City working on security plan to comply with gun law

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

When its four-year exemption to a new Kansas law expires next year, Lawrence must allow concealed firearms in public buildings unless they’re equipped with security measures such as metal detectors and armed guards.

Guards, equipment would be posted at City Hall, library, other buildings To prepare, the city attorney’s office has proposed funds in the 2017 budget to install security — both equipment and personnel — at public entrances to City Hall, Lawrence Municipal Court, Lawrence Public Library and the police

department’s Investigations and Training Center.

Kansas’ “Personal and Family Protection Act,” passed in 2013, allowed for cities to prohibit concealed firearms in public buildings for a maximum of four years before complying.

Lawrence approved a resolution in December 2013 to continue its prohibition of concealed weapons until the exemption ran out.

“That’s what we are currently under,” said Maria Kaminska Garcia, assistant city attorney.

“When it expires, we either

have to allow the carrying of concealed firearms inside of municipal buildings or install adequate security measures at all public entrances to keep weapons out.”

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate’s top leader wants her chamber to vote next week to condemn the federal government’s recent directive to public schools to allow transgender students to use facilities associated with their gender identities.

Senate President Susan Wagle’s office disclosed Thursday that the Wichita Republican is drafting a nonbinding resolution for the chamber to consider when lawmakers also plan a brief ceremony formally adjourning their annual Wagle session. She sent an email Wednesday evening to GOP senators, telling them that their attendance is “very important.”

Wagle sent her email hours after House Speaker Ray Merrick began circulating a draft protest letter promising that Kansas lawmakers would “use every possible avenue” to resist the guidance issued earlier this month by President Barack Obama’s administration.

Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, plans to send the letter to federal officials next week.

Wagle didn’t immediately return a cellphone message seeking comment, but spokeswoman Paje Resner said there is “significant” interest among GOP senators in taking a recorded vote against the federal directive.

“We’ve talked to several members of the caucus, and that’s what they were interested in doing,” Resner said.

Tom Witt, executive director of the LGBT rights group Equality Kansas, said Republican legislative leaders are finding time “to pick on little kids going to the bathroom.”

Ex-City Manager Ray Wells dies at 82 Staff Reports

Former Lawrence City Manager Ray Wells has died in his Colorado home, the Denver Post reported.

Wells was Lawrence’s city manager from 1964 to 1969 and retired in Colorado after having served as city manager for the Denver suburb of Lakewood.

Lawrence residents who served with Wells praised him as a strong leader who helped guide the city during some turbulent times in the late 1960s.

“Ray was an interesting

fellow,” said Jerry Cooley, who served for decades as Lawrence’s city attorney. “He was filled with energy and ideas.”

Rex Johnson, who served as Douglas County sheriff for 24 years, echoed that assessment.

“He was a good leader,” Johnson said. “I always thought he was very sincere about his job, and was always willing to listen and work with law enforcement.”

Wells, 82, died on May 19 after a brief bout with congestive heart failure, according to The Post.

Wells was a native of

The group scheduled a Statehouse rally for next Wednesday, the day of the adjournment ceremony.

“We are talking about singling out a very vulnerable group of schoolchildren and subjecting them to harassment and violence,” Witt said.

Supporters of the federal directive argue that it prevents discrimination.

But Wagle’s email labeled it an “overreach,” and Republican officials in Kansas question whether the Democratic president’s administration has the legal authority to enforce it. Critics also contend such a policy violates most students’ privacy and endangers their safety.

Two separate but

It also calls for that same annual funding level for the life of the five-year plan.

What’s interesting is that in 2008 — before voters approved the 0.3 percent sales tax for infrastructure — the city approved $4.83 million in spending for contracted street maintenance.

Before we get too deep into the weeds here, a quick word about the city’s contracted street maintenance program. It is the program that seals the cracks in streets, puts a new coat of pavement on sections of streets, repairs portions of curbs and gutters and other such maintenance issues.

Engineers deem this program critical. I’ve frequently heard it is just like caring for your house. You have to do the mundane maintenance to delay the really big, expensive rebuilding projects. Simply put, the city is spending less money on those type of projects than what

identical bills were introduced in March in the Kansas House and Senate to block schools and colleges from allowing transgender students from using facilities associated with their gender identities. But neither received even a committee hearing.

Wagle and Merrick launched their protests the same day Texas and 10 other states filed a federal lawsuit challenging the directive. Wagle said in her email that her resolution will encourage state Attorney General Derek Schmidt, also a Republican, to get Kansas involved.

Schmidt has promised publicly to work closely with the 11 states but noted that Kansas already is involved in another case before a federal appeals court in which a transgender Virginia teenager sued to be allowed to use the boys’ bathroom at school. they were before voters approved millions of dollars in new sales tax funds for streets.

Overall, the city certainly is spending more money on streets now than it did prior to the sales tax vote.

But, as I’ve already noted, there are different types of street spending. There is spending on street maintenance and there is spending on rebuilding streets. The city has been spending more money on the high-profile rebuilding projects — think Kasold Drive, think Iowa Street — but has been spending less on the more mundane maintenance projects.

Does that, however, mean city commissioners are breaking a political promise? Well, some pretty specific things were said during the campaign to convince voters to approve this sales tax.

A key talking point was that the city hadn’t spent enough money on street maintenance historically, and as a result we had lots of streets that needed to be rebuilt.

The last thing politicians were telling voters is that they were going to spend less on maintenance.

I went back to the

A draft of Lawrence’s five-year capital improvement plan, which was released last week, contains $114,600 in 2017 to install security equipment at those four buildings. Equipment would include metal detectors, which range from $5,000 to $6,000 each, Garcia said, as well as metal detector wands. The city is also looking into baggage screening machines, costing around $20,000 each.

The cost of armed guards for those locations would be hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

According to documents released with the capital improvement plan, the four buildings were deemed “high priority” because of the number of people who visit them, “including persons who may become impassioned and emotional during their visit.”

There are 57 other buildings in Lawrence that can be accessed by the public and would be opened for concealed carry.

Garcia said Lawrence won’t move forward with

Assistant City Attorney Maria Kaminska Garcia said Lawrence won’t move forward with installing equipment and hiring guards until the City Commission decides on how it wants to handle compliance with the new state law. installing equipment and hiring guards until the City Commission decides on how it wants to handle compliance with the new state law. The estimates serve as an example to commissioners about the cost of compliance.

A date for the commissioners to discuss the issue has not been set, Garcia said.

But because funds are proposed through the 2017 budget, which commissioners will discuss in coming months and pass in August, conversations about security funding are likely to happen soon.

“This is just a proposal of what type of equipment and in what building,” Garcia said. “We have to stay tuned to see what the City Commission wants to do, so everything is tentative right now. This is the time they’re going to be discussing it.”

Estimates for armed guards for the four buildings range from $280,000

to $780,000 per year.

Each public entrance to the buildings would need two armed guards, the documents say. An additional person would be needed to cover absences.

The higher end, around $780,000, would be the cost if the city were to have police officers guard the buildings. The estimate for hiring guards through a private security company is $280,000, and hiring city employees, such as retired law enforcement officers, would cost around $420,000.

Garcia said there was some uncertainty about when security measures would need to be in place.

Lawrence’s resolution states the city would be exempt until Jan. 1, 2018, but a law passed this year specifies that the exemptions end July 1, 2017.

The new bill is under review, Garcia said.

Management and Lawrence police said they received numerous reports of damage to tree limbs and power lines.

At 8:30 p.m. Thursday, more than 1500 Westar Energy customers were without electricity in Lawrence, according to the company’s website. Crews were working to restore power, but it could be as late as noon today before all power is restored.

The Kansas Department of Transportation closed U.S. 24 Highway from Tee

Pee Junction to U.S. Highway 24-59 in Jefferson County at 9 p.m. Thursday.

Lawrence Police said late Thursday night that barricades were in place on several county and city roads: l The 900-1000 block of North 900 Road; l The 900 block of North 1750 Road; l County Road 1, going west out of Lone Star Lake; l 11th and Haskell streets; l The 2300 block of Ousdahl Road; l The 2200 block of West 26th Street; l The intersection of 26th and 27th streets, just west of Iowa Street; l The Winterbrook area, near Clinton Park-

way and Kasold Drive.

More thunderstorms are expected through this morning across north-central and northeast Kansas.

These areas have received heavy rainfall over the past several days, and additional storms could lead to flash flooding as well as overflow in streams and creeks, the NWS said.

The Kansas River reached 15 feet shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday, according to the NWS. At 15 feet, Burcham Park on the south side of the river begins to flood.

The NWS forecast says the river could rise to 17 feet by Saturday. At 18 feet, Burcham Park is closed due to flooding.

documents from the City Commission’s Aug. 5, 2008, meeting, when commissioners agreed to put the sales tax issue on the ballot. There is a memo that explains how the infrastructure sales tax would be used. A reminder: It is used for more than just streets.

The Burroughs Creek Trail received sales tax money, firetrucks have been purchased with it, a major drainage project in North Lawrence is being funded by the tax.

The memo explains all that, and then includes a paragraph that addresses a key point of philosophy: “Remaining funding is anticipated to provide new funds for street and stormwater infrastructure which would enhance rather than supplant existing general fund, gas tax or stormwater funding for these infrastructure projects.”

In other words, we are going to keep spending all that we spend today on streets, and this sales tax money will be new money that we’ll add on top of it.

But that is not what is being proposed, and it is not what has happened the past few years. I’ve already told you the city’s

contracted street maintenance fund is scheduled to receive $1.69 million less in funding in 2017 than it did in 2008 before the sales tax was approved.

The street maintenance fund gets money from a variety of city sources. l In 2017, it is proposed to get $2 million from the general fund, which is primarily property taxes. In 2008, it received at least $2.1 million in general fund dollars. l In 2017, it is proposed to receive $140,000 in stormwater funds, which comes from a special fee on your utility bill. In 2008, it received $540,000 in stormwater funds. l In 2017, it is proposed to receive $200,000 in gas tax funds, which comes from a state-imposed tax on gasoline. In 2008, it received $690,000 in gas tax funds. l In 2008, the street maintenance fund also received $850,000 from the countywide 1-cent sales tax, which is a different sales tax from the infrastructure sales tax approved by voters in 2008.

As proposed for 2017, the street maintenance fund will receive no countywide sales tax dollars.

It is important to note that the city is proposing to use $800,000 in infrastructure sales tax money for the street maintenance fund. That is money that wasn’t available in 2008.

But, as you can see, the city has reduced funding from other sources by an amount much greater than $800,000.

If you think this is something the new city manager has come up with, you are incorrect. The city started doing this well before Tom Markus arrived earlier this year. We reported last year that the 2015 contracted street maintenance budget had dropped to $2.8 million after city officials took money from the fund for

So, are city commissioners breaking a political promise? Honestly, I’m not that interested in answering. The answer won’t have much bearing on what happens in the future.

But it seems there is a reasonable question to ask at City Hall these days: Is the city going to fall behind on street maintenance again? If the answer is yes, you need to answer another question: What city spending are you going to cut, or what taxes are you going to raise?

Severe weather, tornadoes roil Plains; no injuries Chapman (ap) — Severe weather spawning numerous tornadoes roiled large stretches of Kansas for a second day Thursday, prompting residents to anxiously watch the skies but causing only scattered damage in rural areas and no injuries or deaths.

A late afternoon tornado warning in the Kansas City area prompted a brief precautionary evacuation of Kansas City International Airport in

Missouri, forcing travelers and other visitors into parking garage tunnels, local media reported. The airport was back in operation by early evening.

Both the Lawrence American Legion DorseyLiberty Post 14 and VFW Alford-Clarke Post 852 will help with the weekend placement of flags on veterans’ graves at Lawrence cemeteries.

In addition, the American Legion will have a Memorial Day ceremony at 10 a.m. Monday at Oak Hill Cemetery. Observations will include music from a bagpipe and drum corps, a plane flyover with the release of red, white and blue smoke courtesy of WarrenMcElwain Mortuary, a bell ringing in memory of post members who died in the past 12 months, a salute to the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and comments on the 150-year anniversary of Memorial Day — or Decoration Day, as it was originally known — by retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel and Post Commander Alan Van Loenen.

