Sex crimes at KU: More dangerous or more aware? —————————

University saw 2nd highest number of reported offenses in Big 12, according to Clery data By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

There were more sex offenses reported at Kansas University than any other Big 12 university except the mega-sized

University of Texas, according to a comparison of the schools’ most recent Clery reports. Despite having one of the smaller main campus enrollments in the Big 12, KU had more sex offenses

The next big school funding question

reported than eight of the conference’s 10 universities — many more, a Journal-World analysis shows. KU had 32 forcible sex offenses, defined as rape or fondling, on or near its main campus reported to

law enforcement or university officials in 2014, according to the university’s 2015 Clery report. Following KU were the University of Oklahoma with 18, Iowa State University with 17 and Kansas

State University with 16, according to their respective 2015 Clery reports. Texas, where enrollment more than doubles KU’s, had 51 forcible sex offenses, according to its 2015 Clery report.

Some say numbers like those indicate KU is more dangerous than other schools. The university contends that’s not the case. Please see CLERY, page 5A

Kan. Supreme Court to decide adequacy of current finance level By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The Kansas Supreme Court will soon be asked to decide whether a school finance bill that lawmakers passed on the final day of the regular session provides truly equitable funding for public schools. In an earlier ruling, the court suggested that schools would not be allowed to open in the fall if lawmakers failed to solve the constitutional problems in the current funding formula. Assuming the new bill passes constitutional muster — and many people think that’s a big assumption — then schools would reopen as scheduled in the fall. And as far as students, parents and teachers are concerned, life will COURTS go on as normal. But that won’t be the end of the legal battles over school finance, because whenever the equity issue is finally resolved, the court will next turn its attention to the much larger question of overall adequacy of school funding. The adequacy issue is not only bigger in terms of its potential price tag — roughly $550 million a year in additional school funding, according to the three-judge trial court panel that first heard the case — but it is also bigger politically, so much so that it is likely to dominate the upcoming 2016 legislative elections, regardless of which way the court rules.

New Kansas standards Coincidentally, around the same time the Supreme Court changed the definition of adequacy by looking at student outcomes, the Kansas State Board of Education was changing its own curriculum standards for education, adopting what it now calls the Kansas College and Career Ready standards, which define whether students are on track for college admission or the workplace by the time they graduate. The board also instituted new standardized tests for measuring student achievement under those standards, and the first scores from those tests were released last fall, showing that most students in Kansas are still performing below state expectations. According to results from the 2015 tests, more than 1 in 5 students who took the English language arts test scored below grade level, and fully 58 percent scored below the level considered to be “on track” for college or the workplace. Among black and Hispanic students, 70 percent were not on track for college or careers. And in math, the numbers were even worse: fully two-thirds of students taking the test were not yet on track for college or the workplace, including 81 percent of Hispanics and 85 percent of black students. The decision to come In written briefs filed with the Supreme Court, the plaintiffs argue, among other things, that the test scores show that current funding remains inadequate, and they are asking the court to uphold the three-judge panel’s order to increase funding by at least $550 million a year. The state, meanwhile, argues that current funding must be considered adequate because all schools in the state are accredited, which means they must be meeting the standards established by the State Board of Education. The state also argues that the whole question of “suitable” funding for education is a political question that must be left to the Legislature, and not the courts. The court has said it plans to hear oral arguments in the adequacy case sometime this spring, although a formal date has not been announced. And many observers say they don’t expect a decision until after the November 2016 elections, in part because five of the seven Supreme Court justices are up for retention on that ballot. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Junk on old school property poses challenges for county

A day of dance

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

For years, the oneroom schoolhouse on County Route 1055 just south of Lawrence had been a reminder to neighbors and passersby of the idyllic nature of country life. But now Fairview No. 21, built in 1890 and situated on an acre and a half, has come to symbolize the underbelly of living in the country. Junk cars, old tires, beat-up appliances, bicycles and other debris litter the yard and the right of way next to the road. Flood lights at night, loud noises and lots of traffic to and from the old school also are making neighbors mad. On windy days, the rubbish blows out of the yard and lands on other property. Neighbors say the property has to be in violation of county codes. Douglas County officials agree that it is, but for months it has been reluctant to bring the hammer down. Instead, as part of its

“We have gotten a lot of complaints,” said Sarah Plinsky, assistant county administrator. But even as the county continued to try to get the tenants to do the right thing, tenant David Sharon continued to bring more junk onto the property, Sean Reid, the county’s new director of zoning and codes who is monitoring the property, said he observed. On Friday, Plinsky said she and Reid had decided to escalate enforcement.

chased by Donald Fritz, Linda’s husband, in 1973, according to the Douglas County Register of Deeds. The property was well kept until Donald Fritz’s death in 2011, neighbors said. His wife became sole owner at that time, according to county records. Linda Fritz, as owner, is ultimately responsible for the property. A few weeks ago, she told the Journal-World that she had rented the dumpster for her daughter and boyfriend to use to get rid of the debris at the request of the county. “They are supposed to be cleaning up the yard,” said Fritz two weeks ago. She also said she was extremely frustrated that “the kids” were not taking better care of the place. She acknowledged it was a slow-go because of Sharon’s disability and that “the kids are hauling off some of it to make extra cash.” Fritz blamed the mess on previous tenants, who she said had chickens and dogs living inside the schoolhouse. “It’s been a horrid mess,” she said. “I don’t know where the (former tenants) are. They just vanished. The kids have been working on getting it cleaned up.” The Fairview school closed in 1961 after having served the community as a school, a Sunday school and community center where political meetings, literary society meetings and spelling bees were held, according to Watkins Museum of History records. Before the school fell on hard times, a 2014 survey by Dale Nimz, a historic preservation consultant for the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Commission, said the building could be a candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.

“Because the tenant continues to bring new materials on site and the site continues to be in substantial non-compliance, despite the efforts of the property owners to provide means to clean the property, the County feels it must escalate the enforcement action,” Plinsky wrote in response to questions from the Journal-World. Andrew Kustodowicz, Reid referred the case graduate student, to the county attorney Lawrence for review and to deter“I think it would be my mine what the county’s friends, and by extension, next steps will be, Plinsky the Internet, because wrote. that’s how we connect Plinsky said in an internowadays.” view two weeks ago that she had been reluctant to escalate the matter. “At this point in time we are working with the property owner and the tenant ... If we escalate the situation and turn it over to the court system, it prohibits staff from working with the landowner and the tenant. So it’s a tough situation for staff to make that judgment call.” Reid had managed to Elizabeth Crandon, get the tenant Sharon optometrist, to put a dumpster in the Lawrence. schoolyard in February “I’d have to say my cell- and county officials saw phone.

research universities in the country.” He was chosen in late March by the Washington State University Board of Regents to become the 11th president of the university. Schulz replaces Elson S. Floyd, who died of complications from cancer last June at the age of 59. Floyd was a major factor in the creation of the new medical school, and it will be named for him.

Unlike Kansas, which is cutting support for higher education, Washington lawmakers recently moved to cut tuition for students and then gave the state’s colleges money to make up the difference, Schulz said. “No other state in the country” has done that, he said. Schulz said he is aware that the athletics department has lost more than $13 million in each of the past two years. He said he plans to work with the department to come up with a plan in the next six months to create “a time frame for expenses and revenues to match.”

Schulz said he is a big supporter of intercollegiate sports and understands Washington State University competes with richer schools in the Pacific-12 Conference. Schulz said he is looking forward to exploring the Pacific Northwest in his camper, and he loves living in small college towns like Pullman. The regents were presented with three finalists to replace Floyd, who died in June. They unanimously voted to extend an offer of employment to Schulz, who has been president of Kansas State since 2009. The names

inspector filed a report in October saying she had spoken to a cousin of one of the tenants at the property and told him that the junk had to be removed. The inspector visited again in November and in a report following a visit on Dec. 1, the inspector wrote that nothing had been done: “This looks really bad.” In a letter a few days later to Linda Fritz, inspector Kay Pettit wrote that the “exterior storage” of motor vehicles, tires and debris “constitutes operation of a junk/ salvage yard” according to Douglas County Zoning Regulations and was not permitted in that neighborhood. The letter informed Fritz that trash, including the tires, must be disposed of properly. The letter said Fritz had 30 days, until Jan. 4, to clean up the site and be in compliance. A month later after reinspecting the property, Pettit wrote, “This looks worse than ever. Debris is now in the right of way ... (Sharon) was cutting apart an apartment-sized refrigerator. I told him he had to get all of this trash picked up ... He said he was diabetic and could not work very much.”

Complaints mount The complaints started rolling in. One woman who was trying to sell some acreage across the road said she had lost two sales because of the condition of the Fritz property. One neighbor reported seeing 20 pickup loads of trash and scrap metal being dumped on the property, a codes inspection report said. The caller said people were bringing in two and three pickup loads every day. Another caller said car motors were running all night and people were periodically revving the engines. “He believes they are collecting scrap/metal/ junk and dumping on the property,” the county codes report said. “Also had concerns about a seven-year-old child living on the property.” Neighbors said they also of the other two finalists were not revealed. Schulz, 52, is a Virginia native who graduated in 1991 from Virginia Tech with a doctorate in chemical engineering. He worked as a professor at the University of North Dakota, Michigan State and Mississippi State. Schulz told the Kansas State community that he will remain as president through mid-May before transitioning to Washington State. Schulz must negotiate his new contract, which must be approved by the Washington State University Board of Regents.

called the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to report the noises and floodlights. Information about any action the Sheriff’s Office has taken wasn’t immediately available.

Hoping to work it out Until this week, county officials are still expressing optimism that the matter can be resolved without going to court. Reid, the county’s new director of zoning and codes, said he’s working hard to reach an amicable solution with Fritz. “I explained we wanted to work with her to get the property cleaned up and suggested that an important step towards compliance could be accomplished by placing a Dumpster on the site, demanding her tenants start cleaning-up the trash, and conveying to the tenants that the property was not approved for use as a junkyard,” Reid wrote in his report on Feb. 12. But it became clear that process wasn’t working. In an interview last week and in an email on Friday, Reid said he had visited the property and noticed that there were materials there that weren’t present during his first visit. The county’s reluctance to take the case to court is consistent with a strategy the county has used in other cases recently. The strategy has drawn some criticism after the county showed leniency with a 2014 code case involving Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was building a rural home without all the necessary permits. Until late Friday afternoon, county officials said they believed not taking the case to court was the best course of action to resolve the mess. Now, they are reconsidering that position. “It is difficult,” Plinsky said. “Once you move to

court it makes it harder for (Fritz) to deal with her daughter. At least now we are able to send letters to the tenant and try to make some of those things move forward. When it goes into the court system, the conversation will be between Mrs. Fritz and the courts.” Reid said he believes Fritz is trying. “I have found Linda Fritz to be cooperative,” he said. “I sense she is as frustrated as I am. She is cooperating. She did get a Dumpster out there.” As for Sharon, the tenant who neighbors say has been operating a junk business, he said that’s not the case. During an interview with a Journal-World reporter, Sharon was in the process of working on a Chevy Blazer. The hood and fenders were missing, and the frame was broken. The cab of the pickup sat on the ground nearby. Tools were scattered on the ground. Sharon said it’s difficult for him to clean up the mess and he can’t work very long because he suffers from arthritis as a result of a motorcycle accident in 1988. He said the property is not a junk yard. Most of the trash was there when he moved in, he said. And he said he put up flood lights because “people were stealing his stuff,” including a broken dirt bike that his 7-year old son had bought. But Sharon said the property will get cleaned up. First he needs to complete another project: He plans, he said, to put wooden side panels on his truck to haul away the debris. “Hopefully next week we will have it all done,” he said on March 22. But on Friday afternoon, 11 days later, a dumpster was in place waiting for someone to put trash in it. — Enterprise reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at 832-7162 or kdillon@ljworld.com.

KU is one of four Big 12 universities on that list, joining K-State, Iowa State and Oklahoma State. “There’s certainly a national conversation,” Boyer said. “There’s increased awareness of these laws and their requirements, not just by institutions but also by students, parents and other members of the public.” Boyer said trends in reporting vary from school to school but that increased awareness could lead to increased reporting.

Rather, heightened awareness on campus and rigorous efforts to educate about sexual assault have led to more victims coming forward, KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said. “We know from national data that sexual violence is underreported,” she said. “These numbers show that KU’s ongoing efforts to increase reporting are working.”

Lawsuits say KU is dangerous Last month, a former KU student-athlete, who said she was raped in Jayhawker Towers in 2014, and her parents sued the university. Daisy Tackett’s civil suit claims KU did not properly handle her rape report and also failed to take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual ass a u l t s from occurring at Jayhawker Daisy Tackett Towers. A separate suit filed by her parents, James and Amanda Tackett, under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act accuses KU of misleading the public by representing campus housing as safe. Both lawsuits say sex offense statistics from KU’s 2015 Clery report are evidence the university and its campus housing facilities are unsafe — increasingly unsafe, because reported sex offenses have gone up the past three years. “KU has repeatedly represented to Plaintiffs and other prospective or current students or their family members that KU’s residence halls are safe and secure,” the lawsuit from James and Amanda Tackett states. “These representations are false. In truth, KU’s residence halls have for years been home to a known, persistent and growing problem of instances of sexual assault.” Universities’ Clery reports break down how many of the total sex offenses happened in campus housing, at other oncampus locations or off campus. At KU, 16 of 24 oncampus sex offenses in 2014 occurred in residential facilities, according to KU’s 2015 Clery report. Another eight sex offenses occurred off campus. The percentage of sex offenses reported in campus housing versus other locations varies widely among Big 12 universities. All 10 sex offenses reported at Texas Christian University in 2014 occurred in on-campus housing, according to the school’s 2015 Clery report. At Texas, only six of 51 total sex offenses reported in 2014 occurred in on-campus housing, according to its Clery report.

