A SIGN CRITICAL OF THE EAST NINTH PROJECT SITS ON DISPLAY Monday outside a home on the 700 block of Rhode Island Street.

Fate of East Ninth Project rests with City Commission

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Lawrence City Commission today will discuss a concept design for the long-debated East Ninth Project, but likely won’t vote on it, a few commissioners said Monday.

Before commissioners see the design during their regular meeting, they’ll discuss during a budget work session today a draft of a capital improvement plan that shows the project as unfunded.

The document led to questions Monday from those involved in the project whether it would even be considered in 2017. And, as the plan moves to City Hall, it continues to see differing opinions from East Lawrence residents and businesses.

Mayor Mike Amyx, who was part of a 15-member committee formed around the project, said he wanted commissioners to make their opinions known at today’s meeting.

The East Ninth Citizens Advisory Committee, of which Amyx was a part, met a dozen times — six more than planned — and voted 13-2 in March to support the design.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert said he’s an advocate for the project but that a vote may be delayed a week for more review.

A Kansas University assistant professor who used the N-word during a class discussion survived a discrimination complaint and investigation but not the university’s employment review process.

KU will terminate Andrea Quenette, assistant professor of communication studies, at the conclusion of the spring 2017 semester, Quenette told the JournalWorld on Monday.

Following her progress toward tenure review — routine for faculty in their third year at KU — the university formally notified Quennette her last week she would not be reappointed, Quenette explained.

Quenette, 33, said she “absolutely” believes the decision was based on events of the past year rather than her performance alone.

“I’ve been very powerless throughout the entire situation,” she said. “I still believe that I was assumed guilty, and I had to prove my innocence for all of the issues.”

be occurring in your community over the next five years,” Rob Schwarz of RSP & Associates told the school board at its meeting Monday.

The district’s overall student population is expected to increase over the next five years, growing from about 10,500 to 11,200 students by 2020, according to the RSP report. The report indicates that current residential development is concentrated largely in the northwest portion of the city, and that trend is expected to continue. As a result, Langston Hughes Elementary and Free State High School — both located in northwest Lawrence — are projected to approach their building capacities by 2019.

Langston Hughes has a capacity of 600 students and Free State High School has a capacity of 1,800 students. As part of the $92.5 million districtwide bond issue in 2013, both schools recently completed construction projects to add more classrooms. But outgoing Superintendent Rick Doll warned board members about resorting to additional building

expansions or new buildings to deal with enrollment increases.

Instead, Doll said that he thought the board should stick to the plan, established as part of the recent bond issue, of shifting student populations to expanded schools in central Lawrence, such as Sunset Hill.

The district has about 10,500 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and the overall student population has been on the rise since 2007.

Doll said that he hopes the board will stick with the plan to manage enrollment growth by shifting population, despite potential resistance to boundary changes.

Incoming Superintendent Kyle Hayden said the board’s boundary advisory committee will begin looking at potential boundary changes in its upcoming meetings, particularly at the elementary level.

The committee would recommend any potential boundary changes to the school board, which has the final say. Hayden said the committee would likely take about a year to study potential changes before making a recommendation.

KU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Quenette said she would teach an online communications course this summer and have a researchintensive semester with no teaching responsibilities in the fall. Her duties for spring 2017 will be determined later, she said.

She is undecided what she’ll do after leaving KU but is considering leaving academia and looking at jobs in the corporate sector.

“It didn’t work out the way that I wanted it to,” Quenette said. “I wanted to be able to stay at KU.” In November, a group of graduate students in the communications studies program demanded in an open letter and on social media that Quenette be fired after she used the Nword during a class discussion about race.

Quenette did not direct the term at any person; rather, she stated that while outward acts of racism had been reported at other campuses, she had not seen “(N-word) spraypainted on walls at KU.” That class discussion took place the day after a heated, universitywide town hall forum about race.

Most but not all of the students who signed the open letter — which listed various other complaints about Quenette, including describing her as racially insensitive, defensive, confrontational, unprofessional and denying of institutional racism — were in the class.

Quenette requested and was granted paid leave while the fallout ensued.

Several students filed racial harassment and discrimination complaints with KU’s Office

of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which concluded in mid-March that Quenette had not violated the university’s nondiscrimination or racial and ethnic harassment policies.

However, Quenette said her administrative leave was not lifted — allowing her to return to campus — until Friday.

She said College of Liberal Arts and Sciences administrators asked her to remain on leave beyond the investigation’s conclusion and consulted students and other faculty about her in the weeks that followed.

“No other faculty member who went through the same type of review this year had the same types of questions asked about them,” Quenette said.

“I don’t think any of the student concerns would have ever come to light had the stuff in the fall not happened.”

Explaining reasons for her non-reappointment, Quenette said the university cited student concerns in the November open letter as reasons she should not teach the basic course, meaning KU would need to hire someone else to do it. The basic course is required for communications graduate students to prepare them for teaching undergraduate public speaking classes.

She said there were also concerns about her research productivity, and department leaders advocated for her to have an extra year to catch up but were overruled.

Quenette was previously scheduled for a research-intensive semester with no teaching duties this spring, but being on leave the entire semester meant she was

City seeks public’s input on budget

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence leaders are seeking more input from the community in the next couple of weeks about priorities for the 2017 budget.

Today, a public comment period exclusively about budget allocations is scheduled during the City Commission’s regular meeting, starting at 5:45 p.m.

Prior to the regular meeting, commissioners will convene from 3 to 5:15 p.m. to discuss a draft of the city’s five-year capital improvement plan.

They will meet at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. The city also set up a survey on its Lawrence Listens website Monday, asking Lawrence residents to weigh in on what should be prioritized in the budget. Like at two public meetings held in recent weeks, participants will be asked to determine whether each of 21 city services should be more highly prioritized, prioritized less or stay the same.

The survey will be up at lawrenceks.org/lawrence-listens until 5 p.m.

June 3. Comments will be aggregated into a report to city staff and the City Commission. not allowed on campus, which hampered her ability to access resources she needed, she said. She said the investigation also was emotionally difficult and a “huge distraction.”

Quenette said she appealed KU’s decision not to reappoint her through all available channels under university policy but was unsuccessful.

A KU spokesman declined to confirm or elaborate on Quenette’s employment situation.

“This is a personnel matter and is not related to the claims of discrimination raised to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access,” KU spokesman Andy Hyland said. “As it is a personnel matter, we cannot discuss it further.”

KU’s policy on promotion and tenure states that promotion is based on “a thorough examination of the candidate’s record and the impartial application of clearly articulated standards pursuant to prescribed procedures.”

Factors for consideration include teaching, scholarship and service and “no single source of information, such as peer review letters, shall be considered a conclusive indicator of quality.”

Following progress toward tenure reviews, the policy says, non-reappointment may be justified by poor performance of responsibilities; the academic unit’s plans for future faculty development; by budgetary considerations; or by a departmental, school or college decision that its needs should be filled with a different individual.

A HUGE AMERICAN FLAG HUNG BY FIREFIGHTERS FROM TONGANOXIE AND FAIRMOUNT TOWNSHIP, OF BASEHOR, along with veterans, honors hundreds of motorcyclists passing under an overpass on County Road 1061 east of Lawrence on Monday, headed to Washington, D.C., as part of the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom, aka Run for the Wall.

Flags unfurl as ‘thunder’ rolls down I-70

By Shawn Linenberger Twitter: @ManAtTheMirror

Tonganoxie — Nearly 40 American flags were unfurled — including a 20-by-30-foot version towering above the overpass — to greet motorcyclists Monday passing through the Heartland.

Tonganoxie American Legion Post 41 and its women’s auxiliary, the Tonganoxie Motorcycle Association, Christian Motorcycle Association and the Ozawkie American Legion Riders joined together for the annual event.

Motorcyclists headed east on Interstate 70 as part of the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom.

Also known as the Run for the Wall, veterans ride bikes in a multiple-day trek from Ontario, Calif., to Washington, D.C. Riders can join in the group at designated spots across the country, with varying routes outlined.

The annual journey, which is in its 29th year, culminates with

a visit to the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

The ride’s purpose also is to increase awareness in Washington, D.C., about veterans’ issues.

Monday morning, several American Legion and Tonganoxie Motorcycle Association members met at the Tonganoxie Casey’s convenience store. From there, they rode to the overpass roughly 3 miles south of Tonganoxie at the Tonganoxie/Eudora interchange.

Riders with Rolling Thunder made their way to that point on I-70 after 10 a.m., complete with law enforcement escort. Folks along the bridge waved to the bikers and they responded in kind — as did many motorists traveling the highway in advance of the cyclists.

Many vehicles, including several semi-trucks, honked as they met the flag bearers for roughly an hour before the bikers rode through.

The Rev. Ron Swaim, minister at Cornerstone Family Worship and a Tonganoxie Motorcycle

Association member, said he’s been part of the highway greeting annually since it started four years ago.

“Very, very patriotic event,” Swaim said.

The minister said he was encouraged to see so many people being “in support of America and the flag.”

American Legion Post 41 member Richard Cottam said participating in the event is a wonderful way to show support for veterans.

“It just gets bigger and bigger,” he said. Nearly 80 people were on hand for the display.

Joining the veterans and other groups on the overpass bridge were Reno and Tonganoxie township fire departments.

Fairmount Township and Tonganoxie City firefighters hoisted the gigantic flag in the air with trucks from each department.

The American Legion donated the flag to the Tonganoxie Fire Department. The flag has been displayed at various local events and parades.

Lawmakers expect to consider transgender restroom use

Photo by Erin Droste

Wichita (ap) — Republican lawmakers vow to voice opposition to transgender school bathrooms upon reconvening next week.

The issue gained attention after the Obama administration’s recent guidance that transgender students at public schools be allowed to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity.

Rep. John Whitmer, a Wichita Republican, said he and other conservative lawmakers want to

express their displeasure through a resolution, The Wichita Eagle reports.

Bathroom bill supporters said it’s probably too late to do more than a resolution because the only legislative day remaining on the calendar is June 1, the “sine die” day that ordinarily marks the ceremonial end of the legislative year.

Schools wouldn’t be legally bound to follow a resolution with action, but “this is at least what we can do in the short term,”

Whitmer said.

Thomas Witt, executive director of LGBT-rights group Equality Kansas, said all a resolution would do is “single out children who are already victims” in school because they’re different.

Lawmakers took up the transgender bathroom issue earlier this session, but the bill stalled in committee. It would have required transgender students to use facilities corresponding to the sex determined by their chromosome makeup

as recorded on their birth certificates.

Many lawmakers said they were troubled by language that would have allowed students to sue their school for $2,500 if they encountered a transgendered classmate in the “wrong” restroom.

Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, R-Shawnee, led the charge for the original bathroom bill and said the Legislature needs to give parents some certainty of what their children might expect at school.

With the 2016 elections looming right around the corner, one local candidate is already looking ahead to the 2017 races, when municipal and school board elections will be moved to the November ballot.

Steven X. Davis, a Lawrence Democrat running for a seat in the Kansas House, said Monday that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is already behind schedule in adopting rules and regulations to implement that change.

“I don’t know that it’s necessarily an urgent issue,” said Davis, who is challenging 11-term incumbent Rep. Barbara Ballard in the upcoming Aug. 2 primary. “But he’s supposed to be the ‘rule-oflaw’ secretary of state.”

In the 2015 session, Kansas lawmakers passed a bill that requires cities, school boards and other local governments to hold their elections in November of odd-numbered years. They previously were held in the spring of those years.

Supporters of the bill said it’s intended to boost voter turnout in local elections, where often less than 20 percent of registered voters cast ballots.

The idea is that if there are elections every November, people will more closely associate that time of year with voting.

The bill also contains provisions requiring the secretary of state to adopt rules and regulations governing such things as the order in which local races Please see ELECTIONS, page 4A

Project CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Commissioner Stuart Boley said he’d like more time to consider the issue, and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden and Commissioner Lisa Larsen did not respond Monday to calls for comment. Previously, Soden, an East Lawrence resident, had been critical of the project.

“Once the public comment is done, we should have a frank discussion on what the direction ought to be so the public and staff really know where we’re going on Ninth Street,” Amyx said.

