Dog killed amid trio of armed robberies

CITY AT INCENTIVE CROSSROADS

——

Suspects remained at large Monday

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Two dark red patches of blood, laden with flies stain the front lawn of one house in the 1500 block of West 27th Street.

Early Monday morning Nicole Allensworth, a resident of the home, heard a dog barking followed by a gunshot.

“Then I heard a bunch of dogs barking and a car driving off,” she said.

Allensworth said she immediately called 911.

“I just wanted them to get here as soon as possible. I didn’t know if it was a person down or what,” she said. “I opened my door and police were already here.”

Three times on Monday morning, three armed men approached different victims at three locations in southwest Lawrence and stole from them, said Lawrence Police Capt.

Anthony Brixius. The man robbed near Allensworth’s house was with his dog, who was shot and killed as part of the robbery. The suspects remained at large as of late Monday.

Ex-commissioner seeks tax breaks for development

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Several Lawrence groups — one dedicated to economic development, one to public incentives and another to affordable housing — are refining their thoughts on potential changes to the city’s policies that govern financial incentives.

It will be August before their input goes to the City Commission. But commissioners will be faced Tuesday with the first request for tax breaks initiated since they started on the path in January to alter public subsidies.

Commissioners will first be asked whether they want

According to Schumm’s application for incentives, annual property taxes on the property are currently $5,977. The County Appraiser estimated the taxes would range from $116,295 to $185,793 once the building was complete, Schumm said in the application.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $8.8 million.

In addition to a tax rebate, Schumm is asking for $7.7 million in industrial revenue bonds, which would exempt him from paying sales tax on construction materials.

Court upholds conviction in theft, sale of KU rings

Board members air concerns about policy changes

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

To some members of the Lawrence Joint Economic Development Council, proposed changes to policies governing financial incentives are seen as “limitations” hampering the city’s ability to draw businesses.

The JEDC was one of two city boards to weigh in Monday on the potential policy changes initiated by the City Commission. The additions include raising application fees for incentives, as well as require

more analysis and setting a maximum for tax rebates.

The Affordable Housing Advisory Board on Monday looked specifically at a provision to require residential developments receiving incentives to set aside units for low-income households.

After discussion, the JEDC decided to meet again and vote on their final recommendations to the City Commission. The AHAB voted Monday on three suggestions to commissioners. The City Commission is likely to receive

against any addition of policy that might make us less competitive relative to another community.”

Bonnie Lowe, Lawrence chamber of commerce chief operating officer, said she was “thinking about the deals that we would lose.”

“I think the fact that we’re looking at this information as a community is already a red flag to site selectors,” Lowe said.

The council concluded the policies should include flexibility in order to recruit job creators such as manufacturing and research businesses to Lawrence.

Mayor Mike Amyx issued that caveat in January, when commissioners met about the changes. At the time, Amyx said he was concerned about applying a cap on tax abatements — proposed at 50 percent over 10 years — to manufacturing developments.

City Manager Tom Markus, who was present at Monday’s meeting, agreed the policies should accommodate those types of businesses.

“Jobs are so important to our community that flexibility has to be a key indicator in doing this,” Markus said. “To me, I’m pretty aggressive about trying to bring manufacturing and good jobs. That’s a priority for our community.”

But Markus stood firm on the need for more analysis on whether developers really need incentives to carry out their projects.

The proposed policies call for “but-for” analyses to be performed before deciding whether to award various incentives, including transportation development districts and community improvement districts. The analysis is already required for tax increment financing.

Cal Karlin, chair of the Chamber’s board, said businesses knew better than the city whether they

incentives for a project unless it meets one of two goals: creating primary jobs or providing affordable housing.

“The project needs to show a clear public good,” Soden said. “With what I’ve seen so far, I don’t plan on voting for it because it’s lacking one of those two main things.

“Whether it’s written in policy or not, that’s what I campaigned on.

I’m continuing that philosophy.”

Schumm attended a meeting of the Joint Economic Development Council on Monday, at which members gave feedback on the changes to incentives policies.

He raised concerns to the council on both the affordable housing mandate and requiring a “butfor” analysis for industrial revenue bonds.

The benefit of industrial revenue bonds to developers would not be “worth all the hoop-jumping” of going through a but-for analysis, Schumm said. Bill Fleming, an attorney with the development group led by Mike Treanor and Doug Compton, has previously voiced the same concern. Fleming noted an analysis would likely determine the project could be done without the bonds because their financial benefit is “not significant.”

City Manager Tom Markus responded that the proposed change to industrial revenue bonds might need to be altered.

“There’s an argument there was not enough gain to pursue IRBs with the fee setup the city was suggesting,” Markus said.

“There’s probably some merit to that argument.”

About the affordable housing requirement, Schumm suggested the length of time units are required to be affordable should end when the term for public incentives ends. The current proposal calls for units to remain affordable for at least 15 years.

“There ought to be some thought in trying to balance the term of the incentive with the requirement for giving back to the community,” Schumm said. “It’s mismatched, and there’s not a revenue stream for your expense. People may say, ‘It’s not going to work.

I’m not going to do it.’”

Markus agreed with Schumm, saying public demand on a project created an expense that needed to be met with incentives.

“Setting numbers, length of term, percentage — that starts to really control what kind of public purpose you can achieve,” Markus said.

“That’s why we do a financial analysis, to find

with Blake Hurd’s father, Timothy Hurd, facility supervisor for the Kansas University Athletics Department.

As an employee of the department, Timothy Hurd had received championship rings commemorating the Jayhawks’ 2008 Orange Bowl victory and their 2008 NCAA men’s basketball championship, which he kept in a dresser drawer in his locked bedroom.

At one point, Blake Hurd broke into the bedroom, removed the rings, and showed them to his wife. He later testified that he broke into the room looking for a pack of cigarettes. The couple then agreed to sell the rings for methamphetamine.

They drove to a shopping mall in Overland Park where they met another person, Ian Wolverton, and sold him the football ring for 3.5 grams of methamphetamine. A few days later, they sold him the basketball ring for 7 grams of methamphetamine.

Incentive CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Changes to incentives The potential changes to Lawrence’s policies on economic development incentives are not yet final. But one of them — proposed in January

by Commissioner Matthew Herbert — is to set a 10-year, 50 percent cap on tax rebates, which Schumm’s request goes beyond.

Another change is to require a “but-for” analysis for industrial revenue bonds.

The analysis, which comes at a cost to the developer, determines whether there’s a financial need for the incentive.

There’s also a proposed affordable housing mandate that Schumm’s development would trigger if it were already policy.

As the proposed mandate is currently written, a residential development containing between four and 49 units and receiving incentives must set aside 10 percent of units as affordable. Schumm’s proposal includes 11 condominiums, one of which he plans to keep for himself.

No matter if the new policies are applied to the development, Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said she won’t vote to approve

The theft came to light on Jan. 31, 2014, when someone contacted Timothy Hurd, saying he had been asked to buy the rings, which had Hurd’s name engraved on them, but wanted to know first whether they had been reported stolen.

Mandy Hurd was convicted of misdemeanor theft and was sentenced to 12 months of probation. Douglas County District Court records do not show that Blake Hurd was charged in connection with the theft.

On appeal, Mandy Hurd argued there was insufficient evidence to show that she knew the rings were stolen at the time she sold them. She also argued that certain evidence should not have been admitted at the trial.

But in an unpublished opinion released Friday, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals rejected those arguments, saying there was ample evidence to show she knew the rings were stolen and that she was the one who sold the rings in exchange for drugs.

were in need of incentives.

“Why do we get to be the puppet master?” Karlin asked. “Do we run off a really good company?”

In response, Markus said: “I don’t think we’re smarter than the industry we’re dealing with. But what you’re really asking is about an incentive, which is our business. We use this methodology to determine and protect the public’s investment to make sure we’re getting something worthy of investment. That’s what it’s about.”

JEDC members also took issue with part of the affordable housing requirement. Under that provision, a minimum 35 percent of units would have to be dedicated as affordable in incentivized residential developments with 50 or more total units. For developments with four to 49 units, 10 percent must be set aside as affordable.

Chamber CEO Larry McElwain said he would agree with “a low number.”

“That’s what I’m thinking,” he said. “Not 35 at all.”

Markus conceded 35 percent “seems pretty aggressive.”

Affordable housing board The Affordable Housing Advisory Board also thought 35 percent was high. Members suggested it be lowered; however, the board also wanted to extend the duration units were required to be affordable. As is, the provision sets a 15-year minimum.

One of the suggestions the AHAB voted Monday to send to commissioners was to require 15 percent of units be affordable in developments with 50 or more units, but to require them to be affordable for at least 30 years.

“I love the 35 percent, of course,” said member Rebecca Buford, director of Tenants to Homeowners.

“But we understand compromise and reasonableness, and in an attempt to show we’re reasonable, 35 percent should be the absolute high end. out what the gap is.”

Schumm’s current plans do not set aside any units as affordable. He told the Journal-World in May he would try to meet the requirement if it were placed on his project, but he would likely need a greater incentive to do so.

Backup plan Schumm has said the incentives he’s requesting would offset the cost of adding 22 underground parking spaces.

A quote from Lawrencebased B.A. Green Construction estimates the underground parking at $1,138,020, or $51,728 per space.

If the incentives were rejected, Schumm could alter the project to complete it without them, he has said, but the development would not include parking. He would also change the condominiums to apartments.

Downtown housing developments do not have to include off-street parking, according to city code, though there’s a known demand for it.

Lot history Schumm and his wife, Sandra, bought the north section of the property at 815 Vermont St. in the 1980s with the intent of restoring it, according to his application. It was the original site of the Lawrence House Hotel and

L awrence J ournal -W orld “I talked to developers who know the crisis we’re in and have said we can all be part of that solution, but that 35 percent scares the bejesus out of them.”

Shannon Oury, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority, said lengthening the requirement would ease her worries about loss of affordable housing stock.

“I think 15 years is short. Thirty years is better. Forever is great. It’s best,” Oury said.

The board also recommended that once tax rebates expire, a portion of the new tax revenue to the city be put into Lawrence’s affordable housing trust fund. The tax rebates are established through tax increment financing and the neighborhood revitalization act. Current TIF districts in Lawrence are at 1200 Oread Ave. and Ninth and New Hampshire streets. Lawrence has three developments receiving NRA rebates and four more that have been authorized.

Lastly, the board is suggesting residential developers receive more incentives for partnering with local nonprofit housing agencies to administer the affordable units.

John Harvey, director of resource development with the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, said it would “promote partnerships.”

“It may force developers to work together who don’t usually want to work together,” Buford said.

“Once they do, it won’t be as scary. Initially, they may have to be pushed.”

The board voted 9-1 to send the recommendations to the City Commission. Tim Stultz, a member of the Lawrence Home Builders Association, voted against them. He wanted money for affordable housing initiatives to come from Lawrence’s budget, rather than be placed on developers or market-rate tenants or homeowners, he said.

Judge orders property owners to clean up

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

The owner of an 1890 schoolhouse who code inspectors say is operating an illegal junkyard has 30 days to clean up the property, according to a default judgment issued Friday.

Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff also ordered the owner, Linda Fritz, and the tenants, who are Fritz’s daughter and son-in-law, to “immediately cease and refrain from collecting, placing, and storing any additional junk or salvage materials” on the property.

Huff issued the default judgment and permanent injunction order after Fritz and her family failed

to respond to a petition filed on April 29 by the Douglas County Commission that asked the court to order Fritz to stop the illegal operation and to clean up the eyesore.

The county has received dozens of complaints by neighbors and passersby.

And codes inspectors have detailed the problem since late last summer.

Fritz does not live at the house at 1055 East 1500 Road but rents the property to her daughter Ann Speicher and son-inlaw David Sharon.

By law, the owner of the property is ultimately solely responsible.

Fritz has told county officials and the JournalWorld that she has been

unable to make the tenants stop trashing the property after having asked numerous times.

On Monday, Fritz told the Journal-World she was unaware of the judgment but she said she talked to her daughter that morning on the telephone, imploring her to clean it up.

“I gave her a deadline to clean it up,” she said. “I will get hold of them and tell them what is going on.”

Sean Reid, director of zoning and codes, has been monitoring the property on a weekly basis and responding to neighbors’ questions, said Sarah Plinsky, assistant county administrator.