LAWRENCE RESIDENT LISA ROBERTS, CENTER, LISTENS TO AN ACCOUNT OF RAPE from a victim during a forum on sexual assault Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014, at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building. A Journal-World analysis found Kansas University had the second-highest number of reported sex offenses in the Big 12 in 2014 despite having the seventh-highest enrollment among those universities. Act requires postsecondary institutions to track and annually report crime reported on their campuses. Clery reports tally crimes reported to campus police, other law enforcement and university officials — such as KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which investigates reports of sexual violence separately from police. They include crimes reported on campus proper, public property adjacent to campus and non-campus properties such as fraternities, sororities and buildings used for university purposes that aren’t necessarily contiguous to the campus. At KU for example, while the school’s Clery report shows there were 32 sex offenses in 2014, only seven sex crimes were reported to KU police that year, according to the KU Office of Public Safety’s 2014 crime statistics. In Lawrence, the Lawrence Police Department handles criminal reports that occur off-campus — including at Greek houses or houses and apartments near campus — but many victims may choose not to report sexual violence to law enforcement at all, turning to the KU Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access instead. Abigail Boyer is associate executive director of programs at the Pennsylvania-based Clery Center for Security on Campus, whose mission is to work with schools to create safer campuses. Boyer said it’s by design that Clery requires reporting from a broader scope of people, including campus leaders such as coaches, Greek advisers or the dean of students. “These individuals are trusted on campus, and a student or employee is often more likely to disclose sexual violence to them because of their existing relationship,” Boyer said. “As a result, the institution has a better picture of what incidents are affecting the campus community, even if a person chooses not to report to the police.”

“We frequently encourage parents and students to look beyond the numbers,” Boyer said. “An institution that is intentionally implementing thoughtful prevention and response programs may be more likely to receive reports because individuals may be more comfortable coming forward.” Some schools nationwide have been accused of covering up sex crime reports or punished for failing to comply with Clery requirements. The U.S. Department of Education enforces colleges’ compliance with the Clery Act, and its Federal Student Aid office can issue fines of up to $35,000 per violation of Clery provisions, according to information provided by a USDE spokesperson. Violations include “substantial misrepresentation of the number, location or nature of the crimes required to be reported,” according to the USDE. The largest fine ever given to a school was $357,500, assessed against Eastern Michigan University in 2007 for Clery violations.

Reports up sixfold at KU KU’s reported sex offenses have increased sixfold in three years, which university officials have consistently attributed to increased reporting. There were five sex offenses reported in 2012, 15 in 2013 and 32 in 2014, according to KU’s 2015 Clery report. While some Big 12 universities saw similar spikes, the trend wasn’t across the board. Other schools’ sex offense numbers went up less dramatically or stayed about even over the same threeyear period. In January 2014, President Barack Obama announced the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, followed by requirements for universities nationwide. KU had a lot of media attention — much of it negative — over sexual violence in 2014. A KU student who said a male student she knew raped her in Lewis Hall, twice, went public with ‘Look beyond the num- her story that summer. bers’ She claimed KU misWhen interpreting handled her case and Clery crime statistics, failed to adequately puncontext is important, ish her attacker, and also Boyer said. filed a complaint with the

USDE that added KU to a national list of schools being investigated for their approach to sexual violence on campus. Student protests followed. KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little formed a Sexual Assault Task Force that met throughout the 2014-15 school year and made recommendations, including establishing the new KU Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center that launched this spring. Even before that, KU had sexual violence education and prevention measures in place that many other schools did not, spokeswoman Barcomb-Peterson said. “Since 2012, KU has had an office dedicated to investigating Title IX violations, including sexual violence,” she said. “The university has been talking about sexual violence since before it became a topic of national conversation.” Spurred by a variety of complaints and lawsuits, a number of other universities have received negative media attention — and continue to — over sexual violence on their campuses. Nationwide, there are now a total of 173 postsecondary institutions under investigation by the USDE for their handling of sexual violence investigations, according to the most recent list.

Resolutions unknown What became of those 32 forcible sex crimes reported at KU and the more than 150 reported at other Big 12 schools in 2014? Clery doesn’t require that kind of follow-up data. It also doesn’t require a breakdown of how many offenses were reported to law enforcement — meaning they have the potential to lead to criminal charges — versus other university channels. Clery does require universities to count “unfounded” crimes, but that’s also limited.

Only sworn law enforcement can “unfound” crimes, and only after an investigation finds the crime to be false or baseless, Boyer said. Some schools don’t have sworn law enforcement officers, and not all sex offenses are ever reported to police. Few Big 12 universities listed any sex offenses as unfounded except West Virginia University, which said five of its 12 sex offenses reported in 2014 were unfounded, according to the school’s 2015 Clery report. When it comes to university investigations and adjudications, while it does not include offense dates, KU does provide a list of sanctions imposed in cases of sexual harassment, including sexual violence cases, on its Student Affairs website. According to KU, from May 2012 through September 2015, the university expelled 13 students and disciplined 29 others in less severe ways, mostly suspensions and probations. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

EDITORIALS

Strong start The experience that Lawrence’s new city manager brings to the job should be an important asset for the city.

wo weeks into his new job, Lawrence City Manager Tom Markus already has gotten involved with several important local issues — and shown an ability to look at some of those issues with a fresh set of eyes. That approach was most apparent last week when Markus refused to rubberstamp the Lawrence Police Department’s request to hire 17 new officers beyond what had been included in this year’s budget. That kind of mid-year adjustment apparently had been routine in recent years to accommodate resignations and retirements in the department, but Markus said he would not approve the request, which had an estimated cost between $640,000 and $1.3 million, without City Commission approval. Markus further contended that considering such requests outside the regular budget process was not “a good management practice except in rare or emergency conditions.” Commissioners subsequently approved Markus’ recommendation to approve 14 new hires for this year, and instructed him to create a plan that would allow the city deal with this hiring issue as part of the annual budget process. That seems like a good adjustment. Markus also has jumped quickly into the “mess” surrounding parking at the new HERE @ Kansas development east of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium. He probably is getting a crash course in parking problems in the residential areas around KU, but he didn’t hesitate to remind commissioners of the consequences of failing to reach some agreement that allows this project to go forward. The city staff and city commissioners may have to engage in some give and take on this issue to adequately protect the interests of the city and the neighborhood, but it doesn’t hurt to get a new perspective on the problems. When Markus was hired, many residents saw his long experience as a city manager, including time in another university community, as a valuable asset, especially considering the relative inexperience of the current City Commission. Many also were pleased that Markus was not part of the local city management tree and would bring new ideas to the table. After a year that included the resignations of a city manager and a mayor and the election or appointment of four city commissioners with no previous experience in elected office, it’s good to see a new leader willing to hit the ground running.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 28, 1916: years “A coal mine will ago be sunk on Mount IN 1916 Oread, it was announced this morning by A. C. Terrill, professor of mining. The securing of coal will be secondary, the chief object being to furnish actual practice for the students of mining, Prof. Terrill said. Beneath the strata of Oread limestone, not very far below the ground surface, there is a four-inch vein of coal, which will be reached first. Then down about 160 feet, Prof. E. Haworth of the department of geology thinks, there is another vein, which may be reached later.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

‘Conservative’ has lost its meaning About 20 years ago, when the syndicate that represents this column was preparing to pitch it to newspaper editors, I was called in for a meeting with the sales staff and somebody asked me this question: “Are you liberal or are you conservative?” I said, “Yes.” I wasn’t trying to be a wiseguy. OK, maybe a little. But I was also trying to convey my impatience with our bipolar political discourse, with the idea that I was required to pick a team. I was trying to preserve for myself the right to think a thing through and come to my own conclusion regardless of ideological branding. But at the same time, I knew what I was being asked. When they said, “Are you liberal or are you conservative?” those words had concrete meaning, embodied real political concepts. But that is no longer the case — at least where the latter term is concerned. Once upon a time, when a person identified as conservative, you knew the ideas he or she meant to convey — low taxes, small government, resistance to social change. But a word that once encoded a definite set of values and beliefs now seems utterly bereft of inter-

nal cohesion, less a name for an ideology than for a mood: surly, nasty and put-upon. They don’t like the rest of us. Nor do they seem to like each other all that much, feuding with a bitterness and constancy that would make even the Hatfields and McCoys tell them to tone it down. Yes, ideology still gets lip service, but its importance has become secondary, if that. How else to explain that people who once considered Christian faith their founda-

tion stone have coalesced behind a candidate who can’t name a Bible verse? Or that people who once valued a grown-up, clear-eyed approach to foreign policy support candidates who want to “carpet bomb” the Middle East and pull out of NATO? Or that people who once decried “a culture of victimization” now whine all day about how they are victims of biased media, bullying gays and political correctness? How to explain that people who once vowed to safeguard American moral decency from the nefarious irreverence of liberals — think President Bush chastising “The Simpsons” in the era of “family values” — now put forth candidates who tell penis jokes? A few days ago New York Times, columnist David Brooks professed to be excited by this act of selfimmolation — “This is a wonderful moment to be a conservative,” he gushed — because after this debacle, conservatives will be able to reinvent themselves, unencumbered by “existing mental categories and presuppositions.” Like when a comic book or movie franchise gets re-booted, I suppose. One had the sense of a man desperately painting lipstick on a pig.

The right is rotting from within, putrefying on its own grievance and rage. It seems bereft of core values and beliefs unless you count its determination to always oppose anything the left supports, up to and including motherhood and sunshine. That’s as close to principle as conservatives come these days. Given the way they have spurned their party’s 2012 election “autopsy” report, which called for greater inclusion and a gentler tone, one wonders if these folks are capable of, or even interested in, the reinvention Brooks predicts. Conservatives do not need to be “liberal-lite” — no ideology has a monopoly on good ideas. On the other hand, when your base is the Ku Klux Klan, Ted Nugent and people sucker-punching strangers at rallies, it’s a sign that a little self-reflection is overdue. “Are you liberal or are you conservative?” I had a smart aleck answer 20 years ago. But it occurs to me that if they asked that now, I’d have to request clarification. My worldview hasn’t changed. But I no longer have any idea what “conservative” means. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

The sight of the outhouse alone would suffice to send most of us sprinting toward the loving arms of modern plumbing, wireless Internet and the promise that a monthly mortgage brings. Not Thompson, however, who isn’t selling his home and who has been practicing a life off the grid since Oct. 31, 2015. Thompson’s abode, about the size of a small one-car garage or a large garden shed, is actually owned by a couple of organic farmers in southern Jefferson County who offered the living space to him rent free in exchange for his help with some tasks around the farm. As far as furniture goes, Thompson has a futon on the south wall and a breakfast table and two chairs on the north wall. Just outside the east window is a sink where he washes his dishes. Positioned against the west wall is a rickety painter’s ladder that leads up to a loft space, where he sleeps inches below the ceiling. “I’ve woken up from bad dreams before and hit my head,” he says with a smile. When everything is said and done, Thompson, who works five days a week as a stylist at the Greenroom Salon, 924 Massachusetts St., estimates his monthly cost of living to be around $300. “I pay for my cellphone every month. I got to put fuel in the truck and insure it, and I got to buy food, and that’s it,” he said. “A handful of hours out of my week I spend working here on this farm to ‘pay my rent.’ That’s our sort of work/trade arrangement. Those three hours are pretty easy to work in on the weekend. My whole personal philosophy on this sort of lifestyle is one of reducing costs to an extreme instead of having to save a bunch of money to reach your goals. The idea is to live for free.” Although he may have the familiar disdain for putting a pen to a check, his inspiration for pursuing a life off the grid didn’t necessarily come from

STEVEN THOMPSON WASHES HIS DISHES at a sink he has set up outside his home. a love of the outdoors, quiet nights or the howl of the prairie wind. It did, however, according to Thompson, stem partly from a time when he was 13 years old on a 40-acre sheep farm in Creighton, Mo. The inspiration Thompson speaks of, Y2K, is best remembered for the hysteria leading up to it that was all but forgotten once everyone woke up on Jan. 1, 2000, with bank accounts intact and the traffic lights outside still working. “There seemed to be two camps at that time leading up to (Y2K) where half of the people were convinced that it was no big deal, and the other half were stockpiling supplies,” Thompson said. “Maybe not half, but my dad was part of a contingent that did. The idea was that we would survive if everything went to (expletive).” Leading up to Y2K, and as the oldest of five siblings, Thompson remembers being responsible for a large share of the work on the farm, including tending the sheep, building fences and tackling other grunt work. “I was the workhorse of the farm,” he said. “On a daily basis, in a huge way, I had to make sure the farm kept running.” While he explains that there is no nostalgia for days busting his hump at the age of 13, Thompson does admit to a sense of fulfillment through his efforts to take care of himself by himself as a 28-year-old adult. “It is really satisfying to know that I provided for myself or kept myself warm without paying some company to make sure that that got delivered to my house for me. So it’s a pride thing on one hand. Then, on the

other hand, on paper it’s just a really reasonable way of achieving what I want.” After splitting some logs just behind his place on a recent Monday, Thompson goes inside to put a cast iron kettle on a burner he has hooked up to a propane tank on the floor. A kerosene lamp nearby casts an orange glow around the room as he takes the kettle outside to start washing his dishes. His roommate, a cat named Bubba, meanders around the room and back out the front door. Hanging on the north wall is a two-month calendar he has written on parchment paper with a star around Feb. 22 making note of the date he planted his seeds for his partial hoop house attached on the south side. Although Thompson speaks fondly of his home, he acknowledges that five years down the road he would like to purchase 20 or so acres of his own and implement the various subsistence living systems that he is currently practicing and maybe add a few others, including solar panels. “I need a chunk of money as a sort of starter fund. I’d like to purchase my own property and to do this my own way from the ground up,” he said. “I know that I wouldn’t be ready to go do this on my own without any failsafes like being close to the farmhouse — building a big enough skill set that I’m confident in just going out there and taking the plunge.” — “Look” is a monthly feature by Journal-World photographer Nick Krug that looks in depth at topics of interest — particularly visual interest — in our community.

Researchers Find that Chocolate Has an Anti-Stress Effect

participants. However, people who had consumed the dark chocolate experienced a reduced stress response. Wirtz wrote that the dark chocolate reduced the adrenal gland’s “stress reactivity.” The dark chocolate contained 125 mg of an antioxidant ﬂavonoid known as epicatechin, while the placebo chocolate contained none.