Josh Davis, who lives along East Ninth Street and has attended many of the 40-plus public meetings about the project, echoed that thought.

“A lot of time and community involvement has been put in, and it makes sense for a decision to be made one way or another,” Davis said. “I’d like to see action.”

A vote of support today would initiate the second phase of the design, starting technical drawings for construction. Project designer Josh Shelton, with Kansas City-based el dorado inc, has said costs for the second phase could fall between $275,000 and $375,000, depending on what’s approved in the concept design.

Two years of input ArtPlace America notified the Lawrence Arts Center nearly two years ago that it won a major grant for the idea of recreating East Ninth Street into an arts corridor.

Groups of East Lawrence residents created opposing websites on the

. issue, where they have posted letters, videos and other comments along the way. The project was credited with drawing a record number of voters to the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association election in November.

The initial design phase has lasted 11 months longer than the estimated seven, Shelton said.

Since June 2014, the idea for the corridor morphed from “Free State Boulevard: From the Studio to the Streets” back to what Shelton has called a “light touch” to the existing East Ninth Street.

The current design, estimated at $3,500,000, includes two driving lanes for most of the six-block corridor, along with sidewalks on each side and an 8-foot shared-used path for both pedestrians and bicyclists.

Parallel parking would be available in places on both sides of Ninth Street.

Components for the project include light displays, sound signals, native grasses used for stormwater management and large rocks arranged to create intimate gathering areas. The full concept design is outlined in an 81-page report.

The design has so far garnered the support of five public bodies: the East Ninth Citizens Advisory Committee, Bicycle Advisory Committee, East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission and Historic Resources Commission.

Recent feedback In a blog post circulating over the weekend, Davis wrote the project has received “beyond an acceptable amount of discussion” and come out with majority support, which

capital improvement plan released Friday, the approximately $3,500,000 now estimated for the project was listed as “unfunded.” In a memo about the capital improvement plan, City Manager Tom Markus said the unfunded projects were ones that “are not financially feasible at this time” without adjustments to Lawrence’s debt service or to other projects.

Joan Golden, chair of the Lawrence Arts Center, emailed Markus on Monday, asking that he “reconsider your recommendation to withdraw the fund for this project.”

She said the withdrawal made the decision for city commissioners, without them having the opportunity to comment or vote on it.

“By publicly withdrawing the funds prior to community input at the City Commission meeting on May 24, the city staff, rather than the City Commission, seems to be predetermining the outcome of this high-profile project that has been in the works for several years,” she wrote. “... With the tremendous amount of work and effort that have been spent by many community stakeholders in this important project, we believe the project deserves an open public discussion and a decision by the City Commission.”

City commissioners will convene for their regular meeting at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E.

In a draft of a five-year commissioners should note.

Shelton said the post “struck a chord.”

“If the city is going to ask people to participate in a project to that extent and facilitate a project like this, I hope they’re actually empowering stakeholders to have a voice at the table,” Shelton said.

But there’s still a strong contingent opposing the design, as evident in a video created by the group last week; letters to the Historic Resources Commission and East Ninth Citizens Advisory Committee; and the public comment periods of recent meetings on the project.

As of Monday evening, city commissioners had received six letters of support for the project and five against it since Saturday. One letter of support was signed by 55 East Lawrence businesses and individuals. Another letter, opposing it, was signed by 32 businesses and individuals.

Those against it have expressed fear the project might increase property values and they could no longer afford to live and work in East Lawrence.

They’ve also said they don’t support the changes in parking and asserted the newly estimated $3,567,945 budget doesn’t include all of the costs.

“This plan is too costly at a time of belt-tightening,” reads the opposition letter.

“As a community, we need to put equity before extras, and people values before property values.”

underway,” Krsnich said.

“Now, I don’t even know if it is going to happen.”

The project has received a positive recommendation from the city’s Historic Resources Commission, but it still must win funding and key approvals from the City Commission.

Concerns of some neighbors, though, must factor into all of this, too.

The process has been a contentious one, in part, because some residents of East Lawrence didn’t feel like they were included in the idea from its early stages. Concerns have lingered with some who believe the corridor will serve as a way to tie downtown and the Warehouse Arts District together, which they fear could be detrimental to the single-family neighborhood that lies in between.

Krsnich has begun characterizing that group as a very small minority, but city commissioners may view it differently. It does appear that the City Commission is split on the idea of the East Ninth Project. The city would find itself in an odd position if it had to give back the $500,000 ArtPlace grant because it couldn’t agree on the corridor project. I would think that the commission would figure out a way to avoid that scenario, but it will be interesting to watch.

You do have to wonder whether more time will do any good on this project, or whether everyone’s opinions are set in stone. l Plans for a new

microbrewery and apartment complex in East Lawrence are moving ahead.

As we reported in December, plans were filed

by Lawrence businessman Adam Williams and Lawrence brewer Matt Williams to convert the old SeedCo building at 826 Pennsylvania St. into a brewery, restaurant and apartment building.

Well, those plans are becoming more definite.

The group has recently purchased the property, and now is awaiting site plan approval from Lawrence City Hall. The new plans show the SeedCo building — which is next door to the Cider Gallery — growing by two stories in height. The new floors would house three two-bedroom apartments and 12 one-bedroom apartments.

The remaining ground floor and basement space would be devoted to the microbrewery and restaurant, plus the needed space to actually manufacture and store the beer. As we reported in December, the new venture would be called the Lawrence Beer Company.

Adam Williams said he hopes to receive city approvals in July and have the project completed in about 12 months.

Williams said the group is looking at making some of the apartments part of an affordable housing program, but he said the details for that still need to be finalized.

Man accused of sex crimes against minor A Eudora man is accused of sex crimes involving a child under age 18 over the course of several months.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court, the man, who is 66 years old, promoted “a performance that includes sexually explicit conduct by a child” once on Aug. 28, 2015, and

twice on Oct. 30, 2015.

The man turned himself in to the Douglas County Jail on Saturday and was released later that day after posting a $10,000 bond.

The man will next appear in court for a preliminary hearing where the court will decide whether there is enough evidence to order him to stand trial.

Eudora approves platting near K-10 The Eudora City Commission on Monday approved the platting of property south of 15th Street near the Kansas Highway 10/Church Street business district.

The property, named Meadows on 15th by owners Mike Murtin and Chris Gillespie, is south of Whispering Meadows Court on 15th Street. It abuts K-10 right of way to the south.

A report to the City Commission states the owners plan to use the western third for commercial development and build out the

eastern two-thirds as a planned residential district.

The western part of the property was zoned commercial earlier this year.

The commission also approved the annexation of street right of way on sections of road it already mows but does not own, The street sections were along Church Street south of K-10, the north side of North 1420 Road east of Ash Street and parts of West 10th Street and Winchester Road near the intersections of those two streets.

charge of elections, said his office is still reviewing the new statute to determine what, if any, new regulations need to be adopted.

He said it’s not clear whether formal rules and regulations are necessary to implement the law and that the office might be able to address some of the issues by issuing policy guidelines instead.

Davis, however, said that process does not allow for formal notice or public hearings, and it effectively allows Kobach to make decisions on his own that can affect how those municipal races are conducted.

The problem, Davis said, is the law calls for those rules and regulations to be adopted by July 1, 2016. But before that can happen, the proposed rules and regulations need to be published at least 60 days in advance, and the secretary of state needs to conduct a public hearing on them.

But as of Monday, Kobach’s office had not published a notice of any such new regulations, and no public hearings have been scheduled.

Positive trend New figures from the U.S. Census Bureau confirm a positive growth trend for Lawrence.

G

rowth may pose some challenges to a community, but it’s almost always preferable to the alterna-

tive.

That’s why it’s good news that, according to new population figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, Lawrence is growing more than most other Kansas cities. From 2014 to 2015, Lawrence recorded an increase of 1,250 people or about 1.3 percent. Only Lenexa, in fastgrowing Johnson County, had a higher one-year growth rate, coming in a 2.8 percent.

Lawrence also is looking good when it comes to longer-term growth. The city, which now has a population of 93,917, has grown by 7.1 percent since the 2010 census. That put Lawrence in fourth place behind Lenexa (8.9 percent), Overland Park (7.5 percent) and Manhattan (7.7 percent). Of particular note in the latest census figures was a population decline in Topeka. The drop was only 0.1 percent, but any decline in population raises some red flags for a community. Any weakness in Topeka’s economy also could affect Lawrence because of the large number of people who live in Lawrence and have jobs in Topeka.

That circumstance also raises another issue for Lawrence. It’s great to have population growth, but if growth in the number of residents in the city isn’t accompanied by growth in business and the non-residential tax base, Lawrence could increase its already-heavy dependence on residential property taxes to support city services. Providing homes for people who work in Topeka or greater Kansas City will feed Lawrence’s population figures, but business development is needed to provide more local employment and broaden the local tax base.

This isn’t news to local leaders. However, it’s something that Lawrence city commissioners should keep in mind as they consider revisions to the city’s policies on economic development tax incentives. Some changes may be needed, but Lawrence must make sure its incentive policies are flexible and competitive enough to keep the city in the running for desirable projects.

How and where growth should occur in Lawrence is a subject of ongoing debate, but the bottom line is that growth is good for a community. We’d much rather deal with the challenges of growth than to face the problems that come with a population decline.

Common enemy unites troops in Syria Northern Syria — The raw Sunni recruits in crisp camouflage uniforms, popping off rounds at the firing range at a U.S. training camp here, illustrate the dilemma for the U.S. as it seeks to form a strong military force to drive the Islamic State from its capital, Raqqah.

The U.S. could try to build the Sunni army it would want, ideally, to capture Raqqah, a Sunni city. But that might take years. Or it can go with the army it has, which is dominated by the tough, experienced Kurdish fighters from the YPG militia. They’re anathema to Turkey, to the north, and to the official Syrian political opposition. But the rampaging Syrian Kurds get the job done.

The U.S. is trying to do some of both, by building a new opposition coalition under the makeshift banner of the “Syrian Democratic Forces,” or SDF, which integrates Sunnis, Christians, Turkmen and other inexperienced fighters with the larger, powerhouse that is the YPG. That’s not ideal politically but it makes military sense.

“We do, absolutely, have to go with what we’ve got,” says Gen. Joseph Votel, the Centcom commander who oversees the war here, at the end of a long Saturday spent touring SDF bases. A small group of reporters was on the trip, on condition that we couldn’t write about it until we had left the country. It was a rare chance to

“

The U.S. could try to build the Sunni army it would want, ideally, to capture Raqqah, a Sunni city. But that might take years. Or it can go with the army it has …” report from inside Syria.

The practical reality is that only the Kurds have the muscle now, not the Sunnis, and Votel’s job is “to achieve military objectives on the ground” by continuing to roll back the Islamic State.

This attempt to integrate the weaker Sunnis with stronger Kurds represents a more pragmatic alternative to the earlier $500 million “train and equip” program to create, in effect, a new Sunni-dominated army — which collapsed last summer. Despite bitter objections from Turkey (which claims the Kurds are part of the “terrorist” PKK), U.S. commanders decided to go with the battle-hardened Kurdish fighters who had savaged the Islamic State in Kobani in 2014 and be-

gan to liberate a big swath of northeast Syria. Starting last October, they tried to graft less-experienced Sunni and Christian forces into the SDF coalition.

The Syrian Kurds are ferocious fighters, men and women alike. We met several leaders of the Kurdish women’s militia, called the YPJ. Wearing beaded headdress over military camouflage, they said they had all fought in front-line combat.

U.S. advisers say the Kurdish women are so tough they sometimes go into battle with suicide belts, so they won’t be captured by Islamic State fighters who would turn them into sex slaves.

American advisers tell awe-struck stories of YPJ warriors who fought to the last woman in Kobani. The equality of male-female sacrifice, proclaimed on billboards in Kurdish regions, is a breath of fresh air, in a Middle East where women’s rights are suppressed.

Votel says the U.S. has learned from earlier Syrian missteps not to try to build a perfect force, but to work with the allies it has. When adding recruits to the SDF, he says, “we had to shorten the training period, and focus it more on combat basics,” adapting to the forces that existed rather than trying to remake them.

