Indicted firm hired for Rock Chalk Park work ———

Company accused in money laundering, undocumented worker scheme

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A company at the center of an alleged multimillion dollar scheme involving money laundering and undocumented workers was hired as part of the construction of the stadium portion of the Rock Chalk Park sports complex, an attorney for Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel has confirmed.

COURTS Jose R. Torres Drywall was used as a subcontractor by Fritzel’s Bliss Sports II LC, Edward Frizell, an attorney for Fritzel and Bliss Sports II, said in a written statement.

ALTHOUGH “THE HOLY FAMILY AT WORK� (by Carl Muller, 1866) appears to be a simple portrait of the Holy Family, many objects in the painting refer to Christ’s crucifixion. Some objects, like the lamb to the left of Christ, are familiar symbols of Christ’s sacrifice. The words of John the Baptist’s scroll also refer to Christ’s future sacrifice: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.� The painting belongs to Kansas University’s Spencer Museum of Art.

Pro-business lobby groups KU works to eliminate obstacles wield power

for commercial drones — literally

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Commercial drones are raring to hit the skies and check crops, film movies, chase police suspects, inspect bridges, deliver medicine to remote areas and drop online purchases at

your doorstep.

But with fleets of drones unleashed, what will keep them from crashing into things — including each other?

Collision avoidance technology is one of the big obstacles to gaining federal approval for commercial

use of small unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. And some Kansas University engineers are working on it.

Drone technology developed at KU includes a miniature on-board radar system and an instrument that enables match-tip sized sound-sensing devices to be

Supreme Court ruling reingnites painkiller case Wichita (ap) — A U.S. Supreme Court decision last year has breathed new life into the case of a former Kansas doctor and his wife, who were convicted for a moneymaking conspiracy at a pain clinic linked to 68 overdose deaths.

Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, were convicted in 2010 of conspiracy to commit health care fraud resulting in those deaths, unlawfully prescribing drugs, health care fraud and money laundering at a Haysville clinic the government portrayed as a “pill mill.”

Schneider was convicted on 18 counts and sentenced to 30 years, while his wife was convicted on 32 counts and sentenced to 33 years.

A federal appeals court has already agreed with their convictions and sentences, and the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear their case.

But what had been a long-shot motion asking the trial judge for a new trial due to ineffective legal counsel gained added momentum in the wake of the high court’s rul-

ing in a separate case in January 2014. In that case, the victim’s drug use had to be the actual cause of death — not merely a contributing factor — for convictions under the federal Controlled Substances Act. U.S. District Judge Monti Belot appointed new attorneys for the couple to specifically address that ruling’s impact in the Schneiders’ case, and he is now mulling over a string of court filings involving the issue that culminated Thursday in federal court in Wichita. None of the lawyers involved are commenting on the case.

The Schneiders could potentially receive a new trial or sentencing if the judge agrees with the couple’s attorneys that jurors should have been instructed to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the deaths involved in several of the counts against them were directly caused by a specific prescribed drug, and not merely a combination of drugs.

KU tech also for hobby drones

USA Today adds value, fills readers’ needs for news

By Julie Wright Twitter: @LJWorld

If you’ve read the Journal-World even infrequently lately, you’ve noticed that we added a section of national and international news from USA Today and that we’re eager to hear what you think about it.

Last week, during one of our monthly Coffee and a Newspaper sessions, General Manager Scott Stanford talked with our guests about how the USA Today section fits into our long-term plans.

All newspapers face the same challenges. Nationally, from 1965 to 2012, the percentage of people answering “yes” to the question “Did you read a newspaper yester-

day?” fell from 65 percent to 29 percent. Newspaper advertising revenue went from about $66 billion in 2000 to $23.6 billion in 2013. This comes at a time when easy access to newspaper content on computers and smartphones means our audiences have never been larger.

On our websites — ljworld.com, KUSports. com, WellCommons and Lawrence.com — we serve 80,000 unique users a day. That’s two and a half times our print readership. But our revenue still comes mostly from print.

So you see the problem.

Our readers are growing but ad dollars aren’t following them to digital.

At the Journal-World, 65

“

While newspapers across the country are printing fewer days of the week or going all-digital, we are investing in a significant improvement to our product.”

percent of our revenue comes from advertising associated with our print news products. People paying for the paper account for 16 percent of revenue, and advertising on digital accounts for 19 percent. It’s important, Stanford told our guests, that we grow the digital and reader portions of the revenue pie. Making the newspaper more valuable is an important factor for the latter category.

The result across the country is smaller news-

rooms with smaller newspapers.

Nationwide, newsroom jobs have declined 33 percent since 2006, from 58,000 to 37,000. The JournalWorld and other Kansas newspapers have seen those kind of job losses.

That’s not just bad for us as a business; it’s bad for readers who count on us to tell them the stories that won’t be told without an independent media.

Think Chad Lawhorn’s coverage of the Rock Chalk Park finances or

KC woman charged with theft of more than $100,000 of goods Overland Park (ap) — A suburban Kansas City woman is charged with stealing more than $100,000 in merchandise.

The Kansas City Star reports that a single theft charge was filed Friday against 45-year-old Kelli

Jo Bauer. Police have carted off multiple vans full of suspected stolen goods from her $900,000 home in an upscale Overland Park development.

The Johnson County district attorney’s office says police began investi-

gating after they learned Bauer was selling “highend” women’s clothing on Facebook swap-and-shop sites. A police spokesman says it probably will take several weeks for the items to be cataloged to determine their value.

Magistrate Judge Dan Vokins set several conditions before lowering her bond to $20,000.

Karen Dillon’s coverage of fracking, the unsolved Randy Leach disappearance or Kansas University’s use of planes.

What does USA Today have to do with any of this? For our loyal print readers, our addition of the section is a great sign.

While newspapers across the country are printing fewer days of the week or going all-digital, we are investing in a significant improvement to our product. A newspaper planning for its demise does not add sections.

Our plan is to be here.

And this addresses one of the most-heard complaints about the paper: the lack of national and international news. I think it’s right to devote our staff to covering Law-

rence and Douglas County like no one else, but we also know that some of our readers do not get news from Internet sources. This fills a gap.

Feedback on the section has been more than 90 percent positive. We’d like to hear what you think. Send your thoughts to feedback@ljworld. com.

Coffee and a Newspaper sessions are your chance to visit the Journal-World, learn what’s new and tell us what’s on your mind. I will host the next session at noon on May 7, here at the newspaper office, 645 New Hampshire St. — Julie Wright is managing editor of the Journal-World.

its owner, Jose TorresGarcia, were named as central figures in a federal indictment that alleges Torres served as a financial intermediary to process about $13 million worth of payments made to undocumented workers on drywall crews in Alyssa Specht, the greater Kansas City student, Topeka area.

“I’ll probably have dinner “During the time Jose with my family.”

R. Torres Drywall was providing subcontractor services on Rock Chalk Park, Bliss Sports was unaware of any of the irregularities mentioned in the recent indictment of Jose R. Torres Drywall,” Frizell said in his statement.

Torres-Garcia has pleaded guilty to a series of charges related to the alleged scheme and has begun cooperating with federal prosecutors as part of a plea agreement.

In the agreement, TorresGarcia stated that Jose R. Torres Drywall never opMike Mcloud, erated as a legitimate dryretail, Lawrence wall company, but rather “We are going to have “operated as a money redinner with the family and then unfortunately mitter.”

“They (his three attorneys) get paid by my enemy,” Miller said. “I don’t trust anybody who works

for the government.”

Miller, of Aurora, Missouri, is accused of killing Dr. William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, who were at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City

on April 13, 2014, for a singing contest audition.

He also is accused of fatally shooting 53-yearold Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother at a Jewish retirement home in nearby Overland Park.

of shared infrastructure that serves the city and KU facilities.

Frizell indicated Torres served as one of several drywall contractors that worked on the stadium portions of the project.

Although a Fritzel-related firm — Gene Fritzel Construction — won the low bid to construct the city’s recreation center, Frizell said that the Torres firm did not work on the cityowned recreation center.

He said longtime Lawrence contractor Kenneth Sloan Drywall served as the drywall subcontractor for the recreation center. City Manager David Corliss said that is his understanding as well.

City officials said they don’t have reason to believe that undocumented workers were used on the city-funded portions of the job site, on drywall or other parts of the project.

The city provided funding for the recreation center and the shared infrastructure, but did not provide funding for the stadium projects.

of the land that houses the complex.

A spokeswoman with Kansas University Endowment issued a brief statement from the association and from Kansas Athletics: “When the indictment of Jose R. Torres Drywall came to light, Bliss Sports made Kansas Athletics aware that the company had performed work at Rock Chalk Park.

Bliss informed us that it was unaware of any of the irregularities mentioned in the indictment, and we have had subsequent discussions with Bliss Sports about this issue.”

City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer — who, if tradition holds, is set to become the city’s next mayor following Tuesday’s elections — said he wanted to hear more about the circumstances surrounding the hiring of Torres-Garcia’s firm, but he said it was concerning.

“It appears to be a pretty egregious error,” Farmer said. “If he has acknowledged hiring the firm, that is not a good deal.”

Frizell did not respond to a request seeking further information on how Bliss Sports II came to hire Torres-Garcia’s firm or how Bliss did not know about the firm’s role in the alleged undocumented worker scheme. Frizell confirmed that Jose R.

Torres Drywall had been used as a subcontractor at Rock Chalk Park after the Journal-World obtained a 1099 federal tax form that showed Bliss Sports II LC had paid the Torres firm a little more than $71,000 in 2013. It is unclear whether Bliss used the firm in other years as well.

In the indictment against Plaster Masters and the other defendants, prosecutors spell out how they believe the scheme worked. Among the details: l Torres-Garcia’s firm was not responsible for providing drywall crews to the actual job sites.

Instead, “subcontractors would contract directly with the drywall crews but would use Torres as the financial intermediary.” l Drywall crews would direct contractors to make their checks payable to Jose R. Torres Drywall. The contractors would give the checks directly to crew members, who then took the checks to a mobile phone store that Torres-Garcia worked at in Olathe. Torres-Garcia then would deposit those checks into one of his accounts, and on the following day withdraw cash that was given to the drywall crew members. Torres-Garcia would keep 5 percent of the total for his services.

Prosecutors found that between October 2012 and June 2014, TorresGarcia deposited about $13.2 million worth of checks into his accounts.

The charges against Plaster Masters and the six individuals connected with the firm represent a change in direction on prosecution of illegal immigration cases. Grissom, at last month’s press conference, said he intends to hold the contractors who have hired the undocumented workers responsible.

“We thought there has to be a better, more humane, and from the taxpayers’ standpoint, a more effective way to address this problem,” Grissom said. “We have targeted what we believe is one of the major focuses that is driving our illegal immigration problem, which is employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers.”

In the Plaster Masters case, the defendants are facing 31 charges. The most serious are money laundering, which has a maximum penalty of 20 years and a fine of up to $500,000, and bank fraud, which has a maximum penalty of 30 years and a fine up to $1 million.

Wanting to hear more City officials said they intend to monitor the federal case for any developments that would affect the city.

“If allegations become facts and we need to respond accordingly, we’ll do that,” Corliss said.

City commissioners said that if a finding is made that undocumented workers were used at Rock Chalk Park, it would be a disappointment.

“If this is true, it clearly is not a situation that we as taxpayers want to be involved with,” said City Commissioner Mike Dever, who has been a supporter of the public-private partnership between the city, Fritzel and Kansas University Endowment, which owns much

ROADWORK

Watch for utility work on 22nd Street, Lawrence Avenue Staff Reports

Lawrence: l Utility crews will install a new water line on West 22nd Street from Naismith to Ousdahl.

Work will be completed within the right-of-way, and temporary road closures will occur. The projected completion date for this project is July 17. l Utility crews will be replacing a water line on Lawrence Avenue from

27th Street to 31st Street.

Temporary road closures may occur through April 14. l Utility crews are installing a new water line on Hilltop Drive from Ninth Street to Oxford Road. During the project, there will be temporary road closures on Hilltop Drive. The projected completion date for this project is May 29. l Demolition and construction activities have started on a new apartment complex south

of 11th Street between Mississippi and Indiana streets. Existing public on-street parking on the south side of 11th Street, the east side of Mississippi Street and the west side of Indiana Street will not be available during construction. The project is expected to last through July 2016. l A project is underway to construct a new diamond interchange at Kansas Highway 10 and Bob Billings Parkway.

Work will take place

during daylight hours Monday through Friday. At this time, there are minimal motorist impacts, but the work has caused a need to detour the South Lawrence Trafficway trail between Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway. This is a popular trail route and bicyclists should take note of the detour during construction.

South Lawrence Trafficway: l Both the eastbound and westbound left lanes on K-10 from East 1650 Road to East 1900 Road are closed while work is being done on the new

Make an

interchange at K-10 and 23rd Street. These lane closures are expected to last through late December. East 1900 Road and County Road 442 will both remain open throughout the project.

of Overbrook, to be tried for first-degree murder in the killing of Colton Chad Christenson.

Seventeen-year-old Anthony Bond Massengill testified there was a struggle when Fairchild tried to get out of Christenson’s car without paying $500 for mari-

juana. Massengill, who hasn’t been charged, said Fairchild shot Christenson with a revolver.

The car traveled about 15 feet before crashing into a home’s front porch. Christenson was pronounced dead at a hospital. No one inside the home was injured.

Power CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

teachers and other public employee unions remain alive in the Legislature, despite strong opposition from teachers and most other individuals who would be affected by them.

And another bill that would have extended health care coverage through the state Medicaid system to an estimated 180,000 uninsured Kansans appears likely to go nowhere, despite support for it from Kansas hospitals, the state medical society and virtually the entire health care industry in Kansas.

In case after case, many Statehouse observers have noted, the fate of major pieces of legislation this year has depended on one thing: the support or opposition it receives from a small number of probusiness lobby groups led by the Kansas Chamber, Americans for Prosperity, and the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute.

“That’s basically David and Charles Koch that run our state Legislature,” said Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, which heard and passed the anti-union legislation. “They drive the legislative agenda up here when it comes to tax and commerce policy.”

Billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch are co-owners of Wichita-based Koch Industries, one of the Kansas Chamber’s “cornerstone members.” They also founded Americans for Prosperity, a nationwide network of groups that advocate for pro-business, freemarket policies.

Kansas Policy Institute is a think tank and lobbying organization that is part of the State Policy Network and the American Legislative Exchange Council, both of which are funded by the Koch brothers.

Some conservatives dispute the idea that those groups are driving the Legislature. Rep. Scott Schwab, R-Olathe, argues that in some cases, it’s the other way around.

“We’re not doing it because the Kansas Chamber told us to,” Schwab said. “We’re doing it because we believe it’s the appropriate way to govern, and the Kansas Chamber just happens to agree with us.”

School finance overhaul The school finance overhaul was perhaps the most significant and visible example of a bill that appeared, based on committee testimony, to have no popular support outside the small group of pro-business lobby groups.

The bill, which had only been unveiled to the public a few days earlier, was the subject of only one day of testimony on March 9.

Nearly every school district in the state, with the exceptions of Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley, either issued statements or submitted testimony opposing it.

It was also opposed by the Kansas Association of School Boards, United School Administrators of Kansas, several district superintendents and other education groups.

