Ex-mistress testifies at murder trial Kansas set to restrict how poor can use aid money ———

Cash assistance couldn’t be used for visiting swimming pools, psychics, theaters

MARTIN MILLER WAITS FOR THE FIFTH DAY OF HIS RETRIAL to begin on Friday in Judge Paula Martin’s courtroom. Miller is charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his wife, Mary Miller. He was awarded a new trial in 2014 because of an erroneous jury instruction.

Jury hears details of 4-year affair; coroner says death was homicide Mary Miller died on July 28, 2004.

Martin Miller, her husband, is standing trial for the second time in her death.

Martin Miller’s former mistress, Carrie Parbs, testified Friday morning about her and Miller’s four-year affair, which culminated in a commitment ceremony just weeks before his wife’s death.

Miller, 56, is charged with first-degree murder in the July 28, 2004, death of his wife, Mary Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home. A Douglas County jury convicted Miller in 2005 of first-

degree murder, but the Kansas Court of Appeals ruled in February 2014 that Miller should get a

new trial based on an erroneous jury instruction.

Prosecutors allege that Miller strangled Mary Miller because the family was in financial straits and he was having an affair with Parbs, formerly of Eudora. Miller’s attorney, Richard Ney, argues that Mary Miller died of natural causes, not by homicide.

Parbs told the court Friday that she met Miller in November 2000 on an adult-only dating website.

They began emailing, had lunch a few times, then had their first sexual en-

counter, Miller testified in 2004. Parbs said that in December 2000 she accompanied Miller to Indianapolis to a woodworking convention.

Parbs testified that the relationship progressed over the next four years, during which they played sexual “games,” engaged in bondage and took trips to Wichita, South Dakota and Missouri. Eventually, Parbs said, Miller talked about divorcing Mary Miller and marrying Parbs.

SLT concept plan could create major changes ———

But KDOT currently lacks funds to expand western portion of trafficway

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Adding two more lanes to the western portion of the South Lawrence Trafficway may create some significant changes in the city’s transportation network, according to a draft plan put together by state leaders.

Officials with the Kansas Department of Transportation have begun showing an early version of a concept plan that would allow for the existing two-lane portion of the South Lawrence Trafficway west of Iowa Street to eventually be expanded into a four-lane road.

The plan looks at a host of options, including removing or relocating the existing Clinton Parkway interchange on the SLT. KDOT officials recently shared the concept plan at a public open house that attracted about 100 people on Tuesday evening.

“We got some really good input,” said Kimberly Qualls, a public affairs manager Please see SLT, page 2A

DEATHS Delmer eugene Wray Delmer Eugene Wray was released to his eternal home with the Lord Jesus a few minutes before 7AM on April 1, 2015.

Delmer was born near Ottawa, Kansas to Jesse and Delta Wray on December 23, 1925. He farmed with his father in his early years and was involved in farming his entire life… however, in 1975 at the age of fifty, he purchased a backhoe and for the next twentyfive years installed water lines and performed other excavation work.

In 2001, he and Mother moved from Ottawa, KS to Pasco, WA, where Mother passed away in April of 2010. Even though his last years were spent in a care center, he patiently endured the long days of needing mostly total physical care. He was privileged to receive excellent care from the Guardian Angel facility on Van Giesen St in Richland, WA for the last three years. The caregivers at Guardian Angel were very loving and kind to him which gave him much comfort.

Dad accepted his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in his early years and proclaimed his faith with water baptism at a young age. He was a member of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church his entire life and became part of the New Conference in 2009.

Dad married Vesta Marie Smith on

September 2, 1948 and enjoyed almost sixtytwo years together.

They were blessed with and survived by four children, one daughter and three sons: Sally Garber and son-inlaw Marvin Garber of Chambersburg, PA; Everett Wray and daughter-in-law Sandra of Pasco, WA; Larry Wray and daughter-inlaw Karen of Baldwin, KS; Dennis Wray and daughter-in-law Christine of Ottawa, KS; sixteen grandchildren and thirty-five great grandchildren. He is also survived by a sister, Devena Mohler and brother-in-law Paul; Sister-in-law Martha Mohler and husband Loren; brother-in-law Alvin Smith and wife Elsie; sister-in-law Betty Smith. Preceding him in death was a brother Wilbur Wray; brotherin-law John Smith and a grandson Jamin Wray, son of Dennis and Christine Wray.

We your children will rejoice in the memories of a kind and loving father, who by his life taught us faith in God. His life was a life of service wherever he lived and was satisfied with simple, basic needs.

We thank you Dad, for your wonderful example of faith, patience, humility, and your esteeming others better than yourself.

Miller tried to incorporate Parbs into his family life, Parbs said. He invited her to his house to help with gardening and asked her to volunteer at his church and to go swimming with him and his two children.

“He wanted me to do those things because the children would be around and used to me (when he divorced Mary Miller),” Parbs said.

Later, Parbs said, Miller backed out of the idea when he thought of how it would affect his finances, business, church and children. Miller said that when his children graduated from high school he would divorce Mary Miller. His children were 11 and 14 in 2004. Parbs said the news was “upsetting,” but she told him she would wait for him.

Parbs said she and Miller held a “commitment ceremony,” during which Parbs wore a white dress and Miller gave her a ring. They celebrated their commitment to each other with a trip to St. Joseph, Mo., in July 2004.

Mary Miller died on the 28th of that month.

The relationship ended sometime after Mary Miller died, Parbs said, and Miller’s current wife, Laura Cuthberson, began caring for Miller and helping Parbs get over the relationship.

“She thought that if I purged my apartment of everything from Marty, it would make me feel better,” Parbs said.

That fall, Parbs “confessed her sins” about

her affair in front of her church congregation as Cuthberson looked on, she said. Cutherberson then took Parbs to brunch to celebrate her “freedom,” and afterward told Parbs that she and Miller were in love, Parbs testified.

“I was upset. I was concerned that she would be hurt like he hurt me,” Parbs said. “She looked at me and she said, ‘But he tells me I’m beautiful.’”

L awrence J ournal -W orld The state argued during opening statements Wednesday that Miller’s marital unhappiness led Miller to kill his wife, but the defense pointed to the lack of physical proof that Mary Miller died by homicide.

KDOT does not have any funding to expand the western portion of the SLT to four lanes, so any project is still years away. But KDOT wants to study the possibility because the eastern leg of the trafficway, which is under construction now, will be four lanes when it is completed in 2016.

Planners do not like the at-grade intersection that exists at Wakarusa/27th Street near YSI. It has been dangerous. The concept plan notes that creating an interchange at the Wakarusa Drive location “would be challenging” due to several right-of-way issues. A new interchange to the north and west, however, could provide access to the YSI complex, if some new frontage roads are built. But that new interchange would mean the existing interchange for Clinton Parkway would be removed. KDOT planners have said they are open to that idea, in part, because the Clinton Parkway interchange currently is the least used on the SLT. Removing the interchange, however, may create new difficulties for people wanting to get to Clinton State Park. tell you how and where to spend your money,’” Rep.

Lawmakers, several state officials denounce Wichita initiative to ease marijuana penalties

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — Some lawmakers and state officials tried on Friday to rally opposition to a Wichita ballot initiative believed to be the first in Kansas that seeks to ease penalties for firsttime possession of small amounts of marijuana.

A handful of legislators were joined by top state officials at a news conference to say the city has no legal authority to adopt an ordinance that conflicts with state law — even if voters approve the ballot initiative during Tuesday’s local election.

“This is an illegal petition and an illegal referendum,” said state Rep. Steve Brunk, a Republican lawmaker

SATURDAY COLUMN

Brownback still has opportunity to move state forward

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Several weeks ago, this writer received a letter from a wellknown former state legislator expressing his disappointment that the Journal-World and this writer had not backed Lawrence attorney Paul Davis for the governorship.

His letter stated: “It seems strange that on behalf of schoolchildren and taxpayers across the state that you are asking the Brownback-controlled legislature for help in considering the Governor’s school finance measure. Where were you in the November election when you had the chance to really help the schoolchildren and taxpayers of Kansas?

“Kansas is getting what it has come to expect from the Governor, his ambitions and his legislature.”

He ended by saying, “I just want you to know how disappointed I was and still am in your unbelievable endorsement of Brownback.”

The election was four

months ago, and this writer continues to believe Brownback has the experience, knowledge and opportunity to be a far better and more effective governor for Kansas than his challenger, Davis.

In the exchange of letters about this matter with the former legislator, this writer pointed out that one of the leaders in putting together the “Republicans for Kansas Values” opposition to Brownback, which was endorsed by more than 150 former GOP state and local officeholders, told this writer he and others realized Davis would be a poor governor but they just didn’t like Brownback for various reasons.

In a followup letter, the above-mentioned legislator said, “Probably no RKV members were thrilled to support Paul Davis, but we could not bring ourselves to put any ray of hope in Brownback.”

He added, “Politics makes for strange bedmates. I don’t envy you one bit.” His letter ended by saying, “I feel sorry for you

and the mistake you made.”