Stressed by work or life at home? A new study has found that eating a tiny bit of dark chocolate can reduce both feelings and biochemical markers of stress.

Reference: Wirtz PH, von Kanel R, Meister RE, et al. Dark chocolate intake buﬀers stress reactivity in humans. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014: doi 10.1016/j.jacc.2014.02.580.

Petra H. Wirtz, PhD, and her colleagues at the University of Bern, Switzerland, recruited 65 healthy men, ages 20 to 50 years, for the study. The research was funded in part by the Swiss Cocoa and Chocolate Foundation.

Gluten-Free Diet May Prevent Type1 Diabetes

Thirty-one of the subjects received 50 grams (a little less than 2 ounces) of a 72-percent dark chocolate, while 34 subjects received the same amount of a look-a-like fake chocolate. The researchers took blood and saliva samples for later analysis, and two hours later the subjects underwent a psychosocial stress test. The test included a mock job interview and a mental arithmetic task in front of an audience. Another blood and saliva sample was taken one hour after the stress test.

Researchers at the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark, fed pregnant laboratory mice either a standard diet or a gluten-free diet. The mice continued to eat their respective diets during lactation. The gluten-free diet resulted in a signiﬁcantly lower incidence of type-1 diabetes and insulitis, the latter a prelude to diabetes. The gluten-free diet led to changes in the animals’ gut bacteria and a reduced inﬂammatory immune response. Hansen CHF. Diabetes, 2014: doi 10.2337/db13-1612.

Trump camp alleges delegate theft Joey Garrison and Dave Boucher

The (Nashville) Tennessean

Officials from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign are accusing Tennessee Republican Party officials of attempting to steal pro-Trump delegates to the national convention and stop them from being a part of Tennessee’s delegation. The move is part of a national Republican Party effort to stop the GOP front-runner from becoming the nominee, Trump campaign officials have alleged. On Wednesday, Ryan Hayes, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party, agreed on the names of seven of 14 at-large delNASHVILLE

egates that the state party is allowed to appoint under party rules, said Darren Morris, Tennessee director of Trump’s campaign. But several of those names are missing from a list he reviewed late last week, replaced with people not in the Trump camp. “They’re picking anti-Trump people,” Morris said. “They’re picking establishment picks who don’t support Donald Trump, and it’s just the same effort that they’re conducting all over the country to steal a vote here, steal a delegate there, to affect the outcome of the convention in July and take the nomination away from Donald Trump.”

Military suicides are disturbingly high for 7th year Increase is driven largely by Army data Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The Pentagon reported Friday that 265 active-duty servicemembers killed themselves last year, continuing a trend of unusually high suicide rates that have plagued the U.S. military for at least seven years. The numbers of suicides among troops was 145 in 2001 and began a steady increase until more than doubling to 321 in

2012, the worst year in recent history for servicemembers killing themselves. The suicide rate for the Army that year was nearly 30 suicides per 100,000 soldiers, well above the national rate of 12.5 per 100,000 for 2012. Military suicides dropped 20% the year after that and then held roughly steady at numbers significantly higher than during the early 2000s. The 265 suicides last year compares with 273 in 2014 and 254 in 2013. By contrast, from 2001 through 2007, suicides never exceeded 197. “Suicide prevention remains a top priority, and the Department will continue its efforts to reduce

deaths by suicide among its servicemembers,” said Marine Lt. Col. Hermes Gabrielle, a Pentagon spokeswoman. “Reducing suicide risk entails creating a climate that encourages servicemembers to seek help.” Among efforts by the military to combat suicide was a $5 million, long-term study by the Army that eventually produced algorithms for predicting what group of soldiers is most likely to commit suicide. The Department of Veterans Affairs has embraced the science and will soon launch a pilot program for helping its therapists concentrate efforts on those veterans with strong self-

destructive tendencies. The increase in suicide in the military was driven largely by the Army, where suicides rose sharply from 45 in 2001 to 165 in 2012. The Army reported 120 suicides last year, the same as in 2013 and down from 124 in 2014. Data out Friday also show that suicides among reservists in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and the National Guard were 210 last year — an increase from 170 suicides in 2014 but down from 220 suicides in 2013. U.S. troops have been at war since 2001 in Afghanistan and fought in the Iraq War from 2003 to 2011.

Tenn. GOP official: There was no deal v CONTINUED FROM 1B

A Tennessee party official disputes that allegation, accusing Trump’s camp of distorting the truth while noting Trump will still receive all delegates won in the state’s March 1 primary. “Instead of stirring up strife and grossly mischaracterizing the conversation that took place between Mr. Morris and Chairman Haynes, let’s set the record straight: There was never an agreement, especially after the Trump campaign spoke dismissively about the party process and one of our female members,” said Brent Leatherwood, executive director of the state Republican Party.

“The party chair is a puppet.” Darren Morris, Tennessee director of Donald Trump’s campaign

He did not specify who was insulted. Trump handily won Tennessee’s GOP primary with 39% of the vote. Candidates needed to meet a 20% threshold to earn a portion of the 41 elected delegates up for grabs, so the delegate slate that voters approved was divided among the top three, according to state GOP officials: uTrump: 33 uTed Cruz: 16 uMarco Rubio: 9 At issue are the 14 at-large delegates that the state Republican Party’s Executive Committee appoints. Though the state party selects those people, national convention rules say they should be allocated in proportion to primary results. The Republican National Committee selects an additional three delegates, making Tennessee’s total 58. “The party chair is a puppet,” Morris said. “He is doing the bidding of the party establishment to take the nomination away from Donald Trump.” Trump campaign officials told state party leaders whom they wanted for the seven at-large spots that they believe they’re entitled to, and those leaders reneged, Morris said. He alleges that their replacements don’t really support Trump. The state party will follow GOP bylaws, Leatherwood said.

Brussels Airport to reopen Sunday with tighter security Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Brussels Airport, which was shut down after a deadly attack March 22 by suicide bombers, was set to reopen Sunday with limited flights and tighter security, airport officials said. Airport CEO Arnaud Feist said Saturday that Brussels Airlines, Belgium’s leading carrier, will operate the first flights bound for

Faro in Portugal, Turin in Italy, and Athens. Feist said the country has just lived through “the darkest days in the history of aviation in Belgium.” “This restart, even partial, is a sign of hope,” he said. The airport had been closed since the attacks killed 16 people at the check-in area and another 16 in the Brussels subway. At least 270 people were injured. Two of the airport terrorists

died in the suicide assault. A third man, seen in surveillance video wearing a hat, fled after his bomb failed to go off and has been the object of an intense manhunt. A terrorist also died in the bombing at the metro stop in downtown Brussels. The reopening of the airport was slowed by the need for a thorough examination of the main structure because of the tremendous blast from the bombs. It was initially scheduled

to reopen Friday at about 20% capacity, but that was postponed because of a strike by airport police who demanded enhanced security measures. The dispute was resolved late Friday, the Belgian newspaper Le Soir reported. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines said Saturday it is suspending one of its two routes to Brussels. Its route from New York JFK will stay in place but its Atlanta route is suspended until March 2017.

Belgian police and soldiers block access to a closed hotel and restaurant Thursday in Courtrai, France, while investigating.

Belgian authorities charged a third suspect on Saturday with terrorist activities in connection with an apparently imminent terrorist plot in France that was foiled over a week ago, according to federal prosecutors. The 35-year-old suspect is identified only as Y.A. and was charged with participation in terrorist activities, the Belgian newspaper Le Soir reports. All three suspects in the case are allegedly linked to Reda Kriket, 34, who was arrested near Paris on March 24 after police allegedly found a cache of weapons and explosive at his home.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said at the time that “no specific target” had been identified but that the discovery of the large amount of arms indicated an imminent act of “extreme violence,” the French news agency AFP reported. Two other suspects, arrested March 25, were identified as Abderrahmane Ameroud, 38, and a man identified only as Rabah M., 34, both Algerian citizens, The New York Times reports. The Netherlands is also holding a French national, identified as Anis Bahri, 32, who was arrested in connection with the same alleged plot, and he is currently fighting his extradition to France, according to the AFP and the Times.

AMPUTEES AT THE PEAK OF LIVES v CONTINUED FROM 1B

route has a soaring final approach to the top that keeps climbers in the “death zone” more than 26,000 feet high for up to 24 hours or longer — where the human body can no longer acclimate and begins to decline. It will be Linville’s third attempt to climb the 29,029-foot mountain with a veterans organization called The Heroes Project. The former Marine attempted in 2014, but climbers were pulled off the mountain after an avalanche killed 16 Nepalese guides. Linville tried again last year, but the season was canceled after an earthquake struck Nepal, killing 8,000. In January 2011, Linville was a member of Marine bomb disposal unit working in Afghanistan when he stepped on a buried explosive. After a series of surgeries to deal with his damaged right leg, the limb was amputated below his knee in 2013. He and Jukes don’t know each other, though they wish each other well. But the circumstance of two separate efforts to put the first combat amputee at the top of Everest has raised criticisms. Tim Medvetz, who founded The Heroes Project in 2009 to help combat amputees by working with them to climb difficult mountains, says the group sponsoring Jukes’s climb, U.S. Expeditions & Explorations (USX), is trying to “steal Charlie’s thunder.” The co-founder of USX, Army 2nd Lt. Harold Earls, who said he came up with the idea independent of The Heroes Project efforts to climb Everest, denies this and says he hopes to link up with Medvetz and Linville during the climb.

Capt. Matt Hickey, USX CEO, from right, led the training expedition at Mount Rainier with climbing team members Chad Jukes, Harold Earls and Ping Medvigy. “There’s no point in having a group of veterans not working together,” Earls, 23, said from Cumming, Ga. He said the focus of the USX effort is to raise awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide in the Army. Suicides among active-duty military reached a record 321 deaths in 2012, including 165 in the Army. The numbers declined the next year, but increased in 2014. Active-duty military suicides for 2015 totaled 265, slightly lower than in 2014. The USX climbing party includes Earls and Army 1st Lt. Elyse Ping Medvigy. If they reach the top, they would be the first active-duty Army soldiers to climb Everest. “Since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to climb the Himalayas — that’s kind of the epitome of climbing,” said Ping

Medvigy, 26, of Sebastopol, Calif., a veteran mountaineer who served nine months in Afghanistan as an artillery officer. USX’s goal is similar to The Heroes Project. USX works to assemble small teams of veterans and active-duty troops to participate in adventure expeditions to foster teamwork and form lasting bonds that often flow from combat experiences, Earls said. The group has raised $178,000 toward the Everest climb. Earls, Jukes and Ping Medvigy will make the ascent with a guide, three sherpas and climber/filmmaker David Ohlson, who will shoot a documentary. The expedition begins Thursday and the team hopes to reach the summit the week before Memorial Day. Mevetz has climbed Everest twice, reaching the summit in

“When it comes to high altitude, its kind of the purity of the sport. It’s just you and the mountain.” Ping Medvigy, who will be promoted to captain while on Everest

2007. His organization has led combat amputees to climb the highest summits on all seven continents with the exception of Everest in Asia. More than 4,000 people have climbed the mountain and more than 280 have died trying. About two-thirds of the attempts are

made from the Nepalese south side. The north face is considered more treacherous. Ping Medvigy, who will be promoted to captain while on Everest, says she has a passion for climbing and has conquered Kilimanjaro plus the tallest peak in South America, the 22,841-foot Aconcagua in Argentina. “When it comes to high altitude, its kind of the purity of the sport. It’s just you and the mountain,” she said. The highest peak Earls has climbed is Mount Rainier in Washington state at 14,416 feet. Jukes is rated 80% disabled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In December 2006, he was a truck commander on the lead vehicle of a convoy in Iraq when twin anti-tank mines detonated. The blast didn’t rupture the under-carriage of his truck, but the concussion shattered his right heel and broke his right femur. After an operation to repair his foot, Jukes was infected with the superbug bacteria MRSA that went undiagnosed. By the time a civilian doctor identified it after Jukes was back home in Colorado to recover, much of the heel bone had been destroyed. He chose amputation because the alternative of a reconstructed heel with a cadaver bone likely would result in chronic pain, Jukes said. Jukes said a big concern on Everest will be the risk of frostbite to his stump, where there is reduced blood flow. This could complicate his dream to reach the summit, he said. “The most important thing for me,” Jukes said, “is coming home with the same number of limbs that I left with.”

Do insurers game system by cutting agent fees? Moves restrict what health care plans consumers might purchase Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

Insurers increasingly are dropping agents’ commissions to discourage the sale of the Affordable Care Act plans they’re losing the most money on, especially when the consumers are more likely to be sick, according to health care industry officials and experts. The moves by nearly every major insurer over the past few months are often focused on times of the year and plans that attract the sickest people and starting to prompt action by state officials and legislators. Some, including the head of California’s state insurance exchange, say federal regulators should help assure consumers get the help and plans they need, especially during special enrollment periods when they lose jobs, move or have babies. Some insurers, including Anthem and Humana, say they dropped commissions to keep rates down. Humana spokesman Mark Mathis said the insurer believes agents are “an important source of information and guidance,” but it sometimes makes “changes in order to maintain sustainable and affordable health plans for our members.” Others say insurers are cutting commissions to save money by reducing the number of sick people who enroll. “Many states are looking at doing whatever they can do to support agents in their states and not allow health plans to game their commissions so they enroll only healthy people,” Peter Lee, executive director of the Covered California exchange, said in an interview. “It flies in the face of the ACA ... to say in code to agents, ‘Don’t bring us sick people,’ or to make it harder for some to enroll.” People who lose their jobs are most likely to quickly sign up for insurance if they’re sick, says Lar-

ry Levitt, senior vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation. Insurance agents now enroll about half of those who buy insurance on the government exchanges. Low-income people, who tend to have more health problems, need to buy their plans on the government websites to get federal subsidies and often need the most help. Aetna, United Healthcare and Cigna have all complained they’re losing money on ACA plans and enrollment drops off sharply as subsidies fall. A study out Tuesday by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association found the costs of medical care for those newly enrolled in ACA plans were 19% higher in 2014 and 22% higher in 2015 than those who were insured through employer plans by BCBS companies those years. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) called the report “seriously flawed,” in large part because those with serious health problems trying to

Donald Trump has enjoyed many successful weeks during the 2016 campaign — last week was not one of them. Top news from the week in politics as the presidential race heads to Wisconsin:

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

Corey Lewandowski charged with battery of reporter.

