Tax hike or staff cuts? City faces difficult choice

A LOOK AT KU’S NEW UNION

———

City manager says either or both will be needed in light of $1.3M deficit

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Before the 2017 budget is adopted this summer, the Lawrence City Commission will face the decision to either raise property taxes or cut costs from the city’s budget, which would mean eliminating some city staff.

City Manager Tom Markus told commissioners about the dilemma Tuesday during a budget work session. Without a

ith this article, I think I now will have shared with you at some point or another images of all the main new buildings that are up or will go up in Kansas University’s Central District, and around the perimeter of it.

The latest images, which I requested from KU Memorial Unions, are of the new Central

District student union and next-door integrated science building.

They will be constructed just west of where the Burge Union stood; the 280,000-squarefoot science building will be on Irving Hill Road, with the 30,000-square-foot union between it and Anschutz Sports Pavilion. They’re slated for completion in summer 2018, in time to open

for fall 2018 classes.

One observation about the look of the Central District: A lot of new buildings going up at once it is, architectural variety it isn’t.

Not that I actually expected any stone buildings with grotesques, owls and relief sculpture — a la Dyche, Spooner and Twente halls in KU’s historic district along

“I have more demands than I have funds to provide those things,” Markus said. “There’s the option of raising taxes, cutting expenses, or some sort of hybrid. We need to do it one way or another. I need to have a balanced budget.”

Defense argues sex was consensual in Haskell dorm rape trial

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

The woman accusing two former Haskell Indian Nations University students of raping her wasn’t one to show much emotion, her best friend told jurors Tuesday afternoon.

But in the early-morning hours of Nov. 15, 2014, the woman — then a 19-year-old freshman at the school — was found in her dormitory shower, crying, her friend said.

“She was speaking slowly and she started crying and she was shaking,” she said.

On Tuesday, the woman and her friend both testified during the criminal trial of one of the two men accused of the crime.

The suspect currently on trial is 20 years old and faces two felony rape charges and one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy. The second suspect is 21 years old and faces felony counts of aiding and abetting

said. Both she, her friend and the suspects lived on the second floor. The group spent a significant amount of time that evening and morning in the suspects’ room.

As the morning progressed, well past the dormitory’s 2 a.m. curfew, the victim was left alone with the two suspects in their dorm room, she said. At first she thought nothing of the turn of events because they were all friends, but then the 21-year-old suspect locked the room’s door, turned out the lights and went to kiss the woman, she said.

“I pushed him away, told him, ‘cut it out, stop,’” she said. “He started pushing himself on me and being more aggressive.”

The woman asked the 20-year-old suspect for help, thinking he was

asleep, she said. He then approached and held her down as his roommate raped her, she said. The assault continued for several more minutes before the woman was able to leave the room, she said.

After leaving the suspects’ room, the woman went to shower before her friends found her and heard about the incident, she said. They then called police, who arrived on the scene and took her to the hospital.

The two suspects were arrested that day and later released from the Douglas County Jail after each posted a $75,000 bond. Both were expelled from the school after the incident.

The trial, which is scheduled to last eight days, is scheduled to continue at 9 a.m. today.

The trial for the 21-yearold suspect is scheduled to begin July 25.

Wichita — Kansas must begin registering thousands of eligible voters for federal elections who have not provided proof of citizenship under a federal court order that has complicated the state’s elections less than a month before early voting begins for its primary.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office issued instructions to county election officials late Tuesday to register those motor voter applicants without citizenship documentation to vote — but only in the federal races for President and U.S. Senate and U.S. House. Those guidelines come in the wake of a 10th Circuit Court of Appeals decision last week that re- Kobach fused to temporarily block a federal judge’s order.

Early voting begins July 13 for the state’s primary election in August.

In addition to the presidential race on the November ballot, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran and all four of his Kansas colleagues in the House are up for re-election.

“I don’t think it will be an insurmountable issue.

It is mostly tell us what we are to do and we will do it and we will do it in a timely fashion,” said Ronnie Metsker, election commissioner for Johnson County, the state’s most populous county in the Kansas City suburbs.

the Caribbean. Another type of mosquito known for spreading the virus, the Aedes albopictus, has also been found in the area, according to Christopher Rogers, who monitors mosquito populations for the Kansas Biological Survey.

“Basically, I’ve got it pretty much everywhere in the county,” Rogers said, noting that so far he has only found the Aedes aegypti in Lawrence, but that it may also occur other places in Douglas County.

The presence of the Aedes mosquitoes only makes transmission possible, not guaranteed. For a mosquito to transmit the virus, there would need to be an infected person present in the area. Out of the about 700 Zika cases in the United States — all of which are from people traveling to countries where Zika is prevalent — only two are in Kansas, according to the CDC. Ens said there are currently no cases of Zika reported in Douglas County.

Zika is especially worrisome because it can cause severe birth defects if a pregnant woman is infected. Zika infection during pregnancy can cause a condition called microcephaly, which results in babies being born with abnormally small heads and severe brain defects,

“

To the extent there is confusion that lies squarely with Secretary Kobach.”

— Micah Kubic, executive director of the ACLU of Kansas Court of Appeals refused last week to temporarily stay U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson’s order.

She ruled last month that the burden for election officials pales in comparison to disenfranchising more than 18,000 otherwise eligible voters whose registrations at motor vehicle offices have been cancelled or suspended.

Robinson’s order strikes a blow to a Kansas law that since January 2013 has required its residents to provide documentary proof U.S. citizenship such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers in order to register to vote.

Nearly 44 percent of voters who registered in Kansas in the last 10 years did so at motor vehicle offices, court documents show. That compares to fewer than 1 percent who register to vote using a federal voter registration form that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 states must accept for federal elections.

Kobach has not responded to numerous calls and emails seeking comment since the appeals court ruling came down.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the lawsuit, said the confusion over Kan-

according to the CDC. The map published by the CDC shows that Douglas, Johnson, Shawnee and Wyandotte counties all are in the highest category for the Zika mosquitoes. More specifically, the map indicates that scientists have found the mosquito during three or more years in the past two decades.

However, Rogers said that information could be misleading because specific monitoring for the two Aedes mosquitoes that can carry Zika only began this year. Before that, the Aedes mosquitoes were only recorded coincidentally in traps designed to catch other species of mosquito, such as those that carry the West Nile virus.

“With the start of the mosquito season, we have been doing additional specialized trapping that focuses on those two species that have the potential to carry Zika,” Rogers said. “In the past, there wasn’t a lot of information about those two species because they weren’t medically important in the state.”

Beginning to regularly track the two types of mosquito that can carry Zika will be important going forward, Rogers said.

“At this time, Zika virus, as far as we know, is not in transmission in mosquitoes in Kansas, but if it does happen, we need to know what the mosquitoes are doing now before there is a problem,” Rogers explained.

Both types of Aedes

sas elections is a problem of Kobach’s own making.

“To the extent there is confusion that lies squarely with Secretary Kobach,” said Micah Kubic, executive director of the ACLU of Kansas.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said he began Monday identifying the nearly 1,000 motor voter registrants affected in his county, which includes Kansas University. He has already prepared a federal-only ballot.

The most vital thing, he said, is for his election office to be prepared to implement whatever rulings come down in the way that is the least confusing for voters.

“My job is not to decide policy, my job is to implement the law for the voter,” he said.

Kobach instituted a two-tiered system for the 2014 elections after the federal courts refused to order the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to change the federal voter registration form to require proof of citizenship for Kansas residents.

Earlier this year that a state judge found Kobach has no authority to bar voters who use a national voter registration form from casting ballots in local and state elections. The Shawnee County judge in that state case ruled that the right to vote is not tied to the method of registration.

mosquitoes prefer biting humans and are active during the day. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes, according to the CDC. The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Ens said one of the health department’s prevention efforts is educating those who have traveled to areas where Zika is prevalent on how to avoid transmitting it. Because most people who have Zika don’t have any symptoms, travelers need to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes for at least two weeks after returning home, Ens said.

“We would instruct them that if they’re going to go outside they need to use repellent also, so if there is an Aedes mosquito out there, that it wouldn’t bite them and then be able to transmit the infection,” Ens said.

Zika can be transmitted sexually for up to six months, so travelers also should not have unprotected sex to avoid transmitting to another person, Ens said.

Ens said the health department is providing information about Zika to area health care providers and more details are also available on the department’s website at ldchealth.org.

Board of Education: Transgender issues best handled locally

Catching a break

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas State Board of Education issued a unanimous statement Tuesday, asserting that Kansas schools have been successfully handling issues involving transgender students at the local level for years, and that’s the way the state board wants to keep it.

“In Kansas, like many other states, our schools have been addressing transgender student needs with sensitivity and success for

many years, the statement reads. “Just as every child is unique, so to is every school community. With that understanding, we are firm in our belief that the decisions about the care, safety and wellbeing of all students are best made by the local school district based on the needs and desires of the students, parents and communities they serve.”

Committees to hear public comment on school finance

Parks and Rec seeks input on 10-year plan

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence Parks and Recreation is creating a new, 10-year master plan, and it’s looking for more input on what residents want and need recreationally.

Parks and Rec Director Ernie Shaw told the department’s advisory board Tuesday that questionnaires will be mailed to 4,000 households this week for a random, statistically valid survey.

GreenPlay LLC, a city-hired consulting firm, will review the results and present them to a committee formed to update the master plan.

Parks and Rec’s current master plan was adopted in 2000.

GreenPlay is hoping to have the survey results ready for a July 12 meeting with committee members. The following day, July 13, committee members and the Parks and Rec advisory board will meet to put recommendations together for what the mas-

Lawrence will also put a survey online for anyone to take. It will go up June 23 and be available through July 3. The online responses will be included in a final report.

‘Historic’ overhaul of accreditation system set to begin

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — In a vote that some described as “historic,” the Kansas State Board of Education voted Tuesday to begin a complete overhaul of the way the state accredits public schools and holds them accountable for meeting performance goals.

On a vote of 8-2, the board agreed to officially scrap the current system, known as Quality Performance Accreditation, or QPA, which has been in place since 1992, and to begin implementing a new system called “Kansas Education Systems Accreditation,” or KESA. “This is the most important thing we do,” said board chairman Jim McNiece, a Wichita Republican. “Most people don’t see it. Historically, it’s at the root of why we have a state

Historically, it’s at the root of why we Also, districts will be accredtions if they failed to come up to standards. Eventually, schools ited on five-year cycles instead have a state board: accreditation of our schools.”

— Jim McNiece, Kansas State Board of Education chairman board: accreditation of our schools.”

Kansas lawmakers directed the state board to adopt the QPA system in 1992. It was part of the same bill that also overhauled the school finance system, shifting primary responsibility for funding schools to the Legislature and adopting a uniform, per-pupil funding formula that was financed through a uniform statewide property tax levy.

QPA was based on a growing trend in education theory at the time that held that schools should be judged based largely on student outcomes, rather

than on the basis of various “inputs” such as the size of their libraries or their student-teacher ratios.

The federal government later adopted a similar model under the No Child Left Behind law, which made student test scores a condition for receiving federal education money.

Under those programs, individual schools were graded largely on the basis of how well students performed on standardized tests and how much improvement the schools demonstrated over time.

Schools that failed to meet certain benchmarks were placed

And it appeared to strike a balance between those board members who wanted to rebuke those guidelines as an infringement on local control of local schools and those who wanted to make sure the rights of transgender students are protected.