After the ceremony, the post will serve a light lunch of hot dogs, chips and drinks provided from a contribution from Warren-McElwain and cookies proved by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In the event of rain, the ceremony will be at the American Legion Post,

3408 W. Sixth St. The VFW’s Memorial Day ceremony will be at 11 a.m. Monday at the post, 1801 Massachusetts St. Post Commander Brooklynne Mosley said the observation would include a 21-gun salute, a guest speaker and reflections on the service and sacrifices of past and present members of the Armed Forces. A light lunch will follow the ceremony, Mosley said.

Baldwin City American Legion Lloyd Benton Post 228 will have its annual Memorial Day celebration at 10 a.m. Monday at Oakwood Cemetery in Baldwin City.

The observance will include short speeches from veterans, the traditional bell ringing in memory of departed veterans and a 21-gun salute. In the event of rain, the observance will be moved to the American Legion Post, 803 High St. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ljworld.com.

City closings set for weekend All city administrative offices will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day, according to a news release from the city.

they had better hurry up,” Sloan said. “If we are going to look at it, we have to have time. That leads me to believe they won’t require us to put more money in immediately, but may require us to do so in the future.”

If the time comes for more school funding, Sloan said legislators must work to come together in creating new state revenues.

“We have to revisit the income tax reforms of 2012,” Sloan said, referring to large income tax cuts championed by Gov. Sam Brownback.

At Thursday’s event, both Wildgen and Sloan were praised for making significant contributions to the community and

their professions.

Wildgen served as city manager for Lawrence from 1990 to 2006, a time period when the city saw large amounts of growth.

Sloan, in addition to his role as legislator, was honored for his work with renewable energy and natural resources.

“This is a substantial recognition,” Wildgen told the crowd of Kiwanis. “Your organization is known for all the good work that you do. This is special.”

until today.

In neighboring Missouri, an Air Force worker at the Whiteman base roughly 70 miles southeast of Kansas City reported a tornado had touched down.

The tornado on Wednesday night near 1,400-resident Chapman, 140 miles west of Kansas City, Kan., damaged or destroyed about 20 homes but edged past Chapman’s southern side after forecasters declared a “tornado emergency” for the town.

“Numerous” miles of power lines were extensively damaged, along with a set of railroad tracks, Kansas officials said Thursday.

A survey team from the National Weather Service office at Topeka rated the tornado as an EF4 on a scale of tornado strength — EF5 is the highest — with estimated peak winds of 180 mph.

In Kansas’ Dickinson County, a tornado Wednesday was blamed for destroying eight homes and heavily damaging as many as 20

others and farmsteads.

“It’s amazing how this tornado missed those centers of population,” said Paul Froelich, of the Dickinson County fire district.

“And we had outstanding early warning on this. ...

People knew well in advance of this storm. Consider also, this is Kansas.

This is Tornado Alley.”

A typical tornado dissipates within 10 minutes after losing the proper balance of winds flowing into and out of the storm.

Tornado researcher Erik Rasmussen of the University of Oklahoma said Thursday that conditions were right to keep the Chapman storm churning — no storms were nearby to disrupt it.

Sloan said he thinks the Legislature will be ordered to provide more funding for K-12 education, but he’s not certain the Legislature will be required to do so before the beginning of the next school year.

Legislators are scheduled to return to the Statehouse on Wednesday for a ceremonial closing of the legislative session. There has been speculation that the court may have a ruling prior to that date, giving legislators a chance to take action, if needed.

An hour later, five tornadoes were reported in a cluster of counties in northeast Kansas, where law enforcement reported baseball-size hail that damaged cars and homes in Meriden northeast of Topeka.

At the same time, several southwestern Kansas counties were under tornado warnings, but no twisters had touched down.

Early Thursday evening, the weather service said a tornado knocked down tree limbs and damaged some outbuildings near the 4,400-resident northeastern Kansas town of Wamego, though the intensity of that twister was not expected to be assessed

Holland to seek re-election; Democrat files against Pompeo

D

emocratic Sen. Tom Holland, of Baldwin City, filed for re-election Thursday, saying he will continue to fight Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies.

His filing means that all six incumbent lawmakers from Douglas County are seeking re-election Holland this year. All but two of them, Democratic Reps. John Wilson and Boog Highberger, have already drawn at least one opponent.

Holland is finishing his second term in the Senate’s 3rd District, which covers the southern edge of Lawrence, eastern Douglas County and part of Leavenworth County.

He’s currently the ranking Democrat on the Assessment and Taxation

Committee, Commerce Committee and a Ways and Means subcommittee on general government and gaming.

He faces a potentially strong Republican opponent, Echo Van Meteren, in the general election.

She is an advertising consultant and wife of GOP strategist Chris Van Meteren, a principal in the Singularis Group consulting firm that works closely with the Kansas Republican Party.

But the district leans Democratic. Paul Davis carried it with 56 percent of the gubernatorial vote in 2014, and President Barack Obama pulled in 46 percent in 2012, which was higher than his statewide average. Holland won his race that year

Statehouse Live

with 53 percent of the vote over former Rep. Anthony Brown.

Holland’s neighboring colleague in the Senate, Democrat Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, also has a Republican challenger this year, Meredith Richey, of Perry.

On the House side, Democratic Rep. Barbara Ballard faces both a primary challenger, Steven

X. Davis, and a Republican challenger, Michael Lindsey.

Republican Rep. Tom Sloan will face the same primary challenger he defeated two years ago, Jeremy Ryan Pierce.

Sloan won that race, 7624 percent.

The deadline for candidates to file for the 2016 elections is noon on June 1.

Wichita attorney files for Congress Wichita attorney Dan Giroux filed Thursday to run against Congressman Mike Pompeo in the 4th Congressional District.

He is the second Democrat to enter that race, but clearly the favorite among the Democratic establishment over Robert Leon Tillman, who has run twice before.

Giroux has been raising money since early

this year and reported in April that he’d raised $127,000, relatively little compared with the $1.1 million that Pompeo reported at that time.

The 4th District hasn’t been held by a Democrat since former Rep. Dan Glickman lost his re-election bid in 1994. But Giroux Pompeo said he thinks the district is ripe for a turnover this year, citing the relatively poor economic conditions in Wichita and the rest of the south-central Kansas district.

Among other things, Giroux said he opposes the proposed TransPacific Partnership trade agreement, which he said would put workers in the Wichita area in direct competition with

lower-wage workers in east Asia.

Pompeo, a staunch conservative, is seeking his fourth term in the U.S. House. He briefly toyed with the idea of challenging U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, who is up for re-election this year, but he abandoned that idea in April and filed for another term in the House.

Pompeo won his last election with two-thirds of the vote over Democrat Perry L. Schuckman.

That came after a bitter GOP primary against former Congressman Todd Tiahrt. Pompeo won that contest, 63-37 percent.

Eudora, developer take first steps in Nottingham Property redevelopment Area T Roundup

he city of Eudora and the designated developer of the Nottingham property took their first joint step Monday in a public/private partnership to develop the property with the Eudora City Commission’s approval of a predevelopment agreement with CBC Real Estate Group LLC. The agreement provides a road map for further negotiations between the city and developer of the 15-acre site on the city’s main Church Street entrance off Kansas Highway 10. The Eudora City Commission last month agreed to enter into negotiations with the Kansas City, Mo., company to develop the site of

According to the agreement, those could include the creation of a tax increment financing district, the creation of a community improvement district and use of industrial revenue bonds.

Wichita teachers vote for shorter school year, longer days Wichita (ap) — Union officials say Wichita teachers have approved a plan to lengthen the school day and shorten the year.

United Teachers of Wichita president Steve Wentz told The Wichita Eagle that nearly 70 percent of the more than 4,000 ballots the union received Wednesday morning were in favor of the proposed calendar.

The calendar was proposed as a way to trim about $3 million from next year’s budget. It’ll shorten the school year by 15 days for Wichita students and lengthen the school day by 30 minutes.

Under the new calendar, students will go to school 158 days in the 2016-17 school year instead of 173, and teachers will work 175 days instead of 190. Their pay will be unaffected by the changes.

“Everyone agrees this is not what is best for kids,” Wentz said. “Three weeks less of student contact is not what the students in (USD) 259 need.”

The Wichita school board must approve the proposed change. Members are expected to approve an addendum to this year’s teacher contract noting the calendar change, as well as a new

calendar for the 2016-17 school year, during its June 6 meeting.

Board members have previously said they prefer the new calendar over other budget cuts, such as eliminating high school data leaders, outsourcing custodial managers, or eliminating elementary and middle school librarian positions.

“I know this was a decision not made lightly by our teachers,” said John Allison, superintendent.

“Thankfully, this decision will allow us to move forward and finalize our budget without the loss of additional jobs or the outsourcing of services.”

“The kids will love it.”

The pool will open with a free community day from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday, he said. Pool fees will remain the same as last season, he said.

Gary Scott said issues have been resolved. The pool will definitely be open Monday, and if weather cooperates there was a possibility the pool could open Sunday. Pool hours are 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and fees are unchanged from last year.

Deliberations begin in case of man accused of abusing girl

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Jurors on Thursday began deliberating the case of a Eudora man accused of sexually abusing a young girl over the course of several years.

The man, 40, faces four felony charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, according to a criminal complaint filed in

Douglas County District Court.

The girl, now 15 years old, was allegedly abused between the ages of 7 and 10 in both Lawrence and Eudora, according to court documents.

The man was arrested on Jan. 9, 2015, and released later that day after posting a $25,000 bond.

His trial began Monday.

After both defense and prosecuting attorneys

finished their closing statements the jurors began deliberating around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

At 5:30 p.m. the jury had not yet reached a verdict and decided to recess for the evening.

Deliberations are scheduled to recommence at 9 a.m. today.

New food truck festival will benefit Lawrence Public Schools Lawrence Public Schools will be the beneficiary of a new culinary festival planned for this fall, festival organizer Julia Ireland announced Thursday.

Ireland, owner of Lawrence food truck Torched Goodness, established the festival as a bookend to food truck season.

It will be held Oct. 23 in the 700 block of Vermont Street.

Part of the festival’s proceeds will go to Lawrence Public Schools for the Farm to School Program, Ireland said. As part

of the program, initiated in 2014, student work in school gardens is coordinated with health, science and nutrition curriculum in classrooms.

“We believe that children should know where their food comes from and learn how to make healthy choices,” Ireland said.

Earlier this month, another Lawrence food festival, the Kansas Food Truck Festival, raised $41,000 for Douglas County food bank Just Food.

Rain or shine, Busker Fest and Art Tougeau will go on

By Joanna Hlavacek

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

ith the recent rainy conditions — and chance of thunderstorms — expected to continue through the weekend, some Busker Fest faithful might be worried about the status of the popular outdoor event, slated for today through Sunday in downtown Lawrence.

Well, the show must go on, as they say. Or, as longtime festival organizer Richard Renner puts it, “We’re gonna do this thing one way or another.”

“The forecast keeps changing, and I hate that. If you can’t trust the weather, who can you trust?” he jokes. “We’re going to be ready for the rain. If it starts up, we’ll stop to go have a beer, and when it stops, we’ll start up again.”

As of Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service predicted a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms for the Lawrence area, with those odds dropping to 40 and 30 percent, respectively, each of the following nights.

Still, Renner’s optimistic about this year’s Lawrence Busker Fest. The ninth annual street-performer showcase is expected to attract anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 spectators to downtown Lawrence over the Memorial Day weekend.

The fun officially begins tonight at 5 p.m. or shortly thereafter, when the first acts — among them “acrobatic nerd” Adorkable Derek, strongwoman Mama Lou and

The parade will start at the Arts Center before rolling south to 11th Street, turning right onto Massachusetts Street and continuing north for four blocks, turning right onto Seventh Street for one block and then right once more onto New Hampshire St., ending its run back in front of the Arts Center at 940 New Hampshire St. Unlike last year, Renner’s sitting out on juggling both the Busker Fest and Art Tougeau. He passed the reins of the latter to longtime parade participant and friend Pat Slimmer.

