Multicultural student fee vetoed Chancellor’s action puts future of independent student group in doubt

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has vetoed a $2 student fee funding a separate Multicultural Student Government, leaving the future of such an organization in doubt.

The Student Senate

had voted March 9 in favor of the fee.

In a letter sent to the Student Senate on Wednesday, Gray-Little said she could not recommend the fee to the Kansas Board of Regents because “the

separate multicultural government for which the fee was created does not exist, nor will the separate government be developed for 2016-2017, the year for which the fee is intended.”

that the independent student government proposed ... is not an optimal way to achieve the goals we have for diversity and inclusion at the university and, indeed, may lead to greater divisiveness,” she wrote.

Gray-Little argued that KU university code prohibits “multiple independent groups representing a constituent group ... within University Senate.”

“Finally, I believe

KU, K-State join in protest of provision Open letter calls for Brownback line-item veto

A key moment in campus history

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The heads of the state’s two largest universities are mounting a public relations push to urge Gov. Sam Brownback to line-item veto a provision of the recently-passed state budget bill that would make their schools shoulder a larger share of a 3 percent cut to higher education.

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Gray-Little Kansas State University’s interim president Gen. Richard Myers sent an open letter this week to their schools’ alumni, urging them to contact the governor personally.

“We are asking Wildcat and Jayhawk supporters like you to contact Governor Brownback Myers and ask him to veto the Legislature’s harmful proviso that dictates where cuts are to be Please see PROTEST, page 2A

Officers shoulder a large responsibility within their position, which should extend to Khatib voiding tickets, Khatib said.

EOLA MAE STULL CASEY Funeral services for Eola Mae (Stull) Casey, 99, Berryton, KS, will be at 2 pm Saturday at the Stull United Methodist Church.

Burial will follow at the Stull Cemetery.

Mrs. Casey passed away peacefully at home May 3, 2016. She was a lifelong resident of the Stull community.

Born Oct 31, 1916, in Stull, KS, Eola was fourth of nine children to Matilda (Wulfkuhle) and Henry Stull. She married Emmett A. Casey on Jan 12, 1958 in Lawrence, sharing over 50 years of laughter, joy, and tears together. He preceded her in death Mar 5, 2009.

Eola, or Aunt Olie as she was affectionately called, received great joy from cooking for and spending time with family and friends—especially children, whether through her years of care giving for 24 families or visits from three generations of nieces and nephews. She enjoyed receiving company. Friends and family were often greeted with homemade treats like Angel food cake, apple pie, cinnamon rolls, or Bierocks and with tea parties for the children.

Eola was preceded in death by her parents; infant brother; and four sisters, Alberta Casey, Evelyn Stull, Geneva Stull, and Mary Ann Johanning.

made to higher education and unfairly places more of the burden on K-State and KU,” the letter stated.

Brownback initially ordered a 3 percent cut to each of the six universities in March, following lowerthan-expected tax collections in the month of February.

In April, after revenue estimators lowered their forecast for tax collections in the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1, Brownback proposed extending that cut into the new fiscal year.

That cut totals more than $17 million each year.

However, at the urging of Sen. Jake LaTurner, RPittsburg, whose district includes Pittsburg State University, Republican budget negotiators agreed during the wrap-up session to change the formula for allocating those cuts.

Instead of applying the $17 million cuts evenly — 3 percent to each institution — the bill calls for applying it in proportion to each

force,” he said. “So we’re talking about some pretty weighty things from the beginning. So I would hope that same kind of trust would translate into understanding when they should void a ticket or not.”

A recent review by the Journal-World discovered that since 2012 nearly 90 municipal court citations were voided by officers without proper approval from supervisors. In addition, more than 100 other tickets were canceled without following required procedures.

Khatib agreed that certain ticket voids did not follow the proper procedure, but said that upon further scrutiny they were voided for proper reasons.

Rather than diverting from the department’s policy maliciously, Khatib said, the errors were all made as a result of a “workflow issue” and efforts have been made within the department to correct those problems.

In response to the review, the department said it will now conduct an annual audit of the void and dismissal process, that it has created new forms to eliminate confusion and that officers have been trained in understanding the new system.

Previously, Khatib had not publicly commented on the review. He declined interview requests as part of the original Journal-World article and was unavailable for com-

that could stand “shoulder to shoulder” with the Student Senate. She noted Gray-Little’s letter cited the opinion of University Senate president Michael Williams as part of the reason for her veto. According to Carpenter, Williams recently told MSG leadership a change in the language of the bill that created the group — shifting it to a bicameral legislative body from an independent one — could resolve some of the objections raised in the letter.

“That is what we wanted all along — to be an equal body with the Student Senate,” Carpenter said. “This hurts, because we are the marginalized students who know

school’s “all funds” budget.

It also says the revised formula would apply both to this year’s cuts and next year’s.

That means KU and KState, each of which have large research budgets funded by federal and industry grants, would take cuts more than $1 million greater than under the current formula in both fiscal years.

The budget bill narrowly passed both chambers of the Legislature: 63-61 in the House and 22-18 in the Senate. Both senators and all four House members from Douglas County opposed the bill.

“This formula penalizes Kansas State University and the University of Kansas, whose all-funds budgets are higher because of our large research portfolios,” the letter stated. “In essence, this formula punishes K-State and KU for conducting research and successfully securing federal research grants that bring new dollars to Kansas.”

“Additionally, this formula defunds the two universities that collectively create the most graduates for the Kansas workforce, the most jobs, the most startup com-

panies, and the most economic development in Kansas,” the letter continued.

The letter from GrayLittle and Myers came on the heels of a statement that the Kansas Board of Regents issued immediately after passage of the bill, which argued that the Kansas Constitution puts the Regents in charge of supervising higher education.

“Managing the budgets of these complicated, missiondriven, institutions in a way that coordinates their efforts as a single system for the betterment of the state is without question a job that should be left to the Regents — not prescribed by the Legislature,” Regents chairman Shane Bangerter said.

LaTurner, a first-term senator who faces a potentially strong challenge in the 2016 elections, defended his request to change the formula, arguing that a flat 3 percent cut to all universities disproportionately affects the smaller schools that have fewer outside funding streams.

ment in a follow-up article.

After the review, City Manager Tom Markus said that, except in rare circumstances, he questioned whether police officers should have the ability to both issue and void municipal court citations.

With the exception of parking tickets and instances of mechanical malfunctions, Markus said that perhaps the dismissal of all other municipal citation should be handled entirely by the city’s court system.

Such a change would bring Lawrence in line with some other police departments in the region. Topeka and Olathe, for example, only allow city prosecutors to void tickets. Other than on rare occasions, generally related to equipment malfunctions, officers in those communities cannot cancel tickets themselves.

The Journal-World review found citations in Lawrence were being voided without proper supervisor approval. As part of the review, the police department found 88 void and dismissal forms that were misplaced in a lockbox. The citations were voided, even though the forms were not approved by a police supervisor, which is required by department policy. Some of the forms had been unsigned for years by the time the department discovered the error. The review also found that in more than 100 instances, police officers filled out the wrong forms, creating questions about whether proper approvals had been granted. Voided

citations ranged anywhere from parking tickets and speeding tickets to more serious offenses like battery and public urination.

Changes made within the department following the review are meant to prevent procedural errors in the future, Khatib said. And officer should be able to maintain the ability to void tickets because it helps to improve interactions within the community, he added.

“The ability to void a ticket is important from a customer service standpoint,” he said.

Aside from mechanical malfunctions, Khatib described different scenarios where officers may need to void a ticket. One, where an officer is writing a parking ticket and the car’s driver rushes outside saying he will move the car. And another, where an officer issues a ticket for a driver not having insurance, only for the driver to find her proof of insurance moments later.

“There are a lot of those kinds of things that occur and I don’t know that in those particular situations we’re going to want to say ‘well, here’s the ticket and here’s the process you have to go through to dismiss this,’” he said.

Khatib also cited a fear of possible workflow issues with the municipal court’s void process if it’s charged with the sole responsibility of voiding tickets.

n some ways, a college degree is just a piece of paper. In other ways, it’s an access pass.

Lolita Ceja’s path to receiving hers — a somewhat zig-zagging path — started with a goal of getting that paper and became what she hopes will be a stepping stone to bigger things.

She’s heard the saying that a bachelor’s degree gets you in the building, a master’s degree gets you in the

room and a doctorate or professional degree gets you a seat at the table.

“I now know that I want to be at the table,” she said.

Ceja is set to graduate this week with a bachelor’s degree in American Indian Studies from Haskell Indian Nations University. She’s this year’s Haskell Student of the Year and will be one of the featured speakers at Friday’s commencement ceremony on the Haskell campus.

Some of those bills, like the complete update and overhaul of the state’s corporation laws, are probably very important to a lot of people, but most of us can live our lives peacefully without worrying too much about them.

Then there’s the category of bills that often leaves people wondering why any state legislature is even spending time on them and, moreover, why they stirred so much controversy and debate.

Take, for example, House Bill 2059 ... which included, among other things, an act to name a bison herd at the Mined Land Wildlife Area in Crawford County as the Bob Grant Bison Herd.

Bills naming things after people — former lawmakers, governors, military veterans, local dignitaries — are fairly routine, and they generally pass unanimously as a matter of courtesy to the lawmaker or outside group requesting them.

But that wasn’t the case with the Bob Grant Bison Herd, to be named after the late southeast Kansas Democrat who served 20 years in the House before he retired in 2013. He died in December 2015.

What made it controversial is the fact that Grant’s widow, Lynn Grant, is now a Democratic candidate for the state Senate, challenging incumbent Sen. Jake LaTurner, R-Pittsburg.

And so when the bill emerged as part of a conference committee report, and the effective date of the act had been moved back to Jan. 1, 2017 — so that the ceremony

the new space and create a maintenance endowment, The Salina Journal reported.

“We are really, really excited to be at the forefront of all this,” said Tom Martin, executive director of the foundation.

Since opening a Salina campus in July 2011, the medical school has been housed in the Braddick Building at the Salina Regional Health Center. The Braddick Building was constructed about 50 years ago to serve as a nursing school

dormitory. Over the past year, it has started to have maintenance issues with pipes, drainage and its roof, Martin said.

Currently, eight students are accepted each year into the Salina program, which is billed as the smallest of its kind in North America.

The new building will provide 40,251 square feet of space, much larger than the 16,000-square-foot at the Braddick Building.

Dr. William Cathcart-Rake,

dean of the KU School of Medicine-Salina Campus, said the larger space “will allow us the possibility to expand the class size,” although there are no promises being made that student enrollment will grow. He said more money and faculty also would be needed.

“Currently, state funding is in a world of hurt, and higher education will share in the budget reductions,” CathcartRake said. “It’s difficult to increase programming or the

class load when your resources for medical education are decreased.”

But Martin said expansion of the program would be beneficial to the state. He said currently significantly more students apply to medical school than can be accepted.

“Many who are not selected could do very well if we had the resources to educate and accommodate them,” he said.

“They would make great doctors.”

from Mexico. Her mother was 15 and he was 17 when they married, Ceja said, and she arrived soon after.

