High court weighs school funding arguments

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — An attorney for the state of Kansas told the state Supreme Court on Tuesday that lawmak-

ers made a good faith effort to make public school funding more equitable, and he urged the court not to follow through on its threat to close public schools on July 1.

“The first principle is

that the schools should be open in August,” Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister told the court.

“No one, except apparently the plaintiffs now, wants to close the schools.

There’s no reason for the

court to strike the entire funding system.”

But the attorney for plaintiffs in the long-running school finance case Gannon v. Kansas said that lawmakers played little more than a shell game,

shuffling money between different silos of education funds, and that, if anything, they made the funding system in Kansas more unfair than it was before.

Attorney Alan Rupe urged the court to sim-

ply lift the stay on a lower court’s order to repeal the new formula and order that the previous formula that lawmakers repealed in 2015 be put back into effect, Please see FUNDING, page 2A

City open to softer ban on fireworks

A (re)useful idea

SECOND-GRADERS AT PRAIRIE PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LINE UP to dump several classrooms worth of recycling into a new recycling bin Tuesday at the school. For an Earth Day project, a group of second-graders made a petition and collected over 300 signatures from other students to add a recycling dumpster to their school grounds. The students will be in charge of emptying classroom recycling into the large bins daily.

Elementary students successfully lobby for recycling program

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The student petition delivered to the desks of Lawrence school district officials had hundreds of signatures.

Some of them fill the entire line with unsteady lettering; others consist of only a first name printed in capital

letters. Despite their varying penmanship, the effect is the same: The names fill line after line under a proposal to expand the recycling program at Prairie Park Elementary School.

The petition, drafted by secondgraders at Prairie Park, requests larger recycling bins for the school, which was limited by the capacity of household-sized carts. The idea came about

following a lesson about Earth Day, and the students visited classrooms in kindergarten through fifth grades to gather the signatures, collecting 327 in all.

Their efforts have since paid off. A recycling dumpster was recently delivered to replace the two household-

What was intended to be a conversation on strengthening enforcement of Lawrence’s fireworks ban turned into a broader discussion Tuesday about whether the ban works and if police should even issue citations.

Lawrence resident Melinda Henderson and Brooklynne Mosley, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Lawrence VFW post commander, went to the City Commission with a request that a more concerted effort be made to enforce an existing, 14-year-old ban on fireworks.

They made the request, in part, beCITY cause fireworks can COMMISSION cause negative reactions in veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“In 2014, I was hanging out with combat veterans, and I watched a 28-year-old veteran shake like a leaf, holding my dog, also shaking like a leaf, saying, ‘Don’t worry, I’m scared, too,’” Mosley said. “Saying we can’t do anything really isn’t acceptable, especially if there’s an ordinance already in place.”

Owners of two local fireworks stands also spoke Tuesday.

Longtime GOP activist speaks out Bledsoe files lawsuit against justice on $50 million Kansas tax dispute officials for wrongful imprisonment

By Peter Hancock

phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Longtime Kansas Republican activist and retired businessman Gene Bicknell spoke out publicly this week about his longrunning tax dispute with the state of Kansas, accusing the state and Gov. Sam Brownback of “tax extortion.”

“I have a tax dispute with the State of Kansas,” Bicknell wrote in a statement released to several Kansas media outlets this week. “I have been subject to some of the most incredible conduct by the Governor and his admin-

istration in an effort to extort money from me. I have stayed quiet and not wanted to fight matters in the press — until now.”

Before retiring, Bicknell was the founder of National Pizza Co., which be- Bicknell came one of the largest owners of Pizza Hut franchises in the country.

An ardent Republican, he ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for governor in 1986 and 1994.

Later in the 1990s, he bought a home in Florida and retired there in 2003. That year, he said, he registered

DONALD EUGENE SHEPARD Services for Donald Eugene Shepard, 80, Lawrence are pending and will be announced by Warren­McElwain Mortuary. He passed away Mon., May 9th at LMH. warrenmcelwain.com.

VIRGINIA L. MESERVE Virginia Louise Haynes Meserve (Ginny) was born December 18, 1923 to Mary Smith Haynes and Conrad Bryan Haynes in North Carolina.

She carried her southern roots with her wherever she lived—even to Kansas where she moved in 1951 to Lawrence, right after the flood. Iowa Street was a dirt road then and she said Lawrence was the dirtiest town she had ever seen, but still made it her home for over sixty years.

Ginny earned a degree in art from Women’s College of the University of North Carolina in 1945 and was a founding member of the Lawrence Art Guild.

She drew throughout her life and as a member of the Lawrence Art Guild helped start Art in the Park, where she always had small paintings and sketches for children to buy at 25 cents or less.

Art was part of her and she wanted to share it with others.

She was happy to create cards, pictures, and drawings anytime someone needed a special picture.

Ginny was involved with her church and friends. She was a long time (65 year) member of

Plymouth Congregational Church, designing banners for different seasons as well as posters for the bell choir, concerts, and other events.

In addition to sharing a ‘cuppa’ coffee with friends at any time, Ginny was a member of several bridge clubs, the PEO, and ­ later in life ­ the White Hats Club.

Ginny had four children: Gayle Stuber (Allan); Peter Meserve (Jan); Jo Mach (Bill); and, David Meserve (Shari).

She also had 6 grandchildren: Kate, Cecelia, Uriah, Mary, Caroline, and Charlie.

She was special to all of us—and gave us the most precious of gifts: kindness, support, and love.

Ginny will be missed by all of us: family, friends, and extended family members.

The family will have a private ceremony later this year.

Online condolences may be sent to warrenmcelwain.com.

Funding CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

an order that would cost at least another $30 million at a time when the state’s budget is already out of balance.

“There may be some need for the Legislature to access some additional resources,” Rupe said. “You certainly have the power in this remedy phase, as part of your constitutional powers, to restrict other spending in state government until or unless the schools receive other funds.”

“That may seem harsh,” Rupe said. “The schools are like the courts, like voting, like jury trials. There is a constitutional requirement that those services continue to operate.”

The seven justices — including two who don’t normally sit with the court — are expected to decide the equity portion of the case within a matter of weeks.

That’s when the state’s nearly 490,000 public school students, along with their parents, teachers and elected representatives, will learn whether the court intends to follow through with its threat to close the state’s school system until lawmakers come up with a constitutional method of funding them.

McAllister, who is also a Kansas University law professor, argued that what the plaintiffs requested would be a gross violation of the doctrine of separation of powers.

“We will no longer have a separation of powers if that is the remedy here,” he said. “That just can’t be an answer.”

Instead, McAllister said the court should uphold the law as constitutional.

But if it finds some part of the law unconstitutional, such as changes in the way local option budgets, or LOBs, are equalized, it could strike down the LOB provisions alone and leave the rest of the funding formula in place.

A local option budget is a way for local school districts to supplement funding from the state with local tax dollars.

But Justice Dan Biles noted that state funding for LOBs accounts for about $1.1 billion out of the entire $4 billion education budget, and he questioned whether lawmakers really would have passed a funding plan without that money.

Biles, who did most of the questioning during oral arguments, indicated that he was running out of patience.

He noted that the Gannon case has been before a three-judge district

“It wasn’t a decision that was easy to make,” said Bledsoe, who was with three of his attorneys. “But ultimately accountability has to happen. People cannot just randomly pick and choose what they want and who they want to blame. And for that very reason we are here today.”

Bledsoe, 39, was released from prison after his brother, Tom Bledsoe, committed suicide in Bonner Springs in November of last year and left a note confessing for the second time to killing Zetta “Camille” Arfmann, 14, who was the sister of Floyd’s then wife.

On Tuesday he was with attorneys Russell Ainsworth, Ruth Brown and Theresa Kleinhaus of Loevy & Loevy, a national law firm that he recently hired.

Ainsworth said the firm specializes in wrongful conviction cases across the country and has won several multimilliondollar judgments. In Chicago alone the firm has amassed more than $100 million in settlements involving police misconduct and brutality, according to Crain’s, a Chicago business publication.

On Nov. 5, 1999, Arfmann went missing, and Floyd and his wife called police and friends to try to find her. But by the end of the weekend, Floyd’s brother had confessed first to his pastor, then to his parents, then to his pastor again, to sheriff’s deputies and finally to Vanderbilt, the county attorney.

Ainsworth said Tom provided details only the killer would know. But within a short period, Tom’s story had changed and Floyd was charged with the crime.

Ainsworth said several questions have not been answered, including: “Why was an inno-

“

At what point does this process have to stop? How many years do we operate unconstitutionally before we say the music stops and we have to stop dancing?”

— Kansas Supreme Court Justice Dan Biles court panel three times, and twice before the Supreme Court, and that the state has lost its case at every turn.

“At what point does this process have to stop?” he asked. “How many years do we operate unconstitutionally before we say the music stops and we have to stop dancing?”

But McAllister repeated his argument that the Legislature acted “in good faith, during a tough budget year,” and that many states, not just Kansas, have had difficulty achieving equitable funding during volatile economic times.

There are two main issues involved in the case.

The first, which the court heard Tuesday, is whether state funds are distributed equitably among the 286 unified school districts.

In February, the court said they were not, not-

cent man sent to prison for over 15 years for a crime he did not commit?

Why did the police and the prosecutor go to such lengths to prosecute the man they knew to be innocent, and free a killer?”

Ainsworth said documents were missing.

There are no sheriff’s reports to document Tom’s confessions and how Tom came to change his story to say his brother killed Arfmann.

“Sixteen years later, we have not been provided any police reports documenting Tom’s initial statements and confessions to the police, which is extremely suspicious,” Ainsworth said.

“When you have a case where someone is confessing to murder, Homicide 101 tells you to write down the confessions.

Had Floyd had the initial confession documented and provided to him, he would have known that Tom was providing facts that could only have been known by the true killer.”

Ainsworth pointed to Tom’s suicide note: “I sent a innocent man to prison,” Tom, 41, wrote.

“The Jefferson County police and county attorney Jim Vanderbilt made me do it. I was told by Vanderbilt to keep my mouth shut. Now I am going to set things right.”

Vanderbilt was eventually disbarred over problems in other criminal cases, as well as over personal problems, including failing to pay $60,000 in back child support. He could not be reached for comment.

Dunnaway has retired and lives in the Perry Lake area. He too could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but told the Journal-World last year that he did not do anything wrong.

The lawsuit also names Michael Hayes, the criminal defense attorney who represented Tom, as part of the conspiracy. Hayes “acted in concert with” others and “reached a meeting of the minds,” the lawsuit said.

Prosecutors mull charges in officer’s killing

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — A man suspected of gunning down a police detective in Kansas was charged Tuesday with shooting and wounding a woman in a botched carjacking in Missouri moments before he was shot by police and captured.

Prosecutors in Kansas’ Wyandotte County still were weighing charges against Curtis Ayers in the shooting death of Brad Lancaster, a 39-year-old detective who was killed while responding to a report of a suspicious person near a casino. Chris Schneider, a spokesman for the Wyandotte County prosecutor, said charges in Lancaster’s death likely would come today.

The intentional killing of a police officer carries a possible death sentence in Kansas.

In Missouri, Jackson County prosecutors charged Ayers with firstdegree assault, resisting arrest, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon and three counts of armed criminal action. Prosecutors requested a $250,000 cash bond for the 28-yearold Tonganoxie man, who police said was hospitalized in stable condition.

Court documents included with the charges allege that Ayers, when ultimately cornered by police after Lancaster’s death, shot and wounded a woman during an attempted carjacking and fired at another motorist before being shot by an officer.

Lancaster was shot Monday afternoon near the Kansas Speedway racetrack in Kansas City, Kan. police said. Lancaster, an Air Force veteran and married father of two daughters, died three hours later after undergo—Reporter Karen Dillon can be reached ing surgery, his department at kdillon@ljworld.com or at 832-7162. said.

ing that lower-wealth districts had to levy higher property taxes at the local level than richer districts in order to provide comparable educational programs. It gave lawmakers until July 1 to cure that problem.

But the larger issue at stake is whether overall funding for public schools is sufficient to make sure students can meet minimum academic achievement standards that the court has set out, standards known as the Rose capacities.

A lower court has ruled twice that overall funding is not sufficient, suggesting the state may need to add as much as $500 million a year in additional funding. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in that portion of the case later this spring or early summer.

