KU fraternities vote to ban hard alcohol

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Hard liquor will be banned from Kansas University fraternity houses starting this fall, the school’s Interfraternity Council decided.

The action, coupled with additional programs, addresses

“three critical issues — alcohol abuse, cultural competence and sexual violence — in light of incidents involving Greek life at both a national and local level,” according to a statement from the Interfraternity Council, or IFC, which voted to approve it Tuesday night.

The ban prevents the pres-

ence or consumption of hard alcohol by any members or guests on fraternity property, according to the statement.

It also includes an amnesty clause to encourage chapters to get help for anyone in need of medical assistance.

“The Interfraternity Council has been having extensive con-

versations for several months on creating healthier and safer environments, and we believe that this policy is a critical first step in changing the drinking culture within the Greek community,” IFC President Chris Pyle said in the statement. “I am very proud of our fraternity presidents for having the cour-

age to pass this policy in an effort to make fraternity houses a safer place for all KU students.”

Of KU’s 23 fraternity chapters, 17 have official chapter houses, according to the IFC website.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers who are looking for ways to rid themselves of a $9 billion unfunded liability in the state pension system were told Wednesday that privatizing the system is probably not one of their options.

But local officials in Lawrence and Douglas County said persistent talks in the Legislature about overhauling the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System has already become unsettling to many workers.

“They do make employees nervous,” said Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky.

State officials began discussing the idea of privatizing the system last fall. During an interim committee meeting in December, Secretary of Administration Jim Clark urged lawmakers to consider a process called “annuitization,” whereby the state would transfer the obligations of KPERS to a private company in exchange for an annual premium.

schedule for the campus that shows there will be nearly 40 college-level classes offered between Peaslee Tech and the College and Career Center during the first semester of operation.

Peaslee Tech will have classes in construction, allied health, emergency medical services, biotechnology, criminal justice, industrial engineering technology, welding, and computer technology. The center also will offer several basic academic courses designed to improve job skills in a variety of industries.

Instructors with Johnson County Community College, Neosho County Community College and Flint Hills Technical College will teach the classes, many of which will be on evenings or weekends.

“Most of our students probably will be halftime students,” Hunt said.

“Most of our adult students probably will have other jobs.”

Several of the classes at Peaslee Tech will be open to high school students as well. Thus far, about 20 high school students are enrolled in Peaslee Tech’s construction program.

A state law allows high school students in the their junior and senior years to take many of the technical training classes tuition free. Hunt said tuition rates for adults will vary by class, but probably will average about $80 per credit hour, with a few lab fees. Hunt said financial aid will be available.

while others have specific rules about when alcohol can be consumed, according to the IFC. Tuesday’s IFC action does not ban beer and wine.

In addition to the hard alcohol ban, the IFC on Wednesday also announced the creation of a peer education program to address sexual violence within the greek community and a move to prohibit “offensive behavior,” potentially seen as culturally insensitive, at traditional serenades of sororities.

The IFC governs all current fraternity chapters at KU. The organization’s meetings are not open to the public.

KU fraternities have seen more than one negative incident linked to alcohol in recent years.

In perhaps the most tragic, Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge Jason Wren died of alcohol poisoning at his chapter house in 2009. After drinking at a restaurant he continued drinking beers and carrying around a bottle of hard liquor at the house, his father told the Journal-World at the time.

Alcohol at fraternity houses also has been targeted as one culprit in the past year’s national conversation about campus sexual assault.

add an automotive lab and HVAC lab have been delayed due to time and funding constraints, but Hunt hopes to have that space in place within the next 12 months.

Work on the College and Career Center is further along. Crews currently are installing drywall in the new building. The center will have lab and teaching space for classes in bioscience, health care, law and government, and several other fields.

Peaslee Tech has begun enrolling students in classes for August in recent days. It has an enrollment fair planned for 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on May 13 at Centennial School, 2145 Louisiana St. Hunt said leaders of the center — which is being funded through the city, the county, the local Economic Development council and private donations — are eager to see what type of response they get from prospective students. The center was formed because economic development leaders were convinced the community was losing out on businesses expanding or locating in the area because of a lack of a technically trained workforce.

But Hunt said Peaslee Tech has work to do to educate potential students about what is available in the world of technical training because the concept is still relatively new to Lawrence.

“People who can figure out why assembly lines aren’t working or why products aren’t going out the door have real value to companies,” Hunt said.

“We can train people to do that. They can start making $50,000 a year before they’re even 30 years old.

It will take a little time for people to start hearing about those successes, but that is what can happen here.”

Kappa Sigma fraternity on probation for two years following allegations of sexual assault at the house during a nonapproved social event over homecoming weekend, in which one or more victims was possibly impaired by alcohol.

KU placed Kappa Sigma on probation for violating the school’s sexual misconduct policy, though the Lawrence Police Department’s case remains open and no individuals have been criminally charged.

A group of area KU fraternity and sorority alumni started talking about the hard alcohol issue last fall and suggested such a ban earlier this spring, said David Steen, Housing Corporation president for the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity.

During a meeting between alumni and current students in March, the idea was strongly supported by sorority women and met with mixed reviews by fraternity men, Steen said.

Steen and other fraternity alumni congratulated current members for overwhelmingly approving the hard alcohol ban.

Steen said the “responsible” decision would help fraternity members’ academic success and make houses more comfortable for their guests.

Regents oppose bill requiring prospectus for degree programs

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents came out in opposition Wednesday to a bill that would require all public colleges and universities in the state to provide a detailed one-page prospectus on the costs and future employment benefits of every degree program they offer.

But supporters of Senate Bill 193 said it would be a useful tool as students and their families try to decide where they want to go to school and what they want to study so they could compare the relative costs and benefits of programs at different state institutions.

Blake Flanders, the Regents’ vice president for workforce development, told the House Education Committee that universities already provide a wealth of information about the costs of degree programs and the type of job opportunities available to graduates.

But he said the information called for in the bill would be hard to collect, and in many cases would be inaccurate, especially information about postgraduation salaries.

Flanders said much of that information, especially job placement and salary data, would have

KPERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

legislative committees Wednesday, a representative from Prudential, one of the companies that offers such services to private-sector pension plans, said that probably was not an option for Kansas, at least not now.

“We cannot take on underfunded obligations,” Prudential’s Glenn O’Brien said.

KPERS manages a $16 billion fund and provides retirement benefits for about 289,000 active and retired employees of the state, public schools and local governments in Kansas.

But according to the most recent estimates, that’s only about 60 percent of what it should have in order to be sustainable into the future and pay out all of the benefits it will owe.

Among its active members are nearly 1,800 employees of the Lawrence school district, 526 employees at the city of Lawrence and 330 employees of Douglas County.

Those numbers do not include police and firefighters, or judges, all of whom are in different retirement plans. They also do not include Kansas University employees who are members of the separate Regents Retirement System.

“If they’re focusing on ways to address the funding, that’s positive,” Plinsky said. “We would rather have this conversation than continued lack of attention and no additional funding to support it. But as for what the future holds — that part does make folks nervous.”

While Prudential has taken over risk management of several privatesector pension plans, O’Brien said the company has never tried to manage a public pension system like KPERS, largely because Prudential is an insurance company that is prohibited by regulations from backing up such plans with investments in anything other than bonds.

“I think the information that we heard was probably that it’s not ap-

to be gathered from survey information, which is often flawed, especially if it has to be based on surveys of graduates from each institution.

“Here’s what I can tell you about self-reported data from graduates,” Flanders said. “I think many times it’s over-estimated. Not many graduates ever want to admit that I’m not working for a very high wage.”

Flanders also said the Board of Regents already provides much of the information the bill calls for in an annual report that it publishes and makes available to the Legislature. Much of that, however, is based on U.S. Department of Labor data about salaries paid for various types of jobs, not necessarily the salaries paid to graduates of individual institutions.

He also said few people ever look at that report.

“It’s one of the most under-consumed reports we have,” Flanders told the committee.

The bill passed the Senate in March, 27-11.

But the Board of Regents did not oppose the bill at that time, Flanders said, because officials there were working with committee members in hopes of changing some of its language.

Sen. Jeff Melcher, RLeawood, one of the main sponsors of the bill, said

KPERS numbers Active members: 155,000 Retirees: 87,000 Fund balance: $16.24 billion Unfunded liability: $9.77 billion Funding ratio: approximately 60 percent propriate to consider a change,” said Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, who serves on one of the committees that heard the presentations.

Francisco said she also hears concern from constituents who get nervous from the constant legislative debate over the future of KPERS. “Because what any employee wants is some certainty about retirement,” she said. “That’s what KPERS has provided, and I hope what we will continue to provide. But every time the Legislature meets and might consider a change, it’s very hard to understand how that might impact an individual. And it’s hard for us to share that information because it’s so different, depending on where you are in the plan.”

KPERS is funded with contributions from both employers and employees, and the fund is managed by a state agency that is governed by an independent board. The Legislature is responsible for appropriating contributions for state and school employees.

Other local governments are responsible for making their own contributions.

Since about the 1980s, however, the state has not contributed at a high enough rate to cover the actual future cost of paying out retirement benefits to state and school workers. That has created a large “unfunded liability,” the difference between its current assets and expected investment earnings on one side, and the sum total of future obligations it has already incurred on the other.

By law, though, the state is obligated to pay out those benefits, regardless of whether it has enough money in the

he thinks parents and their families need more information about the relative costs and benefits of degree programs, especially as students are taking out increasing amounts of debt to finance their education.

And in an unusual procedure, he backed up that statement by showing part of a campaign video from Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida, who said during a campaign speech that he had more than $100,000 of student loan debt by the time he graduated from law school.

“We can no longer afford to graduate people from school with loans and degrees that do not meet the jobs,” Rubio said. “And that’s why I believe before any of our young people take out student loans, that school has to tell you how much you can expect to make when you graduate with that degree from that school so people can decide whether it’s worth borrowing tens of thousands of dollars to major in basket-weaving.”

The House committee did not take action on the bill Wednesday. Committee chairman Ron Highland, R-Wamego, did not indicate whether the panel would take action before the end of the session. retirement fund to do so.

That means ultimately, unless the state fills in that unfunded liability, at some point in the future the obligation to pay those future benefits could fall directly onto taxpayers.

In recent years, lawmakers have taken a number of steps in an effort to shore up the system. In 2012, they passed a major overhaul that called for higher contributions from both employers and employees. It also created a new, less generous, pension plan for new employees going forward.

And this year, lawmakers approved issuing $1.5 million in pension obligation bonds.

