Lawsuit claims Bledsoe framed for murder

LEARNING LEGACY

Documents reveal new details about alleged conspiracy By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

AFTER SEVEN YEARS AS LAWRENCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT, RICK DOLL will be resigning at the end of June and will become an associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University. Doll is pictured outside of Pinckney Elementary, which is set for a major renovation.

Outgoing superintendent Rick Doll reflects on 7 years of leadership “

A laugh led to the murder of 14-year-old Camille Arfmann in 1999; a widespread conspiracy in Jefferson County led to the wrong man spending 15 years in prison for the crime, according to allegations in a new federal lawsuit. As the Journal-World reported earlier this month, Floyd Bledsoe filed a federal lawsuit seeking an undetermined amount of money for being wrongly imprisoned in 2000 for the death of Arfmann, who Floyd Bledsoe was his sister-in-law. In December, a Jefferson County judge ordered Bledsoe to be released after long-sought DNA testing results and other new evidence showed he could not have been the perpetrator.

City trying to avoid concentration of low-income housing By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

You can’t get where you’re going until you know where you’ve been. It’s a cliche, but in the matter of Lawrence’s affordable housing efforts, it’s a concept being put to use. In talks about what Lawrence is going to do with

money it dedicates to affordable housing, or what policies it will put in place to grow the affordable housing stock, an issue invariably comes up: avoiding a concentration of poverty. Those leading the charge on the initiative, including heads of housing organizations, are weary of lumping below-market developments

you’re living in.”

Existing subsidized housing Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay said Lawrence is working to map Lawrence’s existing affordable housing in an effort to clearly see where it is and where it needs to go. Though there’s some debate about what’s “affordable” — something the Affordable Housing Advisory Board will begin to define in upcoming conversations — fair market rents in Lawrence are high enough that only subsidized units are really what’s affordable, said Rebecca Buford, director of Tenants to Homeowners, also known as the Lawrence Community Housing Trust. Most subsidized units in Lawrence are operated by Tenants to Homeowners and the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority. And most of those units are in the eastern half of the city. “Our challenge over the last 10 years has been to get pockets, or scattered sites, on the west side of town,” Buford said. “We all agree that would be ideal.” The local housing authority maps where its tenants are located in Lawrence. In 2015, the 1,225 individuals or families housed with vouchers or living in public housing were located around Lawrence, but a large group of them (368) were in an area bounded by Massachusetts Street to the west and Noria Road to the east.

That’s where most of the public housing, besides Peterson Acres, is located, said housing authority Director Shannon Oury. On a list provided by Tenants to Homeowners of approximately 140 addresses it has rehabilitated, acquired or developed, many were in the same area, and few were west of Iowa Street. “I do think hard units that are agency-owned are predominantly in the east side of town,” Oury said. Other units in Lawrence offered at belowmarket rent were developed using low-income housing tax credits, which allow property owners to reduce debt in exchange for charging tenants less. Of the 23 projects in Lawrence using the tax credits in 2015 — the most recent information available — 11 are located east of Massachusetts Street and north of 23rd Street. The housing authority began mapping where its tenants were going because “we were worried,” Oury said. “We were concerned people were going to be shut out from the west side of town,” she continued. “That’s what they refer to as a concentration of poverty problem, and we’re not interested in it.” Lawrence’s new city manager isn’t interested in it, either.

Trying to find solutions City Manager Tom Markus has publicly talked about his experience with creating affordable housing in his previous position in Iowa City. One of the things he brought with him to Lawrence is the idea of putting affordable units into residential developments

Home prices on the rise

have news about Lawrence home values. They’re going up, but not yet booming, according to the latest federal figures. It seems like it is time to keep a closer eye on home values in Lawrence. Real estate agents are talking about a low supply of available homes putting pressure on housing prices. Community leaders are talking about spending potentially millions of dollars for affordable housing projects. And then there are those of you who treat your homes like ATMs. Here’s a look at home value totals as calculated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The agency takes data from both homes sales and mortgage refinancing activity that is processed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So, the agency has access to lots of home prices and appraisal reports for properties all across the country. The report found that in Lawrence home prices accelerated at a pretty decent pace in the first quarter of 2016. Home values increased on average by 2.3 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. That was nearly the top growth rate in the state. Topeka actually just edged out Lawrence. It posted a 2.55 percent growth rate. But home prices in Lawrence rose more rapidly than they did in the KC metro area, which saw appreciation of just 0.17 percent for the quarter. But when you look at a longer term period you see that Lawrence’s home receiving city incentives. The new affordable housing requirement is included in a larger package of proposed changes to the policies that govern Lawrence’s economic development incentives. The mandate stipulates that developers charge income-based rent for a portion of units. As the proposal is written now, the units would have to remain affordable for the duration that the project is incentivized, but no less than 15 years. The requirement has garnered some criticism from the city’s Joint Economic Development Council and Public Incentives Review Committee. It will go to the City Commission for consideration later this summer. Markus said it would accomplish getting “scattered sites” of affordable housing. “When you think about it, it probably moves affordable housing into a wider array of locations in the community, which helps the scattered site approach,” Markus said. “Our belief is that scattered site is a much better approach than over-concentration and its impact on schools and everything else associated with plopping it in one location. “It’s not good for schools; it’s not good for the people living in those places. I think, in the long run, people understand that there is a need for affordable housing throughout the community.” Partridge agreed that the new incentive policy could help achieve that goal. “To me, that’s the place to look first,” he said of the policy. “That gets it out. What we don’t want is what we did in the

Lawrence recorded no rain for the day Saturday — the end of a string of five days with measurable precipitation. There is a good chance today will be dry as well, said Brandon Drake, a meteorologist with the

National Weather Service in Topeka. Chances of rain will return on Memorial Day, however, with showers possible in the morning and becoming more likely in the afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms are predicted Tuesday and Wednesday for northeast Kansas.

Agencies investigating possible criminal wrongdoing By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

A top Jefferson County official said both the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office are conducting internal investigations into the Floyd Bledsoe case. Jason Belveal, the elected county attorney for Jefferson County, said investigators were trying to determine whether there was criminal wrongdoing related to Floyd Bledsoe’s wrongful imprisonment. But Belveal said even if criminal intent is found, it might be impossible to prosecute because of the timing. The KBI assigned one agent not connected to the Bledsoe case to investigate and the sheriff assigned two deputies, one who had minimal involvement in the original case and

the second who had none. Belveal told the JournalWorld he would not comment on the pending lawsuit. KBI officials also had no comment. An unsigned statement on KBI letterhead acknowledged the lawsuit filed against several retired KBI agents. “We are presently reviewing the allegations in Mr. Bledsoe’s complaint,” the statement said. “It would be inappropriate at this time for us to respond outside of the process established by the court.” Laura Graham, KBI general counsel, said through an email that the agency doesn’t know when the investigation that began last year will be complete. “Unfortunately, there’s no good way to estimate when an investigation will be completed,” Graham wrote. “I regret we cannot be of more as-

sistance.” Separately, through his staff, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who oversees the KBI, declined to comment for this article. The KBI agents involved in the investigation are George Johnson and James Woods, both retired. Woods is a Lawrence resident and has declined to comment. Johnson could not be reached. In addition, KBI agent Terry Morgan left the KBI but is still a state employee, investigating complaints about lawyers for the Kansas Supreme Court’s disciplinary administrator. He told the Journal-World he could not comment. Jim Vanderbilt, Bledsoe’s prosecutor, could not be reached for comment. In 2005, the state Supreme Court suspended his law license for failing to file briefs in a separate

criminal case. Vanderbilt had said “he wasn’t going to waste (his) damn time responding to this crap,” according to the complaint. But soon after that Vanderbilt’s license was reinstated when he fulfilled several court-ordered requirements. In 2011, the state Supreme Court again suspended Vanderbilt’s license, this time indefinitely, after he failed to pay almost $80,000 in child support and was jailed. Vanderbilt has not had his license reinstated. Michael Hayes, Tom’s defense attorney, is named as a conspirator in the lawsuit. He now lives in Buena Vista, Colo., and did not respond to calls asking for comment. Former Sheriff Roy Dunnaway, who retired several years ago, lives in the Perry Lake area and could not be reached for comment.

Other Jefferson County sheriff’s employees named in the lawsuit were told by attorneys not to comment. They include: l Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig, who was an undersheriff when Camille Arfmann was killed, said he could not comment because of the lawsuit. He also said he was not involved in the homicide investigation. l Randy Carreno, who was the lead detective on the murder case, is now a captain for the department. In 2014, he was awarded the Kansas Sheriffs’ Association’s Deputy of the Year. l Troy Frost is still a detective for the department, and Robert Poppa has been promoted to lieutenant in the patrol division. l Orin Turner, a sheriff’s captain, retired in 2002 and died at age 69 in 2013.

The new evidence was in a suicide note his brother, Tom Bledsoe, wrote confessing to the crime. The Journal-World reviewed the court documents filed by Floyd Bledsoe’s attorneys, a civil rights firm that specializes in wrongful convictions and police misconduct suits. The filings reveal previously unreported details of the case, including that Tom Bledsoe allegedly Arfmann shot and killed Arfmann after she laughed at him when he tried to have sex with her in a pickup truck. The filings make multiple allegations against Jefferson County law enforcement, the county’s then-prosecutor, Bledsoe’s defense attorney, and agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The filings, however, don’t present a motive for why law enforcement officials and others sought to frame Floyd Bledsoe. An attorney on the case said figuring out why it happened is a main purpose of the lawsuit. “This is not just about compensation for Floyd,” said Russell Ainsworth, an attorney with the firm Loevy & Loevy. “It is also about ensuring that these egregious acts of misconduct never occur again.” Here’s a look at details contained in the recently filed lawsuit. All the defendants contacted by the JournalWorld declined to comment for this article.

fice and met with Sheriff Dunnaway, Deputy Robert Poppa, KBI agent James Woods and others. Through his attorney, Tom told the officers that “Camille had been murdered and that he knew the location of her body,” the complaint says. During the evening, Tom and Hayes gave additional details including that Camille had been shot multiple times — once in the back of the head — and was taken to the dump, where her body was buried. The complaint reveals publicly for the first time why Tom said he killed Camille: He told officers he was in his truck with Camille when he tried to have sex with her, but she laughed at him and he shot her, the complaint says. Tom and his attorney took the deputies to the dump, where Camille was buried next to an X-rated movie and a T-shirt that read “Countryside Baptist Church.” Tom’s attorney also gave the murder weapon, a Jennings 9mm firearm, to the deputies. Tom would confess at least one more time a few days later after the conspiracy to frame Floyd was in place, the lawsuit says.

False narrative Several days after Tom was arrested and charged with the murder, his defense attorney, prosecutor Jim Vanderbilt and others met “to put into action their scheme to fabricate Tom’s testimony,” the complaint says. The “false narrative” de-

Floyd worked at a dairy. The day of Camille’s disappearance, he went to work at mid-morning and didn’t return until almost midnight, after Camille’s mother called him to report the girl was missing. The lawsuit says Floyd’s whereabouts were “thoroughly accounted for, at every point from 4:20 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 5, when Camille went missing, until Sunday, Nov. 7, at 9 p.m., when Tom confessed. Floyd’s alibi was corroborated by numerous witnesses, a time-stamped receipt and phone records, the complaint says. Even Carreno, who allegedly helped fabricate the narrative, spent most of Saturday with Floyd searching for Camille. In addition, detectives interrogated Floyd for hours, searched his clothes and his car rigorously, and finally used a bloodhound to search for evidence. They failed to find any. But Tom’s home, his room, and his truck were not subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny. Just the opposite, the lawsuit contends: Officers “actively suppressed physical evidence that would have proved Tom’s guilt.” That included evidence from the truck where Camille was shot and a shovel that Tom said he used to bury Camille’s body. DNA testing results also remain a mystery. During the investigation, Dunnaway, Vanderbilt and the KBI’s Woods signed an order that inexplicably stopped DNA testing of sperm found in Camille. The test results of that same DNA sample 15 years later freed Floyd from prison. Eight months after Floyd was charged, he was sentenced to life in prison. He had chosen a jury trial over a plea agreement of five years in prison that Vanderbilt offered because he said he was innocent of the crime. At the sentencing, Floyd was on the stand and broke down and cried, saying he didn’t kill Camille. He wondered out loud why his brother and the Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies had done this to him before being led away.

The lawsuit alleges that conversation never happened. Tom’s attorney and deputies then coached Tom to recite it, the complaint says. On Friday, Nov. 12, 1999, both Floyd and Tom were brought in for polygraph testing that KBI agent George Johnson conducted. At some point during Tom’s test, he recanted, reciting the narrative that he had been practicing, the complaint says. He then failed the question, “Did you kill Camille Arfmann?” the complaint says. Afterward Tom was overcome with guilt and “confessed yet again” to Johnson, Vanderbilt and others, the complaint says. But Johnson counseled Tom, telling him “to continue lying to implicate Floyd,” the complaint says. Floyd then was given the test and passed, “truthfully disavowing any involvement in the crime because he had nothing to do with it.” That evening, Vanderbilt released Tom from jail and dropped his charges. Floyd was arrested soon after and charged with the murder. Over the next several weeks, the defendants continued to fabricate Tom’s statement about the roadside meeting, the complaint says. Detective Randy Carreno and others also set the time frame to fit the “fictitious meeting” into “the brief period of time in which they believed (wrongly) that Floyd lacked an alibi,” the complaint says. All of the information regarding Tom’s activities and detailed statements between Nov. 8 and Nov. 12 were withheld from Floyd and his attorney. Tom’s false narrative was prosecutor Vanderbilt’s “central piece of evidence” at trial, the complaint says.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

— Michael Douglas, Wellsville High School valedictorian

The Journal-World first wrote about Michael in February 2009, when he was a fifth-grader. The newspaper, for about a year, followed his progress and reported on the many people who reached out to him after the original article. Earlier this month, Michael’s mother contacted the original reporter, sending an invitation to Michael’s graduation and a note expressing that the kindness that Michael received after the article may have been a “turning point” for him. But, of course, Michael has done the hard work. Mulloy said she believes Michael has done well because he has a positive attitude and is surrounded by people who are caring and provide a lot of support, especially his parents, Lisa and Michael Douglas. “Some days, a family like this one will walk into your life and you hope that you will never have to let them go,” she said.