“We are not seeing a lot of progress,” Plinsky

said. “(Fritz) is frustrated, but obviously the property is still significantly out of compliance.”

If Fritz and her family fail to comply with the court order within 30 days, Huff wrote that the county can request the court to find the defendants in contempt of court. If such an order is granted, the county will be authorized to move ahead with the cleanup, “abate the violations” and recover reasonable costs, Huff wrote.

The judgment also authorized the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to enforce the terms of the order.

Having survived a near-death experience, the County Fair Swim Club will be a summer destination for eastern Lawrence children for another summer.

“It has more lives than a cat,” Missi Pfeifer said of the neighborhood pool at 2119 Maple Lane. “It’s had 55 lives.”

Pfeifer said an anonymous benefactor came to the pool’s rescue with a $10,000 donation after reading a May 25 story in the Journal-World

announcing the pool would not open this summer for the first time in more than five decades.

Volunteers are now preparing the pool for a June 18 opening.

“It was amazing,” she said. “He doesn’t want his name revealed. He said, ‘Some of my best memories are of jumping in a clean pool as a kid on the first day of the season. I want your neighborhood children to have the same memories.’”

Board of ed member: Transgender issues less urgent now Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A member of the Kansas State Board of Education said Monday that he thinks it’s no longer urgent for the board to make a statement or take action on new federal guidelines for dealing with transgender students in public schools.

But Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican, said he does want the State Department of Education to issue some sort of guidance on the issue for local school districts.

The state board is expected to resume a

The robberies took place between 4:55 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., Brixius said.

The chronological order of the robberies was not immediately clear Monday, and Brixius said he could not clarify a timeline.

A shotgun was used during each of the three robberies, Brixius said.

One robbery took place southeast of Hy-Vee at 3504 Clinton Parkway, Brixius said. There, a man was approached by three armed men.

A second robbery took place near the Holcom Sports Complex at 2700 W. 27th St., Brixius said.

Another man was approached by three armed men who demanded his property.

And a third robbery took place in the 1500 block of West 27th Street, Brixius said. A man was out walking his dog when the suspects approached him, displayed the shotgun and shot the dog to death.

“We’re going to have a family night once we open,” she said. “I’ve invited him, and he said he’d be happy to come.”

The pool was originally built in 1961 by the developers of the neighborhood and was supported through an annual assessment on the homes of residents, who had exclusive access to the facility. That arrangement stopped paying the annual bills when the neighborhood changed

“There are going to be questions that come up, without any doubt,” Willard said. “Ultimately, it’s a local issue, and I think it ought to be handled locally.”

Willard initially called for the state board to respond during its regular meeting in May, which came only a few days after the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education issued guidelines, directing all public schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms and to Sam Springer, who lives across the street from Allensworth, said her 24-year-old daughter heard a loud noise early Monday morning but did not think anything of it and went back to sleep.

Later that morning Springer said her husband looked outside to see crime scene tape and police across the street.

Police then came by the house to let them know what happened.

Jamie Miller, who also lives across the street, said she didn’t hear anything in the morning hours but was surprised to learn of the robbery and the shooting.

Miller and Springer have lived in the area for years and said it’s common to see people walking up and down the sidewalks.

“It does cause an unease,” Springer said of the Monday morning events.

Miller said she plans to start taking care to lock up her property moving forward, while Springer said her family already makes sure to protect their belongings.

“We already lock our and many of the homes became rentals. When Pfeifer started managing the pool 15 years ago, she opened the pool to all, charging $2 for an all-day admission and $1 for those arriving after 5 p.m. She has been able to keep it open through annual fundraising efforts, which she said she found to be too much of a solo responsibility this year.

Willard called those guidelines “an infringement on states’ rights” and “a violation of the Kansas constitutional provision for local control of public schools.”

He also made a motion calling on the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback “to take whatever legal measures deemed necessary to protect and defend” the state from what he called “this unprecedented overreach of federal executive authority.”

On a 6-4 vote, however, the board chose to put off

any action until the June meeting.

Since then, though, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has announced that his office will join a multistate federal lawsuit filed in Texas challenging the new guidelines. And that same day, the Kansas Senate passed a resolution condemning the new guidelines and encouraging Schmidt to fight it in court.

Willard said Monday that those actions satisfy most of what he had been seeking, but he still thinks the state education agency should offer local districts some guidance.

Also at next week’s meeting, the board will be asked to give final approval to a sweeping overhaul of the way public schools in Kansas are accredited.

The new system calls for accrediting each individual building rather than school districts as a whole.

Those schools also will be reviewed on a fiveyear schedule rather than annually, and the reviews will encompass much

more than just how well students are performing on the state’s standardized English language arts and math tests.

The new accountability standards for schools are being called the “Five Rs”: “Relationships” among staff, students, families and communities; “Relevance” of the curriculum and instruction; the “Responsive culture” of the school system; “Rigor” of the academic standards; and the “Results” produced by the time students graduate.

BALDWIN CITY

Council OKs car show but condemns ‘pinup’ marketing

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Baldwin City — The Baldwin City Council narrowly approved a special event permit for an upcoming car show after sharply criticizing the organizer’s marketing efforts.

The vote will allow Johnson County-based Rusty Metal Productions to block off downtown streets for its June 18 car show. It will be the second year the promoters have organized the show in partnership with the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce.

What upset members of the council was Rusty Metal’s marketing of the show under the same Pistons N Pinups name they found objectionable a year ago. At that time, the chamber removed the pinup image from fliers advertising the event.

Councilwoman Kathy Gerstner conceded the

car show did bring a lot of visitors to Baldwin City and that the organizers did much of the work themselves without much local volunteer help. But she said it was disappointing that the council’s condemnation of what was viewed as sexist and inappropriate marketing material a year ago didn’t change the show’s promotion.

“The car show was great, but it needs another name,” she said. “It concerns me we’re sitting here a year later and seeing the same things. I don’t think we’re getting through to Rusty Metal Productions. Maybe they aren’t for us.”

Joining her in condemning the tone of the car show’s marketing and its pinup girl contest were council members Christi Darnell and Dave Simmons.

Simmons put aside his reservations to join Councilman Tony Brown in voting for the permit. Darnell

and Gerstner abstained, while Councilman Steve Bauer voted no.

In other action, the council: l Tabled a measure that would amend the council’s ordinance approval process. Currently, all ordinances must be approved by the council twice before they become effective. The proposal would replace the first reading of an ordinance with a council workshop on the issue. A vote would then be scheduled for the next meeting.

Although it was agreed that was the intent of the proposal, Simmons said the language would

allow for an ordinance to be shared with the council packets on Friday for a Monday vote. It was agreed the language would be tightened before the ordinance was considered again at the council’s June 20 meeting. l Approved an amendment to the city’s animal control ordinance that allows residents to have up to 20 chickens or ducks, but no roosters. l Approved a charter amendment moving the election of the mayor and city council members to November of oddnumbered years with those elected taking office the next January.

City schedule A new schedule for Lawrence City Commission meetings could have benefits as long as it provides enough opportunities for public input on city business.

R

educing the number of meetings the Lawrence City Commission has each month has some potential pitfalls, but it also has enough potential advantages to make it worth a try.

At the suggestion of City Manager Tom Markus, commissioners are scheduled to consider a new meeting schedule that would reduce its regular meetings from four each month to two. Those meetings would occur on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, with a regular work session scheduled on second Tuesdays.

Fourth Tuesdays would be available for special meetings if the commission found that necessary and the tradition of skipping a meeting in months with five Tuesdays would continue.

Having fewer meetings, Markus said, would give the city staff more time to work on various city priorities, as well as give commissioners an opportunity to learn about issues and get their questions answered. As envisioned by Markus, the second-Tuesday meetings would include action on consent agenda items followed by a work session that would include no formal action. The sessions would be open to the public but probably wouldn’t include an opportunity for public comment — unless there is some provision for comment on a consent agenda item.

Mayor Mike Amyx agreed that the regular work sessions would benefit commissioners by giving them a chance to talk to one another and “work out some details.” The schedule also would put Lawrence more in line with other similar communities whose commissioner meet two or three times a month.

As noted at the outset, there are a couple of potential pitfalls that commissioners will have to guard against. First, commissioners already have moved the start time of their meeting up to 5:45 p.m. to avoid late-night deliberations that tax commissioners and hamper public comment. If having just two regular meetings results in longer agendas and meetings, that would be a serious drawback.

Perhaps even more important is the need to preserve avenues for public input on issues. Members of the public will be able to monitor discussions at the work sessions, but it would be unfortunate if they feel that commissioners are using those sessions to informally set a direction on various issues before hearing public comment at a regular meeting.

Keeping that in mind, it’s good to try new things from time to time. Maybe the new schedule will better suit staff, commissioners and the public and lead to smoother city decision-making. If it doesn’t work out, the city can always go back to its current schedule or come up with another plan.

Endorsement will be costly for Ryan Washington — The Caligulan malice with which Donald Trump administered Paul Ryan’s degradation is an object lesson in the price of abject capitulation to power. This episode should be studied as a clinical case of a particular Washington myopia — the ability of career politicians to convince themselves that they and their agendas are of supreme importance.

The pornographic politics of Trump’s presidential campaign, which was preceded by decades of ignorant bile

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Ryan has now paid a staggering price by getting along with Trump. And what did Ryan purchase with the coin of his reputation? Perhaps his agenda.” (about Barack Obama’s birth certificate and much else), have not exhausted Trump’s eagerness to plumb new depths of destructiveness.

Herewith the remarkably brief timeline of the breaking of Ryan to Trump’s saddle.

On May 3, Trump won the Indiana primary, ending competition for the Republican nomination. On May 5, Ryan said he still was not prepared to endorse Trump. That day Trump responded that he was not ready to endorse Ryan’s agenda. This was not news, considering that Trump has campaigned against every significant element of this agenda — entitlement reform, the rule of law, revival of Congress as a counter to the executive overreach that Barack Obama has practiced and that Trump promises to enlarge upon.

On May 12, a Trump meeting with Ryan resulted in a cringeworthy joint statement that had to be read to be properly disbelieved. The two spoke about the “great conversation” they had about “our shared principles.” They celebrated their “many important areas of common ground” while offhandedly mentioning “our few differences.” Those who know, or thought they knew, Ryan doubted that he could name a single shared principle, and he did not do so.

In spite of, and in conspicuous dissonance with, the May 12 happy talk, Ryan continued to withhold his endorsement. Perhaps he hoped that Trump, at age 69, was going to mend his manners.

Instead, Trump dragged a personal problem, his coming trial on fraud charges associated with Trump University, into the presidential campaign. Having first done so in February, on May 27 he again attacked the “Mexican” judge (born in Indiana, 1,332 miles from Mexico) who will preside at the trial, asserting that the Hoosier Mexican was unfit to preside because his ethnic heritage would incline him against Trump, the wall-building scourge of Mexican rapists. On May 30, Trump again attacked the judge, again embracing the

identity politics that actually characterizes contemporary progressivism: An individual has, always and only, the interests and motivations of his race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.

By June 2, Ryan had heard enough. He endorsed Trump. He did so because President Trump would sign Ryan’s House “agenda.”

Well.

Since May 5, the Hamlet of southeastern Wisconsin had indeed learned something.

He had learned Trump’s contemptuous response to his scruples. Trump’s response was an insouciant intensification of his anti-institutional politics — the judicial system, too, is “rigged.” Ryan limply described Trump’s attack on the judge as thinking “out of left field” that he could not “relate to.”

All supposedly will be redeemed by the House agenda. So, assume, fancifully, that in 2017 this agenda emerges intact from a House not yet proved able to pass 12 appropriations bills. Assume, too, that Republicans still control the Senate and can persuade enough Democrats to push the House agenda over the 60-vote threshold. Now, for some really strenuous assuming: Assume that whatever semblance of the House

agenda that reaches President Trump’s desk is more important than keeping this impetuous, vicious, ignorant and anti-constitutional man from being at that desk.

Some say in extenuation of Ryan’s behavior that if he could not embrace Trump, he could not continue as speaker. But is Ryan, who was reluctant to become speaker, now more indispensable to the nation’s civic health than Trump is menacing to that health? Ryan could have enhanced that health by valuing it above his office.