The proceeds of that bond sale will be deposited into the KPERS fund, but state taxpayers will bear the cost of repaying those bonds out of the state general fund.

But Gov. Sam Brownback and many lawmakers say they want even more changes to reduce the state’s ongoing costs, including handing over the management and obligations of the pension plan to a private company.

Mike Lane, of Dimensional Target Retirement Solution, said that would not solve the unfunded liability for current employees. In fact, it could make matters worse because if new employees contribute to their own fund, it would restrict the flow of money into the fund that is responsible for paying out the defined benefit payments to workers in the current system.

Lane also said the state shouldn’t expect to solve the problem by hoping that a private investment firm could provide better returns.

“You can’t invest your way out,” he said.

Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who also serves on one of the committees hearing the presentations Wednesday, said it wasn’t clear to her where the discussion would lead, but she agreed that it is making many workers nervous.

House panel mulls sales tax hike to close budget gap

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers considered a proposal to increase the state sales tax Wednesday as the Legislature gathers ideas to close a looming budget deficit.

The House also rejected a bill on land annexation and postponed action on legislation that would declare fantasy sports legal in the state.

Under the proposal considered by the House Taxation Committee on Wednesday, the state sales tax would increase to 6.5 percent from 6.15 percent.

The move would raise an estimated $164 million in each of the next fiscal years, but much more would be needed to balance the state’s budget.

Here’s a look at the significant moves by the state Legislature:

Sales tax The projected shortfall for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is about $800 million, but a proposed budget would narrow that to about $422 million.

Democratic Rep. Tom Sawyer from Wichita said he is generally against increasing sales taxes because he views them

as regressive, but said he might be able to support the move if food was exempted.

Taxation Com- LEGISLATURE mittee Chairman Marvin Kleeb, a Republican from Overland Park, said he expects the Legislature will begin building consensus on the combination of tax increases needed to close the gap next week. He said he hopes the Legislature will emerge with something better than a short-term revenue fix.

“A common message from all the legislators that have given us

input is that they want to have a structural adjustment to our tax policy, which will fund the state long-term,” Kleeb said.

Land annexation The House voted 65-57 to reject a measure Wednesday that would have barred cities from annexing land without the approval of the relevant county commission.

Republican Rep. Ken Corbet from Topeka said he supported the measure, claiming that land annexations deprive counties of revenue and hurt residents of townships.

The bill also would have

made tweaks to laws concerning auto maintenance bids, sewer district contracting and the governance of improvement districts.

Fantasy sports The House postponed a vote on a bill that would define fantasy sports as legal, but a spokeswoman for House Speaker Ray Merrick said that the body would address it today.

The measure would bring clarity to an ongoing dispute over the legal status of fantasy football leagues if passed by the House and signed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

District lauds school’s teamwork

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

The staff and faculty at New York Elementary School have had to jump through a number of hoops this school year while construction crews worked on $5.7 million of improvements. Leaky ceilings, jackhammering, dust, a small fire — you name it.

That’s why the Lawrence school district recognized the building’s employees with the annual Team-

work Award on Wednesday.

“You’ve purged, packed, unpacked, moved, put things away, moved backwards, put things away again,” Superintendent Rick Doll said in front of 22 faculty and staff members. “We appreciate the flexibility. Most importantly you’ve turned it into as positive a situation as it could be.”

The award comes with a $1,000 prize for the school, which can spend it on anything building administrators want. Principal Nancy

DeGarmo wasn’t yet sure where it would go.

As part of the $92.5 million bond issue to improve schools in the district, there are several other buildings going through construction comparable to that at New York. But Doll said the people in those buildings, like Cordley and Hillcrest elementary schools, were moved into temporary spaces outside the building, away from the construction.

New York’s construction is due for completion in August.

Myron Graber, a school district administrator in Missouri, has been chosen as the next principal at Free State High School.

Graber is in his seventh year serving the Jefferson City Public Schools in Missouri.

He serves as their academy coordinator but has also spent time as an assistant superintendent of secondary education. He also spent 20 years as a high school principal in several Kansas communities.

“He has a broad knowledge of effective classroom and school management practices and is well suited to work with staff, students and parents to move Free State High School forward on its path toward achiev- Graber ing our district excellence and equity goals,” said Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll in a statement.

Current FSHS principal Ed West will resign effective June 30 to become the principal of Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka.

Graber spent seven years as athletic director and 11 years as a teacher and coach at Fairfield High School in Langdon. He has also worked as an adjunct assistant professor for Baker University. He has a bachelor’s degree from Emporia State University.

“Lawrence has a great school system, and Free State is a great school,” Graber said in a statement. “We’ve been anxious to get back to Kansas, and Lawrence has always been one of those destinations where we knew we’d like to live, so when this opportunity came up, that was it.”

Students take healthy route on COMING FRIDAY IN THE JOURNAL-WORLD National Bike to School Day Some of the stories we’re working on:

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Despite the threat of thunderstorms, Pinckney Elementary and other Lawrence schools saw many more kids arrive by bicycle than normal Wednesday.

The posse of bicyclists came on National Bike to School Day. Various schools encouraged students to saddle up on two wheels and pedal over.

At Pinckney, several parents organized a “bike train” in which adults met students at several spots in the surrounding neighborhood and led them to class.

Five students gathered at Eighth and Massachusetts streets shortly before 8 a.m. Along for the trip was the mother of three of them, Meg Lyles. She said walking or biking is the usual for her sons.

“I feel really safe letting our kids walk,” she said.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department recently launched an effort to encourage more biking and walking to school. In a survey of 49 Pinckney parents, the department found that 2 percent of students typically bike to school and 37 percent walk.

Chris Tilden, the health department’s community health director, said the

Local numbers l 2.5 percent of students ride their bikes to school. l 11.7 percent of students walk to school. l More than 60 percent of students who live less than a half-mile from school have asked to walk or bike. l More than 60 percent of parents worry about safety at intersections and crossings.

citywide rate of students biking and walking to school matches national trends, but he believes

there’s room to improve.

“Given that we have neighborhood schools in Lawrence, we feel we can do better,” he said.

The health department encourages walking and biking to school because students who do have a higher average level of physical activity, which can lead to better overall health and academic performance, health officials say.

Ward Lyles, Meg’s husband and an organizer of the bike train, said the racks at Pinckney usually had five bikes. Wednesday there were more than 20.

Langston Hughes Elementary reported an increase of 40 bikes, while Sunflower Elementary also noticed more two-wheeled traffic.

CREPE EXPECTATIONS

hen Bassem Chahine’s business takes him overseas — and it happens frequently — he knows his wife, Beth, will want to come along for the ride.

“Beth’s hobby is to go to every crepe store in town,” Bassem jokes. “France, Dubai, Turkey — wherever we go, she drags me to the crepe store.”

Now, Beth is the one selling crepes — and Belgianstyle fries — at the couple’s new food window, Crepes & Taters, located inside Fatso’s Public House and Stage at 1016 Massachusetts St. in downtown Lawrence.

Crepes & Taters boasts 20 different varieties of the thin French pancake, from sweet to savory. Think familiar pairings like banana and Nutella, as well as more offbeat creations like the Mamacita — a Latininspired crepe stuffed with chicken or beef, salsa, yellow

IF YOU GO Crepes & Taters, 1016 Massachusetts St., is open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Its Sunday hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and green peppers, onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream and guacamole.

“Taters” come in the form of Belgian-style fries, which customers can pair with free garnishes (ketchup, mustard, hot sauce and the like) or go gourmet with any of the 10 “premium” sauces, which include truffle mayo, avocado ranch and peanut satay.

The titular crepes and taters aren’t necessarily meant to go together, the Chahines say.

Rather, they’re hoping folks will want to eat crepes for breakfast and stop by later in the day for Belgian fries —

STYLE SCOUT

though both are available at all times.

“It kind of works for the location we’re in,” Beth says.

“We wanted to draw both the late-night crowd and the earlymorning customers.”

Until recently, the space housed another Chahineowned food concept: Lebanese Flower, run by Beth’s fatherin-law, Bassam.

The pocket-sized eatery served up falafel, schawarma and other Middle Eastern delicacies to late-night customers for nearly three years before converting to Crepes & Taters last week.

There’s no dramatic story behind the change, says Bassem.

“My dad is concentrating more on the Farmers’ Market and expanding his selection to Natural Grocers and Dillons,” Bassem says of Lebanese Flower, which already sells its hummus and baba ghanoush at the Merc, Hy-Vee and Checkers stores.

business management from the University of Phoenix last month and plans to handle most of the logistics at Crepes & Taters.

She’s played a part in the Chahine family business for more than a decade now, since meeting Bassem as students at Free State High School and learning to cook from her mother-in-law at Lebanese Flower’s original location inside a gas station near 23rd Street and Wakarusa Drive.

Since those early days, Bassem and his family have expanded into other businesses — the Chahines also own the Hookah House at 730 Massachusetts St. and the Euphoria smoke shop located in the breezeway — that often lead him out of the country.

Together, Bassem and Beth have eaten their way through most of Europe and the Middle East. Crepes, they observed, seem to be popular just about everywhere, and Belgian fries have become popular well out-

side the borders of their home country.

It was during their travels around Europe that the Chahines discovered Belgian frites, which are roughly four times the size of regular fries, doubled cooked to ensure a crispy-on-the-outside, fluffyon-the-inside texture; and served up in a giant cone.

Crepes can also be made vegan or gluten-free, says Beth, who strives to keep everything “as fresh and local as possible.” For now, they’re trying to source most of their produce from the Lawrence Farmers’ Market.

And, perhaps as homage to her father-in-law’s business, Beth left a taste of Lebanon on the menu.

“I love shawarma,” she says of the spit-roasted meat. “So I thought, ‘Why couldn’t it work on a crepe?’”

Suitor’s adult daughters ruin marriage chances Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with “Ted” for the past eight years. We each have adult children from previous marriages. Ted has always put his daughters ahead of me and our relationship. When they were younger, I completely understood, but they are adults now, and he still does it.

Ted has to get their permission to spend any time with me. Vacations are completely out of the question. I see him, at best, four times a month, and the girls call and text constantly the entire time we’re together, always about nothing. He has broken our dates and left in the middle of dinner to help them find an earring or a pair of shoes. The oldest recently married, and she and her husband

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

are living in Ted’s basement.

Annie, he put these girls through college.

They have degrees and good jobs, and yet they refuse to leave the nest.