A WEEK OF TRIALS FOR TRUMP Donald Trump still holds a commanding lead in delegates, but it is clear that his path to the Republican nomination in the final weeks of primaries will be anything but smooth. Last Tuesday, his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with battery over a March incident with reporter Michelle Fields. The Jupiter (Fla.) Police Department asserted that Lewandowski grabbed Fields’ arm, pulling her back as she tried to ask Trump a question, as Fields claims. Trump aggressively defended Lewandowski on Twitter, and raised eyebrows with comments to reporters in which he questioned whether Fields’ bruises were from the incident and why she didn’t scream. The next day, Trump drew fire suggesting that women who have abortions should face punishment if the practice is banned. He backtracked soon after, saying in a statement that only the doctor or person performing the abortion “would be held legally responsible, not the woman.” As Wisconsin’s Tuesday primary nears, Trump finds himself trailing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who

buy individual insurance could be discriminated against because of their conditions before the ACA took effect. Insurance was supposed to be easier to buy, Lee and Levitt say, so it was assumed agents would not be needed to buy ACA plans. The opposite happened, however, as fewer states than expected created exchanges, the federal HealthCare.gov site had massive problems, and Republicans in Congress kept the federal government from hiring more “navigators” to help people use the site and health insurance system to buy policies, says Levitt. Despite improvements with the exchanges, many consumers still need help, says Lee, who acknowledges he was wrong to think the exchanges would “make buying insurance as easy as buying a book on Amazon.” The process is especially confusing for those eligible for subsidies.

sions, has found that 80% of consumers are eligible for subsidies but only 40% know that upfront, spokesman Andy Hetzel says. “If insurance agents are not paid, the consumer loses because they have to travel down this road alone without an expert,” agrees Ronnell Nolan, CEO of Health Agents for America. Some insurers, including Humana, have dropped commissions on different types of plans in different states, especially gold and platinum plans, which Levitt says attract people with the most health problems because of their low deductibles. While Humana dropped commissions on these plans after open enrollment ends, others including United Healthcare nearly eliminated them altogether for 2016 plans for individuals and families. Aetna recently eliminated commissions on all new individual plans with effective dates between March 31 and Dec. 31. Katherine Hempstead, director of the insurance coverage team at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, says dropping commissions should be seen as a “cry for help” by insurers as it shows they are “signaling that in the current market there are some products that they really don’t want to sell.” Insurers have criticized the federal government for allowing customers to abuse the special periods by signing up for insurance when they needed health care and then dropping insurance after the crises had passed. CMS recently limited the circumstances that allow people to sign up for the special enrollment periods. A bill recently passed the Georgia House that would require insurers there to pay agents a minimum commission, but it failed to make it through the Senate. Under the ACA, insurers have to spend 85% of premiums on medical care, leaving 15% for overhead, including commissions. Insurers started reducing the size of commissions soon after the law passed. Pennsylvania state Rep. Frank Farry, a Republican, is researching whether to introduce legislation requiring insurers to pay commissions, but worries that requiring them to spend a portion of the 15% on commissions could “put them in a pinch.”

OBAMA CRITICIZES TRUMP FOREIGN POLICY STANCES

SANDERS CONTINUES TO RAKE IN THE CASH Delegate math may not be on Bernie Sanders’ side right now, but his donors haven’t gone anywhere. The Vermont senator hauled in $44 million in March, his campaign announced last week, bringing his total for the first quarter to $109 million, more than 97% of which was raised online, campaign officials said. Sanders has been on a roll in recent contests, winning five of the past six. Still, he faces a formidable challenge in cutting into Clinton’s delegate advantage and will need strong finishes in Wisconsin and in contests later this month.

President Obama said Friday that Donald Trump doesn’t understand foreign policy or the world in general, and U.S. allies are increasingly concerned about the Republican front-runner’s loose rhetoric about nuclear weapons. “People pay attention to American elections,” Obama said at a news conference following the biannual Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, adding that the topic of Trump surfaced on the sidelines of those meetings. “What we do is really important to the rest of the world.” Trump has said the United States is spending too much on defense assistance to a host of nations, from NATO allies in Europe to Japan and South Korea in Asia. The New York business mogul said these nations should spend more on their own defense, including the development of nuclear weapons if necessary. The candidate making these statements “doesn’t know much about foreign policy or nuclear policy or the Korean peninsula, or the world generally,” Obama said. — David Jackson

The Facebook page “Periods for Pence” has received more than 11,500 “likes” since it was posted three days ago. By Saturday, a Twitter page was up and running. The measure, signed into law last week by Pence, makes Indiana only the second state to prohibit a woman from seeking an abortion because her fetus was diagnosed with a disability such as Down syndrome. It also prohibits abortions based on the gender or race of a fetus and requires the remains of miscarried or aborted fetuses to be interred or cremated.

Kenyan university rampage still haunts A year after militants massacred 148, fearful survivors don’t trust security measures Tonny Onyulo for USA TODAY

NAIROBI, Kenya — Annita Musyoka, a student who survived the Garissa University attack by militants a year ago, still hears the sound of gunshots ringing in her ears. Although she now studies far from her former school in eastern Kenya, the massacre still haunts her. “It was a terrifying moment,” said Musyoka, 22. “All my roommates were killed by the militants. There were sounds of guns all over. I was the only person in my room who survived the attack after hiding inside a suitcase.” Musyoka, like many of the other surviviors, now attends Moi University in Eldoret in western Kenya. Even though Garissa reopened in January, most nonMuslim students opted to leave: The killers targeted Christians in their assault.

“I live in fear of attack. I want to finish my studies and get out of this place.” Annita Musyoka, Kenyan university student

One year after the Islamic militant group al-Shabab mounted one of the most deadly terror attacks ever to happen here, this East African country is still combating extremism and dealing with the aftershocks — while preparing for the next attack. After al-Shabab killed 148 students and staff at Garissa on April 2, 2015, many students opted to move out of the region. At the same time, Garissa is building a stronger perimeter wall to safeguard the campus in the future. And they hold drills — staging mock terrorist attacks — to ensure preparedness. These drills are controversial, and sometimes, they backfire — rather than following directions, students often run amok.

high windows, while a stampede of students crushed one student. “When this happens, most students think it’s a real attack,” said Joshua Wekesa, a student at Nairobi’s Strathmore University, who was injured during a mock terror drill. “Most of them are terrified.” That’s because the al-Qaedalinked group continues to launch fatal attacks along the Somali border and the northern part of Kenya’s coastline before retreating into hideouts in the Boni forest, a remote area known for its elephants. The cumulative effect of recent deaths on the coast, the Garissa massacre and the 2013 Westgate Mall attack that killed 67 has severely undermined people’s confidence in the Kenyan government, said Peter Wafula Wekesa, a political scientist at Kenyatta University. “It made Kenyans aware of the folly of the security apparatuses in the country, which are inept, inefficient and reactionary,” Wekesa said. “At the very least, Kenyans are now more alive to the fact that they are on their own on

from becoming terrorists. “We are committed to fighting terrorism by ensuring that all students in universities are not radicalized by these terror groups,” Hassan said. “We are offering lessons to help them reject any attempt to be radicalized.”

Still, in spite of the drills, beefed-up security and de-radicalization programs, Musyoka says she fears that another attack could happen at her new school. “When I hear a bang or an explosion within the school compound, I panic,” Musyoka said. “My heart begins to pound. I live in fear of attack. I want to finish my studies and get out of this place.” At Garissa, students and staff were honoring the victims of the attacks with a series of events Saturday, including interfaith prayer sessions. “We want to remember our students who perished during the attack,” said Garissa University Principal Ahmed Warfa. “This was the lowest moment of my life. The incident will remain deep in our hearts as teachers for as long as we live because we lost our beloved, innocent students.”

India’s auto rickshaws nearing dead end

Competitors racing to replace popular, risky 3-wheelers Jason Overdorf for USA TODAY

NEW DELHI — They’re one of the most recognizable icons of modern India. The auto rickshaw, a sputtering, motorized three-wheeler that’s less than half the cost of a regular taxi, is the backbone of city transit for millions in India. With the vehicle’s soft top, open sides and lack of seat belts, passengers rely on little more than good karma to keep them safe from crazed drivers on India’s congested roads. Despite a top speed of only 30 mph, auto rickshaws accounted for 6,300 of the 140,000 traffic fatalities in 2014 in the country. It’s one reason the industry is in tumult. Sensing a market poised for a revolution, a host of corporations are vying to replace the rattling workhorse with the next generation of cheap taxis to ferry 1.2 billion people around India’s cities. The bare-knuckle competition over the future of India’s taxicabs has bred legal conflicts. The first mover in the race to replace the rickshaw, India’s Bajaj Auto, has been locked in a fouryear battle over whether the company’s four-wheeled buggy is safer than the three-wheeler. Unveiled in 2012, Bajaj Auto’s vehicle, a quadricycle called the Qute that already is exported to 16 markets from Egypt to Mexico, offers a fully enclosed steel cab, a fuel-injected engine, seat belts for passengers and head and taillights that are much brighter than those in current rickshaws. “We’re the world leader in small, three-wheeler taxis — we’re making a lot of money in that segment,” said S. Ravikumar, Bajaj Auto’s president of business development and assurance who,

Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj introduced the RE60, now called the Qute, in 2012. It has yet to hit the streets. like many Indians, uses only an initial rather than a first name. “We wanted to upgrade (those taxis) and create a much better product that will serve the same purpose.” Bajaj Auto’s competitors, including automaker Tata Motors, voiced safety concerns about the quadricycle. The government

drafted new regulations for fourwheelers that delayed approval of the new category of lightweight vehicles until February 2014. Auto rickshaw drivers’ associations and others then filed an Indian form of class action called “public interest litigation” that challenged that approval, keeping the Qute off the roads again.

“No crash test has been attempted here in India,” said former Indian solicitor general Gopal Subramanium, who is representing the plaintiffs. “The information we have from Europe with regard to a crash test is abysmal. This is the reason why quadricycles are not used as a vehicle for transport in any European countries.” Unlike class action lawsuits in the United States, any concerned citizen can file public interest litigation in India. In theory, courts are supposed to dismiss suits filed solely for financial or political gain. But dismissing the litigation can take years. As Bajaj Auto’s court case dragged on, Tata unveiled its own low-cost rickshaw replacement, the four-wheeled Magic Iris, which it began pitching to state

governments last year. Tata also reportedly is developing its own quadricycle, the Bravo. Other makers of electric threewheelers have gathered steam in the Indian auto-rickshaw market. Japan’s Terra Motors recently said it will have 30,000 electric rickshaws on India’s streets by the end of the year, and that companies from China already are selling electric rickshaws in India without regulatory approvals, Chief Executive Toru Tokushige said in a news release. The Indian automobile and farm equipment conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra was reported to have a quadricycle in the works that would hit the market next year. U.S.-based all-terrain vehicle maker Polaris Industries and Italy’s Piaggio, which sells quadricycles in Europe and is the biggest player in India’s three-wheeler segment after Bajaj, also are looking at the Indian market. “We appreciate that some of our competitors are getting their products ready,” said Ravikumar, lamenting the inefficiencies of the Indian courts. “Our hands are tied. This is the legal system.” Richshaw driver Jeevan Mishra, 50, is concerned about rivals because he could lose his investment. He said drivers take out loans and sink their life savings into their three-wheelers and licenses, which run about four times the cost of the vehicle itself. “Already, we’re getting fewer and fewer customers because there are too many rickshaws,” Mishra said. American tourist Joyce Kim, 37, said she would be sad if auto rickshaws disappeared from India’s streets, but she understood why perhaps they should go. “Riding an auto rickshaw is like jumping on an older carnival ride — terrifying for some, but fun for me,” she said. “But rickshaws are not why tourists come to Delhi, nor are they the city’s only charm.”

USA TODAY was curious about what it takes to operate airports, which are often referred to as “cities within cities.” According to a recent economic impact study conducted for Airports Council InternationalNorth America, about 1.2 million people work at 485 commercial airports in the United States. Some employees work directly for an airport operator. Others are employed by concessionaires, government agencies and entities doing business at airports. For example, 63,000 people work at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, making the world’s busiest airport the largest employer in Georgia. That count includes airline, ground transportation, concessionaire, security, federal government, city and airport tenant employees. On duty are two art department coordinators, a full-time wildlife biologist, engineers for the airport’s Plane Train and Sky Train and a mobile medical response team that includes EMTs who jump on bicycles to cut down on the time it takes to respond to a medical emergency. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport boasts its own police, fire protection and emergency medical units and a daily workforce of over 60,000 people. At Los Angeles International Airport, the Badging Office has issued badges for 50,000 airport workers, reports LAX public relations director Nancy Castles.

