Review finds Lawrence police voided city tickets without proper approvals

A

About these stories In May 2011, the city began an investigation into allegations that Lawrence police officers had improperly dismissed traffic tickets for Kansas University athletic officials, who also were facing charges related to allegations of stealing more than $1 million worth of athletic tickets from KU. Ultimately two Lawrence police officers — Matt Sarna and Michael Monroe — lost their jobs over the matter.

Monroe filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city. As we have reported, Monroe lost that suit against the city in August. During parts of that lawsuit, portions of the court file were closed to the public.

Some court records were unsealed in 2014.

it before it reaches the court system; dismissing it means canceling it after it has entered the court system.

As part of the review, the Journal-World discovered 88 tickets that were voided before a supervisor gave approval for the voids. The review of 927 void and dismissal forms filed by Lawrence police officers between August 2012 and 2016 found many lacked required signatures from officers or prosecutors, or were vague about the reasons why a ticket was being canceled.

As a result of questions raised by the JournalWorld, the city began a review of its current policies and has implemented several changes, including an annual audit of tickets voided.

The city also is contemplating further changes to its policies, which may include provisions that require court prosecutors to approve the voiding of tickets rather than police supervisors. Such a change would more closely align the Lawrence Police Department’s ticket-voiding policies with other area police departments such as those in Topeka and Olathe.

Following the dismissal of the lawsuit in August, the Journal-World assigned two reporters to begin looking in detail at the entire court file and other documents related to the case, which numbered thousands of pages. That review took multiple months. The timing of the assignment was determined, in part, by the fact that the lawsuit was no longer pending, which we hoped would make it easier for the city to respond to questions.

The city routinely declines to answer questions about matters that are under litigation.

These articles explain what our reporters — Karen Dillon and Conrad Swanson — found during the course of their review.

We probably need to do a better job, do some deconfliction between the (police department’s) Office of Professional Accountability and municipal court.”

Tudy Youngberg remembers when Cordley Elementary School was “just a box”: a two-story red brick building with no kitchen and a gym in the basement. As a girl in 1942, Youngberg entered the school’s double doors wearing a feed-sack dress and wool stockings, and next week she’ll enter those doors again.

“That school was central to my life,” Youngberg said, adding how grateful she is that it is still operating.

After talk of potential closings, Lawrence voters approved a $92.5 million bond issue in 2013 to improve all the district’s schools, particularly the older elementary schools in central and east Lawrence. The renovation of Cordley was completed last year, but the core of the school — what stood when Youngberg attended — still stands.

The Journal-World several months ago began reviewing how the Lawrence Police Department and Municipal Court void and dismiss tickets ranging from speeding and parking violations to battery and public urination.

The review began after former Lawrence police officer Mike Monroe in August of last year lost his final appeal in a court case alleging that the city had improperly fired him for his role in a 2012 ticket-fixing scandal. That scandal involved at least one Lawrence police officer fixing traffic tickets in exchange for valuable Kansas University athletics tickets.

Documents related to that court case raised questions about the frequency with which police officers were dismissing tickets and the reasons why tickets would sometimes be voided. Voiding a ticket means canceling

Cedar Point — Prairie burning — a Flint Hills tradition that dates back to Native American land management practices — requires a perfect balance of courage and caution.

Above all, it requires experience.

Under the right circumstances, however, there’s plenty of room for amateur participation.

An annual event at the Flying W Ranch in Cedar Point, a tiny town about 70 miles south of Manhattan, provides just that opportunity. This year’s event took place last weekend and saw 200 participants, some of whom came from as far away as Minnesota.

The cost to participate was $110, which covers a full day of traditional ranching activities from barbecue dinner to bluegrass music to prairie burning. A daytime burn took place in the afternoon followed by a night burn after dark.

The Manhattan Mercury reports that Josh and Gwen Hoy, owners of the Flying W, have built a career around hosting guests on their working cattle ranch, which has grown over the past 10 years into a tourist destination. Despite the influx of visitors, ranch operations have remained as close to authentic as possible.

Each year the ranch opens its prescribed burns for tourists. event, Brian Obermeyer, director of the Nature Conservancy’s Flint Hills Initiative, said the practice is essential to preserving what’s left of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem.

The ecosystem has been reduced to roughly 4 percent the size it once was, from almost 200 million acres to 10,000.

About two-thirds of those 10,000 acres are located in the Flint Hills.

“It’s not the most endangered ecosystem (in North America),” Obermeyer said. “But as far as an ecosystem that has been so greatly diminished, there’s none other that equals that.”

Prairie burning prevents grasslands from eventually turning into forests, in addition to reducing the risk of wildfires in the long term.

Indians originally started

brief with the state Supreme Court on Friday urging it to withdraw its threat to close the state’s schools.

The court ruled in February that the state wasn’t giving its poorest districts their fair share of funding, and the justices threatened to shut down schools

With no kitchen, the students had an hour break in the middle of the day so they could go home for lunch. The memories Youngberg has of her neighborhood school are all fond ones, she said.

Obermeyer said the Flint Hills are alive and well thanks in large part to yearly burns, which maintain a relatively treeless landscape. Around 26 percent of the Flint Hills is burned annually.

“Some of the other folks I work with at the Nature Conservancy, they’re jealous as heck because I’m in a landscape where there’s this fire culture, it’s in the DNA. People aren’t afraid of fire,” he said. “In other landscapes where they’re trying to reintroduce fire to that landscape. the landowners, the ranchers, they’re not comfortable lighting fire.

Cordley was the pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church for nearly 40 years and also served on the school board. He died in 1904, and the school was later named in his honor.

“This wasn’t just a place you go for six hours of the day, nine months of the year,” he said. “It was an alternative community and home.”

That sense of community is what organizers of the event would like to celebrate. Zogry, who has two children who attend Cordley, said having the event open to the public is key.

“We feel like we’ve been a strong component and representative of our community,” Zogry said.

Youngberg said she will “absolutely” attend the celebration and is looking forward to seeing some of the classmates whom she has remained friends with over the years.

The Cordley 100th Celebration and Fun Fest will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

ROADWORK Lawrence: l West Eighth Street, between Kentucky and Tennessee streets, will be closed for reconstruction through May 20.

Temporary single-lane closures may occur on Tennessee and Kentucky streets, as well as sidewalk closures and detours. l The westbound lanes of Kansas Highway 10 will be shifted side-by-side next to the eastbound lanes between East 1900 Road and O’Connell Road to build the new westbound lanes, beginning Wednesday morning and lasting through the fall. A 45 mph speed limit will be in place for the duration of the work. Expect delays. l The easternmost northbound lane of Iowa Street is closed between 34th and 35th streets as

part of the South Lawrence Trafficway project.

The lane will likely remain closed until May 20. l A bridge over the Wakarusa River on County Road 1055 just south of Lawrence is closed so repairs started last year can be completed. The bridge, about 1.25 miles south of 31st Street, is expected to remain closed until May 6. l The intersection of Sixth and Walnut streets in North Lawrence will be closed until mid-April, weather permitting, for installation of a storm sewer main associated with the Maple Street Stormwater Pump Station project. l Michigan Street between Second and Fourth streets is currently restricted to one southbound lane for installation of a waterline.

Justices

Kathleen Sebelius and Bill Graves.

Polls showed support for retaining the justices, but that could change as “outside” money flooded into the state, Wright said. Retention foes can raise unlimited funds because Kansas campaign finance laws do not pertain to justice retention bids. Justices, on the other hand, are limited by ethics, both in fundraising and campaigning, he said.

“Judges can’t talk about cases, nor should they,” Wright said.

“They were intentionally made nonpoliticians for a reason.”

to counter the bid and supporting efforts to educate the public on the retention issue, Wright said.

The Kansas Supreme Court has been under fire for a decade from conservatives at odds with rulings on such issues as education funding and abortion, Wright and Watkins said. There have been 55 measures introduced in the Legislature in the past three years that would change the process of selecting judges, make their impeachment easier, defund the state’s judiciary system and constrain judges’

actions, they said. The state’s judiciary system is currently operating on an emergency order because of the Legislature’s dissatisfaction with its decisions.

Conservatives have tried to reshape the court by replacing the state’s current nonpolitical merit-based system of appointing Supreme Court justices, the panelists said. Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed two different measures to achieve that goal. He first called for a modified federal system of the Senate confirming a gubernatorial appointment and

now advocates for their direct elections, Watkins said. Brownback’s proposals have thus far failed to get the support of twothirds of the Legislature required to pass constitution amendments.

As for Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Count, Dickinson said he was “not sure I see a happy ending for this.” His concern was about the precedent established by Senate Republicans’ “dereliction of duty” in refusing to consider Garland, he said.

Should it prove successful, there would be no reason for Senate Democrats to consider any nomination from Donald Trump or Ted Cruz should one be elected president, or Republicans to consider any nominations from Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, Dickinson said.

volunteer efforts at the Peterson Park Community Garden.

About 25 students from KU Christian Challenge helped prepare ground for plots at the first-year community garden.

“They weren’t afraid to get dirty,” Brunin said.

“They get down and get right after it.”

With the students’ effort, the community garden is on schedule to start planting in raised beds on May 1, she said.

There was an added benefit from the KU students’ presence.

“We had a lot of neighborhood kids come over and start helping when they saw all the commotion,” she said. “We’re going to have a kids’ garden, so it was nice to have them here.”

— Reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

The failure to consider Garland also would convince future presidents there was no advantage to nominating moderates, Dickinson said. That could lead to the appointment of justices with more extreme views and further political polarization of the court, he said.

There was nothing that could force the Senate to act, Dickinson said. That left it to the electorate to insist senators do their constitutional duty, starting with Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley.

“He’s 82 years old running for his seventh term,” Dickinson said. “I think it’s really important for the people of Iowa to say, ‘We’re not going to elect people to the Senate who won’t perform their constitutional duties.”

Officials still unsure about PRESIDENT mental hospital’s future SPRING SALE

By John Hanna

“

There does not appear to be a look longrange, a master plan, a plan to build out — A roll- capacity.”

Associated Press

Osawatomie ing landscape and treedotted vistas belie a flurry of activity at the state mental hospital in eastern Kansas, as administrators and employees work to bring it back into line with federal standards this summer and officials ponder its longer-term future.

Citing a “systemic failure” to protect suicidal patients, adequately supervise care and perform required safety checks, the federal government decertified Osawatomie State Hospital in December. The state is losing up to $1 million a month in federal funds.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration hopes to see the hospital recertified by July. But legislators in both parties worry that the short-term focus on meeting federal standards means the state isn’t dealing enough with the longer-term question of whether it has enough hospital beds for the mentally ill.

“That’s part of a much bigger conversation,” said Tim Keck, the interim secretary of the state Department for Aging and Disability Services, which oversees the hospital.

Keck said his department first wants to have federal officials see a decision to recertify the hospital as a “no-brainer” based on a “wholesale change” on its 391-acre campus about 45 miles southwest of Kansas City. The federal government’s action came after a critical November survey and an employee reported being raped by a patient in October.

A July 2015 survey forced the state to make renovations designed to eliminate patient suicide risks. The hospital capped its population at 146 patients — 60 fewer

— Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka beds — in June 2015 to accommodate the work.

The state last month increased the pay for nurses, and it has filled nearly 60 positions since mid-January. It plans to restart a program in June to train mental health technicians at the hospital’s campus. The department has brought in consultants to improve operations and the planning of patient care.

But Kansas House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a Republican from nearby Louisburg, said the state also needs to put the additional 60 beds back online as soon as possible, because “We’re putting a lot of stress on the entire system.”

The department also has floated the possibility of turning the hospital over to a private company.

Legislators reacted to the idea by adding a provision in the state budget that requires their approval first.

“There does not appear to be a look long-range, a master plan, a plan to build out capacity,” Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat, said after touring the hospital recently.

The discussion about the hospital comes as it approaches the 150th anniversary of receiving its first patient in November 1866.

Reminders of the past mark the campus in older buildings. A largely deserted medical building contains old equipment, including machines used in shock therapy. It also contains cots used in 2014, when the population hit 258, according to a critical October 2014 survey.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the

Spring’s Best Styles survey report and other federal and state documents about the hospital through an open records request. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services first threatened to cut off federal funds in November 2014, when the hospital was 25 percent over its 206-bed capacity.

Other critical reports followed, raising questions about care and nursing shortages.

Last July’s survey spent more than 90 pages listing issues with fixtures in various buildings that it said could allow patients to hang or strangle themselves. The hospital is finishing up renovations that will leave 60 patients surrounded by modernistic plastic furniture, handles that give way and doors with alarms on top.

But state officials stressed that the reported rape and the November survey prompted the federal government to decertify the hospital. In a February letter to a Democratic legislator later provided to AP, the county prosecutor said the criminal case against the alleged rapist was one of five she filed last year in which patients were charged with battering employees.

Keck and hospital officials said the recent pay raise for nurses is making it easier to fill positions and address staffing issues. Kathy Bolmer, a Nashville-area consultant hired by the state, said she’s encountered “almost no pushback” from employees in working on operations changes.

“I feel pretty good about the pathway that hospital’s on now,” Bolmer said.

Internet mapping issue plagues rural property Potwin (ap) — Joyce Vogelman Taylor couldn’t quite explain why strangers kept calling or showing up at a property she owns in rural Kansas.

But she gained some clarity recently when the website Fusion.net published an article about a Massachusetts-based company, MaxMind, which helps companies learn where

their Internet traffic comes from. In its 2002 search for a middle-of-America spot for a U.S default IP address, and after consulting reference materials, MaxMind unknowingly selected the same geographic coordinates as Taylor’s property.

Sometimes MaxMind clients would want to know what state or city Internet traffic comes from. Others might want

to know an exact house so, for example, they could send letters telling people to stop downloading illegal movies and music, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Because of the confusion over the IP address and the physical address, since 2011 people had been showing up at the Vogelman property claiming that the IP address for their complaints was associated with the

property. Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet eventually had to post a sign on the edge of the property telling people there had been a mistake and to call the sheriff.

The Fusion article said MaxMind planned to move the geographic location for its default IP address away from Taylor’s property north of Potwin and to a body of water.

BOTTOM LINE



The City Commission will consider a change in how its meetings’ minutes are recorded that would use video integrated into online city reports.

The current practice of recording City Commission meetings is through a verbatim transcription

— a practice the city clerk’s office says is not a city mandate. A city memorandum on the issue calls the verbatim minutes “excessive, wordy and confusing.”

The city clerk’s and communications offices are proposing to stop

recording written minutes.

Instead, they want to include the commissioners’ decision on a particular topic onto one webpage, with a link that brings up a video of the discussion of that topic. The memorandum states the new method would free up staff

time, “rival many systems offered in the private sector” and allow people to “review each decision in its full context on a single webpage.”

An example of the proposed new system can be found on the city’s website.

FIFTY MEMBERS OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S BETA THETA PI FRATERNITY took an overnight bus ride to Evergreen, Colo., where they initiated freshman Tom Babb, who had been paralyzed in an accident over the winter break, in a special ceremony Feb. 20.

Fraternity CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“We are committed to doing everything in our power to ensure that no matter what his condition is, he will be able to come back here and live as normal a life as possible,” said Beta vice president external Joe Simmons, a junior from Mission Hills.

So far, in addition to the initiation trip, that has included planning renovations to the Beta chapter house at 1425 Tennessee St. and organizing a 5k run set for April 24 that, as of Friday, had registered nearly 500 participants and raised roughly $30,000.

Proceeds from the “TomSTRONG 5k Run/ Walk/Roll” aren’t going directly to Babb, however.

After conversations with KU’s Academic Achievement and Access Center, the fraternity and Babb’s family decided to create a fund that could potentially help Babb and other students like him with serious physical disabilities.