Sunni sheikhs, always opportunistic, seem to be buying into the strategy as their best hope against the Islamic State. We met three such

leaders who are sending their young tribesmen to fight with the Kurdish-led group.

The sheikhs described how some members of their tribes around Raqqah are beginning to defect from the Islamic State — and pleading for relief from the barbarous extremists.

“We found that the YPG is the only force that can liberate us,” says Sheikh Mohammed al-Mila of the Tufaiha tribe. A similar view is expressed by Kino Gabriel, a local Syriac Christian leader whose small militia of 500 to 1,000 has allied with the Kurds. The alternative, he says, was “a lose-lose situation for all of us. None of us could defend the area by ourselves.”

Here, at least, the U.S. can’t be accused of trying to build Switzerland in the Middle East. It’s raw realpolitik, and sometimes the pieces don’t fit. Nujin Dirik, the commander of the Kurdish women’s militia, says she’s fighting for a place the Kurds call “Rojava,” which they hope will be an autonomous region someday. But Col. Ali Hajo, an SDF Arab commander from the northern town of Jarablus, says he’s fighting for a nation called Syria.

The strategy has an unstated theme: Destroy the Islamic State now; worry about the future of Syria later.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 24, 1916: years “The city comago missioners today IN 1916 accepted a parcel of land opening Indiana street from University Place to the south border of the campus. S. W. Gowans was the donor. The land given is sufficient to open a fortyfoot street, and it is given on condition that a paved street be opened to connect with the University campus. This is one of the openings from the campus to the south which people in the south part of town have desired for a long time.”

To the editor: The Black Box Theater at Free State High School is being redistributed as a flex room, readers learn in the May 19 Journal-World article. School administration suggests that the crushing need for the theater program to be tossed under the bus arises from the rise in enrollment (according to the figures given, 200 new students vs. 75 at LHS). The dismantling of the FSHS theater comes, ironically, at the same time that LHS is building its own Black Box Theater.

A lot of lip service is given to the arts, especially in a town like Lawrence. However, even I — a huge supporter of high school sports — am hard-pressed to imagine that the locker room would be turned into a flex room and the players asked to just go without uniforms or maybe change in their cars. Or that the AP chemistry class would be turned into a flex room and the teacher asked to function without heat sources or sinks or maybe store those at home. Or that the English teacher would be asked to do without smart board or books and just play charades in the hall.

We know that the arts are so important to all students’ learning process and development. Administrators, people in charge, please stop throwing words around to defend a bad choice, and instead be noble and help our students. Stand up for the arts. Please just fix the situation.

To the editor: It is sad to see that the historic John Ise house at 1208 Mississippi Street has been abandoned, and allowed to decline for at least three years now.

John Ise was a professor at Kansas University for over 35 years. He wrote eight books, including a widely used economics textbook. “Sod and Stubble” is Ise’s most well-known work. According to the Kansas Historical Society, he is still considered among the three greatest professors in the history at KU. Ise was a philanthropist who supported the animal shelter in Lawrence. The Charles Ise Memorial Animal Shelter in Lawrence is named after his son.

I contacted the Kansas Historical Society and found out that that entire block is protected from demolition and has been listed with the National Register of Historic Places. It is known as the Hancock (12th Street) Historic District. They said that unfortunately there are no laws requiring property owners to repair or maintain those properties.

Sometimes the land is more valuable than the building, and landlords will intentionally let a house become dilapidated so that they can ignore the historical value and legally tear it down.

Hopefully this is not the case.

Surely there would be a family willing to pay a fair market price to purchase and repair the John Ise house. It would be sad to destroy this important part of Lawrence history for the quick cash from a new apartment building.

To the editor: I have one question for Gov. Brownback and his apologists, since he keeps insisting that the Kansas revenue shortfall has been primarily the result of the economic decline in agriculture, oil and gas and aviation.

I assume that he and his economic wizards were aware of this phenomenon when they implemented their tax cuts for the most wealthy of Kansans and 334,000 businesses. Then again maybe not since they seriously underestimated the number of so-called small businesses that would avail themselves of these tax cuts.

Didn’t they realize that the tax cuts they implemented would negatively compound the loss of state revenue and create major budget problems? Are they that dumb? Did they really think that cutting taxes for a select group of taxpayers would spawn sustainable economic growth in industries that have a volatile past and were on a downward trend?

As they say on Sunday Night Football: “What were they thinking?”

It being Kansas in May, there is the possibility some of the storms could be severe, Heller said.

A National Weather Service meteorologist said the Monday afternoon showers that moved through Lawrence are more or less the forecast for the area through the long Memorial Day weekend.

The weather service’s latest forecast model shows there’s a daily 30 percent to 50 percent chance of showers or thunderstorms through May 30, said meteorologist Emily Heller of the National Weather Service office in Topeka.

That’s not as bad as it sounds for those tired of the rains of the past five weeks. Heller said daylong rains or showers were not in the forecast

“We’re releasing 2,000 cubic feet per second,” she said. “The lake level is dropping about fourtenths a foot per day. We should be good to go as long as they keep letting us release. We’re ready for Memorial Day weekend. That seems to be our most popular weekend.

Going its own way, Austin fills Uber, Lyft vacancy Ride-share services backed out of city over regulation dispute Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

AUSTIN Faced with a ride-hailing void after a contentious regulation battle pushed Uber and Lyft to leave the city, Austin tech leaders took up the challenge: They created an app and company in 16 days of feverish work.

Monday, they unveiled RideAustin, a community-driven, non-profit ride-hailing initiative.

The idea hatched shortly after Austin voters on May 7 rejected a proposition by Uber and Lyft that would allow the companies to essentially self-regulate and bypass the city’s mandate for fingerprint

background checks on drivers.

Two days after the failed vote, Uber and Lyft shut down operations in Austin.

The companies have faced similar challenges in Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia and a host of other cities.

Austin engineers worked around the clock in the two weeks since the vote to launch the app and initiative, one of the first known non-profit ride-hailing initiatives in the country. To fund the platform, RideAustin collected private donations from locals and tapped corporations that prepaid for thousands of rides, said Joe Liemandt, a tech entrepreneur and RideAustin co-founder.

RideAustin began recruiting drivers Monday and expects to start rides in mid-June.

“This is by Austin, for Austin,”

The list of police chiefs recently ousted in the wake of personnel disputes or racially charged episodes involving officers’ conduct is long — and getting longer.

San Francisco Chief Greg Suhr, who resigned last week after the fatal police shooting of an African-American woman, is the latest top official to leave the stage as communities large and small struggle with crises of confidence in their law enforcement agencies.

Since Ferguson, Mo., exploded in civil unrest after the fatal police shooting of a black teenager nearly two years ago, chiefs have exited with increasing regularity, from Baltimore and Chicago to Cincinnati and Salt Lake City.

“Never has the job been more difficult than now,” said Darrel Stephens, executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, a coalition of the nation’s top law enforcement officers. “It is a precarious time.”

“Never has the job been more difficult than now.

It is a precarious time.”

RIDEAUSTIN

RideAustin is a communitydriven, non-profit ride-hailing alternative to Uber and Lyft, which left the city.

Stephens and other law enforcement analysts attribute the accelerated turnover to sustained scrutiny of all facets of police operations initially prompted by the racial strife that left Ferguson in near ruin and that reignited in New York, Cleveland, North Charleston, S.C., and other communities after controversial — often deadly — police actions.

David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor, said the public attention trained on police actions has intensified public pressure on political leaders to act quickly, with many often choosing to cut ties with established police leaders if only to salvage their own viability or calm a volatile environment.

“Patience is in short supply these days,” Harris said. “What once may have been seen as a purely local matter involving a police department, a chief or an officer, is now seen as part of national pattern or problem. What v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Death row inmate wins racial bias claim in high court Black jurors excluded from murder trial Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court gave an African-American prisoner on Georgia’s death row new life Monday by ruling that prosecutors unconstitutionally barred potential black jurors from his trial nearly 30 years ago.

The 7-1 verdict, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, reversed state courts that had deWASHINGTON

nied Timothy Foster’s claim of racial bias in jury selection during his trial for the murder of an elderly white woman in 1986.

AP The ruling is Foster likely to fuel contentions from death penalty opponents that capital punishment is racially discriminatory. It also could impact the way prosecutors, defense attorneys and trial judges handle jury selection.

What brought Foster’s case

back to court after three decades was a series of prosecution notes obtained by defense lawyers through an open records request.

While jurors were being picked, prosecutors highlighted the names of African Americans, circled the word “black” on questionnaires and added notations such as “B#1” and “B#2.” On a sheet labeled “definite NO’s,” they put the last five blacks in the jury pool on top and ranked them in case “it comes down to having to pick one of the black jurors.”

That happened a year after the Supreme Court declared such actions unconstitutional. Civil rights groups say discriminatory

practices in jury selection have survived for 30 years despite the Supreme Court’s ruling in Batson v. Kentucky in 1986.

In Monday’s case, Justice Clarence Thomas, the court’s lone African-American member, cast the lone dissent. He warned that the ruling “invites state prisoners to go searching for new ‘evidence’ by demanding the files of the prosecutors who long ago convicted them.”

Georgia officials told the court prosecutors had expected to be accused of racial discrimination, so they singled out potential black jurors in their notes and listed several race-neutral rea-

sons for opposing each one. Deputy Attorney General Beth Burton acknowledged during oral argument in November that the prosecutors’ notes “certainly can be interpreted in two ways.”

At sentencing, the prosecutor urged the jury to impose death to “deter other people out there in the projects” — where 90% of the residents were black.

The finding that Foster’s constitutional rights were violated gives him a clear path to a new trial. Justice Samuel Alito wrote separately to argue that Georgia’s courts could deny him by asserting that prior rulings were based on state, not federal, law.

Liemandt, said. “Tech can’t solve this problem alone. We are one leg of the stool. The way the community came together on this has been amazing.”

RideAustin will work much the same way Uber and Lyft did, with a downloadable app and pickup algorithms designed to cut down on wait times, he said. It will have a feature that allows riders to donate to local charities.

In its early days, the service will limit itself to the downtown and airport areas, growing out from there to ensure quality of service and that the city’s requirements are being built into the platform, said Andy Tryba, another RideAustin co-founder who recruited some of Austin’s best tech minds to build the platform from the ground up.

Unlike Uber and Lyft, RideAustin officials will share their data for public research, Liemandt said. That research could help answer questions kept secret by the private companies, such as whether lower prices draw more riders or whether price surges discourage them.

“We’re going to be opening the box to how all these ridesharing (companies) work,” Liemandt said.

Joe Garcia, a lobbyist for Yel-

low Cab Austin, said taxi officials question whether the non-profit will have adequate insurance coverage, among other issues. “We think there are a lot more questions to be asked,” he said.

RideAustin’s unveiling marks the latest salvo in a battle simmering since December when the city passed an ordinance requiring more stringent fingerprint screenings for ride-hailing drivers. Uber and Lyft had performed their own background checks since launching here in 2014.

The companies put a proposal on the ballot that would allow them to run their own background checks of drivers and spent more than $8 million to sway voters their way. When the effort failed, the companies made good on their promise to shut down in Austin.

Ken Flippin, 43, a former driver for both Uber and Lyft, said said he’s skeptical that a nonprofit group could compete with private companies but is encouraged by the initiative. He planned to sign up.

“A new alternative system could be better for drivers,” he said. “It’s intriguing.”

President Obama shakes hands with Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang during a visit to Hanoi on Monday. Obama lifted the arms embargo on Vietnam during his visit.

Obama ends U.S. arms embargo on Vietnam Signals breakthrough in mending relations David Jackson and Thomas Maresca USA TODAY

HANOI President Obama lifted a decades-long American arms embargo on Vietnam on Monday and touted a new friendship with the United States’ former enemy.

“Just a generation ago, we were adversaries and now we are friends,” Obama said during a news conference in Hanoi with Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang 41 years after the end of the Vietnam War. Obama also predicted eventual passage of another element of the emerging American-Vietnamese relationship: the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the proposed 12-nation trade deal currently stalled in the U.S. Congress. Vietnam is one of the member countries.