Busker Fest keeps him busy enough. And with the 2017 Busker Fest being the 10th incarnation of the event, Renner’s already thinking about next year. He promises “something dramatic.”

“I just took it year by year,” Renner recalls. “After each year, I just sat down with the people I worked with and did a quick assessment. ‘Was it worth it?’ ‘Should we do it again?’ And every year, it’s been worth it.”

It’s OK to turn friends’ extra guests away Dear Annie: There is a couple that socializes with us and our friends.

They constantly drop hints that their adult children (living at home) should be invited to our events. They say things like, ‘’Becky would really enjoy coming to your house. She loves the way you cook.’’ Sometimes they just show up at the door with their adult children and say, ‘’I hope you don’t mind.’’

How do you respond to such requests? And how do we prevent future occurrences? — Hostess in Louisiana Dear Hostess: These people want their children included in everything and have little consideration for their hosts. When they ask to bring Becky, it’s perfectly OK to say, ‘’I’m so sorry, but I can’t accommodate her this time.’’

Since they do this frequently, you would be justified in turning them away, saying, ‘’So sorry, but we didn’t plan on an additional person. We’d be happy to host you and Becky another time.’’

Dear Annie: Like ‘’Fed Up Sister,’’ my brother was also a braggart. From his teenage years on, he always tried to one-up everyone. He was the youngest of six and didn’t realize that

Food goes avant-garde on Netflix The Netflix documentary series “Chef’s Table” enters its second season. “Table” profiles the world’s most celebrated food pioneers and restaurateurs.

First up, we meet chef Grant Achatz of Chicago. He has long been associated with molecular gastronomy, the art of using newfangled technology and things like liquid nitrogen to turn mere cooking into a science project, offering diners the essential taste of familiar ingredients in unusual and unprecedented combinations.

He’s first seen at an art gallery, pondering the limitations of serving meals on mere plates and using old-fashioned utensils. He proposes that customers experience his creations on a virtual canvas, after liquefied ingredients have been spread, or rather splattered Jackson Pollock-style, creating a startling visual tableau. We then see his restaurant, designed like a hall of mirrors to trick the eyes of dining patrons and generally “mess with them” at every turn.

Needless to say, not everybody is thrilled with this commingling of culinary art, theatrical illusion and science.

And why, if “Table” is trying to emphasize the innovative, does the musical score consist of the kind of classical “background music” you might find at a conventional or hifalutin restaurant?

As Anthony Bourdain and other television food experts tell us, meals are essentially cultural experiences. Whether slapped together by peasants in a timehonored tradition, or served at a drive-thru window just off the interstate, food reflects the history, rituals and values of its creators and consumers.

Just what culture does Achatz evoke? The triumph of technology and experimentation for its own sake? The culture of celebrity chefdom? The fine line between adventurous eating and trendy gullibility?

Discuss this among yourselves while trying to scrape those congealed molecules off your “canvas” without using a fork!

Tonight’s other highlights O “American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings) presents “The Highwaymen: Friends Till the End,” a documentary look at the collaboration between Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson.

We felt the bragging must be important to him, so we never let on. He was always the life of the party and fun to be around. He went through three marriages, had five children and still his claims of grandeur continued.

When his last marriage dissolved, he didn’t bounce back like he always had before. We received a call from the police one day that he had shot himself. He was dead at age 48. His life had been a series of stories about how great things were and how wonderfully he was doing. In reality, we learned that he was an insecure and lost person.

Obama tempers global idealism

EDITORIALS

Early fade Private donations, not taxpayer funds, are the right way to restore and maintain a failed street mural project.

A

lot of local residents probably wondered how painting a street mural at the intersection of 10th and New Jersey streets would work.

Now we know. At least on the first attempt, the painting didn’t work very well. A month after the mural was painted, it is badly faded and the paint in some sections is almost completely worn off the pavement. The mural’s designer isn’t sure why the paint failed so quickly. The paint might not have been thick enough or it may have been damaged by recent rains. City officials also wonder whether the pavement, which had been power-washed, had dried sufficiently before the paint was applied.

The question now arises: How much does the city think it’s worth to replace and try to maintain this mural? The project cost an estimated $3,450. Some of the money came from private sources and $1,500 came through a grant from the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission.

The organizers of the project had envisioned the neighborhood coming together every two years to repaint the mural, not every two months. Nonetheless, they are undaunted and plan to apply for another city grant to repaint the intersection mural.

The mural was an interesting idea, but, in its current condition, it doesn’t do much to enhance the neighborhood.

And unless some more durable solution is found, maintaining this mural could become an expensive proposition — perhaps for city taxpayers. In the big scheme of the city budget, the street mural isn’t a major expense, but small amounts add up. If the street mural is popular with the neighborhood or other supporters, it should be able to attract enough private funding to keep it painted, but ongoing public support for the project doesn’t seem like a good use of taxpayer money.

Washington — How do you distinguish a foreign policy “idealist” from a “realist,” an optimist from a pessimist?

Ask one question: Do you believe in the arrow of history?

Or to put it another way, do you think history is cyclical or directional? Are we condemned to do the same damn thing over and over, generation after generation — or is there hope for some enduring progress in the world order?

For realists, generally conservative, history is an endless cycle of clashing power politics. The same patterns repeat. Only the names and places change. The best we can do in our own time is to defend ourselves, managing instability and avoiding catastrophe. But expect nothing permanent, no essential alteration in the course of human affairs.

The idealists believe otherwise. They believe that the international system can eventually evolve out of its Hobbesian state of nature into something more humane and hopeful. What is usually overlooked is that this hopefulness for achieving a higher plane of global comity comes in two flavors — one liberal, one conservative.

The liberal variety (as practiced, for example, by the Bill Clinton administration) believes that the creation of a dense web of treaties, agreements, transnational institutions and international organizations (like the U.N., NGOs, the World Trade Organization) can give substance to a cohesive community of nations that would, in time, ensure order and stability.

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

On his Vietnam trip this week, Obama accepted the reality of an abusive dictatorship while announcing a warming of relations and the lifting of the U.S. arms embargo, thereby enlisting Vietnam as a full partner in the containment of China.”

The conservative view (often called neoconservative and dominant in the George W. Bush years) is that the better way to ensure order and stability is not through international institutions, which are flimsy and generally powerless, but through the spread of democracy. Because, in the end, democracies are inherently more inclined to live in peace.

Liberal internationalists count on globalization, neoconservatives on democratization to get us to the sunny uplands of international harmony. But what unites them is the belief that such uplands exist and are achievable. Both believe in the perfectibility, if not of man, then of the inter-

national system. Both believe in the arrow of history.

For realists, this is a comforting delusion that gives high purpose to international exertions where none exists. Sovereign nations remain in incessant pursuit of power and self-interest.

The pursuit can be carried out more or less wisely.

But nothing fundamentally changes.

Barack Obama is a classic case study in foreign policy idealism. Indeed, one of his favorite quotations is about the arrow of history: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” He has spent nearly eight years trying to advance that arc of justice. Hence his initial “apology tour,” that burst of confessional soul-searching abroad about America and its sins, from slavery to the loss of our moral compass after 9/11.

Today’s trip to Hiroshima completes the arc.

Unfortunately, with “justice” did not come peace.

The policies that followed — appeasing Vladimir Putin, the Iranian mullahs, the butchers of Tiananmen Square and lately the Castros — have advanced neither justice nor peace. On the contrary. The consequent withdrawal of American power, that agent of injustice or at least arrogant overreach, has yielded nothing but geopolitical chaos and immense human suffering. (See Syria.)

But now an interesting twist. Two terms as president may not have disabused Obama of his arc-ofjustice idealism (see above:

Hiroshima visit), but they have forced upon him at least one policy of hardheaded, indeed hardhearted, realism. On his Vietnam trip this week, Obama accepted the reality of an abusive dictatorship while announcing a warming of relations and the lifting of the U.S. arms embargo, thereby enlisting Vietnam as a full partner in the containment of China.

This follows the partial return of the U.S. military to the Philippines, another element of the containment strategy.

Indeed, the Trans-Pacific Partnership itself is less about economics than geopolitics, creating a Pacific Rim cordon around China.

There’s no idealism in containment. It is raw, soulless realpolitik. No moral arc. No uplifting historical arrow. In fact, it is the same damn thing all over again, a recapitulation of Truman’s containment of Russia in the late 1940s. Obama is doing the same, now with China.

He thus leaves a double legacy. His arc-of-justice aspirations, whatever their intention, leave behind tragic geopolitical and human wreckage. Yet this belated acquiescence to realpolitik, laying the foundations for a new containment, will be an essential asset in addressing this century’s coming central challenge, the rise of China.

I don’t know — no one knows — if history has an arrow. Which is why a dose of coldhearted realism is always welcome. Especially from Obama.

To the editor: The new academic building on the Kansas University campus breaks the back of our 150-year-old tradition of naming buildings after KU chancellors and other prominent individuals. As an alumnus, I respect the names of our academic buildings: Fraser Hall, Snow Hall, Marvin Hall, Lippincott Hall, Strong Hall, Lindley Hall, Malott Hall, Murphy Hall. Wescoe Hall, Chalmers Hall, Budig Hall, and so forth.

Lastly, we have the new four-story Capitol Federal Hall with its opulent stateof-the-art facilities, incredible classrooms, “interview rooms,” Wi-Fi, numerous large-screen and giant video displays — including a large, continuously running stock market ticker. This building, all “privately funded,” with a 65-piece original art collection, and its extravagant “Dean’s Suite,” is a financial monstrosity, putting to shame every other building on campus. The only thing remaining is to erect a huge neon four-story “$” on the building, so all will know what’s inside.

I expect this building will become the home of the “Citibank School of Business,”

and soon we will have the “Koch Brothers Memorial Stadium,” and, in the end, the “Sprint University of Kansas” (SUK). With Capitol Federal Hall, KU announces that, in fact, corporations ARE people. This not only proves that money talks, but in this case, as Bob Dylan said, “Money doesn’t talk, it swears.”

Frank Janzen, Lawrence

Fee adjustment To the editor: It’s budget time at City Hall. The following is a simple idea that would address affordable housing and income inequality in a meaningful way, The city of Lawrence has a franchise fee on our utilities that brings in about $7 million a year. This fee (tax) is much like a sales tax, same rate across the board.

The city could easily restructure this fee so that the first part of the utility bill would be exempt from the franchise fee. This would shift the burden to people with high energy bills and highend cable. This change would be revenue-neutral and serve as a local carbon tax.

The saving for low-energy people would only be about $40 a year, but for low-

income people, $40 is real money. This change could take away the regressive nature of the franchise fee. This simple change will continue Lawrence on our march to become a progressive city.

Fred Sack, Lawrence

Teacher talks

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 27, 1916: years “A new Buick moago tor car belonging IN 1916 to J. E. Newhouse was stolen from in front of Turner hall last night between 9 and 10 o’clock. The alarm was given immediately to the police. All day today the officers have searched for the car, and warnings have been sent to surrounding towns, but no trace of the car had been found this afternoon. The theft of the car was a matter easily enough accomplished, but officers are puzzled by the ease with which it has been taken beyond reach in so short a time.

They link this case with other auto thefts that have occurred recently and the whole matter looks as if there were an organized plan on foot for the stealing of motor cars. It was only a little over two weeks ago that a new Ford car belonging to E. H. Wickersham was stolen at night. Neither the officers nor Mr. Wickersham have heard of the car from that day to this…”

“The arrangements for the formal observance of Memorial Sunday and Memorial Day have been completed by D. B. Hunnicutt, commander of Washington Post of the G. A. R. At many of the churches of Lawrence tomorrow memorial sermons will be preached, and on Memorial day will be held the formal exercises at the cemeteries and the parade and program in the afternoon. The exercises at the cemeteries will be held in the morning. In the afternoon a parade, marshalled by General Wilder S. Metcalf, will proceed to the First Methodist church, where Judge Smart will make an address and a patriotic program will be given.”

