City budget draft reflects reduced funding levels ———

Housing, pedestrian initiatives would receive less money than requested Lawrence Pedestrian and Bicycle Issues Task Force recommended. “While these funding levels are below amounts suggested by community advocates for these initiatives, I believe that they represent a starting point to further these imMarkus portant issues in balance with the city’s current financial capacity,” Markus wrote in a memo to city commissioners Friday. Affordable housing would also get $300,000 in 2018 under the preliminary plan, and that would grow to $350,000 from 2019 through 2021. The money would come from the issuance of general obligation debt.

required meetings and paper-grading behind, he plans to continue sharing Yoknapatawpha County to future readers in a new way. Carothers, since 2011, is one of the Faulkner experts on the team creating the Digital Yoknapatawpha Project, an effort by scholars to build an encyclopedia of all the Yoknapatawpha novels’ characters and digitally map the invented county — inconsistencies between books included. He said the tool is hoped to be useful for scholars, teachers, students and independent readers of Faulkner alike. Please see CAROTHERS, page 2A

New population estimates from the Census Bureau report that Lawrence’s 2015 population stands at 93,917 people. That’s an increase of 1,250 people since 2014. That’s a growth rate of 1.3 percent, which was one of the top annual growth rates for any major city in the state. Of the communities with a

Town Talk

Lawrence’s affordable housing effort would receive $300,000 in 2017 and $450,000 would go toward bicycle and pedestrian improvements under city-drafted budget recommendations released Friday evening. Both initiatives are backed by groups that have been vying for funding in recent weeks, at the same time City Manager Tom Markus has warned the city is operating at a deficit and needs to cut spending. For affordable housing, the preliminary budget means getting $2.7 million less than what Justice Matters, a group of church congregations, requested through the city’s five-year capital improvement plan. The $450,000 for bicycle and pedestrian improvements is $550,000 less than what the

l $1.5 million is suggested in 2017 for the design of a new police headquarters, which Markus said would leave “all options on the table” for the City Commission’s consideration. “I am recommending that the City Commission have discussions in the near future about designating a site for the facility,” Markus wrote in the memo. In November 2014, Lawrence voters narrowly rejected a citywide sales tax to fund a $28 million police facility. Last summer, the City Commission reopened discussions about the growing need for a police headquarters. The drafted capital improvement plan shows the police department requested $30 million in 2018 for construction of a new headquarters. As it is now, the plan shows the project going unfunded. The $1.5 million for design costs would come from issuing general obligation debt, the plan shows. l The police department would also receive $274,518 for body cameras in 2017. In a memo to city commissioners last summer, Chief Tarik Khatib said that having officers wear

He was able to incorporate personal passions, most notably baseball, into his teaching as well. Carothers may be most famous for his popular course on baseball in literature (the sport is prominent in the work of Hemingway and Faulker, of course), which he taught off and on since 1974 and at times attracted classes of more than 150. Carothers said he also loved teaching Shakespeare, as well as freshmen. “I taught enough freshman English to have a degree in it. I liked it,” he said. “They’re fresh, as the word says, and they come in with lots of ambitions and impressions and ideas and notions.” Carothers’ KU experience also has been more varied than just teaching. He’s been active in faculty governance at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as the university level. He’s also been an administrator, including associate dean for humanities in CLAS from 1986 to 1997, acting director of the University Honors Program in 1995 to 1996 and interim associate provost for academic services from 2001 to 2003. “Generations of KU students, however, know and remember Jim Carothers best as a teacher and mentor,” KU English department colleague Robert Elliott wrote for a recent event honoring Carothers. “Many encountered him first as a genial commentator and instructor at Traditions Night during orientation week. Others came to know and appreciate him as a professor in an astonishing variety of English courses, some of which he pioneered.” Outside of academia, Carothers and his wife, Beverly, also built a life alongside Carothers’ 46 years at KU.

MELINDA HIPPLE HAS GRADUATED FROM BAKER UNIVERSITY two days before her 62nd birthday. She is also the house mother of Baker’s Zeta Chi fraternity.

“

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Melinda Hipple will celebrate her 62nd birthday Tuesday as a new college graduate with added confidence in her writing skills. Hipple was one of the Baker University undergraduates to receive degrees Sunday from Baker President Lynne Murray. It marked the end of her four-year quest to earn a degree in English with a focus on creative writing and a minor in art. Unlike many of her fellow members of the Class of 2016, Hipple’s life won’t change dramatically with the ceremony. She won’t be starting a new job or career, move from Baldwin City or pursue a master’s degree. Hipple will keep both her job and residence as house mother for Baker’s Zeta Chi Fraternity. She is anxious nonetheless to put her new degree, or at least the hard-earned knowledge behind it, to work. “I want to explore applying what I’ve learned to my writing,” she said. “I know I’ve improved. It will be interesting if editors think so, too.” She’s always had an interest in writing, particularly poetry and science fiction, Hipple said. She’s had a number of short stories and poems published and has authored

It’s a real pleasure as an instructor to learn from students. Because she was exploring so many complex ideas, I feel I benefitted from that as well.” — Joanne Janssen, Baker University professor three unpublished novels. “My first novel was a 150,000word epic,” she said of the science fiction work. “I actually got a hand-written note from an editor on that one. I thought it was nice an editor took the time to write a note with the form letter.” Hipple subsequently cut 35,000 words from the manuscript and plans to have another go at it with her studies completed. Her other manuscripts are a short mystery and another science fiction work. “The third book is about aliens blowing up Kansas City, starting with the Liberty Memorial,” she said with a smile. She didn’t start at Baker from scratch, Hipple said. She was able to dust off and transfer 30 of the 39 hours she earned four decades earlier at what is now Missouri State University as an art major. “I started right out of high school,” she said. “At that time, sending a

daughter to college was seen as a way of expanding the gene pool. Once I met my husband, I quit.” She first landed in Baldwin City when she and her now ex-husband moved to Kansas from Oregon. “He started working in Topeka, and I got a job in Kansas City,” she said. “Baldwin was a compromise place to live. We liked the idea of living in a smaller community.” Her awareness of Baker grew when her husband took a job at the school to start its environmental science program, Hipple said. The couple did move on, but she moved back to Baldwin City after her divorce “because it felt like home,” she said. She started working weekends at Kwik Shop, befriending many Baker students dropping in for munchies during her red-eye shift. Five years ago, Hipple took the Zeta Chi house mother position. Students at the convenience store and at the fraternity encouraged her to return to school and helped her take that leap without feeling out of place as one of the school’s few nontraditional full-time students. “I think because I had become friends with a lot of students at that point in time and because they were close to the age of my son, I felt pretty comfortable on Please see HIPPLE, page 5A

Village Co-op celebrates grand opening in Shawnee By Jennifer Bhargava Twitter: @ShawneeDispatch

Shawnee — When the ribbon was cut, the residents cheered. For many of them, the snap of the giant silver scissors was more than just a sign of a new building opening its doors. It was a promise of a new home. Tears were shed and smiles were wide at the grand opening of the Village Cooperative of Shawnee on Wednesday afternoon. The retirement community, located at 12830 Johnson Drive, is the first Village Cooperative in the Kansas City area. There is one set to be constructed in Lenexa this summer, with others planned for Lee’s Summit and Lawrence in the

future. The Lawrence facility is expected to open sometime next year. The senior cooperative development, designed for those 55 and over, runs on a unique structure where residents don’t rent but instead join a cooperative, buying a share in their apartment building. The $12 million community in Shawnee is already sold out. Members of the cooperative have choices of one- and two-bedroom living spaces that range from 900 to 1,600 square feet. Each living space is maintenance-free, per the cooperative, and has its own laundry room, storage area and private balcony. The development will be managed by an onsite resident services manager.

ON THE RECORD

Remains to be returned to tribes

Marriages

The Kansas State Historical Society plans to return human remains excavated from Native American burial sites in Kansas to two tribes. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the remains of two people dug up in Pottawatomie County were donated to the historical society in 1881 by a private collector. In the years since, the historical society has received Native American remains from other counties. Robert Hoard, a state archaeologist, wrote in April that the remains of 17 individuals and 148 burial objects belong to the Kaw Nation. He also determined remains of at least one person found in 1916 or 1917 in Atchison County belonged to the Kickapoo tribe.

Smith and her destination were singled out in U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder’s commencement address to the Baker Class of 2016. Yoder, who represents Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District that includes Johnson, Miami and Wyandotte counties, told the graduates their lives would be marked by their Baker experience. “As a student coming to Baker, you became a part of it,” he said. “When you leave, it will be a part of you.” The congressman also shared pointers with the students for their futures, telling them to embrace the support of family and

campus,” she said. “I’m pretty brazen. I actually felt pretty confident in my classes, except for French and algebra.” The house mother job worked out well, because it gave her time for school work and, on occasion, a handy study group, Hipple said. “They knew where to find me if something came up,” she said. “If I wasn’t at the house or in class, they knew they could usually find me in the library.” She didn’t let her age cheat her of a full college experience, taking an interterm class that visited Peru in January and took advantage of Baker’s relationships with the University of Evanville’s Harlaxton College in Grantham, England, to study one semester abroad.

Village Cooperative communities are developed by Real Estate Equities Development LLC, a Minnesota-based firm. They have grown in popularity in the Midwest over the past decade because they offer the benefit of homeownership without the hassle of maintenance, said Andrew Schaefer, of Real Estate Equities Development. Many of the residents who have already moved in completely agree. When his health took a turn for the worse, Wally Glanville and his wife, Carolyn, decided to seek a secure and affordable place to live. Maintaining their home, south of Shawnee Mission Northwest, was overwhelming for the couple. After looking at numerous options, the Shawnee

friends, find a mentor and understand the basic needs of showing up to work on time and ready to contribute. Yoder also urged them to remember who they were. Their Baker education and the values it instilled had prepared them to help renew American optimism, he said. “Some say somehow our best days are behind us,” he said. “But looking out across this room and seeing the future of our country, I’m more optimistic than ever. Read, study, civically engage, cooperate with others, tear down walls and help us rebuild the confidence and courage to make our country feel strong again.” In her remarks to the graduates, Murray also referred to the values shared with students of community service in “the oldest and best university in the state.” “Baker is small in size, but we dream big,” she said, noting the Class of 2016’s excellence in academics and athletics.