According to the official minutes of the hearing, the only oral testimony in favor of the bill came from Mike O’Neal, president of the Kansas Chamber, and James Franko of Kansas Policy Institute.

The next day, it passed out of committee and was

inserted into a Senate bill, a procedural move that allowed it to bypass the Senate’s committee process.

The following Friday, it passed the full House by a vote of 64-57 after leaders held the roll open for two hours in order to round up three absent Republican supporters.

The following Monday, it came to the Senate for a straight up-or-down vote and passed, 25-14.

On Wednesday, March 25, barely two weeks after it had been unveiled, Gov. Sam Brownback signed it into law in a private ceremony in his office, with no advance notice to news media.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said she was surprised that the two business groups had more sway over the process than the education groups.

“I don’t know that we would question that, in the finance committee, we would have banks and insurance companies show up,” Francisco said.

“So why would we be surprised if, on a school bill, we hear from school administrators, teachers and students? And then all of a sudden we have other people who come in and say, ‘we’re speaking for the general public.’ So there is this concern about who really represents the general public.”

Labor rights and Medicaid The following week, a similar situation occurred when the Senate Commerce Committee took testimony on two bills: one to prohibit public agencies from collecting union dues through payroll deductions; and another to limit the scope of collective bargaining for all public employee unions and abolish the Public Employee Relations Board.

Dozens of union officials and individual state employees turned out to testify against the bills.

The only proponents, other than the Republican sponsor of one of the bills and members of Gov. Sam Brownback’s cabinet, were three business groups: the Chamber; Americans for Prosperity; and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

Americans for Prosperity is a nationwide organization that describes itself as “advancing every individual’s right to economic freedom and opportunity.” It supports cutting both taxes and government spending and was founded by Charles and David Koch, who run Wichita-based Koch Industries.

The union bills were combined into a single bill and quickly passed out of committee. And while the combined bill stalled on the floor of the Senate, it remains alive in another Senate committee and it’s expected to be debated and voted on again after lawmakers return April 29.

Likewise, the Medicaid expansion bill was the subject of high profile hearings that were packed with supporters representing the bulk of the Kansas health care industry.

Opponents included Kansas Policy Institute, a few individuals from Kansas, and two representatives from the national organization of Americans for Prosperity.

“We certainly plan to hold accountable every legislator who supports this misguided scheme and applaud those who choose to stand with Kansas taxpayers and patients instead,” said

Akash Chougule, an AFP senior policy analyst from Washington, D.C. Rep. Jim Ward, DWichita, who had sponsored the bill, said he was shocked by the statement.

“I have never heard a conferee threaten members in testimony,” Ward said.

Source of influence Ward said the source of the groups’ power is their ability to funnel money, either directly or indirectly, into election campaigns.

“It has to do with Citizens United and the expansion of third-party money that’s unidentified, non-transparent, but there’s oceans of it in Kansas,” Ward said.

“And it has a huge effect on races that used to cost $20,000 to $30,000, and now are running $50,000 to $75,000 to run for the House. And when you raise the cost of campaigning, it gives that money much more influence.”

Schwab said he doesn’t believe those groups have as much influence over elections as Democrats allege.

“In the primaries last year, the Chamber didn’t do very well. A lot of people they targeted, people they didn’t want to help, like me, won by huge margins. What’s winning is the Republican message, when it’s a positive message.”

Schwab said Republican candidates campaigned last year on a platform that included overhauling school finance, resisting expansion of Medicaid and changing the way state

Sunday, April 5, 2015

government does business.

“Elections have consequences,” Schwab said, “and the consequence of this election was for the Republicans to come in and change the way Kansas has been doing business for years,” he said.

“And so we’re doing that.

And when we tee these bills up, the Chamber agrees with what Republicans are doing because we’re a pro-business, promarket legislature.”

Robby is envisioned as a toy — maybe the type of thing alumni could buzz around Memorial Stadium while tailgating?

— albeit a high-tech and powerful toy, associate professor of aerospace engineering Ron BarrettGonzalez said.

Robby is a convertible quadcopter, “nextlevel” compared with the highest-tech quadcopter drones sold for entertainment today, Barrett-Gonzalez said.

Robby’s cousin, the B model, is envisioned for military and police use but isn’t yet ready to debut, Barrett-Gonzalez said. That model is more likely to need — and its owners more likely able to afford — on-board collision-avoidance technology before hitting the skies.

To keep it from straying far from its operator, the A model would be

Drones CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

before drones can proliferate like the industry is hoping,” said Suman Saripalli, who co-owns KalScott Engineering, a Lwawrence firm specializing in developing drones and related technology, and who has mentored one of the KU students.

Saripalli described a potential scenario: Let’s say Amazon gets FAA approval to deliver orders via small drones, like the online giant hopes.

A drone would have to find its way through a neighborhood, perhaps encounter a moving car in the driveway and hover several seconds to avoid it, fly 15 feet another direction, then hover again until the dog gets off the porch, then move on to its target, the front door.

“All of these things have to be taken into account instantaneously,” Saripalli said. “That’s the sort of intelligence that’s required, and that’s not easy to come by. It’s a very, very tough engineering problem to solve.”

Radar on board That’s especially true when technology must be small enough for the size, weight and power limitations of small drones.

In the past several years, electrical engineering doctoral student Lei Shi has taken his collision avoidance radar system from “an idea on the back of a napkin” to a business.

He has filed a provisional patent application on the technology through KU and founded a business, UAVradars LLC, through the KU Catalyst student business accelerator.

Shi first built a largescale “proof of concept” radar system. The metal slab is packed with circuit boards and wires, measures roughly 3-by-5feet and weighs about 50 pounds.

He tested it on a manned airplane in a ru-

ral area, and it worked, successfully alerting the plane to avoid a radio tower (though in this test, of course, the real live pilot was there to see and steer).

The next step was shrinking the radar down enough to fit on a small drone — an engineering feat, not as simple as just making every piece smaller, Shi said.

Now Shi has a handsized version of the radar, which has been successful in lab simulations.

The next goal is to test it on actual UAVs. With research and development mostly complete, Shi hopes his business will be able to commercialize the technology, including market analysis, pricing and manufacturing.

Listening for obstacles Another group of KU engineers has a patent and is ready to license a device called a micro anemometer anti-fouling instrument.

Here’s what that is, according to Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, associate professor of aerospace engineering: About five years ago a Dutch company developed an on-board collision avoidance device that relies on acoustics.

The MicroFlown device can detect and identify other flying objects based on the sounds they make; small drones usually sound like miniature fans, for example, and larger manned aircraft are more powerful.

A major flaw for MicroFlown?

Even just a drop of water would shut it down, so it basically couldn’t function outdoors, BarrettGonzalez said.

KU’s instrument uses electricity to shake off water, mold or dust — kind of like a wet dog shaking off, only at thousands of cycles per second.

“We didn’t develop the baseline technology, but we made it better and enabled it to work outside,” Barrett-Gonzalez said.

To detect and avoid stationary objects, he said KU’s technology could be coupled with other devices that could send out sound signals and listen

for reflections.

Complex challenges As for most research, securing funding is an ongoing challenge to moving forward, said KU electrical engineering professor Chris Allen, the adviser for Shi’s radar project.

Regulations pose another obstacle, one that’s more specific to field testing UAV collision avoidance technology.

Even for Shi to test his draft radar on the piloted aircraft, the plane needed FAA approval to go up with adaptive equipment plus FCC approval to use a radio frequency, since there’s no band set aside for such research.

“We have to be creative,” Allen said.

KU researchers are excited about the possibilities, though.

Barrett-Gonzalez and his students are working on developing drones that can fly long distances quickly in airplane mode then switch to hover mode to complete a task.

Barrett-Gonzalez said such flight capability coupled with good collision avoidance technology makes these drones safer.

He imagines them completing tasks such as carrying high-powered cameras to inspect bridges, sans lane closures or dangerous positioning for humans.

“It would be as if the inspector’s eyeballs were 6 inches away from the girder,” Barrett-Gonzalez said.

Collision avoidance technology needs to be ready before the drones are unleashed, researchers say.

Allen said the burden of safety should fall on UAVs, not the unsuspecting rest of the world.

“We want them to be used in a safe way so they can go out and make people’s lives more efficient and more productive, but we have to share the airspace,” Allen said. “If they ever cause harm to people or property, then that’s probably going to shut down the UAV business until we get issues squared away.”

Husband insensitive during wife’s hospital stays Dear Annie: My husband has the emotional IQ of a 10-yearold. I recently spent six hours in the emergency room for some tests to rule out a potentially life-threatening problem. I asked my husband to please drive me to the ER because the doctors did not advise that I drive myself home afterward. His response was that he needed to stay home and take care of our dog.

This is the second time he has done this.

Years ago, I had some outpatient surgery.

When the nurse went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found.

He had driven 45 minutes back to our house to take care of our dog and hadn’t returned.

After the six hours in the ER, I drove myself home. I was extremely

Tudor house intrigue on ‘Masterpiece’ The most notable show of this crowded weekend and perhaps the year is “Wolf Hall” on “Masterpiece” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings). Acclaimed British stage actor Mark Rylance stars as Thomas Cromwell, the adviser to Henry VIII (Damian Lewis), in this tale of Tudor intrigue adapted from Hilary Mantel’s best-selling books “Wolf Hall” and “Bring Up the Bodies.”

Perhaps not since Al Pacino played Michael Corleone has a character made quiet calculation so menacing and entertaining — and even sexy. Cromwell, born to brutal, humble origins, becomes indispensable to Henry as the king challenges Rome’s authority in hopes of marrying Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy) and securing a male heir.

Cromwell also tangles with Thomas More (Anton Lesser) and his efforts to assert Rome’s dominion over English faith, life, law and language.

It’s easy to see why so many dramatists return to this period and these historical characters.

This era sees not only the birth of the Church of England, but also translations of the Bible into common tongues. That would bring the English Reformation, revolution and the liberation of the English language, which would reach great heights in the Elizabethan era with the plays of Shakespeare and the publication of the Book of Common Prayer.

“Wolf Hall” builds slowly.

But it is not to be missed.

Tonight’s other highlights l Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): an interview with Jeh Johnson, secretary of Homeland Security; a profile of Wikipedia. l Charlton Heston stars in the 1956 epic “The Ten Commandments” (6 p.m., ABC). l A debt crisis on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS). l The Chicago Cubs host the St. Louis Cardinals (7 p.m., ESPN 2) on opening day of the Major League Baseball season. l The four-hour documentary event “Sinatra: All or Nothing at All” (7 p.m., HBO, concluding Monday) celebrates Old Blue Eyes in his centenary year. l The 2015 epic “Killing Jesus” (7 p.m., Fox News) recalls Christ’s last days.

You need to be very blunt on these occasions: “Honey, I need you to stay with me at the hospital because I get scared all by myself.

Topeka woman who killed man with car will be resentenced Topeka — A 21-yearold northeast Kansas man will stand trial in October in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that a Shawnee County judge determined

Friday there was enough evidence for Kelsey Lee Fairchild, of Overbrook, to be tried for first-degree murder in the killing of Colton Chad Christenson.

Seventeen-year-old Anthony Bond Massengill tes-

tified there was a struggle when Fairchild tried to get out of Christenson's car without paying $500 for marijuana. Massengill, who hasn't been charged, said Fairchild shot Christenson with a revolver.

THE ABENGOA BIOENERGY BIOMASS OF KANSAS PLANT IS PICTURED on March 10 in Hugoton. Once the facility is in full production it will create ethanol and the co-generation of electricity. The plant has had the side effect of drawing more business to the western Kansas community.

West Kansas city growing as plant prepares to open Associated Press

“

There are a lot of reasons we have been able to accomplish what we have. We were Hugoton — For Rebec- ready for opportunities.”

ca Degollado, the steady stream of tractor trailers along Main Street hauling milk, cattle and other agriculture products is a reminder this isn’t the same town in which she opened her business 13 years ago.

Back then, her Ranchita Tex-Mex Restaurant was the only Mexican restaurant in town. Today there are four. Hugoton is about to become the home of a second grocery store and a three-story motel at the southeast end of town. A pharmacy will open down the street from Ranchita in a matter of days. Plus, there is the first 2G cellulosic ethanol plant about to go into full operation just west of town.

The landscape of this community is changing and that brings a smile to the face of Stevens County Economic Development Director Neil Gillespie. He has been working tirelessly to bring industry to the county for years.

Hugoton, located 90 miles southwest of Dodge City on U.S. 56, has had the good fortune of sitting on a great gas field that was discovered 88 years ago. However, after decades of extracting this natural resource, reservoir pressures began declining, according to Kansas Geological Survey. Heeding the warning back in the late 1990s, Gillespie and others went in search of other sources of revenue for the community.

“There are a lot of reasons we have been able to accomplish what we have. We were ready for opportunities,” Gillespie said. “There have been ups and downs as there is with everything.”

From waste to wealth Meanwhile, in the past six years the hard work of selling the community to potential industries

— Neil Gillespie, Stevens County Economic Development Director became a reality when Abengoa of Madrid, Spain, committed to building Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas, the first commercial plant of its kind in the U.S. Abengoa received a $132.4 million loan guarantee and a $97 million grant through the Department of Energy to support construction of the Hugoton facility.The facility will create ethanol and the co-generation of electricity.

It’s a win-win for the community. Plus, about 200 area farmers will be paid $15 per ton for crop remains, providing an estimated $17 million per year of extra income for local farmers whose agricultural waste would otherwise have little or no value. None of the edible kernels of grain are used; it’s 100 percent plant fiber and does not negatively impact the food supply, said Thomas Robb, Abengoa’s manager of institutional relations.

“It’s harvested according to the NRCS guidelines,” said Robb. “We adhere to the number that stays on the field so we don’t have dust.”

Robb said drier conditions in this part of the world helped make it a prime location for such a plant. The residue needs to be dry when it’s baled.

Back in October the company held a ribbon cutting for the plant, attracting such dignitaries as the U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, The Hutchinson News reports.

Since then the plant has been fine-tuning the process. Because it’s a new concept, Robb said they are still working out any problems and they are not yet in full

production.

However, Robb says once at full capacity there will be 79 full-time employees and they will process 1,000 tons per day of biomass, most of which will be harvested within a 50mile radius each year.

They estimate they could use 350,000 biomass bales annually, producing up to 25 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol and 21 megawatts of electricity.

‘An exciting time’ Degollado says there was a real hustle and bustle when the Abengoa plant was being built.

Her restaurant was filled with people from Spain and the eastern U.S. She had tables of eight or nine twice a day for lunch and dinner.

“It was crazier at the time,” Degollado said.

“You knew they were in town.”

The boom lasted several years. Now that the Abengoa plant is completed and almost in operation, the building boom that Degollado experienced has slowed.

But she sees a bustling community.

“Hugoton had good schools for our children, and it’s a nice place to raise our kids,” she said. “The (community) comes together whenever someone is in need.

They are really supportive.”

Now community leaders are focused on making sure there’s enough housing for middle-income families in the community.

“It’s an exciting time for our community,” Gillespie said. “With new construction and businesses we are looking forward to the new things it stimulates.

Important vote The city commissioners elected this week will make some key decisions about the direction of Lawrence’s future.

T

he many issues now facing Lawrence make Tuesday’s City Commission election more important than most.