“These workers are distributed over three work shifts, since we’re a 24/7 operation,” said Castles, and that count doesn’t include workers for the courtesy vehicles for airport-area hotels, rental car companies and private parking lots; nor the drivers of public transportation such as taxis, door-to-door shuttle vans, long-distance buses, etc. “which would be a few thousand more.” While LAX airport police decline to share a specific number, the airport claims to have the highest number of working police canines — dogs that handle explosive-detection and crime — at any U.S. airport. “This number

does not include federal law-enforcement canines belonging to Customs & Border Protection, U.S. Agriculture’s ‘beagle brigade’ and TSA,” said Castles. Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport’s active badge count tops 41,000, which includes chaplains, doctors, massage specialists, wine bar pianists and cobblers. San Antonio International Airport has about 5,000 vetted and badged employees, said airport spokeswoman Evelynn Bailey. Included in that count are employees who make sure the airport’s 1,000 fire extinguishers are “present, accounted for and

maintained,” and a highly organized employee who issues and keeps track of the keys for the 4,000 doors on airport property. The 3,986 badged employees at Austin Bergstrom International Airport include an art coordinator, a music coordinator for the airport’s 21 weekly live concerts, the meat cutter at the post-security Salt Lick BBQ (who must work with a knife TSA requires be chained to the counter) and, soon, trainers at the airport’s pet hotel, scheduled to open this fall. Long Beach Airport in California has 100 employees who work in the maintenance, operations, administration, noise and environmental and security departments. On duty are painters who make sure that the terminals look nice for passengers and that the airport’s 12 miles of runway lines are clear and visible for pilots. Ninety-nine employees work full or part time at Indiana’s Fort Wayne International Airport, including Customer Service Agents tasked with such jobs as driving the courtesy parking-lot shuttle and helping passengers using wheelchairs on and off planes. Multitasking is not unusual for workers at small airports. At Lancaster Airport in Pennsylvania, a general-aviation airport with three weekly commercial flights on Sun Air Express to Pittsburgh and two to Dallas/Fort Worth, there are 23 airport employees. “Of those 23, eight are maintenance staff” who “are crosstrained for ARFF — aircraft, rescue and firefighting — duties,” said airport director David Eberly. “If there is an emergency, it will be our maintenance staff responding in the firetruck.” Baskas is a Seattle-based airports and aviation writer and USA TODAY Travel’s “At the Airport“ columnist.

11 companies squeeze out even more from workers Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

You may not be able to squeeze blood from a turnip, but companies are looking to do more with less in terms of employees. Eleven companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 saw the amount of revenue generated per employee rise at least 25% last year, according to an analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Increased productivity has been a missing link in this economic recovery. Companies continue to add jobs, shown by the Labor Department’s report Friday that showed 215,000 new jobs in March. But driving worker output has been a frustrating disappointment. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was asked in a testimony last week why productivity growth has been a disappointing 0.5% for the past five years. “It’s a source of huge concern,” Yellen said. Some strategies: uBig successes. Driving new forms of business without adding lots of employees is a secret to boosting productivity. That was the classic case at drugmaker Ver-

tex. The company started generating revenue last year from the cystic fibrosis drug Orkambi after approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Last year, revenue from Orkambi hit $350.7 million, up from nothing in 2014, which is a big reason why its overall revenue soared 78% to more than $1 billion. The company’s full-time employee roster rose just 7% to 1,950, resulting in revenue per employee up 67%. uBusiness shifts. Some companies refocus using spinoffs and divestitures. EBay, for instance, spun off its online payments unit PayPal (PYPL) last year, which allowed it to reduce its headcount by 64% to 11,600 fulltime workers. Since eBay spun off the unit in the middle of 2015, its 2015 revenue dropped just 2% to $8.6 billion. As a result, the company saw its revenue per employee jump nearly 180%. Certainly, much of that increase is due to timing, given the company’s 12month revenue contains revenue from PayPal for much of the year but the year-end employee count does not. “The spinoff accounts for the difference in efficiency,” says Colin Sebastian, research analyst at R.W. Baird. But he adds

that the company is reducing its headcount as it tries to take advantage of a natural leverage in the technology business where a relatively small base of employees can generate growth.

MICK STEPHENSON VIA WIKIPEDIA

uJob cuts. A more draconian way to drive more revenue per employee is to reduce the number of employees faster than revenue falls off. Nine of the 11 companies with the biggest increases in reve-

nue per employee saw reductions in their total staff. Diamond Offshore Drilling’s revenue fell 14% in 2015 as the price of oil plunged. But the company still boosted revenue per employee by 32% as Diamond cut its headcount by a third to 3,400 workers. It’s been a similar story at Yahoo, which saw the amount of revenue per employee jump 29%. But Yahoo’s top line rose just 8% last year. The improvement was due to a nearly 17% drop in fulltime employees to 10,400. Some investors think even more job cuts are needed to get the company’s profit margins headed in the right direction, says Ron Josey, analyst at JMP Securities. He points out that Yahoo’s adjusted revenue, which excludes revenue acquired from partners, continues to fall. Adjusted profit margins are also falling. That, to most investors, is the true indicator of efficiency at Yahoo, he says. The increase in revenue per employee at Yahoo, “is not because the company is more efficient,” Josey says. Investors and policymakers, too, are banking on productivity gains. For now, investors count on getting more from less as a common theme companies pursue.

RETIREMENT

WAYS TO TELL WHETHER YOU ARE FINANCIALLY READY FOR RETIREMENT

Do you have enough money to retire? That’s not an easy question to answer, but there are some ways to tell if you’re on track. Experts like to use the following methods to determine if you have enough to fund your desired lifestyle. ing retirement income of $40,000, $14,120 of it would come from Social Security and the rest, $25,880, would have to come from savings and other sources. That means a person would need a nest egg of about $1 million, using a withdrawal rate of under 3%, to make up the gap.

THE 1CRUNCH NUMBERS.

Map your projected income — from personal assets, income, pensions and Social Security — against projected expenses. This is perhaps the most accurate way to determine if you’re ready. But it will require more than a weekend of number crunching. What’s involved? On the income side, it means calculating how much you’ll receive from Social Security (and pensions if any); how much you can safely withdraw from investment accounts earmarked for retirement (assume 2% to 4% per year); and how much you might earn from working during retirement. On the expense side, it means calculating how much you’ll spend on essentials, such as housing, health care, food and transportation, and how much you’ll need for hobbies, trips, gifts, etc. This method, though timeconsuming, is best for those 10 years or less from retirement.

AN INCOME2USE REPLACEMENT RATIO.

Determine what percentage of your current salary you’d need to generate in retirement to live comfortably. Generally, advisers say you’ll need to replace 80% of your pre-retirement income. So, for instance, households with gross incomes of $50,000 might need $40,000 in retirement. Part of this exercise requires figuring out what portion of your income will come from which sources in retirement. In 2012, the average retiree had a household income of $51,000, and Social Security accounted for 35.3% of that amount. The rest came from other sources, such as savings. So in our example of a household need-

Benjamin Cummings, an assistant professor at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.

DIVIDE HOW MUCH 3 YOU’VE SAVED FOR RETIREMENT BY YOUR CURRENT SALARY.

To be ready, Fidelity Investments suggests having 10 times your salary saved at retirement, eight times your salary saved by age 60, six times by age 50, three times by 40, and one time by 30.

AN ONLINE 4USE CALCULATOR.

Jim Otar, developer of the Otar Retirement Calculator in Thornhill, Canada.

Fidelity created a tool that lets you determine how ready you are. Answering six questions at https://communications.fidelity .com/pi/2015/retirement/ gives you a retirement score to show you how on track you are. Other groups, such as Ballpark E$timate and AARP, have calculators as well.

Before using any online calculator, experts suggest considering the following: Many calculators will give you a ballpark answer, but not necessarily the correct answer. That might be fine if you’re more than 10 years away from retirement, but less so if you’re not. If you’re close to retirement, there may be no substitute for using actual income and expense numbers to determine your readiness, says Chuck Yanikoski, owner of Still River Retirement Planning Software. “I say that even though I am a strong believer that for people who are more than, say, 10 years from retirement, simple tools are the most appropriate, precisely because it’s not possible in most cases to make financial forecasts about individual retirement 15, 20 or 40 years ahead of time,” he says.

BEFORE YOU PANIC So, what might you do if you’re not ready?

BUMP UP YOUR SAVINGS RATE.

As a general guideline, try to save 15% or more of your income, including any employer match you may have, Fidelity says. If you’re below that target, try increasing the amount you save by 1 percentage point per year. Before you can raise savings, however, you likely have to cut spending. “First, you need to cut spending on unnecessary ‘stuff.’ Only after that can you raise savings,” says Jim Otar, developer of the Otar Retirement Calculator in Thornhill, Canada. “The income pie is not unlimited. You have to cut a smaller slice elsewhere before recommending a larger slice for savings.”

RETIRE LATER.

Retiring later gives you more time to build your savings and decreases the amount of time spent withdrawing, says Benjamin Cummings, an assistant professor at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. “I think the encouragement to consider retiring later is a message we should continue hearing,” Cummings says. Others agree. “This can have a large positive impact, much larger than any asset allocation optimization,” Otar says.

GET HELP.

Online tools can be helpful, but they’re no substitute for a professional opinion. “(A professional adviser) can provide additional knowledge and perspective that many individuals simply don’t have, and that can be very hard to replicate in an online tool,” Cummings says.

Boomer investors’ best bet may be themselves

Health care offers healthy growth as generation reshapes America Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

Identifying the best investment opportunities is easy in hindsight. After all, even a novice investor can understand now why there was so much potential in Walmart way back in the 1990s, or Apple in the early 2000s. Picking investments that have a bright future now, however, is a much harder task. But while there are no sure things on Wall Street, the good news is that there are signs all around us pointing to potential investment opportunities — particularly in regard to America’s growing population of Baby Boomers who are at or near retirement. “The Boomers as a generation were the single-most important economic force of the past 70 years,” says Charles Sizemore, chief investment officer of Sizemore Capital Management in Dallas. “Their birth brought with it the great suburbanization of America; their working years brought the biggest boom in U.S. history; and their aging and retirement now presents us with unprecedented challenges.” Indeed, the numbers are stag-

gering. There were 44.7 million Americans older than 65 in 2013, and they made up 14.1% of the total population. By 2040, their numbers will almost double to 81.2 million Americans over 65, making up 20% of the population. As this powerful demographic shift reshapes America’s society and economy, “fantastic investment opportunities” will be created, Sizemore says. KEY OPPORTUNITIES

One of the biggest potential investment opportunities related to the aging Baby Boomer population is health care, says Dan Wiener, chief executive of money management firm Adviser Investments. “The Baby Boomers are the first generation that is not going to go softly into the night of their retirement,” Wiener says. “They

BY THE NUMBERS Every eight seconds a Baby Boomer turns 50. Here are some other Boomer facts and figures. Baby Boomers have more discretionary income than any other age. Boomers control most of the net worth of American households and account for 40% of total consumer demand. By 2017, 50% of the U.S. population will be 50+.

are going to continue running and skiing and biking and dancing well into their 80s, and as such their demands on the health care system will be huge — from drugs to devices to the care itself. The industry is poised on a big jump in growth as the Boomers age.” Sizemore agrees, but he cautions that it’s hard to know which companies will have the treatments that work and which ones will fall behind. To him, the biggest opportunity in health care is in medical real estate — namely, the companies that operate nursing homes or take rent from doctors’ offices. This focus is a “safer and more predictable investment in the Boomers,” given that real estate investment trusts and other similar operations have predictable cash flow and the long-term potential to deliver consistent income via dividends. CREATURES OF HABIT

Another interesting opportunity is to consider which retailers hold the most power with the Baby Boomer generation, because many of their shopping habits are unlikely to change dramatically now that they have had decades getting comfortable with their routines and favorite brands. Louis Navellier, chairman and founder of Navellier Associates in Reno, says many of his firm’s clients are interested in investing in companies such as grocery store chain Kroger, discounter Costco and Home Depot precisely be-

cause of their personal shopping tastes. “I think Boomers like to buy companies that they shop at and utilize,” Navellier says. And if they continue to feel good about the brand, both as shoppers and as investors, this could provide positive results over the long term.

“The Baby Boomers are the first generation that is not going to go softly into the night of their retirement.” Dan Wiener, chief executive of money management firm Adviser Investments

Of course, it’s worth noting that things can and do change on Wall Street — even for these opportunities that seem to be inevitable success stories. That means staying diversified, as well as thinking about investments like these as only part of a broader retirement strategy, Sizemore says. “Even with good demographic tailwinds, a company can hit bumps in the road, of course,” he says. “So just as you would with any stock in your portfolio, make sure you keep your positions at a prudent size.” Jeff Reeves is executive editor of InvestorPlace.com.

Diallo projected to go 26 in draft By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ESPN’s Chad Ford has released his latest 2016 NBA Mock Draft, in which six of the top 10 picks are college freshmen. A seventh is 18-year-old Dragen Bender of Croatia. Ford’s current top 10: Ben Simmons, LSU freshman; Brandon Ingram, Duke freshman; Bender; Jamal Murray, Kentucky freshman; Henry Ellenson, Marquette freshman; Buddy Hield, OklaDiallo homa senior; Kris Dunn, Providence junior; Jaylen Brown, Cal freshman; Chriss Marquese, Washington freshman; and Jacob Poeltl, Utah sophomore. The first Kansas University player in Ford’s mock draft is freshman Cheick Diallo, projected to be tapped No. 26 in the first round. “Diallo didn’t really do much at Kansas this year, but that won’t stop a team like the (Toronto) Raptors from grabbing him,” Ford writes at the web address http://es.pn/1qof9N9 “He is tough and athletic, and he might have the best motor in the draft. He’s very, very raw. But had he stayed in school another year, he probably would have been a lottery pick. That makes him good value here.” The 6-foot-9 Diallo has yet to hire an agent, which lends the possibility of Diallo returning to school. That’s unlikely. He was expected to be a one-and-done from day one at KU. “If he stays in the draft, he’s likely in the No. 20 to No. 35 range. However, he could dramatically improve his stock with another season or two at Kansas,” Ford writes. Draftexpress.com’s Jonathan Givony, who has Diallo as the sixth pick in the second round of the 2016 Draft, cited Diallo’s 7-4 wingspan and 9-1 standing reach as positives, his play on defense a negative at this time. “He lacks experience in a serious way and does not possess great fundamentals or awareness at this stage. Diallo plays off his instincts quite a bit as well, being susceptible to biting on fakes, rotating wildly for blocks, and fouling at a very high rate (7.8 times per-40 minutes). It will take him some time to learn the concepts of NBA half-court defenses, and adding strength will also be a major priority in the long term, as he has a tendency to get pushed around with his lack of bulk,” Givony writes.