She and her classmates had grown a great deal since their parents dropped them off four years earlier in a town with one stop light, senior class president Kayla Paul told her fellow graduates. She predicted they would continue to grow and excel. After commencement, Michael Thomason, who graduated cum laude in exercise science, said he would soon start work in an Overland Park corporate fitness center, but planned to enroll in the fall of 2017 in a graduate occupational therapy program. A four-year member of the Baker football team, Thomason had a quick answer when asked what was the biggest takeaway from his undergraduate experience. “People,” he said. “All my buddies, my friends and teammates. I’ll stay in touch if they live here or far away. They are my Baker family.”

“What better place for an English major to take a Shakespeare class than in England?” she asked. Once again, she was able to fit in with the younger students, enjoying social times with them in the Harlaxton coffee shop, Hipple said. She struck up close friendships with a couple of art students with whom she went on excursions to the continent. “When you already have a place to stay, it’s not that expensive to travel in Europe,” she said. “We were able to go to Paris, Scotland and quite a bit around Italy.” She had the best of both worlds, Hipple said. In addition to her friendships with students, she accepted invitations to join instructors at social gatherings. At Baker, she developed close relationships with a number of instructors, which she is pleased she could maintain as she continues to live in

Baldwin City. One of those instructors, Baker University assistant professor of English Joanne Janssen, said Hipple brought such dedication to her classwork that “It’s a real pleasure as an instructor to learn from students,” she said. “Because she was exploring so many complex ideas, I feel I benefitted from that as well.” She will miss those kinds of classroom interactions, and may take a few classes of interest in the years ahead, Hipple said. As for other older adults considering starting or returning to college, her experience shows it’s never too late to take on new intellectual challenges, Hipple said. “Go for it,” she said. “It keeps you engaged, and it helps you stay young.”

couple realized the perfect fit was right under their noses. The Village Cooperative of Shawnee was close to their church and grocery stores, plus it allowed them to stay close to family. So far, the couple couldn’t be happier with their decision. “It’s a diverse group of people living here, but they’re the type you feel comfortable with because everyone seems very friendly and caring,” Wally Glanville said. “In an individual home, you could be there alone for days. Here, you see people all the time.” Several other couples echoed their sentiments. During the presentation, co-op members and longtime Shawnee residents Michael and Fran

Kernicky told the crowd they spent years looking for an appropriate senior living community. The concept of ownership is what intrigued them the most. Members Larry and Martha Schmitt admitted to the crowd they had searched as far as Texas and Arizona looking for a new home, before realizing Shawnee was the perfect location for them. “We love being social with other couples our own age,” Larry Schmitt said. “Now, we’re living in a building with dozens of other people who share our likes. We also have children and grandchildren living nearby.” The social benefits of living in a senior cooperative development are one of the biggest draws for many couples, said

Schaefer, who was project manager for the Village Cooperative of Shawnee. The community bonds people quickly. Residents travel together, go out for dinner, volunteer in the community, throw parties, and even have happy hours or poker nights, Schaefer said. The apartment building also offers several amenities. There is a secure underground parking garage with a car wash bay, a fitness room, a community room, a club room, a garden area, a courtyard with a gazebo, a guest suite and soon there will also be a woodworking shop. Nationwide, there are currently 24 Village Cooperatives either operating, under construction, or scheduled for construction in the next year.

in place. Currently, principals evaluate assistant principals and district administrators evaluate building principals, said Anna Stubblefield, director of human resources for the district. Stubblefield said that as part of the annual evaluation process, principals send out anonymous surveys to teachers at their schools. “The principals send out a survey to the staff and that survey has a wide variety of questions,” Stubblefield said. “… You can get a lot of insight from that.” Stubblefield said she thinks the surveys provide a channel for meaningful and protected feedback, but that adding the proposed language to the teacher contract could make the process more formal. In addition, Stubblefield said that while there is not a policy that deals specifically with teacher reprisal for feedback, she is not aware of any recent complaints. Reber said problems with teacher reprisal are not common, but they have heard of a few instances over the years and would like the contract to ensure a good environment for teachers to give feedback. “That sort of contract language, we don’t

negotiate that for reasonable people,” he said. “It’s for the every-once-in-awhile instances that arise — it’s helpful to have language like that in place.” This is not the first time that communication between teachers and administration has been a topic of discussion this school year. A survey done as part of the district’s superintendent search process indicated that some teachers don’t feel that the district’s administration values their input. In response, incoming superintendent Kyle Hayden is holding focus groups at all the district’s schools in an effort to improve communication and gather feedback from teachers, staff and students. Representatives with the teachers union and district have met five times this spring as part of teacher contract negotiations. Other proposals from the union have included increased plan time for elementary teachers, limits to teacher workdays and a raise in the base pay of all teachers. Negotiations will continue at 4:30 p.m. June 7 at district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

their building administrators. The proposed addition states, in part: “The district and the LEA agree that professionals should have the ability to give meaningful, constructive and protected feedback about the people who oversee them to the (board of education), without fear of reprisal.” The proposal would also guarantee the identity of teachers who give feedback about their building administrators, which includes principals and assistant principals, will only be revealed to district administrators. Reber said that though in most cases evaluations are working well, ensuring anonymity and protection from reprisal will encourage more honest input from teachers and meaningful evaluations. “Basically we just wanted some way for teachers’ input to be considered when administrators are evaluated, because part of their job is to make things work so that teachers can do their jobs,” Reber said. District leaders said a means for teachers to provide feedback is already

Be nice with coworker who sings along to radio Dear Annie: I work in an area where we are allowed to listen to the radio during work hours. This is great, as I enjoy the music. The problem is, one of our co-workers feels the need to loudly sing along to the songs. It is extremely annoying and also distracting. I am hoping this letter will be an eye-opener to all of those people who act like they are auditioning for a talent show at work. This is not the place. If you feel the need to sing, go to a karaoke bar. Even my earplugs can’t drown out her voice. Any suggestions? — Not Taylor Swift Dear Not: Have you spoken to your coworker about not singing?

Retro game show back on primetime Is old and familiar a programming strategy? Or a creative white flag? In the days since announcing its new shows for fall, CBS has aired a colorized “I Love Lucy” special, and tonight brings us “The Price Is Right Primetime Special — Survivor Edition” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG). “Survivor” castaways Natalie Anderson, Joe Anglim, Rupert Boneham, Jeremy Collins, Cirie Fields, Woo Hwang, Rob Mariano, Kelley Wentworth and Tina Wesson will compete against diehard fans of the daytime game show. I was a fan of Boneham when he first appeared on “Survivor.” But that was back in 2003. And even then, he seemed like a throwback to the 1970s. If we stopped watching “Survivor” 13 years ago, what would we have missed? For the record, new CBS series will include a Joel McHale comedy vehicle that feels very much like a retread of Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” Matt LeBlanc will star in a sitcom about a dad raising his kids that resembles the network comedies lampooned on LeBlanc’s Showtime series “Episodes.” Kevin James will pretty much play Kevin James, the guy he’s been playing since “King of Queens” debuted in 1998. Oh, and there’s a remake of “MacGyver.” Continuing the theme of trailblazing originality, “The Price Is Right” returns to prime time tomorrow night, with veterans of “Big Brother” trying to guess the price of a quart of milk. Or at least that’s what they used to do when “The Price Is Right” premiered with host Bob Barker in 1972. And even that was a remake of a show from 1956. I’m holding out for the cast of “Blue Bloods” to play along. Viewers searching for some sign of intelligent life on CBS should take note that a spin-off of “The Good Wife” starring Christine Baranski will arrive in the spring of 2017. But it won’t be “broadcast” on CBS. It will appear on CBS All-Access, the network’s subscription streaming service. And don’t touch that dial, “Price Is Right” fans! Stick around for the season finale of the remake of “The Odd Couple” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., CBS, TV14). Do you have any doubt that it will return for a third season? That’s right, with shows starring Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, the CBS schedule represents a partial cast reunion of “Friends” — the breakout comedy of 1994. Tonight’s other highlights

Strange’s outcasts descend on the dark city on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

Dear Annie: For the last 25 years, my brother’s wife, ‘’Ruby,’’ has been stealing my pain pills and whatever else she thinks she needs or can sell to her friends. At first, I was unaware of this.

Graduation congratulations High school graduation marks both an end and a big beginning for local students. We wish them well in their future endeavors.

t seems appropriate that high school and college graduations traditionally are held in the spring. The grass is growing again, flowers are blooming, and thousands of students are embarking on a new chapter of their lives. Kansas University and some area high schools already have held their graduation ceremonies, and commencement exercises are scheduled for Tuesday at Free State High School and Wednesday at Lawrence High School. It’s an exciting time. High school graduation, especially, is a rite of passage for young people. They can look around at their classmates and perhaps see at least a few people who have shared their educational lives for the last 12 years. During that time, they’ve grown from children to adolescents to young adults. Ready or not, they now will leave their school days behind and head off to new challenges. For most of them, some additional education probably is in their future. Some may go directly into the workforce, but many will pursue training certificates or college degrees that will launch their careers. Lots of decisions and changes lie ahead. There’s still a lot of growing up to do. Not every decision will be a good one. That’s life. You make mistakes, you learn, you move on and try to make better decisions next time. We hope all of our local high school graduates will look back fondly on their school years, the friends they made and the teachers who helped them learn and mature. Lawrence is proud of its schools. We hope they have given all of this year’s graduates a firm foundation on which to build successful a future for themselves and those they care about. As we said, it’s an exciting time. Make the best of it. Congratulations to our grads!