A rare illness Just before his first birthday on Feb. 23, 1999, Michael began breathing rapidly, so his parents took him to the hospital emergency room in Ottawa. From there, he went by ambulance to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. One year later — after numerous hospital stays, tests and surgeries — Dr. Philip Black, a pediatric pulmonologist at Children’s Mercy, diagnosed him with interstitial lung disease. It’s an illness that causes progressive scarring of lung tissue, affecting Michael’s ability to breathe. Black said it’s basically a stiffening of lung tissue. After the diagnosis, Michael was sent to Houston, where he saw a specialist who created a regimen for how to live with the disease because there is no cure. It included medicines, a two-day steroid treatment every six weeks and a food pump at night. Micheal and his family have stuck with the regimen, updating it as Michael has grown and new medicines have become available. Michael also exercises good health practices to avoid illnesses like flu, and he avoids temperatures below 50 degrees because the cold affects his breathing. When he’s at home, he uses a large oxygen tank that’s hooked up to a long hose, so he can move around the house. When he’s away from home, he uses a backpack to carry a small oxygen tank that weighs about

8 pounds. He changes it every five hours with the help of family and friends. His father, also named Michael Douglas, said he is very proud of his son’s accomplishments. “He is just as tough as nails, and he put in a lot of work. There were times when he was really sick and there were assignments due, and he would still get them done,” he said, tears streaming down his cheeks. Michael’s teachers agree that he exudes determination. Elba and Ann Unruh, his teachers in second grade and kindergarten, respectively, attended his graduation party. Elba Unruh said he and Ann became engaged at an all-school assembly when Michael was in grade school. Elba asked Michael to deliver the ring while he was on one knee in front of the crowd. “Honestly, all of the teachers couldn’t wait to have Michael in their class because they knew what a great kid he was,” he said. Ann Unruh talked emotionally about the support Michael gave her last fall during her battle with colon cancer. She said Michael encouraged his friends to wear “Team Unruh” T-shirts and then he sent her pictures of them. “To see him walk across and get that diploma was a huge deal,” she said. “It was very emotional. He has beat so many odds.”

Sports fanatic Michael plans to attend Ottawa University in the fall, where he will study sports administration and be the director of basketball operations. That’s no surprise, given he loves sports and is a self-described sports nut, especially when it comes to Kansas University basketball. “Sports is the best medicine,” Michael said, with a big smile. It gives him something to focus on instead of his illness. He keeps up on schedules, statistics, recruits, plays and trades. Soon after the first Journal-World article, “A Little Miracle,” was published about Michael in 2009 when he was a fifth-grader, he was invited to meet the KU basketball team and coach Bill Self. Michael said he would never forget being in a team huddle inside the locker room. “I remember it vividly. Every step of it. Every step,” he said. Michael and his family also were invited to Miami by former KU basketball standout Mario Chalmers, who at the time was playing

for the Miami Heat. The Douglas family attended a game, toured the locker rooms and participated in a family event with the players. Since then, Chalmers has invited Michael to games when he’s playing in the area. Michael and Chalmers both like No. 15, which is Chalmers’ KU jersey number, and use it as part of their Twitter account names. Chalmers recently, via Twitter, congratulated Michael on enrolling in college, saying, “Congrats, young homie. Keep workin’.” Michael’s story has inspired other collegiate and professional athletes, who have reached out to him and invited him to games or practices or given him sports memorabilia. Among them are former Kansas City Royals pitcher Tim Collins, Chicago White Sox pitcher Carson Fulmer and KU basketball player Clay Young. Michael also has become close to Brady and Blaize Foltz, who played four years of football at Texas Christian University. He used to travel to Forth Worth, Texas, to cheer them on at least once a year, and they introduced him to nearly the entire team. “They’ve been great role models for me,” Michael said. “They’re like family.” Michael, who received a high school graduation card from coach Self, said he would always be a diehard Jayhawk fan. Someday, he hopes to work for the KU athletics program. That, he said, would be his dream job. Mulloy, his longtime respiratory therapist, believes he will achieve anything he sets out to do. “He is going to do great things in this world.” — Lawrence resident Karrey Britt, a former reporter and editor for the Journal-World, wrote the original story about Michael Douglas that was first published in the Lawrence Journal-World in February 2009. She stayed in touch with Michael and his family for about a year and wrote blogs about the sporting adventures that ensued from the story. Six years later, Michael’s family invited her to his graduation party. Lisa Douglas wrote: “I just wanted to connect with you to sincerely thank you for all you have done for our family. Michael was a fifth-grader at the time of the article and now is a senior in high school. The article was written in February 2009 after he had been very sick for about a month. Thinking back, I really believe your article was a turning point for Michael because it led him to so many exciting sports adventures.” Britt is now communications coordinator at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Common Core opponents to help craft new standards By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — For the last several years, a vocal group of conservative lawmakers in Kansas have called for repeal of the Common Core academic standards that are used to guide the teaching of English language arts and math in public schools, defining what students are expected to know and to be able to do at each grade level in school. They objected because in many ways, the Common Core appeared to be a set of national standards, something they felt flew in the face of the American tradition of setting education policy at the state and local level. In particular, they objected to the fact that the Common Core was developed by a multistate consortium in which, it was argued, Kansas had little input. And they especially objected when the Obama administration began requiring states to adopt them — or other standards like them — in order to qualify for certain federal education grant programs. So now that the Common Core standards are up for their regular seven-year review in Kansas, the Kansas State Department of Education has added four conservative Republican lawmakers — including two House members who voted earlier this year for a bill to repeal the Common Core standards — to committees that are working to update, and in some cases even rewrite those standards. Education Commissioner Randy Watson said that was by design. In fact, he said, he wants lawmakers involved in all future updates to state standards, including those in science, art and other subjects, in hopes of fostering greater communication and understanding between the department and the Legislature. “I hope that the end result is that the Legislature and the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education can have a common understanding of how standards and assessments are designed in Kansas,” Watson said. “I think there are oftentimes misunderstandings of how that process works and how intensive that process is.” From all appearances so far, that idea appears

to be working. “I attend very few meetings that I go into with trepidation, but that was one of them,” said Sen. Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, who has previously called for repeal of the current Common Core standards. But Knox, a farmer and rancher with degrees in mechanical engineering, said he walked away impressed after the first meetings of the committee reviewing the math standards. “What I saw was very straightforward,” he said. “It was just math and how you teach it. I didn’t see anything controversial.” Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, R-Leavenworth, said he has not taken a position one way or another on the Common Core standards and was going into the process of reviewing the English standards with an open mind. “I haven’t had the opportunity to review it, but I’m happy to have the ability to be involved and provide some perspective on what’s going on,” said Fitzgerald, who is retired from the military and holds a master’s in business administration. The House members who are part of the process include Reps. Marc Rhoades, a financial adviser from Newton, and Charles Macheers, a Johnson County attorney. Both of them voted in March in favor of House Bill 2292, which called for repealing the Common Core standards, and prohibiting the state board from adopting any other “federally provided or required” set of academic standards. That bill failed in the House, 44-78, and was never considered in the Senate. “I think (the review process) is very important because technology is constantly changing,” said Rhoades, who is serving with Knox on the math committee. “I’m learning how much work goes into it, how much teachers care and about their devotion to students.” Conflict over education policy between the Legislature and Department of Education is nothing new. In fact,

the department is sometimes called a “fourth branch of government” because it is supervised by the independently elected State Board, and the Kansas Constitution vests in that board the authority for the “general supervision” of public schools. But legislators insist they are elected too, and the Constitution gives them the power to appropriate money. And with that power, many lawmakers believe, comes the power to decide what schools can and can’t do with the money they appropriate. Watson said he expects less controversy when the final draft of the new, revised standards are presented to the board next year, in part because Kansas is no longer part of any multistate consortium developing the standards or the standardized tests that go with them. But he also hopes that having lawmakers directly involved in the process will help give them a greater sense of ownership over the standards as well. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Crowdfunding projects include T. rex search, arts for tots

arlier this year I wrote about how Kansas University Endowment was foraying into crowdfunding-style campaigns with a new effort called Launch KU. There’s a new batch of Launch KU projects open now, and they’re fun to look through to see some of the small-scale projects going on around campus. Here’s a snippet about each of the four new campaigns, which are open until mid-July. l “Investing in the Next Generation of Film and Media Studies” — This campaign seeks $100,000 to use toward the conversion of Summerfield Hall (which the KU School of Business is vacating to move into the new Capitol Federal Hall) into a new home for KU’s department of film and media studies, which has long operated off campus out of Oldfather Studios at 1621 W. Ninth St. l “Bring the T. rex home to KU Natural History Museum” — The KU Natural History Museum is trying to raise $16,700 to send KU scientists and students to Montana, where they’ll spend four weeks looking for pieces of a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil in hopes of bringing it home to the

university, which already has 15 percent of this particular fossil. Money is needed for tools, transportation and lodging. l “WP4KU - Opening Paths to Individual Opportunity aNd Success” — This student retention effort goes by the acronym “OPTIONS,” and it’s seeking $3,000. It’s a summer residential program for first-generation college students from traditionally underrepresented groups, low-income students and students who are underprepared for college work. l “Support free performing arts experiences for preschoolers” — This is the only one of the four new campaigns that offers prizes for donating: for $100 you can join adorable little kids on stage for the 2016-17

Performing Arts 3to5 performance, and for $250 you can bring five friends up with you. The campaign seeks $6,500 for three seasons’ worth of funding for the Lied Center’s Performing Arts 3to5, which gives area preschoolers a chance to experience a live, interactive show for free. For details on any of the projects or to donate, go to launchku.org. A few other projects you may have noticed around campus: l The Burge Union’s demolition is complete. Work continues on KU’s Central District redevelopment. l The KU architecture department’s Dirt Works Studio class recently designed and built a new Sensory Pavilion in the Audio-Reader Sensory Garden, near the Baehr Audio-Reader Center at 1120 W. 11th St. l The Spencer Museum of Art’s ongoing renovations include cutting out some walls to create a view of Marvin Grove, the lovely natural area the building is located on that virtually no one has ever been able to see while inside.

“That’s a lot of kids and a lot of people that have a better chance in their future as a result of institutionalized changes that we made specifically targeted at getting more kids to graduation,” said school board President Vanessa Sanburn. District leaders say both targeted and overall efforts have helped to improve the achievement of students, including narrowing achievement gaps between student groups, implementing more personalized lessons and increasing access to technology. Many of those changes also presented challenges, but Doll said seeing students graduate was an encouraging reward. “I’ve always tried to stay focused on individual students, and it’s a great pleasure to attend the graduation ceremonies and watch students walk across the stage,” Doll said. Doll, 62, announced this past fall that he would resign his position at the end of June. He has accepted a fulltime position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University. Before coming to Lawrence, Doll was the superintendent of the Louisburg school district. Doll earned his bachelor’s degree in history at McPherson College and his master’s and doctorate in educational administration at Kansas State University.

Achievement gaps Much of the improvement in graduation rate was caused by large jumps made by certain student groups. Among those students not handed a diploma every spring, a disproportionate number are minority students and those with low socioeconomic status. In 2010, the average graduation rate for black, Hispanic and multiethnic students in the Lawrence district was about 60 percent. Data from the five years since shows the achievement gap between white and minority students has improved. Over that time period, average rates for minority students increased by more than 25 percentage points. Rates for students who qualify for free lunches have increased by about 15 percentage points, from about 65 percent to 80 percent. Sanburn said a key factor in those gains was diversity training and consistently comparing data among various student groups, such as suspension rates, the makeup of advanced placement and gifted classes, and standardized test scores. She said she thinks having administrators review those numbers each year helped to reinforce lessons from diversity training about institutional bias. “The fact that we have seen steady progress on shrinking that gap tells us at least we’re doing something right,” Sanburn said. Quail Run Elementary teacher Paula Barr agreed that addressing the achievement gap was a main focus of Doll’s. Barr said those efforts helped change a lot of teachers’ mindsets and resulted in more individualized education for students. “We started to look at our students differently, I think,” Barr said. “We started to see them as all having different needs, not just because of their academic differences, but because of the differences of who they were and possibly what their backgrounds were.” Despite the gains seen in graduation rates of dif-

. LAWRENCE ferent student groups in the district, Doll said the achievement gap of minority or impoverished students is an ongoing issue, both nationally and locally. “We want to get to a point where we can’t predict achievement based on poverty or the color of a child’s skin,” Doll said. “And we’re not quite there yet, but we’ve made some great strides in that area.”

“

The only path forward was to make an investment and keep this neighborhood school philosophy that Lawrence truly appreciates.” — Lawrence school board President Vanessa Sanburn

Technology and blended learning Another effort that district leaders tout as helping to raise student achievement is the addition of technology and more personalized teaching methods, such as blended learning. The blended learning method combines lecture-based instruction with small-group or individual activities that often rely on technology, such as Web-based activities or online simulations. Because students are broken into smaller groups, the method also makes it easier for students of different abilities to work at their own pace. Throughout the district, about 300 blended learning classrooms are in place. Over the next few years, the district plans to expand use of the method to all of the district’s classrooms, which number more than 700. “Capitalizing on the power of technology for kids to personalize their learning is something that’s a nice accomplishment for the district,” Doll said. Barr said that prior to Doll’s arrival, the district had limited technology that was outdated and slow. In contrast, blended learning classrooms operate with one device for every student. It’s a method Barr began using in her classroom four years ago, and she said giving students more experience working with technology is an important part of their education. “We’re sending them out into a new world where that’s going to be a major part of what they do every day, so we needed to get that tech in their hands,” she said. School renovations Perhaps the most visible change recently made in the district has been the renovation of all the district’s schools,

L awrence J ournal -W orld as well as the addition of the Lawrence College and Career Center. The final four of 21 construction projects will be completed this summer. The path to those improvements was a long one. After talks began in 2010 about consolidating the district’s 15 elementary schools to save money, district leaders ultimately only closed one, Wakarusa Valley. “A lot of them were old and decaying,” Doll said. “So they had debates about whether to close or not to close. I just kept saying, ‘Look, if we’re going to keep them open, let’s fix them up. If we’re going to keep them open, let’s turn them into 21stcentury learning environments.’” Lawrence voters approved the $92.5 million construction bond issue in 2013. The funds went to expand and renovate all 20 of the district’s buildings, build the LCCC and ultimately preserve what are often referred to as the city’s “neighborhood schools.” Sanburn said the results of school board and community discussions regarding school consolidation and a potential bond issue were clear. “The only path forward was to make an investment and keep this neighborhood school philosophy that Lawrence truly appreciates,” Sanburn said.

Return to teaching Sanburn said that one of the main things she appreciates about Doll’s leadership style is his focus on students. “He is there working on behalf of students,” Sanburn said. “I think he truly believes that all students have the capacity to succeed.” Doll’s decision to resign, in some ways, also has to do with his interaction with students. Doll said that as superintendent, he missed being able to teach. In Louisburg, which only had about 2,000 students, Doll continued to teach. “Before coming to Lawrence, as a superintendent (at Louisburg) I still taught a high school government class,” Doll said. “So I’m a teacher at heart.” At Kansas State University, part of Doll’s position will be teaching students seeking their master’s degrees in educational administration. He will also be the director of KSU’s Kansas Educational Leadership Institute. “I’m going to have my hand in both the education of new administrators and the mentoring of administrators in their first year on the job,” Doll said. “I’m very excited about that.”