Villanova overwhelms Sooners, 95-51 Houston (ap) — Villanova had a night to remember on both ends of the court. Buddy Hield had a night to forget. The Wildcats, setting a record for margin of victory in a Final Four semifinal, held Hield to his second-lowest

output of the season, nine points, in a 95-51 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night. “That was just one of those nights,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. “I feel bad for Oklahoma.” He can feel good for his Wildcats (34-5) as they ad-

vanced to Monday night’s national championship game against North Carolina. Josh Hart scored 23 points, and his 10-of-12 shooting performance was part of Villanova’s 71.4 percent (35 of 49) effort. Villanova missed just five shots in the second half.

The margin topped the 34-point Final Four wins by Cincinnati over Oregon State in 1962 and Michigan State over Penn in 1979. The Wildcats now have four wins in the tournament Please see VILLANOVA, page 4C

NORTH CAROLINA’S BRICE JOHNSON, RIGHT, GOES UP for a shot against Tyler Roberson of Syracuse. The Tar Heels won the NCAA semifinal, 83-66, on Saturday night in Houston.

Houston (ap) — North Carolina’s latest step on the way to a title was shaping up as strictly an inside job. Out of nowhere, Marcus Paige figured out how to hit from three-point land, and the Tar Heels put an end to any hopes of another Syracuse comeback. Using layups, floaters and putbacks — then, finally, three very timely threes from Paige — the Tar Heels outmuscled Syracuse, 83-66, on Saturday to move a win away from the program’s sixth national title. Paige finished with 13 points, and Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson led North Car-

olina (33-6) with 16 apiece, as the Tar Heels, the lone No. 1 seed in the Final Four, beat Jim Boeheim’s 10th-seeded Orange for the third time this season and advanced to Monday’s title game against Villanova. Earlier, the Wildcats made 11 of 18 shots from behind the three-point line in a 95-51 win over Oklahoma, to debunk the theory that nobody could shoot in Houston’s cavernous stadium.

KU punting game to see changes, DeForest forecasts By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

First-year Kansas University special-teams coordinator Joe DeForest may not yet have learned anything concrete about what head coach David Beaty likes to call the hidden third of his football team, but there is one thing about which DeForest already is certain. Senior Matthew Wyman will not be the Jayhawks’ punter in 2016.

“No. He’s not gonna do that,” said DeForest on Wednesday during his first meeting with the local media since arriving at Kansas. “You can’t. It’s too much wear and tear on a leg, and you start losing yardage as the year goes on because you’re leg-weary. And it’s not fair to him because he’s not a punter.” During a season in which he was pressed into emergency duty because of KU’s inconsistencies at the posi-

tion, Wyman, a bona fide weapon on kickoffs and long-range threat as a place kicker, filled in admirably. Booming punts for the first time in his life, Wyman averaged 41.5 yards per kick in 53 tries, downed 10 inside the 20 and topped 50 yards seven times. However, most of those kicks were the result of pure will and lacked true technique, another aspect that DeForest said would make it difficult to envision Wyman

handling all three duties again in 2016. “The punt game was (lacking) because you didn’t have one,” said DeForest when asked if he watched KU’s 2015 film. “And that’s no knock on anybody, it’s just you asked a kid to do it that had never done it. And that’s not fair to him.” Because of that, identifyRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo ing a punter ranks near or at the top of DeForest’s list KANSAS UNIVERSITY SPECIAL-TEAMS coordinator Joe DeForest encourages his players during Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C practice Tuesday.

D’backs defeat Royals to end spring AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

Phoenix (ap) — Chris Owings, in his first full game playing center field in professional baseball, hit a three-run homer to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Saturday. The 24-year-old Owings has been an infielder throughout his career but was pressed into service in center field with A.J. Pollock out for the long term after breaking his right elbow in Friday’s game. Owings could start in center on opening day Monday if manager Chip Hale prefers the matchup against Colorado Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa. “If we feel like Chris can do it, he’ll probably be the guy out there,” Hale said. Hale could also go with 23-year-old Socrates Brito in center. Brito, who played in 18 games in the majors last season and was the organization’s minor-league player of the year in 2015, figures to get more of the playing time in the outfield over the course of 2016. “He’s ready for this. We know that he can handle playing every day,” Hale said of Brito. “He’ll be in every game, let’s put it that way. Whether it’s starting or coming in for defense or pinch hitting late in a game.” Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray pitched 41⁄3 innings in his last start before the regular season. The Royals fielded a lineup of mostly minor leaguers.

Salt Lake holds off Sporting Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Justen Glad scored his first MLS goal, Luke Mulholland added another, and Real Salt Lake beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Saturday night. RSL went up 1-0 in the 29th minute when Glad sprinted past the back line on Joao Plata’s free kick and headed it in. Glad was a hometown signee in 2014. Mulholland made it 2-0 in the 79th minute. After two failed clearances and a giveaway on a RSL corner kick, Mulholland bent in a long-range shot. RSL (2-0-2) improved to 2-65 all-time at Sporting KC — snapping a seven-game winless streak at KC. Since 2010, the road team in this rivalry has won just two games in 13 meetings. RSL had several other quality chances. Yura Movsisyan was left open in front of goal in the 38th minute but Tim Melia came out of his box to deflect it. Movsisyan cut back a defender in the 57th minute and sent a close-range shot off the crossbar. Diego Rubio was tripped up at the edge of the penalty box and Benny Feilhaber converted the penalty kick for Kansas City (3-1-0) in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time.

JAMIE LOVEMARK HITS HIS SECOND SHOT FROM A FAIRWAY BUNKER on the 18th hole during the third round of the Houston Open on Saturday in Humble, Texas.

Herman, Lovemark seek first PGA wins at Houston Humble, texas — Jim Herman and Jamie Lovemark, two players who have never won a PGA Tour event or played in the Masters, shared the lead entering the final round of the Houston Open. A win today and they get to tee off at Augusta National next week. The 38-year-old Herman shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to position himself for a breakthrough. “There’s a lot to play for tomorrow,” said the pro from Cincinnati, whose best finish this season has been a 10th-place tie. “I had a couple of good par saves, especially on the last hole. I’m committed to going to the first tee (today) and hitting that first fairway. I’ve got to ty to not put any extra pressure on myself.” Lovemark, 28 and a former NCAA champion at USC whose professional career was derailed by major back surgery, wasn’t able to build on his fast start, which saw him birdie three of the first four holes. He stayed in the hunt with a 70 after opening rounds of 67 and 68. “My confidence is good,” Lovemark said. “I’ve got to keep doing what I’ve been doing. It’s going to be a tough battle tomorrow. It’ll be a shootout.” Herman and Lovemark were at 11 under par through 54 holes and just a stroke ahead of Henrik Stenson, Dustin Johnson and Russell Hensley. The Swede Stenson, No. 7 in the current world ranking, posted the day’s best round with a 66 after also birdieing three of the first four holes. Henley had a 68 Saturday and Johnson a 70. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot 1-under 71 to get to 3-under for the tournament. He is tied for 29th.

Griffin returns to Clippers

Miami Open

noon ESPN2 34, 234

Los Angeles — Blake Griffin returns to the Los Angeles Clippers today after a threemonth absence caused by hand and quadriceps injuries. “I’m not going to come back playing like I did 20 games in,” said Griffin, who hurt his hand punching the team’s assistant equipment manager and was suspended four games. “The biggest thing is not to force anything early.” Coach Doc Rivers said Griffin will likely start against the Washington Wizards at Staples Center. It will be the first of seven games for Griffin before the playoffs. Griffin practiced last weekend for the first time since December and said after practice Saturday he will need to be patient in re-establishing his power game. He hasn’t played since Christmas Day, when he partially tore a left quadriceps tendon. Griffin was averaging 23.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists at the time. Rivers said it’s unknown how many minutes Griffin can play after not being able to run and maintain his conditioning. Another issue is how much pain will be caused by playing. “You just got to be careful,’” he said. “You don’t want to throw a guy out there and him get injured because you’re overplaying him.’” The Clippers had a 30-15 record during his absence, which was extended after Griffin broke his hand and was suspended by the team for punching Matias Testi in January in Toronto. “This past week was especially tough having to sit for four games,” Griffin said. “I’m just ready to get back out there and ready to feel good again and feel the leg out.”

Royals-Mets opener unique Series rematch Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The two teams and their respective starting pitchers that wrapped up last season will usher in the new one when the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets meet tonight at Kauffman Stadium. The only difference will be the location. Oh, and the stakes. There is no championship on the line, as there was in Game 5 of the World Series last fall at Citi Field. Rather the

season opener for both teams, shifted to prime time to accommodate an ESPN audience, will serve as the curtain-raiser on the Royals’ defense of their first title since 1985. It’s the first openingday rematch of a World Series in major-league history. “It’s impossible to simulate World Series atmospheres,” Mets third baseman David Wright said, “but with them getting their rings and raising the banner and things

like that, I think it would give a little bit of motivation. But I also think they deserved it. They outplayed us during the World Series, no question.” The Royals return most of the same team that not only won last year’s Fall Classic but reached Game 7 against the San Francisco Giants the previous year. If not for the virtuoso effort of Madison Bumgarner, the AL Central champions could be trying for a three-peat.

Of course, winning another can’t happen without first getting to the playoffs. Royals manager Ned Yost was part of 12 division champions with Bobby Cox in Atlanta, yet the Braves only managed to win one World Series. That shows just how difficult the journey is to October. “It’s extremely difficult to maintain that, and just to get there,” Yost said. “Our focus in spring training was getting off

Ranking the winners: ESPN this week ranked every NCAA championship team Nos. 1 through 77. UCLA’s 1970 squad, which went 30-0 with just two games decided by single digits, was deemed best title squad of all time. Coach John Wooden’s Bruins topped three other undefeated squads — Bob Knight’s 1976 Indiana Hoosiers (32-0), Wooden’s 1973 Bruins (30-0) and Phil Woolpert’s 1956 San Francisco Dons (29-0), who were led by Bill Russell. Bill Self’s 2008 KU team, which went 37-3, was ranked No. 27 alltime. Phog Allen’s 1952 squad (28-3) checked in at No. 55, and Larry Brown’s 1988 squad (2711) was rated 64th. l

More on Whitt: Arkansas freshman Jimmy Whitt, a 6-4 combo guard who averaged 30.6 ppg as a senior at Columbia, Mo.’s Hickman High, is free to transfer to any school not in the SEC, his dad, Jim, told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. “From Jimmy’s perspective, he’s going to look around and see where he can find a fit that suits him,” Jim Whitt told the Democrat Gazette. Whitt averaged 6.1 points off 38.7 percent shooting (79.2 from line) while logging 17.2 minutes a game in 32 games his rookie year at Arkansas. In high school, he chose Arkansas over Kansas State, Illinois, SMU, Marquette, Cal and others.

1986. They also lost to the Yankees in the 2000 Series. “It will be a good test for us, especially on the road,” Wright said, “and provide a little motivation when we see those winners’ rings that they’re getting.” The ring ceremony is actually scheduled for Game 2 on Tuesday. All the Mets will have to bear with tonight is watching the Royals raise their second championship banner.

Hoops He added: “Diallo will now need to fight his way back into the first round through the predraft process to make up for the time and ground he lost at Kansas, but appears more than capable of doing so with what he brings to the table still as a prospect.” Draftexpress.com lists KU’s Wayne Selden Jr. as the 11th pick and Perry Ellis the 29th pick of Round Two. NBAdraft.net lists Diallo as 26th pick of Round One, Selden the 11th pick and Ellis the 24th pick of Round Two. Of KU junior Selden, Chad Ford writes: “Selden put together the best year of his three-year career at Kansas, but it still hasn’t been enough to get him firmly back into the first round. He was more aggressive as a scorer this season, and improved his jump shot significantly over the course of the past three years. When he gets going, he can be a force offensively. But his inconsistency likely keeps him somewhere in the second round.”

to a good start, and at the end of the year, having an opportunity to fight our way back. Because it is, it’s a fight. Everyone starts the year with those aspirations and dreams of making it to a World Series, but it’s very difficult to do.” The Mets no doubt have similar aspirations. When they send Matt Harvey to the mound against the Royals’ Edinson Volquez tonight, they will do so still searching for their first title since

LAWRENCE HIGH SECOND BASEMAN ANDREW STEWART FIELDS A GROUNDER in the Lions’ 5-4 loss to Blue Valley North on Saturday at LHS.

Mistake-prone Lions fall to BV North, 5-4 By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Held to only three hits against Blue Valley North on Saturday, Lawrence High’s baseball team didn’t have any room for mistakes. The Lions did their best to make the most of their limited offense, but a couple of errors and walks were costly in a 5-4 loss at LHS. In the fifth inning, the Lions lost their one-run lead through a pair of throwing errors. The inning started with a leadoff walk issued to BV North’s David Accurso and became more trouble when Jaxson Dubinsky reached on an error during a sacrifice bunt. After a wild pitch put runners on second and third, the Lions committed a two-base throwing error on a ground ball, trying to throw out Dubinsky going to third. Instead of the game tied with an out on the ground ball, the Mustangs took a 5-4 lead when the throw went into the BV North dugout. “Between walks and just not taking care of the baseball, that’s what cost us,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. The Lions (1-4) had their best opportunity to tie the score in the sixth inning when senior Brad Kincaid drew a leadoff

walk. He moved to second on a passed ball and would’ve advanced to third on a fly out to center field, but was called out when one of the umpires ruled he did not tag up on the catch. Stoll was ejected when arguing the call between innings. “You’re trying to scratch and scratch to get a run across, so I thought we had a little momentum coming our way,” Stoll said. “Obviously, it just didn’t work in our favor.” The Lions had to fight back from the start when BV North senior Cooper Marks hit a three-run home run over the rightfield wall in the top of the first inning. In the bottom half of the first, after LHS senior Daonte Lowery hit a leadoff infield single, sophomore clean-up hitter Devin Lauts crushed a fastball for a two-out, two-run homer. It was the first career home run for the 6-foot-1, 200-pound first baseman, which carried with the wind and curved around the right-field foul pole. “I knew it had the length, but I didn’t know if it was going to be in between the poles or not,” said Lauts, who stopped running when he initially thought the ball went foul. “It barely got it.” Stoll added: “He’s been swinging the bat — all year — real well. We

track hard contacts pretty closely, and he’s at the top of the board on that. He squared a couple of balls up the other night that got caught, so it was nice to see him get rewarded for that.” After the first inning, the Lions had only one hit, a single by junior Jacob Unruh in the fifth inning. But they plated two runs across in the third inning when the Mustangs paid for their own error. Lowery drew a walk, and sophomore second baseman Andrew Stewart, who made several highlight-reel stops in the field, reached on error. Lowery scored on a ground out by Kincaid, and Stewart scored on a wild pitch for a 4-3 lead. Kincaid, the fearless LHS closer, kept the Lions within a run, escaping a one-out jam with runners on second and third in the sixth inning. In the seventh, the Mustangs loaded the bases with one out, and Kincaid struck out the next two batters. “We gave them too many free chances,” Stoll said. “It just bit us in the back side and that’s unfortunate.” The Lions will travel Tuesday to Olathe South.