Ceja is the oldest of six siblings, and the first generation of her family to go to college.

She excelled in school, earned good grades, participated in extracurricular activities and was the captain of more than one sports team. But it was a couple years after high school before she decided to go to college.

“The expectation of post-secondary education was not a requirement,” she said. “It wasn’t about what you do; it was about who you are, your honor, your values.”

Ceja went to her first year of college in Alabama but moved home

to Washington after her grandfather became sick, to help care for him. He died two years later, but Ceja stayed in Washington several more years.

She was working for one of the public school districts on the reservation, as a site director for the federal GEAR UP program, and was an assistant varsity basketball coach at one of the high schools.

She said others urged her to go back to school, but she’d gotten “sucked in” to her job. After several years, her salary had risen and she was living comfortably. At the same time, she said, she’d had to bypass a few other professional opportunities when the people contacting her realized she didn’t have a degree.

“I realized that no matter how hard I worked … when it comes down to it, mainstream society cares about one thing, and that’s a degree,” Ceja said.

“As much as they saw the hours I put in, they felt I was undeserving because I didn’t have that piece of paper.”

So she went back.

“I knew I had to do it,” she said.

At Haskell, where Ceja has been involved in numerous organizations and leadership roles, Ceja said she felt like everyone was “family” even though fellow students and employees come from tribes from coast to coast.

“No matter where you’re at in Indian Country,” she said, “a lot of our struggles are the same.”

Last summer Ceja interned with the U.S. Department of the Interior, and this summer she’ll be working at the American Indian Records Repository storage area in Lenexa.

Next, Ceja hopes to apply to the Kansas University School of Law and Oklahoma University’s master of legal studies program, with the eventual goal of learning skills she can use to help Indian Country, particularly back home in Washington where water rights issues are “huge.”

“I’m definitely passionate about water rights and environmental law,” she said. “I’d love to give back to my tribe.”

ize CR 1055 starts in 2018.

However, another well-used Vinland Valley route will be closed starting in June.

Browning said a section of County Road 458 in the Vinland Valley will be closed for an estimated four months as a bridge over Coal Creek is replaced. After heavy rains, water frequently overtops the bridge a quarter mile east of East 1700 Road, Browning said.

Barricades are slated to go up June 6 for the start of construction.

There are no big road construction projects on the scale of last year’s improvements to CR 1055 from Vinland to Baldwin City, Browning said. The county’s next big roadway project will be next year’s reconstruction of CR 458 from CR 1 north of Lone Star to North 1200 Road.

The project is to upgrade the section to modern design standards and will involve the addition of paved shoulders, flattening of roadway slopes, replacement of narrow culverts,

realignment of curves and pavement resurfacing.

It is now proposed the county will return to CR 1055 starting in 2018 with a series of projects, which will modernize the road from Lawrence to Baldwin City.

The first of those is now scheduled for 2018 and involves the reconstruction of CR 1055 from the Wakarusa bridge south 1.5 miles to its western intersection with CR 458, Browning said. That project, too, will add shoulders to what is

now a narrow road with steep ditches.

Additional projects on CR 1055 are proposed for 2019 to 2020, Browning said. The one-mile section shared by CR 458 and CR 1055 is to be reconstructed with some of the section’s steep hills graded. Work to improve an about 3.5-mile section of CR 1055 north of Vinland would follow, Browning said.

This (bill that deals with body parts of illegally killed animals found on private property) should have been included in the Alvarez & Marsal efficiency study, for all the time and energy we spend on it.”

But last year, the Derby school district changed its policy, citing the Kansas Weapons Free Schools Act, which not only prohibits firearms in schools but mandates a one-year expulsion of any student who violates the law.

A majority of lawmakers, though, viewed this as not just an overreach by the schools — strictly speaking, air guns are not firearms — but also a Second Amendment issue.

And so, in the closing days, it was bundled together with a number of concealed carry bills, including one that makes it a little easier for city councils, county commissions and other governing boards to ban guns from inside their chambers during meetings, without necessarily banning them from the building entirely.

The bill also includes a provision, though, that protects the right of public employees who work outside a government building — meter readers, building inspectors, etc. — to carry concealed handguns with them on the job.

From Douglas County, Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, voted for the bill. Democratic Reps.

Barbara Ballard, Boog Highberger and John Wilson, and Democratic Sen. Marci Francisco voted against it. Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, was recorded present but not voting.

couldn’t be conducted until after the election — Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley came unhinged.

In a furious speech on the floor of the Senate, Hensley called the change “despicable” and a lot of other adjectives, and he openly accused the conference committee of making the change solely for political purposes in order to protect a freshman senator who is facing a potentially strong challenge.

Of course, it didn’t go unnoticed that passage of the bill in its original form also would have provided a nice political photo op for Lynn Grant when the new “Bob Grant Bison Herd” sign would be dedicated right in the middle of the campaign season. But there was no open discussion of that on the floor.

Hensley tried unsuccessfully to send the bill back to the conference committee to move the effective date to the original language, its publication in the statute book. And in the end, Hensley was called out by 26 Republican senators who made a belated point of order, noting that Robert’s Rules of Order forbid members from attacking or questioning “the motives of anther member.”

Oddly, the Bob Grant Bison Herd provision was inserted into a conference report that had previously been rejected and sent back by the Senate because of concerns about the two other bills contained in the package: one allowing commercial zoos, namely the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, to offer limited public contact with dangerous animals, such as baby panthers; and another authorizing research into the industrial uses of hemp.

The bill also sets out standards for someone to become a “certified nurse midwife” and would allow the individual, beginning Jan. 1, to engage in a limited scope of practice independently, without having to have a collaborative agreement with a licensed physician and surgeon.

That bill almost failed when, on Friday, House members objected to a provision that had been inserted but that had never been considered by either chamber and was never discussed in regular committee hearings: a ban on midwives performing abortions.

That language managed to stay in the bill anyway, and on its second trip through the chambers it passed the Senate, 40-0, and the House, 115-7.

All members of the Douglas County delegation voted in favor of the bill.

That, interestingly, was the only bill considered in the 2016 session dealing directly with abortion, an issue that has dominated most sessions since the early 1990s.

The only other one that came close, Senate Bill 248, puts into statute what lawmakers have inserted as a proviso in every budget bill since 2011, a requirement that federal family planning money be distributed first to public health clinics before any can be given to private clinics such as Planned Parenthood.

That bill passed the House, 87-34, and the Senate, 32-8. It was opposed by all six legislators from Douglas County.

Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding cut off

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Two Planned Parenthood affiliates filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday over a decision by Kansas to cut off Medicaid reimbursements to the abortion provider that was largely based on allegations lodged against its affiliates in other states.

The lawsuit filed by the Planned Parenthood affiliate for Kansas and Mid-Missouri and another for the St. Louis region came only a day after the state Department of Health and Environment sent a letter to the Kansas and Mid-Missouri organization that its Medicaid funding would be cut off as of next week.

Affiliates file federal suit over state’s decision Documents obtained

by The Associated Press through an open records request show that KDHE first informed the affiliate in March that it planned to end its status as a Medicaid provider. The group had the right to challenge the decision and an administrative hearing was held last week, without overturning it.

A March 10 letter from a state official cited a dispute over an inspection of clinic in Overland Park, but also noted allegations lodged against affiliates in Oklahoma and Texas.

Federal courts have blocked attempts to cut off Medicaid funding for

Planned Parenthood in other states, including Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Utah.

“All of the grounds for the termination for Medicaid are entirely bogus and unfounded,” said Laura McQuade, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is a Republican and vocal abortion opponent, and the state already has blocked the state’s Planned Parenthood affiliate from receiving about $370,000 a year in federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services.

Spokeswoman Cassie

Sparks said the state health department has not seen the lawsuit. The governor’s office did not respond to it, but earlier in the day, spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said Brownback pushed to cut off Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood “to protect the unborn and support a culture of life.”

Federal courts have blocked attempts to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood in several other states. Kansas is giving multiple reasons for cutting off the Kansas-Mid Missouri affiliate. The St. Louis affiliate is involved in the lawsuit because it has a Joplin, Mo., clinic that sees a few Kansas

Medicaid participants.

The health department official’s March 10 letter cited videos secretly recorded and released last year by an anti-abortion group that show Planned Parenthood officials elsewhere talking about the handling of fetal tissues. The letter said the Kansas-Mid-Missouri organization is affiliated with the national one and “abides by the medical and operational standards of the national organization.”

National Planned Parenthood officials contend the videos were selectively edited as part of a smear campaign, and the lawsuit calls them “discredited.”

Trial pushed back for man accused of violent robbery

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

The jury trial for the second of two men accused of a violent, armed robbery in June 2015 was pushed back more than three months.

Alex Caprice Sanders, 19, faces felony charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon.

Early in the morning of June 30, police responded to an apartment in the 2400 block of Ala-

bama Street for a robbery report, according to arrest affidavits filed in Douglas County District Court.

At the apartment Sanders and another man, Deshane Keonte Rayton, 21, entered at gunpoint, and Rayton hit a woman living there in the head with the weapon, according to the woman’s testimony during a January preliminary hearing.

The men allegedly stole marijuana, liquid phencyclidine, or PCP, drug paraphernalia, around $1,700 worth of electronics and a black duffel bag worth about $20.

The woman’s children — one 7 months old, the other 3 years old — were both asleep in the apartment during the incident, she said.

Neither child was injured.

The woman said Sanders and Rayton shut her in her bathroom and left through her back door.

Sanders was arrested in Topeka on Dec. 3 while Rayton had already been in the Douglas County Jail for the past five months, related to a failure to comply with court orders.

Rayton pleaded no contest to a single felony count of aggra-

vated burglary on April 6. Robbery, kidnapping and firearm charges were all dropped as a part of his plea agreement.

Rayton was sentenced on April 29 to serve a total of 114 months in prison and to pay $2,115.92 in restitution.

Sanders’ jury trial is now scheduled to begin Aug. 24 at 9 a.m. He is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bond.

Douglas County vet’s photo sought for Vietnam tribute

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

One Hawaii woman is out to change the face of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to honor those who died in the conflict.

And she needs help.

About six years ago Janna Hoehn and her husband, both residents of Maui, visited the memorial in Washington, D.C., and wrote down a single, random name off the wall, Hoehn said in an email.

The name belonged to Gregory John Crossman, a complete stranger.

Over the next few months Hoehn said she began researching Crossman and his family, searching

Since May 2013 Hoehn said she — with the help of many others — has collected nearly 3,000 photos. So far the Faces Never Forgotten organization has collected 46,000 photos and counting.

BRIEFLY Man, 22, critically injured in crash A 22-year-old man suffered critical injuries in a car-and-motorcycle collision Wednesday on Sixth Street.

Sgt. Ted Bordman of the Lawrence Police Department said the rider of the 2003 Yamaha motorcycle was taken by helicopter to Kansas University Hospital for treatment.

The collision occurred at about 7:15 p.m., when the eastbound motorcycle collided with a westbound 1988 Chevrolet Nova as its 44-year-old driver attempted a left turn at the intersection of Sixth and Maine streets, Bordman said.