Police plans City and police officials have an opportunity to come up with an even better plan for a new police headquarters.

ity officials are right that it’s time to get back to work on plans for a new headquarters building for the Lawrence Police Department. It’s been 18 months since voters rejected a sales tax to fund the headquarters, and city officials should look at renewed talks as an opportunity to address community concerns that contributed to that defeat. City Manager Tom Markus addressed one of those concerns off the top by stipulating that, as a cost-saving measure, the police headquarters should be built on property already owned by the city. In 2014, some residents criticized the physical location of the proposed site near the West Lawrence interchange of the Kansas Turnpike, but the cost of purchasing that property also was a major concern. The funding mechanism for the headquarters also was a sticking point for some voters. Commissioners decided a sales tax with a specific sunset was the best option in 2014, but current commissioners should re-examine all the possibilities. Although many voters could see that current police facilities are inadequate, they still questioned whether the department needed a facility that was as large and expensive as what was proposed. They wondered, for instance, whether some existing building might be remodeled for police use at a lower cost. Then and now, Police Chief Tarik Khatib maintains that the department needs a facility specifically designed as a police headquarters. That may be true, but the department didn’t do a very good job of explaining how the new headquarters would result in better policing for Lawrence. One approach to that issue may have been suggested in a discussion a couple of months ago about authorizing the hiring of 14 additional officers for the department. When city commissioners approved the hiring, they also approved having Markus talk with Khatib to come up with a method to determine how large the police force needs to be. “The police department has been left to determine what the level of services is in the community,” Markus said. “It’s responsible to have an engaged discussion as to just what the expectation is out of the police department and what level of service.” That makes sense for determining the department’s needs not only for staffing but also for facilities, like a new headquarters. It’s up to both the police department and the community to determine those needs. The City Commission is being asked to allocate $1.5 million in next year’s capital improvements budget to develop a plan to move forward on a new headquarters. Hopefully, city officials will be able to draw not only on earlier designs for the facility but also on lessons learned from the 2014 election to come up with a plan that’s even better for the department and the community.

EU promotes damaging stasis London — Leaders of the campaign to end Britain’s membership in the European Union hope that next month’s referendum will make June 23, 2016, a date as luminous in modern British history as May 3, 1979, when voters made Margaret Thatcher prime minister. Michael Gove, secretary of justice and leader of the campaign for Brexit — Britain’s withdrawal from the EU — anticipates a “galvanizing, liberating, empowering moment of national renewal.” For Americans, Britain’s debate about Brexit is more substantive, and perhaps more important, than their dispiriting presidential choice. American conservatives would regard Britain’s withdrawal from the EU as the healthy rejection of political grandiosity. Gove’s friend, Prime Minister David Cameron, who opposes Brexit, says that the referendum is “perhaps the most important decision the British people will have to take at the ballot box in our lifetimes.” Advocates of Brexit agree, but add: If Britons vote to remain in the EU, this might be the last important decision made at British ballot boxes because important decisions will increasingly be made in Brussels. The EU’s “democracy deficit” is mistakenly considered merely an unintended injury done by the creation of a blessing — a continent-wide administrative state. Actually, the deficit is the point of such a state. In Europe, as in the United States, the administrative state exists to marginalize politics

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Gove believes that the ongoing concentration of power in Brussels, seat of ‘the bureaucratic regulatory temptation,’ guarantees ‘regulation in the interest of incumbents’ who ‘do not want a dynamic, innovative Europe.’” — to achieve Henri de SaintSimon’s goal of “replacing the government of persons by the administration of things.” The idea of a continent-wide European democracy presupposes the existence of a single European demos, the nonexistence of which can be confirmed by a drive from, say, Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic. Gove believes that the ongoing concentration of power in Brussels, seat of “the bureaucratic regulatory temptation,” guarantees “regulation in the interest of incumbents” who “do not want a dynamic, innovative Europe.” Under Europe’s administrative state, Gove says “interest groups are stronger than ever” and they prefer social stasis to the uncertainties of societies that welcome the creative

destruction of those interests that thrive by rent-seeking. Gove likens the EU’s figurehead Parliament to “the Russian Duma under the czars, or the Hapsburg parliament.” The EU is “a rigged cartel in the interest of the smug.” If, as some serious people here fear, Europe’s current crisis of migration is just the beginning of one of the largest population movements in history, the EU’s enfeebled national governments must prepare to cope with inundations. But each EU member’s latitude for action exists at the sufferance of EU institutions. Gove believes that most of the British public, and even most members of Parliament, see the familiar trappings and procedures of the House of Commons — the mace, question time — and think nothing has changed. But most of binding law in Britain — estimates vary from 55 percent to 65 percent — does not arise from the Parliament in Westminster but from the European Commission in Brussels. The EU has a flag no one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a president no one can name, a parliament that no one other than its members wants to have more power (which must be subtracted from national legislatures), a capital of coagulated bureaucracies that no one admires or controls, a currency that presupposes what neither does nor should exist (a European central government administering fiscal policy), and rules of fiscal behavior (limits on debt-to-GDP ratios) that

few if any members obey and none have been penalized for ignoring. Journalist and historian Max Hastings, who will vote Remain, says the bitterness between Leave and Remain Conservatives is reminiscent of the Suez crisis of 1956 and is “wildly unreasonable,” given that Britain’s gravest problems — an unsustainable National Health Service, a “failing” education system, low economic productivity — “have nothing to do with Brussels.” Besides, especially given the worsening migration crisis, “I cannot believe that the EU, and even more the eurozone, will or should survive in their present form through another decade.” Supporters of Brexit agree that, such is the EU’s flux, there is no stable status quo to embrace, so leaving is no more risky than remaining. Mildly invoking 1776 for an American guest, Gove says “self-government works better than being part of an empire that doesn’t have our interests at heart.” So, the 23rd of June can become Britain’s Fourth of July — a Declaration of Independence. If Britain rejects continuing complicity in the EU project — constructing a bland leviathan from surrendered national sovereignties — it will have rejected the idea that its future greatness depends on submersion in something larger than itself. It will have taken an off-ramp from the road to serfdom. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Truth of ‘Roots’ confronted nation Everything was different, the day after. If you are a child of the millennium, if you’ve never known a world without 500 networks, it may be difficult for you to get this. You might find it hard to appreciate how it was when there were only three networks and no DVR nor even VCR, so that one major TV program sometimes became a communal event, a thing experienced by everybody everywhere at the same time. So it was on a Sunday night, the 23rd of January, in 1977. I was a senior at the University of Southern California, working part time at the campus bookstore. When I went to work the next day, you could feel that something had shifted. Your black friends simmered like a pot left too long on the stove. Your white friends tiptoed past you like an unexploded bomb. We had all watched the first episode of “Roots,” had all seen the Mandinka boy Kunta Kinte grow to the cusp of manhood, had all borne witness as he was chained like an animal and stolen away from everything he had ever known. Now we no longer knew how to talk to one another. I had a friend, a white guy

named Dave Weitzel. Ordinarily, we spent much of our shift goofing on each other the way you do when you’re 19 or so and nothing is all that serious. But on that day after, the space between us was filled with an awkward silence. Finally, Dave approached me. “I’m sorry,” he said, simply. “I didn’t know.” It is highly unlikely the new version of “Roots,” airing this week on the A&E television networks, will be the phenomenon the original was. There are, putting it mildly, more than three networks now and, with the ex-

ception of the Super Bowl, we no longer have communal television events. But the new show will be a success if it simply kindles in us the courage to confront and confess the history that has made us. I didn’t know much about that in 1977. Sixteen years of education, including four at one of the nation’s finest universities, had taught me all about the Smoot-Hawley tariff, but next to nothing about how a boy could be kidnapped, chained in the fetid hold of a ship and delivered to a far shore as property. As a result, I had only a vague sense of bad things having happened to black people in the terrible long ago. It stirred a sense of having been cheated somehow, left holding a bad check somehow, but I didn’t really know how or why. I was as ignorant as Dave. Small wonder. The history “Roots” represents embarrasses our national mythology. As a result, it has never been taught with any consistency. Even when we ostensibly spotlight black history in February, we concentrate on the achievements of black strivers — never the American hell they strove against. So you hear all about the dozens of uses

George Washington Carver found for a peanut, but nothing about Mary Turner’s newborn, stomped to death by a white man in a lynch mob. We don’t know what to do with those stories, so we ignore them, hoping that time, like a tide, will bear them away. But invariably, they wash up instead in mass incarceration, mass discrimination and the souls of kids who know their lives are shaped by bad things from long ago, even if they can’t always say how. Almost 40 years later, I’m embarrassed by the righteous vindication I got from Dave’s apology. Dave Weitzel, the individual man, had not done anything to me. But like me, he had never been given the tools to face the ugly truths America hides from itself, had never been taught how to have the conversation. So we had only his shame and my anger. Had we managed to push through those things, we might have found common humanity on the other side. But we couldn’t do that because we didn’t know how. Indeed, as best I can recall, we never talked about it again. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

GAY MARRIAGE WIN AT SUPREME COURT TRIGGERS

BACKLASH Movement on defensive less than a year after key ruling — and it goes beyond bathrooms

Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON When the Supreme Court declared a constitutional right to same-sex marriage last June, the man who won the leading case warned that opponents would find new ways to push back. “We will have to continue the fight,” Jim Obergefell said then — and he was right. For nearly a year, seesaw battles over religious exemptions and transgender rights have replaced what had been the gay

rights movement’s steady progress in winning protections against discrimination in states and cities. Legislative and legal skirmishes have been triggered by an intransigent Alabama governor and a defiant Kentucky county clerk, a Colorado baker and a Washington state florist, and most recently a conservative backlash that has traveled east from Texas to Mississippi to North Carolina. “We never thought this had to do with just marriage,” says Kristen Waggoner, senior vice president of legal advocacy at Alliance

San Diego police arrested 35 protesters Friday outside a Donald Trump rally after a peaceful demonstration devolved into chaos, according to police. Three hours into the calm protests, which drew up to 1,000 people, a number of demonstrators tried to breach an off-limits area, resulting in arrests, the police department said on Twitter. Officers used batons to keep several protesters off a railing used as a barrier between them and the convention center where Trump was speaking, the Associated Press reported. Then shouting matches erupted between protesters and Trump supporters as rallygoers left the center around 4 p.m. local time. The two sides began throwing trash at each other, and officers showed up in riot gear to push them apart, AP reported. Radio station KFMB shared video of officers pepper-spraying people. Shortly after, police said the protest became unlawful. “An unlawful assembly has now been declared,” San Diego police tweeted. “It is illegal to remain in the area.” Police ordered people to disperse and made arrests, citing violence and physical confrontations in the area. No property damage or injuries were reported, police said. San Diego was one of two Californian cities where Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, spoke Friday ahead of the state’s June 7 primary. Demonstrations formed in Fresno as well. AP reported 300 people planned to protest Trump’s visit to the region, which has a large Latino population.

A ‘year without summer’ on tap?

200 years ago we had snow in June, frozen lakes in July, killer frost in August Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Snow in June, freezing temperatures in July, a killer frost in August: “The most gloomy and extraordinary weather ever seen,” according to one Vermont farmer. Two centuries ago, 1816 became the year without a summer for millions of people in parts of

North America and Europe, leading to failed crops and near-famine conditions. While the chill’s cause was a mystery at the time, scientists and historians now know that the biggest volcanic eruption in human history — Mount Tambora in Indonesia in April 1815 — spewed millions of tons of dust, ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, temporarily changing the world’s climate and dropping global temperatures by as

much as 3 degrees. In addition to food shortages, the natural climate change caused disease outbreaks, widespread migration of people looking for a better home and religious revivals as people tried to make sense of it all. The gloom spread to the literary world, too: that foul, frigid year inspired the plot of Mary Shelly’s epic horror novel, Frankenstein. And it could happen again. Big

volcanoes can erupt anytime and with little warning, potentially changing the climate and giving a temporary reprieve to man-made global warming. “We cannot reliably predict exactly when a volcano will erupt, or how powerful it will be, until the eruption is nearly upon us,” said Nicholas Klingaman, coauthor of the book The Year without Summer. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Gulf War 25th anniversary will finally get its due Veterans to take D.C. by ‘storm’ on Monday Shakeeb Asrar @shakeeb_asrar USA TODAY

The first major celebration marking the 25th anniversary of the Persian Gulf War will happen Monday, as 500 veterans from the war will march in the Memorial Day parade in Washington, D.C. “We will have 500 veterans coming from around the country as well as the board of directors of

the Desert Storm War Memorial Association, marching together on Monday. This is our biggest event,” said Frederick Wellman, public relations chairman of the National Desert Storm War Memorial Association. While Feb. 28 marked the official anniversary of the cease-fire that ended the war 25 years ago, no special celebrations were held that day, a disappointment for some veterans. According to The Washington Post, the war veterans had several frustrated exchanges with the Department of Defense on its failure to mark the anniversary. Instead, Scott Stump, president

DNC’s Wasserman Shultz accused of playing favorites.

SANDERS CAMP BLASTS WASSERMAN SCHULTZ It’s well known that Bernie Sanders is not a fan of Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The Vermont senator recently endorsed the Florida congresswoman’s primary challenger and his campaign has contended Wasserman Schultz and the DNC have generally favored Clinton in the presidential race. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver touched on that theme in interviews Wednesday, telling CNN he thought “someone else could play a more positive role” than Wasserman Schultz as party chair. He cited Democratic debates held on weekends and a decision late last year to suspend Sanders’ access to a voter database.

Marco Rubio may be making nice with his former foe.

IS ALL FORGIVEN? Rubio is one of Trump’s vanquished foes, but few in the GOP field sparred in more personal terms with the real estate mogul than the Florida senator. Among insults lobbed, Trump blasted “Little Marco,” while Rubio labeled Trump a “con man.” But now Trump joins a chorus of Republicans urging Rubio to change his mind about his Senate race. Citing polls, Trump tweeted that Rubio “does by far the best in holding onto his Senate seat in Florida.” “Run Marco!” Rubio told CNN that he’d be willing to speak on Trump’s behalf at the GOP convention.