Ted says he doesn’t know how to fix it. We fight about this often, and he always takes their side. I am frustrated. When we first began dating, Ted asked me to wait until the kids were out of high school and said then we’d get married. Then he asked me

‘Top Gear’ host debuts new series High numbers on the odometer aren’t what they used to be.

That’s the theme of two very different programs airing tonight.

A new series from “Top Gear” co-host Rutledge Wood, “Lost in Transmission” (9 p.m., History) scours the barns, garages and salvage yards of America for hidden gems in need of restoration. Rutledge and his cohost, George Flanigen, share a passion for auto resuscitation, but Flanigen knows how to operate on a budget. So let’s just say he provides the brakes for this vehicle.

Among the “Transmission” overhauls are a rare 1981 DeLorean thought lost after being submerged by Hurricane Sandy and a 1964 Ford F100 pickup truck that had become home to thousands of insects.

Meryl Streep narrates “Caring for Mom and Dad” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings), a look at the practical, financial, societal, business and political implications of a population that is living longer than ever.

As “Caring” makes clear, the costs of overseeing a society where the older and elderly outnumber the young are enormous — and not just in dollars and cents. We meet children of elderly parents who simply no longer have time for themselves or their careers, as well as business owners and managers trying to navigate work environments where many are distracted by these responsibilities, among others.

We’re introduced to a new demographic of “sandwich moms,” trying to care for young children, aging parents and a full-time job. There are adult children approaching their own retirements whose resources are exhausted by the costs of caring for elderly parents. Some argue that we need to return to an older model of several overlapping generations living together. Others cite a ballot initiative in Ohio, where an increase in the sales tax was specifically targeted at eldercare.

“Caring” packs a lot of topics into its 60 minutes, tackling a very broad subject as difficult as it is unavoidable.

Tonight’s other highlights

to wait until they were finished with college.

Now it’s when both are married and on their own. I don’t see them ever letting that happen.

Ted bought me a ring, which I am not allowed to wear around the girls because it upsets them. He can’t have pictures of us in his house because they wouldn’t like it. I once posted pictures of us on my Facebook page, and Ted totally lost it because he was afraid his daughters would see.

I suggested we attend counseling, but he refused. He is stressed and unhappy, and being around him is difficult because he takes it out on me. I know this relationship is toxic and I should move on, but it is hard to do when you love someone. We get along great when they leave us alone, but

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 7: This year you open up to many challenges, which ultimately will turn into exciting opportunities.

You learn to pull back and keep your eye on the big picture when deciding what is best for you. If you are single, you could meet someone quite dynamic. If you are attached, the two of you often delight in going away together where you will not be distracted by your day-to-day life.

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) You could have quite a reaction to what is happening.

Take charge if need be. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might not be exactly sure of what you need, but after a discussion, you will gain clarity. Tonight: Follow the music.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You love to guide conversations and be listened to, but sit on that need for now. Tonight: Chat over dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A partner or several people around you might have very different ideas. Tonight: Listen to a different point of view.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be pushing into an area that you probably would prefer not to have to deal with. Tonight: A must appearance.

that rarely happens, and I am constantly depressed about it. What should I do? — Lost and Alone in Kentucky Dear Lost: Please understand that Ted is never going to put you first. He is not going to marry you unless his daughters give their permission, and they aren’t going to do it. So what are you willing to put up with in order to remain with him? If you are OK playing third fiddle to those girls and will take marriage off the table permanently, you could have a nice, limited, semifrustrating relationship with Ted. But if that’s not good enough, leave before you waste any more time.

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

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide to approach a situation differently. You could be quite pleased by embracing a new habit. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep moving forward.

Honor a change, and be more forthright about what you feel.

Tonight: Head home early.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to tell it like it is. Whatever direction you choose to head in, you’ll succeed.

Tonight: Make calls. Plan the weekend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to come to terms with a financial matter or perhaps revise your budget. Tonight: All smiles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Beam in what you want, as the universe flashes a green light in your direction. Tonight: You are on a roll.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Assume little, and you will be much happier. Observe rather than blindly trust someone’s words. Tonight: Be unavailable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone you meet today might be seemingly cool and collected, but he or she probably is extremely emotional. Tonight: Be happy.

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Thursday, May 7, 2015

EDITORIALS

Give and take Individual proposals toward balancing the state budget are getting nowhere. The state needs a broader plan that includes some meaningful compromises on tax issues.

T

he only way to get a state budget approved is for the governor and a majority of state legislators to compromise. That means everyone is going to have to give up something they want in order to pass a balanced budget.

They may as well get started.

In recent days, a variety of tax increases have been proposed in House and Senate committees. The governor’s plan to raise cigarette and liquor taxes is going nowhere. Other possibilities include increased sales tax or maybe adding 5 cents a gallon to the state gasoline tax. A plan that would eliminate the homestead property tax exemption, adding about $46 to most homeowners’ property tax bills, gained tentative approval, but it would only raise about $45 million toward closing the state’s $400 million budget gap.

Officials from the Brownback administration continue to tout the supposed benefit of staying the course on the income tax reductions that were passed three years ago. They refer to income tax as a “production” tax and say that raising it would hurt the state’s productivity.

So it’s better, they say, to concentrate on “consumption” taxes like sales tax, liquor tax, cigarette tax, gasoline tax, etc.

It’s good that some legislators are starting to question that philosophy, pointing out that economic vitality also depends on demand and consumption. It doesn’t matter what goods and services the Kansas economy produces if so much of the state’s tax burden is shifted to consumers that they can’t afford to buy as many of those goods and services.

Maybe the discussions that are occurring in House and Senate committees are primarily intended to gather information to be used in the real budget negotiations, which are occurring behind closed doors. Maybe they are a way to gauge legislative tolerance or support for various tax proposals that may be included in the final budget package.

It’s hard for Kansans to know.

One thing they do know is that it’s impossible to cut state spending enough to close this budget hole. Raising enough revenue to balance the budget will be a process of give-and-take that should include revisiting the state’s income tax changes, not just increasing the “consumption” taxes or property taxes that will be borne disproportionately by the state’s low- and middle-income residents.

As is true with almost every state budget, this year’s budget will have to be a package deal that includes some compromises. For instance, legislators may be willing to accept some level of cigarette and liquor tax increase if the governor is willing to accept some revision of his income tax policy. It’s all about the give and take.

It’s time for elected state officials to start fighting their way out of this budget mess. Standing on principle is great, but it’s time to get practical and produce a budget that is fair to all Kansans and serves the best interests of the state as a whole.

Rhode Island has option to Clinton Washington — America’s smallest state — one Nevada county is nearly eight times larger — has the longest name: In a 2010 referendum, voters kept the official title, State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. The state also has a dark-horse presidential candidate who is the only Democratic candidate so far who can shoe a horse. “Put a blacksmith in the White House” could be Lincoln Chafee’s slogan.

A prep-school classmate of Jeb Bush at Andover, Chafee is a scion of one of Rhode Island’s Five Families. His implausible hope is to defeat Hillary Clinton’s implausible campaign to be anointed champion of, simultaneously, downtrodden Americans and foreign uranium magnates.

He promises a third Barack Obama term: “President Obama has led admirably. He has revived our economy.”

Chafee said this shortly before the grim expectation that the economy’s first-quarter growth would be a miserable 1 percent proved to be five times too optimistic.

Chafee, 62, who served one full term as a Republican senator, became the first person in Rhode Island’s statehood elected governor as an independent. Then he became a Democrat. He, too, is not an obvious candidate to lead the vanguard of the proletariat: His pedigree runs from his father John (Rhode Island governor; secretary of the Navy; four-term senator) back to a great-great grandfather who

George Will

“

Chafee, 62, who served one full term as a Republican senator, became the first person in Rhode Island’s statehood elected governor as an independent.” was the state’s governor, and a great-great uncle who was a U.S. senator, all the way to an ancestor whose arrival in New England in 1637 almost coincided with the arrival of Jeb Bush’s great-great-greatgreat-great-great-great-greatgrandfather.

Upon graduating from Brown, where he majored in classics, Chafee, like a Huck Finn shucking off an Ivy League patina, lit out for the territories. For Montana, to take up blacksmithing, which he practiced for seven years, often at harness-racing tracks, from Canada to Florida. He speaks about shoeing horses with more passion and specificity than he does about his primary interest today, foreign policy: “I want to highlight the importance of more friends and fewer enemies.”

His hopes for the Middle East boil down to “eventually a Gorbachev is going to come along.” His reason for running is “let’s end these wars.”

Regarding domestic affairs, his liberalism is low-voltage.

About Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to make matters worse for the entitlement state by increasing Social Security benefits, he says only: “It depends on who they are for and how you pay for it.”

He dismisses Clinton (“It’s accurate to call her a hawk”) succinctly: “The world is much more chaotic than when she became secretary of state.” Other judgments are more problematic: He says that the late Hugo Chavez, with whom Chafee met twice, “wanted good relations with the United States.”

Chafee has had fine moments. In 2002, he was the only Republican senator to vote against authorizing the invasion of Iraq. In 2006, amid white-hot hysteria about a nonexistent epidemic of flag burning, he was one of just three Republican friends of the First Amendment to vote against sending to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment that would have empowered Congress to ban desecration of the American flag. The amendment, which might have been swiftly ratified by state legislatures eager to clutter the Constitution with a pious gesture, lost by just one vote.

Before becoming a senator and then governor, Chafee became mayor of Warwick,

in spite of being reluctant to meet voters. “When I first went out to knock on doors, it took a while for me to get out of the car.” One of British playwright Alan Bennett’s comedies has this bit of dialogue: Polly: He’s a socialist but he doesn’t like people.

Brian: Nor do I, much.

Polly: You’re a Conservative. You don’t have to.

Chafee probably likes people by now. He is, however, disqualified from bragging about his humble origins.

Such bragging has been a staple of America’s political vaudeville since 1840, when William Henry Harrison, the son of a wealthy Virginia planter family, was elected the nation’s ninth president by pretending to be a hardscrabble member of the logcabin-and-hard-cider set.

Chafee cannot compete with Hillary Clinton’s boast about having been “dead broke” just 15 years and many, many millions ago.

If restive Democrats, shopping for an alternative to Clinton, want a whitehaired New Englander with features as craggy as the region’s coastline, they can play at being sandbox socialists with Vermont’s Bernie Sanders, who has overcome reticence. Chafee’s genteel excoriation of Clinton includes noting that in 1964 she was a “Goldwater girl,” which means she peaked early.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 7, 1915: “Preparayears tions are being ago made to lay sod IN 1915 in front of the city hall. Two new flower beds were built there recently and the city hall folks want to further beautify the terrace by making it a solid mat of bluegrass. The grass has been worn out in places by people cutting across the pavement. Wm. Hayter, the caretaker of the city hall, says that the first man who cuts across the newly laid sod wants to look out for he is not putting the grass there to be trampled on.”

