More than 250 Kansas children removed from meth households last year

Wichita — The woman has been off methamphetamine for four months now. She is literally pregnant with motivation.

The 26-year-old, in recovery at a Wichita residential treatment center, expects to give birth to a son soon. In the struggle against one of the most destructive drugs, she is winning so far, a day at a time. Four months is the lon-

gest she has stayed sober while in recovery. It gives her hope, after the drug caused her to give up two other children.

plans meals and portions, and estimates what will be needed in the future. The system plays a large part in reducing waste from the start by not over-purchasing or over-producing. However, Kidwell said, the years of experience each employee has also are key.

“It’s up to the manager and production staff to try to predict how much of each item to prepare, and that information goes into the system and then the system in turn gives them recipes adjusted to that forecast and portions,” Kidwell said.

The dining halls went tray free in 2008, which has contributed to a large reduction in food waste at the source by limiting portions.

Kidwell says that because people aren’t able to pile food on a tray and less food fits on the plates, students waste less.

Since the change, dining services saw a 57 percent decrease in beverage waste, a 37 percent decrease in food waste and a 28 percent decrease in paper waste.

“Our tray-free initiative helped us reduce not only food waste, but also some energy with water and electricity by washing fewer trays,” Kidwell said.

Other ways the dining halls reduce waste at the source include donating unused food to food pantries and shelters through the Daily Bread organization and buying local produce.

Dining services also makes sure to recycle as much as possible to maintain the natural cycle and keep waste from landfills.

“By (composting and recycling) we are able to form a natural loop where the waste can go back into food production,” Severin said.

KU Dining primarily addresses food waste by composting as much as possible. Starting in 2012, the university partnered with Missouri Organic, which picks

L awrence J ournal -W orld up waste three times a week. Last year, dining services composted and recycled 480 tons of waste.

Although the base price for composting is more expensive than landfilling, composting doesn’t have the negative environmental impact landfilling does and it allows the university to maintain a natural cycle, said Eric Nelson, waste reduction manager for the Center for Sustainability.

“We are taking back the trash and returning it to the soil, which increases organic matter, pliability and just provides a nice environment,” Nelson said.

Dining services and athletics are the only departments on campus that compost, but Severin said they are looking at ways to make composting a viable option for the whole campus.

“Looking at the trash on campus, most of it is food waste, so finding reusable products is the initial step,” Severin said. “That way we can make more waste streams compostable.”

(her) tax return.”

The thing is, Hause had gotten an extension from the IRS and hadn’t yet filed her tax return, she said. After hearing reports and stories of scam emails and phone calls from con artists seeking social security numbers, she was apprehensive to comply.

“The whole thing just didn’t make sense,” Hause said. “The kicker was when it was talking about how they received my federal income tax return.”

As it turns out, the letter was real. But Hause’s instincts were still correct in that she may be a victim of a crime. According to a news release from the IRS, the government agency sends letters to taxpayers when the IRS “stops suspicious tax returns that have indications of being identity theft but contains a real taxpayer’s name and/or Social Security number.”

Real letters will indicate in the upper corner of the page that it is a Letter 5071C, and it instructs the taxpayer to either visit the IRS secure website, idverify.irs.gov, or call 1-800-8305084, a toll-free IRS telephone number. Only those who receive the letters are able to use the website.

If a taxpayer receives this letter, they should visit the website or call the phone number and they will be asked “a series of questions that only the real taxpayer can answer,” according to the news release.

After the taxpayer answers the questions and validates their identity, they are asked to confirm whether or not they did, in fact, file the tax return at issue. If the taxpayer confirms that he or she did, the IRS will continue processing the return, the news release said. If not, like Hause, the taxpayer should indicate that they did not file the return and the IRS will reject the return.

Hause said she plans to contact the IRS to explain she didn’t file the tax return form in question.

IRS spokesman Michael Devine said that these steps are taken because identity theft “remains a top priority” for the government agency. Devine said that the IRS “is focused on preventing, detecting and resolving identity theft cases” as early as possible.

“Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes nationwide, and refund fraud caused by identity theft is one of the biggest challenges facing the IRS,” Devine said.

The IRS takes identity theft cases seriously because the crime not only affects victims, but many agencies as well, according to the IRS website.

“Identity theft places a burden on its victims and presents a challenge to businesses, organizations and government agencies, including the IRS,” the web page said. “Tax-related identity theft occurs when someone uses your stolen social security number to file a tax return claiming a fraudulent refund.”

To combat identity theft, Devine said the IRS has more than 3,000 employees who focus on identity theft cases and has trained more than 35,000 employees working with taxpayers to “recognize and provide assistance when identity theft occurs.”

Once reported, the IRS is often successful in bringing the alleged identity stealers to justice. According to the IRS’s Criminal Investigation annual report published April 7, the IRS investigated 1063 identity theft cases in fiscal year 2014. Those 1063 investigations ended with 970 being recommended for prosecution. Of those 970, 896 resulted in federal indictments or charges, according to the report.

The report said many identity thefts are caused by data breaches in technology services. The IRS suggests securing your social security card your home, not giving your number to businesses or others “just because they ask,” protecting your financial information and using firewalls and antivirus software on your personal computers.

While the 5071C letter is real, Devine said taxpayers should continue to be alert to other messages that could be fraudulent.

According to the IRS, there are several warning signs that a communication is fraudulent. A few signs, listed below, are indicators of fraud, according to a March IRS news release, because the IRS will never: l Call to demand immediate payment. l Call or email about taxes owed without first mailing a bill. l Demand you to pay taxes without offering an opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.

l Require that you use a specific payment method, such as a mail-order check or prepaid debit card, to pay your taxes. l Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. l Threaten to send local police or other law enforcement to arrest to for failure to pay.

What to do The news release said if you receive a phone call from an individual claiming to be from the IRS asking you to send them money, take one of the following actions, depending on your situation: If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and IRS employees can help you through a payment issue.

If you do not owe taxes, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484 or at treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml.

“I was a Little since the fifth grade and I was in the program until I aged out at 18,” she said.

“It’s a super, super great bond you make with these people.”

Now the tables have turned.

Every day Littles in Douglas County spend time with their Bigs, going to see movies, going out for ice cream or simply hanging out in a school cafeteria.

However, there are more than 60 children in the county still waiting to be matched, Program Di-

rector Leilani Tuttle said.

“Right now our list has 41 boys and 20 girls waiting,” she said.

“We’ve got more boys coming in than girls, usually, and the girls match quicker.”

Two issues facing the program could be the yearlong time commitment asked of each Big and a lack of familiarity with the program, De la Torre Castillo said.

“Some people just don’t have the time, especially if you’re in college,” she said. “Also the program isn’t as widely known as it should be.”

Talking about race in the context of sports can serve as an inroad to a broader conversation, said Shawn Alexander, director of the LHC and KU associate professor of African and AfricanAmerican Studies.

“We can use the topic of sports as a way to get into those discussions about race and society,” he said.

The event will also include a panel discussion, moderated by Alexander, with current and former KU student-athletes and coaches.

Cattle auctions show hectic side of rural life in Kansas

By Chris Haxel The Manhattan Mercury

Manhattan — It’s the night before an auction, and cattle are beginning to arrive. Manhattan Commission Company already smells like livestock — it always does — but the back lot is also about to get loud.

The animals disembark trailers in groups of two or three, or a dozen, or more. They’re guided, or chased, directly into the vast maze of metal gates and stalls that stretches nearly 600 feet behind the auction house.

Because they are cattle, they moo. And loudly.

Through it all, co-owner John Cline is on the phone, struggling to overcome the din as he takes calls from buyers and sellers finalizing plans for the next day’s auction.

Rural life has a reputation for being unhurried, but there is no such nonchalance in Cline’s step.

Adorned in the cattleman’s uniform of blue jeans, a collared shirt and cowboy hat, his speech and movements mirror the swift staccato song of an auctioneer — in part because that’s one of his roles during the weekly Friday auction.

Ask Cline “How many classes of cattle do you sell?” — and settle in for a long answer.

“Well we sell a lot of different classes,” he said. “We’ll sell probably seven or eight classes.

We have cull cows, for example, and then you’ll sell hefeirettes, which is them young heifers that didn’t breed so you can call them a class of cattle.

Of course you sell baby calves and then you have

“

Urban growth is eating a lot of our cattle business. You know, houses encroach a little further north, a little further east. Not only in Manhattan, it’s all towns.”

— John Cline, Manhattan Commission Company co-owner steer calves and then stocker feeder which are smaller — steers are all steers — but you have lighter ones and you’ll have heavy ones so we usually break them up into two classes, like steer calves and then stocker feeder steers. And then you do the same on heifers, so that’s four classes with the steers and heifers, two of each. And then you’ll have the bred cows and then cow-calf pairs.

And then sometimes we’ll even sell breeding bulls, too. So, you just try to do anything to get along.”

It’s a routine Cline has perfected over the past 35 years, since he joined the Manhattan Commission Company in 1980.

And, although the fundamental process of buying and selling cattle is the same, much has changed in Cline’s time.

“Urban growth is eating a lot of our cattle business,” Cline said. “You know, houses encroach a little further north, a little further east. Not only in Manhattan, it’s all towns.”

The auction house, which sits along Highway 24 about a mile east of Manhattan, has been open since 1954. As the city has grown, so too has

the traffic. “From 4:40 to about 6 o’clock or so it’s pretty thick,” he said. For people pulling livestock trailers full of cattle, navigating the cars and trucks zipping along the highway’s four lanes can be treacherous.

Another problem with growth is that it pushes farms further away from the city. With other auction houses in Junction City, Clay Center, Salina and Emporia, distance becomes a factor, especially when gas prices are high, The Manhattan Mercury reports.

“But you just have to go visit with (farmers) and, really ... you have to solicit business,” Cline said. “If you just sit there and hope they drive in the door, you’re gonna lose them.

Meth CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

parents whose meth use has led to their children being removed or voluntarily turned over to others.

In Wichita and across the state, an increasing number of children have been removed because of parents’ meth use, records show.

Meth is an illegal and highly addictive chemical cocktail that gives people such euphoria that users keep pursuing the high even as the drug rots their teeth and gums, ages their faces and damages their brains. Their children suffer because their addiction causes them to cease even the most basic parenting.

Meth, which is relatively inexpensive and accessible, is sometimes called “the poor man’s cocaine.� Most meth is smuggled from Mexico, authorities say.

The recovering woman wants to keep this child and nurture him. This might be her best chance to be a meth-free mother. Godparents have been raising her two other children because of her addiction. She gave up temporary custody after her 18-month-old son licked meth residue off a spoon she used to shoot the drug into her arms. He became ill, then recovered. “That was my realization that I can’t put him through this anymore,� she said.