In March, Trump said of Ryan: “I’m sure I’m going to get along great with him.

And if I don’t, he’s going to have to pay a big price.”

Ryan has now paid a staggering price by getting along with Trump. And what did Ryan purchase with the coin of his reputation? Perhaps his agenda.

In Robert Bolt’s play “A Man for All Seasons,” Thomas More is betrayed by Richard Rich, who commits perjury to please the king, in exchange for being named attorney general for Wales.

Says More: “Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. ... But for Wales?” Or for the House agenda?

Trump’s frightening foreign policy It doesn’t require a foreign policy speech by Hillary Clinton to prove that Donald Trump is unfit to be commander in chief.

But Clinton did the country a service last week by laying out the dangers of having Trump’s hand on the nuclear trigger. She had only to quote some of Trump’s bizarre foreign policy statements and his rants against perceived enemies. These include U.S. judges, journalists, the Republican governor of New Mexico, U.S. allies such as Germany’s Angela Merkel, Britain’s David Cameron, Pope Francis and just about anyone who displeases him.

The Donald’s temperament problem is all too apparent.

“It’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin,” Clinton argued.

But not enough attention has been focused on the security risks posed by Trump’s volatile approach to foreign policy. That has to change.

As Clinton noted, Trump is ready to see more countries acquire nuclear weapons and is willing to abandon the NATO alliance. He displays admiration for autocrats and dictators, such as Vladimir Putin, Chinese communist leaders and even North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Trump tweeted that Clinton was misrepresenting his statements. She wasn’t.

The Donald regularly insults close U.S. allies while gushing over Putin. After Prime Minister Cameron faulted Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims,

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

“

Or to put it differently, if you make a mess of dealing with China and Russia and endanger U.S. interests, you can’t just declare bankruptcy and go home.”

Trump said: “It looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship.” He called Merkel a “catastrophic leader” for allowing Muslim refugees into her country. If he carried out his proposed ban on all noncitizen Muslims he would infuriate many friendly Muslim countries while strengthening the Islamic State.

His insults are delivered with supreme carelessness, as if those allies are toast.

Meantime, as Clinton notes, the GOP candidate has a bizarre affinity for dictators and strongmen who dislike America and repress their people.

Trump repeatedly praises Putin, as in: “I will tell you, in terms of leadership, he’s getting an A.” In a 1990 interview with Playboy he praised the Chinese government for showing strength by crushing the 1989 Ti-

ananmen demonstrations.

Questioned on this recently, he denied he’d endorsed the massacre but referred falsely to those peaceful protests as “a riot.” As for Kim Jong Un, Trump has said, “You have to give him credit” for showing “he’s the boss.”

Clearly the candidate admires strongmen. But his warmth for tough guys is matched by his disdain for NATO and key alliances with Japan and South Korea.

From his statements, Trump seems ready to let both Asian countries go nuclear and battle it out with Pyongyang on their own.

Speaking during the Wisconsin primary, the GOP candidate joked about a potential war between Tokyo and Pyongyang. “It would be a terrible thing,” he said, “but if they do, they do. Good luck.

Enjoy yourself, folks.”

Is this the mindset Americans want in a future occupant of the White House? Good luck, enjoy yourselves and have a nice little nuclear war?

What makes Trump particularly dangerous is his false, firm conviction that he knows how the world works — because of his business dealings.

He claims he “knows Russia well” because he held a Miss Universe contest there “two or three years ago … which was an incredible success.” I am not kidding.

He says he needn’t consult with experts on foreign policy because he has “a very good brain.”

This mindset will make him a patsy for Putin, or China’s politburo. As Clinton put

it: “If you don’t know exactly who you’re dealing with, men like Putin will eat your lunch.”

Or to put it differently, if you make a mess of dealing with China and Russia and endanger U.S. interests, you can’t just declare bankruptcy and go home.

But Trump is wedded to simple answers about how to secure this country — answers that could imperil the nation. One moment he’s an isolationist, with his talk of ending key alliances. The next minute he talks of wiping out the Islamic State “very, very quickly,” hinting that he won’t rule out using “tactical nukes.”

Then he switches gears altogether and says the United States has “no choice” but to send 20,000 to 30,000 ground troops to “knock out” the Islamic State, an idea that proves he has no clue about realities in Iraq or Syria. And no interest in learning.

The bottom line is that it’s not hard to imagine a Trump foreign policy and the possibilities are frightening. If the world didn’t fit his preconceptions, he might act recklessly or even precipitate nuclear conflict.

Clinton’s speech didn’t elaborate much on her own foreign policy ideas which she has spelled out previously. (I’ll discuss them in another column.) But she put the spotlight on a question that may be the most important of this election: Would you feel safe putting the security of your children into Donald Trump’s hands?

Airbnb struggles to live up to its own motto: ‘Belong anywhere’ Home-sharing service accused of racial bias, overly white workforce Jessica Guynn

USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Airbnb may have to rethink its “belong anywhere” slogan as people question whether it’s doing enough to crack down on discrimination.

The home-sharing service that’s supposed to open doors around the globe is accused of slamming them shut on African Americans and other minority groups. The latest allegation, made public Sunday, involved Shadi Petosky, a Hollywood producer and transgender woman, who said it took a viral tweet for Airbnb to ban a host who turned her away because of her gender identity.

Belonging isn’t just about who uses the service. The fast-growing San Francisco company employs very few African Americans and Latinos.

JOHN MACDOUGAL, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Airbnb says it wants diversity.

Airbnb, which sports a $25.5 billion valuation, serves markets all over the globe, but its staffers are not nearly so representative. In October, Airbnb reported that its workforce is 54% male, 63% white, 22% Asian, 7% Latino and 3% African American.

Monday, Airbnb said a program is in the works to recruit underrepresented minorities.

“We are determined to attract and retain people from diverse backgrounds at Airbnb, and we hope that Airbnb Connect opens up new opportunities for people,” said Mike Curtis, Airbnb’s vice

president of engineering.

Airbnb Connect will offer temporary jobs to people looking to make a career transition. People with two to five years of experience in other fields will spend six months learning the skills needed to work in the tech industry and will be offered an opportunity to join Airbnb.

Airbnb tapped Laura Murphy, the former head of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington Legislative Office, to help lead a “comprehensive” review of how hosts who rent their homes on Airbnb pick guests.

A Harvard Business School study found discrimination by Airbnb hosts against guests whose names sounded distinctly black. Black Airbnb users have shared their stories under the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack.

An African-American man is suing Airbnb for discrimination, alleging it did nothing when he was rejected by a host because of his race. Airbnb banned a host in North Carolina last week after he used racist language to reject a Nigerian woman.

Nearly a year before Hillary Clinton announced her presidential bid, she arrived at an Iowa steak fry to thousands of supporters wearing “Ready for Hillary” buttons lined up for barbecue next to antique tractors and bales of hay.

The “Ready for Hillary” super PAC was a new innovation, a grass-roots organization for a candidate-in-waiting — independent of Clinton herself and free from contribution limits. “There was some element of skepticism among D.C. know-it-alls, and they were proven very wrong,” said Tracy Sefl, a former senior adviser to the group.

On Monday night, The Associated Press said that Clinton had secured the support of enough superdelegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination when the party convenes at its July convention in Philadelphia. The announcement came on the eve of the last round of state primaries.

For all of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ grass-roots thunder, Clinton’s massive volunteer operation is a crucial piece of the story behind how she will become the nation’s first female major-party presidential nominee.

It’s a lesson that included following Barack Obama’s 2008 playbook: maximizing vote totals in all 50 states, including in caucus states such as Wyoming that she lost; surrounding herself with advisers who kept a lid on the drama and infighting that plagued her previous run; and giving command performances at critical junctures in the campaign, including at the first Democratic debate in Las Vegas in October and in her testimony later that month before a special v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

U.S. Navy bans alcohol in Japan after crime spree

Move follows arrest of sailor on Sunday Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO The U.S. Navy imposed a total ban on alcohol consumption in Japan on Monday and ordered all 18,000 American sailors confined to their bases for non-essential activities to thwart a string of crimes that has provoked outrage among Japanese.

The announcement followed the arrest early Sunday of an American sailor on drunken-driv-

ing charges. A Japanese woman was hospitalized and a man was slightly injured after Okinawa police said the sailor drove the wrong way on a busy highway late Saturday, striking two other cars.

The sailor was not injured but was arrested by Japanese police after she was found to have a blood-alcohol level six times Japan’s legal limit, according to Japan’s Kyodo News service.

The arrest came a week after U.S. authorities announced that all military personnel on Okinawa would be banned from drinking alcohol off base as part of a 30-day period of “unity and mourning.”

The mourning period was de-

“I’ve never seen that done before.

I’ve seen where they put certain bars ... off-limits.”

Gary Barthel, a retired Marine Corps attorney, on sweeping alcohol ban

clared after a U.S. base worker, a former Marine, was arrested May 19 and charged with the brutal rape and murder of a 20-yearold Japanese woman. Her body was found stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in a wooded area.

Such high-profile crimes have

strained U.S.-Japan relations and jeopardize plans to relocate a key U.S. airbase in Okinawa.

Many Japanese already were shocked by the arrest of a Navy corpsman two months earlier on charges of raping a Japanese woman in a hotel in the city of Naha, Okinawa’s capital. The Navy corpsman pleaded guilty in a Japanese court last week.

The sweep of the no-drinking order appears unprecedented because it applies countrywide and restricts where sailors can go onand off-base, said Gary Barthel, a retired Marine Corps attorney.

“I’ve never seen that done before,” he said. “I’ve seen where

they put certain bars or certain establishments off-limits.”

Such a ban is difficult to enforce but can act as a deterrent.

The Navy uses shore patrol personnel to keep an eye on off-duty sailors to ensure they are following orders. They can bring a sailor back to base to face discipline if found violating orders.

Roughly half the 54,000 U.S. troops stationed in Japan are in Okinawa, and some residents have long complained of noise, congestion and crime associated with the heavy military presence.

Indian PM Modi seeks closer ties Black pupils Security, economy and environment on wide-ranging agenda Gregg Zoroya @greggzoroya USA TODAY

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet with President Obama on Tuesday and address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday during a visit to the U.S. capital to consolidate improved ties between the world’s largest democracies.

“We will seek to build upon the progress achieved in providing new vigor and momentum to our strategic partnership in diverse areas,” Modi said in a statement from the Indian government.

It will be the seventh time Modi and Obama have met since the 65-year-old Indian leader came to power in 2014.

Obama praised Modi in April for laying out “an ambitious vision to reduce extreme poverty, improve education, empower women and girls and unleash India’s true economic potential while confronting climate change.”

Modi is trying to improve the business climate of his nation of nearly 1.3 billion people, the

India’s foreign ministry described the upcoming summit as an effort to lock in progress on several fronts, including economic, energy, environment and defense and security issues.

The security discussions occur at a time when China’s growing military clout in Asia has raised concerns among neighboring na-

tions.

India and the U.S. released a joint statement last year ensuring freedom of navigation, “especially in the South China Sea,” where the Chinese appear to be building military installations in disputed territory.

On the economic front, Modi has placed a high premium on “digital India” initiatives. Last year, he visited Silicon Valley, where he embraced Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and promised more

high-speed Internet access and tech jobs.

Last month, Modi met with Apple CEO Tim Cook, one of many U.S. tech chiefs who have visited India to increase business opportunities in a country with a vast consumer market.

The prime minster, who grew up in poverty, is not without controversy. During his tenure as chief minister of the eastern Indian state of Gujarat, religious riots left 1,000 people dead, most of them Muslims. Modi, who is a Hindu, was accused of encouraging the killings, allegations he strongly denies. He was denied entry into the U.S. over the issue before becoming prime minister.

An Indian court declined to prosecute him in connection with the riots, media reported.

During his visit to Washington, Modi is scheduled to address a business forum held by the U.S.India Business Council, meet with corporate leaders and speak with elected officials in Congress.

On Monday, Modi paid a visit to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, where he lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknowns and the Space Shuttle Columbia Memorial.

Clinton was ready to fight for it v CONTINUED FROM 1B

House committee investigating attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Despite an early narrative that likened her run to a coronation, the candidate was more skeptical of the road ahead. Shortly after she left the State Department in 2013, Rep. Xavier Becerra, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, invited her to speak to his members.