Currently, though, the court is weighing the fairness of how the state distributes so-called “equalization aid,” which subsidizes two pots of money that districts have at their disposal: local option budgets, which is extra money districts can raise above and beyond their state-determined general fund budgets; and capital outlay, which districts use for big-ticket purchases such as furniture, equipment, building

Mental health advocate: County justice plan on right track

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

A presentation from a national advocate for mental health and criminal justice Tuesday indicated Douglas County is doing the right things to reduce the number of individuals with mental illness or substance abuse problems in the county jail.

At the invitation of the Doug-

las County Sheriff’s Office, Risë Haneberg, now a senior policy adviser with the Council of State Governments Justice Center and former criminal justice coordinator for Johnson County, shared with law enforcement and behavior health professionals from five counties a presentation she made last week in Washington, D.C., as part of the Stepping Up Initiative.

Founded a year ago this month by the Justice Center, the National Association of Counties and the American Psychiatric Association, the Stepping Up Initiative seeks to work with local, state and national leaders to reduce the incarceration rate of those with mental health and substance addictions.

Mike Brouwer, re-entry director of the Douglas County

Corrections, said it wasn’t surprising the county was aligned with much of what Haneberg advocated during her presentation at the Law Enforcement Center. He encouraged the county to join the initiative when he saw that it was pushing for many of the things the county was doing, he said.

Douglas County is one of eight Kansas counties that have

Water under the bridge

formally joined the initiative.

Haneberg said although there has been a great deal of recognition of late for the need to address the issue, much of the focus was on prisons.

Data, however, indicates more people with mental illness or substance abuse are incarcerated are in county jails, she said.

KU’s CLAS creating new administrative position for diversity Heard on the Hill

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

I

noticed last week that Kansas University is creating a new administrative position for diversity and inclusion: an associate dean of diversity and inclusion. Here’s some more information about that job.

The associate dean of diversity and inclusion will report to and advise the dean of KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, according to a KU

job listing. The search is — or was, as applications are no longer being accepted — internal and open only to CLAS faculty members with a rank of associate or full professor. The selected candidate will spend either three-fourths or half of his or her time on the administrative role of “addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion” and the remainder

on faculty duties.

KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson didn’t give me a specific dollar figure for salary.

She said the job will pay the faculty member’s academic-year salary, four pay periods of summer salary plus an administrative supplement as determined by the dean.

She did explain some about how the position came to be, noting

that CLAS is the largest school at KU. “One of the first actions Dean Carl Lejuez took was to create a working group to identify opportunities to improve diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the College,” BarcombPeterson said. “One of the group’s recommendations was to create an associate dean position dedicated to addressing those issues.”

I know of two candi-

dates for the new job, though there may be others. The Office of Multicultural Affairs recently hosted informal meet-and-greets for candidates professor Jennifer Hamer and associate professor Shannon Portillo.

The Democrat was first elected to the office in 2004.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree said the boy was transferred from Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. An update on the boy’s condition was not available Tuesday afternoon, Tolefree said.

Lawrence school district spokeswoman Julie Boyle, citing student privacy rights, declined to provide a condition update for the boy, who is a student at Free State High School.

Around 12:30 p.m. Monday emergency responders were called to the pond, which sits between Overland Drive and Champion Lane.

The pond is not on school property and is located between the school and Theatre Lawrence,

The reason most often is “there is no where else for them to go,” she said.

Haneberg stressed the need to identify “criminogenic” risk factors in the two populations, and not just factors like criminal history, current charges, age of first arrest, age and gender. Noting that a vast majority of people with mental illness do not become involved with the criminal justice system, it was just as important to identify and address risk factors as treat their mental illness, she said.

Throughout her presentation, Haneberg stressed the necessity for thorough documentation, the ability of different agencies and departments to share and make sense of that data and the need to track programs’ effectiveness.

cies is an area Douglas County officials admit needs improvement.

Brouwer said Jason Matejkowski, whom the county has hired as a consultant through the Kansas University School of Social Welfare, was working to collate and aggregate the data from the different agencies for the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.

Although county leadership was now informed and supportive of efforts to reshape the criminal justice system, those commissioners and key county staffers eventually would leave their positions, Brouwer said. It is important to have data that supports programming and funding that improves the criminal justice system to share with those who follow, he said.

Haneberg suggested six questions should be asked when evaluating whether the county was in position to reduce incarceration numbers among the two populations. Those were:

l Is leadership committed? l Does the system have timely screening and assessment? l Does the county have baseline data of jail populations, length of stay, percentage receiving treatment and recidivism? l Has the county conducted a comprehensive process analysis and service analysis and service inventory? l Has the county prioritized policy, practice and funding? l Does the county track progress?

Some of the measures Haneberg suggested were tasks the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council was asked to undertake when it was formed in March, including identifying gaps in the system, identifying costs and funding and the ongoing evaluation of programs.

of dollar amount is a $67,775 recommendation from the Douglas County Sustainability Office to fund a nine-month planning process to aid the Delaware Tribe in developing 90 acres of property in North Lawrence near the Interstate 70 interchange.

According to the grant recommendation, the planning process would begin an effort to develop the property as an educational site for youths and a nutritional outreach source, and for the production of crops for local markets.

Other project recommendations: l $30,000 for Flint Hills Investments to make structural improvements to the Turnhalle building, 900 Rhode Island St. l $26,728 for a new heating and air-conditioning system and installation of ultraviolet window treatments at the

Territorial Capital Museum in Lecompton. l $13,230 for planned Friends of the Kaw activities to clean up, restore and promote fishing on the Kansas River. l $8,000 for Douglas County Conservation District’s Douglas County Water Festival, which is meant to raise awareness of and appreciation for county water resources among fifth-grade students. l $5,000 for a civil rights interactive exhibit kiosk at the Watkins Museum of History. l $4,000 for the Clinton Lake Historical Society for completion of a site master plan and planning for a large-group meeting space at the Wakarusa River Valley Heritage Museum.

— Fireworks vendor Jeremy Long Commissioner Matthew Herbert said arresting minors was “extreme.” He suggested Lawrence police be directed to only confiscate fireworks, which is less time-consuming than issuing citations.

According to the data, police currently confiscate fireworks on an average 17 occasions each Fourth of July weekend.

In response to the conversation, Henderson said: “I didn’t want a discussion on modifying the ordinance. My hope was that we could begin the process of figuring out a better way to enforce the ban.”

City commissioners directed City Manager Tom Markus and Khatib to look at the issue and present ideas. Mayor Mike Amyx also asked, at Henderson’s request, whether a small committee should be formed to make a recommendation on the ban and its enforcement.

In other business, commissioners: l Voted unanimously to send back to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission a request for rezoning that would allow for a professional office building in the Alvamar Country Club redevelopment.

The City Commission wants the planning commission to consider whether office space should be allowed under certain conditions, such as limiting the amount of square footage to which the building could grow and the kind of offices it could house.

asked that the planning commission determine a method to ensure the area that is currently a golf course remain a golf course. l Unanimously approved awarding a bid for street construction surrounding the HERE Kansas apartment and retail development. Under a cost-sharing agreement with HERE developers, the city is to pay $258,439.50, and developers $1,262,351. l Adopted ordinances changing City Commission elections from April of odd-years to November of odd-years. The ordinances also included recommendations from a subcommittee of Larsen and Herbert to move the mayoral election cycle onto the same schedule.

The subcommittee decided Amyx should stay in the role of mayor until January 2017, when the City Commission will elect a new mayor.

All of the ordinances were passed unanimously, besides one changing the terms of current commissioners. Commissioner Stuart Boley said he wouldn’t approve it because he didn’t want to vote on lengthening his own term.

The end date of Amyx’s, Larsen’s and Herbert’s terms were extended from April 2017 to January 2018, and Soden’s and Boley’s terms from April 2019 to January 2020.

Department of Revenue, however, alleges he was still legally a Kansas resident.

Bicknell said he is now concerned that Brownback is planning to veto a bill passed in the closing hours of the legislative session because the final version did not include a change in tax law that Brownback had sought, one that would have prevented Bicknell and other people with income tax disputes from appealing their cases to district court where they could have a full “de novo” trial, with the opportunity to present evidence and make arguments of law.

“The Governor’s brazen and clandestine late night efforts on Saturday, April 30th to take away my right

sized recycling carts that previously served the entire school. On Tuesday, students excitedly collected paper to recycle, some still in disbelief.

“It surprised me that we got what we wanted because we’re only in second grade,” said 8-year-old Keira Norris, who helped gather signatures for the petition. “Now I don’t have to worry about anything not being recycled.”

About 350 students attend Prairie Park, and the petition explains that the school’s recycling bins would fill quickly, causing some materials to be thrown away instead. District officials said they were impressed by the students’ effort, and they coordinated with the city to modify the school’s recycling program.

“They did a really good job of stating their case and giving good reasoning behind it,” said Tony Barron, director of facilities and operations for the district.

In addition to arranging for the delivery of a recycling dumpster from the city, the district provided rolling collection bins for the school’s common areas.

Prairie Park is one of two elementary schools this school year to improve its recycling as a result of a student-led effort.

In December, a group of fifth-graders at Cordley Elementary expanded their school’s program as well.

However, many schools in the district still have limited recycling. Barron said that only the six secondary schools and a few elementary schools in the district have recycling dumpsters. The remainder of the district’s 21 schools still use the householdsized recycling carts.

Those carts fill up quickly, said Lori Greenfield, who teaches second grade at Prairie Park.

“Most of the time it

and the right of all Kansas income taxpayers to a fair trial in a court of law was just too much for me to stay silent any longer,” Bicknell wrote.

Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, who served on the conference committee that produced the final version of Senate Bill 280, said the controversy began last year when lawmakers passed a bill allowing anyone to appeal a tax dispute from the Board of Tax Appeals, an administrative hearing body within the Department of Revenue, to a district court.

Prior to the change last year, taxpayers could appeal a BOTA decision to the Kansas Court of Appeals, where the burden of proof was on the taxpayer to show that BOTA had erred in its decision.

Bicknell made such an appeal, and the appellate court agreed with him,

People who work hard all their lives and move from Kansas to retire in warmer climates or to live near family and friends are the ones to suffer from the Governor’s secret program.”

— Retired businessman Gene Bicknell sending the case back to BOTA for a new hearing.

BOTA then appealed that ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court, which has not yet decided the case.

Late in the session this year, Holland said, the conference committee worked on a bill that mainly dealt with details of property tax law. But he said the House wanted a provision that would scale back last year’s change so that only property tax appeals — not appeals of rulings on income taxes or any other kind of taxes — could be appealed to district court.

ucate others about the new program, and they will also be the ones to empty the classroom bins.

The students are now in the process of enlisting volunteers from the approximately 20 classrooms at Prairie Park. The student volunteers will help offset the extra work required of custodial staff by depositing recyclable materials into the new bins, which custodians will deposit in the dumpster.

Through the multistep process, the students are also learning another lesson, Greenfield said.

“If there’s something they want to do, they can create change in whatever facet it might be,” Greenfield said. “Whether it’s school or community or home, if you go through the problem-solving steps, you can create change.”

would fill up in a day, and then it took two weeks before they would come and dump it,” Greenfield said. “So if we collected it in our rooms there was nowhere to take it.”

The district hopes to improve recycling options for schools. Barron said the goal is to have recycling dumpsters at all schools by the fall of next year, but a hurdle to realizing that goal is the additional labor it requires of school staff.

“That’s the toughest part, is we’re understaffed from a custodial standpoint,” Barron said. “So trying to work with the schools to get (recyclable materials) from the classroom to the dumpster is the biggest challenge right now.”

Barron said recycling programs are not district led, so it’s up to schools to coordinate logistics of their programs. For Prairie Park, that means students are creating posters to ed-

Holland said that bill met stiff resistance on the floor of the Senate. And so it was sent back to the conference committee, which restored the original language allowing all tax cases to be appealed to district court.

Holland said the language limiting appeals was requested by House negotiators. But Bicknell said Brownback had fought the idea of allowing de novo appeals to district court when lawmakers first passed the reform bill last year.

“In an effort to defeat the reform legislation in (2015),

Sam Brownback pulled out as many tricks as he could, including the incredible statement I understand was made by his Secretary of Revenue (Nick Jordan) to state legislators that they needed to vote down the taxpayers right to a fair trial because in my specific case, ‘if he (Bicknell) gets to district court, he will win,’” Bicknell said.