In the 10-county Wichita region, there has been an increase in recent years in the number of children removed for the primary reason of parents’ meth use, according to data kept by the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

Through the first eight months of the current fiscal year, the number of removals is 34 and on pace to end up at around 50, The Wichita Eagle reports.

Statewide, in the last full fiscal year, 252 children were removed, compared with 111 four years earlier, when the main reason was parental meth use, DCF records show. The number is down so far this current fiscal year, in part because of a different method for counting primary reasons for removal, said DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed.

In about one-fifth of the cases statewide last year, parental substance abuse, including meth, was the primary reason children were removed from homes. Substance abuse was a secondary reason in another one-fifth of the cases statewide, DCF records show.

There also is anecdotal evidence of increased meth use. In Johnson County, it is not unusual for three out of four parents to test positive for meth after coming to court for hearings a few days after their children are taken into protective custody, said Don Hymer, an assistant district attorney who heads the office’s juvenile division. “So they’re so hooked they can’t stop even though they know in a couple days� they are due in court and face testing, Hymer said.

Meth’s impact on children played out recently at a south Wichita home, where police said they took four children into protective custody after they tested positive for the drug. The mother of the children, who range in age from 2 to 12, said she doesn’t use meth around her children or let others do so. DCF doesn’t track how many children test positive for meth.

In Wichita, child abuse pediatrician Kerri Weeks said she has seen a significant increase in the past two years in child abuse related to parental meth use. “These children have been physically abused and severely neglected,�

Weeks said in an email. “Many of the children have developmental delays and behavioral problems.� Several children have been treated in an intensive care unit for meth intoxication

. or ingestion, she said.

Children can get exposed to meth by touching it or inhaling the secondhand smoke, experts say.

Kids can be vulnerable even if the parent doesn’t use meth in front of them, Weeks said. The granular or powdery residue gets on counter tops, tables, carpets, bedding and curtains and “can be absorbed through the child’s skin as they crawl and cruise around the home, or even cuddle a stuffed animal,� she said.

At Wichita Children’s Home, Erin Teeter deals directly with younger children who have been removed from their homes after being affected by meth. Babies born addicted to meth often have tremors, said Teeter, foster care director at the Children’s Home. They act hyperactive, irritable. “Trying to comfort a baby who is overstimulated by your touch is very difficult,�

Teeter said.

In meth homes, the person who should be loving often succumbs to paranoia brought on by the drug. The adults flip from one mood to another and lash out, Teeter said. “That’s a home that’s very dangerous to live in because you’re walking on eggshells,� she said. It’s almost as if children are lucky if the worst is neglect rather than beatings, she said.

Prosecutors and health officials say that where there is meth, there is crime and abuse. In 2012, 18-month-old Jayla Haag was living with her mother and her mother’s boyfriend at an El Dorado apartment that has been described as a meth house. Evidence showed that the little girl died from a brutal beating, that some of her teeth were forcibly removed.

She tested positive for meth. The boyfriend and mother were convicted in her death.

Parents can become so focused on their drug that they can’t do basic supervision, provide meals or make sure their children get to school, said Sandra Lessor, an assistant district attorney in Sedgwick County who handles childin-need-of-care cases.

In the recovery world, addicts are supposed to take what is known as a “fearless moral inventory� of themselves: to be brutally honest about who they are and what they have done.

The 26-year-old pregnant meth addict says she grew up being exposed to the drug.

The Eagle is not using her name because anonymity is important to her recovery.

She is a resident at Women’s Recovery Center of Central Kansas, a nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment provider near Seneca and Harry. Of 71 clients served by the center last year, the biggest number by far — 40 — said meth was their substance of choice, said program coordinator Rachal Harper.

Sitting at a table with a reporter on Thursday, the woman methodically described her childhood.

When she was 11, she was gang-raped. When she was 12, she got high on meth for the first time.

She took care in the words she used, sometimes pausing, painstakingly describing what happened and how it affected her.

She summed it up in two words: “meth chaos.�

She recounted how, when she was 12, she took a bag of meth powder from her mother’s partner, causing him to point a gun at her mother and accuse her of stealing his dope. Later, the girl handed her mother the stolen powder.

The girl’s motive for stealing was simple: “I was hungry.�

The powder brought $180; her mother gave her $30 of it and used the rest to get the cable turned back on and buy “lots of mac and cheese.� Her mother seemed proud that she had been an enterprising thief.

Over the years, the girl

She spent $8,000 on meth in two months. She shot so much meth that she lost 150 pounds, down from 243. She continued to waste away, to 83 pounds. “You could just pick my skin up, and you could probably rip it,� she said. The emaciated result left her looking 10 years older.

She looks in the mirror now and sees a healthy young woman.

Her meth use wasn’t constant. She used it in “sprees,� at times leaning on alcohol.

She jumped back hard onto meth after a devastating disappointment, when she came close to getting her associate degree but failed.

She had wanted to be an occupational therapist. With her dream smashed, she felt she couldn’t cope without meth.

Her medical training made her adept at using a syringe to inject meth into her arms. IV use was different, she said, describing it as “like you’re floating. You have no care in the world.�

Now after four months of sobriety, she is determined. “I don’t want to be homeless again,� she said, tapping the table for emphasis. “I don’t want to have to sleep with someone just to get high.�

There was a time when her skill with a syringe drew users to her. They wanted her to shoot them up. Once, a man aimed a small black pistol at her and ordered her to plunge the needle into him. She purposely missed his vein and told him to pull the trigger, because she had already given up her children and didn’t care what happened.

Her arms still bear scars where she put the needle to herself over and over. She wears long sleeves, even in hot weather, to cover the

marks.

She is on probation for meth possession. She knows her determination to stay sober can’t end with the birth of her son. So she has learned to manage her craving for meth, to control the “triggers� that make her want to use. One trigger: her mother.

Her recovery has brought her to a new place: “I actually am going to raise a child on my own with no man involved, which is actually a first for me. I’ve come to realize that I’m codependent.�

She has decided not to feel sorry for herself. “You know what? People get raped every day,� she said. “It’s time to move on, let go.�

In her new life, she walks to her job because she doesn’t have a working car.

Part of her moral inventory involves being honest about her past attempts at motherhood. Her decision to let her other children go to their godparents was the “most selfless thing I’ve done in my addiction,� she said, because she couldn’t care for them at the time.

Now they are nurtured.

When she had her other children and was using, her drive for meth was so strong, she would put them in the living room with snacks and turn on the TV, then lock herself in the bathroom and shoot up.

Her baby is due April 25.

She’s on maternity leave, still living at the recovery center and arranging housing for herself and her son. “Honestly, I’m afraid to leave� the center, she said. “They’re my support system.�

Because of the meth conviction, she is a felon, and that will likely keep her from an occupational therapy or a medical career, she said.

There will be time to plan the rest of her life. “Right now,� she said, “it’s just baby steps.�

front of them as they await the auction’s 10 a.m. start.

The crowd is thin for the first several cull cows, animals that are no longer profitable and thus undesirable — a fact confirmed by their low sale prices of about $100.

The auction begins with a clang, as a metal gate slides upward, connecting an outside pen with the inside pit. In rushes an old cow, bewildered as it quickly explores the metal enclosure. Two men with poles poke and prod the animal, encouraging it to turn in circles so buyers can see its whole body. After about 30 frantic seconds, another metal gate slides upward.

The animal — detecting an escape route — runs through the newly opened tunnel and back outside.

Almost simultaneously, another cow rushes in from the first gate.

Over the next several hours, the process is repeated hundreds of times.

Some cattle are frantic,

By the end of the day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of cattle have been bought or sold. Cline expected about $2 million to change hands on a recent Friday. The auction company receives a commission on most of the sales.

Once the auction ends, buyers load their trailers with newly purchased cattle and drive home to places as close as Wamego, and as far as Oklahoma or Nebraska. The process can last long into the night, and cleanup begins almost immediately — mud and manure is shoveled away, replaced with fresh sawdust and wood chips.

But Cline is back at work, because he has five short days to round up buyers and sellers for the next auction — assuming there isn’t a special sale earlier in the week. “Markets go up and markets go down,� Cline said. “Every day is a different day, believe it or not. You’re always at the mercy of who walks in the door.�

Step 2: Paper wasps are very beneficial for gardeners. They eat problematic caterpillars and beetle larvae. Paper wasps can be identified by their umbrellashaped honeycombed nest made from paper like pulp material.

Unless the nest is too close for comfort, leave paper wasps unharmed to benefit plants, trees and shrubs in the area.

Remove inactive nests by knocking them down with a broom or long handle tool. Burn the nest or dispose of it away from the home.

Before removing active nests, spray them at night with a foaming wasp spray or douse them with soapy water.

Step 3: Hornets and yellow jackets are the most aggressive com-

mon wasps. Hornets build bag-like nests that hang from tree branches or under eaves. Yellow jackets tend to build their nests underground, usually in abandoned rodent nests. Care must be taken when trying to eliminate yellow jackets or hornets. The entire colony will attack when one or more of their members are provoked.

Spray these nests from a distance with a good quality wasp and hornet insecticide. Spray in the early morning or late evening, when the temperatures are lower.

Consider professional help for large active nests.

Step 4: Wasps are attracted to both meats and sweets. Keep trash cans closed and beverages covered when outside. Clean up barbecue grills and utensils after each use. Avoid flowery perfumes and brightly colored clothing that may be mistaken for garden flowers by hungry wasps.

Fiber CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A

Bosch said the company, though, certainly is still interested in the Lawrence market. It could raise additional capital to expand in Lawrence, but Bosch said it was becoming difficult for RG Fiber to reserve capital for a Lawrence project without knowing when the city may act on RG’s request. Bosch said the process in Lawrence, thus far, has taken about a year longer than he anticipated.

Lawrence city commissioners met on Jan. 27 about a fiber policy that would have cleared a path for the city to sign a lease agreement with RG Fiber. The policy was recommended for approval by both the city’s own staff and also by a city-hired consultant.

Commissioners, though, delayed a vote on the policy, but indicated it wanted to have the issue brought back up in the next several weeks.

Bosch said he hasn’t received any substantive update from city officials on the fiber policy since that late January meeting.

“I really believe the elections and the questions surrounding the commission just overtook the fiber policy,” Bosch said. “It just never made it back to the agenda.”

Now, three new commissioners have taken seats on the five-member City Commission. Bosch said he hopes the new commission will consider approving the fiber policy soon.

“I really do still want to work with Lawrence,” Bosch said.

As for more details about the potential agreement with Eudora, Bosch said he didn’t want to comment on that agreement until it was finalized.

