The idea of a conference center in downtown Lawrence is a couple of steps closer to being debated by the Lawrence City Commission.

City officials have received a consultant’s report that found demand for a conference center exists in the city, and the board for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau on Monday CITY recommended that the city COMMISSION further study the idea.

“There is still a lot of math to be done on the idea, but it could be a real positive for the community,” said Mike Logan, chairman of Please see CENTER, page 4A l City expected to OK sewage

ABOUT 185 PEOPLE HELPED THE KANSAS HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY survey the state’s wildlife this past weekend near Russell.

Participants counted and in some cases collected for study snakes, frogs, turtles, toads, skinks, salamanders and other critters on an 11,000-acre property. People of all ages scrambled up and down hills, flipping rocks in search of the animals. The society sponsors field trips each spring, summer and fall.

Kansans watching closely today as U.S. Supreme Court hears gay marriage cases

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Attorneys involved in a federal lawsuit over same-sex marriage in Kansas are moving forward with their case, even as the U.S. Supreme Court is about to hear a group of other cases that could decide the issue once and for all.

The nation’s high court will hear oral arguments today in four consolidated cases involving gay marriage bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

But a separate Kansas case, which was filed in October, is still pending before U.S. District Judge Dan-

Some counties in Kansas, like Douglas, have been granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but others have not. And even though some couples have been allowed to wed, the state of Kansas still does not give legal recognition to those marriages. iel Crabtree, who recently scheduled a pre-trial conference for May 7.

“As far as Crabtree is concerned, it doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court is doing. He’s proceeding on the case,” said Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas, a gay rights advocacy group that helped organize the lawsuit.

That measure passed by 70 percent to 30 percent statewide, although it failed in Douglas County. Since then, however, the tide of public opinion in Kansas has shifted dramatically.

According to a recent poll by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University, Kansans are more evenly divided on the issue: 49 percent favor same-sex marriage, and 47 percent are opposed.

The same poll also found 60 percent of Kansans would support same-sex marriages on the condition

Larned — Kansas is among a number of states facing questions about whether its program that commits sex offenders to involuntary treatment rehabilitates them or, as critics claim, merely warehouses them indefinitely due to public safety concerns.

At a time when Kansas legislators are seeking to find a mix of cuts and tax increases to fill roughly $422 million in budget shortfalls, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback Brownback has recommended increasing funds for the sexual predator program from $13.9 million in 2014 to $20.4 million by 2017 to accommodate its growing population. Since its inception in 1994, the number of offenders confined has grown to 258 and only three have been released back into the public, according to the Department for

Services TBA. Burial, Humboldt, KS. Brother, Frank Janzen, Lawrence.

Aliene BieBer Aliene Bieber, 83, of Lawrence, passed away on April 23, 2015 after a lengthy illness.

Aliene was born Margaret Aliene Craig, on September 18, 1931, in Ashland, Kansas to Orville Craig and Julia Tackitt Craig, Aliene spent a wonderful childhood in Meade County, Kansas on a large cattle ranch with her parents and four siblings.

She attended a one-room school house in the country until she was old enough to attend high school in Meade, Kansas where she graduated in 1949. She was baptized in 1943 in the Nazarene Church in Meade, which was a significant moment in her life.

Aliene married Gene F. Miller of Fowler, Kansas in 1951 and moved to Lawrence where her four children were born. She worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital as a nurse’s aide and eventually completed training to be an operating room technician.

After moving for a few years to Texas and then New Mexico, Aliene returned to Lawrence in 1979 to marry David H. Bieber. She joined him in his membership to Trinity Lutheran Church which remained her home church for the rest of her life. She enjoyed many years of service at Trinity Lutheran baking for bake sales, working on the funeral meal committee, volunteering with the Lutheran Church Women, and helping in many other capacities with church

affairs.

She had many friends in the Lawrence area through church, the Kanwaka FCE and Literary Clubs, and through WELCA. While her children were young she was a 4-H leader for Kanwaka and a den mother for the Boy Scouts of America.

Aliene was very well known for her prize winning pies and her beautiful handmade aprons.

Aliene is survived by her husband, David; four siblings, Carl (Marilyn) Craig, June Reed, Grace Settlemire, and Bud (Myrna) Craig; 4 children, Glynda Jean (Bruce) Caldwell, Rex Alan Miller, Max (Karen) Michael Miller and Rebecca (Brad) Ann Seitter; 5 grandchildren, Tobyn (Jenell) McNew, Vincent (Shannon) McNew, Madelyn Seitter, Gregory Seitter and Bonnie Miller; and 5 g re a t - g ra n d c h i l d re n , Connor, Keaton, Lyseah, Madison, and Austin McNew; one aunt, Francis Craig Mock; and several nieces, nephews and close friends. She was loved and will be missed very much by her family and friends.

Funeral services will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Friday, May 1st at 11:00 am. The family suggests memorial contributions to either Trinity Lutheran Church or Visiting Nurses in lieu of flowers.

that churches would not be required to perform them.

In November, Crabtree issued a temporary injunction in the Kansas case, ordering court clerks in Douglas and Sedgwick counties to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt appealed Crabtree’s order, but in December, the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, a move that many interpreted as a signal that the court is likely to strike down state bans on same-sex marriages when it rules later this year on the other cases.

Since November, 162 same-sex couples have been issued licenses in those counties: 118 in Sedgwick County and 44 in Douglas County, according to district court clerks.

Some other counties in Kansas have been granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but others have not. But even though some couples have been allowed to wed, the state of Kansas still does not give legal recognition to those marriages.

That means those couples still cannot file jointly on their state income tax returns. And for state employees, Kansas still does not provide spousal benefits such as health insurance to same-sex couples.