Jordan declined to comment on Bicknell’s statement, saying the department does not comment on pending litigation.

Brownback’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday afternoon.

In his statement, Bicknell said it was former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, who began the “secret” practice of targeting for audits people with high incomes who filed nonresident returns. But he said the policy has con-

tinued under the Brownback administration.

“People who work hard all their lives and move from Kansas to retire in warmer climates or to live near family and friends are the ones to suffer from the Governor’s secret program,” he said.

He also decried the Board of Tax Appeals, which until recently was known as the Court of Tax Appeals, because the judges who serve on it are not necessarily lawyers, and all are appointed by the governor.

“I will continue to fight this fight to get a real court of law to hear my case,” Bicknell said. “I hope the citizens of Kansas can have that right too — they deserve it and I think the U.S. Constitution guarantees it.”

Mom missing grown son should stay optimistic Dear Annie: We raised our son in the Midwest, and paid for his tuition to follow his dream to go to an Ivy League college where he met his future wife.

Now that he is married, he lives in a large East Coast city and is surrounded by his wife’s family. We barely hear from him.

Our son and his wife go on luxury vacations with her family and spend time with them at the holidays.

On those rare occasions when we do see him, he is not particularly nice. This has caused some problems between my husband and me, because he accepts the reality of the situation better than I do.

I am truly heartbroken. This was a little boy that I adored. I never imagined that

the later chapters of his life would cause me so much sadness. I have no idea what to do and instead try very hard to keep him out of my thoughts.

How is it possible that boys raised in loving homes can so easily leave them behind? Any suggestions? — Mom of Three Dear Mom: It is terribly sad, but not uncommon, for young men to marry women

‘Americans’ react to a TV event The hardest part about period pieces is depicting fictional people reacting to “real” historic events. Some of the most forced moments on “Mad Men” involved the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Kennedy assassination. They seemed perfunctory and added little to the story.

Tonight’s episode of “The Americans” (9 p.m., FX, TVMA) takes its characters through another kind of historical “reality.” We see those on both sides of the Iron Curtain watching and reacting to the ABC m a d e for-TV movie “The Day After,” a controversial broadcast watched by more than 100 million viewers on Nov. 20, 1983.

The episode seems nostalgic, not for the Cold War, but for a television experience that might inspire thought and conversation about a serious topic.

We’re shown a network introduction to the movie warning viewers that it could be too scary for children (always catnip for young viewers) and suggesting that families watch the film together.

It’s useful to think back on a time before the “What do we tell the children?” attitude took hold, before parents were encouraged to shield their young from difficult subjects. Instead, they were expected to discuss these topics in a reasonable and reassuring fashion, even when there were no easy answers.

Americans, like the people on “The Americans,” survived “The Day After” and the Cold War. But they didn’t build a “safe space” around it.

O At a time when people just can’t seem to pull together, “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) shows how critters, some deadly rivals, collaborate for survival and sometimes just for comfort. Hippos are huge, ornery and dangerous.

But they’ve got tender skin that hurts when it’s covered in bugs and ticks. So they’ve learned to bathe and even snooze in shallow waters, where schools of barbel fish nibble on their aching epidermis and even pick at food particles between the hippos’ teeth. It’s nutritious for the fish and a spa treat for the big guys. Everybody’s a winner.

We also learn about another type of fish that rubs up against the sandpaper skin of deadly sharks, offering a skin treatment for all concerned. Lizards and lions, tarantulas and toads, goby fish and blind shrimp all get along! Why can’t we?

Tonight’s other highlights

O A castaway feels betrayed

by a former ally on “Survivor” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14). This has never, ever happened before!

O Hakeem worries that his fiancee won’t fit in on “Empire” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O A railroad saga on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

who discourage closeness with the husband’s family. And based on your son’s reaction, he has grown accustomed to it and may even prefer it that way. There is no point crying over it or criticizing your son repeatedly because he doesn’t spend more time with you. This will only make every interaction unpleasant and reinforce the same behavior.

Here are our suggestions: All conversation should be positive. Ask about his wife and children with genuine interest and caring.

Keep your jealousy in check. Send short, newsy emails, so your son doesn’t feel distant from his family.

Haskell vision The dollar amounts are daunting, but Haskell Indian Nations University now has the information it needs to move forward on campus upgrades.

D

efining a problem is the first step in solving it.

A study that estimates it will take $111 million to $123 million to upgrade facilities at Haskell Indian Nations University certainly is daunting, but quantifying the needs is the first step in attracting government and private funding to address those needs.

The facilities report presented last week to Haskell’s National Board of Regents is a no-frills assessment of the university’s most critical needs. The list includes a new building for the business school and one for science, technology and math programs. The plan would provide a new “one-stop” building for admissions and financial aid offices and new student housing along with renovations to existing dorms and academic spaces. That work, along with a new home for Haskell’s on-campus child care facility, add up to about $111.7 million. To restore Haskell’s historic Hiawatha Hall, which has fallen into such disrepair that it no longer is in use, would raise the price tag to $123.1 million.

The only way to address these issues is to simply get started, which is what the Haskell regents decided to do, passing resolutions supporting various ways to implement the plan. Additional federal funding obviously is warranted for the nation’s only four-year university run by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education, but Haskell officials also are hoping to attract investments from American Indian tribes and other private donors across the country.

Key to their plans is the revitalized Haskell Foundation, which can accept donations while avoiding the prohibitively complex process required to give money directly to the federal school. A year ago, the foundation’s executive director set a goal of raising $70 million in the next 10 years. That would go a long way toward meeting Haskell’s facilities needs, which President Venida Chenault said she also hopes to address within the next decade.

Despite changing leadership and lackluster support from the federal government in recent years, Haskell has continued to build its programs and academic excellence. Rather than being discouraged by the challenges ahead, Chenault, who took over as president in January 2014, is setting a specific strategy to push Haskell to a positive future.

That vision deserves the support of government officials and tribal groups as well as the Lawrence community.

OLD HOME TOWN

Could things get crazy?

Will there be blood?

That question has gone conspicuously unasked as we enumerate the possible outcomes of November’s election. The potential impact on the nation’s economy, its foreign policy and its standing in the world have all been duly analyzed. But there has been little, if any, discussion of the potential for violence.

It is, of course, Donald Trump’s name on the ballot that necessitates the discussion. His rallies have erupted into brawls with depressing frequency; his followers assaulting demonstrators while he eggs them on.

And then there’s this: Last year, two South Boston brothers — Scott and Steve Leader — were arrested after allegedly peeing in the face of a homeless, 58-year-old Mexican immigrant sleeping on a bench. They beat him with a metal pole, breaking his nose.

Authorities say Scott Leader explained himself thusly: “Donald Trump was right.

All these illegals need to be deported.”

Trump’s initial response was simply to note that his followers “love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.” If that is the sort of “passion” a few rallies and speeches incite, how much worse would it be in the event — God help us all — of an actual Trump victory?

How emboldened in their bullyboy behavior would people like the Leader brothers become with one of their own in the White House?

And that’s not even the worst-case scenario. What if

“

What if Trump loses? His followers are already filled with fury and an exaggerated sense of their own victimhood and entitlement.”

the far more likely thing happens? What if Trump loses?

His followers are already filled with fury and an exaggerated sense of their own victimhood and entitlement.

What happens if an embarrassingly emphatic repudiation is added to that mix?

Hate crimes might be the least of our problems. The greater worry might be terrorism.

In a nation conditioned to think of terrorism as the exclusive province of Muslim fanatics with difficult names, the idea will strike some as ridiculous. But to be sanguine about the danger of radical right violence is to pretend Cliven Bundy’s armed standoff in Nevada and the armed takeover of federal property in Oregon never happened. And it is to ignore a litany of radical right terror plots enacted or interdicted in recent years.

Once again the Kansas Legislature has completed its session without actually doing the work it should be doing. Once, again, we have a budget that does not balance and will require the governor to make cuts at his discretion without legislative guidance.

Kansas should revisit core values

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 11, 1916: “Lawrence will co-operate with Baldwin in a July Fourth celebrayears tion. Action to this effect was ago taken in an executive session of IN 1916 the Merchants’ Association last night. Probably no celebration at Lawrence will be staged. Baldwin is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Black Jack. A desire has been expressed by the committee at Baldwin that the people of Lawrence help take part in the celebration.”

pics bombing to a New York state plot to murder Muslims by radiation poisoning, to a massacre at an African-American church in Charleston, to a mass shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs to, literally, dozens more, the radical right has hardly been shy about using violence to frighten people as a means of achieving their political goals — the dictionary definition of terrorism.

Small wonder Mark Potok, editor of Intelligence Report, the magazine of the Southern Poverty Law Center, does not laugh off the possibility of violence from aggrieved supporters of Donald Trump.

Radical right terror, he says, “is a worry anyway, as we go through this huge demographic transition in the United States. But the thing about Trump’s voters is that they are angry, they are riled up, and they are expecting to win.” If and when they don’t, he says, terrorism might well be their response.

It’s not as unthinkable as some of us will want to believe. Too often, as the right has descended into tribalistic incoherence, the rest of us have underestimated the crazy, baselessly reassuring ourselves that they’ll go this far, but surely no further.

And too often, we’ve been wrong. Maybe it’s time to abandon baseless reassurance. Maybe it’s time to take crazy at face value.

Will there be blood?

Here’s a better question: Will you honestly be surprised if there is?

Mike Hoeflich

“

I love Kansas. … It pains me when I see a group of politicians go about the process of destroying much that is the best of this state.” cynical government leadership in Kansas today I think it is instructive to look back at Kansas at another time, a time when the economy was also problematic, but in which our governor and the Legislature took a very different tack. The following are quotes from the “Governor’s Message” of Gov. John W. Leedy, to the Kansas Legislature for 1895-96: On social services and those who need them: “No class of people should receive the pity of their fellowman more than the inmates of our charitable institutions … all of them are human, born in the likeness of their Maker… Their care and comfort are a sacred

duty imposed upon us by humanity and all the better elements of our nature.”

On education: “The public school system of Kansas is the best evidence of the character of our people and the best promise of our future …Ignorance and freedom never go hand in hand. The founders of this commonwealth were determined that Kansas should not be ignorant and should be free. In order to achieve that general intelligence which is essential to successful citizenship, it is absolutely necessary that we should maintain a system of public schools that shall give the youth of this state ample opportunity to fit themselves for the duty of citizenship. In dealing with the educational institutions of the state, no niggardly hand should be used, whether you touch the humble country school or enter the halls of the great state institutions.”

If we Kansans once believed these words — and I hope we still believe these words — it is time to do something to bring us back to what we once were, what we once aspired to be and still can be if we simply tell our elected representatives that it is time for a change. ​ — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

PUBLIC FORUM

Passing the buck To the editor: Harry Truman, a man from Missouri who was good enough to be from Kansas, was famous for his statement as president that, “the buck stops here.”

Compare that, if you will, to our present governor of Kansas. Mr. Brownback, upon the release of his latest in a string of Kansas budget disasters (and an even further degradation of our credit rating) blamed it on factors outside his control.

Gov. Brownback, do you see a time when “the buck” will find a stopping place, or will it be doomed to a lonely, gypsy existence, like a ghost moaning on the Kansas prairie, until you (thankfully) leave office?

Daniel Patrick Schamle, Lawrence

Faith in ‘facts’ To the editor: Professor Krishtalka pillories conservatives and the GOP for not bowing to the scientific “facts,” not accepting that “science” has the answers for the world (Journal-World, May 5). He would have us accept those “facts” without question. Maybe he’ll explain why three-fourths of the papers that had to be recanted from scientific journals (mainly from the U.S., Germany and Japan) were due to fraud over the last decade.

Are these “god-like” messengers lying to us? Is there an outside agenda? Are they just trying to keep their well-paying jobs? Who has funded their research? Is there a conspiracy to push this agenda on us?

He uses the same vilifying tactics that liberal progressives use to silence any challenge. Yet, does not explain the data manipulations and discrepancies in computer modelling that are being used to predict this dire future. Change is always happening: The sudden drying of the lakes that fed the Nile may have doomed the great Egyptian civilization.

Antarctica was once a lush forest. The mini-Ice Age chilled and froze Europe.

Volcanoes have altered climate patterns.

How much faith should we put in the “facts” as presented by the new religion?