The newly established Tom Babb Student Accessibility Scholarship fund will provide scholarships to KU students with physical disabilities who require full-time care from a professional caregiver, according to KU Endowment representatives.

The Academic Achievement and Access Center helps students with disabilities get where they need to go on campus — Jay Lift transportation service is one example — but paying for personal needs such as a caregiver has always fallen to the student, center director Andrew Shoemaker said. The new fund could help students cover some of those burdensome costs.

“I was thrilled,” Shoemaker said of being contacted about the new fund, “but I was more thrilled that the fraternity has kind of rallied and taken a really hard look at what students in Tom’s situation may be facing upon returning to campus.”

Babb has been making progress, according to friends and family.

The idea of returning to KU is many steps beyond the days following the accident, when Babb could not even breathe on his own.

If you go The TomSTRONG 5k Run/Walk/Roll is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. April 24 at Memorial Stadium on the Kansas University campus.

For more information or to register, go online to tomstrong5k.org.

KU’s Beta Theta Pi fraternity, which is organizing the event, and the family of freshman member Tom Babb have decided to donate race proceeds to a newly created KU Endowment fund: the Tom Babb Student Accessibility Scholarship. The fund will provide scholarships to KU students with physical disabilities who require full-time care.

get their dad for lunch.

“When we turned around, his limp body was being tossed ashore by the waves,” she said.

“In a blur, people jumped up and helped us get him out of the water. By the grace of God, there were doctors all over the beach that immediately came to the rescue.”

Paramedics rushed Tom Babb to a hospital in Maui, which was 45 minutes away, his sister said. Two days later he was flown to Oahu, where he underwent a seven-hour surgery but remained on a ventilator, unable to breathe on his own, or talk.

Doctors told Babb he would never breathe on his own again, his sister said.

In mid-January Babb was flown back to Colorado, where he was admitted to Craig Hospital in Englewood, which specializes in rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injury. By the end of the month he was off the ventilator, breathing on his own, able to speak again and maneuvering a wheelchair using sip-andpuff controls.

After months of intense daily therapy, Babb was scheduled to leave Craig and return home to his family’s house in Evergreen this month.

Babb’s mother, Christa Babb, said in the video that their family had made a decision to stick together, step up, and do what they needed to do for Tom. “You don’t have a choice, you just have to ‘I knew I was choose to go forward,” she paralyzed’ said. “I’m in a zone right On Dec. 27, while on va- now, and I know the zone cation with his family in is going to be forever, but Hawaii, Babb was jumping it’s going to get better.” into waves in the ocean as he’d been doing all morn- A happy day The rest of Babb’s ing, but something — possibly a wave pushing him pledge class was initiated down, though he’s not ex- Feb. 7 in Lawrence.

Colorado on Feb. 20 for Babb’s remote initiation.

DeVries had driven out to visit Babb once before the initiation trip. He and a couple of other pledge brothers watched the KU-Kentucky basketball game with him at Craig.

Despite seeing pictures first, DeVries said it was “shocking” to see his friend injured, with no feeling from the neck down and enduring such intense daily therapies — repositioning his chair every 15 minutes, hooking electrodes to his legs, being put on a bike simulator, only eating food in small pieces.

Until the initiation trip, not many of the other members fully comprehended the gravity of what Babb was going through, DeVries said.

“When he rolled up it increased the realness factor,” DeVries said.

“That’s when everyone really understood the intensity of the situation.”

Limbs aside, Babb was his usual “no filter” self, saying whatever came to his mind, DeVries said.

“The only thing he can do right now is talk, so he takes full advantage of that.”

And there was his smile.

“His face just lit up,” DeVries said. “It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.”

Simmons said the same.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever felt anything quite like that,” he said. “Going through what he did and just seeing the sheer joy on his face — it was astonishing, and it was very uplifting.”

Looking ahead Babb said in the video that he’s appreciated the encouragement he’s gotten via letters and social media.

Likewise, family members, friends and even strangers have said they are inspired by his determination.

Whether Babb will actually be able to live in the Beta house is a “complex” issue, Simmons said, and ultimately that decision will be up to him, his family and his doctors.

At minimum, the chapter hopes to widen doorways and make some other modifications that would allow him to come and go in his motorized wheelchair, Simmons said. Simmons added that he’s been told, incidentally, the wheelchair is powerful enough to make it up the 14th Street hill.

Babb has regained some limited movement in his arms, said DeVries, who visited again over spring break. DeVries said Babb and his family plan to travel to Lawrence for next week’s 5k.

“He’s really made a lot, lot, lot of progress since the very beginning … it makes me very hopeful for the future,” DeVries said.

“Regardless of whether or not he lives in the house next year, I have a feeling that he’s going to be there very, very often.”

City can’t produce ticket records prior to 2012 Void and dismissal forms from scandal period not found

By Conrad Swanson and Karen Dillon Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson; @karensdillon

City records have disappeared that would show how many times Lawrence police officers were voiding traffic tickets during the height of a Kansas University athletic ticket scandal, a JournalWorld review has found.

In 2012, two Lawrence police officers ultimately lost their jobs after they became implicated in the KU ticket scandal, which partially involved a KU athletic official giving KU athletic tickets to at least one Lawrence police officer who dismissed multiple traffic tickets for the KU athletic official.

More details about the police department and the KU scandal recently became available after several court documents were unsealed when former Lawrence police officer Mike Monroe lost his final appeal in a wrongful termination suit against the city in August.

As part of a months-long review of those documents, the Journal-World filed a

“

If we implement a protocol, you implement it and there is an expectation the part of supervision to understand policy changes implemented by the police department.”

— Former Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin

Kansas Open Records request for forms that would show how frequently police officers were voiding traffic tickets for KU officials and other members of the general public. Specifically, the Journal-World asked for all void and ticket dismissal forms filled out by the city from 2005 to 2016.

City officials responded that they do not have any forms prior to 2012, and said that if the forms had existed at one time, they weren’t obligated to keep them.

“Prior to 2012, a form was not required, and the policy did not require the city maintain the forms,” said City At-

torney Toni Wheeler.

The city had a policy in place during the height of the KU ticket scandal that prohibited police officers from voiding traffic tickets for reasons of favoritism. But without the forms, it is difficult to conduct a review of whether the policy was being adhered to during that time period.

Two Lawrence police chiefs said void and dismissal forms from the time period definitely did exist in city records at one point.

Former Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin told the Journal-World the forms were used by officers on his force from 2005 to his retirement

in 2010.

“The form had to be filled out and those strict guidelines had to be adhered to,” Olin told the Journal-World.

“I don’t know that it had ever been questioned that I can remember.

“If we implement a protocol, you implement it and there is an expectation the part of supervision to understand policy changes implemented by the police department,” Olin added. “I cannot comment whether or not any single individual did or did not understand the policy, but I can tell you that it was my intention to make it absolutely mandatory to every member of the department.”

Current Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib — who took over at about the time the KU ticket scandal started to receive media attention in 2010 — said in a court deposition that his officers also were using the forms “more often than not.”

Khatib declined to be interviewed for this article.

Wheeler did not say how the forms came to leave the city’s possession, such as whether they were lost or whether the city had made a decision to discard them.

The Journal-World requested the forms because depositions and other documents related to the Monroe case included testimony from several members of the police force stating that voiding tickets for friends, family members or others was not an uncommon practice on the Lawrence force in previous years.

“I would agree to prior to the 2005 policy change, yes, officers had fixed tickets for friends and family,” Khatib said in a 2014 court deposition. “And I think I’ve said that that environment then was more relaxed.”

The Journal-World sought the void and dismissal forms in the time period following 2005 to review whether that practice of voiding tickets for family and friends had ceased.

Although those forms could not be provided, the city did provide more than 900 void and dismissal forms that were filed between 2012 and 2016.

For more on those forms, see our related article about the city’s ticket voiding policy.

The request was approved by Police Chief Tarik Khatib in an effort to “maintain a good working relationship” between the two organizations, said Stoddard in an email.

Khatib declined multiple times to be interviewed for this story or to answer any questions related to ticket voids, dismissals or the department’s policies. Stoddard said that void perhaps required additional “introspection.” l Several tickets were voided when the officer requesting a void approved his or her own request by signing as a supervisor. The department’s policy states that any officer requesting a void must get the approval of a supervisor.

When asked why officers were able to sign their own approvals, Heffley said in an email that “many of the forms signed only by one supervisor were parking citations. While the process wasn’t carried out exactly, the reasons for the requests were justified.”

“I don’t believe that is inappropriate,” he said in an email.

Since the issue was brought to light, Heffley said in an interview that the department has clarified expectations for the requests.

“We talked to supervisors and made sure they understood the expectation, and that clarified some things about supervisor approval,” he said. “Doesn’t just mean if you’re a supervisor you can sign off. You probably should have a second layer of eyes on it, somebody else to look at that.”

When initially asked about several concerns regarding the city’s ticket voiding practices, Stoddard said in an emailed statement that the city’s policy “reflects the City’s demand for transparent and ethical operations.”

“The review of the forms shows this policy is effective and working appropriately,” she added.

Stoddard did say some of the forms raised concerns, but ultimately the city found them to be in line with the city’s policy.

Stoddard said that for the city to answer that question, the Journal-World would need to pay a $100 fee.

“In order to answer this question that you pose, we estimate around 2 hours of staff time, or approximately $100 to fulfill the request,” Stoddard said in an email.

Review CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8A

Other examples in this category include officers forgetting to issue tickets, citing the wrong person or handing defendants the wrong version of a ticket. l Equipment malfunction accounted for 222 requests.

Technical difficulties with computers that are used to issue tickets may cause a citation to be inaccurate or incomplete, and therefore it would need to be voided, Heffley said. The computers are quite sensitive to temperature, and the issues may be exacerbated by colder temperatures. l A total of 156 tickets were referred to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

This often happens when officers issue citations, but upon further investigation learn a more serious crime has occurred and the matter needs to be referred to the district attorney to make a charging decision, Heffley said. District Court does not handle municipal tickets.

In those cases, the municipal ticket is canceled, and charges are filed through District Court. l Duplicate tickets accounted for 104 requests.

Once a ticket has been issued, officers may notice the person was already cited for the violation, Heffley said. This happens most often when officers don’t see a car was already issued a parking ticket until after they finish writing their own citation. l A total of 97 requests were submitted because officers noted the violations were corrected during the stop.

This may happen if a driver was cited for driving without insurance, but after a ticket was issued the driver located his or her proof of insurance, Heffley said.

The rest of the forms are broken down into a variety of other reasons, all of which, the city said, are acceptable under its current policy.

The policy, which is available online, offers seven examples of “just cause” where officers are allowed to void or request the dismissal of a citation. That list includes voiding citations when they are not legally or factually warranted, when they would compromise an ongoing investigation, when ticket completion is abandoned because of another service call.

The final circumstance is a single sentence listed in the policy that could include almost anything, except favoritism: “Other articulable rationale in the interest of good public service and not based on favoritism,” the policy says.

The city said 14 requests since 2012 were submitted in

the “interest of justice.”

“In the interest of justice relates to the department’s mission of providing good and fair public service to the community,” Stoddard said.

Other cities differ Other police departments, including Topeka’s and Olathe’s, allow only city prosecutors to cancel tickets. With the exception of a few instances — typically with regard to equipment malfunctions — officers are entirely prohibited from voiding tickets themselves.

Lawrence officials said they likely will have discussions about whether such a policy change would be appropriate for Lawrence. But city officials also said they thought the number of tickets voided or dismissed was relatively small. The city said in an emailed response to questions that since 2012 more than 100,000 tickets have been issued and called the 927 tickets that were voided or dismissed statistically “insignificant.”

“We don’t see how this is problematic. Perception may be one thing but the reality is completely something else,” the response said.

Other cities have dealt with questions about how tickets are voided or dismissed. A 2015 internal audit of the city of Henderson, Nev., exposed issues with the city’s ticket voiding policies, including that nearly 100 tickets were improperly voided by police officers there.

Since the results of Henderson’s internal audit were released, the city has changed its ticket voiding policies to ensure more checks and balances are in place.

Jason McIlrath, Topeka assistant city attorney, said city prosecutors are responsible for dismissing or amending down any tickets.

He said tickets are not voided. Instead, an agreed order is issued by the prosecutor’s office.

“I have not seen an instance where we just voided out a traffic ticket unless there is something incredibly incorrect,” McIlrath said.

For example, if an officer writes down the wrong Vehicle Identification Number, the prosecutor would still be responsible for dismissing the charge, he said.

“Other than that, there is not a circumstance where we would void out a ticket,” he said.

Sgt. Bryan P. Hill of the Olathe Police Department said police there can void tickets but only in certain circumstances such as defective equipment.

“It is not a common occurrence,” Hill said.

I don’t doubt that I probably encouraged some tickets to be voided.”

The 2005 policy was replaced in 2012 as the department was weathering a ticket scandal alongside KU. One sergeant — who ultimately lost his job — was accused of voiding six traffic tickets for a KU employee.

That August the department implemented a new policy requiring officers to fill out void forms and requiring those forms to be maintained by the city for at least seven years.

Sales tax options The city of Lawrence needs to consider its dedication of sales tax revenue for parks and recreation in the context of the city’s overall needs and priorities.

N

ow seems like a good time for city officials to at least have a conversation about how spending for parks and recreation fits in with the city’s overall needs and priorities.

Since voters approved a 1 percent countywide sales tax in 1994, the city has dedicated a large portion of the $10.5 million it receives from that tax each year to parks and recreation facilities and operations. Although voters in 1994 were told that parks and rec would be a primary use of that money, the actual ballot question didn’t restrict it for that use, which means it could be used for other “general governmental purposes.”

Although city staff members are recommending that the tax revenue continue to be dedicated to parks and rec, Commissioner Stuart Boley has pointed out that much has changed in Lawrence since the sales tax was approved and it may be time to take another look at how that revenue is spent. The city has made major improvements in its parks and recreation operation, but it has many other needs — street maintenance and the Lawrence Police Department come to mind. At this point, would it be better to divert some of that sales tax revenue to another important city need?

This topic is particularly timely because the city currently is reviewing its parks and recreation master plan. In a public meeting last week, residents offered a number of good ideas for additional programs and facilities. One participant even suggested the city should consider raising its transient guest tax and dedicating some of that money to parks and recreation. Based on the idea that recreation activities draw visitors to Lawrence, that might be a logical use of that tax. But if more of the transient guest is used for parks and recreation, perhaps more money from the countywide sales tax should be used to meet other city needs.

It’s great for the community to look to the future and set priorities for expanded recreation facilities, but it’s also important for city commissioners to see how the recreation wish list fits in with the city’s other spending needs. The city certainly needs to spend the money to maintain its current recreation facilities and programs, but it might be time to place a higher spending priority on other city services.

The sales tax question gave city commissioners that flexibility. Rather than simply maintain the status quo spending on recreation, they should at least consider their options.

Obama should unlock documents Washington — When President Obama departs for Saudi Arabia, an incubator of the 9/11 attacks, he will leave behind a dispute about government secrecy. The suppression of 28 pages, first from a public congressional inquiry and then from the 2004 report by the national 9/11 Commission, has spared the Saudis embarrassment, which would be mild punishment for complicity in 2,977 murders. When Obama returns, he should keep his promise to release the pages.

Then he should further curtail senseless secrecy by countermanding the CIA’s refusal to release its official history of the 1961 Bay of Pigs debacle.

The nature of the 28 pages pertaining to 9/11 can be inferred from this carefully worded sentence in the commission’s report: “We have found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded (al-Qaida)” (emphases added). Together, those five italicized words constitute a loophole large enough to fly a hijacked airliner through.