Further information was pending an ongoing investigation, Bordman said.

Petition urges probe into elections office Wichita (ap) — More than 116,000 people have signed an online petition urging the inspector general to investigate what it calls voter suppression at a federal government agency entrusted with making voting more accessible.

The progressive advocacy group CREDO Action said it planned to deliver petition signatures Wednesday to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s Inspector General Patricia Layfield.

The commission referred any comment to Layfield, who said in an email that she had not yet received the petition. She said she was not willing to comment on any of her office’s existing or planned projects.

At issue is the unilateral action by Executive Director Brian Newby that without public notice required residents of Kansas, Alabama and Georgia to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote when using a federal form.

U.S. screens host more foreign fare While some want to build a wall to isolate the United States from the rest of the world, television has never been more international. More “foreign” series are appearing on our screens, and co-productions between American and international broadcasters have become more common.

Just this past Monday, Fox debuted “Houdini & Doyle,” a U.S.-U.K.-Canadian co-production. NBC’s Thursday night comedy, the U.K.-U.S. co-production “You, Me and the Apocalypse,” just completed. The History Channel’s “Vikings” is a Canadian-Irish production.

Americans have been watching Canadian imports for years, from the eternal high school saga “DeGrassi” to police procedurals “Flashpoint” on CBS and “Rookie Blue” on ABC. Time was, foreign language imports were a bridge too far for many U.S. audiences. Even huge hits abroad had to be remade, retranslated and recast with familiar American stars.

Films like “Three Men and a Baby,” which was a critical and commercial success in France before it was remade with Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson and Tom Selleck.

Those days are over. “The Returned” was a hit in France (as “Les Revenants”) and a critical sensation on Sundance.

It was subsequently turned into a rather disappointing Englishlanguage photocopy for A&E. While the French “Returned” is heading into its third headscratching season, A&E canceled its version after one.

That’s clearly a case of the subtitled version being preferable to its “Americanized” counterpart.

Today, Netflix begins streaming “Marseille,” an eight-part miniseries starring Gerard Depardieu as an aging mayor out to achieve his lifelong dream of bringing a casino to his city.

It will begin airing on French television later this month, after it begins its run on Netflix.

The Fannie and Freddie fiasco

EDITORIALS

Flexibility needed Lawrence should be careful to maintain the tax incentive flexibility it needs to be competitive with other cities in attracting new employers.

L

awrence city commissioners should be careful not to change the city’s economic incentive policy in ways that makes it difficult or impossible for Lawrence to take advantage of special opportunities to create jobs and add to the city’s tax base.

The commission is proposing a number of changes to the policies, including one that would cap tax rebates at 50 percent for 10 years, with some possible exceptions. In a meeting to review the proposed changes, some members of the Economic Development Council of Lawrence and Douglas County expressed concern that such a cap could cause desirable companies to eliminate Lawrence from consideration before the recruitment process even begins.

County Administrator Craig Weinaug is right that local economic development officials shouldn’t mislead potential businesses about the size of incentives they could receive. If city commissioners really won’t consider a tax rebate larger than 50 percent for 10 years, businesses should be told that, but, hopefully, commissioners will decide to draw a less rigid line.

During last year’s election campaign, several current commissioners decried the city’s overuse of tax incentives. At that time, much of the focus was on the tax incentives granted to a number of large residential projects in the city.

There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of apartments in Lawrence, and providing added incentives for developers to build more apartments admittedly is a questionable strategy.

However, providing incentives to businesses that will create more jobs in Lawrence and contribute to the city’s tax base is another matter. At the same time commission candidates were criticizing the use of tax incentives, they also acknowledged the need to add more local jobs. If, for instance, a major manufacturing business was interested in locating in Lawrence, would commissioners want that firm to cross Lawrence off its list because of an arbitrary cap on the tax incentives that might be available?

In the highly competitive economic development arena, it’s important for Lawrence to remain flexible enough to work with companies that would be strong assets to the community. It might be unusual for commissioners to grant more than a 50 percent tax rebate, but the city needs to be able to respond to an unusual opportunity for Lawrence.

Washington — Gigantic government’s complexity and opacity provide innumerable opportunities for opportunists to act unconstrained by clear law or effective supervision.

Today’s example, involving the government’s expropriation of hundreds of billions of dollars, features three sets of unsympathetic actors — a grasping federal government, a few hedge funds nimble at exploiting the co-mingling of government and the private sector, and two anomalous institutions that should never have existed.

The two are the “government-sponsored enterprises” (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This maddeningly complex story illustrates the toll the administrative state takes on the rule of law.

The two federally chartered but privately owned GSEs, which guarantee 80 percent of American mortgages, were created because Washington wanted to engineer — what could go wrong?

— more homeownership than market forces would produce.

What could go wrong did, and in 2008 the two GSEs floundered. In September 2008, the government rescued them with $187.5 billion and placed them in conservatorship, which is supposed to be temporary and rehabilitative.

A conserved entity should be returned to normal business in private ownership.

Fannie and Freddie have recuperated profitably. They also have been nationalized.

The government’s original rescue terms were for Fannie and Freddie to pay a stiff dividend on the bailout

“

This maddeningly complex story illustrates the toll the administrative state takes on the rule of law.” funds — 10 percent, amounting to $4.7 billion per quarter.

Then, however, the Treasury Department was told of the GSEs’ strong recoveries. According to recently unsealed documents, on Aug. 9, 2012, Treasury was told that the GSEs’ prospects were for strong profitability, requiring no further government assistance. Eight days later, Treasury negotiated with the GSEs’ conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), for an astounding revision (called “the third amendment”) of policy: Instead of the agreed-upon dividend, and already enjoying a right to 80 percent of the GSEs’ profits, the government would get 100 percent forever, far exceeding the size of the original bailout.

So, the government (Treasury) negotiated with itself (FHFA) to achieve a windfall for itself. And the conservator abandoned its duty to safeguard the assets of the entities in conservatorship.

The government claims it

changed the terms in order to avoid any need to give the GSEs additional funds to pay the 10 percent dividend on funds already received. This claim, however, is not credible, given what and when the government knew about the GSEs’ profitability.

After the government “negotiated” with itself for the GSEs’ profits, the value of their shares cratered. Some hedge funds bet that the government’s transformation of the GSEs into a revenue stream for itself would not survive judicial scrutiny.

They added to the GSEs’ shares they had bought before the “third amendment” when they mistakenly trusted the government to act properly as a conservator.

They purchased additional shares for pennies on the dollar.

Legal scrutiny has arrived in the form of lawsuits with enormous stakes. One hedge fund stands to make $7.5 billion if the government is found to have unconstitutionally taken private property without compensation.

A federal judge has sided with the federal government.

(See a pattern here?) He made the “utterly astounding” (New York University law professor Richard Epstein’s characterization) judgment — “without allowing any discovery about the underlying facts” (Epstein) — that a fiduciary (FHFA) can take private assets of the fiduciary’s supposed beneficiaries and transfer them to the government. Epstein expects a higher court “to decide that government conservators,

like private conservators, cannot loot the corporations whose shareholders they are sworn to protect.”

Many individuals and community banks invested in Fannie and Freddie in good faith and have been injured by the government’s profit confiscation. Granted, a few wealthy people would become more so from judicial invalidation of the “third amendment.” This, however, is at most an argument against creating the moral hazard inherent in GSEs. It is not an argument for allowing the anomalous nature of these institutions to justify lawless discretion by a government as self-interested as those who would profit from restraining the government with law.

After the Revolutionary War, many state debts were bought by speculators at steep discounts from the original purchasers, who feared that the states would not pay face value. The buyers, however, wagered correctly that the federal government would assume the debts and pay at par in order to establish the nation’s creditworthiness. Alexander Hamilton successfully argued for assumption. Thomas Jefferson and his allies reluctantly acquiesced in exchange for a more southern location for the nation’s new capital.

Which is why Washington is where it is. Fannie’s and Freddie’s misadventures illustrate why Washington is what it is.

U.S. candidates must face the facts

By Leonard Krishtalka

Cal Thomas and others think there “must be a better way to nominate and elect a president” (“Voters need better choices,” Journal-World, April 5), one that attracts smarter, more capable people. Thomas blames a “ravenous media” that scavenge the candidate’s life for the “smallest misdeed.” His solution? A plan devised by academia or think tanks that would recruit better candidates, shorten campaigns, focus on substance and cost less money.

But would the candidates listen? The GOP hopefuls don’t listen now to the facts provided by university researchers and science think tanks as fundamental to smart, responsible public policy.

Krishtalka Fact: Unprecedented global warming, caused by human industry during the past 150 years, threatens our cities, coastlines, croplands and health.

Fact: We now live in the Anthropocene, “the human epoch.” For the first time in the Earth’s 4.5 billion-year history, humans, not nature, are the most powerful force transforming the land, oceans, atmosphere and life of the planet.

Fact: Left unchecked, we will face increasing droughts, floods and virulent diseases; destruction of our forests by resistant pests; threats to agribusiness and food security; and upheaval of entire communities and economies. The Defense Department listens. It ranks

YOUR TURN these as top threats to national security because they are the fuel for civil wars, ethnic strife and millions of refugees.

Fact: Biology, physics, chemistry, geology, anthropology, history and other disciplines tell us how all this came to be and how to fix it.

Instead, the GOP candidates prefer to hear no science, see no science, and speak no science, no matter the consequences for the nation they aspire to lead. Whether they’re pandering to a constituency or practicing willful disbelief, they are unfit to lead the world’s most technological country through the most science-driven era in human history. Thomas himself leads this anti-science parade in his columns.

He and the candidates regularly deny climate change and any non-scriptural version of the geology and biology of the planet. As Louis Black quipped, we don’t need a president who thinks The Flintstones television series was a documentary.

University researchers and medical think tanks repeatedly report how pollution ravages human health. Yet the GOP candidates don’t listen. Instead, like wind-up clones, they vow every four years to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, the very agency mandated to ensure that we are breathing clean air, drinking clean water and living on clean earth. The EPA is “anti business!” they cry. You bet — anti those businesses that treat our neighborhoods as toxic waste dumps and endanger your health and mine.

Air pollution damages lungs and shortens lives, from cancer-causing particulates, to asthma in young children, to life-threatening premature births. Were it not for the EPA, the nation’s waters would be chemical sewers from fertilizer run-off and the dumping of industrial waste. As it is, pollutants have already poisoned the groundwater reservoirs for millions of Americans, caused massive dead zones in Chesapeake Bay and ruined the water quality in 100,000 miles of rivers and streams and millions of square miles of lakes, reservoirs, ponds, bays and estuaries. Perhaps the EPAbashing would stop if the candidates had to drink these waters, or bathe in them.

Then there’s guns. Since 2001, about 440,000 Americans have died from gun violence, roughly 30,000 a year. During the same period, about 3,400 were victims of terrorists here and abroad.

The response from GOP candidates to acts of terrorism is overwhelming, e.g., Cruz: “We will carpet bomb them (terrorists) into oblivion.” But after mass shootings of students in schools, and people in theaters and shopping malls, all we get are do-nothing condolences.

