CAROL PAINTE WALKER, LEFT, GETS SOME HELP FROM HER DAUGHTER KELLY WALKER as the pair prepare for their hooding ceremony at Kansas University’s Lied Center on Friday. Mother and daughter are graduating together with master’s degrees in social welfare. Both also are Haskell Indian Nations University alumnae, with Kelly earning her bachelor’s degree from Haskell in 2014 and Carol earning an associate’s degree there in 1975.

Mother, daughter inspire each other on path to degrees

When Carol Painte Walker went back to school to complete her bachelor’s degree, she and her then-middle school aged daughter Kelly Walker did homework together at the kitchen table.

Neither one imagined that some 15 years later they’d be doing homework together again — as college roommates in the same master’s program at

Leonard Pitts Jr.: I haven’t been tempted in the least because, unlike him, I value my career and my paycheck. I’ll never be that tired, but I think anyone who’s African-American who writes particularly opinion for a living will have no trouble understanding where that character’s coming from. You know, if you get a bunch of African-American columnists or pundits in the same room, you’re going to hear the same stories, and it’s all about basically having to explain the same things over and over again — things that should be glaringly obvious but that people seem to have a vested interest in failing to comprehend.

I’ve lost count of how many people think they can stump me by saying, “Well, there’s a Miss Black America contest. If there was a Miss White America…” But that’s sort of the level of discourse.

You’re hearing this stuff over and over again and in the meantime you’re seeing children like Trayvon Martin or Tamir Rice dying for no reason at the same time you’re seeing the mass incarceration phenomenon just really chewing up lives.

There’s a definite level of frustration that comes from all that.

JH: You were interviewed a few months after the Charleston church shooting and mentioned Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s claim that the murders were an attack on faith and not necessarily racially charged, and how difficult it is for some people to see incidents of racism for what they are.

If you go What: ACLU of Kansas 2016 Free State Forum When: 3 to 9 p.m.

Saturday Where: Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. Cost: Tickets range from $35 to $60, and can be purchased at www. aclukansas.org.

Why does this happen?

LP: If you’re white and you think of yourself as person of sound moral character, and you see that there are benefits that accrue to people in this country because they’re white and that there are demerits that accrue to people because they are not white, you essentially have two options to maintain your good opinion of yourself: You can do something, you can take a stand, you can take action, or you can say, “It’s just their imagination.” Doing something and taking a stand involves, one, getting up off your backside and, two, maybe some risk to your place in society. Frankly, there’s a moral laziness to stuff like that, and with the Charleston church (shooting), it reaches levels that are truly astonishing. It wasn’t just Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

The police said within an hour after the shooting that this was a hate crime (against AfricanAmericans). And yet the morning after, you’ve got (Glenn) Beck and all these other people saying it’s an attack on faith or it’s this or it’s that, because if I say it’s an attack on faith, then there’s no onus on me.

JH: Going back to “Grant Park,” your protagonist is at one point kidnapped by a group of white supremacists.

You were never kidnapped, but you did receive death threats and quite a bit of harassment from white supremacists in response to a column you wrote about 10 years ago. Did that experience inspire or inform what happened to (“Grant Park” protagonist) Malcolm Toussaint?

LP: With fiction, it’s always the idea of “what if?” I didn’t feel any particular need to try to recreate my exact experience, but I did want to draw on that a little bit just to illuminate what I was trying to get at with Malcolm. The real thing that I was getting at that comes from the column was just the incoherent political discourse.

American racial and political dialogue has just gone completely insane, and that’s one thing that I was really quite purposefully trying to illuminate in that book. That’s why (kidnappers) Clarence and Dwayne make so little sense and are so absurd even though they’re dangerous. It gets to this idea that we have all this anger, but it’s mounted in this real factfree, fact-optional, really deeply stupid vision of things. Once upon a time and not so long ago, we could disagree with each other, but disagreements were grounded in facts. Disagreements are now much less likely to be grounded in facts.

We’ve gotten into this era where it’s sort of OK to make up your facts, and people aren’t even embarrassed by it.

JH: Speaking of that phenomenon of acting on emotion rather than fact or logic, you’ve said in regards to some of the angry emails you receive that those people would never say those things to you if they

were having a conversation with you at the bar, for example, that somehow you’ve become unreal or abstract to them.

Where does that mental state come from?

LP: I think the Internet — or the whole communications revolution, I should say — doesn’t really foster a whole lot of reflection and thought. The point has been made — and I think there’s something to it — that once upon a time, say, 20 years ago, if you wanted to write a letter to respond to a columnist who’d made you angry, you had to go get the paper and load it into the typewriter or type it up on your word processer and then print it or type it up or whatever and then sign it, and get an envelope, address the envelope, stamp the envelope and then go out and mail the envelope.

Somewhere in all that time and in doing that, there’s a little time for some reason to set in.

But these days, you snap up a comment (online) and it’s gone. There’s not really a lot of time for people to think about what they’re saying, and I think as a result really ignorant stuff gets said.

L awrence J ournal -W orld Kelly received an Indian Health Service Scholarship to pay for her graduate school and as part of the program will work as a counselor one to two years on a reservation or other Indian community. She’s waiting to hear where she’ll be assigned.

After that, Kelly said she’d like to return to KU to pursue a doctorate.

Carol said she is looking for counseling jobs now.

Steven, 31, graduated with his bachelor’s degree from Haskell last week and this fall will attend KU School of Law, where he hopes to specialize in tribal law.

“I just really want to do good with it,” he said.

Carol credits her children with enabling her to complete this educational milestone.

“It’s a culmination of my dream to get a master’s degree here at KU,” Carol said. “I never thought it would happen.

It was a dream, but my dream is reality now.”

The younger generation credits her with inspiring them to complete their goals.

A lot of young Native people don’t have role models, and if they do they’re not Native, Steven said.

“For me it was directly from my mother saying you need to get your education,” he said.

“She’s an inspiration to keep driving me, propelling me forward.”

The most recent thing is he gave a speech at Howard (University) and told the kids to embrace their blackness and be proud of their blackness, which should be an uncontroversial statement, and predictably the good folks over at Fox News had a coronary over it.

JH: Obama came along at a time when our political landscape has become increasingly divisive, with a lot of people blaming him fairly or unfairly for creating that divisiveness. Do you think this polarization is here to stay?

LP: I’ve given up trying to predict the end of polarization, I really have. There have been so many times when it’s reached such a crescendo that I’ve said, “OK, I’m sure that we’re done now. It can’t get worse or more insane than this.” And every JH: You once said time I say that, it gets that Obama is like a more and more insane.

Housing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Workforce housing is generally defined as costing between 50 and 120 percent of an area’s median income.

“What that does is make it harder for someone to have a selection of what we call ‘starter homes,’ your first home with your first job, where you have your first kid,” Buford said.

According to U.S. Census data from 2009 to 2013, about 28 percent of households in Lawrence with mortgages, and 57 percent of renters, are already “cost burdened,” meaning more than 30 percent of their monthly gross incomes goes toward housing payments.

The American Institute for Economic Research, which recently named Lawrence a top small metro for seeking employment after college, also tells its readers: “...the city does not have the most favorable economic conditions. Rents are high for a small city and average earnings are the second lowest on our list.”

Lawrence knows the problem; it’s one that exists nationwide. And as the city begins working on solutions, it’s faced with big questions — chiefly about it’s newly created affordable housing trust fund.

First, where will money for the fund come from?

How much should go into it in 2017? And for what will it be used?

‘The most challenging part’ In Boulder, Colo., a portion of city property taxes goes to the city’s housing assistance program.

Savannah, Ga., pays into its housing trust fund directly from its general fund.

A few California communities use some of their transient occupancy tax dollars, which is an amount applied to hotel bills — what Lawrence calls transient guest tax.

Many of the approximately 470 municipalities in the U.S. with housing trust funds gather revenue for it from fees charged to developers, according to the Housing Trust Fund Project.

Mary Brooks, director of the Housing Trust Fund Project through Center for Community Change, helps cities, counties and states to establish housing trust funds. Brooks brought her expertise to Lawrence City Hall in 1998, when the then-City Commission talked about the idea of creating a housing trust fund.

That idea came to fruition in 2000, when commissioners passed an ordinance establishing the fund. At the time, the city deposited a one-time payment of $500,000 from the general fund.

From 2002 to 2007, $10,000 was deposited each year from the general fund. But a dedicated source of revenue was never decided upon.

Back in 1998, Brooks told commissioners, “The hard part is where you are right now, trying to find the money.” She said Lawrence needed to submit itself to the task and make it a priority.

Eighteen years later, Lawrence is having the same conversation. And Brooks is echoing the exact same message.

“I never go into a community and they say they have money to put into affordable housing,” Brooks said. “It’s always a bump in the road. But I’ve never worked in a community where, if they looked seriously enough for an alternative revenue source to address affordable housing, that they have been unable to find one.”

“We find revenues to do the things we want to do.”

LAWRENCE

.

Housing trust funds in Kansas According to the Housing Trust Fund Project, Lawrence is the only city in Kansas with an established fund for affordable housing.

The state operates its own housing trust, which “is not well-funded,” said Mary Brooks, director of the Housing Trust Fund Project.

“It’s never been what I would call robust,” she said.

The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation has reported for the last several years that revenue streams for the fund are “diminishing.” According to KHRC’s 2016 report on the fund, it’s received $1,978 from issuance fees on Mortgage Revenue City Manager Tom Markus has noted that in addition to other tools, such as the proposed affordable housing requirement for residential developments receiving incentives, a dedicated source of revenue is necessary to make a change.

Commissioners will discuss a revenue stream during their 2017 budget talks this summer, he said.

“That’s probably the most challenging part,” Markus said. “We have to look at, ‘OK, if we dedicate this much money, where is it coming from?

And is it taking money away from something else? And are you willing to make that decision?’

That’s a real policy decision on the part of the commission.”

Developer fees In 2015, city commissioners were able to negotiate money from developers for the affordable housing trust fund.

A development group led by Doug Compton and Mike Treanor gave $75,000 to the fund when the commission approved industrial revenue bonds for the group’s apartment project at 800 New Hampshire St., the former Pachamamas building.

“

Developers don’t like (fees), which won’t be anything new. But there probably isn’t any source that’s used more at the local level.”

— Mary Brooks, director of the Housing Trust Fund Project Industrial revenue bonds give an exemption to developers on sales taxes for construction materials. The $75,000 was about what the city would miss out on in sales tax revenue because of the bonds.

Currently, the trust fund contains little more than $78,000, most of which is the $75,000 payment from developers of the Pachamamas project.

The city was anticipating receiving another approximately $100,000 this year from the expansion of The Eldridge Hotel. In October, when the City Commission voted to approve industrial revenue bonds for the project, Commissioner Stuart Boley negotiated for developers to rent a public parking lot at Seventh and Vermont streets for $8,000 monthly, with a maximum of $120,000.

The funds were to go to the city’s general fund and be made available to the housing trust fund.

Before Boley’s negotiations, The Eldridge had offered to pay $6,720 total in parking fees for the lot.

After consulting Kansas City-based law firm Gilmore & Bell, the city is recommending not moving forward with those types of negotiations in the future.

Instead, city officials are proposing charging an “origination” fee to

Bonds and Mortgage Credit Certificates. It’s received no money from fees on private activity bonds, which was established as one source of revenue.

There’s a recent effort in Topeka to establish its own citywide affordable housing trust fund. Topeka JUMP, a consortium of 20 local churches, gathered last week to ask city leaders for the formation of a task force to design the fund, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The Capital-Journal reported the organization wants a task force to present a plan to the Topeka City Council by October. developers when their industrial revenue bonds are issued. That proposal is included in a packet of potential changes to policies that govern Lawrence’s economic development incentives.

Lawrence does not currently charge origination fees for IRBs, but other cities — such as Lenexa, Olathe and Shawnee — do.

“Origination fees are something that we’ve never charged, but it is a way to be able to support other goals,” said Lawrence Economic Development Director Britt Crum-Cano during a review of the incentives policies earlier this month. “The current City Commission is interested in affordable housing, and this would be one way funds could be raised to meet a goal like that.”

The proposed fee would be one-tenth of a percent of the bonds being issued. In the case of the Pachamamas project, $7.8 million in industrial revenue bonds was issued. The origination fee would’ve been $7,800.

The city would not apply the fee to nonprofits or for developments creating primary jobs or adding affordable housing.

Brooks said fees on developers were a popular stream for affordable housing nationwide, but the trick, she said, is whether there is enough steady development to create good revenue for the fund.

She said other cities have charged fees on developers who are building office or commercial space, which creates a workforce needing affordable housing.

Other communities have charged fees on those tearing down buildings or converting housing structures to other uses.

“Developers don’t like it, which won’t be anything new,” Brooks said.

“But there probably isn’t any source that’s used more at the local level.”

Using guest tax to fund affordable housing is a new idea, Brooks said.

Taxing short-term rentals In January, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel introduced an ordinance to regulate —and tax — the house-sharing service Airbnb to fund affordable housing. Brooks said other cities are having the same discussions.

Through services like Airbnb and Rent Like a Champion, Lawrence homeowners rent their residences on a shortterm basis.

The practice is a violation of city code, but Lawrence Planning and Development Services Director Scott McCullough said in November that the city likely wouldn’t do anything about it until it hears complaints.

Thursday, McCullough confirmed the city hasn’t been working on regulating it.

On Friday, there were upward of 70 rentals in Lawrence listed on the Airbnb website. They

ranged in price from $20 per night to $700.

San Francisco and Portland, Ore., have partnered with Airbnb to collect occupancy taxes. Chicago is set to vote on its crackdown of Airbnb this week.

In Lawrence, a 6 percent tax is applied to hotel rooms. The newest use of that money is a grant program for events and programs that boost tourism.

‘This needs to be done’ Finding the source of revenue for an affordable housing trust fund is “hardest” with cities, Brooks said, “because their revenue streams are a little tighter.”

That’s true in Lawrence, which is currently going through its 2017 budget process and facing a “dire” situation for its general fund, the city finance director has said. He told city commissioners earlier this month that there was no money for new programs, and Markus said Thursday this budget process would be about “belt-tightening.”

But the City Commission has named affordable housing as a top priority. And at a public input session Thursday, at which a dozen or so residents were asked to name priorities for the budget, affordable housing was one of the handful of items to receive the most support.

It’s anticipated that, like in 2000 and again last year, the affordable housing trust fund will get a lump sum in the 2017 budget. How much that will be is unclear.

Brooks said anything less than $5 million would mean Lawrence is “not really serious about this yet.” Justice Matters, a conglomeration of church congregations credited with reigniting the discussion on affordable housing, first suggested $3 million, then cut its suggestion to $1.5 million for 2017. Markus said it will likely be a “percentage” of that, and the newly created Affordable Housing Advisory Board isn’t going to name a dollar amount.

“I’m not suggesting by a long shot we could provide that much money without serious sacrifice of other services that we provide currently,” Markus said of the $3 million request posed earlier this spring.

The Affordable Housing Advisory Board, established by the City Commission last year, agreed Monday to send a memo to Markus stating the board was “not ready to make recommendations for funding streams” or name an amount of funding for 2017.

City Commissioner Stuart Boley, a member of that board, said the group was “too new” and needed to complete more research before asking for a specific dollar amount.

Because the board isn’t making a specific recommendation, it will be left to the City Commission to decide an amount for 2017.

Shannon Oury, executive director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority and a member of the advisory board, suggested altering wording in the memo to Markus. It now states the board wants a “significant” amount of money set aside.

“What we’re trying to say tactfully is, we want the City Commission to make this decision because they have a much better handle than we

street

Affordable housing ‘wish list’ City commissioners allocated $200,000 to affordable housing in 2016: $100,000 for a new transitional housing program and the other $100,000 for the construction of affordable homes.

Though the advisory board won’t be naming any dollar amount for 2017, it will work this summer to establish a five-year plan. The plan will be a sort of “wish list,” Sturtevant said, for what the fund should be used for going forward.

The city posted an online survey through Lawrence Listens on Wednesday to gather feedback from community members on what kind of affordable housing services and programs they want to see supported. The survey had 25 responses as of Friday, and it will be online until May 23.

Markus has expressed doubt that, if millions were put into the fund in 2017, the total amount could be utilized.

“I’m not convinced that all of the nonprofits have the capacity to build everything, if you could provide that much money,” Markus said. “Rather than start with the total number right away, we should build that up.”

In response, Buford said: “I think we can handle a lot.”

“The idea that we could immediately build $5 million worth of projects in a year? Yeah, no, no one could do that. And strategically the worst thing that could happen is to get a huge amount of money and not be realistic about the timeline for housing projects. But a portion of that is probably reasonable to work with.

And I think the affordable housing advocates understand that your rarely get all that you ask for.”

Brooks said in her experience she’s never seen a trust fund put together and the money go unused.

“I just do not see it happening,” she said.

She also said receiving the total amount needed to fill the housing gap may be unrealistic.

“If we really calculated what the need was in Lawrence and figured out how much that would cost, we might not get our elected officials to talk to us,” Brooks said.

Completely eliminating the need for affordable housing will never happen, Brooks said, no matter the city’s effort. There will always be seniors, veterans and others on fixed incomes needing affordable housing, as well as people like Kayla Brown, who “had her housing opportunity taken away,” Brooks said.

“It could happen to any of us,” she said. “We’re always going to have people that need affordable housing.”

As a country, she said, “we’ve really ignored this for decades.”

ROADWORK Lawrence: l The right lane of westbound West Sixth Street will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday in front of 1820 W. Sixth St., between Colorado Street and Bluffs Drive, for waterline repairs. l After Kansas University’s commencement today, the intersection of 19th Street and Ousdahl Road will close for reconstruction.

It will not reopen until KU’s classes resume in August. l Several roads on KU’s campus will be under

construction or completely closed from Monday through the summer, including Memorial Drive from the campanile to West Campus Road and Irving Hill Road from Burdick Drive to Engel Road. Ellis Drive is open only to Hilltop Child Development Center Traffic through August. Bagley Road and Anna Drive both will be permanently closed. l The westbound lanes of Kansas Highway 10 have been shifted side-by-side next to the eastbound lanes

between East 1900 and O’Connell roads to build the new westbound lanes. The shift will last through the fall. A 45 mph speed limit will be in place. l The easternmost northbound lane of Iowa Street is closed between 34th and 35th streets as part of the South Lawrence Trafficway project.

The lane will likely remain closed until Friday. l Traffic will be affected on Randall Road and Cynthia Street south of Harvard

Road as city crews work to install a new waterline. The project will have temporary road closures and is expected to last until July 15. l The curbside northbound lane of Iowa Street between 25th and 27th streets will be closed for a water main repair. Brief closures between 27th and 31st streets are also planned during the project, which is expected to last until mid-June.

voters too. I hope that’s not the case because we have great candidates down the ballot.”

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who ruffled feathers in the state party when he came out early to support Trump — the only statewide elected Republican in Kansas to do so — said he thinks the party and its voters will eventually come around.

“I think the one thing that will cause evangelical Republicans around the country to unite behind Trump is the U.S. Supreme Court,” he said.

