makers do not solve the problems by then.

“As we explained in more detail in (February), the inability of Kansas schools to operate would

not be because this court would have ordered them closed,” the court said in a 47-page near-unanimous decision. “Rather it would be because this

court would have performed its sworn duty to the people of Kansas under their constitution to review the legislature’s enactments and ensure

the legislature’s compliance with its own duty under Article 6.”

Alan Rupe, lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case, said the decision was what he expected.

More rain, flooding expected this weekend Staff Reports

Lawrence spent much of Friday recovering from damage and flooding caused by strong thunderstorms that moved through the area Thursday, and more rain and storms are in the forecast through Memo-

The upcoming remodel of a downtown Lawrence fire station will take away space from Douglas County Senior Services, which has been housed in the building for more than 30 years, its director said.

The area that DCSS now uses for large gatherings will be turned into sleeping quarters for Fire Station No. 1. Because of the displacement, the city will soon determine whether to rehabilitate what’s left of the DCSS space to serve its needs or to relocate the

agency to another spot in Lawrence.

“We did not know that we would be losing some of our space,” said DCSS Executive Director Marvel Williamson.

“We knew it was a possibility, but it wasn’t until just recently that word came down that it was going to have to happen that way. We understand; our firefighters need the accommodations, and we don’t begrudge them that.

Now, we also need to figure out what we’re going to do.”

DEATHS BRYANT CHRISTENSEN CURRIER Rev. Bryant Christensen Currier was born to George Bruce Currier and Lydia Louise Currier of Molina, CO on August 3, 1928. He died peacefully in his sleep on May 26, 2016 at home in Lawrence, Ks. He is survived by daughters Janeanne Houston of Seattle, Wa. (Mark Ahlness) and Karen Brichoux of Lawrence, Ks. (David), and his son Rev. Andrew Currier of McPherson, Ks. (Laurie).

He leaves also grandchildren Evan Currier, Collin Currier, and Jessica Niemeyer (Keith). Surviving, as well, are brothers Robert Currier (Ruth) and David Currier (Cathy) and sister­in­law Peggy Currier all of Molina, CO as well as scores of nephews and nieces.

Siblings who have preceded him in death, Louise Signs (Loren), Bruce Currier (Garra Dean), and Wallace Currier. Bryant grew up on the family ranch in Molina, CO, the 5th of six children. His childhood memories were vivid, and he was always so happy when he had a chance to “go home” to the ranch.

He lived the life of a man who was well­loved by his family. Bryant attended Ottawa University, where he met the love of his life, Sara Jean Van Horn. They sang in the concert choir together, and although he was shy about expressing his affection, he was encouraged to do so quickly when a rival threatened to court her for himself. He told her that she would have to follow him “all over the world.” She said, “I don’t care, guy….and yes.” They were married in the First Baptist Church of Ottawa, KS, on June 18, 1951.

Bryant attended Central Baptist Seminary in Kansas City, KS while working at TWA loading baggage. His love of airplanes and flight was still on the ground, but he enjoyed being around planes and the excitement of travel. Sara Jean taught elementary music education and choir classes for K­8 grades until she became pregnant with their first child. After seminary, Bryant’s first churches were small ones in Deer Trail, CO and in Easton, KS. In Easton, Janeanne was born on Easter Sunday, a story he loved to tell. While serving the First Baptist Church of Superior, Nebraska, Andrew was born a few days after Christmas. While serving and loving the church in Superior, Bryant felt called to foreign missionary service, something he had pledged to do while he was in college. He and Sara Jean left Superior in 1960, and were the last American Baptist missionaries assigned to the mission field in Burma. They set sail from New York City to Liverpool on the Queen Mary with their young family, and in the company of the Billy Graham crusade team.

Life would never be quite the same. They arrived in Burma six weeks later, after a long ride on a much less glamorous ship that took them through the Suez Canal, and two dock strikes in Sudan and Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). In Burma, after language study, Bryant and Sara Jean were assigned to a rural area where they were the only Americans. They home­ schooled their children, grew food crops, and made a home out of a towering old mission house that had been a bunker for Japanese soldiers during WWII. He devised a pump­based water system, incubated chickens under warm lights, and did his best to create a home for his family far away from home. He began outreach and missions programs with the local pastors, and evangelized in neighboring villages. Sara Jean acquired a pump

Sara Jean was pregnant with their third child when they left the US, this time by Boeing 747. Karen was born while they lived in Iloilo City undergoing language study.

They in eventually settled Bacolod City on the island of Negros where they joined the faculty of Convention Baptist Bible College and taught classes in ministry, Bible, horticulture, and music.

Bryant put his Iowa State University horticulture and ag implement classes to good use building windmills and tractors, and creating fields for sweet potatoes, peanuts, papayas, and bananas. He also taught students how to marcot and divide plants for food and ornamental use. Bryant and Sara Jean retired from the mission field in 1991 and returned to the US. Advocates for missions, Bryant and Sara Jean traveled and presented the cause of foreign missions in churches.

They were called to the First Baptist Church of Waverly, KS, where they served as pastor and music director until their retirement in 2002. After the death of Sara Jean’s father, Percy Van Horn, they sold their house in Waverly and moved to the family farm in Wellsville, where they also became members of New Hope Baptist Church. Bryant served on the Alumni of Ottawa Board University, and he and Sara Jean enjoyed meeting the new students on move­in day. After Sara Jean’s death in 2009, Bryant remained on the farm until his health no longer permitted it. He in has been living Lawrence, KS, near his daughter, Karen, and son­ in­law, David. He lived a very rich and full life, but it was never quite the same after he lost his teammate, Sara Jean. She had a handwritten Bible verse above the sink on the farm that meant a lot to Bryant who lingered over it every day as he washed dishes: But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk, and not faint. ­ Isaiah 40:31 (RSV) A memorial service is scheduled for June 2, 2016 2:30 PM at the First Baptist Church of Ottawa.

LIBERTY MEMORIAL CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH TEACHER Brittany Harrell-Miller, a contestant on the NBC reality show “Strong,” talks with her class on April 8.

Harrell-Miller competed against nine other women in strength and conditioning challenges. Each woman is teamed with a professional athletic trainer, and at the end of each week one team is eliminated. Last week, Harrell-Miller’s team made it to the final three.

Harrell-Miller began Thursday’s episode dealing with a foot injury from the week before, which

she said ended up being a bone bruise. The episode’s challenge was to climb a 36-foot cylinder with metal rods for hand and foot holds. As they made their way up, competitors had to collect weights hanging from the cylinder and attach them to their belts.

The team that got the most weight to the top in 15 minutes won.

“Simply put, the state legislature’s unconstitutional enactment is void; it has not performed its duty,” Rupe said in a written statement shortly after the opinion was released.

But Gov. Sam Brownback was harshly critical of the decision.

“It is unfortunate that the Kansas Supreme Court has put at risk the education of Kansas students by threatening to close schools on June 30,” Brownback said. “The court is engaging in political brinkmanship with this ruling, and the cost will be borne by our children.”

“We will carefully consider the implications of the Court’s ruling and its disregard for the proper role of the Kansas Legislature,” he said.

Friday’s opinion in the long-running case of Gannon v. Kansas dealt only with the question of whether school funding is distributed equitably among the state’s 286 districts. It specifically dealt with so-called “equalization aid” that is used to subsidize the capital outlay and local option budgets of districts with less property wealth than others so they don’t have to levy higher property taxes to raise comparable amounts of money.

The lawsuit was filed in 2010 by the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kan., districts and followed up on one in 1999 that forced lawmakers to promise big increases in annual spending on public schools, which now tops $4 billion. Legislators kept their promises at first but backed off during the Great Recession.

The court has repeatedly said the Kansas Constitution requires lawmakers to finance a suitable education for every child.

The court on Friday struck down changes lawmakers made this year to the local option budget formula. It also struck down a so-called “severability” clause that said if any part of the formula is found unconstitutional, the court should assume that the Legislature would have passed the rest of the bill anyway.

Like Im, senior Rhett Rinehart also recounted the experiences of the close-knit group of students during the six years that they went to school together. In his speech, Rinehart recited a long list of inside jokes that got laughs from his fellow students. Despite those fond memories, he also recognized that over the years all the students have struggled in one way or another, be it with school, work or relationships. He reminded students that after graduation, life will continue on that way: a mix of positive and negative experiences.

allow districts to raise additional money on their own, above and beyond what the state provides in block grants. All told, when local and state dollars are put together, local option budgets add up to about $1 billion, or 25 percent of the entire K-12 school funding budget.

“Based on the record before us, this court cannot conclude that the legislature would have passed the (school funding bill) without the inclusion of the unconstitutional provisions,” the court said.

Justices Carol Beier and Caleb Stegall have both recused themselves from the Gannon case — Stegall because he served as Brownback’s chief counsel before he was appointed to the Kansas Court of Appeals in 2014; Beier did not provide a reason for her recusal.

Senior Judge Michael Malone of Lawrence and Riley County District Court Judge David Stutzman have served in their place on the Supreme Court.

Justice Lee Johnson filed a separate opinion, agreeing with the majority that the local option budget provision is unconstitutional, but saying the court should have gone further by implementing the remedy that was previously ordered by a three-judge district court panel.

That panel called for repealing all of the changes that lawmakers made to the school funding formula last year and returning it to its pre-2015 provisions.

Lawmakers are scheduled to reconvene Wednesday for what is normally a brief ceremony to officially close out the 2016 session. And although they are expected to take up a few other issues before adjourning, it was not immediately clear whether they would try to address the court’s decision at that time.

No matter how lawmakers respond, the decision is sure to have political implications in the upcoming 2016 elections.

Earlier this month, the Kansas Republican Party adopted a new plank in its party platform calling for four of the justices who are up for retention this year to be ousted.

Those include Beier, Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Associate Justices Dan Biles and Marla Luckert.

House Speaker Ray

Merrick, R-Stilwell, was quick to point that out in his statement responding to the decision.

“The court has yet again demonstrated it is the most political body in the state of Kansas,” he said. “Dumping the ruling at 5 p.m. the day before a long weekend and holding children hostage.

This despite the fact that the legislature acted in good faith to equalize the record amounts of money going to schools. This court is planning to shut down schools over less than 1 percent of the total education budget. Frankly, I find their actions disgraceful and hope Kansas voters will remember this in November when deciding whether these Justices should be retained.”

In its earlier ruling in February, the court suggested the Legislature could cure the inequities by reinstating the old formula for local option budgets and fully funding it, which would have cost about $43 million in additional funding.

But lawmakers chose instead to reshuffle the money that they had already budgeted, taking some equalization aid away from wealthier districts and shifting it to poorer ones. But it also included a “hold harmless” clause that made sure the wealthier districts received larger block grants to make up for the loss of equalization aid.

Lawmakers had intended this year’s bill to be a “one-year fix” to the funding formula, which they plan to completely rewrite during the 2017 session.

House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, called on Republican leaders to do whatever is necessary to keep schools open this year.

“For years, Gov. Brownback and his Republican allies in the Legislature have refused to adequately fund our schools,” he said. “Today, the Supreme Court finally said enough is enough. Kansas school children deserve better.

The Legislature should take whatever action is necessary to keep our schools open, something Democrats have been calling for all along.”

fee package the Senate approved earlier in the spring semester, which left the Kansan fee at $1 for another year.

At its last meeting of the year, the Senate passed a bill from its Student Executive Committee raising the Kansan fee from $1 to $2.50 for 201617, the Kansan reported.

According to the newspaper’s report, the Kansan will receive $2 per student of the student fee for the following two years,

and after fiscal year 2019, the Kansan will no longer request funding from the Senate.