Countless studies by university law schools and think tanks detail how we can sensibly honor the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms, yet stem the daily carnage from firearms.

Theoretically, nonstop politicking should provide better candidates, because, given enough time, a democracy allows fools to expose themselves. It’s our fault if we vote for them.

a few professors had the idea for something more permanent.

“We thought, well, there should be a historical marker,” said Bill Tuttle, professor emeritus of American Studies. So he and two others — Shawn Alexander, associate professor of African and African-American Studies and director of KU’s Langston Hughes Center, and John Hoopes, professor of archaeology — set out to make that happen, Tuttle said.

On Wednesday, the result was unveiled during a ceremony at Strong Hall.

The ceremony, attended by close to 50 people, was in an auditorium on the top floor of Strong, but the framed panel featuring photographs and text describing the sit-in and its significance will be permanently affixed to the wall outside the chancellor’s suite on the second floor of Strong — “right where the students were in 1965,” Tuttle said.

At one point about 400 people were outside the offices of then-Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, bearing some specific requests, Tuttle said. In addition to banning the whites-only rental listings on campus, they included asking KU to stop sending student teachers into segregated school districts and to order the greek system to abolish “racially

After being asked to leave when the building supposedly closed at 5 p.m., more than 100 students who stayed anyway were rounded up on buses and taken to jail.

Tuttle said some 550 students marched around the chancellor’s residence that night, and 160 returned to Strong Hall the next morning. To make a long story short (tip: Once the marker goes up, check it out if you’re interested in a less abridged version), after meeting with some leaders of the group, Wescoe took actions that led to changes at KU. “This was probably the first major sit-in for civil rights at a northern university,” Tuttle said. “It also was the most successful protest in the history of KU.

The largest donation for the marker, $2,000, came from the Class of 2015, with the rest from individual gifts, according to KU Endowment. The marker’s total cost is $3,100, including design, manufacturing and installation.

At Wednesday’s ceremony, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said she was pleased that Strong Hall would have the marker.

“Given the openness that universities should have to ideas,” she said, “it’s not surprising that all of these events were reflected here on our campus.”

Schools see more civil rights complaints Of more than 10,000 grievances, nearly half related to disabilities

He’s defied the odds before; here’s how he could do it again

Greg Toppo @gtoppo USA TODAY

School-related civil rights complaints surged to a record last year as the Education Department fielded 10,392 grievances, nearly half of which were related to alleged discrimination against students with disabilities.

In findings released Wednesday, the department’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) said 46% of the complaints, or 4,806, related to disability, including 76 cases alleging improper restraint or seclusion of students with disabilities. The restraint and seclusion figures represented the highest number ever and a 58% increase from the previous year.

Since the OCR began tracking the complaint in 2011, the number of alleged cases reported annually essentially has doubled.

The total number of complaints rose 50% since 2010, when the department logged 6,933 cases.

Complaints of sexual violence on college and university campuses also have exploded, the findings show: In the past five years, complaints at the post-secondary level rose from 11 to 164.

Among other findings: u28% of complaints were related to sexual discrimination. uComplaints of all types received in the 2015 fiscal year rose 88% since a decade earlier.

TSA frets over summer surge, begs for OT cash Congress panels consider plea for more money to boost screener levels and prevent air travel tumult

Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

An overburdened TSA pleaded with Congress on Wednesday for more money to pay security screeners overtime because a likely surge in summer travel threatens to overwhelm already jam-packed airport lines.

Congressional committees considered the request Wednesday, but only the Senate panel approved shifting $34 million from one TSA account to another, so it can hire and train 768 new officers and pay overtime for its 42,500 officers to keep up with the summer crush. House counterparts said they would study the proposal.

The Transportation Security Administration knew travel would peak over the summer and “simply failed to plan responsibly,” said Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, who heads the appropriations subcommittee for Homeland Security.

Congress typically allows agencies that provide a written explaWASHINGTON

nation to shift money among accounts, but lawmakers who object can block the move.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson didn’t say how much money he needed or which account it would come from. The TSA would use the money to pay screening officers overtime to work longer hours at high volume airports, he said. Without the money, Johnson said, travelers would experience lengthier lines to pass through body scanners on their way to summer vacations.

Travelers have complained for months about waits exceeding 30 minutes at security. The most trouble has been reported at Minneapolis, Seattle and Charlotte airports.

TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger warned in March that wait times nearly doubled from last year. The TSA stepped up security after the terror attacks in Paris, Brussels and Egypt over the past year.

A watchdog report last year that found screeners missed hidden weapons spurred TSA officials to scrutinize travelers and their carry-on bags more closely.

The Republican nomination is his. Now there’s a new question: Can Donald Trump win the White House?

After a decisive victory in the Indiana primary Tuesday, the billionaire businessman who was initially ridiculed as a reality TV candidate was declared the presumptive nominee by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Trump’s final two rivals, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, called it quits, sealing the most remarkable political rise in modern American history.

Some of Trump’s primary rivals and other senior Republicans argue that Trump’s lack of governmental experience and his unprecedented negative ratings — including among such crucial electoral groups as women, Latinos and young people — will doom his prospects in November.

But as Trump likes to remind people, the conventional wisdom has been wrong about him from the start.

“It’s been some unbelievable day and evening and year,” Trump declared in a victory speech Tuesday night in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, where he announced his candidacy almost a year ago.

“We’re going to win big league, believe me.”

He faces what could charitably be described as an uphill battle. A national CNN/ORC poll, taken April 28-May 1, showed Hillary Clinton with a daunting lead over Trump of 54%-41%. To win the White House, he needs to hold all of the states Mitt Romney won in 2012, with a total of 206 electoral votes, then add at least 64 to get to the 270 mark to claim the presidency.

A look at five states that could hold the key to how a Trump victory is possible and how difficult it will be.

Here’s one scenario that would give Trump 273 electoral votes — and the White House:

Brewery buckles, leaving thirsty Venezuelans beerless Residents say nation ‘is just falling apart’ Peter Wilson

Special for USA TODAY TASAJERA , VENEZUELA Farmer Luis Garcia has coped with many of the shortages that plague his economically distressed nation: toilet paper, shampoo, sugar. But the latest scarcity is more than Garcia can swallow: beer.

For as long as he can remember, Garcia, 43, has ended each day in this fishing village with a beer or two at his local tasca

(bar). That’s going to be impossible because the country’s largest brewery shut its operations and laid off 10,000 workers, citing a lack of malted barley.

“What are we coming to when we can’t even buy a beer?” griped Garcia, who said he can no longer support the socialist revolution started by President Hugo Chávez and continued by his successor, Nicolas Maduro. “This country is just falling apart.”

Cerveceria Polar, which produces more than three-quarters of the country’s suds, closed the last of its four domestic breweries in late April. The culprit, the company said, was the Venezue-

lan government’s repeated delays in selling it dollars to import supplies it needs to keep operating.

Under Venezuela’s foreign exchange restrictions, initiated by Chávez in 2003, the government controls access to dollars, deciding which companies qualify for them. Polar’s beer division has been cut off from dollars, and the company claims its suppliers abroad froze its credit lines, demanding payment in dollars.

That is not going down well in this nation of 30 million who love their beer, especially given the hot, tropical weather.

According to statistics compiled by the Kirin Beer Univer-

MIGUEL GUTIERREZ, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Workers of Empresas Polar demonstrate outside the company headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela, on April 22.

sity, Venezuela has the highest beer consumption in South America, 75 quarts per person a year. That places Venezuela 25th in global beer consumption, slightly behind the USA, which averages 80 quarts a person.

A bottle of Polar, which sports a polar bear on its label, costs 14 cents at the black market rate but $15 at the official exchange rate.

Empresas Polar, the company that owns the brewery, has had a difficult relationship with Maduro. The Venezuelan president has charged that the company and its chief executive, Lorenzo Mendoza, are waging an economic war against his government.

Picking a running mate could be key factor in campaign

POSSIBLE PATH v CONTINUED FROM 1B

David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

Once a joke, then a phenomenon and now something else: presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States.

Donald Trump’s rise is a history-making event that will change American politics and the Republican Party, according to analysts — and the story isn’t over yet.

To his critics, Trump is the ultimate triumph of celebrity politics, the beneficiary of free TV time and a campaign style that values insults over facts — the inevitable product of a party and conservative movement that has disdained government for decades, and the harbinger of celebrity candidates.

To his backers, Trump is the tribune of voters who have been failed by politicians, by immigration policies that undermine the nation’s identity, by trade deals that have sent American jobs to other countries and by political elites who do not understand or care about their problems. “We’ve been losing all the time,” Trump said in declaring victory Tuesday night. He added that “we’re going to start winning again and we’re going to win big league, believe me.”

Trump had “the luxury of a crowded field of candidates who thought Trump was someone else’s fight to have. When they finally decided to engage, it was too late.”

Kevin Madden, Republican strategist

Others don’t believe that theory will apply to the fall election.

They fear Trump — who alienated women, Hispanics and African-American voters — will wind up costing the party control of the Senate and perhaps the House. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the Republicans defeated by the New York businessman, said, “if we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it.”

In the meantime, Trump will try to unify the Republican Party .

One thing in his favor: He has the nomination in hand, after an easy win in Tuesday’s Indiana primary and the withdrawals of Ted Cruz and John Kasich. It becomes official at the Republican convention July 18-21 in Cleveland.

The New York mogul predicted that once-critical Republicans will board the “Trump train” as it roars toward the general election, probably against Hillary Clinton.

Trump has said nice things about former Republican rivals includ-

1

HOLD ARIZONA 11 ELECTORAL VOTES

In the past 16 presidential elections, Arizona has voted Democratic just once, in 1996. But Trump’s characterization of Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers and his vow to build a wall along the southern border have energized Latino voters here. In the latest RealClearPolitics average of recent statewide polls, Clinton leads the state by 3.5 percentage points. She and Trump showed strength in Arizona in its primaries last month, each winning by double digits.

2

HOLD NORTH CAROLINA 15 ELECTORAL VOTES

Democrats say North Carolina has been moving in the party’s direction, but after Barack Obama carried the state in 2008, he lost it in 2012. Clinton leads Trump by 2 points in statewide polls, and both husband Bill and daughter Chelsea have visited the state in recent weeks. Boosted by her solid support among African Americans, Clinton won the primary over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by 14 points in March; Trump edged Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by 3 points.

FLORIDA 3 FLIP 29 ELECTORAL VOTES

Florida defines a swing state: In the past six elections, Democrats have carried it three times, Republicans carried it three times. In statewide polls, Clinton leads but by just 2.2 points. She’s returned to the state for campaign-related events since the Democratic primary in March, which she won by more than 30 points.

Trump has roots in Florida, including his lavish Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. He crushed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in the primary by close to 20 points after pushing former governor Jeb Bush out of the race entirely. Would “Little Marco,” as Trump called Rubio, pitch in to help in the fall?