Originally, the Kansas case only involved the state’s refusal to issue and record marriage licenses. But in February, the plaintiffs expanded the case to include a challenge to the state’s refusal to recognize samesex marriages, including those performed legally in other states.

Schmidt’s office is defending the state’s marriage laws but has said the issue can only be resolved with a clear decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.

That could come as early as this summer, when the high court is expected to rule on the four cases being argued today.

And that ruling could come before the Kansas case even goes to trial.

$45M sewer plant on tap ——

City set to approve bid

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

If Lawrence wants to add another 20,000 residents at some point in the future, city commissioners first must become comfortable with another number: $45 million.

Commissioners at their meeting tonight are expected to approve a $45.2 million bid by Garney Construction to build a sewage treatment plant south of the Wakarusa RivCITY er.

When COMMISSION completed in 2018, the project will give the city the capacity to serve an additional 20,000 people or significant numbers of new industrial customers with large wastewater treatment needs.

Survey: Kansans not as far right as legislators

By Peter Hancock Twitter: LJWpqhancock

Topeka — From Medicaid expansion and legalizing marijuana, to concealed-carry laws and school funding, a new survey says the prevailing political views in the Kansas Statehouse are far to the right of most Kansans.

By large majorities, the poll found, most of those surveyed said they support expanding Medicaid as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act, and they support legalizing marijuana — two issues that have gained no traction in the Kansas Legislature this year.

At the same time, an overwhelming majority said they oppose allowing people to carry concealed handguns without a permit or formal training, and more people said they oppose the new school “block grant” funding law than support it. Both measures have already passed the Legislature and were signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback.

“It is what it is,” said Chapman Rackaway, a political science professor at Fort Hays State University, who helped design the poll. “It shows the disconnect between the people and their elected officials.”

Brownback’s press secretary, Eileen Hawley, said she doesn’t accept Please see SURVEY, page 4A

Students collecting for quake relief

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Members of the Kansas University Nepalese Student Association are collecting money to help with Nepal earthquake relief.

Donations can be delivered or mailed to the KU Nepalese Student Association account at Commerce Bank, Kansas University Banking Center, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd., Room 444, Lawrence, KS 66045.

The club will give the money it raises to the American Red Cross, said member Krishna Ghimire, a graduate student in civil engineering.

“They are in desperate need for medical supplies and food,” Ghimire said. He added help also will be needed for search and recovery efforts.

Ghimire said he reached his parents and wife, who live in Kathmandu, about 12 hours after Saturday’s 7.8 magnitude quake there.

They are safe, he said, but like many in the country right now have been staying outdoors in tents while aftershocks continue to threaten buildings.

“They are scared of going inside,” he said.

The death toll had surpassed 4,000 by Monday.

There are more than 20 current students in KU’s

SCHOOL FUNDING

Superintendent: District cuts possible, not just tax bump

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Lawrence school Superintendent Rick Doll on Monday said the district may make its own budget cuts in addition to raising local property taxes in reaction to looming funding cuts from the state government.

Doll clarified remarks he made during a school board meeting two weeks ago in which, during a budget discussion, he turned to board members and said, “You can be assured that we’re not planning to ask you to cut $2 million more out of the budget, so we need to start thinking about the impact that’s going to have on the mill rate.”

At Monday’s board meeting, Doll said he wanted to make it clear the district is also considering cuts, not just additional property taxes. He said the district’s finance advisory committee was in the process of identifying and recommending “hundreds of thousands of dollars in cuts” to the district’s budget.

A new block grant system of funding, signed into law in March by Gov. Sam Brownback, has been estimated to result

in a $1.6 million hit to the Lawrence district. That figure is not final, though, with the Legislature still working on the state budget.

The funding loss would come out of Lawrence’s local option and capital outlay budgets. Kathy Johnson, the district’s director of finance, and Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, have said the district’s only resort to recovering any lost funding would be increasing property taxes.

Construction contracts Also Monday, the board approved construction contracts for several schools, as part of the $92.5 million bond issue that benefitted all the schools through various renovation and construction projects.

The board approved a guaranteed maximum price of $3.5 million and $1.96 million for construction work at Quail Run and Woodlawn elementary schools, respectively.

However, more than $930,000 of the Quail Run project will come out of the district’s capital outlay fund.

vices, which runs the program.

Supporters of the program argue that the funding increases are necessary to keep dangerous offenders off the street, but some lawmakers have expressed concern as its costs and population balloon. A state audit report is due today, looking at ways to address costs and comparing Kansas’ program to those in in 19 other states and the District of Columbia.

The report “won’t be a pretty thing to look at,” said state Rep. John Carmichael, a Wichita Democrat. He added he believes the Kansas program may be unconstitutionally prolonging offenders’ incarceration without offering proper treatment.

Although the constitutionality of Kansas’ program was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997 and isn’t currently being challenged, a pending judgment in a federal class-action lawsuit over Minnesota’s sex offender program could have ripple effects if it reaches the nation’s highest court, said Kim Lynch, senior litigation

A new report funded by the city and by Kansas University started to provide some figures for a convention center idea. Among the findings by the firm Convention Sports & Leisure are: l “Unmet market demand exists to support new convention/conference center development.”

The report estimates that Lawrence could support 30,000 to 37,500 square feet of new conference center space. More specifically, the space should include a 20,000- to 25,000-square-foot multipurpose room with 30-foot ceilings that could support exhibitions and other types of large events. It also should include 10,000 to 12,500 square feet of meeting room space. l A full-service hotel

STEVE EARLE AND THE DUKES THUR, MAY 7

— Steven Islam, a sex offender who has been at Larned for 12 years counsel for the aging and disability department. In neighboring Missouri, a U.S. District Court started a trial last week over allegations its sex offender program is a prison in disguise.