Other signs of cooperation between the former combatants include new business sales, more military cooperation, research programs involving universities in both countries and cultural exchanges that include the introduction of the U.S. Peace Corps to Vietnam, Obama said.

Obama, who arrived here Sunday night, was greeted by small but enthusiastic crowds at the airport and along the motorcade route to his hotel. The capital city of narrow alleys and wide colonial-era boulevards closed 30 streets Monday for the president’s visit, creating a chaotic traffic snarl.

As Obama made the rounds, from a welcoming ceremony at the presidential palace to meetings with Vietnam’s top government officials, he remained a popular topic of discussion among Vietnamese.

Le Van Mai, 84, said Obama’s visit signaled a new era in relations between the former enemies. “The war is in the past now and everything is fresh between Vietnam and the U.S.,” Mai said.

Obama’s “visit can show the bond between the two countries.”

“Our country has moved on. We agree that we want to ease the past and embrace unity between Vietnam and the U.S.” Le Van Mai, 84, Hanoi resident

Mai said he fought as a soldier not against the U.S. but the French, who retreated from Vietnam in 1954 after a crushing defeat at Dien Bien Phu. He lived in Hanoi during the Vietnam War and recalled the bombing and suffering the Vietnamese endured. Yet all that is in the past, he added: “Our country has moved on. We agree that we want to ease the past and embrace unity between Vietnam and the U.S.” Accounting student Nguyen Thi Tu Trinh, 18, said she’s proud Obama is visiting her country. “I think the U.S. and Vietnam should be closer and cooperate in

so many aspects,” she said.

Young Vietnamese are as Internet-savvy as their peers around the world, and Trinh said she has been following the president’s visit on the local news and via social media, where friends posted their photos of sightings of Obama’s motorcade around the city.

As word of the president’s announcement that he was lifting the arms embargo spread, some residents welcomed the gesture in light of a contentious relationship with giant neighbor China, which is engaged in a territorial dispute with Vietnam in the South China Sea. “Like everyone else, I don’t want any conflict” said Nguyen Dinh Toan, 63, who drives one of the ubiquitous motorbike taxis known as xe om. “But if the U.S. can help us, that would be good.

After a morning meeting with Vietnam’s president, Obama signed a series of bilateral agreements, including the $11 billion purchase of 100 Boeing 737 aircraft by Vietnamese airline Vietjet Air. Obama then met with the recently elected chairwoman of Vietnam’s National Assembly, Nyguyen Thi Kim Ngan, at a rustic stilt house on the grounds of the presidential palace that was used as a residence by Ho Chi Minh, the iconic communist leader and president of former North Vietnam.

This year, the ouster of Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy played out as a national drama. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who had consistently expressed public support for McCarthy, reversed course after the release of a video showing the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald, 17, by an officer who was later charged with murder.

Hours after the mayor announced McCarthy’s firing, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced that she had requested the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to investigate the department’s operations.

“Trust in the Chicago Police Department is broken,” Madigan wrote in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “Chicago cannot move ahead and rebuild trust between the police and the community without an outside, independent investigation into its police department to improve policing practices.”

That review is ongoing as the

NICK OZA FOR USA TODAY

Ferguson, Mo., police try to control a crowd after they fired tear gas near Ferguson City Hall in November 2014. reverberations from Ferguson, Baltimore and other communities continue to be felt.

In Baltimore, police officer Edward Nero was acquitted Monday of all charges in the death of Freddie Gray, who died more than a year ago after suffering a spinal injury while in the custody of police.

His controversial death touched off violent protests in the city, a series of events that preceded the firing of Police Commissioner Anthony Batts.

In Ferguson, Delrish Moss, a former Miami police official, is in

the midst of his first month on the job as the city’s new chief, replacing Thomas Jackson, who resigned in March 2015 after a Justice Department report offered a withering indictment of police policies and practices.

Federal officials continue efforts to bolster public trust in policing.

At a White House event Monday to mark last year’s release of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing report — another effort rooted in Ferguson’s aftermath — Lynch said the environment represented “a mo-

VIENNA Austrian anti-immigrant candidate Norbert Hofer lost his bid Monday to become the first far-right president of a European country since World War II. Hofer conceded to former Green Party chief Alexander Van der Bellen, who won a close race after hundreds of thousands of ballots cast by mail were counted.

The Interior Ministry announced that the official tally showed Van der Bellen won 50.3% of the vote to 49.7% for Hofer.

“Dear Friends! I would like to thank you for your great support.

Of course I’m sad today,” Hofer told his Freedom Party supporters in a post to his Facebook account. “I will remain loyal to you and my contribution for a positive future in Austria.”

Van der Bellen told his jubilant supporters Monday, “I will try my best to earn the trust of Norbert Hofer’s voters.”

Speaking of his narrow victory margin, he said: “This is a symbol.

We were talking a lot about dividing lines — left and right, city and countryside, young and old — but we can see it this way: We are equal. There are two halves that make up Austria, and both are equally important.”

More than 4.6 million ballots were cast. Hofer led slightly among people who voted in person on Sunday, but Van der Bellen, who ran as an independent, pulled ahead when 750,000 ballots sent by mail were counted.

Many of those ballots were cast

by Austrians living outside the country who opposed Hofer’s anti-immigration and anti-European Union stance.

Van der Bellen’s victory marks the first time since World War II that a candidate representing Austria’s two mainstream parties will not occupy the largely ceremonial presidency.

ment of unprecedented challenge for police and citizens alike.”

“Our work to help law enforcement adjust to the specific challenges of the 21st century has arisen from an intensely difficult set of circumstances,” Lynch said in prepared remarks. “In cities across the United States ... we’ve seen long-simmering and deeply rooted tensions boil over into protest, discord and even — tragically — into violence.”

FBI Director James Comey is likely to participate in a conference on race and law enforcement Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala., and once again broach the highly charged topic.

In some places, including Cincinnati and Salt Lake City, changes were prompted not by a shooting or other questionable use of force, but by internal clashes involving personnel.

For many police chiefs, the spotlight has been especially harsh for the past two years and there is no let-up in sight.

Ronal Serpas has some experience in that glare.

Hired in 2010 to lead the fractured New Orleans Police Department after a series of scandals exposed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Serpas said the job always had an unforgiving quality attached to it.

“As a chief, you are always on the tip of the spear,” said Serpas, now a criminal justice professor at Loyola University in New Orleans. “The difference now is that everybody is watching and the political process is playing out for all to see.”

BALTIMORE COP ACQUITTED IN GRAY DEATH City’s mayor urges calm after white officer is cleared

6 OFFICERS INDICTED

John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

A Maryland judge acquitted Baltimore police officer Edward Nero of all charges Monday in the controversial case of Freddie Gray, whose death last year touched off sometimes violent protests in the city and reignited Black Lives Matter demonstrations across the nation.

Nero, who is white, was the second of six officers to face trial and the first to obtain a verdict.

The first case ended in a hung jury and will be retried.

Gray, 25, suffered a spinal injury while in police custody April 12, 2015, and died a week later. Prosecutors say he suffered the injury while traveling, handcuffed and without a secured seat belt, in the back of a police van after his arrest.

Nero, 30, had declined a jury trial, and Judge Barry Williams heard testimony that wrapped up last week. Nero was found not guilty of assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment.

Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake issued a statement immediately after the verdict was announced asking for calm.

“Officer Nero will face an administrative review by the Police Department,” she said. “In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond.

We will protect our neighborhoods, our businesses and the people of our city.”

The Baltimore Police Department issued a statement saying the internal investigation was being handled by other departments and wouldn’t be completed until all six criminal cases have been resolved.

Nero, who is white, was among a group of bicycle officers who initially pursued and helped arrest Gray, although Nero claims he did not touch Gray except to help him stand after he was

AIRPORTS: TICKET FEES SHOULD GO TO TSA

SEN. BOB CORKER MEETS WITH DONALD TRUMP

Airports are urging Congress to stop diverting $1.25 billion a year in airline ticket fees for deficit reduction rather than providing the money to the Transportation Security Administration, which is struggling with long lines at checkpoints.

Congress voted in 2014 to use 60 cents for deficit reduction from the $5.60 security fee on each flight segment. The diversion totals $1.25 billion this year, which would represent a significant amount for the TSA, which has a $7.5 billion budget.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., met privately Monday with Donald Trump, stoking speculation he is being vetted as a possible running mate for the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

Corker arrived for the meeting at Trump Tower in New York City and emerged roughly an hour later. The senator told reporters at the scene the meeting focused mostly on policy and was a chance for the two to get to know each other better.

Regarding the possibility that he could be Trump’s running mate, Corker said, “I have no reason whatsoever to believe I’m being considered.”— Michael Collins

AT LEAST 78 KILLED IN SERIES OF BOMBINGS IN SYRIA

At least 78 people were killed and scores injured in a series of bombings in Syria on Monday, state media reported.

AFP reported that the death toll was more than 120. The Associated Press put the figure at 80.

The attacks happened in the coastal cities of Tartus and Jableh, which are strongholds of President Bashar Assad. The Aamaq news agency, which is run by the Islamic State, said militants from the extremist group carried out the attacks.

handcuffed.

Nero was accused in connection with the initial arrest — prosecutors say there was no probable cause — and with later failing to properly secure Gray in a police van. Nero’s lawyers say that he had little to do with the arrest and that it was the responsibility of the officers in the van to buckle Gray.

Nero was the second officer to stand trial in the case. The trial of officer William Porter ended in a hung jury, and Porter, who is black, faces retrial later this year.

The other officers, two black and two white, also face trials in the coming months.

Maryland lawyer Tim Maloney, who has represented — and sued — numerous police officers, said convicting Nero for misconduct on grounds there was no probable cause for the arrest would have set a dangerous precedent.

“That would mean that every officer who makes an arrest could face this (charge),” Maloney, who is not involved in any of the Freddie Gray cases, told USA TODAY. Nero’s decision to have a bench trial could be repeated by the other officers, Maloney added. “A jury can be swayed more by emotion than by law,” he said.

In Baltimore, Gray’s death sparked riots that tore the city apart, was blamed for an increase in violent crime and led to the dismissal of police chief Anthony Batts. The city agreed in September to pay Gray’s family $6.4 million to settle civil litigation in the case.

Hickenlooper: Geologist, owner of brewpub, governor ... veep?

NEW YORK Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper already may be able to claim the most unusual procession of jobs in American politics, from geologist to brewpub entrepreneur to mayor and governor.

And now vice president?

Hickenlooper, 64, sports a quirky name, a nerdy mien, a successful career in business and a governmental résumé that includes handling fires, floods and gun violence in a quintessential swing state.

His memoir, The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics, published Tuesday by Penguin Press, details his mother’s perseverance, the impact of the death of his father when Hickenlooper was just eight, and his struggle to find his own path.

By serendipity or not, the book’s publicity tour, launched Monday, also presents an opportunity for the two-term governor to showcase his willingness to make the case for likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and against likely Republican nominee Donald Trump, just the sort of task running mates typically are expected to perform. By the way, the first sentence of the book publicist’s pitch identifies him as “a solid contender to be the next vice president.”

“The president has to be someone that kids look up to,” Hickenlooper told Capital Download. “I mean, again, I don’t want to get political, but it’s that season. Do we want our kids looking up to someone like Donald Trump who really is kind of a bully and a blowhard; facts don’t really matter that much. ... That’s not who we want our kids to look up to.

We want someone like Hillary.

Gov. John Hickenlooper said he has not been contacted by the Clinton campaign. facts.”

As the public campaigns for the presidential nominations begin to wind down — although Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and many of his supporters aren’t ready to do that yet — the underground campaigns for the vice president are moving into a higher gear in both parties.

It is a peculiar contest, directed at an electorate of one, that requires demonstrating an ability to fulfill the job’s requirements while demurring open interest in it.

“I think the job would be challenging but certainly very interesting,” Hickenlooper told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series, quickly adding: “I love being the governor of Colorado,” extolling the state’s virtues and his own agenda, including in workforce development. “It would be very hard for me to leave Colorado, right?”

But he also said it would be “hard to say no” if asked to join the ticket, requiring first of all consultation with his wife, Robin, and 13-year-old son, Teddy. He

said he hasn’t been contacted by the Clinton campaign but would be willing to go through the vetting process, if asked.