“The specter of a Hillary Clinton appointee on the U.S. Supreme Court will doom the pro-life movement for years. And that alone is sufficient to bring many of my evangelical cohorts behind Trump.”

than and Reginald Carr, it was much more divided over the issue of the death penalty itself.

In fact, a proposed addition to the platform supporting the use of the death penalty in capital murder cases failed on a closely divided vote, 7590, with one abstention.

The resolution, which passed with only one dissenting vote, urges Republicans to oppose retaining four Supreme Court justices on the November ballot, primarily over their role in the controversial Carr brothers decisions. It names Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, and Associate Justices Carol Beier, Dan Biles and Marla Luckert, who all voted to vacate the death sentences.

That resolution may represent the first time, in the modern era at least, that a state party has come out so vocally on one side or another of a judicial retention vote. Supreme Court justices in Kansas are appointed by the governor from a list of three nominees who are screened by the nonpartisan Supreme Court Nominating Commission.

But for the last several years, the party’s platform has been silent on the issue of the death penalty, and Saturday’s vote showed there is growing discomfort with the death penalty within the party,

even among conservative Republicans.

“We need a voice for people that are victims, and (we need to) have a voice for the families that have had the worst happen to them,” said Jeffrey Locke, of Satanta, who proposed the language.

Last summer, however, the Kansas Federation of College Republicans, an official group within the state party, adopted its own resolution calling for repeal of the death penalty, saying it’s inconsistent with the party’s “pro-life” views on abortion.

“There was a poll done recently that found only 35 percent of Christian millennials support the death penalty,” said Dalton Glasscock, a Wichita State University student and member of the College Republicans group.

“Speaking on behalf of my generation, I would recommend the option of allowing us to choose whether we are for or against it.”

The vote defeating the proposed change means the platform remains as it has been, with its only statement regarding criminal punishment saying, “The judicial system must impose swift and fair punishment for all crimes, violent and non-violent.”

up the bulk of the state’s GOP voters, and especially the state party leadership.

Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion organization, said that for people in her wing of the party, the jury is still out on Trump.

“If the party coalesces around him, then I think it’ll be okay,” she said. “No one was desiring this, but we’re watching to see how things are going.”

The concern among Republicans is not that Trump might lose Kansas, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964.

Rather, it’s that if Trump fails to motivate Christian conservatives in Kansas to vote for him, many of them could stay home on Election Day, and that could impact other Republicans on the ballot, especially those in tight state legislative races.

“I think that’s a legitimate concern,” said State Rep. Mark Kahrs, R-Wichita, who will take over as the state party’s new national committeeman after the convention.

“I think that’s a real concern among evangelical

In addition to choosing delegates, the GOP state committee also adopted a new, revised party platform, along with a resolution urging Republicans to vote against retaining four Kansas Supreme Court justices.

“When we participate in those things, time slows down.”

The class has been living that advice for the past four years, Senior Class President Austin McNorton said soon after the commencement ended. He said that was demonstrated in the word he would use to define the class.

“Involved,” said McNorton, who will study next year at Butler County Community College with the goal of becoming a sports broadcaster. “This class was involved in everything. Everyone in this class has been involved in some activity.

So many people have done so well, it’s truly been fun to be a part of.”

Senior Jayce McQueen, one of three honor students to address the class with Kristi Daigh and Mindy McClaskey, said the class was memorable because of its achievements in sports, musicals and its daily show-upfor-work attitude that had 48 members of the class of 124 seniors graduate with a 3.5 GPA or better.

“I hope I remember everyone of you people — you’re so special,” he said. “Hold on to these memories for a lifetime and a day. Know that when you look back on it, you all loved this place.”

In her address, Daigh, who was one of the Class of 2016’s top honor students, gave credit to the school’s faculty for their

“clear and quality instruction” that allowed the seniors to succeed.

McClaskey took the students on a tour of their futures before bringing the back to graduation day.

“I’m confident that we, the class of 2016, will do something grand with that time,” she said of the years ahead. “So, let’s not wait to get started on our dreams. The rest of our lives begins today.”

“I’m undecided,” he said of a major. “I don’t know what I like, but I know what don’t like.”

About 30 minutes earlier, commencement speaker Tim Jones told the class finding the right career can sometimes take time.

Chosen by the class to give the address, Jones was the class president of his 1973 BHS graduating class and now owns and operates one of the town’s veterinarian clinics.

That wasn’t a quick transition, he told the class. He arrived at Kansas State University in the fall after receiving his high school diploma without the preparation of advanced math or science classes or with good study habits. He promptly failed his first five exams, he said.

He did pull it together enough to graduate in nine semesters, but it took several years in his first career before he decided to return to K-State to follow his dream of becoming a veterinarian.

“I thought I’d never get into vet school, and once I got in I thought I’d never get out,” he said.

KC detective killed in shooting remembered as hero Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — A Kansas City, Kan., police detective who was shot and killed while on duty earlier this week was remembered Saturday as a hero and loving father who devoted his life to serving others.

Detective Brad Lancaster, 39, was shot at least twice when he responded Monday to a call for assistance with a suspicious suspect near the Kansas Speedway. Lancaster, an Air Force veteran and married father of two daughters, died later at a hospital.

Curtis Ayers, 28, of Tonganoxie, is charged with capital murder in Lancaster’s death. Authorities haven’t dis-

“

Losing him leaves a hole in our heart that will take a long time to heal. There’s no doubt that Brad Lancaster is a hero. Not because of how he died, but how he chose to live his life.”

— Chief Terry Zeigler of the Kansas City, Kan., police department

cussed a motive for the shooting. Ayers was taken into custody later Monday after he was shot and wounded by authorities in Kansas City, Missouri.

The police department has been hit hard by Lancaster’s death, Chief Terry Zeigler said at the service, which was held at Children’s Mercy Park and attended by law en-

forcement officers from across the country, The Kansas City Star reported.

“Losing him leaves a hole in our heart that will take a long time to heal,” Zeigler said. “There’s no doubt that Brad Lancaster is a hero. Not because of how he died, but how he chose to live his life.”

He said Lancaster was “born to serve others”

and was doing just that Monday when he “encountered pure evil, the same kind of evil that has taken so many law enforcement lives around the nation.”

Officer Chris Blake, a close friend of Lancaster’s, said he raced to the hospital to be with Lancaster after the shooting.

He said he held Lancaster’s hand until he was taken into surgery.

“I will be forever grateful for those moments I had with him,” Blake said.

Fellow Officer Danon Vaughn sang “Amazing Grace” with tears streaming down his face and had to pause briefly to compose himself.

Toward the end of the service, the Rev. Mark

Holland spoke of Lancaster’s love for his family, joking around and for fireworks.

“Because Brad’s not here to blow anything up, we know, neverthe-

less, he would want to go out with a bang,” Holland said. At that point, a round of fireworks went off on the soccer field behind Lancaster’s flagdraped coffin.

BRIEFLY Attorneys withdraw Friday in northeastern from bomb plot case Kansas.

The Kansas Highway Topeka (ap) — Public defenders have withdrawn from representing a Topeka man who pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges and admitted to plotting to bomb a northeast Kansas military installation.

Defense attorney Melody Brannon said Friday during a brief federal court hearing that a potential conflict of interest had developed COURTS with 21-yearold John T. Booker Jr. U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia granted a request from Brannon and fellow public defender Kirk Redmond to withdraw and plans to appoint a private attorney.

Booker was arrested last year outside Fort Riley trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb and later acknowledged attempting to help the Islamic State group. His February plea agreement with prosecutors calls for a 30-year prison sentence.

Murguia has yet to schedule a sentencing hearing for Booker.

Dust storm leads to 7-vehicle accident Topeka (ap) — A heavy dust led to a seven-vehicle chain reaction accident

Patrol said the accidents occurred Friday afternoon on Interstate 70 in Geary County. The patrol says the dust storm greatly reduced visibility, causing two vehicles to collide, which led to the chain reaction accidents.

Of the eight people in the seven vehicles, two suffered injuries that required being taken to area hospitals.

The extent of their injuries is unclear.

Explosive found in car outside Mo. bank Drexel, Mo. (ap) — Authorities in western Missouri have arrested a man who they say had a loaded weapon and a homemade explosive device in his car, which was parked outside a bank.

Cass County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the bank in Drexel early Saturday by bank employees who reported a suspicious person in a car parked behind the bank.

Deputies found a loaded handgun and handmade explosive device in the vehicle.

The area around the bank was evacuated and the Lee’s Summit Bomb Squad responded and disarmed the device.

The sheriff’s department says the suspect was arrested on outstanding warrants of vehicle theft.

Open dialogue The need to protect free speech in the academic environment would seek to go without saying — but maybe not.

I

t’s an unsettling sign of the times that a Kansas University governance group is looking into the possibility of proposing a specific policy to protect freedom of speech and expression at the university.

Although the free exchange of ideas should be a bedrock principle for higher education, a number of incidents in the last year have caused considerable concern in the KU community. Last week, the University Senate Executive Committee, which includes faculty, staff, student and administration representatives, unanimously approved the creation of an ad hoc committee to research and perhaps propose a specific policy to protect freedom of speech and expression at KU. “The whole notion of how we interact with each other on this campus seemed at times challenged, at times strained,” said Mike Williams an associate professor of journalism and the outgoing University Senate president. “We are often challenged in how we are allowed to express ourselves freely.”

Although various KU policies refer to academic freedom and freedom of speech, the university doesn’t have a policy that specifically states KU’s support for those concepts. Noting that fact, Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said, “It would be a good thing for us as a community to say, ‘Yeah, this is important to us.’”

The idea that its important for faculty, staff and students at KU to have the right to speak freely about controversial issues would seem to go without saying. The ability to talk about difficult topics is an essential aspect of higher education and intellectual exploration — even if those discussions make some people uncomfortable.

It’s unfortunate that various incidents at KU — ranging from the investigation of an assistant professor’s use of the N-word during class discussion to concerns over a new social media policy instituted by the Kansas Board of Regents — have led the KU group to investigate whether specific protections for free speech are needed. It will be interesting to see what the ad hoc committee recommends.

Exposure to a variety of ideas and viewpoints is an important part of the academic process. Where better than a university for students and faculty to learn how to have those discussions in a thoughtful and respectful way? Promoting that skill in a university setting, as well as in society as a whole, would be a great benefit to the nation.

Case raises due process concerns Washington — Academia’s descent into perpetual hysteria and incipient tyranny is partly fueled by the fiction that one in five college students is sexually assaulted and that campuses require minute federal supervision to cure this. Encouraged by the government’s misuse of discredited social science (one survey supposedly proving this one-in-five fiction), colleges and universities are implementing unconstitutional procedures mandated by the government.

The 2006 Duke lacrosse rape case fit the narrative about campuses permeated by a “rape culture.” Except there was no rape. In 2014, the University of Virginia was convulsed by a magazine’s lurid report of a rape that buttressed the narrative that fraternities foment the sexual predation supposedly pandemic in “male supremacist” America. Except there was no rape. Now, Colorado State University-Pueblo has punished the supposed rapist of a woman who says she was not raped.

Grant Neal, a CSU Pueblo pre-med major and athlete, began a relationship with Jane Doe (as identified in Neal’s lawsuit), although she, as a student in the athletic training program, was not supposed to fraternize with athletes. Jane Doe texted an invitation to Neal to come to her apartment. The following is from Neal’s complaint against CSU Pueblo: “As the intimacy progressed, knowing that they both wanted to engage in sexual intercourse, Jane Doe ad-

“

The Chronicle of Higher Education says the case raises this ‘intriguing’ question: ‘What responsibility does a college have to move ahead with a third-party complaint if the supposed victim says she consented?’” vised Plaintiff that she was not on birth control. Accordingly, Plaintiff asked if he should put on a condom. Jane Doe clearly and unequivocally responded ‘yes.’ ... They proceeded to engage in consensual sexual intercourse, during which Jane Doe ... demonstrated her enjoyment both verbally and non-verbally.”

The next day, one of Jane Doe’s classmates, who neither witnessed nor was told of any assault, noticed a hickey on the woman’s neck. Assuming an assault must have happened, the classmate told school officials that an assault had occurred. Jane Doe told school officials the sex was consensual: “I’m fine and I wasn’t raped.” Neal’s lawsuit says she told an administrator: “Our stories are the same

and he’s a good guy. He’s not a rapist, he’s not a criminal, it’s not even worth any of this hoopla!” Neal recorded on his cellphone Jane Doe saying that nothing improper had transpired, and soon the two again had intercourse.

Undeterred, CSU Pueblo mixed hearsay evidence with multiple due process violations, thereby ruining a young man’s present (he has been suspended from the school for as long as Jane Doe is there) and blighting his future (his prospects for admission to another school are bleak).

Title IX of the Education Amendments enacted in 1972 merely says no person at an institution receiving federal funds shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of sex. From this the government has concocted a right to micromanage schools’ disciplinary procedures, mandating obvious violations of due process.

In 2011, the Education Department’s civil rights office sent “dear colleague” letters to schools directing them to convict accused persons on a mere “preponderance” of evidence rather than “clear and convincing” evidence.

Schools were instructed to not allow accused students to cross-examine their accusers, but to allow accusers to appeal not-guilty verdicts, a form of double jeopardy.

Although a “dear colleague” letter is supposedly a mere “guidance document,” it employs the word “must” in effectively mandating policies. While purporting to just “interpret” Title IX, these

letters shred constitutional guarantees. And the letters evade the legal requirement that such significant rulemaking must be subject to comment hearings open to a properly notified public. Even were CSU Pueblo inclined to resist such dictates — academic administrators nowadays are frequently supine when challenged — it would risk a costly investigation and the potential loss of the 11 percent of its budget that comes from Washington.

The Chronicle of Higher Education says the case raises this “intriguing” question: “What responsibility does a college have to move ahead with a third-party complaint if the supposed victim says she consented?” This question, which in a calmer time would have a self-evident answer, will be explored in Neal’s lawsuit. It should reveal what the school thought of Jane Doe’s statement exculpating Neal, who says a school official “brushed off” the recording and said that Jane Doe said what she said “just because she was scared of you.” Neal’s lawyer says he suspects that Jane Doe might now be intimating something “inappropriate” and is perhaps scared of losing her place in the athletic training program.

CSU Pueblo should be scared of joining those schools that have lost lawsuits filed by students denied due process. Such suits are remedial education for educators ignorant of constitutional guarantees.

Hiroshima calls for pledge, not apology The first flash came at 8:15 on a Monday morning.

Eyewitnesses remember it as a bolt of soundless light as if the sun had somehow touched down to the Earth.

And suddenly, Hiroshima was gone.

The second flash came that Thursday morning at 11:02. Eyewitnesses recall two thumps — possibly the sound bouncing off the mountains that cradled the city — and a flash of bluish light.

And Nagasaki was decimated.

Japan surrendered the following Wednesday, ending the Second World War. Last week, when it was announced Barack Obama will become the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, everyone from Salon to the National Review raised two important questions: Will the president apologize for what America did 71 years ago this August?

Should he?

The White House says the answer to the first question is no. For whatever it’s worth, the answer to the second is, too.

It is a measure of the deep emotion this subject still stirs that that will be a controversial and divisive opinion.

Many good and moral peo-

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Seven decades later, the idea of an apology feels like moral impotence, a happy face Band-Aid that denies the awful immensity of it all.” ple will find it abhorrent. Of course, the opposite opinion would also have been controversial and divisive and would have appalled other people, equally good, equally moral.

In the end, then, one can only answer to conscience, and this particular conscience is disinclined to second guess the long-ago president and military commanders who felt the bombs might obviate the need to invade the Japanese home islands at a ruinous cost in American lives. Remember that the Japanese, inebriated by the “bushido” warrior code under which surrender equals

shame and dishonor, had refused to capitulate, though defeat had long been a foregone conclusion.

Indeed, even after Hiroshima was leveled, it still took that nation nine days to give up.

That said, there is a more visceral reason the answer to the second question must be no: Any other answer would defame Americans who endured unimaginable cruelty at Japanese hands.

Should America apologize?

Ask Ray “Hap” Halloran, a B-29 navigator from Cincinnati who was beaten, stoned, starved, stripped naked and displayed in a cage at the Tokyo Zoo. Ask Lester Tenney, a tanker from Chicago whose sleep was forever raddled with nightmares of a twitching, headless corpse — a man he saw decapitated in the death march on Bataan.

And by all means, ask Forrest Knox, a sergeant from Janesville, Wis. He was trapped with 500 other prisoners in the hold of a Japanese freighter where the heat topped 120 degrees and there was barely any water. Some of the men broke out in gibbering, howling fits of madness, prompting a Japanese threat to close off the hatch through

which their meager air came if there was not silence.

The maddened men could not be reasoned with. So American men killed American men. Knox saw this. And participated. And for years afterward, he was haunted by dead men walking the streets of Janesville.

Should America apologize? No. This was not slavery. This was not the Trail of Tears.

This was not the incarceration of Japanese Americans.

This was not, in other words, a case of the nation committing human-rights crimes against innocent peoples.

No, this was war, a fight for survival against a ruthless aggressor nation. Japan committed unspeakable atrocities. America did the same. Such is the nature of war. Seven decades later, the idea of an apology feels like moral impotence, a happy face Band-Aid that denies the awful immensity of it all.

There are two words that should be spoken, in fact, reverently whispered, with regard to Hiroshima and they are not “I’m sorry.” No, the only words that matter are this promise and prayer: Never again.

the infection).

The role of vitamin C in combating infections has been controversial, but the vitamin does seem to help according to two recent studies.

Carol S. Johnston, PhD, of Arizona State University, Phoenix, and her colleagues gave either 1,000 mg of vitamin C or placebos daily to 28 young nonsmoking men who had marginal-to-low blood levels of the vitamin. Tests measured their physical activity and upper respiratory symptoms during the eightweek study.

Johnston reported several findings. By the last two weeks of the study, men taking vitamin C had a modest increase in physical activity. Vitamin C plays a role in how cells produce energy.

The men were also 45 percent less likely to contract a cold. Only seven of the 15 men taking vitamin C had colds, compared with 11 of the 13 taking placebos.

Furthermore, the length of colds was reduced by an average of 59 percent in men taking vitamin C, compared with the placebo group. In a second study, Nina A. Mikirova, PhD, and Ronald Hunninghake, MD, of the Riordan Clinic, Wichita, Kansas, analyzed the effect of intravenous vitamin C (IVC) on 218 patients who had been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus. The virus causes mononucleosis and can trigger Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Dr. Hunninghake is a medical advisor to The Nutrition Reporter™ newsletter.

Most of the subjects had a diagnosis of CFS, while the remainder had mononucleosis, fatigue, or Epstein-Barr infection. Laboratory tests found that they had elevated levels of Epstein-Barr virus antibodies (which fight

Frank B. Hu, MD, PhD, of the Harvard University School of Public Health, and his colleagues analyzed data from the studies, in which 56,423 people died during follow-up periods ranging from 4.6 to 26 years.

Each daily serving of fruits and vegetables reduced the risk of death from all causes and specifically cardiovascular diseases by about 5 percent. In other words, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables daily reduced the risk of death by about 25 percent.

“There was a threshold around five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, after which the risk of all cause mortality did not reduce any further,” Hu wrote.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest accused the House on Thursday of “trying to take victory laps on legislation that doesn’t actually provide any money to ensure that any more people can get access to treatment.”