In February the Kansan, spring 2016 editor in chief Vicky Díaz-Camacho and former editor in chief Katie Kutsko sued KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and vice provost for student affairs Tammara Durham.

The newspaper complained that Senate cut its funding based on content unflattering to the Senate,

our lives where all we wanted to do was give up and stop: stop working, stop learning, stop trying,” he said. “…And there are going to be times in the future when bad things happen to us.

Life won’t stop throwing things at us because we graduated high school.”

In those moments, Rinehart encouraged his classmates to look for the silver lining and not to give up.

“Those moments when we want to give up are the moments that make us better, they make us stronger,” he said.

The faculty speaker, Arnie Knudson, also told graduates to make the most of their experiences, even if that means changing plans or goals.

“Do what you enjoy and quit what you hate,” Knudson said. “That major you hate probably ends up with you in a

Larry & Carol Scott 50th Anniversary

Despite flooding, lake open for holiday weekend

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

The beaches are under water, and the water is too high for the docks, but folks are still welcome to enjoy their Memorial Day weekend at Clinton Lake.

Sue Gehrt, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operations project manager for the lake, said Friday that inflow at the lake has been high, reaching 883.23 feet Friday afternoon — about 8 feet high-

er than its normal elevation of 875.5 feet. She said she’s expecting it to come up another 2 to 3 feet today, and another 2 to 3 feet still on Sunday. Lake elevation is relative to sea level and does not refer to actual water depth.

Earlier this week, Gehrt said the Corps was allowing the release of 2,000 cubic feet of water per second; however, around 8 p.m. Thursday it shut down the releases completely, which is why the

water is expected to rise so much.

The areas with the greatest impact are the beaches and boat ramps — Gehrt said two boat ramps were still open Friday afternoon, but if waters continue to rise, they may have to be closed as well.

She said about 10 of the lowest campsites had to be moved farther up, away from the water, but there are still campsites available. But the picnic

Rain Lawrence saw approximately 3.43 inches of rain between 7 a.m. Thursday and 7 a.m. Friday, NWS meteorologist intern Bryan Baerg said. Following a dry afternoon, thunderstorms began again around 9 p.m. Friday, bringing an additional third of an inch by 11 p.m.

Lawrence has seen almost 7 inches of rain so far in May, about 2 and a half inches more than the normal month-to-date total, according to AccuWeather. Rain and high winds brought by Thursday’s storms knocked out power for more than 1,500 residents, and power had been restored to almost all Westar Energy customers in Lawrence by Friday evening, according to the company’s website.

Tornado CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The outbreak of this week’s severe weather served as a reminder to Douglas County residents that Kansas is in the midst of tornado season, said Teri Smith, Douglas County Emergency Management director.

The county has been fortunate in recent years to have largely avoided damaging tornadoes, although a July tornado did cause damage last year in Eudora. Others have touched down in rural areas, but the last tornado to cause significant damage struck southwestern Lawrence in 2003.

National Weather Service data shows 40 tornadoes touched down in Douglas County from 1950 to 2015, resulting in one death and 48 injuries.

The 4,476 tornadoes recorded in the state dur-

tables are fine, and people are “still able to camp and have a good weekend,” Gehrt said.

If people do go out in the water, Gehrt said, “remind them to be safe because the water’s high and there’s a lot of obstructions that they’re not used to.” She advises wearing life jackets and staying extra cautious.

Large tree limbs were seen littering sidewalks and some roadways throughout Lawrence on Friday morning. In some cases, entire trees had fallen over.

After the week’s rain, the Kansas River exceeded its banks and into Burcham and Riverfront parks, according to the city. Parks and Recreation has closed both parks because of the flooding, but will reopen them once the river falls below the

flood stage.

According to the NWS, the Kansas River measured at 19.5 feet at 9 p.m.

Friday in Lawrence. Parks close from flooding at 18 feet. At 21.3 feet, sandbagging of the City of Lawrence Wastewater Treatment Plant is necessary.

In Lecompton, the Kansas River reached 19.42 feet at 8:30 p.m. Friday. At 19 feet, “considerable agricultural flooding occurs,” according to the NWS.

ing that same time period caused 237 deaths and 2,912 injuries.

The county’s fortune could change with the next tornado-breeding super cell’s development, and that has Smith reminding residents to stay attuned to weather conditions and have a plan of action. The list of tornado warning resources available to the public include the county’s outdoor sirens, a land-line call notification system, monitoring weather on radio, television and the Internet, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration radios and smartphone severe weather apps. Smith recommended residents make use of more than one of the options.

“It’s really good to have redundancy not knowing if we’ll lose electricity with an approaching storm,” she said. “NOAA radios have battery backups.”

The latest tools in the storm warning arsenal not dependent on outside power are smartphone apps, which earn the recommendation of Smith and Jillian Rodrigue, Douglas County Emergency Management assistant director.

“Many of those, you don’t have to pay for,” Rodrigue said. “FEMA has a free app.”

Information on that app can be found at fema. gov. It provides National Weather Service alerts for up to five locations and will provide possible places to take shelter.

Landline alerts are available through the Northeast Kansas Regional Notification System, Smith said. Information on how to sign up for that free service can be found at douglascountyks.org/depts/emergency-management.

One thing Smith and Rodrigue advised against was relying on outdoor

sirens for warnings of approaching tornadoes. A lot of coordination with the county’s GIS and planning departments goes into the placement of sirens to avoid redundancy and overlap, but they are meant to alert those outside.

“They may not be heard over TVs and radios,” she said. “You add wind and hail, and it can be very difficult to hear sirens, especially with the windows closed with rain and storms.”

It is important that residents back up warning devices with situational awareness of severe weather, Smith said.

Individuals and families should have a severe weather plan in place and also think about how they can be safe when not at home.

“When people hear in the morning there is the possibility of severe weather, they need to know what to do with that,” she said. “It’s

The Wakarusa River to the south peaked at 25 feet early Friday morning near Lawrence, at which point the NWS says East 1150 Road floods. Water levels declined through the day Friday.

The city has also issued a stream and health advisory for Naismith Creek in the area of 31st and Louisiana streets. Potential elevated bacteria and contaminants may be present in the creek due to a sanitary sewer overflow, according to the city. No people or pets should enter the stream. The Utilities Department is monitoring the creek and conducting sampling and will rescind the advisory once samples show no health risk.

The NWS is predicting a 40 percent chance of rain today, mostly before 2 p.m., and a chance of showers and thunderstorms hovering between 20 and 50 percent through the next five days.

Dreyfuss makes a great Madoff ABC uses the sleepy Saturday before Memorial Day to repeat the compelling and entertaining 2016 biopic “Madoff” (8 p.m., TV-PG).

In what could be one of the signature performances of his career, Richard Dreyfuss captures the essence of financial swindler Bernard Madoff. In fact, Dreyfuss captures several versions of Madoff, or at least the faces he turned to the world.

And throughout this great double, or triple, performance, D r e y fuss also narrates “Madoff,” g i v i n g viewers an inside look at his own thinking, his strategies and techniques.

During a scene involving an investigation or negotiation, Madoff the narrator tells us exactly how he bluffs to get over on his clients, his colleagues and family and finally the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.

A great cast includes Blythe Danner as Madoff’s wife, Ruth.

Michael Rispoli (“The Sopranos”) is Frank DiPascali, the computer wizard at the heart of Madoff’s scams, and Charles Grodin and Lewis Black play heavyweight investors.

ABC will air the second part of “Madoff” next Saturday night.

O A&E launches a new wrinkle in its long-running nonfiction series. “The First 48: Gangland” (8 p.m., TV14) explores efforts to obtain evidence in a timely basis in gang-related murders. As we’ve been repeatedly told, cases not solved or seriously addressed in the first two days have a greater incidence of going cold or remaining unsolved. First up: A father shot at an abandoned Atlanta car wash and a Gulf War veteran shot down in the park may have been the victims of gang-related violence.

O The proliferation of nonfiction “crime” shows now enters the animal kingdom. “9-1-1 Encounters” (7 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-PG) shares footage of emergency situations involving creatures great and small.

We have an escaped tiger, the unexplained descent of dead birds from the sky, a hiker on the receiving end of rampaging coyotes and a chimp’s reception from a suburban crowd.

They didn’t exactly roll out the welcome wagon!

O A young girl (Kathryn Newton) fears that her ex-boyfriend is sending her threatening messages, but gets even more freaked out when the ominous signals follow her home, over a distance of 3,000 miles, in the 2016 shocker “The Maid” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

U.S., Turkey strategies on collision course Incirlik Air Base, Turkey — Here’s a positive move by Turkey, a country that often seems to be heading in the wrong direction: Despite Ankara’s severe misgivings, it is allowing the U.S. military to fly daily bombing missions from here against the Islamic State — in support of a Syrian Kurdish militia called the YPG that Turkey regards as a terrorist threat.

Turkey offered the Incirlik base last year after a dozen years of tepid military relations with the United States, its superpower ally. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deservedly criticized for muzzling journalists and suppressing democracy, but on this issue he has allowed his military to behave responsibly.

I had a window on these Middle East machinations during a visit to Incirlik on Monday with Gen. Joseph Votel, the Centcom commander. It was the last stop on a tour of the region that included a secret U.S. training camp in northern Syria.

The U.S. military strategy against the Islamic State in Syria has increasingly relied on the battle-hardened fighters of the YPG, despite Ankara’s protests.

The U.S. has grafted Sunni Arab forces with the Kurds, under the umbrella name of “Syrian Democratic Forces.” But as Votel explained, the U.S. must “go with what we’ve got,” which for now is mainly the YPG. Votel told me in Syria that when he met two days later with

“

The U.S. military strategy against the Islamic State in Syria has increasingly relied on the battle-hardened fighters of the YPG, despite Ankara’s protests.”

Turkish officials in Ankara, he would credit them as “fabulous partners,” but would stress that “we have a very good partner on the ground” in the YPG, too.

“Part of my job is to help balance this out,” he explained.

Gen. Yasar Guler, the deputy chief of the Turkish military, appears to have responded with similar nuance on Monday. According to the Turkish daily Hurriyet, he told the American general: “Do not be surprised if the YPG lets you down when the fight against (Islamic State) gets tough.” Guler reportedly also urged the U.S. to support Turkish-backed moderate Arab forces against the Islamic State in northern Syria, rather than relying so much on the Syrian Kurds.

The exchange illustrates how

“the U.S. campaign has helped empower the Turkish military and increased the importance of military-to-military contacts,” argues Bulent Aliriza, who directs Turkey studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Even as Erdogan has consolidated power, he has given the generals more space to resume cooperation with the U.S. A vivid summary of the U.S. bombing campaign came from Air Force Col. Sean McCarthy, who commands a squadron of about a dozen A-10 “Warthog” ground-attack planes based here.

He said his jets were operating over Syria 24/7, and that they were largely “autonomous” of the Turkish hosts. “We don’t discuss with them where we’re going,” he said, standing next to one of his planes.

Despite this wary military cooperation, U.S. strategy remains on a collision course with that of Turkey, a NATO ally. What can be done to prevent an eventual rupture that would damage all concerned?

Here are two suggestions: l Turkey should explore a quiet dialogue with the political leadership of both the YPG and the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which Ankara claims (probably rightly) is the godfather of the Syrian Kurdish militia. Erdogan was making progress in discussions with the PKK until he reversed course last year. An understanding with the Kurds would enhance

Erdogan’s legacy, Turkish security and regional stability. l America should consider modestly augmenting its proxy force in Syria with another Syrian Kurdish militia, the Rojava Peshmerga, that’s more acceptable to both Turkey and the official Syrian opposition in Geneva (which dislikes the YPG almost as much as Turkey does). The “Roj Pesh,” as it’s known, is backed and trained by the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq and its leader, President Massoud Barzani.