Baltimore mother acting on instinct A few thoughts about Toya Graham, just in time for Mother’s Day. You may not know her name, but you probably know what she did. You’ve probably seen the viral video of Graham, during last week’s unrest in Baltimore, using some rather pungent language and some openhanded smacks upside the head to pull her 16-year-old son out of the riot zone.

She told CBS News he had gone there in defiance of her orders. When she saw him, dressed for mayhem in a black face mask, rock in hand, “I just lost it.”

In so doing, Graham, a single mother of six, has inadvertently become enmeshed in the ongoing shouting match between left and right. She has become a symbol — though neither side can agree on what she is a symbol of.

On the right, where many observers seem just a little too giddy over the image of a black boy being smacked, Fox “News” contributor Ben Stein called her “Rosa Parks for 2015.” It was an inane observation that minimized the legacy of Rosa Parks, but it was perfectly in line with the conservative view which says our most pressing concern in Baltimore’s unrest is

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

But if we want to understand what she did, it might help to concede that Graham is nobody’s symbol, but somebody’s mother.”

“behavior” — i.e., the need to reign in lawless Negroes smashing windows and setting fires in the city.

Fact is, behavior is, indeed, our most pressing concern: but it’s the behavior of police in dealing with African-American citizens.

Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man whom police arrested for carrying an illegal knife — a charge that is hotly disputed — somehow wound up with a partially severed spine while in their custody and died. Death seems to come with jarring frequency to unarmed black men who interact with po-

lice, something that ought to trouble us all.

The fact that some knuckleheaded black kids used the protest over Gray’s death as a pretext to riot — in other words, to behave as knuckleheaded white kids do after sports victories, sports defeats and during last year’s pumpkin festival in Keene, N.H. — makes that no less true.

On the left, meantime, there is a tad too much dewy-eyed hand-wringing over Graham’s resort to violence to drag her son off the street. While conceding Graham’s actions were “understandable and maybe even reasonable” under the circumstances, Eliyahu Federman, a columnist for USA Today, nevertheless wants you to know her parenting style was not “ideal” — whatever that means.

“Shouting and insulting teens just doesn’t work long term,” he writes. “You are more likely to positively modify teen misbehavior by calmly and maturely discussing the consequences of the misbehavior.” One struggles to imagine how a calm and mature discussion with a willful teenager might have played out at ground zero of an urban riot.

Look: That video — the

hitting, the cursing — is not a pretty picture. Such tactics would never be endorsed by Parents magazine. On the other hand, the largely white and middle-class readership of that magazine likely does not live where Graham does nor struggle with the challenges and fears she faces.

Every pundit, yours truly included, has the sometimes-regrettable habit of reducing people in the news to symbols of our own social and political concerns. But if we want to understand what she did, it might help to concede that Graham is nobody’s symbol but somebody’s mother. As she said, she “lost it” because she feared her son might end up like Freddie Gray, another tragic police “oops.”

For most of us, that is a distant and unimaginable fear. But for some of us, it is a fear all too close and all too imaginable, a night terror that gnaws at sleep. Understand this, and that video becomes less of a mystery.

When she saw her son in danger, Toya Graham waded in to save him from it — at all costs and by any means necessary.

Is that not what mothers do?

Haskell Foundation has officially set its fundraising goal: $70 million in the next 10 years.

So far, it has about $250,000.

That, plus an executive director, a website, a Facebook page with more than 760 likes and a few inroads with potential area business partners.

“It’s a lofty goal,” Executive Director Marisa Mendoza said of the longterm number. “We have to think big to get big.”

Mendoza updated the foundation’s progress Wednesday for Haskell Indian Nations University Board of Regents members, convened at the university for their annual spring meeting.

The foundation was resurrected last year after more than a decade of inactivity. The board fell apart years ago, due to problems including a former director being criminally convicted of stealing from the organization.

— Marisa Mendoza, executive director of the Haskell Foundation ecutive director in November.

The website is up and running at haskellfoundation.org.

Mendoza said the foundation is trying to get alumni — graduates and short-term attendees alike — and friends to register on the website in order to create and maintain a database for newsletters and other communications.

The foundation also is working to develop partnerships to help with advertising and fundraising events, and hopes to reach potential donors even outside of Indian Country, she said.

Most of the roughly quarter-million dollars donated to the foundation so far has been designated for athletics, Mendoza said, including $100,000 each from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota in Minnesota and

announced today in Kansas City, Mo.

Wichita — Participants in the winter wheat tour are forecasting low crop yields in fields along northern Kansas counties that they looked at during the first day.

The industry group Kansas Wheat reports that the expected average yield of 34.3 for the first day was slightly lower than last year’s estimate for the first leg. It was the lowest first day average since 2001.

The tour’s estimate reflects the findings of the 92 participants who traveled in 21 vehicles along six routes to inspect 284 fields on Tuesday before ending up for the day in Colby.

Participants in the annual Wheat Quality Tour are finding drought stress, stripe rust disease, winter kill and pest infestations.

The tour continues Wednesday across western Kansas.

Its statewide forecast is

City gets just over quarter inch of rain Just over a quarter of an inch of rain fell on Lawrence as of 9 p.m. on Wednesday, said Brandon Drake of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

Showers scattered over the area dropped 28-hundredths of an inch of rain throughout the day, Drake said.

Heavier rainfall and thunderstorms are expected throughout the rest of the week, Drake said.

“It will hit certain areas worse than others,” he said. “It’s hard to say exactly how much rain will fall.”

Temperatures in the high 70s are forecast for today with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms earlier in the day, increasing to a 70 percent chance of storms in the evening, Drake said.

running.

Mendoza said the foundation was working with Haskell President Venida Chenault to identify priorities.

Chenault named two of the biggest and most expensive goals: building a new science and technology building at a cost of $13 million to $15 million, and renovating the currently shuttered Hiawatha Hall, possibly into a center for graduate studies, at a cost of $5 million.

She said there are also smaller needs that need funding sources, such as student tutoring and scholarships.

“We’re looking forward to the impact the foundation can make throughout the university,” Chenault said.

Mendoza said she’s describing the foundation as “the non-federal face” of Haskell, where donations directly to the university — a federal institution — are subject to sometimes prohibitively complex federal processes.

U.S. Secretary of the Interior will speak at Haskell graduation United States Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell will deliver the 2015 commencement address Friday at Haskell Indian Nations University, the department said in a release.

Jewell is responsible for trust obligations to the 566 federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives, the release said. She also serves as chair of the White House Council on Native American Affairs.

The graduation ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. at Coffin Sports Complex, 155 E. Indian Ave.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has asked the Justice Department to launch a broad inquiry into the city’s troubled police department to determine if officers engage in a pattern or practice of biased law enforcement.

The mayor’s action came a day after meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in which the two discussed bringing additional

assistance to the city in an effort to address what Rawlings-Blake described as “fractured” trust between the police department and the community it serves.

“We have to make sure we get this right,” the mayor said. “Failure is not an option.”

The investigation, similar to a recent inquiry in Ferguson, Mo., would look at all aspects of policing in the city to determine if bias exists in the department’s arrest data, traffic stops and other operations. The review would be separate from an ongoing federal inquiry into a fatal police encounter with Freddie Gray, who died last month in police custody.

It doesn’t matter that Brav STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

The co-pilot of the Germanwings plane that slammed into the Alps appears to have practiced for the deadly descent by setting controls to dangerously low altitudes during a flight earlier that day, French investigators said Wednesday.

The revelation contained in a 30-page interim report from the French accident investigation agency BEA appeared to support the theory that the crash was deliberate and premeditated.

The Airbus 320 co-piloted by Andreas Lubitz crashed in the French Alps on March 24, killing all 150 AFP/GETTY IMAGES people aboard, while on a flight to Duesseldorf, Germany, from Barcelona.

The report said Lubitz also put the engines on idle, which gives the plane the ability to descend quickly.

On the doomed flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, Lubitz set a 100-foot altitude before the plane crashed into the Alps.

The report noted the resetting of automatic flight controls occurred during a four-minute period that begins after sounds picked up on the voice recorder indicate the pilot had left the cockpit.

Aviation experts say it would be highly unusual for a pilot to repeatedly set a plane for such a low altitude for no apparent reason.

The tests “took place during a normal, preprogrammed descent and it never had an impact on the plane’s trajectory,” said Remi Jouty, director of BEA.

Stock values high but not a threat to economy, Yellen says Federal Reserve chair also links low rates to investment risks Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday that stock values are “quite high,” but they don’t pose excessive risk to the economy and financial system.

“Equity market values at this point generally are quite high,” Yellen told International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde in an unusual WASHINGTON

conversation between two of the world’s most influential economic policymakers.

Her remarks, made at a conference at IMF headquarters in the morning, helped pull down stocks in trading Wednesday.

Lagarde asked Yellen if nearzero interest rates are “distorting incentives and leading to a buildup of risk to financial stability.”

“It is true that a low interest rate environment increases the need to be sensitive and watchful for risks to financial stability,” Yellen told Lagarde as the women faced each other on a small stage.

Other participants included U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Sarah Bloom Raskin, Kansas City Fed President Esther George and Anat Admati, a Stanford finance professor and co-author of The Bankers’ New Clothes: What’s Wrong With Banking and What to Do About It. While Yellen said equity values are high, she added that they’re “not so high” considering low bond yields.

In a recent report, Goldman Sachs says stock price to trailing

earnings ratios of about 18 are higher than at the beginning of several of the most recent Fed interest-rate increase cycles, but lower than the one in the 1990s.

Yellen added that rock-bottom rates are also leading investors to take more risks on investments such as leveraged loans and prompting lenders to ease underwriting standards. “We’re certainly seeing a reach for yield,” she said.

Some economists say the higher risks should prompt the Fed to raise its benchmark interest rate sooner rather than later. The Fed has said it plans to act some time this year.

Carbon dioxide levels at new high

A milestone for greenhouse gases cause for concern Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Worldwide levels of carbon dioxide — the gas scientists say is most responsible for global warming — reached a significant milestone for the month of March, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said

Wednesday.

The global monthly average for carbon dioxide hit 400.83 parts per million in March, the first time the average surpassed 400 ppm for an entire month since such measurements began in the late 1950s, NOAA said.