This writer continues to believe Brownback had the opportunity, and continues to have the opportunity, to be a good governor for Kansas.

COMMENTARY Governors, whether in Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Ohio or any other state, have a tough job — particularly with the economic situation of the past five or 10 years.

However, it is difficult to understand many of Brownback’s actions and policies.

There shouldn’t be any question that he wants to do what he thinks is best for Kansas and its residents. It’s understandable that, in politics, it is easy to step on toes, make mistakes and create enemies, but it’s also true in politics that it’s wise and rewarding for officeholders to acknowledge they may have made

mistakes or errors in their reasoning.

It seems fairly clear that for whatever reason, Brownback and his senior advisers made some miscalculations, and predictions have not come true.

It’s also true Brownback and his Republican Party enjoy huge majorities in the Kansas House and Senate. A strong governor enjoying such legislative numbers should be able to craft a sound, positive and forward-looking legislative program. Democratic legislators do not pose much of a deterrent.

However, so far, the record of the Brownback governorship has been disappointing — disappointing for personal reasons and disappointing for the state.

He still has the opportunity to turn things around if he will acknowledge some of his plans have not worked out as he had hoped. The state is hungry and needs sound, visionary leadership. There’s no way to wave a magic wand and say “abra-

cadabra” and expect the political and economic climate to change overnight. But it is possible to make adjustments and re-evaluations to change the political climate and inject optimism and enthusiasm about the state and its future.

How long must Brownback remain inflexible and not acknowledge things are not going well — in fact, going badly?

Again, surely Brownback wants what is best for Kansas and its residents, and he would like to leave office with a record of positive accomplishments.

He has a rare opportunity.

He has strong majorities in the House and Senate, and he doesn’t have to worry about facing another election. He can energize the state and its residents with positive and visionary leadership and develop a mutually respectful and cooperative relationship with legislators and attack the major challenges facing the state.

It’s not too late, but Brownback must take the lead.

lacks the mature judgment needed by a Commissioner, and if elected to the City Commission it could be to the detriment to our community.”

This twist in the campaign should be interesting to watch because the social media messages in question likely are going to be viewed differently by different folks. First, it is important to note that none of the messages actually were written

by Soden. They rather were all retweeted or favorited. (For those of you who confine your tweeting activity to bird shows, think of “retweeting” or “favoriting” sort of like forwarding an email message, although, in this case, to multiple people at a time.)

There are some tweets that Soden forwarded or favorited that bring up questions of race

relations between the police officers and the communities they serve.

These tweets came in the aftermath of the unrest in Ferguson, Mo. Here are a couple of examples: l Soden retweeted an Aug. 17 message from Max Berger, an organizer with the Occupy movement, that read: “#Ferguson is the perfect storm of America’s problems: war equipment from Iraq used to suppress poor people angry about a racist murder.” l On Sept. 19, Soden favorited a tweet by Jason Barr, a prolific Lawrence-area Twitter user. It read: “Cops arresting a guy with a huge assault rifle at Dillons on 6th. A (expletive) assault rifle. He was white . . . so they didn’t shoot him. #LFK” Soden told me she can understand how some people may be concerned about the social media messages when “they are taken out of context.”

She said she was very interested in the news of

the day surrounding the Ferguson shooting and its aftermath. She said she thinks the discussion happening in the wake of the Ferguson shooting is very important for people involved in community leadership to pay attention to. She said she retweeted the messages because they showed the emotion of the debate.

She said she doesn’t necessarily agree with all the sentiments expressed in the tweets.

“They were just retweets,” Soden said.

“They weren’t my words.

It showed a lot of emotion. There were a lot of emotional messages that people were sending out.

It showed this is something people were experiencing very intensely.”

The police officers association in total included 40 tweets that it said were examples of messages that “demonstrate a lack of understanding of issues facing law enforcement and the communities they police.” If you want to

L awrence J ournal -W orld

look for yourself, you can see Soden’s full Twitter feed here. It is worth noting that about half-dozen of the messages cited by the police group were simply retweets from news organizations such as the Associated Press, NPR, CNN and LJWorld. com that were providing updates on the Ferguson situation.

Soden said she wants people to understand she thinks Lawrence police officers are doing a good job in serving the community.

“Any police officers I have encountered in Lawrence, I’ve had good interactions with them,” Soden said. “I think they do a great job. There are probably people in town who don’t agree with that, but my experience has been good.”

One issue the police officers association raised is that Soden hasn’t been on a tour of the current police facilities. She said that is correct. Soden said she’s attended several

city presentations on the condition of police facilities but hasn’t yet taken a tour. She said she’s already convinced that police facilities need to be upgraded and expanded. She expects a formal City Commission tour of the facilities will be one of the activities of the new commission.

Soden said she thinks this most recent statement by the police officers association is a sign of frustration.

“I understand that they are frustrated that they were not the top priority for past commissioners,” Soden said. “And I’m sure the failure of the sales tax in November was frustrating, too. But for the past few months I have been telling anyone and everyone that public safety is my top priority. I really am looking forward to working on that issue.”

Soden, during her campaign, has been advocating for examining the entire “emergency services system,” which

includes the police, the fire department, the hospital and the jail. She said such a review may lead to ways that the community can reduce the demand for police services.

All six candidates in the field have supported improvements for police facilities, but Soden has differentiated herself from several other candidates by saying she wants to study whether existing facilities could be upgraded or expanded before looking at $26 million plan to build an entirely new police headquarters.

“I agree that we have issues with our current facilities,” Soden said.

“I don’t know why they are in the shape they are now. I totally think it needs to be a top priority. But to build a new facility so soon after the voters rejected that idea, I’m not sure.”

adopt-a-pet CHewey

Chewey is the only Rabbit we have available right now and he is one fun guy. He is a 2 year old Rex with white and grey colors. He loves to play, especially with his little toy ball. He is used to free roaming in the house, so you need to make sure there isn’t anything for him to chew on that might hurt him. Rabbits need special care, so do your homework on these guys.

JaCk

Jack is a handsome Anatolian Shepherd mix. He is about 2 years old and has a fawn and white coat. He is shy in his kennel, but once you get him out, he is very much like a big puppy.

He loves being outside and is a playful guy. He doesn’t do well with small animals and livestock, but should do well with another dog and children. He is a 78 lb. lap dog at heart.

BaltHazar

We took some new photos of our good buddy Balthazar. He is so handsome, we just couldn’t help ourselves.

He is a 6 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and has a fawn and white coat. He is a sweet boy, but would do best in a home without small animals. Another dog (meet preferred) and children should be okay. He is eligible for the special, so come out to meet him.

JaDe

Name: Jade Breed: Boxer mix Color: black with white Age: 3 years Weight: 58 lbs. Those are her stats, but what they don’t tell you is that she is a great dog. Happy and energetic, she would do well in an active home with older kids. If you only have room for one dog, that would be okay with her.

More love and attention for her and lots of kisses for you.

Come meet her today.

Hemmingway

Hemingway is a 3 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a tan and white coat. He is a medium sized guy at about 47 lbs.

With energy to spare, he would be a good exercise buddy in this warmer weather. He might be okay with another dog, but we recommend a meet if you have another dog.

Keep his energy level in mind if you have kids. Given the opportunity, he does enjoy being a couch potato too.

Donatello

Donatello has no idea what pizza is, but he is pretty sure he would like it. He is a handsome 6 year old Labrador Retriever mix and has a solid yellow coat. He can be a bit shy, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up.

One of his fave toys is a tennis ball, so we will include one with his adoption. Kids and other dogs should be fine.

BonBon

Bonbon is an adorable Terrier mix with a smile that melts hearts. She weighs about 42 lbs. and has a solid red coat. She is only 1 year old and would benefit from some puppy classes to help her learn to be the best she can be. Children and maybe another dog should be okay. Make a visit to the shelter and see if she is the one you’ve been looking for.

See you soon.

Boris

To just say that Boris has character would be selling him short. Boris is a character. Silliness aside, he is a 6 year old Shih Tzu with a black and white coat. These little dogs are known for being independent and he lives up to that reputation. He will need to be groomed on a regular basis, so keep that in mind. No small children with this little man please.

Another dog should be okay.

Byron

Byron is such a love bug that we decided he should be able to share himself with as many people as he can. He is now residing at the Topeka Petco and being his adorable self. He is a 5 year old Domestic Short Hair mix with black grey tiger markings. He does great with other cats and is always ready for some chin scratches or lap time.

He’s a big guy at almost 18 lbs.

lilly

Lilly is a work in progress.

She is a sweet, shy little Labrador Retriever mix.

She is about 1 year old and has an all black coat.

She is a country girl and is hoping to be a big city girl. With some patience and work, she has some great potential. Another dog and a cat should be fine, but older kids might be best. She only weighs about 37 lbs., so she won’t be a big dog.

rosie

It wouldn’t be right of me to leave out the only cat we have for adoption at the Lawrence Petco.