4

FLIP OHIO 18 ELECTORAL VOTES

No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio, and since 1960, the Buckeye State has had a perfect record of going with the national winner. Clinton holds a lead in statewide polls, but it’s narrow: 3.5 points. In March, she easily won the state’s Democratic primary. Trump lost the Republican primary to the home-state governor, John Kasich. Ohio’s struggling manufacturing base and its hard-pressed blue-collar voters could provide a receptive audience for Trump’s message in the general election. Kasich would be in a position to boost the GOP nominee if he chose to do so. And where was Clinton campaigning Tuesday? Ohio.

5

FLIP PENNSYLVANIA 20 ELECTORAL VOTES

Pennsylvania hasn’t voted Republican in the presidential race since 1988, but the state includes many of the white workingclass voters who are Trump’s most fervent supporters. In last week’s primary, Trump won two-thirds of Republican voters who didn’t have a college degree, defeating Cruz overall by more than 2-1. Clinton won the Democratic primary by 12 points. In statewide polls, Clinton leads by 7.4 points. As in Florida and Ohio, Pennsylvania has a competitive Senate race that could play a role.

ing Cruz, Kasich, and Marco Rubio — though not Jeb Bush, who continues to criticize him. On Wednesday, Trump announced that former opponent and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson would be involved in his vice presidential selection process.

While Trump has trashed professional politicians throughout his campaign, he likely will look to the political class for a running mate who can help him get proposals through Congress, he says.

He told CNN he could imagine his team vetting Kasich, a former House member and now governor of Ohio. “I have the business — let’s call it talents,” Trump said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe when asked about the veepstakes. “And I think I’ll probably go the political route, somebody that can help me with legislation.

Just a year ago, many Republicans doubted the host of The Apprentice, a former participant in WWE wrestling events, would even seek the presidency.

As his anti-politician message resonated, Trump knocked off 16 credentialed opponents one-byone, including “low energy” Jeb Bush, “little” Marco Rubio, and, on Tuesday night, “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz. The billionaire also benefited from the fact that, often during the campaign, his opponents preferred to attack each other, seeking to become the establishment alternative.

He had “the luxury of a crowded field full of candidates who all thought Trump was someone else’s fight to have,” said Kevin Madden, a Republican strategist.

He added, “when they finally decided to engage, it was too late.”

Trump’s ultimate political legacy depends on whether he wins in November — and the Democrats already are targeting him.

“There’s only one candidate left who can stop a Trump presidency,” said a fundraising appeal from Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Trump will be the first major party nominee with no experience in public office since the Republicans put up Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 — and Ike had led the Allied military forces through World War II, a job that had distinct political elements.

At rally after rally — as Trump denounced rivals, attacked President Obama, ordered the forcible removal of protesters, and even suggested punching one in the face — supporters praised him for his lack of political experience.

“What’s got him this far is being what he is,” said Ruby Sites, 39, a deli manager from Osterburg, Pa., who saw Trump at a rally in Hagerstown, Md. “Not being like everybody else, not being a politician.”

If Trump is to wind up in the Oval Office, however, he must raise low approval ratings among women, Hispanic, and AfricanAmerican voters, plus independents. “We’re on the cusp of nominating a candidate with the absolute highest negative ratings of any major party candidate in history,” Madden said. “If we had nominated anyone other than Trump, that distinction would have gone to Hillary Clinton. But we didn’t.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich suspended his presidential campaign Wednesday evening, telling supporters in Columbus, Ohio, that he had “renewed faith” that “the Lord will show me the way forward.”

Trump’s victory in Indiana on Tuesday night all but sealed the GOP nomination, leading Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to drop out of the race.

Kasich had long been mathematically eliminated from winning the AP GOP nominaJohn Kasich tion.

Critics said he was playing a spoiler by staying in.

And taking on Trump one-onone would have required millions more in cash than Kasich had.

His campaign’s and his political action committee’s coffers had dwindled to $1.2 million each by the end of March.

Still, Kasich had planned to continue his presidential bid as the lone and unlikely alternative to Trump’s candidacy — even though he had won only his home state, and trailed Trump by nearly 900 delegates.

The pressure to drop out ramped up quickly. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus tweeted Tuesday night he considered Trump the “presumptive nominee.”

Trump on Wednesday welcomed the news that Kasich would quit, saying the Ohio Republican was “doing the right thing,” suggesting he might consider Kasich as vice presidential contender, CNN reported. Kasich has said he is not interested in the No. 2 spot on a Trump ticket.

MANY OF ISRAEL’S HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS ARE INDIGENT Activists: 45,000 are living below the poverty line

@orndorfftroyan USA TODAY

Special for USA TODAY TEL AVIV

PHOTOS BY SHIRA RUBIN, USA TODAY

Melinda Hershkowitz, 83, needs medicine to sleep because of flashbacks of her father being shot to death by a Nazi officer.

Hershkowitz, left, along with her mother and brother, came from Transylvania. er groups of immigrants as the Holocaust survivor population rapidly dwindles to 189,000.

Heiblum was born in Starachowice, Poland, and has black tattoos on his arm and chest, remnants of two of the four concentration camps where he spent his teenage years.

But when he arrived in Israel, “no one was interested in talking

about what we went through. Instead, they took me straight from the boat and drafted me into the artillery corps,” he recalled.

In the early decades of Israeli history, Holocaust survivors often were regarded with hostility, scorned for their alleged weakness in failing to rebel against the Nazis and given derogatory monikers such as sabon, “soap” in Hebrew, referring to the soap that Nazis made from Jewish corpses, Heiblum said.

In a young Israel, where the focus was on building a nationalist identity, even mentioning the Holocaust was “taboo,” an attitude that persisted in the following decades, Heiblum added.

Most survivors are in their late 80s, but a few are much older, such as Yisrael Kristal, a 112-yearold Haifa resident who is listed by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest man. The group’s ranks are declining as more than 13,000 die each year, according to the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel.

The mission to enable survivors such as Heiblum “to have dignity in their remaining years is really a race against the clock,” said Aviva Silverman of non-profit Spring for Holocaust Survivors.

A raging wildfire, whipped by strong winds from a cold front that arrived Wednesday, has destroyed 1,600 structures in the Canadian oil sands city of Fort McMurray and driven out almost the entire population of 83,000 people.

It’s the biggest wildfire evacuation in Canadian history, according to said Bruce Macnab, the head of wildland fire information systems at Natural Resources Canada.

As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, 25,000 acres have been scorched.

Firefighters have been forced to focus on saving critical infrastructure like the only bridge across the Athabasca River and Highway 63, the only way into the city from the south.

— Doug Stanglin OBAMA TO VISIT CANADA FOR N. AMERICAN SUMMIT

President Obama will travel to Canada next month for a North American Summit, where he will meet the leaders of Canada and Mexico and address a joint session of the Canadian Parliament.

The one-day summit on June 29 “is further recognition of the value of a more integrated North America to advance the security and prosperity of the continent,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.

The visit will also highlight the

burgeoning friendship between Obama and newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Also attending the Ottawa summit will be Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

— Gregory Korte EU PROPOSES VISA-FREE TRAVEL FOR TURKS

The European Union proposed on Wednesday to let Turkish citizens travel to Europe on short vacations and business trips without visas.

The deal is part of an agreement struck between Turkey and the 28-nation EU in March to manage the continent’s worst refugee crisis since World War II. Greece now deports migrants from the European gateway island of Lesbos back to Turkey, and Syrian refugees from Turkey are being resettled in Europe.

More than 1 million migrants entered Europe last year, often traveling to Lesbos from Turkey before heading on to northern Europe. — Jane Onyanga-Omara ALSO ...

WASHINGTON North Carolina’s law requiring that people use the restroom corresponding to their birth gender discriminates against transgender people, the Justice Department warned the state in a letter Wednesday.

The law, known as HB2, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination against people on the basis of sex, according to the letter from Vanita Gupta, acting chief of the department’s Civil Rights Division.

It says the state is engaging in a “pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees.”

The agency has given Gov. Pat McCrory until Monday to respond.

In a statement late Wednesday, McCrory said officials were considering the state’s options.

Princess Charlotte has a royal hamster Andrea Mandell @andreamandell USA TODAY

Here’s a bit of adorable news — Princess Charlotte has a tiny pet.

On an outing to visit school children in London on Wednesday, Duchess Kate revealed her 1-year-old daughter has a hamster.

His name? Marvin.

According to Sky News and People, while chatting with the children at the new Magic Garden playground at Hampton Court Palace, Kate revealed Charlotte “had a hamster, and Charlotte really likes it because

the whiskers always tickle her face,” according to a 9-year-old named Darcey, sharing their conversation with media.

Checking out the grounds, Kate also shared that Prince George would have been “a bit scared” of the playground’s decorative 25foot dragon.

And what did the royal tell a curious child to call her DUCHESS when asked if OF CAMBRIDGE she was a Princess princess? “Just Charlotte call me Kate.”

The only thing cuter than Marvin the royal hamster? That would be Prince George and his monogrammed bathrobe.

That’s when flashbacks return of her father being shot dead by a Nazi officer.

“We’ve gone through something that you can’t really describe in words, and then my brother and I waited for years for Romania to allow us to leave to Israel. We dreamt of Israel,” said Hershkowitz, who arrived in 1971.

Wednesday night was the start of Holocaust Remembrance Day. Israel will mark it with a moment of silence and a two-minute air siren to commemorate the 6 million Jews who perished during World War II in Nazi death camps. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a group of survivors Wednesday.

But that is not enough for activists who are prodding Israel to remember that 45,000 Holocaust survivors such as Hershkowitz are living below the country’s poverty line.

STUTTGART, GERMANY U.S. forces and their allies risk more losses in the battle to defeat the Islamic State even though they are trying to avoid direct ground combat with the radical militants, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter warned Wednesday.

“Our overall approach is to enable local forces to do the fighting,” Carter said a day after a Navy SEAL was killed by Islamic State extremists while advising Kurdish forces battling the militants. “But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to do any fighting at all as a coalition.”

The SEAL, identified as Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Keating, was two miles from the frontlines when he was killed when militants penetrated Kurdish defensive lines and attacked with small arms and car bombs while his team was moving from one location to another. He was the third American to die in Iraq since the U.S. military returned to the country in 2014 to help local forces fight the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

“That was a dangerous mission that took him into combat.”

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter

“He was in a firefight and he died in combat,” Carter told a news conference here Wednesday. Carter was in Germany to meet with representatives of 11 allies in the fight against ISIL. “His mission was to advise and assist the (Kurdish) peshmerga,” the defense secretary said. “That was a dangerous mission that took him into combat and that’s where he perished heroically.”

Carter and the 11 allies are discussing ways of accelerating the war against the militants in Iraq and Syria as coalition-backed Iraq forces embark on an offensive to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, from the group.

“With your help it will go faster,” Carter said at the start of the meeting. He cited progress in the battle against ISIL, but cautioned, “The fight is far from over.”

The U.S. has increased the numbers of American advisers in Iraq to 4,087 from 3,870.

Pot measure could make Nov. ballot Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

A tech billionaire’s plan to legalize recreational marijuana in California has taken a major step toward the November ballot.