Obama has not threatened to veto the bills. But in his Saturday address, he said they don’t go far enough. He called for more education for doctors who prescribe painkillers and for a national conversation about the epidemic.

Macklemore, spotted at the White House on Thursday, spoke to Obama for an hour-long documentary on addiction to air on the MTV network this summer.

BRADLEY KANARIS, GETTY IMAGES

WASHINGTON President Obama enlisted the help of rapper Macklemore on Saturday to raise awareness of prescription drug abuse and push Congress to do more about the crisis.

Making an appearance on Obama’s weekly radio address, the Grammy-award-winning artist described his own struggle with addiction to painkillers.

“I’m here with President Obama because I take this personally,” said Macklemore. “If I hadn’t gotten the help I needed when I needed it, I might not be here today. And I want to help others

facing the same challenges I did.”

Obama renewed his call for Congress to pass $1.1 billion in funding for treatment and research — on top of $500 million already in his budget for overdose prevention.

In a frenzy of lawmaking last week, the House of Representatives passed 18 opioid-related bills and sent them to the Senate to be approved or reconciled with existing Senate legislation.

The last and biggest of those bills, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, passed Friday by a 400-5 vote, authorizing up to $571 million over five years. But because of how Congress approves spending, it still needs to pass a separate appropriations bill.

CHINA BURIES MEMORIES OF VIOLENT CULTURAL REVOLUTION Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY BEIJING When Zhang Hongbing was a young man during China’s Cultural Revolution, his loyalty to Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong knew no bounds. He even denounced his mother for speaking ill of the iconic leader and sent her to death.

Zhang, a 62-year-old retired lawyer, no longer toes the party line, at least regarding those 10 violent and chaotic years from 1966 to 1976, when Mao died.

As Monday’s 50th anniversary of the start of the revolution approaches, Zhang and other witnesses, victims and participants of that era want an open discussion about what occurred to make sure nothing like that happens again. But China’s current communist leaders want to snuff out any memory of the embarrassing period.

“Our nation has no future if it doesn’t learn the lessons of the Cultural Revolution,” said Zhang.

“If I don’t allow people to criticize me for what I did to my mother, I have no chance of mak-

ing amends. The same applies to the country as whole.”

The revolution began when Mao declared that intellectuals and secret backers of capitalism were trying to undercut the ideals for the proletariat. More than 1 million alleged traitors were imprisoned, killed or committed suicide. Mao ordered schools closed to force young people to leave cities to work in remote villages.

Amid the upheaval, the economy collapsed, causing hardship for hundreds of millions.

In 1981, five years after Mao’s death, the Communist Party issued a resolution blaming the chairman and his “Gang of Four” political subordinates for the “error” of the Cultural Revolution.

thanks to the coverage options created by the ACA. But most people are paying more of their own medical bills than ever before. And they are noticing. A recent Gallup survey found health costs to be the top financial problem faced by U.S. adults, outpacing low wages and housing costs.

Employers, who still provide coverage to the majority of those with insurance, are also battling rising costs. They have been passing at least part of that along by raising workers’ share of costs — including premiums, deductibles and the portions of medical bills they must pay — far faster than wages have been rising.

Meanwhile, even in the most generous plans offered to those who buy their own coverage through the ACA’s marketplaces,

References to the Affordable Care Act have been a regular feature of the presidential campaign.

Republican candidates have pledged to repeal it, while Democrat Hillary Clinton wants to build on it and Democrat Bernie Sanders wants to replace it with a government-funded “Medicare for All” program.

Much of the discussion stops there. Yet the nation in the next few years faces many important decisions about health care — most of which have little to do with the controversial law often dubbed Obamacare. Here are five issues candidates should be discussing but largely are not:

“It was like an affirmation from God because we each have dreams we want to fulfill in our life ... and it was like we have been funded to do that,” Valerie Arthur of Trenton said during a press conference on Friday at New Jersey Lottery headquarters in

Lawrenceville.

Family matriarch Pearlie Mae Smith bought the winning ticket at a 7-Eleven store in Trenton, New Jersey’s capital, Arthur said from a podium surrounded by her mother and six siblings.

The jackpot is $429.6 million, but the family opted for the cash option so they will receive $284 million in a lump sum.

The family said it took them a few days to announce themselves before the public because they wanted to make sure they handled the money wisely. They had their family lawyer secure other advisers to help them decide how best to handle such a large influx

“After you pay off your student loans, after you pay off the mortgages on your house, and after you buy your kids a car or whatever, what are you going to do

with the remaining $283 million?” Arthur asked.

Pearlie Mae Smith picked the winning numbers — 5, 25, 26, 44 and 66 — based on a dream, Arthur said. Arthur said her sister, Marsha-Ann Smith, called her and told her they’d won.

“I said, ‘Well stop April fooling me and get off of my phone.’ She said, ‘I’m not. It’s May.’ She said, ‘Listen, I’m not lying.’ ” One sister, Katherine Nunnally, runs a community mentoring program for girls, Arthur said.

Her share of the winnings will help her run the program without having to rely on grants or special scholarships, Arthur said.

2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney offers his two cents.

ROMNEY SAYS TRUMP MUST RELEASE TAX RETURNS Mitt Romney, the party’s 2012 nominee, is also among the ranks of prominent Republicans Trump won’t be winning over anytime soon. He has suggested Trump hasn’t released his tax returns because they contained a “bombshell.”

Trump has given conflicting answers on his plans for his returns. In an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, he said he didn’t think he’d release his returns before the election.

The next day, he clarified on Twitter that he did intend to release the returns after an audit is finished. Then on Friday, he told ABC’s Good Morning America it was “none of your business” what his tax rate was.

Since then, few Chinese leaders have mentioned it, and Mao’s successor, Deng Xiaoping, launched China on its current prosperous path that combines free-market economics with authoritarian political rule.

The government has no plans to mark the anniversary, and the only museum dedicated to the Cultural Revolution in southern China has been ordered to cover its exhibits with modern propaganda posters and scaffolding.

Zhang’s story is typical of those caught up in the revolution. He was 12 when Mao issued the May 16 order for the masses to “criticize and repudiate those representatives of the bourgeoisie who have sneaked into the party, the government, the army.” Within a year, he had joined the ranks of the fanatical student movement known as the Red Guards.

A resident of the tiny town of Guzhen in China’s eastern Anhui province, Zhang saw his job as protecting Mao, routing class enemies and perpetuating the revolution.

He denounced his father as bourgeoisie for buying his sister face cream, participated in the destruction of pre-revolutionary items, such as an antique ceramic vase and changed his name from Zhang Tiefu to Zhang Hongbing

Nevertheless, the delegate math is bleak for the Vermont senator in his battle to overtake Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. During an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, he said, “There are many areas that I could have attacked Hillary Clinton on that I have chosen not to attack her on.”

He said the media fixated on Trump’s provocative statements, but that he was focused on the issues, such as income inequality.

“Those are the issues that I talk about, not Bill Clinton’s personal life, not Hillary Clinton’s emails, not the Clinton Foundation,” Sanders said. “That is what Trump will talk about. That’s what the media will talk about.”

The moment he regrets most came one night in February 1970, when his mother, Fang Zhongmou, criticized Mao for unleashing the wave of chaos and violence. Zhang was furious. He called the police and denounced her as a counter-revolutionary. In a report he wrote days later, he recommended that she be shot.

“It took me 10 years to realize that what I did was wrong,” he said. “At the time, I believed I was doing my duty as member of the revolutionary proletariat.”

China’s current president, Xi Jinping, also was caught up in the Cultural Revolution. He was “sent down” during the period, spending six years living in a cave in the northwestern province of Shaanxi, where he helped villagers carry manure, repair dams and build roads.

Xi’s father, Xi Zhongxun, was a member of China’s ruling elite but had a falling out with Mao and was sent to manage a tractor factory in Luoyang in central China before being imprisoned in Beijing. Xi has never spoken publicly about the impact of the Cultural Revolution.

Experts say the current leadership wants to avoid a close examination of the period for fear it might weaken their grip on power.

the portion of health care costs borne by consumers has left many unable to afford care.

As insurers have shortened their lists of “in network” doctors and hospitals, another problem is growing: the “surprise medical bill” received by patients who didn’t realize they had gone out of network for care.

DRUGS: MORE THAN COST

Rising drug prices are also a problem. Both Republicans and Democrats have discussed proposals to address prescription drug costs. But there is more involved here than the prices paid by patients. Drugmakers note that the big rewards on breakthrough drugs offset the losses for those that never make it to the pharmacy. But at what point does the cost to society for a drug, like new treatments for hepatitis C that run more than $80,000, become prohibitive?

LONG-TERM CARE

Every day, 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 and qualify for Medicare. An estimated 70% of them will need some sort of longterm care. The annual cost of these services can range from about $46,000 for a home health aide to $80,000 or more for a bed in a nursing home.

Yet Medicare, the health program for the elderly and some disabled, does not pay for most

long-term care services. Medicare’s nursing home and home care benefits are temporary and limited to those with specific medical needs. Most long-term care recipients don’t need special medical interventions, just help with daily activities.

By contrast, Medicaid, the joint state-federal health program for people with low incomes, paid just over half of the nation’s estimated $310 billion tab for long-term care in 2013, the most recent year for which information is available. But you either have to be very poor or spend nearly all of your savings to qualify.

Private insurance for longterm care exists, but it is expensive and remains uncommon, paying for just 8% of the 2013 bill.

And it has been getting harder to purchase: insurers are pulling back from the products as people, especially women, live longer.

MEDICARE

Speaking of seniors, Medicare, which provides health insurance to some 55 million people — 46 million who are 65 or older and 9 million with disabilities, is also in a financial bind.

Medicare accounts for 14% of all federal spending, and that is expected to grow rapidly as those Boomers reach their highest health-spending years.

Interestingly, Medicare spending has slowed dramatically in re-

cent years.

The Obama administration contends that changing the way Medicare pays health care providers, as begun in the ACA, has put the program on more sustainable footing.

Many Republicans, however, want to effectively privatize Medicare, which would transfer the risk for cost increases to private insurers.

Chinese scholars want the government to allow more study of the period. “The more you try to bury history, the bigger the problem will be,” Ma Yong, a researcher in modern history at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in February, according to Phoenix News. “History should not be manipulated by politicians.”

Former Red Guard Zhang is doing his part to keep memories of the Cultural Revolution alive by writing his memoirs, Confessions of an Unfilial Son. He said he hopes that one day there will be a state-funded museum to the revolution that lists his and other people’s crimes and losses.

Zhang also has one humble wish: to erect a grave stone to his mother and have it classified as an immovable cultural relic to warn others of the horrors extreme ideology. He is trying to secure that right through the Chinese courts.

“I cannot reverse what I did to my mother, but I can keep fighting to win recognition of her case,” Zhang said. “Maybe ... something good can come of her death. Maybe that way we can prevent a cultural revolution happening all over again.”

FACT CHECK: TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS The candidate says ‘there’s nothing to learn’ from his files, but experts counter that the public can gain key insights Lori Robertson and Robert Farley FactCheck.org

Donald Trump said “there’s nothing to learn” from his tax returns, but experts say there’s plenty to learn from presidential candidates’ tax returns, including sources of income, effective tax rates, charitable giving and more.

Unlike other 2016 presidential candidates, Trump hasn’t released his returns and says he won’t until an IRS audit is finished. Republican 2012 nominee Mitt Romney called for Trump to release them, saying it’s “disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse” to do so.

Every major party nominee since the late 1970s has released tax returns before Election Day. When Trump was asked about releasing the returns at a February presidential debate, he said, “You don’t learn anything from a tax return,” a claim he repeated this week in an interview with the Associated Press.

Associated Press, May 11: “ ‘There’s nothing to learn from them,’ Trump said. He also said he doesn’t believe voters are interested. “ ‘Now, I hope (the audit) gets finished soon. And if it gets finished soon, I put it out immediately because there’s nothing there. But until you get finished, you won’t,’ he said.”

He similarly said on NBC’s Meet the Press on May 8 that “you don’t learn much from tax returns.”

RIPE FOR DISCOVERY

On the contrary, Roberton Williams, the Sol Price fellow at the non-partisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, told us there are three things we could learn from Trump’s returns: details about where he gets his income and how much it is; “how he’s structuring his income for tax purposes”; and what kind of deductions he takes, including charitable giving. If Trump had overseas income or foreign bank

Returns reveal “how candidates conduct themselves in the gray areas of the tax law.”

accounts, that information would be on his tax return.

Jeremy Scott, editor in chief of the commentary and analysis products for the non-profit Tax Analysts, told us in a phone interview that it was “strange for Trump to say you don’t learn anything,” when just four years ago, Romney’s effective tax rate, revealed through his tax returns, was a significant issue. (In fact, Romney’s 14% effective tax rate in 2010, due to most of his income coming from dividends and capital gains, became fodder for Obama campaign attack ads.)

Scott told us that ever since President Nixon released his returns in 1973, the candidate’s returns have been “a form of checking on how a candidate conducts his financial affairs.” Conflicts of interest can be exposed, as well as how a candidates’ individual tax policy squares with his proposals.

President Franklin D. Roose-

velt, said Scott, pushed the idea of paying your fair share, but his returns — released by his presidential library after he was in office — show he was “actually very aggressive at trying to minimize his own taxes.”

The Tax Analysts’ Tax History Project is compiling an online archive of candidates’ returns. Project Director Joseph Thorndike wrote in a May 12 blog post on taxnotes.com that beyond an effective tax rate, “returns can shed light on the way a candidate lives his life. It can tell us about charitable giving as well as personal borrowing and investment activity. Returns can also illuminate the complicated business arrangements that often provide the bulk of a candidate’s income, especially for a real estate mogul like Trump.”

And the returns “tell us a lot about how candidates conduct themselves in the gray areas of the tax law,” Thorndike wrote.

“Some items on a tax return are black-and-white, like the income reported on a W-2. But other items, especially for someone with lots of non-salary business income, are open to debate and interpretation.”

Trump’s comments prompted Time magazine to outline “5 Interesting Things We Learned From Presidential Tax Returns,” including: Obama gave sizable charitable contributions to his controversial pastor; Romney had an unusually high IRA balance; and President George H.W. Bush gave nearly 62% of his 1991 income to charity.

Justin Wolfers, an economics and public policy professor at the University of Michigan, wrote in a May 11 piece in The New York Times that without the returns, voters are left to make their own inferences as to why Trump won’t release them.

In other words, if “there’s nothing to learn,” voters would, in fact, learn that.

“This explains why candidates like Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton were willing to release their returns, despite revealing useful ammunition for their opponents,” Wolfers wrote. “In each case, it was a savvy choice, because not revealing would have led voters to infer they were hiding something worse.”

TAX RETURN PRECEDENT

If Trump does not release his tax returns before the November election, he would be the first major party nominee not to do so in decades.

In 1976, Gerald Ford released a summary of his tax returns, rather than the complete tax returns.

“Every other major party nominee since then has released complete tax returns: not just summaries, not just a Form 1040, but the whole thing,” Thorndike, director of the Tax History Project, told us in an email. “That’s been standard practice, and that’s what voters have come to expect.”

Of the remaining Democratic presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton has released the last eight years of full returns, posted on her website, and Bernie Sanders has released one year.

On May 11, Romney posted a

message to Facebook calling Trump’s refusal to release tax returns “disqualifying.”

Romney on Facebook, May 11: “It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service. Tax returns provide the public with its sole confirmation of the veracity of a candidate’s representations regarding charities, priorities, wealth, tax conformance, and conflicts of interest.

Further, while not a likely circumstance, the potential for hidden inappropriate associations with foreign entities, criminal organizations, or other unsavory groups is simply too great a risk to ignore for someone who is seeking to become commander-in-chief.”

Romney, May 11: “Given Mr. Trump’s equanimity with other flaws in his history, we can only assume it’s a bombshell of unusual size.”

BE LIKE MITT?

It is perhaps ironic that Romney is suggesting — without any evidence — there may be a “bombshell” in Trump’s tax returns. In 2012, then-Senate majority leader Harry Reid made the unfounded claim that an anonymous source told him Romney hadn’t paid any taxes for 10 years. He called on Romney to release tax returns prior to 2010 to prove him wrong.

Romney released his 2010 tax returns in January 2012 and his 2011 tax returns in September 2012 (when he said they were finally completed). Romney said he would not release any more than those two years, arguing that he was only following the “precedent” set by Sen. John McCain in releasing just two years of tax returns. As we wrote in July 2012, Romney was correct about the number of returns released by McCain, but we noted that McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee, bucked the trend of other recent presidential candidates.

In more than three decades, no other nominees for either party have released fewer than five years worth of returns.

WASHINGTON Alex Clark never aspired to become a sheriff.

But the 28-year-old lab manager entered the sheriff’s race in Somerset County, N.J., not to get the job but to help his favorite presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, get a prominent spot on the state’s June 7 Democratic primary ballot.

“I’m not running a campaign, or raising any money or spending any money,” Clark said. “I don’t expect to win.”

In New Jersey, county clerks often determine ballot positions by randomly drawing county candidates’ names from a wellshaken wooden box. Sanders’ campaign says those drawings can favor establishment and other candidates who are aligned — or “bracketed” — with the county candidates.

Had Sanders not assembled his own slate of affiliated county candidates, he could have ended up in New Jersey’s version of “ballot Siberia,” said state Assemblyman John Wisniewski, Sanders’ state chairman. That could have handed Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner, a major advantage in last month’s drawings.

In the end, Sanders got the prime ballot position in seven counties and will appear in the next column in most others.

“You want to be part of the drawing so that at a minimum, if you don’t get (column) A you get B,” Wisniewski said. “If you’re not part of that, you can be literally anywhere on the ballot.”

Premier positioning on a ballot as “big as a bathmat” is “a longtime New Jersey obsession,” said Ross Baker, a Rutgers University political science professor.

ten are drawn first from each county clerk’s box for the Column A position on that county’s ballot. Other primary candidates up and down the ballot who are aligned with the winner of the drawing also will appear in that first — and most visible — ballot column. Candidates who aren’t bracketed with county candidates, in some cases, are either drawn or chosen later.

County clerks have discretion to interpret ballot positioning rules, and candidates are sometimes in the dark on how the rules will be applied.

Sanders’ campaign requested ballot placement rules from each of the state’s 21 county clerks and received three responses. Only one response — from Sussex County — answered the question.

The campaign recruited county candidates in most counties “because we couldn’t get a good answer,” Wisniewski said.

Clark said he was attending a meeting for Sanders campaign volunteers when someone asked if anyone from Somerset County was present.

“I was the only one,” he said.

Thus began Clark’s journey to coffee shops and strip malls after work to collect the 100 signatures he needed to get on the ballot. “I didn’t really understand how the election laws worked and how the elections were run,” he said. “It’s not something that regular people who go to vote are aware of.”

Iran not seeing benefits from nuclear deal Kerry moves to reassure foreign banks leery of U.S. sanctions and mistrustful of Tehran Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

Secretary of State John Kerry met Thursday with European bankers to clarify rules for doing business with Iran, which complains that continued U.S. sanctions are blocking economic benefits it expects from the nuclear deal signed last July.