Meet sweet Rosie. She is 3 years old and is a Domestic Short Hair mix with black brown tabby markings. We don’t know how she will do with another cat, but there are ways to introduce a new pet to your home, so give us a call if you need some guidance.

Go meet her today.

CHester

Chester has experience with cats, but would prefer to be around older kids. There aren’t too many Boxer mixes that weigh in at 84 lbs, but this big guy is an exception. He has a brown and black brindle coat and a nubby tail that wiggles along with the rest of him. If you have a dog already and want to add to the pack, bring your dog in to see how they do together.

PreCious

Let me tell you about a dog named Precious. She is a 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix and has a soft black with white coat.

She also is a sweet girl whose previous owner was not able to care for her anymore. All she needs is a person to share her cuddles with and she would be a happy girl. She’s willing to hang out with another dog and maybe even some kiddos to play with.

Whitman CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

school has received some money from parents and teachers, but still needs to raise about $2,000 to buy the signature, Carriger said.

Money is being collected through the school office and can be sent to LHS, c/o the Walt Whitman Signature Fund, 1901 Louisiana St., Lawrence, KS 66046.

Carriger said he hopes to promote the effort throughout April, which is National Poetry Month.

Pursuing the signature has been a joint effort of the English department, senior class and National Honor Society.

Carriger, a Whitman fan, said he came across the signature for sale several years back and was reminded that Whitman had visited Lawrence. He thought that signature should be here in town instead of a gallery across the country.

He said the signature fell out of mind until this year, when the LHS National Honor Society was looking for projects to take on and the senior class was looking for class gift ideas. He suggested the Whitman signature.

Lee, who also is National Honor Society Secretary, said the seniors’ previous best gift idea was a microwave for the cafeteria. Classmates liked the signature idea, she said.

According to Bauman Rare Books, the company selling the signature, Whitman autographed the paper during a visit to Lawrence for the Old Settlers of Kansas quarter-centennial celebration of the settlement of the territory.

Invited to the celebration by Col. John W. Forney, Whitman stayed two days at Lawrence Mayor John Usher’s house at 1425 Tennessee St. (currently home to Beta Theta Pi fraternity), according to Robert R. Hubach’s “Walt Whitman in Kansas,” an article from Kansas Historical Quarterlies.

Whitman “was deeply interested in the Antislavery cause; his unbounded faith in democracy and freedom is evident in many pages of ‘Leaves of Grass.’ As early as 1872, Whitman had contributed two poems, ‘The Mystic Trumpeter’ and ‘Virginia — the West,’ the latter of which dealt with the Secession, to the first issue of The Kansas Magazine,” according to the article.

Whitman was billed to read a poem at the celebration but did not, which his hosts attributed to poor health and fatigue from travel, the article said. However, Whitman enjoyed his visit to Lawrence and its Kansas University campus, later writing that Lawrence and Topeka were “bustling, half-rural handsome cities.”

Carriger said Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” is part of the junior English curriculum at LHS, so students are familiar with his writing.

He said the goal would be to display the signature where students and community members could enjoy it, make a connection to Lawrence and literary history and also be inspired.

Observers might “understand there are things that are bigger than just us, and that words matter,” Carriger said.

Dear Annie: I am the mother of a 4-yearold girl. My mother, “Edna,” watches her for a few hours every Friday while I’m at work.

Last Friday, after I brought my daughter home, she told me, “Grandma was crying today and told me that ‘Grandma Kitty’ is not my grandma.” Annie, Grandma Kitty is my Dad’s fiancée. Kitty was the reason for my parents’ divorce 12 years ago. Dad and Kitty have been together ever since.

We have found it easiest to differentiate between grandmothers by saying, “Grandma Edna,” ‘’Grandma Kitty” and, for my husband’s mom, “Grandma Dina.” I try not to mention either my father or Kitty when my mom is around, knowing she is still quite bitter. But I

am aware that she tries to pry information out of my daughter.

I know my mother’s feelings are still hurt, but my daughter doesn’t understand why she shouldn’t call my father’s fiancee “Grandma Kitty.” How can I get my mom to accept this? — Too Many Grandmas Dear Too: Acceptance may be asking too much. But you can certainly set boundaries and make them stick.

Get ready for religious miniseries Easter Sunday will bring two ambitious miniseries about the birth of great religions. You can’t get more epic than “A.D. The Bible Continues” (8 p.m. Sunday, NBC). Produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, the 12-hour miniseries explores the moments leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus (Juan Pablo Di Pace) and the actions of Jewish elders and Romans, including Caiaphas (Richard Coyle) and Pontius Pilate (Vincent Regan), both before and after that fateful day. Greta Scacchi stars as Mary, and Adam Levy as Peter.

In many ways “A.D.” tries to play it two, or too many, ways.

Belief in Christ’s resurrection is a matter of faith, and this credibly acted and special effectsfilled production is clearly for the faithful who followed “The Bible” (7 p.m. tonight, History), also produced by Burnett and Downey.

But “A.D.” tries to transcend its passion play origins to become a political thriller and present the real-life motivations of the leaders of Israel, their Roman occupiers, Jewish zealots and early Christians. Playing “The Greatest Story Ever Told” as “House of Cards” may be “A Bridge Too Far” for both believers and the non-observant.

For those keeping score, the Starz premium network recently became second only to HBO in subscribers, edging out Showtime. Some of that popularity must be due to its adaptation of the historical romance “Outlander” (8 p.m.), returning to complete its first season with new episodes. A second season is already in the works.

Iran pact will be better once it’s signed Washington — The most compelling argument President Obama made for the nuclear framework deal with Iran was also the simplest one: The pact, once concluded, would be preferable to any realistic alternative.

It’s not a perfect agreement, and certainly not a permanent solution to the threat an aggressive Iran poses for Israel and other nations in the Middle East. But the framework delivered more than many skeptics had feared. The problem is that the enervating bargaining will continue for another three months (at least) before the accord is final.

Obama defended the deal by invoking the early arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union, which had far more loopholes and potential dangers than the Iran pact. But those U.S.Soviet accords, as Obama said, “made our world safer.” From Switzerland, a sleep-deprived but determined Secretary of State John Kerry stressed that the agreement was better than the “unacceptable” status quo.

What’s worrisome is that this deal still isn’t done: There’s no final handshake. All the late-night sessions and threats to break off the talks weren’t enough to get Iran to commit formally to the terms the U.S. laid out in a meticulous, four-page list of “parameters” for a binding “joint comprehensive plan.” The Iranians instead postponed that signoff to another day, after the final, final negotiations.

“

The tentative terms of the deal, as described in the American ‘parameters’ memo, actually exceed what many had thought possible.”

One signal of the incompleteness of what was announced Thursday was the mismatch between the detail-rich U.S. fact sheet and the thin, page-and-ahalf statement read jointly by European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. “We can now restart drafting the text and annexes (of the final agreement), guided by the solutions developed in these days,” the joint EU-Iranian document said. That hardly sounded like hitting the “done” button.

The key U.S. point of leverage, if I read these documents accurately, is that economic sanctions against Iran won’t be removed until the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, veri-

ground facility at Fordow, longer than some had expected. The Iranians could enrich some uranium at Natanz, but only to the 3.67 percent level, vastly below weapons grade, and the stockpile of enriched material would be capped at 300 kilograms for 15 years.

Iranian research (or at least the fruits of it) would also be capped. About 1,000 advanced IR-2 centrifuges would be removed from Natanz, and no other advanced centrifuges could enrich uranium anywhere for at least 10 years. A heavy-water reactor at Arak would be reconfigured so it couldn’t produce bomb fuel.

Perhaps the most important part of the framework involves inspection and verification plans.

Here, too, the U.S. seems to have obtained most of what it wanted.

The IAEA could permanently monitor all of Iran’s nuclear facilities, using an intrusive measure known as the “additional protocol.” Inspection of Iran’s mines, mills and other elements of its nuclear supply chain would continue for 25 years. It’s a tougher package, in terms of preventing Iranian breakout, than many critics feared.

Zarif’s characterization of the deal was far different from Kerry’s or Obama’s. But such spindoctoring is to be expected in any negotiation. This looks like a pretty good deal. I just wish it were signed.

fies “implementation by Iran of its key nuclear commitments” after the final deal is struck.

Thus, it shouldn’t seem to be in Iran’s interest to stall.

A troubling aspect of the deal, in terms of leverage, is that once initial Iranian compliance is verified, all U.S. and U.N. economic and financial sanctions related to the nuclear issue would be lifted, and a new U.N. resolution would be drafted to guide future Iranian compliance. Yes, there’s a so-called “snap-back” provision that would allow sanctions to be reimposed if Iran were found to be violating the agreement. But that’s a formula for a potential U.N. nightmare.

The U.S. had hoped for something more stringent: A calibrated reduction in sanctions, in which Iran would have to earn each additional concession. That was seen as a constraint on Iranian behavior, and it was repeatedly stressed by Kerry to the Iranians. It’s hard to be sure, because information is still fragmentary, but the U.S. seems to have softened its terms on this key issue.

That’s worrisome.