Known as the “Adult Use of Marijuana Act,” the ballot measure legalizes possession of small amounts of cannabis for adults, establishes tax rates and a structure for farmers to grow pot, and creates the framework for a statewide distribution system. Medical marijuana use has been legal in California since 1996, but the proposal backed by former Facebook president Sean Parker opens up marijuana use for all adults, not just those with a doctor’s note.

“This is a game changer,” said Calif. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is backing the initiative. “We have a chance to lead a national dialogue, a national debate.”

Newsom joined other backers at a news conference Wednesday to announce the initiative has likely collected enough signatures to qualify for the fall ballot, although it still must receive formal certification from state elections officials.

The stakes are huge. Experts say legal marijuana could be worth billions for California, not just through taxes, but through a new network of licensed cultivation, distribution and testing facilities, all of which will need employees, construction workers and equipment. Nationwide, by 2020, adult use and medical marijuana sales are expected to reach nearly $23 billion, triple this year, based in part on California’s legalization.

The ballot measure dovetails

with legislation establishing basic ground rules for legal marijuana.

A similar proposal failed to qualify for the 2014 ballot because its backers lacked the money necessary to collect sufficient signatures. Parker donated $100,000 to that 2014 effort — but has donated more than $1 million to this current initiative.

Rises 5% as carmaker beats expectations, citing heavy demand Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Tesla’s rocky financial road smoothed a bit as the electric automaker Wednesday reported an adjusted loss that was narrower than Wall Street expected, sending shares up 5% after hours.

In a shareholder letter released after the close of trading, the company led by Elon Musk cited “overwhelming demand” for its Model 3.

For the first three months of the year, Tesla said it lost $2.13 a share, or $282 million. Excluding certain items, the nonGAAP loss narEPA rowed to 57 Elon Musk cents a share, or says he will $75 million, fast-track better than the production of loss expected by the Model 3. analysts polled

by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Other analyst forecasts had Tesla essentially meeting EPS expectations.

Revenue was $1.15 billion — an improvement over the year-ago quarter figure of $939 million —

or $1.6 billion excluding certain items. That adjusted sales figure matched expectations.

Tesla shares closed down 4% at the end of trading Wednesday at $222.56, a slide that started hours earlier on news that two of the companies top executives, including its vice president of production, would be leaving.

Telsa’s market cap of $29 billion makes it more than half as valuable as venerable Ford.

Tesla’s progress toward profitability has been stymied of late by comparatively low-volume sales (it shipped 50,000 cars in 2015, or about the number of Ford F150 pickups that sell each month) and some issues with the rear seats of its new Model X SUV. But CEO Musk has promised

to boost sales to around 90,000 units a year with its current Model S and X lineup, while predicting more than that over time based on the tremendous consumer interest in the company’s $35,000 entry-level electric sedan, the Model 3, due in a few years. In the past month, Tesla has logged some 325,000 $1,000 deposits for the vehicle.

In the letter, penned by Musk and CFO Jason Wheeler, the company announced it would fast-track its goal of a 500,000unit build plan to 2018, or two years earlier than anticipated due to projected demand for the Model 3.

The Model 3 has a base price of $35,000 and a range of 215 miles on its electric batteries.

when he spent almost $27 million buying 500,000 JPMorgan shares after the bank’s stock had tumbled 20% in 2016 alone. That turned out to be a turning point for JPMorgan shares — and the broader market.

The clearer motivation for open-market buying is why it’s important to compare the pace of recent insider purchases to historical averages. Before doing that, however, Seyhun says it’s important to strip out from the insider data those transactions undertaken by a firm’s largest shareholders. That’s because they on balance have no special insight into their firm’s prospects. Sey-

Chase expect Labor to announce job gains of 240,000 to 250,000 Friday, above the 209,000 monthly average so far this year. They largely point to initial jobless claims, a reliable gauge of layoffs, that continue to hover near 42year lows. And the Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday that its measure of service-sector employment reflected more hiring last month.

The labor market has held up well, defying weak economic growth of 1.4% at an annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2015 and a meager 0.6% in this year’s first quarter. A listless global economy,

strong dollar and low oil prices have hampered U.S. exports and business investment.

Barclays economist Jesse Hurwitz believes a recent drop in consumption is temporary, citing soft heating demand because of an unseasonably warm winter and a pullback in auto sales.

A report Friday of at least 200,000 or so payroll gains likely would dispel concerns of a weakening economy, High Frequency economist Jim O’Sullivan says. At the same time, he says, a disappointing tally “is going to be viewed as evidence the (job growth) trend is slowing.”

Here’s some welcome news for investors worried about recent market volatility: Corporate insiders on balance are giving stocks the benefit of the doubt.

That is a bullish sign for their companies — and for the market in general.

A corporation’s insiders, of course, are its officers, directors and largest shareholders. We know when they buy or sell shares of their companies’ stock because they are required to immediately report their transactions to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shrewd investors pay close attention on the theory that insiders know more about their companies’ prospects than do the rest of us.

You wouldn’t know the insiders are bullish from focusing on the raw data reported to the SEC, however. For example, Jonathan Moreland, director of research for Insider Insights newsletter, reports that in April there were 95% more firms in which insiders sold than bought.

But the raw data can be misleading, according to Nejat Seyhun, a finance professor at the University of Michigan and one of academia’s leading experts on

hun has found from research the insiders whose transactions are most worth paying attention to are a firm’s officers and directors.

Ignoring the largest shareholders’ transactions is especially important now, since they have been particularly heavy sellers as the market has approached its previous highs. And, since their transactions are typically so much larger than those of officers and directors, they otherwise dominate the raw insider data.

Upon adjusting the insider data for these and other factors, Seyhun calculates that, in recent months, 32% of the transactions from the most important insiders have been purchases. Because that’s higher than the historical average of 29%, he concludes that the insiders on balance are bullish right now.

Seyhun has devised a complex econometric model that uses the insider data to forecast the stock market’s likely performance over the next 12 months. It currently is projecting a 16% return, which translates into a Dow Jones level of greater than 20,000.

Insider transaction data are also helpful in drawing our attention to particular sectors that represent particularly good value.

Now, according to Seyhun, the energy and technology sectors are two in which insiders are relatively most bullish. In addition, he said, insiders in small-cap stocks currently are more bullish than insiders in large-cap stocks.

INSIDERS BUYING UP STOCK The percentage of companies where insiders are buying stock has been above the 10-year average for seven straight months.

insider behavior. One reason, he said, is insiders almost always sell more than they buy. That’s because a big portion of the typical insider’s compensation comes in shares rather than cash, and he or she must sell those shares to pay for any big purchase. Such sales have little if anything to do with the insider’s confidence in his company’s prospects.

Purchases of stock made with their own money, in contrast, are a much less ambiguous signal of what insiders think about their companies. A good example is Jamie Dimon. The CEO of JPMorgan Chase sent a strong vote of confidence in early February

Strong job growth likely to perk up sluggish economy Friday’s Labor Dept. report expected to show gain of 200,000 Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Several top analysts expect the government to report strong job growth Friday despite a disappointing private-sector survey, a development that would reinforce the belief the economy is poised to pick up after two weak quarters.

Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that businesses added 156,000 jobs in April, well below the 195,000 economists expected and a possible red flag that the sluggish economy is dragging down the labor market.

But economists project the Labor Department’s survey of the public and private sectors, due out Friday, will record 200,000 job gains for last month, according to the median estimate of those surveyed by Bloomberg.

ADP’s tally has often varied significantly from Labor’s.

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

Things change on Wall Street.

Sometimes quickly.

And so it is that a stock market that was flirting with new highs has suddenly hit a speed bump.

Talk of the market maybe making new highs has given way to talk of the Nasdaq nearing correction territory, or a 10% drop from its high. Talk of the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index in danger of sinking back into the red again for the year. And talk of the Dow’s year-to-date gains dwindling as well.

The changing narrative can be blamed on the Nasdaq finishing lower nine of the past 10 sessions.

Future guidance helps investors plot their profits Q: Why are companies’ outlooks so important?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: A company delivers solid revenue growth. It beats earnings forecasts. But the stock goes down anyway. The reason often has to do with the “outlook.”

Many — but not all — companies’ managements will guide investors on what to expect from profitability in the upcoming period. This outlook or “guidance” can often be more important to investors than the results from the just-reported period.

That’s perfectly understandable. Investors are attempting to price stocks based on what the company’s earnings will be three to six months from now, not what they were in the prior period.

Past results are important to investors, but mainly to help understand the future.

It’s not just a theory. Consider online retailer Priceline, which saw its shares drop $101.60, or 7.5%, to $1,253.04 Wednesday. The stock price decline occurred despite the company reporting nearly 18% higher revenue and betterthan-expected adjusted quarterly profit of $10.54 a share.

The problem traces back to the company’s guidance for the future not being as bullish as some hoped. The company now expects to earn between $11.60 and $12.50 a share in the second quarter.

That is sharply below the $14.87 a share expected by investors.

Takata air bag recall expands, becomes biggest in U.S. history Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Japanese auto supplier Takata’s deadly air bag crisis ballooned into the largest recall in U.S. history Wednesday as the company agreed in a deal with auto-safety regulators to recall another 35 million to 40 million air bag inflators.

About 28.8 million inflators had already been recalled to repair a defect that can cause the air bags to explode during an accident. Eleven deaths have been

JIM LO SCALZO, EPA

NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind credited Takata, saying it “may be turning the corner toward a stronger” safety culture.

linked to the defective parts.

“This is the largest recall in American history,” National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator Mark Rosekind told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

The exact number of vehicles affected by the recall was not immediately known. It is likely to be similar to the inflator figure, although some vehicles require replacements for driver-side and passenger-side air bags.

The defective air bags are at risk of rupturing violently in a collision, hurling fiery shrapnel into drivers and passengers. In addition to the fatalities, about 100 people have been injured.

Taken together, virtually all

major automakers are affected by the recall in some capacity. By some estimates, nearly one-quarter of all vehicles on the road in the U.S. could be subject to the recall, though 8.2 million had already been fixed as of April 22.

Drivers will receive notices when it’s time for their repairs.

Takata agreed to replace the inflators in five phases beginning immediately and extending through December 2019. The company already agreed to pay at least $70 million in penalties and up to $200 million for failing to promptly fix the vehicles or report the defect.

“This agreement with NHTSA is consistent with our desire to work with regulators and our automaker customers to develop long-term, orderly solutions to these important safety issues,” Takata CEO Shigehisa Takada said in a statement.

The defect stems from conditions affecting ammonium nitrate propellant used in the inflators, NHTSA concluded. The propellant is prone to degrading over time, especially in hot, humid climates, according to tests by the government and Takata.

NEW YORK As Outlander’s timetraveling heroine Claire Fraser, Caitriona Balfe is whisked between the emerald moors of 18thcentury Scotland and lavish palaces of French royalty.

But the Irish actress’ dream destination is worlds away from the Starz drama’s picturesque locales. “Could I just time-travel to a beach somewhere, where nobody can get me on the phone so I’d never have to leave?” Balfe says with a grin. “I’d like to do that.”