“I thought for sure she’d come because we were already seeing ‘Ready for Hillary’ stickers, and the speculation was rampant,” said Becerra, D-Calif., among her potential vice presidential picks.

“She took a pass,” and “I thought, ‘OK, this is really someone taking some time to think things through.’

“She probably guessed right that this was not going to be a cakewalk,” he said.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

The anchor that grounded her through an unexpectedly stormy primary was her grass-roots network of volunteers.

Two years before she announced, dozens of volunteers occupied half a floor in a Northern Virginia office building working with technology and digital strategists to build an email list of millions of supporters in all 50 states. A bus with a picture of her emblazoned on its backside traveled thousands of miles, to college campuses, football games and gay pride parades.

This infrastructure would be, through a series of legal transfers, absorbed into Clinton’s campaign, and it’s the biggest tactical change from her failed 2008 strategy. Within the first two weeks after her official launch in April 2015, there were staffers in all 50 states and hundreds of organizing meetings taking place.

As Sanders’ campaign gained steam, the opening contests looked like potential losses for the candidate whose nomination was once thought inevitable. The Vermont senator’s neighboring New Hampshire looked particularly difficult, and Iowa was a caucus state, in which only the most committed and enthusiastic party faithful tend to participate, an advantage for Sanders.

Though Sanders won most of the caucus states, Clinton’s team relied on a grass-roots network — namely a training program for precinct captains and technology including a smartphone application identifying winnable delegates — to pull out critical wins in two of them: Iowa and Nevada.

Clinton’s team organized even in caucus states Sanders was sure to win. In Wyoming, her team hit Native American reservations and helped supporters caucus via absentee ballots, and the two wound up splitting the state’s 14 pledged delegates.

In 2008, Clinton did not overtly run on women’s issues. This time, they were stitched into ev-

“She’s very comfortable playing the woman card, as Trump would say,” said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster and expert on women candidates.

Speaking to reporters Monday, Clinton was asked whether she appreciates what her nomination means to other women. “My supporters are passionate. They are committed. They have voted for me in great numbers across our country for many reasons,” she said. “But among those reasons is their belief that having a woman president will make a great statement, a historic statement about what kind of country we are, what we stand for. It’s really emotional.”

She made heavy use of smaller, intimate settings — including

with mothers of gun violence survivors — to relay her campaign messages about gun control.

The approach, which included showcasing individuals other than herself in paid advertising, contrasts with eight years ago, said Mo Elleithee, who was then one of her top aides.

“The message was about her,” emphasizing her experience, he said. “It never matched what people were looking for. This time, it’s about fighting for you, and that matches this moment.”

WEATHERING STORMS

Her organizational strength probably compensated for some tactical misjudgments and shortcomings that fueled a fierce nominating battle, including the lack of a clear economic message, which Sanders and her Republican challenger, Donald Trump, emphasized from the outset.

Though the 2008 race may have been tighter in terms of the delegate race, the 2016 contest took on a harsher tone, including charges that she was bought and paid for by Wall Street and the suggestion that she was unqualified for the job.

Errors included pushing the Democratic National Committee to limit the number of debates.

Clinton fared well in the debates, and headlines after her first performance at the Las Vegas debate in October said she “crushed it.”

Yet that initial decision to limit debates set ablaze a narrative that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was trying to rig the election for Clinton, feeding hard feelings that present the candidate’s biggest crisis as she attempts to court Sanders’ voters.

“It’s going to be problematic,” Lake said. “There could be turnout issues, for sure.”

Some Clinton allies said the campaign lacked an overall strategist coordinating her message, akin to Obama’s David Axelrod in 2008. Clinton rolled out detailed policy proposals, from tackling autism to creating infrastructure jobs, and used different slogans, including “Fighting for You,” “Breaking Down Barriers” and “I’m with Her.” In contrast, Sanders stubbornly stuck to the same message in virtually every speech, even against the advice of some of his closest advisers, highlighting a “rigged” economy and Wall Street greed. It worked, as Sanders drew record crowds across the nation while Clinton’s campaign struggled with a media narrative about an “enthusiasm gap.”

Despite any missteps, the campaign largely steered clear of the sniping, infighting and media leaks that hurt morale eight years prior. Clinton replaced her stable of top advisers, such as media

maestro Phil Singer, known for his confrontational tone, with a new bench led by campaign manager Robby Mook.

And except for a few outbursts, including denouncing “sexist Bernie Bros” in New Hampshire and an altercation with a Black Lives Matter protester, Bill Clinton did not hurt her the way he did eight years ago by angering black voters in South Carolina.

“They’re working towards a common purpose in a way that our campaign didn’t in 2008,” Elleithee said.

As she pivots to a general election campaign, outside advisers push her to go further. Polling shows Clinton’s main challenges remain voter skepticism of her trustworthiness and likability and she rarely allows for off-thescript media interactions.

A recent report by the State Department’s inspector general may have solidified her low numbers on trustworthiness, and her initial refusal to apologize for maintaining a private server as secretary of State can be counted among her campaign’s missteps.

Yet she can still strengthen her economic message.

Much as in the battle with Sanders, finding her own populist voice is a central challenge in the fight against Trump, whose outsider message to “Make America Great Again” vanquished a field of 16 GOP rivals and vaulted him ahead of her in polling on questions related to the economy and dealing with Wall Street and trade.

Her campaign’s taken a number of steps to address the likability issue, including assigning a video crew to follow her around full time to capture spontaneous interactions with voters.

Still, those poll numbers remain problematic.

“Elections are about people, they are not about policy. The biggest problem Hillary Clinton faces is, she’s the most famous person in the world who no one really knows,” Elleithee said. “Everyone thinks they know her, but no one really does. That is her challenge, let people get to know her.”

four times more likely suspended ‘Systemic failure’ to equal education Greg Toppo @gtoppo USATODAY

African-American students are nearly four times as likely as their white classmates to be suspended from school, new federal data show, a stark reminder that more than 60 years after the Brown v.

Board of Education decision, public school for many minority students is a different place than the one that many white students attend.

The new data, out Tuesday from the U.S. Department of Education and required by Congress, show that African-American K-12 students are 3.8 times as likely to receive one or more out-of-school suspensions as white students.

While 6% of all students received one or more out-of-school suspensions in the 2013-2014 school year, the percentage was 18% for African-American boys and 10% for African-American girls.

By contrast, among white students, only 5% of boys and 2% of girls were suspended at least once, according to the data, released biannually by the department’s Office of Civil Rights.

U.S. Education Secretary John King said the data lay bare the USA’s “systemic failure” to educate all students equally.

“These data show that we still fall far short of that ideal,” he said, noting that the findings suggest students of color, those whose first language is not English and those with disabilities are “not getting same opportunities to learn” as other classmates.

“When we deny some students access to a high-quality education, we all lose out in multiple ways,” he said.

The findings also included startling new evidence on “chronically absent” students, those who miss 15 or more school days per year due to illness, suspension or the need to care for a family member, among other reasons.

Nationwide, more than 6.5 million students, or about 13%, are chronically absent, including more than 3 million high school students and more than 3.5 million elementary school students.

King called the statistics “distressing.”

“It’s very worrisome that we have 13% of our students who are chronically absent,” he told reporters on Monday. “Even the best teacher can’t be successful if students aren’t in class, and so we’ve got work to do as a country on this issue.”

TROPICAL STORM COLIN DRENCHES FLA. ‘It’s going to be messy’; floods, tornadoes possible Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Tropical Storm Colin hit north Florida and parts of Georgia on Monday, with rain and gusty winds knocking out power and flooding roads in some areas.

It had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. Tropical storms carry wind speeds between 39 mph and 73 mph.

Forecasters do not expect Colin’s wind speed to reach 74 mph, which would classify it as a hurricane. The storm was moving to the north-northeast at 23 mph, the hurricane center said.

“We’re not worried. ... St. Marks is a very tight community — we always help each other out.”

About 7,600 people were without power in the Tampa Bay area, the Associated Press reported. Duke Energy said Monday afternoon it had 3,600 customers without electricity, while Tampa Electric Company said on its website that 4,022 people were experiencing outages. In Jacksonville on Florida’s Atlantic coast, about 2,300 customers were without power as heavy rains hit the area late Monday, according to the Jacksonville Energy Authority.

People who live in the small town of St. Marks, just south of Tallahassee, spent Monday preparing for Colin, though they didn’t seem terribly concerned.

“We’re not worried,” said John Hargan, bartender at the Riverside Cafe. “We’ve been working all morning buttoning everything up. St. Marks is a very tight community — we always

Residents and workers in St. Marks spent the morning securing boats, stocking up on supplies and making other preparations. Brian Mugrage, a commercial fisherman and night cook at the café, moved the restaurant’s beer supply to higher ground and planned to tie tables and chairs to a wooden pole.

Colin is the third named storm of the 2016 hurricane season. It is also the earliest “C” or third storm of a season since records began in 1851.

Colin is forecast to move across portions of Florida and southeastern Georgia early Tuesday, and then travel up the southeastern coast of the U.S.

later Tuesday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order Monday declaring a state of emergency in 34 counties.

“The system has strengthened a little bit,” Will Ulrich, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne, said Monday. The storm has the potential to produce tornadoes and heavy rainfall, Ulrich said.

Weather officials also warned boaters, surfers and swimmers tempted by the high, pounding surfs and rough waves to avoid getting into the water as dangerous rip currents are expected.

The storm could dump between 3 to 5 inches of rain in the

Melbourne area alone — and more in other isolated spots across the state.

“It’s going to be messy,” said Tim Sedlock, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne late Sunday.

The weather service in Mobile, Ala., issued a flood warning for the Shoal River near Crestview and warned of possible flooding in streams, creeks, and canals. Wind gusts threatened to bring down trees.

The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season began last Wednesday and will run through Nov. 30.

The Baltimore police officer facing the most serious charges in the death of Freddie Gray will go on trial this week with his fate being decided by a Maryland judge.

Caesar Goodson, 46, on Monday waived his right to a jury trial on charges of second-degree “depraved heart” murder, manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. Judge Barry Williams said he will hear opening arguments Thursday.

Gray, who was black, was arrested by bicycle officers on a Baltimore street April 12, 2015. He was shackled and loaded into a van driven by Goodson but was not secured in a seat belt. Gray, 25, suffered a severe spinal injury, apparently en route to the police station. He died a week later.

uFive people were killed in an attack apparently targeting Jordanian intelligence officers at a refugee camp near Amman on Monday. No group immediately claimed responsibility, the Associated Press reported.

British Prime Minister David Cameron tried Monday to counter growing support for a British exit from the European Union, warning that it would “put a bomb under our economy.”

Cameron accused supporters of a “Brexit” of spreading “fantasy politics” and urged citizens to vote to stay in the 28-member bloc when the referendum on the issue is held June 23, according to media outlets.

Other European leaders have begun to issue similar stark warnings that Britain would suffer if it leaves the EU. They also were responding to polls that show increased support in the United Kingdom for doing just that.

A survey out Monday from YouGov, an online research firm, showed the campaign for a Brexit has opened up a 4 to 5 percentage point lead over those who want to remain. Eleven percent were undecided.

The British pound weakened against the dollar and the euro on uncertainty of the vote.

Former London mayor Boris Johnson, leader of the Brexit camp, responded to Cameron’s charge by claiming that staying in the EU is the riskier option.

“The risks of remaining in this over-centralizing, over-regulating, job-destroying machine are becoming more and more obvious,” Johnson said.

Cameron has urged other EU leaders to keep a low profile on the referendum to avoid the appearance of interfering in British domestic affairs, a main argument of the Brexit camp.

The first signs that the EU may not stand by and watch came last week, when leaders from Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain unleashed a series of warnings about the economic consequences of a Brexit.

British Prime Minister David Cameron talks to supporters during a “Remain In” event in Central London on Monday.

A survey from YouGov showed the campaign for a Brexit has opened up a 4-to-5 percentage point lead over those who want to remain.

“One nation alone will never be able to achieve such good results,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said of Britain’s prospects for securing a favorable trade deal if it leaves the bloc. “It’s in all of our interest, but also in British interests, to say we’re putting all of our weight into a negotiation as part of the EU.” Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy noted the rights of all EU citizens to live and work in any of the EU member states, and said a British exit would be “very negative for British citizens. The European Union is based ... on the principles of freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital.”

