Both sides rest cases in murder trial Jurors to begin deliberating today

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Jurors heard from a police detective and a medical examiner Thursday as the prosecution rested its case in the jury trial of Joshaua Back, who is accused of second-degree murder. Back’s defense also rested its

case without calling a witness, and without Back testifying. Back, 34, of Oskaloosa, faces both felony second-degree murder and theft charges. His trial began Monday. In the early morning hours

of May 25, 2015, police say Back stabbed 45-year-old Tracy Dean Lautenschlager in the neck outside a home at 700 Arkansas St. and fled in a stolen truck. Please see TRIAL, page 2A

Legislators rail against budget proposals By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers Thursday grilled Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director over the administration’s proposals to balance the state budget over the next 16 months, and particularly over the governor’s refusal to consider any new taxes. “The short answer The short is that he doesn’t believe now is the answer is right time to have that (Gov. a debate or discussion about raising Sam Browntaxes, particularly back) doesn’t on small business- believe now is es,” Budget Director Shawn Sullivan told the right time a joint meeting of the to have a House and Senate debate or disbudget committees. cussion about Sullivan’s appearance before the panel raising taxes, came one day after particularly revenue estimates on small busiwere released showing that the state gen- nesses.” eral fund is likely to take in $228 million — Budget Director less than previously Shawn Sullivan forecast between now and the end of the next fiscal year. Based on spending lawmakers have already approved, that would create a projected $140 million deficit in the current fiscal year that ends June 30 and a $151 million deficit in the next fiscal year that begins July 1. To address those shortfalls, the Brownback administration has laid out three options, all of which begin with sweeping roughly $185 million out of the state highway fund to shore up the general fund both this year and next year, and extending for another year a $17.7 million, or 3 percent, cut in funding for the state’s six universities, including Kansas University. “We continue to work with the governor’s office and legislators in support of stable funding for higher education in Kansas,” KU vice chancellor of public affairs Tim Caboni told the JournalWorld on Thursday.

Rules for local massage industry in the works By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

At the urging of the Lawrence Police Department, the City Attorney’s office is working on potential additions to city code aiming to suppress sex-trafficking operations

disguised as massage parlors. On Tuesday, the Wichita City Council approved a new, extensive licensing procedure for massage parlors that bans sex activity and nudity in such shops. Maria Garcia, assistant city attorney

for Lawrence, said she’s reviewing the measures Wichita is adopting, as well as ordinances in other cities, to determine what to propose for Lawrence. “The police department is interested in having more language on massage regulations,” Garcia said.

“They’ve come to us with that request, and so we’re looking at the issue.” It’s still early in the process of creating a new ordinance, Garcia said, and it will require input from the City Commission. Please see MASSAGE, page 2A

Massage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The topic of massage shops is broached in current city code, which prohibits them. Establishments operated by medical professionals or certified masseurs are excluded from that law. Garcia said it’s “not a lot of language” and “it wasn’t recently passed.” Besides massage shops, modeling studios, adult video arcades and theaters that predominantly show NC-17-rated movies are illegal in Lawrence. The penalty for operating an illegal massage shop is a fine of $100 to $500 upon conviction and up to six months in jail. Each day of noncompliance with the law is seen as a separate offense. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, Kansas is one of only four states that don’t certify or license massage therapists or their establishments at the state level. The AMTA says a state licensure program “creates standards of minimum competency.” Most states require masseuses to pass a background check and go through formal education and examinations in order to be licensed. Massage parlors nationwide have been busted for prostitution and sex trafficking in recent years, with states and cities, such as Wichita, responding by

Lautenschlager was found bleeding in the parking lot of a nearby McDonald’s restaurant at 1309 W. Sixth St. He was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but was declared dead soon after. Back was arrested in Leavenworth County on May 27, 2015. Thursday, jurors heard testimony from Lawrence Police Detective John Hanson who interviewed Back after his arrest. Wednesday, jurors watched nearly three hours of video excerpts from that interview. Hanson on Thursday told jurors Back admitted he planned earlier

creating new regulations. Wichita’s action Tuesday came after the city saw an increase in the number of human trafficking cases at massage businesses, the Associated Press reported. In Lawrence last year, the co-owners of Spring Massage, 600 Lawrence Ave., were charged after a police investigation alleged they were trafficking women. Before their arrests in 2015, both of the owners, Chen Li and Guihong Xiao, were previously found guilty in 2013 for promoting prostitution at two massage businesses in Bonner Springs. The charges were misdemeanors, and they were each required to pay $600 and received no jail time. Li pleaded no contest to the Lawrence charges: one count of attempted human trafficking and one county of promoting the sale of sexual relations. He was sentenced to nearly 3.5 years in prison. Xiao faced charges of aggravated human trafficking, promoting the sale of sexual relations and selling sexual relations. A news release from the time of their arrest stated the pair pressured women against their will to provide sexual service to customers. Garcia said a date has not been set for when any new city regulation on the massage industry would be taken to the City Commission.

Both of those are actions the governor has authority to take on his own. But most of the remaining actions in the governor’s plans would require legislative approval. Among those, included in the governor’s first option is selling off part of the state’s interest in future tobacco settlement money to raise about $158 million in cash for fiscal year 2017, an idea that met with skepticism both inside and outside the Statehouse. Kansas currently receives about $58 million a year in tobacco settlement money. Of that, the administration proposes to keep about $42 million — the amount that now goes to the Children’s Initiative Fund to pay for a variety of health-related and early childhood education programs — and to “securitize” the remaining $16 million per year. Rep. Kathy Wolfe Moore, D-Kansas City, argued that in future years, inflation would erode the value of that $42 million per-year payment, resulting in funding cuts for children’s programs. “Because $42 million that applies today, in 2016, probably won’t be (the same) in five, eight or 10 years,” she said. But Sullivan said lawmakers would always have the ability to recommend additional funding for those programs out of the state general fund. If lawmakers are unwilling to do that, the administration’s second option calls for delaying for yet another year, until fiscal year 2018, a $92 million payment into the state’s retirement fund that was supposed to have been made on April 15 but which Brownback delayed because of revenue shortfalls the state has already suffered so far this year. Under the budget law currently in place, that money must be repaid to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System no later than Oct. 1, 2017, with interest at an annual rate of 8 percent. Such a move would not affect the benefits paid out of KPERS to current or future retirees. But it could lengthen the amount of time it will take Kansas to restore the troubled pension system to a financially stable level. “I’m catching flak on that already,” said

BUDGET DIRECTOR SHAWN SULLIVAN TAKES QUESTIONS about the administration’s proposals for balancing the state budget during a joint meeting of the House and Senate budget committees Thursday.

“

It’s clear to anybody looking at it with a rational eye that we have a huge problem that we need to address, and we are not in any way, shape or form addressing it.” — Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, referring to constituents who, she said, have complained that “we’re going to use their retirement money because we don’t have enough money.” The third option offered by the governor — and the one thought to be the least popular _ would involve across-the-board cuts ranging from 3 to 5 percent for most state agencies, excluding public safety functions, debt service payments and a few other categories. That option would include a 3 percent cut in base funding for public schools, or $57.3 million, according to the Kansas Association of School Boards. It would also involve a 5 percent cut in Medicaid costs, which Sullivan said would likely translate into reduced reimbursement for hospitals, physicians and other health care providers. Sullivan and officials in the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department offered various reasons to explain why revenues are failing to grow as expected: a sluggish state and national economy; depressed prices in the agriculture and energy sectors; and lower-than-expected growth in Kansas personal income. But when asked why the administration refused to consider rolling back any of the tax cuts Brownback championed in 2012 and 2013, Sullivan pointed to the state’s record

OTHER CONTACTS employment levels and the number of businesses moving to Kansas to argue the tax cuts are producing economic benefits. The most controversial of those tax cuts has been the total exemption on nonwage income from certain kinds of business activities, which has eliminated income taxes for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners. “This puts all of us in a difficult situation,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka. “It’s clear to anybody looking at it with a rational eye that we have a huge problem that we need to address, and we are not in any way, shape or form addressing it. Everything we’ve got in here is either more damaging on our agencies and institutions, or they’re one-time fixes.” Sullivan, however, argued the tax cuts are not the cause of the state’s budget problems. “It’s not that the $150 million to $200 million we would get in (from closing the business income loophole) is the sole reason we have a structural shortfall,” he said. “If you look at our expenditure categories, education and Medicaid has played a large part.” He said the administration hopes that over the next two to five years, personal income and retail sales will return to their historic averages of 2.5 to 3 percent annual growth and that the agriculture sector will rebound. After the hearing, the two committee chairmen, Sen. Ty Masterson, of Andover, and Rep. Ron Ryckman, Jr., of Olathe, said they would begin sifting through the governor’s proposals when the full Legislature returns next week. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

determined what the confrontation was about, but that Back told him “it was over the truck, the dope, whatever.” When confronted, Back told Hanson he pulled a knife from his waistband, swung the weapon toward Lautenschlager and ran. Prosecuting Attorney Amy McGowan showed jurors Lautenschlager’s autopsy photos while Douglas County Coroner Dr. Erik Mitchell explained his findings. The cause of Lautenschlager’s death was blood loss, while the manner of his death was homicide, Mitchell said. Intoxication levels of both methamphetamine and marijuana were detected in Lautenschlager’s bodily fluids, Mitchell said. “This means the concentration is high enough

that there is a pharmacological effect,” he said. “The methamphetamine is pretty high and very definitely has an effect. The marijuana was also pretty high.” Examining close-up autopsy photos of Lautenschlager’s neck, Mitchell told jurors the wound was 6 inches long, spanning from back to front on his right side. Mitchell said a ‘sharp object’ caused Lautenschlager’s injury, but could not specify further. The wound consisted of an area where the sharp object penetrated the skin and sliced outward, Mitchell said. In all, the object cut through Lautenschlager’s external jugular vein and the front wall of his internal jugular vein, he said. Mitchell said the wound is “simplest to explain with a single

motion.” Back’s defense previously has argued that Back acted in self-defense when he lashed out at Lautenschlager. After swinging the knife, Hanson said Back ran east on Seventh Street for several blocks before circling south on Alabama, west on Eighth Street and back to the truck, which he broke into and drove out of Lawrence and back to Oskaloosa. The clothes Back was wearing that morning and the knife he said he swung at Lautenschlager were never found, Hanson said. Police recovered the stolen truck outside a Bio-Foods plant in Jefferson County on May 26, 2015. Several other detectives testified on Thursday about Back’s

that morning to steal the truck to use as collateral for money owed to him as a part of a drug debt. Throughout the evening of May 24 and into the morning of May 25, 2015, Back told Hanson that he and several others travelled back and forth between the Arkansas Street home and another home at 3009 Steven Drive. Back said he was looking for some of his lost belongings. Approaching 6 a.m. May 25, Back was unable to find what he was looking for and returned to the Arkansas Street home to steal the truck, he told Hanson in the interview. Outside the home Back said he was confronted by Lautenschlager and another unidentified man. Hanson told jurors police never precisely