In Kansas, those who have served criminal penalties and are deemed by a court to be sexual predators are committed to Larned State Hospital — a sprawling complex of prison-like buildings on the plains about 100 miles west of Wichita. They must a complete a sevenphase treatment program to be released.

Tom Kinlen, Larned’s superintendent, estimates that an offender should be able to complete the treatment program in four to five years if all goes well, but acknowledged that 30 percent to 40 percent of patients have refused to participate.

“It’s going to be hard to do when you’re disengaged from the program and actively engaged in inappropriate behavior to say that you’re the one that deserves to be number four or five or

six” who gets released, he said, adding that many patients have severe mental problems and may never be safe for release.

But current patients and a former psychologist told The Associated Press that the requirements are nearly impossible to achieve.

Steven Islam, 43, has been at Larned for 12 years and was convicted of child molestation in 1994. Islam, who suffers from schizophrenia, said he committed his crimes while he was off his medication and high on crack cocaine, and believes he wouldn’t reoffend because of the counseling and addiction treatment he’s received.

He is currently at phase three and says he fully participates in treatment, but still expects to die at Larned.

“When I first got here, I worked the program, but when people see that no one is going anywhere, they just give up. They realize this is our situation for life,” he said.

Tapatha Strickler coun-

with at least 150 rooms should be attached to the conference center. In addition, a parking garage of at least 650 spaces would be required. l A location on Massachusetts Street is preferred by event planners over a facility that would be located on or near the KU campus. The report’s authors said event planners they interviewed were unanimous in support of a downtown location.

“The concentrated visitor amenity infrastructure on Massachusetts Street is the designation’s strongest appeal to non-local groups,” according to the report. l Another study is required to determine how much a conference center would cost to build and operate. The study, though, does fore-

cast that a 30,000- to 37,500-square-foot conference center probably would have to receive some level of public subsidy. If a project were to move ahead with only private financing, the project might have to be reduced to 23,000 to 27,000 square feet.

“What would the city really have to invest to make this project work?

That’s a key question,” said Megan Gilliland, the interim director for the group that oversees the CVB. “It will require some assistance because if it didn’t require it, I think the development community already would have built it.”

The report did not provide any information about how many events a conference center could

seled about 90 Larned patients from 2012 to 2014, and said she believes only a handful are too dangerous to be released.

Instead, most get stuck in a “vicious cycle” due to organizational problems and because patients can be punished to repeat stages, leading many to boycott treatment out of frustration.

She said she eventually resigned because she felt the program was unethical and the facility had staffing problems because few professionals “are willing to bet their life and their license on working there.”

During Strickler’s time at Larned — which has five psychologists and one psychiatrist for 230 patients — those in the program received one to three hours of professionally led group therapy per week and a 30-minute session with a psychologist once per quarter.

Lynch defended its treatment regimen as constitutionally adequate before a House panel in March, adding that patients also take part in educational courses and other activities that aid in their rehabilitation.

“Maybe not everyone will receive a cure. It’s not an issue of whether there is a cure for things.

It’s treatment and these are people receiving treatment,” she said.

the idea that the voting public disagrees with the political direction of the state.

“In November, Kansans re-elected Sam Brownback to a second term as governor based on his record of growing the economy, reforming welfare, stabilizing education funding and protecting the Constitution,” Hawley said.

The annual “Kansas Speaks” poll was conducted by FHSU’s Docking Institute of Public Affairs.

The survey of 519 adults was conducted March 23 through April 1 using random calls to landlines and cell phones. Of the people surveyed, 79 percent said they voted in the November 2014 elections. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

Among the findings: l Only 30 percent of those surveyed said they favor the new school funding law, which repealed the per-pupil funding formula that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it with block grants to school districts.

Forty-nine percent said they oppose that law, while 22 percent said they were not sure.

That bill, Senate Bill 7, narrowly passed the House, 64-57. The Senate approved it, 25-14, and Brownback signed it into law on March 25. l 75 percent of those surveyed oppose allowing gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public without a permit or certification of formal training. That bill, Senate Bill 45, sailed through both chambers, 85-39 in the House and 31-8 in the Senate, and was signed by Brownback on April 2. l More than two-thirds of respondents — 68 percent — said they favor allowing medical marijuana in Kansas, while 63 percent said they favor decriminalizing recreational use so that personal possession would be punishable by only a

fine instead of jail time.

Two bills were introduced in the Legislature this year to legalize medical marijuana, but neither House Bill 2011 nor Senate Bill 9 received a committee hearing.

House Bill 2049, which would reduce the penalties for marijuana possession, passed out of a committee by a unanimous vote but has not yet come up for a vote in the full House. l And 58 percent of those surveyed said they support expanding Medicaid, as allowed under the federal health care law, to cover more lowincome Kansans who cannot otherwise afford health insurance. Fortytwo percent oppose expansion. Two bills to expand Medicaid have been introduced this year, but neither has advanced out of committee, and Republican leaders in the House have been reluctant to allow a vote on either measure.

Rackaway said he thinks it’s clear that the Legislature does not reflect the views of most Kansans.

“As much as I try to keep my ear to the ground on what people are talking about in politics, I haven’t heard people say we need to change the school funding formula significantly, or strip away the requirements for people to get a permit to carry a firearm,” he said. “Those seem to be solutions in search of problems.”

But he said the fault for that disconnect does not lie entirely with elected officials.

“People are not taking advantage of the opportunity to be in contact with their elected officials, so they pay attention to the people around them rather than their constituents,” Rackaway said. “When legislators hear from their constituents more often, they know this isn’t something they can spin away just by saying polls are not perfect.

They hear it regularly.”