The tentative terms of the deal, as described in the American “parameters” memo, actually exceed what many had thought possible. The Iranians would be allowed to operate 5,060 centrifuges for the next 10 years, rather than the 6,000 or 6,500 that earlier leaks had suggested. For 15 years, enrichment would be banned at the hardened, under-

“The month of March was a record breaker, it only being equaled in the years 1906 and 1912 by the low temperature which prevailed throughout the month…. Snow fell on but four of the days of the month … The heaviest snow of the winter fell on the fifth of the month when the snow measured 10.3 inches. The greatest feature of the month was that there was not a single day in which the sun shone the entire day.

Debate will change if ACA is threatened Five years after enactment of the Affordable Care Act, the political debate between its supporters and its opponents continues to rage with remarkably little change.

But the success of the law in extending insurance coverage to millions of Americans could dramatically change the terms of that debate if either the latest congressional Republican legislative assaults or a pending Supreme Court case threatens its future, enabling the Democrats to regain the offensive for the first time since the law was passed.

Predictable statements from both sides marked the law’s recent anniversary.

President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies used the occasion to cite the increasing statistical evidence that the landmark measure has succeeded in sharply reducing the number of Americans without health care coverage, slowing the growth rate of health care costs and proving less costly than even some backers had feared.

In those five years, the White House says, 16.4 million Americans have gained health insur-

ance, reducing the percentage of uninsured Americans from 20.3 percent to 12.9 percent and the law’s projected 10-year cost by some $116 billion.

Republican critics, meanwhile, continue to denounce Obamacare as unworkable and costly. And they’re using their new congressional majorities to plot its destruction via the same legislative procedure the Democrats used to pass it while hoping the high court will help them by ruling out a key element in financing it.

Critics claim that the law has increased average deductibles by 40 percent for families, cost many people their existing insurance and imposed tax increases that have helped to slow the economic recovery from the Great Recession.

Last week, both House and Senate passed budgets that included provisions directing their legislative committees to draft measures to repeal the law. They plan to include it in the reconciliation measure that would implement their budget, since the Senate’s GOP majority can pass that without fear of a Democratic filibuster.

But the fate of any legislative challenge remains questionable as long as President Obama is in office, prepared to wield his veto pen. Meanwhile, supporters of the law are more concerned about the pending Supreme Court case challenging the validity of tax credits for more than 7.5 million people who purchased health insurance from the federal government’s exchange, rather than from ones operated in 13 states.

Some congressional Republicans have indicated that, if the court sides with the challenge, they would press forward with an alternative to the Affordable Care Act that would preserve such popular features as the protection against being denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions and raising the age for

letting young people remain on their parents’ insurance plans.

In any case, if either legislation or the Supreme Court cripples the law, and Congress fails to restore its principal provisions, the resulting debate could focus less on the merits of the law than on the impact of the loss of benefits for many of its 16 million beneficiaries, who have gained access to insurance or received expanded Medicaid benefits from many states.

That, in turn, could give the Democrats the political high ground they lacked as long as the debate centered on enactment of a law that a majority of Americans opposed. That’s because recent polls show only a minority wants to scrap it while a majority wants Congress and the Obama administration to find ways to fix its flaws.

But the prospect of a changed political climate shows no sign of stopping either the array of Republican presidential hopefuls vowing to repeal the law in 2017 or the congressional Republicans from proceeding against it now.

ulips are one of the surest signs of spring, emerging just after cheery yellow daffodils and just before the bulk of the landscape spreads its leaves.

Lawrence has a good display of tulips in parks, landscaped right-of-ways and home gardens, but if you really love a show, Shawnee County Parks and Recreation’s Tulip Time Festival is worth the short journey west.

The festival recognizes three especially grand displays of cheery tulip blossoms and beautiful garden space.

Tulip Time is officially April 10-26 this year, although blooms may open earlier or later depending on seasonal temperatures.

Visits are self-guided.

Two locations — the Ted Ensley Gardens at Lake Shawnee and Doran Rock Garden in Gage Park — are public park settings. The third location, Old Prairie Town and Botanical Garden, is located on the WardMeade Historic Site with slightly more restrictive visiting hours. Here are some details and what to expect:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved quickly Friday to condemn the framework agreement world powers reached with Iran on its nuclear program, calling it “a grave danger” that would “threaten the very survival” of Israel.

Netanyahu demanded in a televised appearance that any final terms reached with Iran include “clear and unambiguous Iranian commitment of Israel’s right to exist.”

He warned that Israel would not accept a deal that allows Iran to eventually build nuclear weapons — something he says this framework would eventually do.

His comments are at odds with President Obama’s statement on Thursday that the agreement would prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.

Netanyahu said his cabinet expressed unified opposition to the framework hours after the agreement was announced in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday.

Any move to eventually lift sanctions against Iran as part of the deal “would greatly bolster Iran’s economy (and) give Iran, therefore, tremendous means to propel its aggression and terrorism throughout the Middle East,” the Israeli prime minister said.

He noted that the deal to allow Iran to keep its nuclear program could “very well spark a nuclear

For investors, the March jobs report means that the Federal Reserve’s first interest-rate hike could be slowly receding in the distance.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy created 126,000 new jobs, the lowest since December 2013 and far below analysts’ estimates of 248,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 5.5%.

“It’s definitely a disappointing report,” says Jeffrey MacDonald, director of fixed income strategy at Fiduciary Trust Company International. “It really was under any estimate you could find.”

arms race ... and it would greatly increase the risks of terrible war.”

The alternative is to toughen sanctions until “a good deal is achieved,” he said.

Netanyahu called President Obama Thursday night to relay his opposition. The Prime Minister’s office tweeted the same statement Netanyahu made before a joint session of the U.S. Congress last month, that the deal does “not block Iran’s path to the bomb, it would pave it.”

After a week of talks in Switzerland, negotiators for the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany reached an understanding with Iran that the Islamic republic would limit its nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions.

Obama defended the agreement on Thursday, saying it calls for stringent U.N. inspections to make sure Iran limits its nuclear program to peaceful, civilian purposes, and not for developing a weapon. He said sanctions would remain in place until Iran complied with the terms of the agreement.

disappointing jobs report, and you have a Fed that’s unlikely to raise interest rates at its June meeting. A strong dollar hurts U.S. manufacturing, because it makes exports more expensive.

“The evidence is very clear that the U.S. dollar is having a stronger than realized negative impact on the U.S. economy,” says Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial.

The Fed has noted that its actions will be data dependent, meaning that they will wait for fairly conclusive evidence of a strong jobs market before raising short-term interest rates. “The rate hike is probably a September or later event,” MacDonald says.

For savers, that means yet another few months of earning nothing on their bank CDs and money market funds. The bond market, which is only happy when it rains, rallied in the report, pushing bond prices up and yields down. The bellwether 10year Treasury note yield fell to 1.82% on the news.

The market was closed for Good Friday, but even at current levels, stocks remain more attractive than bonds and money funds.

One bright spot: Average hourly earnings gained 2.1% the past 12 months, MacDonald says, vs.

2% year-over-year in February.

Black box shows co-pilot sped up plane before crash He also had studied cockpit door security Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

The second black box recovered from the crash site of a Germanwings airliner confirms that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane and even increased its speed before the Airbus A320 slammed into the French Alps, killing 150 people, French investigators said Friday.

France’s BEA aviation investigators said Andreas Lubitz, the

27-year-old co-pilot, “used the automatic pilot to put the airplane on a descent towards altitude of 100 feet,” France24 reports. “Then several times the pilot modified the automatic pilot settings to increase the speed of the airplane as it descended.”

Information from the first black box, which captured conversations in the cockpit, had confirmed Lubitz locked out his pilot, who could be heard shouting and banging on the cockpit door for almost 10 minutes.

In Marseille, prosecutor Brice Robin underlined French investigators’ conviction that Lubitz was conscious until the moment of

The second black box, which records data such as speed and al-

titude, was found buried at the crash site on Thursday.

Lubitz spent time online researching suicide and cockpit door security in the week before crashing Flight 9525, prosecutors said Thursday — the first evidence that the fatal descent may have been a premeditated act.

German prosecutors have said Lubitz’s medical records from before he received his pilot’s license referred to “suicidal tendencies,” and Lufthansa, Germanwings’ parent company, said it knew six years ago that Lubitz had had an episode of “severe depression” before he finished his flight training.

UNIVERSITY ATTACK

‘Bloodthirsty’ militants hunted Kenya asks for help in search after deadly siege Tonny Unyulo and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

GARISSA , KENYA

The Kenyan government appealed for help Friday in capturing nine men, described as “bloodthirsty, armed and dangerous,” in the wake of an attack on Garissa University that left 147 people dead.

Attackers from the Somalibased terror group al-Shabab told university students before they were killed that “this is the beginning of more attacks” targeting schools and universities in the country, the Kenya-based Standard reported.

Four gunmen were killed Thursday as security forces moved to end the 15-hour siege, which appeared to target Christians and Islamic converts. Two security guards, one policeman and one soldier were among the dead. At least 79 people were injured, and more than 500 students held hostage were rescued.