House fire planned for Saturday in Eudora E

udora residents noticing thick smoke billowing skyward about noon Saturday just south of Kansas Highway 10 needn’t call the fire department. It’s just a house burning. Eudora Fire Chief Ken Keiter said his department and the Eudora Township Fire Department will burn down a house Saturday at 610 W. 20th St. as a training exercise. Property owner Mark Gabriel donated the house to the city for that use earlier this year. Since that time, the Eudora Fire Department and other departments have conducted extraction training exercises in the building, he said. Although burning derelict houses for training used to be somewhat common, it is rarely done in these days of greater environmental awareness, Keiter said. “We had to get a burn permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment,” he

said. “It’s not easy to burn a structure because of all the preparation you have to do before you can actually burn it. There had to be asbestos remediation, and all the asphalt tar roofing and electrical wiring with plastic covering had to be removed.” Gabriel did much of that work, Keiter said. Saturday’s training will first involve setting a number of fires in a 55-gallon drum placed in the house and filled with wood and rags. Different

teams of firefighters will extinguish those fires as training before the structure is set aflame sometime about 11:30 a.m., Keiter said. The fire department will remain at the scene until there is no danger of the fire restarting. “With the exception of myself and the assistant chief, everyone on this department is a volunteer,” the chief said. “Any time you can get the opportunity to train at a real structure under real conditions, it’s invaluable.” l The Baldwin City Business & Professional Women group learned this month that its application for a grant to erect a hoop house at the community garden it has managed the past five years has been approved. BPW President Barbara Pressgrove said a grant up to $7,000 was approved from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service for a hoop house at the garden

on Second Street north of the cemetery. That is enough money to build a the hoop house of plastic rolled over metal loops 70 feet long and 10 to 12 feet wide. That’s much longer than what’s needed, but there will be a need for a solar-powered ventilation system, she said. A representative from the NRCS will visit the community garden next week to help determine how big the hoop house should be and provide advice on other elements of its design, Pressgrove said. It probably will be August before the hoop house is completed, she said. Meanwhile, plots are available for residents needing garden space, Pressgrove said. Rental fees are $35 for a 10- by 50-foot plot and $60 for two plots that size. Another $25 deposit is required, which is returned at the end of the season if renters clear their lots of weeds and other growth, she said. Renters have

access to the water system at the site and to a tool shed, where they can store their tools or hoses, she said. “The plots were refilled in the fall and the spring,” she said. “There’s a lot of plots remaining.” l For those eager to engage in spring planting and wanting to help the earth, the Eudora Parks and Recreation Department is looking for help with planting and general cleanup at 1 p.m. Saturday at CPA Park. The plants placed in the ground at the Earth Day event will create, conserve and protect monarch butterfly habitat. Refreshments will be available for volunteers. l Eudora High School sports fans needing help with their own cleanup and other tasks will be pleased to know members of the EHS football team are available, for a price. The team will have a benefit labor auction

starting at 3 p.m. Sunday at CPA Park. l Eudora High School students will perform Thornton Wilder’s classic play “Our Town” at 7 p.m. Monday at the Eudora High School Performing Arts Center. Admission is $3 for students and $5 for adults.

BRIEFLY Burcham Park Trail to circle the city. ribbon cutting and walk open with ribbon cutting willThe start at noon May 5 at Bur-

A new section of trail along the Kansas River will officially open May 5 with a ribbon cutting and community walk. The paved trail runs between Burcham and Constant parks and connects to the Outside for a Better Inside Trail in Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park. With its completion, it will be possible to walk along the Kansas River on a paved surface from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to City Hall. The project, totaling $186,600, was paid for in part with a $49,775 grant from the Sunflower Foundation. The 0.64-mile-long stretch is intended to be part of the “Lawrence Loop,” planned to someday

things aren’t working. “The coach can never make the game-winning shot,” he said. But provosts, like coaches, “they’re the ones that create the conditions for success.” Singell is the second of three candidates for provost and executive vice chancellor to address the KU community this month. The first, KU School of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi, gave a presentation last week. The third, who KU says will be publicly named today, is scheduled to present from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday in the Summerfield Room of Adams Alumni Center. The provost search committee asked each to address the question: How can a provost foster an intellectually vibrant campus and advance the educational and research quality of the university?

KDOT picks Lawrence Airport for funding

KPR meets fundraising goals in spring drive

The Kansas Department of Transportation announced Thursday it’s granting Lawrence $154,800 for construction of a new taxiway at Lawrence Airport. KDOT received 114 applications for funds through the second round of its 2017 Kansas Airport Improvement Program, and it selected 12 projects in nine cities to receive a total

Kansas University-based Kansas Public Radio reached its most recent fundraising goal, closing its spring membership drive with $271,217 in pledges, KU announced Thursday. The drive concluded April 15. The membership drive began with more than $124,000 raised through a direct-mail campaign, according to KU. More than $146,000 came in through

on-air pledges from new and returning members. A total of 1,918 listener-members pledged donations during KPR’s Campaign for Excellence 2016, according to KU. Support from private sources accounts for 60 percent of the station’s budget and provides funds for in-depth news coverage, music and coverage of cultural events, KPR Development Director Feloniz Lovato-Winston said in a news release. KPR, which is licensed to KU, broadcasts on 91.5 FM in Lawrence, 89.7 FM in Emporia, 91.3 FM in Olsburg-Junction City, 89.9 FM in Atchison, 90.3 FM in Chanute, and 99.5 FM and 97.9 FM in Manhattan.

school board member. “It’s not that much.” The potential increase would up the district’s tax rate by 2.4 mills. For the owner of a home valued at $160,000, that would mean $44 more per year than under the current tax rate. Taxes are levied on 11.5 percent of a home’s assessed property value, and one mill is equivalent to $1 for every $1,000 of that value. The 2.4 mill increase would generate about $1.7 million to help avoid substantial cuts for next school year. After block grants essentially froze state funding levels last school year, the district made some changes, such as reducing administrative positions and

custodial staff. Without additional funding, cuts that affect classroom size and programming are possible, said Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations. “Really, folks, you’re down to people and positions,” said Hayden, who will replace Doll as superintendent beginning in July. At the same time, administrators made clear the 2.4 mill tax increase is not a guaranteed option. The possibility of increasing the tax rate by that amount stems from a provision in the school funding bill signed earlier this month by Gov. Sam Brownback. The provision allows districts that

lose aid for their local option budgets to raise local property taxes to make up the difference. The state’s funding formula is under review by the Kansas Supreme Court, and some critics of the bill think it is likely the court will find that provision unconstitutional. Oral arguments in the school funding case are scheduled for May 10. Despite the financial uncertainty, Hayden said, the district has to start budget planning based on the bill as it is now. “This could be what we are working with for next year, but it could change,” Hayden said. In addition to the Supreme Court’s ruling,

projected increases in the district’s enrollment and the possibility of additional cuts to public education funding could further affect the district’s budget planning. Earlier in the day Thursday, one of the options laid out by the Brownback administration for dealing with the state’s budget shortfall was a 3 percent cut in funding for public schools. “That’s in addition to anything that we’re talking about here,” Doll said of the potential cuts. Thursday’s council meeting was the first to discuss the district’s budget. Feedback from the council will inform decisions made by the board’s budget committee, which

one year as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences there, according to his resume. From 2008 to 2011 he was associate dean for social sciences at the University of Oregon, where he previously was professor and head of the economics department. He received his doctorate and master’s degree from the University of California-Santa Barbara and his bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, all in economics. His fields of specialization are labor economics and the economics of higher education. In his presentation, Singell said the provost, a university’s chief academic officer, must believe in and be able to “enthusiastically communicate” the institution’s mission internally and externally. A provost must be able to understand relevant data and use it to construct a picture of the future, he said, including “relentlessly” hiring talented faculty and enabling them to execute plans. At Indiana, he said

the College of Arts and Sciences he led had a firm tradition of only hiring and promoting from within. He said he brought in new people from outside the college and the university, who brought valuable perspectives. He said he also tried to give departments power to make decisions, such as giving them access to discretionary funds for their own initiatives. In universities — which Singell called “marvelous” places filled with smart, motivated people — a provost should bring people and ideas together to address challenges. “It’s not a problem,” he said. “It’s a puzzle we’re going to have to solve.” Singell also took questions from the audience, which numbered roughly 130, mostly KU staffers and faculty members. One was to identify a challenge he’d observed in his visit to KU and how he would address it. Singell said, as much as people in academia want to prioritize wisdom, “money matters.”

Declining state budgets, sometimes accompanied with increased state control in other areas, is a problem not unique to KU, he said. He said one goal would be to talk to lawmakers, articulate the value of education, learn what they care about and try to find priorities that align with the university’s mission. Regarding minority recruitment and retention, Singell cited a few efforts he’d made at Indiana, including funding minority faculty hires in certain disciplines, which in turn attracted

more minority students. KU’s provost and executive vice chancellor is second in command for KU’s Lawrence campus but does not oversee KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The new hire will replace Jeff Vitter, who left KU in December to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi. KU’s interim provost since Jan. 1 has been Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187 or sshepherd@ljworld.com.

will submit a budget proposal to the board in July. At the close of Thursday’s meeting, Doll urged council members to talk with the community about the budget decisions facing the district. “Engage your colleagues and neighbors in conversations about it,” Doll said. “I think that’s another part of what you do.

GREEN PARTY

Saturday brings Earth Day parade, celebration By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

ick Schmiedeler is committed to ecofriendly practices in his art, but he doesn’t like to get all philosophical about it. “It’s what I’ve always focused on, just because I enjoy trips to the junkyard anyway,” says Schmiedeler, whose Missouri Street yard has become something of a folk-art destination in recent years, even garnering a spot on HGTV’s “Home Strange Home” for its myriad whirligigs, mobiles and other castoffs-turned-treasures. “I try working with 100 percent recycled materials all the time.” His latest creation, a 6-foot, 500-pound metal sculpture he’s calling “Evolving Auger,” is no exception. The piece, designed and built by Schmiedeler and longtime buddies Pat Slimmer and Kobie Kobler, will be displayed, judged and auctioned off (with 60 percent of proceeds benefitting Van Go, Inc., and the rest going to the artists) at Saturday’s Earth Day celebration in South Park. The 16th annual event, slated for 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and once again hosted by the

city of Lawrence’s solid waste division, will feature a handful of metal sculptures produced by local artists in Advantage Metals Recycling’s “Scrap Showdown” contest. In keeping with the Earth Day theme, all materials were repurposed from the company’s yard of scrap metals. Jenica Nelson, a waste reduction and recycling specialist with the city’s solid waste division, is coordinating this year’s Earth Day celebration. She expects about 2,000 people to attend the free South Park festivities, plus another 200 in the Earth Day parade, which is organized by KU Environs and will begin at 11 a.m. in Buford M. Watson Jr. Park and proceed down Massachusetts Street to the party in South Park.