Defending Freedom, which represents many gay rights opponents in court. “This is about more than marriage.” It’s also about more than bathrooms, although a North Carolina law that denies transgender people the right to use public restrooms corresponding to their gender identity has dominated the LGBT rights debate for the past two months: uSome states, led by Mississippi and North Carolina, have enacted laws intended to protect those who deny services to gays, lesbians, bisexuals or transgender people because of religious objections. Tennessee and Kansas have passed less sweeping religious exemption laws. uLawsuits stemming from individual merchants’ refusal to participate in same-sex nuptials continue to move through state and federal courts. The most prominent cases involve a Colorado “cake artist,” Washington state florist and wedding venues in Illinois and New York. Across the country, the gay rights movement has been met with local opposition — sometimes where it was least expected, such as Houston, which had three times elected a lesbian mayor. That has forced the movement back on the defensive less than a year after its greatest success: the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges that extended same-sex marriage nationwide. “To some, this is the next front in the war,” says David Stacy, government affairs director at the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization. “Some of the intensity on the other side, some of the emotional intensity, comes from that.” Both sides in the battle say it’s about individual rights — LGBT rights to live free from discrimination, and religious or moral

rights to live free from government interference. It extends to education, employment and housing — and it may not be long before a lawsuit is headed back to the Supreme Court. “I think this moment is going to be short-lived, but a lot of damage can be done in this moment,” says Shannon Minter, legal director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights. “It will ultimately be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether Title VII (of the Civil Rights Act) and Title IX (of the Education Amendments Act) fully protect transgender people, and for that matter gay people.” ‘OBERGEFELL’ PLANTED SEEDS

Justice Anthony Kennedy’s historic ruling on same-sex marriage included a single paragraph warning of the war to come. “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered,” Kennedy conceded. “The same is true of those who oppose samesex marriage for other reasons.” Those battles had begun long before the Supreme Court’s decision. In states where same-sex marriage already was legal, merchants who refused to participate in gay and lesbian weddings based on religious objections were the targets of lawsuits. Most of them lost the early rounds and have appealed. The first major sign of resistance after the high court’s ruling came out of left field. Voters in Houston, where Mayor Annise Parker in 2010 became one of the first openly gay mayors of a major U.S. city, rejected a City Councilpassed ordinance to protect residents based on characteristics that included sexual orientation and gender identity. The simple slogan: “No Men in Women’s

Bathrooms.” “They identified an opening and exploited it,” says James Esseks, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s LGBT efforts. Then this year, state legislatures in South Dakota, Georgia, Mississippi and North Carolina passed laws pushing back against LGBT rights. The bills were vetoed by Republican governors Dennis Daugaard in South Dakota and Nathan Deal in Georgia but signed by Mississippi’s Phil Bryant and North Carolina’s Pat McCrory. Mississippi’s law protects those who deny services based on religious objections to gay marriage or transgender people. North Carolina’s prevents the state and its municipalities from establishing civil rights protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity. “You’re seeing an explosion of religious liberty legislation in the wake of Obergefell,” says Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, a conservative law firm and think tank involved in the effort. He calls it “just the tip of the iceberg of what we will see as Obergefell begins to settle on the rest of the country.” The fight reached the floor of the House of Representatives this month over an amendment intended to ban federal contractors from firing workers who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. The measure was blocked, then passed, then blocked again. STALLED IN THE STATES

Beset by such conflicts, gay rights advocates have made little progress in the past year on their major post-gay marriage agenda: passing state laws protecting the LGBT community against discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. Utah was the 22nd state to pass such a law in March 2015. Since then, gay rights activists

have met a wall of opposition in the remaining 28 states, mostly led by Republican governors and legislatures. “People are using Obergefell now to say ‘I can get married on a Sunday, but then I can go into work and get fired on the next day,” says Travis Weber, director of the center for religious liberty at the conservative Family Research Council. Even so, he says, “There’s a need to protect religious dissenters.” The two sets of legal skirmishes — over religious exemptions and transgender rights — “have made it difficult for us to move forward,” Esseks says. He calls them “responses to the reality of the freedom to marry nationwide.” There have been some victories for LGBT rights. Last month, a federal appeals court in Richmond ruled in favor of a transgender boy’s right to sue a Virginia school district over its bathroom policy. A handful of states, led by New York, have banned the use of controversial conversion therapy on minors. “It’s not as though we’re not making any legislative progress. We are,” Minter says. Even the prospect of passing non-discrimination laws in “red” states, he says, “is actually much less daunting after Obergefell than it was before.” But energized by their loss at the Supreme Court last June, religious objectors are fighting back amid a presidential election that has divided the country along geographical, ideological and cultural lines. “What’s at stake right now is so much bigger than whether someone has to shower with someone of the opposite sex,” Waggoner says. “I think Obergefell opened that door more broadly than it had been before. It not only jeopardizes religious freedom, but it jeopardizes all of our religious liberties.”

THE POWER TO PUT THE CHILL ON GLOBAL WARMING HARALDUR SIGURDSSON, UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND

Sulphuric gases rise from the crater of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. The eruption of Tambora in 1815 was the largest volcanic eruption in human history. v CONTINUED FROM 1B

A VOLCANO ERUPTS

The eruption of Tambora, on April 10, 1815, on the island of Sumbawa in what’s now Indonesia, was 100 times more powerful than the 1980 Mount St. Helens blast, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which ranked the eruption as a seven on its eightlevel volcanic explosivity index. The volcano spewed enough ash and pumice to cover a square area 100 miles on each side to a depth of almost 12 feet, according to the book, The Year Without Summer, by Klingaman and his father, William Klingaman. The death toll was at least 71,000 people, up to 12,000 of whom were killed directly by the eruption, according to the journal Progress in Physical Geography. When a volcano erupts, it does more than spew clouds of ash, which can cool a region for a few days and disrupt airline travel. It also spews sulfur dioxide, NASA reports. If the eruption is strong enough, it shoots that sulfur dioxide high into the stratosphere, more than 10 miles above Earth’s surface. Up there, sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapor to form sulfate aerosols. Because these aerosols float above the altitude of rain, they don’t get washed out. Instead they linger, reflecting sunlight and cooling the Earth’s surface, which is what caused the weather and climate impacts of Tambo-

ra’s eruption to occur more than a year later. MISERABLE SUMMER

Heavy snow fell in northern New England on June 7-8, with 18- to 20-inch high drifts. In Philadelphia, the ice was so bad “every green herb was killed and vegetables of every description very much injured,” according to American Weather Stories. Frozen birds dropped dead in Montreal, and lambs died from exposure in Vermont, the New England Historical Society said. On July 4, one observer wrote that “several men were pitching quoits (a game) in the middle of the day with heavy overcoats on.” A frost in Maine that month killed beans, cucumbers and squash, according to meteorologist Keith Heidorn. Ice covered lakes and rivers as far south as Pennsylvania, according to the Weather Underground. By the time August rolled around, more severe frosts further damaged or killed crops in New England. People reportedly ate raccoons and pigeons for food, the New England Historical Society said. Europe also suffered mightily: the cold and wet summer led to famine, food riots, the transformation of stable communities into wandering beggars and one of the worst typhus epidemics in history, according to The Year without Summer. Scientists’ best estimate is that the global-average temperature

cooled by almost 2 degrees in 1816, said Nicholas Klingaman, who is also a meteorologist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. Land temperatures cooled by about 3 degrees, he added.

ONCE IN A CENTURY

Eruptions on the scale of Tambora occur once every 1,000 years on average, but smaller events can still substantially impact the climate, Klingaman said. Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption in Indonesia caused global cooling nearly five years later. Similarly, Pinatubo in 1991 in the Philippines caused global temperatures to cool by about 1 degree, Klingaman said. Eruptions of that magnitude — about one-sixth the size of the Tambora eruption — happen about once every 100 years. With global temperatures at record highs, a massive eruption today could halt man-made climate change — but only temporarily: Warming would pick up where it left off once all the stratospheric dust settled out, a process that could take a few years or up to a decade, Weather Underground reported. The fallout on people, though, could last far longer. The colorful, dusty skies from Tambora’s epic blast inspired some of British artist J.M.W. Turner’s spectacular sunset paintings — some painted decades after the eruption.

TIGHT CLINTON-TRUMP POLLS HAVE SOME SKEPTICS

Heidi M Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton faces a fierce general election battle for the White House against Donald Trump, according to recent polls, but one group remains unconvinced: pollsters. Trump, who just secured the delegates needed to clinch the Republican presidential nomination, is in a statistical tie with Clinton, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post and NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls. In separate interviews, the pollsters who conducted those surveys cautioned that much of the tightening in the race comes from Trump consolidating the Republican vote while Clinton remains in a contentious primary battle with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Further, Sanders’ voters, especially those under the age of 30, are fuming over a superdelegate system they consider unfair and a Democratic National Committee chairwoman they believe has favored Clinton, among other grievances. But history suggests these Sanders backers are likely to align with Clinton in the end, both pollsters said. Skepticism over the latest Clinton-Trump numbers is further fueled by a Bloomberg Politics survey showing Trump trailing Clinton by 7 percentage points among middle-income voters in the Rust Belt states that will be pivotal to Trump’s chances in November. Sanders’ voters are so angry, according to the latest ABC data, that 20% say they’d vote for Trump over Clinton. Sounds serious, until it’s compared to the same time frame in the 2008 primary between Clinton and then-senator Barack Obama, when a slightly larger share of her voters, 24%, said they’d vote for the Republican candidate, John McCain. That didn’t happen, says Peter

Hillary Clinton has lost a sizable lead over Donald Trump in polls tracking the presidential race. Hart, a Democratic pollster who conducts NBC’s surveys with a Republican counterpart. “There is something that unites Bernie’s voters, and that is they really detest Donald Trump,” said Hart. Just 11% have a positive feeling and 81% have negative feelings about the real estate mogul. “Those people are going to walk in the door pretty quickly because they love Obama, they hate Trump and they’re overwhelmingly Democratic,” he said. Sanders’ voters are also highly motivated to vote, he said. “The idea that somehow they’re just about to walk away from the voting process does not hold water.” Much like Clinton’s voters in June 2008, Sanders supporters

“Her single greatest loss of support from March to today is young adults under 30.” Gary Langer, ABC News/Washington Post pollster

are “in a snit” and “annoyed” that their candidate is about to lose the nominating contest, said Gary Langer, the pollster who conducted the ABC poll. “It’s not the ideal time to ask them their preference in a general election,” he added. “By October of 2008, we were not talking about Clinton/ McCain voters and by October of this year, we will not be talking about Sanders/Trump voters in any way large enough to impact the election,” concurred Bill McInturff, Hart’s Republican polling counterpart. What’s more instructive at this stage, Langer said, is Clinton’s wide lead over Trump on a number of leadership attributes, such as experience, temperament and

realistic policies. While they are essentially tied on a number of them, Trump leads on just one: bringing needed change. Clinton also bests him by double digits on many issues, including looking out for the middle class and handling international crises. Trump leads on taxes and has a slight edge on trade. “It’s really more important to look at the candidates’ personal favorability, their attributes and their policy positions,” Langer said. “Those will tell us a lot more about how voters are coming to their decision.” The greatest risk to Clinton is if Sanders’ young voters stay miffed. In March, Clinton led Trump 64% to 25% among voters under the age of 30, in line with Obama’s past support, according to the ABC poll. Now, that demographic is virtually tied between Clinton and Trump. “Her single greatest loss of support from March to today is young adults under 30,” Langer said. Clinton’s lead over Trump would shoot back up 7 to 9 points, Hart estimates, with 70% of Sanders’ voters in her pocket. There’s no guarantee Sanders voters will come home to Clinton in the way hers did for Obama in 2008. That’s particularly true given that Clinton offered Obama a full-throated endorsement in early June of that year, while Sanders sees himself as the leader of a populist movement more focused on pushing Clinton as far as he can on his top issues. He’s pledged to take his battle to the July convention in Philadelphia. “Typically, when a party is in the midst of or only recently recovering from its primary campaign, there are bruised egos and bad feelings,” Langer said. “The Republicans are over their nominating contest and starting to heal their wounds.” For the Democrats, their healing process has not begun, Langer said. “People usually revert to their partisan predispositions,” he said.

More than 40 people were injured on Saturday when lightning struck a birthday party in Paris and a soccer game in Germany, the Associated Press reported. A Paris fire service spokesman says 11 people including eight children have been hit by lightning in a Paris park after a sudden spring storm overtook a child’s birthday party. Spokesman Eric Moulin says six of those struck by lightning were seriously injured, including four children and two adults — and four of them were in lifethreatening conditions. He said five other people were slightly in-

jured, including four children and another adult, according to the AP. In a similar incident, 35 people were taken to the hospital on Saturday afternoon after lightning struck a children’s soccer match in western Germany. Three adults were seriously injured in the incident Saturday afternoon in Hoppstaetten, including the referee, the AP said. Another 32 people, among them 30 children ages 9-11, were taken to the hospital as a precaution, the dpa news agency reported. ELSEWHERE ...

Democratic National Committee officials on Saturday turned down Bernie Sanders’ formal request for the ouster of “aggressive attack surrogates” for Hillary Clinton from key national convention committees. The campaign announced earlier that it wanted to remove Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy as a co-chairman of the Platform Committee and former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank as head of the Rules Committee. Frank has sharply criticized Sanders’ positions on breaking up big banks and Malloy has criticized Sanders on guns. “Governor Malloy and Mr. Frank have both been aggressive attack surrogates for the Clinton campaign,” Sanders campaign counsel Brad Deutsch wrote in a letter to the party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee. “Their criticisms of Sen. Sanders have gone beyond dispassionate ideological disagreement and have exposed a deeper professional, political and personal hostility toward the senator and his campaign.” But committee co-chairs Jim Roosevelt and Lorraine responded that his challenge “fails to meet the criteria” for dismissal. The Sanders campaign’s letter Friday came a week after Sanders said if he becomes president he would make sure Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida isn’t reappointed to her role as head of the DNC. He also began fundraising for her primary opponent, Tim Canova. Most members of the convention standing committees — rules, platform and credentials — are awarded to candidates based on the results of primaries and caucuses. Under party rules, Wasserman Schultz recommended co-chairs and a slate of 25 atlarge appointments per commit-

tee for approval by the party’s executive committee. In a May 6 letter to Wasserman Schultz, Sanders complained she selected only three of his more than 40 recommendations for committee appointments, and he said the selections of Malloy and Frank suggest the committees are being established “in an overtly partisan way.” Deutsch argued Friday that Frank and Malloy can’t be relied upon to perform convention duties fairly “while laboring under such deeply held bias.” In April, Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser, said Frank used Sanders’ remarks to a New York Daily News editorial board on April 1 to promote a story line that questions Sanders’ capacity to be president. Devine pointed to Frank’s April 6 statements on MSNBC that Sanders “confused several things” in his responses to questions about breaking up big banks. Frank also said Sanders’ responses to the editorial board were not “coherent.” Leigh Appleby, a Connecticut Democratic Party spokesman, told USA TODAY earlier this month that Malloy agrees with Sanders on many issues. “We are confident that the Platform Committee will come together behind a core set of values that unite us as Democrats and stand in stark contrast to the agenda of the Republican Party,” he said.

Tracking poachers before they kill Project looks to set up technological system of protection for rhinos Celia Camacho and María Lourdes Hércules Special for USA TODAY

Conservationists are testing drones, thermal cameras, helicopters and sensors — equipment usually associated with conventional warfare — in the fight against wildlife poachers in Africa. Dimension Data, a South African technology company, partnered with networking firm Cisco to start a two-phase project that tracks vehicles and people entering a game reserve next to Kruger National Park. The aim is to identify poachers and track them down before they kill. Because South Africa is home to about 70% of the rhinos in the world, most of which are in Kruger National Park, it made sense to use the space as a pilot project, Bruce Watson, who leads Dimension Data’s relationship with Cisco, told USA TODAY. About 85% of the poaching of Africa rhinos since 2008 occurred in South Africa. “Our initiative is focused on a more proactive approach that focuses less on the animal and more heavily on the movement of people in the game reserve. ... It will eliminate human error and tighten physical security throughout the reserve,” Watson said. For security reasons, the name of the private reserve is not revealed, Watson said. But Dimension Data confirmed it is about 150,000 acres, and rhinos are able to roam freely. Poachers killed at least 1,338 rhinos across Africa in 2015, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Since 2008, nearly 6,000 African rhinos have been killed by poachers. About three rhinos are killed a day in South Africa, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The number of white rhinos appears to have leveled off in Africa, with an estimated 19,700 to

Although international trade in rhino horn has been banned since 1977, demand is particularly high, especially in Southeast Asia, for medicinal

products, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Rhino horn sells for $132,000 a pound, the WWF said. That’s six times the value of a pound of gold. “Most of those rhinos were killed in Kruger National Park, and that is because most of the poachers came and still are coming from neighboring

Mozambique,” Bas Huijbregts of the World Wildlife Fund said. The first phase of the project is up and running, allowing the reserve to gather information to track and monitor individuals who enter and exit the protected area. The data are collected by biometric scanning and closed-circuit television technology. Since the data are stored in the cloud, rangers are able to retrieve information through different devices and make quick decisions if there is a threat alert, according to Dimension Data. The second phase of the operation is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2016. It consists of incorporating seismic sensors on the ground, thermal imaging, drone cameras in the sky and helicopters dispatched with armed response, Dimension Data said. The hightech arsenal would be used to track and apprehend poachers. However, conservationists raise concerns about poachers finding new ways to get to rhino horns despite innovative technology. Huijbregts said the hunters “are becoming really professional.” “Poor rural people are being (used) by criminal gangs to do the poaching. ... Very often it’s one hunter with one tracker and one porter going in at night when there is no moon and getting out again early in the morning. They make no fire, they don’t stay, so they are very mobile, very quick, so it’s very difficult to detect them,” he said. Poachers typically use a highpowered rifle with a silencer to kill the rhino with one bullet to avoid having to follow the wounded animal. Once the animal is down, the poacher cuts the horn with a saw and leaves the rest of the animal behind. Huijbregts said in addition to technological solutions, community support and government accountability are needed to protect the areas. “The tools are just one thing, but no tool replaces good management on the ground,” Huijbregts said.