The mortuaries in Garissa, near the Somali border, were so overwhelmed they had to ship many of the bodies to the capital of Nairobi, 200 miles away, the BBC reported.

The government is evacuating students who survived the Thursday terror attack, but many parents still don’t know about the fate of their children.

when I received bad news about the attack, but she didn’t pick my calls,” said Eunice Wangari, a mother of three. “I don’t know if she’s still alive or not. The government is taking too long to identify the bodies. I am very stressed.”

Judith Musyoka, 45, and Boaz Musyoka, 55, are still searching for their son, Sammy Mutiso Musau, in the wake of the attack that killed 147 students and staff.

“I don’t know if my son is still alive,” said Boaz. “When I heard the news about terror attack I called him several times, but his phone was not going through. I need to know his fate.”

A curfew was imposed for two weeks on Garissa and three neighboring counties. Cabinet Secretary of Education Jacob Kaimenyi ordered the university closed for an unspecified period, sending many students lugging suitcases onto buses Friday.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) advised teachers in the region to leave immediately if they felt unsafe.

“We will not allow our teachers to risk their lives working in an insecure environment,” said Willison Sosion, chairman of KNUT, who called for Garissa University to be closed permanently.

Garissa Gov. Nathif Jama Adam condemned the attack and demanded the government address security in the region to stop locals from leaving.

“I want to plead with Kenyans to stay here as we work with the government to boost security in our region,” he said, in particular appealing to Christians in the region. “We’ll not allow terrorists to divide our people on religion lines.”

last year.

National chairperson of the National Muslim Council of Kenya, Nazlin Umar Fazaldin Rajput, criticized the government for failing to shore up security after Somali-based militants attacked civilians in retaliation for Kenyan military operations against their base in Somalia. Kenya began those operations in 2011 after a spate of kidnappings.

“All it took was four poorly armed terrorists against our entire intelligence and armed forces. This is a shame,” she said.

“It is not the terrorist who is an enemy, the enemy is our failed security apparatus and the officers charged with those dockets.”

A German container ship spotted him around 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras, N.C. Jordan’s 35-foot sailboat had lost its mast and capsized, Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss said.

But the boat was upright when rescuers found it, Pecora said.

Jordan injured his shoulder, Pecora said, but didn’t explain how that happened. He was released from Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Virginia early Friday.

“It’s been very difficult not knowing anything, and I just feel like all of our prayers have come true.”

Fish, rainwater help S.C. man to survive

The story of Louis Jordan’s survival is nothing short of amazing.

Jordan, who had been missing for more than two months, was rescued Thursday after he was found 200 miles off the coast of North Carolina, the Coast Guard said.

“I had many moments where I thought I was going to die,” said Jordan, 37, of Conway, S.C. Jordan had been living on his docked sailboat at Bucksport Plantation Marina in Conway until Jan. 23, when he told his family he was “going into the open water to sail and do some fishing,” said his mother, Norma Davis, of Jacksonville, N.C. The family had not heard from him since and reported him missing Jan. 29.

“I was planning on going out to get some fish and come back,” he told Good Morning America. “I didn’t plan on it taking that long.”

Instead, his boat became disabled. Jordan survived eating the food he had on his boat, by collecting rainwater and using a net to catch fish, said Lt. Krystyn Pecora, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.

He managed to stay hydrated by going inside his boat’s cabin a lot, she said.

Briefs to keep gay marriage bans flood high court It’s the most heavily lobbied case in years Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Republican officials and religious organizations dominate a growing list of more than 50 groups urging the Supreme Court to uphold state bans against same-sex marriage.

The flood of “friend of the court” briefs arriving by Friday’s deadline made the upcoming case the most heavily lobbied in the court’s recent history. Earlier this month, more than 70 briefs were filed by gay-marriage proponents.

Fifteen states led by RepubliWASHINGTON

can governors were among those calling for the bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee to be upheld. Among them were eight states where same-sex marriage bans have been struck down by federal courts — an indication that the battle there and elsewhere will be renewed if the justices uphold the bans.

“How much better for this issue to play out, state-by-state, with citizens locked in urgent conversation,” the red states’ brief says. States signing on include Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah and West Virginia, where federal appeals court rulings have struck down gay marriage bans.

The court refused to reconsider those decisions in October.

Last month, 18 states submitted briefs opposing same-sex marriage bans, including some with Republican governors.

The flood of briefs is indicative of what’s at stake. Unlike 2013, when the court ruled 5-4 that the federal government must grant benefits to legally married gays and lesbians, the justices likely will decide this June on same-sex marriage rights nationwide. The case will be heard April 28.

Fifty-seven Republican members of Congress called on the court to use restraint: “The relative novelty of same-sex marriage weighs against the mandatory redefinition of marriage.”

Only six senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and presidential

candidate Ted Cruz of Texas, signed the brief, along with 51 members of the House. Missing were House Speaker John Boehner and other White House hopefuls, including Sens. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops focused on marriage as a traditional institution that “furthers the interests and wellbeing of children.”

2016: CLARITY FOR DEMS, NONE FOR REPUBLICANS No potential presidential candidate in modern-day politics has held as large a lead in the bid for a nomination as Hillary Clinton currently enjoys.

An ABC/Washington Post poll last week showed 66% of Democrats favoring Clinton.

Since the rise of party primaries in the 1970s, every candidate with the support of at least 40% of his party in polls this far out from the election has eventually won the nomination.

George H. W. Bush was the last candidate to be leading with less than 40% at this point who wound up as nominee. That’s bad news for Jeb Bush, who was the top choice of Republicans in the poll, but with only 33%.

DIFFERING VIEWS OF IRAN Even before the U.S. and five other nations reached an accord with Iran to limit Tehran’s nuclear program, pollsters had tested the public’s potential reaction to the agreement. uOnly a week ago, more than two-thirds of those polled by Pew said they had heard little or nothing about the negotiations. uA Gallup Poll in February showed 84% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Iran. uOver half of those polled by Fox last week said the U.S “can’t trust anything” said by Iran.

Cardin takes Menendez’s spot atop Foreign Relations

His views are sharply different on Cuba, Iran

“America is always stronger when we speak with one voice on foreign-policy issues.”

Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland is replacing Sen. Robert Menendez as top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as Menendez temporarily leaves the post to battle federal corruption charges.

Menendez of New Jersey, a vocal critic of U.S. policies on Cuba and Iran, stepped down Wednesday after prosecutors charged him with participating in a longrunning bribery scheme. Menendez, who has denied the charges, will remain on the committee in a non-leadership position.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s office announced Cardin’s new role Thursday.

“America is always stronger when we speak with GETTY IMAGES one voice on Robert foreign-policy Menendez issues,” Cardin said Thursday. “The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has an important role in defining that unified voice for America.”

Cardin’s tone and priorities offer a contrast with Menendez, particularly on Cuba. Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants, has challenged President Obama’s decision to move toward normalizing relations with Cuba, saying the shift will be “a bad deal for the Cuban people.”

“Cardin is a moderate centrist, and he is unlikely to go to war with the administration on most issues because they’re roughly in the same ballpark.”

WEAPONS FIRED IMPROPERLY IN CHASE OF BOMB SUSPECTS

A Massachusetts state report about the Boston Marathon bombing that has been two years in the making found police fired weapons improperly or without

authority in their zeal to catch the suspects, creating dangerous crossfire situations.

The report, released Friday, was a review of the public safety, public health and medical response to the bombings. The suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were on the run for three days before they were found. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a shootout with police in a suburban neighborhood. He also was struck by a vehicle driven by his brother.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, was found the next day injured and hiding in a boat. He is currently on trial on charges of using a weapon of mass destruction in a bomb attack that killed three people and injured 260. He is facing a 30-count indictment, including 17 counts that could carry the death penalty.

The report recommended better discipline from officers on when to fire their weapons, better coordination among law enforcement agencies and the creation of a center to coordinate all the agencies working together.

Several people convicted in Bharara’s widespread crackdown on insider trading have publicly declared that they, too, should be exempt under the appeals court decision.

Hedge fund manager Doug Whitman, who is serving a twoyear prison sentence after his conviction in 2012, recently filed a motion to vacate his conviction on similar grounds.

Cold winter, oil slide show up in March results Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Economists don’t view the government’s report Friday of a skimpy 126,000 job gains in March as a harbinger of sluggish payroll growth in 2015, but several anticipate a slowdown from last year's breakout advances.

Unseasonably cold weather and oil-industry layoffs helped snap a 12-month string of employment gains above 200,000 as the economy added the fewest jobs since December 2013.

The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.5%, the Labor Department said.

Economists surveyed by Action Economics expected 248,000 payroll additions. Adding to the disappointment was a 69,000 downward revision to job gains in January and February. As a result, monthly payroll growth averaged 197,000 in the first quarter, down from 317,000 in the October-December period.

Yet low initial jobless claims continue to point to a healthy labor market, says Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

“The data can be volatile and one disappointment after a series of upside surprises is not very concerning,” he wrote in a research note.