“It’s both disturbing and daunting,” said NOAA chief greenhouse gas scientist Pieter Tans. “Daunting from the standpoint on how hard it is to slow this down.”

The burning of oil, gas and coal for energy releases “greenhouse” gases such as carbon dioxide and

methane. These gases have caused the Earth’s temperature to rise over the past century to levels that cannot be explained by natural variability.

The last time carbon dioxide reached 400 ppm was millions of years ago, according to the journal Nature Geoscience. A 2009 report in the journal found evidence of CO2 levels of 365 ppm to 415 ppm roughly 4.5 million years ago.

“Reaching 400 parts per million as a global average is a significant milestone,” Tans said.

CO2 levels were around

280 ppm prior to the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s, when large amounts of greenhouse gases began to be released by the burning of fossil fuels.

Carbon dioxide is invisible, odorless, and colorless, yet it’s responsible for 63% of the warming attributable to all greenhouse gases, according to NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo.

Levels of carbon dioxide reach their highest levels in May and then going back down as plants absorb the gas. But the long-term trend is up, according to NOAA.

Deflategate punishment must have some teeth v CONTINUED FROM 1B

dy really doesn’t need his footballs inflated to less than the required 12.5 pounds per square inch to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

But a violation is just that.

And this one, while it doesn’t rise to the level of offering a bounty to inspire injuring an opponent, strikes me as worse than text messaging to Kyle Shanahan or piping in extra noise when the Falcons defense is gearing up for third-andlong.

The NFL — with executive VP Troy Vincent swinging the hammer and Commissioner Roger Goodell needing to back him to the hilt — had better take Brady off the field temporarily for this or never utter another word about integrity, fair play or competitive balance.

Speak your message, NFL, and support it with some strong action. That means sitting Brady down for at least a game or two, a punishment that would send a strong message about cheating.

And Brady shouldn’t be the only one to take a hit.

Though coach Bill Belichick, team owner Robert Kraft and the organization at large were not found to be engaged in underinflating footballs — this according to the findings of investigators led by Wells — it happened on their watch. That’s why Payton got hammered with his one-year suspension. Ignorance, Goodell said in the Saints ruling, is not an excuse.

And in the Patriots’ case, the benefit of the doubt doesn’t apply, because they were warned

by Goodell after Spygate in 2007 that if they were found violating rules in the future it would be held against them.

Well, the future is now. I can’t see how the punishment won’t include, in addition to a sanction against Brady, a hefty fine for New England and maybe

even some price to be applied in next year’s draft.

You can bet more than a few people around the NFL, many who have suspected the Patriots of crossing the line in various instances over the years, will be watching intently to see how hard the league will hit one of its signature franchises and most popular players.

Tom Brady is a three-time Super Bowl MVP. fathom on one level, especially with Brady.

Where’s the hard evidence?

Shoot, Tom Brady Sr., the GQ quarterback’s dad, even suggested to USA TODAY Sports that his son was being framed.

No, Brady is being identified as an obvious suspect because it’s naive to think a professional quarterback doesn’t have an inkling about the footballs he throws. And this is the same Brady who joined forces with Peyton Manning in 2006 to lobby the league for a rule change that allowed road teams the opportunity to prepare their footballs just like the home team.

You know, competitive balance.

Brady’s unconvincing assertions during a January news conference — so weak that they inspired a Saturday Night Live skit — obviously weren’t on par with Michael Vick lying about

his involvement with a dogfighting ring. But when Brady refuses to turn over cellphone records to investigators, it does nothing to clear his name.

The circumstantial evidence is damning. Jim McNally, New England’s longtime locker room attendant, and John Jastremski, the equipment staff assistant, implicated Brady — as well as themselves.

Without question, McNally and Jastremski need to be relieved of their game-day roles.

McNally, who called himself the “deflator,” was the guy who took the footballs from the officials’ locker room to the field without permission from those officials before the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts and stopped off at a bathroom for 1 minute, 40 seconds, with the footballs in tow.

Jastremski is the one who talked with Brady multiple times after the Colts’ suspicions and NFL involvement became public knowledge and, for the first time in his 20 years with the Patriots, visited with Brady in the “quarterback room” at Gillette Stadium the morning after the title game.

Wells didn’t buy these instances as coincidence, and neither should the rest of us.

That’s too bad for Brady, who has been such a class act and big-time winner throughout his career. He will still go down as one of the greats, just like Belichick is among the best coaches in NFL history.

But it’s pretty apparent that Brady’s legacy is not complete without mention of Deflategate.

That doesn’t tarnish Brady’s standing as a clutch winner. Yet this adds fodder for debate.

Now it’s up to the NFL to come down on one of its marquee players, as hard as that will be for a league that has been rocked over the past year by so many more heinous episodes courtesy of situations that were far more serious.

Former House speaker Jim Wright dead at 92 Praise heaped from officials in both parties Catalina Camia @ccamia USA TODAY

WASHINGTON When former House speaker Jim Wright died Wednesday, praise was heaped by politicians in both parties on the Texas Democrat who is linked to one of the most rancorous and partisan times in congressional history.

President Obama hailed Wright, 92, for being a “committed public leader and a proud World War II veteran” who served a Fort Worth-based district for 34 years. Speaker John Boehner made reference to Wright’s deep love of what’s known as the “people’s House,” which the Texan liked to call the “raw essence of the nation.”

Amid the admiration for Wright’s lofty oratory, his quest for peace in Central America and the occasional reminder of his bushy eyebrows, there was little mention of his painful decision to resign in 1989.

He was the first House speaker forced to step down amid ethics charges. For months, Wright had been battered by accusations that he improperly accepted gifts and violated income rules because of royalties he received in a book deal.

IN BRIEF FEDS STRUGGLE WITH RISE IN NUMBER OF OLDER INMATES

Inmates 50 and older remain the fastest growing segment of the federal prison population, and authorities are struggling to manage their increasing medical care and assistance with daily living, an internal Justice Department’s review found.

Between 2009 and 2013, the number of inmates 50 and older grew by 25%, to 30,962, while the portion of younger prisoners declined by 1%, the Justice Department’s inspector general reported.

The review is part of a continuing series of examinations of the federal government’s costly prison system.

And while the federal Bureau of Prisons last year relaxed its policy on the release of elderly or medically compromised inmates who are 65 and older, the review found that only two inmates without medical conditions had been freed during the first year (August 2013 to September 2014) of the revised policy, which is aimed at trimming an overall prison population of more than 200,000.

House speaker and also resign, doggedly pushed the ethics violations until they became too much for Wright, who stepped down to end the “mindless cannibalism” that had seeped into Congress.

Wright maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal.

“Let me give you back this job you gave to me as a propitiation for all this season of bad will that has grown up among us,” Wright said in his resignation speech. His departure, he said, would serve as “total payment for the anger and hostility” for an ethical storm then raging on Capitol Hill.

Twenty-five years later, Wright told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he “may have made a gross misjudgment” in resigning.

“Speaker Wright was a brilliant legislative leader, a powerful partisan, and a man of enormous determination and drive,” Gingrich said.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi hailed Wright as a patriot with “determined vision and legendary ability.” She said he was a “person of deep courage, brilliant eloquence and complete mastery of the legislative process.”

As House speaker, Wright was known for pushing legislation on trade, health care, raising the minimum wage and ending aid to rebels in Nicargua known as the contras. He is best known in Texas for the Wright Amendment, which limited flights to and from Love Field so Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport could grow and thrive.

NATION/WORLD U.K. ELECTION

British candidates shy away from foreign policy, U.S. ties Kim Hjelmgaard and Katharine Lackey USA TODAY

Britain’s election today is highlighting how the oncedominant player on the world stage is turning inward and dissolving its longtime role as the United States’ most vital ally.

Voters are heading to the polls here amid dramatic spending cuts by Prime Minister David Cameron, who over the past five years has slashed military funds and the nation’s diplomatic corps.

Those cuts are unlikely to change even if his main rival — Labour’s Ed Miliband — is the victor.

“The U.K. really isn’t pulling its weight on the world stage in a manner that we’ve come to expect,” Raffaello Pantucci of the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies said. “It’s clearly something that has an impact on how the U.S. views the U.K. — you don’t just want your partner to be a partner for the sake of it, you want them LONDON

to be useful and to help advance your interests around the world.”

Britain’s retrenchment has shifted the center of European power to Berlin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Britain had committed the largest contingent to U.S.-led military coalitions in Iraq and Afghanistan. But in recent years, it has shunned a leading role on the

refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, sanctions on Russia over its actions in Ukraine and the nuclear deal with Iran.

While the campaign has featured every conceivable domestic issue, conspicuously absent is foreign policy. Miliband remarked on the topic in one speech. Cameron hasn’t touched it.

For everyday Britons, how much of an Anglo-American bond remains may cut along generational lines.

“I’ve always felt very strongly it’s a good relationship between the two countries,” Londoner Molly Robinson, 84, said. Even 70 years after the end of World War II, that hasn’t changed, she said.

Caroline Jays, 42, a florist from Essex, said a lot of the British people feel they’ve followed the U.S. into wars that maybe they didn’t need.

“I think the public feels like we’ve played follow the leader,” she said.

Patriot Act vote could splinter Republicans Erin Kelly USA TODAY

A debate over the USA Patriot Act is spotlighting a split between security hawks and privacy advocates within the Republican congressional majority, and analysts say the privacy faction appears to have the upper hand.

Lawmakers have until the end of May to decide whether to extend expiring provisions of the law, passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, that gives federal law enforcement agencies sweeping powers of surveillance over Americans and citizens of other nations.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has introduced legislation to simply renew the Patriot Act as is. He said the government’s power should not be weakened at a time when the threat from the Islamic State and other militant groups is growing.

But he faces fierce opposition in the Senate and the House from Tea Party-aligned Republicans and liberal Democrats.

FROM ROBERTS, A LIBERAL DOSE OF AUTONOMY

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

His blurred ideology is most noticeable this term: Roberts has voted with the liberal justices more often than the conservatives.

Chief justice serves notice: He remains his own man with his own opinions

“The chief justice is truly fashioning the court into his own image.

There is less ideology and more unanimity.”

Neal Katyal, former acting U.S. solicitor general

Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON When Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Supreme Court’s four more liberal justices in a campaign financing decision last week, it was reminiscent of a similarly unusual alignment three years earlier.