15) and Oklahoma State (2001-11), said he thought KU had options in the return game but needed to nail down some of the specialist roles. “That’s a point of emphasis,” he said. “We’ve gotta find guys that kick and snap and hold and punt. That’s the biggest thing we’ve gotta work on. “It’s like any other posi-

tion,” he said. “If a guy can play quarterback, he can play quarterback. All I’m trying to do is teach ’em technique on how to drop the ball punting and footwork on field goals and stuff like that. It’s gonna be a process. I understand that. But we’ve had a good start so far and let’s just see where it ends up.” In addition to Wyman,

junior Nick Bartolotta and freshman newcomer Quinton Conaway will compete for the place-kicking role. Conaway and red-shirt freshman Michael Valentine will vie for punting duties. John Wirtel is the only long snapper on the current roster, and Valentine and receiver Austin Moses have handled holding throughout spring.

Dallas — A year after losing the individual medal in a playoff, Kansas University senior golfer Yupaporn Kawinpakorn left no doubt at the DAC/ SMU Invitational. Kawinpakorn handily beat the 84-golfer field by five strokes on Saturday and set the school record with a 54-hole Kawinpakorn total of 210. She held the old record of 211 (6-under par), set during the 2014 Big 12 Championships. “Mook (Kawinpakorn) fought hard today to get another win. We are so proud of her,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said. “The (Dallas Athletic Club) sets up well for Mook, and she feels very comfortable on the greens. Getting a win here is a great confidenceboost going into the end of our spring season.” It was Kawinpakorn’s fifth career individual title. She trails only seven-time winner Holly Reynolds for most in program history. As a team, KU tied for seventh with 908 (44over). Oklahoma State won the team title with 868. Kansas’ Pornvipa Sakdee tied for 35th at 229; Ariadna Fonseca Diaz tied for 52nd at 232; Victoria Chandra tied for 68th at 238; and Laine Evans was 84th with 257. KU will play April 8-9 at the Texas Tech Invitational.

Reid pitches KU past Oklahoma Norman, Okla. — Kansas University freshman right-hander Alexis Reid pitched six scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the seventh, and the Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma, 5-2, in Big 12 softball Saturday. Reid (1-5) allowed nine hits and walked two. “She had a great day today,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “She had a rough start to her freshman year, which isn’t unusual for a freshman. She’s taken a step back and re-evaluated things, working harder, and is learning how to become a college pitcher. Man, she took advantage of an opportunity today. I am impressed with her poise, her fight, her grit and just excited for her.” Senior outfielder Shannon McGinley drove in four of KU’s five runs with a pair of doubles. The Jayhawks (20-12, 1-1 Big 12) and Sooners (25-7, 1-1) will conclude the series at noon today.

some of the top distance runners in the collegiate ranks, Lokedi, a native of Eldoret, Kenya, placed 14th in the 10,000 in 33:10.06, bettering the 37-year-old school record by 1:17. Later Friday, Kansas senior Evan Landes took fourth in the men’s 10,000 in 28:58.43, just seven seconds off the school record. Earlier Friday at the San Francisco Distance Carnival, KU’s Dylan Hodgson (8:59.63) and Ben Burchstead (9:01.75) placed fourth and sixth in the men’s 3,000 steeplechase, and Chris Melgares was sixth in the 10K at 29:56.76. KU’s Kelli McKenna placed fourth in 10:23.28 and Courtney Coppinger ninth in 10:31.72 in the women’s 3,000 steeplechase.

Kansas baseball falls to Baylor Waco, Texas. — Sophomore left-hander Blake Weiman allowed only two runs over 61⁄3 innings, but it wasn’t enough as Kansas University fell to Baylor, 2-1, in Big 12 baseball Saturday. Weiman (1-2) allowed eight hits and walked two. “It was a well-pitched game on both sides,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “However, I thought the defense was sloppy on both sides. There were balls that should have been double-play balls that were dropped. It is not often you look at the scoreboard and see a 2-1 game and feel like both teams played poor defensively.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Final Four standards a bit lacking By Tim Cowlishaw Dallas Morning News

Larry Brown said he was over it. He said he was just sitting back and enjoying the NCAA Tournament. Then he went on a familiar (but under these circumstances, quite reasonable) rant about the NCAA punishment that kept SMU out of March Madness this spring. Is this a column about feeling sorry for SMU? Hell, no. Brown lied to investigators, caught himself, changed his story and admitted to wrongdoing. And when you’re a serial offender like Larry Brown, the NCAA is going to lay down the law. But that’s only part of the story. Saturday’s late game in the Final Four at Houston had Syracuse playing North Carolina. Where have we heard

these schools mentioned lately? Didn’t Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim serve the same nine-game penalty for violations this season that Brown served? And hasn’t North Carolina been under investigation for academic fraud going back two decades for at least a couple of years now? How did those teams not only get invited to the tournament but thrive while SMU, which probably would have been a 4 or 5 seed had it been eligible, got left behind? “I don’t want to harp on North Carolina or Syracuse,” Brown said on The Afternoon Show on KESN-FM (103.3). “From my own point of view, they have the new rule — coach’s responsibility. I understand that. The coaches should accept the punishment. The kids had nothing to do with it.

ginia. And Boeheim has been able to play the lovable (not easy for him) underdog in Houston this week. And he was doing it against a Carolina team that, according to reports, invented classes, giving athletes including basketball players back into the Dean Smith era passing grades for nonexistent classes. Compare that to the Keith Frazier situation, and SMU’s violation really was a drop in the bucket. But at small schools, there is always the sense that the NCAA shies away from punishing the powerful state schools. In this case, the NCAA simply dragging its feet in the investigation allowed Roy Williams’ team to make a run at another title before the hammer falls. Brown’s a North Carolina alum, so he wasn’t

of at least 19 points, the only close game a fivepoint win over overall No. 1 seed Kansas in the Elite Eight. Villanova dominated the Sooners (29-8) after an opening seven minutes that had the teams trading the lead almost every possession. The Wildcats broke it open with a 21-4 run. The stats about NRG Stadium being a horrible place to shoot went out the window along with the Sooners’ chances at playing for their first title. “I definitely think it helped,” Wright said of practicing shooting in the dome. “‘We’re going to be good,’ we keep telling them, and I think they believed that.” The Wildcats, with Hart going 7-for-8, shot 66.7 percent in the first half, including 6-of-11 from three-point range in taking a 42-28 halftime lead. “I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but when you have guys like (teammates) you can go off any night,” Hart said. “When they’re aggressive, it helps me. The driving lanes, able to get a couple of shots to fall, when that happens, able to kick out and get some guys some shots.” As the Wildcats, who won it all in 1985 with the shocking upset of Georgetown, kept making shots, Hield kept missing.

range, reversed that onegame trend. They bricked up three after three, going 0-for-10 in the first half and barely drawing iron on some of them. Paige opened the second half with North Carolina’s 11th straight miss, and for the next 10 minutes, the Tar Heels basically ignored the three-point line. Only when Trevor Cooney and Malachi Richardson triggered a 10-0 Syracuse run to trim a 17-point deficit to seven did Carolina start thinking long range again. Paige made three threes, and Theo Pinson hit another to stifle the rally and make Carolina almost respectable from the three-point line: 4-for-17 for the game. “We had a brain lapse there for about three minutes in the second

about to go off on the Tar Heels. He just wants the NCAA to punish the guilty. “If they found I was complicit in the Frazier situation or anything else, punish the head coach. If the school is complicit, punish the school. If a player is involved, punish the player,” Brown said. “Not one of our players (Frazier has transferred to North Texas) really had anything to do with what happened, and they got punished. We were 25-5, and all five games we lost were conference games. We had a chance to win every one of them. I was in awe of them every night.” But 25-5 stayed home while 19-13 sneaked into the bracket and found its way to the Final Four. Sometimes life isn’t about being fair. Sometimes it’s just all about timing.

Kennedy Meeks finished with 15 points and eight rebounds, including a paddy-cake putback after batting a second offensive rebound to himself off glass. That gave the Heels a 67-53 lead. Before Paige found his range, Carolina built its lead on the inside, with big-time help from an in-your-face defense that held Syracuse’s leading scorer Michael Gbinije to 12 points on 5-for-18 shooting. “We didn’t have to play perfect, but we had to shoot better tonight,” Boeheim said.

The Tar Heels won the NCAA semifinal, 83-66, on Saturday night in Houston. three-point shot was invented, when the way to really beat a zone — and Boeheim’s 2-3 is the best in the game — was to make blink-of-an-eye passes in and around the paint and crash the offensive glass to take advantage of a defense that doesn’t put bodies on bodies when the ball goes up.

That plan still works. Early in the second half, Jackson made a jump pass from the corner to the lane, where Paige was waiting and batted the ball with an open hand over to Meeks, who dunked. A bit later, Joel Berry got an easy offensive rebound and a layup to put the Tar Heels ahead by 17.

North Carolina finished with 16 secondchance points on 16 offensive boards. Even more telling were points in the paint: Tar Heels 50, Orange 32. Syracuse trailed by 16 in its crazy comeback victory over Virginia last week to make it here. But there was no full-court press that could beat the Heels, and no meltdown awaiting from them either. Cooney led the Orange (23-14), the first No. 10 seed to make it to the Final Four, with 22 points. Richardson had 17, but after his three trimmed the deficit to seven with 9:48 left, Syracuse couldn’t pull closer. “I’m more proud of this team than ... of any team I’ve coached,” Boeheim said. Namely, it was Boeheim’s nine-game suspension in the wake of NCAA troubles that made the early season a soap opera.

When it comes to illness, including ear, nose & throat issues, we know that your child is not just a “miniadult.” Kids often display different symptoms than grownup patients, and they definitely have their own language of complaints. It’s our job to be sensitive to that—and to be sensitive to the parents’ needs and worries as well. It’s just how we do things here.

MELINDA NICHOLS AND DAN HEINZ REHEARSE A SCENE FROM THEATRE LAWRENCE’S UPCOMING PRODUCTION OF “A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE” Thursday at the theater, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. The show opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

REKINDLING ‘DESIRE’ Theatre Lawrence revisits an American classic

By Joanna Hlavacek lll

ost people familiar with “A Streetcar Named Desire,” says Piet Knetsch, are only familiar with just that — the name of the play itself, and not much else. Not much else, he says, beyond the now-famous scene in the 1951 film adaptation in which Marlon Brando, playing the brutish, broken Stanley Kowalski, yells out his wife’s name (“Stella!”) in a desperate plea for her forgiveness. “That’s the association. That’s mostly what people remember. And very few people have seen the play,”

If you go “A Streetcar Named Desire” opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. More shows are scheduled for Saturday and April 14-16 at 7:30 p.m., and for April 10 and April 17 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets start at $23.99 for adults and can be purchased at theatrelawrence.com or at the box office. says Knetsch, who until recently counted himself among those yet to see the Tennessee Williams classic performed on stage. After studying the famed playwright’s works in graduate school and a lifetime in the theatre — one that included

(The iconic scene in the film is) the association. That’s mostly what people remember. And very few people have seen the play.” — Piet Knetsch, director of the Theatre Lawrence production

productions of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “The Glass Menagerie,” he notes — Knetsch now finds himself at the helm of arguably William’s greatest play. Directing Theatre Lawrence’s version (curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Friday) has given the 70-something theater veteran a new perspective on “A Streetcar Named Desire,” particularly of its antagonist first portrayed on Broadway and on film by Brando.

“Those are things that I find intriguing and difficult but also wonderful to work on, so that we can try to understand these people and portray them in a positive light, even though they do terrible things in the end,” Knetsch says of his “humanizing” role as director. “I too would have just seen, in my memory of Stanley Kowalski, that he’s just a crude rapist and abuser, but he’s not only that.”

Set in New Orleans’ French Quarter, the play (its name is taken from the now-defunct Desire Line of the city’s streetcar system) juggles issues (sexual violence, mental illness, loneliness even whilst living in an increasingly smaller world) every bit as relevant today as they were in 1947, when it premiered to instant critical and commercial success. “A Streetcar Named Desire” refers to the route taken by aging Southern belle Blanche DuBois (Melinda Nichols) upon arriving in New Orleans to live with her sister, Stella (Laura Rose Clawson), and troubled brother-in-law, played by Christoph Cording.

Registration open for 2016 Girls Rock! camp Staff Reports

Girls Rock! Lawrence has opened registration for its 2016 summer camp, which will be June 6-10 at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive, in partnership with KJHK 90.7 FM. The second annual day camp, which aims to empower girls and transgender youths through music and creative expression, welcomes campers ages 12-

18 who identify as female, transgender and gender nonconforming. No musical experience is required, and financial aid is available. Guided by mentors and peers, campers will spend the week learning how to play an instrument, forming a band, writing a song and, at the end of camp, performing live in a showcase. Workshops will include songwriting, band promotion, recording, selfdefense and media literacy. Those interested in the

camp are welcome to attend a Girls Rock! information session at 4 p.m. April 10 in the Lawrence Public Library auditorium, 707 Vermont St. The session will also include a screening of documentary footage from the 2015 camp, as well as volunteer Q&A and sign-up.