Are we, mere mortals, supposed to bow down to the unquestioned authority of science? Science may be able to chart the changes in our world and point to factors in that change, but is it the “all-knowing” force to be blindly accepted? Following the president to cut off and stifle dissent is not the mantra I will adhere to.

Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Unifying force?

To the editor: How can people call Donald Trump politically divisive when he united conservative columnist George Will and liberal columnist Leonard Pitts Jr.?

Both columnists soundly denounced Trump and his presidential campaign last Sunday in the Lawrence Journal-World (page 11A).

Hiroshima visit reopens old wounds Some may see Obama’s trip as apology for nuclear strike Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO President Obama’s planned appearance this month at Hiroshima, Japan, the site of a U.S. atomic bomb attack in 1945, is creating political controversy for him and his Japanese host.

The White House announced Tuesday that Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit the city May 27 “to highlight (Obama’s) continued com-

mitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Obama would be the first sitting U.S. president to appear at Hiroshima. The visit will follow the Group of Seven economic summit in Japan.

American veterans groups have urged Obama not to visit Hiroshima until the Japanese apologize for the wartime treatment of American prisoners of war, thousands of whom died of abuse and starvation in Japanese prison camps.

Although polls show most Japanese do not expect Obama to explicitly apologize for the bombing, many Japanese are likely to interpret his mere visit as an apology. The White House made clear Tuesday that he would not apologize.

“If people do interpret it that way, they’ll be interpreting it wrongly,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Washington, said any remarks by Obama at Hiroshima could be open to misinterpretation and spark controversy.

“If Obama chooses to make a speech while visiting … he would be in danger of his words being misinterpreted, politicized and overanalyzed as pundits debate what he said, what he should have said and what he did not say,” Hornung said in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun last month.

London’s Muslim mayor rebuffs Trump on ‘exception’ to ban Spurns offer, blasts ‘ignorant view of Islam’ Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

LONDON The British capital’s new mayor on Tuesday rejected Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s offer to make an “exception” to his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States by allowing Sadiq Khan.

Khan, a Muslim, was elected as mayor of London last week, the first person of his faith to under-

take the role.

On Monday, Trump said he was “happy to see” that Khan was voted in, according to The New York Times. When asked about how his proposed ban would affect Khan, 45, Trump said: “There will always be exceptions,” the Times reported.

“If he does a good job and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific thing,” Trump said in the newspaper.

Khan rejected Trump’s offer Tuesday. “Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe — it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays

into the hands of the extremists,” Khan said in a statement.

He added: “This isn’t just about me — it’s about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world.

Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam — London has proved him wrong.”

Trump called for the ban in December after Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people in a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif.

The Islamic State said the two were its followers.

In an interview with Time magazine, Khan said he would like to go to the United States to meet with American mayors.

“If Donald Trump becomes the president I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas,” he said. He said he planned to visit the United States before January in case Trump wins the presidential race.

Khan on Tuesday stepped down as a member of Britain’s Parliament for Tooting, the south London neighborhood where he was born, in order to be mayor full time.

Clinton’s W.Va. loss flags issues ahead Sanders celebrates victory; Trump coasts to easy win Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in West Virginia’s Democratic primary Tuesday, while Donald Trump, with no remaining challengers, claimed an easy victory there and in Nebraska among Republicans.

At a rally in Salem, Ore., following his win, Sanders, a Vermont senator, told supporters “it appears that we won a big, big victory in West Virginia.”

“West Virginia is a workingclass state, and like many other states in this country, including Oregon, working people are hurting,” he said. “And what the people of West Virginia said tonight, and I believe the people of Oregon and Kentucky will say next week, is that we need an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1 percent.”

Oregon and Kentucky each hold Democratic primaries next Tuesday. Given the Democratic Party’s proportional allocation system, Sanders stood to only modestly boost his delegate total with his West Virginia win.

While Clinton’s loss will probably matter little in her battle with Sanders given her large overall delegate lead, it is a powerful reminder of her challenges in a general election match-up with Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

West Virginia has a large number of working-class white voters, the demographic Trump hopes will carry him to victory in Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio in November.

Clinton’s performance in West Virginia — a state she won by a wide margin in the 2008 primaries — could point to problems with a voting bloc that supported her husband during the more economically prosperous 1990s.

These same voters feel left behind as manufacturing jobs have disappeared, and the coal industry has declined amid a shift to cleaner sources of energy.

Trump vows to bring coal and manufacturing jobs back to depressed pockets of Appalachia by slapping tariffs on China and reworking trade deals.

Alternatively, Clinton’s vision is to move these communities to a new generation of jobs, acknowledging a coal industry renaissance is not in the cards.

In a speech at southeastern Ohio brewery last week, Clinton said coal is still a part of the nation’s energy supply, but even big coal-consuming nations such as China are starting to burn less.

“No matter what some politicians tell you, these trends are here to stay,” she said.

It’s not a message West Virginians seem to want to hear.

Trump leads Clinton by 27 percentage points in West Virginia,

MATT MILLS MCKNIGHT, GETTY IMAGES

Republican candidate Donald Trump signs campaign hats after a rally Saturday in Lynden, Wash. according to a recent Public Policy Polling survey.

Along with his performance in West Virginia with white, working-class voters, he’s picking up steam in more critical Midwestern swing states that Clinton has to carry in November.

Democrats have assumed Clinton would beat Trump in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which voted twice for Barack Obama and are populated by the blue-collar, union households that have been the Democratic Party’s lifeblood for generations.

Yet a new Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll shows Clinton and Trump in a dead heat in two of them: Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Clinton is trying to cast Trump as a fraud whose rhetoric about helping lower-income Americans does not match his policies.

On Tuesday in Louisville, she said Trump “actually stood on a debate stage and argued that Americans are paid too much, not too little.”

In West Virginia, Clinton suffered from her association with Obama, whose policies have accelerated the nation’s shift to greener sources of energy without providing a safety net for workers dependent on the coal industry, according to Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat who represents the state.

“It’s been very harmful to the Democratic Party in West Virginia,” Manchin said during a recent Clinton campaign stop in Charleston.

Meanwhile, Trump for the first time faced a cleared field in GOP primaries in West Virginia and Nebraska (Democrats held a caucus there in March) after Ted Cruz and John Kasich ended their campaigns last week.

Kepler telescope discovery doubles number of exoplanets Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

The Kepler telescope has looked up in perfect silence at the stars and found more than 1,200 new worlds.

NASA said Tuesday that Kepler, constantly searching the cosmos for “exoplanets” circling other stars, has detected an additional 1,284 planets outside our solar system. That more than doubles the spacecraft’s previous tally of exoplanets.

“This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth,” said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA in Washington.

The latest batch of new worlds includes 100-plus that are roughly Earth-size and therefore almost certainly rocky, said Timothy Morton of Princeton University, who helped confirm the discovery. Planets that are rocky, rather than gassy, seem the best bet as incubators of life outside our own corner of the galaxy.

“This is the most exoplanets that have ever been announced at one time,” Morton said.

Among the most noteworthy of the new planets are Kepler-1638b and Kepler-1229b. Both are similar to the most Earth-like planets known from outside the solar system, said Natalie Batalha of NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The first is slightly bigger than Earth, while the second is roughly the same size as Earth.

Kepler-1229b is squarely in the “Goldilocks zone,” the belt of space the right distance from a star that a planet could boast liquid water on its surface. Kepler-1638b is in the inner edge of its Goldilocks zone. Yet both are so distant from Earth that it will be impossible to learn much more about them.

The surfeit of new planets can be credited to new math. Kepler, which launched in 2009 and stared at a particular spot near the constellation Cygnus for four years, excels at detecting possible planets. But Kepler isn’t terribly

most instantly during the attack Aug. 6, 1945, and an additional 40,000 died of injuries by year’s end. A second attack took place in Nagasaki three days later.

As of March 2015, more than 180,000 Japanese were listed as Hibakusha, survivors of the twin bombings. After being shunned in the initial postwar years, the survivors have come to be viewed with sympathy and support throughout much of Japanese society.

American veterans groups are unhappy about a visit because Abe has been accused of trying to whitewash Japan’s wartime conduct. Abe’s grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, was a wartime industry minister who was arrested on war crimes charges but released. He later became prime minister and a staunch supporter of the U.S.-Japanese defense alliance.

“Abe and his administration have been working since taking office to replace the established history of Japan’s abuses during the war with a denier’s view,” Jan Thompson, president of the American Defenders of Bataan

NASA

and Corregidor Memorial Society, a POW support group, wrote in a letter April 13 to Obama.

“Your visit will not merely be unreciprocated, it will sanction the Abe administration’s anti-historical efforts and abrogate your mission, which is to remind us all that we are capable of both good and bad.”

The release of the 2014 film Unbroken, directed by Angelina Jolie, was delayed more than a year in Japan by protests from right-wing and revisionist groups that claimed it presented an unfair view of Japan’s treatment of POWs. Secretary of State John Kerry made front-page news across Japan when he became the highestranking Cabinet official to visit Hiroshima last month. Kerry laid a wreath at the city’s Peace Memorial Park and visited the adjacent Peace Memorial Museum with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.

Kerry called the visit “gutwrenching” and said he hoped “everyone” would visit — a reference that some Japanese interpreted as including Obama.

the Americans for using the atomic bomb, but its hundreds of chilling exhibits and poignant artifacts include little or no mention of Japan’s participation in

World War II. Nor do they provide the context in which President Truman decided to drop the bomb — to hasten the war’s end and avoid potentially millions of casualties from a U.S. invasion that would have been launched had Japan not immediately surrendered after the bombing. It is an omission some foreign visitors find unsettling.

Although Kerry emphasized that his visit should not be regarded as an apology, much of the news coverage in Japan “zeroed in on the question of an American apology, scrutinizing Kerry’s remarks word by word and faulting him for avoiding any acknowledgment of U.S. culpability,” Hideaki Miyama, a veteran journalist and civic leader living in Hiroshima, said in an interview last month.

Miyama said that he was in favor of Obama visiting Hiroshima but that the president should not be asked to apologize.

Reducing nuclear weapons has been a key goal of Obama’s presidency and is one of the reasons he was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

skilled at confirming that these possible planets in fact are planets, rather than imposters such as very small stars.

Confirming Kepler’s “planet candidates” has in the past required painstaking studies with telescopes on Earth. But a new statistical method that takes into account factors such as the number of small stars in the galaxy allowed for fast, efficient confirmation of the latest candidates, paving the way for the record announcement Tuesday.

Kepler has enough fuel to last perhaps two more years, mission manager Charlie Sobeck of NASA Ames said. Even if it died tomorrow, Kepler already has estab-

lished that planets are common, garden-variety objects in our galaxy and that even rocky planets in the Goldilocks zone are not the rarities scientists once thought.

“Knowing this,” said NASA’s astrophysics division director Paul Hertz, “is the first step to addressing the question, ‘Are we alone in the universe?’ ” Before Tuesday’s announcement, Kepler had found 984 confirmed planets. In addition to those and the 1,284 newly confirmed planets, the spacecraft has found 1,327 bodies that are officially deemed “more likely than not” to be actual planets. The worlds in that category still require extra checking that they’re not imposters. An additional 707 bodies detected by Kepler are likely to be objects other than planets, perhaps tiny stars that are orbiting bigger stars.

Kepler looks for planets by monitoring the light from stars. A tiny decrease in a star’s light output can mean that a planet is passing across the face of the star.

Expelling bullies does not work, study says Kim Painter

@KimPainter Special for USA TODAY

BOB JORDAN, AP

LaTasha Lee, an assistant teacher at the Princeville North Carolina Montessori School in Tarboro, plays with her class. A new study shows that black students are more likely to be referred to gifted programs if their teachers are black.

Black teachers steer black students to gifted programs Greg Toppo @gtoppo USATODAY

Having a teacher of the same race not only gives African-American students a powerful role model, new research suggests. It also can be a ticket to a different kind of education altogether.

A new study shows that African-American public school students, who are 54% less likely than their white peers to be identified as eligible for gifted-education services, get a clear boost if their teacher is African-American as well. The research finds that such a student is three times more likely to be placed in a gifted program than if he or she has a white teacher.

Researchers at the Indiana University and Vanderbilt Uni-

versity found that this one factor dramatically increases the likelihood that an African-American student will be placed in a gifted program.

Previous research has noted the benefits to African-American students when their school has more teachers who share their race. The new research drills down further, using student-level data from a federal database to trace the probability that a specific elementary school student will be referred to a gifted program.