That’s when Roberts, in perhaps the most controversial action he has taken during nearly 10 years on the court, crafted the 5-4 ruling that preserved President Obama’s fledgling health care law — and incurred the wrath of conservatives who had heralded his nomination in 2005.

The latest case wasn’t as consequential, but it served notice that Roberts remains his own man on the court, willing to form majorities with justices to his right or left. That inclination will be watched closely this spring in major cases on same-sex marriage and, once again, Obamacare.

“The signs thus far point to something that we have seen emerging over the past few years — that the chief justice is truly fashioning the court into his own image,” says former acting U.S. solicitor general Neal Katyal.

“There is less ideology and more unanimity.”

The blurred ideology has been most noticeable so far this term: Roberts has voted with the liberal justices more often than the conservatives. He has agreed with Stephen Breyer in 90% of the court’s judgments and with Ruth

Bader Ginsburg in 87%, according to statistics kept by Scotusblog. The level of accord drops to 79% with Antonin Scalia and 67% with Clarence Thomas.

Conservative legal analysts aren’t surprised. They “have discerned from the beginning that Roberts is not exactly where Scalia is on a whole host of matters,” says Ed Whalen, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

In 18 cases with divided opinions this term, Roberts has sided seven times with most of the liberals against most of the conservatives. Among them: uWilliams-Yulee v. The Florida Bar: Roberts wrote the 5-4 decision upholding rules in 30 states that bar judicial candidates from directly soliciting donations.

Until then, he had been a firm opponent of campaign finance restrictions; he wrote last year’s decision striking down federal limits on the aggregate amount wealthy donors can give to candidates and political parties. uYoung v. United Parcel Service: The chief justice sided with

In a 5-4 vote, Roberts agreed that the federal government went too far by prosecuting Florida fisherman John Yates under a criminal law that targets white-collar destruction of evidence.

the four liberal justices in a 6-3 ruling that said companies cannot deny physical accommodations to pregnant workers if they are made available to many other workers with similar restrictions.

Justice Samuel Alito filed a separate concurring opinion. uYates v. United States: In a 5-4 vote, Roberts agreed with Ginsburg, Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor that the federal government went too far by prosecuting a Florida fisherman under a criminal law that targets white-collar destruction of evidence. Alito concurred in a separate opinion. uRodriguez v. United States: Roberts, along with Scalia, joined the four liberals in denying police the freedom to detain drivers during traffic stops so police dogs could search for drugs. It was a victory for privacy groups and a defeat for law enforcement.

The trend has triggered speculation that Roberts has moderated his views over the years, or that he has the court’s broader reputation in mind.

Yet on most major cases, from the Citizens United decision that year unleashing independent campaign spending by corporations to his own 2013 opinion striking down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, he has upheld conservative principles.

“Roberts’ record remains very conservative,” says Brianne Gorod of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center. “But he’s clearly becoming less predictably conservative in some key areas, and his votes this term underscore that.”

tion at the Brookings Institution.

“More than a decade later, people worry that the law went way too far and want to scale it back.”

The House Judiciary Committee last week voted 25-2 to pass the USA Freedom Act, which would end the mass collection of phone records under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, a program revealed in 2013 by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The bill is expected to come to the House floor for a vote as early as next week. Lead sponsors range from conservative Republican Reps. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin to liberal Democratic Reps. John Conyers of Michigan and Jerrold Nadler of New York.

The same bill has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., with the support of Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah.

The Freedom Act sponsors want to block the bill by McConnell and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., to extend Section 215 and other Patriot Act provisions through 2020.

The security hawks appear to be outnumbered by the privacy advocates, especially in the House, analysts say.

Patrick Eddington, a policy analyst specializing in homeland security and civil liberties issues at the Cato Institute, said, “We’re seeing a resurgence of a traditional strain of Republicanism that is manifesting itself as a rejection of the post-9/11 surveillance state.”

West said it’s more likely Congress modifies the law than repeals it: “People still recognize that America faces security threats but want to get rid of the most onerous provisions.”

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a strong privacy rights advocate, said he believes the growing number of congressional Republicans criticizing mass surveillance reflects the sentiments of GOP voters.

“The Republican leadership in the Senate is in a very different place than the Republicans coming to my town hall meetings ... who are concerned about government power,” said Wyden, who vowed to block a straight renewal of the act.

“If you look at the dollar amount, that’s not why I took this job,” Morris said. “It wasn’t about the money. Now, it’s all about the money.”

Parents who have contributed to the campaign are angry it’s come to this.

“I think this is an absolutely hideous situation to be in,” said parent Rodie Purcell, who donated $100. She is unhappy that

The Arizona Republic

After years of absorbing funding cuts from the state, teachers and parents at one West Valley elementary school are taking an extraordinary step to save their librarian’s job — a crowdsourcing campaign.

A Go Fund Me campaign has been set up online to raise $20,000 to save the librarian’s job at Estrella Mountain Elementary School in Goodyear in the Liberty Elementary School District.

Liberty will lose $2.4 million in state funding next year because three of its five schools are district-sponsored charters, and the state will no longer fund that type of charter.

Teachers and parents launched the Go Fund Me campaign April 21 to save Lara Morris’ job. Typically, school leaders are loath to use donated money to pay for jobs because the funding is unsustainable.

“But right now, we’re in a perilous situation, and we have to go one year at a time,” said Michele Bove, one of the teachers who started the campaign and who donated $100.

So far, $7,115 has been raised.

Morris, who likes to dress up as Star Wars Princess Leia to spark a love of reading in her students, said that when she

Tesla beat analysts’ first-quarter earnings expectations on Wednesday as it continued to ramp up sales of its electric sedans and prepared for the launch of its new electric crossover.

SUNNYVALE , CALIF. Whether it’s building self-driving cars, a fleet of balloons to blanket the world with the Internet or tiny particles to detect cancer, Google is known for thinking big — really big.

Now the Internet giant is digging into its mountains of cash and tapping some of the world’s smartest minds to take on another serious and elusive challenge: cracking the code on the lack of diversity in the technology industry.

Google is raising the stakes in its bid to attract more women and minorities, Nancy Lee, Google’s vice president of people operations, told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview.

Last year Google spent $115 million on diversity initiatives. In 2015, it’s planning to spend $150 million on a far-reaching campaign that stretches from inside the walls of Google into the industry at large, Lee says.

In February, Intel set aside a $300 million fund for diversity efforts over the next five years, or about $60 million a year. In March, Apple pledged $50 million to non-profit organizations, including the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and the National Center for Women and Information Technology. Facebook would

MARTIN E. KLIMEK, USA TODAY

not disclose how much it is investing in diversity efforts.

Lee says it’s not just the dollar amount but Google’s “holistic” strategy to make the tech industry more representative of the populations it serves — from routinely testing hiring, promotion, performance-evaluation and compensation programs for fairness, to embedding engineers at a handful of historically black colleges and universities where they teach students and advise on computer science curriculum.

“Our strategy is extremely long term. Sure, we are doing things that can show an impact maybe this year, maybe next year. But we recognize that there is not enough talent entering into our industry and that we have a lot of work to do,” Lee says.

Diversity strategist Joelle Emerson says other technology companies are learning from Google, which is taking an innovative and data-driven approach to closing the gender and racial gap.

“Google is the first company that has been talking publicly about anything innovative,” said Emerson, founder and CEO of Paradigm. “So much of what we are all doing is watching what Google is trying and trying similar things.”

It’s never been much of a secret that tech companies are largely staffed by white and Asian men. People just seemed to ac-

cept the lack of women, African Americans or Hispanics as part of tech culture. And for years companies kept critics at bay and their workforce demographics under lock and key.

GOING PUBLIC

“There is just this incredible energy ... around diversity,” says Yolanda Mangolini, Google’s director of diversity.

GOOGLE’S WORKFORCE DIVERSITY JAN. 2014 GLOBAL STAFF

Male 70% Female 30% JAN. 2014 U.S. STAFF

White 61% Asian 30% Two or more races 4% Hispanic 3% Black 2% Other <1% NOTE DATA MAY NOT TOTAL 100% BECAUSE OF ROUNDING SOURCE GOOGLE

That changed about a year ago when Google decided to kick off a more open dialogue about diversity by publishing a report that revealed the lopsided demographics of its employees. Seven out of 10 people who work at Google are men. Latinos make up just 3% of the workforce, African Americans 2%.

The disclosure triggered a wave of similar reports from Facebook, Apple, Yahoo and others.

This isn’t altruism. Google wants to secure its own future by establishing itself as a leader in diversity as it grows beyond search advertising into myriad other businesses in an increasingly global marketplace.

Whites are expected to dip below 50% of the U.S. population by 2044, Latino and African-American buying power is on the rise and Silicon Valley has ambitions that now lap the globe. Having women and minorities building, not just using, the products dreamed up here is a competitive advantage. v STORY CONTINUES ON 6B

Zynga delivered better-thanexpected first-quarter earnings Wednesday and announced plans to lay off 18% of its workforce. Investors cheered the move: The social games developer’s stock jumped more than 6% in afterhours trading.

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

Energy drink maker Monster Beverage has energized the Nasdaq for a long time. Sure, Internet stocks are the rock stars of the Nasdaq, but Monster Beverage has posted much more refreshing stock gains since the Nasdaq peaked back on March 10, 2000.

According to an analysis done

by USA TODAY’s Matt Krantz, Monster Beverage is the best-performing stock in the Nasdaq 100, a collection of the Nasdaq’s 100 most valuable non-financial stocks, gaining roughly 52,800% since the 2000 tech-bubble high.

And this year alone it is up another 30% to $140.48.

The problem is Monster Beverage has a monstrous-sized priceto-earnings ratio, according to

Krantz. How high: nearly 50 times its trailing diluted earnings, which is nearly the valuation of soft-drink giant Coca-Cola.

And while Monster has delivered strong double-digit earnings gains each quarter (20%-plus growth to be exact), it has to keep delivering on the top and bottom line if the stock can keep its fizz and not go flat.

Monster reports first-quarter earnings today. At the start of the week, Wall Street expected Mon5 day avg: -1.47 ster to post earnings per share 6 month avg: -0.91of 68 cents, which would be AAPL 24% Largest holding: better than last year’s profit AAPL of 55 Most bought: cents, saysMostearnings-tracker sold: AAPL Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

“The tech industry really understands that the future of our industry means we have to be more inclusive,” Lee says. “We are literally building products for the world. It can’t be this homogeneous.”

Google historically has recruited from about 100 schools. But while 14% of Hispanic college enrollment is in four-year colleges, they make up just 7% of enrollment at the 200 most selective schools.