Those guidelines say that in all aspects of education, transgender students should be allowed to use restrooms and locker rooms and to participate in extracurricular activities that correspond to their gender identity, even if that’s different from the gender listed on their birth certificates.

Those guidelines, in turn, came in response to litigation, primarily between the federal government and the state of North Carolina, which recently passed a law that says, among other things, that in all government buildings, including public schools, people may only use restrooms and chang-

Parks and Rec will present the plan to the City Commission in September and return to the commission in October for a vote on it, Shaw said.

Lawrence residents told GreenPlay and Parks and Rec staff at two public meetings earlier this year what they want to see prioritized for park facilities. GreenPlay has also hosted more than a dozen focus groups.

Some ideas mentioned at one of those meetings included adding more “pocket parks,” building a multi-use sports court and offering more activities directed at teens and tweens.

In other business: l The Parks and Rec advisory board received a report Tuesday on Sports Pavilion Lawrence, which opened 18 months ago.

“Districts that I talk to have all been successfully handling this since before North Carolina filed a lawsuit,” McNiece said.

“These guys are late to the party and now they want to tell you what to do.”

Scott Gordon, general counsel for the Kansas State Department of Education, said the Kansas Association of School Boards and the National Association of School Boards have been giving the same advice to districts about issues involving transgender students for years.

That basically calls for school administrators to meet students declaring themselves to be transgender, along with their parents, and work out accommodations that make the student comfortable.

He said the Kansas State High School Activities Association has adopted a similar policy regarding transgender students who participate in extracurricular sports and activities.

Frequently, Gordon said, that results in allowing the student to use a single, private unisex restroom or changing facility, although the new federal guidelines prohibit schools from requiring transgender students to use separate, private facilities.

“Most often, the last person who wants you to know there’s a transgender student is the transgender student,” Gordon said.

Earlier in the meeting, Topeka school board member Peg McCarthy made the same argument when she urged the board to leave the issue alone.

She said the Topeka school district adopted a policy more than a year ago that is substantially the same as the Obama administration’s guidelines, and the district has had no problems with it.

“Frankly, students seem to be less concerned and more accepting than adults,” said McCarthy, who is a licensed clinical psychologist. “They repeatedly tell me the

This year, average attendance to Sports Pavilion Lawrence has been 57,247 each month, and 2,629 people are participating in classes there. l Board members received a report on how Park and Rec’s recreation division performed in May. The division earned $618,812, which Assistant Director Mark Hecker said was “fabulous” but wouldn’t last.

Because Parks and Rec pays more part-time staff during

the summer months, its expenses would be more than in May, he said. l The board received a financial report on Eagle Bend Golf Course. It operated at a deficit of about $35,000 in May and has seen 7,382 rounds played so far this year, 1,376 fewer than the year-to-date at this time in 2015.

could be ordered to replace their entire staff and leadership team and, in extreme cases, lose their accreditation.

The biggest change under KESA, state officials said, is that Kansas will no longer accredit individual schools. Instead, it will accredit entire districts or systems as a whole, including private and religious school systems that voluntarily choose to take part in the accreditation program.

The KESA system also goes beyond standardized test scores by examining districts on a range of other criteria known as the “Five Rs,” which cover such things as the academic rigor of its curriculum, the professional culture within the organization and the level of engagement it has with

During the board’s monthly meeting in May, which occurred just days after the new guidelines were issued, state board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican, tried to persuade the board to adopt a stronger statement rejecting those guidelines as an example of federal overreach. But the board balked at taking action on that statement at the time, with several members saying they wanted to know more about how schools were handling the issue already.

On Monday, board member Steve Roberts, an Overland Park Republican, said he strongly opposed the Obama administration’s policy.

“I think the arrogance

of undergoing annual reviews.

During those cycles, districts themselves will conduct internal reviews, decide which of Five Rs they will focus on during that period, and establish goals that will be monitored and measured by external review teams.

Deputy Education Commissioner Brad Neuenswander said Tuesday’s vote will trigger the first phase of the transition, which involves a yearlong process of drafting new department regulations and requesting the Legislature to authorize certain statutory changes.

He said the department hopes to have the new system fully in place by the summer of 2017.

of government is breathtaking,” Roberts said.

And board member Janet Waugh, a Kansas City Democrat, said she was disappointed that the policy was an issue at all.

“They’re addressing a problem that really doesn’t exist,” she said.

“The schools I’ve talked to have handled it in a very professional way.”

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt recently

joined with 10 other states that are challenging the Obama administration’s guidelines in a federal lawsuit filed in Texas.

McNiece said he believes the issue will eventually be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, probably within the next year.

KU Hospital meets challenge grant Staff Reports

Kansas City, Kan. — Kansas University Hospital is celebrating a milestone in fundraising for its Cambridge North Tower project.

The hospital has met a $10 million challenge grant ahead of the June 30 deadline, KU Hospital announced Monday. In 2014 philanthropist Annette Bloch announced a $10 million gift to support cancer services in the new building, but with the stipulation that the hospital match her gift

with other contributions.

“I knew the support for the hospital was so great it could meet this challenge,” Bloch said, in a news release from KU Hospital.

“This project is vital to expanding access to cancer services in surgical oncology, as well cancer and other services in neurosciences and ear, nose and throat. Demand in these areas is growing at a rapid rate and the hospital needs the facilities and technology to meet the needs of these patients.”

The $350 million Cambridge North Tower is under construction

at 39th and Cambridge streets, just northeast of the existing hospital buildings. The first section will be finished in 2017, with a four-floor expansion scheduled for completion in 2018.

The hospital has now raised $43 million of its goal of $100 million in private donations for the project, according to KU Hospital.

Annette Bloch gave $20 million to the hospital in 2008 to expand cancer services. She and her late husband, Richard, established the R. A. Bloch Cancer Foundation in 1980.

BRIEFLY KU veteran center gets $10K award Kansas University is getting a $10,000 boost to help furnish its new Student Veteran Center, scheduled to open in Summerfield Hall in January 2017.

Student Veterans of America and The Home Depot Foundation awarded KU a grant in the amount of $9,821 for the project, KU announced Tuesday.

The grant is part of the Student Veterans of America’s Vet Center Initiative, which offers campus chapters across the country a chance to compete for money to build or renovate a veteran center.

The KU chapter’s application was one of 50 chosen to receive such a grant this year, according to KU. The KU Student Veteran Center, envisioned as a one-stop-shop for VA ben-

The committees meet from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Thursday, and from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Friday in Room 346-South of the Statehouse, also known as the Old Supreme Court Room.

On May 27, the Kansas Supreme Court struck down a portion of this year’s school funding plan that distributes “equalization aid” that subsidizes the local option budgets of some school districts.

The court said that system forces taxpayers in lower-wealth districts to pay higher property taxes to achieve the same level of funding as wealthier districts.

The court gave the Legislature until the end of the current fiscal year, June 30, to correct the problem and suggested it would close public schools on July 1 if lawmakers do not respond.

Gov. Sam Brownback has called for a special session starting June 23 to address that ruling.

Lawmakers are expected to look at several

One of those, which the court has said would satisfy the equity concern, would reinstate the old formula that was used prior to 2014 and restore full funding for it.

That would cost an estimated $38 million in additional school aid. But it would also result in big funding cuts for many wealthier districts, especially in Johnson County where the Blue Valley school district would lose $2.4 million in state aid while the Shawnee Mission district would lose nearly $1.5 million.

The Lawrence school district would gain just over $1.5 million in state LOB aid, according to the Kansas Department of Education, but that would not represent additional spending authority. Instead, that money would enable the district to lower its property tax mill levy while still maintaining the same amount of spending.

An agenda for the twoday hearing calls for a half-hour of public comment on potential funding formula changes beginning at 11:45 a.m.

Thursday, and an additional half-hour starting at 9:30 a.m. Friday.

The panel will also hear public comment on possible constitutional amendments starting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

Legislative staff preparing for the hearings said people who aren’t able or don’t want to appear personally may also submit written comments by contacting the House and Senate committees.

Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, can be reached by email at Jeff.King@senate.ks.gov.

Rep. John Barker, RAbilene, who chairs the House committee, can be reached by email at john. barker@house.ks.gov.

King said Tuesday that at least two possible amendments are likely to come up in the special session, including one that he has drafted that would prohibit either the Legislature or judiciary from taking action that would close public schools by cutting off funds.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Approximately $42 million, or about 59 percent, of the general fund is used to pay city employees, according to information provided Tuesday. Another $5.5 million, nearly 8 percent of the general fund, is used for employee health insurance.

“A huge portion is personnel; it’s 70 percent of the general fund,” Markus said. “That’s why I say to you there are some tough decisions. If you’re looking at cuts, I think you’re really looking at personnel. And this isn’t to make your job more difficult.

It’s difficult for all of us when we go through these things.”

To fill the entire $1.3 million deficit, the commission would have to pass a mill levy increase of 1.3 to 1.4 mills. A mill is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of a property’s assessed valuation.

Mayor Mike Amyx suggested Markus come up with a combination of a “slight raise” to property taxes and cutting costs.

“When we hired a new city manager, a lot of it included bringing in a new, fresh set of eyes… someone to help steer the ship,” Amyx said. “I think we should give you some flexibility at this time. You’ve been here a short time, but you’ve got pretty good ideas of where we need to go.”

Markus will develop a recommendation and bring it back to the commission, he said. He added that he would not propose cuts to staff at the police or fire departments.

Vice Mayor Leslie Soden asked that a property tax raise not be part of the solution.

Soden noted Lawrence school district administrators have also proposed an increase for 2017. The district’s budget committee will submit a budget proposal to the school board in July. Douglas County starts its budgeting process later this summer.

“If we could not raise taxes… I heard the county is looking to raise them and the school district is looking to raise them,”

Wednesday, June 15, 2016

she said. “I don’t want to add to that burden.”

Markus responded: “Just so that we’re all realistic, there’s nothing magic about this.”

Also during the work session Tuesday, commissioners heard 2017 budget projections from all of the city’s 14 departments.

Together, the amount requested from departments totaled nearly $198 million. About $65 million of the total would come from the general fund.

The Lawrence Police Department requested nearly $24 million, about $4.5 million more than in 2016. Most of the increase is for personnel. Funds will be spent on over-hiring police officers, which the City Commission voted in March to allow, as well as salary increases and overtime.

The Lawrence Public Library requested slightly more than $4 million, an increase of $300,000 over 2016. If approved, most of the increase would be used to raise employee pay.

The budget for the city attorney’s office came in at slightly more than $1.9 million, about 7 percent less than in 2016.

In a draft of Lawrence’s five-year capital improvement program released last month, the attorney’s office included $114,600 to install security equipment at City Hall, Lawrence Municipal Court, the Lawrence Public Library and the police department’s Investigations and Training Center. The installation was meant to fall in line with a new Kansas law that requires concealed firearms in public buildings unless they’re equipped with security measures such as metal detectors and armed guards.

Money for that initiative was not part of Tuesday’s budget. Brandon McGuire, assistant to the city manager, said, “We ended up, after some deliberation, backing that out of the CIP.” Public Works is seeking a $13 million increase from 2016, for a total $43 million in 2017. Nearly $8.5 million will go toward street maintenance and bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Kasold Drive and Wa-

| 9A

karusa Drive. Another $2.7 million was requested to complete a new solid waste facility on Kresge Road.

Parks and Recreation’s budget for 2017 is $13.6 million, about $1.9 million more than in 2016. The department’s budget now includes maintenance and repair of its infrastructure, money for which had been taken from the city’s sales tax reserve fund in previous years.