Nomination complaints ignore rules A persistent theme of Bernie Sanders’ insurgent Democratic campaign — and, until recently Donald Trump’s — is that the political system is rigged against outsiders like them who challenge the political establishment. Polls show most Americans agree. Trump’s gripes were essentially personal, stemming from his campaign’s failure to plan for the fact that each state had different rules and procedures. Sanders’ complaint is more generic, directed at party rules limiting participation in some states to registered Democrats and allocating 15 percent of the delegates to elected and party officials known as superdelegates. His diminishing chance of winning depends largely on persuading those super-

“

Both party’s nominating systems are messy, but two things are clear. The courts have ruled the parties themselves are entitled to set their nominating rules.” delegates to abandon their support of Hillary Clinton because many polls show him running better against Trump. He’s right that the Democratic rules give the party establishment extra clout. Democrats deliberately changed their system to grant their leading figures a role in picking their nominees, a reaction to their minimal role in the 1972 and 1980 nominating fights. That stemmed largely from the way Sen. George McGovern took advantage of new rules making the process more democratic and of opposition to the Vietnam War to win the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination. The new rules — which

he helped write — forced elected and party officials to take sides, and many lost delegate races backing his rivals or running on unsuccessful “favorite son” slates. Their absence from the convention exacerbated party divisions and contributed to McGovern’s weak showing. After another divisive primary fight between President Jimmy Carter and Sen. Edward Kennedy in 1980, party and elected officials vowed to regain a place in the nominating process without having to choose a candidate in advance. A party panel initially allotted 20 percent of the votes to superdelegates, but a compromise lowered it to 15 percent, where it’s generally stayed. All Democrats in the House, Senate and governorships are delegates, as are former party chairs, past congressional leaders and the 450 members of the Democratic National Committee. Republicans don’t have superdelegates, but guarantee seats to their 168 national committee members, about 6 percent of the total. Theoretically, superdelegates are supposed to provide an independent voice to exercise leadership in the nominating contest. They have rarely inserted themselves, but their inclusion ensures greater integration of the party’s presidential and

congressional campaigns and brought greater success, winning or coming close in six of eight presidential elections by nominating more broadly acceptable candidates than McGovern. Sanders’ problem is twofold. He probably won’t win a majority of elected delegates. And the years he spent as an independent, opposing both Democratic and Republican candidates in Vermont, have hampered his campaign for superdelegates. Over the years, he has done far less for Democratic candidates than Clinton. The Sanders forces have undercut their chances with aggressive social media campaigns, including some direct confrontations to persuade superdelegates to follow the popular vote. In Seattle, several were arrested after refusing to leave the office of Rep. Jim McDermott, a Clinton supporter from a strongly pro-Sanders district. In Nevada, the two sides clashed in a near-riot at the meeting to select delegates. Since Clinton will likely hold majorities of both elected and superdelegates, the Sanders forces face an uphill fight at the Democratic Convention if they try to change the rules to open all primaries to independents or reduce the future role of superdelegates. Leaders of both parties strongly believe

their own members should pick their nominees. The best the Sanders delegates might do is to force creation of yet another party commission to study these issues. Democrats love commissions. Unsurprisingly, the Sanders forces never mention that caucuses are somewhat undemocratic because they generally attract fewer voters than primaries, presumably because a majority of Sanders’ wins were in caucus states. Nebraska’s non-binding presidential primary last week, won by Clinton, drew more than double the voters than the earlier caucuses to pick delegates, which Sanders won. Meanwhile, the potential for Republican convention fights has diminished since Ted Cruz conceded the nomination. But GOP leaders in many states placed Trump foes on key convention committees. That could create conflict over party rules or platform positions. Both party’s nominating systems are messy, but two things are clear. The courts have ruled the parties themselves are entitled to set their nominating rules. And despite the grousing, both likely nominees this year are the candidates who got the most votes. — Carl P. Leubsdorf is a columnist for the Dallas Morning News.

‘Hamiliton’ offers lesson on liberty, power The popularity of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton” offers us all an opportunity to consider the wisdom of one of our most prolific Founding Fathers — while we wait in line for tickets. Alexander Hamilton, like the rest of our founders, provided the solution to dysfunctional, overreaching and costly government, long before it became dysfunctional, overreaching and costly. In a speech to the New York Ratifying Convention in 1788, Hamilton said: “Good constitutions are formed upon a comparison of the liberty of the individual with the strength of government: If the tone of either be too high, the other will be weakened too much. It is the happiest possible mode of conciliating these objects, to institute one branch peculiarly endowed with sensibility, another with knowledge and firmness. Through the opposition and mutual control of these bodies, the government will reach, in its regular operations, the perfect balance between liberty and power.” Isn’t this what is missing today, a perfect balance between liberty and power? None of the presidential candidates talks about liberty. Hillary Clinton is captive to the notion that big government, not individual liberty, is best. “Fighting for us” is her campaign slogan, as she seeks to out-promise — and outspend — Bernie

“

It is precisely because government has escaped its boundaries that we are in trouble — economically, politically and in virtually every other way.”

Sanders’ socialist proposals of free stuff for everyone and a 90 percent tax rate on high earners to feed the government beast. As for Donald Trump, who knows? James Madison, the principal author of the Constitution, wrote in Federalist 45: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.” Jefferson and Hamilton debated how strong the national government they were creating should be, but it is fair to say both would

be shocked at the monster it has become. It was Hamilton who reiterated the purpose of government, which Jefferson articulated in the Declaration of Independence, when he wrote in Federalist, no. 15, “Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.” Even a microwave dinner comes with instructions. When the instructions are followed it produces a satisfying meal. America comes with an “instruction book,” it’s called the Constitution. It is precisely because government has escaped its boundaries that we are in trouble — economically, politically and in virtually every other way. Coupled with a growing number of Americans who believe they are entitled to other people’s money and the fruits of their labor — instead of using their success as models for their own — the result is the equivalent of a burned microwave dinner. In that same 1788 speech, Hamilton addressed the necessary balance between the national government and the states: “The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will forever preclude

the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to every rule of political calculation.” That is no longer true. The federal government consistently overturns state laws that do not conform to its unconstitutional dictates, i.e., transgender bathroom laws, illegal immigration statutes, restrictions on abortions. It is one of many reasons why things are out of balance. The solution is simple. The founders gave it to us in the Constitution. If the federal government would return to its boundaries, which provide a safe harbor against excess, many of the problems we are facing would either be solved or well on their way to resolution. In the musical “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda, the author and star of the show, sings: “The ten-dollar, Founding Father without a father/got a lot farther by working a lot harder/by being a lot smarter/by being a self-starter.” Today, where does one hear in our political conversation anything about selfstarting? It’s all about the government and not about the individual. If we won’t learn from history, perhaps the musical can teach us. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

Russia, China pose military air threat Warplanes routinely buzz U.S. aircraft patrolling over international waters Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Chinese and Russian warplanes have been increasingly aggressive intercepting U.S. military aircraft and patrolling near America’s West Coast, prompting the Air Force’s top combat officer to label their provocations one of his top worries. Air Force Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle, who leads Air Combat Command, said in an interview with USA TODAY that meeting the challenge from the WASHINGTON

Russian and Chinese to flights in international airspace is essential but dangerous. “Our concern is a resurgent Russia and a very, very aggressive China,” Carlisle said. Both countries are intent on expanding their spheres of influence — Russia in Eastern Europe and the Pacific, with China focusing much of its effort over the disputed South China Sea. “Their intent is to get us not to be there,” Carlisle said. “So that the influence in those international spaces is controlled only by them. My belief is that we cannot

said, with fighters from Russia and China buzzing perilously close to U.S. military aircraft. On May 17, two Chinese fighter jets flew dangerously close to a

U.S. Navy patrol plane over the South China Sea. In late April, a Russian fighter pilot performed a “barrel roll” over the top of an Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance plane, Carlisle said, above the Black Sea. There has also been an uptick in long-range bomber activity from the Russians in Eastern Europe and extending to flights off the U.S. West Coast, Carlisle said. For China, the goal appears to be establishing control of the international airspace over the South China Sea. There are conflicting territorial claims among countries in the region, with China upping the ante by establishing military bases on artificial islands around the region.

allow that to happen. We have to continue to operate legally in international airspace and international waterways. We have to continue to call them out when they are being aggressive and unsafe.” The stakes are high. Aggressive intercepts of U.S. patrol planes run the risk of mid-air collisions that would escalate tensions among nuclear powers. “Any accident that occurs while the U.S. military is playing cat and mouse with Russian or Chinese forces could escalate into a real fight,” said Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute.