What could this additional Kurdish force provide? Possibly a bridge across what’s now a big gap in U.S. strategy. I talked by phone Thursday with Brig Gen. Mohammed Rejeb Dehdo, the commander of the Roj Pesh. He said he has 3,000 trained fighters based in Iraq ready to cooperate with the YPG under overall U.S. command. One sticking point is whether the command center would be in Zakho, controlled by the Barzanis, or in Sulaymaniyah, controlled by the rival Talabani clan. Surely that’s a solvable issue.

One U.S. commander privately describes the American campaign in Syria as “realpolitik on steroids.” OK, defeat the Islamic State now, worry about the regional mess later.

But the U.S. and Turkey need to get smarter about regional strategy or they’re heading for a crackup.

Parties should change nomination system The frustration of many voters over the way presidential candidates are selected has come to a head with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the presumptive nominees of their respective parties.

If this is the best we can do, maybe we should consider a better way.

As of May 3, according to fairvote. org, while some states have seen a surge in primary voters, nationwide primary turnout remains low: “At this point in the process, 30.14 percent — less than one-third of eligible voters — have participated in a primary contest. The last time both parties had competitive presidential nomination races was 2008, which saw 30.82 percent voter turnout after all states had participated.”

There is nothing about primaries or nominating conventions in the Constitution, so the process could be changed without causing additional damage to that great document.

We can’t say we weren’t warned by some of our Founders about the consequences of extreme partisanship.

They may not have had the Internet, but they knew history and understood human nature in ways many of us seem to have forgotten.

In Federalist Papers 9 and 10, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, respectively, warned of the dangers of political factions. Thus, in the elections of 1789 and 1792, which selected George Washington, the Electoral College took care of the nominations and elections.

Hamilton and Madison didn’t hold on to their high-minded method of selecting presidents for long. Both quickly embraced partisanship with Hamilton becoming the leader of the Federalist Party and Madison teaming up with Thomas Jefferson to form the Democratic-Republican Party.

Beginning with the 1796 election, presidential candidates were selected by their respective congressional parties, or a party caucus convened by state legislatures. Before 1820, Democratic-Republican members of Congress nominated a single candidate from their party, but by 1824 that system collapsed and since 1832 the national convention has been the pre-

ferred mechanism for nominating presidential candidates.

It wasn’t until 1901 that Florida became the first state to conduct a presidential primary with voters allowed to select delegates pledged to the candidate of their choice. Other states soon followed with either primaries or, in a few cases, caucuses.

The chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago changed everything. Though he didn’t win a single primary under his own name, Vice President Hubert Humphrey won his party’s nomination. Subsequently, a panel commissioned by the Democratic National Committee and led by Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., recommended that states adopt new rules to ensure wider voter participation. Most opted for presidential primaries and the Republicans soon followed.

In the current election cycle, there were a number of intelligent, experienced and articulate candidates who did not carry the heavy baggage of the two who emerged as frontrunners.

The result makes the old smoke-filled room approach of selecting candidates seem appealing.

Perhaps a coalition of historians, former presidents and former members of Congress, who are not known for extreme partisanship, could get together and design a new system by which we choose the nominees. It might be an idea that entices more people to turn out and vote during primary season, or it could eliminate the current system entirely and replace it with one that gives us better options.

Clearly the process we have now is not working. We should be able to do better.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 28, 1916: “A Saturday evening raid by the police netted a barrel of beer, five young men, and Sam Childs, who is at present in the city jail.

A liquor selling charge will be brought against him. The police made the raid on Childs’ premises in North Lawrence before the evening’s festivities had got well started, they say.

Suspects charged this week in an IRS impersonation scam traveled the country, using dozens of fake names and identifications and collecting millions of dollars in payments wired by unwitting victims from at least 21 states.

Newly unsealed federal court complaints provide a look at the alleged operations of the five defendants, who are charged with wire fraud and conspiracy. Investigators characterized them as Cuban nationals who knew one another and operated from a similar playbook.

SUITLAND, MD. The federal government predicts a near-normal 2016 hurricane season for the Atlantic Basin, with four to eight hurricanes expected to form.

Overall, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts 10 to 16 named tropical storms will develop in the region, which includes the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, the agency said Friday. The season officially begins Wednesday and runs through Nov. 30.

Of the hurricanes, one to four could be major, with wind speeds of 111 mph or higher and rated as Category 3, 4 or 5 on the SaffirSimpson Scale of Hurricane Intensity. An average season typically spawns six hurricanes and

peaks in August and September.

A tropical storm contains wind speeds of 39 mph or higher and becomes a hurricane when winds reach 74 mph.

Tropical Storm Bonnie is likely to form off the Southeast coast Friday or Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said. Alex, an unusual January hurricane that spun out at sea, was the first storm of 2016.

AccuWeather and The Weather Channel, two of the largest private weather forecasting companies, both predicted 14 named tropical storms will form, with eight becoming hurricanes. Colorado State University meteorologists last month predicted 12 tropical storms, five of them hurricanes.

After Bonnie, the next few named storms of the Atlantic hurricane season will be Colin, Danielle, Earl and Fiona.

They typically phoned potential victims, falsely claimed the targets owed tax debts to the IRS, then threatened arrest if payments weren’t made immediately, the court filings allege. Often, they instructed victims to wire thousands of dollars, via MoneyGram or Walmart-2-Walmart Money Transfer Service, to the names of people in other states, the filings charge.

Using false identifications in those names, the scammers went to Walmart stores in those other states and picked up the money.

The five — Jennifer Valerino Nuñez; Dennis Delgado Caballero; Arnoldo Perez Mirabal; Yaritza Espinosa Diaz and Roberto Fontanella Caballero — allegedly swindled an estimated $2 million from approximately 1,500 taxpayers and others. Federal investigators believe the suspects are part of a broader group of scammers and potential copycats who so far have stolen roughly $36.5 million from 6,400 victims nationwide.

They are expected to plead not guilty.

“What I want people to know the most is how scary it is, and how realistic it seems,” said Jeannie Gaddis, a mother of two from central Illinois.

Zika virus a threat to Rio Games, health experts say Letter to WHO asks for Olympics to be moved or postponed Rachel Axon @RachelAxon USA TODAY

A group of 150 doctors, scientists and bioethicists have written a letter to the World Health Organization calling for the Rio Olympics to be postponed or moved because of concerns over the spread of the Zika virus.

The letter cites concerns about spread of the virus and develop-

ing information about it in calling for the Games to be delayed or moved. Letter writers questioned whether the WHO is rejecting alternatives of when and where the Games should be held because of a conflict of interest with the International Olympic Committee.

“Currently, many athletes, delegations and journalists are struggling with the decision of whether to participate in the Rio 2016 Games,” the letter states.

“We agree with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommendation that workers should ‘Consider delaying travel to areas with active Zika virus transmission.’ ” The letter notes the concern

MARCELO SAYAO, EPA

Olympic Stadium in Rio will host opening ceremonies Aug. 5. for global health, citing the possibility of Olympics travelers acquiring the Zika virus in Rio and then returning home, especially

to currently unaffected areas.

“Based on current assessment, cancelling or changing the location of the 2016 Olympics will not

significantly alter the international spread of Zika virus,” the WHO said in a statement.

In February, the WHO declared the Zika virus an international public health emergency.

The mosquito-borne virus has been shown to cause microcephaly, a birth defect that causes babies to be born with smallerthan-normal heads.

The letter cites a 2010 memorandum of understanding between the WHO and the IOC, which has not been released, as evidence of a conflict of interest and suggests a change in leadership at the WHO, which is led by director Dr. Margaret Chan.

Pilgrims flock to Tunisia for Jewish holiday Israel recommended avoiding travel to one of Arab world’s last Jewish communities Kristen McTighe

Special for USA TODAY DJERBA , TUNISIA

Despite warnings from Israel to avoid traveling to one of the Arab world’s last Jewish communities, thousands came to the ancient El Ghriba synagogue this week to celebrate the Jewish festival of Lag b’Omer.

Jews from Tunisia, Europe and elsewhere made the annual twoday pilgrimage that began Wednesday under tight security to mark the holiday with prayers, candles and wishes written on eggs.

Organizers estimated 2,000 people made the trip here despite a severe warning by Israel’s National Security Council CounterTerrorism Bureau that recommended all travel to Tunisia be avoided.

“Terrorism is everywhere, it’s in Paris, it’s in Bardo. The problem is worldwide,” Lior Elia said in his family jewelry shop in Houmt Souk, the main city on the island of Djerba off the Tunisian coast. “We are protected here, the police work for us and for every-

There have been plenty of security concerns. In an assault in March, militants affiliated with the Islamic State stormed the Tunisian border town of Ben Gardane, leaving more than 50 dead.

Access to Djerba was immediately cut off.

responding to a phone message from a man who identified himself as a U.S. Department of the Treasury officer. He claimed she faced arrest for tax evasion.

Gaddis believed she owed nothing. She said she was suspicious, in part because the man spoke with what seemed to be a foreign accent.

But he named a specific year, which happened to be one when Gaddis said she and her husband had filed an amended tax return.

Temporarily convinced, she followed the man’s instructions. He told her to remain on her cellphone with him as she left work, withdrew $6,000 from her bank account, and then drove to three different Walmarts.

At each location, the man told her to send MoneyGram wires of amounts slightly above or below $2,000. She wired two payments to the names of men in Nevada, and the third to a man in North Carolina. Gaddis said two of the transactions went through successfully, but the third didn’t — ultimately enabling her to get that money back.

“These things were all suspicious in my head,” Gaddis said of the episode, “but the fear in my body just took over.”

Gaddis said she doesn’t know

whether the suspects arrested this week were involved in conning her. However, the court complaints filed against the suspects outlined what happened when other victims were convinced to wire money to purported IRS or Treasury officials.

In early December, a man from Florence, Ky., used MoneyGram to wire more than $3,720 to Arkansas. The transfer went to a Natalie Monre, the name of a woman the man had been falsely told was a Treasury official, the court filings show.

Surveillance video from a Walmart in Lonoke, Ark., showed that the wired funds were picked up by a woman investigators later identified as Jennifer Valerino Nuñez. The court filings allege that Natalie Monre was among at least 21 false identities Nuñez used as she and Dennis Delgado Caballero traveled the country fleecing victims with the IRS impersonation scam.

One of the court complaints alleges that Nuñez, working with

throughout the Arab world before the state of Israel was created in 1948. That number has dwindled to fewer than 4,500.

Jewish communities have virtually disappeared across North Africa and the Middle East, including Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Yemen. But the Jews of Djerba have stayed. The population is about 1,100, nearly half of which are younger than 20, Oezen said.

“They live alongside their Muslim neighbors, and they do so very well,” said Valerie Davis Allouche, Tunisia country director for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, a humanitarian group that works with the community. “Jewish and Muslim kids play together in the streets. They work alongside their neighbors. Co-existence is a working reality.”

“We are very secure,” Koudir Hania, the synagogue’s manager, said as he locked the doors to the holy site at the end of the day.

“Calm, life is calm.”

As the Muslim call to prayer echoed across the market on a recent Friday in Houmt Souk, Elia stood behind a jewelry counter and pointed to an employee in the small shop.

“I am Jewish, and he is Muslim,” he said. “We have worked together here for years, and our fathers worked together before that. We are very close.”

President Obama comforts A-bomb survivor Shigeaki Mori at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

OBAMA YET AGAIN RESETS OUR HISTORY Like Cuba and Vietnam initiatives, first U.S. president to visit Hiroshima since A-bomb points to a future of choice

Two high-profile attacks last year in Tunisia — at the Bardo National Museum in Tunis and in the beach resort of Sousse — stoked fears that the Jewish community could become a target of extremists.