Brownback’s welfare hero is listed on state payroll Topeka (ap) — A woman often cited by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration as a success story of a former welfare recipient is working as a temporary state employee.

Valerie Cahill, whom the Republican governor mentioned in his State of the State address — and who also spoke at the signing ceremony of a bill creating additional restrictions on those receiving cash assistance — is listed on the state employee database as an employee of the agency that crafted the welfare reforms and administers the job training program.

Theresa Freed, a spokeswoman for the Department for Children and Families, said in an email to the Wichita Eagle that Cahill, a Kansas City, Kan., resident, is a full-time temporary employee of the department working in a program helping needy families with energy expenses.

Cahill spoke alongside the governor and DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore on Thursday at the signing of a bill that

Woman won’t say what job she does for agency that crafted recent welfare changes would bar welfare recipients from spending their cash assistance on a long list of things, including swimming pools, tattoos, alcohol and movie theaters.

The bill also sets a lifetime limit of 36 months to receive cash assistance and requires able-bodied adults to participate in a job training program or work 20 hours a week in order to qualify for benefits.

“As is in the circle of life, we can’t carry our children forever. We eventually need to put them down and move freely,” Cahill said in a speech at the bill’s signing ceremony. “That’s what the work programs are for. They are to help us get on our feet, so we can move and do something better for ourselves.”

At Gilmore’s prompting, Cahill also told a story about how with the money from her pay-

check she was able to buy her son a cello.

Neither Cahill nor Gilmore offered details about Cahill’s job, and after the ceremony Cahill declined to say what she does. She did say she began working in late November after 11 months on public assistance and that her current position was “state-related.”

Freed said in the emailed statement that neither Cahill nor another former welfare recipient who now works for the department and spoke in favor of the reforms were “in any way forced to speak or support the legislation.”

The department has said the job-requirement policies, which were in effect before the signing, have resulted in more than 6,000 people finding jobs. Freed said the agency does not track which of those jobs are in the private or public sector.

Ex-Kansas lawmaker faces fraud sentencing Wichita (ap) — A former Kansas legislator is due to be sentenced for defrauding a bank to help fund his political activities in a federal case that highlights the state’s lax state campaign finance laws.

Former Republican state Rep. Trent LeDoux, 41, of Holton, pleaded guilty to bank fraud last May and agreed to pay $465,100 under a deal with federal prosecutors. The charge carries a maximum sen-

tence of up to 30 years in prison, but the LeDoux is likely to get little, if any, prison time at his hearing today in Topeka due to sentencing guidelines.

The hearing was postponed several times because LeDoux was being treated for several health issues, including cancer.

His attorney, J. Richard Lake, asked the federal court for leniency, saying LeDoux’s health problems would be easier to

treat if he were sentenced to home detention rather than in prison. Lake didn’t respond to a phone message seeking comment.

LeDoux was appointed to fill a House vacancy in May 2011 following the death of fellow Republican Rocky Fund. He lost his seat in the Republican primary in August 2012, when the lines of his House seat were redrawn and he was defeated by Rep. Richard Carlson of St. Marys.

Caution due A plan to waive certain teacher licensing requirements demands careful scrutiny by the state.

T

he Kansas State Board of Education is being rightfully cautious about approving a plan to allow some school districts to bypass teacher licensing regulations.

Last week, the board discussed, but didn’t act on, a proposal to allow the state’s six “innovative districts” to hire teachers who don’t meet the state’s licensing requirements. The six districts — Blue Valley, Concordia, Hugoton, Kansas City, Marysville and McPherson — are part of an initiative approved in 2013 that allows them to seek exemptions from certain state laws so they can pursue less traditional approaches to improving student achievement. Being able to hire teachers who don’t meet current licensing standards, those districts contended, might help rural districts recruit teachers and give larger districts more flexibility in hiring teachers to increase education quality. The teachers still would have to pass a background check and be approved by the local and state school boards.

The innovative districts are charged with trying new ways of doing education, but waiving teacher licensing requirements is a step that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Teaching is a profession, like many others, that requires specific skills and training. Even a person who’s a “natural” teacher may not be prepared to meet all the demands of a modern classroom. Fifteen people spoke in opposition to the districts’ proposal, including teachers, parents and representatives of university education programs. They accurately noted that the state wouldn’t consider lowering standards to address a shortage in doctors, lawyers or plumbers, so why would it be appropriate for teachers who interact with and help shape the future of the state’s children?

Although the board took no action last week, this proposal likely will be back.

Board members criticized the innovative districts for crafting their proposal without collaborating with other state stakeholders like those represented at the meeting, and the districts agreed to invite additional input as they revisit their plans.

The profession of teaching too often isn’t afforded the respect that it deserves. Teaching and nurturing children with many different backgrounds and skill levels is a major challenge that requires teachers to use a broad range of educational approaches and research that are part of their professional training. There may be a place for teachers who don’t have all the training to meet state licensing requirements, but the state board is right to make sure they aren’t doing anything that will diminish the quality of K-12 education in the state.

Raisin case raises regulatory wrinkle Washington — In oral arguments Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear the government defend its kleptocratic behavior while administering an indefensible law. The Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 is among the measures by which New Dealers tried and failed to regulate and mandate America back to prosperity. Seventy-eight years later, it is the government’s reason for stealing Marvin and Laura Horne’s raisins.

New Dealers had bushels of theories, including this: In a depression, prices fall, so a recovery will occur when government compels prices to stabilize above where a free market would put them.

So FDR’s “brains trust” produced “price stabilization” programs by which the government would fine-tune the supply of and demand for various commodities.

In 1949, this regulatory itch was institutionalized in the Raisin Administrative Committee. Today it wants the Hornes to ante up about $700,000. They could instead have turned over more than 1 million pounds of raisins — at least four years of their production.

They have been refusing to comply with a “marketing order” to surrender, without compensation, a portion of their production for the RAC’s raisin “reserve.” The Hornes say this order constitutes an unconstitutional taking.

The Fifth Amendment says private property shall not “be taken for public use,

Perhaps the phrase ‘public use’ is now elastic enough to encompass the seizure of raisins for the purpose of combating the Depression that ended a while ago.

Or for maintaining an ‘orderly’ raisin market.” without just compensation.”

Time was, “for public use” meant for creating things — roads, bridges, dams, courthouses — used by the general public. In 1954, “public use” was broadened to allow government to take property to combat “blight,” thereby enabling “urban renewal.” Then in the infamous 2005 Kelo decision, the Supreme Court held, 5-4, that government could seize a person’s private property for the “public use” of giving it to another private party that would, by developing it, pay more taxes to the seizing government.

Perhaps the phrase “public use” is now elastic enough to encompass the seizure of raisins for the purpose of combating the Depression

that ended a while ago. Or for maintaining an “orderly” raisin market. The Supreme Court must decide whether the government has inflicted on the Hornes an uncompensated taking.

Takings Clause jurisprudence is quite recondite. The government, however, says two contradictory things. It says the Hornes “acquired” raisins and hence must either surrender a large portion of them — in some years, 47 percent — or pay huge fines.

But it also says the Hornes do not have sufficient ownership of the raisins to raise constitutional objections.

The government says the Hornes voluntarily entered their raisins into the stream of commerce, so they must comply with the RAC’s raisin reserve requirement. But the Supreme Court has hitherto rejected the idea that a person must give a portion of his property to the government in order to purchase the government’s permission to engage in a lawful business transaction, such as selling a commodity. The government says its required contributions to the raisin reserve merely regulates raisin sales.

The Hornes say it is not a mere regulation, it is an expropriation.

The government says it owes the Hornes nothing in exchange for the raisins they supposedly owe it, because they somehow benefit from the government’s manipulation of the raisin market. The Hornes say it would be unconstitutional for the government to come on their land

to confiscate their raisins or the proceeds from their raisin sales, so it is unconstitutional to fine them for not complying with an unconstitutional requirement.

Justice Elena Kagan has wondered whether this case involves “a taking or it’s just the world’s most outdated law.” The answer is: Both.

The law has spawned more than 25 “marketing orders” covering almonds, apricots, avocados, cherries, cranberries, dates, grapes, hazelnuts, kiwifruit, onions, pears, pistachios, plums, spearmint oil, walnuts and other stuff.

Government sprawl and meddlesomeness mock the idea that government is transparent. There are not enough cells in the human brain to enable Americans to know more than a wee fraction of what their government is up to. If they did know, they would know something useful — how much of what government does is a compound of the simply silly and the slightly sinister. The silly: Try to imagine the peril from which we are protected because the government maintains a spearmint oil reserve.

The sinister: The government is bullying and stealing property in order to maintain programs that make Americans pay higher commodity prices than a free market would set.

Progressives say, “Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.” That is not how the Hornes are experiencing government.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 20, 1915: years “The meeting of ago the City CommisIN 1915 sioners was long and drawn out this morning and various phases of business were considered.

A committee of the Douglas county good roads association appeared before the commission and asked why repairs on the streets leading in to Lawrence had not been made. The street to the country club is in a very bad condition and some of the other streets leading to town need repair.”

— Compiled by Sarah St. John

PUBLIC FORUM

Money talks LAWRENCE

7A

To the editor: I’m a grandmother who has lived in Kansas longer than anywhere else. I am deeply distressed about what is happening to our beloved Kansas. Not “Big Government” but “Big Corporations” appear to have overtaken it. Unlimited and undisclosed amounts of money flow to politicians’ campaign funds, corporate income taxes are cut, corporate interests and values are imposed on our state.

Unlimited corporate election money predictably and endlessly elects politicians who listen to their donors rather than us voters. As voters learn that “Big Money” speaks with a louder voice than they will ever have, demoralization and apathy sets in; voter participation drops. Big Money has won.

The Legislature feels entitled to make disastrous decisions without even debating them. Gun laws are expanded; education, infrastructure, civil and voting rights are curtailed. Educators are told how to teach and physicians how to practice medicine. The poor are obligated to jump through ever more

hoops to prove they “deserve’” dwindling financial help from the state. Some legislation is so absurd, it’s laughed at on national television! When Big Corporate Money rules, we stop being a democracy; we become a plutocracy.

What to do? We must demand to know who funds our politicians’ campaigns, just as we demand to know politicians’ income taxes.

To keep corporations and national PACs from “buying” legislators in our Statehouse, we the people must ask for full disclosure of donors and donations.

If they refuse to disclose, they won’t get our vote.

This will be the beginning of “we the people” taking our state back.

Regine Benalcazar, Lawrence

Hundreds fleeing Libya to Europe may have perished Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

European officials will hold an emergency meeting today to confront a growing humanitarian crisis after the presumed deaths Sunday of hundreds of people aboard a smuggler’s boat.