CBS’ “60 Minutes” recently reported that former Florida Sen. Bob Graham, a Democrat who chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and co-chaired the bipartisan joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 intelligence failures, says the pages suggest the existence of a network that supported the hijackers when they were in America. Former Democratic Rep. Tim Roemer, who was a member of the joint inquiry and then of the commission,

“

However, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan argued in his book on the subject, secrecy is government regulation, but unlike most regulations, which restrict what people can do, secrecy restricts what they can know.” and who has studied the 28 pages, says they contain (as “60 Minutes” expressed his judgment) “provocative evidence — some verified, and some not” of possible “official Saudi assistance for two of the hijackers who settled in Southern California.” “60 Minutes” said the two Saudi nationals had “extremely limited language skills and no experience with Western culture.” Yet “they managed to get everything they needed, from housing to flight lessons,” after being seen in the company of a diplomat from Saudi Arabia’s Los Angeles consulate.

Before John Lehman was a member of the 9/11 Commission — which unanimously supported release of its re-

port uncensored — he was a member of Henry Kissinger’s National Security Council staff during the Nixon administration and was secretary of the Navy during the Reagan administration. Lehman understands the serious and the spurious arguments connecting secrecy to security.

He says the 28 pages contain no “smoking gun,” but he believes that senior Saudi officials knew that Saudis were assisting al-Qaida. And he believes that because Saudi Arabia spends enormous sums worldwide funding schools that teach the virulent variant of Islam called Wahhabism, it is unsurprising that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.

Now, about the Bay of Pigs invasion of April 17, 1961, a feckless use of American power that radiated disasters: President Kennedy promptly deepened U.S. involvement in Vietnam; Nikita Khrushchev, unimpressed, built the Berlin Wall and installed missiles in Cuba. Why should the CIA history remain secret 55 years after the invasion?

A federal appeals court has ruled, 2-1, against a Freedom of Information Act request for the release of the history.

Citing a FOIA exemption that protects secrecy deemed essential to preserving government agencies’ deliberative processes, the court held that even after more than half a century the history is “still a draft” — never mind that its author retired in 1984 and died in 1997 — and hence is “still predecisional and deliberative.” So, documents can be kept forever secret by gov-

ernment agencies declaring them “drafts” or otherwise “deliberative.”

Nations need secrecy to protect deliberative processes and to conceal from adversaries the sources, methods and fruits of intelligence gathering. However, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan argued in his book on the subject, secrecy is government regulation, but unlike most regulations, which restrict what people can do, secrecy restricts what they can know. Secrets are property, and covetous, acquisitive government bureaucracies hoard them from rival bureaucracies, thereby making government even more foolish than it naturally tends to be because it has no competitors. For example, the U.S. military kept from President Harry Truman its proof, derived from what are known as the Venona intercepts of Soviet communications, that Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs were spies.

On “Fox News Sunday” April 10, Obama was asked if he could say that Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information on her private email server “did not jeopardize America’s secrets.” After waffling — saying Clinton would never “intentionally” jeopardize America — he intimated that many documents that are classified are not all that important to national security. He should apply this insight to documents pertaining to the disaster a decade and a half ago and to the debacle 40 years before it.

Conservatives seek to twist history This one’s for John. He’s a reader who took issue with my recent column arguing that conservatism has become an angry and incoherent mess.

John was particularly upset that I described conservatives as resistant to social change. Wrote John: “(sic) Tell that to the right side of the aisle who signed in the civil rights voting act in 1965. Which party resisted that? … Who resisted the proclamation that freed the slaves? Southern democrat party of course and who was it’s military arm during reconstruction? The KKK. Today that organization is tied into the liberalism more than conservatism. … Your party, the liberals who now call themselves progressives, are the party of Strom thurmond, Robert Byrd, Lester Maddox, George wallace — and … Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.”

Please note what John did there. He responded to a critique of social conservatism by mounting a defense of the Republican Party, as if the two were synonymous.

Granted, they are now, but in the eras John mentions?

Not so much.

Indeed, when Abraham Lincoln issued that proclamation John is so proud of, it was considered an act not

“

The reason John engages in this linguistic shell game, the reason he defends the party that wasn’t attacked instead of the ideology that was, is simple: The ideology is indefensible, at least where civil rights is concerned.”

of conservatism, but of radical extremism. And those Republicans who voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were moderates, i.e., the kind of people who have been driven out of a harshly conservative party that now considers moderation apostasy.

The truth, as any firstyear history student could tell you, is that Republicans were the more socially liberal party and Democrats the

more socially conservative for at least seven decades after Lincoln. But in the years since then, they have essentially swapped ideologies.

The reason John engages in this linguistic shell game, the reason he defends the party that wasn’t attacked instead of the ideology that was, is simple: The ideology is indefensible, at least where civil rights is concerned. You must be a liar, a fool or an ignoramus of Brobdingnagian proportions to suggest social conservatives have ever supported African-American interests.

They didn’t do it a century ago when “conservative” meant Democrats. They don’t do it now.

Sadly for John, pretending otherwise requires him to twist logic like a birthday party clown making balloon animals. How addlepated must you be to see common ground between the segregationist Lester Maddox and civil-rights activist Al Sharpton? How cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs are you when you consider the Ku Klux Klan and Strom Thurmond “liberal”?

And yes, you may think this a lot of energy to lavish on one man. But it isn’t one man. I hear John’s “reasoning” literally a hundred times a year from conserva-

tive readers. Indeed, a few weeks ago on CNN, a Donald Trump apologist pimpslapped reality by branding the Klan a “leftist” group. So John is hardly the only one.

These people must lie about history in order to exonerate conscience. Yet the truth is what the truth is. John need not take my word for what conservative means. Merriam-Webster backs me up. He need not even take my word for the history. A hundred history books back me up.

But honest, grown-up Republicans, assuming there are any left, may want to take my word for this: They cannot achieve their stated goal of a more-welcoming and inclusive party while clinging to an ideology whose entire raison d’etre is exclusion. You see, social conservatism only works for those who have something to lose, those who have an investment in status quo.

I’m reminded of an anecdote about a Howard University professor who visited the Soviet Union in the 1930s. He explained to his hosts that some “Negroes” were politically conservative. They were astonished.

“Why?” asked one. “What do they have to conserve?”

Gut Bacteria Essential for Normal Immune System Function Although some bacteria can be deadly, most of them are actually good for our health.

“The vast majority of our interactions with bacteria are symbiotic in nature, consisting of colonization by a complex and diverse microbiota that inhabit humans for life,” wrote Sakis K. Mazmanian, PhD, and his colleagues in the journal Cell Host & Microbe. “Rather than causing inflammation, commensal microbes largely direct beneficial immune functions and often engender health.”

In a series of experiments with laboratory mice, Mazmanian showed just how crucial normal gut bacteria are for revving up the immune system to fight infections.

In one of the experiments, Mazmanian compared mice born without gut bacteria to mice that had normal gut bacteria. The animals missing gut bacteria had fewer innate immune cells—the types of white blood cells that immediately go into action to fight infections.

Next, Mazmanian exposed the mice to Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly type of bacteria. The

normal mice survived, but those lacking gut bacteria died.

Finally, the researchers gave antibiotics to the healthy mice, while at the same time injecting them with L. monocytogenes. Antibiotics destroy both good and pathogenic species of bacteria. The antibiotics reduced the ability of the mice to fight the infection.

Inflammation Increases Vitamin B6 Needs The use of vitamin B6 and other B vitamins in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases goes back to at least the 1980s. In a study at the University of Bergen, Norway, researchers analyzed levels of pyridoxal5-phosphate (PLP) and various inflammatory markers in 3,088 subjects. They found that chronic inflammation led to an increase in the body’s breakdown of vitamin B6. The vitamin plays roles in more than 100 enzymatic reactions, including the formation of neurotransmitters.

Officials from many of the world’s top oil-producing nations gather in Doha, Qatar, this weekend with the goal of trying to cobble together an agreement to limit output in a bid to boost or at least hold the line on depressed prices.

But given the continuing glut of oil, many observers say that even if a production freeze agreement is reached, prices are likely to remain stable at least into summer.

At 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, an explosion destroyed Reactor No. 4 at Chernobyl’s Vladimir Illyich Lenin Nuclear Power Station in the former Soviet Union.

Thirty years later, 5 million people still live on heavily contaminated lands in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and hundreds of thousands of people are sick or suffering in different ways. The true impact from Chernobyl may not be known for decades to come, many scientists and nuclear experts say.

The blast immediately killed one person. A second died in the hospital after succumbing to injuries. While the reactor burned for two weeks, discharging the largest-ever uncontrolled amount of radioactive material into the environment, the radiation that

spewed from the plant reached 42% of Europe’s territory and prompted the deployment of an army of 800,000 emergency workers. Chernobyl, an area the size of Rhode Island, will not be radiation-free, if ever, for at least 24,000 years.

It took then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev 18 days to appear on television to admit the scale of the disaster and another three years to lift a ban on releasing public health data. To this day, cancer and death toll estimates are in a shockingly wide range: From 4,000 to as high as 1 million. Meanwhile, the two countries affected the most — Belarus and Ukraine — are preoccupied with fighting other battles: sanctions, separatists, corruption, poverty, indifference.

USA TODAY traveled to this still-scarred area to share some of the stories of those living in the shadow of the world’s worst nuclear disaster.

Nobody said a word as the auctioneer took his place at the lectern, but the tension was deafening. Nearly 100 protesters had packed the room at Utah’s Salt Palace Convention Center, mad as hell that the federal government was about to sell oil and gas leases for as many as 45,000 public acres.

“OK, let’s start the sale, ladies and gentlemen ... who will give me an opening bid of $2 to start?

Two-dollar bid?”

The protesters hadn’t planned to disrupt the auction. But once the bidding got underway, they couldn’t help themselves. They started chanting: “People gonna rise like the water, gonna calm this crisis down. I hear the voice of my great-granddaughter, saying, ‘Keep it in the ground!’ ” Eventually, a federal official asked Salt Lake City police to remove the activists from the room.

As officers escorted them out, one of the protesters, Tim Ream, shouted at the bidders, “Show this to your grandkids! Show it to them and explain what’s happening with the climate!”

‘Buried alive’: Japan rushes to aid quake victims as storm looms Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO Continuing aftershocks and the threat of heavy rain and wind added urgency to rescue efforts Saturday as authorities raced to help victims of two powerful earthquakes that struck southwestern Japan a little more than 24 hours apart.

At least 41 people were killed and about 1,500 injured in the quakes that struck Kumamoto Prefecture late Thursday and early Saturday. Many victims were feared trapped in collapsed homes and buildings, particularly

in towns and villages cut off by downed bridges or landslides.

The national government dispatched 20,000 troops — many trained especially for disaster relief operations — to join thousands of local police, firefighters and rescue workers.

An approaching storm system was expected to arrive in the area late Saturday, prompting the government to rush additional rescue workers to the area, along with thousands of waterproof tarps to protect victims and workers. Authorities feared heavy rain could trigger additional landslides in the mountainous region.

“Daytime today is the big test”

for rescuers, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at the outset of an emergency meeting in Tokyo on Saturday. Abe said he had planned to travel to the stricken area Saturday but canceled the trip so as not to impede rescue operations on the ground.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press conference Saturday that workers are aware of multiple locations where victims “have been buried alive.”

He said about 70,000 people had sought shelter in emergency centers. Police received 97 reports of people trapped or buried under collapsed buildings, while 10 were caught in landslides.

Pope brings Muslim refugees to Rome Practices what he preaches to ‘build bridges’ rather than walls amid strife Greg Maravas and Nikolia Apostolou Special for USA TODAY LESBOS , GREECE

In an emotional visit to a fenced-in refugee center on this Greek island, Pope Francis told hundreds of displaced families Saturday that “you are not alone” — and underscored his message by taking three families of Syrian Muslim refugees back to Rome with him.

The 12 refugees, including six children, joined the pope on his plane after a five-hour visit to the Moria detention center. The pope also asked European leaders to do more to help the thousands of refugees stuck in camps.

“Refugees are not numbers; they are people who have faces, names, stories and need to be treated as such,” Francis tweeted at one point on Saturday.

Two of the families are from Damascus, and one is from an

area of Syria now occupied by the Islamic State, according to a statement by the Vatican press office.

Asked why all the families were Muslims, the pope told reporters on his return flight to Rome that the choice was not between Christians and Muslims and that those who were selected all had their papers in order. The Vatican said the details were worked out in an agreement between the Greek and Italian authorities.

“I have always said that building walls is not a solution. We saw walls during the last century, and they did not resolve anything. We must build bridges. Bridges are built with intelligence, with dialogue, with integration,” he said, according to an official Vatican transcript.

Asked whether Europe can open its arms to all the misery in the world, the pope noted the impact of war and hunger — and how the factions fighting in Syria

Pope Francis welcomes a group of Syrian refugees after landing at Ciampino airport in Rome on Saturday. have been armed by others. “I would invite the producers of arms to spend a day in the camp (in Lesbos),” he said. “I believe that would be good.”

The 12 refugees will be cared for in Rome by the Community of Sant’Egidio, a Catholic lay organi-

zation dedicated to charity, the Vatican said. The Vatican is already hosting two refugee families in Rome.

Nour Essa, 30, a PalestinianSyrian scientist, is one of the 12 who returned to Rome with the pope. She will be relocated along

with her 3-year-old son and husband. The family fled because her husband was being pressured to join the Syrian army.

“We heard of the EU-Turkey deal which would be implemented on March 20 and decided despite the bad weather to get on one of the boats to Lesbos,” she said. “We were very lucky: Friends of ours that were living with us in Turkey that came the next day were not given papers and are still in jail in Moria camp.”

The pope’s gesture came as the European Union implements a controversial plan to deport refugees from Greece back to Turkey.

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The protesters had a simple demand for President Obama: Stop making public lands and water available for oil and natural gas drilling. It’s a message that’s taking hold across the country. In recent months, “keep it in the ground” activists have protested federal auctions in Denver, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Reno and elsewhere. They’ve got supporters in Congress, including a presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Any serious plan to deal with climate change, these activists say, requires the United States to start limiting the extraction of fossil fuels — immediately. They point to studies showing that if the world doesn’t keep between two-thirds and four-fifths of its coal, oil and gas in the ground, global warming will almost certainly exceed 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial times, the target adopted by 195 nations in Paris last year.

Scientists once believed that 2 degrees of warming would be relatively safe, but recent studies have found that even less warming could be catastrophic for people, animals and the natural systems that underpin human civilization. The world already has warmed by 1 degree, a change that is causing oceans to rise and extreme weather events to become more frequent and more intense. Climate change also is threatening water supplies and crop production, and causing infectious diseases to spread.

“Nobody is saying we want to stop burning fossil fuels today, or that we have the ability to stop burning fossil fuels today,” said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. “What we’re saying is that the challenge of climate change is a severe one.

The need to act has never been more urgent.”

Critics of “keep it in the ground” say cutting back on drilling could cause energy prices to spike and would do nothing to limit demand for fossil fuels, which still generate two-thirds of the country’s electricity. They believe policymakers should limit their focus to reducing demand for coal, oil and gas, either by taxing carbon or by providing incentives for clean energy. “Keep it in the ground” supporters favor those steps, but say they aren’t enough.

“If you don’t address the demand side, the supply side won’t come,” said economist Frank Wolak, director of Stanford University’s Program on Energy and Sustainable Development. “Everything we use, you name it, it has fossil fuels in it. That’s the absurdity of this (‘keep it in the ground’) argument.”

Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., disagrees. He introduced the Keep It in the Ground Act, which would end new fossil fuel leases on public lands and offshore, in

the House of Representatives earlier this year. Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders co-sponsored a similar bill from Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. Huffman said the United States already has more than enough oil and gas at its disposal to keep the lights on as the country transitions to clean energy.

“There’s simply no reason to continue to let these extractive industries call the shots on public resources,” Huffman said. “These fossil fuel deposits are under our federal lands and off our shores —

they belong to the American people. They don’t belong to Exxon or Shell.”

Other critics point out that abandoning fossil fuels would lead to job losses in the coal, oil and gas sectors. Still, scientists and economists generally agree that the long-term benefits of fighting climate change far outweigh the short-term costs. And several studies have found that transitioning to clean energy wouldn’t be prohibitively expensive for the economy as a whole — possibly costing as little as $36 per household, per month, according to researchers at Energy and Environmental Economics, a San Francisco consultant that studied the issue for the United Nations.

“There’s a cost to doing nothing that we have to understand,” said former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican who ran the Environmental Protection Agency for two years under President George W. Bush. “All the scientific journals

and studies are telling us that there’s a huge potential problem coming at us pretty fast, and in fact it’s something that is going to cost a lot of money.”

Researchers at the Carbon Tracker Initiative calculated in 2011 that to maintain an 80% chance of keeping global warming to 2 degrees, the world could emit just 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated a larger “carbon budget” of 1,000 gigatons in 2013, although that would give us just a twothirds chance of staying under 2 degrees. Earth’s proven fossil fuel reserves, meanwhile, contain at least 2,795 gigatons of carbon dioxide, according to the Carbon Tracker Initiative — hence the need to leave most of those fuels in the ground, activists say.

The situation is dire, said Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University’s Earth Institute and an adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Companies can’t be allowed to burn most of the fossil fuels in their arsenals, let alone go looking for new reserves in places like the Arctic, he said.

“If you measure all of the carbon dioxide that would be released if we burned all the coal, oil and gas in our reserves, we’d blow our carbon budget many, many times over,” Sachs said.

The United States could burn through a big chunk of the world’s carbon budget on its own.

A report commissioned by two environmental groups — the Center for Biological Diversity and

Friends of the Earth — found last year that unleased federal fossil fuels contain up to 450 gigatons of carbon pollution.

Through a spokesperson, Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze declined to be interviewed for this story. In an emailed statement, he defended the Obama administration’s record on climate change, pointing to the president’s goal of approving 20,000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity on public land by 2020. Federal officials have approved 35 solar farms, 11 wind farms and 12 geothermal facilities, although it’s not clear all of those projects will be built.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Land Management is still issuing onshore oil and gas leases, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is moving forward with plans to lease offshore areas in the Arctic and the Gulf of Mexico.

Obama temporarily halted new coal leases in January, so that federal officials can review the climate impacts of the coal leasing program. But the program’s fate will be decided by the next president.

If Americans elect Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, international efforts to curb climate change could unravel. Cruz has written bills designed to boost oil and gas production. Trump has criticized Obama’s carbon regulations. Hillary Clinton has pledged to limit oil and gas production, although she has a long history of supporting fossil fuels and fracking. Only Sanders has consistently opposed fossil fuel development.

U.S. rigs are sidelined, yet gas will remain cheap v CONTINUED FROM 1B

oil prices plummeting, an apparent move by low-cost producers such as those in the Middle East to drive out some of the highercost producers, those in the U.S. and Canada, in a bid to boost prices.

The strategy appears to be working, Hirs says. Some 1,200

rigs are sidelined in the U.S. with hundreds of thousands of workers idled.

Indeed, the International Energy Agency said in its monthly oil report Thursday that global oil supplies shrank 300,000 barrels a day in March. Both OPEC and non-OPEC producers are pumping less crude. On the OPEC side, increases by Iran and

Angola were offset by decreases in Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq.

Even if oil ministers in Doha agree to a freeze on current production levels, “a freeze means we are going to produce at maximum levels,” says Tom Kloza, global energy analyst for the Oil Price Information Service. Just trying to get an agreement be-

tween Saudi Arabia and Iran, major producers who are both struggling for more power in the Middle East, is a daunting prospect.

For U.S. consumers, cheap gasoline should continue into the summer. Kloza says prices are likely to be 25 cents to 50 cents a gallon cheaper than a year ago during the same peak

driving season.

Both Kloza and Hirs, however, believe that oil prices could start to increase by the end of the year.

“The prospect for rebalancing oil markets, where demand equals supply — that will happen in the second half of the year,” Kloza says. Until then, “there’s a helluva glut that needs to be worked off.”

NEW CLOUT

Although Virgin Islands residents cannot vote in a presidential election, local Republican Party officials this year could have significant pull in picking the GOP nominee. Canegata and two other party officials from the islands automatically go to the convention as delegates unbound to any candidate. Six others, who also are uncommitted, were selected by the roughly 300 Republicans who participated in the territory’s March 10 caucuses.

To the surprise of many locals, the top vote-getter was John Yob, a Michigan political strategist who relocated to the islands last year. Yob’s wife, Erica, and a third newcomer who also has ties to Yob also secured slots. Yob’s father, Chuck, is a supporter of Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Canegata won’t recognize the slate chosen on March 10, citing a party rule requiring delegates accept their positions in writing. Instead, he has picked the six alternates.

Ahead of the New York primary on Tuesday and a series of contests in the Northeast a week later, which figure to be more favorable ground, Kasich delivered pointed remarks earlier this week at the party’s front-runner, though without using his name.

"A political strategy based on exploiting Americas instead of lifting them up inevitably leads to division, paranoia," he said Tuesday in New York City in a critique of “disturbing” policies that seemed clearly aimed at Trump.

committee.

VIGOP’s treasurer, Virginiabased Scott Mackenzie, works for several political action committees that previously have drawn scrutiny for their fundraising practices. Last year, former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli won a settlement from a Mackenzie-affiliated PAC after Cuccinelli filed a federal lawsuit, charging that the group used his campaign to operate a “national fundraising scam.” Another PAC connected to MacKenzie, Patriots for Trump, shut down this year after the billionaire disavowed it.

More than $900,000 of the money VIGOP had spent through the end of February went to a direct-mail company called Forth Right and several firms that share its address in downtown Washington. Forth Right was formerly known as Base Connect, a firm for which MacKenzie has worked as a campaign-finance consultant, according to federal election regulators.

In an interview, Mackenzie defended the Virgin Islands committee’s heavy spending on direct-mail firms and other vendors. “You’ve got to build a donor base in order to spend in politics,” he said.

Canegata, first elected party chairman in 2012, said he authorized the committee to give the Virgin Islands a bigger voice in federal politics. The money, he said, is being used to build “good bridges with good candidates at the national level.”

In an interview with Mic, a media group that targets Millennials, Biden said during an answer about Sanders’ recent comments suggesting Clinton wasn’t qualified: “This country’s ready for a woman, there’s no problem, we’re going to be able to elect a woman in this country … I would like to see a woman elected.”

After an aide tried to cut the interview short, the vice president clarified that his remark wasn’t an endorsement.

“The president and I are not going to endorse because we both when we ran said, ‘Let the party decide.’ But gosh almighty, they’re both qualified. Hillary’s overwhelmingly qualified to be president.”

BERNIE SANDERS RELEASES 2014 TAX RETURNS

Sen. Bernie Sanders and his wife, following pressure from Democratic presidential campaign rival Hillary Clinton, released their full 2014 federal tax return on Friday, showing a combined income of more than $205,000.

Sanders released summaries of the couple’s 2014 federal and state returns in June. Friday’s release included the federal return’s attached schedules and offered more background on the couple’s finances, including charitable gifts of $8,350. Sanders pledged during Thursday’s heated debate with Clinton to release earlier returns at a later date.

Sanders and his wife, Jane, paid $27,653 in federal income taxes and $7,903 in Vermont income taxes in 2014. Their income is largely derived from Sanders’ Senate salary of $174,000 and Social Security benefits.

The quake was felt in Quito, the South American country’s capital, more than 100 miles away, the Associated Press reported.

The quake’s epicenter was 17 miles south-southwest of Muisne, a fishing village.

In Quito, the quake caused buildings to sway for about 40 seconds. Some people ran into the streets out of fear.

A tsunami threat was issued for the coasts of Ecuador, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama and Peru, AP reported.

CHERNOBYL DISASTER 30 YEARS LATER

Dodging food from my radiation-zone host Scientists told me to avoid eating there — especially if invited by a babushka Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

KUPOVATOE ,

UKRAINE Ganay Zavorotnya, a Ukrainian babushka, lives on a muddy plot of land here that she shares with her sisters, Sonya and Marysya.

“I don’t like visitors who don’t accept my proposal to sit and eat in my house,” Zavorotnya, 84, said as I entered her three-room farmhouse in Kupovatoe, a village inside Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone. Then she planted a strong kiss on my right cheek.

I brought this grandmother some supplies as a gift — a bag of rice, cooking oil, sugar, a loaf of bread and a tin of condensed milk. The kiss was a greeting and a “thank you.”

Her sisters sat snugly on a sofa in the corner, looking like wooden matryoshka, or Russian nesting dolls.

All three are self-settlers, older residents who returned to their evacuated villages inside the zone despite warnings from Ukraine’s government not to do so.

They endure isolation, eerie silence and contaminated land so they can die in a place familiar to them. About 180 self-settlers in

the zone are left, most of them women. They are dispersed across a 1,000-square-mile area of villages that continue to display scraps from the pastoral life that once dominated this area: farm tools, gardens, animal pens.

The sisters’ neighbors include a half-dozen shabby outbuildings, five cats whom Zavorotnya feeds but hasn’t named, and lands still contaminated by radiation.

When the accident happened, Zavorotnya and her husband — he died six years ago — were told to leave. Their son died at age 2 from appendicitis before Chernobyl happened.

“We were busy planting potatoes, and the head of the village council said to us: ‘Get ready, you will be evacuated for three days.’

He said to take some essentials. I thought we might spend the night in the forest, so I took some potatoes and two pillows,” she said.

Nine months later, they were back.

“I said to the authorities: ‘You can shoot us, but we’re staying here.’ Sometimes when I am asked how I got back, I say by helicopter,” she said laughing.

Zavorotnya said she has no health problems from radiation.

Her daughter and grandchildren live near Kiev. They are not fre-

The government agency that administers the zone has accepted that babushkas like Zavorotnya and her sisters will get their way in the end. It makes sure that doctors visit regularly and that they have adequate supplies.

Once a year, on Easter Sunday, they are taken by bus to the city of Ivankiv, 33 miles away, so they

can go to church.

There was no avoiding Zavorotnya’s hospitality.

Shortly after the kiss, she shuffled to the kitchen and brought back some big pickles, a few halfeaten slices of cake and a large slab of white lard with black and pinkish streaks. Pig, probably. She started slicing it.

Before visiting the zone, I

asked many scientists about what precautions to take. All agreed on one point: Don’t consume anything produced there, especially if it’s offered by a babushka. They grow vegetables and pick mushrooms from soil that still contains radioactive dust. If ingested, this can be particularly dangerous.

“Chickens. Ganay, earlier you said you kept some chickens. Can you show me them?” I said.

It worked. We were outside and she immediately became distracted when I asked how she kept busy when there was no one else around apart from her sisters.

“Follow me,” she said and led the way to a small stump and an ax next to a pile of logs. She picked up the ax and started swinging.

“Before the accident,” she said, while chopping wood she uses to heat her house, “the nature here was so abundant and rich that people would come from far away to get potatoes.”

Thump. Thump. Thump.

“I see a lot of deer around now, but what can I do with those? I am not a hunter,” she said. “For people like me, the Zone is a motherland that can’t be replaced.”

Thump. Thump.

“It has been a good year for apples.”

Thump.

“And now, let’s go eat,” she said.

THE ‘LIQUIDATOR’

HE CLEANED UP AFTER CHERNOBYL — AND IS STILL PAYING THE PRICE Kim Hjelmgaard l USA TODAY

S

KIEV, UKRAINE

ergey Krasilnikov, 65, was one of about 800,000 soldiers, firefighters, engineers, miners, farmers and volunteers tasked with helping to clean up after the Chernobyl accident. They were known as “liquidators.” Most were between ages 18 and 22 and came from the three worst-affected countries: Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, all then part of the Soviet Union. They were exposed to intense radiation levels, and 20% of them died by 2005 while in their 30s and 40s, according to the Chernobyl Foundation, which raises funds for Chernobyl recovery projects. It is not known how many are still alive, but more than 90% of the liquidators had radiation-induced health problems, such as thyroid cancer, heart disease and respiratory and digestive problems.

Krasilnikov had a stroke in 1994, leaving him paralyzed on the left side and needing a wheelchair. He lives in a cramped, two-room apartment on the fifth floor of a building with no elevator or lights in the hallway on the outskirts of Kiev, with his wife, Nataliya, and two cats, Zeus and Julia Volodymyoiune.

On the walls are two dozen framed medals and photographs of Krasilnikov with dignitaries. A few years ago, he went on a hunger strike for 53 days to protest what he says is a lack of support from the government for people like him. He runs a group that raises money for invalid liquidators in his local area. It has 1,586 members.

HERE ARE HIS WORDS, EDITED AND CONDENSED FOR CLARITY:

Before Chernobyl, liquidation meant to break something, to eliminate, to destroy. After the accident, the word took on a new meaning. A liquidator became a person who rescued people and living things. A person who creates. We were proud of this and put our souls into the work.

But now it’s clear to me that we belonged to a generation that was thrown away. We all had great zeal to do something to overcome this disaster. Nobody realized the effects of radiation because it has no smell. It is invisible. People did not have any protection.

Over time, we went from being heroes to outcasts. We never thought that giving up our own health and protecting the Ukrainian people would lead to us becoming irrelevant.

My job was to help organize the evacuation of Pripyat. It started on the day after the disaster at 2 p.m. The buses were coming from all over Ukraine, and I had to tell them where to go. There were about 1,200 to 1,500 buses, plus the same number of trucks and military vehicles. When I arrived in Pripyat, a few select units of the military were dressed in

special protective suits and had respirators. Local people were just in their ordinary clothes. I remember it was a very hot day.

“Shut off your water and gas.

Please close the windows. This is a temporary evacuation.” This was announced at one-minute intervals over a loudspeaker.

People were in a panic, and most of them were women and children. I think people realized they were never going to come back home again so they tried to take as many things as they could carry — toys and bedsheets and everything imaginable — but a lot of it was confiscated at the checkpoints. They were evacuated to nearby cities and towns.

We had portable radios, so we knew what was happening. Everyone was communicating on open channels. Helicopters were circling the area. There were rumors the explosion had caused evacuations within a radius of 310 miles. I thought to myself: Kiev is only 43½ miles away. It felt like a funeral. Women were crying and hugging their children.

I returned to Pripyat about a year after the catastrophe to help build a wire fence around the city.

Dose hundreds of thousands residents were exposed to

KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

It was a completely different atmosphere. The authorities were fussy, but it was calmer. The fence has since been dismantled.

Later, I was asked to help with the reconstruction of the power plant at Chernobyl. I worked as a foreman. Then in 1994, I got sick.

After my medical assessment they said my stroke and paralysis were a direct result of my work as a liquidator. “The loss of health is 100%,” the doctor said.

Yet it still took a long time before I got any disability assistance from the government, and we lived hand-to-mouth and had to sell a lot things. And do you know what they gave me for all this health damage in the end?

Enough to buy about 700 grams of butter (about 1½ pounds).

That’s how the state appraised the damage to my health from Chernobyl. They gave me a pension eventually. I now get about 5,000 Ukrainian hryvnia ($200) a month. I pay 3,500 (about $136) each month for treatment.