ABOUT A DOZEN PEOPLE SCOUR A HILL this past weekend near Russell, looking for snakes, toads and other reptiles and amphibians as part of the Kansas Herpetological Society’s survey of wildlife. About 185 people took part in the project, the aim of which was to count and, in some cases, collect the animals for study.

door,” said Dave Wagner, the city’s director of utilities. “We feel like it is a long-term solution.”

It also is one that fits into the city’s budget, although that required some shoehorning. The bid from Kansas City-based Garney actually came in at $47.15 million. That amount, however, would have required city officials to ask for a sewer rate increase over and above the increases city commissioners already have committed to.

Instead of seeking the additional rate increase, engineers cut about $2 million worth of items out of the project. Among the cuts were: $753,000 for a maintenance and vehicle storage building and $224,000 to eliminate some redundant processing equipment.

Wagner said the plant

was designed to have redundant pieces of key equipment to reduce the amount of down time during repairs. Wagner said the buildings will still be constructed to include space for the redundant equipment, but the city will seek to purchase that equipment later.

The city operates another sewage treatment plant in East Lawrence that is set up to serve the entire city.

The new plant will be built south of the Wakarusa River near where O’Connell Road dead-ends with the river. If the bid is approved tonight, construction work could begin in January.

Construction is expected to last until early 2018.

Commissioners have long been planning for the new plant. Original plans called for construction to begin several years ago, but the commission in 2007 put the project on hold because it was uncertain that population growth totals warranted the expansion.

But now city officials have said population growth will require the new plant, and the city could face additional regulatory requirements from federal officials if the new plant is not built. Currently the city’s East Lawrence treatment plant operates beyond its designed capacity during heavy rainstorms that flood the sewer system.

The new plant also will remove additional nutrients — mainly ammonia and phosphorus — that aren’t currently removed by the city’s existing plant.

The city already has spent a little more than $20 million on the project, including land acquisition, roads, piping, design work and other miscellaneous functions. The previous commission approved a multi-year plan that increases sewer rates about 6 percent a year through 2017 to help pay for the project.

Commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall.

Kansas A.G. seeks up to $450K Looking for a new to defend anti-abortion law place to bank?

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas’ attorney general is telling legislators that defending a first-of-its-kind anti-abortion law in court could cost the state up to $450,000, as Republican Gov. Sam Brownback commemorates the measure with events across the state.

The Republican governor announced plans Monday for four re-enactments of his signing of a bill banning a common second-trimester procedure that anti-abortion activists describe as dismembering a fetus.

Brownback’s events today were to be at a Catholic church education building in Lenexa and Catholic high schools in Pittsburg, Wichita and Hays.

Brownback signed the legislation April 7, and the new law takes effect in

The board also approved a guaranteed maximum price of $1.6 million for the first part of construction at Lawrence High School.

That amount includes $660,000 in capital outlay funds. The district eventually plans to spend a total of $3.3 million at LHS.

New administrator In other business Monday, the school district announced that Annette Kenoly, a Topeka el-

Governor to re-enact signing bill into law at four sites today July. The National Right to Life Committee proposed the measure as m o d e l legislation, and Schmidt Oklahoma enacted its own law days after Kansas.

Abortion providers in Kansas say they’re considering lawsuits. Attorney General Derek Schmidt told legislators last week that his office could need up to $50,000 by the end of June, another $100,000 to $200,000 during the fiscal year beginning July 1 and up to $200,000 more for the following fiscal year.

Schmidt’s office declined

to comment Monday on the request, but it was described in a summary of budget proposals from various state agencies prepared last week for lawmakers by their research staff.

His office already has paid outside attorneys $1.2 million to defend other anti-abortion laws enacted since Brownback took office in January 2011. The state hasn’t lost a lawsuit, and Kansans for Life, the most influential anti-abortion group at the Statehouse, is confident the new law would survive a challenge.

“We wouldn’t have to pay a penny if nobody sued,” said Mary Kay Culp, the group’s executive director. “Let the people of Kansas speak and leave it alone.”

ementary school principal, will join Liberty Memorial Central Middle School as an assistant principal next year.

Kenoly will replace Jeremy McDonnell, who Kenoly will move to the Shawnee Mission school district next year for an elementary principal position.

“The opportunity to work in a diverse middle school environment where I can share my talents and passion for education is what both attracted me to the position and what I am most

looking forward to,” Kenoly said in a statement.

Kenoly is in her third year as principal of Ross Elementary School in Topeka. Previously, she was the assistant principal of French Middle School, also in Topeka.

In the past she also served as a middle school literacy coach, a classroom teacher and elementary substitute teacher for 10 years.

She has a bachelor’s degree from Washburn University and a master’s from Baker University.

Wrong road In the last four years, the state has swept $1.3 billion in highway funds into the state general fund. That’s a trend that can’t continue without damaging the quality and safety of Kansas roads.

K

ansas Department of Transportation officials seem to be downplaying highway concerns voiced last week by a nonpartisan think tank, but KDOT’s own figures paint a troubling picture of the impact of “sweeping” highway funds into the general fund to cover other state expenses.

Since Gov. Sam Brownback took office in 2011, more than $1.3 billion has been transferred out of the highway fund into the general fund. About $550 million of that was used to pay for transportationrelated expenses, such as the Kansas Highway Patrol, but more than half has gone to cover other state obligations. In January, lawmakers approved taking $103 million from the fund to help fill a budget gap for the current fiscal year.

The “sweeping” of funds from KDOT likely isn’t over. Brownback has proposed taking another $139 million from the state highway fund for each of the next two fiscal years in order to balance the budget. Given the state’s current financial issues, it seems that total could go even higher.