She has certainly earned some R&R after being propelled into the spotlight in 2014 as the star of the pay-cable network’s hit Outlander (Saturdays, 9 p.m. ET/PT), which returned last month with more than double the ratings of its first-season premiere (nearly 1.5 million same-day viewers).

Combining high-stakes adventure and romance, the series has inspired a legion of devoted fans

Claire (Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) take on the more restrictive manners, and fashion, of Paris in Outlander Season 2. that goes beyond readers of Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novels.

Balfe, 36, was drawn to Claire because there’s a “great range of what she goes through and what you get to play,” she says.

Outlander is the first major acting coup for Balfe, whose first name is pronounced “ka-TREEnah.” A Dublin native, she studied theater as a teenager before she caught the attention of a modeling scout. For nearly a decade she graced runways and ad campaigns but eventually felt the

itch to act again.

“I just knew that I wasn’t happy doing that, and if I was ever to pursue my dream of acting, it was now or never,” Balfe says. So, she packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles, where she enrolled in an acting class, booked a manager and landed minor roles in movies such as Escape Plan and Now You See Me. Now, Balfe is headed back to the big screen in the Jodie Fosterdirected Money Monster, starring George Clooney and Julia Rob-

erts (in theaters May 13). In the thriller, she plays Diane Lester, a spokeswoman for a company whose stock mysteriously plummets — leading an unhinged investor (Jack O’Connell) to hold a TV financial guru (Clooney) hostage on-air.

Working with Foster was “incredible. It was amazing how much of a shorthand we had so quickly.” On set with her co-stars, “I didn’t get to witness the infamous George Clooney pranking, which makes me think he was pranking me behind my back,” Balfe jokes. “No, he was actually really fun.”

Are summer movie records safe from an Avengers-sized throwdown?

The biggest cinema season of the year begins in earnest Thursday night with previews of Captain America: Civil War, the 13th movie in the successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film puts factions led by superfriends Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) on opposing sides of a debate about who should police superheroes — government or themselves? — while also unveiling new characters such as Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and a new movie Spider-Man (Tom Holland).

Add strong social-media interest “and you have what may be one of the most perfectly realized, fun and satisfying superhero movie experiences ever to pummel the big screen,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for tracking service comScore.

Civil War is doing well internationally, racking up more than $224 million since it opened last week in more than a dozen global

MARVEL

Expect big things when Captain America (Chris Evans) faces off with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) in Civil War. markets. Here, the movie already ranks as the No. 1 preselling superhero movie of all time, according to Fandango.com.

It probably won’t take down Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ all-time opening of $248 million, but a $210 million debut for Civil War “seems about right,” says ScreenCrush.com editor Mike Sampson. That would break the $208.8 million summer record set by Jurassic World last year.

But hitting that mark would be tough, says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. He says an “amazing” de-

but would be $180 million to $200 million, which would be apropos for a Captain America film that looks and acts like an Avengers project: The Avengers opened with $207.4 million in 2012, and Avengers: Age of Ultron racked up a $191.3 million debut last year.

“If Age of Ultron couldn’t top what Avengers did, I’m not sure how Civil War can,” Bock says.

In its favor: a slew of positive reviews. The third Captain America film has a 93% approval rating from critics on the aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com. In a Fandango survey of more than 1,000

Civil War ticket buyers, 68% say they plan to see Civil War multiple times in a theater.

Samson predicts the critical acclaim will not only extend Civil War’s summer run but also help it blow past the $325.2 million domestic haul of the maligned Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

“There was a sense of tedium that surrounded Dawn of Justice, which could have negatively impacted Civil War if enough people felt superhero fatigue,” Sampson says. “Coming out early (with media screenings) and showing confidence in the product is translating into even more excitement.”

He sees three other films this summer that could complete dollar-wise with Civil War: fellow superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse (in theaters May 27), the long-awaited Pixar sequel Finding Dory (June 17) and the bigbudget alien-invasion follow-up Independence Day: Resurgence (June 24). But he doesn’t think anything will realistically catch it.

Adds Sampson: “It’s strange to think that the summer movie season could peak before summer actually begins, but I can’t imagine anything else coming close to Civil War this year.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tell it like it is

Kansas should go corporate route to relocate Cozart

coach David Beaty repeatedly has said that if Cozart is not playing quarterback, he is too good an athlete to be wasted standing next to Beaty on the sideline. Yet, it’s difficult to imagine Cozart won’t be doing just that when the season rolls around and Ryan Willis is at the controls of the offense because he throws way more accurate passes, especially on medium and long throws, than anyone in the program.

The most natural position shift for Cozart would seem to be wide receiver, a path taken by former Kansas quarterbacks Kerry Meier and Kale Pick. Yet, his size and speed also project well to safety.

Cornerback and running back might be stretches, but are worth exploring as well.

My corporate plan for Cozart: It might be interesting to view Cozart as a job applicant and put him through a series of interviews, one for each position group, conducted by the coach in charge of that position.

Start with standard jobinterview questions: What do you see yourself doing five years from now? He might just say playing wide receiver in the NFL. What position, other than quarterback, do you think you would enjoy playing the most? Why? Then drill down with questions regarding how he thinks he might respond to getting lit up catching a pass over the middle. Ask him what he misses most and liked least about playing defense for Bishop Miege.

Covering the Chicago Cubs as a traveling beat writer in 1990, I enjoyed listening to the late Don Zimmer’s tales about his baseball life. I’ll never forget the look on his face, eyes burning, cheeks seemingly puffing even larger than usual, when he shared horror stories from an ownership group of another organization for which he had worked.

One of the club officials told Zimmer to write down his statistical expectations for every player on a monthly basis, share those expectations with the player, and then have a monthly performance review tkeegan@ljworld.com sit-down with each player who fell short of expectations. It demonstrated beautifully that what works in the corporate world usually doesn’t have any application to sports.

Yet, just this once, I would like to see a slice of corporate structure used by the Kansas University football program to solve the issue of what to do with Montell Cozart, such a graceful athlete blessed with such a positive attitude.

Transfer Thornton continues KU visit today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Duke point guard Derryck Thornton, who could help fill a need in Kansas University’s backcourt during the 2017-18 season and perhaps beyond, today begins the second day of his official recruiting trip to Kansas University.

The 6-foot-2 Thornton, who visited USC last weekend, also has scheduled visits to Washington (Sunday) and Miami (May 15).

Thornton, who averaged 7.1 points, 2.6 assists and 26.0 minutes a game in Duke’s 36 games this past season, can practice next season at his transfer destination but not play in games in accordance with NCAA rules.

The timing of that would appear to be ideal at KU, following the departure of Frank Mason III, who will have graduated, and possibly Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Kansas makes offer to Miege WR

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

According to JayhawkSlant.com, the Kansas University football program officially has offered a scholarship to Bishop Miege standout Jafar Armstrong.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound wide receiver has long been considered one of the top Kansans in the 2017 recruiting class, and, according to Miege head coach Jon Holmes, KU’s offer pro-

vides more proof that second-year head coach David Beaty’s staff is serious about its pursuit of the top talent in the state.

“It shows they want to do well with kids in Kansas,” Holmes told JayhawkSlant’s Jon Kirby. “I know the rankings just came out, and he is in the top five. To me it shows they are sticking to their word and recruiting local players.”

In addition to Kansas, Armstrong now owns offers

from Illinois, New Mexico, Northern Illinois and Wyoming and is receiving interest from Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina State and others.

KU currently has four commitments in the 2017 class: Texas offensive linemen Jared Hocker and Grant Polley, Dallas running back Dom Williams and Louisiana athlete Travis Jordan. Because past recruiting practices continue to limit KU’s number of available scholarships, the

Jayhawks should be able to add around 15 more before next February.

Armstrong certainly appears to be one player who will give the Jayhawks a long look, not only because of the opportunity playing in the Big 12 presents but also because of KU’s recent connection to his school.

FSHS vaulter Hicks thrilled to pick KU

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Callie Hicks entered high school, she never pictured herself as a pole vaulter. Until three years ago, the Free State High senior spent most of her time focusing on gymnastics.

After shin splits and leg pain forced her out of competitive gymnastics, some of her friends mentioned vaulting and encouraged her to try it out.

Fast forward to Wednesday, when Hicks signed her letter of intent to vault at Kansas University in the Free State conference room.

Along with Hicks, Free State had three runners celebrate signings. Tommy Jacobs and Ronald White signed to run at Allen Community

College, and Tanner Hockenbury signed with Washburn University.

“This day was really awesome altogether,” Hicks said. “It was great having friends and family here to watch me sign, finally. Just a really great day.”

Hicks won a Class 6A state title last season by clearing 10 feet, 6 inches.

Her personal record at Free State is 12-3, only six inches short of tying the school record. Her goal for the rest of the year is reaching 13-6.

Before choosing the Jayhawks, Hicks considered several schools across the Midwest, including Wichita State, Kansas State, Nebraska and UMKC. “Honestly, three years

Miami — Chris Bosh’s season is over.

The Miami Heat say Bosh has been ruled out for the remainder of the postseason, the announcement coming Wednesday afternoon. Bosh has not played since the All-Star break after a blood clot was discovered in his left leg.

It was the second consecutive season that Bosh’s season came to an end at the break because of a clotting issue.

Cavs’ threes ruin Hawks

Cleveland (ap) — Your shot, Warriors.

Dropping jumpers from every corner and angle, the Cleveland Cavaliers drained an NBA-record 25 three-pointers — the most in any regular season or playoff game — during a 123-98 runaway win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in Game 2 of their second-round series.

J.R. Smith made seven threes as the Cavs, looking like an Eastern Conference version of Golden State’s Splash Brothers, had the most prolific outside shooting game of any team in league history.

From the outset, they were on target and on a tear, and afterward LeBron James struggled to explain it.

“Tonight was a special night for all of us who played,” he said. “This league has seen so many great teams, so many great players and great shooters and for us to set an all-time record is truly special.”

James made four threes and scored 27 points for the defending conference champions, who were able to rest their starters for the entire fourth quarter. Their arms were tired.

Cleveland finished 25-of-45 behind the arc and had 10 players make at least one three.

Even the team’s furry mascot, Moondog, got in on the act by making an over-the-head, backward fling from half court on his first try in the final minutes.

“When they put those shots down, I don’t know if anyone

can beat them, to be honest,” said Atlanta’s Kyle Korver, one of the game’s deadliest shooters.

“We were hoping that they’d start missing at some point.”

The Cavs never did.

They made 18 three-pointers in the first half and added seven more after halftime to embarrass the Hawks, who have lost 10 straight postseason games to Cleveland.

The Cavs spent the final few minutes chasing history and when reserve Dahntay Jones dropped the Cavs’ 24th three with 2:24 left, it bettered the mark of 23 previously held by Orlando (2009) and Houston (2013). Mo Williams added another three for good measure.

The Warriors, who beat the Cavs in last year’s Finals and seem to be on a collision course with them again, recently set the postseason mark by making 21 three-pointers. Stephen Curry and Co. have a new bar to aim at.

Smith made six three-pointers in the first half — the Cavs knocked down seven straight during one dizzying stretch — as Cleveland built a 38-point lead over the stunned Hawks,

who will head home for Friday’s Game 3 down 2-0 in the series and utterly demoralized.