“We want to make it clear that legitimate business, which is clear under the definition of the agreement, is available to banks,” Kerry said after meeting in London with Britain’s top commerce official and representatives from Europe’s largest financial institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays and HSBC. “As long as they do their normal due diligence and know who they’re dealing with, they’re not going to be held to some undefined and inappropriate standard here,” he said, according to a transcript provided by the State Department.

One of the banks represented, BNP Paribas, agreed in May 2015 to pay a record fine for illegally processing funds from Iran, Sudan and Cuba through U.S. financial institutions. The chief legal officer of another, HSBC, issued a statement saying his bank will not do

business in Iran, despite Kerry’s reassurances, because Iran remains a violator of too many financial and legal norms.

“Our decisions will be driven by the financial-crime risks and the underlying conduct,” Stuart Levey, who was undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the U.S. Treasury under presidents George W. Bush and Obama, said in an op-ed published Thursday in The Wall Street Journal. “For these reasons, HSBC has no intention of doing any new business involving Iran. Governments can lift sanctions, but the private sector is still responsible for managing its own risk and no doubt will be held accountable if it falls short.”

Iran reached an agreement with the United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, France and Germany to limit its nuclear program to peaceful activities in return for the lifting of crippling international sanctions.

The deal was supposed to release tens of billions of Iran’s dollars that had been frozen in foreign banks and allow the oilrich country to trade freely with customers around the world.

The deal did not end U.S. sanctions on other Iranian activities, however, such as its support for terrorism, development of ballistic missiles and violations of human rights. And the U.S. Supreme

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told foreign bankers last week that legitimate business can still be done with Iran.

“Our decisions will be driven by the financialcrime risks and the underlying conduct.”

Court allowed victims of Iraniansponsored terrorism to collect reparations from $2 billion in Iran’s assets frozen in U.S. banks.

In March, the U.S. slapped Iran with new sanctions over ballistic missile tests that the White House

had said would violate the nuclear agreement.

Ongoing U.S. sanctions and seizures of Iranian assets cause world financial institutions that use the U.S. financial network to fear running afoul of U.S. laws if they deal with Iran. But that’s not the only factor preventing foreign companies from doing business with Iran, according to a report in April

by Iran’s foreign ministry.

The global banking system has been enlisted in the fight against terrorism, smugglers and money laundering, and now requires more transparency than a decade ago, the report said, according to a translation by the American En-

terprise Institute.

“Unfortunately, other factors such as corruption, lack of transparency, money laundering, difficult laws and other things have added to the problems,” the Iranian report said. “There is a need to oppose such problems in addition to amending laws and fighting corruption.”

Whether that message is getting through to Tehran is not clear. On Monday, more than 100 members of Iran’s parliament urged President Hassan Rouhani to abandon the nuclear agreement and resume past nuclear activities if the U.S. does distribute the court-approved terror funds, according to Iran’s Press TV. Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, last month accused the U.S. of “deception” to obstruct international trade with Iran. The U.S. agrees “on paper” to allow foreign banks to do business in Iran, “but in practice they create Iranophobia so no one does business with Iran,” Khamenei said, according to the Tehran Times.

Sen. Ben Cardin, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the Iranian reaction is no surprise.

Under the nuclear agreement, “we are fully permitted to take independent actions with respect to” ballistic missiles, terrorism and human rights — “and we will,” Cardin said. “Congress is prepared to support the administration, and if it’s needed we will strengthen those tools.”

Palestinians mark 1948 ‘Catastrophe’

Violence has abated, but anger over region’s intractable problems hasn’t Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY BETHLEHEM , WEST BANK

Sixtyeight years after the creation of the state of Israel, young Palestinians are losing hope that they will ever live to see the creation of their own independent state.

The growing despair mounted last week as Israelis celebrated their Independence Day on Wednesday and Palestinians prepared for their annual Nakba observance Sunday to mourn what they call “the Catastrophe” — Israel’s establishment on May 14, 1948, and the displacement of Palestinians living there. Palestinians always commemorate the dat on May 15.

The Nakba was a “central event” in Palestinian history, “and the consequences continue to this day,” says Samir Awad, a political scientist at Bir Zeit University near Ramallah. “The younger generations feel they have no options. They live in territories surrounded by Israeli soldiers and settlements. We have no sovereignty and the rate of unemployment is 25% in the West Bank and 40% in Gaza.”

Frustration over their status has helped fuel many of the stabbings and other attacks Palestinian teens and young adults have carried out against Israelis since last September. “The situation is unbearable, and people feel they have the right to rebel,” Awad said.

The attacks have only set back the Palestinian cause for a separate state by raising Israeli fears and making prospects for renewing long-stalled peace talks even more remote.

The attacks have abated in recent weeks as a result of tighter Israeli security and efforts by the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, to prevent the attacks, something it failed to do in the fall.

Even so, a majority of Palestinians still favor violence against Israel. In April, 58% supported knife attacks, 56% backed a fullfledged uprising and 65% opposed measures the Palestinian Authority has taken to halt attacks, according to a poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.

Thabet Abu Rass, co-director of the Abraham Fund, a nonprofit group that promotes equality among Israeli Jews and Arabs, said Palestinians are in limbo.

“There is no peace process, no genuine attempt to solve the Palestinian question, and that adds to the frustration,” said Abu Rass, a Palestinian who lives in Israel.

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but imposed a blockade in 2007 after Hamas, the militant group that governs the area, repeatedly launched attacks against Israel. Palestinians large-

And there is further anger over the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which Palestinians consider their land.

One way to lower this frustration, Abu Rass said, is for Israel to “recognize the Palestinians’ right of return” to what is now Israel, where 700,000 were displaced in the upheaval surrounding the creation of the Jewish state.

Benny Morris, an Israeli historian at Georgetown University, said Israelis are united in their belief that the influx of up to 5 million Palestinian refugees and descendants “would mean suicide for the Jewish state. It would lead to an Arab majority.”

Abu Rass acknowledged “there is no way to return 5 million refugees to Israel without changing Israel’s demographics, but Palestinians do have some rights there,” he said. “The first step is to recognize a disaster happened to the Palestinian people and then to negotiate what’s the best

way to solve the refugee crisis.”

The issue of Palestinians’ right to return has long been a major point of contention in peace talks. Mordechai Kedar, a senior lecturer at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv, accuses Palestinians of rewriting history and blaming Israel for events they themselves created.

Hanging out with friends in Bethlehem University’s cafeteria, Bayan Abu Khdeir, 18, a resident of East Jerusalem, said she didn’t know that the United Nations had approved the creation of both a Jewish and Arab state in what was then British-ruled Palestine (a proposal rejected by the Arabs), or that Arab armies had

“There is no peace process, no genuine attempt to solve the Palestinian question, and that adds to the frustration.”

Thabet Abu Rass, co-director of a non-profit group that promotes equality

“They forget that more than 750,000 Jews in Arab countries were forced to flee and became refugees” from 1948 through the early 1970s, Kedar said. “But unlike the Arabs, we Jews didn’t turn their refugee status into a 68-year-long profession.”

Kedar added that the Arab world fails to acknowledge that troops from six Arab countries invaded Israel the day after its creation.

For Palestinians, “Israel’s very existence is an occupation. ... The Nakba was their failure to wipe out Israel.”

attacked Israel in 1948.

“The issue is that it will never be possible to make peace with Israel. Israelis are killing us every day. ... They don’t want us here,” said Abu Khdeir.

Issa Zeit, 23, a computer information systems student, is more hopeful about the future. After working alongside Jews in a West Bank supermarket, Zeit said he believes most Jews want a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

“It’s clear we can’t kick the Jews out and they can’t kick us out,” he said. “The goal now is to keep things calm.”

CHINA’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION 10 YEARS OF TERROR AND TURMOIL

Mao propaganda poster from Cultural Revolution GETTY IMAGES

50 years ago: On May 16, 1966, Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution in China, a movement to purify communist ideology across the nation and consolidate his power. The revolution lasted 10 years, resulted in the loss of more than a million lives and destroyed much of China’s cultural history.

Facebook’s Zuckerberg takes claims of bias “seriously.”

IN THE HOT SEAT COST OF LIVING — LONGER Long-term care grew more expensive again this year, with the cost of the priciest option, a private nursing home room, edging closer to $100,000 annually, according to a survey from Genworth Financial. Americans also are paying more for other care options like home health aides and assisted living communities, while adult day care costs fell slightly compared with 2015, Genworth reported in a study released Tuesday. Private nursing home rooms now come with a median annual bill of $92,378, an increase of 1.2% from last year and nearly 19% since 2011. That’s roughly twice the rate of overall inflation and breaks down to a monthly bill of $7,698.

t’s been quite a roller-coaster ride for most investors this year — but amusement park investors are doing more smiling than screaming.

Shares of the big regional theme park operators Six Flags Entertainment (SIX) and Cedar Fair (FUN) are up 5.6% and 4.2%, respectively, this year — and that doesn’t even include their thrilling 4% and 5.6% annual dividend yields. Compare that to the 0.1% rise in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index this year and its roughly 2% dividend. It’s not just the regional operators benefiting from strong theme park attendance.

Walt Disney (DIS) may have missed first-quarter earnings expectations, but that wasn’t because of the company’s parks.

Operating income at Disney’s U.S. theme parks was up 20% from the same period last year and spending per person rose 8%.

Analysts remain bullish on the amusement business heading into the busy summer season as park operators aggressively build attractions and inject tech like virtual reality (VR) into their parks this year. Disney is about to open a park in China, and Six Flags and Cedar Fair are equipping rides with white-knuckle virtual-reality thrills.

“Look at the rides and attractions. It’s as impressive a lineup as I’ve ever seen,” says James Hardiman, analyst at Wedbush Securities. “This type of entertainment — experiences with family — is gaining in popularity. The rides and attractions are resonating.”

Six Flags is perhaps the best example of how the amusement park business is giving investors the ride of their lives. The compa-

ny, which operates 16 theme parks in the U.S., has seen its shares soar 22% the past 12 months as it has beaten profit expectations the past four quarters. The company’s revenue jumped 36% in the first quarter to $115 million, and analysts think it will be 8% higher for the year at $1.4 billion, says S&P Global Market Intelligence. Six Flags is adding attractions using VR technology from Facebook’s

(FB) Oculus Rift and Samsung at nine parks this season, says Barton Crockett, analyst at FBR & Co. New tech should boost cash flow by 6% and attendance by 2%, Crockett says. “VR is extending the life of old coasters and injecting greater freshness,” he says.

Talk about a bottom-to-top ride. Six Flags’ free cash flow hit $350 million the past 12 months, a dramatic reversal from 2010

The Bizarro roller coaster at Six Flags New England, in Agawam, Mass., is one draw that has helped the company’s shares soar. when the company burned $30 million in cash. The company had filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009.

The ability to refresh rides using technology, rather than just spending $15 million to $20 million to construct entirely new roller coasters, highlights the profit power of these businesses, says Timothy Conder, analyst at Wells Fargo. Regional theme park operator stocks have also become even more attractive as investors appreciate the fat dividends they pay and the relative stability of the businesses. Regional theme parks’ revenue can hold up during an economic downturn because more consumers skip pricey vacations and take local trips. But if the economy is strong, consumers will go to the theme park and also take the exotic vacation.

That’s not to say the industry doesn’t have its challenges.

SeaWorld (SEAS) shares are down 17% the past 12 months as the company bowed to a public backlash against its orca exhibits.

Analysts still rate the stock a “hold” as the company phases out its once-marquee killer whale shows. Going forward, the company is using two strategies to win back consumers, Conder says.

SeaWorld will emphasize its animal research and conservation efforts in its exhibits. It also plans to broaden its appeal by adding thrill rides.

Another wild card is whether the expansion will cause the market to be oversaturated with entertainment. Comcast’s NBC Universal just opened a theme park expansion based on Harry Potter in Los Angeles. The industry is hoping the new attraction will boost interest in theme parks in the area, rather than soak up demand, Hardiman says.

Spotify embraces Apple Music as rival Battle gooses growth for both major players, tech exec observes

Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

The battle between Apple Music and Spotify rages on.

Since Apple Music’s launch in June, many have wondered what impact it would have on Spotify, the arguable leader in the musicstreaming category.

One year later, Spotify Vice President Jonathan Forster says Apple’s arrival has only helped, not hurt, the Swedish streaming giant.

Talking with Reuters, Forster seems pleased Apple entered the market. “It’s great that Apple is in the game. They are definitely raising the profile of streaming. It is hard to build an industry on your own,” Forster said. “Since Apple Music started, we’ve been growing quicker and adding more users than before.”

NEW YORK

SPOTIFY

Spotify closes in on 100 million subscribers since 2008.

Forster says the service is closing in on 100 million subscribers since its 2008 launch.

In March, CEO Daniel Ek tweeted that the company has 30 million paid, or “Premium,” subscribers, up from 20 million in June.

Apple Music, by comparison, has 13 million users, CEO Tim Cook revealed during the company’s earnings call last month.

Last week, Apple introduced student pricing for its music service, matching Spotify’s popular $4.99 a month discount offered to college students. Paid subscriptions to both services traditionally start at $9.99 per month.

The iPhone maker is also likely to introduce a radical redesign of Apple Music next month at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference.

According to 9to5Mac, the new layout will drop the current app’s colorful design for a more refined black-

and-white look with a greater emphasis placed on the curated “For You” section of the app. The new app is likely to be released this fall as part of Apple’s annual iOS software upgrade for the iPhone and iPad. Spotify has been countering with a new focus on video content — something offered by Apple Music and other rivals such as Tidal and YouTube — in a bid to keep more people on the app.

Last Monday, the streaming service announced that it would be creating 12 new original series as well as partnering with actor Tim Robbins and Russell Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam Records.

The new series would expand on the company’s current video offerings, which feature video podcasts and content from ESPN, NBC and Comedy Central and online outlets including BuzzFeed and Maker Studios.

PERSONAL FINANCE COST OF CARE

Autism can cost families millions Caring for children on the autism spectrum is a life-long (and expensive) labor of love Jayne O’Donnell and Laura Ungar USA TODAY

T

here’s a saying repeated in the autism community: “If you know one child with autism, you know one child with autism.”

That speaks more to the special support a child on the autism spectrum might require, but it also reflects the financial implications such a diagnosis has for a family. Estimates of the lifetime costs of raising a child with autism range from $1.4 million to $2.5 million, says Adam Beck, director of the Center for Special Needs Planning at The American College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. That compares with about $300,000 up until age 18 for a typical child.

“All children have different needs,” says Kathy SheppardJones, executive director of the Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky. “You have to plan ahead or else you have no plan.”

In suburban Washington, two families illustrate the challenges of raising children with autism and other disabilities.

Glen Finland of McLean, Va., wrote the book Next Stop about her efforts to turn David, 29, into a relatively independent adult. The title refers to teaching him to ride the subway so he could go to jobs, including one as a Washington Nationals baseball usher.

Nearby in Silver Spring, Md., Kathy and Tom Page are raising two autistic sons, Alex and Devin.

Alex, 24, is non-verbal and is prone to violence when upset. Devin, 25, has limited language, perfect penmanship and loves to hug his 15year-old sister, Karly, and his mother.

About one in 68 U.S. children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Of the 12 million Americans who need long-term care, about half are under 65.

The Pages gather in their Silver Spring, Md., backyard.

ere’s one thing financial advisers don’t appear to be sweating: a 2016 stock market meltdown. Despite the market’s rocky start to the year, more than 150 of 200 financial professionals who responded to a survey by NerdWallet earlier this year said they think the Standard & Poor’s 500 index will end the year flat or in positive territory. Another thing not weighing heavily on the minds of respondents? The potential that a recession will send the U.S. into an economic tailspin in 2016.

So what does keep financial advisers, tax experts, credit counselors and wealth managers up at night?

FINANCIAL TIPS FOR FAMILIES

uStay home. Decide whether you can afford for one spouse to stay home with the child.

Also, take a hard look at what sort of medical treatment he needs and whether he should go to a specialized school or summer camp. Think about diversified portfolios, including funds of varying aggressiveness, and basically plan for retirement with the child in mind, Beck recommends. uBe inclusive. Involve the young adult when possible in discussions about housing, transportation and benefits, Finland says. Although the Social Security Administration encourages consumers to do everything online, she suggests that parents try to make an appointment with a local office for personal assistance — and bring their son or daughter, along with all necessary paperwork. uEncourage jobs. Take advantage of a government shift toward “employment first,”

Sheppard-Jones says. The federal 2014 ABLE Act, for example, lets eligible people set up accounts to have a choice over spending related to their disabilities and receive benefits such as Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid while working and earning money for themselves. David Finland has worked as a baseball usher, a janitor and in the mailroom of a federal agency. uBe protective. Decide if you need to assume limited legal guardianship of your young adult with the help of a special needs trust attorney. Guardianship could further stigmatize him, but it also helps protect him from predators. uGet insured. The Pages opened a life insurance policy that will pay into a special needs trust after both parents die.

That way, their daughter won’t need to be responsible for helping her brothers with any financial needs they have that their

“All children have different needs.

You have to plan ahead or else you have no plan.”

disability benefits won’t cover. uThink ahead. Make plans for when both parents are no longer around. Plan on having serious chats with reliable friends or family members who might be willing to assume specific parts of the job of financial trustees, Finland recommends.

Even with two adult autistic sons, this is easier for the Pages than for most. They have a large extended family in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, with grandparents and many aunts, uncles and cousins. uDon’t wait. Start early to find affordable, independent housing. Group homes typically have at least a five-year waiting list, Finland says.

“In the final analysis, there is relief, not dread, in wising up and finding new ways to think about securing your child’s future,” Finland says. “And remember, whenever you can, step back to let this young adult make his own choices.”

THERE’S NOTHING TO FEAR MORE THAN FEAR ITSELF

Of all the things that can threaten an investor’s confidence — economic uncertainty, global turmoil, election-year shenanigans — what scares financial advisers the most is the emotional state of the person sitting in their waiting room.

One of the biggest threats to a person’s financial well-being is how they respond to market volatility. The reactions advisers say worry them most are: uPanic sellers. Seeking short-term comfort is a natural reaction when you see your portfolio take a sharp turn south. But panic sellers risk missing out on gains when a down cycle for stocks reverses direction. Data from Fidelity about investor behavior during the 2008 financial crisis show the portfolio returns of those who bailed out of stocks shortly after the crash and remained on the sidelines through March 2010 lost an average of nearly 7%. Those who stayed the course saw their average balances

rise roughly 22%. uSavers frozen by fear. It’s the continual addition of money to an account (dollar-cost averaging) that keeps the wheels of compounding rolling and smooths out long-term returns.

But jittery investors are more apt to abandon this key part of the wealth-building equation. “The volatile market and fearful outlook are giving clients the mental excuse not to continue saving and investing according to their plan,” says Brian McCann, principal at Bootstrap Capital in San Jose. uDaredevils who “buy low” no matter what. In contrast to those seeking cover in cash are those driven to take excessive risks by blindly buying stocks that have dropped. Buying based solely on price (and without knowledge of a company’s intrinsic value) is taking an uncalculated risk — no matter the market conditions. uClients who think that “this time it’s different.”