Although KDOT officials have continued to say that the sweep of funds won’t hamper projects that are part of the state’s 10-year T-Works program, a report issued last week by the Kansas Center for Economic Growth raised concerns about delays not only in TWorks projects but in routine maintenance. “This shell game is unsustainable and not without costs,” said the report, pointing to the fact that delayed maintenance will cost the state more in the long run and that any money KDOT has to borrow to complete projects must be repaid with interest.

KDOT normally sets aside about $445 million a year for “preservation” projects to maintain roads in a manner that prevents costlier major repairs in the future, according to a spokesman. Because of the money that has been diverted from its budget, KDOT has allocated just $177 million for such work next year.

KDOT officials say it’s only a delay and the work will get done, but not delaying maintenance until it becomes more urgent and expensive is the point of preservation projects. And given recent trends, who’s to say money will be available for those projects in a year or two?

Robbing the state transportation department is a particularly questionable strategy given the Brownback administration’s emphasis on creating jobs and attracting new business to Kansas — a goal often cited to justify state income-tax cuts. Do officials think businesses wanting to locate or expand in Kansas won’t notice the state’s declining commitment to its transportation infrastructure? Do they not understand what a project like completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway — and the roads and bridges leading into the SLT — means to the economic development prospects for a community?

So far, the state has gotten away with using the so-called “Bank of KDOT” to cover non-transportation expenses, but, over the long haul, this is not a winning strategy for the state’s motorists or its economic vitality.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 28, 1915: “Campaigns against the dandelions are being conducted in years nearly every town at this time. ago This week has been recognized IN 1915 as one of the worst enemies to the bluegrass lawn and the people are going after it with the idea of exterminating it entirely. Contests have been conducted in a number of towns to see who of the boys could get the most dandelions. In Abilene recently the boys of the town dug up 15 tons of dandelions…. Many of the people are going after the dandelions, but some of the more indifferent are careless and if something is not done immediately the flowers will have gone to seed and the people who have been laboring so faithfully to get rid of the pest will be the ones who will suffer by others’ carelessness” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Pope will have unusual clout in Cuba When Pope Francis goes to Cuba in September, he will have a larger-than-usual influence over the Cuban government: He has been a champion of dialogue with the island’s regime and strong critic of the U.S. trade embargo since he authored a littleknown book on Cuba in 1998.

The big question is whether Francis will use his clout to press Cuba to respect basic universal freedoms, or whether he will just make a symbolic stop on the island to celebrate the recent Vatican-brokered U.S.-Cuba normalization talks.

Among the reasons why the Argentine-born pope could — if he decides to do so — have more clout with the Cuban regime than previous popes and most other world leaders who have visited the island: First, Francis was a key behind-the-scenes broker of the U.S.-Cuban normalization talks first announced by President Barack Obama on Dec. 17, after more than five decades of hostile relations.

While Washington and Havana had been holding secret normalization talks for many months, it was the Pope who helped break an impasse in the negotiations and move the process forward.

Francis received delegations from both countries in the Vatican in October. The negotiations led to a de facto prisoner swap between the two countries, and paved the way to discussions

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

If Francis doesn’t use his considerable leverage with the Cuban regime to speed up basic freedoms on the island, his visit will be a failure.” about reopening embassies in Washington and Havana.

Second, unlike his predecessors John Paul II and Benedict XVI, who visited the island respectively in 1998 and 2012, Francis has a long history of personal interest in Cuba. His book “Dialogues between John Paul II and Fidel Castro,” was published in Spanish in Argentina a few months after John Paul’s visit to Cuba in 1998.

I read most of the book this week, and — while it’s dense, and often difficult to read — it’s prophetic in that, much like Obama’s new policy toward Cuba, it called for a dialogue between Washington and Havana, and strongly criticized the U.S. trade embargo on the island, calling it — using the Cuban govern-

ment’s lingo — a “blockade.”

Also, Francis’ book stressed the Vatican’s criticism of what he called “capitalist neo-liberalism,” a code word for U.S.styled free-market policies. It is “a model that subordinates human beings and conditions the people’s development to pure market forces,” and that forces poor countries to “apply unsustainable economic programs dictated by the centers of power,” Francis wrote.

Third, the Argentine pope will speak to the island’s rulers in their own language, and — as a Jesuit — he may find some childhood memories in common with Castro, who studied in a Jesuit school.

In addition, Pope Francis will benefit from strong support from the Cuban population: a poll conducted on the island by the U.S. firm Bendixen & Amandi found that 80 percent of Cubans have a positive opinion of Francis, the same as Obama’s. Comparatively, only 47 percent of Cubans have a positive opinion of Raúl Castro.

Most likely, Pope Francis will use his considerable political capital in Cuba primarily to seek greater freedoms for Roman Catholic priests there. Right now, Cuban laws allow Roman Catholics to practice their religion within their churches, but not to spread their message through regular radio or television broadcasts.

“There is freedom of cult, but not freedom of religion, because priests cannot evan-

gelize outside the walls of their churches,” says Froilán Dominguez, a former priest and seminary president in Cuba. “Pope Francis will have considerable leverage to ask for religious freedoms, such that to evangelize without government censorship.”

My opinion: If Francis doesn’t use his considerable leverage with the Cuban regime to speed up basic freedoms on the island, his visit will be a failure.

Just as John Paul obtained greater freedom for priests to work within their churches in Cuba, Francis should obtain absolute freedoms for them to work outside them. At the very least, if he doesn’t get the release of political prisoners or other basic human rights reforms, he should obtain regular Church broadcasts on Cuba’s state censored radio and television, or permission to create an independent radio or television network.

That might seem a small feat by world democratic standards, but it would allow most Cubans to hear a different message from the “Socialism or Death” nonsense they have been bombarded with for the past five decades. As an Argentine who himself lived through a dictatorship in the 1970s, Francis should be more sensitive than most to the need of opening up a space for independent media in Latin America’s last military dictatorship.