In 2011, the annual pilgrimage to El Ghriba synagogue was canceled amid security concerns.

Jewish cemeteries were vandalized, and several anti-Jewish incidents were reported. In 2002, al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for a truck explosion in front of

the synagogue that killed nearly two dozen people, mainly German tourists.

To reassure Tunisian Jews, Rashid Al-Ghannoushi, leader of Tunisia’s Nahda party, recently sent a delegation to Djerba to tell the community it would be protected. The image of tolerance bodes well for tourism on this island, a popular vacation destination on the Mediterranean.

Security checkpoints sit at the entrances of Hara Kabira — the part of the island where most of Djerba’s Jews reside — and plainclothes police patrol the neighborhood. Outside El Ghriba synogogue, police guard the entrance gate where visitors must pass through metal detectors and tight security checks.

Jews have been on Djerba for more than 2,000 years, living alongside Muslims and Christians in the center of the Arab world. As violent religious extremism engulfs the region around them, residents on this quiet North African island say they are resolute to stay.

“Thanks to God, we can live peacefully and without problems,” said Yousef Oezen, president of the Jewish community in Djerba. “There are marriages, the youth are having children. The Jewish community can live here, and we can grow.”

As he approaches the end of his presidency, President Obama is trying to write his own chapter in world history as the president who redefined America’s role in the world.

But to do that, he’s also delicately and self-consciously trying to turn the page on the chapters written by his predecessors.

That effort led him Friday to Hiroshima, the Japanese city where 140,000 people died so that the United States could end what seemed to be an endless war seven decades and 11 presidents ago.

Laying a wreath at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Obama attempted to draw lessons from the first wartime use of the atomic bomb without second-guessing President Truman’s decision to drop it. “The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well,” he said. “We have a shared responsibility to look directly into the eye of history and ask what we must do differently to curb such suffering again.”

Since 1945, six sitting presidents have visited Japan, but none of them visited Hiroshima.

Obama — always cognizant of opportunities to set new precedents — is the first. Why now?

“The dropping of the atomic bomb, the ushering in of nuclear weapons was an inflection point in modern history. It is someWASHINGTON

thing that all of us have had to deal with in one way or another,” the historian-in-chief told reporters Thursday. “But the backdrop of a nuclear event remains something that I think presses on the back of our imaginations.”

The Hiroshima visit also exemplifies a pattern of confronting uncomfortable historical truths during Obama’s “farewell tour.”

In March, he became the first president to go to Cuba since the revolution that brought the Marxist Castro regime to power — “the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas,” Obama said. Then, in a less-heralded visit to Argentina, he acknowledged the U.S. role in human rights violations in South America in the 1960s and ‘70s.

as one painful chapter in a longer history of friendship and cooperation that is “too often overlooked.”

“I am not the first American president to come to Vietnam in recent times. But I am the first, like so many of you, who came of age after the war between our countries,” he said. “I come here mindful of the past, mindful of our difficult history, but focused on the future.”

If it was President George H.W. Bush who presided over the end of the Cold War, Obama is the president who has sought to give it a proper funeral. “Obama seems to be working against the romantic myth — Reaganism, maybe — to suggest we need to confront questionable actions

“The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.”

President Obama

“I have spent a lot of time, both before I was president and since I’ve been president, studying the history of U.S. foreign policy,” Obama said in Argentina in March. “And like the history of any country’s foreign policy, there are moments of great success and glory, and there are moments that were counterproductive or contrary to what I believe America should stand for.”

In Vietnam this week, Obama tried to reframe the Vietnam War

from the past,” said John Bodnar, a professor of history at Indiana University and the author of The “Good War” in American Memory.

On Friday, Obama memorialized the destruction wrought on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by atom-splitting weapons, but also called for“the courage to pursue a world without them.”

“Today the children of this city will go through their day in peace,” Obama said. “That is a future we can choose.”

For now, no changes in Wis. voting laws Judge’s ruling won’t come in time to enact change before Aug. 9 primary

Patrick Marley

@patrickdmarley The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel MADISON, WIS . There will be no change to Wisconsin’s voting laws before the Aug. 9 primary, including the requirement that photo identification be shown at the polls, a federal judge said Thursday.

U.S. District Judge James Peterson told attorneys at the beginning of the final day of testimony in the two-week trial on challenges to state voting laws that he will rule by late July. That won’t leave enough time to enact any changes he may order before the primary.

“Obviously, I feel urgency in getting the decision out,” Peterson said, adding that he didn’t think it would be realistic to have it done before the end of July. He scheduled final arguments for June 30.

Two liberal groups and voters are challenging more than a dozen voting-related laws signed by Gov. Scott Walker and passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature in the past five years. That includes provisions of the voter ID requirement, particularly the process used to grant free IDs to people who don’t have the required documentation, limitations on early voting times and places, and the elimination of straight-ticket voting.

“Obviously, I feel urgency in getting the decision out ... There’s no way the decision will have an impact on the August election.”

U.S. District Judge James Peterson

The plaintiffs argue that the laws discriminate against the poor, racial minorities and younger voters who are more inclined to vote Democratic. The state Department of Justice, which is defending the laws, argues that they have not suppressed turnout and the state works hard to ensure everyone who needs a free ID to vote gets one.

“There’s no way the decision will have an impact on the Au-

gust election,” Peterson said. He also said he expected his ruling to be appealed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago but didn’t say whether he would put it on hold until there is a final determination, perhaps by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Testimony in the case has relied heavily on experts on both sides presenting conflicting evidence about the effect of the laws on turnout both generally and among minorities. The former chief of staff to then-Sen. Dale Schultz, a Republican, testified that GOP state senators were “giddy” about passing the voter ID law because they saw it as increasing their chances of winning elections.

Defenders of the law, including Walker and Republican lawmakers, have said publicly that their goal was to make elections more secure and combat voter fraud.

But evidence presented at trial showed there are very few documented cases of voter fraud.

Election clerks from Republican parts of the state also testified that they experienced no significant problems running elections under the new laws, including

the photo ID requirement.

The plaintiffs focused during much of the trial on people who had difficulty getting IDs because they lacked birth certificates or other documents proving their identity. State officials determined the people were eligible to vote in many cases but said they could not provide them with IDs. Among the examples they produced: uOne woman was unable to get an ID, at least initially, because she had lost the use of her hands and could not sign the application for an ID. A Division of Motor Vehicles field agent was shown the woman’s daughter had power of attorney allowing her to sign on behalf of her mother, but the field agent would not allow her to sign the application, according to a pretrial deposition of Diane Lowe, the state Government Accountability Board’s lead elections specialist. uDavid Walker, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, was born in Missouri in 1951, but he does not know which town he was born in or the exact names of his deceased parents. Wisconsin DMV officials denied his request

for an ID in June 2015 because he did not have a record of his birth. uA Milwaukee woman known as applicant No. 13 never received a birth certificate because she was born in 1934 in a Michigan “house of ill-repute,” according to court files. The DMV told her to try to get early school records from Detroit but did not offer to pay for those records, as it has for other people. It denied her request for an ID in July 2015. uApplicant No. 30, who was born in Louisiana, was denied an ID nearly 600 days after he applied for one. He first applied in September 2014, but Wisconsin officials suspended his application in December 2014 and formally denied it in March 2016.

The man has had a Milwaukee County photo ID since 1993, but Wisconsin officials would not accept it as a way to get a state ID. There is no record of Wisconsin officials contacting Louisiana vital statistics offices or schools, as it has for some other applicants for IDs.

Photo ID will be required for those who vote in the Wisconsin primary on Aug. 9.

IN BRIEF RECORD RAIN, FLOODING SLAMS CENTRAL TEXAS

At least two people died Friday as a severe storm system dumped record rainfall over central Texas and caused major flooding.

In Washington County, midway between Houston and Austin, one victim drowned after being trapped in a trailer home, according to Brenham Fire Department officials, KHOU-TV reports. A second person apparently died of a heart attack after driving through high water.

In addition, a 21-year-old man, also in Washington County, was reported missing after he called family members to say he was in high water.

The National Weather service reported “amazing and recordshattering” rainfall in portions of the state Thursday, including 16.62 inches of rain in Brenham, about 80 miles northwest of Houston. The deluge — the most rainfall ever in the city — doubled its year-to-date rainfall total, which now stands at 33.06 inches.

A study released Friday, which finds an increased risk of certain

cancers in animals exposed to cellphone radiation, could reignite concerns over the safety of wireless communication.

Some scientists expressed serious concerns about the study because of inconsistencies in its findings. Even officials at the agency that produced the study, the National Toxicology Program, said the report fails to provide the clear answers that many would like.

Researchers found small increases in rare cancers in the brain and heart in male rats exposed to near-constant, high doses of radiation from cellphones, compared to rats who weren’t exposed. There was no increase in cancer among exposed female rats, according to the study, which represent “partial findings” of a larger research project.

The commander of the Islamic State in the Iraqi city of Fallujah was killed in an airstrike on the city, and bombing runs in advance of an Iraqi assault killed another 70 militants in recent days, the U.S. military announced Friday.

Maher al-Bilawi, the Islamic State military commander in Fallujah, was killed when warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition bombed the city, the military’s top spokesman, Army Col. Steve Warren, told Pentagon reporters Friday. The attack two days ago was the result of fast action based on a tip on his whereabouts.

U.S. Naval Academy graduates toss their hats in the air during graduation ceremonies Friday in Annapolis, Md. This is the first year females wore the same uniform as males.

More than 20 airstrikes in and around the city in advance of an Iraqi assault have killed 70 militants in recent days. to wrest control of Fallujah from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, to help stem a recent spike in terrorist bombings in the capital of Baghdad, about 40 miles to the east. Those blasts have killed and wounded hundreds of Iraqi civilians.

Thousands of Iraqi troops, police, Sunni tribal fighters and the country’s elite counter-terrorism force have converged on the out-

skirts of Fallujah, Warren said.

U.S. artillery batteries at a nearby base have lobbed shells onto Islamic State positions, and more than 20 airstrikes in and around the city have killed 70 fighters, Warren said. No Iraqi forces have entered the city, which was the site of brutal battles fought mostly by Marines in 2004.

Most of Fallujah’s 300,000 residents fled after Islamic State militants stormed into Iraq in 2014 and seized several major cities. About 50,000 civilians remain, and they are being asked to put white sheets on their homes to avoid shelling and bombing, Warren said. Iraqi and coalition forces realize the militants are likely to employ sheets as well, Warren said, but he added it was worth it to avoid killing civilians.

Meanwhile, Islamic State deserters have been put to gruesome deaths in recent days, Warren said. Some who quit the militants’ fight have been roasted alive in bakery ovens, he said.

is notable since it has seen the largest average increase among the other 10 sectors. Seven of the 10 sectors — with the exception of utilities, energy and technology — have seen their average P-E fall.

Utilities are known as being “defensive” companies, or those with businesses that hold up no matter how strong or weak the broad economy is. Even in a recession, consumers need to keep the lights on, after all. But inves-

tors playing defense are pushing up valuations along with the stock prices. The utilities stocks in the analysis have gained an average of 13.4% over the past 12 months, while the average stock is down 2.2% and the Standard & Poor’s 500 is down 1.2%. The S&P 500 Utilities index is up nearly 10%, causing some investors to wonder if investors looking for safety are actually exposing themselves to more risk.

“We see this tremendous bifurcation where defensive equities ... trade at extraordinary valuations compared with the cyclicals in the same markets,” Sarah Ketterer, CEO of money manager Causeway Capital, said at the Milken Institute Global Conference this month.