The boat, carrying up to 950 people fleeing Libya’s coast for Europe, capsized in what could be the Mediterranean’s deadliest migrant disaster. Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat called it the “biggest human tragedy of the last few years.”

Survivor accounts about the number of people on board varied from 700 to 950, the Associated Press reported. On Sunday, 28 survivors and 24 bodies were pulled from the water, Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said.

There’s no turning back on gay marriage In poll, majority say it’s no longer practical for court to ban unions

Gay-pride flags fly at the Supreme Court, which next week will hear oral arguments on cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court hears arguments next week in a landmark case on gay marriage, but most Americans already have made up their minds: There’s no turning back.

In a nationwide USA TODAY/ Suffolk University Poll, those surveyed say by 51%-35% that it’s no longer practical for the Supreme Court to ban same-sex marriages because so many states have legalized them. One reason for a transformation in public views on the issue: Close to half say they

Kraig Ziegler, 58, of Flagstaff, Ariz., acknowledged being a bit uncomfortable when he attended a wedding reception for two men, friends of his wife, who had mar-

ried. “I still believe what the Bible says, ‘one man, one woman,’ ” the mechanic, who was among those polled, said in a follow-up interview. On the other hand, he said, “I got to know the guys, and they’re all right. They don’t make passes or anything at me.”

Now he calls himself undecided on the issue.

In the survey, a majority, 51%35%, favor allowing gay men and lesbians to marry, and those who support the idea feel more strongly about it than those who oppose it: 28% “strongly favor” same-sex marriage, 18% “strongly oppose” it. Fourteen percent are undecided.

“Everybody has a right to get married and be unhappy,” jokes Joann Fleming, 65, of Los Angeles. She’s divorced.

The poll of 1,000 people, taken by land line and cellphone April 8-13, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In the Senate, with a new GOP majority, some 202 amendments — 97 from Republicans and 105 from Democrats — were considered by roll call or voice vote, or

BPC member and former senator Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said the amendment process in particular is “extremely vital to the institution” finding legislative solutions and encouraging across-the-aisle relationships.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, have pledged to refocus the legislative process around “regular order,” the process by which legislation is intended to move through Congress.

The smallest refugees: I was one of them Thuan Le Elston @thuanelston USA TODAY

April 30, 1975, just about 40 years ago. On a U.S. military base in Guam, in a Quonset hut my family has been sharing with two dozen other families since we fled South Vietnam a week before, the bunk beds are filled with people listening to my father translate a BBC radio announcement: Saigon, our nation’s capital, has fallen to northern communists. No one makes a sound. Not even a gasp.

Then a child starts sobbing. Dad says, “Maybe the adults have no more tears.”

The spell breaks. While some stay in their beds and stare into space, others drift outside toward the cafeteria that by then was serving 20,000 refugees. It’s lunch time after all. What else is there to say? Everyone’s exhausted. As a song sums up Vietnamese history until then: A thousand years enslaved by the Chinese enemy; a hundred years dominated by the French; 20 years of daily civil war — a mother’s legacy I leave for you.

My parents had been born in the north, and their families were among a million who fled when the country was divided into communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The Battle

of Dien Bien Phu ended French colonialization in 1954, but our civil war just exploded — with both sides manipulating U.S. politicians, financial aid and military forces.

Of the 3 million servicemembers Washington sent to Vietnam, 60,000 died and 150,000 were wounded (including my future father-in-law).

For the Vietnamese on both sides, 4 million soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded.

left in 1973, but American diplomats, security units and journalists stayed till the end. Dad, a former South Vietnamese lieutenant fluent in several languages, was managing editor of an English-language weekly; he told my mother to begin preparations to flee Saigon. In his youth in the north, Dad had wanted to join the nationalist Vietminh to end French colonialization, but when it turned communist, he lost all illusions.

Both his and Mom’s families abandoned homes and businesses in 1954 because they didn’t want to live under communism.

My parents now realized they’d have to do it again.

By 1975, I was in third grade, the eldest of five. South Vietnam’s president resigned April 21. Early next morning, packed with photos, a change of clothing for each of us and all of $20 U.S., we taxied to the airport. We spent all day standing in line and got on a Pentagon cargo jet about 9 p.m. After our C-130 was in the air, American soldiers went around shining flashlights out the windows. When Dad asked why, they said that we had been shot at, but that the darkness helped so only the wings were nicked.

We spent a night at a U.S. military base in the Philippines, sleeping on air mattresses with thousands of other refugees.

Then a week in Guam and a month north of San Diego at Camp Pendleton, one of four

U.S. bases assigned refugee duty.

When we arrived that May, Pentagon records show, Camp Pendleton had 18,000 Vietnamese living in eight “tent cities.”

My family of seven was assigned to city No. 8, tent 88, which we shared with several other families. By the time the operation closed five months later, Camp Pendleton had aided more than 50,000 immigrants.

We were among a million Vietnamese who fled over two decades after the war ended, one of the largest exoduses in modern times. Hundreds of thousands, known as boat people, chose to face the open sea and pirates rather than stay in Vietnam. Those who survived lived for years in refugee camps in Southeast Asia before relocating to new homes.

Children are living in refugee camps again. The world is seeing its largest refugee crisis since World War II. Fighting in Syria, Yemen and other torn nations has displaced tens of millions of people.

When I see pictures of kids staring out of a refugee tent, I can’t turn away. I’ve been there, sleeping on a military cot, playing outside as much as possible to escape my traumatized parents’ forced smiles. Forty years later, an American with children of my own, I still recognize myself in those refugee eyes.

views on gays and lesbians during their lifetimes — but there also is a huge generation gap. Six in 10 of those 18 to 34 support the idea, compared with fewer than four in 10 of those 65 and older. And there continue to be conflicted views and some bitter divisions.

While nearly six in 10 Americans oppose a law that would allow people to refuse to provide business services to a same-sex wedding, those on both sides of that debate are concerned about the consequences of balancing respect for religious freedom with support for civil rights.

Next week, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear 2½ hours of oral arguments on cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee that turn on whether gay and lesbian partners have a constitutional right to marry, or whether states have the right to ban the practice. A ruling is likely before the high court’s term ends in late June.

Thirty-six states and the District of Columbia now allow same-sex marriages.

CLASH OF RIGHTS

As more states allow same-sex marriage, disputes have grown over whether individuals and businesses should have the right to refuse to provide services for a gay wedding if they have religious objections.

By almost 2-1, 58%-31%, those surveyed say they shouldn’t. Indeed, more than a third of those who oppose gay marriage also oppose a law that would allow people to cite religious reasons for refusing, say, to provide flowers

or catering for a same-sex couple.

A firestorm erupted last month when Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican, signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which said the government could not “substantially burden” a person’s ability to follow their religious beliefs. Amid protests that the law would open the door to discrimination against gays, the state hurriedly enacted a follow-up provision that banned use of the law to defend discrimination

based on sexual orientation.

“It’s nobody’s right to say, ‘This is right or this is wrong’ or exclude a certain group of people,” says Ashley Williams, 25, an elementary school teacher from Durham, N.C. “Just because they’re gay doesn’t mean they’re any less human.”

If a local business refused to provide services to a same-sex wedding — say, the rental of a reception hall — she says she’d be inclined to refuse to patronize

the business herself.

But others disagree. “It’s in the eyes of God,” says Robert Robilliad, 61, a postal worker from Sagamore, Mass., who opposes gay marriage on religious grounds.

“A business, they should be allowed to do whatever they want to do without being tormented by higher-ups,” says Virginia Roberts, 85, of Holland, Ohio, who has retired from her job as the secretary at a spark-plug company. She doesn’t think gay marriages should be permitted, but she worries that the die on that already has been cast.

Most Americans don’t see the issue as being black-and-white: uNearly two-thirds, 63%, are concerned that a law requiring businesses to provide services to same-sex weddings would force those involved to go against their religious beliefs or pay a penalty.

Even among those who support gay marriage, 17% support a law giving people the right to refuse. uAbout the same number, 64%, are concerned that a law allowing people to refuse such services on religious grounds would discriminate against gay men and lesbians. Even among those who oppose gay marriage, 37% also oppose a law giving people the right to refuse.

Americans believe discrimination against gay men and lesbians continues to be widespread: 28% say there is “a great deal” of discrimination; another 44% say there is “some.” Fifteen percent say there is “only a little,” and 9% see none at all.

CAMPAIGN DIVISIONS

The issue is sure to flare during the 2016 presidential campaign.

IN BRIEF ARRESTS MADE AGAINST PURPORTED TERROR RING

Federal agents took several people into custody in Minneapolis and San Diego on Sunday as part of a joint terrorism task force investigation, reports said.

U.S. attorney Andrew Luger said authorities executed near-simultaneous arrests in the two cities, MPRNews.org reported.

ABC News said at least six people were expected to be taken into custody.

The arrests come as the FBI has been trying to identify who has been recruiting young men and women in Minneapolis to join ISIL in Syria and Iraq. In December, federal prosecutors in Minneapolis called the recruitment pipeline “a longstanding criminal conspiracy with members known and unknown.”

MPR said a Somali woman, which it did not name, said her two sons were arrested after the FBI arrived at her house around noon. One of her sons was arrest-

DISSIDENTS LOSE IN HISTORIC LOCAL ELECTIONS IN CUBA

Two government opponents who ran in local municipal elections conceded defeat on Sunday, BBC reported.

The Shroud of Turin is on display for the first time in five years in Turin, Italy. Many believe it is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

Hildebrando Chaviano, an independent journalist and lawyer, and Yuniel Lopez, a member of an outlawed political party, the Independent and Democratic Cuba Party, had been running for places on local councils in Havana. Their election would have been unprecedented in Cuba’s single-party system.

Chaviano and Lopez told foreign press agencies they thought the government was caught off guard by the strength of their support in the opening round

Like half of the 27,000 candidates for municipal posts, the two were selected by a show of hands in a local neighborhood meeting.

The final round of the elections was held on Sunday by secret vote, and there was no campaigning, BBC said.

VIDEO PURPORTS TO SHOW ISIL KILLING CHRISTIANS

A video purporting to show the killing of Ethiopian Christians by Islamic State-affiliated militants in Libya was released online. The 29-minute video appears to show militants holding captives, one by an affiliate in eastern Libya known as Barka Province and the other by the Fazzan Province, an affiliate in the south. A masked fighter wielding a pistol says Christians must convert to Islam or pay a special tax prescribed by the Quran. The video then shows the captives in the south being shot dead and the captives in the east beheaded on a beach.

Democrat Hillary Clinton last week said for the first time that she hopes the Supreme Court rules in favor of a constitutional right to marry, a stance at odds with the Republican field.