The increase also includes a rise in debt payments to finance Eagle Bend Golf Course clubhouse improvements. Amyx said he was “apprehensive” about whether the course could afford to pay any new debt.

“Just because it’s included in the budget doesn’t mean it’s a forgone conclusion,” Markus said. “Major projects will be reviewed by us.”

In other business: l Amyx read a statement on behalf of the commission about the mass killing Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, offering condolences and saying, in part, Lawrence “affirms our commitment to uphold equality for all members of our society and wholly believes in the importance of acceptance and inclusion…”

Commissioners voted to send a letter to Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, which reads the shooting was “cowardly” and “fueled by hatred and intolerance.”

Commissioner Lisa Larsen voiced her exasperation at the lack of response to this mass shooting, and previous shootings, from elected officials.

“I say shame on them,” Larsen said. “I implore our state and national representatives to wake up. The blood of your citizens will continue to run because of your intolerance, your blatant hatred for those who are not like you, and your lack of will.” l Commissioners unanimously approved a site plan for a retail, restaurant and office development southwest of the Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive intersection.

Be proactive about medical records, directions Dear Annie: I’ve seen several doctors recently, and each time I noticed that they gave a lot of information so quickly that I could not absorb it all, nor could I remember it entirely.

I also received written instructions after a recent surgery, but those weren’t particularly good, either. Part of the instructions included a form that was filled out by the doctor, whose handwriting I had difficulty reading.

Ideally, all information would be typed up and handed to the patient. Granted, it takes time for someone to do this, but it’s the patients’ health we are dealing with. If the doctor refuses to provide this, I suggest bringing a voice recorder. Turn it on when you’re told “the doctor will see you shortly,’’ and make sure the doctor speaks clear-

Spielberg, AFI honor composer Steven Spielberg helps honor his most consistent collaborator on the “AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to John Williams” (9 p.m., TNT), which was taped last Thursday night.

This event marks the first time the American Film Institute has singled out a composer.

Three of Williams’ scores landed on AFI’s 100 Years of Film Scores — a list of the 25 greatest American film scores of all time. His score to the 1977 space epic “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope” is ranked at No. 1. “Jaws” and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” also made the cut.

Spielberg, who received the 23rd AFI Life Achievement Award in 1995, has worked with Williams on more than 25 movie projects, from the 1975 summer shocker “Jaws” (6 p.m., AMC) to the 2002 true-life drama “Catch Me If You Can” (6 p.m., TNT) to his 2012 “Lincoln” biography and the forthcoming release “The BFG.” The Spielberg-Williams partnership is remarkable not only for its duration, but for the fact that Spielberg has insisted on making big movies the oldfashioned way, incorporating the composition of the musical score into the shooting and editing process, not unlike the way Alfred Hitchcock worked with Bernard Herrmann on films including “Psycho,” “Vertigo” and “North By Northwest.”

Their continued collaboration has occurred at a time when the “art” of producing a movie score often consists of securing the rights to pop and rock tunes to evoke background atmosphere or to propel a narrative “montage” effect. Both methods can be powerful and effective. It’s impossible to think of “American Graffiti,” “Goodfellas,” or “Reservoir Dogs” (9:15 p.m., Sho 2) without their jukebox soundtracks. But Spielberg and Williams have built a career by choosing another path. l It’s interesting that two of the iconic stand-up comics of a generation now have series dedicated to their car lust.

Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” has put the streaming service Crackle on many viewers’ radar. And CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” (10 p.m.) returns for a second season.

Tuition trend No matter how justified it is, rising tuition at state universities is becoming a major obstacle for many Kansas students.

O

n one level, Kansas University’s decision to propose a larger tuition increase for the next school year is a reasonable response to the governor’s allotment cuts that reduced KU’s state funding by $7 million from what had been approved for the upcoming fiscal year.

Before lower state revenue expectations prompted Gov. Brownback to announce the additional cuts, KU had asked the Kansas Board of Regents to approve a 4 percent tuition increase.

After learning that their state funding would be further reduced, KU officials raised their tuition increase request to 5 percent. The additional 1 percent would raise an estimated $1.8 million for KU, for a total increase of $9.1 million for the Lawrence campus. Considering rising costs for insurance and other expenses, that doesn’t seem like an unreasonable amount — unless, perhaps, you’re a student or parent who’s already struggling to pay tuition that has ballooned at KU and other universities across the nation in recent years.

Under the new tuition proposal, instate undergraduates at KU would pay $4,789 per semester. New freshmen who automatically are entered into a tuition compact that guarantees stable tuition for eight semesters, would pay $5,242 per semester. Students from out of state would pay more than double that amount. KU now estimates that tuition, fees and books will cost in-state students about $11,500 for two semesters. When housing, transportation and other expenses are added in, the total ranges between about $20,000 and $25,000 a year.

Even if those rates are reasonable and in line with what is charged at other universities across the nation, they have to pose a major financial obstacle for many would-be KU students. KU has worked to provide additional financial aid to fill that need, but are there other ways to reduce the financial burden?

University administration, has grown exponentially — sometimes for good reasons or as a result of various mandates placed on the university. Are their ways to cut those costs?

State lawmakers, of course, have to share the blame. They criticize universities for raising tuition while placing additional requirements on state universities and reducing the proportion of their budgets covered by state funding. When KU decided to pursue a plan that would finance its new Central District project without seeking additional state funds, legislators retaliated by passing a proviso that imposed caps on KU spending.

It would be nice if state lawmakers and universities could be partners rather than adversaries in addressing financial issues that are chipping away at the ability of Kansas students to afford to attend a state university. For now, community colleges should prepare for an influx of students who would rather begin their college careers at institutions where tuition is a fraction of what fouryear universities charge.

State universities play a huge educational role in the state, and the research that occurs at the state’s largest universities is an important driver of the state economy. All Kansans have a stake in making these schools successful and affordable for Kansas students, but right now, we seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

Hateful rhetoric propels Islamic State Washington — Even by Donald Trump’s standards, his comments about the Orlando shooting have been reckless and self-serving.

They are also dangerous for the country.

Trump’s response to Sunday morning’s terrorist attack

by Omar Mateen was initially an opportunistic tweet, then a boasting statement on his website (“I said this was going to happen”), followed by a renewed call to temporarily

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

Trump’s polarizing rhetoric on this issue may be the best thing the Islamic State has going for it, according to some leading U.S. and foreign counterterrorism experts.” ban Muslim immigration and capped by a sinister insinuation Monday morning that President Obama should resign after the shooting because “there’s something going on.”

The presumptive Republican nominee tried to recover from these wild, off-the-cuff comments with a scripted speech Monday afternoon warning, without evidence, that his presumptive Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, “wants to allow radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country.” Trump professed support for law-abid-

ing Muslim Americans but said that if they didn’t report on “bad” people within their midst, “these people have to have consequences, big consequences.”

Trump’s polarizing rhetoric on this issue may be the best thing the Islamic State has going for it, according to some leading U.S. and foreign counterterrorism experts. The group’s selfdeclared caliphate in Syria and Iraq is imploding. Its Syrian capital of Raqqah is surrounded and besieged; the gap in the Turkish-Syrian border that allowed the free flow of foreign fighters is finally being closed; Sunni tribal sheikhs who until recently had cooperated with the Islamic State are switching sides. The group’s narrative is collapsing — with one exception.

The strongest remaining force that propels the Islamic State is the Islamophobia of Trump and his European counterparts, argue senior

intelligence strategists for the U.S.-led coalition. Inflammatory, xenophobic statements about Muslims reinforce the jihadists’ claims that they are Muslim knights fighting against an intolerant West.

Trump unwittingly gives them precisely the role they dream about.

Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the real danger for the West is not the isolated acts of terror by disaffected youths, such as Mateen’s massacre in Orlando. That’s a threat to Americans, but one that can at least be mitigated some with better security and intelligence. The bigger nightmare happens if Muslims, as a whole, conclude that their community is under threat and respond as a group.

Trump seems to think that we’ve already reached that tipping point — that the Muslim community has mobilized against the United States.

He rightly said Monday that Muslims need to work with

Trump team will be ‘yes men’ If Donald Trump becomes the next U.S. president, he will have a hard time assembling a team of experienced foreign policy advisers, especially when it comes to Latin American experts: Key Republican specialists in the region are running away from him as fast as they can.

That’s the impression I got when I talked with several former Latin America policymakers who served in recent Republican administrations. Several of them told me they couldn’t work for somebody who has insulted Mexico and Latinos and who doesn’t listen.

Take the case of Roger Noriega, the former head of the State Department’s Latin American department in the George W. Bush administration. He is a conservative Republican and foreign policy hawk who has served in every Republican administration since Ronald Reagan’s.

I recently ran into Noriega and asked him whether he plans to join the Trump bandwagon, He looked at me as if I had insulted him and said, “No way!” What’s more, he said that while he won’t vote for Hillary Clinton, he won’t vote for Trump either.

Two weeks later, I asked Noriega if he had changed his mind, like so many other Republicans who — after calling Trump a “con man,” as Sen. Marco Rubio did — are recanting their previous stands, deleting their old anti-Trump tweets and vowing to support the presumptive Republican nominee. Noriega responded, “Not a chance!”

Trump’s statement that most Mexicans are “criminals” and “rapists,” as well as his calls for building a wall on the border, deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants and slapping a 35 percent tax on Mexican imports “show ignorance, intellectual dishonesty and utter disregard for serious diplomacy,”

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Many, if not most, Republican foreign policy experts are staying away from Trump.”

Noriega told me.

These attitudes poison U.S. relations with key countries, and may even endanger U.S. national security, he said. “By speaking the way he does, he devalues the most important relationships we have in the world, economically and from a national security point of view,” Noriega said.

“Mexico is not only our second largest trading partner, but is also the front line against narco-trafficking, terrorism, and illegal immigration,” he said. “Trump’s statements will make it much harder for Mexico to continue cooperating with us.”

Asked about the possibility that Trump’s Mexicobashing is just campaign rhetoric, and that he may change it if he surrounds himself with seasoned foreign policy advisers, Noriega said, “Anyone who has a TV set knows that the guy doesn’t listen to sound advice. He wants yes men.”

If Trump wins, “every U.S. diplomat is going to be like the guy sweeping the floor at the end of the parade of elephants,” Noriega concluded.

Many Republican foreign policy experts think likewise.

They are concerned about

Trump’s careless proposals — often retracted within hours, but only halfway — to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country, start a trade war with China, dismantle NATO, be “neutral” in the Israel-Palestine conflict and many other issues.

In March, 121 former senior foreign policy officials in Republican administrations — including former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff and former Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick — signed a letter warning about the dangers of a Trump presidency to U.S. national security.

“He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence,” the letter said. “His advocacy for aggressively waging trade wars is a recipe for economic disaster in a globally connected world.”

Otto Reich, another former State Department Latin America chief who served in several Republican administrations — but was not among those signing that letter — told me when asked if he would work for a Trump administration, “I’m not looking for a job.” Asked why, he declined to comment.

My opinion: Many, if not most, Republican foreign policy experts are staying away from Trump. Most consider, accurately, that he is a racist and intellectually dishonest demagogue who has insulted almost every country with which the U.S. should seek better ties, and who doesn’t take advice.

If Trump wins, he’ll do what he has always done: surround himself with yes men. Most of them will be opportunistic losers — to use a Trumpian term — who have no other place to go.

It’s already happening.

law enforcement to report dangerous people. But he doesn’t seem to understand that his many months of Muslim-bashing comments have made that cooperation harder. He has been tossing matches into a pool of gasoline. Good law enforcement and, yes, cooperation from Muslims have helped prevent more attacks like those in San Bernardino and Orlando.