World’s longest rail tunnel to open Swiss to celebrate grand plan for reducing vehicle traffic — a monster $10 billion, 20-year project

“Strategies had to be developed to recognize the nature of the rock and to apply the highest industrial mechanization during excavation.” Kalman Kovari, Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich

Helena Bachmann Special for USA TODAY

GENEVA Switzerland will celebrate an engineering marvel 20 years in the works on Wednesday: the debut of the world’s longest and deepest railroad tunnel. The new tunnel through the Alps is 35.5 miles long, exceeding by 2 miles the current recordholder, Japan’s Seikan Tunnel. Some sections lie a record 1.4 miles beneath the mountain’s peak. The tunnel will carry 325 passenger and freight trains a day, with each trip taking 20 minutes at speeds up to 150 mph. The goal is to reduce heavy auto traffic that creates pollution. “We are not showing off,” Transport Minister Doris Leuthard told Swiss Radio International about the $8 million grand opening expected to draw 100,000 people, a modest sum to spend to showcase a mammoth project that cost $10 billion and employed thousands of workers. The tunnel will go through 7,000-foot Gotthard Mountain. The mountain pass has long served as Europe’s main northsouth axis through the Alps, handling 6 million vehicles a year. Trucks hauling cargo across the continent’s most densely populated area, stretching from the United Kingdom to Italy, inevitably pass through the Gotthard, often creating congestion. To reduce the environmental impact of cars, the Swiss have wanted to shift traffic from the road to rail. In a 1992 referendum, voters approved constructing a tunnel to reduce transit time, hauling costs and air pollution. Work started in 1996, and the actual excavation using giant rolling drills 1,345 feet long and weighing 300 tons was completed in 2010. A 1,970-foot-long machine laid the concrete lining and drainage pipes. And once 28 million tons of rock were removed, workers began to install the tracks in two tunnel tubes. The time to complete the project was not unusual given its

complexity, said Kalman Kovari, emeritus professor of tunneling at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and a consultant on the project. The geology of the Alps means the hardness of the rocks vary, and “the rate of excavation per day depends on rock quality,” Kovari told USA TODAY. Even with

Concrete lining and drainage pipes follow the drilling of the 35-mile railway tunnel that took 20 years to construct.

high-performance boring machines, “it was clear that the construction time could not have been reduced substantially,” he said. Engineers knew they’d have to excavate through some hazardous zones that had crumbling rocks or potential flooding. The engineers solved the problem by using steel arches to support the excavation, a mining technology used for the first time in an underground tunnel. Other potential problems had to be tackled before construction could begin. One was that temperatures at the deepest spots exceeded 100 degrees. So the air had to be cooled to protect 2,600 workers excavating the rock.

“It was also important to protect the workers from accidents,” Kovari said. “Strategies had to be developed to recognize the nature of the rock and to apply the highest industrial mechanization during excavation.” Passenger safety also was a priority. According to AlpTransit, the company in charge of the project, a series of sophisticated emergency evacuation sites and alarms are installed along the train route. The Swiss, known for carefully crafted watches, chocolates and army knives, are just as proud of this gargantuan achievement. As the government boasts on its website, the tunnel “symbolizes Swiss values such as innovation, precision and reliability.”

NEWS MONEY SPORTS TIPS FROM A 1980S LIFE INVESTING SUPERHERO AUTOS TRAVEL

L awrence J ournal -W orld - USA TODAY SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2016

uFIND COMPANIES THAT WILL BE BIG DIVIDEND PAYERS.

BEVERLY HILLS Michael Milken — synonymous with investing in the 1980s — still has the ear of major CEOs around the world. When he offers tips about money, CEOs listen. Milken is permanently barred from the securities business due to pleading guilty to securities and tax violations. But he sometimes shares thoughts on investing to those in the right place to hear them — like to the highpowered audience at the Milken Institute Global Conference held in Beverly Hills this month. Milken moderated a panel of investors in a session called “Common Sense From Uncommon Investors.” Best known as the “junk bond king” for his work in high-yield bonds in the 1980s at brokerage Drexel Burnham Lambert, Milken’s name still carries weight with top executives, and his annual conference draws wellknown CEOs of companies ranging from electronics seller Best Buy, apparel seller Land’s End and packaged food producer Campbell Soup. It’s somewhat unusual for Milken to share thoughts on investing, but during his recent discussion, he summarized and condensed investing items he sees as relevant to many investors today, including:

uSTART WITH THE BIG PICTURE. Mil-

ken explained how successful investors first look for big global shifts that will affect many facets of life and then drill down to find ways to invest in that coming shift. These tectonic moves can be even more lucrative since so few investors take the time or have the ability to see them coming. “The best investors take a look

Facing the need to generate steady returns on their money, large investors often seek companies that have large dividend yields right now. But Milken cautions it’s often companies that don’t pay big dividends now that might prove to be the biggest dividend payers in later years. “It’s a lot better to buy the dividend stocks of tomorrow rather than the dividend stocks of today,” Milken says. “You’ll get a lot higher rate of return on your money.”

“One of the major challenges we have is so many investors perceive they haven’t taken risk, when they’ve taken great risk.” Michael Milken

uKNOW YOUR LIMITS.

Michael Milken, best known as the “junk bond king” in the 1980s, still knows how to draw a crowd. at the world on a macro basis and then try to figure out, looking at the macro basis, for the best ways to deploy,” he says. “We are quite often surprised how little research people do and how divorced they are ... from the real world.” uKNOW WHEN TO BE AFRAID. Man-

aging risk is one of the biggest jobs for investors and executives. But many decision-makers allow themselves to mistakenly think risky investments are safe because others say there’s no risk. “Often the greatest risk is when you perceive no risk,” Milken says. Milken pointed to the poor long-term performance of government debt as a good example. Investors typically pay up for what’s known as “sovereign debt” because they think the securities are safe, and government officials

say they are. But that assumption has caused costly mistakes by banks in the past and could return. uRISK IS NECESSARY FOR PROGRESS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTENTIONALLY AND CONSCIOUSLY. Inves-

tors and CEOs must take risks to succeed. To underscore his point, Milken quoted Facebook cofounder Mark Zuckerberg: “The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risk.” But Milken said rather than taking risk, many investors and CEOs think they can sidestep danger by taking what they think are safe bets. But this is a folly as these executives are actually taking on greater risk as a result, Milken says. “One of the major challenges we have is so many investors perceive they haven’t taken risk when they’ve taken great risk.”

Milken spent much of his time subtly criticizing the recent trend in investing to buy passive investments such as index funds. Index funds don’t try to find the best opportunities, but instead offer investors a low-cost way to diversify and get exposure to the market return. Milken, though, says macro events can present big opportunities that require expertise to find — or those to avoid. “If you don’t have expertise in a sector or knowledge, invest with someone else who does rather than diversify,” he says. One of the troubles with trying to beat the market, or picking someone who says they can, is that it takes many years of outperformance before one can prove the investor is beating the market due to skill, rather than luck, says Mark Hebner, founder of Index Fund Advisors. For instance, on average it would take 180 years to prove that the average fund manager who beat the market did so from skill rather than just luck. Milken acknowledges the difficulty professionals have in finding these opportunities again and again. “In reality, very few people achieve those rates of returns ... for a long period of time.”

But creating content doesn’t guarantee viewers will select it Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

The European Union wants to increase Europe’s filmmaking, and it’s going after streaming services like Netflix and Amazon to do it. In a new proposal published last week updating Europe’s Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the European Commission outlined plans to get Netflix, Amazon and other video-on-demand services to increase their investment in European films and TV shows. As part of the proposition, the EU is looking to require “on-demand providers to ensure at least 20% share of European content in their catalogs.” According to the EU, both Netflix and Apple’s iTunes currently are just above the proposed level. European content makes up 28% of Amazon’s library, according to IHS Technology. In comments on a draft of the proposal published in October, Netflix came out against mandated quotas for content, saying that it would be “potentially detrimental to the sustainability of existing and new business models and personalization of services that allow European consumers to access a wide variety of European and international content.” Creating more European content, Netflix argues, doesn’t guarantee that people would watch it as viewers using on-demand ser-

vices, unlike traditional viewers of broadcasting, select the shows and films they want to watch and Netflix’s recommendations are based on those selections. In a statement provided to USA TODAY, the company reaffirmed that stance. “Our members around the world love European programming, that’s why our investment in European programming, including Netflix original titles created in Europe, is growing. We appreciate the Commission’s objective to have European production flourish, however the proposed measures won’t actually achieve that.” Beyond the quota, the new

proposal stipulates that EU members can ask those providing ondemand services to contribute funds to European film and television productions. The funds would be based on revenue a provider like Netflix would have earned in one of the EU’s member states. In its most recent quarter, Netflix’s international streaming revenue was slightly over $651 million with more than 34 million international subscribers. The popular streaming service expanded its international offerings in January and is now available across most of Europe. Netflix has begun developing programs in Europe, releasing this month a new French political drama, Marseille, starring Gerard Depardieu. The company has other shows in production in Spain, Germany and Italy. A new series, The Crown, about Queen Elizabeth II, premieres in November and was filmed in the United Kingdom. Amazon now offers its Prime Instant Video service in Europe only to customers in Germany, Austria and Britain and would therefore, for now, be less affected by any new legislation. The company is planning to expand in Europe and earlier this month said it plans to bring its streaming service to France. “I want online platforms and the audiovisual and creative sectors to be powerhouses in the digital economy, not weigh them down with unnecessary rules,” said Andrus Ansip, vice president of EU’s Digital Single Market, in a statement announcing the rules. “They need the certainty of a modern and fair legal environment: That is what we are providing today.”

WAYS TO HAVE A HAPPY RETIREMENT Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

This is probably not the news you want to read. But facts are facts. And these are the cold, hard and unfortunate facts. Fewer American retirees say they are “very satisfied” with their retirements, and a growing number report they are “not at all satisfied,” according to research recently published by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). What’s more, the decrease in retirees saying they’re very satisfied with retirement is not limited to any particular economic group or gender: Rich and poor, men and women and those with pensions and those without are increasingly unhappy. And what’s worse, it’s not clear why this trend is happening, according to Sudipto Banerjee, EBRI research

associate and author of the study. To be fair, Banerjee noted in the report that, as might be expected, net worth and health status continue to be strongly correlated with retirement satisfaction: “Higher net worth is associated with higher levels of satisfaction, and poorer health is associated with lower levels of satisfaction,” he wrote. But, in general, happiness in retirement is proving elusive. “The relationship between retirement and life satisfaction is a complicated one,” says Karl Andrew Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University and author of 30 Lessons for Living. “People who retire because of health problems, for example, or because they were forced to do so may have a difficult time. On the other hand, a well-planned retirement with a smooth transition can lead to an improved quality of life.” So, what can pre-retirees and retirees do to have a great time in retirement? Recent research, say Pillemer and other experts, offers some important insights — some unexpected.

DETERMINE WHAT IS MOST MEANINGFUL IN YOUR LIFE

Ask yourself: What would bring the greatest satisfaction, delight, pleasure and purpose ASAP? Ask that question long before retirement or, if you find yourself in a meaningless retirement, right now, says George Kinder, president of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning and author of “Life Planning for You.” One tool to try: LifePlanningForYou.com. “Life-planning questions cut through the issues of money and health that are perceived as the largest blocks to satisfaction in retirement, by being deep and profound questions about what you want most to accomplish and most to be in your life,” Kinder says.

DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD RETIREMENT

Research has found that viewing retirement as a sign of growth and having positive views of physical and mental health have profound effects, Pillemer says. “In fact, people with negative retirement stereotypes have been found not to live as long as people with positive attitudes toward retirement,” he says. “So make thinking positively about your future as a retiree part of your preparation.”

LEARN TO BE SOCIAL

Staying happy in retirement means staying connected, Pillemer says. “As we experience the loss of work relationships and the loss of significant others because of moves or death, we need to replace them to stay satisfied,” he says. In interviews with hundreds of older people regarding their advice for retirement, Pillemer said he learned this: “You don’t need to become a back-slapping extrovert, but you do need to develop and maintain connections to others. And loneliness and isolation after retirement can literally be a killer. So work on developing new relationships and meaningful roles, from volunteering, to taking a parttime job, to visiting a local senior center.”

CONSIDER A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY

Yes, Americans have an ingrained ideal that we should “age in place,” each of us staying alone in our big house, Pillemer says. “But actually, my interviews and other research show that people may do better by ‘aging in community.’ The wide range of senior living options now makes it possible to find a community where your social needs can be met and you can stay engaged.”

LOOK AFTER YOUR HEALTH

Yes, it’s obvious, but it bears repeating. “There’s ample evidence that heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, hip fractures and high blood pressure, among other chronic illnesses, can be prevented or improved through diet and exercise,” says Dan Solin, author of “The Smartest” series of investing books. “Up to 60% of cancers are related to poor diet.”

“The relationship between retirement and life satisfaction is a complicated one.” Karl Andrew Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University

MEDITATE

Meditation, Solin says, improves health, increases empathy, reduces stress, sharpens your mind, increases your creativity, reduces chronic pain and increases your overall happiness.

Want to switch careers? How to pay for it Educational costs can be worth it: Half who change careers after 45 made more later

Occupational Outlook Handbook can help you find in-demand occupations and their average earnings. Physical therapist assistants, for instance, need an associate’s degree, and demand for them is projected to grow 41% by 2024. The median pay in 2015 was $55,170. Once you’ve settled on an occupation, consider getting your credentials through a part-time program at a community college or state university. “If the program you’re in makes it impossible to keep your current job full time, ask if you can work for them part time or on a consulting basis so that you can keep bringing in some cash while going to school,” says Kathryn Hauer, a certified financial planner at Wilson David Investment Advisors in Aiken, S.C.

Brianna McGurran NerdWallet

A bad day at work can make anyone dream about switching jobs. But if those scattered thoughts form into a plan to change careers, you might need to dust off your book bag and head back to school. Hitting the books in your 30s, 40s or 50s requires money at an age when retirement savings and mortgage payments may be top of mind. You can get financial aid as an adult learner, but to keep your spending in check, you’ll have to think strategically.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TUITION REIMBURSEMENT AND OTHER FREE MONEY

MAKE SURE YOUR INVESTMENT IS WORTH IT

Before you jump back into caffeine-fueled study sessions, research salary and employment trends in your chosen field — especially if you want to make more money. That’s a realistic goal: Half of adults surveyed who successfully changed careers after age 45 said their income increased, according to a 2015 American Institute for Economic Research report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’

You’d be especially smart to stay at your current job if your company provides tuition reimbursement, which you can use to pay yourself back for educational expenses. Up to $5,250 in these benefits can be tax-free each year, according to the IRS — as long as it’s put toward tuition, books and supplies. The Society for Human Resource Management’s 2015 Employee Benefits report found 56% of the employers surveyed helped workers pay for undergraduate

studies and 52% helped them pay for graduate studies. The average maximum benefit was $4,591. If your company offers tuition reimbursement, ask your HR representative if the program has any requirements. For example, you may have to stay at the company for a certain amount of time after you graduate.