GOP hopeful Rick Santorum said he would refuse even to attend the gay wedding of a family member or close friend. But Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, also a prospective 2016 Republican contender, told reporters in New Hampshire on Saturday that he already had attended a reception for the same-sex wedding of a family member. “That’s certainly a personal issue,” he said.

Republican voters haven’t been immune to the changes in public opinion toward same-sex unions and how the high court should rule.

While a majority in the GOP still oppose gay marriage, they are more closely divided on the issue than Democrats, who overwhelmingly support them.

“Even among the swatch of Fox News viewers ... 30% either strongly favor or favor gay marriage,” says David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University’s Political Research Center. “This year’s crop of Republican presidential hopefuls ... must play to a wide spectrum of differences under the GOP tent.”

NATION/WORLD Boston Marathon different as Danger, Tsarnaev awaits sentencing peril mark journey G. Jeffrey MacDonald @gjmacdonald USA TODAY

Thousands of runners and fans are scheduled to line up today for the Boston Marathon, just as they’ve done here since 1897. But this year is markedly different because one thing is coloring all else: the ongoing federal trial of Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Tsarnaev was convicted on all 30 counts against him in the 2013 Marathon bombings, but he has not yet been sentenced. On Tuesday, the region’s eyes turn back to federal court, where the penalty phase begins. The same jury that convicted him on April 8 will decide whether he gets the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Against the trial’s weighty backdrop, today’s event offers a welcome reprieve from wounds reopened in recent testimony.

BOSTON

“This year is more hopeful. This is kind of our first step toward getting back to normal.”

Jack Byrne, Boston resident

The race has taken on fresh resonance as a symbol of hope and peace for a world scarred all too frequently by terrorism.

“Last year was more defiant,” said Jack Byrne of Boston, recalling how the city refused to cancel its marathon despite fears of the potential for more attacks. “This year is more hopeful. This is kind of our first step toward getting back to normal.”

Tsarnaev’s trial is helping to make the event feel safe again, according to Byrne, a 28-year-old guitar teacher who vividly remembers heeding a citywide mandate to stay indoors during

the manhunt.

“If he’s the guy and he’s convicted, then I guess that makes it feel a little bit more safe,” Byrne said.

Legacies of the 2013 bombings are everywhere. At dozens of checkpoints installed last year to seal off entire sections of the course, guards will again be searching bags and patting down spectators. New measures have taken effect, including a prohibition on drones anywhere along the 26.2-mile course.

Bostonians say their iconic marathon, which draws runners from 86 countries, has not been diminished by the extra precautions. The field of runners has swelled to 30,000, up from the normal standard of 27,000, and some 2,000 were turned away because of space constraints. Runners and spectators are expected to pump $182 million into the local economy. That represents a 33% increase since before the bombings.

What’s more, the trial hasn’t tainted the event, Bostonians say.

On the contrary, the ability to run and cheer shows the city’s true colors as “compassionate and resilient, not revengeful,” according to Dan Lebowitz, executive director of the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University.

“We’re not typified by a punitive nature” in Boston, Lebowitz said. “We always see some sort of path to redemption.”

Boston can use the refreshment that comes with the marathon, an annual event held on Patriots’ Day, a state holiday on the third Monday of April. Record snowfall, bitter cold and public transit failures made for an especially harsh winter in Massachusetts. Then in March came daily news reports from the federal courthouse, where graphic images showed bodies torn apart in April 2013. Amputees told of excruciating pain and lives forever changed.

Migrants recount desperate trek across Mediterranean Sea Eric J. Lyman

Special for USA TODAY LAMPEDUSA , ITALY The crossing from Africa to Europe in crowded boats plying through the Mediterranean is a harrowing experience that too often ends in death.

Yet refugees who decide to make the journey often have no idea what lies ahead.

“They don’t tell you anything about the trip being so difficult,” Raage Hassan, a 19-year-old Somalian said of agents who sell spots on makeshift vessels for the crossing. “Sometimes you hear things from people who made it.

But the agents just tell you it will be fine. It’s not fine.”

The dangers were tragically highlighted Sunday, when a boat crammed with migrants seeking refuge from war and poverty in African and the Middle East capsized off the Libyan coast, 130 miles from here. Hundreds of passengers may have drowned, nearly doubling the death toll so far this year.

Hassan and other migrants who made the voyage talked about their frightening experiences on this tiny southern Italian island that is the most common arrival point for refugees landing in Europe.

Underestimating the tumultuous voyage makes it worse, said Hassan, whose journey took him from Somalia to Kenya, then to South Sudan, Sudan, and finally Libya, before landing in Lampedusa. “There’s not a lot to eat and sometimes you don’t sleep. You have to sneak around. Then you get pushed onto a crowded boat.

“There is vomit. Kids cry. Everyone is scared. You have no idea how long it will be,” he said.

And there are the trips that end in death. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees says that over the last two years, the percentage of refugees who die making the crossing has more than doubled from around 2% to 5% of a rapidly growing number of refugees. About 60,000 made the crossing in 2013, increasing to at least 219,000 last year. Some estimates put the number this year at as many as half a million.

Hassan and other migrants said their long trips from home involved stops in three to six countries before landing in Europe. All told, the journey can take one to three months, with expenses that add up to between $1,000 and $5,000.

The higher number equals as much as a decade’s wages for an average worker in countries such as Somalia, Eritrea and Mali, where many were born.

“You don’t do this because you want to,” said Lasina Dumbia, 18, who arrived in Lampedusa from his native Mali. “You do it because you have no other choice. It is desperation. There is nothing if you stay behind.”

20 community-college students recognized Many overcome struggles while pursuing degree Patrick Foster USA TODAY

Staying focused enough to balance classes, extracurricular activities and a social life over four years is no easy task for students at traditional colleges, many of whom enjoy the support of parents and family members.

For the 20 students chosen for the 2015 All-USA Community College Academic Team, “just” dealing with college would be simple. Overcoming drug addiction, parenting, living through years of abuse and struggling as immigrants and first-generation college students are just a few of

the challenges the students are dealing with while pursuing a degree.

And in many cases, a lifelong dream.

The program serves “people in need who are often invisible in a community,” Ware says, especially those who feel isolated and may be too embarrassed to ask for help.

Fifteen employees from Anytime Fitness, a Fountain Hills gym, teamed up at the home of Maureen Kelley, who has Par-

“It wasn’t only the help they gave me, but the emotional lift,” Kelley says. “I know they really cared.”

Bob Kinder, an 89-year-old who has been confined to a wheelchair since suffering two broken hips, was similarly grateful.

Volunteers built a wheelchair ramp, enabling him to go out to his own mailbox for the first time in six years. “They were so friendly, and they worked real hard,” Kinder said.

Greece, China and inflation add to angst Adam Shell USA TODAY

If you don’t like stock market volatility, the suddenly topsy-turvy market may give you pause.

Fresh anxiety provoked by fresh troubles in debt-strapped Greece and new trading rules in China sparked a wave of selling on Wall Street on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average down 280 points to 17,826 and erasing its 2015 gains. As traders enter the new week, they will again wrestle with a trio of new

headwinds that could test their resolve.

What’s behind the recent angst? USA TODAY got some answers from Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network.

Here are three things making investors nervous.

1. INFLATION AND THE FED

The consumer price index ticked up to 1.8% in March from a year ago, and rose 2% monthover-month for the third straight month. Inflation is getting closer to the Federal Reserve’s 2% annual mandate, which could mean Fed interest hikes are getting closer.

“The market expects the Fed to

be looser for longer, but (Friday’s) inflation print calls that into question,” says McMillan. “Inflation signals really are starting to flash, and the market is getting more nervous about how long the Fed will put off rate increases.”

Wall Street, which earlier last week had all but ruled out a June rate hike due to weak first-quarter economic growth, is now reconsidering a Fed rate “lift-off” in June.

2. WORLD NEWS FEARS

Greece’s tenuous financial position is putting a fresh scare into markets, as is China.

“International (news) is a contributing factor,” says McMillan.

“Greece is looking less and less

likely to stay in the eurozone.”

And China’s first-quarter growth of 7%, its slowest pace since the financial crisis, is also a potential problem.

Fears of a Greek default are back in play.

And a decision by Chinese market regulators Friday to cool off stock investments financed by borrowed money sparked worries that less leverage in the hot Chinese stock market will cause prices to drop.

3. EARNINGS MISSES

The earnings season has started off better than expected, with 75% of companies in the S&P 500 topping forecasts. But there have been duds. American Express

profit results undershot expectations, for example, and its stock plunged4.4% Friday, weighing down the Dow. This week 146 companies in the S&P 500 report earnings, including IBM, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Coca-Cola, Google and Amazon.

“Earnings are coming in the usual way — some above, some below — which is providing volatility, but no sustained momentum either way,” says McMillan.

But McMillan isn’t in panic mode. “After a couple of good days, a bad day. The market is uncertain, drifting up and down. …

It will continue to react to daily news — like the inflation figure.”

MONEYLINE CHINA CENTRAL BANK ACTS TO SPUR GROWTH The People’s Bank of China on Sunday cut the amount of cash banks must hold as reserves, in a move to encourage lending and fight slowing growth. The central bank lowered the reserve requirement ration by 100 basis points to 18.5%, the second cut in two months and biggest since 2008.

Economic growth is expected to slow to 7% this year, a 25-year low.

Panama Canal’s second act

TAURUS SEDAN/BLOOMBERG

SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW Cadillac said Sunday it will add a plug-in hybrid drivetrain to the big CT6 sedan coming later this year, and expects the system to more than double the car's fuel economy. The General Motors luxury brand said the car will be sold in a number of markets, including China and the U.S., but gave no timetable.

Also, Ford unveiled a redesigned version of its Taurus sedan, once the quintessential American car, calling it a "new premium business sedan for China." Taurus will be manufactured at new $760 million Changan Ford Hangzhou plant, the automaker said. It's not intended for the U.S., where the full-size car market is in decline.

The Panama Canal expansion will allow some of the biggest ships in the world to cut a quicker path to U.S. ports.

Colossal expansion project heralds an ‘era of big ships’ Rick Jervis USA TODAY

Giant backhoes claw into the ground, as helmeted workers position rebar atop of concrete pillars 100 feet tall.

Cranes, trucks and teams of workers toil through a vast construction site here large enough to fit three Empire State Buildings, laying end to end.

More than 2,000 miles north, workers at the Port of New York and New Jersey are busy with their own colossal project: raising a bridge 64 feet, dredging the muck and mud of a harbor to deepen its waters and laying down new railroad lines.

The two projects are unrelated but tightly intertwined: one aims to release massive 1,200-footlong container ships, the other to receive them.