Investors aren’t going com-

pletely overboard being defensive — yet. While utilities’ valuations are higher than they were a year ago, they’re still 20% below the average adjusted P-E of all 10 sectors. Meanwhile, the average stock in another defensive sector, consumer staples, has seen its valuation fall 13%. Investors aren’t going hog wild with highdividend stocks either. Shares of the 15 highest yield companies in the S&P 500 are down 28% on average over the past year.

But investors who think they’re playing it safe with utilities may be surprised if the market decides the sector isn’t worth as much as is being paid for it now, Ketterer says. “For a longertime horizon investors — we are looking out three years — we have no interest in the defensives.”

Verizon, unions reach four-year labor deal 40,000 employees had been on strike 6 weeks Mike Snider @mikesnider USA TODAY

Verizon and striking unions have reached a four-year contract and employees will likely return to work next week, labor and union officials said Friday.

Nearly 40,000 Verizon employees who are members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and Communications Workers of America went on strike more than six weeks ago.

“Today, I am pleased to announce that the parties have reached an agreement in principle on a four-year contract, resolving the open issues in the

to writing, after which the proposal will be submitted to CWA and IBEW union members for ratification.”

Perez said that during the two weeks of negotiations at the Labor Department, “I have observed firsthand the parties’ good faith commitment to narrowing

differences and forging an agreement that helps workers and the company.

“The parties have a shared interest in the success of Verizon and its dedicated workforce. Indeed, these two interests are inextricably intertwined.”

The most recent labor contract expired Aug. 1, 2015. The unions went on strike, criticizing Verizon for outsourcing jobs and requiring some workers to relocate. Verizon officials maintained that compromises on benefits are needed to tame costs.

“This tentative resolution is a testament to the power of collective bargaining,” Perez said. “I commend the leadership of Verizon, CWA and IBEW for their commitment to resolving these difficult issues in the spirit of constructive engagement. ... I expect that workers will be back on the job next week.”

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

It’s pretty much a done deal: the Federal Reserve will soon pull the trigger and hike interest rates for the first time this year.

Fed chair Janet Yellen, speaking Friday at Harvard University, pretty much said so in what might have been the Fed’s biggest hint yet that the second rate hike in its normalization policy that got underway in December will happen soon. Or in Yellen’s words, “probably in coming months.”

“It’s appropriate ... for the Fed to gradually and cautiously increase our overnight interest rate over time, and probably in the coming months such a move would be appropriate,” Yellen said.

Initial public offerings have a risky nature Q: Should I invest in IPOs? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Companies just sold the most new stock in a day than any other this year.

But don’t expect investors to rush for a piece of initial public offerings unless they get a sweet deal.

Just 31 companies sold new shares to the public this year, which is less than half the number that did at this point in 2015. Last year already was a weak period for IPOs, with the number of deals down 38% from 2014.

Returns also have been disappointing.

Nine of the past 100 IPOs are down 60% or more, according to IPOScoop.com.

Some investors might think they’re smarter than the pack and can pick the good IPOs, and certainly, there have been some huge winners. Three of the past 100 IPOs have more than doubled, IPOScoop says. But those were all pretty obscure stocks, such as lead recycler Aqua Metals, biotech Editas Medicine and health care company AveXis. These severe extremes highlight the risky nature of IPOs and why they’re not well suited for most individual investors with long-term portfolio goals. Those determined to still play can consider the Renaissance IPO exchange-traded fund (IPO), which invests in a basket of new issues. But even it is down nearly 20% over the past 12 months, trailing the S&P 500’s roughly 2% decline during the same period.

Housing boost gives economy a mildly healthier Q1 look Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The economy wasn’t quite as frail as initially believed in the first quarter as housing construction provided more of a boost, while sluggish business stockpiling and the trade gap posed less formidable headwinds.

The nation’s gross domestic product, a measure of all the goods and services produced in the U.S., grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.8%, compared with the 0.5% first

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Experts expect modest U.S. growth.

estimated, the Commerce Department said Friday. Economists expected a revision to 0.9%.

The 0.8% gain was still anemic, but it could give the Federal Reserve more confidence that the

economy is on solid ground and poised to return to its post-recession baseline of modest 2%-plus growth after two listless quarters.

Many economists believe growth in the current quarter could approach 3%. The Fed has indicated positive economic reports in coming weeks could prod it to raise interest rates again as soon a mid-June meeting.

The upward revision “gives us more confidence that growth will hit its marks in the second quarter,” Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, wrote in a note to clients.

The housing recovery has been

a pillar of the economy, and residential investment jumped 17.1%, up from the 14.8% previously believed.

And although businesses added less to their inventories, the pullback wasn’t as sharp as first estimated, subtracting 0.2% from growth, below the 0.33% first estimated.

Business investment more broadly was a bit weaker than previously believed. Non-residential spending fell 6.2% compared with the initial estimate of a 5.9% decline. Equipment spending plummeted 8.9%. A weak global economy, strong dollar and the oil

industry’s downturn have suppressed exports and business spending for nearly two years.

The dollar has weakened in recent months and oil prices this week briefly topped $50 a barrel for the first time since October, leading economists to predict that factory output and capital spending will mount a gradual rebound.

Exports declined 2% last quarter, less sharply than first believed, while imports dipped 0.2% compared with the slight gain previously estimated. That narrowed the trade deficit, posing less of a drag on growth.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “David, your career, it’s a huge mistake. It’s like Ross and Rachel.

It’s on a break.” — Rebel Wilson, dropping the mic on David Schwimmer during their rap battle on Thursday’s ‘Late Late Show with James Corden.’

NEW YORK After four decades, Roots is still as pertinent as ever.

In 1977, the landmark ABC miniseries brought the horrors of American slavery to the forefront of pop culture and shattered ratings records. Tracking the lives of enslaved protagonist Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton) and his family, the century-spanning drama was anchored by themes of identity, heritage and confronting one’s past to move forward — ideas which are revisited in History’s four-part remake, premiering Monday (9 ET/PT).

Burton, a co-executive producer on the revival, says the timing of Roots’ return couldn’t be more appropriate. Recent movements such as Black Lives Matter and #OscarsSoWhite have rocked headlines, while topics of race and blackness continue to spill over into popular music from Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar.

“We are clearly engaged in the conversation in America, and it’s one where everybody needs to be involved,” says Burton, 59. “If you are living in America right now, then the story of slavery is relevant to you, because it’s shaped the country and the culture in which you live, whether you want to admit that or not.”

True Blood’s Anna Paquin, who appears in Roots as a Confederate officer’s fiancée, echoes Burton’s sentiments.

“I can’t think of a time when this story wasn’t (relevant),” says Paquin, 33. “It’s really important, as a culture, not to forget the really ugly, dark period in history.

Sometimes, the further you get away from it, the more people want to think it’s not relevant anymore, but that’s not true. Peo-

LeVar Burton was just 19 in his first acting role as Kunta in the 1977 miniseries.

CASEY CRAFFORD; INSET BY ABC

Malachi Kirby as African warrior-turned-slave Kunta in History’s remake of Roots. ple need to be reminded so that hopefully, we eventually do move forward as a species. I certainly don’t think we’re there yet.”

Based in part on Alex Haley’s 1976 novel, the eight-hour Roots remake (also airing on Lifetime and A&E) stars newcomer Malachi Kirby as Kunta, an African warrior kidnapped and sold into slavery in the U.S. in the late 1700s. Although he didn’t watch the original until his early 20s, Kirby says his introduction to the character came much earlier.

Where he grew up in the U.K., “it was a negative thing to be African,” says Kirby, 26. “I’m Jamai-

can, which is not quite African, but I was still black and called Kunta Kinte as a dis. That was my first acknowledgement of this story before I knew what it was.”

Kirby initially was skeptical about a Roots reboot, as was Burton, who says, “I thought, ‘Nobody would be that stupid. What’s the point?’ ” It wasn’t until Burton got a call from Mark Wolper, whose father produced the first miniseries, that he understood.

Wolper showed the original to his 16-year-old son, who said, “ ‘Dad, I get why this is important, but it’s like your music: I know that you like it, but it

doesn’t speak to me,’ ” Burton says. “Mark felt in that moment, ‘Wow, if I’m ever going to get my children and their generation to understand the importance of this, I’m going to need to remake it for a modern sensibility.’ ” That meant, Wolper says, revisiting the book and dropping white characters’ perspectives added to the original series. He also hired historians for research and factchecking. “The use of language and the N-word, the intensity and the violence — that had to be authentic,” he says. “Audiences are savvy today. They can smell when something is not authentic.”

BEVERLY HILLS Anne Hathaway always knew the White Queen couldn’t be that good.

So what was her reaction to her character’s rather sinister backstory in Alice Through the Looking Glass (in theaters Friday)?

“Thank God,” Hathaway emphasizes. “It was nice to have a suspicion about my character confirmed.”

Mia Wasikowska, too, returns as the adventurous Alice in the sequel and continues to defy norms of the era, refusing to be married off or take a desk job.

Thrown into a mental hospital and diagnosed with hysteria, Alice escapes to Underland, determined to travel back through time to rescue the Mad Hatter’s family (Johnny Depp also returns).

“She has such a strong sense of who she is, especially in that time,” Wasikowska says.

Director James Bobin (Muppets Most Wanted) says Alice’s self-assuredness is just following Lewis Carroll’s lead from the books, written in the mid-1800s.

“She’s always been this incredibly strong character,” he says.

“She really feels like the girl from the book who’s grown up into the woman that Mia is.”

It’s their characters’ faults and frailties that lit up Hathaway.

“I’m so ready to torch perfection,” says the new mom. “Just throw some lighter fluid on it and light it up. I think everybody’s ready for that.”

Eschewing Victorian gowns of the time and donning exotic outfits from her worldly travels (and

DISNEY

The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) is still a threat to Alice (Mia Wasikowska) in her escape to Underland. even chopping her long blond locks), Alice adds another notch in Disney’s belt of atypical princess stories.

“Despite everything that happens to her and (the fact that) expectations around her are really low, she holds on to that core sense that she’s worth more, which I think is important for girls — and also boys,” Wasikowska says.

Growing up, the actress says she found the female characters in books such as Matilda and stories by Roald Dahl inspiring.

For Hathaway, it was the movie A League of Their Own. “I loved all the characters in it,” she says. “It was a moment when women were expected to be strong.”

Meanwhile, a fresh villain awaits Alice onscreen. In Looking Glass, Wasikowska is still hunted by the revenge-fueled Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), whose origin story is explored. But she’s also chased by Time, played “sort of like this all-powerful buffoon”

by Sacha Baron Cohen, says Wasikowska, whose Alice steals his time-traveling device, called a Chronosphere.

“Sacha’s very good at playing characters which are basically confident idiots,” says Bobin, who was a writer and director on Cohen’s Da Ali G Show.

Wasikowska laughs that somewhere “there’s like a six-hour version of just Sacha being X-rated Sacha. I don’t know how he thought any of that could end up

in a Disney movie, but he’s supersmart and really funny. He made that character what it is.”

If the sequel dwells on our bittersweet relationship with time, Hathaway, who is nursing her 8-week-old son, Jonathan, (with husband Adam Shulman), is definitely on her baby’s clock.

“Somebody told me when you have kids, the days are long and the years are short, and that’s kind of the way I am right now. I haven’t slept since he was born, and that should be making me cranky and that should be making the days feel endless, but they’re not,” she says, smiling.

“My day revolves around when he’s awake and that feels like such a short amount of time right now.”

Protect your basil plants from disease A

destructive plant disease known as basil downy mildew has been making its way around the U.S. since 2007 and will likely appear in Kansas again this year as temperatures warm.