In July, the Colorado governor plans to be at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia as a superdelegate who has endorsed Clinton. He’s fielding complaints from Sanders’ supporters who argue he should reflect the results of the Colorado Democratic caucuses in March, when the Vermont senator crushed Clinton by 19 percentage points.

“The superdelegates are specifically told ... you’re supposed to look at not the vote but the person who you think is best ready to be president,” he said. Clinton “is ready from Day One to walk into the Oval Office and know what to do.”

Eventually, Democrats will unite behind her, he predicts.

But on Sunday, the septuplets blended in with their peers as they walked onto the school’s football field for the graduation ceremony.

The school’s choirs sang songs, and student speakers Claire Birchmier and Brandon Bui, who also graduated, and faculty speaker Coy Hupfeld offered inspirational anecdotes and inside jokes before the students received their diplomas.

Alexis and Natalie McCaughey were among the students recognized as part of the National Honor Society. Natalie was also recognized as being part of the academic top 15% of

the class.

After the ceremony, the McCaugheys separated into a crowd of fellow students on the field, hugging and celebrating, before reuniting with their parents for a group photo of the siblings.

Days before the septuplets’ graduation week, the McCaughey family declined to be interviewed by media.

ROCKED AS MARKET ROLLED

S&P is down 4% since peak, but the beat goes on for these stalwarts Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

It has been a long 12 months with a lot of noise but no gain for most investors. But some stocks are rocking out anyway.

There are 10 stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that are up 40% or more since the market stalled out May 21, 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. These are the definitive standouts in a market that has frustrated investors with the lack of momentum and gains.

Since hitting its peak a year ago, the S&P 500 is down almost 4% — a loss that’s more than enough to wipe out the roughly 2% dividend yield investors got for being patient and staying invested. The disappointment is widespread, with six of the S&P’s 10 sectors in the red during that time and 116 members of the S&P 500 in a bear market with a loss of at least 20%, according to Howard Silverblatt of S&P Dow Jones Indices. Investors are fretting about everything: from what the presidential race will mean for stocks, growing threats the Federal Reserve may hike shortterm interest rates in the summer and slowing earnings growth.

But none of that seems to be affecting this select group that keeps rocking higher even as the rest of the market is covering its ears and bracing for the worst.

Nvidia, which makes a variety of computer chips for smartphones and high-end graphics applications, has soared 113% the past 12 months. The company, a traditional maker of chips used in

ROCKIN’ STOCKS Stocks up the most since S&P 500’s last high: % change since Company (ticker) May 21, 2015 Nvidia (NVDA) 112.9% Amazon.com (MZN) 61.7% Edwards 52.0% Lifesciences (EW) Tyson Foods (TSN) 49.4% Activision Blizzard (ATVI) 47.1% Facebook (FB) 44.2% TECO Energy (TE) 44.2% Global Payments (GPN) 42.4% Digital Realty Trust (DLR) 42.6% Cablevision 40.4% Systems (CVC) SOURCES: S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

... This select group keeps rocking higher even as the rest of the market is covering its ears and bracing for the worst. computer graphics, is tapping into soaring demand for highperformance computer chips used in “deep learning projects” and other advanced applications, according to a report from Michael McConnell, analyst at Pacific Crest. While earnings are contracting for the S&P 500 at large, Nvidia posted 40% higher adjusted profit in the April quarter of 46 cents a share, beating expectations by 12%, S&P Global says. Analysts expect the company’s adjusted profit per share to soar 22% this fiscal year.

Pity the poor retailer taking on Amazon. Amazon.com has been

ripping higher with profits that are on fire. Explosive profit and revenue growth has caused the company’s stock to soar 62% since the market peak. The massive stock-price gains mean Amazon is now worth $332 billion, valuing it 52% more than its chief rival, Walmart.

After Amazon’s huge profit gain in the first quarter, where it posted a profit of $513 million vs. a year-ago loss, investors’ biggest worry seems to be not owning the stock — despite its trailing priceto-earnings ratio of 290.

Technology is the sector with most of the big winners, accounting for four of the top 10.

But Edwards Lifesciences, a company developing treatments for heart disease, hasn’t been a slouch. Shares are up 52% from a year ago, and its adjusted profit soared 27% in the first quarter.

Meat producer Tyson Foods is up almost as much at 49%. That’s even after the World Health Organization cautioned less than a year ago that processed meat ranks with smoking as a cancer causing agent.

That’s not to say these stocks will keep cooking. Analysts have a $39.95 a share price target on Nvidia, which would be 10% lower than the stock’s closing price Monday of $44.40. But analysts see big upside in eight of the 10 winners of the past 12 months, with the highest hopes pinned on social media giant Facebook.

Analysts think Facebook — which is already up 44% the past 12 months to $115.97 — could be worth 22% more in 18 months.

For many investors, it has been a period of waiting and watching with nothing to show for it. But if there’s any consolation, it’s that stocks haven’t fallen much, either.

“It has been awhile, but flat is better than the bear,” Silverblatt says.

German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG is confident that its $62 billion bid for U.S. seed company Monsanto, announced Monday, will pass regulators’ scrutiny.

But investors’ response to the deal may suggest that Wall Street is not so sure.

Bayer is offering an all-cash deal to acquire the St. Louisbased company, which is the world’s largest seed provider.

Combining Bayer’s crop protection products with Monsanto’s seed offerings would create the world’s largest agricultural supplier with a strong global presence in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

“We have long respected Monsanto’s business and shared their vision of an integrated business that we believe is capable of generating substantial value for Bayer, Monsanto and all of our key stakeholders,” Bayer AG CEO Werner Baumann said on a conference call Monday.

Bayer would pay Monsanto shareholders $122 per share, a 37% premium over the closing price of $89.03 on May 9, the day before Bayer sent a written proposal to Monsanto, and more than 16% over its Friday closing price of $101.52.

JOHN MACDOUGALL, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Monsanto shares gained 4.4% to $106 Monday, well short of Bayer’s bid. Shares of Bayer fell 4.7% to $95.48 in U.S. trading.

That tepid response suggests concern about the likelihood of regulators’ approval. Bayer’s bid for Monsanto would be the third pending agribusiness and chemical merger in recent months.

In February, Chinese government-owned China National Chemical said it would buy Switzerland-based Syngenta for $43 billion. Dow Chemical and DuPont agreed in December to merge in a $69 billion deal that would create DowDuPont, which would then split into three separate companies, including one focused on agriculture.

“They might be confident, but we don’t think regulatory approval is a layup,” says Matt Arnold, materials analyst for Edward Jones. “This would make three significant transactions happening at the same time in the same marketplace. That likely makes regulatory scrutiny high.”

Or Monsanto may snub Bayer’s offer. “Bayer is offering Monsanto investors a healthy premium ... but there is a realistic possibility that the offer could be rejected as too low,” said Terrence Oved, partner of New York law firm Oved & Oved LLP.

Boeing, VietJet seal $11.3 billion aircraft deal

Vietnamese airline’s purchase gives boost to U.S. manufacturer Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Boeing and VietJet on Monday finalized an $11.3 billion order for the Vietnamese airline to buy 100 of the U.S. aircraft manufacturing giant’s jets, the largest purchase of its kind in Vietnam aviation history.

Signed in conjunction with

President Obama’s visit to Vietnam, the deal gives a financial boost to Boeing, which in January said it would cut production of its wide-body 747-8 jets amid weaker demand in the air cargo sector.

The pact signals VietJet’s plans to expand in Asia’s growing tourism and travel market.

Boeing shares rose 0.2% to $127.58 Monday after the news.

The Chicago-based aircraft manufacturer said it would deliver the single-aisle 737 MAX 200 jets from 2019 through 2023. The purchases will enable VietJet to increase its fleet to more than 200 aircraft, the companies said.

LUONG THAI LINH, EPA

President Obama hopes he and Vietnam President Tran Dai Quang can form closer ties between the countries.

“Incorporating the latest design and technology features, the highly efficient 737 MAX 200 will provide VietJet’s growing network with market-leading economics, a superior passenger experience and contribute significantly to their future success,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner said in a statement.

Madam Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, VietJet’s CEO, said in an official statement the investment would “accommodate our strategy of growing VietJet’s coming international route network, including long haul flights.”

Additionally, she said the deal would speed the development of the Asian nation’s aviation industry, as well as contribute to “increasing bilateral trade between the U.S. and Vietnam.”

The sale agreement comes more than 40 years after the end of the Vietnam War, a Cold War struggle in which more than 3 million people died, including 58,000 Americans.

The U.S. and Vietnam have moved toward closer diplomatic and business ties in recent years amid a fractious relationship between the Asian nation and neighboring giant China.

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

The stock market was sleepy Monday, kicking off the week like a lazy summer day. But it’s game on again Tuesday, as Wall Street gets fresh data on sales of new homes and earnings results from companies that sell auto parts, TVs and electronic gadgets.

Data, of course, remains king.

The reason: The Fed is looking at incoming data, and if gauges come in strong between now and its next two-day meeting June 1415, the U.S. central bank could finally pull the trigger and hike interest rates for the first time this year.

On the housing front, April new-home-sales data is released at 10 a.m. ET Tuesday. Investors are looking for improvement af-

Access to reports doesn’t have to be difficult Q: How can I get analyst reports?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you’re a stock picker, you need as much help as you can get. Analyst reports can be useful. But getting these reports can be tricky.

Research reports from major investment firms are typically given only to existing customers. If you’re not a client of the investment firms, you might not have ready access to the reports. That puts individual investors who pick stocks at a bit of an informational disadvantage because these documents can contain useful information about stocks’ valuations or about their competitive standing.

There are ways to get some, but not all, of these reports short of opening accounts at the brokerage firms. If you’re just looking for analyst reports that affect stocks, you might not need the reports. Some Wall Street firms provide their analyses to the media after they’re given to clients. If a stock makes a big move on information in a report, you will likely find news reports summarizing the key points of the research.

Also, most major online discount brokerage firms, including TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab, provide access to some reports to clients at no cost. You may not find the report from the brokerage firm you wanted, but there are usually a number of research providers, so you can get the insights you’re looking for.

Gannett threatens to pull revised offer to Tribune after rejection Roger Yu and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

Shares of Tribune Publishing fell more than 15% Monday after the Los Angeles Times owner rejected the revised, $15-per-share acquisition offer from Gannett, driving the owner of USA TODAY to review whether to possibly withdraw its offer.

Tribune’s board determined that Gannett’s offer was “not in the best interests of Tribune shareholders but invited Gannett to agree to a mutual non-disclo-

sure agreement under which both parties could engage in due diligence and discussions” for a deal, Tribune said.

Chicago-based Tribune also erected another hurdle for Gannett by issuing 4.7 million new shares, a 12.9% stake, and selling them for $70.5 million to Nant Capital, a firm founded by Los Angeles-based billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong. The investment values Tribune at $15 per share, the same as Gannett’s offer, and assures Soon-Shiong would be in the corner of Tribune Chairman Michael Ferro as he continues to resist Gannett’s current offer.

Soon-Shiong, also a minority owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, was named Tribune’s vice chairman of the board, the latest board change Billionaire Ferro has made Patrick in recent weeks.

Soon-Shiong Ferro and Soon-Shiong now own about 30% of Tribune.

Gannett said it “will review whether to proceed with its acquisition offer” given the latest

developments. “Tribune has continued to take actions that Gannett believes are designed to convey disproportionate control of the enterprise to select stockholders while ignoring its duties to all Tribune stockholders,” Gannett said. “Tribune again changed the composition of its board without stockholder participation.”

Shares of Tribune fell 15% and closed at $12.09.

A week ago, Gannett, which owns more than 100 local news properties, raised its bid from $12.25 per share, hoping to get an agreement from Tribune’s man-

agement, which has been unwilling to engage in serious negotiation since Gannett privately approached Tribune on April 12.

The revised offer values Tribune, whose holdings include the Chicago Tribune and nine other dailies, at about $479 million.

Gannett offered to assume about $385 million of Tribune’s debt, valuing the total deal at about $864 million. The heightened offer represents a premium of 99% to Tribune’s closing price of $7.52 per share on April 22, the last trading day before Gannett revealed its offer.

or what seems like the first time in years, the song-ofsummer crown is completely up for grabs.