Certain changes also are being proposed or thrust upon the city, and the way our elected officials deal with those changes will play a big role in the city’s long-term progress and success.

For that reason, it’s imperative that local voters make the effort to educate themselves on the commission candidates and issues and make their voices heard at the polls this week.

One of the most important decisions the new commission will face is the selection of a city manager to replace David Corliss, who will leave that post on June 1 to take a new job in Colorado. His departure is both a loss and an opportunity.

Lawrence will lose an experienced city manager, but commissioners will have an opportunity to find a replacement who brings additional strengths to the job.

A continuing concern of many in Lawrence is the city’s reputation for being unfriendly to business. It appears that concern sometimes is more a matter of style than substance, but it’s important for the city’s staff to be helpful and clear while also making sure projects meet city standards and expectations. Last week’s approval by the Shawnee County Commission of a 10-year property tax exemption worth $12.5 million for the Mars Chocolate plant in south Topeka is a reminder that competition for business remains keen and Lawrence will need to be a savvy player.

The next commission will be in charge of resetting the direction for a new police headquarters. Commissioners will decide whether to pursue the current plan at a new location or reconsider the plans for a $26 million facility and how to finance whatever project they choose.

There seems to be a renewed interest in altering the structure of city government, and a new commission term, along with the city manager’s departure, may lead to more discussion of the possibility of electing our mayor, expanding the commission and perhaps electing some commissioners from districts.

Lawrence continues to be focused on many amenities related to the arts or recreation, but it also faces many basic needs related to streets, utilities and public transportation. Building the city’s tax base will be essential to meeting these needs — and some wants — without putting an undue burden on local taxpayers.

The city manager’s departure, the opportunities presented by the opening of Lawrence VenturePark and the completed South Lawrence Trafficway and a number of other factors seem to place Lawrence at something of a crossroads right now. The election of three city commissioners on Tuesday will go a long way toward determining what kind of a future Lawrence will have. It’s a big responsibility that local voters should take seriously.

Don’t leave the decisions to someone else; make your opinion heard.

Nation survives despite contradictions On the day after the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, Abraham Lincoln appeared at a second-floor window of the White House.

He was acceding to the wishes of citizens who had gathered to serenade their president in this moment of victory. They called for a speech but Lincoln demurred. Instead he asked the band to play “Dixie.”

The song — a homesick Southerner’s lament — had been the de facto anthem of the Confederacy during 48 bloody months of civil war, but Lincoln declared now that the South held no monopoly on it. “I have always thought ‘Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard,” he said. It was probably his way of encouraging a nation that had ripped itself apart along sectional lines to begin knitting itself together again.

Lincoln received an answer of sorts two days later as beaten rebels surrendered their weapons to the Union Army. Union General Joshua Chamberlain remarked to Southern counterpart Henry Wise that perhaps now “brave men may become good friends.”

Wise’s reply was bitter as smoke. “You’re mistaken, sir,” he said. “You may forgive us, but we won’t be for-

There is nothing predestined about America’s ultimate ability to overcome its contradictions. This was true in 1865 and it’s true now.” given. There is a rancor in our hearts which you little dream of. We hate you, sir.”

Two days after that, April 14, Lincoln received a more direct response. John Wilkes Booth, famed actor and Southern sympathizer, shot him in the head.

Thus ended arguably the most consequential week in American history. This week, the events of that week move fully 150 years into the past. They are further away than they have ever been. And yet, they feel quite close. If the “hate” Henry Wise spoke of has

dissipated in the 15 decades gone by, what has not faded is Dixie’s sense of itself as a place apart and a people done wrong. Small wonder.

Twice now — at gunpoint in the 1860s, by force of law a century later — the rest of the country has imposed change on the South, made it do what it did not want to do, i.e., extend basic human rights to those it had systematically brutalized and oppressed. No other part of the country has ever experienced that, has ever seen itself so harshly chastised by the rest.

Both times, the act was moral and necessary. But who can deny, or be surprised, that in forcing the South to do the right thing, the rest of the country fostered an abiding resentment, an enduring “apartness,” made the South a region defined by resistance.

Name the issue — immigration, race, abortion, education, criminal justice — and law and custom in Dixie have long stood stubbornly apart from the rest of the country.

But the headline 150 years later is that that apartness no longer confines itself to the boundaries of the Confederacy.

In 2015, for example, we see the old pattern repeating in the fight over marriage

equality — most of the country having decided as a moral matter that this has to happen, yet a few people resisting as the change is imposed over their wishes. But if resistance is fierce in Arkansas, it also is fierce in Indiana. The sense of apartness is less geographically constrained. Who knows if that’s progress?

There is nothing predestined about America’s ultimate ability to overcome its contradictions. This was true in 1865 and it’s true now. It will always be true of a people bound, not by common ancestry but only common cause — a presumed fealty to self-evident truths.

America shattered in 1861.

Lincoln forced the bloody pieces back together at the cost of over 600,000 lives, one of them his own. It never did knit itself back together in the way he had hoped — in the way he might have helped it to, had he survived.

Instead, it became this once broken thing where the seams of repair still show.

And the question of that consequential week is the question of every day since then. Can you make a country out of that?

So far, so good.

Two sides to every argument King v. Burwell, a case recently heard by the Supreme Court, has been hailed by conservatives as a historic opportunity to uphold the Constitution and torpedo the Affordable Care Act. Liberals have denounced the case as a virtual death warrant for some who would lose their health insurance subsidies if the plaintiffs prevail. Isn’t it curious how a single subject can inspire such radically different views?

The argument of the plaintiffs is that the language of the health care act provides subsidies only for those who buy insurance from exchanges “established by the State.”

Thirty-four states refused to establish such exchanges, yet the federal government has still provided subsidies.

Thus, claim the plaintiffs, the government is violating the terms of its own law.

One commentator called the lawsuit “cynical,” “meanspirited” and “frivolous.”

Another argued that the case is “merely the byproduct of a poorly written law” and that it’s “a legitimate challenge to the law’s language.” The first commentator sees the lawsuit as an attempt to kill the law over a mere “semantic infelicity.”

But Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy himself says that the case raises “serious constitutional problems affecting the relationship between the states and the federal government.” If there’s so much disagreement among intelligent, well-informed authorities, what are we ignorant peasants supposed to think?

ologies. If Democrats are behind something, Republicans automatically reject it and vice versa. Is there never any merit to the ideas of the other side? As for the Supreme Court, is there no “justice” that transcends the court’s rigid political divisions, no law that serves us all?

One party says that raising the minimum wage helps low-income workers. The other says that it throws them out of work. One side argues that taxing the rich and redistributing the proceeds reduces inequality. The other side claims that policy hinders economic growth, the real engine of economic betterment.

Is either position absolutely true or false? No one listens to the arguments of opponents for fear of having his convictions challenged. Both sides pick their facts from scraps of hearsay and a cornucopia of dubious “facts.” Few people actually know what’s in the Affordable Care Act. And yet everyone rants for or against it with fanatical zeal.

Consider an alliance that’s been formed between liberal environmentalists and free market conservatives in response to an attempt by utilities to thwart competition from solar energy. One side operates out of opposition to crony capitalism, the other out of concern for the environment. But miraculously these strange bedfellows agree. How many other things might we agree on if we took the time to think and to listen to the other side?

the case is such a trivial matter, why is the Supreme Court hearing it?

In a similar vein, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s appearance before Congress was castigated by some as a gross violation of protocol and a blow to relations between the U.S. and Israel. Others called it a masterstroke that exposed the delusional strategy of President Obama with regard to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Charles Krauthammer called the speech “powerful” and compared it to the best of Winston Churchill. Trudy Rubin accused Netanyahu of turning a serious issue into a “partisan slugfest” and a “political circus.” Where does the truth lie?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 5, 1915: years “The Lawrence ago fire department IN 1915 was on its regular fire drill today and several test runs were made against time to see how soon they could make the various far points in the city. A test run was made to Holloway’s grocery from a start at the fire station. The men were all up stairs in the fire department and time was called and they made it to the cars and started the engines making it to Holloway’s grocery in two minutes and 46 seconds. The pavement had been sprinkled as far as the court house and it was impossible for them to make good time until they had passed the court house. A second run was made to the Fowler shops at the University. The chemical car made the run in 3 and 1-4 minutes and the heavy truck made the run in 3 and 3-4 minutes. The smaller car had very little weight to carry while the truck carries all of the firemen as well as the equipment.”

Celebrating Easter What adults say are among their top Easter Sunday plans:

SAN FRANCISCO California’s punishing drought — which led to the first mandatory statewide water restrictions in state history last week — will bring more pain to some businesses and prosperity to others if it doesn’t let up soon.

Now in its fourth year, the drought has already left a swath of losers — from farmers and ski areas to golf courses and wildlife — but also a few winners, as businesses and innovators find ways to adapt to what might be the future climate of California.

“We’re on a real collision course with a very dark reality,” says Dave Puglia, senior vice president of the Western Growers Association in Irvine, Calif., a grower and packer trade group.

Traffic cameras create political furor

The mix of crops that’s traditionally grown is changing. Farmers are plowing up fields where they used to grow vegetables like broccoli, carrots and tomatoes to put in nut and fruit trees, which demand less water.

“Cotton has gone from 1.5 million acres to almost nothing.

We’re cutting way back on rice.

The number of dairy cows is probably going to fall by 100,000

or so,” said Dan Sumner, a professor of agricultural economics at the University of California-Davis.

The toll on the state’s agriculture industry will get heavier and U.S. consumers outside California may feel it, too, when they notice some supermarket favorites seem less plentiful. About half of the fresh produce consumed in the U.S. and one-third of the nation’s organic produce is grown in the state’s fertile Central Valley.

Retail price spikes are unlikely because of the drought, however.

Only a small portion of what shoppers pay is based on what farmers get for their crops — shipping, handling, packaging and marketing expenses are collectively bigger. Plus, food prices are often set on a global scale of supply and demand, so in a vast world marketplace, California’s drought may not be a big factor, Sumner says.

Already, 17,000 jobs have been lost in the Central Valley, says Steve Lyle of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

California employed 348,900 people in agriculture in 2013.

About 1 million acres are now idle due to the drought, according to the University of California-Davis.

CHICAGO In the most contentious mayoral race Chicago has seen in decades, there has been plenty of debate about the city’s crushing pension debt, declining credit rating and incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s decision to shutter 50 schools with low enrollment.

But another issue that is gnawing at Chicagoans keeps popping up: anger over red-light cameras.

The angst in the nation’s thirdlargest city, where a red-light camera violation will set you back $100, is hardly an anomaly. From South Florida to Southern California, the use of red-light cameras by law enforcement agencies has emerged as one of the most contentious issues in local and state politics.

In Chicago, which has the most expansive use of red-light cameras in the country, the public outrage over red lights has been louder than most.

“It’s been exposed for what it really is ... a way for the city of Chicago to create a slush fund.”

Mark Wallace, a South Side resident who has been hit over $1,000 in tickets

A recent Chicago Tribune/ARP Research poll found that nearly three out of four Chicagoans want Emanuel to eliminate or reduce the use of the cameras, which are used for the detection, photographing and fining of leadfooted drivers who blow red lights.

Emanuel’s opponent in Tuesday’s runoff election, Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, has repeatedly hit the mayor for what he calls the “redlight ripoff” and made the issue a central part of his effort to win the mayoral race. If elected, Garcia has vowed to eliminate their use altogether.

The red-light camera system here has also been dogged by criticism from motorists and activists who say Chicago’s threesecond yellow lights (the minimum time under federal law) are too short, leaving drivers with the choice of running through a light v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Militants vow further ‘bloodbath’ in Kenya; five arrested Tonny Onyulo and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

GARISSA , KENYA

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, speaking only hours after militants threatened another “bloodbath,” warned Saturday of harsh measures against anyone who assists terrorists or helps spread radicalism, particularly Islamic religious schools and rogue imams in mosques.

The Somalia-based militant group al-Shabab, which has claimed responsibility for the

killings at Garissa University College on Thursday, warned on Saturday that more violence was in store for other Kenyan cities.

Kenyatta said it was “time to be honest with ourselves,” about the source of radicalism that breeds terrorism. He ignored claims by al-Shabab that their attacks were in response to Kenya sending troops into Somalia beginning in 2011 to fight militants.

His remarks came on the heels of an announcement by the Interior Ministry that five people had been arrested in connection with the Garissa siege. Interior Minis-

He said the three are associates of Mohamed Mohamud, also known as Dulyadin Gamadhere, a former teacher at a Kenyan Madrassa Islamic school who authorities say coordinated the attack on Garissa University College.

Kenyan authorities have put a $220,000 bounty for information leading to Gamadhere’s arrest, the Associated Press reported.

“The major part of one of America’s most productive farming regions could run out of all water and be unable to farm in the next number of years,” says Puglia, the Western Growers Association executive. “That’s what the future looks like, which is why people are so scared.”

Researchers are still calculating this year’s potential impact.

The economic hit to the state in 2015 could be $3 billion, compared with $2 billion last year, says Richard Howitt, an agriculture and resource economics expert at the University of California-Davis.

He estimates that 20,000 more jobs could be lost, including in agriculture and food production.

Wildlife will be squeezed too — not to mention the lucrative tourist dollars it pulls from sportsmen, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Snowmelt runoff plays an important role for fish and other aquatic species since it’s the primary source of summertime flow for many of the West’s rivers and streams, according to Leon Szeptycki, executive director of Stanford University’s Water in the West program.

That will affect both endangered species such as the Delta smelt and recreational fish such as salmon and steelhead.

California has a giant reservoir to its west that could supply the parched state. It is called the Pacific Ocean.

To tap this salty resource, desalination plants and related technology are being introduced or revived in the state.

Part of Gov. Jerry Brown’s executive order last week to manage water included streamlining the permitting process for water infrastructure projects such as desalination facilities.

Businesses ready to help consumers and businesses change their behavior — and save them money through lower water bills — should do well in California’s browner landscape.

Santa Barbara has a mothballed desalinization plant from the 1990s that was built after California’s previous severe drought from 1986 to 1991. The City Council is considering whether to bring it back into operation.

Towns in Monterey County, including Carmel, are also exploring desalination plants.

The problem with desalination is that it’s energy-intensive and expensive.

The holy grail of desalination is to draw on renewable power to remove salt from ocean water.

That’s where all natural fresh water comes from — solar energy evaporates the water, which rises into the atmosphere, leaving the salt in the ocean and then falling

that doesn’t look like a dust bowl needs to redesign and replant.

Lawns are out, rocks and watersipping ground covers like sage, yarrow and iceplant are in.

She specializes in xeriscape garden design. Xeros means “dry” in Greek and xeriscaped gardens are designed to require very little

So far, no one’s found an efficient way to mimic Mother Nature, but engineers are trying. A competition that gets underway Monday in Alamogordo, N.M., at the edge of the White Sands desert, is one attempt to find that particular grail.

Five teams of engineers will deploy machines they’ve built to run on renewable energy to provide clean water as part of USAID Global Development Lab’s Securing Water for Food initiative.

Knoppel installs rainwater collection systems as well as crafting gray-water systems that reuse bath, shower and washing machine water to irrigate gardens.

“Three years ago, I got maybe one call a week from people who wanted to transform their gardens. Now I’m getting two or three calls a day,” says Knoppel.