“We definitely have an emphasis on trying to teach people about some sort of environmental effort, whether that’s reusing materials or what we can do to help wildlife, or water issues,” Nelson says, adding that it’s important to instill mindfulness in children early on in life. “It’s supposed to be an educational opportunity, more than anything. Hopefully they’re learning and taking something away from it.” But that doesn’t mean the event’s no fun. Among the family-oriented activities this year: live music at the South Park gazebo, free yoga classes every half hour beginning at noon, courtesy of OmTree Shala; face painting and a bouncy house for the kiddos; food vendors and dozens of informational exhibits; and the ever-popular ReCycle Cycle, a four-wheel pedal car made with recycled materials by Lawrence resident Richard Renner. In promotion of the ecofriendly festivities, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is providing “bike valet” services free of charge to South Park attendees, and the Lawrence Transit System is offering free bus rides all

day Saturday. Botany-inclined visitors can also partake in “tree I.D. tours” of South Park led by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department. It’s a fittingly green location for the unveiling of “Evolving Auger,” the scrap-metal piece created by Schmiedeler and his “Team LFK” buddies. After being given an hour to sift through scraps at Advantage Metals Recycling, the artists procured a large industrial metal auger, from which they organically welded and braised steel and copper scraps upward in a tree-like shape. The piece, with its natureminded form, represents a life cycle in which forgotten and discarded materials have the chance to be become something new, Schmiedeler says. There are so many useful and interesting objects being tossed — and loaded onto trunks to the junkyard — every day, the artist adds, having just returned from a junkyard haul himself. “It’s amazing what can be reused as something beautiful,” Schmiedeler says. — This is an excerpt from Joanna Hlavacek’s Out & About column, which appears regularly at LJWorld.com.

If you’ve ever wondered about the potential value of an estate sale impulse buy or family heirloom, you might find some answers at this weekend’s “Know Your Antiques” event, hosted by the Watkins Museum of History at 1047 Massachusetts St. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, history buffs, “Antiques Roadshow” fans and lovers of old stuff can have their antiques appraised by local experts, then participate in presentations on caring for family heirlooms and behind-the-scenes tours of the Watkins collections. Experts include: quilter and quilt historian Barbara Brackman (quilts and textiles), Ernie Cummings of Kizer Cummings Jewelers (jewelry), Mass Street Music Store owner and “Antiques Roadshow” appraiser Jim Baggett (musical instruments), Patricia Graham, owner of Asian Art Research & Appraisals (Asian art); Dirk Soulis, owner and principal auctioneer of Dirk Soulis Auctions (fine and decorative art); and Soodie Beasley, art and antique appraiser (fine and decorative art). Tickets cost $5 per item or $12 for 3 items if you’re a Douglas County Historical Society member, and $10 per item or $25 for 3 items if you’re not. They can be purchased at the door or online at watkinsmuseum. org. All proceeds benefit the Watkins Museum. — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388 or jhlavacek@ljworld.com.

The Cajun Corn Dog is greasy and gluttonous and totally unapologetic about it.

Look into reasons behind husband’s low libido Dear Annie: What do you think about a married couple whose only intimacy is makeup sex? My husband says he loves me and I believe he is faithful, but he never initiates anything in the bedroom, and we have sex only if I pitch a fit because I feel neglected. I don’t do this often, so we’ve had sex only twice in the past 15 months. We are both healthy 42-year-olds. We have a 3-year-old child who requires a lot of attention, but even so, I can’t understand how he doesn’t desire intimacy. He is an awesome husband, who cooks, cleans, bathes our child, and doesn’t go out with the guys or do things I disapprove of. He just doesn’t seem to want me. I am attractive and still get looks from other men. A month

Doc-turnedcomic wraps up season Is it a case of life imitating art? Or of a sitcom taking a solid season to arrive at its beginning? Ken acts on his dream of doing stand-up comedy on the season finale of “Dr. Ken” (6:30 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). Fans of the series know that “Dr. Ken” is based on the real life of its star, writer and coexecutive producer, Ken Jeong, who trained and worked as a doctor before embarking on his career as a stand-up comedian. N o t u n l i k e “Last Man Standing,” another ABC series ending its season tonight, “Dr. Ken” is a bit of a throwback. Like sitcoms dating back decades, it’s a multi-camera effort that doesn’t follow the movie or documentary style of single-camera comedies. It also hearkens back to the 1990s, when stand-up artists and their “characters” dominated series from “Roseanne” to “Seinfeld” and “Mad About You.” Not to mention “Home Improvement,” featuring “Last Man Standing” star Tim Allen. “Dr. Ken” is also a little similar in attitude to the U.K. import favorite “Doc Martin.” Both feature physicians who have to endure the rambling self-diagnoses of clueless patients. But since Jeong is a comedian, he deals in punch lines, while Martin Clunes of “Doc Martin” fame tends to dismiss the annoyances with single syllable utterances or a withering glance. While announcements have yet to be made, folks who study such things believe that both “Dr. Ken” and “Last Man Standing” are fairly safe bets to return next season. O Speaking of stand-up comedians, the 2016 concert documentary “Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping” begins streaming on Netflix today. O Nat Geo Wild celebrates Earth Day with “Mission Critical: Orangutan on the Edge” (8 p.m., TV-PG) a look at the secret lives of tree-dwelling primates whose lives and habitats have been threatened by poaching and deforestation. Other Earth Day-related programming includes the 2016 documentary “Dear President Obama” (7 p.m., Viceland), featuring arguments from clean energy activists questioning the use of hydraulic fracturing. Netflix commemorates the day with the debut of the 2015 documentary “Catching the Sun,” a look at efforts in the United States and China to harness solar energy. Tonight’s other highlights

Out of options Repeated revenue and spending cuts are damaging the future of Kansas.

one of the options are good. After the official estimators determined the state would take in about $228.6 million less in tax revenues than it had expected this year and next, Gov. Sam Brownback sent Budget Director Shawn Sullivan to a press conference to lay out the options for balancing the state budget. First, the state needs to fill a $140 million hole in the current year’s budget by the end of the fiscal year on June 30. It’s also facing a $151 million budget gap for next year. The governor has some ideas about how to address that. None of them include revisiting the state’s business income tax exemptions that are the underlying cause of this problem. They do include further attacks on state highways, state universities, state pension funds and the tobacco settlement fund that benefits Kansas children. If the state pursues an across-theboard spending cut, all state agencies, including K-12 education and Medicaid, would see budget cuts of 3 to 5 percent. All three of the options Sullivan outlined would sweep $70 million this year and $115 million next year from the state highway fund, delaying all new major highway projects in the state. The three also maintain 3 percent “allotment” cuts to the state universities, resulting in a $4 million loss each year to Kansas University and $3.2 for the KU Medical Center. Option 1, the governor’s preferred plan, also would sell off part of the state’s future income from the tobacco settlement for the next 30 years in exchange for about $158 million now. Although $42 million a year would be reserved for children’s programs, the legislation needed to raise this one-time money would abolish the system that protects those funds from being sucked up for other general fund uses in the future. Option 2 would further delay a scheduled payment of $92 million to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement system. Option 3 is the across-the-board cut, which would make it even less likely that the Kansas Supreme Court will accept the state’s latest attempt to meet the constitutional requirement for K-12 funding. State legislators, who face re-election this year, had given the governor significant authority to reduce state spending in hopes they wouldn’t have to tackle major budget issues this year, but those issues now have landed back in their laps. Committees began meeting Thursday to discuss the options, and the full Legislature will return to Topeka on Wednesday. Several legislators who previously had opposed reconsideration of the business income tax exemption appeared to be softening on that issue in light of the dire revenue predictions, but the governor on Wednesday was standing firm. “I do not believe it would be useful to have a debate about raising taxes on small business or anyone else,” he said in a prepared statement. So, when is the right time for that debate? After the state has done damage to its highways, schools and others structures that will take a generation or more to repair? Many Kansans would like to see a legislative coalition pass revisions to the business tax cuts. If the governor vetoes the plan, so be it, but legislators would be able to point to their responsible action during their upcoming election campaigns. The state is out of acceptable options. Someone needs to stand up for the future of Kansas.

A plan for campaign finance reform Washington — It has become a truism to say that the American political system is suffering from dysfunction. But weirdly, even the insurgent candidates, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, don’t talk much about how they would fix it. This is a populist insurgency without a clear manifesto. So it’s refreshing to hear Rep. John Sarbanes present a detailed action plan to repair what’s broken. This proposal isn’t a cure-all. It wouldn’t fix the immigration problem or fund Social Security or fight terrorism. But by changing the way we fund elections, this proposal could make it easier to elect the politicians who would make the U.S. government work again for its citizens. Sarbanes, a Maryland Democrat, presents his proposal in the current issue of the Harvard Journal on Legislation. It’s a simple idea: Congress should free itself from big-money, special-interest domination by encouraging an alternative system of small contributions that would be matched with public funds. This isn’t a new idea — Teddy Roosevelt proposed a version back in 1907 — but it’s a good one, and a way to start curing what ails us. “The republic is in dire straits,” writes Sarbanes. “The governed perceive the government as corrupt. The vast majority are convinced that the wealthy and well-con-