Typically by mid-May, we’re able to spot the ubiquitous pop anthem that will come to define the warm-weather months. Last year, it was Felix Jaehn’s remix of OMI’s Cheerleader, which Billboard dubbed an early favorite due to its surging sales and radio airplay. In years prior, Iggy Azalea’s Fancy and Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe already had a clear lead on the competition: charting in the top five of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart at this point, on their way to seven- and nine-week reigns at No. 1, respectively.

But this year, a trio of songs are neck-and-neck for the title: Desiigner’s viral hit Panda, Drake’s stream-heavy One Dance, and Justin Timberlake’s sales-driven Can’t Stop the Feeling (his first to debut at No. 1). All three have topped the Hot 100 for at least one week this past month, and with just-released singles from Ariana Grande (Into You) and Adele (Send My Love) entering the fray, the race is wide open.

Experts say the increasingly fragmented media landscape could be changing the scope of the songof-summer phenomenon.

“It’s definitely a different ani-

mal,” says Jason Lipshutz, Fuse Media’s deputy editor of digital, who notes the growing divide between artists people talk about online (Beyoncé, Chance the Rapper) and listen to on radio (Lukas Graham, Mike Posner).

With such a crowded landscape, “I don’t think there’s as much of a fuss about what the official song of summer is anymore,” he adds. “People kind of remember OMI’s Cheerleader as last year’s summer song, but also (Wiz Khalifa’s) See You Again was there, Fifth Harmony’s Worth It — there was a lot of stuff. It’s more prevalent when there’s something that’s absolutely inescapable, but I feel like that hasn’t happened” since Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines or Katy Perry’s California Gurls. “I’m not sure there’s anything this year that’s going to be absolutely dominant like that, but if there is, my money’s on One Dance.”

John Ivey, program director at Los Angeles’ KIIS FM, has Timberlake’s Feeling as his song-of-summer pick. “It reminds me of Pharrell’s Happy before you got tired of Happy,” Ivey says. “It’s super-easy to remember and just a perfect pop record.”

Timberlake has the song of summer, it’d break the recent streak of newcomers to take the badge — most of whom have either fallen off due to backlash (Azalea, Thicke) or failed to chart with followup singles (OMI, Jepsen).

While some have chalked it up to a song-of-summer “curse,” Lipshutz says the hit-and-miss careers of former champs are merely part of pop music’s unpredictable nature.

“We’ve seen artists score that huge hit in the summer, and frantically try to forge a career out of that one song,” Lipshutz says.

“You have success stories like Meghan Trainor, who had her debut single (All About That Bass) go No. 1, and follow it up with a bunch of other hits. Then you have an artist like Magic!, who had the song of summer 2014 (Rude), but are not on anyone’s radar right now.”

Whether or not a song of summer can spell career longevity, the trend around it, at least, is here to stay.

“People like talking about things that are shared experiences, and there are increasingly fewer of those, with culture being so fragmented,” Lipshutz says. “Even if you’re not a pop music fan, you know what song is inescapable just by being around a radio and watching TV. It’s something everybody can have an opinion on.”

The business of TV is, increasingly, business.

Entrepreneurship is the star of a growing advise-and-invest reality genre highlighted by ABC’s Shark Tank business competition; a CNBC lineup that looks at a range of businesses; and cable offshoots that focus on technology development (TBS’s America’s Greatest Makers) and small businesses with limited access to bank loans (Discovery’s Blue Collar Backers).

Makers and Shark Tank executive producer Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice) says the ingenuity rewarded in these shows reflects the American ethos.

“It’s the most entrepreneurial nation in the world,” he says.

Shark Tank (Fridays, 9 ET/PT), which features a panel of business successes deciding whether to invest in budding entrepreneurs, has blossomed on ABC, with reruns ranking as business news-oriented CNBC’s top-rated series. Makers, airing its first-season finale Tuesday, 9 ET/PT is a multiplatform, Intel-partnered

MICHAEL DESMOND, ABC

Barbara Corcoran, Kevin O’Leary and Lori Greiner are the successful business people who decide what to invest in on Shark Tank, the prototype for reality entrepreneur shows. technology competition with a $1 million grand prize.

“We’re focused on the techmaker community and we have something no one else can provide: the brain-power and muscle of Intel,” Burnett says of Makers.

“You have the chance to really launch a company.”

Americans have become more familiar with real-world business investment, and that increases viewer interest.

“Entrepreneurship has gotten more sexy,” says Laura Huang, professor of management and entrepreneurship at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. “People love to see new ideas and dialogue between the investors and the entrepreneurs.”

Many of the programs, including CNBC’s The Profit and West Texas Investors Club, parallel real-life angel investors in a promising business.

The appeal goes beyond the technicalities of launching a business, says Jim Ackerman, who oversees primetime alternative programming at CNBC. “These shows are about creativity and self-expression,” he says. “They’re happening at a time when there’s more debt within families, more insecurity in your job, less faith in big institutions and a growing emphasis on self.”

CNBC has sharpened the entrepreneurial focus in a range of programs, including Restaurant Startup; Billion Dollar Buyer,

which invests in suppliers in the hospitality industry; and West Texas, where financial decisions are made far from Manhattan or Silicon Valley.

CNBC’s upcoming Cleveland Hustles will give entrepreneurs the chance to revitalize a city neighborhood, aided by business experts, with local NBA superstar LeBron James as an executive producer.

The CNBC shows try to go beyond the win/lose of competition to illuminate the challenges facing successful businesses, even when they have financial backing, Ackerman says. “They are creating real opportunity for people, but there’s the high chance of failure as well.”

Discovery’s Blue Collar Backers, due Aug. 26, focuses on cases where banks reject the majority of loan applications, and promises “a new breed of investors” will offer money and sweat equity to promising proposals.

Backers investor and Cruising Kitchens owner Cameron Davies, a successful maker of food trucks and customized vehicles, knows the challenges.

“Once I had a business that was successful, I have taken my money and started backing these small businesses that can’t go to a bank” for a loan, says Davies.

Could Backers have helped him earlier in his career? “Absolutely 100,000%.”

‘It rules every waking moment for people’

Are you ready for Don’t Fry Day?

Poverty and health: a first-person view

awrence resident Elizabeth O’Brien, 71, volunteers at Just Food, Douglas County’s food bank.

She describes the pantry as a godsend, especially when she lost her job just 18 months before retirement at age 64.

“It was devastating,” she said, of the job loss. “I learned early on to gracefully accept help. That was hard for me.”

At age 30, O’Brien was divorced with two children, ages 8 and 3. She went from having a nice home, two cars and taking family vacations to living in a motel and then an apartment. One evening, a neighbor stopped by and caught her splitting a can of green beans for the family meal.

“She freaked out,” O’Brien said.

O’Brien still struggles financially, but said she is

making ends meet with careful budgeting and accessing community resources like the food pantry. She’s not alone.

Last year, 11,577 Douglas County residents used the pantry.

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department Director Dan Partridge said poverty is more prevalent in Douglas County than most people think.

“People often think of poverty as homelessness,” Partridge said, “but there are people struggling in places that you might not expect.”

Nineteen percent of Douglas County residents — nearly 1 in 5 — are living at the federal poverty level, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

For an individual, that is an annual income of $11,880 or less. For a family of three, that is $20,160 or less. Thirty-eight percent of Douglas County schoolchildren are living near the poverty level, low enough to qualify for the free- and reduced-price lunch program.

“

I think poverty has long-lasting effects on children. It can be overwhelming for the children to stand by and watch the stress, constant worrying and anger of the situation.

You pile all of that stress up, and it becomes toxic.”

Poverty is one of the five priority issues outlined in the community health plan, “Roadmap for a Healthier Douglas County,” that has been adopted by the Douglas County Commission and cities of Baldwin City, Eudora, Lawrence and Lecompton.

They use the plan as a guiding document when making policy and funding decisions.

Oncology, underscore how extensively public health measures aimed at fostering healthful lifestyles could cut into a disease that will claim the lives of 600,000 Americans this year and upend the lives of 1.6 million by turning them into newly diagnosed patients.

The new analysis was based on cancer rates and health behaviors in two large and long-running studies of health professionals

— the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The researchers, from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, also used data from the National Cancer Institute’s comprehensive Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.

The effect of a healthful lifestyle varied according to gender and cancer type. For instance, women who followed the strictures

on smoking, drinking, weight and exercise could reduce their lung cancer risk by 85 percent and their colorectal cancer risk by 60 percent. For men, the corresponding figures were 90 percent and 50 percent.

The researchers also calculated that women who took good care of themselves could reduce their risk of pancreatic cancer by 53 percent, Please see CANCER, page 2C

The Friday before Memorial Day — this year, May 27 — is known as Don’t Fry Day. This day is to emphasize awareness of the importance of sun protection.

Here are some facts and information to help you learn more about keeping yourself safe from the sun’s damaging effects.

According to the American Cancer Society, each year more than 2 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer, the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States. It is estimated that by age 65, 50 percent of people will have had at least one skin cancer. Another 60,000 people are diagnosed yearly with melanoma, a more serious cancer. Both of these cancers have a strong causal link to excess sun exposure.

In addition to these two cancers, cumulative unprotected sun exposure can cause cataracts in the eye, immune system deficits and premature skin aging and damage. Wrinkling, loss of skin elasticity, age spots and other skin lesions are all results of too much sun.

“Slip, Slap, Slop and Wrap” is a public health education campaign originally developed in Australia in 1981 and adopted by the American Cancer Society a few years ago.

Slip: Protect as much Please see FRY, page 2C

At Kennedy, 165 students — 74 percent — qualify for a free lunch and about 50 students receive backpacks of food to take home for the weekend. “I’ve seen children hoard food from their lunch because they’re not sure what they might have that night,” Lopez Anderson said, teary-eyed. “I have kids who, when it gets cold, are relieved because their water and heat can’t be turned off.”

Lopez Anderson said poverty could strike anybody at any given time. It struck her family as a child.

“It took my parents a lot to go get food commodities,” she said. “That’s not something they did without a lot of thought and only as a last resort would they do that. There are a lot of families out there who are proud, and they don’t want to be viewed as bad or lazy adults.”

The school has started a “Communities in School” program, and a staff member provides case management for about 70 students and their families, connecting them to community resources and services they need, which includes mentoring and tutoring support.

The goal is to make sure students don’t fall behind in schoolwork and graduate from high school.

“It’s exciting to be able to hear kids be able to dream

— not just giving up,” Lopez Anderson said.

Lopez Anderson is encouraging her staff and others to participate in the upcoming Poverty Simulation workshop. “I just think it’s important information and a community dialogue that we need to be involved in.”

The Health Department, United Way of Douglas County, Communities in Schools of Mid-America, Independence Inc. and ECKAN are hosting the workshop, which is free and open to anyone. Erika Dvorske, president and CEO of United Way of Douglas County, said the workshop would benefit anyone — volunteers, business leaders, philanthropists, decisionmakers and those living in poverty.

“Poverty is complex, and it affects all of us,” Dvorske said. “It’s not going to be one agency or one program that’s going to fix all of these problems. We really have to work together.”

To participate in the free workshop, visit VolunteerDouglasCounty. org and click on poverty simulation, email volunteer@unitedwaydgco.org or call 843-6626. Youth, ages 15 and younger, should be accompanied by an adult. Participants need to sign up by June 2.

A minimum of 44 people are needed to hold the workshop.

Cancer

The study’s findings present a significant challenge to research published last year that said as many as 80 percent of cancers might be attributable to factors beyond the control of individuals — the “bad luck” hypothesis.

Instead, the new research offers evidence that bad behavior trumps bad luck as a cause of cancer.

The results suggest the most effective way to fight cancer is to promote healthful habits that foster cancer prevention.

Doing so could reap even greater gains than investing in biomedical research to improve cancer vaccines and therapies, the strategy embodied in President Barack Obama’s recently announced “Cancer Moonshot” initiative.

“Primary prevention should remain a priority for cancer control,” wrote the study authors, Drs. Mingyang Song and Edward Giovannucci.