Blanche’s stay in the cramped Kowalski household takes its toll on her mental health and her sister’s already shaky marriage, but, having lost her family home to creditors and her husband to suicide, she has nowhere else to go. Stanley, as we soon find out, is not an ideal husband. He’s passionate, yes, but his unbridled passion leads to violence when he strikes Stella in a drunken rage. His relationship with Blanche is strained from the start (she finds him loud and boorish, while he does not care for her manners and resents her presence) and ends, tragically, in sexual assault. “Blanche describes him in animalistic terms, and that’s not inaccurate,” says Knetsch. But Stanley is so beloved, by his poker buddies and co-workers and, troublingly, his wife that we can’t help but wonder why. He’s also, Knetsch points out, a veteran. The audiences of 1947 were not far removed from memories of WWII, which had ended two years earlier. Though only briefly mentioned, Stanley’s veteran status (he served as a master sergeant in the Engineers’ Corps at Salerno) lends insight into his anger and frustration with an America that would have seemed so unfamiliar and confusing to soldiers returning to civilian life. As Knetsch puts it, “He saw the evil and death in war, and he survived it.” There’s a good chance he may have brought some of it home with him, too.

Like Williams’ other works, “A Streetcar Named Desire” brims with autobiographical elements. The sensitive and dreamy Blanche’s struggles with mental illness mirror that of Rose, Williams’ sister who, after being diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age, underwent a lobotomy that left her institutionalized for the rest of her life. Williams never forgave himself for allowing the operation, Knetsch says. In addition to his alcoholism and drug addiction, the playwright also suffered from frequent bouts of deJohn Young/Journal-World Photo pression, and harbored MELINDA NICHOLS AND CHRISTOPH CORDING REHEARSE A SCENE from Theatre Lawrence’s a fear that he one day upcoming production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” on Thursday. would slip into insanity like his sister.

He was 71. Maybe suffering is, indeed part of the human condition, Ramberg says. But “Streetcar,” at the very least, “makes you question it and makes look at it, and too often we don’t.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld.com and 832-6388.

Students living with grandma sick of complaints Dear Annie: My younger sister and I are young adults currently living with our grandparents to ease the commute to school and work. We spent most of our elementary and middle school years at our grandparents’ house after school, over the summer or when we were sick. Our mother works near their house as well, and she stops by every couple of weeks to check up on them. The problem is Grandma’s outlook. We try our best, but she always finds something wrong with us. If we clean the bathroom, we didn’t do it right. We either don’t eat her food or we eat too much of it. She has become less pleasant to be around and we don’t know how to tell her that her yelling and complaints are

the reason. Our grandfather prefers to stay out of Grandma’s way when she berates us, unless he thinks we are being disrespectful and talking back. What’s the most hurtful is that she blames our mistakes on Mother, saying that it is her poor parenting that has resulted in the electric bill going up $20 and the dryer breaking. We love our grandmother, but she has become so difficult. I

Morgan Freeman finds ‘God’ He’s played the big roles and asked the big questions. Now he hosts “The Story of God With Morgan Freeman” (8 p.m., National Geographic, TV-14). “God” will air over the next three Sundays, sending Freeman, who portrayed the Big Guy in “Bruce Almighty,” to holy sites and shrines the world over to converse with scholars and robed clerics about the nature of death and return; the notion of an Apocalypse and the creation stories of various faiths. As a National Geographic special, this makes for a very nice travelogue. But the series’ emphasis on the ecumenical also leaves one with the feeling you’re watching “Around the World in 80 Generalities.” For all of its seeming weightiness, “The Story of God” has all the heft of an inoffensive coffeetable book. Freeman’s similarly mind-bending Science Channel series, “Through the Wormhole,” offers a more focused and substantive approach than this wide-eyed odyssey. It may seem silly to accuse a globespanning series of being “all over the place,” but that about sums it up. O Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley host the “51st Academy of Country Music Awards” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG). Performers include Miranda Lambert, the six-time reigning ACM Female Vocalist of the Year. She’ll sing with both Keith Urban and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons. The many presenters include Betty Cantrell, better known as the current Miss America. The next Miss America pageant (no. 96!) will air on ABC, live from Atlantic City on Sept. 11. O Inspired by FX’s “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” the Esquire Network will go back to the future and devote 12 hours to “The Real O.J. Simpson Trial” (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.). If you think 12 hours is a bit much, remember that obsessive coverage of the trial lasted nearly a year, from Nov. 9, 1994, until the announcement of the verdict on Oct. 3, 1995. Live coverage of the trial put the Court TV network on the map. It has since become TruTV, better known now for comedy-themed reality programming. Tonight’s other highlights

O The period medical melo-

drama “Call the Midwife” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-14 check local listings) enters its fifth season. O New neighbors receive a mysterious package on “The Carmichael Show” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14). O Hannah and Alex collaborate on “Quantico” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14). O Harry doubles his pleasure on “Mr. Selfridge” on “Masterpiece Classic” (9 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings).

cannot remember the last time she praised us or asked about our day. My sister avoids her by staying out of the house, which results in complaints from Grandma that she’s never home. I’m tired of this. I don’t want to come across as an ungrateful grandchild, so how do I get the negativity to stop? — Teary-Eyed and Frustrated Dear Teary: First of all, please consider the burden you are placing on Grandma. She loves you and wants to help you. But you also require effort and money, both of which may be more complicated today than when you were younger. She, too, is stuck, but her way of expressing that conflict is to complain a lot. It is not uncommon for some folks to focus

on the negative without realizing how they come across, and this can get worse with age. We assume you are doing your part to clean up after yourselves and help with meals, laundry and housework. So sit down with Grandma when it’s quiet and chores are done. Tell her sweetly that you love her and don’t mean to make her life difficult, but the constant complaints are wearing you down and she surely doesn’t intend to be so unpleasant. Ask how you can make her day easier. If she still complains, turn a deaf ear, and when it becomes possible, find a place of your own.

SHELF LIFE

MIGHTY MICROBES A lively lesson on your body’s little helpers

s I wait for signs that winter is in fact waning and that it’s time to dig my hands in the dirt, pruning fruit trees is one of my favorite activities. While I thin and train branches, I ponder recent discoveries of tree health: how soil bacteria and fungi spread and exchange nutrients, how to encourage them, and how they even spread all the way up and around the outside surfaces of trees. Michael Phillips’ “The Holistic Orchard” has much more on this. But now that spring has arrived, it’s time for veggies. A few years ago we moved our garden to a new spot, and since then have added loads of mulch and compost to try to get the soil life thriving — only to see the amendments disappear. Where does it all go? There’s been a noticeable increase in the populations of earthworms, beetles and bugs and yet… Well, I just unearthed the newest book by David Montgomery, co-authored by Anne Bikle. Montgomery is a geologist who I heard speak a few years ago about his previous book, “Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations.” In his new one, “The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health,” he relates similar newgarden experiences and asks the same question. The answer, in a word, is microbes. “The Hidden Half of Nature” is an enjoyable read, not at all too

scientific, and Montgomery is a dexterous writer who’s not afraid of incorporating some real-life experiences and subtle word play to keep it lively. I really enjoyed this book, which continually surprised me by calling to mind old connections. His book “Dirt” could have been lifted from the sustainable agriculture curriculum I once studied. Some of the same ideas and actors reappear as he lays the groundwork at the start of his new book. The subsequent discussions of microbehuman interactions in “The Hidden Half of Nature” brought to mind Rob Dunn’s book “The Wild Life of Our Bodies,” which I reviewed a few years ago. But reading it took me much further back, to when I attended a big-deal conference on biodiversity that took place before most had even heard the term “biodiversity.” James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis of “Gaia”

fame were there, and Margulis in particular plays a role in Montgomery’s new book. It was she who suggested that the cells we are made of started as the symbiotic union of different kinds of bacteria. I wasn’t the only one in the crowd who was fascinated by this notion — many scientists were, too, and not a few were skeptical. In the years since she has been proven right. Montgomery does an admirable job of fleshing out the history of our knowledge of microbes that led to Margulis’s insights, from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and his rudimentary microscopes to Louis Pasteur, Alexander Fleming and Jonas Salk. Pasteur’s advances shone a new light on bacteria, but Montgomery points out that after Fleming’s and Salk’s successes (discovering penicillin and developing the polio vaccine, respectively), research tended to “isolate and destroy particular pathogenic microbes” with anti-bacterial drugs and

vaccinations, rather than strive to understand the processes of the vast microbial world. Just as with the natural history of larger flora and fauna, description preceded ecological study. It took some time for us to realize, as Montgomery says, “I am not who I thought I was. And neither are you. We are all a collection of ecosystems for other creatures.” Montgomery then moves to scientist Selman Waksman’s study of the collections of ecosystems in soil and considers industrial agriculture and the widespread use of pesticides. From there it’s a quick jump down the gullet and into the human microbiome, studies of which have exploded in just the last few years. The parallels are many — Montgomery talks of the “inner soil” of our guts affecting nutrient uptake, for example, how adding fiber to our diet is like adding organic matter to our gardens, and how antibiotics can, like herbicides in the soil, act against us in unpredictable ways. Grab “The Hidden Half of Nature” and dig the latest dirt on the microbes that live within you and the earth. Dig your hands in the diverse ecosystems of your garden, and recalling Margulis’ point that your cells are symbiotic microbes, embrace some personal rewilding. — Jake Vail is an information services assistant at Lawrence Public Library.

BOOK REVIEWS

‘Dimestore’ captures Appalachia’s charms By Laurie Hertzel Associated Press

Lee Smith’s parents raised her to leave the Appalachian town of Grundy, Va., where they “were closed in entirely, cut off from the outside world by our ring of mountains.” They taught her proper grammar, sent her to school with delicate lunches instead of the cornbread and buttermilk she wanted, packed her off every summer to Birmingham, Ala., for “lady lessons.” None of this really worked. Smith adored her hometown and all of its trappings — the steep mountains, the old-

timey music, the lyrical cadences and vocabulary of its warmhearted inhabitants — and she went on to memorialize it in novel after novel. Smith has written 17 novels and story collections, and while she is loved in the South, her books deserve a wider national audience. “Dimestore: A Writer’s Life,” her first book of nonfiction, is not a particularly lighthearted book — she writes about the deep strains of mental illness that run through her family; her own divorce; the death of her son; her father’s sudden death the day he closed his five and dime; how, after that, Grundy

“turned into a ghost town.” But it is a profoundly readable one. Like her novels, Smith’s memoir is intimate, as though writer and reader are sitting together on a front-porch swing. She writes in the rich vernacular of her youth: Her father’s bipolar illness is called “kindly nervous”; as a child, Smith played “hidey-go-seek”; the mountain valleys and

hollows are “hollers.” Even as a girl, Smith wanted to be a writer, but it wasn’t until she heard Eudora Welty read at Hollins College and then discovered the work of James Still that she found her voice. “Suddenly, lots of the things of my own life occurred to me for the first time as stories: my great-granddaddy’s ‘other family’ in West Virginia;

Hardware Breeding, who married his wife, Beulah, four times; … John Hardin’s hanging in the courthouse square.” “Dimestore” is not crafted as a straight narrative but is, instead, a series of discrete autobiographical essays, which gives the book a jerky momentum, briefly confusing; I had to get acclimated to time and place with each chapter. But that’s a minor quibble. Smith’s details are so piercingly remembered that I felt wrapped in a great blanket of familiarity. Her memoir is a warm, poignant read about a lost time and place, a love of books and a celebration of the quirks and oddities of home.

Colorful worlds collide in ‘A Gathering of Shadows’ By Cindy Bagwell Associated Press

Plot descriptions of nonfantasy novels usually start with the protagonist. Then you add the milieu. Then layer on the character’s inner struggle, and you’re off and running. In works of fantasy and science fiction, the physical and/or social setting often takes center stage, becoming as much a character as the hero(ine). In V.E. Schwab’s “A Gathering of Shadows,” there’s not just one world — the action spans at least three. The setting is an intriguing one: Four worlds, linked by magic, coexist. Each world has a city called London that’s geographically the same. Only a few people can travel between the worlds.

Reading the first book in this series, “A Darker Shade of Magic,” is not absolutely essential to understanding the second, but your enjoyment of it will be much deeper. The message here is that the key to magic is balance (like Spider-Man’s “With great p o w e r c o m e s great responsibility”). O n e world (Black London’s) ignored that rule. Its citizens used magic with abandon until it devoured them and threatened the other worlds. Red London is home to

our hero Kell. It’s a world rich in (but respectful of) magic. Grey London, which is set in the Regency period of our London, has mostly forgotten its magic. And White London, abandoned by the Red and used as a shield against Black London, is, as a result, clinging to life by whatever means possible. Schwab’s portrayal of Red London’s leaders could not be a clearer mirror of spoiled America. While Grey London trudges along with only the memory of magic that used to be theirs, and White Londoners fight for the remaining caches of mag-

ic, Red’s biggest threat is that they might be … inconvenienced. Or uncomfortable. “Gathering”’s action picks up a few months after the conclusion of “Darker.” Kell may be the only natural-born magician, or Antari, left in all the worlds after an epic showdown in that first book. Lila Bard, the wily pickpocket he brought home with him from Grey London (in “Darker”), has run away and joined a band of pirates. While at sea, Lila trains in magic with the pirate chief, Alucard. She learns more about her new home and Kell’s place in it. A magical Olympics reunites Lila and Kell in Red London. Power, desire and vengeance connect in a cliffhanger ending. Schwab’s signing of these books as V.E. in-

stead of Victoria seems to signal that they’re geared toward adults, as opposed to the young-adult audience she has written for in the past. Maybe it’s the youth of most of the main characters, or the gottasave-the-world(s) imperative, but this book seems like a fine fit for fans of the “Hunger Games” series.