“

It’s a simple idea: Congress should free itself from big-money, specialinterest domination by encouraging an alternative system of small contributions that would be matched with public funds.” nected call the shots in Washington. ... Americans are increasingly convinced that a plutocracy has taken hold.” Sarbanes explained in an interview what he sees as the downward spiral of American politics. “The solid citizens are judging that the system isn’t responsive to them. When these folks vacate the political town square, it creates a vacuum — and extremists take over. A second thing happens, too: By leaving, people cede the town square even more to the elites, which drives policy even further away from what people want.” Members of Congress are caught in this vortex. Unless

they’re personally wealthy, they’re perpetually raising money. Campaign spending for House elections increased 610 percent between 1984 and 2012. Sarbanes writes that the average House seat cost $1.5 million in 2012, which meant that a candidate had to raise more than $4,000 a day in the offyear to have the necessary stack of cash. No wonder they have no time or inclination for solving problems. Sarbanes has a twofold answer to this money-driven process of decline. First, he would create a 50 percent tax credit for small campaign donations up to $100 in every two-year election cycle. Second, to amplify the voices of small contributors, he would provide a six-to-one match for their donations to qualified candidates. To participate, candidates would have to raise at least $50,000 in small contributions, limit each donor to $1,000 per election and forgo money from private political action committees. PACs now dominate the political space, thanks to the Supreme Court’s unfortunate refusal to limit secret money in the 2010 Citizens United case. Sarbanes thinks his plan would pass muster even with this court. Sarbanes argues that for members of Congress, this approach would create a real alternative to a system that many of them detest. It gives

power to the little guy: A $50 donation becomes $300. A living-room gathering that collects 30 of these $50 donors raises nearly $10,000. This system would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars per election cycle. That won’t be an easy sell for a country that seems to despise politicians. But it’s a fraction of what private interests spend or, say, the cost of what taxpayers spend for one new ballistic-missile submarine. The truth about politics, like everything else, is that we get what we pay for. The public-funding idea isn’t as unpopular as you might think. A recent poll by Democracy Corps found that 72 percent of respondents favored Sarbanes’ approach. America’s rebellion against the political status quo is the central political fact of 2016. Pretending that it will go away is a mistake. This alienation has been building for a decade, first with the tea party on the right and the Occupy Movement on the left, and now in Trump and Sanders. But so far, this deep disaffection has produced mostly negative results — spawning anger and division that will make the system even more dysfunctional. Angry, alienated Americans need an objective: How about changing the rotten system that has gotten our politics into this paralyzing decay? — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 22, 1916: “Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, in years charge of the food and ago drug analysis departIN 1916 ment at the University of Kansas, is waging a determined war upon several brands of supposedly pure cider vinegar. Prof. Bailey, who made the first food report to the state board of health in 1906, is determined that the housewife shall not be imposed upon in the future as she has been in the past. ‘One of the most flagrant cases of adulteration we have found in our laboratory work,’ declares Professor Bailey, ‘is that of some brands of vinegar. Labeled “cider vinegar” … are nothing more than distilled vinegar, colored with burnt sugar.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Professors address guns, safety at KU By Susan Kemper and Ed Russell

Sixty-four members of the Council of Distinguished Professors at Kansas University have sent a letter to Chancellor Gray-Little expressing concerns about the July 1, 2017, implementation of the Family and Personal Protection Act permitting the concealed carry of handguns on campus. In a previous public statement, we, members of the Council of Distinguished Professors at KU, urged the state Legislature to repeal the concealed carry law or to exempt colleges and universities from this law. If the law is not changed, we urge KU to reframe the discussion from a focus on guns to a focus on safety. Our understanding is that the purpose of the concealed carry law is to make Kansans feel safe. We embrace that goal. The purpose of the new policy at KU, then, should be making all students, faculty and staff feel safe. We recommend the new policy be a campus safety policy, not a policy on concealed carry of guns. A campus safety policy should make safety of the whole community its top priority. We feel endangered by concealed carry of handguns because a premise of the concealed carry law is false. The law assumes armed people will behave rationally. While this may be true for most of the people most of the time, it is not true for all people all of the time. Some students, faculty and staff behave irrationally as a result of undiagnosed or untreated mental illnesses. A second reason for irrationality is the use of drugs and alcohol. Otherwise rational people behave irrationally when drinking or on drugs. A third reason is that people become upset and angry. These emotions are not limited to those with mental illness or on mood-altering substances. A fourth

“

YOUR TURN

The purpose of the new policy at KU, then, should be making all students, faculty and staff feel safe. We recommend the new policy be a campus safety policy, not a policy on concealed carry of guns.”

reason is that people are inattentive and distracted: Handguns, while easy to conceal, are also easy to lose, misplace and mishandle, resulting in gun thefts and accidental shootings. In carrying out our duties as employees, we often encounter students and colleagues who seem upset, angry or irrational. Most people do nothing dangerous in response to these stresses. But, as we have seen on other campuses, irrational, upset, or angry individuals with guns sometimes kill people. l Students feel angry about grades, frustrated by difficult course material or upset by lectures and class discussions about controversial issues. l Employees feel angry about performance reviews, salaries, behavior of coworkers and supervisors, and other issues. l Students and colleagues feel upset or depressed because of problems with families, illness, money, and relationships or because their friends and relatives were killed in mass shootings. The fear of being shot by students or colleagues, may lead us to delete controversial material from the curriculum, even when important for the topic of the course, give high grades and performance evaluations, even when unwarranted, or teach and meet with students online to avoid potentially lethal confrontations in classrooms and of-

fices. These options are unacceptable. A comprehensive policy on campus safety would not only address compliance with the Personal and Family Protection Act but also address broader concerns affecting campus safety: l enhance resources for training students, faculty and staff in gun safety, peaceful conflict resolution and anger and crises management; l expand training for how to identify and respond to potentially dangerous or troublesome behaviors. The approach taken by the “Student of Concern” review, including bystander education and other efforts directed at prevention, education, consultation and assessment, should be extended to address faculty and staff behaviors, as well as those of campus visitors. These and other actions in response to the law permitting concealed carry of handguns on campus will be costly. Meeting these costs will impact the essential mission of the university. We ask that the university provide an analysis of the financial and personnel costs incurred in response to this law. We ask that the chancellor communicate these costs and their impact to the Kansas Board of Regents, the Legislature and the campus community We must address gun safety through education and training; we must reduce the risk of suicide and accidental shootings through a focus on mental health, anger management and peaceful ways to protest; we must restore a climate of trust, respect, tolerance and openness to diversity, inquiry and free speech. Without addressing these concerns, there is little here to defend — either with words or with guns. — Distinguished professors Susan Kemper, psychology, and Ed Russell, history, wrote this column on behalf of KU’s Council of Distinguished Professors.

rince, a prodigy, a provocateur and a gamechanger in popular music, died Thursday at his Paisley Park compound in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen. He was 57. Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson confirmed Thursday afternoon that deputies and medics were sent to Paisley Park around 9:43 a.m. CT, where they found the singer unresponsive in an elevator. Their attempts to revive him failed, and he was pronounced dead at 10:07 a.m. The department’s statement said it was investigating the death with assistance from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

States, utilities resist lead disclosures Alison Young

@alisonannyoung USA TODAY

Some states and water utilities balk at the Environmental Protection Agency’s call to post inventory information online about the number and locations of risky lead pipes in their systems, according to a review of documents obtained from 49 states by the USA TODAY NETWORK. Drinking water regulators in about a dozen states expressed varying degrees of resistance or concerns about the EPA’s directive encouraging water systems to voluntarily give consumers easy access to what utilities know about homes receiving drinking water through lead service lines, a key indicator of whether a home’s tap water could be contaminated and whether utilities are complying with testing regulations.

“We do not have the initial materials inventory from systems readily available and do not intend to spend valuable staff resources sifting through microfilm to find this information,” South Dakota’s water regulatory agency told the EPA, saying in a letter March 7 that it would instead post details about the subset of homes where each utility takes its water samples. USA TODAY NETWORK reporters collected letters from 49 state agencies responding to the EPA’s call for action. Requests were pending for letters from New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Some major water utilities told USA TODAY they also have concerns, including customers’ privacy. The bottom line: It’s unlikely water system inventory information will be widely available online anytime soon. “What the EPA is asking for is critically important,” said Yanna Lambrinidou, a drinking water

Baby’s fossil traces brief life of a developing dinosaur Would-be behemoth started out ankle-high Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Scientists have stumbled on an extraordinary fossil of a baby dinosaur — a youngster so small you would have had to stoop to scratch its back. If it had survived to adulthood, it would have grown into a behemoth the size of a fire truck. Even so, it emerged from the egg only as high as an adult human’s ankle. Then its growth spurt began. By

the time it perished, at perhaps 2 months old, it had sprouted to knee height. “It grew from this … Chihuahua-sized dinosaur at hatching to a golden retriever-sized dinosaur when it died in just a few weeks,” said Macalester College’s Kristi Curry Rogers, co-author of a study describing the specimen. Never before have scientists found such a complete fossil of a very small baby sauropod, a member of the group of longnecked, plant-eating giants that includes the iconic and much-disputed Brontosaurus. By dying young, the miniature dinosaur provided a gift to scien-

tists: its bones. Encoded in the fossil is information about dinosaur development and parenting, which in this case was minimal. Until now, scientists have been in the dark about sauropods from “elephant-sized (to) when they were embryos in the egg,” says paleobiologist Holly Woodward of the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, who was not associated with the new study. The find “is the key fossil right now for understanding that period of a sauropod’s growth.” The 67-million-year-old Rapetosaurus that Curry Rogers found died young, probably of starvation, at 1 to 21⁄2 months old, she

and her colleagues said in this week’s Science. The researchers’ exhaustive examination of the itsy-bitsy bones suggest that before its death, this wee reptile could run, jump, even rear onto its hind legs — unlike adults, which were too big for such shenanigans. The baby’s bones show it grew like a weed, confirming suspicions that sauropods shot up and out from the very beginning. Findings from only one fossil may not apply to all sauropods, cautioned paleobiologist Martin Kundrát of Slovakia’s Comenius University, who was not involved with the analysis. But he tends to support the study’s conclusions.

Prince left indelible mark on music, me DAVID BARATZ, USA TODAY

Sharyn L. Flanagan

USA TODAY multiplatform editor Sharyn Flanagan has a tattoo of the love symbol that the musician Prince used as his stage name.

USA TODAY

Those who know me already know most of this story. When I picked out my first tattoo in 1992, I knew I wanted it to be a mix of the male and female symbols. It means love. Then, while working at The Philadelphia Tribune, Prince’s media package came over my desk with this gold symbol. I instantly knew it was the merger of the male and female symbols, and it was perfect. That week, I went with the great, late photographer Paris Gray to a tattoo shop on South Street. He chronicled my first inking on my right shoulder, and I wrote a full-page piece on my love for “The Artist” and his music for the Tribune’s entertainment section. This was before Prince changed his name to the unpronounceable symbol in 1993. My Marine Corps Reserve colleagues were none too happy with me for getting a tattoo, but because everyone loved Prince, it was OK. I went on to get seven more “love symbols” around my left ankle. Three of them are inked in purple. When I was at West Chester University in 1986, I was known for always putting Prince and his lyrics into any essay assignment.

Prince performs Aug. 9, 2011, at the Sziget Festival on the Shipyard Island in northern Budapest. “Are you a Prince fan?” my dyadic communication professor asked me after I had handed in my third paper with Prince lyrics. She said I

had turned her onto “The Artist.” Believe it or not, I wasn’t always a Prince fanatic. I’d never even heard of Prince until my child-

hood friend Stephan Warrington made me a mix-tape of his songs in 1984. He would talk about Prince the summer before we became seniors in high school and was incredulous of my ignorance. “You never heard of Prince? You’re going to see Purple Rain, right?” He kept dropping song titles as I shook my head: Little Red Corvette, 1999, Controversy. I was not “in the know,” and Steph was going to fix that. I ended up listening to that tape so much on my Walkman that I finally ruined it and had to make one of my own. Since then, Prince had me for life. Still, after being a fan for more than 30 years, I didn’t get to see Prince in person until last summer at a dance party at Paisley Park during the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Minneapolis. I was in the cavernous room when he entered. He passed right by me, and I

didn’t recognize him with his afro. I, of course, was just running my mouth to someone about how he might not even make an appearance, but I was glad to at least be at “Prince’s house.” Then I felt a fast wave of air pass me as people started screaming and rushing the stage area. Prince was indeed there, and everyone could feel his aura. My dream was fulfilled as he took the stage and talked to us about his next project on Jay Z’s Tidal music streaming service. Thursday afternoon, as I brought my lunch back to my desk, my cellphone and work phone started ringing like crazy. Then I saw the alert of a death at Paisley Park and my heart just dropped. “Please don’t let it be Prince,” I thought. But it was, and the tears came. When I get home, I’ll look at my collection of “love symbol” pins and other Prince memorabilia and play his music and dance by myself. Much love always to you, Prince, I miss you already. Your music held so many lessons for me over the years, and it’s definitely the soundtrack of my life.