Changing Americans’ unhealthful habits may

seem an easier task than inventing new cancerfighting strategies in the lab. But to reap the remarkable gains seen in the study, Americans would need to make remarkable turnarounds.

About 17 percent of adults in the United States — roughly 40 million Americans — continued to smoke cigarettes in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and at least a fifth of U.S. adults have a history of smoking.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping babies under six months out of the sun and protecting them with shade, a UPF umbrella and clothing. At age six months, sunscreen designed for children may be used.

It is still always best to limit sun exposure.

dog owners to behave?

— Totally Confused Dear Confused: Are there laws in your “friendly’’ town that prohibit dogs from using private lawns? If so, report each incident to the police. Another option is to go outside whenever you see someone coming with their dog and not leave until the owners pass by completely. However, you can’t always be there each time, so here are some other

‘The Voice’ crowns its winner A winner emerges on the season finale of “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). The popular talent competition remains one of NBC’s success stories.

Talent shows, “Sunday Night Football” and Dick Wolf’s fourseries “Chicago” empire make up a major chunk of NBC’s schedule. The feel-good “Little Big Shots” was a pleasant surprise for the network this year.

Even when NBC was languishing in the ratings cellar, the summer talent/variety show “America’s Got Talent” attracted healthy audiences.

“The Voice” was not only a dependable hit, it helped propel NBC’s “Blindspot” to modest success. Next season, the tattoo-mystery series will have to stand or fall on its own. It will air at 7 p.m., on Wednesday nights, the spot where the justcanceled “Mysteries of Laura” languished.

A recap of last night’s “Voice” (7 p.m.) performances also airs.

O A tale of a mysterious giant pyramid and at least two apocalyptic moments, tonight’s “Secrets of the Dead” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) uncovers a rare moment in archaeology — a breakthrough in our understanding of a lost culture.

Two thousand years ago, Mexico’s Teotihuacan was one of the biggest urban centers in the world. Its giant pyramid rivaled those of Egypt. But at some point, the urban center was abandoned. Every civilization from the Aztecs to the present has found the site to be a giant mystery. How and why was it built? And why and when was it abandoned?

Tonight’s “Secrets” profiles archaeologist Dr. Sergio Gomez Chavez, who has descended into recently revealed tunnels to uncover mosaic walls, statuary and architectural patterns that may explain much about the lost people. And a forensic examination of the many bones found beneath the site offers clues as to why people migrated to Teotihuacan and why they may have left, perhaps burning down much of the city behind them.

This “Secrets” offers a compelling story of an unfamiliar city and a lost people, and a civilization that may have vanished due to cataclysmic climate change.

Tonight’s other highlights

O A stand-up gesture on

“Fresh Off the Boat” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

O A roadblock for Zoom on “The Flash” (7 p.m., CW, TVPG).

Here is my advice for what you can say: “I’m sorry about your loss.’’ Include the person’s name or their relationship if you can.

Whatever your version of “I’m sorry,’’ be it in the form of a hug or in words, is perfect. That’s it. That’s enough. It doesn’t matter how the person died. However, if you have an anecdotal story about this person, please share it.

In general, a softness emanates from you, which is helpful, as those around you could be challenging, angry or touchy. If you are single, the person you choose might be very demanding, especially if you meet him or her before October.

Nevertheless, you are likely to experience great comfort with this person. If you are attached, there is a lot of emphasis on your domestic life through September.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You will be more positive and expressive of your feelings in the next few weeks. Tonight: Out late.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You could have many strong feelings. You easily could go overboard. Tonight: Opt to be a duo.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ One-on-one relating results in much better interactions than when you’re in a group.

Tonight: All smiles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Others have a nice way of expressing their caring. Your hesitancy could worry people.

Tonight: Accept a suggestion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ A friend expresses his or her thoughts, which could be

flattering to you. Tonight: Where the action is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Try a new approach or a different suggestion. Pressure builds to act very confident.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ Remain secure within your immediate circle. Open up to an offer that seems demanding.

Tonight: Mosey on home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ You are willing to speak your mind, but will others listen? Tonight: Respond to someone’s request.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You might come off more strongly than you had intended. Rethink your word choice.

Tonight: Avoid a quarrel that is a no-win situation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You could feel re-energized and understood. You might be unusually gracious. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You have a way of communicating that baffles many yet draws others toward you. Tonight: Lighten up the mood.

Dear Annie: We live in a friendly town. Yet, we have some residents who are terribly disrespectful people of other people’s property.

We’ve had dogs and love dogs, but we would never think of taking our dog to our neighbor’s lawn to do its duty. We’ve consulted several experts and they all say that the dog’s urine can cause brown spots on the lawn. We even paid to have new sod put in.

We’ve asked people not to do this, but the minute our back is turned, they ignore us.

We aren’t allowed to put up “No Dogs Allowed’’ signs, so that doesn’t help. But we have a number of dog parks these folks can use instead of our lawn.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

If Big 12 expands, Florida is the place The smart money says that status quo will prevail at expansion discussions among Big 12 presidents/ chancellors and athletic directors next week in Dallas.

A 10-team conference makes the most sense in part because there aren’t two schools interested in joining the Big 12 that could do anything but dilute the quality of the conference. As for the long term, there is a duo worth studying intensely to see if their addition could lead to exciting growth for the conference.

Neither South Florida nor Central Florida in tandem with a school outside the state of Florida could generate much of a buzz. But bring them both into the conference several years down the road and things become interesting, very interesting.

Coming off an 0-12 season, Central Florida had a pivotal hire to make and turned a lot of heads when it landed high-profile assistant coach Scott Frost, a former Nebraska quarterback and NFL safety.

Frost left Oregon, where he had been an assistant coach for seven seasons, the last three as offensive coordinator at a program that prides itself on using speed and fast tempo to run up big scores.

Frost has had other opportunities but opted for the Orlando-based university for the same reason Central Florida should intrigue bigger conferences as a possible addition. He saw great potential for growth.

“One of the things that drew me to the job is I knew I could run a version of our offense that was practically identical to Oregon because we can recruit that type of player here,” Frost told USA Today in a recent Q&A. “...

In Orlando, Florida, there (are) fast guys in high schools in every direction in close proximity that are already running systems in high school that are similar to this and should want to play in it.”

South Florida is in Tampa and has similar recruiting advantages. The density of population, as compared to many of the college towns that make up the Big 12, would give both Florida schools a shot at making up ground on schools with richer traditions.

The chance to play against giants such as Oklahoma and Texas, which would grow even bigger in the eyes of recruits once they play a game every year in Florida, would increase the chances of the two schools landing big-time recruits.

Big cities translate to big numbers in the allimportant television-sets category. Nielsen ranks Tampa-St. Petersburg as the 14th-largest Designated Market Area in the country, Orlando-Daytona BeachMelbourne as 19th. Interesting, very interesting.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S KYLEIGH SEVERA HITS THE GROUND in the long-jump event during the Class 6A regional meet Friday at ODAC.

Senior Severa serves as an inspiration

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Before the first football practice of the summer last year, Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd looked up into the stands and saw Kyleigh Severa running up and down the stadium stairs.

Wedd chuckles at the memory. Two days earlier, Severa was celebrating a Class 6A track and field state championship, the first state title for the girls track team since 1979. And yet, there she was running stairs at 7 a.m., already preparing for volley-

ball and the next track season.

“I just stopped and brought the team together,” Wedd recalled, “and told them, ‘That’s a state champion there. That’s our whole goal.

We need to learn from that.’”

Severa’s goal is to bring back more medals this weekend. She qualified for the Class 6A state meet in three events: 200-meter dash, long jump and the 4x400 relay.

The state meet begins at 8 a.m. Friday at Wichita State’s Cessna Stadium.

For the past three years, Severa looked up to the team’s

seniors. After last year’s state meet, she realized it was her turn to help lead the rest of the team, which started with the first day of the offseason and running stairs in the morning. She was the school’s only returner who scored points at state.

“Everyone always tells me, ‘Take a week off. Take a break. You need your body to rest,’” Severa said. “I’m just, like, I can’t sit in my house and watch other people get better. I have to go out and do something and get better myself.”

At last week’s regional,

Severa finished runner-up in the 200 in a season-best 25.40 seconds. It was the sixth-fastest time recorded in the state this year, and she will be seeded second at state.

Severa, who has signed to compete at Wichita State next year, took third in the long jump with her best leap at 17 feet, 6.5 inches. She hopes to jump beyond 18 feet this week, especially after taking second at state in the event last season.

Liberty transfer Maxwell signs with KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Good college basketball coaches/recruiters have connections in the sport all over the country.

One of those relationships helped Kansas University’s basketball program become aware of the availability of former Liberty University forward Evan Maxwell, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound sophomore who committed to KU on May 13 and on Monday officially was introduced as a Jayhawk signee by head Photo Courtesy of Lynchburg (Va.) News & Advance coach Bill Self.

LIBERTY’S EVAN MAXWELL (15) GETS FOULED GOING UP FOR A SHOT against William “I talked to a friend of mine & Mary on Nov. 17, 2015, in Lynchburg, Va. Maxwell, a 6-foot-10 sophomore big who coached against him. I man, signed with Kansas University on Monday. said, ‘We’re looking for a big

guy.’ He said, ‘There’s a big guy who played at Liberty.

He had a good game against Notre Dame (15 points, eight rebounds). He’s good,’” KU assistant coach Norm Roberts said Monday.

“We saw him on Synergy (Sports Technology, which tapes games), watched the shots he made, the shots he missed, how he moved and ran. We saw he had a nice touch, can score from 15, score in close. We made a tape and gave it to coach Self, brought Evan in for a visit. He’s a great kid from a great family, and we think will be a great ambassador Please see HOOPS, page 3D

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After five years as a player and 10 more working various jobs in the athletic department, Banks Floodman is leaving Kansas University.

Floodman, a Wichita na-

tive and former KU linebacker, is taking a job with the Sunflower Development Group, a real estate company based in Kansas City that focuses on commercial and residential projects in urban settings.

“It was not an easy decision to leave KU, and it’s

still not easy,” Floodman told the Journal-World. “It’s the only thing I know, and I’m very passionate about it and always will be.”

Floodman will begin his new job June 7.

After finishing his football career in 2005, Floodman worked as a graduate

assistant in the ticket office, licensing and marketing departments for three years before joining KU Athletics full time in 2008.

Raptors fight back to even

Toronto (ap) — A series that once looked lopsided is now even.

Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, including a driving layup in the final minute, and DeMar DeRozan had 32 as the Toronto Raptors evened the Eastern Conference Finals by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-99 in Game 4 on Monday night.

DeMarre Carroll scored 11 points, and Bismack Biyombo had 14 rebounds as Toronto improved to 8-2 at home this postseason and got back on level terms after big losses in Games 1 and 2.

“We’ve been counted out, and we like that challenge,” DeRozan said.

The next challenge for Toronto? Game 5 on Wednesday night in Cleveland, where the Raptors are 0-3 this season, losing by a combined 72 points.

“We have to continue to make sure that when they punch, we punch back,” Lowry said. “And if they punch three times, we punch four times.”

The Raptors are 2-6 on the road in the playoffs.

After a 10-0 start to these playoffs, the Cavaliers are counting on home court advantage to help them reach their second straight Finals.

“Going back home we have to play a lot better and I think we will,” LeBron James said.

Cleveland lost consecutive playoff games to an Eastern Conference opponent for the first time since dropping the final three games of the conference semifinals to Boston in 2010.

“We had a few defensive breakdowns that you can’t have down the stretch of a game, especially in the playoffs,” Cavs NBA coach Tyronn Lue said. “They Warriors’ Green executed every time we made fined, not suspended a mistake.”

But Green will be on the court The Raptors led 78-69 to bewhen the Warriors try to even gin the fourth but Frye made the Western Conference finals at consecutive three-pointers as 2-2 today at Oklahoma City.

Cleveland opened the final Paris — So, Stan Wawrinka was asked, were you aware that in the long history of the French Open, no defending champion ever had lost in the first round?

“No,” Wawrinka replied quickly, his arms crossed, the hint of a smirk on his scruffy face.

After waiting a comedic beat, he added with a chuckle: “And it’s still not the case, so it’s good.”