Ten years ago, a writer named Barack Obama recalled his fatigue with Baby Boomer politics, as epitomized by the battles in the 1990s between President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections: “I sometimes felt,” he wrote in

“The cultural civil war of the ’60s is still playing out in the presidential election.” Steven Gillon, historian

The Audacity of Hope, “as if I were watching the psychodrama of the Baby Boom generation — a tale rooted in old grudges and revenge plots hatched on a handful of college campuses long ago — played out on the national stage.” Two years later, Obama per-

sonally ended a 16-year Boomer lock on the presidency. His campaign emphasis on consensus, dialogue and pragmatism seemed to rebuke the Boomer tendencies personified by his predecessors, Clinton and George W. Bush. The San Jose Mercury News declared “the end of the baby boomer presidency.” Andrew Sullivan, a columnist two years Obama’s junior, voiced hope that the new president would move “past the debilitating, self-perpetuating family quarrel of the Baby Boom generation that has long engulfed us.” Next January, however, Obama

will almost certainly turn the White House over to Donald Trump (b. 1946) or Hillary Clinton (1947), two very different members of the very same generation. When it comes to political “psychodrama,” Boomers just won’t get off the stage. “It’s endless,” says Morley Winograd, co-author of Millennial Momentum: How a New Generation Is Remaking America. “Everybody wants to see the curtain come down.” Amen, says Jayne Clarkson, 26, a New York City v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Iraqis start offensive to run ISIL militants out of key city Fallujah residents told to seek shelter John Bacon USA TODAY

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi announced Sunday the start of military operations to retake the city of Fallujah, which has been controlled by Islamic State militants. In a televised address, al-Abadi said Iraqi forces are “approaching a moment of great victory” against the terror group, the Associated Press reported. Al-Abadi

reportedly was surrounded by top military commanders from the country’s elite counterterrorism forces as he made the announcement. Fallujah is about 40 miles west of Baghdad and has been under the control of the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, for more than two years. The government warned Fallujah residents earlier Sunday to prepare to flee the city or hang white flags outside their homes when the military began its offensive. Earlier, Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi had said the liberation of Fallujah would begin “in

the coming days” and asked residents to cooperate with security forces. Tanks and other military vehicles lined some streets outside the city Sunday, trying to create safe exit routes. The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq issued a report last month saying militants were killing residents attempting to leave the city. The report said residents face acute shortages of food and medicine, and that “humanitarian conditions are worsening and human suffering is increasing” in the city. Iraqi Special Forces, backed by coalition air support, recaptured the Anbar provincial capital of

Last week, Iraqi soldiers fighting alongside tribal forces and aided by air support from the U.S.led coalition reclaimed the town of Rutbah, which sits on the highway linking Syria with Jordan. Iraqi Brig. Gen. Abdul-Ameer al-Khazraji said militants, offered little resistance. Iraq has made consistent gains against the militants on the battlefield in recent months, although suicide bombings and other terror attacks have taken a brutal toll.

At Cannes, art, life defeat terrorism

British director Ken Loach celebrates on stage after being awarded the Palme d’Or for the film I, Daniel Blake during the closing ceremony of the 69th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France.

Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

CANNES , FRANCE

The Cannes International Film Festival presented its gala awards Sunday, with British director Ken Loach taking the top honors, the Palme d’Or, for his film I, Daniel Blake. But the Sunday celebration was more than a victory for Loach, the other award recipients or even the ambitious cinema that the revered festival has commemorated for the last 69 years. It was a victory for life itself over terrorism. Last Thursday, terrorism was suspected once again in horrific fashion when EgyptAir Flight 804 from Paris to Cairo mysteriously crashed with 66 people on board. An Egyptian official said the cause is more likely to be a terror attack than a technical problem, even as no group has claimed responsibility. But the seeds of terror in Cannes were already sown with November’s coordinated attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and the March suicide bombings in Belgium that took 32 victims’ lives. The logic for concern about the Cannes Film Festival was clear. Terrorists sought out innocent concert-goers to gun down in Paris, plus air travelers and subway riders in Brussels to send their vile message of hate. The sprawling Cannes festival, a source of national pride for the French and a beacon of Western artistic ideals to the rest of the world, would be the ultimate European target — with the world’s biggest stars taking nightly strolls down the famed Palais des Festivals red carpet. This fear was vividly enhanced in April with stark images of French security forces

simulating a terror attack on the Palais steps where George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling would walk just a month later at gala premieres to the sound of vibrant music. In the drill, there was only the sound of dull mock weapons fire as security and fake terrorists exchanged rounds, with participants eerily pretending to be victims who were shot and strewn on the steps. Just the day before the festival, a jarring alarm sounded twice in the Palais with a request to evacuate in what organizers called a drill. I had never seen a drill like this in all my years of covering Cannes. There was the usual excitement about the festival’s May 11 opening night with Woody Allen’s Café Society. But trepida-

tion was not far beneath the surface. Security was far more noticeable than in past years, with armed soldiers walking the streets right along with festival attendees and sun-drenched tourists. To walk the most glamorous red carpet in the world, each at-

tendee passed through a body wand exam and went through a thorough purse/bag check at the bottom of the Palais steps. The procedure was repeated at the top of the stairs before entering the theater. But the show went on. Directors from around the world displayed their best stuff. Festival-goers applauded, cheered and booed, as they traditionally do at this passionate festival. Glamorous stars walked to the top of the red carpet each night and were greeted grandly by festival director Thierry Fremaux. If they were nervous, it was behind gleaming, movie-star smiles. “Yes, there are threats in life all the time. But we’re not going to be afraid,” Clooney told me before the Cannes premiere of

his film Money Monster. “I understand that people are concerned and that the South of France is in particular an issue. France has been through it. And good for them for doing as much security as they have. “But we’re going to get through all of this together,” Clooney added. “And we’re going to do it by showing we’re not afraid. And that’s going to happen on the red carpet and with people walking down the streets of Paris and in Brussels. “Because the truth is, any other version of this means, they win.” They did not win. The Cannes Film Festival scored a lopsided victory. Alexander is a Los Angeles movie correspondent for USA TODAY who also covers the Cannes Film Festival.

Resentment of Baby Boomers crosses generations Candidates span three generations

production assistant: “I feel like it’s time for someone else to have a chance.” Even Boomers are sick of Boomers. Eight years ago, veteran St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan says, “it seemed the country was done with us. ... Why can’t we just go away?” The Baby Boom, which officially began Jan. 1, 1946, was “the single greatest demographic event in U.S. history,” according to Steven Gillon, the historian who wrote Boomer Nation. The generation’s 77 million members “wrapped our culture around itself like no generation before or since.” The Boomers were followed by Generation X, generally defined as those born from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, and the Millennials, born from the early ’80s to around 2000. Resentment of Boomers spans these successor generations. John Della Volpe is polling director at Harvard’s Institute of Politics: “Half of Millennials believe the American dream is dead. And who killed it? Their parents” — Boomers, whose stewardship of Congress, Wall Street and the news media is blamed for the decline in trust in those institutions. A year ago, Gen X seemed to have a shot at the White House, but the primary process winnowed out the younger candidates. Unless Bernie Sanders — born before Pearl Harbor as part of the “Silent Generation” (one that has yet to produce a president) — upsets Clinton, a Boomer will be president. If he/she wins a second term, it would end 32 years after Bill Clinton became the first Boomer president. Whether this represents a continuation of Boomer hegemony or a return to it depends on whether you view Obama (b. 1961) as Boomer or Xer. Demographers, who note birthrates rose to 1964, tend to view ’61 babies as Boomers; historians and sociologists, focused on culture, generally call them Xers. They say if you can’t remember the Kennedy assassination, you’re at most a “shadow Boomer” or “cusper.”

Obama is clearly an Xer in spirit, if nothing else. In his 2008 race against Clinton, for example, he accused her of “fighting some of the same fights since the ’60s.” ‘AT WAR WITH ITSELF’

Does the candidates’ generation suggest traits that could shape a presidency? Possibly the Boomer generation’s most striking characteristic is its own internal division. “It was always at war with itself,” Gillon says, “and the cultural civil war of the ’60s is still playing out in the presidential election.”

“My generation just keeps dropping the ball.” Michael A. Smith, Gen Xer, professor

That means more talk about social issues, which tend to defy compromise and make people mad. The irony is that Boomers, about 10,000 of whom turn 70 each day, are affected by other issues — the shortfall in retirement savings, the rising incidence of Alzheimer’s — that could get lost in the shuffle, says Ken Dychtwald, an expert on generational change. He sees in Trump’s promise not to touch Social Security the candidate’s attention to the sensitivities of fellow Boomers, and one reason why Trump prevailed over those who touted generational change but also promoted entitlement changes. For most

voters, a candidate’s generation is secondary or tertiary. Every generation has all sorts of different traits and tendencies. Those who look at the two leading presidential candidates through a generational lens see classic Boomer characteristics, even though neither fought in Vietnam or attended Woodstock. Clinton personifies female Boomers, whom Dychtwald calls “the most educated, powerful, accomplished, complex, outspoken and demanding women in history.” A 1964 GOP “Goldwater girl” who became a Vietnam protester and feminist, Clinton epitomizes the generation’s extreme shifts. Trump represents Boomer egocentrism, Dychtwald says: “He makes his own rules. He wants to impress.” He’s materialistic, brash and confident — classic Boomer traits, despite the popular image of Boomers as all about peace and love. Neil Howe, a prominent generational theorist, agrees: “Trump’s ego strength — ‘I can fill a stadium!’ — that’s all Boomer.” The Fourth Turning says Boomers have always been better at tearing things down than building them up, and this year, the Republican primary electorate “wanted a wrecking ball. Trump is perfect if you believe the system is so bad it shouldn’t tweaked or patched.” IT WAS NOT THEIR TIME

For Gen X, the election cycle started out hopefully. Although Boomers Clinton and Jeb Bush (b. 1953) were the

early Democratic and Republican front-runners, the GOP field included six candidates born after Obama. Four were unquestionably Xers — Scott Walker (b. 1967), Ted Cruz (1970) and Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio (1971). Rubio, who would have been the third-youngest president, played the generation card. He released a Web ad titled “This Election is a Generational Choice,” derided opponents’ ideas as not just wrong but “outdated” and used the phrase “21st century” at every turn — seven times in the debate Nov. 10 in Milwaukee. Cruz also boarded the bandwagon, saying, “Gen Xers, this is our time!” (The Boomers have not talked much about their generational affiliations, although Clinton admitted in one debate, “I come from the ’60s, a long time ago.”) In the end, the young Republicans — including Chris Christie (b. 1962) and Rand Paul (1963) — lost to a man who was born less than six months after the Boomer era began; who was the only major GOP candidate born before 1950; and who talked not so much about creating the future as recapturing past greatness. “My generation just keeps dropping the ball,” says Michael A. Smith, a Gen Xer who teaches at Emporia State University in Kansas. Xer candidates looked to Millennials, because this is the first presidential election in which people 18 to 29 account for roughly the same share of eligible

voters as Baby Boomers. But Boomers vote. In the last presidential election, 72% of people 65 and older cast ballots, compared with 45% of those 18 to 29. The survivors are Trump, 69, Clinton, 68, and Sanders, 74, who with his talk of revolution is, Dychtwald observes, “behaving most like a Boomer” and enjoys the biggest following among the youngest voters. It’s possible the Boomers’ reign is nowhere near over. Given their vast numbers, increased longevity and boundless self-confidence, Dychtwald says, “Boomers could conceivably be running for president for years to come.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