U.S. in dire need of election reform

By Dan K. Thomasson Tribune News Service

Washington — Let’s take a poll. All those who believe there is a dire need for election reform in this country please hold up your hands. I see, nearly 100 percent. Now do the same if you do not believe that such an overhaul, including significant limits on time and money will ever take place — at least in your lifetime. Hmm. A huge majority for “all those of little faith.”

Finally, how many of you already are sick of the campaign for an election that is 17 months away, despite an appearance that it is imminent, maybe even the day after tomorrow. Right. Nausea seems of epidemic proportions.

Even the thought of all those months of allegations of wrong doing and expressed righteous indignation over one triviality after another; of constant sniping among the competitors to the point an actual duel might be in the public interest; of promises no one in his right mind would keep even if he could; of the boogey man specters created by candidates whose mission in life always seems to be to scare the “world is coming to an end” daylights out of all of us.

If you elect this person, he will: A) do away with Social Security, B) let the poor starve, C) abolish IRS, D) start World War III, E) take away all our guns, F) change the balance of the Supreme Court to favor all (a. right or b. left) policies, or G) all of the above … and plenty more.

The billions of dollars (that’s right, I said “billions”) expected to be spent before it’s over in November of next year is not only disturbing, it leaves all of us guessing who actually owns the country. Might it not be better to form a coalition of special interests who can just name the winner without going to all the trouble of actually balloting?

Are the chief proprietors of the United States the Koch brothers, the Wichita wonders, or some guys from Las Vegas or Hollywood with great bankrolls? Is it the National Rifle Association, the dozen anti- this or that organizations on both ends of the political spectrum? Seriously, who owns this nation? It’s increasingly difficult to believe it’s the people these days.

Also, I personally have developed a

“

So don’t hold your breath until this country shows even a semblance of common sense and adopts the British system, which puts strict limits on the amount that can be spent and the length of campaigning.”

serious allergy about lawmakers who in the midst of their first term decide they are capable of telling the rest of us what is good for us. Two or three years in the Senate does not an expert make.

Electing Freshman Senator So and So has not served us particularly well. The maturity, judgment and unequalled understanding of statecraft both foreign and domestic that it takes to run the world’s largest enterprise is doubtfully gained in only 43 years of life. The Oval Office is hardly the place for on the job training in this volatile world.

If the new crop of youngsters in the Republican ranks don’t excite you, I’m hardly surprised given the announced or about to be so amalgam of frat boys, libertarians, hybrids of one philosophy or another, screw-looses, and scions of political dynasties, one of whose mother has given him permission to run, albeit reluctantly.

Well then, you can place your hopes for a few more years of survival on Hillary Clinton, whose ethical baggage is beginning to rival that stored in the overheads of a transcontinental flight.

She at least has had more experience than nearly any politician on the presidential horizon. And her amassed wealth over decades of public service gives her at least an aura of success when it comes to raising money on a government salary even if some critics are questioning the propriety of her good fortune.

Asked on Massachusetts Street

See story, 3A

What’s the crowd?

Speaking of downtown Lawrence, watch for a long line of music lovers piling up on the east side of Massachusetts Street just north of Seventh Street as the day progresses. They’re hoping for a good spot to see indie rock icons Neutral Milk Hotel at Liberty Hall in a show that’s been sold out for months. Jeff Mangum and his bandmates are best known for the 1998 album-toend-all-albums “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea,” largely ignored in its time, which since has come to be regarded by music critics as one of the greatest projects produced by an American band that decade.

The winners of a poster contest celebrating Lawrence’s neighborhoods will be honored at the Lawrence City Commission meeting today.

The contest celebrates Fair Housing Month, which advocates for the elimination of housing discrimination. The contest, under the theme “Lawrence: Celebrating Diverse Neighborhoods,” was open to all K-12 students. Eighty entries were received.

The City Commission will begin its regular meeting at 5:45 p.m. today at 6 E. Sixth St. The winners are: High School First place: Nia Rutledge, grade 11, Lawrence High School Second place: Nina Friesen, grade 12, Lawrence High School Third place: Macy Sutter, grade 11, Lawrence High School

Baltimore burning

Mayor enacts curfew; Guard troops will be out ‘in massive force’ John Bacon, Donna Leinwand Leger and William M. Welch

WHAT’S HAPPENING

ONLINE

USA TODAY

Rioters in Baltimore hurled rocks at police, destroyed patrol cars and looted and burned stores as demonstrations over the death of a black man in police custody turned violent Monday.

Police said 15 officers were injured and two remained hospitalized Monday evening. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency in the city and activated the National Guard to assist city and state police, calling it a “last resort” to restore order.

Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake called the rioters “thugs” and said the city was imposing a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew starting Tuesday. She said she asked Hogan to send in the Guard.

“We are deploying every resource possible to gain control A big of the situation and ensure turnout peace moving for Gray forward,” she funeral said.

The Orioles Thousands postponed a remember man Monday night who died while home game in police with the Chi- custody, 3B cago White Sox as a precaution, the University of Maryland Baltimore shut down its campus. The city’s schools were canceled for today.

Gangs of looters, some armed with crowbars, roved an increasingly lawless city hours after funeral services for Freddie Gray, who died April 19 while in police custody.

In downtown near the Lexington Market, dozens of police appeared on the scene after gangs ravaged the market and other local stores.

On Lexington Street, looters had smashed the windows of the Your City, My City shoe store, grabbing boxes of sneakers and athletic gear and leaving a trail of broken mannequins sprawled on the sidewalk.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch dispatched the Justice Department’s civil rights chief and director of the agency’s community policing office to Baltimore.