There was little Atlanta defenders could do against the Cavs, who stood behind the line, took aim and dropped shot after shot after shot.

After making Cleveland’s 16th three-pointer in the first half, the easygoing Smith skipped back on defense like a little kid on a schoolyard playground.

By halftime, the Hawks were down 74-38 and finished. The team posted on its official Twitter account, “If you take away their threes, we’re right in this.”

Cleveland went past Golden State’s record when Kyrie Irving nailed a three-pointer with 5:06 left in the third quarter.

Devonté Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk, who could turn pro after their junior years. Also, perimeter player Josh Jackson arrives for summer school as a projected one-anddone player.

What kind of player is Thornton? Al Featherston of Dukebasketballreport.com recently wrote an opinion piece on the Chatsworth, Calif., native’s transfer situation.

Here is an excerpt ...

“Thornton’s biggest flaw as a freshman was that he had not yet developed as a playmaker. His judgment was somewhat suspect. That was the issue that defined his freshman season — Thornton looking for his shot, while Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski) and the staff urged him to be more of a quarterback. Indeed, I don’t know for sure, but I believe that conflict was behind the reported January crisis that led to Thornton’s decision to transfer,” Featherston wrote of Rivals.com’s No. 14 rated player in the recruiting Class of 2015.

“I hate the decision for Duke and the kid. Look, if Thornton returned, he’d have to fight for playing time next season. The Devils will be loaded on the perimeter with the return of (Grayson) Allen, Matt Jones and Luke Kennard and the addition of Jason Tatum and Frank Jackson.

“That’s not to say that Thornton could not elevate his game in the offseason to the point where he would have to play major minutes. As the only natural point guard on the roster and as a potentially outstanding onthe-ball defender, it’s not farfetched to suggest that even with all the wing talent on hand, Thornton could have turned himself into a 25-30 minute a game player. Still, that was not likely. The most likely scenario was that Thornton would get 10-15 minutes while he worked to get more mature physically and develop his playmaking abilities.

“That would put him in spectacular position going into the 2017-18 season. Jones would definitely be gone … Allen and Tatum would likely be gone … it’s even possible that one or both of Kennard and Jackson would be gone. If Thornton developed as most Duke players who stick around develop, he would be in position for a monster season in 2017-18.

“True, he would have had to be patient through next year, but by transferring he’s got to sit out next season anyway. Is he going to be better off as a practice player at UNLV or Cal or wherever he ends up … or as a contributor — even a minor contributor — on a Duke team that should be a strong contender for the 2017 NCAA title?

“Believe me, the Blue Devils will be fine without Derryck Thornton.

And, I suspect Thornton will have success at his new school, wherever that turns out to be.

But I will always regret what might-have-been if Thornton had elected to gut it out and stay at Duke,” Featherston concluded. l

offensive-line coach Tim Grunhard all spent time at Miege before coming to Kansas.

“It’s exciting because they’re the hometown school,” Armstrong told Kirby of KU. “I’m ecstatic to get the offer.”

Heaps signs with Seattle Former KU quarterback Jake Heaps is getting another shot at the NFL. Earlier this week, Heaps revealed via Twitter that he had signed a free-agent contract with the Seattle Seahawks — his hometown team — and will

attend minicamps and attempt to make the Seahawks’ roster or practice squad this offseason and preseason.

It’s a long shot, sure, but it is a shot, and that’s not something many people believed Heaps would get when he bolted Kansas following his junior season.

After closing his one season as the Jayhawks’ starter as a back-up to Montell Cozart, Heaps played his senior season at Miami, Fla., where he appeared in four games and completed six of 12 passes for 51 yards while serving as the back-up to freshman Brad Kaaya.

That reality continued a trend for Heaps, who saw his production dip every season after his

day,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He just couldn’t get it going and the defense didn’t help him. Three errors in the first inning didn’t help him. It was just a struggle.”

Strasburg (5-0) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings for Washington.

“It might sound strange but it made it a little more difficult,” said Strasburg, who is off to the best start record-wise of his career.

“You have to trick your mind into thinking it’s a 0-0 game.”

Things got so bad for the Royals that the mildmannered Hosmer, their hottest hitter, got ejected for the first time in his sixyear big-league career.

Hosmer struck out and took umbrage with plate umpire CB Bucknor, who gestured for him to head to the showers in the bottom of the sixth inning.

“I realize it’s a tough job back there, and I realize it’s not easy calling balls and strikes, but when something occurred before the inning and he decided to continue on with the conversation with the catcher I just felt like his focus wasn’t in there,” Hosmer said. “As a hitter, as a competitor, you don’t appreciate that.

That’s why I felt the need to speak my piece.”

Minneapolis — Minnesota scored nine runs in the first two innings and coasted to a 12-7, nonconference baseball rout of Kansas University on Wednesday at Siebert Field.

“They beat us up pretty good,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “This may be the best offensive club we see all season long. They are very physical with the bat. That banged out 23 hits last night and another 18 hits today.”

Kansas (19-26) mustered seven runs off 10 hits.

Michael Tinsley was 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI, and Colby Wright and Joven Afenir each contributed two hits.

But only one of five KU pitchers could slow the Gophers (29-13).

Tyler Davis surrendered five hits over 32⁄3 scoreless innings, with a walk and four strikeouts.

“Great job by Davis,” Price said. “He goes out and puts the three zeroes up and stops the bleeding.

He gave us a chance to get back in it and we did. We cut the lead, 9-7.”

Kansas will host No. 8 Texas Tech, Friday through Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Juco guard signs with KU

Eboni Watts, who played the past two women’s basketball seasons at Tallahassee Community College, has signed a national letter of intent with Kansas University, KU coach Brandon Schneider announced Wednesday.

A native of Macon, Ga., Watts started 21 games and played in 22 as a sophomore last season.

A 5-foot-6 guard, Watts averaged 14.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game last season. She shot 33.7 percent from the field and was named to the All-Panhandle Conference Team.

“Eboni is a strong, athletic guard who adds depth to our perimeter,” Schneider said. “Offensively, she has a terrific mid-range Cozart on the sideline, game, and her strength, just in case. quickness and hard-nosed Looking ahead to 2017, mentality enable her to Willis will be a junior, be very disruptive on the and Tyriek Starks, the defensive end.” raw, high-ceiling, dualShe is the second signee threat recruit from New during the 2016 signing Orleans, likely will be period.

And Cozart will be in his second season at his new position, the one at which, if all goes well, he could develop into an NFL prospect.

Hicks

freshman year at BYU, where the former fivestar QB began his promising career by setting several BYU freshman passing records.

That 2010 season, in which Heaps threw for 2,316 yards and 15 touchdowns, was easily the best of his college career.

During his lone season at KU, Heaps threw for 1,410 yards with eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions while completing just 49 percent of his passes.

Despite not playing much at Miami, Heaps received his first crack at pro football with the New York Jets. He made a couple of cuts, appeared in a preseason game or two and almost made the team.

ago, I never would’ve dreamed I would have even been a pole vaulter at all,” Hicks said. “But I’d definitely say it’s a great thing. I love it so much, and I’m really excited to see where I go.”

The key for Hicks, who finished runner-up at the Kansas Relays earlier this season, was putting in extra work during the summer after her sophomore year. That’s when she transformed from an elite gymnast doing pole vaulting to one of the top vaulters in the state.

Competing for the Firebirds in gymnastics, Hicks took fourth on the uneven bars and fifth on the vault last season. She led Free State to a state title in 2014, placing 10th all-around.

The team is made of the top-10 Big 12 golfers based on GolfStat rankings. Kawinpakorn ranks 20th nationally, second in the Big 12 and two spots behind 18th-ranked Gabby Barker of Texas Tech.

This marks Kawinpakorn’s second career All-Big 12 honor, having previously been named to the 2013-14 All-Big 12 Team. Kawinpakorn’s selection is the fifth time in Kansas in history that a Jayhawk has been selected to the All-Big 12 Team. Amanda Costner was named in back-toback years (2006 and 2007), while Emily Powers (200710) was selected in Kawinpakorn 2008.

Kawinpakorn and teammate Pornvipa Sakdee will compete as individuals at the NCAA Regional, today through Saturday in Shoal Creek, Ala.

KU thrower Levy honored by Big 12 Kansas University senior thrower Daina Levy was named the Big 12 trackand-field athlete of the week after a season-best mark and victory in the hammer throw at the Rock Chalk Classic.

Levy, who also earned the weekly award during the indoor season, won the Rock Chalk Classic throw with a season-best mark of 224 feet, 3 inches. That was a Rock Chalk Park facility record and ranks third on KU’s all-time hammerthrow list.

Mill Valley tips LHS tennis Elliott Abromeit and Brendan Connor won singles matches, and Sam Allen and Connor teamed to win in doubles during Lawrence High’s 7-3 loss to Mill Valley in high school boys tennis Wednesday at LHS. Abromeit won at No. 1 singles and Connor at No. 4, and Allen and Connor at No. 2 doubles.

“Elliott won his No. 1 singles match and played well,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said. “Brendan won a singles match and played well.”

Cleavinger stellar for O’s Former Lawrence High left-hander Garrett Cleavinger has continued his winning ways since signing with the Baltimore Orioles organization after pitching for the University of Oregon for three years.

Cleavinger, 22, was named Orioles minor league pitcher of the month after going 3-0 with a 1.84 ERA in six relief appearances in April for the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Class A South Atlantic League. He went 6-1 for the Aberdeen IronBirds of the short-season NY Penn League.

“Summer is just a good time for (vaulting) because it’s a really inconsistent sport, and it takes a lot of work to get it consistent,” Hicks said.

“Not having school or anything like that, I could spend more time working on it.”

Pole vaulting is an inconsistent sport, but Hicks has made it look easy this season. Outside of her runner-up finish in the Kansas Relays, she has won every meet.

One of the bonuses of competing at the Relays, going up against some of training partners, was the opportunity to vault at her future home.

“I wanted to be close to home,” Hicks said of choosing KU. “Actually, three reasons: I love Lawrence, I love the vault program and the athletes and coaches at KU. I just think it’s going to be the best thing ever.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Zobrist powers Cubs Red Sox 5, White Sox 2 Chicago — David Ortiz hit his 509th home run to put Boston ahead to stay.

Ortiz’s two-run shot to right field off Carlos Rodon in the fifth inning tied him with Gary Sheffield for 25th all-time.

The Associated Press

National League Cubs 6, Pirates 2 Pittsburgh — Ben Zobrist hit a three-run home run, Anthony Rizzo also connected, and Jon Lester worked out of a pair of jams to lead Chicago over Pittsburgh on Wednesday for a three-game sweep.

Zobrist’s third-inning homer put Chicago ahead after center fielder Andrew McCutchen dropped Rizzo’s two-out liner for an error.

With its seventh win in eight games, Chicago improved to a majorleague-best 20-6. The Cubs have won seven straight road games and completed their first sweep in Pittsburgh since Sept. 7-9, 2012.

They lead second-place Pittsburgh by six games in the NL Central.