Nurseries are stocking more hardy dry-weather plants native

to California and the Mediterranean region.

Succulents like agave, aloe and hen and chicks are popular, as are perennial grasses like sedge and blue oat. Manzanita and ceanothus, sometimes called California lilac, are both increasingly must-have plants for modern yards because, once established, they need little water.

Appliance sales haven’t changed drastically so far because water-efficient clothes and dishwashers have been widely used for “years now,” reports Bob Harrison with Aztec Appliance in San Diego.

Even so, he says, he hears more people mention water efficiency in his showroom.

“In laundry equipment in particular, that’s where we hear it,” says Harrison, who’s been selling appliances for 30 years. “San Diego literally is a desert that’s parked next to the ocean. We’ve got to think about it.”

EYES ON THE FUTURE

This being California, the drought could spur innovation.

Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles has effectively remade the roughs on its golf course into desert by converting them into dry patches, which use less water.

California has 1,140 golf courses, according to GolfLink.com.

and picking up a hefty fine or braking suddenly and risking the chance of being rear-ended.

A bribery scandal involving a top city transportation official and executives from the city’s former red-light camera vendor — which was selected by Emanuel’s predecessor, Richard M. Daley — hasn’t helped engender trust.

“It’s been exposed for what it really is,” said Mark Wallace, a resident of Chicago’s South Side who has been hit with more than $1,000 in red-light camera tickets and has led protests in the city over the use of cameras. “It’s nothing more than a way for the city of Chicago to create a slush fund that brings in a lot of revenue.”

Proponents say the cameras change drivers’ behavior, make roadways safer and allow law enforcement to better use their officers.

Opponents, however, point to studies that show that the cameras don’t reduce accidents. They also argue the cameras tread on treacherous constitutional ground, because municipalities are effectively contracting out police work to private companies.

At least nine states (Arkansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia) have laws on the books that prohibit or significantly reduce the ability of law enforcement agencies to use red-light cameras.

Currently, 459 communities throughout the USA use red-light

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, facing a runoff vote Tuesday to stay in office, has had to answer to Chicagoans over traffic cameras. cameras, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

That number is down from the 2012 peak use of red-light cameras, when 540 communities were employing them.

Joseph Hummer, an engineering professor at Wayne State University in Detroit who has studied the effectiveness of red-light cameras, said that the cameras have long been a hot-button issue for many communities.

But the public’s awareness about municipalities aggressively pursuing revenues may be growing in the aftermath of the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., Hummer said.

The months of protests in Ferguson were triggered by the shooting death last August of an unarmed black teenager by a

white police officer. But a Justice Department report released in March found that racial tensions had been festering long before Brown’s death, in large part because Ferguson police had aggressively enforced laws with an eye on raising revenue through tickets and fines instead of looking out for the safety of residents.

“People are much more aware after Ferguson of law enforcement tactics that look like they are intended for just raising revenue, and they’ve had enough,” Hummer said.

In California, Assemblyman Matthew Harper, a Republican from Orange County, recently introduced legislation that will prohibit the installation of new red-light traffic cameras in the

state and will require safety studies of existing cameras.

In Ohio, the cities of Akron, Columbus, Dayton, Springfield and Toledo are suing the state after it passed a law that requires a police officer to be present at camera locations to witness violations for citations to be issued.

The cities say the law, which was set to go into effect last week, defeats the purpose of the cameras, and the law amounts to an unconstitutional ban. A Lucas County judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing Toledo to continue to issue citations from traffic cameras while the lawsuits are sorted out.

Last month in Florida, two Broward County traffic judges tossed out 24,000 red-light camera ticket cases, voiding more than $6 million in fines by ruling the program violated state law.

The judges concluded that communities were delegating police authority to its private camera provider and violating state law which says only law enforcement can issue violations.

There are also battles over redlight cameras — legal and legislative — boiling in Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, New York and Tennessee.

In Chicago, Emanuel has touted the city’s red-light camera program for reducing dangerous right-angle, or “T-bone,” crashes.

But a Chicago Tribune report last year found that while cameras in Chicago reduced T-bone crashes that caused injuries by 15%, they increased rear-end crashes that caused injuries by 22%.

The mayor announced weeks

ago he would remove cameras at 25 of the 174 intersections and reduce the penalty for first time-offenders. That’s in addition to cameras that were brought down at 16 intersections earlier in Emanuel’s term.

FRANKEN GOADS LETTERMAN ON JOINING SENATE RACE If Al Franken can go from “Saturday Night Live” to the U.S. Senate, why can’t David Letterman make a similar leap?

Franken, now a Democratic senator representing Minnesota, joked with his friend that he could get back at Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for the state’s “religious freedom” law by going home and running for the Senate. “There’s an open seat there,” Franken said, referring to the retirement of GOP Sen. Dan Coats. “Look, when people come to me — young people — they say, how do I become a United States senator? ... Do about 35 or 40 years of comedy and then run for the Senate.

Rubio later confirmed the event will be at Miami’s Freedom Tower, long a first stop for exiles fleeing the Castro regime in Cuba.

Sen. Ted Cruz is third in a new poll.

CRUZ MOVES UP IN POLLING Sen. Ted Cruz’s strategy to become the first officially declared presidential candidate appears to be paying off.

Several polls released since his March 23 announcement show the Texas senator with upward movement. In a CBS News survey, 37% of Republicans now say they would consider voting for Cruz to be their party’s standard-bearer. An ABC News/Washington Post survey has Cruz with 12% support from Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, trailing only Jeb Bush (21%) and Scott Walker (13%). Cruz’s status as the only official candidate in the race ends Tuesday when Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is set to announce his candidacy.

Menendez pleaded not guilty.

The Associated Press first reported the decision by Klobuchar, who is not accused of wrongdoing. Politico reports Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., will donate $10,000 to charity — equal to campaign funds he received in 2010 from a Menendez committee.

O’Malley pitching populist melody

Former senator Evan Bayh probably won’t attempt a comeback now that Republican Sen. Dan Coats is retiring, but until he offers a Sherman-esque refusal to run, his actions suggest it might — just might — remain a possibility. Bayh is sitting on $10 million in his campaign account, and he weighed in on Indiana’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act. “Every day this is left to fester out there, our state is held up to further damage and attack, so clearly something needs to be done,” Bayh told The Huffington Post. Which is exactly what a Democratic candidate for the Senate might say.

Van Hollen has amassed a $2.5 million war chest to kick off what could be a bruising primary. Rep.

THE GOP BALLOT

Fact is, the top Democrat that emerges from California’s open primary — state Attorney General Kamala Harris is the early front-runner — will be the prohibitive favorite to win the Senate seat next year. But that doesn’t mean Republicans aren’t going to put up a fight. At least six Republicans have jumped into the race, including two former state GOP party chairmen, Tom Del Beccaro and Duf Sundheim, and Assemblyman Rocky Chavez.

Any Republican in California will face an uphill battle running statewide, but the debate might shine a light on what West Coast conservatism looks like in 2016.

While the prospect of a Warren candidacy has stirred excitement among many liberal activists, O’Malley’s much more likely bid has so far failed to register in opinion polls.

If McCain opts to retire, he would avoid a potentially nasty GOP primary and trigger an open-seat general election race, and it would continue a steady stream of exits among the Senate’s longest-serving, and best-known, legislators. In recent elections, the Senate has averaged about six retirements. So far in 2016, just four senators have announced they will not run again.

When did he start channeling Warren? “It’s not a matter of getting religion,” he told USA TODAY in an interview Tuesday. “It’s a matter of getting how badly this behavior damaged people throughout our country.”

New Hampshire Democrats are longtime Clinton fans, but O’Malley gets a warm welcome because voters here like a contested presidential primary.

In southwest Tajikistan, horsemen compete to grab a headless sheep and carry it through a goal marked by mounds of earth in the traditional game of buzkashi.

Tajikistan faces tougher times Impoverished nation’s workers depend on Russia “I want to stay Calum MacLeod USA TODAY ISTIKLOL ,

TAJIKISTAN Hundreds of men on horseback wearing Soviet tank helmets fought in the traditional sport of buzkashi at last month’s festival of Navruz for a chance to win a cow, carpet, camel or a car.

Those are major prizes in this Central Asian republic, which was once part of the Soviet Union and is now one of the world’s poorest countries.

The celebration to welcome the Persian new year offered only temporary relief from a looming economic crisis that exposes the vulnerability of this nation of 8 million people.

As Navruz heralds springtime, Nurik Babaev, 27, seeks another construction job in distant Russia, where up to 1 million Tajik workers — roughly half of all working-age males — provide cheap, seasonal labor.

Russia’s recession and the crash of its currency have shrunk the value of salaries, while work permits have become tougher to get, he said, enjoying

the buzkashi in Istiklol, 40 miles from the Afghan border.

“I want to stay in Tajikistan, but there are no jobs here,” said Babaev, who has spent several months each year laboring in Moscow for the past decade. “I get so tired working there.”

The money Tajik migrants send home amounts to half of the economy and makes Tajikistan the world’s most remittance-dependent country, according to the World Bank.

Russia’s economic woes, combined with weak export prices for aluminum and cotton, will slow Tajik GDP growth to 4% this year, from 6.7% in 2014, the Asian Development Bank forecast in March.

Worries about money and family separation are commonplace. In the capital, Dushanbe, student Ahliddin Rahmonov, 18, misses his father, who works in Moscow so Rahmonov and his three brothers can stay in school.

“At Navruz, it’s important to be together. But the ruble fall has made life tougher, and the ticket home is too expensive,” Rahmonov said.

in Tajikistan, but there are no jobs here.”

Nurik Babaev

A man wears a tank helmet to protect his head in buzkashi.

He studies hydroelectric engineering and hopes for a career at home, because hydropower ranks among the few potential exports of mountainous, landlocked Tajikistan. President

Emomali Rahmon, 62, promises the country will gain prosperity as an energy hub, given just 7% of the land is suitable for growing crops.

Portraits of the authoritarian ruler, who has led the nation for 23 years, stand everywhere. “We like him. He cares so much about the people,” Rahmonov said as he watched Navruz dances in a public park.

Other residents question the president’s policies. “It’s bread and circuses, like the old (Roman) emperors,” Abdumalik Kadirov, a media expert, said about the state-funded celebrations.

Last month, the president’s office pledged to construct the region’s biggest theater, a project that follows building the world’s tallest flagpole and largest teahouse.

“The government should take steps to compensate the (economic) losers. Instead the state announces a plan to build a

theater,” Kadirov said, adding that graft, which is rampant in Tajikistan, could plague the new project.

In Takob village, north of the capital and beside the mountain snow line, farmer Baraka Niyozov, 48, hoped for peace and smoother roads in 2015. He last worked in Moscow two years ago, earning $2,000 in six months, but he warned fellow Tajiks that “many people get cheated there and not paid.”

These days, the whole country feels cheated, said Tajik artist Safarov Rakhim, 63, who grew up in a Soviet orphanage. “Other nations take advantage of Tajikistan. We are a weak nation,” Rakhim said.

His latest painting has references to the unequal revenue deal for a Russian hydroelectric project being built in Tajikistan.

The artist’s wife cares for their son’s children in Moscow, and their daughter raises a family in Turkey.

“My dream is that my children and grandchildren live in their motherland, and it is a prosperous country. I wish that they were proud of their country,” Rakhim said from his Dushanbe studio. “It will happen but will take a long time.”

Analysis: Iran nuclear deal facing very tough road ahead Oren Dorell @OrenDorell USA TODAY

The framework nuclear agreement announced Thursday between world powers and Iran sets the stage for Congress and foreign nations to try to change — or kill — a final deal.

The United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany reached an understanding with Iran on limits to Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting crippling economic sanctions.

Negotiators now have until June 30 to fill in the critical details to assure Iran it will get relief from the sanctions as soon as possible, and guarantee the world powers that Iran won’t develop a nuclear weapon. Lying in wait are Congress, Iran’s enemies in the Middle East, and difficult issues that may reshape, delay or doom a final accord.

CONGRESS: NOT SO FAST

President Obama wants a final agreement that is short of a formal treaty to skirt approval by a

skeptical Congress, which might make changes unacceptable to Iran. Not so fast, lawmakers say.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will take up legislation that requires congressional approval of a nuclear deal, committee Chairman Bob Corker, RTenn., said.

“If a final agreement is reached, the American people, through their elected representatives, must have the opportunity to weigh in to ensure the deal truly can eliminate the threat of Iran’s nuclear program and hold the regime accountable,” Corker said.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who has co-sponsored the bill and had expressed skepticism as the deal was emerging, said he’ll “be giving the framework a very careful look.”

Schumer’s emergence as the next Senate Democratic leader could give critics — now mostly Republicans — more clout, said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who has testified before Congress on Iran sanctions.

Schumer is being lobbied

heavily by both his pro-Israel constituents and the White House, Dubowitz said. “He’ll be the bellwether for which way wavering Democrats go on this.”

A second Senate bill would increase sanctions on Iran after June 30 if there is no comprehensive agreement by then. Obama has said he would veto both bills because they would derail the talks.

ISRAEL: PUT SCREWS TO IRAN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a vehement opponent of any deal that leaves Iran’s nuclear program intact, has already launched a fresh round of sharp attacks. He’s trying to rally Congress, other world powers and Iran’s rivals in the Middle East — such as Saudi Arabia — to demand a stronger deal that ensures Iran won’t develop a nuclear bomb in secret.

Israel could disrupt the negotiations by assassinating Iran’s nuclear scientists and sabotaging or attacking its nuclear facilities, which Iran has accused Israel of doing in the past. That could scuttle a final deal, said George Perkovich, an expert on nuclear

DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

The framework agreement left key details to be ironed out, including the pace of sanctions relief, when and to what extent Iran will explain evidence of a past nuclear weapons program — which it denies ever having — and when it will take the steps spelled out in the deal.

The Obama administration and Iran showed they interpret the deal differently just within a few hours of its announcement.

Secretary of State John Kerry said that “in return for Iran’s future cooperation,” relief from U.S. and international sanctions will be provided “in phases.” Iran could begin qualifying for such relief as soon as four months to a year after any agreement begins, Kerry said.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, however, tweeted a response that denied sanctions relief would be gradual. “Iran/5+1 Statement: ‘US will cease the application of ALL nuclear-related secondary economic and financial sanctions.’ Is this gradual?”

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE GREECE IS HANGING ON In a nutshell: Greece won’t default on payments to the International Monetary Fund this week even though government coffers are nearly empty, according to a report by Bloomberg News on Saturday.

The star: Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis is set to meet IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde in Washington today to discuss the Greek government’s pending reform package. The goal is to avoid the nation defaulting on its debt and exiting the euro.

The money: The financially beleaguered nation has an IMF payment of about $494 million due Thursday. And the government is in talks with European Union officials, who are withholding aid payments until a deal is reached on economic overhauls, Bloomberg reports.

IN THE HOT SEAT TALK ABOUT A PAYDAY Discovery Communications’ David Zaslav was awarded $156.1 million in compensation last year, making him one of the highest-paid CEOs in corporate America. And it’s about five times the compensation he earned in 2013. What gives? The bulk of his pay package comes from stock and option awards that will vest over the course of a new six-year contract he signed early last year, according to the company’s proxy filing released late Friday.