Had I known with what indifference and scorn the state would treat me now, I may not have agreed to be a liquidator. Nevertheless, I had family in Kiev. I wasn’t saving state bureaucrats, I was protecting the people of Ukraine. In this way, I built the church in miniature.

The visionary lays out cards for all of his competitors to see Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Curmudgeonly reporters rarely agree on most things — unless, of course, it involves skepticism or a rags-toriches-to-rags story.

But a funny thing happened after Mark Zuckerberg offered a crisp, 30-minute treatise on Facebook’s master plan at the company’s F8 developer conference Tuesday. There was agreement among the press that the 31-yearold co-founder is at the top of his game, and so is his company.

Displaying the confidence of a leader who knows where his company and the future is headed, Zuckerberg delivered a vision that illustrates why Facebook has 1.6 billion users and a hurricanestrength wind at its back. Breaking tradition from most tech companies, which favor annual overviews, Zuckerberg laid out an unprecedented 10-year plan.

Facebook is proposing to connect the half of the planet’s 7 billion people who don’t have Internet access and is deepening the connections with those who do, through an arsenal of virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, drones, bots, live video and its Messenger platform. Zuckerberg, the visionary (yes, he merits that description) behind it all, has fit the pieces together in a digital mosaic that should have the undivided attention of Google, Apple, Amazon and others.

“Amazing,” said Johnny Li, general manager of international business development at Cheetah Mobile, a mobile-app developer that attended F8. “From my perspective, it really made their own social ecosystem much more long-term” and, compared with

CHRISTOPHER SCHODT FOR USA TODAY

Any doubts about the business acumen and leadership credentials of Mark Zuckerberg were dispelled at F8 last week.

Google, “much more close to reality.”

“It was a nicely threaded speech of specific products for a grand plan,” added Christian Brucculeri, CEO of Snaps, which makes chat bots and emoji keyboards for three computing platforms: Facebook, Apple and Google.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Secretive Apple keeps the dates of its product launches — in March and September — closely guarded and remains tight-lipped about its devices until they are unfurled onstage. (No time frame on the long-rumored Apple Car, for instance.)

If facing a last-minute deadline is the only way you can do your taxes, you might not mind that tax season is longer than usual.

jects such as driverless cars, Project Fi and Google Glass as part of a corporate narrative to fire up developers and intrigue consumers — even if some of those projects are radically scaled back.

Microsoft last year offered a taste of the future with a surprise demo of HoloLens, its holographic headgear. But, like many traditional tech giants, it provides a 12- to 18-month blueprint of its product playbook.

Chipmakers Intel and Nvidia provide five- to 10-year product road maps to offer supply chains guidance and to pique interest among customers and business partners. But those projections usually involve bumps in chip speed and capacity.

Of course, companies are loath to make long-term plans public for fear the fast-moving tech market will change dramatically or products won’t pan out. Hello, Google Glass.

Risk is inherent, especially when you consider the business climate in 2026, when Zuckerberg’s long-range vision culminates, will be after two more presidential elections. Indeed, Facebook showed a pair of VR glasses that some immediately dubbed Facebook Glass.

The specificity with which Zuckerberg outlined his plan, however, could make it a difference maker among tech giants and give it a competitive edge in emerging markets, analysts say.

“Facebook showed it has the research capability in its Day 2 keynote (from chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer),” said Brian Blau, an analyst at market researcher Gartner.

Facebook’s bold plan, to connect every person on the planet, underscores an evolving philosophy that includes an acquisition spree (Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus), operations that make money (overseen by Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg) and a mastermind who deeply understands Facebook’s culture and DNA (Zuckerberg).

Ex-Googler Regina Dugan, who worked on “moonshot” projects there, is overseeing the group on research and product development, called Building 8 (for eight letters in “Facebook”).

The possibilities are downright tantalizing. Joaquin Quinonero Candela, director of Facebook’s Applied Machine Learning, described to USA TODAY a forthcoming application in which the blind get audio descriptions as they scan their fingers across photos and videos on their Facebook account.

Zuckerberg’s soaring confidence — he wrote the polished speech and presented it flawlessly — was not only commanding but tinged with political undertones about inclusion and tolerance of cultures. In short, Zuckerberg has become the face and voice of the tech community. For the foreseeable, and distant, future.

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A CROOK BEAT YOU TO IT?

I’ve heard from a few taxpayers this year who tried to prepare their own returns online but were rejected on the spot. It’s possible that you might have a typo in the Social Security number that you entered online. Double check that information.

If that doesn’t do the trick, be warned that an ID theft-ring

could have used a Social Security number for you or a family member to file a 2015 tax return earlier this season.

If you’re a victim of ID theft during tax season, there are several steps to take in order to file your return now. You’d need to file a paper return and submit an IRS “Identity Theft Affidavit” or Form 14039.

BEWARE OF CON ARTISTS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CRUNCH TIME DURING TAX SEASON.

information over the phone.

Yeah, right. No, these guys don’t need to verify a few details — like oh, say, your Social Security number or bank account number — before the tax return can be processed. And do not respond to emails claiming to be from the “Taxpayer Advocacy Panel,” a volunteer board that advises the IRS on issues affecting taxpayers. Another scam.

The IRS does send something in the regular mail called a “Letter 5071C” to verify information.

The standard deduction for a single tax filer or those married filing separately is $6,300 on the 2015 return. Married couples filing jointly can claim $12,600 as a standard deduction. The standard deduction goes up from there for taxpayers who are age 65 or older, blind or both.

Only one in three taxpayers itemize, but millions more should, according to H&R Block’s tax experts.

Paying a mortgage on a home often triggers a reason to itemize.

But you might consider itemizing if you have charitable donations, medical expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (or 7.5% of AGI if the taxpayer or spouse is 65 or older), personal property taxes, real estate taxes, state income taxes, and other deductions.

If a single taxpayer is able to claim $9,600 in deductions, that’s $3,300 more than the standard deduction. If the tax filer has a

marginal tax rate of 25%, the taxpayer would save up to $825 by itemizing in this case, according to H&R Block.

NEVER RUSH WHEN IT COMES TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

Many taxpayers can simply check a box on their return to report they had health coverage for an entire year. See Line 61 of the 1040 return. But things can get tricky if you’re obtaining health insurance in the marketplace.

If you don’t have full-year coverage for the entire household, you either pay a penalty at tax time or need to qualify for an exemption.

File-and-suspend Social Security loophole closing

T

he clock is ticking for older Americans who want to jump through the file-andsuspend loophole to maximize their household’s lifetime Social Security benefits. Yes, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, which President Obama signed into law last November, closed the complex loophole that was used primarily by married couples. So, what do you need to know about what’s happening to the voluntary suspension of benefits-claiming strategy — aka, file and suspend — and what might you need to do, or not do?

Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

MARK APRIL 29, 2016, ON YOUR CALENDAR

That’s the last day those who qualify can take advantage of file and suspend. Under that loophole, a worker at full retirement age (FRA), currently 66 and older, could apply for retirement benefits and then voluntarily suspend payments to let them grow over time. In the meantime, their spouse could start collecting spousal benefit payments.

“File and suspend is done to entitle a spouse to spousal benefits while the worker’s own retirement benefit builds 8% annual delayed credits,” says Elaine Floyd, director of retirement and life planning at Horsesmouth.

THE NEW LAW

Under the new law, the Social Security Administration (SSA) says you can still voluntarily suspend benefit payments at your FRA (currently 66) and earn higher benefits for delaying. But during your voluntary suspension, other benefits payable on your record, such as spousal benefits, are also

3

suspended. What’s more, if you’ve suspended your benefits, you cannot continue receiving other benefits (such as spousal benefits) on another person’s record.

“Under the new law, spousal benefits will not be paid if the worker spouse suspended his benefit after April 29,” Floyd says. That means if a spouse (say a wife) will be claiming a spousal benefit sometime over the next four years, and her husband will be 66 by April 29, then the husband should file and suspend by April 29. “This strategy can result in tens of thousands of dollars in additional benefits to those who are able to take advantage of it.”

There are, of course, some exceptions. For instance, if you are a divorced spouse, the SSA says you can continue receiving a divorced spousal benefit even if your ex-spouse voluntarily suspends his or her retirement benefit.

WHO WILL BE AFFECTED?

The new law applies to those who request a suspension on or after April 30, 2016, which is 180 days after the new law was enacted.

OTHER NOTEWORTHY ITEMS

uThe SSA will, in some situations, honor some requests received before April 30 that the government agency was un-

able to process until after April 30. uIf you voluntarily suspended benefits prior to April 30 the SSA says you may remain in voluntary suspense status; the new law will not affect you. uIf you submit your request before April 30 and your spouse or children become entitled to benefits either before or after that date, they will not be affected by the new rules and will continue to receive payments.

HOPING TO BEAT THE CLOCK?

“Lots of people over 66 are trying to file and suspend now, but can’t get a claims interview until after the deadline,” says Andy Landis, author of Social Security: The Inside Story.

To get in under the wire, Landis recommends you apply online at www.ssa.gov, complete an online application and type under the “Remarks” tab, “Please suspend my benefits.” “That will get you suspended under the better ‘old’ rules,” he says.

Landis also says there’s no rush, for most people, to file the spousal-only claim. “You’re eligible for that based on your birth date and age 66, not your application date,” he says. “The exception is if you want spousal-only benefits and you’re 66½ or older.

Then you should file ASAP to avoid losing a month’s payment.”

“File and suspend is done to entitle a spouse to spousal benefits while the worker’s own retirement benefit builds 8% annual delayed credits.”

Elaine Floyd, director of retirement and life planning at Horsesmouth

DOING NOTHING MAY BE YOUR BEST OPTION

For his part, Kurt Czarnowski, a principal with Czarnowski Consulting, echoes the notion that “file and suspend” is not going away completely after April 29; that anyone at FRA will still be able to do just that, if he/she chooses.

“However, with the elimination of someone’s ability to receive a lump repayment of any benefits that had previously been suspended, there may actually be a disincentive to file and suspend,” he says.

So, for example, say you intend to wait until age 70 before starting to collect retirement benefits, but at age 68 something unforeseen happens, and you have an immediate need for money. “Under the new rules, if you have previously filed and suspended, SSA will resume your benefits effective with the month after the month you ask to have them started,” Czarnowski says. “But, if you have never applied for benefits, once you do file, you will still be able to receive a maximum of six months of retroactive payments, although nothing earlier than the month you reach FRA.” Before the changes, filing and suspending was a way to keep your options open, Czarnowski says. “Now, sitting back and doing nothing actually provides more options,” he says.

Allocating just a little bit of your nest egg toward smart picks can pay off in the long run.

FUNDS TO PUT RETIREMENT PORTFOLIO INTO ORBIT

A few strategic moves in a portfolio can make a big difference Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

There is a huge body of evidence showing the power of index funds — that is, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that are tied to a stock market index such as the S&P 500.

Last year, two-thirds of investment managers who handpicked large stocks did worse than if they simply put their money into the fixed list of S&P 500 components.

The long-term data is even more compelling, with 82% of active funds underperforming index funds over the past 10 years.

Still, for many investors, a plain-vanilla approach to investing via index funds isn’t enough.

Whether it’s the allure of being in the minority achieving outperformance or whether it’s a specific financial situation in their household that demands a different approach, many Americans are looking for something different than simply a “set it and forget it” approach with index funds.

A good investment portfolio is always diversified, of course, something experts all recommend. In addition, they advise against risky bets that can bankrupt you if they go south.

That said, a few strategic

moves in a portfolio can make a big difference — particularly when used in concert with index funds that form the foundation of your retirement strategy. Quality often trumps quantity in these situations, and allocating just a little bit of your nest egg toward smart picks can pay off in the long run.

Here are three top funds recommended by investment experts to help you achieve your financial goals:

1

LONG-TERM TREASURY BONDS FOR PROTECTION

If you have a substantial amount of savings already, you should be very proud of your saving strategy.

And you also should consider looking for stable investments to protect that nest egg in a choppy market, said Chuck Self, a chief investment officer at ETF investment strategist of iSectors in Appleton, Wis. That’s why he recommends the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), which yields about 2.4% right now.

“The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF is a great option for investors looking to combat slowed growth (for the U.S. economy) and provide diversification for their portfolios,” Self said.

He added that “Treasuries are

attractive to foreign investors, too,” given slowing global growth rates and the fact that U.S. government bonds are the world’s safe-haven investment.

Some investors may be leery of long-term bonds, given talk about the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates and the fact that when rates rise the principal value of bonds can drop. However, Self pointed out that the Fed has been very subdued in its interestrate plan, including a move in March to dial down expectations for future rate increases. In fact, he doesn’t see any rate increases at all this calendar year.

“With continued slow economic growth, low inflation expectations and the presidential elections coming up, the only opportunity to raise rates would be December, and we expect the economic growth and inflation expectations will be too low to raise rates then,” he said.

EMERGING MARKETS FOR AGGRESSIVE GROWTH

It’s no secret that there is a lot of turmoil in global markets lately, particularly with China’s economy slowing last year to grow at the slowest pace in 25 years.

But long-term investors should see the recent downturn in emerging markets as an opportu-

nity to buy into these regions at depressed prices, said Mariann Montagne, senior investment analyst at Gradient Investments in Arden Hills, Minn.

She recommends the First Trust Chindia ETF (FNI) for investors who can stomach the short-term volatility overseas in pursuit of long-term outperformance. This ETF is focused only on companies domiciled in China and India, two emerging markets with some of the biggest potential for future growth.

“We believe China’s economic growth will remain in the 6% to 7% range for the next few years, while India’s will continue its top position at slightly better than

7% growth,” Montagne said. “We believe earnings expectations have been set low for each country, and financial reforms are on the rise.”

Montagne adds that a diversified emerging markets fund like FNI also offers a bit more stability than picking individual companies in these far-flung regions, which can be very risky for individual investors.

3

LOW VOLATILITY FOR LESS STRESS

For many investors, the day-to-day volatility of the stock market can take a big emotional toll. Even if they know academically that a good strategy is to buy and hold for the long term, the roller-coaster ride of their portfolio and the 24-hour crush of headlines can simply be too much.

That’s where the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV) comes in. This exchangetraded fund avoids stocks that are trading for a premium above their current profit levels and is weighted toward defensive consumer picks instead of more volatile sectors of the stock market.

“It has a low expense ratio and has zero technology and zero energy exposure, limiting risk,” said Ron Weiner, founder and president of RDM Financial Group in Westport, Conn. “This is a good all-weather fund. We feel that we are currently in a trading range where stocks are not cheap, and we don’t see a catalyst to spur significant growth.”

There isn’t as much explosive potential, of course, but it’s an appropriate investment for those who are willing to forfeit big swings up in order to prevent big swings down.

And 2016 seems a particularly appropriate time for this fund, Weiner adds, given the “dull market” where today’s big winners don’t seem to have much staying power.

OUR 2016 ACADEMIC ALL-STARS

hether it’s living in a small town, at a hospital or with a sibling with special needs, the experiences of the members of the 2016 Lawrence Journal-World Academic All-Star team are varied. Those experiences have led the students to pursue careers in a variety of fields as well: veterinary science, medicine, public communications.

Since 1997, the Journal-World has invited area principals and counselors from public and private high schools to nominate their most outstanding senior students for the Academic All-Star team.

This year, 23 students were nominated and submitted applications, which were reviewed by a panel of three judges.

The 10 members of the team are picked based on their academics, extracurricular activities and essays and are meant to highlight some of the Lawrence area’s best students. They are all honored at a special luncheon, and one is selected to receive a $500 scholarship.

OUTSTANDING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS HONORED u

Champion with unique story bound for Northwestern and a career in biological sciences Christina Im

CHRISTINA IM of Bishop Seabury Academy is the Journal-World’s 2016 Academic All-Star champion.