“Many people are letting shortterm volatility influence their long-term decisions, even though volatility is normal and should be expected when investing in the stock market,” says Joe Allaria, a certified financial planner at Visionary Wealth Advisors in Edwardsville, Ill. The danger of recency bias — giving more weight to what has happened recently than to how things have gone historically — is that it can drive investors to abandon strategies that were put in place during calmer times. uPeople focusing on the wrong metrics. Worrying about monthly, quarterly and minuteby-minute performance is a distraction from what really matters: how on-target you are to reach your long-term goals. If you can’t resist checking up on your returns, at least do a proper portfolio checkup. Compare the performance of your investments with the appropriate benchmark and make sure your allocation is still aligned with goals and risk tolerance. uFluctuating time horizons. “Time heals all wounds” may be a cliché, but that’s because it’s true — especially when it comes to investing. One of the biggest mistakes people make is not realizing how long their time horizon really is, says Marc Smith, financial adviser at Red Wave Investments in Dillsburg, Pa. “Life expectancy keeps increasing, and even someone who is 60-plus years old likely has another 20 to 30 years to live. Maybe more. This means more people have the time to ride through the ups and downs of a market.”

Regardless of whether you are a client, every investor should heed the things that scare financial advisers the most — and strive to avoid succumbing to fear.

Brother battles shaped transfer Maxwell

KANSAS SOFTBALL

Fitting finish

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Future Kansas University basketball center Evan Maxwell never had to worry about losing his competitive edge — or his conditioning — during breaks in the school calendar the past two years at Liberty University.

Trips from the campus in Lynchburg, Va., back to his hometown of Clarks Summit, Pa. (eight miles from Scranton in the northeast part of the state) usually resulted in some ferocious pickup games with Maxwell family members.

“I have Maxwell two other 7-foot brothers. I’m playing casual 2-on-2 and have two 7-footers at the rim every single time. Not many people get that opportunity to work like that,” said the 6-foot-10, 245-pound Maxwell, who on Friday night announced plans to transfer from Liberty to KU. “It helps with my touch around the rim. I can score over bigger defenders. It’s good for my younger brother, too, he added of Seth, a 7-foot senior to be at Abington Heights High, Evan’s alma mater. Evan’s older brothers with small-college experience are Travis, a 7-footer, and Brandon, who stands 6-4.

Meanwhile, his sister, Alyssa, who also played high school and small-college ball, can hold her own at 5-foot-10, while mom Andréa is 5-11, and dad Brian is 6-6.

“It’s awesome because it’s what we love to do,” Evan Maxwell added of playing hoops. “Obviously it’s competitive with three 7-footers on the floor.”

‘He wants it bad’ Evan’s winding up at KU — he chose the Jayhawks over Virginia Tech, Baylor, Arizona and Cincinnati — appears to be a testament to the hard work he has put in

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR SHORTSTOP CHALEY BRICKEY DIVES to knock down a hard-hit grounder in the Jayhawks’ doubleheader sweep of Iowa State on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark. KU won 11-1 and 8-0.

Brickey helps KU sweep Cyclones

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University shortstop Chaley Brickey first set foot on the KU campus as a 17-year-old freshman four years ago. On Saturday, during KU’s 11-1, 8-0 doubleheader sweep of Iowa State at Arrocha Ballpark, Brickey played her final home game for the Jayhawks.

Between that first moment as a wide-eyed rookie and that final out before the tears began to flow, Brickey put together one of the best careers in Kansas softball history.

Dubbed by some within the program as The Pint-Sized Powerhouse, Brickey leaves Kansas with the all-time record in career walks (143), runs scored (172) and RBIs (155) and ranks second alltime with a .362 career batting average, 39 career home runs and 54 career doubles.

Numbers like those made

But the way her team dominated the Cyclones during her final series as a Jayhawk was the perfect ending to a stellar career.

“It’s a sad day for our

team,” KU coach Megan Smith said of Brickey’s finale.

“She’s one of the best players to ever play at Kansas, and she’s also one of the best players in the country right now. You can’t replace her.”

Brickey’s decision to graduate high school a year early to

get her college softball career going started as a joke. But after looking into it and discovering she actually could do it, the 5-foot-1 infielder from Haltom City, Texas, pursued it tenaciously.

Although tears — from her and her mother — spilled down her face during the postgame ceremony that honored KU’s five seniors, Brickey quickly found the smile that was so often present as she helped lead KU softball to a 143-74 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances during the past four years. Brickey, who recently was drafted by the Pennsylvania Rebellion of the National Pro Fastpitch League, will return to KU next season in a coaching role. That fact made Saturday’s send-off easier to handle. But it did nothing to keep the tears at bay.

CLASS 6A STATE TENNIS

FSHS duo 8th; Lion Abromeit 11th

SPORTING A STYLISH CAP to ward off the morning chill, Lawrence High’s Elliott Abromeit backhands a shot at the Class 6A state tennis tournament Saturday at Harmon Park in Prairie Village. Abromeit placed 11th in singles.

Prairie Village — When Free State High sophomore Erik Czapinski thought back on his consolation semifinals match in doubles at the Class 6A boys tennis state tournament on Saturday, the only word that popped in his mind was “stressful.”

Czapinski and his doubles partner, junior Ian PultzEarle, trailed by a game against Blue Valley Northwest’s Alex Downing and Alex Batrouny when they broke a serve and forced a tiebreaker.

The tiebreaker was closer than the strings on their rackets. After trading point after point, the Firebirds’ duo had a match point, but Czapinski double faulted on his serve, chuckling at the bad timing. Then they

THE FREE STATE HIGH DOUBLES TEAM OF IAN PULTZ-EARLE, LEFT, and Erik Czapinski compete at state. The Firebirds took eighth place. watched the Huskies win the next two points and take the tiebreaker, 9-8 (8-6).

It was a painful loss for Pultz-Earle and Czapinski, who later lost their final match and took eighth place in doubles.

“After the match, I lost it a little bit,” Czapinski said.

“I realized it was all on my racket there. We were tied, and I shot that forehand way too long. I framed a forehand on match (point), and it was over. Simple as that. It was almost gimmicky how close it was.”

Before their last two losses, Pultz-Earle and Czapins-

ki advanced on the consolation side of the bracket with a win over Manhattan twins Ben and Matt Turnley. They lost in the state quarterfinals, 6-1, 6-0.

The doubles pairing, which finished 12th at state last season, ended the year with a 15-10 record.

“Our secondary goal was to do better than last year,” Czapinski said. “Our primary goal was top six. But can’t always get what you want, right? Two points away.”

By Dave Hyde

Three suits. Three shirts.

Three ties.

That could be the modernday mantra for the Miami Heat, considering Pat Riley summoned the motivational genies back in the glory year of 2006 by saying how he’d packed for his team’s potential close-out game in Dallas.

“One suit, one shirt, one tie,” he famously said.

Told this as Friday turned to Saturday, as Game 6’s win turned to Game 7’s thoughts, Heat rookie Josh Richardson stood at his locker and said, “That’s good. I hadn’t heard that one.”

He smiled. “I was, what, 12 then?”

Kids these days. No, really, the kids the Heat are winning with these days are something.

They add another layer to remind everyone what a remarkable accomplishment this team borders on with today’s Game 7 against the Toronto Raptors.

With a win, there’s the immediate reward of two games in Cleveland to open the Eastern Conference finals.

So it’s a three-game road trip demanding three suits in a series’ baggage already stuffed with stitches, sweat and smart thinking.

From a national perspective, this is an existential series since a trip to heavyweight Cleveland and a certain drubbing awaits: Is a win really a win? What is everyone doing here?

But a win for the Heat means this season is golden.

It says they’ve had their most fulfilling season after the three championships. Yes, better than the other Finals trips, if you’re measuring hurdles overcome and wringing the most from a roster.

Think of what they will have overcome: LeBron James’ unholy exit, which ended The Big Three and would stagger most franchises for years; Chris Bosh’s loss to a blood clot a second straight February, which robbed the Heat of The Big Two; even Hassan Whiteside and, in some form, Luol Deng this series.

Toronto coach Dwane Casey talks of the Heat’s “championship nature,” which is nice of him. But that nature consists on the court of The Big One. Dwyane Wade keeps lifting a team in a way no one (raising my hand) thought capable at 34 after the last few injury-laden seasons.

Look who’s coming with him into Game 7, too. Deng playing with one hand. Joe Johnson, who was on a 1-for-18 streak on 3-point shots before burying one late in Game 6.

Goran Dragic, who always has a great game in him — you’re just not sure when.

Then there’s the kids: Richardson, the 40th overall pick in last year’s draft keeps doing things 40th picks rarely do ever, much less as rookies; Tyler Johnson, a week back from a three-month layoff because of shoulder injury; and Justise Winslow, who is suddenly a 6-7 center.

Can this team rally from 3-2 deficits twice in one playoffs and become the first team in NBA history to do so?

Three suits. Three shirts.

Three ties.

That could bring Friday’s Heat accomplishment and today’s hope into a motivational circle. This team won’t win a title like that 2006 team.

But Game 7 isn’t about advancing to Cleveland. It’s about overcoming the latest hurdle so a good season advances to a remarkable one.

Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. — Jason Day set the 36-hole record at The Players Championship on Saturday morning. By the end of a long and laborious day of big numbers, he was hanging on by the seat of his pants on a TPC Sawgrass that was as frightening as ever.

Through it all, one aspect never changed: Day is in charge, and he looks like he will be tough to beat.

On a vastly different golf course with greens that felt like putting on glass compared with the previous two rounds, Day overcame two double bogeys with a strong back nine for a 1-over 73 to maintain his four-shot lead.

But what a wild ride.

Day four-putted from 18 feet for double bogey and made another double bogey when he blasted out of sand across the green into deep rough as his lead shrunk to one shot.

From there, the world’s No. 1 player played 3 under with no bogeys over the final 10 holes to restore some semblance of order.

He was at 14-under 202. Any thoughts of adding to the record book were gone. But when a shootout turned into survival, all that mattered was the lead.

Ken Duke turned in the best round of the day by making six birdies over his last seven holes for a 65, more than 10 shots better than the average score. He was four shots behind along with Hideki Matsuyama (67) and Alex Cejka (72).

“I’m just a player on the PGA Tour,” Duke said. “They’re all good out here, and when you get some good number and make some good putts, the scores are there. ... But it was a great round. This golf course is very difficult with this condition, and it was a really unbelievable round.”

As tough as the greens were to putt — there were 148 three-putts or worse — the Stadium Course still presented its typical set of problems.

Russell Knox was trying to stay in the mix when he put three shots into the water on the island-green 17th and took a 9. That ruined his round (he shot 80) and his chances. Kevin Chappell was three shots behind when he had to play his second shot with his feet on the planks framing the water on the 18th hole. Having made two eagles, he closed with a double bogey to fall six shots back.

Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson and defending champion Rickie Fowler all missed the cut when the storm-delayed second round was completed Saturday morning. If there was a consolation, it was not having to take on Sawgrass and its scariest.

Shane Lowry of Ireland, playing in the final group, played his opening four holes in 5 over.

That feel-good story of tournament rookie Will Wilcox, who made the first hole-in-one in 14 years on the island-green 17th on Friday? He hit in the water Saturday to make double bogey and wound up with an 82.

Sergio Garcia took six putts from just off the sixth green. Paul Casey took five putts from about 8 feet on the 15th hole.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland struggled to a 4-over 76 Saturday.

He is 5-under for the tournament, in a tie for 15th place.

The average score the opening two rounds was 71.02. It was 75.59 on Saturday. There were 82 rounds under par on Thursday, 81 rounds under par in the second round, and only six of them on Saturday.

Of the 76 players who made the cut at 2-under par, 60 of them had a double bogey or worse.

MLB

Nats’ Harper drops appeal Washington — Nationals star Bryce Harper has dropped his appeal and served a one-game suspension in the second game of the day-night doubleheader Saturday against Miami.

The team announced the outfielder’s decision after he went 0-for-2 in Washington’s 6-4

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

win in the opener. The team did not open the locker room between games.

The reigning NL MVP was suspended and fined Wednesday by Major League Baseball for his behavior following an ejection in Monday’s 5-4 win over Detroit.

During the bottom of the ninth inning of that win, Harper was in the dugout when he was ejected by plate umpire Brian Knight after Nationals batter Danny Espinosa was called out on strikes.

After the ejection, pinch hitter Clint Robinson connected for a game-winning home run.

Harper, who by rule should not have been in the dugout after getting tossed, ran onto the field with his teammates to celebrate, pointed toward Knight and cursed at the umpire.

NASCAR

Jones wins Xfinity at Dover Dover, Del. — Erik Jones has won the Xfinity Series race at Dover International Speedway, where he earned a $100,000 bonus from the series’ Dash-4-Cash program.

Four drivers were eligible for the bonus, and Jones won it for the second time this season.

There’s one more Dash-4-Cash race, at Indianapolis this summer.

Jones led a race-high 76 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, and he was cruising to the win until a caution came out with 11 laps remaining because Brendan Gaughan spun. The yellow flag ate up Jones’ lead over Alex Bowman, who pitted under the caution for four tires.

Jones was the leader on the restart with five to go, and Bowman was fourth. Bowman ended up finishing third, behind Darrell Wallace Jr., who was in a backup car.

INDYCAR

Pagenaud takes Grand Prix Indianapolis — Simon Pagenaud pulled away to win the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday for his third straight victory and second in three years on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The French driver inherited the lead when Team Penske teammate Helio Castroneves pitted with 20 laps to go, and beat the Brazilian by 4.4748 seconds on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn course. Pagenaud is the first IndyCar driver to win three in a row since Scott Dixon in 2013.

Pagenaud started from the pole and led 57 of the 82 laps. He kept the lead despite making his final pit stop one lap after Castroneves.

Pagenaud extended his points lead over Dixon to 76. Dixon, the defending series champion, finished seventh for Target Chip Ganassi.

Canadian James Hinchcliffe, of SchmidtPeterson Motorsports, was third.

NBA

Green works to cut down T’s Oakland, Calif. — Stunningly, Draymond Green kept his mouth shut on the court for a full practice Saturday.

Golden State’s outspoken swingman is striving to cut down on his arguing and technical fouls for the rest of the postseason — which could be as challenging a task in the Western Conference finals as slowing down the explosive Thunder tandem of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

“It was a quiet practice,” forward Harrison Barnes said with a big grin and chuckle as the defending champion Warriors prepared for Game 1 on Monday night at Oracle Arena.

Green has four technicals so far, and seven would land him an automatic one-game suspension. He will give himself “a little wiggle room” to get one more.

“I’m not contesting any calls,” he said. “No. Because if I contest a call, no matter how my approach is going to go then, it’s going to change. I know me. I’m going to walk the other way and if they call a foul, ‘Good call.’ I’m not talking, nope.”

“It was like saying goodbye to another mom, like saying goodbye to family,” Brickey said of Smith and her teammates. “Thankfully, I’ll be back next year, so I’m not actually saying goodbye, I just won’t be playing under her any more. But I couldn’t have asked for a better senior class to go out with. They’re all great people and are gonna do great things in the future.”

Brickey joined seniors Briana Evans, Kylee Kennedy, Shannon McGinley and Monique Wesley in playing the final games of their KU careers Saturday, and Smith said the back-to-back, run-ruleshortened victories were a beautiful tribute to the senior class.

“It’s one thing to beat them three times,” Smith said. “It’s another thing to be dominant in all three games, and we were dominant in all three games. That’s the best way to send your seniors out. This year, all five seniors played and contributed. They’re fighters, they’re hard workers, they’ve got grit and great character.”

As for the specifics of Saturday’s sweep, KU benefitted from three monster innings. Behind strong pitching from Game One winner Alexis Reid (5-6) and Wesley (6-5), who started and won Game Two, the Jayhawks scored five runs in the second inning and six more in the fourth to take the opener, and added a six-run fourth in the nightcap to complete the sweep.

KU scored 19 runs on just 11 hits.

The Jayhawks (31-20 overall, 8-9 Big 12) will learn their postseason fate when the NCAA Tournament field is announced tonight. Many believe the Jayhawks will be left on the outside looking in, but their fourth-place finish in the No. 3-rated RPI conference and 26thranked strength of schedule gives them reason to watch the selection show, slated for a 9 p.m. start on ESPNU. “Thirty wins in a season is nothing to be ashamed of,” Smith said.

“And I’m proud of the girls and proud of how they finished this weekend. We had some breaks that didn’t go our way this year, and last year every break went our way.”

If Saturday was the end, Brickey said she would walk away from her incredible career most proud of one thing.

“Just helping this program become what it is today,” she said.

since getting serious about the sport in ninth grade.

“He’s my (favorite) guy,” said John Bucci of JB Hoops, who has trained Evan since his freshman year of high school. “Evan lifted every day for four years. He lifted when he was supposed to for four years. The best part of him is, he wants it bad. He has that lunchpail mentality. He gets it done. He gets it done.”

Though Maxwell went from “awkward” in ninth grade, as Bucci put it, to accomplished by the end of his high school career, he was only recruited by mid-majors Liberty and Monmouth. At Liberty, he averaged 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds a game his freshman year , upping that to 10.0 points and 4.8 boards his sophomore season.

He hit 63.7 percent of his shots (128 of 201) and 63 of 99 free throws (63.6) in 2015-16, totaling six blocks, 10 steals, 17 assists, 68 turnovers in 21.5 minutes per game.

His coach at (13-19) Liberty this past season was Ritchie McKay, who took over in 2015-16 after working as associate head coach at Virginia from 2009-15.

“I think KU is getting a really good prospect,” McKay said Saturday.

year,” FSHS coach Keith Pipkin said. “I’m like (Golden Warriors coach) Steve Kerr right now. I just got lucky, and the team was already good.”

Continuing their match that was suspended because of rain, Ryan and Pester led, 7-3, in the first round of the consolation bracket before watching it slip into a tiebreaker.

Ryan and Pester won the tiebreaker, 9-8 (3), then had plenty of momentum for a 9-3 victory over Washburn Rural’s Devin Wright and Jordan Lind to guarantee them-

‘Best program in the country’ Maxwell decided to ask for his release after the final game of the season to attack his goal of playing major-college ball.

“I visited Virginia Tech and Baylor. I had visits scheduled for Arizona and Cincinnati, but ended up canceling them after the Virginia Tech visit because I liked that so much,” said Maxwell, who will sit out next season in accordance with NCAA rules, then have two years of eligibility remaining starting in 201718. “Kansas came into the picture, and it seemed like a very good fit. They came in a little bit late in the process. They did a good job getting to know me as quickly as possible.

I took my visit (last week, mid week), and just being there, I knew it was

the place for me. I knew it was the right people.

Everything down to my parents and the way they were with the whole (coaching) staff and their wives. Every little part of it seemed the perfect fit. It was kind of a God thing. I didn’t think it would be right because I didn’t know them (before visiting). I prayed a lot.

He made it clear to me.

That’s what it was. I was there, felt it and knew it.

“I’m honored to say I belong to the best basketball program in the country. It’s a pretty cool opportunity,” Maxwell added.

Maxwell had a busy, productive campus visit.

“I got to meet all the guys. It was finals week, so I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with them.