“It takes only a little rise in the Kaw river these days to set in motion a lot of anxious inquiries as to just what the river may be expected to do. The rain which was general throughout the watershed of the Kaw last night will bring the river up only an inconsiderable amount, but that small amount is of interest to the men in charge of the bridge building operations at Lawrence.”

To the editor: I was pleased and somewhat surprised when I read in the May 21 Saturday Column that you believed that good salaries attract good teachers. About 45 years ago, I was on the team of teachers who were negotiating our contract for the coming year. More than once during that time we were described in print as “those who feed at the public trough.” Not exactly a flattering image.

Also a local radio station in an editorial broadcast stated that if a colleague and I were “going to act like labor goons, we should be treated like labor goons.” Again, not flattering but intriguing.

I believe that labor gooning would pay better than — Compiled by Sarah St. John teaching! Well, maybe (the times, they are a-changing).

Good luck to our current Read more Old Home Town at teacher negotiators.

Panama Papers firm one of hundreds Some states are key players as well Steve Reilly

@BySteveReilly USA TODAY

Mossack Fonseca, the focus of the Panama Papers leak, is far from the only company mass-producing shell companies in secrecy-friendly states such as Wyoming, Nevada and Delaware.

A USA TODAY examination of the limited records available — some states make corporate records increasingly invisible — shows Mossack Fonseca regis-

tered less than 2% of the Nevada “companies” linked to addresses outside the USA. A similar review of Wyoming’s more secretive records shows that just 24 of more than 2,000 foreign-based businesses registered since 1990 were created by Mossack Fonseca’s Wyoming branch.

The states have become willing partners in the lucrative frontcompany business that generates millions of dollars in revenue for the government.

Indeed, the review of corporateregistration data shows there are

more than 50 firms in Nevada that have registered as many or more different companies than Mossack Fonseca, and many have bundles of businesses tracing back to shared addresses in places from Panama to islands off the European coast.

The motive for U.S. states appears to be simple: mountains of cash.

In Delaware, which does not levy sales or personal property taxes, revenue from the Division of Corporations totaled $928 million in 2014 — nearly 30% of the state’s overall tax revenue. Almost 90% came from the taxes charged for registering new companies.

“Criminals are currently able to misuse companies to hide this beneficial owner.”

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew

In Nevada, records show more than 20,000 companies with foreign addresses have registered in the state since 1975. More than half were registered in the past decade as state lawmakers expanded corporate secrecy protections in a transparent bid to draw revenue from new registrations.

The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office earned $138 million from commercial recordings, which includes new business filings, in 2014.

A decade earlier in 2004, that figure was slightly more than $45 million. Nevada’s overall state revenue in 2014 was $17 billion.

In Wyoming, the secretary of State took in $31 million in revenue in the 2013-14 fiscal year from its business division, which includes corporation filing fees.

Overall revenue in the state’s annual budget totals about $7 billion. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

USA TODAY

Newt Gingrich is back in play.

The former House speaker is one of the top picks to be Donald Trump’s running mate, according to two dozen experts USA TODAY has consulted.

These political observers and activists were polled each week before the Iowa caucuses to produce USA TODAY’s GOP Power Rankings. They were polled again this week on who would be the best choice for Trump’s running mate.

“Gingrich would never be on anyone else’s short list for a number of reasons, but for Trump, he’s a perfect fit,” said Craig Robinson of TheIowaRepublican .com. “If Trump has a weak spot, it’s that he has yet to lay out ... foreign and domestic policies.”

For Trump, the selection of a running mate looms as the next big test in his improbable path to the Republican presidential nomination, which became all but official Thursday. The Associated Press reported that Trump had locked up enough support from unbound delegates to win

the nomination when the party convenes in Cleveland in July.

Trump has been the presumptive GOP nominee since earlier this month when he won the Indiana primary and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped out. Now, attention has turned to whom Trump’s vice presidential nominee would be.

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker was the top vote-getter in USA TODAY’s Power Rankings after his visit to Trump Tower this week; Gingrich was second and third was Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, just ahead of Kasich. A dozen other names were mentioned, from Sarah Palin to South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, but none got nearly the support of the top four.

Corker would be “a powerful signal that (Trump) will pursue a more mainstream foreign policy,” former Republican National Committee official Frank Donatelli said. Ernst rose from obscurity to win the Senate seat of Democrat and liberal icon Tom Harkin in 2014. “Ernst’s military background would help the ticket and could shore up support with Republican women,” Iowa State University professor Dianne Bystrom said.

Homebound no more: Americans ready to take off

Falling fares, cheap gas fuel travel uptick Charisse Jones and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

More Americans appear poised to kiss the “staycation” goodbye this summer.

With the coming of the Memorial Day holiday, more vacationers are likely to head out of town to take advantage of cheap gas, falling airfares and strong employment. After vacations being stuck at home, people have bigger

incentives to hit the road.

“The ‘staycation’ is out, the road trip is in – and for good reason,” says analyst Patrick DeHaan of GasBuddy.com, the gasolineprice tracking website.

AAA is projecting 35 million people will travel this Memorial Day weekend — about 700,000 more than last year.

And with gasoline prices at their lowest level for this time of year since 2005, cheap gas is fueling the rush.

Americans have already saved more than $18 billion on gas this year, compared with the same period in 2015, AAA spokeswoman Julie Hall said. GasBuddy is pro-

About 700,000 more people are expected to travel over the holiday than last year.

jecting a 2.2% increase in roadtrippers this summer; national prices will average $2.29 per gallon on Memorial Day and $2.15 per gallon from June through August. A GasBuddy survey says that more than 56% of those driving to their vacation destinations will travel at least 400 miles round trip.

Cheaper fuel also is contributing to lower airfares. Travel booking site Orbitz says the average plane ticket to its top 10 destinations costs 10% less this summer than it did last year.

“We’re definitely projecting a strong travel season,” Hall said.

“People have extra income in

their pocket, so they’re looking to spend that on travel.”

Of the 75% of Americans that Orbitz expects to travel this summer, eight out of 10 will stay stateside.

And although the journey itself might cost a little less, vacationers may have to pay more once they arrive.

Average hotel prices in Orbitz’s top 10 destinations are up 17% for the summer.

A few vacation spots have spiked considerably. Miami hotel prices leaped 23% to an average of $189 per night. Chicago rose 21% to $234 and New York is up 18% to $297.

World leaders wary of dissing Trump Global barbs directed at the GOP candidate have become increasingly muted Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

Foreign leaders who harshly criticized Donald Trump’s world views earlier this year have clammed up now that he is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — and someone they may have to deal with if he winds up in the White House.

That doesn’t mean they no longer worry about many Trump positions, such as his proposals to build a wall along the southern border and make Mexico pay for it, temporarily ban Muslims from entering the USA and force forWASHINGTON

eign governments to pay more for U.S. troops stationed in their countries.

They realize they need to protect their relationship with the world’s most powerful nation by no longer airing their grievances as publicly as before.

President Obama underscored their concerns — expressed privately — when he said Thursday that the leaders at the Group of Seven summit in Japan are “rattled” by the prospect of a Trump presidency.

“A lot of the proposals he has made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines,” Obama said as he met with government heads from

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom for their annual two-day event.

Many leaders who criticized Trump from December through March are concerned about his disdain for free trade deals negotiated by Obama and past administrations and his pledge to renegotiate defense agreements to make allies in East Asia and Europe “pay their fair share.”

Many of those critics, however, have hushed or shifted to a more conciliatory tune.

All embassies contacted for this story by USA TODAY declined to comment on the record.

Trump responded to Obama’s remarks Thursday, telling reporters in Bismarck, N.D., that “If

they’re rattled in a friendly way that’s a good thing.”

Obama “is a man who shouldn’t be really airing his difficulties. ... He has not done a good job,” Trump said.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who had criticized Trump’s stance to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. earlier in the campaign, talked instead of common interests in early May. Asked how he would deal with a President Trump, who rejects the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, Trudeau said trade is key to shared goals of growth and prosperity.

“The level of integration between the Canadian and American economies is unlike anything else

... in the world,” he said in Ottawa, according to Reuters.

Saudi Arabia’s Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, a former ambassador to Washington, reflected much of the world’s puzzlement with Trump’s success on May 5 during a dinner for the Washington Institute on Near East Policy.

But unlike other Saudi leaders earlier in the campaign, he only offered friendly support to his American friends.

“For the life of me, I cannot believe that a country like the United States can afford to have someone as president who simply says, ‘These people are not going to be allowed to come to the United States,’ ” Turki said. “I just hope you, as American citizens, will make the right choice in November.”

Mountains of cash for states willing to help Murray announced after the Panama Papers release that an investigation had been launched and had found that M.F. Corporate Services “failed to maintain the required statutory information for performing the duties of a registered agent under Wyoming law” but has provided the missing information. Agency spokesman Will Dinneen said the investigation is ongoing, and he would not disclose what information was missing.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said the state would begin an investigation related to the Panama Papers. The Nevada secretary of State’s office spokeswoman, Kaitlin Barker, declined to answer questions about the exact nature or scope of the investigation there.

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

JUST ONE OF MANY

What set apart Mossack Fonseca is the blinding spotlight of a document leak that generated headlines around the world. The massive leak of documents highlighted how the Panamanian law firm helped the world’s rich and powerful, including government officials, celebrities and people at the center of international corruption cases, hide their financial assets and dealings.

Though many foreign-linked business entities are formed for legitimate purposes, USA TODAY’s review of Wyoming and Nevada business records suggests Mossack Fonseca’s U.S.-backed affiliates represent a narrow snapshot within a much broader landscape of overseas shell companies operating from the two states.

“If you think that there’s one law firm that’s orchestrating this around the world, that’s crazy,” said David Brunori, research professor of Public Policy and Public Administration at George Washington University.

Other registered agents in Nevada tied primarily to overseas addresses include Nevada Commercial Registered Agents, which is connected to more than 200 businesses formed in Nevada since 2000 — all but six of which trace back to the same post office box in Panama.

Nevada business records list the officer of the companies tied to that Panamanian post office box as David Batrick. USA TODAY found Batrick not in Panama but at an office in Nevada. Answering the phone near Lake Tahoe, Batrick said his operation should not be confused with shell company operations such as Mossack Fonseca’s.

“Nevada Commercial Registered Agents has nothing to do with anything like that type of activity,” he said. “We are not aware of any clients that do anything Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Nevertheless, a website tied to Batrick’s firm, Nevada123.com, advertises its services using the secrecy-friendly business laws of Nevada, Panama and St. Kitts and Nevis, among other jurisdictions.

“We believe in Liberty and the Right to conduct your personal and business affairs privately and confidentially behind the ‘veil’ of a Corporation or Limited Liability Company,” the website states.

Batrick declined to disclose his country of residence or citizenship but said it was not Panama or the USA. “Currently, you’ve called Nevada. I happen to be here,” he said.

“But I do not spend a lot of time in Nevada, nor am I a Nevada or a U.S. resident.”

MONEY LAUNDERING

Records show Doyle and Lanyon registered their companies through State Agent and Transfer Service, a registered agent service based at the address of a former wedding chapel in Carson City, one block from Nevada’s Capitol grounds.

State Agent and Transfer Syndicate is the 11th most-prolific registered agent in Nevada, the analysis shows. It has served as the registered agent for more than 13,000 companies.

Jed Block, president of State Agent and Transfer Syndicate and a former candidate for the Nevada Assembly, said registered agents in the state are not required or expected to research the backgrounds of individuals seeking to register corporations.

“Our main focus is filing and retrieval,” he said. “We don’t police, nor do we give legal advice. ...

We’re solely a document filing and retrieval service.”

Block said the companies connected to Doyle and Lanyon were registered by a third party, and he

Other firms that have specialized in registering foreign companies in Nevada include Okiebisu International, based in Nishinomiya, Japan. Okiebisu has registered 52 business entities in the state since 2013.

On its website, Okiebisu International advertises its services helping facilitate corporation registrations in select states in the USA, noting that American corporations are not subject to Japan’s Companies Act, which would require companies to disclose their owners.

Though the patterns are similar, it is impossible to discern exactly what purpose the companies serve.