The car may be exciting, but the stock is scary Q: Is Tesla a stock for the long term?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Tesla is many things. It represents a push for cleaner energy. The company is a business vehicle of a visionary. But there’s one thing the electric-car company is not: a stock you buy and hold.

The car company — a brainchild of CEO Elon Musk — is pushing the idea of new forms of transportation and energy storage. Such story stocks usually captivate the attention of individual investors.

But infatuation can quickly cause investors to make one of the No. 1 mistakes: confusing a trade with a long-term investment.

Investors want this company to succeed. Shares rose in after-hours trading after Tesla late Wednesday reported an adjusted loss of 36 cents a share — better than the 51 cents a share loss expected.

Investors are also pleased to see the company’s quarterly revenue jump 54% to $1.1 billion. But if there’s a company that’s for traders — and not long-term investors — it’s Tesla. Even though the company is boosting revenue, investors need to remember the company still loses money — and it has its entire history.

The valuation doesn’t give investors protection either, as it’s trading for 30 times book value — much higher than the market’s three times value. Yes, this stock can go up. But investors need to be ready to cut losses if it falls.

More than half of Google’s nearly 56,000 employees have attended a 90-minute seminar on unconscious bias. Now Google is offering “bias busting” workshops that give Google employees practical tips on addressing unconscious bias. Nearly 2,000 have taken the workshop.

Last June Google debuted the Made with Code campaign, designed to get young women excited about learning to code.

Another program, CS First, makes it possible for a teacher, coach or volunteer to teach middle school students coding basics.

Economic opportunity is the theme of another set of efforts aimed at closing the digital di-

vide. Google runs camps for minorities and women to teach them how to harness the power of technology to boost their small businesses. Earlier this year Google launched a supplier diversity program to create a more diverse pool of vendors.

“There is just this incredible energy and momentum around diversity,” said Yolanda Mangolini, Google’s director of diversity and inclusion.

“We have definitely increased awareness,” says Jessica Moore, a Google people operations associate who spends 20% of her time on diversity. But, she added, Google “still has work to make sure everyone feels bought in to advancing diversity.”

NEW YORK To borrow lyrics from a very famous song, you can graduate high school, but you can never leave.

That’s the premise of The D Train (opening Friday), the offkilter comedy starring Jack Black as the head of a reunion committee trying to get his alma mater’s one semi-famous graduate (James Marsden) to attend. Black tracks him down. They get drunk.

A very unexpected sexcapade goes down.

Black, 45, calls it the “funniest script I’d read in a long time. It was very dark. The way it deals

Black asks with obvious awe.

“Was that tough?”

Whenever Marsden returns home, celebrity has a strange effect on his former classmates.

“There are people who were your friends then and your friends now,” says Marsden, 41.

“And there’s an interesting phenomenon that happens where people (are) mean: ‘I don’t really watch TV. I saw one of your movies and I didn’t love it.’ ” And like Black’s needy, grasp-

Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin) move in together as they cope with canceled credit cards, real estate disputes and the surreal reality of telling their children about the reconfigured families.

ing Dan and Marsden’s elusive, plastic Oliver, relationships between the famous and not-somuch can be odd, at best.

“They think they have an ‘in,’ and they want to use it,” Black says. “But I feel bad, because if you give me a script, it’s going into a pile of never-reads.”

The biggest difference between then and now? Smartphones.

with the laws of attraction — it (messes) with that a little bit.”

Marsden’s Oliver Lawless is the chiseled golden boy who gleams at his old classmates from a TV commercial. Black’s Dan Landsman is the dork who tries to befriend someone he views as a total celebrity, who himself is at the bottom of Hollywood’s very rigid pecking order.

Being on the receiving end of wide-eyed adoration is just strange, Black says.

“I’ve never met any of my heroes and been like, ‘Now, that is a meeting I’m glad I had.’ Because it’s always awkward,” Black says.

“They’re a little creeped out.”

Black attended Crossroads School, a Santa Monica high school with a celebrity alumni list, and graduated in 1987. Marsden graduated in 1991 in Oklahoma, where he once donned MC Hammer pants handmade by his mother as an actual fashion statement. “You rocked those?”

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have been friends for decades. savors schedules and sartorial splendor.

But Fonda, 77, and Tomlin, 75, are also starting over at a time when their peers are moving into gated retirement communities.

And, Fonda says, you can absolutely begin again. Whenever.

And however.

“I’ve done it so many times I can’t believe it. I’ve been in places where I thought, this is the end. I can’t go on. There’s no future.

Within months, I thought, I’m so glad this happened. It’s a whole new life,” says the actress, who has been married and divorced three times. “But you have to be

intentioned.”

Accepting change is easier “if you’re open and loving and passionate,” says Tomlin. “That’s what we want people to see, too.

There’s a whole other life out there.”

The pair have been friends for 30-plus years. Tomlin is the cutup to Fonda’s straight woman.

But both are very serious about the message that their show gently, teasingly spreads: Women over a certain age are viable, intelligent and sexual creatures.

“We want to give a cultural face to older women, to how they really are as well as how they aren’t,” says Fonda. “This country is ageist. Men can be older and they’re not judged accordingly. That’s why I wanted to do a show like this.”

Tomlin married writer/producer Jane Wagner in 2013. She’s thrilled to be part of something in which “two men of an older age (are) coming out,” she says. “I never dreamed that gay people would be able to marry.”

Ballock accepts Curry invite

GOLF

Right approach

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Eudora High sophomore basketball standout Mitchell Ballock has accepted an invitation to the 2015 Stephen Curry Select Camp, set for June 29 to July 2, in Alameda, California.

Ballock, a 6-foot-4 combo guard ranked No. 23 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, recently was one of 20 prep guards from around the world to receive a personalized You Tube invitation from Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

Ballock won the “best shooter” award at last summer’s initial Curry camp. Ballock “What’s up, Mitch?

Hope you had a great sophomore season back in Kansas,” Curry said on the video entitled, “Mitch Ballock, you are officially invited to the SC30 Select Camp.”

“You know it was great working with you this past summer. You definitely shot the lights out. My dad definitely wants his revenge this summer (in shooting competitions). So I want to invite you back to the second-annual SC Select Camp. We’re going to have a lot of fun. We’re going to work hard like we did last year and we’ll get even better. Hope you are wearing that (Under Armour) gear proudly and we’ll see you this summer,” Curry added.

First-team all-state pick Ballock, who averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game last season, also has accepted invitations to the 2015 Adidas Nations camp and Pangos All America camp. He has received early scholarship offers from Kansas University, Iowa State, Oklahoma and others.

Is he proud to receive the Curry invite?

“Very,” Ballock said. “It should be a good time. It definitely was last year.”

GARY WOODLAND REACTS AFTER MISSING A PUTT ON THE 13TH GREEN in the final of the Match Play Championship on Sunday in San Francisco. Though Woodland finished second to Rory McIlroy, Woodland jumped from 52nd to 32nd in the World Golf Rankings.

Woodland wisely picks his spots Our local touring PGA player can be a frustrating guy to follow.

It’s not frustrating to watch him, as long as you realize that golfers with exceptional swing speed tend to stack up more double bogeys because the smallest deviation from a perfect swing is exaggerated more than for typical pros. It’s frustrating to not watch him. Woodland skips many tournaments, and when he’s not playing, it’s more enjoyable playing golf than watching it. And nothing is more frustrating than playing golf.

It’s not that Woodland doesn’t enjoy playing in tournaments or lacks the stamina to compete in more of them. Any golfer near the No. 50 mark in the World Golf Rankings must plan his schedule carefully either to crack into the top 50 or protect one’s position in it.

Finishing in the top 50 is an automatic ticket to several big tournaments, including The Masters. Woodland finished 48th last season, which takes care of this year.

He entered last weekend’s Match Play Championship

Martin Kaymer, etc. At the end, only McIlroy and Woodland were standing.

Woodland knows exactly what he’s doing with his schedule, and he’s working it to his advantage. Had he kept me glued to the TV every weekend last summer, tkeegan@ljworld.com local fairways would have far fewer deep divots, but ranked 52nd. After finishing who knows if he would have second to Rory McIlroy, the played as well at The Match world’s No. 1-ranked player, Play Championship?

Firebird Liston signs KU letter

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior Ryan Liston remembers sitting down for lunch with a friend last year, and they started talking about their future college options.

He liked Kansas University’s journalism program but didn’t think there was any way he would be good enough to make the school’s cross country and track team.

A year later, he did just that.

Liston held his signing

ceremony, alongside several of his track-and-field teammates, Wednesday in the Free State library after signing his letter of intent to run for the Jayhawks.

“I was pretty confident that I would not be able to run at KU,” Liston said.

“Just based on the times of the people who were running there and the times of people who had gone there — their high school times and whatnot.”

Liston has been a strong runner for the Firebirds for

in Lawrence by keeping me glued to the TV set, instead of cracking the top 50 of the WGR, he likely would not have finished in the top 50 and wouldn’t have played in last weekend’s event, and, man, did he ever show the world that his game is in terrific shape.

Based on last year, Woodland also qualified for The Players Championship, which some call the “fifth major,” played every year at TPC at Sawgrass, the one with the island green on No. 17. Woodland tees off today at 7:39 a.m. with James Hahn and Ian Poulter, whom Woodland defeated, 3 and 2, in the Match Play Championship last weekend in San Francisco.

Based on last weekend’s break-out performance, I am expecting the cameras will find him more often than usual, as long as he stays hot.

Lest you think that translates to fewer cavernous divots on Lawrence fairways, think again. I found the remote recently, know how to operate the DVR and am taking a few more vacation days.

Tuesday night, Wedd reminded the 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end that coaches from Oregon, Iowa, Arkansas and Oklahoma would be dropping by to say hello to the four-star recruit, Rivals.com’s No. 1-rat-

ed player in the Sunflower State’s Class of 2016.

According to Rivals, the senior-to-be already has scholarship offers from Florida State, Ohio State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Iowa, Arkansas, Kansas, Kansas State and more.

“Every day is total chaos with that many schools interested in him,” Wedd said.

“And they all think they have a shot, because he’s basically open-minded to everything.”

Marshall running back charged in beating Huntington, W.Va. — Marshall running back Steward Butler was charged in the beating of two gay men Wednesday and dismissed from the team.

Butler was arraigned before a Cabell County magistrate on two misdemeanor battery counts Wednesday and was released on $10,000 bond.

Huntington police Detective Chris Sperry said in criminal complaints that Butler got out of a car after seeing the men kissing on a street on April 5 in Huntington. Sperry said Butler allegedly then began shouting derogatory words about their sexual orientation and punched the men.