Irish Prime Minister Enda

Kenny warned that a Brexit might mean that border controls would need to be reinstated between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., a sensitive issue given the history of the conflict there that was stabilized in part by their EU membership.

Matthew Goodwin, a professor of politics at the University of Kent, said warnings from leaders outside the U.K. aren’t having much impact on British voters.

“Throughout the entire campaign, the opinion polls have been remarkably stable despite high-profile interventions from President Obama, (International Monetary Fund Managing Director) Christine Lagarde, the British Treasury and many others,” Goodwin said.

Werner Weidenfeld, who runs the Center for Applied Policy Research at the University of Munich, said Cameron was right to discourage other EU leaders from weighing in on the debate.

“The EU needs to deliver a strategic picture about the future of Europe that’s not just about Britain or its interests. Not as Germans, Austrians or Italians, but as Europeans.”

Fed chair paints rosy picture of economy, gives no hints on hike Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Monday sketched a generally positive picture of the economy and labor market, saying Friday’s dismal jobs report was “concerning,” but policymakers still plan to gradually raise interest rates.

She did not specify whether a rate hike at the Fed’s June 14-15 meeting was still feasible, but financial markets are giving less than 5% odds of such a move, and Yellen said nothing to alter that view. She also didn’t tip her hand

on the likelihood of a July rate increase, though fed fund futures say the chances are 27%, down from 31% before the speech.

Generally, however, Yellen emphasized the labor market’s cumulative progress and voiced only measured concern about Friday’s report, which revealed that just 38,000 jobs were added in May, a nearly six-year low. The Labor Department also revised down its estimates of April employment additions to 123,000.

“Although this recent labor market report was, on balance, concerning, let me emphasize that one should never attach too much significance to any single monthly report,” Yellen said in a speech at the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. She noted that other key labor market indicators,

Fed Chair Janet Yellen arrives to deliver her speech Monday in Philadelphia.

“If incoming data are consistent ... further gradual increases in the federal funds rate are likely to be appropriate.”

Fed Chair Janet Yellen

such as initial jobless claims, remain low.

Yellen pointed out the economy added an average 230,000 jobs a month in 2015, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 5% from 10% in 2009. Meanwhile, she said, wage growth is picking up, the pace of job openings hit a record high in March, and the number of Americans switching jobs are near prerecession levels.

“If incoming data are consistent with labor market conditions strengthening and inflation making progress toward our 2% objective, as I expect, further gradual increases in the federal funds rate are likely to be appropriate,” she said. But she didn’t provide a timetable, a retreat from her remarks in late May that a favorable economy likely would lead to a rate increase “in coming months.”

The company will retain control of the rental car brands, including Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty, under a new corporate name: Hertz Global Holdings. It will shift its equipmentrental operations to an entity called Herc Holdings.

Although many companies use Chapter 11 to restructure and emerge as a viable company, Hercules plans to use the segment of the bankruptcy code to dissolve its operations. The company confirmed Monday that it will sell assets and then shutter operations that do not find a suitor.

“Recent signs of a slowdown in job creation bear close watching,” she said.

“Unfortunately, as I noted earlier, new questions about the economic outlook have been raised by the recent labor market data,” Yellen said. “Is the markedly reduced pace of hiring in April and May a harbinger of a persistent slowdown in the broader economy? Or will monthly payroll gains move up toward the solid pace they maintained early this year and 2015?”

Some economists have said the Fed likely will want to see at least two solid employment reports before lifting rates. Yellen’s mixed assessment probably means a July rate hike is still on the table but economic data “will likely need to bat a thousand for that to occur,” economist Michael Feroli of JPMorgan Chase says.

NIKE, UNDER ARMOUR BATTLE FOR

ATHLETIC SUPREMACY

Competition among apparel companies reaches fever pitch Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t the only organizations battling it out in the NBA Finals. Nike and Under Armour are tipping off, too.

The NBA Finals is the most public venue yet of the intensifying battle between athletic apparel giant Nike, which sponsors the Cavaliers’ LeBron James, and smaller rival Under Armour, which sponsors the Warriors’ Stephen Curry.

It’s a corporate competition that has been brewing for some time and is getting more high profile as Under Armour grows the resources to compete on a grand scale — not just including endorsing a champion pro athlete such as Curry — but also striking a $280 million apparel deal with UCLA last month.

But for investors, the victor of the NBA Finals or even who wins the super-sponsorships isn’t what’s most important. It’s where they can get the best score for themselves.

“What do investors care about?

It’s shareholder returns,” says Laurent Vasilescu, analyst at Macquarie.

“That’s the bottom line.”

While both Nike and Under Armour are essentially in the same business of selling athletic shoes and apparel, as investments they are very different. Here are some of the ways that investors are looking at these two stocks and choosing their winners:

COMPARABLE BRANDS Metric 18-month price target Upside to target Rating 2016 revenue expected 2016 revenue % change expected 2015 revenue % change Net income 2016 expected EPS % change 2016 expected EBITDA margin P-E trailing

Nike $71.23 31.2% Outperform $33.92B 8.3% 5.3% $3.84B 17.3% 16.1% 25.2

Under Armour $48.76 32.5% Outperform $4.96B 25.2% 28.5% $0.26B 11.3% 12.7% 68.5

SOURCE S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

uGROWTH RATE. WINNER: UNDER ARMOUR.

If there’s an allure to Under Armour it comes down to its growth. Last year, Under Armour chalked up a 29% revenue gain, and analysts think it will grow another 25% this year, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

That makes Nike look like it’s standing still with 8.3% expected revenue growth in 2016. Some investors chasing Under Armour are betting it will be the next $10 billion brand. uVALUATION. WINNER: NIKE.

Under Armour stock is trading at almost 70 times its earnings during the past 12 months, which makes the broader market’s current 20 P-E look cheap. Nike is trading for a much more modest premium of about 25. Some might think Under Armour is worth the higher price for its faster growth. But even if the company achieves lofty expectations for 2017 earnings, the stock is still trading for about 45 times those lofty forecasts. Under Armour’s growth is “priced in,” says Corinna Freedman, analyst at BB&T.

uSTABILITY AND DURABILITY. WINNER: NIKE.

Under Armour is still tiny compared to Nike. If revenue does hit $5 billion this year, that will still be 15% of the $33.9 billion revenue expected by Nike.

Nike’s sheer size and skill at innovation also makes it a profit machine. The company’s adjusted earnings per share is expected to jump 17% this year, topping the 11.3% bottom line growth expected at Under Armour. Nike generated $2.1 billion in free cash flow the past 12 months, while Under Armour burned through $370.8 million, Vasilescu says. Nike continues to develop new technology that keeps the brand fresh and preserves profits, Vasilescu says.

On the other hand, Under Armour has more risk, says Paul Swinand, analyst at Morningstar.

Wall Street at large likes both Nike and Under Armour, but Swinand says for most investors, just go with Nike.

“If it was my own money and I had no other consumer names in my portfolio, I’d still prefer Nike, based on that wide moat, its international business and its returns on capital,” Swinand says.

Having your social media accounts hacked can happen to any one. Just ask Mark Zuckerberg.

The Facebook CEO’s accounts on Twitter and Pinterest were compromised by hackers, according to screen shots of the pages published by tech website Engadget. Zuckerberg has regained access to both accounts, and any messages posted have been removed.

“No Facebook systems or accounts were accessed,” Facebook spokeswoman Melanie Ensign said in an emailed statement. “The affected accounts have been reUSA TODAY secured.”

A team of CEO Mark hackers called Zuckerberg’s OurMine is Facebook claiming credit account was for the hack, not accessed. saying Zuckerberg’s credentials were discovered in a database of compromised LinkedIn accounts. The professional social network told millions of its users last month to change passwords after login information from as many as 100 million users swiped in 2012 surfaced on the internet.

A team of hackers called OurMine is claiming credit, saying Zuckerberg’s credentials were discovered in a database of compromised LinkedIn accounts.

The Twitter account for OurMine has been suspended. Although Zuckerberg’s accounts have since deleted all messages related to the hack, screenshots are available on Twitter.

Hacks like the incident involving Zuckerberg are a reminder to use stronger passwords or enable features including two-factor authentication to secure accounts.

Security experts suggest creating different passwords for each online account used. Web users can also use password manager apps that will create different, random passwords for multiple sites.

Two-factor authentication requires users to type in a special code sent to their smartphone after they’ve logged in to a service to verify their identity. Services including Facebook, Google and Twitter are among several that use two-factor authentication.

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

The S&P 500 index is again climbing to high-altitude levels and breathing rarefied air.

After kicking off the week with a solid rally, the broad U.S. stock gauge is within 1% of its record close of 2,130.82 dating to May 21, 2015.

More than a year since notching its all-time high, the S&P 500 is in rally mode again, driven in large part to hints that the Federal Reserve will hold off on interest-rate hikes in June and possibly the entire summer.

The U.S. stock market is gaining momentum again. Some three out of four stocks in the S&P 500 index — which includes large-cap names as well as midcap stocks and small-company

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

names — are currently in an uptrend, according to Oppenheimer.

A sign of the S&P 500’s renewed mojo is its breakout above the key 2,100 level, which has acted as a price ceiling since the large-company stock index retreated from its record highs.

Stocks have gotten a lift from the continued strength in energy prices. U.S.-produced crude rallied more than 2% Monday and closed just shy of $50 per barrel.

If the S&P 500 can close in record territory, the other major stock indexes will have to get in catch-up mode, as the Dow Jones industrial average is about 2% below its record, the Nasdaq is almost 5% shy and the smallcompany Russell 2000 index rremains down about 9% from its record.

To confirm a rally is for real, Wall Street likes to see the other indexes join the party.

Do-it-yourselfers can save big bucks on fees Q: Is my adviser’s 1% investment fee fair?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It’s typical for financial advisers to take 1% of your assets each year as a fee.

That’s a big drag on your portfolio that’s difficult to make up.

Whether it’s fair depends on you.

On top of the 1% fee you might pay your adviser, the adviser might suggest investments such as mutual funds that charge additional fees. Low-cost exchange-traded funds charge 0.1% or less, but actively managed funds or specialty ETFs might charge 0.8% or higher.

That means you could face overall fees of 1.8% or more, which on a $1 million portfolio amounts to $18,000 a year. For some investors, the 1% charge might be worthwhile.

Some financial advisers, as part of the fee, take on additional financial duties such as assisting in paying bills or monitoring insurance policies or estate planning.

Financial advisers might also earn their keep if they prevent you from making even costlier mistakes with your money, like trying to time the market, panic at the wrong times or sit on cash.

Some advisers are willing to charge less, especially if you invest more money with them.

Walmart is the top dog on the Fortune 500 list for the fourth consecutive year, the magazine revealed Monday in its 2016 rankings.

Rounding out the top 10 in the 62nd annual rankings, based on total revenues for their fiscal years: ExxonMobil, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, McKesson, UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, General Motors, Ford Motor and AT&T.

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Apple, the most profitable company on the list at $53 billion, was among companies making big moves this year, jumping to No. 3 from No. 5 last year. Other movers in the top 25 included Amazon.com (No. 18) and Walgreens (No. 19), which moved into the top 20. Microsoft (No. 25)

made the top 25 for the first time, up from No. 31 last year.

Facebook jumped 85 spots to No. 157, and Netflix leaped 95 spots to No. 379 (from No. 474).

Expedia moved 73 to No. 385.

More than half of Fortune 500 companies saw sales drop, including No. 1 Walmart, which had a sales decline of 0.7% in 2015. For the entire list, revenues were down 4.2% from 2015. Overall, Fortune 500 profits fell 11%. Not surprisingly, the biggest loser was energy as low oil prices led to a net loss of $44 billion on $1.3 trillion in revenues for the 62 companies in the list’s energy sector.

“The Fortune 500 emerged a bit battered from events of the past year,” Fortune Editor Alan Murray said in writing about this year’s Fortune 500 list. “The poor performance of energy companies, in particular, took its toll, as did the flight from public markets by companies like Safeway and PetSmart. … But the list remains the benchmark of business success, with total revenues equaling two-thirds of U.S. GDP. As ever, the Fortune 500 represent the bulk and the breadth of American, and global, business.”