“It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer Prince Rogers Nelson has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57,” his publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, wrote in a statement. She did not elaborate on the cause of his death. Prince had been briefly hospitalized Friday after his plane made an emergency landing at Illinois’ Quad City International Airport. Noel-Schure told USA TODAY he had been struggling with the flu. President Obama, for whom Prince was a White House guest last year, said he and his wife “joined millions of fans from around the world” in mourning Prince’s sudden death. “Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly,” Obama said in a statement. “ ‘A strong spirit transcends rules,’ Prince once said — and nobody’s spirit was stronger, bolder or more creative.” Prince, a 2004 Rock Hall of Fame inductee, won seven Grammy Awards and a best-original-song Oscar for his 1984 film Purple Rain. His long list of hits includes 1999, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Let’s Go Crazy and Kiss. The 5-foot-2 MinneCorrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

In the late 1980s, Tipper Gore, then the wife of politician Al Gore, co-founded the Parents Music Resource Center after she heard his explicit song Darling Nikki. Prince famously changed his

lines, as required. Lead usually gets into drinking water as it passes through lead pipes coming onto individual properties and into homes. If utilities test water at homes that have little or no lead in their plumbing, the results are unlikely to find contamination and can give a false sense of safety across the system, as they did in Flint, Lambrinidou said. “Accountability, up until today, has almost been completely absent,” Lambrinidou said. A USA TODAY NETWORK investigation last month revealed that almost 2,000 water systems nationwide have failed to meet the EPA’s standards for lead in drinking water. People in thousands more communities deemed in compliance with the EPA’s lead rules have no assurance their drinking water is safe because of the limited and inconsistent ways water is tested, the investigation found. It’s an issue with significant consequences because there is no safe level of lead exposure. Federal regulations required water systems in the early 1990s to

determine what kinds of materials their pipes were made of in at least some portions of their distribution areas. The EPA, as part of its effort to restore public confidence in the safety of U.S. drinking water, sent letters Feb. 29 to every state, calling on their drinking water regulator to “work with” utilities to post on the Web those documents — as well as any updates or maps of lead service line locations. Many states told the EPA that water systems were never required to file their inventories with state agencies, which enforce federal drinking water regulations. The utilities merely had to certify that they had done the survey work to identify a limited pool of high-risk homes with lead service lines and lead plumbing to serve as testing locations. Virginia water regulators told the EPA that representatives from the state’s water utilities have “expressed a number of concerns … primarily about the expenditure of a substantial amount of staff and financial resources to complete this request,” according to the state’s letter March 25. North Carolina and North Dakota also expressed concerns that gathering and post-

ing inventory records would require significant effort. “The placement of voluminous information gathered from these materials evaluations, most of which were conducted more than 20 years ago, on either the water system’s website or on our agency’s website would be overwhelming,” North Carolina said in its letter. Some states, such as Kansas, Missouri and Pennsylvania, raised privacy concerns about publicly posting the locations of lead pipes or addresses where utilities test water for lead. The EPA said it is reviewing states’ responses. The information the EPA wants posted will help “demonstrate that (water utilities) have conducted a thorough materials evaluation and understand the

locations of lead service lines in their system,” the agency said. Rather than call for utilities to post inventories and updated maps online, some state regulators told the EPA they ask for different types of information to shed light on lead pipes. South Dakota regulators have created and posted online reports for each water system listing the addresses of water sample sites and whether they are served with a lead service line or other lead materials. “We felt that that was as good or better than what the EPA was asking for,” said Mark Mayer, the state’s drinking water program administrator. North Carolina said it will ask water systems to update certain forms, including those covering construction materials, plans for selecting water sample test sites and spreadsheets of test locations. Though many states told the EPA they’ll encourage water systems to post their original inventories and some said they are asking for updates, only a few states set deadlines or indicated efforts mandating sharing the inventories with the public, the USA TODAY NETWORK review found. Massachusetts regulators noted in a letter March 29 that the Boston Water and Sewer Commission’s online inventory information could serve as a model for others. The city of Cincinnati has posted similar information online that allows customers to look up information about whether they have a lead line, the Ohio EPA said in its letter April 1.

Coalition burns ISIL’s $500M in cash Militants are short on fuel and cash, but are still a threat in Mosul Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

The U.S.-led coalition air campaign has incinerated about $500 million of the Islamic State’s cash stockpiles and cut its oil revenues by an estimated 50%, according to a senior defense official. The Islamic State has been forced to ration fuel in some areas and cut pay by half to its fighters and government officials in regions it controls, according to the official, who asked not to be named in order to discuss intelligence issues. U.S. officials have said the air campaign combined with local ground forces in Iraq and Syria have dealt the Islamic State setbacks in recent months, saying the terror group has lost 40% of the territory it once controlled in Iraq. “We’ve got the momentum,” Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said last week. The statistics for the first time quantify the impact the air campaign and U.S.-backed local ground forces have had on the Islamic State’s finances and its military capabilities. Two years after the Islamic State swept into Iraq, capturing large swaths of territory and defeating a large portion of the Iraqi army, the terror group remains badly weakened and on the defensive. At its peak, it moved forces and equipment boldly around the battlefield and established its often brutal rule over towns and cities. The group posted videos of its fighters killing captured Iraqi soldiers. Foreign fighters flocked to the group in Iraq and Syria, where it pledged to set up a caliphate and appeared unbeatable. Today, the group has to move around Iraq and Syria in small teams to avoid airstrikes and is

increasingly shifting to guerrilla tactics. The Islamic State, which is also called ISIS or ISIL, is struggling to replace its fighters who are now being killed at a rate of 1,500 to 2,000 a month, the official said. Only enough foreign fighters enter Iraq and Syria to replace about 25% of those who are being killed every week. That has forced the Islamic State to replace fighters by conscripting men in areas they control. As their territory shrinks they

have been turning to younger and less experienced fighters and have also had to press some government officials into military service, the official said. Alarmed by the losses, Islamic State’s leaders in Raqqa met and decided to overhaul much of their military hierarchy, firing some combat leaders and executing others, the official said. Some of those who were executed were combat leaders in eastern Syria, where the Islamic State has suffered recent defeats at the hands of U.S.-backed opposition forces. The official cautioned that the Islamic State is not defeated and remains a potent threat in the region that also is capable of striking in Europe and elsewhere. The Islamic State still controls Raqqa, a city that serves as its de facto capital in Syria, and Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city. They have dedicated fighters, many of whom would fight without a paycheck.

Analysts agree. “ISIS is getting weaker, but that doesn’t mean their demise is around the corner,” said Stephen Biddle, a professor at George Washington University and an analyst at the Council on Foreign Relations. The official and analysts said the group has been forced to make some tough decisions about what terrain is worth defending, since it is spread too thin to protect everything it once controlled. “It looks like a strategic choice to marshal resources in areas that have more economic importance,” Biddle said. Last year, Iraqi forces backed by U.S. airstrikes took Ramadi from Islamic State militants, in a major defeat for the militant group. Iraq’s forces have continued to drive militants out of the Euphrates River Valley west of Ramadi, most recently recapturing the town of Hit.

“Hit was a linchpin for ISIL,” Army Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman in Baghdad, said. “Clearing Hit hampers their ability to move foreign fighters and supplies into the Euphrates River Valley, and sets the stage for future offensive operations.” Iraq’s U.S.-backed forces face a more formidable challenge in Mosul. They likely will experience a militant force of about 6,000 fighters, 10 times the size of the militant force in Ramadi. Any final assault in the city is likely months away, though initial operations to isolate the city already have begun. Unlike al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, the Islamic State has seized and tried to govern territory and manage resources. This gave the group a propaganda advantage, because it claimed to be restoring an Islamic caliphate, but it also provided the coalition with more opportunities to attack them.

Divisive convention may hurt GOP, Barbour says Republican insider says, when it comes to delegates, the rules are meant to be followed

WASHINGTON This summer’s contentious Republican convention is likely to damage the GOP’s standing just as the general election is starting, one of the party’s most senior leaders warns, regardless of whether Donald Trump or someone else ends up with the nomination. “I promise you, there will be hurt feelings,” says Haley Barbour, who during a half-century in politics has served as Mississippi governor, Republican National Committee chairman and White House political director. “And I suspect when the convention is over, where you normally want a bump ... I don’t think we’ll get a bump. No matter what the outcome — Trump wins, (Ted) Cruz wins, (John) Kasich wins, somebody else wins, two ballots, three ballots, whatever — I think we’ll get a dip.” That would cost the party one of the few opportunities during the presidential campaign to present a positive and relatively unfiltered picture of the White House nominee at a time when many voters are beginning to tune into the contest. In 1980, Ronald Reagan’s support rose 8 percentage points in the Gallup Poll immediately after the GOP convention in Detroit; in 1992, Bill Clinton got a huge 16-point bounce from the Democratic convention in New York. The good news for the GOP, Barbour, 68, told Capital Download, is that the convention is being held in July rather than August, so “we have an extra month to try to bring people together.” He speaks from experience. At the last contested convention, in 1976, Barbour was the 28-yearold chief of staff for the Mississippi delegation, the largest uncom-

mitted bloc in Kansas City. That made them the target of lobbying by both President Gerald Ford and challenger Ronald Reagan. “People got invited to state dinners at the White House,” Barbour recalls. “Betty Ford called people on the telephone and talked to them.” Meanwhile, the Reagan camp dispatched Hollywood stars to woo them, from singer Pat Boone to Ken Curtis, the actor who played Deputy Festus on CBS’ Gunsmoke. Reagan visited the delegation twice. The delegates felt under “huge pressure,” Barbour says. And while most eventually came together behind Ford once he won

the nomination, “there are a handful of people who never got over it, never spoke to each other again.” This time, Trump is the party’s most likely nominee, but he doesn’t have it wrapped up yet, Barbour says, putting the odds right now at something less than 50%. He rejects Trump’s argument that he should be nominated if he wins the most delegates, even if he’s shy of a majority. In response, Barbour invokes the names of two storied politicians. “Abraham Lincoln did not win on the first ballot,” he said. “Abraham Lincoln finished second on the first ballot and won the nomination on the third ballot. So give me a break. Ronald Reagan got a million more votes in 1976 than Gerald Ford, but when Gerald Ford won the nomination based on the rules, did Ronald Reagan whine? Did he call for riots? No, because he knew what the rules were, and he played by the rules and the rules are, in both parties, you must get a majority of the delegates.” As Trump gets closer to the 1,237 delegates he needs, Barbour says, Republicans reluctant to support the billionaire businessman have had conflicting reactions. “There are people who are saying, ‘I’m going to grin and bear it because we need to get going’ ” in the campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, he says. “But other people are redoubling their efforts to nominate someone else.” Of particular concern is the impact Trump’s nomination might have on Republican candidates for the Senate and House down the ballot. “There are a lot of people that say, ‘I want to be for the person who has the best chance to win.’ Other people say, ‘I want to be for who will be the best president, even if they don’t have the best chance to win.’ And other people say, ‘I’m mad as hell and I want to send Washington the bird,’ and Donald Trump is the greatest manifestation of a gigantic middle finger that I’ve ever seen.”