Go figure. The company’s stock fell by 25% last year.

SAN FRANCISCO Marc Benioff is having his way with a plate of scrambled eggs and chicken-apple sausage at a cliffside diner overlooking the Pacific.

Casual in a sweatshirt and baseball cap, he’s easy to confuse for a tourist, unless you happen to know that the logo on both items — UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital — is the result of the $200 million the Salesforce.com founder gave to the facility that now bears his name.

“Just look at that,” Benioff, 50, tells USA TODAY, gesturing at the majestic view. “We live in a physical nirvana. I’m just saying, let’s also make it a business nirvana, a K-12 nirvana, a social justice nirvana. It’s a doable thing.”

Benioff’s big pronouncements and large philanthropic footprint are well known here in the techfocused Bay Area. But now that the rest of the country knows his name, many may wonder who he is and why he cares.

Last week, Benioff led a group of tech CEOs in opposing Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act on the grounds that it was both discriminatory toward gays and lesbians and harmful to business-recruiting efforts.

As Republican Gov. Mike Pence struggled to tweak the bill’s language — supporters sought legal protection for business owners if they denied services to the LGBT community based on religious beliefs — Benioff urged his customers to avoid the state and offered relocation checks for employees.

Other CEOs followed his impassioned lead.

Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote an op-ed essay for The Washington Post. PayPal co-founder Max Levchin rallied dozens of signatures for an open letter to legislators.

And Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman penned a blog post saying it would be “unconscionable” to do business in a state that etched discrimination into law.

“We’ve been out there attracting attention and operating on a scale we’re not used to, and I have to say it’s not a comfortable feeling,” he says in a soft voice that belies his towering 6’5’’ frame.

Benioff stops to tuck voluminous curls under his hat.

“I didn’t understand this was part of a larger matrix and it was all going to implode, and I also didn’t know we’d be so inspiring to other business leaders,” he says.

That’s because the tech leader is convinced something bigger is brewing, a business-led movement perhaps unprecedented in the country’s history.

SALESFORCE CEO: USA NEEDS ‘COMPASSIONATE CAPITALISM’

“We live in a physical nirvana. ... Let’s also make it a ... social justice nirvana. It’s a doable thing.”

Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com

L awrence J ournal -W orld - USA TODAY SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 2015

Think back to the social issues of the 1960s and it’s difficult to imagine a leading CEO taking a stand on civil rights or the Vietnam War. But, “in the future, before people do something like this (law in Indiana), they’re going to have to look for the business community’s support,” says Benioff, leaning forward.

He pushes his plate aside and bears down. “We CEOs, we’re all over the world,” he says. “We’re talking to the presidents of other countries often, negotiating our own issues with them directly often. So we need to be consulted as an integral part of the ecosystem, not like something on the side called business.”

Part of that is down to the force of Benioff’s personality.

When he tells you he mentors young tech entrepreneurs, what he really means is he isn’t afraid to act like their big brother.

“He’s a gentle giant, but he won’t adjust his message for an audience and he will beat you over the head with a point of view if you do not have one,” says Levchin, 39, now CEO of online financial services company Affirm.

Stoppelman credits Benioff with persuading him to have Yelp adopt a version of Salesforce’s 11-1 giving strategy, where 1% of the company’s equity, product and employee time is donated to the local community. (To date, Salesforce Foundation has donated $80 million in grants and 840,000 hours of time, and allowed 24,000 non-profits to run Salesforce’s cloud computing platform for free or at discounted rates.)

Benioff shrugs off such admiring compliments. “They’re just my friends, and when I am thinking about something, I call them,” he says.

Benioff goes on admiringly about Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, who is urging Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, to veto a law similar to Indiana’s, saying it “undermines the spirit of inclusion.”

“That’s unprecedented, frankly, that a business leader would go straight to the governor, but Walmart is like a nation-state without nuclear weapons,” he says, allowing himself a laugh. “I tell you one thing, if Doug calls the premier of China, he answers the phone. If (Hutchinson) calls the premier, he is not answering.”

Benioff was precocious, starting a company at 15 and becoming an Oracle vice president at 26 before in 1999 starting Salesforce, which is valued at $36 billion, a tenth of which is the founder’s estimated net worth.

CUTTING THE CORD

Sony makes play for streaming TV market New service available only to PS4 and PS3 owners in a few cities for now

Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

Sony has entered the cord-cutting game with its new streaming TV service, PlayStation Vue. For now, only PlayStation 4 and PS3 owners in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia can sign up for the service, which starts at about $50 a month.

But Sony does plan to expand into new cities later this year.

This past week, it let me testdrive the service from my home near Washington, D.C. On its face, PlayStation Vue answers some cord-cutting prayers that even Sling TV, which went live last month, does not. For starters, it has more channels — more than 50 in the entry-level package and more than 85 in the $69.95 monthly package.

And for those who can’t use an antenna — or don’t want to use one — to get local TV signals, PlayStation Vue has live broadcasts from local affiliates for CBS, Fox, NBC and Telemundo.

An obvious shortcoming: content from Disney including ABC,

SONY PLAYSTATION

ESPN and Disney channels.

Among the other channels on board: Comedy Central, CNBC, Discovery Channel, FX, Fox Business and Fox News Channel, USA Network, Food Network, Nickelodeon, TBS and USA. At the next-highest monthly price level ($59.99), Vue has regional sports networks. The $69.99-a-month package tosses in more than 25 additional channels, including Fox College Sports networks and the FXM movie channel and Palladia.

ment needed; you just download it as an app. For now, Sling TV is available nationwide on more devices including computers, Amazon Fire, Roku and Xbox One. Sony says PlayStation Vue will soon be available on iPad and other devices.

Vue’s functionality rivals that of Sling TV, too. A guide shows you everything available to watch.

Live TV can be paused, fast-forwarded and reversed.

You can tag a favorite show and its episodes will be stored in the cloud for four weeks. And you can record individual programs that can be found in My Shows.

Video quality is very good. The service might appeal to homes with multiple PlayStation owners because up to three people can watch different Vue content simultaneously on one account.

But there are some obvious shortcomings. The $50-$70 price range approaches that of some current pay-TV packages. And considering that Vue doesn’t have ESPN, many consumers might have to subscribe to Sling TV, too.

RETIREMENT 65%

RETIREES EMBRACE WAYS TO AGE IN PLACE

ey’re es say th of retire the best living in f their lives home o

Nanci Hellmich @nancihellmich USA TODAY

Although some people want to move to a warmer climate or exotic locale in retirement, for most folks their current home is where their heart is.

They want to age in place, continuing to live in their home or at least in the same area. And they’re not afraid to remodel and try new technologies to make that happen, new research shows. They’d even be willing to have a cleaning robot or heated driveway.

The vast majority of people age 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible, AARP data show. The group has expanded the definition of aging in place to include people either remaining in their home or staying in the same area in other housing options, says Rodney Harrell, director of Livable Communities in AARP’s Public Policy Institute.

It’s no wonder retirees want to stay put. About two-thirds (65%) of retirees say they’re living in the best home of their lives, according to a recent national survey of more than 3,600 respondents. Most respondents were over age 50; 1,668 were retired. It was sponsored by Merrill Lynch in partnership with Age Wave.

“There is something deeply What are some of the Q: most popular locations for retirement and why?

The classic answer is two A: states — Florida and Arizona — and that still holds true today.

A lot of people get happy with sunshine on their shoulders. Also, a lack of humidity shuts down allergies and allows easy breathing.

The vast majority of retirees we interview want to get away from dull gray skies, nearly perpetual rain, dampness, mold, humidity, icy roads and 8-foot walls of snow.

But relocation decisions are as unique as the individual making them. So, other retirees look to the Southeast, from Virginia circling on over to Louisiana. A lot of affordable living is in the Southeast as well as beaches, friendly people and a mean glass of sweet iced tea. Plus, retirees don’t mind a measly 2 inches of snow several times each winter, and sometimes can even snag a white Christmas.

Out West, Colorado is gaining popularity for its emphasis on fitness and the environment. If you love snow skiing, hiking, kayaking or knocking around in an allwheel-drive roadster, the West can sound out a convincing call.

Why relocate during Q:retirement?

All of their lives, folks nearing retirement lived where A: the job was. Finally, for the first

time in their lives, they get to choose a new city and craft a new lifestyle, and many have the means to do so. They get to turn their backs on brake-tapping traffic spread across six lanes. They get to say no to masses of humanity. They get to choose a city that is walkable, has a cool downtown, is near a big city and has a low crime rate. Those factors seem to be universal.

They can choose a masterplanned community that nurtures organic friendships and has all the amenities they want. They also can choose a city that has antiques shops, dog-friendly parks, ongoing education classes or a massive classic car show each year. In other words, they get to decide what city is their Camelot.

What about the elephantQ: in-the-room question: Should retirees move close to adult children grandchildren?

nourishing about our homes, and people become increasingly appreciative of that emotional connection as they get older,” says gerontologist Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave. “It’s a rich emotional nest.”

Many people want to stay in their home “because they are most comfortable with what is

most familiar,” says psychologist Mary Languirand, co-author of How to Age in Place.

In homes of the future there may be cleaning robots, thermostats that go up and down as you go in and out of rooms, and alerts to take your medication or go to your doctors’ appointments, Dychtwald says. “There may be homes that can be reshaped and remodeled to accommodate visitors or guests. Imagine walls moving and desks disappearing and trundle beds coming out when the grandkids come.”

He says 52% of people older than 75 live alone, and there will be more technologies that let adult children know if a parent slips or needs help. “Technology can help people keep an eye on mom or dad,” he says.

“The good news is that all of

these breakthroughs are on the drawing board or already available, but they’re waiting for the market to take more full advantage of them,” he says.

New technology is a huge boon for people who want to continue to live in their home, Languirand says. “The smarthome concepts are wonderful because there are so many func-

tions of the home that can be programmed and made automatic. Help is often one button push away, so you are never really out of touch.”

She says many age-in-place ideas can be useful to people of all ages, such as easy-to-operate window hardware; easy-to-read, programmable thermostats; lighting fixtures that make rooms brighter; low-maintenance exteriors and anti-scald devices on showers.

As people get older, they should continue to evaluate their situation, she says. They may need ramps to make their homes wheelchair-accessible, wider doorways, grab bars and shower seats in bathrooms to prevent falls, she says.

Harrell says technological advancements can help make up for the fact that most homes are not designed for aging.

“High-quality Internet access is an essential component of many of these technologies, and when we looked at older adults, we found that those with low incomes, those who lived in rural areas, and those who did not drive were less likely to have access than their counterparts,” he says. “If people don’t have adequate Internet access, they may miss out on the advantages that technology can provide.”

AARP has a home guide with dozens of suggestions to help you live as long as possible in your current house, Harrell says.

Those include making sure that area rugs have non-slip grips to prevent tripping and slipping; having an entrance door that’s easy to unlock and lock, open and close; and automatic night lights plugged into outlets near steps and staircases.

sonalities and circumstances. But one thing is sure: Adult children do not like being the only outlet for their parents’ social lives.

When retirees move to a location near adult children, they need to find friends, volunteer, stay active and connected outside of their family. Also, never forget that adult children often relocate themselves, leaving some retirees stuck in a city that they never really liked where their grandchildren used to live.

What advice about housQ: ing/relocation do you have for someone who is

thinking about retiring in the next few years?

Make meticulous charts and pro-and-con lists on your finalist cities for retirement relocation. Hire experts to look at how your finances and taxes will be affected in each. And read Where to Retire magazine. But allow emotion and serendipity to play a part, too.

Sometimes the “spur of the moment” isn’t totally a whim and taps into something that needs to be brought to the surface.

One couple we interviewed took an exit off the highway to use the restroom and stumbled upon Nevada City, Calif., which became their beloved destination.

DAVE EINSEL FOR USA TODAY

Make meticulous charts and pro-and-con lists on your finalist cities for retirement relocation, suggests Annette Fuller, editor of Where to Retire magazine.

Florida and Arizona are still two of the hottest spots for people who want to relocate in retirement, but other places, including Colorado, are becoming more popular, says Annette Fuller, the editor of Where to Retire magazine.

For those who choose to move, the choices vary greatly depending on the person, she says.

The magazine staff has interviewed thousands of retirees on this topic since the publication was founded in 1992, Fuller says. Issues usually include profiles of four attractive cities, one active-adult community and one roundup of eight locations, such as those known for walkability, college basketball or low overall taxes.

USA TODAY’s Nanci Hellmich talked to Fuller about relocating in retirement.

Two schools of thought here, A: and people in both probably have nagging doubts. Some retir-

ees relocate straightaway to their adult children’s cities, wanting to be “backdoor” grands, meaning their grandchild slips into their house without knocking, proudly showing a tooth that fell out, asking for a cookie or needing help with homework.

Nothing, perhaps, brings more exquisite pleasure than a 2-yearold grandchild falling asleep in

your lap. Another aspect of this scenario that gives retirees pleasure is seeing flashes of gratitude from their tapped-out adult children, who are oh-so-glad for the help.

The other category is grandparents who don’t feel the need for these daily intertwined lives and must fly or take a road trip to see their children. They get a concentrated joy overload during a few visits each year.

Some retirees have told us that

these in-and-out swoops bring out the best in everyone: All parties are on good behavior and more shared communication takes place, given everyone innately knows that the time together is limited. Then, truth be told, they like getting on that plane to head back to their own household where peace and quiet reign.

Neither way is right or wrong on its own, of course; this matter is best left up to individual per-

Can you talk about how Q: people are easing into retirement and relocation in

the process?

A trend that has been pronounced in the past five to 10 years is that many people are not just retiring at age 65 and slamming into full retirement overnight. Today, many leave their life-long career in their 50s and relocate to a lower-stress job in a city where they would like to be when they fully retire. Eventually, they might go to four days a week, then two days a week.

Others relocate to their chosen destination and do contract or freelance work from home, or take a part-time job in town. Today, it seems, with online workplace systems such as HipChat and easy document-sharing and transfer, people can live anywhere and work anywhere — commute not required.

MEN’S FINAL FOUR

Nobody’s perfect

Self: Game needs work

PLAYERS ON WISCONSIN’S BENCH CELEBRATE as Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein walks off after the Badgers’ 71-64 Final Four victory on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Badgers hand UK first setback Indianapolis (ap) — Nobody ever said they were perfect. Now, the Kentucky Wildcats aren’t undefeated, either.

The hard-nosed Wisconsin Badgers did what nobody else could this season — knocking off the Wildcats 71-64 on Sat-

urday night behind 20 points and 11 rebounds from Frank Kaminsky and a clutch comeback down the stretch.

Now, instead of Kentucky going for history, it’s Wisconsin heading to the final to play Duke, an 81-61 winner

over Michigan State in the earlier — and much less entertaining — semifinal.

“It gives us another 40 minutes, I know that,” said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, who leads the Badgers to their first final since 1941.

The Badgers, who lost 8070 to Duke in a December meeting in Madison, opened as one-point favorites over the Blue Devils. Kentucky can watch it from the couch.

Please see WISCONSIN, page 3C

Duke reaches another title game Indianapolis (ap) — Two star freshmen, a solid senior and some of the trademark defense Duke has long been known for have the Blue Devils back in the national championship game.

And in Indianapolis, no less.