It’s breathtaking that a serious presidential candidate would call on a sitting president to resign following a terrorist attack, because “he doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands.” What’s that supposed to mean, if not a slur against Obama’s loyalty?

Trump displays a level of irresponsibility that should worry Americans, not just because his statements are immoral and unconstitutional, but because they put the country at greater risk.

PUBLIC FORUM

Overtime pay To the editor: This is in response to the June 10 article containing Kansas University’s response to the requirement for overtime pay to people on lower salaries when they work more than a 40-hour week. Michael Rounds, associate vice provost for human resources, supposedly speaks for KU, and, if so, I am ashamed for our university.

Mr. Rounds and KU apparently like the idea that if you are the chief of some work crew (paid, like most university employees, at the justabove-living-wage level) and a provost or vice provost or associate vice provost decides that you should come in tonight to work on a computer problem or icy sidewalks, you do so without compensation.

This even though your spouse is working at his or her night job and you are watching the kids. Or maybe you are scheduled to work at your night job because your KU salary alone will not allow you to save money to buy a house or pay your spouse’s tuition.

I noticed in checking my 2010 KU phone book that the office of “associate vice provost of human relations” did not exist six years ago. Maybe overtime pay could be freed up by a judicious reduction in the number of vice, associate and assistant provosts, deans, and chief attendant commissars on the campus.

ORLANDO MASSACRE

Gunman’s wife feared he was plotting attack, official says Woman could face charges if investigators determine she knew enough to alert authorities Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

The wife of the Orlando nightclub gunman feared that Omar Mateen was planning an attack and sought to dissuade him from going forward, a federal law enforcement official said Tuesday.

In interviews with federal investigators, Noor Salman allegedly acknowledged driving Mateen to the Pulse nightclub at least once before her husband launched the assault, according to WASHINGTON

the official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The attack, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, left 49 victims dead and 53 others wounded.

Salman allegedly told investigators that she drove Mateen to Pulse, a popular gay club, about a week before Sunday’s shooting, suggesting that the gunman had identified the target for some time before moving forward.

The federal official said authorities sought to substantiate the wife’s account, along with other witness reports that Ma-

teen had frequented the club often before returning with a rifle and handgun.

It is unclear whether Salman may face criminal charges as authorities seek to determine whether she possessed enough detailed knowledge to alert authorities of Mateen’s plot.

Possible charges available to federal authorities include misprision of a felony, which was used in the prosecution of Michael Fortier, an associate of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Fortier pleaded guilty to the offense and other weapons charges as part of deal in which he testified against McVeigh, offering crucial details about the bomber’s

planning leading up to the bombing in 1995 that killed 168 people, then the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil.

After a briefing by his National Security Council, President Obama reasserted on Tuesday the government’s belief that Mateen was not directed by a terror organization, even though the shooter expressed allegiance to the Islamic State during a standoff with police. Mateen professed solidarity with other extremist causes, some of them contradictory.

Federal investigators believe Mateen had been in the Orlando area, on and off, for at least several days before the assault, the federal official said.

Russian hackers loot Dem network

Compromised cache included Trump info Kevin Johnson and Erin Kelly USA TODAY

Russian hackers penetrated the Democratic National Committee’s computer network, compromising a raft of information, including research on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, officials confirmed Tuesday.

“The security of our system is critical to our operation and to the confidence of the campaigns and state parties we work with,” said Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman. “When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately.

“We were able to identify with a very high degree of confidence a group that we have attributed back to the Russian government targeting that DNC network,” Henry said.

Henry said the firm was contracted by the DNC in late April and deployed security technology that showed “attackers moving in the network.”

He said the subsequent inquiry determined that the initial breach had occurred months before.

“They had been in since last summer,” Henry said of the attackers, adding that the FBI had been involved.

Henry said the attackers had access to the DNC’s email accounts and chat logs.

Russian Embassy officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Trump campaign also did not comment.

Second wave of hurt endures after the shooting ends PTSD plagues police, survivors following horror of mass killings Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Kathy Platoni can never forget the soldier who died in front of her during the mass shooting that left 13 dead at Fort Hood, near Kileen, Texas, seven years ago. She still suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder from that day.

A clinical psychologist who was an Army reservist in 2009,

Platoni was in a building directly adjacent to where those shootings occurred when a mortally wounded Army Capt. John Gaffaney was carried in. She knelt down to see his last breath.

Watching coverage of Sunday’s massacre at the Pulse club in Orlando brought it all rushing back.

Behavioral health experts caution that a second wave of suffering can flow from such violent events, as survivors and first responders struggle with what they’ve witnessed.

“This is like war,” said Barbara Van Dahlen, founder and CEO of Give an Hour, an organization set up to help traumatized sol-

“No one, no matter how much training you’ve had, can prepare yourself for these kind of horrific experiences.”

diers. “No one, no matter how much training you’ve had, can prepare yourself for these kind of horrific experiences.”

Orlando SWAT team members stormed the club where gunman Omar Mateen was barricaded and killed him in an ex-

change of gunfire. The bodies of dozens of patrons lay strewn about the building as police spent hours processing the crime scene.

It was a horror similar to what police officers in Newtown, Conn., encountered in 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six adult staff members were killed by a gunman, who then took his own life.

“There was an expectation from at least a part of the population that said: ‘Well, they’re police officers. They should expect this type of thing,’ ” said Eric Brown, a lawyer for the police

union in Connecticut. “But who could reasonably deal with seeing 50 dead bodies (in Orlando) or 20 dead children?”

Behavioral health experts say it is common for people to have intense memories of traumatic events. But when those memories become intrusive and involuntary, the result can be PTSD. Former Colorado police officer John Marx, executive director of the Law Enforcement Survival Institute, said studies show that anywhere from 13% to 35% of police officers suffer PTSD, rates comparable to those found among troops who have been to war.

Orlando’s LGBT community comes together Greg Toppo USA TODAY

As Orlando continued to come to terms with Sunday’s nightclub attack, the city’s LGBT community came together to help survivors and offer support.

Albert Harris, 28, an Orlando wedding photographer, said the LGBT community is large but “really tight-knit,” which is striking in a city that’s home to many transient hospitality workers.

Harris said he knew two of the victims — he’d photographed them together informally and was shocked to see one of his photos used this week at vigils.

Locals are doing their best to grapple with the reality that Mateen, a 29-year-old married man with a young child at home, spent years drinking and socializing at Pulse, the nightclub where the attack took place. The FBI is looking into those claims.

“Recovery will never be easy, but we’re tightknit.”

Chris Stephenson, vice president of MBA Orlando

Harris, who visited Pulse every other week or so, didn’t recall encountering Mateen there, but others did.

Jim Van Horn, 71, a frequent patron at the Pulse night club, said Mateen used to come to the bar regularly.

“On the weekends sometimes he would be there, sometimes he would miss a couple of weeks and then be in again,” Van Horn told the Associated Press.

Chris Stephenson, vice president of MBA Orlando, the city’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce, said the attack “is forcing our city to grow up. Orlando is turning into a major metropolitan area.”

He also said he’s seeing a heartening unity and outpouring of support across the region. “I see donations coming in faster than we can store them,” he said.

Stephenson, also Harris’ business partner, said he and Harris plan to hire laid-off Pulse staffers until they find other jobs, as do other locals.

“Recovery will never be easy, but we’re tightknit,” he said. “We support each other.”

ORLANDO Physicians at Orlando Regional Medical Center on Tuesday detailed the scramble to save lives in an overwhelmed emergency room following the shooting spree at a gay nightclub that left 49 victims dead and dozens more struggling to survive.

Six victims of Sunday’s massacre remained in critical condition, officials said. Twenty-one others also remained hospitalized. The gunman was killed by police at Pulse, which was crowded with dancing revelers on Latin Night.

“I will be surprised if we don’t see the death toll rise” or see patients left with long-term injuries, physician Michael Cheatham said at a news conference at the hospital.

“There is no question that nurses saved lives” in the grueling hours as victims poured into the emergency room,” Cheatham said.

Hospital trauma director Joseph Ibrahim likened the situation to “a war scene” with “patients in every corner.” Surgeon Chadwick Smith said he was on duty when shooting victims began arriving at the hospital shortly after 2 a.m. Victims were dropped off via ambulances, police cruisers, trucks and private vehicles.

“They were coming in nonstop,” Smith said of the victims.

He began calling in more physicians: “I said, ‘This is not a drill; this is not a joke.’ ” Nurses and technicians also rolled in. Smith said he worked triage, ranking patients based on the severity of their injuries.

“I just cannot say enough about how much we increased our resources to the level of need in a very short period of time,” he said.

Survivor Angel Colon thanked the hospital staff for the care he was provided. He also described

“An evil person came in here and they legally purchased two firearms from us, and if he hadn’t purchased them from us, I’m sure he would have gotten them from another local gun store,” said Ed Henson, owner of St. Lucie Shooting Center.

Although Henson did not say whether the guns were used in the massacre, an Orlando Police Department news release indicates the Sig Sauer semi-automatic rifle and Glock 17 handgun used in the shooting were purchased within the past two weeks.

“This man held multiple security licenses; he had an armed and an unarmed license,” Henson said.

Several regulars at Pulse said Mateen, 29, patronized the club before the attack. One recalled seeing the gunman drink at the bar and another said he had used a gay dating and chat app.

A federal law enforcement official told USA TODAY investigators believe Mateen was in the Orlando area for several days prior to the shooting, suggesting he carefully considered the target.

The official, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said investigators are reviewing Mateen’s possible consideration of other iconic targets in the Orlando area, including Disney World.

That review was ongoing and it was not immediately clear how seriously other locations were considered, the official said.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina has said the investigation, being led by the FBI, would include an effort to determine whether any victims were shot by police in the chaos of the final assault.

Obama rips ‘radical Islam’ rhetoric Lashes out at GOP critics, including Trump, over partisan ‘political distraction’ Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Joseph Ibrahim, with Orlando Health trauma staff and victim Angel Colon, said there were “patients in every corner.” Colon was shot multiple times. “We grabbed each other and started running.”

WASHINGTON President Obama passionately rebuked critics who say he should condemn terrorists as “radical Islamists,” saying calling the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, by another name will do nothing to defeat it — and could be counterproductive.

“What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this?” he said.

“The answer is none of the above.”

In animated off-the-cuff remarks after meeting with his National Security Council on Tuesday, Obama repeated his contention that identifying the Syrian-based terror group as Islamic will only serve as a propaganda tool for their extremist ideology, and potentially alienate Muslim allies. It was his sharpest and most extensive response to date on Republican criticism that his strategy is failing because he’s failed to understand the religious fervor of terrorists.

“Is President Obama going to

SUSAN WALSH, AP

President Obama lashed out Tuesday at Republican critics who say he should specifically condemn “radical Islamists. finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace!” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump, tweeted on Sunday following a lone-wolf attack on an Orlando nightclub.

Obama responded: “There’s no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam.’ It’s a political talking point.

It’s not a strategy.

“Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away.

This is a political distraction.”

Obama said in a tone that moved from scolding to mocking. “Not once has an adviser of mine said, ‘Man, if we use that phrase, we’re

going to turn this whole thing around.’ ” Obama’s remarks were directed broadly at Republican critics, including, he said, “politicians who tweet and appear on cable news shows.”

White House press secretary Josh Earnest later said that Obama wasn’t just targeting Trump.