Collectively, the Fortune 500 had total annual revenues of $12

trillion, about two-thirds the size of the U.S. GDP, but down 4% from last year’s high of $12.5 trillion. Taking second place in profits behind Apple was JPMorgan Chase, which saw earnings up 12.3% and displaced Exxon.

Other big Fortune 500 movers included engineering firm AECOM, which made the year’s biggest jump (187 spots) to No. 156; retailer Dollar Tree, up 150 to No. 180; Lithia Motors at No. 346 (up from 482); NGL Energy Partners at No. 167 (up from No. 300); Kindred Healthcare up 119 to No. 372; and Kraft Heinz at No. 153, up 119.

Detective trilogy’s close is packed with high-tech suspense Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

Stephen King has a storied and sinister history of turning our beloved things against us, from cars to dogs. And now, gaming devices.

A mind-numbing tablet app with cute colorful fish becomes a killer plot device in End of Watch (Scribner, 429 pp., eeee out of four), the deliciously savory conclusion to SHANE LEONARD King’s phenomStephen King enal hardboiled Mr. Mercedes trilogy. The hypnotic game is the final act of revenge for murderous Brady Hartsfield, who has proved over three books to be one of the author’s creepiest weirdos

this side of Pennywise and Jack Torrance.

Out to stop Brady one last time is retired cop Bill Hodges, a P.I. who teamed with young partners Jerome and Holly to take down Hartsfield the first time. Dubbed the Mercedes Killer after he mowed down a group of job-fair hopefuls, he was brained by Holly with a sock full of ball bearings before he could blow up an arena full of music-loving kids (see 2014’s Mr. Mercedes). Brady has been in a slobbering vegetative state for five years.

After putting his own spin on the detective genre in the first novel and last year’s sequel Finder Keepers, King breaks out his familiar gift for the otherworldly in End of Watch. Brady has developed some extraordinary abilities sitting in a hospital room for half a decade, finds pawns to control without lifting a finger, and turns them on Hodges and anyone else who has done him wrong. (There are quite a few in that number, to be honest.)

Brady is a dangerous pain in his butt, but Hodges happens to be in a world of hurt that has

nothing to do with the madman.

A threatening medical diagnosis for the P.I. has Hodges scrambling to foil the murderer’s latest deadly act, although Brady is in essence a satisfying dose of morphine and a shot of caffeine for the old coot.

King smoothly moves between points of view with his main characters to maintain the book’s

gripping, page-turning pace while revealing the whodunit as well as the how-they-did-it. A packed tale in itself, End of Watch is treated as a true third act as readers catch up with characters from previous books and lingering questions are answered.

The Mercedes novels have shown a new side to King as he has spun noir and pulp tropes into a modern yarn, weaving in our dependence on technology and the crippling effects of loneliness, obsession and aging. Yet he has also introduced iconic foes to enjoy, not unlike Batman and the Joker.

Hodges and Brady live to torment each other, yet there’s something relatable about these two. It’s a young-vs.-old dichotomy, hightech vs. old-school tension, between a pair of men who down deep share common ground.

End of Watch brings a finality to their story — and to the trilogy, as strong a King series as The Dark Tower in terms of characterization and pure storytelling.

When it comes to the gumshoe genre, though, fingers crossed that King is not yet closed for business.

How candy companies shape food science

By Candice Choi Associated Press

New York — It was a startling scientific finding: Children who eat candy tend to weigh less than those who don’t.

Less startling was how it came about. The paper, it turns out, was funded by a trade association representing the makers of Butterfingers, Hershey and Skittles. And its findings were touted by the group even though one of its authors didn’t seem to think much of it.

“We’re hoping they can do something with it — it’s thin and clearly padded,” a professor of nutrition at Louisiana State University wrote to her co-author in early 2011, with an abstract for the paper attached.

The paper nevertheless served the interests of the candy industry — and that’s not unusual.

The comment was found in thousands of pages of emails obtained by The Associated Press through records requests with public universities as part of an investigation into how food companies influence thinking about healthy eating.

One of the industry’s most powerful tactics is the funding of nutrition research. It carries the weight of academic authority, becomes a part of scientific literature and generates headlines.

“Hot oatmeal breakfast keeps you fuller for longer,” declared a Daily Mail article on a study funded by Quaker Oats.

“Study: Diet beverages better for losing weight than water,” said a CBS Denver story about research funded by Coke and Pepsi’s lobbying group.

The studies have their defenders.

14-YEAR-OLD AUSTIN ASHER, AT RIGHT, AND HIS BROTHER DALTON ASHER, 13, are pictured Monday in Lawrence.

Austin is currently receiving chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, but the heart condition he was born with limits doctors’ options for his treatment. His aunt, Kasey Asher, is holding a softball tournament on Saturday to help raise funds for Austin’s fight against cancer. BELOW: Austin is pictured during a recent stay at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, Mo.

Ozawkie 14-year-old plays hardball with cancer

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

“T

he kid loves sports,” Kasey Asher says of her oldest nephew, 14-year-old Austin Asher, of Ozawkie. So what better arena to raise funds for his fight against cancer?

Kasey, with help from some relatives and friends, is planning a softball tournament Saturday to raise money for Austin and his family.

She and her siblings “pretty much grew up on the softball field,” Kasey said, and as a little boy, Austin’s favorite thing to do was “going out to the ball fields with Grandpa.” Concern that he might overexert himself meant he didn’t get to play, however.

Austin was born with

a heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. His mother, Kelly Copp, explained that usually with HLHS, the left side of the heart is underdeveloped — but for her son, “the left side did not develop.”

Austin had three openheart surgeries by the time he turned 3 in 2004.

Since then, he’s been doing great, Copp said, until he started getting sick in November.

Over a few months of doctor’s appointments and hospital stays, Austin was diagnosed with pneumonia multiple times, and each time he kept getting sicker, requiring more testing.

Finally in February, Austin was diagnosed with stage 4B Hodgkin lymphoma.

Hodgkin lymphoma typically has pretty high survival rates, Kasey said, but Austin’s heart

defect has a significant impact on his outlook.

Even just starting treatment, he has faced some major setbacks.

At the beginning of March, Austin started his first round of treatment for the cancer.

Within a couple of days he fell severely ill and had to be rushed to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Doctors discovered Austin had a staph infection from a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter, intended to make frequent IV treatments painless), shock, rhinovirus and typhlitis, a life-threatening condition often associated with the low levels of some types of white blood cells that are common in chemotherapy patients.

BRIEFLY Get healthy for fathers month Fathers’ Health Summer officially kicks off this month, so it’s a wonderful time to begin a new exercise and health program. June also is a time to celebrate fathers and fathers-to-be. Men need to care about their health above the waistline as well as below. At TherapyWorks, we are wishing vibrant health to all fathers and offer a few suggestions on staying well.

As you age, it’s important to protect your bones, joints and muscles. Not only do they support your body and help you move, but keeping bones, joints and muscles healthy can help ensure that you’re able to do your daily activities and be physically active. Research shows that doing aerobic, muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening physical activity of at least a moderately intense level can slow the loss of bone density that comes with age.

Regular physical activity helps with arthritis and other conditions affecting the joints. If you have arthritis, research shows that doing 130 to 150 minutes (2 hours and 10 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderateintensity, low-impact aerobic activity can not only improve your ability to manage pain and do everyday tasks, but it can also improve your quality of life.

Tilt up your rearview mirror, far enough to force yourself into an upright sitting position to see behind you, which is good for your posture and your aching back.

Vary your workouts. The body gets very comfortable when you always do the same workout. You have to keep varying your exercises, and they have to be an age-appropriate mix of aerobics, muscle training and stretching.

Care for your prostate. The prostate grows as you get older.

You’ll almost certainly have symptoms, such as urinary problems. A really healthy, low-fat diet will reduce the likelihood of prostate growth and may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Symptoms of all prostate problems include: needing to urinate often, especially at night; difficulty starting to urinate; straining to urinate or taking a long time to finish; pain when urinating or during sex.

Join us at 7 p.m.

ensure scientific integrity, and that academics have the right to publish no matter what they find.

Many in the research world also see industry funding as critical for advancing science as competition for government funding has intensified.

It’s not surprising that companies would pay for research likely to show the benefits of their products. But critics say the worry is that they’re hijacking science for marketing purposes, and that they cherry-pick or hype findings.

The thinner-childrenate-candy research is an example. It was drawn from a government database of surveys that asks people to recall what they ate in the past 24 hours. The data “may not reflect usual intake” and “cause and effect associations cannot be drawn,” the candy paper authors

. wrote in a section about the study’s limitations.

The candy association’s press release did not mention that and declared, “New study shows children and adolescents who eat candy are less overweight or obese.”

The headline at cbsnews.com: “Does candy keep kids from getting fat?”

Carol O’Neil, the LSU professor who made the “thin and clearly padded” remark, told The Associated Press through a university representative that data can be “publishable” even if it’s thin. In a phone interview a week later, she said she did not recall why she made the remark, but that it was a reference to the abstract she had attached for her co-author to provide feedback on. She said she believed the full paper was “robust.”

The flood of industry money in nutrition science partly reflects the field’s challenges. Isolating the effect of any single food on a person’s

Cancer

L awrence J ournal -W orld health can be difficult, as evidenced by the sea of conflicting findings.

The ambiguity and confusion has left the door open for marketers.

Since 2009, the authors of the candy paper have written more than two dozen papers funded by parties including Kellogg and industry groups for beef, milk and fruit juice.

Two are professors: O’Neil of LSU and Theresa Nicklas at the Baylor College of Medicine. The third is Victor Fulgoni, a former Kellogg executive and consultant whose website says he helps companies develop “aggressive, science-based claims about their products.”

Their studies regularly delivered favorable conclusions for funders — or as they call them, “clients.”

In a phone interview, Fulgoni said industryfunded studies show favorable results because companies invest in projects with the “best chance of success.” He

said any type of funding creates bias or pressure to deliver results.

“The same kind of questions you’re asking me, you should be asking (National Institutes of Health) researchers,” Fulgoni said.

It’s true that industryfunded studies don’t have a monopoly on the problems in scientific research. Still, Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University (and no relation to the food company) said unlike other research, industry-funded studies “are designed and produced to be useful in marketing. The hypotheses are market driven.”

In the past year, 156 of the 168 industry-funded studies Nestle reviewed showed favorable results for sponsors. She said playing up nutritional perks has become a critical marketing tool in the competitive food industry.

Boot Camp for New Dads is the nation’s largest program for expectant fathers, operating in 260 communities across 45 states.

More than 300,000 men have graduated from the program. Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Dads of Douglas County partnered to provide the program to get new dads connected and positively involved so they remain a strong and constructive force throughout their children’s lives.

For more information about the program, contact Dads of Douglas County at info@dadsofdouglascounty.org or 785-813-1846.

Registration for the Boot Camp workshop, which costs $10, is available at lmh.org for the following dates and times: l 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 18 (registration closes June 14) l 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 15

How does the boot camp work? l Men typically attend the workshop one to two months before their first baby arrives. l Dads-to-be ask questions, express concerns, and get hands-on time holding, changing, or feeding babies.

l Veteran dads answer questions, share their experiences and demonstrate burping, changing, swaddling, and troubleshooting a crying baby. l Coaches educate about parenting topics and facilitate discussion.

This combination — dads, dads-to-be and babies — in a room for three hours makes for great chemistry. The dads-to-be are all eyes and ears as they watch the veteran dads feed, burp, change, and care for their babies while hearing their experiences and advice. A strong sense of solidarity quickly develops between these men and peaks when the dads give their babies to the dads-to-be for hands-on training. There are few other opportunities for

Many possible causes of husband’s lack of interest Annie’s Mailbox

having an affair?

These are all possibilities that should be explored. Don’t be coy.

Ask him directly about each of these issues. You can offer to accompany him to his doctor to discuss it. But if he refuses talk about the probMarcy Sugar and to lem and will not seek Kathy Mitchell treatment of any kind, anniesmailbox@comcast.net your decision is whether you are better off with Do I stay or do I go? — him or without him the Lonely way he is.