They are great guys,” Maxwell said. “I got to spend time with the staff.

I got to know each one of them individually a little bit.

“I want to be around them and learn from them. I feel they could help me grow as a basketball player and help me become the man I want to become. My role is basically up to me. I think I could either sit the bench two years or I could start for two years. It’s up to me and how hard I work.

The biggest part of it is the fact they believe in me, and I know they believe in me, and I believe in them. With that right there, we can make anything happen.

And little bro, too?

In a perfect world, Evan would be playing college ball with his brother, Seth, in two seasons at KU. Seth is a 7-foot senior-to-be at Abington Heights.

“A lot of A-10 schools and Ivy League schools, Patriot League schools,” Evan said of which schools are recruiting his brother. “I know his recruiting is going to pick up when he goes to the next AAU circuit (this summer) and all that. I know a lot of good schools, American Conference and Big 12 and Big 10 schools are planning to go watch him next circuit. We don’t know if that (playing together) is in the future. I think that’s all up to God’s plan what he has for us. We see it working out that way possibly. It’s something we want to make happen. We have different strengths. We could play well together with the bigs system at Kansas.

If it happens, it happens.

This whole decision (to attend KU) was not based on that, obviously.”

selves a medal. They lost their final three matches, but were happy with the progress they made, especially after failing to reach the top 12 last season.

“Winning that match didn’t guarantee us a medal, but I think we realized that we played real well that entire match besides those couple of games,” Ryan said of the tiebreaker win. “Going into the next one, we had a whole bunch of confidence, and we just ran through it really easily.”

Lawrence High senior Elliott Abromeit took 11th place in singles, and the Lions were 11th as a team.

Abromeit lost his first three matches Saturday, including a 6-1, 6-0 loss to eventual champion Max

Kurzban of Blue Valley West.

In his final match against Olathe North sophomore Noah Crist, a rematch of the thirdplace match at regionals last week, Abromeit won six of the first seven games. Crist nearly evened the score when Abromeit struggled with his shot, but Abromeit won the final two games for a 9-6 win.

Abromeit, who will play at Doane College in Nebraska next year, finished with a 22-11 record.

“At the start of the season, I was hoping for a little more than 11th, but really looking at this singles bracket, it’s so much tougher than last year,” Abromeit said.

“The staff at Kansas … how good they are at developing bigs will really help Evan. He’s a terrific kid, someone most people will be endeared to.

to work. I know they won’t be easy on me. They will push me to be at the absolute best I can be. Since I want to be the best I can be, it’s a perfect match.

I have a long way to go and a lot of growth. They know that. I know that.

They are willing to help me get to that point. We both want the same thing for my future and the future of Kansas basketball.”

Manhattan — Kansas State banged out 18 hits and scored 12 runs Saturday night to even their weekend series with Kansas University baseball, 12-2, at Tointon Stadium.

The Jayhawks (20-30-1 overall, 6-13 Big 12) jumped to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a home run by freshman Devin Foyle, but the lead was short-lived as Kansas State scored two runs off Kansas starter Jackson Goddard in the bottom of the inning.

The Wildcats added a run in the second inning before Foyle scored on a single by Joven Afenir.

That was all the offense Kansas would manage against Wildcat starter Levi MaVorhis, who allowed five hits over eight innings. K-State (25-26, 7-13) chased Goddard after 11⁄3 innings and added nine more runs against five more Jayhawk pitchers.

“It was a great effort last night, and it was a really well-played game until the sixth inning today,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “We just didn’t get the start we needed from Goddard in order to stay in the fight long enough.”

The series concludes with a 1 p.m. game today at Tointon Stadium.

Kansas 100 100 000 — 2 6 1 Kansas St. 210 102 51x — 12 18 1 W — Levi MaVorhis, 6-4. L — Jackson Goddard, 2-6.

Vaulter Taylor paces KU at Big 12 J-W Staff Reports

Fort Worth, Texas — Kansas University’s Laura Taylor placed fourth in the pole vault to highlight the Day Two performances by Jayhawks on Saturday at the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Taylor cleared 13 feet, 33⁄4 inches.

On the men’s side, Jayhawks Nicolai Ceban (58111⁄4), Paul Golen (55-33⁄4) and Kenny Boyer (5491⁄4) placed 5-6-7 in the shot put.

KU’s Dylan Poirier collected a career-best 6,568 points to place sixth in the decathlon.

Kansas’ men are third in the team standings with 45 points, trailing Oklahoma (54) and Kansas State (46).

The KU women are fifth with 26 points, behind Oklahoma (46.5), K-State (37), Texas Tech (33) and Iowa State (29).

KANSAS CITY’S CHRISTIAN COLON DUCKS TO AVOID A PITCH thrown by Atlanta starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz during the second inning of the Royals’ eventual 5-0 loss Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals’ Gee outpitched Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Dillon Gee pitched well in his first Kansas City Royals start. Mike Foltynewicz, however, pitched better for Atlanta.

Foltynewicz threw a career-high eight scoreless innings, Kelly Johnson and A.J. Pierzynski each drove in two runs, and the Braves beat the Royals 5-0 Saturday night.

Gee, who was making his first start since June 14 while with the New York Mets, held the Braves scoreless the first five innings, while limiting them to three hits — two in the infield.

Gee, however, ran into trouble in a three-run sixth, which was highlighted by Johnson’s tworun opposite-field double with two strikes.

“That was a decent pitch,” Gee said. “I threw four curveballs in a row.

It needs to be a little bit better. It would have been better if it would have bounced. It stayed up just enough for him to serve it up into left field. It was a perfect spot for him to hit it. It’s frustrating, too.”

Johnson’s double finished Gee’s night.

“Johnson with the bloop hit to left, but outside of that I just thought he threw the ball really, really well,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Gee, who was primarily a starter with the Mets, had a 2.61 ERA in seven appearances as the Royals’ long reliever. He started in the place of Chris Young, who is on the disabled list because of a right forearm strain.

“I was (accustomed to starting), but I was earning a role down in the bullpen and doing good down there,” Gee said.

“I got the opportunity to start, and we’ll just go from there.”

Foltynewicz (1-1) got his first victory since Aug. 8, holding the Royals to seven hits, while striking out four and walking none.

“He was that good,” Yost said. “He was throwing 94 to 96 mph twoseamers, a lot of run on it, mixed in timely sliders and curveballs.”

He has allowed two runs and 12 hits with no walks and 12 strikeouts in 15 innings in his past two starts.

“I attacked and let the defense do the work,” Foltynewicz said. “ The defense played their butt off.”

The Braves (9-26) avoided matching the

worst 35-game start in franchise history — 8-27, set by the 1911 Boston Braves.

Gee was charged with three runs and six hits, while striking out five and walking three in 51⁄3 innings.

“I just stopped locating the ball that last inning,” Gee said. “I left some pitches and they hit them, put good swings on them.”

The Royals, losers of 13 of 18, have not won consecutive games since April 21-22.

Foltynewicz came up with two big strikeouts in the first two innings to strand runners at third base. Kendrys Morales went down swinging in the first to leave Lorenzo Cain at third. Christian Colon struck out to end the second inning with Salvador Perez, who had doubled, at third base.

“We missed a couple of opportunities early,” Yost said.

Johnson’s oppositefield single with the bases loaded in the sixth scored Nick Markakis, who had walked, and Ender Inciarte, who doubled home Mallex Smith with the first run. Smith, who had three hits, led off the inning with a double.

Pierzynski’s two-out double in the eighth off Chien-Ming Wang drove in Johnson and Jeff Francoeur.

History awaits Raptors, Heat Miami (ap) — History is going to happen.

Either Toronto or Miami will become the 15th NBA team to win two Game 7s in the same postseason. The Raptors could go to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time. The Heat have a shot at being the first team ever to erase 3-2 deficits in consecutive playoff series.

And if that wasn’t enough, LeBron James awaits the winner in the East finals.

The stage is set, the stakes are super-high.

The final second-round

game of this year’s playoffs is this afternoon in Toronto, where the Raptors and Heat will play Game 7 and finally decide their back-andforth, black-and-blue series. The winner will join Golden State, Oklahoma City and Cleveland as the four teams left standing in the chase for the NBA championship.

“This is why we’re in this business, to be pushed and tested and challenged,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday. “There’s no greater challenge than a Game 7.”

The Heat fended off

elimination Friday, going with a super-small lineup and beating the Raptors 103-91 in Miami to force a winner-take-all game.

Miami won a Game 7 in the first round, topping Charlotte at home. Toronto also successfully defended home-court in a first-round Game 7, and this series has gone just as that one against Indiana did — Raptors lose at home, win at home, win on the road, lose on the road, win at home, lose on the road.

They hope history repeats itself one more time today.

Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows.

PAT KEHDE, FOUNDER OF THE RAVEN BOOK STORE, will work her last shift at the business on Saturday after 28 years.

A STORIED CAREER Founder of the Raven retiring after 28 years

By Joanna Hlavacek l Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

I

t was a date that would live in infamy — at least in Pat Kehde’s mind.

Most people might not be able to recall several years later the exact day another ubiquitous chain store rolled into their neighborhood, but Kehde, the founder and former co-owner of the Raven Book Store, has reason to remember Dec. 6, 1992.

“Well, it was the best day we ever had,” Kehde says, referring to the opening of the now-shuttered Borders at 700 New Hampshire St. Journal-World archives indicate that Kehde was actually about five years off — the store opened to much fanfare on Dec. 6, 1997, which she correctly remembers as a Saturday — but it’s still pretty impressive.

Prior to the big day, Kehde had launched a massive campaign to halt the superstore’s arrival in historic downtown Lawrence. Thousands of postcards printed and distributed

by Kehde and her volunteers, inscribed with messages from concerned citizens, were sent to the city commission in protest. Their efforts, of course, weren’t entirely successful, but did boost awareness — and sales.

“People came in by the droves to buy a book. They didn’t have to buy a book or want a book — they were going to buy a book” regardless, Kehde says of that blessed day in December 1997. “It was re-

“People came in (to the Raven) by the droves to buy a book (on Borders’ opening day in 1992). They didn’t have to buy a book or want a book — they were going to buy a book. It was really, really an amazing thing.”

—Pat Kehde, Raven Book Store founder

ally, really an amazing thing.”

After nearly 28 years in business, the “little bookstore that could,” as one JournalWorld article described the Raven on its 25th anniversary, is still going strong.

Defying expectations — lasting longer than the estimated five-year lifespan, surviving and ultimately triumphing over the big-box rival, maintaining a fiercely loyal clientele in the age of Amazon and ebooks — has been Kehde’s modus operandi for a long time now. It’s also her proudest achievement of a career that will end, officially this time, by the end of this month.

An open house with cake and beverages is on the books (pun intended) for 2 to 5 p.m.

Saturday. The celebration will take place during Kehde’s last

LISTENERS SIT FOR A READING on Sept. 5, 2013, at the Raven Book Store, 8 E. Seventh St. three-hour shift at the store, where she has worked parttime since handing the keys over to current owner Heidi Raak in 2008.

Kehde had planned to retire when she and co-founder Mary Lou Wright sold the place, but stayed on to help with Raak’s transition and then some.

“She doesn’t stop,” Wright says of her old friend (the two met more than 50 years ago as students at Scripps College) and business partner. “I don’t know if that’s a sign of brilliance, but it’s certainly some-

thing that I admire — people that keep going like that.”

At seventysomething, the former librarian (Kehde prefers not to reveal her age, citing concerns about competition on her tennis circuit) with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of mystery novels isn’t slowing down much, if at all. With her Saturdays suddenly free, Kehde plans on keeping busy with volunteer work at her church, knitting, tennis (naturally) and research for a rather ambitious chronicle of the history of downtown Lawrence

businesses.

Kehde believes the hippies who cultivated the area’s first funky boutiques in the 1970s fundamentally changed the nature of downtown, which she says resembled a “typical Kansas” main street before emerging as the dynamic city center it is today.

“I like to think that we’re kind of in the tradition of that even though we came 10 years after that,” Kehde says of the Raven, which she opened with Wright in September 1987.

FILM REVIEW

Raven CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

At the time, she recalls, the 600 block of nearby Massachusetts Street wasn’t much. But in the 16-month period surrounding the Raven’s arrival, Free State Brewing Co. had also opened for business.

So too had Liberty Hall’s video store and its renovated theater, which had previously been a “trash heap.”

That stretch of downtown was dead, she recalls, and “now everything’s happening here.”

Kehde’s most meaningful reads Jane Austen’s “Emma” Pat says: “Elegant language, witty dialogue, delightful characters and plot, great insights into human nature. It is the best.”

Winston Churchill’s “The Second World War” (6 volumes) Pat says: “I picked up the second volume when I was a teenager and was blown away by the use of the English language, so rich and so vivid and so clear. It started a lifelong interest in World War II.” Dorothy L. Sayers’ “Murder Must Advertise” Pat says: “All Sayers’ mysteries are wonderful and it was hard to pick one.

But this one not only has the dazzling Lord Peter dressed in a harlequin suit diving off a high fountain into a pool of water, it has one of the clearest condemnations against the culture of advertising and consumerism that I know of.” in the steadfastness of Kehde’s regulars.

A lot of those people, “life being what is,” have since passed on, Kehde acknowledges. Recently, she was flipping through a photo album of the store’s 20th anniversary celebration when Wright told her to stop and spare herself the heartache. Too many familiar faces, now gone.

“And that’s the way it is in life. They get older and they die,” Kehde admits. “So it’s good to have Heidi getting new, young people in.”

Still, there’s been more joy than tragedy in Kehde’s tenure. In two more years, the Raven will turn 30, and she plans on being there. “I think we should have another big party,” she

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ “The Yearling” Pat says: “My seventhgrade teacher read this aloud to us, and the Florida piney wilderness was so real to me. Later in life I got to go to (Rawlings’) cabin in rural Florida and it looked just like I imagined.”

Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” Pat says: “I re-read this recently and I was surprised by how absolutely brilliant it is.

The characters of Huck and Jim are without equal. The last chapter is problematic, but you can just stop reading before Tom enters the story.”

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “The Little House in the Big Woods” Pat says: “The whole series of ‘Little House’ books is enthralling to me. She creates such a complete world and one that I still like to visit.” says to Raak, though it is more an instruction than a suggestion.

“I told Heidi when she first bought the store, ‘Heidi, I love to come to work every day.’ And I think that’s very true,” Kehde says. “When you own your own small business, you do everything from cleaning the toilet to cleaning the cat box to ordering the books to talking to New York publishers.

You can’t imagine how much work it is, but it’s a lot of fun, too.”

“I think that if you enjoy it,” she adds, “then other people probably enjoy it, too.”

Family doesn’t have to lose touch with nanny Dear Annie: Last weekend, my youngest daughter got her driver’s license. She is now able to take herself places, thus dissolving the role of our nanny, ‘’Maria.’’

Maria has been part of our family for 20 years, since my oldest child was 3 months old.

My youngest daughter has known her for her entire life. Maria has picked up my daughter from school every day, taken her to sports and activities, organized the house, started dinner and cleaned once a week.

Both Maria and my daughter have known that this day was coming, but I can tell that my daughter is upset and sad. Maria has had a tough life. Her husband was killed right in front of her. She had to leave her four children

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

and come to this country for work.

Obviously, this whole thing makes me very emotional. Maria is now 60 and has spent a third of her life looking after my children.

We would love for her to stay, but my daughter clearly doesn’t need anyone watching over her and we cannot justify the cost of keeping Maria with us. I know nothing is forever, but can you help with this?

— Missing Her

‘Veep’ takes a darkly comic turn It’s hard for a comedy steeped in the “nothing sacred” tradition to top itself. “Veep” (9:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA) does so tonight, and no subject escapes desecration, be it the sanctity of life, country music, Eleanor Roosevelt and prayer itself. Not even Charlie Rose escapes unscathed.

Knee-deep in the complicated recount efforts arising from a virtually tied election, Selina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) receives news that her mother has suffered a stroke and is in intensive care.

The pitchblack comedy here lies in the gulf between Selina’s true feelings (loathing, resentment and indifference) and her need to appear grief-stricken for public consumption.

While clearly playing for slapstick laughs, “Veep” may emerge as the most prescient comedy of our current election season. After all, the race appears to be shaping up between a woman criticized for her lack of “authenticity” and a veteran of reality TV and decades of tabloid spin, where the illusion of the genuine is essential to the fakery.

O While we’re on the subject of the real and the illusionary, Homer Simpson will appear “live” in an “improv”-themed episode of “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

O Fans of “Melrose Place” and “Dynasty” star Heather Locklear can catch up with the actress in “The Game of Love” (6 p.m., UP). She plays Frankie, the estranged ex-wife of Jake (Lochlyn Munro), the thirdgeneration owner of a struggling Seattle basketball team.

His children, the fourth generation, would rather sell the franchise as an asset and hope to enlist mom in a hostile takeover of the aptly named Cougars.

Will Frankie and Jake’s spark rekindle? Or will the ungrateful kids with bookkeepers’ souls triumph over sentiment? If you have to ask ...

O Elizabeth McGovern (“Downton Abbey”) narrates “The Queen at 90” (7 p.m., Smithsonian), a documentary look at the life and reign of the United Kingdom’s monarch, Elizabeth II. Tonight’s other highlights

O Adam Arkin guest-stars as

Maxine’s dad on “The Carmichael Show” (8 p.m., NBC, TVPG).

O Identical twins set a high standard for their gourmet burger chain on “Undercover Boss” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Tensions mount as the destination nears on “Fear the Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC, TV-MA).

O Tyrion strikes a bargain on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

Dear Missing: All children eventually outgrow the need for a nanny, and over time, her absence will be easier to bear. If Maria is ready to return to her family, her ‘’retirement’’ may be comforting for all of you. But if Maria is looking for another job, you can help by extolling her virtues to neighborhood families with young children, or posting a recommendation on a nanny employment site or community bulletin board. You also don’t have to lose touch. Your daughters would probably love to have Maria visit occasionally, perhaps for a birthday party or family dinner. And please do something special for her last day, along with presenting her a farewell gift.

Dear Annie: I had to

write after reading the letter from Sabrina Ray Olaes about the antismoking Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

I smoked from the age of 13 until I was 40.

I made it, one day at a time. And sometimes just minutes at a time.

I found that if I kept my fingers busy, I didn’t smoke. So along with the nicotine patches, I’d find things to play with — rocks, pencils, nuts, whatever — while I was driving or watching TV. I’d keep these little things in the ashtray.

It’s been 24 years since I had a cigarette.

It’s still a fight, but it’s not as difficult now. — Charles

SHELF LIFE

NATURAL HISTORY

Geologist ties her heritage to race and the land

T

ake a few moments to trace your history.

Now trace the history of the place you call home. Following threads of memory, you’ll discern more than one version of your past. You probably have had more than one home, each of which has different versions of its own history. You have changed, places have changed, and as you dig you see that history itself is based on perceptions changing.

“The past is remembered and retold by desire,” says author and geologist Lauret Savoy in her sweeping new book “Trace,” in which she endeavors to discover untold parts of her heritage and, intriguingly, tie them to the American land.

A palimpsest of a colorful decaying leaf over a page of faded text on the cover drew me in, and the blurb by author Terry Tempest Williams clinched it.