Justise Winslow scored 19 points, fellow freshman Jahlil Okafor added 18, and senior Quinn Cook had 17 to lead top-seeded Duke to an 81-61 victory over Michigan State on Saturday and into yet another title game in the city known for a 500-mile auto race.

The Blue Devils won it all

in Indianapolis in 1991, their first under Mike Krzyzewski.

The winningest men’s Div. I coach, who has a 9-3 record in national semifinal games, led them to their fourth and most recent title in 2010, also in Indianapolis.

“The city’s great, and even if we didn’t win tonight the city would still be great and the venue would be great,” Krzyzewski said. “This team, though, deserved to be in it.

So it makes it even better.

They’ve been so good in this tournament and the stage has not been too big for them.”

The demise of college basketball appears to have been somewhat exaggerated.

As critics of the game point out, scoring was down in 2014-15 and amount of possessions per game also lagged a bit, but overall TV viewership — fans’ interest in watching the sport that has been called a “joke”

by UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma — is up.

It was recently reported by “TV By the Numbers” that ESPN’s 36th season of college hoops was its second-most-viewed in history — just a few thousand viewers below the previous high set in 2013-14.

Also, the NCAA has indicated the 2015 NCAA Tournament has had its highest average viewership in more than 20 years.

Still, most agree imperfections do exist.

“I think our game is not quite as good as what it has been,” Kansas University coach Bill Self said recently.

As the Indianapolis Star pointed out in a story at http://ljw.bz/1awzvMA, scoring this season was down 3 1/2 points per game.

Also, the paper reports the average college men’s game included 1.7 fewer possessions than a year ago.

“The game is more physical than what it has been.

Me personally, I’d like to see the clock lowered (from 35 seconds to 30), see some things where there are more possessions,” Self said.

“The thing that is a little discouraging is not length of game, but pace of play. Possessions per game is at an all-time low. We need to do something to spice it up. It’s for people smarter than me to figure it out.

“It’s still a great game.

We’ve got to be able to do something to help it. Look across America with other sports ... baseball has done radical things to help the game. Football has done things to help the game.

We’ve made attempts, but have not had the success we thought. Hopefully we can come up with something to make the game better,” Self added.

Aside from shortening the shot clock five seconds, Self suggests, “Eight seconds (instead of 10) to get it across (halfcourt). If Please see SELF, page 3C

Ludueña has unfinished business, but KU wins

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR MARIA BELEN LUDUEÑA RETURNS A SHOT during KU’s 4-0 Senior Day victory over Kansas State on Saturday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

When Kansas University women’s tennis coach Todd Chapman describes the passion senior Maria Belen Ludueña has for competition and for her school, he uses her actions while watching a KU men’s basketball game as a reference point.

Chapman has attended games at Allen Fieldhouse with Ludueña and claims “she could hurt somebody within a four- or five-foot radius” with her fervent responses to the action on the floor.

So one can imagine how disappointed she felt Saturday afternoon at Jayhawk Tennis Center when she

didn’t get to complete her doubles or singles matches against rival Kansas State, because KU already had clinched overall team victories in both portions of the dual on the way to a 4-0 sweep.

While Ludueña’s afternoon concluded with her coach and teammates honoring KU’s lone senior on Court No. 1 with a framed uniform, flowers, kind words and hugs, there was a part of her that wanted even more on her special day. She would’ve loved to have contributed a win. Or at least had the chance to finish competing.

Ludueña and doubles partner Madison Harrison trailed 5-3 when KU sealed

its doubles victory. But she had hit her groove in the second set of singles competition after dropping the first set, 6-3, to K-State’s Carolina Costamagna. She led the second set, 3-2, when KU wrapped up the victory.

“I don’t know what would’ve happened if I was still playing,” the smiling senior said.

That’s the competitor in Ludueña, a native of Curicó, Chile. That side of her also showed up as Chapman sang her praises, noting she had a grade-point average better than 3.8.

She couldn’t let that stand: “3.91,” Ludueña corrected him.

The AL champions announced they had a deal Saturday, two days before they open the season.

The 23-year-old Ventura dazzled as a rookie last season, going 14-10 with a 3.20 ERA. The hard-throwing righty pitched seven shutout innings against San Francisco to win Game 6 of the World Series. The Giants won the title the next day.

Ventura was 1-0 with a 3.20 ERA in five postseason appearances, including four starts.

The contract runs through 2019 and includes club options for the following two seasons.

Pacers’ George to play today Indianapolis — Pacers star Paul George will play today against Miami just eight months after he broke his right leg while playing for Team USA in an exhibition game in Las Vegas.

The team announced his return Saturday. George says he is excited but also is aware he is “still in a rehab stage and will continue to work to get back to full strength.”

The two-time All-Star was expected to sit out the entire 2014-15 seasons after running into a basketball stanchion Aug. 1 and snapping his right leg in two places.

Within hours, George had surgery, and most figured he would not play until next fall.

But as his activity increased in February, president of basketball operations Larry Bird said he wanted George to play this season — if he could. George even targeted mid-March for a possible return.

Spieth has one-shot lead at Houston Houston — Jordan Spieth’s pre-Masters run of extraordinary golf continued Saturday as the 21-year-old Texas native shot a 5-under-par 67 to take a oneshot lead at the Houston Open.

Spieth sank a 41-foot birdie putt from just off the green on the par-3 16th to reach 14-underpar 202 in the final PGA Tour tuneup before the first major of the season. He’s coming off a title and a runner-up finish in his previous two starts, having climbed to No. 4 in the World Golf Rankings.

A victory today would allow Spieth to wrest the PGA point standings lead away from Jimmy Walker and further boost his confidence at Augusta National, where he came in second to Bubba Watson last spring.

there’s timeout in the backcourt, you don’t reset to 10. If there’s a foul in frontcourt, don’t reset to 35, reset to 18 or whatever. Reduce the shot clock. The biggest thing is, we’ve got to call fouls.

It’s hard to call fouls when everybody fouls every possession. Somehow we’ve got to get some absolutes like handchecking up front. That will create situations we learn to defend in a way that allows more freedom of movement. When that occurs, I think the game will get better.�

Self, who preaches inyour-face, man-to-man defense, said part of the reason scoring is down is simply, “Bad offense.

I think a lot of it is, it’s easier to coach defense than offense, and a lot of times it’s easier to stop people than it is to exploit people. I think a lot of coaches feel that way. “Here is the philosophy: The other team can’t score, you can’t lose. And you can control your defense and your rebounding and things like that.

BRIEFLY

Duke The start against Michigan State didn’t look too promising for a trip to Monday night’s title game against Wisconsin.

The Spartans were ahead 14-6 just four minutes into the game, making five of their first seven shots and the first four they took from beyond the three-point line.

Things changed and in a hurry. “After the first four minutes, we were a different team. We played great basketball tonight, especially on the defensive end,� Krzyzewski said.

Defensively, it was a team effort, just the way Krzyzewski has stressed for his 35 seasons at Duke. What had been wide-open three-pointers early for Michigan State became contested shots and when the Blue Devils started getting up and into the Spartans, the points were suddenly tough to come by. “They did a good job of taking me away,� said Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine, who had nine of his 22 points in that opening run, including three three-pointers. “I got hot, and they started denying a little bit and started forcing us to take bad shots, and the next thing you know they had the lead.�

KENTUCKY’S KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS, CENTER, GOES AFTER A REBOUND against Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky during the second half of Wisconsin’s 71-64 victory Saturday in Indianapolis.

Wisconsin CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“I just feel like we wanted to win the national title, and we didn’t do it, so the season was a waste,� UK freshman Tyler Ulis said.

Kentucky closes the season at 38-1 — two wins short of becoming the first undefeated team in college basketball since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers. Instead, these NBAready group of Wildcats join the star-studded 1991 UNLV team as the latest to take an undefeated record into the Final Four but lose in the semifinals.

Trending on Twitter: “38-and-Done.� And “38and-1.�

All easy pickins for the many detractors of John Calipari’s group of “One and Done� players, AllAmericans and other future first-round and lottery picks.

It’s not the only program with talent, though.

Wisconsin has some future pros, and they came up big in the biggest game of their lives — a rematch of last year’s semifinals when the Wildcats won 74-73.

This year, Kentucky had burnished a reputation as a team that never quits when things don’t look so good — a la last week’s win over Notre Dame — but Wisconsin stuck in there this time. “They did to us what we’ve been doing to other teams all season,� Calipari said. “They executed down the stretch and we didn’t.�

Trailing by four and gasping for breath with their hands on their knees after going six minutes without a bucket, the Badgers (36-3) responded with an 8-0 run to take a lead Kentucky couldn’t overcome. Kentucky led 60-56 with 6:37 left and didn’t score again until there were 56 seconds left.

trol execution and making shots. “I think it’s hard to win games because people give up less easy baskets.

One stat that you can look at, and one reason why numbers are down, it appears to me there’s less transition in college basketball than what there appeared to be in years past.

And of course with less transition, there’s obviously fewer possessions.�

Most fans seem to agree it’s more fun watching point guards push the pace rather than walking with the basketball. “Our players’ skill sets, I don’t think, is quite as good. I think it’s generally going down in large part because we don’t have as many good players playing, many great players playing the college game as what we’ve had in most of the years past because none of them stay past their sophomore year,�

Self said.

Self is in favor of letting players enter the NBA Draft right out of high school but would love for those who do attend college to stay two years.

He said he believes games still can be entertaining for those watching on TV and paying the price of admission and donations to get the best seats possible.

“The product is still great. You know, you go through phases of time in baseball, home runs are down or home runs are up, and football scoring is down or up. That’s just kind of the way it happens,� Self said. “But I think the rules committee has done a good job to promote the right things to give offenses not an advantage, but if it’s run right and executed right, that you would have an advantage over somebody that’s not as sound defensively.�

lete or student at KU who bleeds blue more than Belen Ludueùa.�

She assimilated into the Jayhawk culture quickly, during her freshman year. “I hated Missouri, even though I didn’t know the school,â€? LudueĂąa said with a chuckle.

So when she heard KState was KU’s new chief rival? “Well, it’s my rival, too.�

Saturday’s Kansas win marked the first time Ludueùa experienced a rivalry victory. The Wild-

cats had won the previous six meetings in the series.

So she left her adopted home courts proud — and perhaps a tad envious — of the singles victories by teammates Smith Hinton, Rachel McNeely and Lauren Pickens, as well as the doubles wins by Hinton and Summer Collins, and McNeely and Free State High product Alexis Czapinski. “It’s a team sport,â€? LudueĂąa said. “So if we win, if we get the ‘W,’ I should be happy. It doesn’t matter if I finish or not.â€?

Storming issue: Kansas State president Kirk Schulz told ESPN’s Andy Katz that the Big 12 will address the issue of court-storming at its spring meetings in a story available at http:// ljw.bz/1awzwQA. Schultz said he believes courtstorming should be allowed after games, but opposing players and coaches must be protected.

Self was pinned at the scorer’s table, and Jamari Traylor was charged by a KSU fan after the Wildcats’ win over KU on Feb. 23 in Manhattan. It’s possible the Big 12 could copy the lead of the SEC and fine schools that allow court-storming.

Stillwater, Okla. — Daniella Chavez’s base hit to right field in the eighth inning scored Lily Behrmann from second base, and No. 23-ranked Kansas University held on to beat Oklahoma State, 3-2, Saturday to complete a three-game Big 12 softball sweep. “I talk about Daniella coming through for us a lot and being clutch,� KU coach Megan Smith said of Chavez’s game-winning single. “It’s her demeanor.

She believes she is going to do it. She’s confident and calm. She doesn’t get worked up whether she is 0-2 or 2-2 and has the same approach, which I love. She came through big-time for us and is our clutch hitter, no question. When the game is on the line, I want her at the plate.�

The extra-inning run made a winner of reliever Sophia Templin (4-1), who pitched two scoreless innings. She didn’t allow a hit, walked one and struck out three.

Kansas (32-5 overall, 3-3 Big 12) will play a threegame set at Texas Tech starting Friday.

KU baseball falls in extras Norman, Okla. — For the third time in four days, Kansas University baseball suffered an extra-inning setback.

Saturday, Oklahoma took an 8-7, 10-inning victory to complete a sweep of their Big 12 series. “We are really competi-

WEATHER HISTORY Tambora, a volcano in Indonesia, erupted on April 5, 1815, sending 30 cubic miles of dust into the atmosphere.

Vargas effective in Royals’ victory Houston (ap) — Kansas City’s Jason Vargas and Houston’s Collin McHugh both ended the spring with solid starts as the Royals beat the Astros, 3-1, in the exhibition finale for both teams on Saturday.

Vargas didn’t allow a hit and struck out three in four innings in his best outing of the spring.

“He really did a nice job of commanding his pitches,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “His changeup was really, really good.”

It was a bounce-back performance from his last start, when he yielded seven hits and five runs with four home runs in five innings. Vargas was good for the Royals last season, posting a career-

best 3.71 earned-run average.

Vargas was happy to end the spring on a high note.

“It went well,” he said. “I got away with a few things, but anytime you can keep them off base it’s good. It’s always good for a positive mindset going into the season.”

McHugh allowed one hit and struck out three in four scoreless innings.

He’s coming off a solid season in which he went 11-9 and had a career-low 2.73 ERA. “They had a pretty good mix of righties and lefties, so I was able to throw all my pitches to both sides of the plate and work on some stuff,” McHugh said.

THE PEOPLE’S CHOIR Lawrence Civic Choir to celebrate turning 40 with concert

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

J

ust as individual grains of sand bond to form rock, members of the Lawrence Civic Choir have, since 1975, joined together to create “a mighty song of joy, of love, of light, of peace.”

So read the final stanzas of “One Out of Many,” a piece commissioned to longtime LCC accompanist Geoffrey Wilcken in honor of the group’s 40th anniversary. The song will premiere Thursday evening at the Lied Center during a special commemorative concert, 40 years and six days after the choir’s first performance back in April 1975.

“When you hear it, you’ll understand the meaning,” says David Ice, LCC president. “It’s about many people singing together to perform a joyous sound and to bring many people together via singing and music. That’s the final stanzas of the song, and that sort of tells you what this is all about.”

The concert will also feature the Lawrence Community

Orchestra, which will perform one piece on its own before joining the choir on Brahms’ “German Requiem.” Before and after the performance, guests are encouraged to check out a special display in the Lied Center’s lobby.

Over the last year, a planning committee has been asking current and past LCC members — 1,350 singers have been part of the choir over the years, Ice estimates — for memorabilia, including old photographs and programs from previous concerts.

All sorts of items started flooding in, which have been

sorted and put in display units, Ice says, adding that the goal was to illustrate what the group looked like when it started in 1975.

‘An interesting experience’ Andi Parson, the leader of that committee, could tell you.

From the last 40 years, the retired teacher is the last of the group’s original members.

Parson, who played piano and trumpet in her school days, had never sung in a choral setting before joining the LCC 40 years ago. There had been a general call for singers in the Lawrence Journal-World, she remembers, but it wasn’t unParson til a neighbor’s suggestion that Parson decided to jump in.

“She had three girls who were baby-sitter ages, and she said if my husband was out of town — which he was frequently — that she would see that her girls could baby-sit.