She condemned the “senseless acts of violence.”

Earlier, looters set a CVS pharmacy on fire. Police said via Twitter that rioters cut a hose firefighters were using to battle the blaze.

Police said on Twitter that looters were “continuing to break into businesses and set cars on fire” in the area, and that they were responding to reports of looting inside Mondawmin Mall.

Linda Singh of the Maryland National Guard said armored vehicles were bringing troops in.

“We are going to be out in massive force,” she said.

Copters cart out Everest climbers Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Rescue helicopters aided by mercifully clear weather began pulling trapped climbers from treacherous perches on Mount Everest on Monday, two days after a powerful earthquake trapped them at high altitudes.

Hundreds were stuck on the world’s highest mountain when avalanches triggered by Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 quake swept across climbing routes and tumbled into Everest Base Camp, where 18 were killed, including three Americans. The total death toll from the quake has climbed past 4,000.

“We heard an awful noise,” Expedition Leader Garrett Madison, whose group was on the mountain between Camp One and Camp Two, told NBC’s Today Show. “We thought we’re going to get taken out.”

ROBERTO SCHMIDT, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

An injured person is loaded onto a rescue helicopter at Everest Base Camp on Sunday, a day after an avalanche.

Madison’s group was transported Monday by helicopter to what was left of the base camp.

Air crews tried to rescue as many as 160 climbers, according to Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International, which reported that all of its climbers and guides had been safely removed to Base Camp.

Those awaiting rescue were running out of fuel and food.

The avalanche devastated what was an already treacherous route back to Base Camp through an area known as the Khumba Icefall, preventing climbers from descending, ac-

cording to Madison.

Small, high-performance Air Bus helicopters were used to ferry climbers and guides from Camp One to Base Camp, then return for more to rescue, according to Eric Simonson of International Mountain Guides, which has people on Everest.

Climbers at the loftier Camp Two were descending to Camp One for evacuation, he said.

German climber Jost Kobusch shot a video at Base Camp when the avalanche struck. It showed people struggling to flee a mountain of ice and snow rushing down.

ESPN vs. Verizon: Sports giant claims contract breach ‘Custom TV’ seen as cherry-picking Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

ESPN has sued Verizon over the telecom provider’s new “Custom TV” programming bundle.

The sports programming giant accuses Verizon of “breach of contract” and asks a New York state judge to prevent the pay-TV provider from offering the new plan.

Verizon “Custom TV” plan,

which it began offering last week, is a stripped-down, $55-a-month pay-TV offering of more than 35 channels, including local TV stations and many popular cable channels, including CNN, HGTV, AMC and Food Network. Subscribers can choose two of seven genre-specific channel packs — kids, pop culture, lifestyle, entertainment, news and information, sports and sports plus. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU are included in the sports package; ESPNews is in the sports-plus pack.

ESPN, which is owned by Disney, quickly made its complaints public about Verizon’s offering; Fox and NBCUniversal also criti-

ESPN SportsCenter co-anchors Lindsay Czarniak and Kevin Negandhi.

JOE FARAONI, ESPN

cized Verizon’s move.

“The issue here is that Verizon made unilateral decisions on how to offer ABC Family, Disney Channels, ESPN and ESPN2 that are in violation of our existing

agreements,” ESPN said in a statement to USA TODAY last week.

ESPN receives $6.61 per subscriber per month from pay-TV providers, according to SNL Ka-

gan, by far the most among cable channels and nearly $5 more than the $1.65 charged by the next most in-demand channel, TNT. In its court filing Monday, ESPN asked the judge to enforce the current contract and to prevent Verizon from “unfairly depriving (ESPN) of the benefit of its bargain” and to assess damages of $500,000 or more.

Verizon offered this statement about the suit: “Consumers have spoken loud and clear that they want choice, and the industry should be focused on giving consumers what they want. We are well within our rights.”

VOICES

For a better life, refugees risk it all Farah Hassan talks on the telephone to his sister. This was the first time he was able to tell his family, which scraped together the money for his journey, that he was safe in Italy.

Eric J. Lyman

Special for USA TODAY

LAMPEDUSA , ITALY

Ask the refugees who arrive in Europe amid the growing migrant crisis about their journey, and most look at you seriously for a few moments before answering, as if they’re trying to size you up to figure out if they should tell the whole truth.

The whole truth is terrifying.

Families and communities save up for months or years to raise $1,000 to $5,000 per person so that one or two of their number can have a chance at a life in a better place. They travel under difficult conditions to three, four or five countries between leaving home and landing in Europe, most often on this small southern Italian island.

They have little to eat, when they can sleep it’s often under uncomfortable conditions, and the agents paid to smuggle them to Europe lie to them about the

ERIC J. LYMAN, USA TODAY

difficulty of the journey.

“Sometimes you hear things (about the difficulty of the journey) from people who made it,” 19-year-old Somali Raage Hassan, on Lampedusa, tells me.

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

He adds: “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.”

The plight of the desperate

refugees was underscored earlier this month when as many as 900 died in a shipwreck off the Libyan coast on April 19.

Driven by deteriorating political and economic conditions at home and relatively lax border controls in Europe, the number of migrant refugees is set to nearly triple again, to as many as 500,000 this year.

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the death toll is outpacing even the dramatic rise in numbers. Back in 2013, about

2% of those starting out died en route. Now it’s at least 5% of a larger stream of refugees — and rising. The numbers are one thing. But the human side of what these refugees go through takes longer to understand. It came to light for me with a single incident.

While on Lampedusa, I came across a group of around half a dozen youngsters, ages 16 to 22, who had just arrived on the island, two months after setting off from their homes in Somalia.