The disease is fatal to basil if left unmanaged, but early detection and diagnosis may prevent or reduce crop loss.

The key to diagnosis of basil downy mildew is the observation of purplish gray spores on the undersides of leaves with yellowing between the veins on the leaf surface. The growth on the underside of the leaves, which looks like an airy bread mold, is the reproductive part of the mildew. The yellowing on the leaf surface is the result of the mildew feeding on the leaf.

Basil downy mildew is most prevalent in midsummer and is worse in years with ample moisture.

If basil leaves are yellowing without noticeable spores on the undersides, place a few leaves in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel. Then place the bag in the dark for a day or two to encourage sporulation if the pathogen is present. If the undersides of the leaves still lack mildew after this test, the yellowing is probably related to a nutritional deficiency, too much or too little water, or some other sort of environmental stress.

If basil downy mildew is observed on plants, work to minimize leaf wetness and humidity. Space plants out or move them to allow for better air circulation, use drip irrigation rather than sprinklers or overhead irrigation and ensure plants

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith are in full sun.

For large crops, growers may be also able to use heat and light treatments to minimize crop loss.

Plants that succumb to basil downy mildew should be removed and destroyed to reduce buildup of the disease.

Plant breeders are working to produce hybrid basil with downy mildew resistance, but until those are released growers have to rely on trying to find pathogen-free seed. One variety of sweet basil, Eleonora, has moderate resistance.

All other sweet basils, including the ever-popular Genovese and Italian large leaf, are highly susceptible.

Lemon, spice and ornamental basils show moderate resistance but have a different flavor.

Basil downy mildew was reported in Uganda in 1933.

It appeared in Florida in the fall of 2007. The following year, the disease was confirmed in Kansas and several other states in field and greenhouse basil crops. Scientists are unsure of what caused the resurrection of the disease, but suspect the pathogen was able to move long distances by traveling on seed and asymptomatic plants. It was also able to build up quickly because of misiden-

tification by growers in the first few years it appeared in the U.S. Downy mildew and infected plants do not pose a human health risk.

n this age of minimalism and decluttering, the common response to an offer of a family heirloom or antique might be, “I don’t have space,” “It’s not my taste,” or simply “No thanks.”

Well, “pull yourself out of that as fast as you can and start saying yes,” urges Susan Sully of Charleston, South Carolina, author of “Past Present: Living with Heirlooms and Antiques” (The Monacelli Press, 2016).

Unless you find a piece really ugly, she says, just take it.

“What’s so bad about temporarily having too much stuff?” asks Sully.

“The worst is saying no and having lost the precious tangible objects that tell the story of your family or a place you love.”

San Francisco decorator Ken Fulk, designer chairman of the New York Botanical Garden’s Antique Garden Furniture Fair, agrees: “No room is complete without something of age and provenance and character.”

And that show’s manager, antiques dealer Karen DiSaia, describes heirlooms and antiques as “the connective tissue of life, offering a feeling of depth and history.”

The trick to blending old and new in your home’s decor is careful curating — and keeping an open mind, says Sully.

Her book is packed with photos and descriptions of 20 homes around the country, from a converted fire station to farmhouses to elegant city dwellings.

Start with an uncluttered, interesting foundation, with one or two interesting, eye-catching pieces in each room that are there to stay. Then you can start a rotating exhibit of vases and lamps and oddments.”

The book includes the dining room of a Federal Revival home in Birmingham, Alabama, where a wall lined with gilded, leather-bound books and two sleek contemporary glass vases adds a warm yet airy backdrop for a heavy, dark-stained English library table.

chairs beneath an ornate Italian chandelier.

The parlor area in an 1880 home in San Antonio, Texas, features high Victorian detail and white furniture juxtaposed with strong colors in a series of Josef Albers lithographs. They share a corner with a small pile of painted wooden cubes found in an antique shop.

“I’ve always been interested in having at least one modern piece of furniture or contemporary painting in each room, so the house doesn’t look like a museum,” said the homeowner, banker and art collector Carl Groos.

And don’t treat heirlooms like stuffy museum pieces, Sully advises. Instead, “take what’s old and give it life again by actually using it. ... Allow heirlooms to relate to the rest of the room. These are beautiful things with stories to tell and history to share.”

Beautify your vegetable garden A bench, birdbath or gazing globe are other features that can help a vegetable garden look good through the year.

Besides adding a third dimension to the lines created by beds and paths, features like these can create enclosure, or act as visual focal points.

By Lee Reich Associated Press

Considering the superior flavor of fresh-picked vegetables and the choices you get when you grow your own, it’s a wonder that more people don’t have vegetable gardens.

Even a local farm or farmers market can’t offer vegetables as fresh as those straight from the back yard.

Perhaps if vegetable gardens were more ornamental, they would be more popular, not relegated to the far corners of back yards. With a little planning, a vegetable garden can be pretty enough to set out in the front yard.

A sense of order A vegetable garden that satisfies the eyes as well as the tongue must have a sense of order that is both pleasing and lasting. An expanse of dirt streaked with straight rows of vegetables — the traditional vegetable patch — does have order, but it’s more functional than attractive. And after autumn, it’s not much more than an expanse of dirt.

Instead, why not lay

Lee Reich via AP

A VEGETABLE GARDEN IN NEW PALTZ, N.Y., exhibits a sense of order, a welcoming gate and a well-defined path. vegetable garden into a sculpture. And this third dimension can be a yearround feature, unlike the vegetable plants themselves, most of which are annuals that dissolve into the soil in winter.

A fence is perhaps the most obvious third dimensional feature: Not wobbly chicken wire tacked onto wooden stakes all askew, but a fence of substance as well as function — perhaps something informal crafted from cedar or locust posts, or something formal created from sawn lumber.

Pay attention to the gate, Add height Adding a third dimen- too, again combining funcsion — height — turns a tion and appearance. out the garden with permanent beds and paths in an arrangement that, while functional, also creates a design? Picture a neat arrangement of rectangular beds or beds radiating out to form a wheel.

Be deliberate in your choice of materials to cover the paths for your design. The paths, after all, will highlight the shapes of the beds. And it’s much nicer to walk on flagstones, pebbles, wood chips, sawdust or lawn grass than in mud.

Include ornamentals No need to exclude purely ornamental plants from your vegetable patch. Currant bushes are both small and ornamental, their lacy flowers morphing into berries that dangle like red jewels. Roses also would enjoy the high fertility of a vegetable garden.

Let’s not forget about vegetables themselves. Visually, they offer a range of textures and colors, and, with their rapid development, add a dynamic quality to the scene.

Peppers and eggplants, purple basil and some of the Swiss chards with colorful stalks are among the particularly ornamental vegetables. Asparagus creates a ferny backdrop from July onwards; parsley could become a low, verdant hedge.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S Daina Levy spins through her rotation during an attempt in the women ‘s hammer throw in the NCAA West Preliminaries on Friday at Rock Chalk Park.

Kansas’ Lokedi qualifies for NCAA in 10,000

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University sophomore Sharon Lokedi was planning on competing in the NCAA West Preliminaries 10,000-meter run at 9 p.m., on Thursday at Rock Chalk Park.

Mother Nature had different ideas, however, washing out the first day and night’s action, forcing her to reschedule/ regroup for 8 a.m., FriLokedi day.

That’s correct. Instead of running a few hours before bedtime, her challenge was to place in the top 12 and qualify for NCAAs just a few hours after waking up.

“It was so tough mentally, but it was for everybody. I went home and got ready for the big race,” Lokedi, a 5-foot-6 sensation from Eldoret, Kenya, said. “It was a good thing and a bad thing.

It was good to race early in the morning. I wanted to get it done.”

Lokedi, KU’s school record holder in the 10,000 who placed first at the recent Big 12 championships, completed Friday morning’s race in 34:31.38, good for a 10th-place finish and muchcoveted spot in the NCAA championships, set for June 8-11 in Eugene, Ore. Top 12 in the event advanced to nationals. Arkansas senior Dominique Scott won the qualifier in 34:20.35.

“I just wanted to qualify and get ready for the the big meet coming up. You run but at the same time you are careful,” Lokedi said of strategy in a qualifier.

Lokedi is off to a stellar start in her KU career. She won the 5,000 meters at the 2016 Big 12 Indoor, and she had a 10th-place showing at the NCAA cross country championships as a freshman.

“I love running for the Jayhawks,” she said. “I try to do whatever I can for my team, make sure I do something good for my team.”

Here’s a look at some Jayhawks who did not advance to Eugene.

FREE STATE’S CALLIE HICKS COMPETES IN THE POLE VAULT during the Class 6A state track and field meet Friday in Wichita. Hicks won the event for the second straight year.

Firebirds’ Hicks claims pole vault crown

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@shawneedispatch.com

Wichita — Free State High senior pole vaulter Callie Hicks did not met her expectations at the state meet for the second straight season, but she didn’t need to in order to win back-to-back Class 6A titles. Hicks cleared 11 feet, 6 inches to win Friday’s pole vault competition at Wichita State University’s Cessna Stadium.

“It’s a great feeling,” Hicks said. “It wasn’t the day I wanted at all, but winning

is still definitely an amazing feeling. It was a fun day. It was a good day to vault since the sun came out.”

Hicks had a high mark in mind for her last meet in a Firebird uniform. The goal of the Kansas University signee was to clear 12 feet, 9 inches — which would have broken the FSHS school record of 12 feet, 8 inches. Despite not being able to put her name in the school record books, Hicks still cherished being able to compete at the state meet one last time.

“A lot of emotions are

flowing right now with it being my last meet,” Hicks said.

“Again, just really hungry for that school record, but still winning state and being able to take part in such a cool event is really amazing.”

While Hicks kick-started the Firebirds in the field events, the distance-running duo of junior Emily Venters and senior Tanner Hockenbury made big splashes on the track. Venters and Hockenbury both recorded second-place finishes in the 3,200-meter run.

“I thought it went pretty

well,” Venters said. “I wish I would have maybe done a few seconds better because I was going for the state (meet) record, which was 10:32, but I’m pretty happy that I’m ending my season with a PR.” Venters clocked in with a time of 10:35.31 to take second to Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Molly Born — who ran the second-fastest time in state history at 10:20.22. The FSHS junior credited Born for helping to push her along to better times throughout Please see TRACK, page 3D

Trying to become the first school in 25 years to win back-to-back Class 6A state baseball titles, Free State High was forced to wait one more day because of bad weather.

A mix of rain, lightning and a bad forecast forced the postponement of Friday’s semifinal matchup against top-seeded Blue Valley at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark. The two schools will play at 10 a.m. today.

Free State baseball players were on the field taking infield practice when lightning in the area forced them to retreat to the dugout.

Nadal bows out with injury

Paris (ap) — For a decade, Rafael Nadal ruled Roland Garros the way no other man has dominated any Grand Slam site.

On Friday, his powerful left wrist wrapped in a blue brace, Nadal delivered the surprising news he was withdrawing before his third-round match at the French Open because of an injury that would prevent him from delivering the whiplike, spin-heavy forehand that carried him to a record nine championships and a 72-2 record on the tournament’s red clay.

“To win the tournament, I need five more matches,” Nadal said, his face expressionless, his arms crossed in front of him, “and the doctor says that’s 100 percent impossible.”

His announcement, at what he called “one of the toughest press conferences in my career,” overshadowed everything else going on around the grounds on Day 6 of the French Open, from the straight-set victories by defending champion Stan Wawrinka and No. 2-seeded Andy Murray, to the out-of-nowhere 6-0, 6-7 (3), 6-0 upset of two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova by 108th-ranked Shelby Rogers, a 23-year-old American.