The much-anticipated $5.25 billion expansion of the Panama Canal — the historic 48-mile waterway that snakes a watery path between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans in this Central American country — has been marred by delays and overspending. But its scheduled opening in April 2016 will allow some of the biggest ships in the world, able to carry up to 14,000 containers, to cut a quicker path to U.S. ports, particularly those on the Eastern Seaboard.

The expansion project was a key topic of conversation at last week’s seventh Summit of the Americas, which drew leaders from 35 countries in the hemisphere. President Obama visited the canal during his two-day visit here. The expansion was scheduled to be completed last year, in time for the canal’s 100th anniversary, but cost overruns and labor disputes delayed it.

Meanwhile, U.S. ports are busy deepening harbors and building bigger terminals to draw the bigger ships. Across the USA, public ports and their private sector partners will spend more than $46 billion in port-related improvements through 2016, according to the American Association of Port Authorities.

“It’s the era of big ships,” said Richard Larrabee, director of the Port Authority of New York and PANAMA CITY

For numbers of men and women it was the adventure of a lifetime.”

Its expansion has similar scope and ambition. The mammoth new locks sit alongside the existing Panama Canal and will allow ships carrying up to 14,000 containers to pass. To build the original canal, workers excavated 7 billion feet of material and poured 113 million cubic feet of concrete, said Luis Ferreira, an engineer and spokesman with the Panama Canal Authority.

TRAVEL FLIERS FEELING BETTER, BUT ...

Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Customer satisfaction with U.S. air carriers has risen, approaching a peak not seen in more than 20 years, according to a report released Monday. But airlines still trail virtually all other industries when it comes to making consumers happy.

The latest American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), which measures how consumers feel about hundreds of companies within 43 industries, found that airlines scored 71 out of a possible 100.

That represented a 2.9% increase over last year, and comes close to the airline industry’s record high score of 72 reached in 1994.

At a time when airlines have replaced stale movies with live TV and entertainment menus that offer dozens of options, passengers say they are pleased with those new choices, as well as the industry’s improving record of punctuality and fewer mishandled bags.

“We’re seeing some uptick in some of the metrics that relate to customer service,” says ACSI director David VanAmburg, “The things that impact what’s a critical element of the airline experience, the flight itself. Getting from here to there on time, without baggage being lost.”

Still, among all industries looked at by the survey, only Internet service providers, subscription television companies and health insurance companies scored lower than airlines.

“Even though there is this small uptick this year ... satisfaction overall with airlines is still among the worst of industries we measure,” VanAmburg says. “This is still an industry that consumers have a number of issues with relative to lots of other products and services we consume on a regular basis.”

Melanie Hinton, spokeswoman for the trade group Airlines for America, says the industry has poured money into boosting its offerings and operations, and investment is expected to pass $1.3

billion per month this year.

“U.S. airlines continue to do a great job for their customers despite many circumstances beyond their control, including historically severe weather,” Hinton says.

“Air travel remains one of the best bargains for consumers and airlines continue to invest in what customers value most, new planes, in flight entertainment and other amenities,” she says.

JetBlue got top marks for the fourth year in a row, with a score of 81, followed by Southwest, with a 78. Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit ranked at the bottom with 54.

“JetBlue is much closer to Southwest in terms of offering a discount experience, but still one that has enough of a focus on the quality that customers expect and hope for,” VanAmburg says.

“Spirit, on the other hand, is all about price, an ultra-discounted experience with basically no customer service unless you want to pay for it ... so customers feel like they’re being nickeled and

dimed.”

However, change is afoot at JetBlue, which has announced it will be introducing a checked-bag fee for some passengers for the first time. While a common practice in the industry, the new fee is a dramatic departure for JetBlue.

“They may be right (that) it may be something so ingrained now in us, that people who fly JetBlue will think it’s not a big deal,” he says, but it’s also possible JetBlue’s score “may drop next year if these things go into effect.”

Among the major network carriers, Delta scored a 71, the same as last year, followed by American with a score of 66 and United which garnered a 60. Their scores were also the same as last year’s.

American is going slow in melding systems and programs with its merger partner US Airways, which is likely helping the carrier to avoid some of the stumbling blocks that can come with such a complex integration, VanAmburg says. Meanwhile Unit-

First class is dying. Here’s why all fliers should care Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

If you fly in economy class like me, here’s a meaningless fact: First class is dying.

Not all first class, of course.

The latest lie-flat seats on coastto-coast routes are amazing. And on trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights, the offerings by carriers like Emirates and Singapore Airlines are legendary.

But on domestic routes, the premium seats aren’t what they used to be. There’s less legroom, the amenities are disappearing and the service is lacking. It’s economy class-ish circa 1970 on some planes.

Come to think of it, maybe that’s not as meaningless as it sounds. Because if an airline can’t get first class right, imagine what’s in store for the bleacher seats.

“The days of first-class travel in the United States simply no longer exist like they used to,” says Sheridan Becker, a guidebook writer who recalls the glory days of domestic air travel before airline deregulation in the late ’70s.

They used to include luxury amenity kits loaded with gear, overthe-top service even on shorthaul flights, and plenty of personal space.

“Airlines have simply flown away from the good old days,” she adds.

Airline insiders would argue that there are sound reasons for abandoning a true first-class experience. Chief among them: The economics don’t make sense. But there’s a customer service perspective on this industry-wide downgrade, too. Profit margins are not a customer concern, nor should they be. To customers, first class represents the best an airline can do.

ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

JetBlue got top marks in customer satisfaction for the fourth year in a row, with a score of 81.

ed’s merger with Continental Airlines has been bumpier.

“They’ve had a culture there for some time that has had a problem with customer service,” VanAmburg says of United, “but the Continental merger has not helped. They definitely have not handled that as smoothly, as deliberately, as American has been doing with the US Airways merger.”

The airline industry overall may have scored higher this year if fliers had seen fares drop in the wake of tumbling fuel prices, VanAmburg says. Still, it might be difficult for airlines to make significant enough changes to make flying less stressful.

“It’s just not a terribly comfortable experience, especially for a longer flight,” he says. “The airlines can do certain things around the edges to make the experience more comfortable, and they have. ... (But) it’s just not the greatest experience and hard to see how that would really be able to be changed in leaps and bounds.”

Brett Snyder, founder of the website Crankyflier.com, says airlines have done a lot to improve their service, and should be given more credit.

“The airlines in general have really been investing in their product a lot lately,” he says.

“Even in coach you’ve seen upgraded meals, and in some cases, like with Delta, dramatically increased on-time performance compared to historical averages. ... If people are looking at this and saying I want first class for the price of coach, then you’re never going to get that.”

In another travel-related sector, hotels maintained their customer satisfaction score of 75.

More luxurious properties, such as those operated by Hilton or Marriott, earned a score of 80, while consumers were more critical of less expensive chains.

“That’s similar to other industries ... like automobiles,” VanAmburg says, noting that brands like Lexus usually get scores that top their industry’s average. “It’s because you get what you pay for. ...

Their expectations tend to be matched.”

The “T” stands for Transcontinental, and has a first-class experience that’s a “massive leap forward for the carrier,” says Kyle Stewart, a loyalty program expert. What a difference a single letter can make. uCast a wide net. Non-legacy airlines may offer a surprise first-class experience, even on shorter domestic flights. Virgin America and JetBlue can offer many aspects of a premium

And from that point of view, what do the new second-class sections say about the rest of the company?

Bruce Tepper, a tourism consultant based in Sonora, Calif., is “amazed” by the decline in service and amenities in the recent past. He says the seats are less comfortable, notably the amount of legroom, which is barely more than economy-class sections used to have before deregulation. On a recent flight, the airline had unplugged its in-flight entertainment system in first class, because most passengers just bring their own tablets, a flight attendant explained.

As for the food and drinks, that may be the worst part. Gone are the palatable wines and the gourmet food.

“The meal is unappealing,” Tepper says. “A tasteless hamburger or ... bland salad.”

Part of the problem is that first class, which most reasonable travelers would call the section in the front of the plane with the big seats, is often not even called first class any more.

“The line between first class and business class is very much blurred,” says Andrew Royce Bauer, a frequent flier from Secaucus, N.J. To find a true firstclass experience, he has to do a lot of research. His own strict def-

experience, particularly when it comes to service, that other airlines can’t approach. uLook for it in the right places. True first class still exists on long international flights.

Typically, the longer the flight, the better the first class. Let’s just say passengers on their way to Singapore and Dubai are not complaining about first class.

Glen Loveland, who works for a TV network in Beijing, doesn’t even bother with premium air travel in the United States. “I won’t pay for so-called ‘first class’ tickets on U.S. airlines,” he adds. “It’s just not worth it.”

inition of first class includes a car to the plane, a large seat, a beautiful lounge and great in-flight dining. Some of those amenities are only available on transcontinental routes, if they are at all.

But another part of the problem — from the customer’s point of view — is the industry’s relentless focus on efficiency, which indiscriminately strips away basic, unprofitable services.

“We all want the cheapest fare possible,” says Heidi Lamar, a frequent business traveler from Scottsdale, Ariz. “So quality is usually laid on the altar of price.”

Lamar also thinks loyalty programs have degraded the firstclass experience. “Now that everyone with a travel perks credit card is eligible for upgrades and early boarding, the frequent traveler has a lot more competition for the good seats,” she notes.

As a shameless supporter of generous one-class configurations where all passengers are treated well, it’s tempting to dismiss these complaints as firstworld whines. I can’t do that. The death of domestic, short-haul first class is a bad omen. When an airline’s flagship product starts to falter, all of us will suffer.

Preflight checks for turbine, piston aircraft John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Question: Why don’t jets do run-ups like piston aircraft?

— Charlie Thompson, Texas Answer: Turbine engines (jets and turboprops) do not need the same kind of preflight checks as piston engines. The run-ups executed by pilots of piston-engine airplanes allow them to check the ignition system for the spark plugs, plus the propeller controls.

Turbine engines do not have spark plugs and the propeller checks for turbo props are done during the taxi out.

Turbine engines have many advantages over piston engines; not needing to do a run-up is one of them.

Q: I’ve noticed that just before the takeoff run, the pilot raises the engine’s thrust to around half power, and then a few seconds later to takeoff thrust just as the plane starts its run. Why is there a twostage raising of engine thrust?

— Alan, United Kingdom A: You are observant. Yes, modern jet engines are normally accelerated to an interim setting to allow any difference in acceleration times to be resolved at low thrust.

Engines have some difference in acceleration rate (the time to accelerate from idle to takeoff

thrust). That difference can cause an undesirable yaw if one engine accelerates much more rapidly than the other.

The direct answer to your question is to prevent yawing caused by uneven acceleration of the engines.

Q: Just based on engine noise levels, I can tell that the power being delivered by the engines varies greatly during takeoff, cruise, descent and landing. What are the different power percentages that are being used during these flight stages?