Though many corporate entities tied to Mossack Fonseca have drawn attention for alleged connections to ethically and legally questionable activities, some shell companies are set up for legitimate business or personal privacy reasons.

Even among registered agents

“If you think that there’s one law firm that’s orchestrating this around the world, that’s crazy.”

David Brunori, research professor of Public Policy and Public Administration at George Washington University

The USA differs from other nations in that each state has its own laws governing corporations, the Tax Justice Network said in a report in 2015. As a result, “several states have engaged in a race to the bottom to outbid one other in offering ever more egregious secrecy facilities.”

Those states include Nevada and Wyoming, where Mossack Fonseca acted as a “registered agent,” which is a person or entity authorized to receive legal papers on behalf of a corporation, whose true owners may be anonymous.

Nevada and Wyoming, along with Delaware, are the most wellestablished U.S. havens of corporate secrecy, drawing in millions of dollars in revenue every year by registering companies behind a thick veil of corporate secrecy. A Delaware statute exempting bulk business data from the state’s freedom of information law makes any comprehensive analysis virtually impossible in that state.

Wyoming Secretary of State Ed

Federal officials are exploring rule changes in the wake of the Panama Papers disclosures.

On May 5, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew wrote to House Speaker Paul Ryan, urging congressional measures that would require businesses registered in the USA to disclose the people who actually own them — referred to as the “beneficial owners.”

“Criminals are currently able to misuse companies to hide this beneficial owner, significantly weakening our ability to fight financial crime,” Lew wrote. “This problem can only be resolved with congressional action.”

Last month, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., requested an array of documents from the Nevada and Wyoming secretaries of State as part of a Senate Finance Committee investigation into the registration and state oversight of Mossack Fonseca-linked companies in those states and the implications.

“We need to better understand what these companies are up to,” Wyden said. “As shell companies can be abused for tax evasion, government fraud and terrorist financing, Congress needs to work with the states and the administration to investigate the issue and take any necessary action.”

At the state level, changing the rules faces resistance from officials because states have become accustomed to the increasing revenue streams from registration fees.

When Nevada lawmakers began to debate changes to further loosen the state’s corporation registration laws in 2001, many lawmakers were outraged.

The legislation implemented protections for directors and officers of companies against legal liability.

“Make no mistake these subtle changes are significant,” thenstate Sen. Bob Coffin told his colleagues in 2001, according to legislative transcripts. “Scoundrels can move here.”

Another senator said the changes were equivalent to hanging up a sign saying, “Sleaze balls and rip-off artists welcome here.”

Though there have been recent efforts to close corporate secrecy loopholes in Nevada, little has been done to lessen the state’s reputation as a haven for corporate secrecy.

In testimony before the state Senate in 2013, Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller begged lawmakers to consider changes that would give officials more oversight over who can register corporations in the state.

“My Labrador Jack, if he were a natural person, could be a commercial registered agent if he had $75,” Miller said, “because he has a Nevada address and is capable of fetching the paper.”

FALLUJAH RESIDENTS: ISLAMIC STATE IS TURNING US INTO ‘HUMAN SHIELDS’ Ammar Al Shamary Special for USA TODAY

BAGHDAD Civilians caught in the advance on Fallujah by Iraq’s military are being forced by the Islamic State to serve as “human shields” in areas where the militants expect airstrikes from a U.S.led coalition, residents said Thursday.

“The Islamic State began moving families living in the outskirts to the center,” resident Salem al Halbusi said by telephone. “They are locking some families down inside the hospital building.”

Since Sunday, Iraqi military and militia forces have prepared to enter Fallujah, about 40 miles west of Baghdad, as airstrikes have pounded the militant-held city. The Iraqi government said that recapturing the city is key to stopping Islamic State attacks in the capital that have killed hundreds over the past few months.

The head of command for the province, Gen. Ismail al Mahlalwai, said the noose is tightening around the city. “We killed around 100 (Islamic State) militants since Tuesday,” he said.

Despite that progress, local police said in a statement that the Islamic State was creating obstacles that include booby traps and improvised explosive devices that would need to be cleared before ground troops can enter the city.

Meanwhile, the militants are squeezing civilians, residents and military officials said.

“They are making people freak out by telling them, ‘The army and militia are coming to kill you all,’ ” al Halbusi said.

“They claim they have achieved a big victory against Iraqi forces,” he added. “And they distributed some sweets for kids, trying to get people on their side.”

Fallujah is largely a city of Sunnis, the same Muslim sect as the militants, while the government, armed forces and militias are com-

posed mainly of Shiites. The militants, who captured the city in 2014 when they first swept into Iraq, have held the support of many Sunnis around the country by warning that the Shiites are their enemy.

So far, more than a dozen families have escaped Fallujah and have taken shelter with the Iraqi army, according to a Joint Operation Center statement. Most have been placed in a camp, and the men separated from their families as security forces question them.

Remaining residents say any civilian caught trying to escape or hanging a white flag to protect themselves during airstrikes are doing so under the threat of death.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Charles Brown said the coalition takes great care to minimize civilian casualties. Over the past 24 hours, coalition aircraft launched four strikes around Fallujah, targeting three Islamic State units, two tunnels, four vehicles, an artillery piece, a weapons cache and three fighting positions, U.S. Central Command announced Thursday.

Conditions in the city have steadily deteriorated, according to a United Nations report. “We want the army to arrive soon to get us out of this prison,” resident Abo Ahmad al Essawi said.

Abortion opponents in Oklahoma raced the clock Thursday in an attempt to override Gov.

Mary Fallin’s veto of what would become the nation’s most restrictive abortion law.

The measure would strip physicians who perform abortions of their medical licenses and possibly expose them to criminal charges — essentially banning abortion except to save the life of a mother.

The state legislative session ends Friday, making it the last day the bill’s sponsors can try to amass the two-thirds majority required in the state House and Senate to get past the Republican governor’s veto.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm, a Republican, expressed confidence SB 1552 would pass constitutional muster, an opinion questioned by Fallin, foes of the measure and some legal scholars.

For the first time, doctors have diagnosed an American with a superbug that can’t be treated with an antibiotic of last resort, an ominous development in the battle against antibiotic resistance.

Defense Department researchers diagnosed the superbug in a 49-year-old woman at a Pennsylvania military clinic, who had symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Doctors sent her lab sample to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where researchers learned that the E. coli bacteria causing her infection were resistant to colistin, an antibiotic used when all else fails.

Colistin was approved in the 1950s but fell out of use in the 1970s because of its toxicity. It has made a comeback in recent years as bacteria have become resistant to other antibiotics.

Health officials have warned for years of the growing danger of antibiotic-resistant “nightmare bacteria.” Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics when they evolve in ways that prevent them from being killed by medications.

The problem has been fueled by overuse of antibiotics, which are used not only in medicine but also food production.

One in three antibiotic prescriptions is unnecessary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last month. President Obama last year announced a plan for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria to address the problem.

“We risk being in a post-antibiotic world,” CDC director Thomas Frieden said. “The medicine cabinet is empty for some patients.”

Frieden said it was significant that the woman hadn’t traveled outside the U.S., suggesting that the resistant strain is circulating here. Similar superbugs were diagnosed in people and animals in

China last year.

Although the problem is serious, the number of E. coli bacteria resistant to colistin is still relatively small in the U.S. and Europe, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Antibiotics revolutionized medicine in the mid-20th century, making surgeries safer. If infections can’t be treated by antibiotics, people could die from small wounds or minor surgery.

Bacteria today are mutating faster than pharmaceutical companies can develop drugs to kill them. Because most people take antibiotics for a few days or a week, they aren’t very profitable, giving drug companies little incentive to invest in them.

“The major pharmaceutical companies have dropped many of their anti-infective programs over the last decade,” said Peter Hotez, director of the Sabin Vaccine Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine De-

Already, about 700,000 people a year die from resistant infections, according to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, a project commissioned by the British government in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust. In the U.S. alone, 2 million people develop resistant infections each year and 23,000 die, according to the CDC.

velopment in Houston. “We’re going to need new actors to take on programs of antimicrobial resistance.”

Two senators — Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Orrin Hatch, RUtah — have introduced legislation to speed up the approval of new antibiotics. It would allow the Food and Drug Administration to expedite an antibiotic’s approval for an “identifiable, limited patient population,” such as those with antibiotic-resistant infections, if the drug treats a serious or life-threatening condition and addresses an unmet need.

“We need new drugs to fight these antibiotic-resistant bacteria that pose serious and unique challenges,” Bennet said.

Tiny wasps’ big task: Battle borers Donnelle Eller

The Des Moines Register FAIRFIELD, IOWA

In a bug vs. bug matchup, Iowa scientists plan to unleash several thousand wasps, each the size of a pinhead, to battle the invasive emerald ash borer, a pest that’s destroyed thousands of trees across Iowa.

The first wave of the parasitic, stingless wasps will be released at Whitham Woods, near Fairfield, in the coming days to attack the dreaded ash borer, which has infested 31 of Iowa’s 99 counties and large swaths of the USA. Millions of tiny wasps that are natural parasites for the emerald ash borer have been released into wooded areas in 24 states as the battle against the tree-killing borer is biological, according to the Associated Press.

It’s the first time Iowa has used the beneficial insects to attack the emerald ash borer.

The parasitic wasps “will not be a ‘silver bullet’ for the problems we face,” said Mike Kintner of the Iowa Department of Agriculture, but they will “lessen the impact.”

Here’s how: The parasitic wasps are expected to control the emerald ash borer population, potentially slowing the Asian invaders’ spread across that branch, the Times-News reported.

Scientists hope the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect, will fall prey to a parasitic, stingless wasp, inset, which is about the size of a pinhead. the country. Iowa will use two species of parasitic wasps. One lays its eggs inside the emerald ash borer egg; the other, its larvae. Both use the borer to feed its offspring.

Ben Slager of the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the parasitic wasps “won’t save the big beautiful ash that you’ve come to love in your front yard.

But they will save the generation of trees that will come from those seeds,” giving new trees a chance at survival.

The parasitic wasps are

harmless to people, said Kintner, the Agriculture Department’s emerald ash borer and gypsy moth coordinator.

“The word ‘wasps’ does create alarm, but they are very small — not recognizable by the average person,” said Kintner, who added that the USDA supplies the wasps to Iowa at no cost.

The wasps are about the size of a gnat or a grain of rice.

“These are not like your typical wasps,” he said. “They have no interest in people.”

Says anti-dumping penalties deliberate, will hamper trade

China has charged the U.S. with unfair trade policies after imposing a new wave of penalties on low-priced steel imports.

After the Commerce Department on Wednesday announced anti-dumping duties on Chinese corrosion-resistant steel prod-

ucts of up to 210%, that country’s Ministry of Commerce accused the U.S. of hampering trade. Last week, the U.S. announced duties of up to 522% on cold-rolled steel used in automobiles and other manufacturing.

“The United States has deliberately suppressed the bulk of Chinese steel exports,” the Ministry said in a statement. “This not only harms Chinese steel enterprises but hinders trade and cooperation between enterprises.”

Criticism of China, which is the world’s largest steel producer, has escalated as the G7 convenes in Tokyo. In advance of the meet-

A steady contraction in production among cashstrapped U.S. producers and a corresponding slide in inventories have fueled a rebound.

put a June hike very much back on the table. That more hawkish Fed message has been reinforced by many Fed speakers in the days that followed, with some Fed members calling for as many as three rate hikes in 2016 and more to come next year. While the threat of more Fed rate hikes, perhaps as early as June, hasn’t caused a bear market in stocks, it clearly has slowed the momentum of the broad equity market, which has gone more than a year since hitting its last record high.

Indeed, the new “I’m not afraid of rising rates” messaging started Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average shot up more than 200 points that day after Wall Street got word that April newhome sales rose to their best levels in eight years. Bob Doll, chief investment strategist at Nuveen Asset Management said investors were starting to get used to the idea of a rate hike.

And from there Wall Street started to come up with reason after reason why Fed rate hikes weren’t necessarily a death sentence for stocks.