Sperry told media outlets that one of the men took a video of the incident on his cellphone.

The detective said evidence in the case has been turned over to federal authorities for review of possible civil rights violations.

Sperry and an attorney for Butler didn’t immediately return telephone messages.

Butler had been suspended indefinitely from the team earlier Wednesday, and Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick said he and coach Doc Holliday agreed to the dismissal after learning more about the case.

Butler was Marshall’s secondleading rusher last season with 798 yards and seven touchdowns.

Liston CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

the past few years, but he transformed into an elite runner last year during the cross country season, when he won Sunflower League and regional titles.

He points to his midseason win at the Haskell Invitational as the turning point to becoming a more aggressive runner. Instead of running in the middle of the pack and saving a push for the end, he started running in the front.

“Sometimes Ryan’s confidence level doesn’t always match his talent level,” FSHS cross country coach Steve Heffernan said. “He’s a part of great group of distance guys, and all these guys are a great class. But we recognized early on that Ryan had some talent. He just had to learn that he had that talent.”

KU distance coach Michael Whittlesey was also in attendance at the Haskell meet and told Liston he saw big improvements from a summer camp, especially more confidence.

“It just really made me have a goal to focus on,” Liston said of his meeting with Whittlesey. “It gave me more motivation to push because I realized I had worked myself to a position where I could actually make it to KU.”

Indians roll over Royals Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Indians had won just twice in their first 11 games against left-handed starters this season, and were forced to face Royals lefty Danny Duffy on the mound Wednesday night.

They didn’t have to look at him for long.

Just about everyone in the Cleveland lineup drove in a run as the Indians knocked Duffy from the game in the second inning, eventually cruising to a 10-3 victory over Kansas City.

“You’re not going to score five or six runs every night,” said Brandon Moss, who homered and added a two-run double to lead the charge. “But the last two weeks we’ve been a good bit better.”

Six other Indians also drove in runs, helping Carlos Carrasco (4-2) end

a three-game skid against the Royals. He gave up a two-run homer to Kendrys Morales, but otherwise shut down a Kansas City lineup that returned hot-hitting outfielder Lorenzo Cain from a twogame suspension.

Carrasco allowed five hits while striking out six in seven innings.

“I felt good before the game,” he said. “Just felt like it was going to be a good day.”

Cleveland had already taken a 4-0 lead when Duffy (2-1) was yanked after facing five batters without getting an out in the second. The Royals’ bullpen briefly slowed the onslaught, but the Indians added four more runs in the seventh to put the game away.

“I really just didn’t do my job today is what it came down to,” Duffy said.

Liston chose the Jayhawks a couple of days after taking an official visit in December, impressed with their facilities and resources, which he hopes will lead to improvement in his running mechanics and times. He picked KU over Drake University, Pittsburg State and Washington University in St. Louis.

“Right after the official visit, I was like, ‘If they’re offering me a spot, I’ve got to go here,’” said Liston, who was sporting a blue KU hat and track T-shirt. “The things they had at their disposal just really pushed it over the top for me.”

Four other Free State track and field athletes celebrated their college signings Wednesday.

Cole Stallard will run for Baker University, Nick Hocking signed with Johnson County Community College, Hannah Shoemaker will throw for Mid-America Nazarene University, and Kiara Clark will run hurdles for the Academy of Arts in San Francisco.

At last year’s Class 6A state track meet, Clark took fourth place in the 100-meter hurdles and second in the 300-meter hurdles, Shoemaker finished seventh in the discus, and Hocking was 14th in the discus. Stallard took 61st at last season’s Class 6A state cross country meet.

BRIEFLY FSHS baseball outlasts O-North Olathe — After waiting 20 hours to complete the eighth inning, Free State High’s baseball team beat Olathe North, 7-5, on Wednesday at the Olathe District Activity Complex.

The game was suspended with Free State leading by three runs in the top of the eighth Tuesday because of inclement weather. After restarting with one out and runners on second and third, FSHS junior Mikey Corbett scored on a groundout to give the Firebirds a 7-3 lead.

The Firebirds (13-4) only recorded four hits, but drew nine walks.

Mia Comparato scored the Lions’ goal on an assist from Skylar Drum.

The Lions (4-9) will host SM South at 7 p.m. today.

Bledsoe CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

At this juncture, Bledsoe, recognized Wednesday at LHS as one of 400 nominees for the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, has no short list or timetable for making his decision. In his words, his recruitment is “wide open.”

Brief as his encounters are with coaches from all over the nation, Bledsoe likes that he can start to establish some relationships and get a feel for different programs that are interested in him.

“It’s pretty crazy, but it’s also fun at the same time,” Bledsoe said.

“You’ve just gotta find that balance.”

It can all become a bit overwhelming at times.

Wednesday the coveted Lion couldn’t even remember which schools he met with the prior day.

Bledsoe has yet to establish any favorites or publicly name any specific coaches or programs that have impressed him.

“They’re all kind of the same right now,” he said.

According to Wedd, the quiet young line-

“He’s amazing. He’s handling it really well,” Wedd said. “At some point he’s gonna have to whittle it down to a workable number.”

Bledsoe said he’s still trying to decide which universities he’ll visit. He did, though, attend KU’s spring game a couple weekends ago and met defensive line coach Calvin Thibodeaux.

“I definitely see a change in how stuff’s working around there with (head coach David)

Beaty,” Bledsoe said. “I feel more energy with the players and coaching staff. That’s what I like to see.”

While receiving attention from some of the most prominent programs in the nation, Bledsoe also hears occasionally around Lawrence from people who don’t want him to leave the city.

“It goes back and forth.

There’s people that don’t want to get in your hair and let you make your own decision,” the junior said, “and then you’ve got those people who are like, ‘Come on. You can be a hometown hero.’”

by Rivals.com, said he also plans to visit Alabama and West Virginia. He was set to play for Baylor this past season, but there reportedly were issues with his high school transcripts, and he failed to qualify academically.

He decommitted from Baylor in November and then made official visits to Oregon and Texas and an unofficial visit to Maryland. Georgia, UCLA, Alabama and Missouri have also been considered options for Eubanks.

Eubanks averaged 18.5 points as a senior at Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York. He was a teammate of current KU signee Cheick Diallo. He scored in double figures in 25 of 27 games with a pair of 30-point games. Prior to that, he played three years at American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida.

Vick update: Former SMU commit LaGerald Vick, a 6-5, 175-pound shooting guard from Memphis, announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he was “Blessed to have just received an Offer from the University of Kansas!” He included a picture of a Jayhawk under the tweet.

Vick, who is ranked No. 137 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, is seriously considering reclassifying to 2015. Kentucky, Louisville and Virginia are also believed interested.

“Right now we’re getting his transcript together and it looks like he will be eligible for 2015,” Norton Hurd, Vick’s Team Thad AAU coach told catsillustrated.com.

“Coaches that have seen him play know he didn’t get the same spotlight.

He’s the truth. He’s going to make a big impact wherever he goes. He’s a really good ballplayer.

“He’s looking for some-

l

where that needs him,” Hurd added. “He’s not coming to be caught up in tradition, he’s coming to (be a) major part of what’s going on. If a school doesn’t have that available that’s not for him.”

Of his ability, Hurd told catsillustrated.com: “Offensively he’s one of the most skilled guys in the country. He’s super athletic. Not too many people in the country can create his own shot like him. He’s like an underrated Malik Newman. If he were to go to Kentucky or wherever fans would be like ‘Oh my gosh, we got a steal. This is a kid we shoulda took from day one.’” l

Mack update: Tevin Mack, a 6-6 senior small forward from Dreher High in Columbia, South Carolina, is expected to visit Texas unofficially this weekend, his mom, Paula, tells midlandshssports.com. He has already used up his five visits.

Paula told the website that her son will take part in a virtual tour and video-conference via Skype between Tevin, Paula and coach Bill Self.

BRIEFLY KU (22-28) collected 14 hits on the day to complete the sweep of the midweek series.

“To rally back and win the game, it is a really good feeling in the dugout,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

“To come from behind and win like that gives us great momentum heading into the weekend.”

Kansas will travel to Fort Worth, Texas, for a threegame Big 12 series at TCU starting Friday.

Martin’s slam lifts KU baseball Evanston, Ill. — Freshman catcher TJ Martin’s grand slam in the top of the ninth inning lifted Kansas University to a 10-7 nonconference baseball victory over Northwestern on Wednesday at Rocky Miller Park.

“I just wanted to get a good pitch to hit,” Martin said. “That was a big situation there. (Junior pinch hitter) Jacob Boylan had a good at-bat in front of me and worked a walk to give me a chance to hit. I was expecting a fastball, but he threw me a changeup, and I was a little out in front but got enough of it to send it over the wall.”

The slam was part of a six-run ninth. Earlier in the inning, senior Dakota Smith hit a two-run home run.

“Dakota came up huge earlier in the inning,” Martin said. “That was a huge hit he had to tie the game up and give us confidence to keep moving along in the inning.”

Kansas 003 001 006 — 10 14 1 Northwestern 100 300 201 — 7 13 1 W — Stephen Villines, 3-3. L — Joe Hoscheit, 2-1.

2B — Connor McKay, KU; Zach Jones, Cody Stevens, NW. 3B — Blair Beck, KU. HR — Dakota Smith, TJ Martin, KU; Scott Heelan Luke Dauch, NW. Kansas highlights — McKay 3-for-6, 2 R; Smith 2-for-6, 2 R, 2 RBIs; Michael Tinsley 2-for-5, R, RBI; Martin 1-for-2, R, 4 RBIs.

Stigler honored

by Big 12 again For the second time this season, Kansas University senior Michael Stigler was named Big 12 Track & Field Athlete of the Week.

Stigler, who boasts the world’s No. 1 and No.

4-ranked times in the 400-meter hurdles, is the second Jayhawk in Big 12 history to earn two weekly conference honors in a single season.

KU tennis signs three Kansas University tennis Wednesday announced the signing of three international student-athletes.

Nina Khmelnitckaia (Moscow), Anastasiya Rychagova (Moscow) and Janet Koch (Durbanville, South Africa) signed national letters of intent with KU, coach Todd Chapman said.

“We are very excited to have Nina, Anastasiya and Janet join our KU tennis family,” said Chapman.

“I believe this group is another step in the right direction in reestablishing KU as a prominent program on the national scene. All three of these young ladies have the chance to come in and put their stamp on the program immediately.”