The results suggest one reason for the difference: African-American teachers tend to offer a more positive view of African-American students’ abilities, self-control and other indicators of “giftedness.”

They’re more likely to give these students “higher subjective assessments of their ability,” said

African-American teachers tend to offer a more positive view of African-American students’ abilities. researcher Sean Nicholson-Crotty. That’s key as gifted programs move away from standardized tests as gatekeepers, he said.

The researchers analyzed data from the federal Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, which tracks students from kindergarten through middle school.

They found that an increased presence of African-American teachers in a school had little effect on individual students’ gifted-education assignments if students weren’t assigned to

these teachers. The key, Nicholson-Crotty said, was that AfricanAmerican students had these folks as teachers.

In an interview, NicholsonCrotty said the results point to a somewhat “thorny” policy proposition: matching students to teachers of their race. He wouldn’t recommend that. Instead, he said, schools should simply push to increase the overall number of African-American teachers on staff.

“Then you’re increasing the likelihood that students will have this in-class race match, so you’ll get these positive benefits without having to undertake this specifically and potentially erroneous policy choice,” he said.

The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.

Zero-tolerance policies that kick bullies out of school are not the answer to the persistent bullying problem plaguing the nation’s classrooms, playgrounds and social media sites, according to a report released Tuesday.

Experts from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine said prevention efforts should instead target entire schools and give extra attention to students at risk or already involved in bullying, including both victims and the perpetrators themselves.

Suspending and expelling bullies “doesn’t really help the targets necessarily and it certainly doesn’t help the young people doing the bullying,” said Frederick Rivara, a pediatrician at Seattle Children’s Hospital and chairman of the panel that wrote report.

The group examined decades of research on the bullying of children ages 5-18 and found: uZero-tolerance policies that became popular in the 1990s have never been shown to reduce bullying. They may discourage students from reporting bullying. uPrograms that encourage bystanders to stop bullying when they see it show promise. But asking students to work out bullying on their own can backfire.

“You would never put an abuser face to face with a victim and tell them to work it out,” said Deborah Temkin, a researcher with Child Trends in Bethesda, Md., who reviewed a draft of the report. Kicking out the abusers doesn’t “address the underlying issues,” she added. “They come back angrier than they were before.”

The report called for schools to teach social and emotional skills and tactics for dealing with bullying.

URINE TESTS FOR ZIKA MORE ACCURATE THAN BLOOD

JUDGE TO DETERMINE FATE OF COP IN FREDDIE GRAY CASE

Urine is more accurate than blood in testing for the mosquitoborne Zika virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday in a finding that may allow patients with the disease to be more easily diagnosed.

The virus disappears from blood within about five days after symptoms appear.

That means blood tests can be negative after that time, even in infected people. However, Zika remains in urine for about a week longer.

Baltimore police officer Edward Nero, one of six officers facing charges in the death of Freddie Gray, will be tried by a judge instead of a jury on seconddegree assault and other charges, a Maryland judge ruled Tuesday.

Judge Barry Williams granted Nero’s request to waive a jury trial. He also agreed to a one-day delay in that trial, which is now set to begin Thursday.

Nero, 30, also faces two counts of misconduct in office and a reckless endangerment charge stemming from Gray’s death while in police custody. All the charges are misdemeanors.

FILIPINO ‘TRUMP’ CLAIMS VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT

Maverick Rodrigo Duterte emerged as the winner in the Philippines’ presidential election Tuesday after his two closest rivals conceded defeat.

“It’s with humility, extreme humility, that I accept this, the mandate of the people,” Duterte, 71, mayor of the city of Davao, told the Agence France Presse news agency. “What I can promise you is that I will do my very best not just in my waking hours but even in my sleep.”

With 90% of precincts reporting, Duterte won 38.7% of the vote, well ahead of chief competitors Manuel “Mar” Roxas and Grace Poe. — Thomas Maresca

A laboratory operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is among the handful of facilities that have secretly had their permits suspended in recent years for serious safety violations while working with bioterror pathogens, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY after winning a Freedom of Information Act appeal.

The CDC’s own labs also have been referred for additional secret federal enforcement actions six times because of violations in how they’ve handled certain viruses, bacteria or toxins that are heavily regulated because of their potential use as bioweapons, the CDC admitted for the first time on Tuesday. Before USA TODAY won access to records of the lab suspension, the CDC had refused to answer questions about its own labs’ enforcement histories.

The revelations show the CDC’s facilities are among a small group of biolab operators that have the worst regulatory histories in the USA, receiving repeated sanctions under federal regulations.

Citing security reasons and a federal bioterrorism law, the names of labs that have been suspended or faced other enforcement actions have been a closely guarded secret by the CDC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The two agencies not only operate high-security biolabs, but they also co-run the Federal Select Agent Program that regulates government, university, military and private labs that work with bioterror pathogens such as anthrax, plague and Ebola. The government calls these kinds of pathogens “select agents.”

Only five labs have been suspended from the Federal Select Agent Program since 2003 and another five labs have faced repeated referrals for enforcement actions, according to information the CDC provided last year to USA TODAY and later to con-

gressional investigators.

“There is no security rationale for withholding the identities of the suspended labs,” Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

“The sole rationale is a CYA rationale, in which the CDC seeks to cover its derriere by covering up violations and shielding staff and management responsible from accountability for violations.”

A heavily redacted USDA letter obtained by USA TODAY shows a CDC-operated lab was suspended from doing select agent research around 2007 and reinstated in 2010 because of federal violations in the handling and transfer of a virus. The USDA blacked out the name of the virus.

The CDC said Tuesday the suspension involved an individual lead scientist and the labs associated with that scientist’s research at the agency’s lab complex in

Fort Collins, Colo. The violations involved Japanese encephalitis virus, which can cause a deadly inflammation of the brain. As of 2012, the virus was no longer considered to be a select agent.

In response to USA TODAY’s questions on how many CDC labs have faced select agent sanctions, the CDC said its own labs have been referred for enforcement actions six times since 2003.

“None of these violations resulted in a risk to the public or illness in laboratory workers,” the CDC said. The agency provided few details: uThree referrals involved sending improperly killed select agent pathogens to entities not approved to receive them. uTwo referrals involved the discovery of select agent pathogens in unregistered spaces in CDC facilities. uOne involved inventory and oversight concerns.

One enforcement action case remains open, but the CDC would not say what it involves.

The agency would not answer questions about the dates of the cases or pathogens involved.

CDC’s lab operations have been under scrutiny since 2014 because of a series of high-profile safety incidents at the agency’s headquarters in Atlanta that involved anthrax, Ebola and a deadly strain of influenza.

WALMART SUING VISA OVER CHIP-ENABLED CARDS Walmart filed a lawsuit against Visa on Tuesday, saying the payments network is forcing the retailer to allow signature verification for chip-enabled debit transactions, which it says is less secure and more expensive than using a PIN, or personal identification number. Walmart prompts customers to enter a PIN when they use chip cards, but customers can override it and enter a signature instead.

Visa declined to comment.

LUMBER LIQUIDATORS LOSS WIDENS, SALES TUMBLE Lumber Liquidators’ net loss quadrupled in the first quarter as the retailer suffered after regulators revealed certain types of laminate flooring previously sold by the company had a greater cancer risk than thought.

The company’s net loss widened to $32.4 million from $7.8 million in the year-ago quarter. On a per-share basis the company reported a loss of 29 cents, compared with a loss of $1.20. Sales at stores open at least a year — a figure typically used to gauge a retailer’s health — fell 13.9%.

Candidates can apply online at jobs .kroger.com and show up to a store Saturday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for an interview. Many of the openings are for part-time associates who bag groceries, stock shelves or ring up items at the cash register. The company says the jobs are permanent.

GAP SHARES PLUNGE ON NEWS OF WEAK SALES Gap shares fell Tuesday after the retailer reported weak sales at the start of the year. Sales dropped 7.4%, to $1.12 billion in April as compared to $1.21 billion during a similar four-week period last year, the company reported after markets closed Monday. Gap had said previously its financial results might take a hit due to its stores seeing fewer customers in late March and April. But the quarter’s weak sales represent a continuing slide, which saw similar declines across most of its brands during the same periods last year.

Wall Street is hungry for a breakout, but global headwinds are holding it back

Fizzle turns to sizzle as Dow, Nasdaq, S&P all surge 1.3%

A big rally Tuesday on Wall Street turned a stalled stock market into a confused market, one that still doesn’t know if it wants to go up or down amid persistent worries ranging from weak corporate earnings to sluggish economic growth around the globe.

The U.S. stock market has traded sideways since its all-time high notched on May 21, 2015. And while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index is within 2.2% of its record close of 2,130.82, there are still enough headwinds that will make it hard for the market to break out sharply to the upside, Wall Street pros say.

Indeed, there still is a case for the stock market moving up at stall speed. Here’s a list of five roadblocks — in addition to angst over coming interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve and the volatile energy market — that are holding the market back.

After a mixed session to kick off the week, U.S. stocks, bouyed by a rally in the oil patch, surged Tuesday as investors gauge the market’s next move amid a recent stall in momentum after a sizable rally off of the lows in February.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 222 points, or 1.3%, to 17,928 for its biggest gain since March 1. The Standard & Poor’s 500 and Nasdaq composite also each gained 1.3%.

Stocks are trying to find their footing after a big rally that has fizzled out in recent weeks amid a weak first-quarter earnings season, continued volatility in oil, uncertainty about the presidential election and a stock market that again is trading at above-average valuations.

Earnings for the S&P 500 are on track to contract 5.5% in the first quarter, the third consecutive quarterly drop. Wall Street is betting on a recovery in the second half of the year.

The stock market appears to be benefiting from its ability to hold key support levels in recent sessions, prompting buying from investors, says Gary Kaltbaum of money-management firm Kaltbaum Capital Management.

The good 1S&Pnews500 has is the large-company rallied 14% since the STOCKS AIN’T CHEAP.

Feb. 11 low. The bad news is the price-to-earnings ratio for estimated profits for the next four quarters — a common metric used to measure if the market’s cheap or frothy — has swelled to nearly 17 times earnings, above the average P-E of 14.7 since 1968, according to Thomson Reuters.

“Large-cap stocks have been trading in a P-E range over the last two years and, unfortunately, it’s trading at the top end of its range at the moment,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. “Unless we get some meaningful earnings growth, the S&P 500 will continue to bump up against a glass ceiling.”

tors that there’s no guarantee the dollar’s weakness prior to its recent string of gains will stick and remain a tailwind for stocks.

A strong dollar is a negative for U.S. multinationals as it makes their products more expensive abroad, which skimps sales and earnings. “The big thing now is, do investors believe the weaker dollar trend is sustainable?” says John Stoltzfus, chief investment officer at Oppenheimer Asset Management.

Overall, rebounding oil prices in recent months have given stocks a lift, but in recent days trading in the crude pits has become volatile, with the price of a barrel of U.S.-produced crude swinging in and out of positive territory on a daily basis. Tuesday, oil rose 2.8% to $44.66.

Elec4 tion angst is on the rise. Wall Street hates uncertainty, and the POLITICAL RISK IS BACK.

2016 presidential campaign is about as uncertain as it has been in a long time.

Donald Trump is unpredictable, and his platform doesn’t mirror Republicans’ conservative agenda. Hillary Clinton is considered a more known quantity, but her views on business regulation, health care pricing and big banks is not always investor-friendly.

“Policy uncertainty, arising from the election, is rattling investors — and it should,” McMillan says.

“We have seen little evidence of a significant pickup in either U.S. or global economic growth,” says Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group.

“The S&P 500 ignored what we all knew was a poor first-quarter GDP number, but the market was almost certainly expecting a rebound in the second quarter. So far we have seen little sign of this rebound.”

Disney stock sinks after not-so-happiest Q2

Despite gains from ‘Star Wars,’ earnings per share fall short Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Shares of The Walt Disney Co. tumbled 5% Tuesday after the media giant reported secondquarter earnings and revenue that fell short of Wall Street estimates.

The company said earnings rose 2% as Star Wars and Disney resorts’ performance helped offset flat revenue at its television businesses. But earnings per share, after adjusting for some items, were $1.36, short of the $1.40 estimated by analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Net income for the pe-

riod that ended April 2 totaled $2.14 billion vs. $2.1 billion a year ago. Revenue rose 4% to $12.97 billion. Analysts had estimated $13.2 billion.