ELKHORN Like most churches, the back rows filled up first, and then the chairs closer to the altar were taken as late arrivals walked in. Loren Johnson had moved his farm machinery and equipment, plus pallets of 50-pound bags of seed, to make room for the congregation inside one of the barns on his fifth-generation farm. The 40 or so parishioners and pastor were there for him. They also came Sunday morning for his new wind turbine, to bless the blades he made from 2-by-4s. And they came for a blessing of seeds, soil and wind in honor of Earth Day Friday. The altar in front of the group — a table covered with an emerald green cloth and needlework that said “Good Earth” — was filled with bouquets of golden wheat and pussy willows in vases, as well as bowls and baskets for seeds. As folks came in they brought packages of seeds to the altar — alfalfa, beans, corn, spinach. Seeds that will become green onions, soybeans, collard greens, parsnips and Queen Anne sweet peas. “Welcome to Seed Sunday,” said Simone Nathan, pastor of Good Earth Church of the Divine. “Welcome to this gorgeous spring morning in the church of Loren.” Johnson, 67, wanted to build a wind turbine, so he found a book that told him how and spent three years constructing it, using a chain saw to cut 2by-4s of southern yellow pine.

MEG JONES, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

It took Loren Johnson three years to build his wind turbine out of southern yellow pine during his spare time. to only the cash grain portion of the business — alfalfa for the farmer who bought his herd, winter wheat, soybeans and corn. He finished his wind turbine last fall and nervously watched it withstand a storm of 50 mph winds. He’s waiting for We Energies to hook it up, which he expects will be done in May. Johnson isn’t sure how much power will be generated, but if his guidebook is correct, a 14foot turbine powered by 11 mph winds, the average speed in his locale, would create 272 kilowatts a month. “It’s a real simple, elegant design. It’s just gravity and wind,” Johnson said. Johnson has occasionally attended the Good Earth Church of the Divine, which opened three years ago in a research barn in East Troy, and he told Nathan about the wind turbine he was building.

At the end of the service, Johnson thanked everyone for coming and talked briefly about his love of the land. “Friday is Earth Day, when we think of our connection to Earth,” said Johnson, who remembers when Earth Day started in 1970 as a way to support environmental protection and has now grown worldwide. “At the time we thought of Earth Day as a conservation crisis, but now we think of it as a civilization crisis.”

MONEYLINE FBI PAID AT LEAST $1.3M TO HACK TERRORIST IPHONE The FBI paid at least $1.3 million for the tool that let it break into the iPhone 5 used by San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook, agency director James Comey said Thursday. Asked how much it cost to buy the hacking tool, Comey told attendees at the Aspen Security Forum in London it was more than he will be paid in the remainder of his job, which is 7 years, 4 months. Comey makes an estimated $183,000 per year. The FBI had previously indicated it paid a substantial fee but had declined to provide a specific amount. ‘SALT LAKE TRIBUNE’ TO BE SOLD TO PAUL HUNTSMAN ‘The Salt Lake Tribune,’ the largest newspaper in Utah, will be sold to Paul Huntsman, son of billionaire Jon Huntsman Sr. Terms of the deal, announced by ‘Tribune’ parent Digital First Media, were not disclosed.

SAN FRANCISCO Google parent Alphabet reported first-quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations as growing losses from the tech giant’s investments in speculative businesses, from self-driving cars to speedy Internet access, overshadowed Google’s booming ad business. Class A shares of Alphabet fell 6% after hours to $732. They’ve rallied 44% in the past 12 months. “Alphabet has made it pretty clear they weren’t going to stop

their investments in other areas, and they spent a little bit more than some people may have liked,” said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis. “You don’t necessarily like to see costs and losses growing faster than revenue, but that’s where Alphabet’s future is going to be.” Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat, who joined the company

last May in a hire investors hoped would curb spending, assured investors that Alphabet is “thoughtfully pursuing big bets.” Thursday was the second time Alphabet reported financial results after restructuring as Alphabet, separating Google’s core business from its “other bets” or so-called “moonshots,” many of which lose money.

Revenue from “other bets” in the first quarter doubled to $166 million, primarily generated by smart gadget maker Nest, life sciences research organization Verily and speedy Internet provider Fiber. But the operating loss from the division widened to $802 million from $633 million, spooking investors. Thursday after the market closed, Alphabet reported firstquarter earnings per share excluding certain items of $7.50, missing the Wall Street target of $7.96, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Net income was $4.21 billion, or $6.02 a share, up from $3.52 billion, or $5.10 a share, a year ago. Total revenue for the first three months of the year increased to $20.26 billion from $17.26 billion, falling below analyst estimates.

would be more than $7 billion, Kelley Blue Book estimated. One immediate question is whether VW owners will embrace the deal. “Almost all of them I know personally don’t want to do anything to their car,” Kelley Blue Book analyst Karl Brauer said. “They don’t want to get rid of it because they like it, and they don’t want to get it fixed because they like how it drives.” Volkswagen will be required to invest funds to “promote green automotive” initiatives and establish an environmental remediation fund after years of cars spewing nitrogen oxide emissions at harmful levels, the judge said. Justice Department attorney Joshua Van Eaton said the Federal Trade Commission is likely to support the deal. The FTC recently sued Volkswagen over the German automaker’s “clean diesel” advertising, which the agency called deceptive. Breyer set June 21 as a deadline for the parties to file preliminary proposals on the settlement, after which the public will have a chance to comment before he signs off. Volkswagen shares rose 5.1% Thursday, closing at $127.05.

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon and New York City public schools inked a $30 million contract Wednesday to provide e-books for students.

take effect in the coming school year. The school district has the option of extending it for two more years, which would be worth about $34.5 million more. Including more than 978,000 students, New York has the larg-

est school district in the country. New York originally agreed to the deal last summer, but it was delayed over concerns from the National Federation of the Blind that the materials wouldn’t be accessible to blind and visually impaired students. That issue was resolved in March when the federation announced it would collaborate on improvements to Amazon’s educational content and platforms. Though a $30 million deal in the publishing industry is not huge, it’s large for the textbook and education market, said Mike Shatzkin, CEO of The Idea Logical Co., a digital publishing consulting group. The real news is that Amazon is taking only a 10% to 15% commission on each sale, he said.

Though it’s not known what the mix of textbooks and regular books will be in the Amazon deal, that commission rate is significantly lower than what typically is given. Books published by commercial publishers for general readers pay 50% of the list price to the retailer that sells them, while the biggest publishing houses pay 30%, Shatzkin said. The biggest unanswered question is whether each book can be used by more than one student, Shatzkin said. Though the sale isn’t big enough to change the percentage of the education market Amazon holds, it is an important milestone because New York City is a major test bed. “This could be the first of hundreds of such deals for Amazon,” Shatzkin said.

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

The stock market finally went down Thursday, and it was the socalled safe stocks that offered the least protection on a day the Dow retreated 114 points and back below 18,000 and the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 declined 0.5%, slipping below the key 2,100 level. One-time leaders — such as stocks that pay out plump dividends, as well as stocks in the utility, telecommunications and consumer staples sectors — all took it on the chin. The Dow Jones utilities index fell more than 2%, its U.S. telecommunications index dipped almost 3% and the Dow consumer goods index shed about 1%. Ironically, the move out of socalled defensive stocks could ac-

tually be a bullish sign, as it suggests investors are rotating out of these increasingly expensive dividend-paying stocks and into more so-called economically sensitive sectors, such as materials and industrials. Investors are also moving back into beaten-down sectors, such as financials and energy. “After dominating returns for much of 2016 thus far, the dividend trade has paused over the last few weeks,” the technical analyst team at Strategas Research Partners told clients in a report. “Consumer staples,” they added, “are also consolidating, likely a reflection of this change as well.” A continued move away from defensive names and into socalled bull market stocks and sectors would be a bullish sign. But the jury’s out on whether this market rotation has legs.

Measure helps investors gauge driving profit Q: Why is return on capital important? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: With thousands of stocks to choose from, investors need to size up companies to find the top-performing ones. Return on capital is a way to do this. Return on capital is a financial ratio that allows investors to quickly see how much profit the company is driving from the money that has been entrusted to it by stock investors and bond holders. The measure is relatively simple to calculate for most companies and can be compared with peers and industry averages. Return on capital typically is measured by dividing a company’s earnings before interest and depreciation, or EBIT, by the sum of the company’s common and preferred stock value plus debt. Most investors also adjust EBIT by a typical corporate tax rate of 37.5%. The higher a company’s return on capital, the more profit it is driving out of the money plowed into the business. More advanced online financial websites, and brokerage sites, will provide return on capital on various stocks. Reuters.com, for instance, provides the statistic but calls it ROI, or return on investment. Cisco Systems (CSCO) has a return on capital or ROI of 11.8, says Reuters.com. That’s higher than the 3.4 ROI of the communications industry and in line with the 11.9 ROI of the technology sector.