U.S., VIETNAM: ONCE ENEMIES IN WAR, NOW PARTNERS IN TRADE

Obama’s visit to underscore relationship with ex-foe that’s suspicious of China David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

A half-century ago, Vietnam War correspondents mocked the military’s overly optimistic news briefings by dubbing them the “Five O’clock Follies.” These days, the “Five O’clock Follies” is the name of another daily event in the city once known as Saigon: Happy hour at the Rex Hotel. “To me, what happened before belongs to history,” said Nguyen Tuan Thanh, 38, a senior supervisor at the hotel’s rooftop bar. “We are for the future.” That future is likely to include ever-closer ties between Vietnam and a former enemy combatant, HO CHI MINH CITY

the United States. President Obama arrived here Sunday for a trip that is focused on trade, but will also include talk of more commercial ties, military-to-military cooperation and a request that the United States drop its arms embargo against Vietnam. Obama is the third consecutive U.S. president to visit the communist nation. From the horrors of armed conflict to the profits of global commerce, the United States and Vietnam are forging a unique partnership that includes a massive proposed Asia-Pacific trade deal and mutual suspicions of China’s ambitions in the region. The U.S.-Vietnam relationship that began with the normalization of relations in 1995 “is poised to be elevated to a new level,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy na-

tional security adviser. Vietnam is the only communist member of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement among a dozen Asian and Pacific Rim nations that faces opposition in the U.S. Congress. Lawmakers — as well as 2016 presidential candidates in both parties — say the proposed trade deal will allow low-wage nations like Vietnam to import jobs from the United States. Obama and supporters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership say it will open markets for all members, a welcome prospect in increasingly entrepreneurial Vietnam. As honking motor bikes roared past, Ngoc Anh, 19, a first-year university student, said she is studying marketing and wants to someday sell clothes and shoes to

Americans. Both countries are looking past the war that changed the United States in ways too numerous to count. Amid the upheavals of the 1960s and ’70s, the conduct of the Vietnam War made Americans more suspicious of government and presidential power, stirring questions still being asked during the 2016 presidential campaign. “It was a huge blow to the sense of confidence we brought out of World War II,” said historian George C. Herring, author of America’s Longest War: The United States and Vietnam, 1950-1975. Decades ago, American leaders backed intervention in Vietnam’s civil war because they didn’t want to be accused of “losing” the country to communism the way previous politicians had been accused of “losing” China during

the 1940s. Today, U.S. leaders see Vietnam and its neighbors in Southeast Asia as a way to blunt the ambitions of a rising China, from its aggressive economic nationalism to military expansion into the South China Sea. Vietnam has had centuries-long suspicions of China. The approach to Vietnam is not without its critics. Human Rights Watch noted that Obama’s visit coincides with “staged elections,” continued imprisonment of political opponents, and crackdowns on peaceful protests. Rhodes said that Obama will “reaffirm his commitment to human rights and inclusive governance in Vietnam. ... There will be areas of difference, but we address those respectfully.”

Yemenis celebrate the 26th anniversary of the reunification of South and North Yemen in the capital Sana’a on Sunday. AUSTRIA PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF A PHOTO FINISH

Austria’s presidential runoff Sunday showed far-right candidate Norbert Hofer neck-andneck with independent Alexander Van der Bellen, with absentee ballots still to be counted possibly determining the winner. Both candidates were in a statistical dead heat with 50% each after all the direct votes were tallied, the Associated Press reported. Absentee ballots are to be counted by Monday. Van der Bellen, the former Green Party chief, was ahead by fewer than 3,000 votes. But with 4.48 million direct votes cast, the nearly 900,000 absentee ballots issued will likely decide who wins, the AP said. If Hofer wins, Austria would have its first right-wing president since World War II. Whoever wins, it will be the first time since the war that the presidency will be held by neither the left-leaning Social Democrats nor the conservative People’s Party. — Alexei Korolyov SUBMARINE JOINS SEARCH FOR EGYPTAIR WRECKAGE

Egypt was sending a submarine to help search for wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804, including the plane’s voice and data recorders, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced Sunday. The recorders are crucial be-

cause the data recorder will show how the Airbus A320 was operating, and the voice recorder will have what the pilots were saying before Thursday’s crash with 66 people on board. Egypt, as home of the airline and the crash site, is investigating the accident jointly with France, which is home to the plane’s manufacturer, Airbus. The Cairobound flight originated in Paris. — Bart Jansen ISRAEL DEFENSE CHIEF OUSTER CLEARS WAY FOR HARD-LINER

Israel’s defense minister officially stepped down Sunday, capping a turbulent week of politics that is expected to result in the replacement of the former military chief with an inexperienced hard-liner in the sensitive post. Moshe Yaalon’s departure cleared the way for Avigdor Lieberman, one of Israel’s most polarizing politicians, to take over as defense chief, the Associated Press reported. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week invited Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party into the government in a move meant to shore up his narrow majority. But Lieberman reportedly demanded the Defense Ministry as a condition, forcing Netanyahu to ask Yaalon to step aside. Yaalon announced his resignation Friday, saying the government has been taken over by “extremist and dangerous elements.”

Deaths, rescues mark weekend of peril for climbers at Everest ‘Big and risky’ effort airlifts woman with severe frostbite

John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

At least two climbers were missing Sunday on Mount Everest and three others were rescued on the same weekend that the world’s largest mountain claimed its first two fatalities of the climbing season, authorities said. Wangchu Sherpa, director of Trekking Camp Nepal, told the Himalayan Times that his team had lost track of four Indian climbers Saturday night. Sherpas rescued two people who were suffering from severe illness and snow blindness, he said. The third rescue involved the airlift of a woman who was descending the mountain with another team when she suffered severe frostbite, said Pemba Sherpa, manager at Seven Summit Treks. “It took a big and risky effort, but we were able to save her,” Pemba Sherpa told the Associated Press. Nepal mountaineering authorities said Sunday that dozens of climbers had taken ill on the mountain in recent days. On Friday night, a climber who reached the summit of Mount Everest died on the way down from ap-

parent altitude sickness, and a woman climber in his group died hours later. Eric Arnold, 35, a Dutchman from Rotterdam, had reached the summit on his fifth attempt just hours before his death. Early Saturday, Australian climber Maria Strydom, 34, who was trekking with her husband, died after losing her battle with altitude sickness, which occurs when a person cannot get enough oxygen from the thinner air at high altitudes. Family members, in consultation with mountaineers, will determine if the arduous task of reclaiming the bodies from the mountain will be attempted. When weather permits, Everest draws hundreds of climbers each year seeking its summit. Reaching it, however, is literally only half the battle. The climb down can be treacherous as exhausted climbers race the clock and sometimes weather to return to safe altitudes. Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest, known in Nepal as Sagarmāthā, in 1953. Since then, thousands of climbers have successfully reached its summit, but more than 200 climbers have died in the effort.

Seven Summit Treks manager Pemba Sherpa shows where a Dutch man and an Australian woman died at Camp 4 of Mount Everest. The two climbers apparently died because of altitude sickness on descent.

Chef goes whole hog as female butcher Larissa Popa holds a whole hog seam butchery workshop at Eastern Market in Detroit on May 16.

Mark Kurlyandchik Detroit Free Press

Larissa Popa is putting her hacksaw to use. But instead of a metal pipe or piece of wood, she is going to saw a half-carcass of a 304-pound heritage breed pig. Popa is leading a whole-hog butchery demonstration at Eastern Market’s Shed 5 in Detroit. Four participants have each paid $85 to learn to break down a pig carcass from the woman they call “the Meatstress.” Decked out in a denim apron and shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black and red polka dot headscarf a la Rosie the Riveter, Popa demonstrates how to cut through the sow. “Since she was an older pig, it’s going to be harder for me to bust through this area here so I’m going to have to saw through it,” she tells the crowd. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t track data on gender breakdown in the butchery business, but it’s no secret that the industry has long been dominated by men. But the Meatstress is part of a growing movement of female butchers across the country, joining the likes of Indianapolis’ Loreal (Butcher Babe) Gavin, a Season 10 finalist on “The Next Food Network Star,” and Chicago’s Kari Underly, author of The Art of Beef Cutting and demen in Indiana in 1930, said the piece was intended to get people to ask questions, The CourierNews reported.

PROTESTERS IN ATHENS BY ANGELOS TZORTZINIS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

GREEK PARLIAMENT PASSES BILL FOR EMERGENCY LOANS Greece’s parliament has passed an omnibus bill, which would raise tax rates and introduce more austerity measures, according to the Associated Press. It would also introduce a privatization fund that will manage nearly all state-owned real estate assets. The approval is one of several measures needed for the Eurogroup — the 19 finance ministers of European Union member-nations — to review Greece’s compliance with its third bailout program and free emergency loans that will allow the country to repay some debt and avoid default. SUMNER REDSTONE MAKES CHANGES TO HIS TRUST Sumner Redstone, the ailing 92-year-old media mogul who owns a controlling stake in Viacom Inc., has removed Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman and Viacom board member George Abrams from his trust, which manages his EPA business if he Dauman were to die. Dauman says the change in the trust, announced late Friday, was an attempt by Redstone’s daughter, Shari Redstone, to seize control of her father’s media empire. Shari Redstone, who is president of National Amusements, the privately held company that owns controlling stakes in Viacom and CBS Corp., is a member of Viacom and CBS’ boards. “These steps are invalid and illegal,” according to a statement by Dauman’s spokesman. “They are a shameful effort by Shari Redstone to seize control by unlawfully using her ailing father Sumner Redstone’s name and signature.” REPORT: ANTHEM, CIGNA FIGHT OVER MERGER Executives at Cigna Corp. and Anthem Inc. are fighting over the terms of their proposed $48 billion merger, “The Wall Street Journal” reported Sunday. Their quarrels, which involve Anthem’s handling of a lawsuit against a prescription-drug manager and submission of papers and records for federal agencies that are reviewing the deal, could delay or even quash approval from antitrust regulators, it said. Anthem sued Express Scripts Holding in March, charging the pharmaceutical-drug benefit manager of overcharging for drugs. Anthem and Cigna didn’t immediately respond to requests for comments.