David Bianco, a stock strategist at Deutsche Bank, wrote in a report that “a summer hike is fine, provided the Fed doesn’t hike

ager of Forester Value fund, told CNBC that hiking rates now is the Fed’s way of piling up “ammo” to combat the next recession.

The emerging bullish storyline, however, comes with caveats.

First, performance statistics show that while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has eked out an average gain of 0.9% in the six months after the Fed’s first rate hike and a 4.5% return 12 months later, those returns are less robust than the far more sizable gains after the first rate cut, when stocks were 11.6% higher six months later and 15.2% a year later, according to data dating to the end of 1945 supplied by S&P Capital IQ. The fact is stock performance is less robust when the Fed is in rate-hiking mode.

And despite the recent whitewashing of Fed-related risks, there are still many ways the Fed can err and cause financial pain.

The biggest risk is if the Fed hikes rates not once but two or even three times this year. Right now, while there’s a 32% chance of a Fed hike in June, no other hikes are currently priced in.

“Three more hikes this year would hurt the market if economic growth doesn’t pick up,” warns Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management.

Apple’s dalliance with Hollywood and rumors of a studio play have circulated even before Toy Story hit the big screen in 1995.

A report Thursday that Apple considered a bid for Time Warner, owner of Warner Bros., HBO and other media properties, should not come as a surprise.

The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, said Apple exec Eddy Cue broached a deal with Olaf Olafsson, head of corporate strategy at Time Warner. The talks were preliminary, however, and did not involve Apple CEO Tim Cook or Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, the report said.

Apple and Time Warner declined comment on the report.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch @adamshell USA TODAY

It was quite a trial balloon the Federal Reserve embedded last week in the minutes from its April meeting. The message to investors was straightforward: A June rate hike is coming if the economic data is good heading into next month’s Fed meeting.

Every Fed speaker since the May 15 minutes has confirmed the Fed is getting ready to move next month. At first, Wall Street was caught off guard, pushing stocks down. But there has been a shift in the narrative, with investors now sending out signals it no longer fears a June rate hike and thinks the economy and markets can withstand a quarter-point rise in rates to 0.75%.

“It was the minutes that did it,

without a doubt,” says David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “Before the minutes everybody was thinking, ‘They won’t do anything in June.’ The minutes really changed everyone’s perception.”

That change in the groupthink on Wall Street could take the sting out of any comments leaning toward a June hike by Fed Chair Janet Yellen on Friday at Harvard. “The minutes were the rumor, and Yellen could be the news,” Blitzer says. “The Fed is backing away from the fire-fighting business (or basing policy on emergency conditions).”

With the housing market showing strength and the U.S. economy and consumer in decent shape, it’s unlikely the market will be sunk by a one quarterpoint hike, he says: “I don’t think the sky will fall.”

Analysts expect Dollar Tree to keep on growing Q: Can dollar stores keep cashing in?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors who own a piece of a dollar store must be wondering why they keep hearing about trouble in retail. In the discount retail segment, business is good and expected to stay that way.

In stark contrast to the disappointing results this week at high-end retailer Tiffany’s, Dollar Tree on Thursday reported 25% higher adjusted profit in the quarter that ended in April. The bottom line beat earnings expectations by nearly 10%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

Revenue for the quarter essentially matched expectations, but that was a 134% gain from the same year-ago period. The big jump in revenue is due to the company’s acquisition of Family Dollar.

Even so, sales at stores open at least a year were up 2.3%, which is exactly the kind of growth other retailers would love to have.

Dollar Tree’s results pushed the stock up $10.01, or 13%, to $88.37 Thursday and set a 52-week high. The stock is up 17% the past year, putting it close to the average analysts’ 18-month price target of $89.63.

But while the stock might be played out for now, analysts are betting there’s plenty of growth left. Estimates are calling for 62% growth in adjusted profit this fiscal year as consumers continue to look for deals.

IPOs not dead yet as four companies sell $1.5B in stock IPOs in terms of proceeds raised and number of deals offered, Renaissance says.

“This is firm evidence of the IPO market’s recovery — the U.S. IPO market has found its footing,” Renaissance analyst Matthew Kennedy says.

US Foods was the largest deal of the group by far. The Illinoisbased company sold 44.4 million shares at $23 apiece, raising $1 billion. Investors seemed to like what they saw as they drove the shares up another 8.3% to $24.91 in the first day of trading.

Reata was the deal with the strongest first day reception,

DISNEY

Rousing remake re-examines the ‘Roots’ of U.S. history New miniseries does a lot of things better Some things we struggle to remember. Some things, we can’t be allowed to forget.

Certainly for many viewers, memories of Roots, ABC’s groundbreaking 1977 miniseries adaptation of Alex Haley’s novel, either have faded or are non-existent. It set ratings records and changed forever the “ happy helpers” view of slavery created by Gone With the Wind — but it did so 40 years ago, in a very different TV environment.

Cable’s History network could have just reintroduced the old miniseries to a new generation rather than create this new Roots (Monday, 9 ET/PT, eeeg out of four), which airs on four consecutive nights on History, Lifetime and A&E. But times and tastes have changed since 1977: We tell stories differently, and we know more about this story than we once did.

And this story — about a man and a people, what brought them here and what happened to them once they arrived — deserves to be told.

Roots, however, is more than just a worthy venture; it’s an enthralling one. There are a few clumsy spills into melodrama, but overall this eight-hour effort is rousing, funny, frightening and heartbreaking — an affirmation of life and a condemnation of racism in all its ancient and surviving forms.

And while this new version obviously owes much to the original, it goes its own way in many TV PREVIEW ROBERT BIANCO

STEVE DIETL, HISTORY

Forest Whitaker, left, and Malachi Kirby, as Fiddler and Kunta Kinte, are two of many casting highlights in History’s Roots. important aspects, starting with Monday’s premiere — which offers a richer exploration of Africa’s Mandinka culture — and ending with the last, which goes more deeply into the AfricanAmerican experience during the Civil War. Characters go in different directions than they once did in a world where life seems harsher and more violent, and appropriately so.

Where the original cast was filled with established TV stars, the new one offers a mix of big names and new discoveries.

Tony-winner Anika Noni Rose (Kizzy), Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker (Fiddler) and Justified star Erica Tazel, standouts all, share screen time with relative unknowns Malachi Kirby (Kunta) and Emayatzy Corinealdi (Belle) — both of whom should be stars.

Kirby, in particular, is such a major casting find that he balances out the Chicken George of fellow

Brit Regé-Jean Page, who is not yet up to carrying the weight Roots places upon him.

As before, we move through the generations — and with each generational shift, the show’s point of view (and director) changes. All of them preserve their cultural identity, passed on through beads, stories and music.

At its heart, Roots was (and remains) entertainment as education, and there are times when the lessons land a bit heavily and the characterizations feel a bit light. (With the sometimes exception of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s Tom Lea, subtlety seldom visits any of the white men.) But the best-drawn and best-played characters are as vibrant as ever, and the lesson they have to impart is perhaps even more important.

We didn’t fully absorb that lesson the first time around. Perhaps the second Roots will have better luck.

New cheese shop opens in Lawrence Plus: Home sales gain steam, but shortage persists

I

have news of cheese and also news of people buying new homes. And though it may sound like it, this isn’t a follow-up to the wild cheese party that ended up with Gouda in places that was no Gouda.

First, the cheese news.

Look for a new store inside the Dillons at Sixth and Wakarusa. The longtime New York-based purveyor

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Murray’s Cheese has signed a deal with Dillons’ parent company to open cheese shops across the country.

Lawrence has landed one of them.

The Murray’s Cheese shop at the Dillons at 4701 W. Sixth St. opened last weekend. According to information from Dillons, the cheese shop will stock more than 175 varieties of cheese, plus it will carry other items such as local honey and preserves, olives, crackers and charcuterie.

Shutterstock Image

That is right, charcuterie.

My, how far we have come in a short time. I honestly had never heard of the word before late 2013 when I wrote about plans for Hank Charcuterie to open at 19th and Massachusetts.

I thought it was a critter that we may find the fellows on “Swamp People” chasing down. But now I have learned that charcuterie is French for “too expensive to serve to my friends.”

(Don’t let that dissuade you, though. That’s more of a commentary on my friends than the prices.) In case you somehow don’t know what charcuterie is, it refers to sausages, pates and other specialty meat products that go well with cheeses and other appetizers.

To be honest, I also hadn’t heard much about Murray’s Cheese before, but that’s mainly because I have tried to cut way down on the number of cheese conversations I have during the course of a day. According to Dillons, though, Murray’s is one of the more famous cheese shops in New York.

It has been open since 1940,

and has drawn large crowds to its original location in Greenwich Village.

The deal with Dillons calls for Murray’s to stock its most popular cheeses at Dillons. Looking at the store’s website, it appears varieties include: Parmigiano-Reggiano; English Cheddar; Irish Cheddar; Roquefort blue cheese; Havarti, Alpine style Grand Cru cheese; a variety of BellaVitano cheeses; marinated mozzarella; and more than a half dozen styles of Gouda, including smoked, aged, farmhouse, double cream and others. They even have a cheese platter called “Life is Gouda.” (Wait a minute.

I thought I had the market cornered on Gouda puns.)

One other point to note about the new cheese shop: It encourages people to sample a different variety of cheese on each visit.

Home sales up If I took Murray’s up on that offer, I may need to buy a house with wider doors.

Maybe that is what is going on with other folks in town.

Whatever the case, Lawrence

home sales were up in the important month of April.

Home sales in Lawrence grew by 10.5 percent in April, compared with April 2015 totals, according to the latest report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

I’m sure that was a welcome site for Lawrence real estate agents because 2016 sales had started off a bit sluggish.

During the first quarter of the year, sales were down by 1.1 percent.

But with April’s strong showing, homes sales are now up for the year.

Through April, sales are up 3.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago.

The report, though, does provide reason for concern.

The number of homes on the market in Lawrence continues to decline significantly. At the end of April, 250 homes were on the market, which is down from 346 in April 2015 and 429 in April 2014. Real estate agents believe a small supply of homes ultimately will lead to a reduction in sales and also an increase in home prices. At the moment, it is making for a seller’s market.

The result is homes are not sitting on the market for long. Thus far in 2016, the median number of days a home sits on the market before selling is 28. That’s down from 43 in 2015 and 60 in 2014.

“The pace of this market can be challenging for everyone,” said Carl Cline, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

Other statistics from the recent report include: l Sales of newly constructed homes were up slightly in April, totaling nine versus seven in April 2015. For the year, sales of newly constructed homes are up 37 percent, totaling 22. l The median selling prices of homes this year is $167,565, up 5.4 percent from the same period a year ago. l The total dollar value of homes sold in Lawrence thus far in 2016 is $61.1 million, up 6.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago.

THE FIRST THING to consider in designing a home office is who will be using it and for what purpose.

Shutterstock Image

Home office space can add value to a home Real Estate T Matters he home office has evolved since the days of black-andwhite television, when it was often referred to as the den and functioned as a refuge from the family. Today, many buyers have a home office on their must-have lists.

The past 50 years have seen changes in home design. Formal living and dining rooms are falling out of favor. More and more, those spaces are being used for a home office. An efficient workspace combined with the comforts of home is a major selling point.

When evaluating a home office space, the first detail to consider is who will be using it and why. While it may seem that an office is just an office, it can serve many functions: employment space, bill paying, homework space, craft area. Being clear on what you’ll use the space for and who will use it are keys to making a space work for you.

Linda Ditch lindaaditch@gmail.com

If more than one person will be using the home office, you may need more than one workstation and different types of storage. If you’re running a business or working at home, you may want the ability to shut a door or find another way to ensure privacy for phone calls and concentration. You may also need to consider data and document security for sensitive information.

Other key design elements to consider for a

home office include: l What type of storage do you need? Do you have a lot of files?