Microsoft results show growth elusive in post-PC market Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

The cloud may be the future, but the specter of the PC lingers. Microsoft is the latest tech giant whose earnings say that loud and clear. Microsoft on Thursday posted substantial drops in revenue and earnings as it continues to navigate from its legacy PC business into emerging technologies, a day after chipmaker Intel announced a 11% workforce reduction. The Redmond, Wash.-based SAN FRANCISCO

DAN HIMBRECHTS, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

company reported a 6% decline in fiscal third-quarter revenue to $20.5 billion. Earnings of $3.8 billion, or 47 cents per share, fell 25% in the same quarter a year ago. Microsoft reported adjusted earnings of 62 cents per share,

shy of analyst estimates. The news drove down Microsoft shares 4% in after-hours trading to $53.18. A consensus of analyst reports from S&P Global Market Intelligence anticipated revenue of $22.1 billion and earnings per share of 64 cents. Microsoft’s Q3 revenue guidance was $21.1 billion to $22.3 billion. The quarterly miss comes as the software giant continues to pursue its years-long gambit to transform itself from a licensefee-focused enterprise closely tied to personal computers to a major play in cloud services, vir-

tual reality, gaming and emerging technologies. But Microsoft’s future remains unclear after nearly a decade of struggles underscored by declining PC unit shipments. The slowly eroding PC market and tightening IT budgets have punctured revenue for Microsoft and others globally. Sagging PC sales were a major reason why Intel is slashing 12,000 jobs and IBM registered its 16th consecutive quarter of declining sales. Microsoft said revenue from Windows software licenses dipped 2% during the March quarter, outperforming the over-

all PC market. Its cloud business, which includes Azure and server software, rose 3% to $6.1 billion in revenue in the quarter. Office 365, its subscriptionbased suite of productivity services, passed 70 million monthly users. And HoloLens, the company’s space-age holographic computer goggles, has wowed analysts and spurred interest among consumers and corporations such as Volvo and NASA. Windows 10 is Microsoft’s fastest-spreading Windows operating system, with more than 270 million installations on computing devices.

1 hour, 52 minutes

2 hours, 33 minutes

1 hour, 39 minutes

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

The Jungle Book

Rating: R Upside: The film entertainingly embraces while also satirizing the superhero movie genre. Downside: It’s so completely bonkers that the movie slows down considerably when things aren’t crazy. .

A$AP Ferg shines on potent, star-filled ‘Prosper’ It’s about time you got to know A$AP Ferg. The Harlem rapper, a member of hip-hop collective REVIEW A$AP Mob, has had PATRICK a consistently strong RYAN output ever since his promising, if not revelatory, debut Trap Lord in 2013, which included street singles Work and Shabba. And yet, despite high-profile features for Ariana Grande (Hands on Me) and Haim (My Song 5), the 27-year-old hasn’t enjoyed the crossover success of his longtime friend A$AP Rocky, who scored his second No. 1 album in At. Long. Last. A$AP last summer. (By comparison, Ferg’s Trap Lord started at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart, while he has never had a solo single reach higher than No. 97 on the Hot 100). But with any luck, Ferg will finally get due recognition when sophomore effort Always Strive and Prosper (eeeg out of four) is released Friday. With the kind of stacked roster of guest artists and producers we’ve come to expect from Kanye West or Big Sean, Prosper continually surprises as Ferg freely dips in and out of styles, ranging from ’90s house music (Strive, featuring Missy Elliott and producer DJ Mustard) to frenetic EDM (Hungry Ham, a shockingly delicious Skrillex joint). The album’s breezy, boisterous first half brims with potential hits. An easy favorite is New Level, which already has the makings of viral success thanks to fans’ voracious streaming, and finds the rapper charting his rise from itchy

motel beds and ramen noodles to new jewels and red carpets, topped off with an Auto-Tuned hook by Future. Although more aggressive in tone, Yammy Gang and Swipe Life are similarly swaggering, while the latter features one of Rick Ross’ strongest verses in recent memory. But when Ferg lets down his guard is when Prosper truly soars. The record is in many ways a family affair, with heartfelt odes to his uncle (the jazz-inspired Psycho, co-produced by Clams Casino) and late grandmother (album closer Grandma). He even lets his mom step in for a spokenword section of Beautiful People, a thoughtful reflection on bettering one’s community and self, with assistance from Public Enemy’s Chuck D. A$AP Yams’ pervasiveness is felt throughout the album, too, as Ferg pays tribute to the late A$AP Mob founder, who died last year of an accidental drug overdose. (“Up in heaven, Yamborgini, know my brother see me,” he raps on New Level. “I’ma make my bro proud.”) Rap and R&B heavyweights including Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign, Big Sean and Schoolboy Q all drop in for memorable guest spots throughout the album’s sprawling 18 tracks (not including two bonus songs with Migos and French Montana). But nobody manages to steal the spotlight from Ferg on the star-making Prosper, proving that he deserves the breakthrough success his album title suggests. Download: Strive, Psycho, World is Mine

Longtime vacuum center changing hands

he main thing I know about vacuum cleaners is they make a lot of noise when I’m trying to watch a ballgame on TV (and that they sometimes get thrown at me when I make comments like that.) So, I may not be the best person to pass along vacuum cleaner news, but I have some nonetheless. Steve Pinegar of Lawrence Vacuum and Sewing Center has sold the business after 40 years in Lawrence. The business has changed names but is still in its same location at 1449 W. 23rd St. The store is now called Midwest Vacuums, and is part of a small chain based in Kansas City. “Steve has done such a wonderful job with this business,” said Sarah Degondea, owner of Midwest Vacuums. “We were looking to open a store in Overland Park. The day we were ready to sign the lease, Steve called us and said he wanted to retire, and he didn’t want to sell the store to anybody but us.” This is the third store for Midwest Vacuums, with the others in the Waldo district of Kansas City and in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The store sells all types of vacuums, including uprights, canisters, central vacuums, and something called backpack vacuums. (That’s odd. My son’s backpack looks like it has a science project growing in it, but we just use a regular vacuum on it.) The store also sells steam mops, air purifiers, and a host of cleaning and vacuuming accessories. A big part of the store’s business is vacuum clean-

er repair. Degondea said the business repairs all brands of vacuum cleaners. She said often times customers who bring in vacuums for repairs eventually become the customers who buy new vacuums from her store. She said that’s how small vacuum shops have been able to stay in business despite big box retailers getting into the vacuum selling game. “Our main customer is typically the customer who is tired of buying cheap vacuums and having them repaired,” Degondea said. “They sit down and do a little research and find out there are other options out there.” The Lawrence store also continues to sell some sewing machines, but Degondea said she hasn’t made a decision about whether that will be a long-term part of the business. Her Kansas City stores do not sell sewing machines. She said Pinegar is working with the store part time to handle the sewing machine part of the business.

An organized kitchen can help sell a house

ne of the first rooms buyers notice in a potential new house is the kitchen. While it would be nice if a seller could invest in kitchen upgrades or a décor re-do to help entice buyers, remodeling is not always in the budget. However, a wellorganized kitchen has a lot of appeal. Also, keep in mind that house hunters will often open cabinets and drawers, so you want these spaces looking neat and tidy. The first step is to purge your cabinets of all unnecessary items. Buyers want to see there is plenty of storage in the kitchen. Clutter conflicts with that image. Besides, you’ll be doing this anyway when you pack to move, so just think of it as getting a head start. Do you have a cabinet full of plastic cups from ballgames, concerts and other events? Pack up the ones you can’t part with and get rid of the rest. The same goes for the junk drawer found in almost every kitchen. Throw out what you don’t use and pack up the rest. In fact, pack up everything you can live without until you move into your new home. Less is more when it comes to making cabinets look

Ten shot putters ready for show The buzz starts a day early, when pedestrians stop on sidewalks and watch city workers build the shot-put sector on Eighth Street between Vermont and New Hampshire. Everyone who sees it spreads the word that the behemoths are back in town, ready to super-charge another night in front of a big, boisterous crowd. The sixth annual Lawrence Downtown Shotput is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. today, and as usual, the friendly giants, past and future Olympians, want those who crowd the sidewalks to quickly become the antigolf gallery, the louder the better. The competitors feed off the energy the way they fed off 32-ounce steaks Thursday night. Adrenaline ping pongs back and forth between the competitors and spectators, all crammed into one city block. “This is one of the best events of the year,” said Tim Nedow, a Canadian who is one of the six men in the 10-man field ranked in the top 10 in the world. “Every time I come here it gets bigger and bigger and gets more attention. It’s so fun to come to this event. It helps me throw far because I get motivated and excited. It’s what I train for. I don’t want to train and then go to a track and no one’s there and you’re so far away from people. It’s hard to get pumped up for that. Here, for every throw all eyes are on you, music’s playing, everything’s perfect for you to throw far.” And throw far the competitors do every year. In each of the first five years of the event, the winner surpassed 70 feet. Inaugural winner Dylan Armstrong is the only one not in this year’s field. Reese Hoffa (2012), Ryan Whiting (2013) and Christian Cantwell (2014, 2015) and O’Dayne Richards of Jamaica, ranked No. 3 in the world, will gun for the crown. And don’t discount Nedow, who sounded extremely fired up for the event. “I’m in good shape,” Nedow said. “I’ve been training pretty hard and it’s going really well. I’m not coming here to get second. I’ll try to win. You never know.” Street shotput events have taken the athletes from forgotten men in the middle of the infield as runners circle the track to down-to-earth giants lionized by city dwellers. “It’s such a great event,” Nedow said. “And there are a couple of more cities that are doing it. I was at one in Croatia last year that was super fun. I did it in Finland last year. It was super fun. Every year here gets more fun.” This year’s field is a difficult one to forecast. For one thing, it’s loaded. For another, Cantwell, two-time defending champion, was slowed during offseason training by a hand injury and ankle injury.

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY POLE VAULTER JORDAN SCOTT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CROWD as he is introduced during the men’s street vault competition of the 89th Kansas Relays on Thursday night at the Salty Iguana parking lot.

Former KU vaulter Scott takes second By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Seven-time Big 12 pole vault champion Jordan Scott has traveled the world competing in track meets both big and small the past decade or so. “I’ve jumped in some crazy facilities and areas — streets, beaches, rooftops. This is just another walk in the park for me. It’s fun,” Scott, a 2011 Kansas University graduate from Watkinsville, Ga., said Thursday after adding “Lawrence, Kansas parking lot” to his life-long list of unusual vault locales. The 28-year-old Scott adapted quickly to his surroundings and cleared 17-81⁄2, good for a tie for second place (and $450 prize money) at the inaugural Kansas Relays street pole vault competition held in front of the Salty Iguana on the southwest corner of Sixth and Wakarusa.

FORMER KU VAULTER JORDAN SCOTT clears 17 feet. Former Air Force standout Joey Uhle took home $700 after clearing 18-01⁄2 and surviving a field of seven competitors. “The setup was good, but I had to get visually acquainted. It took me a while to get my depth perception down,” Scott said. “Luckily I did on my third (and final) attempt at that first height (17-03⁄4), then I was good to go. I made the next two bars (17-41⁄2,

17-81⁄2) on my first attempt. That was a season best for me.” Scott, whose career accomplishments include winning the 2010 NCAA Outdoor title and 2013 USA Indoor championships, said he was fired up competing before an enthusiastic crowd of about 800 fans. “It was really cool. The crowd was cheering for me. It was loud. It was energet-

ic,” Scott said. “I wore red and blue in my hair and wore my old KU jersey just to feel like I was the hometown favorite.” He shared second place with Mark Hollis and Jack Whitt, who competed collegiately at Olivet Nazarene and Oral Roberts respectively. Scott, who painted a blue stripe down the center of his head, with crimson on both sides, started dye-ing his hair various colors for meets, starting in 2010. It was to remind himself at all times that “having fun” should be his No. 1 priority each and every competition. “I’m doing really well. I’m finally healthy, things are starting to click,” said Scott. “I’m excited for this outdoor season and my chance of making the Olympic team.” Scott caught a bad break Please see VAULT, page 3D

Funk, Free State blank Leavenworth Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Most of the time this spring, Free State High’s baseball team has gotten by on the strength of its pitching staff and the defense playing behind the stellar arms of senior starters Hunter Gudde and Trevor Munsch. Thursday against Leavenworth, the formula mostly stayed the same, but junior right-hander Aaron Funk stepped into the starring role on the mound, and he helped steer the Firebirds to a 2-0 home victory over the Pioneers. “It feels pretty great just to go along with the great pitching that Trevor and Hunter have,” Funk said after allowing just two hits and striking out six in four innings for the win, “and Please see KEEGAN, page 3D just to be the third threat.”