As is the case with most of his policy stands, Donald Trump has spoken only generally about how Washington should treat energy production in the USA, expressing strong support for the oil, natural gas and coal industries and promising to cut funding for what he sees as excessive regulation. This week in North Dakota, the presumptive GOP nominee for president may reveal more about his views on domestic energy, and perhaps take another shot at Saudi Arabia, the leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Trump is scheduled to deliver a keynote address Thursday at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck to an audience of oil and gas operators whose drilling in the Bakken shale formation has made North Dakota the second-leading oilproducing state in the USA. Given the venue, it’s no surprise that Trump is likely to offer another full-throated endorsement of the resurgence in U.S. oil and gas production that has resulted from hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling in the

Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., helped introduce legislation that would authorize a commission to investigate OPEC. shale formations of North Dakota, Texas and other states over the past 10 years. What’s uncertain is what else he may have to offer producers, and whether he’ll call for measures to protect them from actions taken by Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members now that oil prices are in a two-year slump. One person who’s counting on him to do so is Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., a former state utility regulator, who has endorsed Trump and been enlisted as an informal energy adviser to the Trump campaign. Cramer, along with fellow Republican Trent Franks of Arizona and Democrat Collin Peterson of Minnesota, introduced legislation this year that would authorize a bipartisan commission to investigate OPEC for possible unfair trade practices.

“He and I have not talked about his position on the bill that I (co-sponsored) or on the forming of a commission or OPEC’s trading tactics, but we’ve all listened to him enough to know his America-first policy angle and emphasis, and it seems like it would fit with this,” Cramer said outside an energy conference in Washington last week. “This is a way to make sure that now that we have access to global markets that our competitors are playing by the same rules, or at least fair rules,” said Cramer, who supported a bill passed in 2015 that ended 40-year-old restrictions on U.S. oil exports. “We can’t change the fact that you can produce oil in the desert much cheaper than you can in the shale, but we shouldn’t put ourselves at a competitive disadvantage.” Cramer, a climate change skep-

tic, provided the Trump campaign with several pages of general ideas on energy policy, including suggestions for reductions in environmental regulations and new tax provisions that would treat all forms of energy evenly. Though Cramer insists he hasn’t drawn any conclusions, his work on the legislation demonstrates that he suspects efforts by Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members to protect their market share in the face of the prolonged oil-price slump, including pumping oil at record-high levels, are anti-competitive and warrant some sort of response from the U.S. government. The bill isn’t clear as to what actions might be taken by Washington, other than to say they would include “policy reform in the areas of taxes, trade, defense, and research and development, and diplomacy, among others.” Cramer said the mere introduction of the bill “sends an important message that you’re not going to get by with collusion or monopoly tactics.” President Obama has threatened to veto the legislation. This year, Trump told The New York Times editorial board he would be willing to cut off oil purchases from Saudi Arabia if the kingdom didn’t do more to support the war on the Islamic State. This week, Trump may offer more insight on what his “Make America Great Again” campaign means for world oil markets. Loveless is a veteran energy journalist and podcast host in Washington.

TRAVEL ASK THE CAPTAIN

Lower Manhattan’s boom draws business travelers

DC-10s are still flying, but in fewer numbers John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

AL BELLO, GETTY IMAGES

Visitors can now choose from among 5,688 rooms in New York City’s Lower Manhattan and another 3,105 are in the works. Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

In recent years, business travelers visiting New York City often made a beeline for Midtown. But the massive redevelopment that has transformed Lower Manhattan into a bustling cultural and business destination is leading a growing number of road warriors to stay, meet and socialize downtown. “It’s only natural that Lower Manhattan is becoming a destination of choice for business travelers,” Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance, Lower Manhattan’s business improvement district, said in an emailed statement. “We have an array of great new hotel options, a hot dining scene emerging, a retail revolution underway and many of New York City’s most iconic sights.” About 12.3 million business travelers visited New York City last year, a number that is expected to see a moderate uptick in 2016, according to NYC & Company, the city’s tourism organization. And many chose to stay south of Chambers Street. Booking.com says that in both 2015 and 2016 more than one in five of the business travel reservations made through their site were for a room in Lower Manhattan. The ability to stay downtown has greatly increased thanks to a hotel building boom over the last several years. Of the 27 hotels

AKA HOTELS

The AKA Wall Street in Lower Manhattan is scheduled to open in June and most of the bookings are corporate. currently in Lower Manhattan, only five existed prior to 2001, according to the Downtown Alliance. Visitors can now choose from among 5,688 rooms, and another 3,105 rooms are currently in the pipeline. “There were relatively few hotel options downtown so they didn’t have much choice,” Fred Dixon, President and CEO of NYC & Company says of business travelers. “The majority of hotel inventory was in Midtown and still is today. But there are more options downtown than ever.” Now, upscale shopping and restaurants abound. A new eatery from celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck will be featured at the new Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, which is set to open later this year.

“It’s only natural that Lower Manhattan is becoming a destination of choice for business travelers.” Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance,

One World Trade Center was unveiled in 2014, heralding the area’s rebirth after the 9/11 attacks. The ability to get to the outer boroughs as well as throughout Manhattan has been enhanced since the 2014 opening of the Fulton Center, where most of the subway lines converge. And New Jersey’s commuter trains got a new station in March with the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.

The corporate heartbeat of the area has also moved beyond Wall Street to embrace technology and media, with companies like Conde Nast and Time Inc., making Lower Manhattan their new base. Robert Rechtermann, general manager of the Conrad New York, which opened downtown in March 2012, has seen a uptick in both individual business travel guests and group meetings each of the last four years. And the hotel’s sales team actively pursues corporate trekkers. “The moment we hear of a company moving their offices or headquarters into the area ... we’re encouraging them to try Lower Manhattan,” he says. Christopher Kelly, co-founder and president of the meetings space provider Convene, opened a venue in Lower Manhattan in April 2013. “Downtown went from being a 9 to 5 business district to being a place that had tons of arts and culture and things to do,” Kelly says. “That created the draw for business travelers because now there’s character and culture downtown that never existed.” Extended-stay hotels, often favored by business travelers, are becoming more of a downtown presence. AKA Wall Street, for instance, is opening in June, and the bookings reflect “corporate business more so than our other ... locations in Manhattan,” AKA president Larry Korman says. “I would say in the first quarter, we had more people seeking information about that property than the other 10” in the AKA chain.

Q: Why do you think the early wide-body jets like the DC-10 and L-1011 did not become major factors in airline fleets? — Bob Hahn, Cocoa Beach, Fla. A: Cost and demand are the two most likely answers. Many airlines did not have the passenger traffic to justify the expense, special equipment and higher operating cost. As engine manufacturers created high thrust engines, the need for three engines decreased. Modern twinjets require two pilots; the DC-10 and L-1011 required three, making the crew cost higher. Q: Do they still have the DC-10? — Bob Allison, no location given A: There are some DC-10s still flying, but the number is small. The majority are in the fleet of FedEx Express, which flies a later version called the MD-10-30F. The last regularly scheduled passenger flight on the DC-10 came in 2014 on Bangladeshi carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines. Q: The old American Airlines DC-10s used to show live video of the runway during takeoff and landing. — John, Fort Mill, S.C. A: Yes, they did. I enjoyed the view too. Q: Do the companies that fly 747s and DC-10/MD-11s still have flight engineers or is it computerized? — Henry, Phoenix A: Some of the older airplanes, such as FedEx’s MD-10s, have been modernized and eliminated the flight engineer position, while others have kept the original configuration and require flight engineers. Q: Regarding your recent column on flying speeds, if I recall correctly, my airline cruised the DC-9s at Mach .78, the 727s at .80, the DC-10s at .85 and the 747s at .86. The 737s, I believe, were at .76. — Randy Sohn – KMSP A: I think your numbers are correct. I heard that the 747 cruised near .90 for some operators. Have a question about flying?

Stuck in a security line? Share a smile Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Are you ready for an endless wait this summer? I hope so. Airport security lines have never been longer, thanks to missteps by the Transportation Security Administration and its troubled PreCheck program, which lets selected passengers cut the line. To make matters worse, airlines are experiencing record demand. The lines at the airport, some several hours long, are likely to get worse as terminals swell with summer crowds. If you think the roads are any better, I’ve got more bad news: Highways will be busy, too — during peak times, gridlocked. Do we really have to wait for the horror stories of travelers who lose it after standing in a long line? We do not, but when it happens — and mark my words, it will — I’ll be here to report it. “We’ll need to be more patient and understanding,” San Diegobased etiquette expert Maryanne Parker says. Maybe this is the right time to review a few ground rules for waiting in a long line. What do you not do in a long line? If there’s a consensus ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Passengers at Chicago O’Hare wait to be screened May 16. among manners experts, it’s this: Don’t cut to the front of the line, don’t complain, and don’t get pushy. Inconsiderate behavior is a toxin that turns a crowd into a mob. “Being angry and upset visibly upsets the traveler, the agents and everyone else in their vicinity,” says Andrea Miller, a talent agent from Findlay, Ohio, and a frequent flier. “Yuck, that is no way to travel, especially when you can choose to respond respectfully and professionally.” The trick is preparation, says Sharvonique Fortune, the founder of a gaming convention based in Washington, who, as a frequent air traveler, has watched the lines lengthen. “The best thing to do is to come prepared to stand in a

long line,” she says. “Have something to keep you busy on hand, like a book to read. It helps a lot to distract yourself from counting the seconds because it can feel like an eternity if you have nothing to do.” Also, be polite. Extra polite. “It is never a good idea to lose your temper and blow your top,” says Karen Klopp, author of the book Packing for Travel. “It is not productive, and it is hazardous to your health. Be kind to others in line, since they’re feeling the same frustration as you.” Finally, don’t forget to pack a little patience. “Be nice and help people,” says Euan McGlashan, the co-founder of an Atlantabased hospitality management company. “Some people, especial-

ly the elderly, are not traveling every day or week and get confused. The TSA doesn’t usually care, but we should. It’s good for the soul.” You probably knew all that, right? But if history is a guide, good manners go out the window the moment summer vacation starts. It’s as if we suffer from collective amnesia (scroll back to last summer if you don’t believe me). Parker, the manners expert, witnessed the devolution of the flying public’s politeness on a recent flight from Paris to Los Angeles. A young man in a long customs line asked the passengers in front of him if he could jump ahead, since he had a flight in 20 minutes. Everyone agreed, except for one woman, who declared, “So what if he has a flight? I’m in a rush as well!” Parker says they narrowly avoided a scuffle. No word on whether either passenger made their flight. “Etiquette is becoming more important than ever,” says April Masini, a relationship expert based in New York. “TSA travel lines are snaking around corners, and family vacations are creating longer lines filled with kids who have less patience, in most cases, than adults.” Is it asking too much for air travelers to behave like adults in this, the summer of endless lines? We’re about to find out. Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler.