“It’s not uncommon to turn on cable television and see some Republican congressman I’ve never heard of talking about the president’s non-use of the word ‘radical Islamic extremism’ to define our enemy,” he said.

“Unfortunately it’s not just about one politician in the Re-

publican Party who is reacting out of fear and using language that the president is concerned could undermine our homeland security.”

Yet Obama also denounced Trump specifically — referring to him not by name but as the presumptive Republican nominee — over his proposal to call a temporary moratorium on Muslims entering the country — or anyone arriving from countries where Islamic terrorism exists.

“Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens.

Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently?

Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance? Are we going to start to discriminate them, because of their faith?” he said. “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?”

Obama spoke following a previously scheduled meeting of his National Security Council to discuss the progress in the war against the Islamic State.

He also gave an update on the investigation into the Orlando nightclub shooting that killed 49 people Sunday, saying there’s no evidence the attack was directed by a terrorist organization.

Republicans quickly accused the president of politicizing the tragedy. Dog Andres, a spokesman for House Speaker Paul Ryan, said that “instead of reassuring Americans after a terrorist attack,” Obama “opted for a political takedown.”

SANDERS CALLS FOR DEMOCRATS’ ‘FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION’ Won’t concede, seeks new party leadership, electoral changes Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

Sen. Bernie Sanders called Tuesday for a “fundamental transformation” of the Democratic Party that would include new leadership at the Democratic National Committee, electoral changes and an agenda that makes it “crystal clear” Democrats stand with working people and the poor.

Outside his Washington headquarters, the Vermont senator said his presidential campaign has been about “transforming America,” and he plans to take that fight to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July.

Sanders called for open primaries — in which independents could vote for Democratic candidates — and for doing away with superdelegates, the party officials and leaders who are free to vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention. He also argued for same-day voter registration.

“We need a party which is prepared to stand up for the disappearing middle class, for the 47 million people in this country who are living in poverty, and take on the greed of the powerful special interests that are doing so much harm to this country, who have so much power over the political and economic life of our country,” he said.

Sanders has not conceded the nomination race, even though presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed victory after securing the required 2,383 delegates.

Sanders met later Tuesday with Clinton in Washington to discuss the party platform.

His comments on transforming the Democratic Party came the same day Washington held the final nominating contest of the Democratic presidential camWASHINGTON

CLINTON TAKES 12-POINT LEAD

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by double digits in the first major poll since the former secretary of State secured enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.

The Bloomberg Politics poll, released Tuesday, had Clinton with a 12-point lead over Trump (49% to 37%) among likely voters. Libertarian candidate and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson had 9%.

More than half of those surpaign season. The Associated Press declared Clinton the winner with 78.8% of the vote 45 minutes after the polls closed.

Twenty delegates were at stake in the contest.

Sanders has feuded often with the DNC and its chairwoman,

veyed (55%) said they would never vote for Trump.

The poll offers a glimpse into the toll Trump’s comments questioning the fairness of Judge Gonzalo Curiel because of his “Mexican heritage” may be having on the real estate mogul’s standing.

Bloomberg interviewed 750 likely voters for the poll conducted June 10-13. It has a margin of error of +/-3.6 percentage points.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, speaking Tuesday in Washington, repeated his desire to see a more liberal agenda for the party. He was to meet with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday evening in Washington after polls close for the D.C. primary.

for Wasserman Schultz’s primary opponent, said the party needs a new leader who works vigorously to bring people into the political process.

“I know political parties need money, but it is more important that we have energy, that we have young people, that we have working-class people who are going to participate in the political process and fight for their kids and for their parents,” he said Tuesday.

Wasserman Schultz, responding to Sanders’ comments on Meet the Press Daily, said she will focus — through the election and up to the end of her term as DNC chairwoman — on ensuring a Democrat is elected president and the party’s down-ballot candidates also win their races.

“Democrats will come together, as we should, to make sure that we can defeat Donald Trump and elect our party’s nominee,” she said. “We’re all going to be one team after this primary is over.”

Sanders has long complained about the role of superdelegates, which he views as a subversion of the electoral process. Clinton consistently led him by a huge margin in those delegates.

“We need to also make sure that superdelegates do not live in a world of their own but reflect the views of the people in their own states,” he said.

Sanders hasn’t spoken of winning the nomination since losing California’s primary June 7. Instead, he has focused his message on ensuring that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump doesn’t win the presidency.

He has resisted pressure from Democrats to concede and endorse Clinton.

Michael Briggs, Sanders’ spokesman, said the senator will speak via live video “directly to grass-roots supporters from Burlington (Vt.) on Thursday night about how the revolution continues.”

Support for ‘Brexit’ from EU gains momentum in latest poll

IN BRIEF NEW AMERICANS

With eight days to go, 46% want Britain to leave the bloc Kim Hjelmgaard and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The campaign urging a break with the European Union in next week’s national referendum surged to a significant lead for the first time, according to a new poll published Tuesday.

“Brexit” — a British exit from the 28-nation political bloc — is now favored by 46% of those surveyed by YouGov, a market research firm, while 39% want to remain in the union. Eleven percent were undecided. A week ago, the same poll showed supporters of Britain’s continued EU membership with a one percentage point lead. Previous YouGov polls have shown support evenly split.

The swing to the Leave campaign follows a poll by research firm ORB on Monday for Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper that showed 49% of people surveyed wanted to break with the decLONDON

U.S. CAN’T CONFIRM REPORTS ISLAMIC STATE LEADER KILLED

The U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State said Tuesday it could not confirm reports that Islamic State leader Abu Bakr alBaghdadi had been killed in a U.S. airstrike.

Army Col. Chris Garver, the top spokesman for the coalition in Iraq, told USA TODAY he was aware of the reports from the Islamic news agency AlhlulBayt and other sources. Garver said that, if true, al-Baghdadi’s death would be welcome news but would not signal the end of the fight against the terrorist group.

AlhlulBayt reported the militant leader was killed Sunday in an airstrike in the Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State’s de facto capital. Previous reports claiming alBaghdadi, 44, was killed or wounded have surfaced since he proclaimed himself the supreme religious leader of all Muslims two years ago. Last week an Iraqi TV station claimed he was wounded in an airstrike, a report that was never confirmed.

SUSPECT IN FRENCH POLICE KILLING TIED TO TERRORISM

The suspect in the killings of a police commander and his partner in a Paris suburb pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and had a list of other targets, the Paris prosecutor said.

François Molins said Tuesday

that suspect Larossi Abballa, who was killed by police, was responding to a statement by the militant group calling on followers to attack “non-believers.”

Molins said Abballa stabbed to death Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, a police commander in the Paris suburb of Les Mureaux, outside his home in Magnanville on Monday. Abballa, 25, then entered the house and held the commander’s partner and their 3-year-old son hostage before killing the woman.

The boy was found alive by police, who stormed the house.

President François Hollande said Tuesday the killings were “incontestably a terrorist act.”

ades-old alliance, compared with 48% who did not.

Two other surveys conducted by pollster ICM for the Guardian newspaper on Monday put Leave at 53% and Remain at 47%.

The betting service Betfair said that last week the Remain camp was the solid favorite, with a 78% chance, but that weakened to 60% on Tuesday. Brexit has attracted 48% of money bet in the past 24 hours, it said.

The poll gains for Brexit come as media tycoon Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun tabloid newspaper urged British voters to sever ties with the EU when the vote takes place on June 23. On Tuesday, the newspaper ran a front-page image of Britain’s Union Jack flag with a headline reading: “BeLeave in Britain.”

The newspaper warned that staying in the organization would be “worse for your life.”

“This is our last chance to remove ourselves from the undemocratic Brussels machine ... and it’s time to take it,” the paper said.

“Throughout our 43-year membership of the European Union it has proved increasingly greedy, wasteful, bullying and breathtakingly incompetent in a crisis.

Next Thursday, at the ballot box, we can correct this huge and historic mistake. It is our last chance. Because, be in no doubt, our future looks far bleaker if we stay in.”

Brexit’s advocates argue that Britain outside the EU would be better able to control immigration, manage its economy and pass legislation. The EU’s proponents say U.K. membership brings benefits including increased trade, security cooperation, and social and legal protections.

The British pound neared a two-month low on news that the Brexit campaign was pulling ahead. The pound dropped 1% to $1.4132 in early morning trades in London.

The yield on Germany’s 10year Bund fell to below zero for the first time on record Tuesday.

CALIF. SEX ASSAULT JUDGE BUMPED FROM NEW CASE

A Northern California judge at the center of a recall campaign after his handling of a Stanford University sexual assault case was removed from a new sexual assault case Tuesday by the local district attorney.

Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen used authority to block transfer of the new case to Judge Aaron Persky. Persky has endured widespread criticism and calls for his removal after he sentenced former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, 20, on June 3 to six months in jail for sexually assaulting a young woman passed out from too much drink at a fraternity party where they had met.

Excluding volatile autos and gasoline, sales increased 0.3%, matching economists’ estimates.

Evidence grows that investors seeing more market trouble ahead Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors are running away from risk in a serious way, and one of the most obvious effects of that is the surging prices and diving yields on government debt.

The yield on Germany’s 10year bond turned negative for the first time ever on a closing basis Tuesday. The yield on the U.S. Treasury’s 10-year note briefly dropped below 1.6% for the first time since 2012. Yields on these super-safe fixed-income investments are dropping because so many investors are piling in and pushing up the prices, which in turn drives the yields down.

‘BREXIT’ COULD SPELL BIG TROUBLE FOR U.S. BUSINESSES PAUL FAITH, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Banking giant J.P. Morgan, for one, says it would be forced to pull some offices out of Britain, slash jobs Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon visited the banking giant’s British corporate office in the seaside city of Bournemouth this month to deliver a chilling message to employees: “As many as 4,000” J.P. Morgan jobs in the United Kingdom — about a quarter of the U.K. workforce — could be cut if Britons vote next week to leave the European Union.

The June 23 referendum on a “Brexit,” or British exit from the 28-member union, will determine if the country severs its close economic and political ties with continental Europe and chart its own course in national security, economic policies and immigration laws.

For American business executives like Dimon, a Brexit would be bad news for U.S. companies that have outsize global business interests, which is why they are lobbying for the U.K. to remain a member. “Today, we can service EU companies here freely, with systems, technology, research, investment banking, sales and trading. We can do it here,” Dimon said. “After a Brexit, we cannot do it all here, and we are going to have to start planning for that.”

Brexit proponents argue that the U.K. would fare better in the long run by setting its own economic and political agenda, free from the EU’s regulation-heavy interference and able to pursue its own, more stringent immigration policies.

Analysts in the United States, however, don’t see it that way.

They say Britain’s departure from the EU could trigger lasting economic and political problems for U.S. companies. That’s particularly true for banking, since London is currently the financial center for Europe.

For decades, the U.S. has championed a common economic and political bloc in Europe, and any signs of its disintegration with the United States’ largest trading partner is contrary to U.S. interests, said Joao Gomes, a finance professor at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

“We’re talking about a shock,” Gomes said.

“On trade, they (Britons) hurt themselves. On investment, they hurt themselves. On migration, they hurt themselves,” said Joel Trachtman, professor of international law at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

Economists also are unnerved by the timing of a Brexit vote, which comes amid economic sluggishness and high unemployment in EU nations. As a result, a vote for a Brexit could be a drag on consumer demand throughout Europe.