What resources will be stored in the space? Will those items be displayed or hidden? The most common storage is the file cabinet, but there are other options. File box systems that fit on shelves or pieces of furniture, such as ottomans or cedar chests, that are designed to hide files may work best. Also, don’t forget storage for office supplies. l What tools are necessary? Are there enough electrical outlets? With the advent of wireless computers and all-inone printers, often these items can be tucked out of sight. Charging stations are also important to keep cellphones, tablets and computers ready to go. Plus, don’t forget a shredder to dispose of sensitive papers. l Style and comfort: Though an efficient workspace is impor-

tant, style and comfort are what differentiate a home from a job office.

Use decor that inspires the work at hand. Choose a desk that fits your body and a chair conducive to long periods of sitting.

Use a desk lamp for task lighting instead of a lot of overhead lights.

The creation of a home office is a project a do-it-yourselfer can tackle with relative ease. Plus, it doesn’t have to cost a lot. Reusing existing furniture in a new way turns your whole house into a furniture showroom.

A desk can be as simple as placing a laminate countertop on two inexpensive file cabinets.

Plus, online sites, local flea markets and garage sales, are also great resources for furniture, storage, and design elements (wall hangings, lamps, file cabinets, etc.)

Separate yard waste collection will resume on Monday, June 6th.

CLASS 6A STATE BASEBALL

Runs rule

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

If Art Briles can be fired ...

The passion winning creates in sports can result in emotions hijacking brains, as evidenced by the overthe-top support shown late, great football coach Joe Paterno when it was revealed he looked the other way when his pedophile defensive coordinator destroyed so many lives by violating young boys.

If it could happen in Happy Valley, home of the sainted Paterno, it could happen just about anywhere.

Fast-forward to Thursday for a sign of progress, maybe even a watershed moment in jock culture at long last being forced to adhere to the standards of the civilized world.

Baylor University fired Art Briles, the football coach who with great skill and charisma dragged the program from the basement of the Big 12 to perennial national-title contender.

Sexual-assault accusations leveled against multiple Baylor football players led to an independent conclusion that Briles and school administrators handled the situation so poorly that the university had to fire the football coach and discipline his so-called superiors.

For so long, jock culture all but ensured that winning equated to throwing a fresh coat of paint over even the most rotted wood. Not anymore. If it could happen in Happy Valley it could happen anywhere has given way to if as magnificent a coach as Briles can be fired, any coach can be fired, regardless of how many victories and donations he piles up.

Pepper Hamilton, a law firm hired by Baylor last September to do an investigation into the stunning outbreak of sexualassault accusations in the program, came up with findings so disturbing that when regents read the 23page report, one of them, David Harper, said regents were “shocked,” “sad” and “angry.” Two of the players were convicted and sent to jail for their crimes.

Other accusations were (mis)handled “internally” within the athletic department.

A statement released Thursday by the Baylor board of regents read, in part, “Pepper also found examples of actions by University administrators that directly discouraged complainants from reporting or participating in student conduct processes, or that contributed or accommodated a hostile environment. In one instance, those actions constituted retaliation against a complainant for reporting sexual assault.”

Here’s hoping Briles’ firing will result in victims having more confidence that if they report crimes, their allegations will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, no matter how famous, how lionized the rapist.

Free State hitters dominate Derby

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

off last year’s state title run with a similar effort — 7 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 5 strikeouts on fewer than 80 pitches in a Round 1 victory.

Thursday, Gudde needed just 55 pitches to go the distance, and that, as was the case a year ago, sets up the very likely scenario that the senior hurler will pitch again today.

“Everything about this past

In the week leading up to the Class 6A state tournament, Free State High baseball players were expecting a pitcher’s duel in the first round against Derby. Their bats had a different idea.

Along with a dominant outing from senior pitcher Hunter Gudde, the Firebirds did more than enough damage at the plate en route to a 10-0 run-rule victory in five innings on Thursday in the first round of the state tournament at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Free State (19-4) will meet top-seeded Blue Valley (21-2) in the state semifinals around 2 p.m. today. The state tournament, which had two quarterfinals games postponed, will play with a rolling schedule. The Tigers advanced with a 5-1 win against Junction City.

The defending state champion Firebirds were comfortable in the batter’s box and sprayed nine hits all over the field, making at-bats against top pitchers look like it was another day of batting practice.

“I didn’t sense any jitters at all,” Free State coach Mike Hill said. “The kids were jacked up and ready to go. Certainly, if you can get ahead and knowing who we had on the mound, I think everybody felt pretty comfortable.”

The Firebirds scored five runs in the first two innings — all with two outs. Sophomore Kyle Abrahamson lined an RBI single into center field in the first inning, and scored when a fly ball was dropped in the outfield.

FREE STATE SENIOR HUNTER GUDDE PITCHED A COMPLETE GAME SHUTOUT against Derby in a 10-0, fiveinning victory Thursday at Hoglund Ballpark at Kansas University in the first round of the Class 6A state tournament.

Coach leaves ace in the game

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Most decisions baseball managers make have a direct impact on the game in front of them.

But Thursday, during the first round of the Class 6A state tournament at Hoglund Ballpark, one of the biggest decisions Free State coach Mike Hill faced came with an eye toward the future.

Leading 5-0 through two

innings, with Sunflower League pitcher of the year Hunter Gudde on the mound, Hill easily could have taken his ace out of the game and saved his arm for Friday’s semifinals and potential state title game.

He didn’t, and Gudde cruised to a complete-game, one-hit shutout during the fourth-seeded Firebirds’ 10-0, five-inning victory over Derby.

If that sounds familiar it’s likely because Gudde kicked

Robinson turns potential into performance

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When coaches and fellow athletes watched Tayvien Robinson run hurdles last year, they all saw his potential. It just takes time to put all of the elements of racing together.

It’s no longer potential. In the past two weeks, Robinson has proven he is one of the state’s best in the 110-meter hurdles, winning Sunflower League and regional titles.

He’s seeded third for prelims at the Class 6A state meet, which starts at 8 a.m. today at Wichita State.

A 6-foot-4 senior at Lawrence High, Robinson speaks softly. He’s impossible to miss when he’s running down the middle lanes. He uses his long frame to his advantage and speeds through the finish line.

Briles out as Baylor coach EAST

Austin, Texas (ap) — Baylor University demoted school President Ken Starr and fired football coach Art Briles on Thursday, issuing a scathing report over the university’s handling of sexual assault complaints against players.

The board of regents at the nation’s largest Baptist university said in a statement that Starr, a former prosecutor who investigated the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, will vacate the presidency on May 31 and stay on as school chancellor. It said it suspended Briles “with intent to terminate” and placed athletic director Ian McCaw on probation.

Starr asked a law firm last year to review Baylor’s handling of sexual assault cases following allegations that the school mishandled several cases in which football players

OKLAHOMA CITY’S KEVIN DURANT, LEFT, SHOOTS AGAINST Golden State’s Andrew Bogut during Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. The Warriors won, 120-111, on Thursday night in Oakland, Calif.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Warriors stay alive in West Oakland, Calif. (ap) — “We’re not going home! We’re not going home!” Stephen Curry screamed at the top of his lungs.

No, his Golden State Warriors are going back to Oklahoma City, after keeping their title reign and the winningest season in NBA history alive for at least one more game.

Curry scored 31 points, raising his arms in the early moments to awaken Golden State’s raucous crowd, and the defending champions staved off elimination with a 120-111 victory over the Thunder on Thursday night in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.

For all the speculation about the current state of Curry’s beat-up body — that troublesome ankle, sore knee or tender elbow — he did it all.

“I thought he looked like 91 percent,” coach Steve Kerr cracked. “He came out and played a really good game.

That’s all I can tell you. He’s going to compete every night.

He had an excellent night and helped us get it done.”

The MVP made a snazzy layup late and dished out six assists, while Klay Thompson added 27 points as Golden State sent the best the best-of-seven series back to Oklahoma City for Game 6 on Saturday night.

Golden State trails 3-2 and is trying to become just the 10th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit.

How former Jayhawks fared Nick Collison, Oklahoma City Did not play (coach’s decision).

Brandon Rush, Golden State Did not play (inactive).

“None of us want to go home,” Thompson said. “We’re having too much fun out there.”

Kevin Durant scored 40 points and Russell Westbrook added 31 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and five steals for the Thunder, trying for the fifth NBA Finals appearance in franchise history and chasing just the second championship after the 1978-79 Seattle SuperSonics won it all.

“He’s a tornado,” Kerr said of Westbrook.

The record-setting, 73-win Warriors, coming off their first back-to-back defeats all season, had been blown out in two losses at Oklahoma City by a combined 52 points.

Durant’s three-pointer with 4:34 left got the Thunder within 103-98, then Curry answered with a three-point play.

Curry scored seven points in a 58-second stretch of the second quarter, but the Thunder didn’t go away easily.

“I liked our will, I liked our fight,” Kerr said. “We were

Paris — First it was Serena Williams’ turn to overpower an opponent 6-2, 6-1 on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Shortly after that was over Thursday, her older sister Venus entered the very same French Open arena and won by the very same score.

A bit like old times?

“It’s a little surreal sometimes, because it has been so long.

They’ve both been out here almost 20 years,” said their sister, Isha Price, who was in the stands for both matches.

“It was nice to have them play back-to-back and not have to move,” Price added with a laugh.

“It’s so interesting that their scoreline was the same. It was really nice to be there for that.”

Back in 2002, when neither was yet 22, the American siblings contested the final at Roland Garros, one of their eight all-in-the-family Grand Slam title matches — and they haven’t played each other at any stage in Paris since.

That’s due in part to Venus’ troubles at the clay-court tournament, where, now nearly 36, she moved into the third round for the first time since 2010 by relinquishing only three games in 54 minutes against American qualifier Louisa Chirico. Defending champion Serena’s similarly simple victory against 81stranked Teliana Pereira of Brazil lasted 12 minutes longer.

Storms trim NCAAs

TWO MEET OFFICIALS WALK THE STADIUM surveying water left on the field and debris thrown about after severe weather interrupted the NCAA Track and Field West preliminaries on Thursday at Rock Chalk Park.

Robinson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Last year, Robinson competed for Free State after spending his first two years at Topeka High.

When he joined the Firebirds, he wasn’t envisioning state titles. He joined the team because some of his friends already ran track.

Robinson didn’t have a long background in track.

He ran hurdles for an AAU program in the summer before his freshman year, but he didn’t run during his sophomore year.

Working with Free State coach Jordan Rose last season, it started clicking for Robinson. He was raw and had to shake some rust, but all of the tools were there.

“I still think of him as one of mine, too. (LHS coach) Jack (Hood) and I share him,” Rose joked.

“He’s somebody that put a lot of work in last year. He made huge improvements his junior year, so seeing him having that success this year has been very satisfying.”

Fast forward to this season, and Robinson said he was in top shape from playing basketball at LHS. When he raced into virtual ties against junior teammate Trey Moore at the beginning of the year, who took fifth at state last season in the 110 hurdles, Robinson knew he was on

the right path.

“Every practice, he would keep up with me and work harder,” Moore said. “His technique and form would get better each day. I just knew at the end of the time he would get as good as me or even better.”

The final step for Robinson was taking his strong performances from practice and proving himself at big meets.

“Shawnee Mission North Relays, I got sixth and I was like, ‘OK, maybe this is going to be a bad year,’” Robinson said.

One week after the SM North Relays, Robinson found himself at the league meet. Rain pushed back the start of the meet, and Robinson was becoming late for a family reunion in Topeka. With time for only one race, Robinson left it all out on the track and won in 15.17 seconds.

“I wanted to show out knowing that I wouldn’t run another event,” he said.

Robinson duplicated his performance at regionals last week, edging his teammate Moore for first place by 0.02 seconds.

Still undecided where he will run in college, Robinson is proud to see his hard work pay off and excited to see how he performs in his first state meet.

“It helps a lot knowing that since I’m a senior, I get looked at a lot,” Robinson said. “Now I’m one of the top-ranked hurdlers here, I get a lot of recognition. It’s pretty fun. I love it.”

BRIEFLY dicted by an Arizona grand jury last year on felony aggravated assault charges for allegedly beating a man outside a Phoenix recreation center. The case is still pending.