— Steve Browne, Chicago A: The difference in thrust output and engine rpm is not a linear relationship.

Takeoff and climb thrust are just few percentage different in rotational speed but significant in the thrust difference. Making this question more complex is that auto throttle systems keep the programmed speed by varying the thrust, so the cruise power setting is not a constant value.

Some jet engines measure their thrust output by the percentage of the rotation of the fan (the first and largest compressor in the engine). This percentage is around 94 for takeoff and 88 or so for climb.

LIFELINE MAKING WAVES Now we know where ‘Star Wars’ spinoff film ‘Rogue One’ fits into the franchise timeline. The USA TODAY movie, which stars ‘The Theory of Everything’ actress Felicity Jones and hits theaters Dec. 16, 2016, takes place between Episodes III and IV of the series. That news came Sunday out of the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, Calif., where director Gareth Edwards unveiled a reel from the movie about “a band of resistance fighters (that) unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans,” as the official @starwars account tweeted.

DESCENDANTS DISNEY CHANNEL, SUMMER

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

hese rotten apples don’t fall far from the family tree.

The sons and daughters of Disney’s greatest villains take the spotlight in the upcoming Disney Channel original movie Descendants, an action/ adventure/romantic comedy with musical numbers directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega (High School Musical).

Those beloved baddies of classic animated movies are “misunderstood in a lot of ways,” says Kristin Chenoweth, who has a darkly humorous turn as the evil Maleficent. “Everybody wants what they want, and these villains want what they want.”

Premiering this summer, the movie checks in with familiar characters in their “happily ever after” existences — well, at least for the heroes — on the mainland in Auradon. Villains such as Jafar (Maz Jobrani), Cruella de Vil (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and the Evil Queen (Kathy Najimy) have been shipped off to the Isle of the Lost, where a magical barrier strips them of their powers.

But Ben (Mitchell Hope), the son of Belle and Beast, has been

tapped as the new king, and his first order of business is to take a handful of the bad guys’ homeschooled teenagers — Maleficent’s daughter Mal (Dove Cameron), Cruella’s son Carlos (Cameron Boyce), the Evil Queen’s daughter Evie (Sofia Carson) and Jafar’s son Jay (Booboo Stewart) — and give them a chance to fit in at Auradon Prep.

Maleficent is still “the quintessential evil-empress diva,” Ortega says, so she gives the kids a mission: Steal the Fairy Godmother’s wand from a museum so they can free their parents from the island.

It’s a transformational tale for Mal, Cameron says. “She becomes less sarcastic and guarded, and becomes a bit more lovely and generous — what you’d expect ... (of ) a Disney princess.”

Ortega promises catchy tunes and the exploration of kids doing everything they can to win their parents’ love. “Does that make them bad? Yeah, a little. That they have the option to choose who they’re going to be is what opens up a big part of our story.”

Cameron, 19, has been a superfan of Chenoweth’s since she was 7, so she was floored when learning of her new screen mom.

“There was crying involved,” Cameron says, adding that working with the actress was “monumental for me, and it really

EIKE SCHROTER, DISNEY CHANNEL

changed my life, honestly.”

Chenoweth’s take on Maleficent is unlike Angelina Jolie’s in last year’s film and the 1959 animated version in Sleeping Beauty.

“Let’s face it, she sings and dances,” the actress says.

She also loves that Mal is her mom’s own little “mini-me.”

“Maleficent wants her (child) to grow up and be her,” Chenoweth says. “I think a lot of mothers and daughters can relate.”

‘Furious 7’ still outpacing all competitors Crosses $1 billion mark worldwide in 17 days, a record clip Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Furious 7 continues to roll at the box office, cruising to victory for the third weekend in a row with $29.1 million and a domestic total of $294.4 million.

The final film of the turbocharged franchise to star the late Paul Walker passed the $1 billion mark globally Friday after just 17 days of release, a new record.

Mega-hits such as The Avengers and Avatar took 19 days to hit that milestone, according to tracking firm Rentrak.

“Audiences have a true emotional connection to this movie, and a big part of that is support for Paul Walker,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst for Ren-

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 wheeled into a second-place finish with $24 million. The follow-up to the 2009 surprise hit, starring Kevin James as a Segway-riding security

officer, might not be the last screen outing for the slapstick mall cop.

“Paul Blart just makes money, even if everyone ridicules it,” says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “It doesn’t matter what critics say for these kinds of films — there’s a place for

silly family comedies. We might just get a Paul Blart trilogy yet.”

Horror film Unfriended took third with its tech-heavy twist on the teenage slasher film. The Blumhouse Productions movie took $16 million with a microbudget estimated at $1 million.

“This is such huge money when you keep the budget down,” Bock says. “It’s putting out a product that teens and younger people are flocking to.”

Animated alien movie Home continued to pull in the familyfriendly audience for a fourthplace fourth-week finish of $10.3 million. The adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel The Longest Ride, starring Scott Eastwood, rounded out the top five with $6.9 million in its second weekend.

Documentary Monkey Kingdom, which follows toque macaque monkeys in Sri Lanka, scored a seventh-place finish in its debut weekend with $4.7 million.

Final figures are out today.

Blame Weis for ’15 struggles So little depth at so many positions combined with a brutal schedule puts the Kansas University football team in danger of going 0-12 in 2015.

And the shame of that is that the players on the roster and the new coaching staff will get pinned with the blame. In reality, it’s the previous coach’s quick-fix approach, coupled with the abundance of players who were either bad at life, bad at football, or both, who are to blame.

The current players are the ones who stuck it out on the football field and in the classroom when so many others with whom they were recruited were either too lazy, too irresponsible, ill-equipped for the classroom or didn’t have nearly enough talent to play at Kansas and transferred or were dismissed.

Others’ football careers ended for health reasons.

The 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes are to blame for the underdogevery-week (at least for the final 11 games) season that awaits the Jayhawks.

In those two years, Charlie Weis recruited 27 junior-college transfers, six transfers from Div. I schools and 18 high school recruits.

A stunning 37 percent of the recruits from Weis’ first two classes left the program before using up their eligibility. Many of those never played a down for Kansas.

Weis’ transfer-heavy approach to recruiting was designed to set up a breakeven-or better 2014 season that would have given Weis leverage in the area of the main two reasons he took the job at Kansas: money and launching his son’s coaching career. He would have tried to leverage the big season into a contract extension, probably for two more years, and into a full-time coaching position on the 2015 staff for Charlie Weis Jr., who on his own merit landed an entry-level job in Nick Saban’s program at Alabama.

The plan blew up because so many of the transfers either fell far short of Weis’ expectations or quit, flunked out or ran afoul of the law. Weis was fired four games into a season in which Kansas finished 3-9, three victories shy of bowleligibility.

Now the new coaching staff will try to win games with three returning starters on offense, two returning defensive starters, a woeful lack of depth and an estimated 69 players who originally came to Kansas on scholarship. FBS schools are allowed to carry 85 scholarships but must cap each season’s scholarship total to a maximum of 25.

(Loopholes sometimes allow programs to count scholarships toward previous or following class, which explains how Weis had 27 players in his first class).

Brandon Schneider will be announced as Kansas University’s next women’s basketball coach at a Tuesday news conference, according to sources with inside knowledge of the hiring process.

Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger offered the job to Schneider over the weekend, and the two sides reached agreement on the terms of the contract, which has not yet been signed.

Schneider, who spent five years at Stephen F. Austin after winning the Div. II national title at Emporia

State in 2010, is scheduled to meet with his players today to discuss his career move with them and is expected to make his way to Lawrence later in the day to be in place for a Tuesday morning news conference.

A native of Canyon, Texas, Schneider became the leading candidate early in

the search and maintained that position throughout an extensive vetting process conducted by Zenger and those helping him with the search.

Schneider coached Stephen F. Austin to Southland Conference regular-season titles in each of the past two years.

When Kansas University baseball coach Ritch Price arrived at Hoglund Ballpark on Sunday and saw the wind blowing out, he knew his pitching staff and depleted bullpen would need some help topping Texas.

A few hours later, the KU offense carved out seven runs on 11 hits off the Texas pitchers but fell nine runs and 12 hits shy of matching the output of the Longhorns, who left Lawrence with a 167, series-clinching victory.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — After Oakland and Kansas City cleared the benches for the third straight game and five more Royals got ejected, Lorenzo Cain tried to put a positive spin on the day.

Hit by a pitch early, Cain came back to deliver a key blow, a tying double during a three-run rally in the eighth inning that sent the Royals over Oakland 4-2 on Please see KEEGAN, page 3C a tense Sunday.

Cain stole third after his hit and later scored on Kendrys Morales’ go-ahead double.

The trouble started right away when Kansas City manager Ned Yost and pitching coach Dave Eiland were ejected in the first inning after Cain was hit by a pitch from Scott Kazmir.

That prompted plate umpire Greg Gibson to warn both teams.

“I’m not really sure if it was intentional,” Cain said.

“I felt like it was intentionally. He (Kazmir) did ask if I was OK.” “No one likes getting hit.

It doesn’t feel good. It was definitely an intense series. A lot of guys got hit by pitches. A lot of bench clearings,” he said.

Cain said at least the sides avoided a brawl.

Sources: Tebow headed to Eagles Philadelphia — It’s Tebow Time in the City of Brotherly Love.

Tim Tebow is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Eagles today, according to three people familiar with the deal. The people spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the contract hasn’t been finalized.

Tebow hasn’t played in the NFL since 2012 with the New York Jets. He was released by the New England Patriots before the 2013 season and spent last year working in television as an analyst for the SEC Network and ESPN. Despite being out of the league, the 27-year-old Tebow remained one of the most popular players around. He has a legion of fans who follow him because of his strong Christian beliefs.

The former Heisman Trophy winner led Florida to two national titles and was a first-round pick

by Denver in 2010. He started 16 games during two seasons with the Broncos, including a playoff victory over Pittsburgh in January 2012. Tebow was traded to the Jets after Denver signed Peyton Manning.

The 27-year-old Tebow joins quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne on Philadelphia’s roster. The addition of Tebow would be the latest move in a stunning offseason for coach Chip Kelly. He traded Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy and allowed Jeremy Maclin to leave in free agency.

Race on to land remaining preps

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

There’s a lot of talking going on in gyms and living rooms — as well as on the phone these days — between the few uncommitted blue-chip high school basketball prospects in the Class of 2015 and high-profile college coaches.

ESPN, as well as several recruiting services, reported Sunday that small forward standout Brandon Ingram will meet with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski again Tuesday after speaking with him in person Friday.