Likewise, discernable through the gritty questing of Savoy’s story, one can see Williams’ “Refuge,” one of my favorite books, and even Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me” — for within Savoy runs the blood of Europeans, Africans and Native Americans,

and she examines racial oppression in the American landscape.

She begins as a child on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, where the geologist she would later become describes the layers of the land, including those of its “discovery” and exploration by Europeans.

Having stood on Point Sublime and being familiar with some of its history, I was immediately drawn in. Indeed, much of this small book rang familiar, for the author and I share more than a few places visited and books read. She even lives in Massachusetts’ Pioneer Valley, right down the road from where I once lived.

Amos A. Lawrence, namesake of my current home, came from Massachusetts. Historian Jonathan Earle has said of the man, “He made tons of money — Bill Gates kind of money,” thanks to Lawrence’s father running the

greatest mercantile house in the U.S., trading cotton goods.

A desire for a more complete history of this home, our city of Lawrence, must therefore recognize the hundreds of thousands of slaves of the American South whose lives and labor fueled the Lawrence family’s cotton fortune. Time and again, Lauret Savoy’s desire for re-remembering her own past teases apart neglected examples like this, from Washington, D.C., and South Carolina to Wisconsin and Arizona.

As a child in California, she says, she never knew race, but once she hit the Grand Canyon on her family’s move east it couldn’t be avoided. She was ignored and then short-changed when buying post cards at the National Park gift shop. In school she read history books full of “savage Indians in the way of Manifest Destiny, and Africans who thrived as slaves and by nature want to serve.”

She follows her family history

across North America, digging up more and more. Tribes relocated to what is now Oklahoma held enslaved African-Americans. What we think are Native tribal names were sometimes made up by Europeans — Ojibway, for example, rather than Anishinaabe.

Indeed, the very names on the land are fraught. She visits a South Carolina “Living History” plantation that essentially lives without the history of the slaves who worked it. In Arizona, where her mother served as an Army nurse, she peels apart shifting layers of Apache history, borderlands, and the Jim Crow experience of the U.S. Army’s Buffalo Soldiers.

It’s a stunning personal telling of what historian Patricia Nelson Limerick called “the legacy of conquest,” with another important layer: despite all she found, “one idea stood firm: The American land preceded hate.”

What refreshing words, with more than just a trace of wisdom.

I look forward to following more of Lauret Savoy’s explorations.

SHELF LIFE

A fascinating ‘Kennedy Wives’ chronicle

By John Reinan Associated Press

As the 20th century fades into memory, so does the Kennedy family. The children of Jack, Bobby and Teddy are old enough now to be grandparents themselves, and although a number of them followed their fathers i n t o p u b lic life, none have achieved anything like the prominence of that charismatic trio of brothers — and their ambitious family patriarch.

Yet there was much more to the Kennedy mystique than t h e doomed brothers. In “The Kennedy Wives,” newly issued in paperback, Amber Hunt and David Batcher look at the Kennedy dynasty through the eyes of the women who

were an essential part of its myth. Their glamour, intelligence, toughness — and ability to turn a blind eye to spousal misdeeds — were crucial factors in creating the image of a rollicking clan of happy political warriors.

Drawing exhaustively on published work and original research in the Kennedy archives, the authors crisply tell the tales of Rose, Jackie, Ethel, Joan and V i c k i , Ted’s second wife.

Wildly different in character, the five w o m e n nonetheless are bound by common threads of dutiful service, grace under pressure and devotion to family and faith.

Rose, Ethel and Vicki are forceful personalities who maintain their own identities and gleefully

trade sharp elbows with the men. Jackie and Joan, publicly dutiful, privately mourn the slow dissolution of their marriages as their husbands immerse themselves in affairs of state and sex.

The authors’ approach is journalistic rather than literary; there’s a rather relentless accumulation of facts, and precious little attempt to tie them all together in a grand theme. But that’s fine, in this reader’s eyes.

The authors consistently choose fascinating tidbits for their tale. For example, they chronicle Jackie’s early shock at her husband’s compulsive womanizing: “After the first year together, Jackie was wandering around looking like the survivor of an airplane crash,” according to a family friend.

Perhaps you’re interested enough in the Kennedy women to read the many books about, or written by, each one of them. If not, this single volume should satisfy any but the deepest curiosity.

LAWRENCE

By Rochelle Valverde | rvalverde@ljworld.com

Summer in Lawrence brings some of the biggest events of the year. Whether the spectacle is musicians in the park, cyclists on the streets or comedians on stage, the crowds gather. Here are some of the events filling the calendar this summer.

WHAT TO DO: LAWRENCE BUSKER FESTIVAL, MAY 27-29 At the annual Busker Festival, the usual downtown crowd is joined by street performers doing acrobatics, juggling fire or playing instruments.

Some of the highlights of the festival, now in its ninth year, include a contortionist comedian, a record holding pogo performer and a comedy juggling duet, said Richard Renner, Busker Festival coordinator.

The three-day event will feature more than 25 performing acts at six sites downtown. In addition to the various stunt-performing buskers, the festival will include stages dedicated to musicians, poets and magicians.

For those who want a more personal experience, organizers hold the Busker Ball on May 26. The ball includes a stage show with performances by this year’s visiting acts at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The show is followed by a meet-and-greet.

FREE STATE FESTIVAL, JUNE 20-25 The Lawrence Arts Center’s seventh annual Free State Festival will bring some big names to town. The six-day festival — covering the categories of ideas, film, music and art — will feature an array of panel discussions, feature films and shorts, music performances and art

installations.

Highlights of the festival will include a stand-up comedy performance by Maria Bamford, a talk with “Radiolab” founder and co-host Jad Abumrad, and a free outdoor concert downtown by hip-hop group Public Enemy.

Tickets to individual events can be

purchased as well as a movie pass or a VIP pass.

ST. JOHN CATHOLIC SCHOOL MEXICAN FIESTA, JUNE 24-25 Music, dancing and traditional Mexican food come together for St. John’s annual outdoor party. Now in its 36th year, the annual St. John’s School Mexican Fiesta is known for its tamales, burritos, tacos and enchiladas.

The family-friendly charity event draws thousands to St. John’s to partake in the two-night fiesta. Each evening features an array of authentic Mexican cuisine, live Tejano bands, Mariachis and traditional dancers.

Proceeds from the fiesta go toward a scholarship fund for post secondary education of Mexican youth in Lawrence and the Spanish language program at St. John’s.

GOFOURTH! FESTIVAL, JULY 4 The annual community celebration of July 4 is getting some upgrades this year.

The event will be moving from Watson to Burcham Park, located at Second and Indiana streets along the Kansas River.

Burcham Park will offer the event a bigger venue and allow for more activities. In addition to the fireworks show, activities will include live music, inflatable rides, carnival games, a car show and food and beverage vendors.

TOUR OF LAWRENCE, JULY 15-17 Two-wheeled traffic will take over the streets as hundreds of cyclists compete in the annual Tour of Lawrence.

For the eighth annual event, cyclists

LAWRENCE will test their speed and endurance in sprint and criterium races, as well a course winding over the hills of the Kansas University campus. The tour includes professional, amateur and youth categories, with cyclists competing for chances at $20,000 in cash prizes.

Friday evening will bring spectators lining the block downtown to watch cyclists push for their top speeds in the street sprints course. Live music, food and beverage vendors and kid’s activities will add to the night’s entertainment.

On Saturday, cyclists test their stamina and skills on the course at the KU campus. Racers then return to downtown on Sunday for the final event, the multi-lap criterium course looping several blocks.

DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIR, JULY 25-31 Attendees of all ages can find entertainment at the annual Douglas County Fair in Lawrence. The weeklong event includes a variety of musical performances, an antique tractor pull and a demolition derby.

And, of course, there will be carnival rides and games. Food vendors will also be on hand for fair favorites such as funnel cakes, corndogs and cotton candy.

For younger members of the family, there are the petting zoo and pony rides.

Concerts will be held in the evening on July 27, 28 and 30. The antique tractor pull will be the evening of July 28 and the demolition derby the evening of July 29.

KANSAS STATE FIDDLING AND PICKING CHAMPIONSHIPS, AUG. 28 The 36th annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships will bring the sound of banjos, guitars and fiddles back to South Park.

Dozens of musicians will compete in the championship across nine categories, such as youth fiddle, flat-pick guitar and ensemble folk singing.

In addition to the competitions, the event includes concerts throughout the weekend.

farm products.

With about 90 vendors, the Lawrence Farmers’ Market offers patrons a variety.

You can find fruits, vegetables and eggs as well as products like soaps, jams and baked goods.

If you can’t make it out Saturday, check out the Tuesday market from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lawrence Public Library Outdoor Plaza, 707 Vermont St. WHAT TO SEE: The Watkins Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St., preserves the history of Lawrence and Douglas County through exhibits and educational programs. The museum hosts a permanent exhibit on Douglas County’s free-state and Civil War past, including Quantrill’s 1863 guerrilla raid on Lawrence. The Watkins Building itself is a part of history. The building, completed in 1888, was originally a bank and afterwards served as City Hall.

The Kansas University Natural History Museum, 1345 Jayhawk Blvd., features four floors of public exhibits. After marveling at the 60-footlong mosasaur that hangs above the lobby, head to the museum’s historic Panorama.

BALDWIN CITY

By Elvyn Jones | ejones@theworldco.info

WHY GO THERE? Baldwin City’s history of welcoming visitors extends back to the earliest days of its settlement in southern Douglas County.

The city sits astride the Santa Fe Trail, a frontier freeway first traveled in 1824.

It was on the trail that the settlement of Palmyra sprang up on a watering hole with a hotel, harness shop, tavern, blacksmith and two doctors serving the needs of those making the long trip back and forth to New Mexico. A post office was recognized in 1857.

In 1858, a group of Methodist ministers meeting in Palmyra saw the need for a college in Kansas Territory, a decision that led to the founding of Baker University to the south of the settlement. When the Palmyra townsite shifted to near a new center of activity near the school, Baldwin City was born.

Visitors to Baldwin City today will find a city of about 4,500. Centuryold homes and the community’s signature maple trees line brick streets at its historic core while residential neighborhoods have sprung up beyond.

WHAT TO SEE THERE: The main downtown intersection of Eighth and High streets offers quick access to the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce Office, which is located in the Lumberyard Arts Center, 718 High St. There, visitors will find plentiful written materials on local attractions.

The downtown is home to Mexican and Chinese restaurants, a coffee and sandwich shop and the Baldwin Academy of Dance and Voice, which offers noon and evening sandwiches and salads. The Baker campus is a block to the north. There are additional shopping and dining opportunities on U.S. Highway 56.

The Lumberyard Arts Center has a regular rotation of arts shows in its gallery, open Tuesday through Saturday. The Lumberyard also sponsors monthly art walks, starting the third Friday in June and continuing through September. The evenings include musical entertainment, crafts and art vendors

and a special activity, such as a cupcake decorating contest, in the arts center.

The chamber will sponsor a June 18 daylong car show on downtown streets.

MAPLE LEAF FESTIVAL: Timed each year to coincide with the peak fall foliage displays of the city’s many maple trees the third full weekend of October, the Maple Leaf Festival annually draws more than 30,000 people. The big attraction in the Saturday and Sunday craft show that brings more than 300 vendors from as far away as New York. Other festival features include a parade, quilt show, carnival, musical entertainment and petting zoo.

LIVING TRANSPORTATION HISTORY: In 1867, the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Fort Gibson railroad pushed south from Lawrence to Ottawa. It provided a vital transportation link for decades before service ended in the late 1970s.

However, the section from Baldwin City’s old depot at 1515 High St. south to Norwood and Ottawa survives as the excursion nonprofit Midland Railway.

It has become one of Baldwin City’s biggest tourist attractions, drawing 24,000 visitors annually.

Three years ago, the Kansas Belle Dinner Train started offering rides on the Midland line. Passengers ride in reconditioned 1940s era passenger cars on Saturday and Sunday. Passengers have the choice of riding in cars in which the experience and scenery are the main attractions or those offering meals and entertainment. Ticket information and menus can be found at kansasbelle.com.

Midland Railway continues to offer Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday rides from the first weekend in May through October. No meals will be served, but Sunday passengers will be treated to free ice cream.

Ticket information can be found at midlandrailway.org.

THINGS TO DO WITH KIDS: Midland Railway’s biggest weekends are those when the full-sized facsimile

of Thomas the Tank Engine visits. This year Thomas will be joined by his friend Percy, a green saddle tank engine. The two engines will be in Baldwin City the weekends of June 3, 4 and 5 and June 10, 11 and 12. Again, ticket information can be found at midlandrailway.org.

EXPLORING THE PAST: The Black Jack Battlefield is 3 miles east of Baldwin City, just south of U.S. Highway 56 on East 2000 Road. Visitors can take self-guided walking tours of the battlefield, where the abolitionist forces of John Brown faced off against the proslavery militia of Henry Pate. A walk and talk will be available on the battle’s June 2 anniversary, beginning at the actual 4:45 a.m. start time of the battle.

Across the road from the battlefield, visitors can view deep ruts dug by wagons on the Santa Fe Trail.

Also of historical interest is the Quayle Bible Collection housed in Baker University’s Collins Library. The collection, pieced together by former Baker University President Bishop William Quayle, is probably best known for its two original King James Bibles

Photo Special to the Journal-World.

but contains other rare manuscripts, religious texts and artifacts that reflect Quayle’s wide interests. To make an appointment to view the collection, call 785-595-8414.

Also on the Baker campus is Osborne Chapel. Once located in Sproxton, England, the limestone chapel was disassembled, transferred and rebuilt in 1996 on the Baldwin City campus. The chapel is open to visitors most days the university is open and tours for 10 or more can be scheduled by calling 785594-4553.

Artifacts from Baldwin City, Methodist and Baker history can be viewed by appointment at the Old Castle Museum, 511 Fifth St. Near the building are reproductions of the old Palmyra general store and post office and Kibbee Cabin, in which the decision to found Baker was made. To make an appointment to tour the museum, call 785-594-8380.

A trolley ride leaving at 10:30 a.m.

KANSAS CITY

By Karen Dillon | kdillon@ljworld.com

WHY GO THERE? From adventures and outdoor exploration, to museums and festivals, theaters and art exhibits, to professional sports and good things to eat, there is always a reason to visit the Kansas City area.

This summer’s activity calendar is chock-full, with something happening every day.

WHAT TO DO: Summer is a time to be outdoors, so check out Kansas City’s adventure parks and outdoor recreational spots.

As for adventure parks, the area has Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, where you can buy two-day tickets and spend part of each day riding some of the best rides in the Midwest, enjoying waves or relaxing at a cabana.

Just west of Kansas City at the Legends, is Schlitterbahn Waterpark with Verrückt, the world’s tallest waterslide at 168 feet 7 inches, as well as other rides.

The Kansas City Zoo, founded more than 100 years ago on more than 200 acres, remains a favorite place to visit and includes animal exhibits from Africa, Australia and American farms.

Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead in Overland Park is also popular. The farm is on 20 acres and has a very hands on approach for its younger visitors.

Those interested in hiking and bicycling, check out Mill Creek Streamway, a linear park in western Johnson County

WHAT TO SEE: A visit to Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, built in 1933, finds some of America’s most beautiful paintings and artwork. Besides its art treasures indoors, the grounds include a sculpture garden, and a romp on the front lawn with the shuttlecocks is always recommended.

Just blocks away is the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, located in Kansas City’s 18th and Vine Historic Jazz District.

But the newest museum on the block is Prairie Fire in Overland Park. In its Great Hall is one of only three casts of the first Tyrannosaurus rex that was discovered.

SHAWNEE

By Sara Shepherd | sshepherd@ljworld.com

By Caroline Boyer | cboyer@theworldco.info WHY GO THERE Western Wyandotte County continues to provide a vast number of entertainment options right here in Kansas, and it might surprise you to learn that a number of them are located within the borders of this small city. You can catch a great outdoor concert, watch a marble being made, experience a day on the farm, take a trip back to the Renaissance, or soar through the treetops at the only zip line park in the Kansas City area.

WHAT’S NEW After celebrating its 50th anniversary last year, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame is injecting some new energy into its programs and grounds.

THINGS TO DO WITH THE KIDS Moon Marble Co. near downtown Bonner Springs is perfect for the young and young at heart, with games and nostalgic, traditional toys in addition to the marbles noted in its name. Artisan and owner Bruce Breslow frequently demonstrates his marble-making talents.

DID YOU KNOW? Bonner Springs was the site of the first European trading post in Kansas.

The Chouteau family established the post, known as Four Houses, in 1812. The name changed to Tiblow in reference to Henry Tiblow, a Delaware Indian who operated a ferry crossing the Kansas River, before the town was finally dubbed Bonner Springs in the 1880s.

HISTORY, HEROES AND HOME RUNS!

he story of the Negro Leagues is one of courageous athletes who forged a glorious history during the midst of an inglorious era of American segregation. Their passion for baseball would not only change the game, but America too!

And, it’s all chronicled at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), America’s home for Negro Leagues history.

Great athletes. Colorful characters. Their stories come to life at the NLBM. There’s “Cool Papa” Bell, still believed to be the fastest man to ever play the game. He could circle the bases in 12 seconds. Or, the legendary Satchel Paige, who in 1948 became the oldest rookie in Major League Baseball history at the tender age of 42. Or was it 52? Only Satch knew…and he never told!

So much history. So many heroes! Experience it for yourself.

Bring the entire family to visit the NLBM!

TOPEKA

By Peter Hancock | phancock@ljworld.com

WHY GO THERE: The capital city is always a fascinating place to visit, but this year there will be more to see and do than ever before. After years of planning and construction, Topeka will celebrate the grand reopening of a redesigned Kansas Avenue, the city’s main downtown thoroughfare. It now features sculptures and other kinds of public art commemorating the history of the city and state, “pocket parks” that host performances and street musicians, along with many new and interesting dining and entertainment establishments. The North Topeka art district, known as NOTO, is full of galleries and studios that feature the work of local artists. The city also boasts numerous parks that offer fun and recreation for the entire family. And of course there’s the newly renovated Statehouse itself that is not only the seat of state government, but also a public museum to the rich history of the state of Kansas.

WHAT TO DO THERE: Whether you enjoy a day at the museum, a night on the town, strolling through the park or competing in Olympic-style athletic events, Topeka has something to offer almost everyone.

For families with children, Gage Park features the World Famous Topeka Zoo. It also has a minitrain that takes visitors

around the entire 160-acre park, a carousel and a spectacular rose garden.

Also popular is Lake Shawnee, which offers fishing, boating and a swimming beach, along with a public golf course and the Ted Ensley Gardens.

History buffs will enjoy the Ritchie House at 1116-1118 SE Madison, which was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Nearby is the Brown vs. Board of Education National Historic Site that celebrates the civil rights movement in Kansas. The Kansas History Museum, west of Sixth and Wanamaker, houses many exhibits from the state’s past, along with the official state archives.

And the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field honors the military traditions of Kansas and the nation.

The Mulvane Art Museum at 17th and Jewell on the Washburn University campus, and the Alice Sabatini Art Gallery in the Topeka-Shawnee County Public Library, 1515 SW 10th Ave., are two of the most popular art galleries in the city. The NOTO Arts District also hosts a monthly First Friday art walk.