HOW TO CUT THE LINE (FOR A PRICE) u Go Clear. A service like Clear (clearme.com), which just announced a partnership with Delta Air Lines, can help you avoid long lines. Clear uses biometrics to verify your identity and costs about $15 per month. u Freebird. The flightrebooking service (getfreebird.com) helps you avoid waiting when your flight is canceled or significantly delayed, or you miss your connection. You pay between $19 and $34, and if your flight is canceled, Freebird automatically buys you a new ticket on another flight. You even get to keep your old ticket. u Get trusted. Although the TSA’s PreCheck program has received more than its share of criticism, other government “trusted traveler” programs such as Global Entry (cbp.gov/travel/ trusted-travelerprograms/global-entry) seem to be working well. They can help you cut the line at customs this summer, plus they give you access to PreCheck lines. See the program websites for costs.

eldom has a new season looked quite so old. At last week’s “upfronts,” TV networks unveiled their fall schedules for advertisers. Yet for all that hype about “new,” “exciting” and “original” series, it was hard to PREVIEW shake the feeling you ROBERT BIANCO were lost in the TV version of a used-car lot, filled to the brim with sequels, spinoffs and remakes. Movie transfers are particularly popular, with series reboots of Lethal Weapon and The Exorcist (Fox), Training Day (CBS), Taken (NBC), Time After Time (ABC) and Frequency (CW). As Jimmy Kimmel said at ABC’s presentation, “All your favorite VHS tapes are becoming shows!” If that wasn’t retro enough, next season you’re also getting a sequel to Romeo and Juliet, reworkings of The Wizard of Oz and Archie comics, and updates of MacGyver, Prison Break and 24. That’s almost enough to make NBC’s Chicago Justice, the fourth version of its franchise, look fresh by comparison. Almost. Some of those shows may turn out to be wonderful, but it’s too soon, and we’ve seen too little, to say. For now, some first impressions of the networks’ new offerings, based on the clips shown and the talent involved.

PURE GENIUS

Take a medical show and layer on top of it every technogizmo visual trick you can think of, and what do you get? In the preview, at least, two clichés for the price of one, all delivered with a rather remarkable lack of urgency. Is it too late to bring back Limitless?

DESIGNATED SURVIVOR Most Promising

THIS IS US

To be honest, it’s not quite clear exactly what This is Us is, as the clip was one of the upfront’s least informative. But because this drama about ordinary people who find they’re connected in odd ways is one of the few new shows about ordinary people, it wins NBC’s promising prize. Most Puzzling

TIMELESS

The most puzzling thing about NBC’s presentation was the decision to make it share the stage with sibling cable networks, reducing new shows to the toxicswamp level of E! and Bravo. Since that’s not a show, go with this time-travel drama, one of at least three making its way to the air next season. NO TOMORROW BY EDDY CHEN, CW; THE GREAT INDOORS BY CLIFF LIPSON, CBS; DESIGNATED SURVIVOR BY BOB D’AMICO, ABC; LETHAL WEAPON BY RICHARD FOREMAN JR, AMC; THIS IS US BY RON BATZDORF, NBC

LETHAL WEAPON

As you’ve heard, there are far too many big-screen transfers on the network schedules this fall. But this one, at least, seems to be better-cast than most. Damon Wayans Sr. and Rectify Clayne Crawford attempt to replace Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, which won’t be easy. But then, TV seldom is.

THE EXORCIST

Did I mention that there are too many big-screen transfers on the network schedules this fall?

ABC had the two most promising offerings of any network: When We Rise, a limited series about the gay-rights movement; and this drama starring Kiefer Sutherland as a cabinet officer who becomes president when higher-ranking officials are killed in a terrorist attack. Sutherland is one of our greatest TV stars, and it will be nice to see him in a role that casts him as a quiet, thoughtful family man who, one assumes, is never called upon to snap anyone’s neck with his legs.

AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE

I like Mike and Molly’s Katy Mixon, the star of this ABC comedy. And I understand the pressure a normal-size mom might feel when she’s surrounded by pencil-thin, seemingly perfect and obviously rich women in snooty Westport, Conn. But Mixon is not fat, and even if she were, you’d have to hope the trailer overstated the percentage of fat jokes.

‘Angry Birds’ soars past the superheroes ‘Neighbors 2’ knocks at 3 behind ‘Civil War’ Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

Furious fowl ruled the roost at the weekend box office. Moviegoers flocked to see The Angry Birds Movie, which took flight with $39 million and No. 1, according to studio estimates from comScore. The family comedy — an adaptation of the popular app game — scored the third-best animated debut of the year, behind Zootopia ($75.1 million) and Kung Fu Panda 3 ($41.3 million). It was enough to knock Captain America: Civil War from its perch to No. 2. Budgeted at $73 million, Angry Birds features the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Sean Penn, Maya Ru-

Despite ruffling a few feathers among critics (reviews were only 42% positive on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences embraced it slightly more (61% liked it). “It’s a rare bird,” says Paul Der-

garabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “The video game aspect is drawing that audience that knows the brand, but then there’s the crossover of family audiences who have really been drawn to PG-rated movies this year.”

Dropping to second place in its third week, Civil War muscled its way to $33.1 million, with a total of $347.4 million stateside and just over $1 billion worldwide. Opening at No. 3, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising brought down the house with a solid, if not spectacular, $21.8 million. With just OK reviews (61% positive), the film brought in less than half the business of its predecessor, which premiered with $49 million in May 2014 on its way to $150.2 million. Bringing up the rear, Shane Black’s The Nice Guys was welcomed with a better-than-expected $11.3 million in fourth place. Disney’s live-action The Jungle Book rounded out the top five with $11 million in fifth, swinging to a wild $327.5 million since opening last month. Final figures are expected Monday.

Bragg forecast quite bright A look at the statistical profiles of past highly recruited power forwards who played for Bill Self at Kansas University forecasts a season of significant improvement for sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr., who showed promise in limited action as a freshman. Bragg played fewer freshman minutes (338) than Darrell Arthur (721), Julian Wright (663), Marcus Morris (610), Markieff Morris (534) and Perry Ellis (503) and more minutes than Thomas Robinson (236). The wide disparity in playing makes comparing game averages misleading, which is why calculating a college basketball player’s production per 40 minutes has become a popular statistic. Since most starters play much closer to 30 than 40 minutes on average, I prefer to calculate production per 30 minutes. Based on that measure, the most typical improvement for the talented power forwards in their second season has been in scoring, and those gains can be traced to higher field-goal percentages. The aforementioned halfdozen Jayhawks, as a group, averaged 2.7 points per 30 minutes more in their second seasons, 0.5 more rebounds and actually averaged 0.1 assists fewer per 30 minutes. It’s not surprising that sophomores show the biggest gains in scoring and shooting accuracy. It speaks to the struggles that even talented freshman encounter making the adjustment to the speed of the game. Night in and night out they are guarded by older, quicker players than as high school superstars, and it results in freshmen hurrying shots even when not necessary. In time, the game slows down for them, and their field-goal percentages improve. Ellis, the Morris twins and Robinson all missed more field-goal attempts than they made as freshmen and all made far more than they missed as sophomores. Bragg shot .561 from the field, Wright .571 and Arthur .538 as freshmen. Provided Bragg can reduce his personal-foul frequency (5.4 per 30 minutes), he could earn about 30 minutes a game as the roster stands now. Based on

Defense key for FSHS By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

For the past two seasons, Free State High’s baseball team has been known for its dominant pitching. One of the biggest keys to its pitchers’ success is the defense behind them. All of the Free State hurlers are content with pitching to contact, knowing their defense won’t make many mistakes behind them. The Firebirds have only allowed 38 runs in 22 games this season, including seven shutouts. With a chance to defend their Class 6A state title, the Firebirds know they’ll need to stick to the same formula, opening against fifth-seeded Derby (17-5) at 1:15 p.m. Thursday in the first round of the state tournament at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark. “Defense is going to have to be a huge part of it,” senior Mikey Corbett said. “Our M.O. is pitching and defense and see if we can

BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Prep Young has two picks to make By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Trae Young averaged 33.4 points a game last season at Norman (Okla.) North High

Before he announces his college choice, blue-chip basketball prospect Trae Young still has to announce where he’ll be playing his senior year of high school. Young, a 6-foot-1 point guard who led Norman (Okla.) North High to a Class 6A state runner-up finish as a junior, has said for more than a year now he might play his senior sea-

son at a place like Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., or Montverde Academy in Orlando, Fla. “(I’ll probably decide) by the end of the month,” Kansas University recruiting target Young said Saturday at Lawrence Sports Pavilion after dishing 16 assists and scoring 17 points for MoKan Elite in a win over Michigan Threat. Those close to the team believe he has already decided to remain at Norman

North, where he averaged 33.4 points a game his junior season. He may be waiting to tell his hometown newspaper, which has had various updates on the situation. Young, the son of former Texas Tech standout Rayford Young, set an Oklahoma Class 6A record by scoring 60 points against Yukon last Feb. 15. He had 51 points versus El Reno and 50 versus Stillwater. His team went 24-4. Young — he is consider-

ing KU, Kentucky, Duke, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and others — has been pursued by KU a long time. In fact, the Oklahoman newspaper said KU was the first team outside of the state to start recruiting Young heavily. The Jayhawks reportedly have had somebody on the coaching staff at every one of MoKan’s games this spring — at least the ones Please see HOOPS, page 3C

KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASEBALL COACH RITCH PRICE FIRES UP THE JAYHAWKS prior to their game against Michigan in this photo from March Please see KEEGAN, page 3C 13, 2015, at Hoglund Ballpark.