The results came out after the market close and shares plunged 5.4% to $100.90 in after-hours trading. The stock rose 1.2% in regular trading to close at $106.60.

Revenue for the media networks unit, Disney’s largest business division that runs ABC, ESPN and other TV networks, was flat at $5.8 billion. The unit’s cable networks business saw its revenue decline 2% to $4 billion but operating income rose 12% due to higher affiliate fees ESPN collected from pay-TV companies.

But ESPN’s higher affiliate revenue derived from rising rates, not improved ratings. Mirroring the trend it saw last year, its sub-

Shares of The Walt Disney Co. plunged 5.4% to $100.90 in after-hours trading.

scriber base fell again during the quarter. ESPN’s ratings have been a concern for investors, contributing to Disney’s falling stock price for much of last year. After the first quarter, Disney chairman and CEO Robert Iger said ESPN’s ratings were on the rebound. And

ESPN also settled its year-long lawsuit with Verizon over Verizon’s new TV channel bundling program that left ESPN out of a base package option.

ESPN’s programming costs, which have been rising steeply in recent years due to heightened demand for live sports programming, dipped because only one college football playoff game was aired on the network during the quarter, compared to seven in the year-ago period. That also contributed to lower ad sales at ESPN, it said.

Broadcasting revenue increased 3% to $1.8 billion due to higher advertising sales rates.

The parks and resorts unit, which is preparing to open its latest Disney theme park, Shanghai Disney Resort on June 16, reported a 4% revenue gain to $3.9 billion. Its operating income climbed 10%.

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

The M&A boom is cooling, hurt in part by a chilling effect due to the government’s recent moves to put the kibosh on some high-profile deals. U.S.-targeted M&A deals through May 9 totaled $402.98 billion, down 23% from the same point in 2015, according to Dealogic. The value of M&A deals withdrawn in the same period hit a record $378.18 billion.

One theory for the cooling mergers and acquisitions market is that 2015 was a record-setting year with more than $2 trillion in U.S.-focused deals, says Richard Peterson, senior director at S&P Global Market Intelligence. Another possible headwind? The uncertain market environment.

But government interference

is also a factor, as a pair of big deals, including a crackdown on tax “inversions,” in which a U.S. company switches its domicile abroad to pare down its tax bill.

Last month, drugmaker Pfizer pulled its $160 billion acquisition of Dublin-headquartered Allergan after the U.S. Treasury unveiled fresh rules to curb inversions. Oil services firm Halliburton called off its bid to buy rival Baker Hughes after facing Department of Justice opposition due to antitrust concerns.

“There’s a perception that no matter what (companies) want to do, it will get shut down by the Obama administration, so why bother?” says Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors. CEOs are saying, “let’s hold off until next year. Maybe we will have a more friendly audience and have a better chance of getting the deal through.”

Business models keep Amazon, Stamps on top Q: Have any dot-coms made good?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The Internet bubble was one huge reminder to individual investors about the dangers of stock-market speculation.

But it wasn’t a total bust.

Amazon.com stands as the best example of an Internet company turned into a global powerhouse. Shares of the online retailer jumped nearly 3% Tuesday to roughly $700 a share — a record high — after Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Carlos Kirjner increased his price target on the stock to $1,000. That’s higher than the $804 average 18-month price target by the average analyst, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. But it shows how optimistic investors are on Amazon, which just posted a profit in the first quarter that topped expectations by 75%.

But Amazon isn’t alone in showing the Internet era wasn’t all hot air. Postage seller Stamps.com, one of the early Internet darlings, Monday reported an adjusted first-quarter profit of $1.72 a share, topping expectations by 64%. The company’s adjusted profit is up 139% from the same period a year ago, highlighting how its business model is paying off. Rather than focusing on selling stamps to consumers, Stamps.com is focused on large volume shippers. The stock is up more than 20% over the past year as the company continues to show it’s more than a dot-com wonder.

Justice investigating Citadel, KCG market-making practices Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the market-making divisions of Citadel and KCG Holdings, examining whether the electronic trading companies provided the best available prices to stock investors.

Investigators issued broad subpoenas for internal records from the companies, seeking information about market-making procedures, payment for order flow and other trading issues from

The Department of Justice Building.

roughly 2009 to 2011, according to a person familiar with the investigation and a Reuters report Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because prosecutors have not publicly disclosed the investigation or its po-

tential outcome.

Market-makers are companies or individuals who provide trading liquidity to financial markets by buying and selling securities during trading sessions. They agree to purchase stocks, even without a having an immediate buyer, literally making a market in the securities they handle.

Payment for order flow represents the compensation and benefit smaller retail brokers receive when they send trading orders they receive from investors to larger brokers, banks or other companies for execution. Brokers are required to provide U.S. stock

investors with the most favorable price available and swiftest execution time for trades.

Investigators are examining whether Citadel and KCG profited by providing unfavorable prices on some of the millions of trades the companies processed through their market-making divisions, according to the person familiar with the issue and Reuters. USA TODAY was not immediately able to determine whether federal prosecutors plan to seek legal charges against the firms.

However, according to the person familiar with the investigation, Citadel is said to believe no action

will be taken against it.

New Jersey-based KCG disclosed a Department of Justice investigation in an August 2015 quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

However, the filing did not specify the probe’s subject or timing.

The company declined to comment Tuesday.

“We cooperate fully with such requests, but as a matter of practice, we simply don’t confirm any particular inquiry,” said Katie Spring, a spokeswoman for Chicago-based Citadel.

CULVER CITY, CALIF. How does a talk show go global?

Just ask Chelsea Handler, whose new show, Chelsea, launches around the world Wednesday on Netflix. “You just have to have your kind of mission statement,” Handler says. “Mine is learning and making this a great, fun, lively experience that feels like you’re at my house and we’re learning together.”

The first episode promises to be a “spectacle,” full of famous friends Drew Barrymore and Pitbull, along with Education Secretary John B. King. “He’ll give me a test and see where I am intellectually,” she grins.

Walk behind the set, outfitted to evoke the vibe of Handler’s Bel-Air mansion, and witness a massive technical feat. Chelsea, which plans three weekly episodes, Wednesdays through Fridays, over 30 weeks, is taped two days ahead, in front of a live audience. Afterward, each episode is “localized,” translated into 20 languages and encoded for 190 international markets.

“I want politicians, I want experts in fields that I know nothing about. ...

I want everything to be a big open book.”

A tiny “respeaking” room sits just behind the stage, filled with two desks and a few speakers.

Staffers repeat every line as Handler delivers it, so transcription can begin in real time.

The quick turnaround marks the tightest schedule yet for Netflix, which is accustomed to filming scripted series months ahead of time, and is a notable exception to its practice of putting entire seasons online at once.

“This is new turf for us,” says Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos, who predicts die-hards will “watch it the minute it goes up, and other people will wait and watch all three episodes every weekend.”

The question remains how Chelsea will travel. Sarandos calls Handler “a very international brand on her own” thanks to her comedy tours and books.

For American fans, Chelsea is the introduction of “my more adult phase,” two years after leaving Chelsea Lately, her last talk

show, which aired on E!. “It’s not disaffection, it’s insouciance,” she says of the eight-year run. “It wasn’t a bad time, it just became so boring.”

Since then, Handler, 41, has been plowing through books, learning Spanish and traveling.

On her new show, “I want politicians, I want experts in fields that I know nothing about, like science and space,” Handler says. “And I want my doctor on to explain what my problems are. I want everything to be a big open book.”

Ahead of the show’s launch, Handler and her crew spent

weeks traveling to Moscow, Tokyo and Mexico City shooting remote segments that will be shown docu-style, says executive producer Bill Wolff (The View).

“A lot of what we’re doing is verité,” he says. “We’re not really staging stuff. ... That’s Chelsea Handler being Chelsea Handler with actual people; that’s not a set up or a game or a gag.”

Recent pre-show flu aside, Handler radiates contentment. “I feel like, ‘OK, now I’m really going to hit my stride. The late bloomer.’ ” She grins. “Better to hit it now, though, than to have peaked already.”

Chelsea Handler prepares to unveil Netflix’s first-ever talk show, Chelsea, filmed in front of a live audience.

Jeff Bridges has played lawmen before, but the Oscar-winning actor has never affixed the star of the famed Texas Rangers to his chest before his role in Hell or High Water.

Bridges, 66, learned some Lone Star State-size respect for his real-life counterparts.

“These guys are like a dog on a sock,” Bridges says by telephone from his home in Santa Barbara, Calif. “They just don’t give up — they are on it.”

Marcus, the ranger Bridges plays, needs this resolve as he pursues two Texas brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) who have set on a dangerous spree of robbing branches of the bank that is threatening to foreclose on their family land.

Director David Mackenzie gives props to his actors, noting that Pine goes against his Hollywood persona as the brooding brother, Toby. Hell or High Water (in theaters Aug. 12) has been accepted at the Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off Wednesday, bringing back screenwriter

Marcus (Jeff Bridges) and Alberto (Gil Birmingham) are Texas Ranger partners in Hell or High Water.

Taylor Sheridan, whose Sicario earned raves at 2015’s festival.

“Chris usually plays the leading man with the twinkle in his eye,” Mackenzie says. “But here, he’s the serious one who doesn’t get the best lines or laughs.”

Mackenzie notes that Bridges absorbed his lawman role, working closely with legendary Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson. Bridges calls Jackson “one of the greatest Texas Rangers ever” and modeled Marcus after him.

Jackson taught Bridges everything from what the storied lawmen would think in most situations, to details such as ex-

actly where the star should be placed and “blousing” the regulation shirt properly to keep it neat.

“You put the clothes on, you’re looking in the mirror before you go out for your day, and the character comes into you,” Bridges says. “The appearance is very important. Texas Rangers carry a lot of respect.”

Bridges’ Marcus is paired with a half-Native American partner, Alberto (Gil Birmingham).

The partners’ camaraderie is displayed mostly in exchanges as they close in on the bank robbers. Bridges and Birmingham shot one marathon driving scene filled with spontaneous banter, Bridges says.

“It must have been three hours of us riding around in the truck together with the cameras rolling and just improvising,” Bridges says.

He’s proud of his performance and prouder that he got a thumbs up in the end from Jackson. “Getting Joaquin’s stamp of approval was the most meaningful thing to me,” he says.

Bridges, who will be on a movie shoot in London, won’t make the Cannes world premiere. But he still has his Texas Ranger star as a keepsake.

“Of course, I kept it. I’m looking at it right now on my bookshelf,” Bridges says.

“I dug doing this movie. I dug the experience.”

CITY SHOWDOWN BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Early lesson revealed a hitter A memorable early indication that Kyle Abrahamson one day would develop into a hitter who would do some damage for his high school baseball team came when he was 10 years old.

The experience terrified him to the bone.

Kyle’s mother had purchased a hitting lesson with Hall of Fame living legend George Brett, the greatest, most adored baseball player in this region of the country. The balls he hit during the lesson came out of the hand of the Kansas City Royals legend himself. One more toss, one more swing and the lesson would end.

“On the last pitch I hit him on the forehead and he had to get six stitches above his eye,” Abrahamson said.

“My dad contacted him and asked him how he was.”

Even a third baseman with cat-quick reflexes, phenomenal hand-eye coordination and a lifetime of stopping searing baseballs with a glove and sending them in the other direction with a bat needs to follow the rules of safety and use the protective netting.

“He peeked out to watch the hit and it came back and hit him in the forehead,” Abrahamson said. “I just remembered him going on the ground. I was worried. I was scared for my life.”

The last thing a 10-yearold wants on his back is a target put there by taking down a legend.

“I was just shocked that I hit him,” Abrahamson said.

“I had never hit anybody in the head like that. I was just scared and glad he was OK.” Free State High’s thickly built, strong, left-handedhitting right fielder has not forgotten how to hit the ball hard. He lashed a two-run double in the first inning and singled to center and scored in the fourth, helping to drive Free State to a 9-2 victory Tuesday against visiting Lawrence High.

Abrahamson came away from the Brett lesson with more than a memory.

“The one thing I took away from it was I was gripping on the bat too hard and he told me to treat it like a tube of toothpaste and if you squeeze too hard it will come out (too fast), so have a loose grip up there,” he said.

Since Brett brought 3,154 big-league hits, 1,119 of the extra-base variety, worth of credibility to the advice, the young hitter never thought twice about wondering whether that would work.