No. 15 John Isner, the last U.S. man in the field, found out about Nadal’s abrupt departure about 15 minutes after winning a five-setter to set up a showdown with Murray for a berth in the quarterfinals.

“It was a shock,” Isner said.

“I had no idea.”

It robbed the event of more star power, coming a week after 17-time major champion Roger Federer pulled because of lingering back problems.

It cleared one potential obstacle from the path of No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is attempting to win a fourth consecutive major title and his first in Paris — and could have faced Nadal in the semifinals.

And it raised more questions about how long Nadal, who turns 30 in a week, can continue to ply his intensely physical brand of tennis and remain

NINE-TIME CHAMPION RAFAEL NADAL ANNOUNCES HE IS PULLING OUT OF THE FRENCH OPEN because of an injury to his left wrist during a news conference at the Roland Garros stadium Friday in Paris. among the sport’s best. In the past, he has dealt with problems to both knees and to his right wrist; this is the first time his left wrist has been an issue.

“I mean, it’s a bummer for the tournament,” Isner said. “I think a lot of people had him playing Novak in the semis on that side of the draw. It’s a shame.”

He knows he’ll have his own work cut out for him against Murray, a two-time major champion who has won all five of their previous matchups. Other fourth-rounders established Friday included No. 3 Wawrinka against No. 22 Viktor Troicki, No. 5 Kei Nishikori against No. 9 Richard Gasquet, and No. 8 Milos Raonic against unseeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

Women’s fourth-round matches will be Rogers against No. 25 Irina-Camelia Begu, No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska against unseeded Tsvetana Pironkova, No. 4 Garbine Muguruza against No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova, and

No. 6 Simona Halep against No. 21 Sam Stosur.

Kuznetsova won the tournament in 2009; Halep and Stosur have both been runner-up.

Nadal won the French Open four times in a row from 200508, then another five straight from 2010-14. His only losses came against Robin Soderling in 2009, snapping a 31-match winning streak at Roland Garros, and against Djokovic last year, ending a 39-match run.

Nadal, owner of 14 Grand Slam titles overall, said the wrist pain first developed during a match on clay in Madrid this month, then subsided, before growing worse this week.

Nadal got a painkilling injection before his second-round victory Thursday, but by the time he awoke Friday, he couldn’t move his wrist and went for an MRI exam.

“He did not practice this morning, so I figured there was a problem,” tournament director Guy Forget said.

Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett is expected to be named the team’s interim head coach, ESPN reported Friday, citing multiple sources.

Baylor announced Thursday that it will fire Art Briles following an external review that found university leaders failed to respond to allegations of sexual assaults by football players.

Bennett, who was the head coach at SMU from 2002-07, has been the defensive coordinator for the past five seasons.

Richard Willis, chairman of the Baylor board of regents, said Thursday there was “nothing specific” about Bennett in the report by the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton.

But in the summer of 2015, months before Sam Ukwauchu was to go to trial on a sexual assault charge, Bennett told a Fort Worth luncheon that he expected the defensive end — a transfer from Boise State — to be playing that season. In August of that year, Ukwauchu was convicted and sentenced to 180 days in jail.

ceived in January. The NCAA’s long-running investigation began in 2012 after a university probe discovered academic and recruiting misconduct involving the women’s basketball program. Ole Miss later acknowledged the investigation had spread to the football and track and field programs.

“The University has accepted responsibility for the violations that occurred and self-imposed meaningful penalties,” Ole Miss said in its response. The university said that it “erred toward the upper limits” of the range of each penalty imposed.

The penalties — which the NCAA can accept or add to — didn’t include a postseason ban in football, which faces eight Level I violations qualifying as severe breaches of conduct and 13 altogether.

The university’s self-imposed penalties to the football program include three years of probation and 11 fewer total scholarships over four years starting with the most recent recruiting class, limiting Ole Miss to 22 signees instead of 25 in each of the next three years. The violations include left tackle Tunsil’s use of three loaner cars over a sixCOLLEGE FOOTBALL month period.

Two boosters who provided money and/or Mississippi self-imposes lodging to Tunsil’s stepfather, including one scholarship cuts in football payout of at least $500, were indefinitely disassociated. A third, one of the owners of Oxford, Miss. — Mississippi has selfan Oxford car dealership, was disassociated imposed scholarship reductions in football for three years for providing the loaner cars. because of NCAA violations and is still investigating more allegations involving first- Tunsil was only identified as “Student-Athlete I” in the response. Another athlete kept round NFL draft pick Laremy Tunsil. a loaner vehicle for more than a month after The university released its 154-page response Friday to the notice of allegations re- his own was repaired.

When Forget got a phone call from a member of Nadal’s entourage, he knew for certain something was wrong. Nadal’s exit means the man who was supposed to be his next opponent, Marcel Granollers of Spain, gets a walkover into the fourth round; win that, and Granollers will reach his first quarterfinal in 35 appearances at majors.

“Unfortunately, it is happening right now and it is impacting the tournament. It’s impacting you and me,” Forget said. “I think we’re all conscious that he is one of our best ambassadors. Unfortunately, what counts now is health.”

Nadal said the injury involves an inflamed tendon and might not require surgery if he rests the wrist. But he can’t practice for the time being and is not sure what his status will be for Wimbledon, where play begins in one month.

“Now is a tough moment,” Nadal said, “but (it) is not the end.”

The car dealer also allowed Tunsil to postpone his $3,000 down payment on a 2010 Dodge Challenger for three or four months.

The university also has asked to delay a hearing before the Committee on Infractions while it looks into draft-night allegations involving Tunsil, who was picked by the Miami Dolphins. Tunsil was the story of the NFL draft after a bizarre 30-second video of him smoking from a gas mask-bong contraption was posted on his Twitter account just before the selections began.

MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER

D.C. United stops Sporting Kansas City, Kan. — Alhaji Kamara scored late in D.C. United’s rain-soaked 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on Friday night.

Kamara, making his MLS debut after a congenital heart condition derailed his European career this year, put away a cross from Taylor Kemp in the 86th minute — less than a minute after coming on for Lamar Neagle as United’s final substitution.

The kickoff was delayed 21⁄2 hours because of weather concerns and there was a 60-minute rain delay at halftime.

Kansas City, which outshot United 18-6, had some early chances but couldn’t convert and the weather dampened the action after the break, until Kamara’s winner.

Bill Hamid, making his first start of the season after undergoing knee surgery, batted away a right-footed blast by Kevin Ellis from the center of the box in the 88th minute to preserve the win.

the season, and thanked teammate Kiran Cordes — who placed 10th in the 3,200 — for running with her each day at practice.

Venters ran the eighthfastest time in state history.

“We are the best training partners because she and I go the same pace every day, and we’re always cheering each other on,” said Venters of Cordes. “We’re also really good friends outside of running, so it’s really nice.”

Hockenbury followed Venters’ lead, as he took second in the boys race with a time of 9:36.07.

Although Hockenbury was in no-man’s land for most of the race, he steadily picked up the pace to eventually pass SM North’s Alex Akalu for second place with just under 500 meters to go. Hockenbury went on to be the runner-up to Alex’s brother — Belesti Akalu.

“I felt that I was in the race the whole time.

I wasn’t near anyone really accept for when I passed Alex,” Hockenbury said. “The whole race I just knew if I stay right here where I’m at, I will slowly gain, instead of what I did at the last couple of meets where I just tried to lead with them. I took it out slow and just sped up every lap.”

Free State seniors Hannah Walter and Simeon Windibiziri rounded out the Firebirds who made it to the podium on Day 1. Walter finished fifth in the shot put with a mark of 37 feet, 10 inches, while Windibiziri took eighth in the javelin with a throw of 167 feet, 7 inches.

Anglin leads Lawrence High Lawrence High junior Lexi Anglin saved her best performance in the javelin for the last meet of the season, as she came through with a personalbest throw of 122 feet, 10 inches to place third in the event.

“I felt really good today,” Anglin said. “I’m happy I placed third. I was ranked fourth, and I moved up a spot.”

Anglin put some pressure on herself to step up for her team this weekend, but also made it a point to enjoy the competitiveness of the state meet.

“Just really clearing my head and treating it like a regular meet,” Anglin said. “I know there is a lot of pressure on some of the seniors here, but I just wanted to have fun today.”

Senior Kyleigh Severa was the only other Lion to place in Friday’s events — seventh in the long jump — but LHS took care of business in the prelims to ensure a better day today.

Severa will return today for the 200-meter dash, and the girls 4x400-meter relay — which clocked in with the top preliminary time of 4:00.26. Junior Myah Yoder and freshmen Evann Seratte and Hannah Stewart will join Severa as the Lions try to reclaim their state title in the relay.

Trey Moore helped lead the way in the sprints on the boys side for the Lions.

Baldwin’s Kehl takes title in 4A discus

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@shawneedispatch. com

Wichita — Baldwin High senior Kelsey Kehl kept the Bulldogs’ strong tradition in the throwing events at the state track and field meet alive Friday at Wichita State University’s Cessna Stadium.

After the Bulldogs swept the top three spots in the Class 4A discus last year, Kehl claimed a firstplace finish in the event

Friday with a throw of 134 feet, 11 inches.

Kehl finished second in the discus in 2015, while Baldwin’s Alexia Stein and Jordan Hoffman took first and third, respectively.

“It feels really good because my sister (Katie Kehl) apparently in her last two years won it, and then Alexia won it last year,” Kehl said. “So I think this is either our fourth or fifth year winning it in a row.”

Katie Kehl — who is

now a junior on the Oklahoma State track and field team — has helped Kelsey develop as a thrower, but the Baldwin High senior said she likes to put matters into her own hands when it comes to achieving her goals.

“She tries to coach me, but I always tell her to get away,” Kelsey said. “She has taught me a lot over the years.”

The Bulldog girls squad had two more athletes make their way to the podium with Addie

Dick placing third in the 3,200-meter run and Carly Lindenmeyer taking seventh in the discuss.

Right behind Dick in the 3,200 was De Soto’s Gabrielle Collins in fourth, and Santa Fe Trail’s Hannah Honeymoon in seventh.

Dylan Staatz led Santa Fe Trail on the boys side by placing in both the triple jump and high jump.

Staatz finished fifth in the triple jump with a mark of 43 feet, 7.75 inches, and then placed eighth in

the high jump at 6 feet, 2 inches.

Eudora had three athletes on the podium on Day 1. Shawn Spurling paced the Cardinals with a third-place finish in the boys javelin. Braeden Manley and MaKayla Maples added respective seventh-place finishes in the boys pole vault and girls high jump.

Tonganoxie’s LeeRoi Johnson wrapped the area Class 4A action with a fifth-place finish in the boys discus.

School Activities Association announced play would resume the following day.

“It’s nothing we can control and we’re not going to focus on things that we don’t have control over,” Free State coach Mike Hill said. “The right decision was made by the KSHSAA tournament director. Nobody wants to sit around all day. We’ll go home, go to sleep and come back ready (today).”

When the fourth-seeded Firebirds (19-4) return to the field, they will send senior left-hander Trevor Munsch to the mound against Blue Valley.

Munsch, signed to play at Oklahoma, pitched a complete-game shutout in the regional final last week. In last year’s state tournament, Munsch gave up one run in seven innings in the semifinals.

“Both pitchers had to get hot before the game, but given that it was moved to tomorrow, at least from our perspective, it was like a bullpen for Trevor anyway,” Hill said.

Opposite of Munsch, the Tigers (21-2) were going to throw senior pitcher Jared Demmel, a 6-foot-1 right-hander who has signed to Cowley County CC. Bad weather is nothing new for the defending state champion Firebirds.

They had to wait out a three-hour delay before their state semifinal game last year.