T

he winner of this year’s $500 Academic All-Star scholarship is a student whose academics, writing and unique motivation impressed judges. That combination made Christina Im, a senior at Bishop Seabury Academy, stand out among the finalists — as did her story.

Im’s earliest memories are at a hospital.

Her younger brother Christian was born severely disabled and to this day is deaf, blind and nonverbal. Im and her mother stayed at the hospital for much of her early childhood, and Im was so interested and involved in her brother’s care that the hospital staff gave her the nickname of “little therapist.”

“The doctors, nurses and therapists always tried to include me in his care by allowing me to pick out his stickers, hold doctor charts, and test out the therapy toys,” Im said. “One doctor even gifted me with my own Fisher-Price medical kit so that I could ‘help’ the nurses take Christian’s vitals.”

Im said the play medical kit was her most prized possession, and her experience at the hospital is one of the reasons that she aspires to become a doctor. The other reason is that Im and her brother have the same genetic abnormality — a chromosome deletion — though with vastly different outcomes. That discovery led to Im’s particular interest in genetics. “…My brother and I both have a chromosome deletion, but we live

and function on opposite ends of the ability spectrum,” she said.

How Im’s experiences shaped her decisions and plans for the future particularly impressed Robert Harrington, a Kansas University professor and one of three judges for the competition.

“She puts stuff together, disparate things that most of us wouldn’t think about,” he said.

After graduation, Im plans to major in biological sciences with a concentration in genetics and genomics at Northwestern University.

At Northwestern, Im also would also like to minor in Spanish and study abroad. She already speaks three languages, and said she sees her interest in language as part of her future as

a doctor. Her dream: to be fluent in “at least seven” languages someday.

“I plan to use my language skills to communicate directly and to build trusting relationships with my patients for when I am a doctor,” she said.

Along with her 4.41 GPA and No. 1 class rank, Harrington said Im’s writing stood out.

“Every one of these sentences is really nice,” Harrington said as he read through her writing. “…I think Northwestern is going to be very happy to have this young lady.”

Varied experiences impress judges

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

With high grade-point averages, test scores and long lists of extracurricular activities, the 10 members of the Academic All-Star team certainly look good on paper. However, it was the students’ essays that revealed to judges the effort behind their accolades.

“It takes more than just scores and grades and school accomplishments to be successful,” said Robert Harrington, who has been a judge for the Academic All-Star program since its inception in 1997.

Harrington is a professor of psychology and research in education at Kansas University. He was joined on the panel of judges by Rand Ziegler and Austin Turney. Ziegler is department chair of behavioral and health sciences at Baker University. Turney is a retired accounting professional and former Lawrence school board member.

About two dozen students were nominated by their principals or counselors for the Academic All-Star team, and judges selected 10 for the honor. Harrington said the varied backgrounds, experiences and, in

some cases, the degree of adversity faced by this year’s nominees were striking.

“I think that speaks to something that we know about an education but we don’t speak a lot about,” Harrington said. “And that is it doesn’t really make any difference where you come from as long as you have the value of education.”

Just among the 10 finalists, students told of living in other countries, with siblings with special needs or feeling like they didn’t quite fit in.

Whatever the circumstances, Harrington said many of the students were influenced by their experiences and families.

“Family is a motivation and an inspiration, and many of them talk about how even through struggles that every student has at some point, the family was there to encourage them to keep going,” he said.

Harrington said he was also pleased with the variety of school districts represented by the students.

The 23 nominees came from 13 high schools, and among the 10 finalists seven schools were represented.

“There was a nice breadth of representation across Douglas County, so that was nice to see,” he said.

Yoshida’s mom, Susan, is from a big family in southern Louisiana, and his dad, Ty, is Japanese and came as a teenager to the United States for boarding school. Yoshida said his parents’ backgrounds offered him a unique upbringing, as did his visits to see family on both sides.

“During my visits I get to see

That bicultural experience has shaped his thinking and his goals, said Yoshida, who is a senior at Bishop Seabury Academy.

Baker president to students: Be open to new plans

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

As students begin their college education, it’s important for them to realize that goals can change over time and students shouldn’t be afraid revise their plans, said Lynne Murray, president of Baker University.

“If you find what you are passionate about, drop everything and follow it,” Murray said. “You will find great happiness.”

Murray delivered the keynote address at Wednesday’s luncheon honoring the Journal-World’s Academic AllStar team. The team is made up of 10 area high school seniors selected based on their academics, extracurricular activities and essays.

Since 1997, the Journal-World has sponsored the annual Academic AllStar program, which honors the top seniors in the greater Lawrence area.

Ten are selected to the team, and one of them receives a $500 scholarship. This year’s scholarship winner is Christina Im of Bishop Seabury Academy.

Murray also emphasized that students should look for opportunities to learn both in and outside of school.

“I’ve come to understand that whether it be at school or work, I always learn more when I’m not the smartest one in the room,” Murray said. “So surround yourself with people who you can learn from.”

Twenty-three students were nominated by their principals or counselors for the Academic All-Star team, and judges selected six young women and four young men. Seven students on the team had a grade-point average of 4.0 or above and three earned a 3.9. The students will attend universities such as Harvard, Rice, Kansas University and Kansas State.

Whether the students stick with their current plans or deviate from them, Murray encouraged them to work hard.

“I hope you follow your dreams and that you have the tenacity to keep following them or the courage to chart a new course for yourself when it feels right,” she said.

o what do the Academic All-Stars do after graduating from high school?

As is tradition, the JournalWorld caught up with as many All-Star alumni as possible from the team 10 years ago. The class of 2006 left high school with stellar GPAs and hopes of working for NASA, becoming a doctor or playing piano, among other goals. Check out what they are up to today:

Amanda Frederick Then: When a senior at Free State High School, Frederick was interested in literature and wanted to become a teacher. Frederick had a 4.0 GPA and won a Scholastic Gold Key award for writing poetry. She wanted to focus her future studies on English language arts and literature, hoping to teach her own English class someday.

Now: Frederick received her bachelor’s degree in secondary English education from Kansas University, where she graduated with honors and highFrederick est distinction. While at KU, she studied abroad in England and Scotland with the British Summer Institute and got to visit some of her favorite poetic and literary locations. She teaches English at her alma mater, Free State High School, and is working on her master’s degree in teaching reading.

Advice: “Success is never a straight line going up. There are jagged ups and downs for everybody ... Did you know that Hemingway said he rewrote the ending to “A Farewell to Arms” 39 times before he was happy with it?

Jayhawks found a few answers in spring

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Quite a guy

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Thursday marked the final spring practice of the 2016 season for the Kansas University football program and, after finishing the spring semester and surviving finals, the Jayhawks will be given back to strength and conditioning coach Je’Ney Jackson for the summer.

Jackson, who joined second-year KU coach David Beaty’s staff for his second stint at Kansas, often was l a u d e d throughout the offseason for his work in Beaty transforming the Jayhawks’ bodies and making them both stronger and more agile and explosive.

Although that was tough to see in the spring game — mostly because of the format — it certainly showed up on a case-bycase basis, with several key returners looking much different than they did when we last Jackson saw them in November, particularly the freshmen.

Most of that work was put in during the winter months, when the Jayhawks used the disappointment and embarrassment of last season’s 0-12 record to fuel their workouts.

That mentality carried over into the spring and played a part in producing six key things we learned about this team from March and April.

1. Quarterback still a question — A wrist injury to returning starter Ryan Willis opened the door for one of KU’s other quarterbacks to storm through it.

And, although Beaty said senior Montell Cozart had another solid spring, his spring game was unimpressive and left many wondering just how much the 11-game starter had improved. Carter Stanley, Deondre Ford and Keaton Perry showed flashes of improvement from time to time but also were inconsistent and could not surpass Cozart on the depth chart. At this point, it looks like a two-horse race for the starting job heading into the summer, with Willis likely having a slight lead.

2. Receiving corps deep and talented — The addition of Texas A&M transfer LaQuvionte Gonzalez gives KU that No.1-type of wideout it was missing last season. His experience, crisp route-running, confidence and top-end speed bring another dimension to the offense, and his presence provides KU’s crop of promising, young wideouts the opportunity to fill in the roles around him.

Sophomores Steven Sims Jr. and Jeremiah Booker have big-time potential. Juniors Bobby Hartzog and Darious Crawley could be ready for bigger roles. And fierce competitors Tyler Patrick and rookie Keegan Brewer

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COMMIT JOSH JACKSON COMPETES IN THE UNDER ARMOUR ELITE 24 GAME on Aug. 22, 2015 in New York.

Future Jayhawk Jackson makes impression

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Detroit native Josh Jackson could have asked Prolific Prep founder Jeremy Russotti to take him to see Calistoga’s Old Faithful Geyser, tour a vineyard, go bike-riding on a mountain trail or even walk on the Boardwalk on his first day in Napa, Calif., two summers ago.

Instead, the country’s toprated high school basketball player, who on Monday committed to play hoops at Kansas University, immediately

forgot about entertaining himself and asked if he could join his future teammates in a relief effort in the northern California town.

Let Russotti explain: “I picked him up at the airport, right when the Eagle landed. Literally that same morning we had an earthquake centered in Napa,” Russotti said. “Downtown Napa was in a state of emergency. Our team met at a church that had been turned into an emergency-relief center.

“Josh just got off the plane,

just got back into the country after playing for USA Basketball, and our players were helping clean up a house that literally got split in half.

“Josh said, ‘Give me a hardhat. Let’s go help.’ Here you have the No. 1 player in the country spend his first two, three hours in Napa helping clean up a house. There were a lot of important community members saw that and were so impressed,” Russotti added.

Jackson — who had yet to convert his first bucket for Prolific Prep, where he averaged 26.9 points, 13.1 re-

bounds and 6.3 assists his senior season in solidifying his status as the country’s top recruit — made Russotti smile again a week later.

“One night I kept getting texts (with) people saying, ‘Josh is the greatest kid ever.’

I said, ‘OK,’’’ Russotti said.

“Finally I get a picture texted to me, and it’s the mascot from the football game (at Justin-Siena High, where Jackson and other Prolific Prep players take classes).

It was the first game of the Please see JACKSON, page 3C

Firebirds’ Gudde tosses two-hitter

FREE STATE PITCHER HUNTER GUDDE DELIVERS AGAINST Sioux Falls (S.D.) O’Gorman on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. The Firebirds won, 4-0. For more photos, please visit www.ljworld.com/fshsbaseball41616

Death, taxes and strong pitching from Free State High senior Hunter Gudde.

It’s almost becoming a certainty that Gudde, Mr. Consistency, will dominate when he’s on the mound. He dazzled once again on Saturday afternoon, throwing a two-hitter and leading his baseball team to a 4-0 victory over Sioux Falls (S.D.) O’Gorman at Kansas Uni-

versity’s Hoglund Ballpark, striking out seven.

More than anything, Gudde was efficient. He only reached one three-ball count against the 23 batters he faced, completing the game in 67 pitches.

It didn’t take long for the Firebirds to realize Gudde was sharper than usual Saturday — even by his standards.

Lions execute squeeze to edge Maize

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

With the game-winning run standing on third base in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday, Lawrence High sophomore infielder Andrew Stewart was focused when he walked up to the plate.

Stewart saw his coaches call for a squeeze bunt and Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C tapped his cleats to let them

know he understood. When Maize pitcher Jake Doerflinger started his delivery, LHS senior outfielder Ivan Hollins started running toward the plate.

The pitch was in the strike zone, and Stewart dropped down a bunt in fair territory, scoring Hollins and giving the Lions a 3-2 victory at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“I didn’t really think about

it,” Stewart said. “I just got it down.”

Hollins set up the walk-off bunt when he drilled a pitch into right field, and Maize’s right fielder misplayed the ball, watching a single turn into a runner on third base.

After a strikeout, the squeeze bunt was set into John Young/Journal-World Photo motion. The Lions (6-5) practice the play several LAWRENCE HIGH’S SAMMY HOGSETT (11) is greeted after scoring in a 3-2 victory over Maize on Please see LIONS, page 4C Saturday night at Hoglund Ballpark.

COMING MONDAY

UConn’s Auriemma resting in hospital Storrs, Conn. — UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma has been hospitalized due to an undisclosed illness.

The school released a statement saying the 62-year-old Auriemma had boarded a plane Saturday morning at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, but decided to deplane because he was not feeling well.

The school says he was taken to a hospital for observation and is resting comfortably.

The Hall of Fame coach guided the Huskies to an unprecedented 11th national title this month. But, he missed the victory parade in Hartford last weekend and did not accompany the team when it was honored by lawmakers at the state Capitol this week, because he was feeling ill.

He attended the WNBA Draft Thursday, but did not speak with reporters.

Auriemma is 955-134 in 31 seasons at UConn.

OAKLAND’S YONDER ALONSO, RIGHT, SCORES PAST Kansas City’s Drew Butera. The Athletics defeated the Royals, 5-3, on Saturday in Oakland, Calif.

Gray, Reddick propel Oakland past Royals Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Sonny Gray was a little frustrated, and Josh Reddick was feeling great.

The combination helped turn things around.

Reddick and Stephen Vogt homered to back Gray’s solid effort, and the Oakland Athletics ended a four-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.

“I’ve been feeling great ever since we left here the first time,” Reddick said. “When you can get the lead at any point, especially the way we’ve been playing, it’s a good thing.”

Gray (2-1) pitched through trouble, lasting six innings to earn his first victory against the Royals in four starts, leaving the Boston Red Sox as the only AL team he has not yet beaten.

“You look at the Royals, and it’s hard to get deep into the game,” Gray said. “Every one of them make you work for everything. It was a frustrating game. I’d get two quick outs, and then 15, 16 pitches later, I’d finally get out of the inning.”

Gray, who needed 100 pitches to finish five, gave up two runs and seven hits, walking one and striking out six. He stranded six runners, four in scoring position.

Reddick, who hit the ball hard in every at bat, erased the Royals’ early lead with a three-run shot in the bottom of the first off Chris Young (0-3), who failed to get through five innings for the second straight start.

Young gave up four runs and eight hits in four-plus innings. He walked two and struck out two. The Royals had a four-game winning streak snapped.

“It’s not necessarily command,” Young said.

Trainer’s room Royals: C Salvador Perez received a regular day off with a day game following a night game.

Athletics: INF Eric Sogard will have arthroscopic surgery performed on his left knee, an injury that has bothered him on and off for two years.

“I’m going to have to get a bone spur removed out of my tendon,” Sogard said. “There’s loose bodies in there, so he’s going to go in and take care of that. My patella bone as well is a little pointed at the end, so he’s going to shave that down.” Sogard dealt with it through spring training and then came up with a sore neck that landed him on the DL to open the season.

While he was resting the neck, the knee continued to hurt. “It’s unfortunate it’s during the season, but I have to go through that and be out. It’s something I’ve been dealing with for a few years now. It’s been affecting me out there a little bit, mainly at the plate, being my back knee.” ... RHP Henderson Alvarez (right shoulder injury) will throw a bullpen today, and if he comes out of it OK, will go on a rehab assignment.

Up next Royals: RHP Kris Medlen (1-0, 3.60) makes the start against Oakland today. He went 5-0 with a 1.20 ERA in nine road games last year.

Athletics: RHP Chris Bassitt (0-0, 2.92) gets the call in the series finale.

He’s 0-0 with a 6.23 ERA in two starts against the Royals.

school year, and somebody said, ‘Josh is in the (Braves) mascot uniform, and he’s going crazy, high-fiving all the parents and the kids.’ He was the mascot.