Sure, by then, it was easy for the 2015 champion at Roland Garros to kid around, because he barely avoided making the sort of history no athlete would embrace.

Eventually warming up on a gray, chilly afternoon, and twice coming back from a set down, Wawrinka edged 59th-ranked Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Monday to sneak into the second round.

Something similar transpired several hours later, when No. 2 Andy Murray faced an even greater deficit, dropping the first two sets against 128th-ranked qualifier Radek Stepanek, who at 37 is the oldest man in the field. Their match didn’t finish, though, suspended until today because of darkness.

After the net-charging Stepanek raced to a 6-3, 6-3 lead, his legs began to falter, and Murray started to work his way back.

The two-time major champion took the third set 6-0, and was up a break at 4-2 in the fourth when they stopped.

There were no bracket-busting stunners, but the surprises included 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic’s 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 loss to 166th-ranked qualifier Marco Trungelliti of Argentina.

Four seeded women exited, most notably No. 7 Roberta Vinci, the Italian who ended Serena Williams’ Grand Slam bid at last year’s U.S. Open.

Minneapolis (ap) — Salvador Perez had a career-high five hits, including a double, a triple and an RBI, to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 10-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.

Paulo Orlando added three hits and two RBIs in the raindelayed game for the Royals, who put All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon on the disabled list on Monday because of a fractured right wrist.

Ricky Nolasco (1-3) gave up six runs on eight hits and struck out three in 22⁄3 innings for the Twins (11-33), who have the worst record in the majors.

Peter Moylan (1-0) picked up the win in relief of Ian Kennedy, who gave up two runs on five hits in 31⁄3 innings of a start that had to be cut short thanks to the 41-minute rain delay in the third inning.

The Royals pounded out 17 hits, including two from Lorenzo Cain, who gutted out the whole game after fouling a ball off his left knee.

Joe Mauer had three hits, including a solo home run in the first inning for the Twins.

Manager Paul Molitor gave slumping veteran Brian Dozier the night off, the latest in a series of moves by him aimed at igniting the Twins’ stagnant offense. They put two on the board in the first inning, but Nolasco gave it right back.

for Kansas basketball,” Roberts added.

Maxwell — he attended Abington Heights High in Clarks Summit, Pa. — was pursued by Virginia Tech, Baylor, Arizona and Cincinnati — after announcing plans to leave Liberty where he averaged 10.0 points and 4.8 points a game his sophomore season.

“What we saw in Evan was a young man that is very skilled,” Self said.

“He needs strength development that I think will come naturally. I think he will be a guy, barring any unforeseen things happening, that spends a ton of time in the weight room and will be playing against really good players in practice every day.

He’ll learn how to be a go-to-guy offensively in practice and a guy that can give us a lot of added depth up front when he becomes eligible the next year.”

He can practice but not play in games until 201718 in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.

This is all a dream come true for Maxwell,

by far the most important post-graduation role he has had as a Jayhawk.

During that time, he was the driving force behind some of the most visible on-campus projects, including the construction of the McCarthy Hall basketball dorm, the DeBruce Center, which houses James Naismith’s original rules of basketball, and, most recently, a $2 million upgrade to the Anderson Family Football Complex, which is ongoing and will be completed in time for the 2016 season.

“Banks has done an exceptional job leading the Williams Fund,” said KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger. “There have been a number of people over time who have had that role, and he would be at the head of the pack. We are extremely grateful for all of the roles he played during his time at KU.”

who was recruited only

by Liberty and Monmouth coming out of high school.

“I committed very early in the process to Liberty before any of the bigger offers even could have come,” Maxwell told the Journal-World.

“I knew I needed to grow as a person and get my life together. (Coach) Ritchie McKay and the whole staff there were fantastic.

“My time there I did exactly what I needed to do, grew up, got stronger as a player and as a man. I’m mentally prepared for what is next.

It’s not something, ‘Oh man I didn’t know if I could play at Kansas.’

I knew ever since high school I could play. It’s a fantastic opportunity.

It couldn’t have worked out any better. Obviously I didn’t know what to expect going into this transfer thing. I am honored to say I belong to the best program in the country.”

Maxwell, who started all but one game last season, led Liberty in scoring eight times, including four 20-point games.

He had three doubledoubles, including a career-high 24 points, with 12 rebounds on Dec. 3

Floodman’s ascension to the top of the Williams Fund — his official title is Senior Associate Athletic Director for Revenue Development — occurred quickly.

After spending six to eight months as part of a trio of interim directors, he was promoted to the lead role because he “shined” during that time.

His passion for KU and ability to communicate both with donors and student-athletes about the importance of what the Williams Fund offers made the job a perfect fit. A natural leader from his three seasons as team captain under former KU football coach Mark Mangino, Floodman also offered valuable guidance for his 18-person staff. Even while leading the department to some big days, Floodman chose first to compliment those around him.

“The thing I’m most proud of is, I always love when you see staff exceed their own expectations,”

at Radford. He led the Flames in rebounding 13 times, including a careerbest 13 rebounds versus Central Penn on Nov. 21.

As a freshman, Maxwell averaged 6.0 minutes, 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 29 games.

“Norm was the point guy in recruiting Evan,” Self said. “Evan and his mom and dad, Brian and Andrea, really enjoyed the place and had a great visit. Evan had an opportunity to go to a lot of places and we feel fortunate that he chose Kansas to spend his next three years.”

Maxwell joins a recruiting class for KU that includes guard Josh Jackson, center Udoka Azubuike and forward Mitch Lightfoot. l

Porter cuts KU: Michael Porter, a 6-8 forward from Tolton Catholic in Columbia, Mo., on Monday cut KU, Kentucky and Duke from his list of schools. Rivals.com’s No. 2 rated player in the Class of 2017 has a list of Washington, Missouri, Indiana, Virginia and Oklahoma.

Porter played for MoKan Elite on Saturday in the KC Classic in Lawrence.

Washington is considered a heavy favorite to land Porter because his

he said. “Some people weren’t comfortable asking for big gifts, and we collectively were able to fully fund all of those projects in a matter of about 12 months. We’ve got a great staff and a lot of hard-working people in that office. There are a lot of different personalities in there, and they’re all very good.”

Floodman, who will continue to live in Olathe with his wife, Erica, and son, Pierce, said the thought of moving on from athletics had created some nervous nights, but the opportunity to work with a close friend and take on a new challenge was worth the leap.

“All I know is athletics,” he said. “So it’s gonna be a total gamechanger, which I think is part of what intrigues me about this. I’ve always wondered what life after sports was gonna be like.”

Floodman may be leaving KU as an employee, but he vowed to continue to support the school he

dad, Michael, Sr., has accepted a coaching position on the Huskie staff.

UW coach Lorenzo Romar is Michael Jr.’s godfather. Porter’s brother, Jontay, a junior-to-be forward, has already committed to UW. Porter wants to attend the same college as Trae Young, 6-1 from Norman, Okla. Young is considering KU, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, Washington and others. l

KU to play UK in rematch: CBSsports.com has acquired the pairings for the 2016-17 Big 12/SEC Challenge. The one-day event (no date has been revealed) will include just one rematch from a year ago. KU, as has been reported many times, will travel to Kentucky in a return game.

The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats, 90-84. in overtime, on Jan. 31, in Allen Fieldhouse. CBS says the other games are: Texas at Georgia; Baylor at Mississippi; Texas A&M at West Virginia; Iowa State at Vanderbilt; Kansas State at Tennessee; Florida at Oklahoma; Auburn at TCU; Arkansas at Oklahoma State and LSU at Texas Tech.

loves both as a fan and in any other way he can envision. Asked to pinpoint the biggest challenge facing his successor, Floodman did not hesitate to answer.

“Making sure we get football on the right track is priority 1, 2 and 3, far and away,” Floodman said. “It has to be. It is the most important thing that the department and even the university will address in the next few years.”

Zenger said he and his staff already had begun the process of identifying the next Williams Fund director and sounded optimistic about his options.

“We intend to have his replacement hired at the latest by Aug. 1, and it could easily be sooner than that,” Zenger said.

“In the meantime, (assistant AD for development) Pat Henderson, who has been with the department for over a decade, will be the interim director and I’m very comfortable with him at the helm during this time.”

the lights, the more she competes,” LHS coach Jack Hood said. “It’s amazing to see it. She’s a competitive kid.”

Along with her individual events, Severa has the opportunity to win her fourth straight state title in the 4X400 relay. It’s one of the most hyped events at LHS, and with her three fellow relay runners graduated, Severa passed along lessons to her younger teammates.

Teaming up with junior Myah Yoder, who was an alternate on last year’s 4X400 relay, and freshmen Hannah Stewart and Evann Seratte, they’ve combined for Sunflower League and regional titles, seeded No. 1 heading into state.

“I’m definitely nervous, but I’m so excited,” Severa said of the 4X400. “I’ve got a lot of trust in my other teammates. I know that we’re all going to run our hardest and get that four-peat for our school.”

Off of the track, it’s hard to find an athlete who cheers for more teammates at meets than Severa. At practices, she’s practically an extension of her coaches, beaming with pride about the success of underclassmen and her school.

For her, it’s simply part of the job of being a senior, trying to teach

“She’s always been a team leader because she sets the tone and the tempo at practice,” Hood said. “It’s kind of infectious with the other kids.

This year, she’s as good of a teammate as she is an athlete and a person.”

But most of all, Severa enjoys competing. Looking to end her prep career on the medal podium for multiple events, she’s excited to see what she can accomplish, but sad it has to end.

“It just hit me this weekend that this is my last week of practice at Lawrence High School,” Severa said. “I don’t want it to be over. Lawrence High has provided me with just amazing opportunities and experiences, and I’ve had the best coaches in the state to help me. I couldn’t be more thankful.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Duda-less Mets rip Nats The Associated Press

National League Mets 7, National 1 Washington — David Wright, Yoenis Cespedes and Neil Walker homered on the day Mets slugger Lucas Duda went on the disabled list, leading New York past Washington on Monday night.

Pitching on the eve of his 43rd birthday, Bartolo Colon (4-3) allowed one run and five hits in seven efficient innings. Baseball’s oldest player struck out two and walked two.

With Duda out at least four to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his lower back, Mets manager Terry Collins acknowledged it will take a committee approach to replace his power. Point taken, as Wright hit a three-run shot off Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez (3-2) during a five-run third inning, and Cespedes and Walker went back-to-back in the fifth.

Pirates 6, Rockies 3 Pittsburgh — Pirates starter Ryan Vogelsong was carted off the field after getting struck in the head by a pitch in the second inning of Pittsburgh’s win over Colorado.

With the bases loaded and Pittsburgh leading 1-0, Rockies starter Jordan Lyles (1-2) hit Vogelsong in the left cheek with a 92 mph fastball.

Vogelson was making his second start of the season, filling in because of a rainout Sunday.

The Pirates later said he was admitted to the hospital for injuries to his left eye. Vogelsong was replaced by Wilfredo Boscan (1-0), who got the win in relief.

Besides hitting Vogelsong, the right-hander walked three, allowed two stolen bases, threw a wild pitch and gave up six runs over 21⁄3 innings.

Kershaw (7-1) struck out seven, ending his franchise-record streak of six starts in a row with at least 10 strikeouts. He gave the bullpen some much-needed rest after the Dodgers used a combined 13 relievers in consecutive extra-inning games at San Diego last weekend.

The left-hander retired his final 17 batters after issuing just his fifth walk of the season to Joey Votto leading off the fourth.

Kershaw threw 102 pitches.

American League White Sox 7-1, Indians 6-5 Chicago — Rajai Davis’ two-run homer in the fifth inning put Cleveland ahead to stay, Jose Ramirez hit his second

long ball of the day, and Juan Uribe also went deep to lead the Indians to a 5-1 victory over the White Sox and a doubleheader split.

Davis’ shot to left field off Erik Johnson (0-2) on a 3-0 fastball snapped a 1-all tie. That was enough offense for Cody Anderson (1-3), who struck out a career-best nine over seven innings as the Indians snapped a three-game skid.

In the opener, Brett Lawrie broke a fifth-inning tie with a three-run homer, Todd Frazier hit his 14th of the season, and the White Sox held on for a 7-6 victory.