Besides the nasty weather, the economy has been feeling the aftereffects of a West Coast ports labor dispute that snarled shipments.

But other economic headwinds, including the energy-related job losses and a strong dollar that’s hurting manufacturers’ exports, could persist.

After notching average monthly job increases of 260,000 last year, a 15-year high, payroll growth should average a still-solid 200,000 to 225,000 the rest of the year “as economic activity moderates to a more sustainable trend,” predicts Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist of Barclays Capital.

Wage growth, which has been sluggish throughout the recovery, ticked up modestly in March. Average hourly earnings increased 7 cents to $24.86 an hour. Over the

job growth ahead.

Last month, businesses added 129,000 jobs, and federal, state and local governments cut 3,000.

The mining and logging industry, which includes oil and gas companies, cut 11,000 jobs. Oil producers and related service companies have announced about 80,000 layoffs since December amid a sharp drop in crude prices. Manufacturers that supply the industry also have planned an additional 10,000.

Manufacturers overall, which are exporting fewer goods because of the strong dollar, lost 1,000 jobs. Construction companies also trimmed 1,000.

Some industries maintained at least a moderate pace of job growth. Professional and business services led the gains with 40,000.

Health care added 30,000; retail, 26,000; and leisure and hospitality, 13,000.

The few other bright spots included a fall of 146,000, to 2.6 million, in the number of Americans out of work at least six months.

And a broader measure of joblessness called the underemployment rate — which includes discouraged workers who have stopped looking for jobs and parttime employees who prefer fulltime work as well as the unemployed — slipped to 10.9% from 11%.

of illegal insider trading a person must have direct knowledge of the insider doling out the tips and know that he or she was in the wrong. The court said the government must also prove that the tippee knows the tipper received some sort of benefit in exchange for the information provided.

The ruling threatens to undo a chunk of the government’s work on insider trading since its Wall Street crackdown kicked off in 2007. In particular, it threatens cases in which the alleged trader was not in direct contact with the tipster but instead dealing with someone one, two or even three steps removed from the original source of information.

“They are not going to motivate until it is absolutely necessary,” she said. “If you look at these small practices, a lot of them just run on a shoestring.”

This year’s assessments of big groups were based on patients seen in 2013. A total of $11 million of the $1.2 billion Medicare pays doctors is being given out as bonuses, which translates to a 5% payment increase for those 14 groups getting increases this year.

That money came from low performers and those that did not report quality measures to Medicare’s satisfaction; they are losing up to 1%.

The amount any of these groups lose will depend on the number and nature of the services they provide. This year, 268 medical groups were exempted because at least one of their doctors was participating in one of the government’s experiments in providing care differently.

Officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services declined to be interviewed but said in a prepared statement that they have been providing all doctors with reports showing their quality and costs. “We hope that this information will provide meaningful information to physicians so that they may improve the coordination and integration of the health care provided to beneficiaries,” the statement said.

terest and one-half of your selfemployment tax. (See IRS publication 590.)

The drawback with a traditional IRA is that you’ll face a 10% tax penalty if you withdraw before the year in which you turn 59½.

You’ll also have to pay ordinary income taxes on your entire withdrawal, no matter when you take it.

In most cases, though, you’d be better off putting your money into a Roth IRA and skipping the tax deduction from a traditional IRA. Why? A Roth IRA lets you put after-tax money away for retirement. You won’t get a tax deduction for your contribution. But all your withdrawals are tax-free, as-

suming you’ve had the account for five years and you’re at least age 59½.

You can withdraw your principal tax-free at any time. Under certain conditions, such as qualified education expenses and the first-time purchase of a home, you can dodge the early withdrawal penalty on earnings. In

most cases, the deduction you get today from a traditional IRA isn’t worth giving up the flexibility of a Roth.

Your ability to contribute to a Roth is also limited by your modified adjusted gross income. Joint filers who make more than $191,000 can’t make any contribution. Single filers who make more than $129,000 can’t, either.

Fortunately, you don’t need $5,500 (or $6,500, if you’re older) to contribute to an IRA. If you promise to contribute $100 a month, you can open an IRA at Charles Schwab & Co. for an initial investment of $100. And TD Ameritrade has a $0 minimum to open an IRA. What kind of IRA should you open? If you’re young, it should be in a stock fund. Over the long

term — 20 years or more — you’ll fare better in stocks than you would in a bank CD or a bond fund.

If you want an actively managed fund, the Buffalo funds will let you start with $250. They offer a variety of aggressive funds, such as Buffalo Growth (ticker: BUFGX), which has beaten 79% of its peers the past decade, according to Morningstar. Homestead Value (HOVLX), another fund with a fine long-term record, will let you open an IRA for $200.

But you’re probably best served with a low-cost index fund. These funds jettison the manager and simply follow a broad stock market index, such as the Standard and Poor’s 500 stock index. Because they charge so little on an ongoing basis, they

often have higher minimums than other funds.

For example, the Vanguard Total Stock Index fund (VTSMX) requires $3,000 to open an IRA. Fidelity Spartan Total Market Index fund (FSTMX) requires $2,500. And T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 (PREIX) requires $1,000.

Over the long term, index funds’ low expenses give you an enormous edge. If that means you have to save a bit longer to fund your IRA, well, that’s not the worst thing in the world.

You won’t be able to retire on $1,000 from an IRA, unless you live to 500 or so. You’ll have to add to it over time. But what’s important is that you start saving.

Shaving your tax bill is just a nice bonus.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

The Tudorera clothes and living quarters depicted in Wolf Hall look drastically different from today’s, but some things — namely humans and how they get along — may not have changed that much in 500 years.

The six-part PBS Masterpiece presentation (Sunday, 10 p.m. ET/ PT), based on two Hilary Mantel novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, makes that point as it examines the relationship between powerful and impulsive King Henry VIII (Damian Lewis, in his first role since exiting Homeland) and his smart, calculating adviser, Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance, The Gunman).

“This is a very modern tale of political intrigue and manipulation in the halls of power, something we can relate to,” says Lewis, who plays a younger, more athletic Henry than the one often seen in paintings. Cromwell, too, connects to modern times as “an upwardly mobile talent of lower birth. He’s like (Henry’s) consigliere.“ Henry needs good advice, as the Tudor king maneuvers a coming religious and political breakup with the powerful Roman Catholic church while focusing on personal (but also political) tasks, such as obtaining a marriage annulment and producing a male heir.

He gets able counsel from Cromwell, the son of a blacksmith, whose stature rises while working for the king’s lord chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey (Jonathan Pryce).

Cromwell, who faces personal tragedy early in the series, is defined from the beginning of Mantel’s first novel, when his father orders him, “So now get up,” as he administers a beating.

Throughout life, “he gets up from whatever hardship he encounters,” says Rylance. “He’s always looking for the best way through a difficult situation. He’s a great lesson in survival with integrity, with wit,” and a dry demeanor that reminds Rylance of actor Robert Mitchum.

Cromwell has a complicated relationship with Henry, a man with huge responsibilities of country and church who’s “ kind of a child, too,” Rylance says. “He perceives him with great affec-

“He’s not thought of as a hero, so the redheaded cause doesn’t immediately run to Henry VIII as a role model.”

‘Retirement’ concert footage places a new emphasis on a talent that was timeless

HBO’s Sinatra: All or Nothing at All came to life as an archaeological find of sorts.

Frank Marshall, producer of the Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Bourne Identity film franchises, discovered a trove of Frank Sinatra recordings and material, some of it not previously shown in public, at his daughter Nancy’s house. The find fortifies the twonight, four-hour documentary on the performer.

“There were all these film boxes stacked in a bedroom. It was sort of like finding the Ark of the Covenant. We opened the door and this glow came out of the room,” Marshall says. “I slowly opened one of the boxes, hoping that it wasn’t dust. And when I looked inside, there it was, pristine, well-preserved, 16-millimeter film.”

The big discovery was film from a 1971 Los Angeles performance billed as Sinatra’s “retirement” concert — ultimately it wasn’t — that becomes the backbone of the film, timed to the 100th anniversary of the singer’s birth,

in 1915. He died in 1998.

“It was this magnificent footage, not shot in a traditional, glitzy way that you would normally do for a TV special,” says director and Oscar winner Alex Gibney, who also directed last week’s HBO documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. “Frankly, that’s its charm and power. There’s an intimacy and authenticity in it and also a bit of amateurishness.”

The 11 songs picked by the singer, then 55, “serve an important narrative function,” Gibney says.

“Sinatra never wrote an autobiography, so it was my interpretation that this retirement concert was ... his way of telling his own story.”

The film traces Sinatra’s life, from his boyhood in Hoboken, N.J., to pop-star fame; a health-related rejection from service in World War II; home life with a growing family; a slump in his singing career; a movie career that includes an Oscar (From Here

to Eternity); and a love life that included marriages to Ava Gardner and Mia Farrow.