“That was his way of fitting in and being a normal kid, showing people, ‘I’m no different than you.’ It was cool for him to own the hearts of families and communities,” Russotti added.

A valuable member of the Napa community, Jackson, of course, will leave known most for his exploits on the court.

After helping Prolific Prep to a 30-7 record, he recently earned coMVP honors at the McDonald’s All-America game, then improved his career record with USA Basketball to 20-0 by playing on the winning U.S. team at the Nike Hoop Summit.

“The thing about basketball I love is winning,” Jackson said on an official Grind Session video released after his commitment to KU. His team competed in several Grind Session tournaments this past season involving the country’s top prep school players.

“It’s my favorite thing.

I hate to lose. I want to be remembered for winning.

“The second thing I love is just getting better at the game,” Jackson added.

There is just one aspect of Jackson’s game that analysts say he must work on — his jump shot. Jackson’s Prolific Prep coach, Billy McKnight, who praised Jackson’s desire, his lockdown defense, athleticism and ability to take the ball to the basket,

also figure to be tough to keep off the field.

3. KU survived the coaching turnover — It remains to be seen how well the five coaches added to Beaty’s staff will do in terms of recruiting and developing talent, but the fivesome did not seem to miss a beat when it came to coaching the players already on campus. Jason Phillips (wide receivers), Todd Bradford (linebackers), Joe DeForest (special teams), Michael Slater (defensive line) and Tony Hull (running backs) all got right to work after arriving in Lawrence, some with as little as just a few days before the start of spring practice. One of the biggest reasons these coaches were able to pick up where their predecessors left off was because of their familiarity with the offensive system Beaty wants to run and their general experience as college coaches.

With the exception of Hull, who came from the high school ranks in Louisiana, the four other assistants brought to town an average of 17 seasons of college football coaching experience.

Compare that to the average of just five seasons by the coaches they replaced and it’s clear that

addressed the shooting issue.

“He wins a lot of our shooting contests at practice,” McKnight said. “His consistency is something he needs to work on. He has confidence in his shot. He made some big shots for us through the year, including the game winner against Huntington Prep.

“We had to throw a baseball pass (with) 1.2 seconds left, down one or two. Josh caught the ball at the top of the key and hit a shot at the buzzer to win it for us. He is not afraid of taking the big shot.

“People point that out because the rest of his game is so good. They are looking for something he needs to work on. Everybody needs to improve, even Steph Curry, right?”

McKnight added with a laugh.

Jackson seems to think so, carrying a strict work ethic to the gym.

“The thing that gets me up all the time even when I am tired is my dream,” Jackson said. “I really want to be one of the best players to ever play.”

McKnight said he has tried and finally come up with a player Jackson just might resemble a bit.

“I was coaching at the University of Oregon. It was when Luke Jackson was a senior and firstteam All-American. Andre Iguodala guarded him in Tucson and shut him (Luke Jackson) down,” McKnight said.

“I think of Josh’s body type and ability to do different things and that name comes in my head,” McKnight added of Iguodala. “Andre ... his length, explosiveness, competitiveness, smarts ... Josh has everything Andre has. I think Josh’s goals are to be one of the best players of all time, which would put him

ahead of that (Iguodala).

That is his baseline, not a bad baseline to have,” McKnight added.

Jackson — it has been well documented — has become so solid in all aspects of his game thanks to his mom, Apples Jones, who played at Allen County CC in Kansas and UTEP and also worked in the Navy. She has monitored his basketball progress closely, while also trusting coaches such as McKnight and others on the AAU circuit.

“The person who inspires me the most is definitely my mom, hands down,” Jackson said. “She is a strong woman, tough, pushes me to be better every day.”

She reportedly wants to be with Jackson when they sign his letter of intent in the near future and ultimately fax it to KU. At that time, KU coach Bill Self will join folks like McKnight in singing Jackson’s praises publicly.

Rest assured, KU is getting a solid person as well as player, his Prolific Prep coach promises.

“He is a great guy off the court. The kids around Lawrence will love meeting him and spending time with him,” McKnight said. “He’s really a well-mannered kid.

He signs autographs for an hour after games. He is a baby-magnet, loves to pick up small kids and give ’em a hug. He has a good heart. His mom did a tremendous job raising him.”

His stay in Lawrence will not be long, with the NBA beckoning.

“If I didn’t give him a high recommendation (as NBA talent) I’d have to get my head examined,” McKnight said. “How soon that is ... a lot of factors go into that. He has the ability to play at that level, for sure.”

the coaching staff gained some key experience in the aftermath of a wild offseason of departures.

4. Jayhawks emerged injury free — There were a handful of players who were limited and/or kept out of a good chunk of the spring session, but most of those were veteran types who needed the rest and chance to heal more than they needed the reps on the field. Not only did sitting out give those players — think running back Ke’aun Kinner, cornerback Brandon Stewart, offensive lineman Jordan Shelley-Smith and others — a chance to get fully healthy, but it also opened the door for some of the younger players to gain more reps. One year after a devastating springgame injury to quarterback Michael Cummings cost the Jayhawks one of their more important pieces, the team was extra-cautious this spring and seemed to reach the finish line in solid shape on the injury front.

5. Better beef on offensive and defensive lines — On offense, the big boys up front appear to have more versatility than at any point in the past six seasons. Last year’s starting guard D’Andre Banks moved outside to right tackle, which gives KU decent depth at the tackle position. Clyde McCaulley ran with the ones for most of the spring at left tackle, but Larry Hughes and injured senior Shel-

ley-Smith also have significant experience on the outside. Joe Gibson seems to have settled into the starting center position and Jacob Bragg and Jayson Rhodes appear to be the top two guards, with Mesa Ribordy also turning heads this spring.

On defense, the addition of juco transfers Isi Holani and DeeIsaac Davis, along with the continued improvement of D.J. Williams, Jacky Dezir and Daniel Wise gives KU some size and power on the inside to go along with a trio of talented returning defensive ends in Dorance Armstrong, Damani Mosby and Anthony Olobia.

6. New leaders stand out — Junior linebacker Joe Dineen and senior safety Fish Smithson are the unquestioned leaders of the Kansas defense, and Gonzalez got the most love from his teammates when they were asked about a leader on offense. This team has several other lead-by-example types of players, but in terms of vocal leaders who will rally the troops, say something when necessary and set the standard of hard work that is absolutely crucial if this team hopes to escape the dark shadow of last season’s disappointing finish, this trio seems to be the most comfortable doing that and the players the rest of the team automatically looks to follow.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE JESSIE ROANE, RIGHT, IS MET AT HOME PLATE by her teammates after slugging a home run during the Jayhawks’ 6-2 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday afternoon at Arrocha Ballpark.

BRIEFLY KU softball upends TTU Kansas University banged out 12 hits — three for extra bases — and clinched its Big 12 softball series with Texas Tech with a 6-2 victory over the Red Raiders on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.

Briana Evans went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI, and Jessie Roane homered and drove in two to pace the Jayhawks’ offense.

It was KU’s “Jayhawks for a Cure” game, to raise awareness for kidney cancer. Kansas coach Megan Smith’s husband, Paul Buske, died of the disease in June of 2011, and their son, Cooper Buske, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

“It’s a special day to remember my husband, Paul, but for anyone that is fighting that battle,” Smith said. “We have a lot of players who have family members that are affected by cancer, so today in our pregame huddle, we said their names, and we were playing for them. We honored them really well with the way we played today, in every aspect of the game.”

Alexis Reid (3-5) earned the win. She allowed two runs off eight hits over five innings, with four walks and three strikeouts.

“Alexis did an excellent job,” Smith said. “After yesterday, their offense was champing at the bit, and Alexis did a great job setting the tone for the game for our entire team.”

Kansas improved to 2613 overall, 3-2 Big 12, while Tech fell to 19-23, 4-4.

KU will try to complete the series sweep at noon today.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR PITCHER PARKER KIRKPATRICK FOLLOWS THROUGH as he sends a pitch toward home during the Lions’ 3-2 victory over Maize during the River City Baseball Festival on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

times a week and executed it to perfection when it mattered the most.

With players flying out of the dugout to celebrate with Stewart and Hollins, it ended any memory of their 18-run loss on Friday. “(Friday) was an anomaly,” said LHS senior Brad Kincaid, who went 2-for3 at the plate. “We just came out here and coach told us to erase yesterday and that’s exactly what we did. We came out and hit the ball, played defense and everyone is pitching well.”

In the final three innings, the Eagles (7-4, ranked No. 8 in Class 5A) left a runner stranded at third base.

Kincaid, who pitched the final 21⁄3 innings, lived on the edge. His slider wasn’t moving the way he wanted. He watched Maize fill the bases with two outs in the sixth inning without a hit. Yet, he escaped the threat by forcing a routine ground ball.

In the seventh inning, after Maize senior Jacob Karst hit a two-out double and advanced to third on a wild pitch, Kincaid struck out Maize’s cleanup hitter with an 86-mph fastball.

“His slider wasn’t there,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “He had zero feel for the slider. But he got by on pure guts and a fastball. That just shows what kind of kid he is.”

Kincaid added: “I just trust my defense behind me because I know they are going to get the job

done. That makes it a lot easier for me and I can just go out there and throw as hard as I can.”

The Eagles scored two runs on three hits in the first inning against LHS starting pitcher Parker Kirkpatrick. Maize senior Hunter LaMunyon hit an RBI single and Karst scored on a sacrifice fly.

Afterward, Kirkpatrick found his rhythm. The senior right-hander, who underwent Tommy John surgery last year, tossed three scoreless frames before he exited with two outs in the fifth inning.

“I was just pleased with overall attitude, nobody panicked,” Stoll said. “We got down early. We’ve come from behind. I think they just felt like, ‘OK, we’ll be fine.’”

LHS sophomore first baseman Devin Lauts hit a leadoff single in the sec-

in the fourth inning. He was hit by a pitch and his courtesy runner, junior Chris Anderson, advanced to third on an error. Then Matt Hill hit a two-strike pitch to the opposite field for an RBI single. Junior Dale Miller scored later in the frame on a groundout.

“He’s coming along,” Mike Hill said of his son. “He still has a ways to go with the stick and we know that. His job is to play defense and he’s done a good job with that so far. Anything we can get offensively from him is a bonus.”

In the fifth inning, after the Firebirds (10-1) loaded the bases without a hit, Gudde hit an RBI single into right field. Junior third baseman Zion Bowlin, who went 2-for-2 and was hit by a pitch, scored on the next at-bat on a double play.

“It brought my confidence up a little bit,” said Gudde, who was 1-for-9 at the plate in the last two games. “I’ve been hitting it right to people lately.”

With Gudde on the mound, the Firebirds know they don’t need to provide him with much run support. He can do the rest, especially when he’s pitching at his best — which is becoming more common with a 15-inning scoreless streak.

The Firebirds have won six straight games, including all three in the River City Festival over the weekend.

“The kids are just playing well,” Mike Hill said.

“There are lapses here and there. We weren’t real good between the ears Thursday night. Today, I’d tell you that we weren’t real good offensively. But the consistency with our pitching and our defense, it will keep you in games at this level — at any level, quite frankly.”

In the fourth inning, the Lions tied the score without a hit. After Kirkpatrick reached on an error, his courtesy runner, Sammy Hogsett, scored on an error when senior outfielder Luke Padia hit a ground ball to third base.

“I came in here today,” Stoll said, “and said, ‘Guys last night is over.

This is the last time we’re ever going to talk about it. We can’t do anything about it, move on.’ And they moved on. They came out and played as hard as they could today and that’s all you can ask.”

When it’s your child, it never feels like a small problem.

We understand.

When it comes to illness, including ear, nose & throat issues, we know that your child is not just a “miniadult.” Kids often display different symptoms than grownup patients, and they definitely have their own language of complaints. It’s our job to be sensitive to that—and to be sensitive to the parents’ needs and worries as well. It’s just how we do things here.

Todd Pletcher’s four victories in Oaklawn Park’s signature race.

And while the win wasn’t completely unexpected, it was somewhat of a surprise after an overlooked Creator finished third in last month’s Rebel Stakes and went off at 11-1 on Saturday.

“The horse is getting good at the right time,” Asmussen said. “It took a while for the light to turn on for him. His last two races have been very impressive. I love how he came home and went for the wire today.”

Hot Springs, Ark. (ap) — Steve Asmussen wasn’t completely sure what to expect from Arkansas Derby entrant Creator after a solid but not spectacular start to the 3-yearold’s campaign.

The trainer couldn’t have been happier with how the colt closed out his second victory of the year Saturday, emerging from the field with a furious final kick on the home stretch to win the $1 million Kentucky Derby prep race.

eth Melin is, on most days, an easygoing, congenial 38-yearold living a stable, decidedly adult life in Kansas City, Mo., complete with husband, children and a desk job at a market research firm.

But on a handful of nights throughout the spring and summer months, Beth becomes someone else — a provocative, “demanding” rock-and-roll type who favors “Black Swan”-esque eye makeup and shredded band T-shirts emblazoned with her name.

“CindAirella,” they read, in jagged black letters. She is currently the ninth best air guitar player on the planet.

“She is definitely a part of me,” Melin says of her diva alter ego with whom she shares the distinction, earned at last year’s World Air Guitar Championships in Oulu, Finland.

“But when I go on stage, it’s no longer Beth. It’s definitely CindAirella.”

The 2016 competitive air guitar season (yes, it exists) will soon be upon us. For Melin and the tight-knit community of enthusiasts in northeast Kansas, it begins Friday at The Bottleneck with Lawrence’s first-ever official competitive air guitar show.

Slated for 9 p.m., the contest will select a winner to represent Lawrence in

Arey, as Eddie Hans Flailin’, practices a solo in anticipation of the upcoming local contest.

“These people are not messing around. It is a performance you will not see probably anywhere else, and it is so much fun to watch.”

— Beth Melin, air guitarist

the U.S. Air Guitar regional championships in Kansas City. From there, ideally, the national championships at Austin in late summer, and then, the 21st annual World Air Guitar Championships, held every year in Oulu.

For Melin, it’s a chance to slip into her CindAirella costume again and reconnect with a group of fellow air guitar competitors that is both figuratively and literally, in a few cases, her family.

Melin’s older brother, Eric,

is hosting Friday’s competition, and also holds the title of 2013 world champion. She met her husband, Justin Fox, at an air guitar show a few years back, where he was performing as Iron Dragon.

And then there are the friends.

“It’s immediate bonding,” says Travis Arey, a Lawrence musician who goes by Ed-

die Hans Flailin’ in air guitar circles. “You can’t do that stuff and then not immediately be friends with the people who are also doing it.”

Like Melin, Arey is no stranger to the white-collar world. The 28-year-old works at a call center, where he has developed a serene, measured speaking voice and “phone butler” persona entirely at

odds with his off-the-wall alter ego.

The call center is also where he met Cassy Highlander and convinced the 30-year-old, whose stage name is VelociRapture, to take up air guitar a few years back. She’s kept at it, and will also perform in Friday’s championships.

FILM REVIEWS

Tragicomedy ‘Demolition’ defies convention

By Barbara Vancheri Associated Press

“Demolition” is a curious, compelling blend of humor and tragedy and going to extremes; it had someone sitting behind me at the Toronto International Film Festival this past fall saying, “No!” out loud at one especially audacious scene.

And there are many.

I’ve seen this movie twice in six months, and even when the element of surprise is gone, the power of the performances of Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Cooper remain. “Demolition” was the opening night movie of the festival and the animated audience of 2,000 was willing to laugh at the dark humor, even when it didn’t know what to make of it.

Where to watch

‘Jungle Book’ revamp has more than just the bare necessities

By Colin Covert Associated Press

It’s hard not to think of “The Jungle Book” remake as a feast. It is a banquet of storytelling delicacy, exciting light drama and athletic action. After every delicious scene, I wanted seconds.