“I think we’re used to it,” junior outfielder Jacob Pavlyak said. “I think it’s better to just schedule it for tomorrow instead of sitting around all day, getting all tight and having to re-stretch and all that. I think it’s a good thing.”

Shawnee Mission East and Washburn Rural will play in the other semifinal matchup, starting 20 minutes after the conclusion of the Free StateBlue Valley game.

The third-place game is canceled and the state championship will begin about 20 minutes after the second semifinal game.

“They are relaxed, confident and having a good time,” Hill said of his team. “That’s what you want them to do. That’s what this is all about.

We’re in a good place right now. Whether that translates into victory, who knows? But I love their attitude and the way they are going about their business.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cards beat Scherzer, Nats on slam The Associated Press

National League Cards 6, Nationals 2 Washington — Stephen Piscotty hit a grand slam off Max Scherzer during a five-run third inning and Jaime Garcia quieted the Washington Nationals lineup.

Coming off consecutive ineffective starts, Garcia (4-4) held Washington to two runs and seven hits over seven innings.

Scherzer (5-4) allowed two earned runs in each of his previous three starts including his 20-strikeout gem on May 11 in a victory over Detroit. That version didn’t show early against St. Louis. He walked four batters and allowed five runs.

Yankees 4, Rays 1 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Alex Rodriguez homered for the first time since coming off the disabled list and Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven shutout innings for New York.

Rodriguez returned Thursday after missing three weeks with a strained right hamstring. His sixth homer of the season and 693rd overall off Chris Archer came during a three-run sixth.

Tanaka (3-0) scattered two hits and struck out four to run his careerbest unbeaten streak to 11 consecutive starts, dating to last season.

Carlos Beltran homered in the eighth for the Yankees.

Archer (3-6) allowed four runs — one earned — and four hits in eight innings for the Rays.

Orioles 6, Indians 4 Cleveland — Chris Davis’ RBI double broke a seventh-inning tie, Manny Machado went 4 for 5 and Baltimore Orioles ended a four-game losing streak.

Mark Trumbo followed Davis’ clutch hit with a two-run homer, his AL-leading 15th of the season, and a lineup tweak by Orioles manager Buck Showalter woke up a slumbering offense that scored nine runs in its losing streak.

Dylan Bundy (1-1) pitched 11⁄3 innings for his first major league win. Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth for 13th save.

Cleveland scored in the second, fourth and fifth to tie the game, but Machado doubled off Zach McAllister (22).

Interleague Pirates 9, Rangers 1 Arlington, Texas — Jonathon Niese outpitched Cole Hamels with six strong innings, ending the Texas lefthander’s career-best winning streak at 12 games in Pittsburgh’s interleague victory.

Andrew McCutchen had one of four home runs for the Pirates, who won their fifth straight and spoiled Jeff Banister’s first game against the organization he spent his first 29 years in pro baseball with before becoming Texas manager last season.

Hamels (5-1) gave up eight hits and six runs — five earned — in 42⁄3 innings, his shortest outing since the start before throwing a no-hitter in his final appearance for Philadelphia last July 25. He came to the Rangers in a trading deadline deal six days later.

Niese (5-2) threw five shutout innings before Adrian Beltre’s leadoff homer in the sixth.

Royals rally past White Sox Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Eric Hosmer was happy to be back at Kauffman Stadium after a rough road trip.

He had three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs as the Kansas City Royals rallied to defeat the Chicago White Sox, 7-5, on Friday night.

That is one more RBI and matched the number of hits he had on the just concluded six-game trip when he was 3-for-25 (.120).

He laced a two-run single with two outs in the seventh to put the Royals ahead. He homered in the sixth and drove in a run in the first inning with a groundout.

“I faced (Zach) Duke a couple of times and he’s got really good offspeed stuff,” Hosmer said of his seventh-inning hit. “I told myself that’s what he

likes to go to. I just wanted to see it. I put something in play, trying to make something happen and finally had some luck on my side, our side.”

The White Sox used five pitchers in the Royals’ four-run seventh with Matt Albers (1-4) taking the loss. The inning included Brett Eibner’s double, his first major league hit, and Whit Merrifield’s two-run single.

“Seemed like anything we tried to do it didn’t work,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.

“Not only can they swing it, but they’ve got some guys that can, if they put the bat on it, can really beat some things out.”

Royals starter Danny Duffy retired the first 16 batters he faced on 59 pitches before giving up five runs on his next 17 pitches.

“For 5 1/3 innings,

that’s the best I’ve ever seen him pitch,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“I didn’t see that coming.”

Avisail Garcia, Dioner Navarro and Austin Jackson hit consecutive singles with one out in the sixth to load the bases for Melky Cabrera, who cleared them with a firstpitch grand slam. It was his first grand slam since July 29, 2011, at Cleveland, while with the Royals.

Todd Frazier then took Duffy deep to left. He is tied for the American League lead with 15 home runs. It was the first time this season the White Sox have hit back-to-back home runs.

“That’s probably the best-worst game, I’ve ever had,” Duffy said.

MLB rule proposals don’t consider consequences

By Paul Zeise Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Major League Baseball has proposed rule changes involving the strike zone and intentional walks that are intended to speed the pace of play and create more action and balls in play — and more runs scored.

The first of the two proposals is a no-brainer: pitchers don’t have to actually throw the four pitches when they want to intentionally walk a batter.

The pitcher or manager simply tells the umpire that they want to intentionally walk

COMMENTARY the batter and he will be awarded first base and the game will go on.

I understand baseball purists have had a hard time with the way the game has changed over the years, and so my answer to them on this issue is simple: the game has adapted through many changes over 100plus years and has been fine and will continue to be fine.

For instance, the Buster Posey rule basically legislated homeplate collisions out of

the game. For all the whining and belly aching about how it would hurt the game, nobody really misses those plays.

The intentional walk rule is good and will take about a week for people to adjust to it and understand that it actually has made the game better in some small way.

The strike zone rule is completely different. I hope officials think about it because there probably will be unintended consequences.

ESPN baseball writer Jayson Stark wrote Saturday that the logic behind this proposal is “the adjustment in the

strike zone is designed to produce more balls in play, more baserunners and more action at a time when nearly 30 percent of hitters in the average game either walk or strike out, the highest rate of ‘non-action’ in history.”

On the surface, it sounds like a reasonable theory — take away low strikes and pitchers will have to bring the ball up in the zone, increasing the number of pitches ripe for hitting.

That all sounds good, but I’m not sure it’s realistic. There are a few human elements in play that probably will be a

bigger factor than the new strike zone itself.

If hitters know pitches at the knee or below are almost always going to be called balls, the natural adjustment will be to swing less. Considering how many pitchers out there have issues with consistency and location, that probably is going to lead to more walks, not more hits.

More walks are good for scoring more runs, but more walks are not good for speeding up the pace of the game or making it more fun to watch.

More walks also mean higher pitch counts for pitchers, and by exten-

sion that might mean more pitching changes, further slowing things.

Then there are the pitchers, who often say umpires will give you strikes that are borderline strikes if you consistently hit the same spot. If veteran umpires, who can be a little rogue when it comes to following new directives, decide they’ll call the old strike zone anyway, that will lead to more strikeouts, not less.

Another adjustment pitchers will likely make is to try to throw inside more, leading to more hit batters, more dead action and, yes, longer games.

TORONTO FORWARD PATRICK PATTERSON (54) DRIVES AROUND Cleveland forward LeBron James (23) during the first half of the Cavs’ 113-87 win in Game 6 of the NBA basketball Eastern Conference finals, Friday in Toronto. Cleveland won the series, 4-2.

NBA FINALS

Cavs eliminate Raptors Toronto (ap) — LeBron James scored 33 points, Kevin Love had 20 points and 12 rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers advanced to their second straight NBA Finals by beating the Toronto Raptors 113-87 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night.

It’s the third finals appearance in team history for the Cavaliers. Cleveland lost to Golden State in six games last year and got swept by San Antonio in 2007.

For James, it’s his sixth straight trip to the finals, including four with Miami. He broke the 30-point barrier for the first time this postseason and finished with 11 rebounds and six assists.

“I had to bring my game,” he said. “I had to be in attack mode from the beginning.”

Kyrie Irving had 30 points and J.R. Smith had 15 for the Cavaliers, who will face the winner of the Golden State-Oklahoma City series on Thursday.

Cleveland would open at home against the Thunder but would be on the road against the 73win Warriors, who trail 3-2 against Oklahoma City heading into Saturday’s Game 6.

The Cavs will be seeking to end Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought, the longest by any city with at least three professional teams. No Cleveland team has won it all since the Browns blanked Baltimore 27-0 to win the NFL championship in 1964.

Kyle Lowry scored 35 points and DeMar DeRozan had 20 as the deepest playoff run in Raptors team history ended, much

to the disappointment of a sellout crowd of 20,605 dressed in red and white T-shirts that formed a maple leaf pattern on either side of the court.

Fans stood and cheered “Let’s go, Raptors! Let’s go, Raptors!” throughout most of the final three minutes.

Toronto prolonged the series with back-to-back home wins in Games 3 and 4 but never mounted much of a challenge to the conference champions in Game 6, falling behind by 21 in the third quarter.

The Cavaliers came in 0-4 at Air Canada Centre counting the regular season and playoffs, but looked much more like the team that handed the Raptors a trio of lopsided losses in Cleveland this series.

The Raptors trailed 8878 on a jumper by DeRozan with 10:23 remaining but James scored six points in a 14-3 run that gave the Cavs a 102-81 lead with about 6 minutes left.

James scored 14 in the first and five of Cleveland’s nine field goals were from long range as the Cavaliers led 31-25 after one.

After video review, the officials waved off a basket by Biyombo with 3:18 left in the period and gave him a flagrant foul for knocking down Love.

Tempers flared again early in the second when Richard Jefferson reacted angrily to catching an el-

bow from Jonas Valanciunas as the two battled for a rebound. Patrick Patterson came over and shoved Jefferson out of the way. Both Patterson and Jefferson were given technical fouls.

Cleveland made five more three-pointers in the second and outscored Toronto 9-3 over the final 71 seconds to lead 55-41 at halftime. The Cavaliers made 10 of 15 three-point attempts in the first half, while Toronto was 2 of 12.

The Cavs led 78-57 after a three by Love at 3:53 of the third but Lowry scored 15 points as Toronto closed the quarter with a 17-8 run, cutting it to 86-74.

OKC sees no reason to panic Oklahoma City (ap) — The Thunder won’t say they have to win Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday to win the Western Conference finals.

The alternative is less than ideal.

Win at home on Saturday and Oklahoma City will advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. Lose and the Thunder will be forced to play Game 7 in Oakland.

The defending champion Warriors have lost three home games all season.

Thunder coach Billy Donovan said his players don’t need to get ahead of themselves worrying about results.

“We’ve got to play the 48 minutes tomorrow night,” Donovan said Friday. “That’s really what it comes down to. You can get caught up in thinking about the future and what the results mean at the end of the game. But the bottom line is the result at the end of the game will happen, and what you don’t

want to do is be focused on the result and forget to do your job during the course of 48 minutes.”

Oklahoma City has done the job at home in the series. The Thunder won Game 3 133-105, tying a franchise record for points scored in a playoff game. The Thunder came back with more of the same in Game 4, a 118-94 blowout that put the defending champion Warriors on the brink of elimination. The Warriors know it’s going to take something special to produce a different result at the arena known as Loud City on Saturday.

“It will take all of our IQ, all of our gamesmanship, and just 48 great minutes to get a win down there, considering how the last two games have gone,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.

The Warriors saved their season with a 120111 win Thursday night in Oakland. There’s still hope that they can defend their title.