Dear Lonely: Does your husband have other redeeming qualities or does the lack of intimacy trump everything else? Has he had a physical checkup? It could be a hormonal imbalance like low testosterone, or erectile dysfunction. Is he asexual? Is he gay and using the marriage to stay in the closet? Is he depressed? Has he lost interest in you? Is he

Travel keeps summer TV goofy Summer television has changed so much over the years. It’s good to see that some time-honored, time-wasting traditions continue. It used to be that, once we put Memorial Day in our rearview mirror, a flood of series and specials about roller coasters, boardwalks and hotdogs would arrive. It was as if there was nothing else new to watch on TV until Shark Week arrived. Because, for a long time, there wasn’t.

For old times’ sake, viewers can take in “Bert the Conqueror” (7 p.m., Travel, TVPG). This more than slightly goofy series features professional fun-seeker and travel enthusiast Bert Kreischer as he takes on the tallest, scariest and most adrenaline-inducing rides over 14 summer episodes.

Bert begins his conquests in New England. In the first “Bert,” he tackles the Wicked Cyclone, located in Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. Then he’s off to Maine for something called a Lobster Crate Race. In the next episode (7:30 p.m.), he pits himself in a race against cheese.

Is it just me, or does Shark Week show up earlier every year? This summer, the Discovery Channel tradition arrives on June 26.

O Steve Martin and Tina Fey appear on “Maya and Marty” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). Imagine that, four veterans of “Saturday Night Live” appearing on a show produced by Lorne Michaels!

Watching folks from the same show and network cracking each other up, I can’t help but be reminded of Short’s stint on SCTV. That brilliant series was set in a fictional network in the middle of nowhere, also known as Melonville, located somewhere in Canada, where every show seemed to be a plug for another network series and featured virtually the same cast of characters who were far more intent on interacting with each other than entertaining an audience. In some ways, the sendup of banal insider-dom on “SCTV” was at least three decades ahead of its time.

That said, “Maya” didn’t do too badly in its debut last Tuesday, drawing the largest number of viewers age 18-49 for a network show in its time slot and nearly attracting as many total viewers as “Person of Interest.”

Tonight’s other highlights

O Coverage (7 p.m., CNN) of

the New Jersey and California primaries begins, resumes, or never ends, depending on your point of view.

O Auditions continue on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O A murdered whistle-blower harbored evidence of a war crime on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

Dear Annie: “Mom of Three’’ sounds like my husband’s mother.

“Mom’’ said that ever since her son married, he spends all of his time with his wife’s family and she rarely sees him. There may be significant reasons why her son doesn’t want to visit, and it may have nothing to do with his wife.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ Others experience a similar sense of pressure and tension to what you currently feel.

At 50, my husband still has serious scars, both physical and mental. His mother is in total denial of her son’s abusive upbringing. Whenever he mentions it, she scolds him for talking about family matters and quickly changes the subject.

The facade his family presents to others is totally superficial. He can barely tolerate being in their presence and often makes excuses to avoid contact with them. — His Wife

Dear Annie: My husband does not like to have any physical contact whatsoever, except for a peck hello or goodbye. He does not like to be touched.

There is no cuddling.

We don’t have sex.

There is nothing.

We’ve been married for eight years, and I can guarantee that we had more sex prior to our wedding than we’ve had since. I have never met anyone like this.

I long for an intimate relationship. Whenever we had sex, it was because I initiated it or complained that we never had sex. It’s been eight months now and I just don’t have it in me to try anymore. And he obviously doesn’t miss it.

We’ve attempted counseling, but it was short-lived. He never has given any reason as to why he is this way.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL CAMP

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Don’t bet on Kansas to go over or under

Confident D

A year ago, oddsmakers put the over/under for Kansas University football victories at 1.5, and I urged readers who might find themselves in front of a window in Las Vegas to jump through it with a fist full of cash and plunk it down on the under.

It was as easy a call as I could ever recall given that the Jayhawks were operating with sub-Football Championship Subdivision scholarship numbers, a brand-new coaching staff and precious little talent and experience, especially in the blocking department.

Once South Dakota State pulled out a close call in the season-opener in Memorial Stadium, those who bet the under had no reason to sweat the rest of the way, even when the Jayhawks overachieved Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo against TCU yet again, only FREE STATE JUNIOR GAGE FOSTER (5) GETS A SHOULDER INTO TOPEKA’S STEPHEN CARTER on Monday during Kansas University’s football to lose en route to an 0-12 camp. season.

COMING WEDNESDAY

Extra rest day good for Cavs Cleveland (ap) — Under the long-used former NBA Finals format, Game 3 of this Golden State-Cleveland matchup would have been played tonight.

Not this year, thanks to an extra rest day.

And the Cavaliers are probably celebrating that.

The Eastern Conference champions need as much time as they can get to try to figure out a way back into these finals. They’ve used LeBron James as a ballhandler and as a center, they’ve played at different speeds, they’ve tried different lineups.

There have been moments of success — just not enough to make this a series.

As such, the Warriors are two wins from back-to-back championships. Golden State will try to take a 3-0 lead in this finals rematch when the series resumes in Cleveland on Wednesday night.

“The next couple days, I won’t be reflecting,” James said. “I’ll figure out ways I can be better.”

That certainly sounds good, given that James at his best is probably still better than any player in the world. Problem is, James is already averaging close to a triple-double in this series — so he’s already plenty productive. And the Cavaliers are down 0-2 despite keeping Warriors’ sharpshooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in check so far.

Regardless, Golden State won Game 1 by 15, then rolled in Game 2 on Sunday night by 33. That plus-48 combined margin adds up to the most one-sided first two games of the finals ever.

“They’re just a better team right now,” acknowledged Cleveland guard J.R. Smith, who managed a combined eight points in Games 1 and 2.

Adding to the tough spot the Cavaliers are in is the status of forward Kevin Love, who is now in the NBA’s concussion protocol after taking himself out of Game 2. Love caught an elbow from Harrison Barnes in the back of the head during the first half, and left in the third quarter when symptoms of a concussion started to present themselves.

If Love can’t go, the Cavaliers might have no choice but to reinvent themselves with their realistic title hopes hanging by a thread. Going to a bigger lineup — probably meaning giving all-but-forgotten center Timofey Mozgov some minutes that matter — could be the only real card Cavs coach Tyronn Lue has left to play.

“They’ll probably play with a little more energy,” Thompson said. “That’s natural when you go home. Probably with a sense of desperation.”

James has faced 0-2 deficits four times before, all during his first stint in Cleveland. He and the Cavs lost in seven games to Detroit in the 2006 second round, rallied to beat Detroit in six games in the 2007 East finals, got swept by San Antonio in that season’s NBA Finals, and lost in seven games to Boston in the 2008 second round.

KURT BUSCH CELEBRATES WITH HIS TEAM IN VICTORY LANE after winning the Sprint Cup race Monday at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa.

Gas gamble pays for Kurt Busch at Pocono Long Pond, Pa. — Kurt Busch felt like a game show contestant who had to beat the clock to win a prize.

Told his Chevrolet was two laps shy of having enough fuel for the finishing push, Busch did all he could to save, scrimp and stretch over the final five laps to give himself a shot at the win. He coasted, he kept his foot off the gas, and he even turned his engine off when he headed into the turns at Pocono Raceway.

“I kept finding ways to think I was saving fuel,” he said. “The way the fuel mileage played out, I didn’t know if we’d have enough.”

With an interim crew chief calling the shots, Busch found enough ways to make his gas last and won the Sprint Cup race Monday, his first victory of the season and a welcome dose of good news for Stewart-Haas Racing.

The 2004 champion, urged by his team to step on it hard for the final lap, somehow made it work on a track with the longest frontstretch in motorsports. There was no pain at the pump: Busch not only had enough fuel left to win but enough for victory burnouts and a celebratory lap around the track.

“I was like, whoa, how many laps shy are we? They said two,” he said. “These are really long straightaways at Pocono, and you have to manage saving fuel as well as maintaining lap time. So many thoughts can go through your head, but I just stuck with the checklist.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, and Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott and Joey Logano rounded out the top five in a race postponed one day because of rain.

Busch won with interim crew chief Johnny Klausmeier, the lead engineer, calling the shots as Tony Gibson served a one-race suspension.

Busch had quietly been having a solid season for SHR, posting four top-five finishes and 11 top 10s in 13 starts entering the race. He had reeled off seven straight top 10s — he graded his season an A-minus — but didn’t have the win he needed to earn a sport in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Busch led 32 laps in winning his 28th career Cup race, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famer Rex White for 25th on NASCAR’s career wins list. He also has three wins at Pocono with three different teams. He became the ninth driver to win a race this season.

BASKETBALL

Curry won’t play in Olympics Stephen Curry has withdrawn from consideration from the Olympics, leaving the U.S. basketball team without the NBA’s MVP. Curry said Monday in a statement that he has decided to pull out for “several factors — including recent ankle and knee injuries.”

He didn’t say what the other factors were that he referenced. Several athletes have expressed concerns about the water situation in Rio and the Zika virus.

The guard is the highest-profile absence for the two-time defending gold medalists, who will already be without NBA All-Stars Chris Paul and Anthony Davis.

Curry has won a pair of world titles with the Americans and was a starter when they won the 2014 Basketball World Cup. He had spoken of wanting the chance to win Olympic gold, but missed six games in the postseason because of a right knee injury.

“My previous experiences with USA Basketball have been incredibly rewarding, education-

al and enjoyable, which made this an extremely difficult decision for me and my family,” Curry said. “However, due to several factors — including recent ankle and knee injuries — I believe this is the best decision for me at this stage of my career.”

The Americans have a list of 31 players in their roster pool for this summer — and plan to name their 12-man roster later this month.

NFL

Talib released from hospital Englewood, Colo. — Star cornerback Aqib Talib was released from a Dallas hospital on Monday amid reports suggesting he may have accidentally shot himself.

Talib was discharged from Medical City Hospital after being treated for a gunshot wound to his right leg. He was returning to Denver after missing his teammates’ visit to the White House on Monday to commemorate their win in Super Bowl 50.

Although he didn’t require surgery and the Broncos believe he will make a full recovery, it’s unlikely Talib — a former Kansas University standout — will practice again until training camp. The team’s mandatory minicamp starts today, and the final slate of offseason practices is next week.

While police continue to investigate the shooting and have made no arrests in the case, KUSA-TV in Denver reported Monday that Talib has told people close to him he accidentally shot himself.

That harkens to the case of former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a New York nightclub shortly after he won the Super Bowl. He served 20 months in prison on a gun charge.

Talib told police he had been hanging out at a park with friends when he was shot early Sunday morning. But detectives are looking into whether Talib was actually shot at the Vlive nightclub where two other people were shot by an unknown suspect in a disturbance about the same time.

WFAA-TV in Dallas said Talib told police he was too intoxicated to remember exactly what happened when he got shot.

The bullet entered his right thigh and exited his right calf, according to the police report.

Such a trajectory might suggest a self-inflicted wound.

Talib is coming off his third consecutive Pro Bowl season, one in which broke up 13 passes and intercepted three, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

SOFTBALL

OU one win from Series title Oklahoma City — Sydney Romero’s threerun homer gave Oklahoma a 3-2 victory over Auburn and put the Sooners a win away from their third national championship in softball.

Romero, a freshman, sent a pitch from Auburn’s Lexi Davis into the seats just left of center field with two outs in the third inning.

Auburn’s Jade Rhodes hit a home run in the top of the seventh to cut Oklahoma’s lead to 3-2. With one out and runners on second and third, Auburn’s Courtney Shea sent a hard shot down the first-base line, but Oklahoma’s Shay Knighten threw out pinch runner Casey McCrackin at home. Tiffany Howard then popped out to end the game.

Penguins move to brink of title with 3-1 win San Jose, Calif. (ap) — Bounce-back performances from two key players moved the Pittsburgh Penguins to the brink of winning the Stanley Cup. Evgeni Malkin scored his first goal of the series and Matt Murray made 23 saves after a shaky Game 3 to lead the Penguins to a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on

Monday night for a 3-1 series lead.

Malkin woke up after being held pointless in the first three games of the series by setting up Ian Cole’s goal to open the scoring. He added one of his own on the power play to give Murray all the support needed.

Eric Fehr sealed it with a late goal after San Jose made a strong push in the third.

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

Two nights after allowing a soft game-tying goal to Joel Ward, Murray was steady throughout to put the Penguins one win from skating off with their fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history. They can do it at home in Game 5 on Thursday night.