Based on the 1967 animated musical, the last feature created under Walt Disney’s guidance, this remake is a case of a studio honoring its artistic legacy with consummate care while moving it in a new direction. An established classic tale has been lifted to an even

human feelings to Mowgli, the orphaned “man cub” raised by wolves in an Indian forest.

It’s a place where there is cross-species jingoism and animosity can erupt

with fang and claw. Idris Elba is a nasty piece of work voicing the predatory tiger Shere Khan, Scarlett Johansson is simultaneously feminine and hypnotic as the devious

python Kaa, and Bill Murray is impish fun as Baloo, a hedonist bear who has transformed idleness into a philosophy.

Neel Sethi is the sole human performer here, and he is a talent to treasure.

Naturalistic in his close connection to the animals and credible when his human instincts make him construct clever gadgets, he is every bit the equal of the photorealistic beasts created by Weta Digital.

I left the film hoping he doesn’t grow out of camera-friendly looks as so many child stars do, but if he does, this film is a big enough gift on its own.

Newest ‘Barbershop’ installment touches on tough topics with humor

By Colin Covert Associated Press

In the annals of improbable things happening in the movie industry, the travails of a struggling hair salon on Chicago’s South Side may have been the oddest formula ever for a film series. So I’m happy to report that the delightful “Barbershop” franchise, now opening its third installment, remains not a harebrained scheme but a viable fan favorite.

The new chapter, “Barbershop: The Next Cut,”

Air CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“We have this total working-stiff day job and then we go do this absolutely ridiculous thing at night a couple times a year,” says Highlander, who mostly sticks to “winging it” but can easily spend anywhere from 5 to 10 hours on her routine in the week before a competition.

While some competitors are more disciplined and strategic, Arey is “a little more organic” in his approach.

At past competitions, Eddie has attempted to summon a few “rock-androll demons,” Arey says.

Another time, Eddie was overtaken by an evil spirit while onstage. The details of Friday’s routine haven’t been worked out quite yet.

Competitors are judged on three key components:

technical merit (to what extent does the contestant look like they’re playing a real guitar?), stage presence and “airness,” which is difficult to define

but essentially describes a performance that has transcended the mere imitation of guitar-playing to become an art form in and of itself.

Air guitar is both athletic and theatrical. It can involve crazy, sometimesdangerous stunts (Melin likes to recount one story in particular, in which a woman somehow lost a toe after leaping from a chair) and an amount of exertion that, for Arey, conjures up images of Mick Jagger, who reportedly struts 12 miles over the course of an average Rolling Stones concert.

tible gumption is under pressure. He narrates a prologue that shows how recent years have become very tough for Chicagoans. Gangs in the city’s and speakers, I’ve seen stage dives gone wrong,” Melin says. “These people are not messing around.

It is a performance you will not see probably anywhere else, and it is so much fun to watch.”

Air guitar isn’t afraid of poking fun at itself, either.

The hobby and its enthusiasts are serious, however, about the underlying, common thread that runs through air guitar.

The purpose of the World Air Guitar Championships, its website proudly notes, is to “promote world peace.”

“The idea is, if you’re not holding an air guitar, you’re holding a gun or a weapon,” Highlander says. “It’s a sport, but there’s a message to it, and I think that’s pretty important to the spirit of air guitar in general.”

— Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld. com and 832-6388.

South and West sides have pushed gun-related violence to extremely dangerous levels. It’s a troubling situation that flares up repeatedly off-screen.

Things have come a long way since 2002, when the top worries in the original “Barbershop” were loan sharks and ATM thieves.

On a more personal note, his teenage son’s conflicts with neighborhood rivals may force his transfer to a safer Catholic school. “It’s time you met some Catholics!” Calvin barks. And his business,

formerly a men’s-only club, has expanded into a coed debate society. Female customers, beauticians and cosmetologists take up equal space in the shop, regularly steering discussions to the topic of two-timing boyfriends.

Director Malcolm D. Lee is not giving us a crosssection of urban life but one that goes left, right and diagonal all at once. While it comes across at times like a talk show where everyone interrupts, the film has a good-hearted aura that’s very hard to resist.

Parents need to take a stand on boy’s misbehavior Dear Annie: I am the stepgrandma of a 2-year-old boy. “Danny” lives with his parents and an older sibling. I have never been blessed with children of my own, but I taught elementary school for many years.

Danny’s behavior seems unusual to me. If I give him a toy, he throws it like a major league pitcher. He hits everyone in the face. The last time Danny visited, he pulled my cat’s tail.

Danny is like this in my home, his own home and everyone else’s. To me, his behavior is over the top, but I have never raised a boy and don’t know for certain. But friends who have raised boys say his behavior is excessive.

I don’t dare bring this up with his parents because I am only related through marriage and

Annie’s Mailbox

this could start a war.

So tell me, Annie. Is this normal behavior?

— Worried Grandma Dear Worried: It is normal for a 2-year-old boy to throw things and run around. Both boys and girls that age will scream and bite. This is why they have parents — to tell them that such behavior is unacceptable and to teach them to control themselves.

Danny’s parents are not doing their job, and that is why he is so wild.

‘Vinyl’ too ridiculous for HBO Kip goes over the edge on the season finale of “Vinyl” (8 p.m., HBO, TV-MA). This series, executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger, will return for a second season.

As a network without commercials or ratings concerns, HBO can do whatever it wants.

“Vinyl” has attracted a modest audience and middling reviews.

I’m torn between seeing it as just plain bad and laugh-outloud terrible. Sometimes it’s unwatchable. Occasionally it verges on becoming “The Valley of the Dolls” of rock ‘n’ roll.

To paraphrase a memorable line from “The Godfather,” a network in HBO’s position can’t afford to look ridiculous. “Vinyl” is ridiculous.

In other HBO news, look for two episodes of “Girls” (TVMA): Marnie’s disturbing dream (9 p.m.); Shoshanna’s tour (9:30 p.m.). The second is the season finale. “Girls” will return for a sixth and final season.

Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): the vulnerability of cellphones; companies that opt out of paying life insurance policies.

O Elizabeth addresses the U.N. on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O North of the border on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Adam’s nocturnal wanderings do not go unnoticed on “The Family” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

O Gary goes on trial on “Grantchester” on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings).

O The group falls in with a family of survivalists on “Fear the Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC, TV-MA).

O Cassie and Sam get serious as “Good Witch” (8 p.m., Hallmark, TV-PG) enters its second season.

O The TV Land Icon Awards (8 p.m., Nickelodeon, TV Land) honor Norman Lear and John Stamos.

O Dice has something to prove on “Dice” (8:30 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA).

O A staged murder is all too real on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Caleb’s fate revealed on “Quantico” (9 p.m., ABC, TV14).

O Harry is caught between a mobster and bad press on “Mr. Selfridge” on “Masterpiece Classic” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings).

O A real estate agent vanishes on “Dateline” (9 p.m., NBC).

Tonight’s series O Yodeling on “Little Big Shots” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-G).

O Apu loses the franchise on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

We feel sorry for Danny, who will be unwelcome everywhere.

Since you don’t think you are in a position to speak up, please ask your husband to suggest parenting classes.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “New Widow,” whose stepchildren were never accepting of her. I also lost my wonderful husband after 27 years. His will was clear.

He left everything to me, with the understanding that the estate would be divided equally between his sons and mine when I died. But when his sons learned that they were not mentioned in their father’s will, they broke all contact. I knew my husband would have been outraged at their treatment, and moved on without them.

My life is full of friends and other family who care about me. As

far his sons and grandsons, who never called or stopped by to see if I needed anything, they are not part of my estate planning. My advice to “New Widow” is to have a good life and not look back. — Widow Who Knows What Her Husband Would Do Dear Widow: We understand your perspective, but please try to understand theirs.

Not being mentioned in Dad’s will was the equivalent (to them) of being told that Dad didn’t love them. And while we agree that Dad would not approve of their treatment of you, we don’t believe he intended his entire estate to go to your children.

Please reconsider.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++ You could find a partner or someone you are very close to belligerent and angry. Tonight: Vanish if you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ What will surprise you in the next few weeks is the volatility of a friend. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Some of you might not be findable, as you might be dodging a key person’s anger. Tonight: Playtime with a fun person.

SHELF LIFE

BOOK TO THE FUTURE

Thrilling tomes any time travel buff will enjoy

W

hen I was a kid, I lived in a small town in eastern Missouri. Founded in the 1810s, our little town was a gold mine of semi-abandoned artifacts in various states of disrepair: cemeteries (Daniel Boone was originally buried there!), a spooky old log house, a former general store. I could spend hours digging in my yard searching for buried remnants of the past.

Whether it was an inherent predilection, or because of this early exposure to the mystery of old things, I found that I loved wondering what it would have been like to live in a different time. So, it’s probably no surprise that I’ve spent some of my career working as a public historian, and it’s probably also no surprise that I am drawn to stories about time travel.

My earliest love in this vein was Madeleine L’Engle’s classic young adult novel “A Swiftly Tilting Planet,” a later entry in the series that began with the Newberry Award-winning “A Wrinkle in Time.” On a quest to save the world from a dictator bent on unleashing a nuclear holocaust, protagonist Charles Wallace must inhabit the lives of four people from other times in an effort to make a change in the past that would save the present.

With her characteristic wisdom and compassion, L’Engle illustrates how the thread of

history ties the past and present inexorably together.

Another writer who has made time travel a major theme of her writing is Connie Willis. Willis — a winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards — has written a loosely linked series of novels about mid-21st century Oxford historians who use the technology of time travel as a research method, and whose purely academic time travels take unexpected turns.

While the series began as a short story (“Fire Watch”), the first novel in the series is the early 1990s science fiction classic “Doomsday Book,” in which Kivrin, a graduate student from the year 2060, travels to the 14th century and finds herself caught up in the tragedy of the Black Death.

More recent additions to Willis’ Oxford Time Travel series are “Blackout” and “All Clear;” together, these two works tell the story of three historians who travel to World War II England.

When they become trapped in 1940, they are forced to become active participants in the war even as they struggle to find a way back to their own time.

Bee Ridgway’s “The River of No Return” explores the idea of time travel not as a technological innovation but as an innate gift, and introduces a secretive guild of time travelers from a myriad of times and places.

In this debut novel — part fantasy, part romance, part historical fiction, part thriller — Ridgway’s protagonist, Nick Davenant, who began life as an aristocrat in the Napoleonic era and is now the wealthy owner of an artisanal cheese farm in 21st century Vermont, finds himself caught up as a spy in a conspiracy that pits two competing visions of the

future.

One more for good measure: Kate Atkinson’s “Life After Life.” While this novel is not about time travel in the strictest sense, Atkinson’s story of Ursula Todd, who is reincarnated again and again over the course of the twentieth century, investigates the nature of time, and explores the ways that our very existence and our actions — whether intentional or not — have the power to shape the course of history.

BOOK REVIEWS

How Woody Guthrie wrote ‘26 Songs in 30 Days’

By Paul De Barros Associated Press

Woody Guthrie, the great populist singersongwriter from Oklahoma and formative inspiration for Bob Dylan, spent time in the Northwest and also wrote “Roll On, Columbia” in honor of the river that divides Washington and Oregon.

But most probably don’t know the details about how that and 25 other topical songs came to be written. Greg Vandy, known for his engaging KEXP roots-music show, “The Roadhouse,” lovingly unravels that tale in this cleanly written, handsomely de-

signed and liberally illustrated book about Guthrie’s month-plus tenure based in Portland in 1941. In the bargain, Vandy contextualizes Guthrie’s story with a ton of other fascinating facts about Northwest history.

First and foremost, he makes it clear that while Guthrie was hired by the Bonneville Power Administration to ballyhoo the Grand Coulee Dam, he was by no means a corporate or government stooge, though today’s anti-dam, anti-corporate climate makes it easy to assume that.

On the contrary, Guthrie saw the Grand

Coulee project as a Rooseveltian populist endeavor that would not only bring electric power to the people— much as the Tennessee Valley Authority project had—but also irrigate a gigantic “pasture of

plenty” (also a song title) east of the Cascades, which could accommodate the Dust Bowl refugees whose plight he and John Steinbeck had brought into public focus.

Though he clearly admires Guthrie, Vandy does not varnish over his failings as a man, including such minor matters as having body odor so strong the BPA man assigned to drive him around kept the windows rolled down and Guthrie’s more serious wanderlust-driven neglect of his wife and family. Vandy offers a telling biography of the singer up to 1941, explaining the dire

straits he found himself in when he took the government gig, and traces the public reception of the songs after they were written, as they were released on record, in various versions.

Guthrie was originally meant to be paid $3,200 for a year of employment as an actor in a documentary film about the dam, but wound up writing a brace of 26 songs in a month—for $266! The government surely got the long end of that stick.

Its money bought us a legacy that includes not just “Roll On, Columbia” and “Pastures of Plenty,” but “Hard Travelin’,” “Grand Coulee Dam” and a double sawbuck of lesser-known titles.

‘The Summer Before the War’ goes from pastoral to poignant

By Carmela Ciuraru Associated Press

In her new novel, “The Summer Before the War,” Helen Simonson repeats certain elements from her wonderful 2010 debut, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand”: a reticent approach to romance; characters with a high regard for decorum and tradition; and a quaint English village as her setting.

Once again Simonson proves that beneath the easygoing surface of her fiction are layers of dark humor and tragedy.

In the summer of 1914, a young woman, Beatrice Nash, arrives in Rye, an idyllic English seaside town. Recovering from the death of her professor father, Beatrice has accepted a job as a Latin teacher at a local grammar school. The position was arranged through her

aunt’s connection to the formidable Agatha Kent (a school b o a r d member), whose husband, John, is a senior official in the Foreign Office.

Agatha’s household includes her beloved nephews, whom she regards as sons: the Oxford-educated Hugh, training to become a surgeon; and his cousin, Daniel, a scathingly witty poet whose intense male friendships make him the target of scurrilous rumors.

That summer, just before England will enter World War I and Ger-

many has yet to invade Belgium, the mood in Rye is wary but relatively carefree. The town’s eccentric residents are still immersed in local politics a n d gossip — not yet threatened by the drastic change that will come as they serve the war effort, take in Belgian refugees and lose some of their sons.

That summer, Beatrice’s arrival is among the controversial issues being debated. As Agatha explains, the town supports female teachers for

“appropriate” subjects, but Latin is not one of them.

“I must temper my impatience for reform and choose my battles with care,” Agatha says, informing Beatrice sternly that she expects her to display “superior merit and irreproachable respectability” to avoid jeopardizing the job offer.

Although Agatha becomes a mentor to Beatrice, they have different ideas about advocating for women’s rights: Agatha favors a more discreet effort, insisting that “women like us need to demonstrate our worth, rather than demonstrating in the streets,” while Beatrice does not wish to suppress her ambitions and “rather thought she might like to vote and to have been admitted to a university degree at Oxford.”

“The Summer Before

the War” reveals its pleasures slowly. Beatrice does not even enter the classroom until nearly 300 pages in, and romance is more often hinted at than acted upon.

The novel’s gentle pacing makes the outbreak of war all the more harrowing. “Such is the slow accumulation of sorrows in a long war,” writes Simonson, “that the requests for memorial services begin to outweigh the marriages and the parishioners begin to keep their black coats brushed and hung at the front of their wardrobes.”

In the beautiful final section, the narrative turns somber. An epilogue set in the summer of 1920 finds Beatrice fulfilled in unexpected ways, yet, Simonson writes, “Under her happiness ran a thin vein of sorrow that millions like her would feel down the years.”