Having the cooperation of Sinatra’s family, including first wife Nancy — “still a pistol” at 97, Gibney says — and the couple’s children, Nancy, Frank Jr. and Tina, was “super-important. They provided materials we wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise.”

Gibney, who had final cut of the film, says the family never constrained him in any important way from telling Sinatra’s story.

“There were times we had disagreements as they saw cuts, (but) I think we’ve come out of it in a pretty good place,” he says.

“It’s a birthday celebration. It’s not an investigative film. I feel it’s a good portrait of the man.”

Marshall, whose father Jack, a jazz guitarist, worked with Sinatra, says he hopes the film will appeal to everyone.

“The music is timeless.

There’s nobody else out there who tells stories in the way he phrases and sings them,” he says.

“He also was a guy who had his ups and downs and always came back. He epitomized what it was like to be an American.”

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE COMING AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

NFL to hire first female official In a groundbreaking move, the NFL is hiring Sarah Thomas as its first female permanent official for regular-season games, according to sources.

A former official for Conference USA football games, Thomas joins the NFL, along with seven other officials for next season.

The Mississippi native has previously officiated NFL preseason games, working as a line judge.

Thomas was one of 21 finalists for a permanent officiating job two years ago.

“She has the right temperament and attitude and feel for the game,” an officiating source told The Baltimore Sun. “She knows the rules and understands how to apply them in the spirit of the rules. That sets her apart, male or female.”

The NFL didn’t confirm Thomas’ hire, with an official announcement expected as soon as next week MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Santana suspended 80 games for drug Fort Myers, Fla. — Minnesota Twins pitcher Ervin Santana was suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball on Friday after testing positive for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol.

In a statement released through the players’ union, Santana said he was surprised by the news but does not plan to appeal. New to the Twins this year, he’ll miss the first half of the season.

This was the third penalty for a positive Stanozolol test reported by MLB in the last eight days, following Seattle pitcher David Rollins and Atlanta pitcher Arodys Vizcaino.

Santana signed a four-year, $55 million contract with the Twins after pitching last season with Atlanta. The 32-year-old righty will lose $5,901,639 of his $13.5 million salary this season.

Arbitrator rules MLB can’t judge Hamilton New York — Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton will not be disciplined by Major League Baseball for his latest problems involving cocaine and alcohol.

MLB said Friday the decision was made by an arbitrator appointed under its joint drug program with the players’ association. MLB said in a statement it disagreed with the decision and will “seek to address deficiencies in the manner in which drugs of abuse are addressed under the program in the collective bargaining process.”

Hamilton, a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL MVP, is subject to the treatment program for prior violations involving cocaine stretching back a decade.

games, he blocked 29 shots and averaged a team-leading 7.3 rebounds.

As a graduate transfer student, he will be eligible to play in games next season.

“Gone (going to) finish my college career at either Pittsburgh, Kansas or Illinois. Gone make my decision April 25th. God will lead me in the right direction,” Thorne wrote on Instagram.

He had heard from more than 40 schools, including seven from the ACC, plus Minnesota, West Virginia, Arizona and Xavier.

“I want to see good chemistry with the team, and get to know the coaching staff,” Thorne told Illinois.rivals.com after announcing his finalists. “I want a coach who is really good at developing big men and a coach who can help me get to the next level.”

Of KU, Thorne told Illinois.rivals.com: “With them having an outstanding coach in Bill Self with a proven record of getting players to the next level, you know every day in practice he is going to get the best out of you and are going to give it your all. He has some tools to help me get to where I want to go. That’s also another place where I think I can thrive in that environment.”

Of Pitt, he told Illinois.rivals.com: “Coach (Jamie) Dixon is a good coach. He has a track record of sending bigs to the next level. Plus, it’s in the ACC, one of the best conferences in the country. You would get to play against the likes of Duke, North Carolina, and Notre Dame. So I think that would be a great fit.”

And of the Illini, he said: “I like them because

Diallo deciding: KU and Pitt are also two of the finalists for Cheick Diallo, a 6-9 senior from Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York.

Diallo also has St. John’s, Iowa State and Kentucky on his list.

Diallo, who averaged 19 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks a game his senior season, is expected to decide before Thorne’s visit to KU, around the time of the Jordan Brand Classic (April 17 in New York).

“I’m just thinking about it, but I’m not 100 percent now. Not sure yet,” Diallo told New York Newsday after winning MVP honors at Wednesday’s McDonald’s game. “I’m waiting to know which players are going to the NBA or which players are staying. So that’s what I’m waiting for.” l

Shaka’s style: New Texas coach Shaka Smart took what some perceived as a shot at KU at his introductory news conference when asked how he thinks his pressing style will fare in the Big 12.

“It translated pretty well a few years ago in San Antonio,” Smart said as reported by Brian Davis of the Austin American Statesman. Smart’s VCU team beat KU in the Elite Eight in 2011. KU coach Self declined comment on the statement.

Tennis still kind of working to get that under control.

But it’s working really well. … I’m much more aggressive. I hit a more powerful ball now that my grip has changed. I have a much better serve, and I’m more consistent all-around.”

The Lions have a younger squad this year, but they’ve already shown solid improvement in their first few matches.

“I was very pleased,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said. “Last year we kind of struggled against them. I was pretty impressed with the way we handled the wind. We played with confidence, and we played pretty well today.”

The Seahawks opened the season Thursday against Lincoln College Prep in Kansas City and were able to get some extra matches Friday because they were outnumbered by the LHS roster.

“We actually had only started practice on March 23, when they got

I see it as place where I can fit in right away. I feel like I’m the missing piece that can help the school get back to the NCAA Tournament and advance in the tournament. Coach (John) Groce is a great guy, and it’s another great conference, so that would be a good fit for me as well.”

“Just getting after it for two weeks and then being able to play in these matches — just for the experience, I think, is pretty big. Monday we’ll get into more fundamental-type of things.”

Seabury picked up a win in No. 2 singles from Noah Yoshida in a tiebreaker, 6-5 (7-3), and Thomas DiZerega won at No. 6 singles, 6-4.

“Honestly I wasn’t too happy with my performance,” Yoshida said. “I haven’t played since regionals last year besides a few practices. I don’t think I brought my ‘A’

holes on the road to Indianapolis.

The Blue Devils went through a lull in January, losing to North Carolina State and getting pounded by Miami. Junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon was booted from the team, the first player to be dismissed by Krzyzewski in 35 seasons. And there were times when the trio the upper-left part of the arc with 5.7 seconds left and made his second straight game-winning three-pointer.

But overall, I was pretty satisfied considering it was my first match.”

Yoshida is expected to be one of the top players on the team, along with Jack Edmonds and Taylor Hodge, who plays with the boys because there’s no girls tennis team at Seabury.

“I think we’re pretty good this year, honestly,” Yoshida said. “We’re a bunch of juniors and sophomores. This year and also next year I’m really excited for.”

The Lions will face Bonner Springs in a dual at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at LHS.

of Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow looked like wide-eyed freshmen rather than superstar prospects.

All those growing pains? They turned Duke into a monster by March.

“It’s just special. You can just feel it in the air now, how important it is, what it means to be here,” Jones said. most nine rebounds this season and likely will go in the first round of the NBA Draft, said he would have returned for his senior season either way.

Still, the loss — and the way it went down — left a mark.

“It’s obviously motivating because you want to come back to this stage,” Kaminsky said. “This is what seasons are remembered for.”

Stillwater, Okla. — Kansas University used a four-run fourth to pull away in an eventual 10-5 Big 12 softball victory over Oklahoma State on Friday at Cowgirl Stadium.

KU led, 3-2, before the big fourth.

OSU (17-20 overall, 1-4 Big 12) actually outhit No. 23-ranked Kansas, 9-8, but the Jayhawks (31-5, 2-3) were more efficient — and took advantage of eight walks.

“I am the happiest about how we continued to put pressure on them the entire game,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “We continued to have good atbats and kept putting runs on the board, so even if they got a couple of runs or a couple of hits, we were answering back every time, which I was proud of our team for doing that.”

Chaley Brickey went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three runs and three RBIs, and Jessie Roane went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Bryn Houlton (4-1) won after allowing five runs — three earned — off nine hits over five innings.

The series will conclude with a single game at 1 p.m. today.

Kansas 120 420 1 — 10 8 1 Oklahoma State 101 021 0 — 5 9 1 W — Bryn Houlton, 4-1. L — Jessi Haffner, 4-2.

Back-to-back homers power KC to 11-1 win Houston (ap) — Eric Hosmer and Brett Eibner hit homers on back-toback pitches in the eighth inning to help the Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros 11-1 on Friday night.

The Royals were up by two before Hosmer’s fourth home run of the spring landed in the Crawford Boxes in left field to make it 4-0. Eibner, a pinch hitter, sent the next pitch from Pat Neshek onto the concourse in left-center for his sixth homer this spring.

Neshek, signed in the offseason to beef up Houston’s bullpen, had allowed just one run and four hits in his previous

This time, he gave up three runs and three hits with a walk in one inning.