And that was just a contribu-

So far, it’s been “an interesting experience,” says Parson, who in 1980 traveled to Poland with the choir. Under the auspices of Ambassadors for Friendship, the Lawrence Civic Choir began its first in a series

of European tours meant to bring “hope and goodwill to audiences living behind the Iron Curtain,” according to the group’s website.

In 1980, Poland was still nine years away from overthrowing its communist government and establishing itself as a democracy. The country was the first in a line Please see CHOIR, page 3D

Don’t be ‘Furious,’ it’s only a fantasy SCENE T STEALERS

his weekend, millions of filmgoers will enter a fantasy world where beautiful, fantastical creatures unburdened by the laws of physics will frolic in the richest kingdom on their planet and pilot customized, futuristic machinery that flies through the air.

The story they will see is headlined by a monosyllabic troll who has the supernatural ability to crash high-speed vehicles over and over again and walk away unscathed. This superhero commands unmatched loyalty amongst his band of misfits, despite his reckless abandon and disregard for everyone’s safety.

At this point, if you think that I’m about to badmouth “Furious 7,” the latest entry in the Fast and Furious franchise, for being supremely unrealistic, you’re only half right.

To call it unrealistic would be an understatement. I’m comparing it to the worlds of hobbits, starfighters and superheroes because that’s the lens through which I can enjoy this supremely silly hunk of cheese, even as it embarrassingly begs to be taken seriously on some sort of dramatic level.

On one hand, there’s Dwayne Johnson (unfortunately sidelined for much of the film), who delivers his groanworthy dialogue with a knowing grin that matches the rampant absurdity of the goings-on.

On the other, there’s Vin Diesel, who believes every hokey word about family and loyalty that he utters throughout “Furious 7,” even though he hasn’t earned a lick of it.

He also famously said this week that he thinks the movie will win best picture at next year’s Oscars.

So, yes, Diesel’s refusal to be in on the joke makes it increasingly difficult to revel in the one thing that makes “Furious 7” special: its blatant disregard for logic.

Director James Wan and the stuntmen, choreographers and special effects wizards who dream up these elaborate set pieces — where all manner of moving vehicles do all kinds of impossible things at high speeds with people inside, outside and on top of them — deserve to be celebrated in the same way as stunt and chase pioneers like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

It takes an immense amount of creativity and skill to pull off a great chase scene, something that no one’s ever seen in the almost 90 years since Keaton perfected the art form in “Seven Chances.”

Then again, at a certain point you have to marvel at Diesel’s commitment to the corny. Boy, does he lay it on thick.

I can sympathize,

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com though, because it has to be tough when you’re a wrench-wielding tough guy dealing with an amnesiac wife who’s essentially back from the dead (Michelle Rodriguez) and a former bad boy of a best friend (Paul Walker) who drives a minivan and is now a stay-at-home dad.

In this mythic universe, the only way to protect his beloved family is to put everyone at risk by parachuting souped-up cars out of airplanes and crashing into other vehicles head on. Duh. So who cares if the plot doesn’t make sense?

The actors are completely secondary and the hoops they jump through to get to the next action scene are just that.

Often, screenwriter Chris Morgan puts the expositional dialogue in the mouth of a character only after the action scene has started, because he knows we don’t care why they’re there: We’re already with them.

Oh yeah, and Jason Statham is in it, doing Jason Statham things. Eh. The tragic car crash that took Walker’s life just before he completed filming on this sequel looms over the entire film.

His subplot is pretty tiny, and the couple of moments where digital effects cover his absence are a little noticeable, but mostly it’s the last scene in “Furious 7” that achieves real emotion because it plays on the viewer’s knowledge of Walker’s death even as the characters in the film refer to him as Brian. In fact, it’s the only moment in the movie that actually works on multiple levels.

“Furious 7” is pure escapism, playing highstakes chutes and ladders in a world where the dudes are handsome and muscle-bound, and the girls are falling out of their skimpy bikinis in slow motion. It’s a shame that the rest of the movie has to fall back on these macho stereotypes, so just try to remember that it doesn’t take place in any kind of reality.

No, this is an imperfect fantasy world; the only kind of place where a knuckleheaded dirtbag like Diesel’s Dominic Toretto could put on a tux and pass as an entitled millionaire in Abu Dhabi.

Vin Diesel, left, and Jason Statham in “Furious 7” “Furious 7” is rated PG13 for prolonged frenetic sequences of violence, action and mayhem, suggestive content, brief strong language, and unrealistic expectation that anything in the real world could ever measure up to being this “cool.”

Chaplin short films and The Charlie Crawl Speaking of silent film icon Charlie Chaplin, Liberty Hall is putting on a unique event next Saturday, April 11.

In addition to show-

ing a series of three Chaplin short films at 4 p.m. that day, the theater is holding The Charlie Crawl and encouraging locals to come dressed as Chaplin’s most famous character, The Tramp.

Participants are encouraged to “don your derby, slap on a toothbrush mustache, grab your bamboo cane, and congregate at the corner of 10th and Mass. at 2:30 p.m.” where the silent stroll will begin.

Once the Charlies reach Liberty Hall, prizes

will be given out for best costumes, and the fun will continue with three of Chaplin’s most revered three-reelers.

“Sunnyside,” from 1919, shows Chaplin cynically parodying his most famous character, while 1918’s “A Dog’s Life” might remind viewers of 2011 best picture winner “The Artist” as The Tramp pals around with his mutt sidekick.

“Shoulder Arms,” also from 1918, is a World War I comedy featuring Chaplin in the trenches in

France. At 46 minutes, it’s almost a feature, and the director-star made copies of the film available to fighting troops overseas to cheer them up.

THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS will kick off their 2015 season Monday against the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

The return of the Royals and Middle of the Map

T

he Kansas City Royals’ 2014 run was the stuff of legend, right up until the final heartbreaking out, and a special ceremony on Opening Day will pay tribute to that team’s extraordinary playoff run.

The first pitch in Monday’s season opener against the Chicago White Sox will be thrown at 3:10 p.m., but the parking lot at Truman Sports Complex opens at 9 a.m. for anyone who can’t wait to get the tailgating party started.

Gates to the stadium open at 1 p.m. and fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 2 p.m. for a special pregame ceremony that will include the 2014 A.L. Championship Ring presentation, the raising of the 2014 A.L. pennant and the national anthem performed by the Kansas City Symphony at 3:03 p.m.

Tickets for next week’s games are available at royals.mlb.com, or at StubHub.com. Parking for the games costs $12 for cars or $17 for oversized vehicles and is payable in cash only.

Middle of the Map film fest While South by Southwest gets infinitely more national attention, Kansas City’s Middle of the Map Fest is quietly building a name for itself as a hub of activity in the arenas of music, tech and film.

This week kicks off the film portion of the festival, with 25 different films and related events screening from Wednesday through Sunday at the Alamo Drafthouse downtown.

The selections in this year’s festival place a special emphasis on music, including the Elliot Smith documentary feature “Heaven Adores

A24/Contributed Photo

Liam Hemsworth and John Malkovich in “Cut Bank” You,” the vinyl-celebrating “Records Collecting Dust” and “Long Way to the Top,” which examines the life of touring musicians, just a handful of the selections.

The 8 p.m. Saturday showing of “Morphine: Journey of Dreams” will include director Mark Shuman and several members of the band Morphine in attendance.

Other notable selections include 83-yearold Jean-Luc Godard’s “Goodbye to Language” in 3-D, the animated Irish folk tale “Song of the Sea” and the star-studded thriller “Cut Bank.” The festival even includes a comedic, musical tribute to a bygone mall entitled “Metcalf South Memories.” You won’t see that at Sundance.

Tickets are only $30 for admission to all films, though you’ll need to do some scheduling to maximize your viewing experience. Check out middleofthemapfest.com/ films for more information and a full schedule.

On stage Parents of children ages 5 and up should act fast if they want to see the Coterie Theatre’s production of “The Cat in the Hat” at Crown Center.

The 50-minute production runs at least once daily (except Mondays) through May 17. Tickets

are for sale at thecoterie.org and cost $15 for adults and $10 for children.

Also at Crown Center is the Musical Theater Heritage’s production of “Guys and Dolls,” playing through April 19 at the Off Center Theatre.

Ticket prices range from $17 to $55 for adults and are free for children 16 years of age or younger.

At the Kauffman Center on Tuesday evening, Max Raabe and Palast Orchester will present the Weimar-era cabaret songs and pop standards of Berlin in the 1920s and ’30s.

The baritone crooner Raabe will be accompanied by a 12-piece orchestra, presenting a unique and entertaining slice of musical history.

Tickets are $29 and up at kauffmancenter.org.

This weekend, the Kansas City Symphony will project the legendary musical “Singin’ in the Rain” on the big screen while the orchestra performs the soundtrack live on stage.

A limited number of tickets are still available for the Friday evening performance. Call 816994-7200 for information.

of revolutions that year, now dubbed the Revolutions of 1989, which led to the fall of communism in Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Romania.

“At the time we were there, tourism was not...” says Parson, her words trailing off before adding, “Who signed up to go to Soviet country?”

Parson remembers stepping out of the plane at the Warsaw airport and being greeted by two armed soldiers at the bottom of the steps. Thirtyfive years had passed since the end of World War II, and Warsaw was in disrepair, with much of its hastily constructed Soviet housing crumbling after decades of heavy use.

Outside the city, rural residents lived in thatched-roof houses, often packing two families inside a tiny home meant for one. Farmers employed horse-drawn equipment to plow their fields, and folks used primitive brooms fashioned out of bundles of sticks. Shoes, Parson remembers, came in sizes small, medium and large.

“It was very Old World,” she says. “It was pretty obvious there wasn’t an abundance of consumer goods.”

But the people of Poland, it seemed, had not lost their humanity despite bleak conditions.

One day, Parson and the choir stopped to perform at a church. It was during the Feast of Corpus Christi, and parishioners remained in the cold, “meagerly furnished” church after mass for another hour just to hear the Americans’ music.

“Afterwards, they came up and wanted to tell you about relatives they had in Chicago or wherever, as if you’d possibly know them.

None of us spoke Polish beyond asking the fundamental questions of life,” Parson says. “But they were just so kind. I felt like people tried to help, even though the language barrier was so enormous.”

She’ll never forget handing out buttons — “the plastic little things you pin to your shirt” that read, “Poland 1980, Friendship Ambassadors, Lawrence Civic Choir” — to attendees afterward.

“We gave those things away, and you would think we were giving them money,” Parson recalls of the unexpected enthusiasm and gratitude she received from the Polish people.

Music, as the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote, is the universal language of mankind. The sentiment is just as true within the

Singing tunefully Since its founding in 1975, the Lawrence Civic Choir has never asked participants to audition, only mandating that they “sing tunefully.”

For two hours every Monday, about 100 singers of all ages — from seniors in high school to seniors in life — and musical backgrounds rehearse together at the First Baptist Church at 1330 Kasold Drive.

We share the music, we share texts, we’re together on most parts of things, and when the rehearsal is over, people scatter in every direction.

But you feel connected to pieces of the community.”

— Andi Parson, longtime Lawrence Civic Choir member

Some are recent additions. Some — at least a quarter — have belonged to the choir 20 years or more. But none have lasted as long as Parson, and “for the most part, I’m satisfied,” she says.

Coordinating the 40th

anniversary concert is her way of giving back.

After all these years, “you feel like you owe the organization something.”

Steve Eubank, the group’s artistic director, once described the Lawrence Civic Choir as “an intimate group of strangers,” Parson says.

“We share the music, we share texts, we’re together on most parts of things, and when the rehearsal is over, people scatter in every direction,” she explains. “But you feel connected to pieces of the community.”

Over time, most older singers simply “age out” of the choir when they no longer have the stamina to stand and sing for long periods of time, and Parson misses performing with her friends who’ve come and gone.

Parson says she’ll get there eventually, but she tries not to think about it in the meantime. She’s grateful to the choir that has introduced her to so many people and so much new music over the years.

“Your voice just doesn’t contribute anything, not that mine was ever in great shape,” the alto jokes. “I can learn the music and sing it relatively tunefully and after that, it’s something for me. It’s been very meaningful.”

Do photos always tell the whole story?

F

amous 20th century war photographer Robert Capa said, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”

The trouble is, it’s not always true.

Tightly cropped images can eliminate important information or context from the image.

Getting close may lead to visually stronger photos, but at what expense?

What is the photographer selectively leaving out?

Recently I read an article titled “The Rules of Photojournalism Are Keeping Us From the Truth” by Donald Weber. Weber is a World Press Photo juror and a member of the VII photo agency. One aspect of the article mentions the photographer’s subjective approach to a subject.

Weber writes, “Photographers choose where their frame goes. They selectively choose what the audience will see, will believe. Right off the bat, any individual image is deceptive, because there is no peripheral vi-

sion. Peripheries provide the greater context.”

Weber further suggests that the typical photojournalistic “style” leans toward images that rely heavily on aesthetics and technique at the loss of storytelling.

I was thinking about this article while crouched on the floor at the feet of KU basketball players Frank Mason III and Wayne Selden Jr. We were in a small locker room in Omaha after the Jayhawks’ loss to Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament.

Two dozen reporters and cameramen were

shoulder-to-shoulder surrounding me. I was attempting to identify and frame a clean, iconic photograph of dejected players. Did I mention I was really close?

It occurred to me that what I was working to capture told only part of the story. Might a reader be more interested in the larger scene of a chaotic locker-room?

There isn’t always a right or wrong way to photograph a subject.

But I agree that visual storytelling may not be in the reader’s best interest when the photographer puts technical and aesthetic qualities above everything else.

I’ve created a gallery of photographs accompanying this column online that broadens the periphery on a selection of photographs. See for yourself how different framing and a photographer’s approach interprets the scene.

AT LEFT, I framed Landen Lucas as a solitary figure in the lockerroom with several reporters in background interviewing other players.

BOOKS

For Erik Larson, the Lusitania’s passengers are as alive as ever

By Moira Macdonald The Seattle Times

“Unmistakable and invulnerable, a floating village in steel, the Lusitania glided by in the night as a giant black shadow cast upon the sea ...”

“When you think about the Lusitania, it’s really been tucked away in highschool timelines as this geopolitical artifact leading up to World War I,” said author Erik Larson, on the phone from his Larson New York home. “But what came home to me when I started to do my initial vague reading was that the actual drama of the sinking itself was so powerful.

When I realize that a couple of lifeboats had fallen on top of each other, that the ship had taken such a dramatic list that half the lifeboats were untouchable — that made me think, maybe there’s a lot more to it.”

Larson’s well known

for his nonfiction bestsellers — “In the Garden of Beasts,” “Thunderstruck,” “The Devil in the White City,” “Isaac’s Storm” — that smoothly transform history into page-turning thrillers.

His newest book, “Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania,” puts us on the deck of the famous “transatlantic greyhound” (so named for the impressive speed it could muster), on a fateful day in May 1915, off the southern Irish coast.

Unbeknown to the ship’s nearly 2,000 passengers and crew, the Lusitania was in the crosshairs of a German U-boat, whose deadly torpedoes broke the smoothness of the water that afternoon.

Intrigued by the idea of writing a book to commemorate the tragedy’s 100th anniversary, Larson began some preliminary research several years ago, visiting the Lusitania archive at Stanford University. There, something

“When I’m doing historical research, I need to have some kind of physical contact with the past,” he said. “Some kind of physical reassurance — hey, this really did happen.”