For the second year in a row, Kansas University’s baseball team will be checking in uniforms and getting an early start to summer while the rest of the Big 12 Conference teams do battle this week in Oklahoma City for the conference crown. But that fact has not soured KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s opinion of the man in charge of the Kansas program. In an interview with the Journal-World this weekend, Zenger expressed confidence in coach Ritch

Price’s ability to lead the Jayhawks on the baseball diamond and said, without hesitation, that Price would return in 2017. “We’re committed to Ritch much in the same way that he is committed to us and this university,” Zenger told the Journal-World. Returning for his 15th season at Kansas puts Price in position to cash in on at least $400,000 in the next year. According to Zenger, Price’s haul more than likely will wind up being a $500,000 bonus, the amount of the retention payment outlined in Price’s contract, which Price will earn if he is

retained past June 30, 2017. The $400,000 figure would be the amount owed to Price if he were fired without cause before that date. Zenger said Price’s contract, initially written and signed by former KU AD Lew Perkins, continually rolls over and gives the veteran skipper a five-year deal at all times. Price’s buyout is $100,000 per completed year during each five-year retention term. Price’s base salary puts him in the bottom third among Big 12 baseball coaches, and Zenger said Please see PRICE, page 3C

KC can’t complete sweep Chicago (ap) — The Kansas City Royals fell just short of a sweep, despite an improved effort from Yordano Ventura. Ventura provided some much-needed relief for the overworked bullpen with six mostly solid innings in the Royals’ 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Ventura (4-3) gave up three runs and six hits, only the second quality start in his last five appearances. The right-hander walked four and struck out three. “I’m improving outing to outing,” said Ventura, whose record fell to 1-3 on the road. “I’ll continue to work and do the best I can to help this team.” Ventura made one big mistake, an 0-2 pitch that Melky Cabrera stroked for a two-out, two-run single to snap a 1-all tie in the fifth. It was the only hit for the White Sox in 23 chances with a runner in scoring position in the series.

in which coaches have been allowed to attend in accordance with NCAA rules. “I definitely see that,” Young said Saturday of KU’s coaches attending his games. “I definitely see every game and every live period coach (Bill) Self and the other coaches sitting right underneath the basket. I definitely notice that. I definitely see that.” Rivals.com’s No. 13-rated player still would like to be a package deal with No. 2-ranked Michael Porter, 6-8 from Tolton Catholic in Columbia Mo. That would be fine with KU, which has been recruiting Porter for years. However, Porter’s dad, Michael Sr., recently took a job with University of Washington, making the Huskies heavy favorites to land Porter. In fact, Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi predicts Porter ultimately will select Washington, and Young will choose Kentucky. Of Young, Bossi wrote: “At times this spring, Young has tried to shoot his way through pressure and been prone to some silly decisions. In Hampton (two weeks ago at EYBL event in which he scored 105 points in 103 minutes played), he really started to move the ball and took smarter shots. Young still has to limit turnovers, but he was easily one of the session’s premier players averaging 25.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.”

squander a few runs here and there. Last year, we gave up two runs in three games against three really good teams (at state). During regionals, we gave up one run in two games, so that’s definitely our key to success.” On paper, the fourthseeded Firebirds (18-4) are repeating last year’s success in the field, but they virtually remade their infield. Junior third baseman Zion Bowlin, who has a cannon for a right arm, is the only infielder who returned from last year in the same position. Corbett, who started at shortstop last season, moved to second base after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August, making it an easier throw on his arm. Junior Matt Hill became the team’s new shortstop, and juniors Nate Strathman and Dale Miller split time at first base, with junior Jaden Moore at catcher. “Our belief is that our defense isn’t going to have an off day,” FSHS pitching coach Layne Meyer said. “Fortunately, the guys have worked so hard in practice, and it really shows in our games.” During their six-game winning streak, the Firebirds have committed only three errors — all in one game against Lawrence High. At shortstop, Hill hasn’t made an error this season, quite a feat behind a group of pitchers who force a lot of ground balls. Hill has improved throughout the season, working on “quicker hands, quicker feet and more range.” He showed off all of those tools in the regional final against Lawrence, going to his

Greene thanks fans: Former KU guard Brannen Greene, who was passenger in a car accident in New York on Friday night, took to Twitter on Sunday to tell everybody he’s OK. “Everything happens for a reason. I’m all good and healthy! Back to playing ball already. Thank you everyone for the love and support!” Greene wrote. “God is great. Love, bro,” he added in a Tweet to former KU football player Ben Heeney, who noted to Greene, “Crazy story bro. I had a similar scare about two months ago. God is good!” Greene had an individual workout with the Sacramento Kings last Thursday. He has also worked out with Golden State and reportedly had a workout with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier Friday. l

Diallo a first-rounder, CBS says: CBSsports. com released its postNBA Combine player rankings on Saturday. KU freshman Cheick Diallo checked in at No. 30 overall, meaning if those projections are correct, he’d be the final pick of Round One of the June 23 draft. “Cheick Diallo had a superb combine and could go higher than No. 30,” writes Sam Vecenie of the website. KU’s Wayne Selden Jr. is listed as No. 51 and Perry Ellis No. 60 overall prospect. Brannen Greene is No. 129. l

Riley to visit KU: Cody Riley, a 6-7 junior power forward from Sierra Canyon High in Chatsworth, Calif., who is ranked No. 26 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, tells the website he will visit KU, USC, UCLA, Oklahoma and UConn. Of KU and OU, he said: “I’m a big guy on relationships with coaches. I need to know that I have somebody I can trust. As far as talking to them (coaches of both schools), I feel I have that comfort with them. I’ve been talking to Kansas for a longer period of time — since I was a freshman. That would be the only reason I would have a better relationship with coach (Kurtis) Townsend over there.”

he interpreted that the contract was drawn up to protect both sides and reward Price for his loyalty and continued commitment to KU. The $500,000 retention bonus is merely a way to backload the money paid to Price and, even at that, Zenger said spreading that amount over five years still would only put Price in the middle of the pack among Big 12 baseball coaches. Despite helping outline the specifics of Price’s contract, Zenger made it clear money had little to do with his decision to bring Price back, a decision that really took next to no time to reach. “He’s not just a quality coach. He’s also highly respected within our athletic department and university community, and what people in Lawrence might not know is that he also is regarded as a leader nationally among base-

MIKEY CORBETT’S MOVE TO SECOND BASE THIS SEASON gives the Firebirds two natural shortstops anchoring their middle infield. backhand in the hole between shortstop and third base and firing a dart to first base for an out. “Honestly, playing a lot of games on turf, you can’t beat that,” Hill said. “No bad hops, and everything plays true. Just working every day. I’ve been working on defense for as long as I can remember. It’s always been my thing.” Meyer added of Hill: “We expected a lot from him. But I don’t think it would be a stretch to say, maybe, he exceeded expectations. He’s played very, very well.” One of the benefits to Corbett moving to second base is that the Firebirds have two natural shortstops anchoring the middle of their infield. “I’ve learned a lot from Mikey,” Hill said. “He’s helped me out a lot. He’s helped me during games with positioning and tells me when to get rid of the ball. He was a great shortstop last year, and it’s nice having him right next to me.” In the outfield, the Firebirds added sophomore Kyle Abrahamson

ball coaches and always has represented us well in that capacity,” Zenger said. “He’s a man of high integrity and values, and his team reflects that on a daily basis.” In 2015, Price, who has led KU to three NCAA regional appearances, became just the fourth baseball coach in Big 12 history to reach the 400-win mark with one program. But Zenger said Price’s contributions to KU and his value for the university go well beyond wins and losses, with Price doing much of the fund-raising to ensure that Hoglund Ballpark and the surrounding facilities continue to improve and remain first-class. Picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll, Price’s Jayhawks failed to reach even that finish, largely because of injuries to key pitchers, two of whom were projected to be weekend starters. Positioned offensively to compete with any team in the conference and perhaps challenge for another top-three finish — Price led the Jayhawks to a program-best

American League Red Sox 5, Indians 2 Boston — David Ortiz went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a double that sent a fan flying, Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his hitting streak to 27 games, and Boston beat Cleveland on Sunday for its 10th win in 14 games. Bradley singled in the fifth inning and has the longest hitting streak in the majors since a 28-gamer by Colorado’s Nolan Arenado in 2014. Ortiz drove in three runs. His RBI double in the second put the Red Sox ahead 3-2, and when the ball bounced over Boston’s bullpen, a fan came charging from his seat and fell into a fence trying to retrieve the souvenir. Ortiz was a triple short of a cycle when another ground-rule double bounced into the bullpen near the center-field triangle. Rick Porcello (7-2) allowed two runs and five hits in 52⁄3 innings, and Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his 12th save. Danny Salazar (4-3) gave up four runs in 41⁄3 innings.