“To think you can’t get any financial aid or help just because you’re 40 years old is incorrect. There’s money for people of every age who want to go to college.” Kathryn Hauer, financial planner

And be sure to look for private or school-sponsored scholarships for career changers that cover some or all of your school expenses upfront. Education tax breaks, such as the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Tax Credits, can also give you some relief at tax time. FILL OUT THE FAFSA

Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA, every year you study so you don’t miss out on federal, state or school funding. Your eligibility depends on your income

and whether you’re considered independent — not on your field of study or whether you’re a returning student. “In a lot of ways I would really treat this very similar to someone who is going to college for the first time,” says Brett Tushingham, a certified financial planner and managing member at Tushingham Wealth Strategies in Wilmington, N.C. The FAFSA determines your expected family contribution, or how much you can afford to pay out of pocket for education. If there’s a difference between that amount and your school’s cost, you might be eligible for need-based aid, such as Pell Grants, or subsidized student loans. As an adult student, it’s crucial to keep your borrowing in check. Take on federal student loans, as opposed to private loans, to get lower interest rates and access to federal student-loan-forgiveness programs. It’s also wise to choose a school that pledges to meet a high percentage of students’ financial need. “To think you can’t get any financial aid or help just because you’re 40 years old is incorrect,” Hauer says. “There’s money for people of every age who want to go to college.” McGurran is a staff writer at NerdWallet.

CLASS 6A STATE BASEBALL

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Strathman throw saves Free State There were still five outs to record and a handful of crucial moments that came before and after it, but Free State High first baseman Nate Strathman’s flawless execution in the bottom of the sixth inning of Saturday’s Class 6A state semifinal victory over Blue Valley at Hoglund Ballpark was the play that sent the Firebirds to the state championship game and the brink of their second consecutive state title. The repeat was not to be, as the Firebirds (20-5) fell to Shawnee Mission East, 4-3, in heart-breaking fashion in extra innings in the title game. But without Strathman’s clutch play, the current version of one of the most consistently strong prep programs in Lawrence since Free State first opened its doors would not have come as close as it did to making history. With Free State leading 1-0 and senior closer Hunter Gudde hunting the save after five stellar innings from starter Trevor Munsch, Blue Valley touched the Free State ace and Sunflower League pitcher of the year for three consecutive hits, some hit hard, others hit right. Just like that, Blue Valley had the bases loaded with no outs and Free State was in a jam. But all of that changed when a 3-2 pitch from Gudde to Blue Valley’s Daniel Hegarty was ripped to Strathman at first, who knocked it down after one hop, recovered and cut down the lead runner at the plate. Often times, when a defender is scrambling in a pressure situation, the player will go with the easy play to ensure that at least something goes right. Not Strathman. Instead of scurrying to get the easier out at first base, which would have allowed the tying run to score, he gathered himself and the ball and fired a strike to the plate. Free State catcher Jaden Moore pumped his fist after the put-out, a clear sign of just how big the play was. Strathman knew it, too. In fact, he knew the minute the ball was hit. He just didn’t let it impact his performance. “Those thoughts were in my head,” he said of the magnitude of both the play and the situation. “But I didn’t think I’d make a bad throw on the play.” Neither did Gudde, who was still breathing sighs of relief 30 minutes after the official scorer penciled in 3-2 in the score book. “I expect that out of him,” Gudde said. “He’s a great first baseman and he’s come a long way throughout the year, defensively especially, and he’s a big time player.... Plays like that can determine a win or a loss, and one did today.” Senior second baseman Mikey Corbett followed Strathman’s gem with one

FREE STATE HIGH JUNIOR MATT HILL LOOKS BACK AS SHAWNEE MISSION EAST PLAYERS STORM THE FIELD in celebration following the Kansas 6A state championship game Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. The Firebirds fell to the Lancers, 4-3, in extra innings.

Ninth-inning error gives SM East title By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Mikey Corbett knelt on the Hoglund Ballpark turf late Saturday afternoon. Like many of his Free State High baseball teammates nearby, the senior second baseman tried unsuccessfully to fend off tears, as he thought again about the final sequence of the Class 6A state championship game. It was a throw, Corbett said later, that he makes 10 times out of 10. On this particular occasion, though, in extra innings against Shawnee Mission East, the second baseman’s short-distance toss to first went askew. Instead of recording the second out, the ball dropped to the ground. Lancers freshman pinch runner Phillip Cole raced from second to home on Free State’s first error of the day, and SME beat the defending state champs, 4-3, in nine innings.

“I feel the weight of so many hours of kids growing up playing baseball,” Corbett said after receiving numerous words of encouragement from his coaches and teammates. “I feel that weight on my shoulders right now.” FSHS coach Mike Hill consoled Corbett after the Firebirds received their runners-up hardware, and let his senior infielder know the throw wasn’t what lost the game. Hill reminded Corbett, who had Tommy John surgery a year ago, he could’ve easily decided not to play through pain this spring. “And his arm’s been killing him the whole weekend,” Hill revealed. “He just played on guts and because he loves his teammates… That kid was a two-year starter for us and went 41-9 and played in two state championship games. And he’s got a ring. He’s a great young man, and he’s got a lot to be proud of.” His teammates had to feel some pride, as well, in the

Sunflower League showdown. Free State (20-5) got shut out by SME (21-4) on the road just over a month ago, but turned the title-game rematch into a memorable battle. Actually, it reminded Hill of the Firebirds’ extra-inning loss to Goddard on a walk-off home run back in 2004. “But, holy cow, did our kids fight? I’m not sure position by position we match up (with SME) to be very frank with you,” Hill said. “But in terms of determination and courage and buying in — all the things you would want a group of kids to stand for — that’s what we got, and that’s why we got here.” The Lancers, who threw staff ace and soon-to-be MLB draft pick Joey Wentz in an 11-0 semifinal victory over Washburn Rural, took a one-run lead in the first and a two-run lead in the third. By the time the sixth inning rolled around, Free State trailed 3-1 with six outs to go. A tying rally began in the

top of the sixth as a slow roller between the pitching mound and third base became an infield single for junior Zion Bowlin. After SME starting pitcher Henry Miller retired the next two hitters, senior Parker Tietjen drew a walk. The short string of offensive hope allowed junior Nathan Strathman to pound a two-run, game-tying double to the left-field gap. “That’s a guy,” Hill added, “who was playing JV ball halfway through the year. What’s that say about him, that he can elevate his level of play, and then come into this environment in front of that kind of crowd, in that kind of situation, with a state title on the line and deliver the way that he did?

Woods, LHS settle for second By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@shawneedispatch.com

Wichita — Lawrence High senior JD Woods left it all on the line for the Lions in final meet for LHS, but it was a painful ending to a standout career for the Missouri Western football signee. With Shawnee Mission North leading Lawrence High by one point going into the 4x400-relay, Woods took the baton on the anchor with a state title in reach. North’s Noah Stevenson was able to hold off Woods down the home stretch, though, and the Lions settled for a secondplace finish. “I knew he had to get one point (better than North), and I was just trying to stay Please see TAIT, page 3C with him the whole time,”

Woods said. “He edged me out by about five, 10 meters and I couldn’t keep up with him.” While Woods knew right once he crossed the line that the state title was that close, junior Trey Moore — who led off the relay — said the LHS senior had nothing to have his head down about. “JD made himself a legendary career in his four years at LHS,” Moore said. “So many people, including me, look up to him and try to follow in his footsteps and understand his teachings. He left his mark in a good way, and did his best.” Moore did his part in helping the Lions to be state runners-up, as he claimed two second-place finishes in the 110 and 300 hurdles. “I did good. I just wish I would have got first in one

of them because that would have changed the whole game,” Moore said. Senior Amani Bledsoe led Lawrence High on the second day with a first-place finish in the shot put. Although Bledsoe is going to the University of Oklahoma to play football in the fall, he said track and field has been something he’s cherished. Bledsoe said that an individual state title was a nice way to end his time at Lawrence High “It’s really nice. All athletes can ask for is another chance to compete,” Bledsoe said. The Lions finished with 55 points, while the Indians won their first track and Zach Tuttle/Special to the Journal-World field title since 1973 with 57 LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL’S JD WOODS RUNS THE points.

More than a decade ago, Baylor was at the center of a sordid scandal involving murder and drugs, leading to some of the harshest penalties the NCAA has ever doled out. Apparently, the Bears didn’t learn their lesson. Now, with the school accused of covering up numerous cases of sexual assault involving the football team, it’s time to go a step further. Pull the plug on Baylor’s entire athletic program. For good. This is not a step taken lightly, and plenty of innocent people would undoubtedly be hurt. But there’s always collateral damage when it comes to dealing with wrongdoing of this magnitude, so let’s get on with it. If there’s any honor at the nation’s largest Baptist university, it will make this decision without prodding from the NCAA. At the very least, de-emphasizing the program — such as dropping athletes down to Division II or III — would show that Baylor recognizes the need for drastic action to reclaim its standing as an institution of higher learning, not a criminal organization. Don’t hold your breath on that one. It would deprive the school, which opened a $250 million stadium on campus two years ago, of tens of millions of dollars. Indeed, Baylor tipped off its defensive position Thursday, moving to fire coach Art Briles and reassigning university President Kenneth Starr in what was a clear attempt to mitigate the damage. If Baylor doesn’t do the right thing, that would leave it to the NCAA to consider the death penalty for only the second time in its history, at least putting the Bears out of the football business for a season or two. Sound harsh? Not so much when you consider the Texas school’s history. The cesspool that was the men’s basketball program bubbled up after the 2003 murder of player Patrick Dennehy by one of his teammates, Carlton Dotson. That tragedy unleashed a probe into allegations ranging from rampant drug use among players to improper payments by the coaching staff. Before being forced out, scoundrel coach Dave Bliss was even recorded trying to persuade players to lie about illegal payments to Dennehy, to say he got the money dealing drugs — really, about as low as one can go to cover his tracks. For the most part, the NCAA directs its enforcement wrath toward such heinous offenses as players selling off their jerseys to earn a little extra meal money. More serious cases — see the academic fraud scandal at North Carolina — generally drag on for years, often resulting in sanctions that don’t come close to matching the crime. Yes, there was that time the NCAA dropped the hammer on Penn State for allowing child predatorslash-football coach Jerry Sandusky to roam free on campus. But in the end, the organization meekly reversed course, vacated most of the sanctions and allowed the Nittany Lions to carry on as if nothing happened. Well, here’s another case that calls for the harshest of punishments. If the death penalty isn’t appropriate now, it never will be.

GOLDEN STATE’S HARRISON BARNES, RIGHT, LOSES THE BALL as he tries to get past Oklahoma City’s Dion Waiters. The Warriors won Game 6 of the Western Conference finals, 108-101, on Saturday night in Oklahoma City.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Warriors force Game 7 Oklahoma City (ap) — Klay Thompson made a playoffrecord 11 three-pointers and scored 41 points, and the defending champion Golden State Warriors forced a seventh game in the Western Conference finals with a 108-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. Stephen Curry bounced back from a slow start to finish with 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. The Warriors, who set the league’s regular-season record with 73 wins, will host Game 7 on Monday. The winner will play Cleveland in the NBA Finals. “I just so proud of everybody, man,” Thompson said. “We were down almost the whole game and we never gave up.” Oklahoma City dominated Games 3 and 4 at home, but the Warriors made 21 of 44 threepointers on Saturday, while Oklahoma City was 3 of 23. “About time we had a stretch in this building where we imposed our will,” Curry said. Kevin Durant scored 29 points and Russell Westbrook added 28 for the Thunder. But Durant made just 10 of 31

shots and Westbrook was 10 of 27. Trying to become the 10th team to overcome a 3-1 deficit, the Warriors trailed much of the game and were behind by eight going to the fourth quarter. Thompson kept them in it with four three-pointers in just over seven minutes to start the period. Curry then hit two threes, the second of which tied the game at 99 with 2:47 to play. Thompson’s three with 1:35 to play put the Warriors up 104-101. The Thunder, who blew a number of fourth-quarter leads during the regular season, fell apart in the final minutes after Golden State had finally gone ahead for good. Westbrook lost control of the ball, and after Thompson

missed a three, Westbrook turned the ball over again. Curry’s layup with 14.3 seconds to play put the Warriors up by five, the Thunder turned it over again, and the Warriors were in the clear. The Thunder led 23-20 after one quarter, then seized momentum early in the second. Steven Adams’ powerful onehanded dunk on Draymond Green drew a roar from the crowd and gave Oklahoma City a 37-28 lead.

Serena advances in France Paris — Defending champion Serena Williams needed five match points after waiting out a rain delay of more than 2 1/2 hours, but she eventually moved into the fourth round of the French Open with a 6-4, 7-6 (10) victory over 26th-seeded Kristina Mladenovic of France. In a tight, well-played match at Court Philippe Chatrier, action was suspended Saturday when a thunderstorm arrived right before Williams and Mladenovic began the second-set tiebreaker.

Spieth bags Colonial lead Fort Worth, Texas — Jordan Spieth shot a 5-under 65, even while missing a lot of fairways and a few greens, to take the third-round lead Saturday at Colonial. The second-ranked Spieth was alone in the lead at the Dean & Deluca Invitational after three birdies and a huge par save in a four-hole stretch in the middle of his round. At 12-under 198, he was one stroke ahead of Colonial member Ryan Palmer and Webb Simpson. Palmer overcame consecutive bogeys early to shoot 66. Simpson shot 67 after 3-foot par putt at the 18th hole for a share of the lead lipped out of the cup.

Pelicans guard Dejean-Jones fatally shot Dallas — New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot after breaking down the door to a Dallas apartment, authorities said Saturday. A man living at the apartment was sleeping when he heard his front door kicked open, Dallas Police Senior Cpl. DeMarquis Black said in a statement. When Dejean-Jones began kicking at the bedroom door, the man retrieved a handgun and fired. Officers who responded found Dejean-Jones collapsed in an outdoor passageway, and he later died at a hospital. He was 23. “We are devastated at the loss of this young man’s life,” the Pelicans said in a statement. It is legal in Texas for someone to use deadly force in order to protect themselves from intruders. Julie Keel, a spokeswoman for Camden Property Trust, the real estate company that owns the apartment complex in Dallas, confirmed that the complex’s apartment manager had sent out an email to residents saying that the person who had been shot had been trying to break into “the apartment of an estranged acquaintance” and that this person had “inadvertently” broken into the wrong apartment. Black said he could not confirm that DejeanJones was trying to access an acquaintance’s apartment.

Hamlin takes Xfinity race Concord, N.C. — Denny Hamlin passed Kyle Larson and Joey Logano in overtime to win the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Larson appeared to have victory in his sights, but a caution came out with two laps to go when Erik Jones’ tire went down, forcing a two-lap overtime situation. Larson and Logano, who were running 1-2, elected to stay on the track while Hamlin pitted for four tires. The strategy proved correct as Hamlin first passed Larson, who got loose and hit the wall, and then Logano to win going away.