Andover Central defeats Eudora

Morris

Markieff Morris held at airport Washington — A person familiar with the situation says Washington Wizards and former Kansas University forward Markieff Morris was detained at Philadelphia International Airport and then released.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because Morris was not charged. The person did not specify why Morris was detained.

The Wizards said in a statement they “spoke with Markieff earlier today and will continue to gather more details.”

Tinicum Township Police and Morris’ lawyer did not respond to messages seeking comment.

Morris and twin brother Marcus, a forward for the Detroit Pistons, were in-

Salina — Eudora High fell to Andover Central, 4-2, on Thursday in the first round of the Class 4A Div. I baseball tournament.

The Cardinals finished 18-5.

“It’s been a great year,” Eudora coach Wilson Kilmer said. “We didn’t play our best game today, unfortunately, but we still had a chance. I’m really proud of this group, especially the seniors, how they led us.”

2B — Jared Fry, E. Eudora highlights — Fry 2 hits; Ben Van Diest 1 hit, 2 runs; Aaron Foster 1 hit.

Eudora final record — 18-5.

Eudora softball rained out Salina — Eudora High’s softball team will have to wait one more day to play in the Class 4A-I state tournament.

Storms postponed Eudora’s first-round matchup against Augusta on Thursday. Today’s start time will be determined after the weather is assessed at 9 a.m.

Heavy rain, strong winds and lightning made it impossible to hold a track meet on Thursday afternoon/evening at Rock Chalk Park.

Thus, the first day of the NCAA West Prelims were beset with delays until first day’s action was officially postponed at 6:53 p.m.

“We got about 2⁄3 way through the men’s hammer and women’s javelin and that is it,” a Kansas University official stated.

Those two events started at noon.

“Nothing else has been completed or started,” the official added.

The men’s and women’s pole vault have been

moved to Anschutz Pavilion today and will start at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively. The women’s 10K will be held bright and early at 8 a.m., with the men’s 10K to run at 8:40.

At various junctures after 5 p.m., Rock Chalk Park was closed to fans who waited in their cars for a fierce storm to pass through town. The storm knocked down various tents at the facility, including some camp areas for teams. No injuries were reported, KU officials said.

Go to KUathletics.com for a revised schedule for the meet which runs all day today and will conclude Saturday.

Twitter updates on the meet will be available all day at @KUtrack.

Healthy outfielder Bryant proves a luxury for Firebirds

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Earlier this spring, when junior Daniel Bryant suffered a shoulder injury, Free State High baseball coach Mike Hill wasn’t sure the speedy outfielder would be able to return to the Firebirds’ lineup.

Bryant, it turned out, bounced back better than expected, but during his time off for recovery sophomore Kyle Abrahamson emerged as a key cog for Class 6A’s defending state champions.

“When Daniel got healthy again,” Hill explained, “where do you put him? You’ve got (senior Hunter) Gudde, (junior Jacob) Pavlyak and Abrahamson in the outfield.”

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

In the second inning, after junior Daniel Bryant hit a two-out single and junior Jacob Pavlyak drew a walk, senior Mikey Corbett and junior Zion Bowlin hit back-toback RBI doubles.

“They left a lot of balls on the middle of the plate and we didn’t miss them,” said Abrahamson, who went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBIs. That was all the run support needed for Gudde, recently named the Sunflower League’s Pitcher of the Year.

Gudde, making his first start since April 16 when he became team’s closer, was dominant on the

two weeks has felt very similar (to last year),” Gudde said. “My teammates and I have been talking a lot about that.”

Although no one in the Free State dugout expected the offense to explode for 10 runs, Hill said he never considered resting Gudde during Thursday’s first two innings. That changed when the Firebirds added a run in the bottom of the third.

“At 6-0, there was a decision,” Hill said. “He was not gonna go 7 innings at 6-0. We weren’t gonna do that.”

Fortunately for the Firebirds (19-4), Hill never had to make that call.

Both Gudde and Free State’s offense kept rolling and a four-run fifth ended the game early.

“I didn’t hear any-

Well, when Gudde pitches, like he did Thursday afternoon against Derby in the state quarterfinals at Hoglund Ballpark, Hill puts Bryant in left field.

It took less than an inning in the Firebirds’ 100, state-opening victory for Bryant to show what kind of luxury FSHS enjoys with its roster depth.

The former starter, turned fill-in and pinchrunner, made a sliding, run-saving snag in left to keep Derby off the board in the first.

“It’s huge to get momentum,” Bryant said afterward. “The team, everybody’s getting hyped up about it.”

Indeed, the Firebirds jumped out to a 2-run lead after the gem, Bry-

ant’s first of two impressive defensive plays.

Later, in the fifth, Bryant chased down a fly ball in the gap and maintained the catch as he and Pavlyak collided.

Hill had to admit after the win: “We’ve got pretty good baseball players who don’t get a lot of (playing time).”

Bryant came through at the plate, as well. Free State’s No. 9 hitter, who entered 4-for-8 with two doubles on the season, delivered a key two-out single in the bottom of the second inning, with no one on base. It set up a three-run frame and sent Free State halfway to its 10-run total after just two innings.

Later on, in the fifth, Bryant led off with what

Hill described as a “heck of an at bat.” The junior, who drew his second base on balls, became the first of four runners to cross the plate as FSHS (19-4) advanced to the state semifinals against top-seeded Blue Valley (21-2).

“We all have our roles on the team,” Bryant said after going 1-for-1 and scoring twice. “and everybody just has to know your role and stay within yourself. That’s how you can be successful.”

Pavlyak, who went 2-for-3 and scored three runs, agreed each Firebird focused on performing his specific role in the state opener.

“When everyone does that,” Pavlyak said, “we’re obviously pretty good.”

mound, striking out eight in a one-hitter. Only two batters reached base. He kept Derby (17-6) hitters off balance by mixing up his pitches and dropping curveballs for strikes.

“It’s bad to say this, but we’re expecting him to pitch like that,” Abrahamson said of Gudde, who lowered his earnedrun average to 0.42. “He’s been doing it last year and this year, so it’s natural to assume he does that.”

The fourth-seeded Firebirds added a run in the third inning when Pavlyak hit a ground ball down the first base line with the bases loaded.

Derby’s first baseman grabbed the ball several feet behind first base, but thought the ball was foul and was too late when Pavlyak won the race to the bag, scoring junior

Nate Strathman.

After leaving the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Free State scored four runs to reach the mercy rule in the bottom of the fifth inning with only one hit. Two hits batsman, two walks, two errors on a sacrifice bunt and a two-run single from Abrahamson set up senior Parker Tietjen’s game-ending sacrifice fly.

“The kids played well,” Hill said. “I liked our approach, we were aggressive, but smart all the same. We made some things happen early. We were able to break the ice.

I think the kids responded really, really well.”

Known for dominant pitching and solid defense all season, the Firebirds were happy to see their bats heat up at the right time.

“I guess we just dug deep,” Bowlin said with a wide smile. “Just time to hit the ball and it was a great time to start.”

Blue Valley suffered its only two losses this season against likely first-round picks in next month’s Major League Baseball draft, Joey Wentz (Shawnee Mission East) and Riley Pint (St. Thomas Aquinas).

The Tigers, who feature five Div. I players, are on a 13-game winning streak.

“They are going to present some challenges for us,” Hill said. “We’re going to have to play the way we played today.”

Derby 000 000 0 — 0 1 3 Free State 231 04 x — 10 9 1 W — Hunter Gudde, 7-1. L — Braden Ash. 2B — Mikey Corbett, Zion Bowlin, FS.

thing,” Gudde said about the take-him-out-orleave-him-in discussion.

“But I’m sure coach Hill and (pitching) coach (Layne) Meyer (were) thinking about pulling me. And then we went out and run-ruled ’em, which was huge.”

Hill said he never asked for Gudde’s input and added that coaches often will let a player weigh in on a decision to stay in the game but never do they get to factor into the decision to take them out.

“That’s on us,” Hill said.

Gudde’s low pitch count and terrific command made Hill’s call easy, and all parties involved came out looking like geniuses.

For the game, Gudde finished with eight strikeouts and gave up just one hit, a single on his first pitch. For the season, Gudde has tossed 50.1 innings in 14 appearances and is 7-1 with 49 strike-

outs, three earned runs and a 0.42 earned-run average. And for his career, which will go down as one of the best in school history, Gudde now has thrown 110.1 innings in 27 appearances, is 17-1, has given up just 10 earned runs while striking out 86 and crafting 0.63 ERA. Those numbers include 14 scoreless innings at the state tournament.

It’s numbers like those that make the potential to bring him back today such an advantage for the Firebirds.

“That’s what we did last year, and it was so important for us,” said Hill, noting that Gudde wound up starting the 2015 state title game one day after notching the first-round, complete-game win. “So there’s no question we were thinking about that.

You don’t go into the game thinking about it, but the offense gave us that breathing room.”

Throughout his coach-

ing career, Hill always has — and always will — put the health and safety of his players first. So even though state rules allow for a player to pitch a maximum of nine innings in one day and 12 innings over two, it’s not like Gudde will be asked to pitch another seven innings and throw 100 pitches today.

Of course, as competitive as Gudde is, at this point Hill would probably have to put him in a straight jacket to keep him from throwing in today’s semifinal showdown with top-seeded Blue Valley or beyond.

“There really isn’t a better way this could’ve gone for us,” Gudde said.

“It was the perfect scenario. I’ll be ready to go tomorrow for either game, whichever one they need me. But let’s hope they don’t need me.”

That would make for Hill’s easiest decision of all.

Royals shelve Moustakas Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals placed third baseman Mike Moustakas on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

Such injuries usually sideline a player for a long period. Moustakas said he will seek a second opinion on the injury.

“We’re still talking with the doctor, get a second opinion, see where we’re at,” Moustakas said. “You can’t rule anything out. I just want to go out there and be healthy and get prepared to play baseball again.

That’s where I’m at right now.”

Moustakas and left fielder Alex Gordon collided Sunday while chasing a fly ball in Chicago.

Gordon went on the disabled list Monday with a right wrist fracture.

“It’s disappointing. It’s just one of those things that happen in sports,” Moustakas said. “You can’t control everything.

Me and Gordo (Alex Gordon) are going out trying to make a play and unfortunately we both got hurt.

That’s just part of sports.”

The Royals will take on the first-place White Sox without two key hitters.

“You never want to see a play that takes out two of your All-Star players: one (Gordon) for the month and the other for the rest of the season,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It happens, you have to deal with it and you’ve got to move on.”

Moustakas did not play in the next three games at Minnesota and was checked out by team physicians upon returning to Kansas City for a sevengame homestand beginning Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. Moustakas, a 2015 AllStar, was hitting .240 with

It was the second rainout this season for the Royals.

White Sox right-hander Miguel Gonzalez and Royals left-hander Danny Duffy, the two scheduled starters Thursday, will pitch tonight.

National League Nationals 2, Cardinals 1 Washington — Bryce Harper hit a slump-busting home run, Danny Espinosa also went deep, and Washington received seven strong innings from right-hander Joe Ross in a victory over St. Louis on Thursday night.

Washington trailed 1-0 in the sixth inning before Harper ended a 4-for-33 skid with a no-doubtabout-it shot into the upper deck, far beyond the wall in right field. It was his 12th homer of the season, the first since May 13.

The light-hitting Espinosa snapped the tie in the seventh with a drive to right. Batting eighth, Espinosa came in with a .199 batting average and three home runs.

Both homers came off Mike Leake (3-4), who won his previous three starts while allowing only two runs over 21 innings.

Ross (4-4) gave up one run and six hits over seven innings. He had lost four straight decisions since beating the Cardinals in St. Louis on April 30.

Felipe Rivero worked the eighth and Jonathan Papelbon got three straight outs for his 13th save.

Aledmys Diaz homered for St. Louis, 0-4 against Washington this season.

The Cardinals were without their top run producer, Matt Carpenter, who was placed on the paternity list earlier Thursday. He leads St. Louis with nine homers and 32 RBIs. Washington, in turn, began the game with torrid-hitting Daniel Murphy on the bench. He was given the day off by manager Dusty Baker, who said, “One of their big bats is out of the lineup, so they offset.”