Ingram, 6-foot-8 senior from Kinston (North Car-

olina) High, who is ranked No. 19 by Rivals.com, met with Kansas University coach Bill Self on Saturday and Kentucky coach John Calipari on Friday.

Ingram will meet with coaches from North Carolina State today and North Carolina on Wednesday. The other finalist, UCLA, reportedly will not be included in the final round of inhome visits.

Ingram’s father, Donald Ingram, told Rivals. com on Sunday night that Brandon’s college choice will be revealed a week from today.

Meanwhile, Cheick Diallo, a 6-9 senior from Our Savior New American in

Centereach, New York, who met with KU’s Self on Friday and St. John’s Chris Mullin on Saturday, was to meet Sunday night with Kentucky’s Calipari, Zagsblog.com reported.

A source told Zagsblog. com that the KU and St. John’s sessions “went very well.” Diallo also has Iowa State and Pitt on his final list. l

TV show Tuesday: ESPNU will air its annual signing-day special at 5 p.m. Central time, Tuesday. There’s been no word if any top players will commit or be interviewed on the show. l

Ben Davis’ daughter

excels at N.D.: Former KU forward Ben Davis’ daughter happens to be one of the best college basketball forwards in the country.

Notre Dame’s Taya Reimer, a 6-foot-3 sophomore from Fishers, Indiana, grabbed 11 rebounds and scored six points while playing 33 minutes in the Irish’s 63-53 NCAA championship-game loss to UConn. Reimer finished fourth on the team in scoring (10.2) and second in rebounding (6.1) while starting 35 of 37 games.

She and her dad are the first dad/daughter combo to play in the McDonald’s All-America game.

Ben, who also played col-

legiately at Florida and Arizona after leaving KU following the 1991-92 season, was a 1991 McDonald’s All-American out of Oak Hill Academy, while Reimer was a 2013 McDonald’s selection.

Taya’s mom, Brenda Reimer, was a three-sport standout at Hesston High and graduated from KU. l

Marcus on the move: Former Kansas State guard Marcus Foster announced Sunday he is transferring to Creighton University.

“Time to get back to work!

Officially a Creighton Blue Jay,” Foster wrote. He’ll have two seasons of eligibility remaining starting in 2016-17.

Chiefs’ Charles covets OLs Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — As the Chiefs prepare to begin their offseason program today, most of the attention right now is on the upcoming NFL Draft, even among some of the players.

That includes Jamaal Charles.

General manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid have no intention of asking their Pro Bowl running back whom he’d take with their firstround pick, No. 18 overall.

But in an interview with the Associated Press, Charles made it clear he would like upgrades at offensive line.

“I definitely want them to address that,” he said.

“I’m not a GM, so I can’t do that job. But it was challenging last year playing with guys — some got hurt, some got suspended. So it was hard playing.

I never knew how crucial it was to my career that I needed linemen.”

Dorsey has already made a few moves in free agency to shore up the front. He signed former Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Paul Fanaika to provide some depth, then traded a fifth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for former Pro Bowl offensive guard Ben Grubbs.

There are still plenty of questions, though.

Former first overall pick Eric Fisher struggled mightily in switching from right tackle to left tackle last season.

Ryan Harris was merely serviceable on the right side. And their most dependable starter, center Rodney Hudson, signed a big deal with the Oakland Raiders in free agency, which means

untested Eric Kush is penciled in as the starter there.

That’s a big reason why several mock drafts have the Chiefs going with an offensive lineman in the first round later this month. Kansas City has 10 selections overall.

“I saw DeMarco Murray had a great line in Dallas,” Charles said. “Running backs, we’re more important than wide receivers on the team. We might be looking for the best wide receiver, but you need a good running back. At the end of the day, a good running back touches the ball more.”

Charles actually touched the ball less last season than the previous year under Reid, but he still carried 206 times for 1,033 yards and caught 40 passes for another 291 yards.

Offensive line isn’t the only area where the Chiefs have been busy upgrading.

Dorsey made a splash early in the offseason by signing former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, then cutting Dwayne Bowe in a cost-saving move. While the Chiefs are still desperate for help at wide receiver, the move was praised by just about everyone.

The Chiefs begin the first phase of their offseason program today, which means it will be the first time that linebacker Derrick Johnson and Mike DeVito are expected back on the field. Each tore an Achilles tendon in last season’s opener.

“I’ve been working out with DJ for a while now,” said Charles, who like Johnson went to college at Texas. “I feel like he’s going to come back better.”

(Texas) put the sevenspot up, with two outs, and we really got buried from that point.”

With the wind blowing out, even routine fly balls that on a normal day would have stayed in the park turned into towering home runs. No one took better advantage of that than Johnson, who surely wowed the seven or so major-league scouts in attendance.

“We might have made him national player of the week today,” Price said

BRIEFLY KU men’s golf sixth at Hawkeye Iowa City, Iowa — Three Kansas University golfers placed in the top 20, and the Jayhawks were sixth in the team race at the Hawkeye Invitational, which concluded Sunday at Finkbine Golf Course.

Chase Hanna finished at 1-under 215 to tie for 13th to pace the Jayhawks.

Other KU scores: Ben Welle, 16th, 216; Connor Peck, tied for 17th, 217; Daniel Hudson, tied for 23rd, 219; and Brock Drogosch, tied for 56th, 230. Spencer Painton, competing as an individual, tied for 38th at 224.

“Unfortunately, we just didn’t play the par-5s very well, and that really hurt our team score,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said.

Iowa State won the team title with 847. Kansas was sixth at 867.

KU will head to Tulsa,

Oklahoma, for the Big 12 Championship, April 27-29 at Southern Hills Country Club.

Tulsa outlasts KU softball, 3-2 Tulsa, Okla. — Two swings of the bat doomed Kansas University to a 3-2 nonconference softball setback against Tulsa on Sunday at the Collins Family Softball Complex.

Though the Jayhawks (33-8 overall) jumped to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, the Golden Hurricane took the lead for good on Catherine Horner’s tworun homer in the bottom.

Jodi Edmiston’s solo shot in the bottom of the second gave Tulsa (29-15) all the offense it would need.

Kansas will host SIUE at 2 p.m. Wednesday, then return to conference play by hosting Oklahoma, April 24-26.

of Johnson. “That was an unbelievable show he put on. He’s not only the fastest guy in college baseball, he’s one of the strongest.”

The Jayhawks never quit, scoring five runs in the final five innings.

Dakota Smith homered in the eighth and delivered two RBIs, and Matt McLaughlin collected two hits and two RBIs. But no matter how hot the KU offense remained, it amounted to little more than treading water, as the Longhorns continued to pound a KU bullpen that used five pitchers and gave up 13 runs on 14 hits.

Most Big 12 schools likely have in the range 35 scholarship high

school recruits from those two classes on their 2015 rosters.

Again, blaming the remaining players and new coaching staff for what promises to be an extremely rough season would be to ignore the history responsible for putting Kansas at such a competitive disadvantage. They’re all working hard daily in practice, trying to get a little better every day in a rebuilding project that will take years to complete.

“The wind was really crazy, and anyone who hit the ball up in the air, it was gonna go out.”

KU will return to Hoglund Ballpark on Tuesday night, when they’ll face Wichita State in a single game at 6 p.m.

we beat them tonight is huge,” he said.

In the eighth, Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera was tossed after throwing a 100 mph fastball behind Brett Lawrie. Bench coach Don Wakamatsu, the acting manager after Yost’s ejection, was tossed during an ensuing argument, as was injured Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar.

“I don’t mean to hurt anybody,” Herrera said.

“I was just trying to throw inside, but just a bad grip on that fastball. It started raining pretty good. And they just tossed me out of the game.”

Herrera pointed to his head as he went into the dugout, which irritated Lawrie.

“That’s what got me hot.

That’s what got me mad.

You can’t throw at my head and then say, ‘Next time I face you, it’s in the head,’” Lawrie said. “He needs to pay for that. He doesn’t throw 85. He throws 100.”

Lawrie was in the middle of the problems all weekend. His late slide forced Escobar to leave early Friday night — the shortstop called it a “dirty slide” and didn’t play the rest of the weekend.

On Saturday, Royals ace Yordano Ventura was ejected when he hit Lawrie with a pitch after Josh Reddick homered.

Herrera said he pointed to his head to say “think about it.”

With Greg Holland on the DL because of a pectoral strain, Wade Davis struck out two in a perfect ninth for his second save.

Secondhand marijuana smoke can be unhealthy Dear Annie: For many years, I have heard about the dangers of secondhand smoke. I am a nonsmoker, but was married to a smoker for 13 years and have asthma.

Now that pot is being legalized in some states, including where I live, what are the dangers of secondhand pot smoke? I haven’t heard a word about it. Are the states just looking for additional tax revenue and keeping it out of the news? — Concerned Breather in Oregon Dear Breather: According to the American Lung Association, inhaling smoke is harmful whether it’s from cigarettes, pot or burning wood. Marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke, and

pot smokers generally inhale it for a longer period of time.

How dangerous is it to nonsmokers? A 2014 study found that blood-vessel function in lab rats dropped by 70 percent after 30 minutes of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke and hadn’t returned to normal even after 40 minutes. And the rats suffered the same effects even if the pot contained no THC. So, you might not get a

Tyson, Takei chat about ‘Trek’ tech Science, popular culture and conversation are the highlights of “StarTalk” (10 p.m., National Geographic), hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Every Monday evening he will invite figures from the worlds of entertainment, science, politics and academia to discuss ways that science affects culture and daily life.

An expansion of Tyson’s popular podcast and radio series, “StarTalk” will present him in a taped one-onone interview with a single guest combined with an appearance before a studio audience at New York’s Hayden Planetarium, which he runs. Every “talk show” segment features a comic sidekick, a guest and an appearance by Bill Nye the Science Guy to weigh in on each week’s topic.

Tonight’s guest, George Takei, joins Tyson, comic Leighann Lord and astrophysicist Charles Liu in a conversation about the technology and physics displayed on “Star Trek” during its 1966-69 NBC run as well as its lingering impact on popular culture. Takei speaks at length about his audition for the series and how creator Gene Roddenberry saw the cast’s diversity as part of his hopeful vision for America and the planet’s future.

In addition to this idealism, Takei also discusses his small role in one of America’s more shameful chapters: He spent part of his childhood behind the barbwire of a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Tyson keeps the tone light and goofy, and his panel has plenty of chances to geek out in faithful Trekkie fashion.

Among the guests “StarTalk” has booked over the course of the season: “Interstellar” director Christopher Nolan (April 27), evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (May 18), President Jimmy Carter (May 25) and NASA administrator Charles Bolden (June 15).

I had the person on my cellphone when I went to a MoneyGram location. The woman there told me to hang