A Brexit also could put a damper on U.S.-Europe trade and investment. Last year, American companies exported about $492 billion worth of goods and services to Europe, according to data from the European Commission. Total U.S. investment in the EU is three times higher than in all of Asia.

bers of the World Trade Organization, and the framework for their trade is set by the international organization. But after a Brexit, the U.K. would be required to adopt new tariff schedules and trade regulations for Europe and the U.S. Another complication from an exit: ongoing negotiation for the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP), a treaty seeking to broaden economic cooperation between the U.S. and Europe.

President Obama, a fervent opponent of a Brexit, warned that the U.S. may not be as eager to negotiate a separate trade agreement with the U.K. During a visit to Britain in April, he said Britain would have to go to the “back of the queue” for a trade deal if it votes for a Brexit. “It’s an administrative mess,” Trachtman said.

Some are convinced that “the special relationship” between the U.S. and the U.K. could override a Brexit’s aftermath. The U.S. could affirm that it would include an independent Britain in any future Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement with Europe, said Peter Harrell, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. “My position is not that it’s a good thing for Britain. But I think fears that this is bad for the U.S. is overblown,” he said.

A Brexit could further drive down the euro and the sterling.

The rush toward the U.S. dollar would make U.S. exports even more expensive.

A “No to Brexit” sign sits on the outskirts of Newry in Northern Ireland on June 7.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

Software M&A is officially off the hook.

Acquisitions of software companies had already picked up dramatically even before Microsoft’s $26.2 billion deal for LinkedIn was announced Monday.

UBS analyst Brent Thill says M&A deal-making from major players such as Oracle and Microsoft as well as private equity has hit $50 billion this year, double last year’s total of $24 billion.

The number of deals has also soared: 27 to date vs. 21 all of 2015, topping the total number of software deals in each of the past four years. “There has been a material increase in M&A,” he says.

In April, Oracle snapped up two cloud software companies, Textura and Opower.

SAN FRANCISCO

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

Private equity firms bought smaller players, such as Marketo and SciQuest, last month.

Earlier this month, Salesforce announced its biggest-ever acquisition, a $2.8 billion deal for e-commerce software maker Demandware. Salesforce itself was said to be a Microsoft takeover target before the LinkedIn deal was announced Monday.

At the time of the Demandware deal, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said that 2016’s M&A season had been the “most intense, the most exciting” he’s ever seen.

“We’ve never seen more deals and more things happening,” Benioff said during an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer.

With the cloud wars heating up and major tech companies on the hunt for growth, “I expect overall M&A to pick up,” Thill says. “It’s an indication that we are in a later stage in the tech cycle.”

Don’t bite off more risk than you can chew up Q: Treasuries are in a bubble — right?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Talking heads have warned investors U.S. government debt is overvalued for years. But investors who ignored the warnings and stuck with a prudent asset allocation plan, including Treasuries, keep getting rewarded.

The Vanguard Total Bond Market exchange-traded fund, made up of nearly two-thirds U.S. government debt, has been a rock-solid performer despite all the warnings. The investment has gained nearly 3% over the past 12 months even as the Standard & Poor’s 500 has fallen nearly 0.5%.

Meanwhile, the Total Bond Market ETF has generated a yield of 2%. Much of that has been due to strong performance by Treasuries, as investors buy what they see as the safest thing they can. A sharp run-up in the price of the 10-year Treasury has pushed the yield down to levels not seen since 2012.

Perhaps critics will eventually be correct and prices of Treasures could fall.

But if history teaches anything, it’s that predicting the direction of markets is tricky. It’s better to choose a portfolio that matches the amount of risk you can tolerate and hang on.

Even a portfolio that was 50% bonds and the rest a basket of optimized stock investments gained 5.7% a year on average the past 15 years, says Index Fund Advisors.

Staples didn’t detail exactly which items it sells would be available but said “thousands of products” will be covered including office supplies, technology products and furniture as long as it is not on clearance and weighs less than 70 pounds. The copy and print center is currently not included but will be added in the coming months.

Unlike Walmart, which recently announced it would be partnering with Uber, Lyft and Deliv for its own same-day grocery deliveries, Staples will use its own delivery fleet.

“By offering a wholly owned

same-day delivery experience, Staples is providing businesses the type of customer service they’ve come to expect from us throughout their entire transaction,” Mike Bhaskaran, Staples’ executive vice president of supply chain and logistics, said in a statement.

The move is the first big announcement since Staples’ attempted merger with Office Depot was blocked by a federal judge. Staples’ stock has tumbled nearly 17% through Monday’s close since the merger was called off May 10. Its stock was down 0.9% to $8.55 Tuesday.

Why Hollywood just can’t stop repeating itself Studios keep making sequels, hoping that lightning strikes twice

GILES KEYTE

Chris Heady

Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron’s magic couldn’t save The Huntsman: Winter’s War.

Hollywood may have contracted a disease.

Sequel-itus, an infestation of unnecessary sequels, is spreading through movie theaters, resulting in poor reviews and weak box office numbers.

“Sequels can make a lot of money, but the ones that didn’t do so well were movies that I don’t think there was a high demand for a follow-up,” says Erik Davis, managing editor of Fandango.com and Movies.com.

Despite scattered successes, including last weekend’s $40.4 million opening for horror movie The Conjuring 2, this year has been a disappointment for studios hoping to capitalize on previous hits. On average, the 16 sequels released in 2016 have done 18% worse in their first weekend, with Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising falling 57% from the original film (despite favorable reviews), The Huntsman: Winter’s War tumbling 66% and Alice Through The Looking Glass nosediving 78%, according to Box Office Mojo.

Pixar’s eagerly anticipated

rushed, they fail to capture what made the first movie special. The second movie has to set itself apart from the last one. That doesn’t always happen.”

Dergarabedian doesn’t see an end to studios green-lighting sequel after sequel anytime soon.

Neither does Bock, who expects that seven of the top 10 grossing movies this year will be sequels, possibly including Dory, Independence Day: Resurgence (out June 24), Star Trek Beyond (July 22) and Ice Age: Collision Course (July 22).

If those do well, he says, that could rejuvenate the trend.

In that light, Dergarabedian doesn’t see a problem with the influx of the “terrible twos,” as he calls them. “It’s a cyclical industry, and this is just a mini-trend,” he says.

Every studio in Hollywood has four or five sequels in production, and the schedule through 2020 is packed with reboots and characters we’ve seen on the big screen before, Bock says.

“They’re easy to say yes to,” Bock says. “We’re not going to see a lot of change anytime soon.”

Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp’s dud Alice Through the Looking Glass was no reflection of Alice in Wonderland.

Finding Nemo follow-up Finding Dory (in theaters Friday) could save the summer box office, of course, but analysts still are trying to understand: Why are sequels doing so poorly?

For starters, says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations, some of these movies just didn’t need to be made. Critics seem to agree: The 16 sequels averaged a halfhearted 44% approval rating on the review site RottenTomatoes.com.

“Just because a movie is an unexpected hit doesn’t mean that they need to crank out another installment,” adds Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore.com.

Part of the problem is when se-

quels do well, they flourish, Bock says. Captain America: Civil War made $179 million in its first weekend. Since The Avengers in 2012, seven corresponding movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have averaged $125 million openings.

Studios also are trying to capitalize on the “binge-watching” audiences captured by Netflix and Hulu. “(Movie studios) feel the need to push the product even faster,” Bock says. Twothirds of this year’s sequels were released within three years of the original movie. “The problem is, it’s hard to do these films this well, this quickly. It’s a different beast.”

As a horror filmmaker, Eli Roth concedes he’s into really strange stuff, but seeing himself dressed up as a scary clown in the movie Clown was legitimately weird.

“You look at yourself in the mirror and you think, ‘Yeah, that’s creepy,’ ” says Roth, a producer on the film (in theaters and on demand Friday) who has a supporting role as Frowny the Clown. “I’m not a modern, cool clown that’s like Cirque du Soleil — I’m like straight out of those weird photos you see on Reddit.”

Though he lives up to his name, Frowny isn’t the worst thing in Clown. Director Jon Watts’ film stars Andy Powers as a father who finds an old clown costume to wear for his son’s birthday party, but afterward he can’t take off the red nose, his hair is all colors of the rainbow, and the suit becomes his skin as he transforms into a creature neither cute nor cuddly.

Scary clowns have been around

DIMENSION FILMS

Andy Powers is a man overtaken by his costume in Clown. long enough to have their own subgenre. So what still creeps us out about them?

“Adults think that clowns are sweet and friendly and children love them, but I think deep down, children look at clowns as vaguely ominous,” says Scott E. Weinberg, film writer for Nerdist.com and the U.K. horror magazine Scream.

“When something is that overtly whimsical, it’s easy for the brain to fight back against it.”

The funny clown under the 1950s big top is long gone, and the

unsettling associations have piled on. Illinois serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who sexually molested and killed 33 young men and boys in the 1970s, was dubbed the “Killer Clown” because of the charitable work he did dressed as a clown named Pogo.

By the time Stephen King’s novel It — featuring the villainous Pennywise — was published in 1986, “any sense of the clown as benevolent was done,” says Andrew McConnell Stott, professor of English at University at Buffalo

(SUNY) and author of The Pantomime Life of Joseph Grimaldi: Laughter, Madness and the Story of Britain’s Greatest Comedian.

In 2016, the clown is more of an anachronism than ever.

“They’re a reminder of a childhood that is past,” Stott says. “It was once thriving and dynamic and fun and now it’s curdled into this bitter, cynical and rather disturbing idea.”

Awareness of “stranger danger” has created a sense of suspicion around clowns, Stott adds.

“It’s not clear why a grown man would want to disguise his features and hang around children.”

In Clown, the malevolent costume that overtakes Powers’ character has a mythology that dates back to ancient times and has a purpose for its horrific actions.

“Instead of going for a very obvious slasher movie, Jon made a very heartbreaking movie about a man turning into this evil clown,” Roth says.

What’s worse than any horror movie, though, is seeing a clown out of his usual context.

“When you see a clown at a kid’s birthday party, it’s fine, there are parents, everyone’s happy,” Roth says. But when you see a clown at, say, a gas station, “it’s incredibly disturbing.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S Carlton Bragg Jr. goes to the hoop during Bill Self’s basketball camp Tuesday at Horejsi Center.

Bragg making fashion statement

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Carlton Bragg Jr., remembers the day he made his own fashion statement on the basketball court, discarding long, saggy shorts for the kind basketball players wore before Michael Jordan dropped the seam in the 1980s.

“It was my sophomore year, AAU season. I was in the bathroom and everybody took their shorts (from team personnel).

There was a small pair of shorts. I had to put them on. I scored 44 or 45 (points), something like that. I kept ’em after that,” related Bragg, KU’s 6-foot10, 235-pound sophomore power forward from Cleveland.

Bragg never was comfortable wearing shorts three or four inches below the knee.

“It’s more comfortable. I sweat so much it’s so heavy under my legs,” Bragg said.

“This feels comfortable to me.”

He thinks he can talk teammates Devonté Graham and Mitch Lightfoot to help him start a new trend of shorter shorts.

“I’m trying to get it back.

I’ll give it one more month.

It’s coming back,” Bragg said with a smile after taking part in drills for hundreds of Bill Self basketball campers Tuesday in Horejsi Center.

“They (teammates) say it’s not their style. I’m going to get a couple people with me for sure.”

Bragg said the key to looking sharp with shorter shorts is to wear compression tights, as well.

“You’ve got to, got to.

You don’t want to look a little suspect,” Bragg said, smiling.

Firebirds looking to reduce mistakes

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Free State High football players walked off of the field at Lawrence High on Tuesday following their day at Baker University camp, they were a little disappointed.