Sitting in the library of Stanford’s Hoover Institution, “minding my own business,” an archivist suddenly plopped something down on his desk.

“It was a plank of wood from a Lusitania lifeboat,” Larson said, “found next to a body on the beach. It had the ‘L’ brand on it.”

Though not a spiritualist (unlike Lusitania passenger Theodate Pope, one of many colorful characters we meet in the book), Larson took it as a “sign that I was on the right track.”

The Stanford visit was the beginning of a long journey of research (which Larson thoroughly enjoys — “it’s one of the reasons I love doing nonfiction”) that included six months spent

in the UK, visiting such treasure troves as the Imperial War Museum, the archives for the Cunard line, and Churchill College at Cambridge, where Winston Churchill’s papers reside. (Churchill, presiding over a topsecret British spy group, makes appearances in the book’s pages.)

Larson also visited a small town in Denmark, where the U-boat’s conning tower and other artifacts are on display in a museum.

And he spent countless hours poring over hand-

BOOK REVIEW

BEST-SELLERS

‘Cuba Straits’ full of baseball, history and romance

Here are the best-sellers for the week that ended March 29, compiled from nationwide data.

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel

With the easing of relations between the U.S. and Cuba, Randy Wayne White’s 22nd Doc Ford novel couldn’t be more timely. “Cuba Straits” delivers a rip-roaring plot filled with baseball, history, lost treasure and, just for good measure, a love triangle — all wrapped in politics.

Doc Ford quietly is going about his business as a marine biologist whose home and lab are in a marina on Sanibel Island. He is contemplating a relationship with a woman who is spending the season in one of the tourist cabins.

Workwise, he focuses on his sighting of a rare species of turtle not found in the Gulf Coast.

But Doc’s former life as a government agent always interferes.

General Juan Garcia, Doc’s old acquaintance — be careful who you call a friend — wants his help.

The former dictator of Masagua, “a tiny [fictional] country that exported bananas and revolution,” Garcia now makes a tidy profit smuggling Cuban baseball players into the U.S. and selling historical treasures. He needs Doc’s help in finding a runaway baseball player who may have absconded with a briefcase

filled with letters written to a secret girlfriend during the early 1960s. Garcia also wants Doc to go to Cuba with him because he knows where a cache of highly prized classic Harleys and several solid gold m a chine g u n s a r e buried.

A t r i p to Cuba isn’t a good idea for Doc — he barely escaped a firing squad decades ago and the government there has a long memory. But as Doc in-

vestigates, he learns that those letters may contain codes that reveal secrets about the U.S. and Cuba.

A Russian spy, a killer on the loose in Key West and the sometimes misguided politics of Doc’s sidekick, Tomlinson, add to the tightly coiled plot.

White deftly moves “Cuba Straits” from Florida’s West Coast to Cuba where “political extortion,” as Tomlinson says, is around every corner.

White continues to find fresh ways of bringing Doc into the chaos of world politics. While “Cuba Straits” focuses more on Tomlinson, Doc is not some avenging angel but rather a trained agent who knows how to maneuver in unfamiliar terrain. Who Doc decides to save — and why — showcases White’s storytelling at its best.

written papers — letters from a century ago, written by survivors and by those who perished in the sea (correspondence written before the ship sailed was delivered at about the time of the disaster).

“The thing that governed my choice of characters was the amount of material that they left behind, in the wake of the disaster,” Larson said.

In the book, we meet many of the ship’s vast population: Pope, one of the country’s early female architects; Dwight Harris, sailing to England to propose to his girlfriend and busily sending cheerfully exclamation-point filled letters home; Capt.

William Turner, a selfdescribed “old-fashioned sailorman” who would “sooner bathe in bilge” than make small talk with wealthy passengers.

In re-creating history, Larson said his goal is to have readers experience the story anew, as if it’s happening for the first time.

“My big hope is that when people read the book, they will find themselves hoping against hope that Lusitania won’t sink this time.”

KYLE THOMAS AND KING TUFF WILL BE PERFORMING WITH FATHER JOHN MISTY at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Granada.

IF YOU GO

Special to the Journal-World

Father John Misty with King Tuff will perform an all-ages show at 8 p.m. Tuesday (doors at 7 p.m.) at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $22 day of show.

They’re available for purchase at thegranada.com.

King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas isn’t one of those musicians who just passes through. When Thomas comes through Lawrence, he anticipates getting a little weird.

The wild garage rocker will be coming through town on Tuesday, opening for Father John Misty, and he’s already familiar with some eccentric occasions here.

“We’ve had some wild nights in Lawrence,” Thomas says, recounting instances involving costumes and exploring the vibrant downtown area. “The thing about Lawrence that I love, there’s an antique mall near the record store. I always find something weird in there.”

locals for “some weird food recommendations.” So if you brush up on your knowledge of local cuisine, Thomas says, “Maybe we’ll go get some weird food together.”

This loving relationship with the fans pays off well for Thomas.

He just released a video for “Madness,” which compiles footage from the band’s live shows across the nation. As one can expect at King Tuff shows, it doesn’t take much for a rock and roll ruckus to ensue. While the video makes King Tuff shows look thrilling, Thomas credits the bodies in the crowd.

“I think people don’t realize an effect the audience has on the performance,” he says. “Usually when they are going crazy, that makes us play a lot better and gives us energy. Really, the crowd controls how much energy I have.”

Crowd control Thomas isn’t one to just sit idly by on tour. Connecting with his audiences both on and offstage is high on his priority list, and those folks rarely show up empty-handed.

“I’m pretty sure I have the coolest fans. I have really creative fans. They bring us lots of interesting and weird gifts,” says Thomas, who has received everything from artwork to a Frankenstein mask. “I try not to have that whole untouchable persona.

I like meeting people, and I like connecting with people. So I try not to be that too-cool-for-school celebrity style. I’m not so into that; I like actually connecting with people.”

Thomas also likes to hit up the

A lost art The energy seems to be in high demand. King Tuff has released three albums since 2008, and it’s Thomas’ knack for blending garage, glam and psychedelic that has gotten him to stand out in the

saturated garage rock scene.

“I’ve never sat down and thought of myself as writing one kind of song,” he says. “I’ve always done different kinds of songs. I’ve had a lot of different styles of bands over the years. It changes and evolves over time.

The key is to not worry about what people are going to think.”

Part of his ability to evolve comes from his need to create.

“I really just want to work on writing better songs and telling story through song, which I feel is a lost art these days. A lot of people focus on sound as opposed to song,” he says. “I have to feel like the song is about something interesting to me. I have to feel like it’s a song that’s never been written before, and it’s got a unique take on something classic.”

You could say Thomas has a bit of a give-and-take relationship with his audience. He creates music, they bring him little gifts at shows, and seeing that satisfaction in his fans encourages him to keep creating.

“I feel like it brings certain amounts of joy to the world.

That’s what I get out of it, when people come up to me and tell me what they love about it,” he says. “But it’s also just rewarding to make art, and that’s kind of therapy.”

You can indulge in some or that artistic therapy when King Tuff opens for Father John Misty on Tuesday at the Granada.

esumes are a lot like clothes. A specific style or design may be the hot new trend one day and completely outdated the next.

With such a rapid ascent into irrelevance it’s no wonder career seekers are having a hard time leveraging their resumes into landing that dream job. So dust off your career documents and spruce them up if you’re hitting the job market any time soon.

It’s time to look your best.

DITCH THE OBJECTIVE One of the most recent trends in resume writing is to swap out that stale objective for a glowing personal statement that highlights your key skills and accomplishments.

Still recommended to be between three and five sentences,

this opening summary will be your first — and possibly last — chance to capture and retain the attention of recruiters and hiring managers.

Phrases like “results-oriented” or “dynamic” are a thing of the past, too. Liven things up with key descriptor that sells your most valuable attributes.

uments. But it is the cold, hard truth.

Depending on the vacant position, employers can field upwards of 100 resumes and cover letters per day. That’s a lot of reading!

Your best chance to land in the keeper pile is to get to the point, and get there fast.

Spend the most time focusing on the top third of your resume.

This is where you can market yourself as a must-have commodity by integrating bigwin accomplishments and specific keywords aligned with what the employer is seeking.

GET TO THE POINT In some cases, recruiters are spending less than two minutes looking over your resume.

That doesn’t sound fair, especially considering the hours you poured into perfect- BEAT THE SYSTEM Speaking of keying your career doc-

words, they are your best friend when it comes to beating the Applicant Tracking Systems that so many employers are using to screen prospective employees.

With the explosion of online job boards and social networking ca-

reer sites like LinkedIn, hiring departments use these systems to stem the tide of the countless resumes hitting their inboxes.

The systems act as barriers against irrelevant submissions by matching the wording of incoming applica-

tions with that of the job description. Resumes heavy in industry keywords pass the test. Ones with bland, generic language do not.

COVER LETTERS

As important as a strong resume is to your career trajectory, a well-crafted cover letter can open just as many doors.

attribute, explain how you have utilized it to make a difference for past employers.

Hiring managers want to see not only what you can do, but also what you have done.

The cover letter is generally the first thing read by recruiters and can help set you apart — either positively or negatively. Treated by many job seekers as a generic, mundane part of their search, the cover letter can serve as a vital marketing tool if done correctly.

SELL YOURSELF You never get the second chance to make a first impression. As cliché as that sounds, it is true when it comes to catching the attention of hiring managers.

If nine out of 10 cover letters start with the line, “I am writing in response to your vacant position,” then why not be the one to go against the grain with

a strong, unique opening statement?

A memorable cover letter can be just as important as a keyword-laden resume.

Accentuate your key accomplishments or job responsibilities by breaking them out into bullet form. By just separating three or four of your shinBREAK UP THE ing qualities, you can PARAGRAPHS Nothing puts re- greatly help the flow cruiters to sleep more of your cover letter.

But do not just list a quickly than a full page set of skills. For each of paragraphs.

CUSTOMIZE IT Not all cover letters are created equal. Experts urge job seekers to customize their cover letters to match descriptions of jobs for which they are applying.

Much like the keyword strategy in resumes, cover letters are more effective if they are similar in tone and language to your prospective employer’s needs.

Edit, Edit, Edit!

We’ve all made them. Big, bold, impossible-to-ignore typos. While a written mistake within a company email or personal correspondence can be embarrassing, leaving one on your career documentation can downright cost you your dream job.

Take the extra time to read over your documents one more time before dropping them off at the post office or hitting that “send” button. You’ll be glad you did.

GET FEEDBACK

The more eyes the better when it comes to editing your resume and cover letter.

Fresh eyes can help you spot typos you may have missed.

TAKE A BREAK

Step away from the computer and clear your mind for a bit. When you get back to your desk you will be refreshed and ready to continue proofreading your work.

Success

It sounds obvious, but hiring managers will tell you about many applicants who walk in for their interviews not looking the part.

There goes all that hard work you put into your resume and cover letter to land an interview. Although there are exceptions to the rule, most companies expect men and women alike to wear Keep the professional attire during the attention on interview process. your skills, not the way Crisp suits, sharp accessoyou look. ries and a well-groomed appearance will make that first impression count.

WOMEN A pair of black dress slacks are a versatile tool in any woman’s interview wardrobe.

It is easy to dress them up or down depending on what type of job you are pursuing. Matching them with a button down shirt and a blazer can help land that formal office job, while pairing them with a sweater can give you more of a business casual approach perfect for sales jobs.

And don’t forget the shoes. Moderate heel heights and muted colors are fashion-forward options that can help accentuate that perfect interview outfit.

MEN Men’s fashion is pretty straightforward, as good style can be attained with a slick suit and tie. But some companies have loosed their dress codes over the years.

And for startup companies or non-professional jobs, you can get away with ditching the tie and opting for a more business casual look.

Of course, a white button down and colorful tie covered with a well-fitting blazer or sports coat is probably your best, safest option when choosing your wardrobe strategy.

GROOMING It should go without saying, but you would be surprised at what hiring managers have seen during their years of experience interviewing candidates.

Combing your hair and splashing on some cologne or perfume are good places to start.

Guys, don’t forget to shave or trim your facial hair. Ladies, choose a hair style that won’t require you to be flipping hair out of your eyes during the entire interview.

For more great interview tips, catch Peter Steimle’s presentation at the Job & Resource Fair! 12:30pm • April 9th

NAIL THE INTERVIEW Landing an interview is a rewarding feeling for any job seeker. It means you were successful in marketing yourself as a difference-maker.

It’s OK to celebrate – but not for too long.

There is still much work to be done if you want to go from candidate to hired employee.

Depending on your personal demeanor and comfort level in social situations, interviews can either be pleasant or awkward.

There are specific steps you can take to make sure your experience is anything but the latter.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Try to think like a recruiter. What will he or she ask you during the interview pro-

cess? Write down as many questions you can think of and practice answering them in front of a mirror.

Recording yourself with a voice recorder or even your webcam can help you pick up on any language habits or physical mannerisms that might be holding you back.

Practice looking at your targets instead of glaring toward the floor. Your goal is to engage your interviewer and enhance your reputation as a great communicator.

cide to scrap your account.

Most companies will respect your urgency and work hard to resolve your issues.

This doesn’t mean you have to post only job-related information and career goals onto your Facebook wall or Twitter feed. Prospective employers actually like to read about your home life and opinions.

Find the right balance and post consistently to maintain a strong presence.

Checking a prospective employees’ social media activity is one of the first things that many hiring managers do before even reading his or her resume.

Posts and pictures are public information and can be used to either bolster or bust your CHECK POLICIES chances of getting called for an interview.

If you opt to ditch social media altogether, deleting your personal page from many sites can CLEAN IT UP Vulgar language and lewd pictures aren’t ex- take up to a few months.

To expedite the process, email the sites’ cusactly what you want your potential employers seeing when they conduct an internet search of tomer support team to find out how long of a period, if any, there is to wait out after you deyour name.

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS Let your friends know that you are on the job market. Tell them that you are toning down all social media action and to not list anything offensive on your home pages.

Hiring managers can read messages from you and your friends alike, so covering all of your bases can serve you well when trying to boast a clean online presence.

BRANCH OUT Many social media sites are venturing into the job-posting market. LinkedIn serves as a onestop shop for recruiters and job seekers alike to find new job listings and to connect with other professionals.

EFFECTIVE NETWORKING

Effective job searchers can be enhanced by hitting the phones, sending emails and meeting face-to-face with influential business leaders – even if they are not hiring at the time.

In fact, many vacant job opportunities are never even advertised.

So while the majority of job seekers are monotonously searching internet job boards and newspaper ads, it is important for you to mix networking strategies into your approach.

USE CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS Networking is based on utilizing the people you know to uncover other relationships that could benefit you in the long run.

Start with your friends and family members, and ask them if they have heard of any job openings. They will be happy to ask around, as well, and pretty soon you could have an army of job hunters on your side.

Extend your networking efforts online,

as well, with the help of sites like LinkedIn. These networking tools can help you easily identify company’s hiring managers and all of the people connected to them.

Make some cold calls or send your resume through email with an introductory message. ready to make connecProactive beats reac- tions.

Put on your best outfit and head downtown. Local businesses are more likely to fill their professional openings with local talent, while larger corporations usually hire internally or bring in workers from other