FSHS coach Mike Hill said Funk remains a “work in progress,” adding the junior displayed some of the tools that will make him successful as he found a groove with first-pitch strikes. “He’s got a real legitimate breaking ball,” Hill said of Funk. “When he introduced that it kind of caught them off guard and then allowed the fastball to do a little bit more.” The Firebirds (11-2) scored all the runs they needed in the bottom of the third, with three consecutive two-out singles. With senior Mikey Corbett, who led off with a perfect bunt single down the third-base line, 90 feet away from home, sophomore Kyle Abrahamson drove him in on a single to right field. After Gudde, who went 3-for-3, kept the inning alive, junior

Firebirds 11th, Lions 12th at FSHS Invite By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

In the first three golf tournaments of the season, Lawrence High junior Cole Brungardt has posted the lowest score on the team. Thursday was no different when Brungardt carded his best score of the season at the Free State Invitational at Eagle Bend. Brungardt, who shot a five-over par 77, focused on improving throughout the offseason, and it didn’t take long to see the improved version of his game. After opening the round with a par on the ninth hole, he had a double bogey on No. 10. “In the past, he would’ve gone, par, double and gone in the tank,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “Now he’s mature. He knows he’s a leader.” Instead of letting a bad start become worse, Brungardt followed with a birdie on No. 11. After that, he mostly settled in and finished strong with a 37 on the front nine. His play helped the Lions finish 12th in the 22-team tournament with 329

strokes. Free State took 11th with 322. Brungardt’s improved play started with a changed mindset. He used to try to overpower the golf course with big drives. Now, he’s trying to set himself up for more manageable yardage, especially for his wedges. “I was able to get comfortable and in my zone,” Brungardt said. “I played the back nine first and I didn’t play the best but I still managed to shoot 40. Then I came to the front side and hit eight of the nine greens in regulation. So on a day where my putting really wasn’t that solid, being able to hit so many greens kept me in there.” Brungardt, who only plays a handful of times at Eagle Bend each year, said his biggest improvement is through his putting — though it didn’t always show Thursday. He replaced every club from last season, except for his putter and the familiarity has paid off. “I’ve improved so much from last year,” Brungardt said. “I’ve become more consistent.

FREE STATE GOLFER JACK FLYNN TEES OFF at Eagle Bend during the Free State High School Invitational on Thursday. I’ve really changed a lot of my game. But I still just haven’t had that one round where everything clicks. I’m playing well, but I can still play a lot better.” After Brungardt, LHS senior Dawson Dykes shot an 82, junior Garrett Wildeman carded an

84 and sophomore Ross Brungardt finished with an 86. “We’re starting to bunch it the way we’ve got to do it,” Wedd said. “I’d like to have back about five three-foot putts. But overall, we’re starting to figure it out a little bit.”

Free State junior Jack Junge led the Firebirds with a 77, finding his rhythm on the first four holes of the back nine. He shot three straight pars and birdied on No. 13. But just as quickly as Junge started clicking, he had a bogey on the following three holes.

“My driving was very good,” Junge said. “I was hitting a lot of fairways. I just struggle on making short putts and it cost me.” Free State coach Chuck Law added: “Jack is a very good player. We’ve counted his score in all four tournaments we’ve played in. He’s certainly been our most consistent performer all year. He’s another kid who just needs to have more faith in himself. He has a lot of game.” Free State’s Will Cook shot an 80, Jack Flynn finished with an 82 and Landon Berquist had an 83. But the Firebirds, who won the first leg of the Sunflower League tournament on April 4, know they are capable of shooting better than they did Thursday. “That’s not a very good score for us,” Law said. “We’ve got guys who are capable of playing a lot better than they played today. It was a tough field. If we think we’re going to compete with the upper echelon schools in the state, we’re going to have to play better.”

‘Mook’ keeps getting better By Tom Keegan Twitter:@TomKeeganLJW

For golfers, the lower they score, the more difficult it is to show significant improvement in their scores. Golfers get better, then worse, then better. The steps forward m i g h t outdo the regressions, but it’s never a steady forward march. T h e n a g a i n , never say Kawinpakorn never. Yupaporn Kawinpakorn, senior superstar for the Kansas University women’s golf team, defies all norms when it comes to making herself better. Kawinpakorn set the KU record for average score as a freshman, broke it as a sophomore, again as a junior and again this season, when she has made her biggest leap yet. Her average scores from freshman season through now: 75.42, 74.46, 73.35, 71.23. As impressive as the 2.12-stroke improvement is, it ranks just second in significance to another way she has made herself

a better golfer. “Mook,” the nickname all teammates and coaches use to address her, has made that monumental leap from consistently contending to closing the deal to win. A native of Thailand, Kawinpakorn had won one tournament, as a freshman, in her first three seasons at KU. She has entered nine this season and has won five tournaments. Mook guns for a sixth 2016 tournament title this weekend at the Big 12 championship at Dominion Country Club in San Antonio. After that, it’s on to the NCAA regionals, where she will compete as an individual, unless KU’s team pulls off the upset of the century and wins the Big 12 team title. Kawinpakorn’s remarkable improvement comes in part from working on her short game, gaining a little distance from getting stronger in the weight room and refining her putting stroke. Yet, the biggest leap forward, she said, has taken place between the ears. “My mental game before was not in poor condition, but not in great condition,” she said. “I feel like if I stick with

the process, that process will take me wherever I want to go. Whenever I take the lead I need to keep my head down and focus on shot by shot and not thinking about other people’s score. I’m getting better at that.” Mook said she has taken advantage of the sports psychologist provided by the athletic department, but added, “Mostly I talk to Josh. He’s my personal shrink.” That would her swing coach, Josh Nahm, head of instruction at Firekeeper and husband of KU assistant women’s golf coach Katy Nahm, who handles most of the recruiting for the program. Head coach Erin O’Neil lauded Mook for having a terrific attitude that rubs off on younger players. “I think probably the most significant improvement we’ve seen in her is in her course management, how she manages her emotions and some of the decisions she makes under pressure,” O’Neil said. Mook has performed so well under par that when Golfweek’s updated college golf rankings were released, she appeared at No. 8, seven spots behind UCLA’s Bronte Law.

BRIEFLY LHS baseball falls to O-East

LHS softball splits in Olathe

Olathe — Lawrence High’s baseball team rallied from an early three-run deficit but fell to Olathe East, 7-6 in eight innings, Thursday night. The Lions, who trailed 3-0 after one inning and 5-2 after four, tied the game in the fifth on Colton Lovelace’s two-run single. “The bottom line is we didn’t get a good start to the game,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “We got behind 3-0, and that’s ultimately what killed us. We fought like crazy to get back into the game. I was pleased with the way we swung the bats all night. But we came out of the gate a little slow, and that was a little disappointing.” The Lions (7-6) will be on the road to face Shawnee Mission West on Monday.

Olathe — Lawrence High’s softball team split its two games in the Sunflower Jamboree on Thursday, but ended the day with a walk-off victory. The Lions (4-6) won, 6-5, against Blue Valley North in their second game of the day with two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. After Audrina Hidalgo scored on an error, Megan Williams hit the game-winning single, scoring Sami Mills. Lawrence lost, 10-7, against Topeka earlier in the afternoon. Sophie Taylor hit a solo home run and Mills drove in three runs. The Lions will face Great Bend and Blue Valley West on Saturday.

his sophomore year at KU when he advanced to the 2008 Olympic Trials finals, but strained his hamstring warming up and had to scratch. In 2012 he was one of five to acheive the A-Olympic standard. He again made the Trials finals, but bowed out after three jumps. “It was four years of training gone real quick. I’ve got to try to not make the same mistake twice,” Scott said. He has been asking for financial help as he tries to clear the A-standard (18-8) the next two months and secure a spot in his third Olympic Trials.

Jacob Pavlyak knocked in Abrahmson with a single to left. “We have a lot of faith and trust in our pitching,” Abrahamson said. “We try to do our job with the offense.” Effective as Funk was versus Leavenworth (94), Hill elected to re-visit Gudde in a closing role, something the Firebirds

My decision (to quit job) was the best thing I could have done. It made myself realize how much I’m putting out there on the line to make this Olympic team. It puts it in perspective. I’ve been dreaming of this for years, trying to make the Olympic team. Then when you have to make a decision like that you are like, ‘This is real. I’m going all in.’ When you have a wife (Julia) who supports you through all that it’s amazing. You feel loved.

What’s more, Hill said the coaches have etched out a plan that will allow Gudde to mix in starts with relief appearances. “There’s just so many intangibles,” Hill said, “you look for in a closer — of course, at the high school level that could be three innings — competitiveness, the ability to field your position, strikethrower. All those things, that’s him.”

As the defending Class 6A state champions eye the postseason, the next step is, well, scoring more. “We’ve been asking an awful lot of our pitching and defense,” Hill said after FSHS left 10 runners on base in six innings, “and we have been solid, obviously, in both areas. But we all need to pick up offensively in order to be a complete team.”

It turned out the Royals’ centerfielder had been shading Upton toward right field. It also turned out not to matter. Volquez saw the blur of left-fielder Alex Gordon tracking it down at the warning track, laying out to make a diving grab on the dirt. The highlight catch by the perennial Gold Glove candidate helped Volquez go seven scoreless innings in Kansas City’s 4-0 victory over Detroit on Thursday night. “That was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen him make,” said Volquez, who scattered five hits and a walk while striking out five. “That was good for me.” Volquez (3-0) retired the first eight batters and only had to wiggle out of one jam, when Alcides Escobar let a grounder go through his legs in the fourth inning.

steal turned into an error on third baseman Nick Castellanos that allowed a run to scamper home. Pelfrey allowed all four runs — three of them earned — on eight hits and five walks in five innings “I take the blame,” said Pelfrey, who has struggled with command all season. “It’s my fault. It’s unacceptable. I need to be a lot better. I need to figure it out pretty fast. It’s embarrassing.”