“I would always deathgrip it until that,” Abrahamson said.

Tense muscles get in the way of flexibility, whether they get that way from squeezing the bat too hard or trying too hard to prove you belong. Free State coach Mike Hill spoke to the latter issue.

“When you’re a sophomore and you get your first opportunity at the varsity level, you’re going

FREE STATE PITCHER AARON FUNK THROWS against Lawrence High Tuesday in the City Showdown baseball game at FSHS. Free State won the game, 9-2. The two teams play again at 7 p.m. Thursday at Hogland Ballpark at Kansas University.

Firebirds protect home field in 9-2 win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It was only two weeks ago when Free State High baseball players had trouble finding ways to score runs. It looked like ancient history on Tuesday against Lawrence High in the City Showdown.

The Firebirds exploded for a season-high 12 hits, scoring at least one run in each of the first five innings on their way to a 9-2 victory on their home field on Senior Night.

All nine batters in the Free State starting lineup reached base at least once and four of them had multiple hits.

“This is probably our best game we’ve played all year,” FSHS junior outfielder Jacob Pavlyak said after going 2-for-3 with an RBI. After moving to the leadoff spot, Pavylak has seven hits in the last three games.

The Firebirds (15-4) didn’t miss any pitches up in the strike zone against LHS senior

right-hander Parker Kirkpatrick. Sophomore outfielder Kyle Abrahamson hit a tworun double down the left field line in the first inning.

Junior first baseman Nate Strathman, who went 3-for-3 with three runs scored, hit a leadoff double in the second inning and scored on a wild pitch. Over the next three innings, Pavlyak, junior third baseman Zion Bowlin, senior Hunter Gudde and junior catcher Jaden Moore added RBI singles.

“The second half of the year I haven’t been hitting well,” Moore said, “so it felt good to get back into it and hit the ball.”

In theory, it’s a simple concept to win baseball games: score more runs than the other team. But for the Firebirds this season, it’s just scoring one run. They are undefeated when scoring a run, with all four losses a result of being shut out.

After going scoreless three times in a five-game stretch two weeks ago, the Firebirds have worked on their approach at the plate. The coaching staff has tried to

simplify it. Hit the ball hard.

Put the ball in play and put pressure on the defense.

In the past three games, the Firebirds have combined for 30 hits and 21 runs.

“Hitting is the most overtaught, overanalyzed, misunderstood part of baseball,” Free State coach Mike Hill said. “When you’re struggling a little bit, the notion is ‘I have to see more film. I have to do this. I have to do that.’ There’s some truth to knowing what your challenges are and how to address them, but sometimes you really have to simplify it. It’s more in the head than in the technique.”

With plenty of run support, Free State 6-foot-5 junior right-hander Aaron Funk was in his comfort zone on the mound, striking out seven in 41⁄3 innings. With a mid-80s fastball and a devastating curveball, he was Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

Free State rips LHS, 14-1, in Showdown

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It seemed Tuesday evening at Lawrence High’s softball field the top of the first inning might never end.

That would have been just fine with Free State, which scored a baker’s dozen worth of runs before the Lions put an end to their nightmare start — a dream frame for the Firebirds, who cruised to a 14-1 City Showdown win in five innings.

“That takes a lot of pressure off you in emotional games like this,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said of his team’s improbable opening act.

The Firebirds (10-9) scored 11 times before LHS recorded the second out of the game. The Lions didn’t Please see KEEGAN, page 3C scrape their way to the

middle of the first until Free State had sent 17 hitters to the plate, taken a 13-0 lead and put 10 hits on the board.

FSHS leadoff batter Hailey Jump was 2-for-2 with an RBI and scored twice in the first inning alone.

“We definitely didn’t expect it to play out like that,” the senior outfielder was quick to point out. “It was fun, though.”

Free State’s mega inning got off to an innocent enough beginning, with senior Madison Norris moving Jump into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt.

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — From the jaw-dropping half-court heaves that somehow sink through the net to the dazzling drives and zippy passes from every which way, Stephen Curry’s desire to keep getting better while always trying to entertain at every stop has the Golden State superstar being mentioned right along with the best ever, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

And he just turned 28. There might still be so much more for the 6-foot-3, baby-faced point guard whose ability to make it on the big NBA stage was initially questioned by some.

On Tuesday, Curry accomplished something those former greats never did: He became the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.

“I never really set out to change the game. I never thought that would happen in my career,” Curry said. “What I wanted to do was just be myself. ... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put the time and the work.

That’s how I got here, that’s how I continue to get better every single day.

Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada.

“I couldn’t imagine anybody not voting him first, and yet there always seems to be somebody who has to stand out,” Coach of the Year Steve Kerr said.

Curry was followed in the vote by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

Nash, Golden State’s player development consultant, was on hand to congratulate Curry.

“It’s been weird, I haven’t had to say a word to him. It’s been the easiest job,” Nash said.

Curry is the first two-time MVP in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner. After guiding Golden State to its first championship in 40 years, Curry & Co. took that success even further to finish with 73 regular-season wins to top the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10.

Curry averaged an NBA-best 30.1 points per game to go with 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds. He also led the NBA with 2.1 steals a game.

SAN ANTONIO’S KAWHI LEONARD, LEFT, PRESSURES OKLAHOMA CITY’S Kevin Durant. The Thunder defeated the Spurs, 95-91, on Tuesday night in San Antonio.

NBA PLAYOFFS

OKC goes up 3-2 on Spurs San Antonio (ap) — Russell Westbrook had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the San Antonio Spurs, 9591, on Tuesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Kevin Durant added 23 points as the Thunder won for the second time in San Antonio in the series. Oklahoma City can close out the series Thursday in Game 6 at home.

Westbrook sealed the victory with a three-point play with 6.3 seconds remaining, scoring after the Spurs weren’t able to foul him intentionally and he drove for a layup while being fouled.

Kawhi Leonard finished with 26 points for San Antonio, which lost at home once in the regular season and has dropped two straight there now.

The Thunder took a 92-90 lead with 54 seconds remaining on a pair of free throws by Durant after Spurs guard Danny Green fell into his legs when he appeared to be tripped by Steven Adams on an attempted screen.

Tony Parker missed the second of free throws to make it to 92-91. Parker also missed a 12foot jumper.

Westbrook settled in after an erratic first half in which he committed six of the Thunder’s 13 first-half turnovers. He only had two turnovers after half-

Tulsa twins named for Lucas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

His rapid improvement and big time production during the 2015-16 college basketball season endeared junior forward Landen Lucas to Kansas University basketball fans in a major way.

But for two new parents who used to call Lawrence home, the admiration of the KU big man did not end when the final horn sounded after each game or the season ended in late March.

Ian and Meredith Sadler, who now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Monday welcomed twin boys into the world.

Their names? Landon Beau Sadler and Lucas Joseph Sadler.

Yep. You read that right. Introducing the Sadler twins, Landon and Lucas.

The Sadlers certainly are not the first couple to name their children in honor of Kansas basketball, but this is taking things to another level.

And, as it turns out, actually required a bit of creativity on Ian’s part

to make it happen.

He calls the story “Strategic Coincidence” and credits his suLanden Lucas per fan status and time spent working in the KU athletic department for the selection of the boys’ names.

“When we found out we were pregnant, Meredith, a growing Jayhawk fan, knew where my thoughts were going,” Ian began. “She immediately told me I was not allowed to name our baby anything KU related, even though thoughts of Pierce, Tyrel, Jacque and other very suitable names quickly came to mind.

Bill Self Sadler had a nice ring to it.”

As the pregnancy went on and doctors informed the Sadlers they were having identical twin boys, Ian turned things up a notch and began referring to his unborn sons as Markieff and Marcus.

“She quickly shut that down,” he noted.

From there, fate stepped in and Ian caught his break.

“A few weeks later, Meredith mentioned the name Landon, and how she really loved it. I told her I would agree to Landon if she allowed me to pick the second name.

I suggested Luke, but his official name would be Lucas. She agreed. About a month later, after constantly referring to Babies A & B as Landon & Lucas, we were watching KU take on West Virginia, and, somewhere in the middle of his 16 rebounds, my wife popped me in the shoulder, and said, ‘Landen Lucas, huh?’

“She already loved the names, and with the minor spelling difference, here we are. I promised her not too many people would catch on.”

One person who did catch on was Lucas himself. When reached by the Journal-World between a Tuesday workout and studying for final exams, Lucas immediately broke into laughter upon hearing about the Sadler twins, who were born at 32 weeks and currently

reside in the NICU wing at St. Francis in Tulsa.

“That’s awesome,” said Lucas, who will graduate Sunday. “Those kinds of stories are cool to hear, and it’s pretty amazing just how big and committed our fans are and how in love with Kansas basketball people are.

It’s cool. That’s the kind of stuff you hear about when you’re looking at schools and you just want to be a small part of it and I’m happy to be a part of that story. Maybe someday I can even meet the kids. We gotta make that happen.”

Lucas said the Sadler connection was his first encounter with actually knowing a Jayhawk whom fans had honored in such a manner.

“I’ve heard of dogs and cats and stuff, but naming kids, that’s pretty cool,” he said. “And I like the story behind it too because he found a way to kind of sneak it in there without going overboard.

They could go through life and nobody will really know unless you dig a little deeper. That’s pretty funny.”

Selden has ‘minor’ knee procedure

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball guard Wayne Selden, Jr., will not participate in basketball-related activities at this week’s NBA Combine as he recovers from a “minor knee procedure” to repair a small meniscus tear in his right knee, Yahoo Sports reported Tuesday.

Selden, who according to Yahoo put off the procedure until the end of his junior season, is expected to begin workouts for individual teams soon.

Yahoo says former Miami player Sheldon McClellan will replace Selden in drills. Selden will par-

cruising until the Lions (8-10) rallied in the fourth inning.

Lawrence loaded the bases with one out after singles from sophomore Andrew Stewart and Kirkpatrick, and a walk by sophomore Devin Lauts. Stewart scored on a wild pitch and Lauts scored on a ground out but Funk limited the damage.

Free State relief pitchers Gudde and junior Peyton Habiger didn’t allow a hit in a combined 22⁄3 innings.

“You have to find a way to throw up zeroes and put quality at-bats together and we didn’t have an answer tonight,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “That starts with me.”

With strong pitching, solid defense and timely hitting, the Firebirds are following the same blueprint that brought them a state championship last season.

The key was finding a way to become stronger at the plate and taking some of the pressure off of their pitching staff and

He’s still No. 1: Josh Jackson, who has been the No. 1-ranked player in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com since September of 2013, finishes his high school career as the top-rated player in the class.

Jackson, a 6-7 senior wing from Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., retained his top spot in final rankings released Tuesday. The top ten consists of Jackson, Harry Giles (Duke), Jayson Tatum (Duke), Lonzo Ball

(UCLA), Markelle Fultz (Washington), De’Aaron Fox (Kentucky), Bam Adebayo (Kentucky, Jonathan Isaac (Florida State), Malik Monk (Kentucky) and Miles Bridges (Michigan State).

KU signee Udoka Azubuike fell four spots and finished at No. 31. KU’s Mitch Lightfoot improved 10 slots from No. 118 to No. 108. l

One more visit to go: Former Duke guard Derryck Thornton finished his visit to Washington on Monday, according to Zagsblog.com. He is expected to visit Miami on Sunday then decide between KU, USC, Miami and Washington.

BRIEFLY 30 KU athletes on academic list A total of 30 Kansas University student-athletes were named to the 2016 Academic All-Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Teams, the league office announced Tuesday.

Twelve Jayhawk women placed on the first team, led by sophomore Hannah Dimmick, one of 12 women with a perfect 4.0 GPA, doing so for the second-straight year. Kansas had five other women who earned a first team nod for the second-consecutive season, including seniors Daina Levy and Dasha Tsema as well as juniors Malika Baker, Nashia Baker and Grace Pickell. Seniors Julia Dury and Rachael Schaffer, junior Jennifer Angles, and sophomores Courtney Coppinger, Dorie Dalzell and Laura Taylor were listed on the first team for the first time.

On the men’s side, 10 KU student-athletes earned a spot on the first team.

Seniors Ben Brownlee and Evan Landes secured first team spots for the third time and were joined by junior Nick Maestretti, who achieved first team status for the second-straight season. Jayhawks earning a first-team nod for the first time included seniors Matt Berkshire and Phil Stand, juniors Kenny Boyer, James Hampton and Nick Meyer and sophomores Nick Giusti and Ezekiel Welch.