Adults who want to enjoy a night out can find concerts and entertainment throughout the city at places like the Topeka Performing Arts Center, 214 SE Eighth St., and the White Concert Hall, 1700 College Ave., at Washburn University.

The newly renovated Statehouse in Topeka.

THINGS YOU MUST SEE: The Kansas Statehouse tops everyone’s must-see list. Guided tours are available on weekdays in the summer. Make sure to see the renovated, ornate House and Senate chambers on the third floor and the famous John Brown mural by John Steuart Curry on the second floor. And if you’re in good physical shape, ask the tour guides to take you up the stairs to the inside portion of the Statehouse dome. Another historic oddity to notice is the sledge hammer used to break down the doors of the House chamber during the Legislative War of 1893.

Within a few blocks of the Statehouse are two of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the area, Grace Episcopal Cathedral, 701 SW Eighth St., and Topeka High School, 800 SW 10th St. Other must-see attractions include the Great Overland Station in North Topeka; Old Prairie Town at Ward-Meade Park; and the Charles Curtis House Museum, home of the Topeka native who served as vice president of the United States under President Herbert Hoover.

THINGS TO DO WITH KIDS: The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center in Gage Park is a new and popular attraction. It offers children a fun place to explore, create and discover on their own, and it features hands-on exhibits, camps, daily programs and field trips, as well as a venue for special events such as birthday parties.

A tropical rain forest exhibit, housed within a geodesic dome, is one of the

MANHATTAN

By Elvyn Jones | ejones@ljworld.com

WHY GO THERE? Manhattan is home to Kansas State University and is nestled in the Kansas Flint Hills. The state’s largest reservoir, Tuttle Creek Lake, is 4 miles to the northeast.

K-State’s presence shaped the community. Aggieville, a student shopping/entertainment center sprung up immediately to the southeast of the university and now covers about five square blocks. Visitors will find other shopping and entertainment opportunities in the historic downtown near the city’s eastern and southern gateways.

WHAT TO DO THERE: Manhattan is in the Flint Hills, a rugged terrain formed by erosion and shaped, in part, by the presence of the Nemaha Mountain range buried below

the surface.

The city and area offer various ways to enjoy and learn about the Flint Hills.

One, the Flint Hills Discovery Center, 315 S. Third St., announces itself to visitors at the city’s main gateway off Kansas Highway 177, which links Manhattan to Interstate 70 about 9 miles to the south.

The Flint Hiss Discovery Center in Manhattan offers two floors of exhibits dedicated to the Flint Hills tall-grass prairie ecosystem and a rooftop garden that provides a view of the city and Kansas River valley.

The Discovery Center opened in April 2012 with the mission of inspiring people to care, explore and celebrate the Flint Hills tall-grass prairie ecosystem.

It has public access areas, including a ground-floor information center on Flint Hills attractions and a rooftop

FOR THE KIDS: If the dinosaur exhibit at the Flint Hills Discovery Center doesn’t quench the young ones’ thirst for things wild, a trip to Sunset Zoo might be in order.

On display is a menagerie of animals, including chimpanzees, red pandas, a large prairie dog town, caimans, black swans and much more. Ticket information and directions can be found at sunsetzoo.com.

The sites include Custer House, a set of officers’ quarters dating to the 1850s and named for George Armstrong Custer, who lived there with his wife while serving with the Seventh Cavalry; the United States Cavalry Museum and Vehicle Display; and the Fort Riley U.S. 1st Infantry Division Museum, which tells of the “Big Red 1” from 1917 to present.

SOUTHEAST KS

By Nikki Wentling | nwentling@ljworld.com

WHY GO THERE: Southeast Kansas may not sound like a destination vacation. But, as someone who’s ventured to that corner of the state for an annual outhouse festival in the “world’s largest living ghost town,” I can attest: It’s a place worth experiencing.

That section of Kansas includes five lakes and more than a dozen towns worth visiting, according to the “Discover a Different Kansas” group, dedicated to Southeast Kansas travel.

We’ll highlight a few spots, including Chanute — which lies at the heart of the region — and its Safari Museum; a 13-mile section of the “Mother Road,” Route 66; and a 16-stories tall electric shovel named “Big Brutus.”

GETTING THERE: Traveling from Lawrence, you can head

south on U.S. Highway 59 and you’ll drive into Southeast Kansas within the hour. If you take U.S. 169 from 59, you’ll hit a few spots — Spanish-American War General Fred Funston’s boyhood home in Iola, a 12-site Civil War tour in Humboldt, and Chanute.

Fort Scott, the site of the nation’s first National Cemetery and a Civil War encampment — a National Historic Site — is east on U.S. 54. About 30 miles south on U.S. 69 is Pittsburg, which contains Lincoln Park, a park designed by the same man who designed Central Park in New York City. Big Brutus lies southwest of Pittsburg, near a little town called West Mineral.

SOUTHEAST KS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 making the journey part of the fun. Part of the “Main Street of America,” Route 66, cuts across the southeast corner of Kansas.

The 13-mile historic byway runs from Galena west to Riverton and then south to Baxter Springs and beyond to the KansasOklahoma border. Along the way, you’ll drive past the “rainbow bridge,” the only Marsh Arch Bridge remaining on Route 66. “Mater,” a character from the Pixar series “Cars,” was based off a tow truck along the route, in Galena.

Julie Roller, an economic development representative at the Kansas Department of Agriculture, said her favorite thing to do in Southeast Kansas is driving the stretch of highway and snagging a photo with the Route 66 road markings.

WHERE TO START: If you’re interested in keeping the visit short, Franklin County, just south of Douglas County, has enough sites to fill a day trip. While probably considered too northern for Southeast Kansas, you’ll have to drive through Franklin County to get to some of the other spots on our list.

While you’re there, Chris Campbell, owner of Chris’ Corner Quilt Shop just north of Ottawa, recommends a driving tour of Kansas barn quilts, the first of many barn quilt tours in the state. The trail comprises 40 barn quilts, (large, hand-painted wooden blocks) most of which are displayed on privately owned barns. If self-guided tours are your thing, there’s also the Franklin County Heritage Homes Tour, Freedom’s Frontier Heritage Tour and four historical tours of the counties of Franklin County.

SOUTHEAST KS buying some handmade fudge inside the Chanute Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain; and learning about soap-making at Summit Hill Gardens, located in a historic schoolhouse just south of Chanute off 160th Road.

Southwest of Ottawa off U.S. 35 is Williamsbug, home to Guy & Mae’s Tavern — listed by the Kansas Sampler Foundation as one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Cuisine. Campbell recommends the barbecued ribs, served up on newspaper and wrapped in tinfoil.

WHAT ELSE: A trip to Coffey County and West Mineral will take you into the far reaches of southern Kansas, if that’s your aim.

You’re missing out on a great photo opportunity if you’ve never stood in the mouth of a shovel capable of lifting 150 tons (equating to about three railroad cars) at once. The 1960s-era electric shovel was dedicated in the 1980s as a memorial to the mining history of Southeast Kansas.

With it being in the middle of a field off a rural road near West Mineral, a good 10 miles off U.S. 400, you’ll see this thing coming before you get there.

Brutus is in place and open all year round, but if you want an extra-special visit, it’s Summer Fest on Aug. 27 starting

WHERE NEXT: If you want to see the heart of Southeast Kansas, try Chanute. The Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum was the first of many recommendations from Jane Brophy, executive director of the Chanute Area Chamber of Commerce & Office of Tourism.

Lynn Bonney, a Southeast Kansas traveler from Emporia, said the museum was a “tribute to hometown girl Osa Leighty Johnson and her husband… They explored Africa and the South Seas with cameras and typewriters.”

Brophy also suggests a stop by the Chanute Art Gallery, which contains a core collection of more than 600 works;

at 7 p.m. The festival features polka music and dancing and will celebrate Brutus’ 29th year as a tourist destination.

Want a place to stay overnight? Joshua Nathan, who walked across Kansas to film a documentary currently in production, highly recommends The Smittle House in Columbus, not far from West Mineral.

“Not only is it a beautiful house, but there is a livable tree house with a private outdoor shower, and a castle in the backyard,” Nathan said. “It’s akin to stepping into a dream.”

Journeying as far south as you can without actually crossing into Oklahoma would take you to Coffeyville. Coffeyville City Manager Kendal Francis recommends exploring all things related to the Dalton Gang, a group of outlaws in the American Old West, most of whom were killed in Coffeyville during an attempted bank robbery.

Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville holds the remains of three members of the Dalton Gang, marked by an old hitching

post. The old Condon Bank building — one of the banks the gang tried to rob — still stands, as the Perkins Building. There’s also the Dalton Defenders’ Museum, which contains mementos of the raid.

Lastly, you can walk the same path taken by the Daltons in 1892, when they tried — and failed — to rob two banks simultaneously. Three members of the Dalton Gang were killed in Coffeyville’s “Death Alley,” and bullet holes are still visible on one brick wall there.

While in Coffey County, Brandon Hines, library administrator for the county, suggests visiting Burlington, the “Real Catfish Capital of the World.”

Hines sums up the sites: “The trophy is on display at the Coffey County Library, as well as a giant Flathead Catfish. The Coffey County History Museum has a 10-foot papier mache catfish on display and a mural about Sen. Ray Pierson’s fishing cabin along the Neosho. A mural is located on the east side of town by the city dam.”

That's when the "roar" of the Roaring Twenties came from a Ford Model AA truck and you could get a shave and a haircut for two bits! See the historic farmhouse and outbuildings and feed the chickens. Then move on to the town to visit Bousman’s Barber Shop, Yotz’s Typewriter Repair Shop, the Jail, Garrett’s Grocery Store, and the Undertaker’s Establishment. Finish up at our one room schoolhouse. There’s always something happening at Shawnee Town.

CENTRAL KS

By Conrad Swanson | cswanson@ljworld.com

What was once an inland sea has, over millions of years, transformed into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, sightseers, town hoppers, concert goers and sports fans.

Central Kansas is full of towns, both small and large that offer something for everybody, no matter the interest, said Ron Kaufman, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and Tourism.

“You can spend a lot of time learning about history or spend time in Hutchinson at the Cosmosphere learning about space. It goes from the past to the future,” Kaufman said. “And you can drive through the Flint Hills, which are elevated, or go to the salt mine, which is called Strataca, which goes 600 feet underground.”

Hutchinson - From Lawrence drive west on Interstate 70 to Salina, turn south on Interstate 135 towards McPherson then exit onto Kansas 61, which heads directly into Hutchinson.

Wichita - From Lawrence drive west on Interstate 70 to Topeka, turn onto Interstate 335 South and continue to Interstate 35, then take exit 50 onto U.S. 400 west, which heads to Wichita.

Abilene - From Lawrence drive west on Interstate 70 for around 115 miles.

The interstate leads directly to Abilene.

A few other Central Kansas towns to visit might include Strong City, Salina, Pratt, Great Bend, Lindsborg and Newton.

WHAT TO DO Hutchinson - Take a tour through an underground world of engineering marvels at the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, Strataca. The museum boasts a 650-foot drop down a mine shaft and a tram ride through the depths of the mine. Hard hats are mandatory through portions of the tour, but visitors may collect their own souvenir piece of salt.

Put your space suits on and take a trip to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. There you’ll find a gallery of newer and decades-old space artifacts, a digital dome theater for documentaries and adventure movies, a planetarium and a science lab with an interactive and

explosive show.

Wichita - Take a walk on the wild side at the Sedgwick County Zoo, which opens Memorial Day weekend.

This year the zoo will have a brand new exhibit, Elephants of the Zambezi River Valley, which boasts more than five acres of space, an indoor facility, a 550,000-gallon elephant pool, waterfall and water cannon.

Alongside the zoo, Wichita is home to dozens of museums, a variety of shopping districts and a number of festivals throughout the year. Two sports teams also reside in the town, the Wichita Force indoor football team and the Wichita Wingnuts baseball team.

Abilene - The Russell Stover Candies Factory and Outlet Store offers a wide variety of treats, including gourmet caramel apples, over 30 flavors of chocolates by the piece or by the pound, handmade fudge in 20 different flavors, a fully equipped espresso bar, nearly 50

flavors of jelly beans and more.

THINGS TO SEE The Flint Hills national Scenic Byway is a must-see of Central Kansas, Kaufman said. The entire drive offers unforgettable panoramas and a glimpse of what the wild frontier looked like.

In spring controlled burns cover the land, which is soon followed by a spectacular sprouting of green grass, Kaufman said.

“The Flint Hills are the result of erosion. A variety of streams and rivers cut through the floor of the old sea bed and created a number of canyons and

valleys,” he said.

“The Flint Hills National Scenic Byway runs from Council Grove down to Cassoday and through the heart of the Flint Hills. It’s a beautiful, beautiful drive and with the tallgrass prairie ecosystem it’s one of the last vestiges of tallgrass prairie in the country,” Kaufman added.

“You could go nuts if that’s what you’re interested in.”

Along the byway, near Strong City, rests the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, which offers an up close look at one of Kansas’s natural treasures, Kaufman said.

All throughout the central portion of the state are undiscovered outdoor adventures.

“There’s good driving and hiking, of course. The central part of the state is great for hunting and fishing,” Kaufman said. “You can spend several days in some of the communities. There are beautiful places to stay, wonderful bed and breakfasts, great hotels and, of course, we have campgrounds and cabins out at some of the lakes.”

Also, for outdoor lovers and birdwatchers, Cheyenne Bottoms in Barton County is a 41,000-acre basin that is a major byway for hundreds of birds known to inhabit Kansas and the rest of the country. Approximately 138 species breed and nest in the area, and around

70 species of birds live there year round.

FOR THE FAMILY Hutchinson - Between Sept. 9-18, Hutchinson will host the Kansas State Fair, featuring concerts, comic performances, a demolition derby, 4-H projects, food and more. The fair has been held in Hutchinson for more than a century. This year’s live entertainment guests include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gabriel Iglesias and Crowder.

Wichita - Between July 29 and Aug. 13, Wichita will host the National Baseball Congress World Series at the Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. The series is an organization of amateur and semiprofessional baseball leagues from both the United States and Canada. Over the course of the series more than 50 teams will compete.

Abilene - Abilene was home to the only 5-Star General who became president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Now the town commemorates the past president with the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home. There visitors may see enough historical records, papers, photographs, films and artifacts to last a lifetime. The museum is a tribute to Eisenhower’s childhood, military career and years of presidency.

WESTERN KS

By Joanna Hlavacek | jhlavacek@ljworld.com

DODGE CITY: WHY GO THERE? If you’re a history enthusiast or a film buff, this one’s a no-brainer.

Thanks to its rough-and-tumble past as an Old West frontier town, Dodge City has been immortalized in pop culture as the setting of the long-running “Gunsmoke” TV series and flicks such as “Dodge City” and “Wyatt Earp,” just to name a few. The international tourist destination (Dodge City is apparently popular with cowboy-crazy Germans and Brits, especially) has also become something of an entertainment hotspot, with the United Wireless Arena having attracted such acts as country band Rascal Flatts and comedian Jeff Foxworthy in recent months.

WHAT TO DO THERE: Step back in time with a trip to Dodge City’s Boot Hill Museum. There, visitors can stroll down a replica of Old West-era Front Street, where the famous Boot Hill Gunfighters face off every day during the summer months at noon and 7 p.m. The museum also boasts an old-timey photo parlor (open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Labor Day through Memorial Day), historic displays of artifacts from Dodge City’s early days, and an old-fashioned dinner theater that serves up comfort-food classics — and a family-friendly variety show — every evening at 6 during the summer.

SAVE THE DATE: An estimated 100,000 people get the heck into Dodge every year for 10 days of concerts, craft shows, rodeos and other festivities. Highlights for this year’s Dodge City Days, slated for July 28 through Aug. 7, include the Smokin’ Saddles barbecue competition, country recording artist Tracy Lawrence, the Dodge City Days Western Parade, Miss Rodeo Kansas pageant and a longhorn cattle drive through the streets of Dodge City led by “Gunsmoke” star Buck Taylor.

HAYS: WHY GO THERE? Home to Fort Hays State University, this charming college community offers a brick-paved gem of a downtown lined with shops, art galleries, entertainment venues and dining, including the award-

winning Gella’s Diner & Lb. Brewing Co., which Huffington Post in 2014 named “The One Thing You Must Do” in Kansas.

WHAT TO DO THERE: Those who harbor a fascination with flora and fauna will find no shortage of outdoorsy activities in Hays.

Take a stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Kansas State University Agricultural Resource Center, learn about crop production and animal husbandry on a guided tour of the Fort Hays State University Farm, or treat yourself to a much-deserved dose of cuteness (because you’re on vacation, and why not?) at the Blue Sky Miniature Horse Farm. Here, visitors can pet, feed and brush a tiny horsey friend, and also enjoy a buggy or carriage ride.

THINGS TO SEE: At Fort Hays State University’s

Sternberg Museum of Natural History, visitors can walk among semiautomated life-sized dinosaurs, a recreation of what Kansas was like 80 million years ago when the area was an inland sea, and live Great Plains critters in the Discovery Room. Be sure to check out the museum’s famous “fish-withina-fish” fossil.

SAVE THE DATE: Hays’ 22nd annual Wild West Festival will be held June 30 through July 4. Among the attractions: a fireworks display, craft booths, a fishing tournament, carnival, parade and plenty of live music. Country newcomers Maddie & Tae (the duo have racked up CMT, Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music award nominations since the release of their debut album last year) headline this year’s event, which features mostly country and rock acts.

THINGS TO SEE: Take a stroll through Dodge City’s Trail of Fame. This walking tour of the Old Dodge City National Historic District is marked with bronze sidewalk medallions and statuary commemorating the city’s many famous and infamous residents — and a few of the Hollywood stars who have portrayed them in TV shows and movies over the years. Start your tour by picking up a map at the Dodge City Convention and Visitors Bureau Information Center. Free personal guided tours with Special U.S. Marshal Charlie Meade can be arranged by calling 620-253-9231 or 620-561-1925.

LECOMPTON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

Any visitor to Topeka or Lawrence should take time to check out Lecompton. Situated between Lawrence and Topeka just a few minutes north of the Kansas Turnpike, Lecompton is a small town with big history from the Bleeding Kansas period.

Lecompton once served as the territorial capital of Kansas, and leaders there almost succeeded in having Kansas admitted to the Union as a slave state. Learn more about the history by visiting Constitution Hall. The National Landmark is the site where the famous Lecompton Constitution was written.

The Lecompton Constitution sparked a national controversy over whether Kansas should enter the Union as a free or slave state, created bloodshed in Kansas, and historians agree the constitution played a major role in the election of President Lincoln.

Get more Civil War history by visiting the Territorial Capital Museum, an ornate building that once housed Lane University. The museum contains three floors of Civil War and Victorian artifacts.

Visitors should mark June 17-18 to visit the community’s annual Territorial Days. The event features rides and attractions, old time games, live muss, and food trucks and other vendors. This year the event will celebrate the 160th anniversary of Constitution Hall, and will include a re-enactment of the Battle of Fort Titus. — By Chad Lawhorn