Edinson Volquez gave up five hits but no runs in his final exhibition start.

Chris Young, Jason Frasor, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis each pitched a shutout inning before the Astros got to closer Greg Holland for a run in the ninth when Evan Gattis homered.

Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain each had three hits for Kansas City.

The two teams will meet again at 3:05 p.m. today before the Royals return to Kansas City for their season opener against the Chicago White Sox.

‘Glue guys’ could make difference in Final Four

By Genaro C. Armas AP Sports Writer

Indianapolis — Reading a box score isn’t always the best way to measure guard Josh Gasser’s impact on a Wisconsin game.

Not unless the stat sheet also includes drawing charges, diving for loose balls and careening head-first toward the sideline to save a possession.

Meet the Badgers’ “glue guy.”

The senior is someone who “helps us win basketball games, makes plays that a lot of people don’t necessarily see that really change the course of the game,” teammate Frank Kaminsky said.

For all the attention deservedly heaped on Kaminsky, Gasser has had just as much of an impact during the Badgers’ twoyear run of Final Four appearances.

The other national semifinalists have those guys too. Often, it’s someone like Gasser who doesn’t need the attention lavished on a star like Kaminsky.

The definition of a glue guy could change depending on the makeup of a team.

On short-handed Duke, there’s more than one of those guys.

Sometimes, it’s someone who is more of an experienced scorer. On other teams, a glue guy could be a freshman.

The common quality is that they do a lot of the little things besides score, whether on or off the floor.

A look at Gasser and other glue guys to watch in the Final Four today: Wisconsin: Gasser averages 6.9 points a game, though he is also 40 percent shooter from threepoint range.

But he’s most valued as Wisconsin’s best on-ball defender, typically drawing the assignment of trying to shut down a team’s best scorer.

Gasser slides into the glue-guy role effortlessly, even though the high school scorer had to ad-

WISCONSIN’S JOSH GASSER, RIGHT, KNOCKS THE BALL LOOSE FROM PENN STATE’S D.J. NEWBILL during a December game. Good teams need players who do the little things — the ones who dive for loose balls, draw charges and throw their bodies into shutting down an opponent’s best scorer. For No. 5 Wisconsin, that guy is Gasser. just once he arrived in Madison. The goal was to do “anything I could to get on the court,” Gasser said.

“The reason I came to Wisconsin was so that I could win games, win championships and compete in championships,” Gasser said. “This year, we’ve definitely done that, and I think the wins speak for themselves, and I think that’s the proudest thing I have from my career.”

Kentucky: There are so many players to choose from coach John Calipari’s platoon. The coach himself loves the versatility of Trey Lyles, a 6-foot10 freshman.

He doesn’t have Gasser’s savvy or leadership qualities. But he does present some other problems for teams.

Big problems.

“Trey professionally will be a (power forward), a stretch four. He’s playing (small forward) for us. He’s playing like a small forward guard,” Calipari said. “He’s the one guy that is hard to guard, can make rebounds, plays hard, plays big.”

Duke: Everyone needs to contribute, with just eight scholarship players on the roster. For assistant coach Jon Scheyer, the Blue Devils’ glue guy is Matt Jones.

“One day it might be hitting a shot. One day it might an offensive rebound, loose balls — all

those things. Matt is going to do whatever it takes to win,” Scheyer said.

Jones is more of a natural for the role, the assistant said. He has started the last 11 games.

A game later, Duke moved junior forward Amile Jefferson to the bench.

One glue guy replaced another.

Scheyer said that Jefferson has had to adjust to learning how to play next to two freshman phenoms: Jabari Parker last season, and Jahlil Okafor this season.

“It can be anybody, but just someone who brings something to the team that needs a spark, energy, enthusiasm,” Jefferson said.

Michigan State: Denzel Valentine can stuff the stat sheet, averaging 14.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

“He can hurt you making a pass. He can hurt you knocking down a three. He can hurt you with his defense,” Spartans assistant coach Dwayne Stephens said.

But he does just as much off the court. If there is a big game or prize fight on TV over a weekend, the Spartans will gather at Valentine’s place. If accountability is necessary in the locker room, Valentine will speak up.

“Off the floor, he’s the kind of guy that kind of brings everybody together,” Stephens said.

Calipari, Kaminsky earn AP honors Indianapolis (ap) — John Calipari has been dealing with detractors for years.

They call him the embodiment of everything that’s wrong in the oneand-done world of college basketball. He’s a crook who landed two programs on probation, a snake-oil salesman who only won a national title because he was able to sell Kentucky to some top prospects.

Perhaps that perception has finally started to change.

After molding a roster full of McDonald’s All-Americans into a 38-0 juggernaut that’s two wins shy of another championship, Calipari was voted AP coach of the year on Friday.

He received 40 firstplace votes from the 65-member national media panel. Tony Bennett of Virginia was runner-

AGENT SPOTLIGHT Oliver Minnis Realtor

(785) 550-7945 oliverminnis@stephensre.com Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Lawrence, went to Lawrence High School, and I love everything that Lawrence has to offer. When I was in junior high school, I was fortunate to be a ball boy for the University of Kansas Men’s Basketball team. From that point forward, I knew that I would go to KU and become an official Jayhawk.

In 2003, I graduated from the University of Kansas and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

My parents still reside in Lawrence and their house is located on the Alvamar Orchards Golf Course. Since the golf course was in our back yard, my brother and I played every day, and I still get in a round of golf every once in a while.

My wife, Katie and I have remained in the area because we love the friendly people, the community, downtown Lawrence, the new and old neighborhoods, and everything that makes our town special and fun!

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

Katie and I live in the heart of Lawrence, near campus in a 1930’s Cape Cod house. We love our home, the character of the surrounding houses, the energy, and diverse age group of our neighborhood. In the fall, Katie and I always look forward to attending our neighborhood picnic and getting better acquainted with the young families, empty nesters, and retirees that live in our area.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

Most of my free time is spent with my wife, family, friends, and my dog Emerson. In addition, I play some golf, look at houses with Katie, and complete home improvement and landscape projects/renovations together.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

I became a Licensed Real Estate Agent with Stephens Real Estate in 2005 and I have been with the agency ever since. One of the reasons that I pursued a career in real estate is because my father has been a real estate agent since 1976 and he has been with Stephens since 1988. Stephens’ friendly staff, excellent resources, and exceptional talent makes it a perfect company to partner with.

What did you do before that?

When I graduated from KU in 2003, I moved to Denver, Colorado and secured a Technology Sales position. Within a short period of time, I missed Lawrence and discovered that the technology industry was not as fulfilling as working with individual clients. In 2005, I returned to town and began my real estate career. This is one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

What is your specialty?

I sell and list residential homes in older established neighborhoods, new construction, and everything in between. In order to be a successful realtor, it is important to consult with buyers to identify what they are truly looking for in a dream home, including style and select neighborhood. My specialty is matching the right house with the right family.

Since I have lived in Lawrence all of my life, I have acquired a large network of clients and resources that make finding and selling homes very attainable.

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold?

I recently listed and closed a 9,000 sq. ft. house in the Deerfield area. The home was grand, yet comfortable and charming. It was truly one of the most unique properties that I have ever seen. It contained a guest house, a putting green, and beams from the 1600’s in the kitchen that made the house very unique.

What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition?

1. Develop and maintain effective relationships with all of my clients.

Clients have also mentioned that they appreciate my professional advice, counseling, and assistance in making good decisions regarding listings, purchases, values, and contract negotiations.

2. Possess expert knowledge of the Lawrence real estate market.

3. Love my career and I am passionate about fulfilling my client’s home buying needs.

I have always been committed to obtaining professional leadership roles.

Some of my current and former appointments include:

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

State Director, Kansas Association of Realtors (KAR), 2014 - Present Board Member, Lawrence Board of Realtors, 2007 - 2013 President, Lawrence Board of Realtors, 2012 Leadership Lawrence Graduate, 2009

1. Remember that when a prospective buyer walks through your front door, you want them to be impressed and fall in love with your home. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is presenting a clean, fresh look.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?

One of the biggest challenges of being a realtor is being around families during one of the most stressful times of their lives. As a result, I resolve any problems that arise and we reach the finish line together, which is always very rewarding.

The most gratifying aspect of my position is sharing in my client’s excitement when they purchase a new home. Seeing parents and children light up when they walk through their front door for the first time is always a thrill. It is also very rewarding to present sellers with a contract because they are relived to sell their home and are free to purchase a new house in Lawrence or somewhere in the United States.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

2. As we transition closer to a seller’s market it is critical that buyers do their homework, have been educated and are prepared to make a decision when the right house comes on the market.

3. Most importantly, remember that everything happens for a reason so do not let a short-term disappointment derail you from the home hunting process.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices?

The economy is strengthening and I see a strong growth trend for 2015 and beyond.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent?

I have identified most of them throughout this article. In summary I believe that my real estate expertise, contract negotiation experience, passion for the field, effective listening skills, needs identification techniques, problem solving ability, and the delivery of effective solutions best describes my real estate credentials.