There were too many little mistakes that caused problems when they scrimmaged against St. Thomas Aquinas, Shawnee Mission South, Shawnee Mission East, Shawnee Heights and Blue Valley North, including some missed assignments and problems when lining up in their offensive formations.

“I think we’ve taken a step back today,” senior Zion Bowlin said. “At the (Kansas University) camp (last week) we were doing pretty good on offense and defense. But today, I don’t think we were locked in.”

Three weeks into summer practices and the Firebirds expect themselves to be playing better on a daily basis.

Of course, the Firebirds would rather have an off day now than closer to the season opener, but they were hoping to look better against top competition.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Royals manager Ned Yost never lacks for confidence, even with his team struggling to score runs and trailing with two outs in the eighth inning against the best team in the division.

“I had a really good feeling about Sal coming up there and doing something special,” Yost said.

That would be Salvador Perez, of course. The All-Star catcher made Yost seem prophetic when he followed a single by Eric Hosmer with a tworun homer to center, propelling Kansas City to a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Joakim Soria (3-2) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for Kansas City, then proceeded to handle the ninth with setup men Luke Hochevar Kelvin Herrera and closer Wade Davis getting the night off — the three of them were unavailable after heavy usage the previous three days.

Soria got Jason Kipnis to pop out with runners on first and second to end it.

“If you can keep these guys in the game, they like the lateinning heroics,” said Dillon Gee, who tossed three scoreless innings in relief of Chris Young to make the comeback possible.

Whit Merrifield also went deep for the Royals, who have won four straight after an eight-game skid, while Perez’s shot off Bryan Shaw (0-3) was the first non-solo homer by the Royals in their last 12.

The comeback also scuttled a solid performance by Josh Tomlin, who allowed seven hits while striking out five without a walk. He exited with a 2-1 lead and in line to beat Kansas City for the third time.

“I don’t care about my win.

I care about this team winning games,” he said. “It stinks to lose in that situation. We have the utmost faith in Shaw every time he goes out there. He’s

KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ WATCHES HIS TWO-RUN HOME RUN off Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Bryan Shaw during the eighth inning of the Royals’ 3-2 win Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. one of the best relievers, in my opinion. He’ll make adjustments. We’ve seen what he’s done in the past.”

The Indians took their first lead of the series when Carlos Santana homered in the third, his 13th of the year. It was also the AL-leading 18th that Chris Young had allowed.

Merrifield matched it in the bottom half, the 27-year-old rookie sending a 2-2 pitch over the left-field wall. His second career homer came 24 hours after his first.

Young continued to struggle with his command in the fifth, walking two more batters to exceed his 85-pitch limit. Dillon Gee entered in relief and Kipnis promptly swatted the

second pitch he saw for an RBI single that gave Cleveland a 2-1 lead.

The Royals had a chance to tie it in the seventh when pinch hitter Paulo Orlando slapped a single and Cheslor Cuthbert sacrificed him to second, but Jarrod Dyson and Merrifield were unable to get him home.

Perez made it a forgotten point with his big hit in the eighth.

“It’s a long season but you want to play night-in and nightout good baseball,” Young said.

“Be nice to get on a streak now and finish up this series well.”

U.S. OPEN

Oakmont, Pa. (ap) — Danny Willett makes his debut in the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

At least the U.S. Open that he grew up watching.

The record will show that Willett first played the U.S. Open in 2014 at Pinehurst No. 2, which had been restored to its original design by replacing the rough with natural sand areas, vegetation and wiregrass bushes. He also played last year at Chambers Bay, with its fine fescue grass that allowed the ball to bounce and roll like on a links course.

Those were a departure from the U.S. Open that over the years had been defined by narrow fairways, thick rough and firm greens.

And that’s the definition of Oakmont.

“I’m just looking forward to, I guess, my first U.S. Open on a golf course that I’ve notoriously watched growing up,” Willett said Tuesday. “Back to kind of how people see U.S. Open golf.”

Even with rain in the forecast ahead of the opening round Thursday, no one expects a winning score under par.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth played in unusually strong wind on Sunday and said he would have shot no better than 75 and then treated himself to a beer for a fine day of work. Ernie Els, who won at Oakmont in 1994, lamented rough so thick that not even the strongest players would be able to do more than get back into short grass.

The Masters brings excitement as the first major of the year on a course that metes out birdies and bogeys, eagles and double bogeys.

But yeah, this week it’s definitely not excitement. You know you’re going to be put under a lot of pressure on basically every single golf shot you hit out there. So you have to be prepared for that.

NBA FINALS

Warriors still like their position Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Stephen Curry sat on the bench and buried his head in his hand. Fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson wrapped a towel around his face.

This was misery for the Warriors and their fired-up fans, who made for the exits early during Monday’s 112-97 NBA Finals loss to the Cavaliers that sent the series back to Cleveland for a Game 6 on Thursday night.

They wanted so badly to do it for Draymond Green, do it for each other, and for their home crowd this time.

Instead, Golden State is going to Ohio again. One flight the Warriors surely would have preferred not to take at this road-weary stage of another extralong season, but it will be

well worth it if they hoist a second straight trophy when these NBA Finals finally end.

Their “Strength in Numbers” mantra was tested once more in a game that mattered so much. The Warriors lost at home for only the second time this postseason and fourth overall.

Yet there’s no panic now for the defending champions after LeBron James and the Cavs forced at least one more game in what has become quite the testy rematch.

The Warriors lead the series 3-2 and still have the upper hand.

“We’re all disappointed. We want to win,” guard Shaun Livingston said. “With the stakes being what they are right now, obviously it’s a gut

punch. But it’s the finals.

It’s not going to be easy.

They’re not going to lay down. It doesn’t matter who’s on the court. We’ve got to play.”

Golden State will get a boost having emotional leader and All-Star forward Green back after he sat out Game 5 serving a suspension for a Game 4 swipe at James’ groin.

Fans chanted “Free Draymond! Free Dray-mond!” and large cutouts of his face waved from all corners of Oracle Arena as he watched from a baseball suite next door in the Oakland Coliseum.

“You want to win here more than anything for your fans. They deserve to see us win, but you just suck it up and move on,” Thompson said. “We’re still in a great position.”

While Green returns for Game 6, the Warriors might be down big man Andrew Bogut. The 7-foot center sprained his left knee early in the third quarter Monday and was scheduled for an MRI exam Tuesday before the team traveled. Bogut has been an imposing presence with his shot-blocking ability, but the Warriors have some depth at the position and often use a center-bycommittee approach with Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights among others like Anderson Varejao getting regular opportunities to contribute.

“If there’s a chance he’s out Thursday, our bigs are just going to have to step up. Been doing it all year,” Thompson said.

Defensively, the Warriors must find a way to

keep James and Kyrie Irving from going off the way they did Monday, with each scoring 41 points.

Not that the alwaysconfident Warriors are overly concerned. They are a group that bounced back from every rare loss during a record-setting, 73-win regular season.

Golden State is 14-1 following a defeat.

“We’re in the same place we were last year, up 3-2 heading back to Cleveland. If you told me this before the series, I would have taken it,” coach Steve Kerr said.

“So we’re in a good spot.

We’re disappointed we didn’t win tonight, but, like I said, they outplayed us. They deserved the win. And we’ll go back to Cleveland and we’ll play a better game for sure.”

Golden State doesn’t have much further to fall after shooting a postseason-low 36.4 percent — its first game below a 40 percent clip — despite getting 37 points from Thompson with six threepointers and Curry’s 25 with five threes.

“You tip your hat to them. They had a great night,” Curry said.

The Warriors are trying to close out the fifth championship in franchise history and third since moving out West from Philadelphia in 196263. Each of the last two since coming to the Bay Area have been clinched on the road — the first title in 40 years last June and also in 1975, when the Warriors won at Washington with a four-game sweep of the Bullets.

already looking a bit bulkier than a year ago.

I’m getting stronger, going with Hudy (Andrea, strength coach) every day, every morning just getting my body ready.

I’ve put on six, seven pounds of muscle so far,” Bragg said. “I’m building more. I’ll probably put on another 10 hopefully. It’s about eating right, getting challenged each and every day.”

He said he was pushed around on the block his freshman campaign.

veterans had a lot of experience over us. They knew what to do. We were just out there learning. It was hard but fun at the same time.”

Bragg’s also been working on his skill set this June.

“Getting back in shape, working on my jumper, pull-ups,” he said. “Ballhandling and the mindset to attack, attack. It (his game) is going to be a big surprise for everybody this year, trust me.”

Bragg said he’s been amazed at the play of freshman big Udoka Azubuike, who stands 7-foot, 270.

“He’s a big fella. I think he’s 7-feet, 7-1,” Bragg said. “Wait until he starts getting angles and knowing the experience like we do. He’s going to be

tough, tough. When he gets the ball he really can score. It doesn’t matter.

He’s going to dunk it. I didn’t know he could run the floor like that. He can run for a big fella.”

Of frosh forward Lightfoot, a 6-8, 210-pounder, Bragg said: “I’ve taken Mitch under my wing, leading him by example.

I love his game. His personality is great. He reminds me of myself.”

And for freshman guard Josh Jackson, Bragg said: “He’s my roommate.

He likes to joke around.

He’s feeling more comfortable with us.”

Bragg was in an especially good mood on Tuesday, a day after his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers stunned Golden State in the Bay Area to cut the deficit to three

games to two in the NBA Finals with Game 6 on Thursday in Cleveland.

“I’m loving it,” Bragg said. “Good win yesterday. I think we’re going to come out and win. I knew they had that mindset, the killer instinct and LeBron (James) with his leadership carried the team. They’ve just got to buckle down on defense, stop (Stephon) Curry and Klay (Thompson), stop them from having those 30- and 40-point games.”

Bragg, by the way, might be convinced for an encore of his piano playing at this fall’s Late Night in the Phog. He recently shocked some campers by performing for them.

“They were very amazed,” Bragg said.

days, and I didn’t play it my sophomore year because we had Bryce (Torneden). But now, I’m kind of filling the role.

Watching Bryce, I get things from him. I know exactly what to do — be aggressive at safety.”

Bowlin said the scrimmages were like a benchmark for the players, showing how strong they are against certain teams.

It was a similar format from the KU camp, but without the atmosphere of having dozens of teams there.

“I see improvement, but I also see a lot of

things where we thought we were doing well last week and we didn’t do so well today,” Lisher said. “But that’s typical.

Hopefully we can get a lot of that worked out of us before we actually get into it this fall.

That’s the reason we do this.”

Meanwhile, Lawrence’s football team is happy to see progress since its team camp opened three weeks ago.

The Lions have plenty of players sliding into new starting roles and they are starting to become more comfortable.

“We’re getting the hang of it,” senior running back Trey Moore said. “A lot of guys are stepping up into their roles as they should be. Just getting more into the flow.”

That includes junior quarterback Dante Jackson, who is preparing for his first year at the position in his football career.

He connected on a few passes to junior receiver Ekow Boye-Doe over the middle.

“I feel a lot more confident,” senior safety Cade Burghart said. “Dante is just getting the hang of the position at quarter-

back, so he’ll be looking good. The defense is coming together, too.”

Burghart noted the Lions have made big strides in the weight room over the past few weeks, which they hope will translate on the field throughout the year.

“We’ve progressed a lot,” said Moore, who missed the final seven games last year with a fractured scapula in his left shoulder. “Learned a lot of new plays. Just made a lot of transitions from positions and stuff with new players. That helps us a lot.”