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR MICHAEL CORBETT (10) GETS THE TAG DOWN on Shawnee Mission East senior Joseph Wentz at second base during the Kansas 6A title game Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. The Firebirds fell to the Lancers, 4-3, in nine innings.

Free State knocks off No. 1 seed in semis ther hit led to a Free State run. The Firebirds took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth, when Bowlin led off and reached on an error. A sacrifice bunt from cleanup hitter Kyle Abrahamson, a sophomore, and assertive base running by Bowlin did the rest. Senior Hunter Gudde grounded out to third base, but as the throw to first retired Gudde, Bowlin took off for third. The Tigers (21-3) couldn’t corral the ensuing sling, back across the diamond, and Bowlin scored. Free State padded its lead in the top of the seventh, after senior designated hitter Parker Tietjen drew a one-out walk that ended Demmel’s day. From there, pinch runner Zack Sanders came in and stole second. One batter later, Sanders got the goahead sign to try and steal third, too, and an error on that attempt allowed him to score with ease. The semifinal certainly didn’t lack drama. Munsch struck out five and only surrendered two hits in five innings of work before Gudde, the winning pitcher for FSHS in the first round against

Derby, stepped on the mound in the bottom of the sixth. Gudde gave up hits to the first two batters he faced, then elected to try and get the lead runner, BVHS senior Tanner Fox, with a force at third base when senior Gunner Halter bunted. The fielder’s choice loaded the bases with no outs for the Tigers, who trailed by just one run at the time. Free State’s error-free defense gets credit for ending a dangerous Blue Valley rally. Junior Daniel Hegarty smacked a ground ball at Firebirds first baseman Nathan Strathman, who fielded it cleanly and gunned a throw home for a force out. Next, the defending champs escaped the inning as BVHS senior Kobe Gelles connected on a grounder to senior FSHS second baseman Mikey Corbett. Corbett made a head’s up play to tag Hegarty, pivot and gun a throw to first for the inning-ending double play.

walks and scored the tying run in the sixth: “We knew we could get to anyone (with Wentz not pitching). We knew our pitchers were gonna keep us in the game. We knew our defense was gonna keep us in the game. And that’s how every game is with us. It’s just scraping across runs and, you know, people come up in big situations. We get key hits and we’re in it in the ninth.” Eventually, Corbett said, the Firebirds will focus more on their twoyear run, complete with consecutive championship-game berths, and less on the pain that accompanied a nine-inning clash. “There won’t be anything I’m ever a part of or a member of in any facet of my life that will be more

meaningful and special than what we’ve had in my past four years at Free State,” Corbett explained. “It’s gonna be something that’s gonna be replayed in my head forever. Last year it was amazing. It just hurts so much to come up short with something that could’ve been prevented.” Added Tietjen: “It’s been awesome. The seniors last year really led the way for us with everything they did, on the field, off the field, and it really helped pave the way for seniors this year… It’s tough we couldn’t (repeat). But I’ll take that. I’ll take that.” Free State 001 002 000 — 3 5 1 SM East 100 000 001 — 4 7 2 W — Luke Anderson. L — Hunter Gudde. 2B — Nathan Strathman, FSHS.

But every time it does, especially for Corbett and Strathman, the entire Free State team and those two infielders should remember a couple of clutch plays in the sixth inning in the semifinal that gave the Firebirds all any team ever wants — a chance to play for a championship. That will make them smile. Every time.

FREE STATE’S ETHAN DONLEY COMPETES IN THE 800 at the Kansas state track meet on Saturday in Wichita. Donley won the event with a time of 1:53.95. He also won the 1600 meters in 4:15.64.

Lawrence High girls four-repeat in 4x4 While the Lions’ boys 4x400 was crushed after the end of its race, the Lawrence High girls 4x400 relay was on cloud nine after winning the event for the fourth straight year. Three of the four faces from Lawrence High’s 4x400-meter relay team did not return from last season, but the one Lion who returned made sure that the precedent was still set for LHS. A year removed from wrapping her arms around Leah Gabler, Jensen Edwards and Marissa Pope after winning a third straight Class 6A championship in the 4x400, senior Kyleigh Severa led the charge to help Lawrence High to a four-repeat in the event as the state track and field championships concluded Saturday at Wichita State’s Cessna Stadium. “It’s the best feeling in the world,” Severa said. “This relay means so much to me, so much to my team and so much to our school. I’ve never been so proud to wear Lawrence Lions across my chest.” After Gabler, Pope and Edwards graduated last spring, Severa and last year’s first alternate — junior Myah Yoder — still provided an experienced two legs of the event, but freshmen Hannah Stewart and Evann Seratte added to fresh faces to the mix. The complexion of upperclassmen and youth meshed perfectly, as the Lions won the relay with a season-best time of 3:57.07. “It’s an enormous amount of pressure on them this year to run 58s and run under four minutes and to get the fourpeat this year, and they handled the pressure extremely well,” Severa said. Severa and Seratte also did some damage in their individual events as well. Seratte placed third in the 400-meter dash, while Severa clocked in at fourth in the 200-meter dash. Severa was overcome with emotion again after the meet with her time at Lawrence High coming

The defending Class 6A state baseball champions scrapped their way to a shot at a repeat. Free State High, the No. 4 seed at the state tournament this season, knocked off top-seeded Blue Valley, 2-0, Saturday morning at Hoglund Ballpark. In typical Firebirds fashion, they had no problem capitalizing on their opponents’ mistakes in the semifinal, as senior left-handed pitcher Tervor Munsch and the defense finished the job. In fact, FSHS only mustered two hits against Tigers starter Jared Demmel, who threw six and 1/3 innings in the loss. Free State junior Jacob Pavlyak led off the game with an infield single, but the Firebirds (20-5, after losing in nine innings to Shawnee Mission East in the title game) didn’t register another hit until the top of the sixth, when a soft chopper off junior Zion Bowlin’s bat refused to roll foul down the thirdbase line.

MEMBERS OF LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL’S 4X400 TEAM celebrate after winning their fourth straight state title at the Kansas state track meet Saturday in Wichita. to an end, but the state meet offered a nice transition for Severa to the next level. The Wichita State signee will continue to call Cessna Stadium home as she competes for the Shockers next year. “I’m going to leave it all on this track as a Chesty Lion, and in four years, and I’m going to leave it all on the track as a WSU Shocker,” Severa said. The LHS girls squad finished 10th in the team standings with 30 points.

FSHS’ Donley doubles up in 800, 1600 Free State senior Ethan Donley had his coming out party at state last year after winning the 800-meter run, and he repeated as the state champ in the event in his final meet as a Firebird. Donley clocked in with a time of 1:53.95 on his way to a first-place finish, but that was just a part of what made the day special for the Kansas University signee. Earlier in the day, Donley also won the 1600 with a time of 4:15.64. Donley said that his victory in the 1600 helped set the table for his win in the 800. “It feels good. Last year, I had a rough mile and kind of went out in the 800 and wasn’t really sure,” Donley said. “So

to be able to have a good race early on, I think that really set me up for this to just give me the confidence to finish out the day strong in my open events.” The two victories for Donley accounted for 20 of the Firebirds’ 35 points, as Free State placed sixth in the boys team standings.

Venters paces FSHS girls to sixth place Another distance runner set the tone for the Free State girls squad in Emily Venters. The FSHS junior was the state runner-up in the 1600, and added a seventh-place finish in the 800. Venters hung on to eventual state champion Molly Born of SM Northwest for 1,300 meters, and clocked in with a time of 4:56.93 — which was a familiar feeling for the Firebird. “That is actually the fourth time I’ve ran that this year,” Venters said. “It felt good to get that again, three times. Hopefully I’ll get there next week at the the Festival of Miles in St. Louis, Missouri.” Caylee Irving added a seventh-place finish in the discus with a throw of 111 feet, 2 inches to help Free State place sixth in the team standings with 34 points.

Funk left the game with the Lancers ahead, 2-1. From that point on, senior hurlers Trevor Munsch and Hunter Gudde held SME in check for more than five innings. Munsch (winning pitcher in a 2-0 semifinal defeat of topseeded Blue Valley) finished the third, fourth and fifth frames, allowing no hits and no earned runs. Gudde (saving closer versus BVHS) entered in the middle of the sixth to finish, struck out three batters, gave up just two hits and, like Munsch, allowed no earned runs.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Wainwright does it all for Cardinals The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 9, Nationals 4 Washington — Adam Wainwright pitched seven gritty innings and made an ample contribution at the plate, hitting a two-run double to help St. Louis defeat Washington on Saturday night. Matt Holliday homered for the Cardinals, who took control with a fourrun second inning highlighted by Wainwright’s fifth extra-base hit of the season. With two on, two outs and a run in, Wainwright lined the first pitch from Gio Gonzalez (3-3) into the left-center gap. Matt Carpenter, activated from the paternity list before the game, followed with an RBI double for a 4-0 lead. That started Wainwright (5-3) on a path to his fifth straight win. The right-hander allowed four runs and six hits — including a careerrecord tying three home runs. He struck out five and walked none.

But Justin Smoak singled on a line drive to center, and with Ezequiel Carrera pinch running for Smoak, Martin drove in his third run of the day on a double to tie the game.

KANSAS CITY’S BRETT EIBNER, RIGHT, CELEBRATES with Lorenzo Cain, center, and Whit Merrifield after hitting the game-winning single in the ninth inning against Chicago. The Royals rallied for seven runs in the ninth and defeated the White Sox, 8-7, on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Huge ninth sends Royals past ChiSox Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Brett Eibner wondered whether anything could surpass the Kansas City Royals’ rally Friday night, when they overcome a four-run deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox in his major-league debut. He did not have to wait long to find out. Eibner singled to cap the biggest ninth-inning comeback in Royals history, a seven-run rally off David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle that lifted the World Series champions over the Chicago White Sox, 8-7, on Saturday. “I didn’t think I could beat yesterday and, sure enough, we come around and do this,” said Eibner, who also doubled to helped spark the inning. “It’s super fun. There’s nothing like it. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that.” Kansas City’s Salvador Perez was injured in the ninth when third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert slid with a forearm and elbow into the left thigh of the All-Star catcher, who called off ChienMing Wang (3-0), settled under Adam Eaton’s foul popup about 30 feet from the plate near the thirdbase line and snagged the ball just before he was hit. Perez was taken for a MRI after the game and the extent of his injury was not announced. The preliminary diagnosis was a bruised left thigh. “Now it’s a waiting game,” Eric Hosmer said. “We won the game today, but that will be the more important win if we find out nothing serious with him happened. Salvy is our guy. He’s the leader of this team. He’s an AllStar. He’s everything. When you see a guy like that goes down, it fires you up. You want to pick up the pace cause you’ve got to pick him up.” Perez immediately raised his right arm, signaling for assistance. Two minutes later, Perez hobbled off the field with his arms draped over the shoulders of manager Ned Yost and head athletic trainer Nick Kenney. “The good thing about it, at least as far as we could tell, there was no structural damage to his knee,” Yost said. “So, that was what I was worried about. He sustained a pretty good quad contusion. Cheslor suffered a mild quad contusion, when they hit.” Held to six hits through eight innings, the Royals doubled their total in the 32-minute bottom of the ninth and overcame a six-run deficit for the first time since beating San Francisco on June 22, 2008. The inning included four walks, two of them intentional, and four runs scored with two outs. “There’s no shot clock, there’s no time clock,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said after

Chicago lost for the 13th time in 17 games. “If you can’t close it out, that’s what happens. Today we couldn’t close it out.” Eibner had the second and third hits of his big league career. The designated hitter drove in the game-ending run with a full-count single on the 10th pitch of his at-bat against Kahnle (0-1). Eibner grounded a 98 mph fastball on the low, outside corner to the right of a diving Jose Abreu at first, and Drew Butera, who had replaced Perez, raised an arm in triumph as he crossed the plate. Robertson relieved with a 7-1 lead in a nonsave situation and threw a called third strike past Paulo Orlando before Cuthbert singled and Eibner doubled on a fly that dropped behind right fielder Adam Eaton, who lost the ball in the sun. A walk to Omar Infante loaded the bases, and Robertson forced in a run when he walked Alcides Escobar after getting ahead 1-2 in the count. Whit Merrifield, who made his big league debut May 18, hit a hard grounder up the middle that deflected off Robertson’s glove and into right field for a single as two runs scored, cutting the deficit to 7-4. Lorenzo Cain hit into a run-scoring forceout to shortstop, easily beating second baseman Brett Lawrie’s relay to first to avoid what would have been a game-ending double play. Eric Hosmer followed with an RBI double to deep right-center, pulling Royals within a run. Kahnle relieved Robertson, who threw 29 pitches, and Butera doubled on his third offering, driving the ball on one hop to the left-field wall.

Cooper wins NCAA West By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s Mitch Cooper certainly solidified his status as one of the best discus throwers in the NCAA during the month of May. Cooper, a 6-foot-5 junior from Burpengary, Queensland, Australia, followed his May 13 victory at the Big 12 championships with a first-place finish at the NCAA West preliminaries Saturday morning at Rock Chalk Park. Cooper’s heave of 1950, which came on his third and final attempt (athletes have just three throws at regionals instead of the usual six) bettered his winning mark of 192-0 at league. “At regional, it’s really important just to punch a ticket. Top 12 is the goal,” said Cooper, who will be joined at NCAAs (June 8-11, Eugene, Ore.) by teammate Nicolai Ceban, who placed fourth in 1929. “The most important thing wasn’t the distance. I had two bad throws before that (195). I had only one throw to kind of salvage it. I wasn’t quite feeling it the first two, but came through,” Cooper added. It’s quite important to Cooper — who barely missed qualifying for the finals at NCAA a year ago — to continue his steady ascent in the sport. He entered regional as the NCAA’s third-ranked discus thrower and threw to that standard. Cooper entered the Big 12 meet as the conference’s top entrant and left the same way. “Big 12 … that was a tough week. It was finals week, a bit stressful with schoolwork,” Cooper said. “I had to get all that done first. Then we finally got to compete. I think for the meet, on that day it was relief. I went in ranked No. 1. Whenever you are ranked No. 1, it’s not tough, but there is expectation. It meant a lot. It was my first real hardware in my collegiate career. It was nice. I kind of proved myself finally. I lived up to my expectations.” He’s willing to put in his time with the intent to make a splash internationally at some point. Cooper is just 2.5 meters shy of Australia’s Olympic discus qualifying mark. Trying to make the Games is not keeping him awake at night. “It’s not impossible,” Cooper said of qualifying for the 2016 Games. “The plan when I came to college … I was trying to use college as a stepping

That’s my dream. I have the potential to keep going. “My future goals … I have the 2018 Commonwealth Games. They are back on the Gold Coast. That’s the real goal. The 2019 World Championships, 2020 Olympics. This year I’m close to the Olympic goal. I am not stressed about it and not thinking about it. “I’ve improved this year. It’s a dream. I’d love to do it. (But) I’m going to focus on throwing at nationals. That’s my goal. It’s my junior year now. I’m really excited for next year.” Cooper is ecstatic KU’s men’s team placed second at Big 12 Outdoor, the school’s best finish at league since 1983. “I think we have a great shot at winning the Big 12 next year. I think that will be our goal,” Cooper said. “We have a lot of returning athletes, a lot of sophomores, juniors who will

take that experience (at league and regional) and build on that.” Cooper, who came to KU from Australia to work with KU throws coach Andy Kokhanovsky — “he understands the athlete, understands the body, doesn’t push you too hard but gets the best out of you,” Cooper explained — said someday he’d perhaps like to be a teacher for a living back home in Australia. He also might ultimately play another sport, once he accomplishes all he can in discus. “I love sport in general and teaching kids,” he said. “If I said, ‘passion’ I’d probably say rugby. I grew up playing rugby. I played since I was 4. That’s been part of me. Track is definitely where I’m going now. I did train with the club team (at KU) a few times. I couldn’t afford to play. I just couldn’t get injured. They are very good guys and I love the sport.”