Rounding out KU’s academic award winners were eight second-team selections, five men and three women. For the men, seniors Brandon Bernal, Casey Bowen and Drew Matthews as well

and LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton turned to sophomore pitcher Zoe Brewer in relief.

“That wasn’t Amber’s usual night out,” Tarbutton said, “and she had a pretty rough start. And then you see little flops fall in — they had legitimate hits, too, don’t get me wrong. But everything that could go the other way was just going the other way.”

Firebirds junior Dacia Starr and senior Kate Stanwix delivered backto-back singles to score run No. 1 in the runaway inning.

After senior Emily Byers walked to load the bases, senior Cali Byrn drew another free pass for a 2-0 lead. A wild pitch built the visitors’ early advantage to three before junior Mayah Daniels knocked in two runs with a base hit to right field.

Senior Elizabeth Patton drew Free State’s third walk in four plate appearances, and after junior Jasper Hawkins came up with a short infield hit, Jump made it 6-0 with a bloop single to left field.

They ruined our Senior Night, so now we have the opportunity to go ruin theirs.”

— LHS softball coach Dee Tarbutton after Free State’s 14-1 victory Tuesday Daniels smacked a tworun double down the firstbase line, capping a crazy first inning.

“It was great,” Daniels said after driving in four of her team’s 13 first-inning runs. “We really wanted to come out strong. And we really didn’t think we would come out that strong. But it is nice to have that in your back pocket.”

Pitching with a massive lead, Patton retired six of the first seven Lions she faced, striking out four in the first two innings.

Said LHS senior Audrina Hidalgo, whose RBI double in the third plated senior Sophie Taylor, and gave Lawrence its lone run: “It’s always hard when you get down like that to come back.”

Afterward, both coaches warned their players to move on from the lopsided outcome before today’s 5:30 p.m. rematch at Free State.

Obviously, Tarbutton focused on how the Lions (9-10) finished the shortened game, playing their rivals to a 1-1 tie over the final four innings, with Brewer retiring the Firebirds in order in both the third and fourth.

The LHS coach said his team is far better than it showed Tuesday, and he expects his players to battle in today’s regularseason finale.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cain tags 3 in K.C. loss The Associated Press

Yankees 10, Royals 7 New York — When Aroldis Chapman takes the mound at his new home, the Yankee Stadium scoreboard spells his name in animated flames.

“Mucho fuego,” he said, meaning “there’s a lot of fire.”

Chapman recorded his first save for New York, capping a back-and-forth 10-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night as the Yankees overcame three home runs and five RBIs from Lorenzo Cain.

“We would have lost 7-0 a couple of weeks ago,” said Brett Gardner, who doubled home the tiebreaking run off Kelvin Herrera (0-1) in a threerun eighth inning.

Chapman, who returned from a 29-game domestic violence suspension on Monday, worked around a walk in a hitless ninth for his first Yankees save, retiring Cain on a game-ending popup. Twelve of his 21 pitches were at least 100 mph, making it 19 of 38 in two appearances.

“I’d pay a ticket to watch that,” said Yankees catcher Brian McCann, who added a two-run double off the fence in right-center later in the eighth.

Chapman reached a peak velocity of 102.1 mph on Cheslor Cuthbert’s leadoff groundout.

Fans’ energy increased throughout the ninth as they turned toward the scoreboard seeking the velocity of every pitch.

“When he comes in, there’s definitely more energy in the ballpark,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said.

With Teixeira (neck spasms), Jacoby Ellsbury (strained hip) and Alex Rodriguez (strained hamstring) sidelined, the Yankees started Dustin Ackley at first base, Aaron Hicks in center field and rookie Ben Gamel in right, shifting Carlos Beltran from right field to designated hitter.

Ackley scored two runs and drove in two, Hicks had two hits and an RBI, and the speedy Gamel scored the go-ahead run on Gardner’s hit after reaching when Gold Glove shortstop Alcides Escobar allowed his oneout grounder to bounce out of his glove for an error.

“This is the first time that we’ve battled back through a game a couple different times,” McCann said. “Guys had some quality at-bats and huge moments, and we really haven’t done that all year.”

A PERFECT CHEESEBURGER

By Elizabeth Karmel

I

Associated Press

thought I knew how to make the perfect burger. Now I know better.

I still stand by most of my principles — making your own blend of ground meat, a combination of ground sirloin and ground chuck; working and mixing the meat as little as possible — but I recently discovered a far better way to cook the burgers. I discovered it while attempting to grill tiny samples of a variety of ground beefs (I was searching for just the right blend and didn’t want to make lots of fullsize patties).

As I pondered how I was going to grill tiny patties without them falling through the grates, I considered a cast-iron grill platter, a thick, flat sheet of cast iron. Bingo! We could grill the bite-sized burgers on the sizzle platter!

I placed the platter on the grill grate and started grilling the bites.

They were all delicious. But the most exciting part was the rich, brown crust they all developed. The platter turned the gas grill into a flat grill, while the heat of the cast-iron surface deeply caramelized everything it touched. Because the lid was down and there were other foods on the grill, the burgers still got that smoky outdoor grilled flavor, but with a griddle-style crust.

It was the perfect cooking mashup of grill and griddle for my allAmerican cheeseburger topped with melted American cheese. Since that evening, it is the only way that I grill burgers — of any size!

The recipe below is my favorite burger these days. I traded in my aged cheddar cheese for old-fashioned American, which melts better and adds a layer of soft gooeyness on top of the crunchy caramelized crust of the burger. To me, this is the best condiment and I don’t need anything else except maybe pickles, which I layer on the bottom bun so that the cheese and the top bun stick

together and become one.

Of course, you can add any of your favorite condiments and toppings, but try this minimalist burger at least once. When you use the best quality beef and grill the burgers using the cast-iron sizzle platter, you hardly need anything besides the cheese and a soft potato bun to make it summer’s best burger.

Grilled Cheeseburger Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef chuck 1 pound ground beef sirloin 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional) 1 teaspoon Coleman’s Mustard powder (optional) Kosher salt and ground black pepper Olive oil 6 slices American cheese 6 potato burger buns Dill pickle chips

Directions: Being careful not to overwork the meat, in a large bowl mix together the chuck and sirloin with the Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder and generous pinches each of salt and pepper. Gently shape the meat into 6 burgers, each about 3/4 inch thick. Brush each patty on all sides with olive oil. Use your thumbs to make an indent at the center of each burger.

Heat the grill to medium. Place a flat cast-iron griddle on the grates at the center of the grill.

When the grill and griddle are hot, place the burgers on the griddle and cook, covered, until the meat is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Top each burger with American cheese about 2 minutes before you remove them from the grill. You want the cheese to be soft but not too melted.

Let the burgers rest 2 to 3 minutes and serve on a potato bun with pickle chips.

Forget Twinkies; fry some pound cake basted with bourbon

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

When we first encountered deep-fried, bourbon-soaked Twinkies, we were a little smitten. Until, that is, we realized we could do so much better.

Better as in ditching the highly processed snack cakes and substituting a truly amazing slab of homemade pound cake, all rich and dense and ready to sponge up some booze. Which is what we did next; we drizzled each slice with a generous glug of bourbon. And no need to use the good stuff here.

Anything you’d consider using as a mixer will be fine.

An ample dose of butter to pan-fry our slices until nicely crisped and warmed doesn’t hurt their flavor, either. Now all you have to do is serve — warm, please! — with fresh berries and whipped cream or ice cream. Take that, Twinkies.

Bourbon-basted Pound Cake Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 12

Ingredients: 4 whole eggs, room temperature 2 egg yolks, room temperature 1 tablespoon water 1 cup sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan frying 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) allpurpose flour, sifted 3/4 cup bourbon Berries, to serve Whipped cream, to serve Directions: Heat the oven to 350

F. Mist an 8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, then line the bottom and up the 2 long sides with kitchen parchment.

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks and water.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on mediumhigh to beat together the sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extracts, and the salt until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

While mixing, add the egg mixture, a couple tablespoons at a time, until well emulsified after each addition. The adding of the eggs should take about 5 minutes.

Working in 2 batches, fold in the flour gently but thoroughly until no trace of the flour remains. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread to smooth the top.

Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake on the oven’s center rack for 55 to 65 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool for another 20 minutes.

When the cake is mostly cool, slice the ends off, then slice the loaf into 12 generous 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice liberally with bourbon.

In a large skillet, melt a bit of butter over mediumhigh, swirling to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.

Working in batches, fry the pound cake 3 to 4 slices at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until toasty brown, adding additional butter between batches.

Carefully transfer the toasted slices to a platter while you fry the remaining slices. Serve warm, with berries and whipped cream, if desired.

Leftovers can be cooled and kept in an airtight container for 3 days, gently rewarming in a skillet.

Gussy up that old BEAN SALAD

By Katie Workman

Associated Press

In certain parts of the country, a good threebean salad is almost always the anchor to a potluck or picnic, the kinds of gatherings where sturdy, crowd-pleasing, portable — and frankly inexpensive — food is wanted.

There have been countless variations of three-bean salads made with nothing more complex than the beans and bottled vinaigrette. And they’ve most certainly been well received. But after a while those salads can start to feel heavy and monotonous. I was after something with a fresher feel.

In this version, the addition of spelt and canned hearts of palm adds tons of interest. A generous amount of fresh herbs provides brightness.

Spelt is a whole grain that been around since ancient times, but now it is only commonly grown in Europe. It fell out of favor in the early 1900s, but now that whole grains are back in the spotlight, it’s becoming popular again.

It’s quite chewy and nutty, with large, fat riceshaped grains.

Some people who have

wheat intolerances can enjoy spelt, but it is a member of the wheat family, so it’s not suitable for people who are celiac or have more serious wheat aversions. It usually is soaked for several hours before cooking, which reduces the cooking time.

When you are cooking the spelt for this recipe, consider making extra.

It’s nice to have later in the week for tossing into pilafs, soups and stews.

Soak 1 cup of spelt grains in enough water to cover overnight. When ready to cook, drain the spelt.

Bring 3 cups of water or broth to a simmer in a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the drained spelt and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the spelt is tender.

If so, add those shortly before serving. With that exception, you can make this salad up to three days ahead and store it, covered, in the refrigerator.

Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 8

Ingredients: 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained and rinsed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 15 1/2-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed 15 1/2-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 15 1/2-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup cooked, cooled spelt (see above or follow package directions) 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons chopped

Directions: In a large serving bowl, mix together the hearts of palm, kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans and cooked spelt.

In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, basil, thyme, vinegar, olive oil and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the bean salad and toss to coat evenly.

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Bright and Herby Three-Bean Salad The dressing for this bean salad is quite thick — close to a pesto consistency — but it distributes itself perfectly over the ingredients. Change up the herbs as you like, and feel free to add some other fresh vegetables as well, such as diced zucchini, tomatoes or avocado.

Omega-3sProtect the Brain, Reduce Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and ALS

in the healthy subjects and those with MCI, except for people who had the APOE e4 gene, which increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The fish oils had no apparent benefit in patients with established Alzheimer’s disease.

The specific benefits associated with fish oils included less atrophy of the cerebral cortex gray matter and hippocampus, as well as better scores on the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale and the Mini-Mental State Examination.

In the other study, Kathryn C. Fitzgerald, MSc, of the Harvard University School of Public Health, and her colleagues analyzed data from 1,002,082 men and women who had been participants in five different studies. Of these, 995 people developed ALS during the studies.

People with the highest consumption of omega-3 fish oils had a 34 percent lower risk of developing ALS, compared with those who consumed the fewest fish oils.

Fitzgerald and her colleagues noted that other studies have found that the omega-3s have “neuro-protective effects.”

The omega-3s are essential for prenatal, infant, and childhood brain development—and for maintaining healthy moods throughout life. Two new studies show that the omega-3s also help protect the brain against Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig disease.

In the first study, Lori A. Daiello, PharmD, of the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, Rhode Island, and her colleagues studied three groups of people: 229 who were cognitively normal, 397 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 193 with Alzheimer’s disease.

Of these subjects, 117 were regularly taking fish oil supplements when the study began and throughout the five-year study.

All of the subjects underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and took two cognitive tests every six months.

The fish oil supplements were associated with benefits