Chiefs running back Charles on field for minicamp Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles was on the practice field for the start of a three-day minicamp, though All-Pro safety Eric Berry was

absent as his representatives negotiate a longterm contract.

Charles has been ahead of schedule after having surgery last season to repair a torn ACL in his

right knee. He has been involved in some of the voluntary workouts prior to Tuesday, and has insisted all along that he intends to be ready by the start of training camp.

Charles was hurt in a Week 5 game against the Bears.

Berry has been absent all offseason after getting the franchise tag, which would pay him

about $10.8 million next season. Since he has not signed the franchise tender, he is not under contract and obligated to attend the mandatory minicamp.

Several city athletes were named to the AllSunflower League track and field team for their performances at league, regional and state meets last month.

Lawrence High seniors Amani Bledsoe (shot put), JD Woods (100-meter dash), Tayvien Robinson (110 hurdles) earned firstteam honors for the boys’ team alongside Free State senior Ethan Donley (800 and 1,600).

Woods (200), LHS junior Trey Moore (110 and 300 hurdles) and Free State senior Tanner Hockenbury (3,200) were placed on the second team in those events.

Free State’s Hockenbury (1,600) and Simeon Windibiziri (javelin), along with Lawrence’s Bledsoe (discus) and 4x100 and 4x400 relays were honorable mention.

For the girls, Free State senior Callie Hicks (pole vault) and Lawrence’s 4x400 relay — Myah Yoder, Hannah Stewart, Evann Seratte and Kyleigh Severa — were named to the first team.

FSHS senior Hannah Walter (shot put) and junior Emily Venters (3,200), along with LHS junior Lexi Anglin (javelin) and freshman Seratte (400) earned a spot on the second team.

Venters (800 and 1,600) and Severa (long jump and 200) received honorable mentions in multiple events.

KU track lands NCAA honor Kansas University’s women’s track and field and cross country program finished 13th in the Program of the Year standings, the USTFCCCA announced Tuesday.

KU finished 52nd in the team standings at the NCAA Outdoor and 21st at the NCAA Indoor. Those finishes, along with KU’s 27th-place finish at the NCAA cross country championships, gave the team its highest finish in the standings for the Program of the Year Award, which honors the school that has the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field) based on the NCAA championships.

In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for each of the NCAA Championships.

Scoring is based on the team’s finish at each NCAA Championship in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award recipient.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

American League

Orioles take over first The Associated Press

American League Orioles 3, Red Sox 2 Boston — Manny Machado hit a two-run home run, Chris Tillman struck out seven and Baltimore snapped a threegame losing streak with a victory over Boston.

The teams entered the three-game series tied atop the American League East. Baltimore has won five of the eight meetings with Boston this season.

Tillman (9-1) is 8-0 in his last 10 starts, the longest streak by an Orioles pitcher since Erik Bedard won nine straight decisions in 2007.

Despite the Orioles’ recent pitching struggles, he said he’s not trying to do anything special on the mound.

“I don’t put any more added pressure on myself than need be,” Tillman said. “I just think just keeping the same game plan, going out and making pitches. And quality pitches, to get to result that you need.”

Jonathan Schoop added a solo homer in the eighth inning for the Orioles.

Tillman’s lone mistake was a home run in the seventh to Jackie Bradley, Jr. Zach Britton earned his 20th save in 20 tries.

David Price (7-4) took the loss, despite finishing with 11 strikeouts in eight innings and retiring 19 straight at one point.

Rays 8, Mariners 7 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Evan Longoria and Corey Dickerson had three RBIs apiece and Tampa Bay rallied from an early fourrun deficit to beat Seattle.

Longoria’s seventh homer in his last 10 games, a three-run shot off Nick Vincent, tied it at 7 in the seventh. Mike Montgomery (2-2) entered and walked two straight before Dickerson’s RBI single put Tampa Bay ahead 8-7.

Ryan Garton (1-0) got the final two outs in the seventh for his first major league win. Alex Colome worked the ninth to get his 19th save in as many chances.

Mariners starter Taijuan Walker left with one out in the fourth after aggravating his right Achilles tendon. No other details were immediately available about the injury.

Tigers 11, White Sox 8 Chicago — Justin Upton doubled, tripled and drove in four runs; J.D. Martinez had three of Detroit’s season-high seven doubles and the Tigers this time held on to a big lead, beating the skidding White Sox. After blowing a 7-0 lead in a 12-inning loss a night earlier, the Tigers raced to a 10-2 edge in the fourth and overcame a second straight subpar start by Jordan Zimmermann (9-3) for their eighth win in 10 games.

Zimmermann allowed six runs — four earned — and eight hits in seven innings, but got plenty of help.

Miguel Cabrera went 4 for 5 with two doubles for the Tigers, who had 16 hits and a baserunner in every inning.

Miguel Gonzalez (1-2) needed 91 pitches to get 10 outs, allowing seven runs and eight hits in Chicago’s 23rd loss in 32 games.

Jason Heyward provided a two-run single for Chicago, which evened the three-game series between division leaders.

Washington, which had won four straight, tied it in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Anthony Rendon off closer Hector Rondon.

Taillon (1-0) was recalled from the minors before the game when Pittsburgh put ace Gerrit Cole on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right triceps. The touted rookie certainly showed what all the fuss is about, outpitching All-Star Jacob deGrom (3-3) in a rematch with the defending NL champions.

Interleague Astros 5, Cardinals 2 St. Louis — Doug Fister pitched effectively into the eighth inning and gave Houston breathing room with a two-run single in a victory over St. Louis.

Colby Rasmus hit his 150th career homer in his first game back in St. Louis since 2011. Fister had been 0 for 2 on the season before hitting the first pitch from reliever Seung Hwan Oh up the middle to put the Astros up by three in the seventh.

Matt Adams and Brandon Moss homered for the Cardinals, whose season-best five-game winning streak ended.

Fister (7-3) allowed two runs and five hits in 71⁄3 innings, his longest outing of the season.

Bite Sighs

SWEET

Audrey Lintner 6 oz. flour Pretty intense, eh? I will caution you about one thing: measure by weight, not by volume. I’ve discovered that the four-ounce sticks of butter that I’ve been buying are, in reality, barely over three ounces each. And now, back to our regularly-scheduled recipe.

reetings, kitchen cronies! There are some things in life that are meant to go together. Peanut butter and jelly, cookies and cream, me and

anything chocolate.

Another great pairing is summer and shortbread.

This stripped-down staple is not only a must for any baker’s repertoire, it’s also perfect for warm-

weather desserts.

Shortbread is baked at a lower temperature, so your kitchen stays cooler. It only uses three simple ingredients you probably have on hand already, so no extra trips to the store

in a sunbaked car. The Simple recipe doesn’t call for Shortbread whipped this or fluffy that, so you can even Cookies skip the appliances and crank these cookies Ingredients: out by hand.

2 oz. sugar Heck, you don’t even 4 oz. unsalted butter have to grease the pan!

Directions: Throw the butter into a smallish mixing bowl and let it sit for an hour or so until it’s softened. Add the sugar and mash it into the butter until the gritty sound goes away.

Shake in the flour, two or so ounces at a time, and blend thoroughly.

A note here: Too much mooshing and kneading will leave you with tough cookies and really greasy hands. You should wind up with a ball of what feels kind of like modeling clay, cool to the touch and with the last of the flour just mixed in.

Pat the dough into an 8-inch cake pan. Flatten it out as best you can with your hands, then carefully slice it into eight reasonably equal triangles. Using a toothpick or a fork, poke a cool pattern into the top of each triangle. Slide the pan into the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.

While the dough gets cozy with the milk and salad greens, preheat your oven to 325 degrees. At the 20-minute mark, stick the pan of soon-to-be cookies into the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are just barely golden brown and the entire house smells like butter.

Let the shortbread cool in the pan for 10 or 15 minutes.

Give the pan a couple of good whacks on the side and flip the shortbread out onto a towel. Turn it right-side up on a flat plate. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut along the scored lines and separate your shortbread into servings.

While shortbread is fantastic plain, some folks (namely my husband), are not that into “nekkid cookies.” Get creative! Drizzle the tops with chocolate and chopped hazelnuts for a decadent treat. Top with a glaze of lime juice and powdered sugar, and sprinkle with decorator sugar to make margarita shortbread. You are limited only by your imagination and pantry. Enjoy!

Cut the prosciutto slices in half crosswise and fold them into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide (the same width as the scallops) and 5 inches long.

Arrange the strips on a work surface and place a basil leaf in the center of each strip. Top the leaf with a scallop and wrap the prosciutto around the scallop to enclose it.

Thread 4 prosciutto-wrapped scallops onto each of 4 metal skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them for 20 minutes in water before threading the scallops.)

Pat the exposed scallop surfaces dry and brush them lightly with olive oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook the scallops for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until almost firm to the touch, transfer to plates and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

The weather is heating up...

Farro, raw asparagus marry for hearty summer salad

By Katie Workman

will be too tough.

Associated Press

Farro is a hearty whole grain that may well become a staple in your kitchen, in everything from soups and casseroles to sides and salads.

Once a mainstay of the ancient Roman diet, farro is high in fiber and a good source of iron and protein, which also makes it a great anchor for numerous vegetarian dishes. Try using it in recipes that you might ordinarily reach for barley or brown rice.

Fresh herbs and other leafy greens in whole grain salads balance out the heft of the grains and also provide a lovely pop of color and freshness. And I make these kinds of salads continuously during the warmer months, since they keep well, and having a whole grain salad in the fridge means you never have to wonder what to make for lunch on those days when you’re feeling unimaginative. Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper — the seasonings really lift the flavor.

Finally, raw asparagus may seem surprising, but if the asparagus is very fresh it add a wonderful delicate asparagus flavor and a nice crunch. If the outer peel is thick, peel the bottom half of the stalks before thinly slicing them, or the texture

Stressed? Phosphatidylserine Might Help You Manage It Chronic stress has wide-ranging effects on the body, including heightened activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA), which ramps up the body’s production of the hormone cortisol. Long-term, the effects can lead to adrenal exhaustion, persistent fatigue, and an increased risk of heart disease.

Juliane Hellhammer, PhD, of the Diagnostic Assessment and Clinical Research Organization in Trier, Germany, and her colleagues tested the effects of a combination of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidic acid (PA), a related compound, on 75 healthy men. Phosphatidylserine is an essential brain compound involved in cognition and mood.

Natural Factors®

.

The subjects were classified as having high or low stress, and they were given . one of three supplements for 42 days: 200 mg of PS and 200 mg of PA, 400 mg of PS and 400 mg of PA, or placebos.

Bromelain 500 mg

After six weeks, the subjects underwent a standardized psychological stress test. Those who had been in the high-stress group and taking the higher dose of PS and PA benefited from a normalized stress response, based on cortisol levels in their saliva and blood. Subjects in the low-stress group and those taking the low dose of PS and PA or placebos did not benefit.

A soy-based phosphatidylserine/ phosphatidic acid complex (PAS) normalizes the stress reactivity of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal-axis in chronically stressed male subjects: a randomized, placebo-controlled study.

Magnesium Boosts Physical Performance

25

$

Magnesium supplements can enhance physical performance in older women, according to a study conducted at the University of Padova, Italy. Fifty-three women, whose average age was 71 years, were given 300 mg of magnesium daily, and they were then compared with 71 women who did not take any supplements or placebos. Women taking magnesium had a better physical performance score on a standardized test, were able to repeatedly stand up from a sitting position more quickly, and had faster walking speeds.