FILM REVIEWS

Dating gets serious in surreal ‘Lobster’

By Michael Phillips

Associated Press

long way from Tinder, the entrancingly strange black comedy “The Lobster” imagines single life not as an array of swipe-right options, but rather as a quest for a mate for life on a serious deadline, to prevent being turned into a member of a nonhuman species. Allow me to explain. In the world of “The Lobster,” singlehood is illegal. The unmarried have 45 days to find a mate on the grounds of a large, beige hotel, or else become transformed into the animal of their choice and fend for themselves in the nearby woods. As with nearly everything filling in the contours of co-writer and director Yorgos Lanthimos’ first Englishlanguage feature — he has made four films in his native Greece — this insane dystopian premise is tapped into place at the outset, and you believe it. Best known in the

COLIN FARRELL PLAYS DAVID, a single man who is forced to find a mate within 45 days, in “The Lobster.” U.S. for his Oscar-nominated “Dogtooth,” Lanthimos has long asserted himself as a master of tone management. As a stage director and a filmmaker, he’s steeped in not just deadpan absurdism, but the general, perplexing absurdity of love and family in the realm of totalitarian excess. At the hotel check-in coun-

ter, we meet David, played with perfect, dodgy timidity by Colin Farrell. The man has arrived at the hotel accompanied by Bob, a dog, formerly his brother. David’s politely grilled by the desk clerk. Gay or straight? A pause. David wonders if there’s a bisexual option. No, he’s told. “This option is no longer available,”

due to various “operational problems.” We come to learn the rules and regulations of this place along with David, and his fellow singles played by Ben Whishaw and John C. Reilly. David informs the management that he’s chosen the lobster as his next incarnation. Thick of neck and droopy of mustache, David is a man who may have been born beaten down, or may have been beaten down by whatever world this world has become. But change is possible; once he meets his match, a similarly shortsighted woman played by Rachel Weisz, who also narrates the film, this empty vessel finds meaning and purpose

and something like love. Lest I make “The Lobster” sound conventionally upbeat and life-affirming, it should be noted that Lanthimos’ eccentric marvel of a film is all of a piece with its maker’s earlier work. The performance style is one of vaguely robotic minimalism, as if the characters had learned a common language phonetically, without quite grasping the meaning or the feeling of what they say. There are short, sharp shocks of heinous violence, as when Reilly’s character is nailed for a transgression and subjected to brief but painful torture involving his hand and a hot toaster. Seeing it a second time, I wasn’t sure if the increasingly narrow focus of Lanthimos’ dark fairy tale worked, entirely. I’m still not sure. Yet everything within the film connects to neighboring elements, performance to performance to cryptic absurdity to surprisingly heartfelt acknowledgment of the power of love. Whether things work out or not.

Austen-inspired ‘Love & Friendship’ is pure pleasure By Moira MacDonald Associated Press

Lady Susan Vernon, the dubious heroine of Jane Austen’s 1790s-era novella “Lady Susan,” is a very accomplished flirt: the sort, an acquaintance notes, who “does not confine herself to that sort of honest flirtation which satisfies most people, but aspires to the more delicious gratification of making a whole family miserable.” She is, in short, someone who would be

thoroughly annoying in real life, but quite delightful in fiction — and, in Whit Stillman’s sparkling comedy “Love & Friendship,” on screen. As played by a splendidly hatted Kate Beckinsale, Susan is a velvetvoiced, prettily smiling schemer; a young widow seeking well-positioned husbands for herself and her daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) while depending on the hospitality of others. As the film begins, she is prepar-

ing to descend upon the country estate of her late husband’s brother. Chaos, in that wonderfully orderly Austen way, ensues. “Lady Susan,” a brief early work unpublished during Austen’s lifetime, is told almost entirely through letters, and Stillman appropriately borrows that convention — I can’t think when I last saw a movie with so much handwriting in it, both in props and on the screen. While you wish there were a little more to it, and that the wonderful

Maciuba experienced a similar phenomenon during her time as a graduate student at the University of Iowa, where the Buffalo, N.Y., native first fell in love with the Midwest. By the time she arrived in Iowa City, four years had passed since the devastating 2008 flood that damaged nearly 800 homes and 260 businesses throughout the city and the encompassing county. But the University of Iowa’s arts campus was still in recovery mode, and Maciuba, along with her fellow students and faculty, were forced to carry on in temporary classrooms while campus facilities were being rebuilt. In Iowa, she found a landscape that was “very beautiful but also very manmade and regimented” as a result of commercialized farming. “Being in the Midwest and being in this environment that has been regimented by humans so much brought this questioning of it forward in my work,” Maciuba says. “My work has always been a representation of where I’m living, because I create work about what I know.” Maciuba’s travels to the Baker Wetlands, as well as the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve and the Konza Prairie preserve in the Flint Hills, are the basis for much of “Impermanent Lines.” Many of those lines can be seen in “Put Your Best Foot Forward and Take Two Steps Back,” a 47-foot-long installation comprising 242 rectangular prints stretched out along the gallery wall. “A lot of the images in the prints are things we use as fences,” Maciuba explains, rattling off the historical consequences of the arrival of barbed wire and railroads on the

AMANDA MACIBUA’S “PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AND TAKE TWO STEPS BACK” INSTALLATION is one of three largescale pieces on display in her “Impermanent Lines” exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Midwestern landscape, for example. “Things like construction fences and irrigation fences and how these pieces of equipment can physically change how water behaves on the landscape.” And then there’s the prairie, too, with its long grasses and rich soil and roaming bison. “It can come back,” she says. Tallgrass prairie once covered 170 million acres of North America, according to the National Park Service, before the vast majority of it was developed and plowed within a single generation. Today, less than 4 percent of that ecosystem remains, most of it in the nearby Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. The National Park Service uses the phrase “Here the tallgrass prairie takes its last stand” as a sort of tagline for the preserve, which Maciuba finds incredibly poignant. “It’s the amazement of this beautiful landform that was here, but then when you think about it in the bigger picture, it’s also sad,” she says. “It’s a mourning of what was once there and also a celebration of what’s left.” In “Impermanent Lines,” she raises some challenging questions: Why did it take us so long — in this case, until 1996, when the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve was

founded — to realize that these places are worth saving? And can preserving these small pockets of a once-vast landscape actually save these places for future generations? Is artificial preservation better than nothing at all? Maciuba doesn’t have the answers, but she hopes her work will provoke thought in others. Overall, her show is a “positive” one, she says. In the meantime, she’ll return to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve for a short residency — the park’s first for artists, she says — immediately after hers ends at the Lawrence Arts Center. For Maciuba, whose work is inextricably tied to place, home is the Midwest now. She’d like to stay in the Kansas City area, hopefully with a teaching job. “Being in a place where you can see the results of what you’re doing, or where it’s not necessary that you know everyone but (more so) that I have this idea and I can see a way to make it happen — it’s like things are not insurmountable here,” she says. “You can make what you want to happen, happen.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld.com and 832-6388.

Renters should be expected to clean up after eating Dear Annie: I rent bedrooms in my home to a couple of young adults in their 20s. Everything is fine about this arrangement, except my renters do not clean their rooms. They throw all of their things on the floor, including dirty dishes, and the mess collects for weeks. They do keep their doors closed, so I don’t have to see it every time I pass by, but just knowing that their rooms are such a mess bothers me a great deal. Would it be out of line for me to ask them to keep their rooms cleaned, or is it none of my business since they are renters? Am I overstepping my boundaries? My friends know I’m a bit OCD about things like this. — M. Dear M.: What they do with their clothes or bedding is their respon-

Beach Boys at Memorial Day Concert Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna host the 27th broadcast of the National Memorial Day Concert (7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings). Talent and presenters include Renee Fleming, The Beach Boys and Trent Harmon and Katharine McPhee of “American Idol” fame. Jack Everly will conduct the National Symphony Orchestra. The Beach Boys have been around long enough to go in and out of style more than once. W h i l e it’s not entirely clear why a group associated with a philosophy of “fun, fun, fun” is playing on a solemn day, the ever-touring band has branded itself as American as apple pie, hot dogs, a day at the beach, you name it. While some musical acts from the 1960s were associated with the social and cultural tumult of the era, The Beach Boys always seemed about as edgy as “Little Surfer Girl.” Their band’s reputation has endured in spite of Brian Wilson’s many emotional and psychological issues and Dennis Wilson’s selfdestructive tendencies, which included a curious relationship with Charles Manson and his homicidal cult. The Beach Boys’ biggest brush with public controversy may have revived the group’s career. Scheduled to play an annual Independence Day event at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1983, the group was banned by Interior Secretary James Watt, who decided that “rock bands” brought “the wrong element” to such festivities. Watt had The Beach Boys replaced with Wayne Newton! Watt faced endless grief for his decision, particularly when it was announced that his boss, President Ronald Reagan, and first lady Nancy Reagan were fans of The Beach Boys. Dennis Wilson died in 1983, Carl Wilson in 1998. Brian Wilson has drifted in and out of association with the band and will not be part of the Memorial Day performance. Mike Love, an original band member, will appear, along with Bruce Johnston, who joined the band in 1965. The Beach Boys’ “Endless Summer” of “Surfin’ Safari” has been in progress since 1961. For the record, Wayne Newton will be performing Sunday night as well. At a casino in Las Vegas. Tonight’s other highlights O IndyCar racing in the 100th annual Indianapolis 500 (11 a.m., ABC). O Five competitors emerge on “American Ninja Warrior” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). O Jaime takes on the High Sparrow on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

food-related garbage in the proper place. Dear Annie: I am ‘’Louisville Uncle.’’ I wrote to you several years ago concerning my then-13-year-old nephew, ‘’Hayden,’’ and the attempt he made to seduce me during a sleepover. I thought your readers might be interested in an update. Hayden is now 20 years old and thriving in college. He is in a relationship with a male student that he met on campus. They are engaged and plan to marry after graduation. Everything is great, but it took a while to get to this point. The hardest part was separating Hayden from the ‘’relationship’’ he was in with the older neighbor boy. This boy seduced my nephew the same way Hayden tried to seduce me. Ap-

parently, this neighbor often forced himself on Hayden and convinced him that this was normal. Through many prayers and discussions, I was able to show Hayden that any sexual activity without mutual consent is an assault and always wrong. At the age of 14, and on his own initiative, Hayden finally ended the relationship with the neighbor boy. I did not break my promise not to tell Hayden’s mother about that sleepover, but together, we told Hayden’s mother that he is gay. She was accepting and supportive. I am happy to report that Hayden and I are still close. — Louisville Uncle

8 eclectic page-turners to take you new places this summer

“Magruder’s Curiosity Cabinet” by H.P. Wood Equal parts “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” and “Geek Love,” “Magruder’s Curiosity Cabinet” tells the story of Kitty, a young girl whose mother mysteriously vanishes during their trip to Coney Island in 1904. Finding herself alone, Kitty stumbles upon Magruder’s Curiosity Cabinet — a sideshow of human oddities who agree to help her locate her missing mother. It has plenty of humor, intrigue and an eccentric, Lovecraftian creepiness that lingers underneath this fascinating world.

“The Invisible Library” by Genevieve Cogman Set in a hidden library connected to multiple parallel universes, “The Invisible Library” follows Irene, an immortal librarian sent on a quest to Victorian England to retrieve a rare manuscript while accompanied by her trainee Kai.

BOOK REVIEW

Wit, irony rule in ‘Welcome Thieves’

By Blanca Torres Associated Press

“Comedy Hour,” one of the 12 short stories in Seattle author Sean Beaudoin’s story collection “Welcome Thieves,” begins with this confession: “I am the point guard, best player, and team captain. “Which means we suck.” That opener gives a taste of what readers can expect from “Welcome Thieves”: biting wit, introspective characters and irony by the handful. Beaudoin has published five young-adult novels. This collection is his first offering of fiction for adults. His latest book showcases his deep imagination, which spills onto the page in the form of quirky characters and eccentric and at times disturbing story lines. A common theme in “Welcome Thieves” is destruction — of property, of relationships, of opportunities, of the self. Beaudoin’s stories feature characters who feel broken or lost, but show some promise. Rarely do they fulfill that promise, but the reader is invited to watch them navigate through their complicated, gritty lives. In “Comedy Hour,” the unnamed narrator is a high-school senior who plays on the school’s hopeless basketball team until an exotic, Eastern European-

plenty of captivating, horrorinfused weirdness.

esque transfer student shows up and becomes a star. Soon after, the team of losers experiences the glory of a winning season — at least temporarily. The narrator hints that he’s ready to bust from his smalltown seams. Instead, he self-sabotages his future. In the title story, the reader meets Adam, who falls in love with a girl named Eve while simultaneously falling out of favor with a dangerous vendor of contraband goods. While it’s clear that Adam has smarts, it’s unclear how he could screw up badly enough to land on a hit list. The plot involves Adam trying to nourish his blossoming romance while avoiding the consequences of a deal gone wrong. This is the type of predicament Beaudoin uses to keep the reader both intrigued and appalled by his stories. Beaudoin clearly possesses talent and a distinctive writing style and voice. That alone makes his collection worth a read.

gan harbor town is drawn to a beautiful and mysterious woman new to town, who isn’t all she seems.

“In The Country We Love: My Family Divided” by Diane Guerrero Known for her roles as Maritza Ramos on “Orange is the New Black” and Lina on “Jane the Virgin,” actress and activist Diane Guerrero has channeled her talent towards writing in this emotional memoir of her experiences as the child of undocumented immigrants. Guerrero’s biggest fear became a reality at the young age of 14, when her parents were deported while she was in school. Guerrero’s own struggles foster a sense of humanity with the issues surrounding immigration. This is a truly memorable read. “If I Was Your Girl” by Meredith Russo When new girl Amanda Hardy meets Grant, Amanda

can’t help but like him as they spend more and more time together. However, as much as she wants to open up to him, Amanda is afraid to share all of her secrets — like how at her former school, she was known as Andrew. “If I Was Your Girl” is a contemporary youngadult novel about being true to yourself and finding acceptance, with a love story anyone can root for.

“A Front Page Affair” by Radha Vatsal In 1915 New York just after the sinking of the Lusitania, journalist Kitty Weeks would love nothing more than to report on stories other than fashion and society gossip. However, her roles as a female journalist are limited ... that is, until a man is murdered at a high society picnic on her beat! Determined to show what type of reporting she can really do, Kitty is thrown into a wartime conspiracy that threatens the stability of her country as well as her own privileged life. — Fisher Adwell and Kimberly Lopez are Readers Services Assistants at the Lawrence Public Library.