The Sharks were unable to build on their first win in the final, allowing the first goal for

the fourth straight game and going more than nine minutes without a shot on goal during one stretch of the second period. San Jose will need to win in Pittsburgh to give its loyal fans who waited 25 years to watch the Stanley Cup Final in the Bay Area another home game.

Melker Karlsson scored the lone goal, and Martin Jones made 17 saves for San Jose.

Royals drop fifth straight Baltimore (ap) — Danny Duffy certainly pitched well enough to get Kansas City a victory.

Unfortunately for the Royals, there has been a common theme lately with their offense, and it was all too apparent Monday night.

“The bats are a little silent right now,” manager Ned Yost said after the defending World Series champions managed only five hits in a 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

After Duffy (1-1) blanked the hard-hitting Orioles for six innings, Kansas City took a 1-0 lead with an unearned run in the seventh.

But Mark Trumbo led off the bottom half with a home run, and Matt Wieters connected with one out to send the Royals to their fifth straight defeat.

The skid comes after Kansas City won six in a row to climb temporarily into first place in the AL Central.

“That’s the funny thing about this game,” Yost said. “You couldn’t have been any hotter than we were five days ago. Now,

every day and keep plugging away.”

BOX SCORE

Duffy gave up five hits in 61⁄3 innings and matched his career high with nine strikeouts.

“I feel I really made one bad pitch: That was to Wieters,” the lefthander said.

After Duffy left, Adam Jones capped the Baltimore seventh with an RBI double. Manny Machado homered off Kelvin Herrera in the eighth after striking out three times against Duffy.

Paulo Orlando and Cheslor Cuthbert hit singles in the Kansas City seventh before Jarrod Dyson chopped a grounder to Machado at shortstop. After Jonathan Schoop got the force at second base, he changed his mind about throwing to first while his arm was in motion.

He released the ball, which bounced off the right elbow of the sliding Cuthbert and rolled away, allowing Orlando to score.

Cuthbert left because of a bruised elbow.

“Everything is going to be OK. It just hit my crazy bone,” Cuthbert said.

Arkansas RB eyeing transfer to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When Arkansas running back Denzel Evans realized earlier this year that he was within striking distance of graduating, the idea of moving on to play his final two seasons of college football elsewhere really began to appeal to him.

The 5-foot-11, 217-pound junior-to-be from Houston has nothing against Arkansas or the coaching staff there, but spent most of the past three seasons in reserve role after signing with the Razorbacks as a three-star prospect out of high school. Buried on the depth chart during the 2015 season, Evans appeared in six games and logged just six carries for 48 yards.

During that time, he continued to work to develop his game.

The reason? He wanted to be ready when the next opportunity came.

That moment never popped at Arkansas, but it may soon arrive at Kansas University.

After reconnecting with KU wide-receivers coach Jason Phillips and developing a relationship with KU recruiting coordinator Kenny Perry, Evans visited KU last weekend and saw everything he needed to see to

“They (teens) don’t really know what else to do. It’s gangs or nothing,” Little said. “They’re tearing down schools and stuff. There’s not a lot of opportunities. There were opportunities for me, camps and stuff like that I fell in love with that changed my mindset as far as the streets and stuff.”

Little actually might make the bold step of making Chicago his offseason home.

“I was looking at an apartment there,” he said.

“I may stay out here. It’s a little cheaper, and I’m only here three months (during offseason).”

Since leaving KU, Little has played in the NBA Developmental League for Tulsa and Oklahoma City and also toiled in Ukraine and Spain.

“If I’m not Michael

believe Lawrence was the right place for him.

“Facilities, flashiness, all that stuff played a part when I was being recruited in high school,” Evans told the Journal-World on Monday night. “But now, as long as they have a weight room and I can put in good work, that’s all that matters. I had never been to Kansas before, and just seeing their weight room and knowing the improvement that’s coming with the locker room, that didn’t play a role in my decision but it was still cool to see how nice everything is there.”

Although nothing is official yet, Evans said he had no doubts about his future plans.

“It’s as done as it’s gonna be without me signing,” he said of attending KU. “I just want to focus on school, develop my game and be ready to go when I touch down in Lawrence.”

Evans plans to arrive on campus in early August in time for preseason camp.

If he can finish a heavy load of classes this summer at Arkansas, Evans will be eligible to play at KU immediately and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

He currently is taking 12 hours during the June summer session and will

take six more during the July session.

Asked to put odds on the chances of graduating this summer, Evans did not hesitate to answer.

“There’s no question about it,” he said. “After the second summer session, I’ll be done. No summer for me. It’s all work right now. I’ll have plenty of free time later in life.”

Although Evans did most of the legwork for this transition on his own, he fell into a little help from a former KU assistant coach now on staff at Arkansas.

“Once I really started looking into Kansas, I reached out to coach (Reggie) Mitchell and asked him a few things,” Evans said of the longtime KU running-backs coach who left for Arkansas in January.

“What’s the environment like, how’s campus life, how’s everybody treated, are they invested in football? It was all positive comments that he gave me.”

A self-described onecut runner with great hands, Evans’ addition would be significant for a KU team that lacks depth at the running-back position.

What, for years, had been one of the deepest positions on the KU

Jordan, it’s not where I thought it (career) would be when I was a little kid. It’s life. You’ve got to bounce back and continue,” Little said. “I was popular over there (team is based 20 miles south of Seoul). My team did well (34-28 record and spot in Korean League semifinals). They want me to come back.

It may not be ideal, but, I mean, it’s good somebody wants you to come back. It paid really, really good money,” Little added. “That aspect is OK. As far as being close to the NBA or playing in the NBA, it’s not the same. That will never be the same.”

Little said there are obvious differences between being a college basketball player and pro. He was the only starter from the U.S. on his squad.

“You go from Kansas, where everybody, from the first guy to the last guy, is being treated like an NBA guy or like a god,” he said. “It changes. Un-

less you go on a platform and do more amazing things (in pros), things probably are going to not be the same. It’s a fast life out there. You come back here and you get to chill.

You get to relive the innocent part of basketball.

It’s always good to come back here, get to see coach (Bill Self), relive some of the moments.”

He’s looking forward to playing some pick-up basketball with members of KU’s current team and also play in Self’s campers game Wednesday.

“I’m a little out of shape. Don’t critique me too bad,” Little said with a smile. l

Jerseys: KU announced jersey numbers for the newcomers on Monday. Josh Jackson will wear No. 11 (senior guard Tyler Self switches from 11 to 20); Udoka Azubuike No. 35 (first No. 35 since Jerod Haase in 1997); Evan Maxwell No. 55; and Mitch Lightfoot No. 44.

depth chart quickly has become one of the thinnest, with only returning starter Ke’aun Kinner having logged any legitimate game action. Sophomores Taylor Martin and Ryan Schadler have game experience, but neither received much work at running back last season. Freshman Khalil Herbert, a two-star back from Plantation, Fla., also will give the Jayhawks depth at a spot at which coaches often say a team cannot have too much.

But there’s a big difference between an incoming freshman like Herbert and a 21-year-old veteran like Evans, who said he planned to wear No. 23 with the Jayhawks.

News of Evans’ decision to join the Jayhawks actually broke on Twitter, where his brother and then his girlfriend tweeted out their excitement. Evans laughed when asked about their support and added that he would not let anything shake his focus.

“I keep myself levelheaded because, at the end of the day, I know if I don’t finish strong here, there won’t be any Kansas,” he said. “But I also know that I’m going into a great situation where I’ll be able to compete for playing time and possibly even a starting spot, and I’m really looking forward to it.”

NBA workout: Former KU forwards Perry Ellis and Hunter Mickelson worked out for the Boston Celtics on Monday in advance of the June 23 NBA Draft. l

Simien tutors Lucas: KU senior forward Landen Lucas had his first summer workout with former KU All America forward Wayne Simien on Monday morning.

“I was able to pick his brain about different moves and countermoves,” Lucas said. “It really puts your mind at ease when you are out there, instead of you over-thinking things to do if you are repetitively working on different things. He has so many tips and tricks if I can scratch the surface of what he was able to do offensively, it can really help my game,” added Lucas, who was guest speaker Monday at Bill Self’s camp for youths.

Baker golfer Mateer honored

Baker University senior women’s golfer Lindsey Mateer has been named a 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-American, earning a spot on the College Division Women’s At-Large Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The at-large program for CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica program includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo, bowing, crew, field hockey, men’s volleyball and wrestling.

“The announcement of recent Baker University graduate Lindsey Mateer being named a 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-American validates Lindsey’s quality of personal character, intellect, scholarship and athlete accomplishment’s,” Baker University men’s and Frontier League women’s golf coach Karen Exon said. soccer listed “She exemplifies her Several area athletes teammates past and presearned spots on the Allent, and her accomplishFrontier League girls socment speaks volumes for cer team. the personal, academic De Soto High senior Bai- and athlete expectations of ley Billings, juniors Tanith Baker, our athletics departBeal, Tarah Phongsavath ment and golf programs.

bring them along. Help them out because it’s still new to them.”

Wearing helmets and shoulder pads, but no football pants with knee pads, coaches blew their whistles to prevent tackles and potential injuries, urging players to stay on their feet.

But that didn’t stop every hit. Free State senior cornerback Zack Sanders pumped up his sideline when he drilled a receiver with his shoulder, earning a warning from his coaches.

With a core group of returners on defense — Kema, Sanders, Dineen and safety Zion Bowlin — the Firebirds expect to pick up where they left off last season. They blew up plenty of plays in the backfield Monday, though defenses are usually ahead of offenses at this point in the offseason.

“Oh yeah, I think our defense will be really good,” said Dineen, who has orally committed to play at KU. “We have a couple of spots to fill. A couple of things to work on. But it just comes with practice. We have the whole summer to go.”

Facing some of the top scoring offenses in the state, the Firebirds only allowed 13.7 points per game in their final seven

contests. That included two shutouts against high-powered offenses, the school’s first shutouts since 2012.

“I think defensively we became a pretty good football team last year,” Free State coach Bob Lisher said. “We need to carry that over because we always pride ourselves on having a great defense.”

Kema was one of the players who thrived at the end of last season once he learned the ins and outs of the defensive line.

“Last year, I felt like I was a little undersized but I knew I could play the position,” Kema said.

“I just worked really hard over the offseason and I’m just going to continue to work over the summer and see how good I can do. I just want to help out the team as much as I can.”

After a weeklong team camp in only helmets, the Firebirds were excited to take a few steps closer to full speed.

“I feel like our defense will do good,” Kema said.

“We’re just working hard at it. That’s all we can really do.”

Lisher added: “Last week was more fundamentals and learning.

This week, they get to put that to the test a little bit and try to improve on that. We’ll put this on film. We played some quality competition today and we’ll get to look at it on film and see where we can improve.”

American League

ning, Aroldis Chapman quickly returned to form, and New York rallied past Los Angeles.

The Yankees returned from a 4-6 road trip by beating the Angels for the sixth straight time at home.

Beltran was the first batter Jose Alvarez faced after relieving starter Matt Shoemaker. Twoout singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner prompted the Angels to go to their bullpen, and Beltran struck for his 14th homer.

Andrew Miller (3-0) struck out Kole Calhoun, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols in order in the eighth.

Chapman, who blew a save chance for the first time this season Sunday in Baltimore, pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save.

Brian McCann and Starlin Castro hit back-toback home runs off Shoemaker (3-7) with two outs in the Yankees seventh, tying it at 2.

Indians 3, Mariners 1 Seattle — Trevor Bauer pitched 71⁄3 strong innings, and Rajah Davis homered to lead Cleveland to its sixth straight victory.

Bauer (4-2) gave up one run while scattering five hits. He walked one and struck out 10 to earn his first victory since May 10. Bryan Shaw got the final two outs in the eighth, and Cody Allen worked the ninth to pick up his 12th save in 13 opportunities.

It’s the longest win streak for the Indians since Aug. 25-31 and extended their lead over Kansas City in the AL Central to 21⁄2 games.

James Paxton (0-2) took the loss for the Mariners, who have dropped four straight. He allowed all three runs — just one earned — on five hits. He walked one and struck Women’s World Series Championship Series out 10 in six innings.