One of them, 18-year-old Farah Hassan (no relation to Raage Hassan), was the most helpful. He spoke decent English and helped me understand the harrowing accounts others in his group shared. But he didn’t seem eager to tell me his story.

At the end of our conversation, as we were saying our goodbyes, he pulled me aside.

“Could you give me some euros, so I can make a phone call?” he asked. He wanted to call home, and his eyes lit up when I told him he could use my phone. He didn’t know how to use it: I had to dial the number for him, and he wasn’t sure how to hold the

device. After a few rings, someone picked up, and he started shouting into the phone. I could hear muffled confusion on the other end, and soon he started crying a little.

His sister answered; his mother, whom he wanted to talk to, was away. “Does she miss you?”

I asked him. “Is she glad you’re here?”

“She doesn’t know,” he told me. “My sister will tell her.”

He had been on Lampedusa for two days and away from home for two months, at a time when news reports featured stories of sinking ships and drowning migrants. Yet this was the first time he was able to tell his family — which scraped together the money for his journey, which costs as much as a decade’s wages for a Somali worker — that he had made it, that he was OK. Was his sister happy to hear from him? He replied, “She asked when I can start sending money to help pay for my little brother to come.”

GAY MARRIAGE

Case reunites hometown opponents Two women from Michigan come to D.C. as Supreme Court hears arguments today Paul Singer USA TODAY

WASHINGTON At opposite ends of the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court, and opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, were two Michigan women spurred to activism by the same court case that carried them to Washington for Tuesday’s debate on gay marriage.

At one end of the sidewalk Monday afternoon was Christine Weick, 50, of Grand Rapids who stood on the court steps with a red sign warning, “God draws a line on gay marriage.”

A few hundred feet away was Abbye Klamann, 25, a University of Michigan law student who has been sitting in a lawn chair and sleeping on an air mattress since Friday, waiting for one of the precious few public seats inside the court for today’s oral argument.

The case is actually a collection of six separate ones from around the country, one of them DeBoer v. Snyder from Michigan, which

involves a lesbian couple who wants the state to recognize them as legal parents of their four adopted children. That case inspired both Klamann and Weick to activism, pitting them against each other first in Detroit and now on the sidewalk of the Supreme Court.

Klamann was a first-year law student when she and friend Wyatt Fore volunteered to help the attorneys on the DeBoer case.

“We helped gather exhibits and do research,” she said.

“The trial was very much about the social science of same-sex parenting,” Fore said, and Klamann added that their role was to “read all the crazy, basically junk science studies and point out all of the flaws.”

At one point, the two of them had a spreadsheet of hundreds of different studies on the topic and had studied Michigan marriage and divorce cases dating back to the 19th century.

That research brought them to the Supreme Court. “This is the first case I’ve ever worked on,”

IN BRIEF WHITE HOUSE EVASIVE ON OCTOBER CYBER ATTACK

White House officials are not commenting on — but also not disputing — a New York Times report that Russian hackers swept up some of President Obama’s email correspondence during that attack.

They are saying that the administration has acted to protect all of its computer networks.

“We have talked for a number of months now, dating back to last fall, about some suspicious activity that was detected on the White House computer network,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday.

He added, “The White House took important steps to limit that activity, and it did not result in the compromise of any data on the classified network.”

Asked specifically about Obama’s emails and allegations of Russian involvement, Earnest said he wouldn’t discuss specifics of the fall incident.

“You know, there’s a lot of reporting out there that’s being done on this,” he said, “but I don’t have anything to add to it from here today.”

NATION/WORLD WASHINGTON

At last, Lynch sworn in as new AG First black woman to hold office

Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Describing her career as a federal prosecutor as the “honor of my life,” Loretta Lynch was sworn in Monday as the 83rd attorney general of the United States and the first African-American woman to hold the office.

Vice President Biden administered the oath of office to Lynch, as her father, brother and husband looked on, at the Justice Department.

“It’s been quite a process,” Lynch said, referring to a longdelayed Senate confirmation, which had prompted a wave of criticism from Democrats and some Republicans.

The confirmation had been held up because of a months-long

impasse in the Senate over legislation aimed at curbing human trafficking.

Lynch succeeds Eric Holder, whose six-year tenure at the department was marked in part by a contentious relationship with Congress.

Biden lauded Holder, saying the outgoing attorney general “stood his ground and never yielded.” He said Lynch was “cut from the exact same cloth.”

Lynch becomes the nation’s chief law enforcement officer as tensions between police and minority communities across the nation simmer. As Lynch was taking the oath, mourners gathered at a Baptist church in Baltimore for the funeral of Freddie Gray whose death earlier this month while in police custody touched off protests, some violent.

Gray’s funeral draws thousands Threat to police adds to tension gripping the city

Greg Toppo and John Bacon USA TODAY

Thousands of mourners and supporters descended Monday on New Shiloh Baptist Church for the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young black man whose death while in police custody sparked daily and sometimes chaotic protests.

While the funeral was taking place, the Baltimore Police Department announced a “credible threat,” saying a group of gangs had entered into a “partnership to ‘take out’ law enforcement officers.”

The threat added to the tension that has gripped the city since Gray died April 19 after being critically injured a week earlier. He had suffered a severe spinal cord injury during or immediately after his arrest; it was not clear what caused the injury.

The funeral drew a packed house in the 2,300-seat church.

BALTIMORE

Speakers included Jesse Jackson, who said Gray was a victim of inequality. He said Gray’s poor, west side neighborhood needed investment, jobs and better housing.

“Why wasn’t Fred’s side of town developed?” Jackson asked.

“Why can’t the west side get what downtown gets?”

He cited 110 deaths at the hands of police since 2010. “Fred wasn’t No. 1, he was number oneone-one,” Jackson said.

“We are here because we feel threatened,” Jackson said. “All of our sons are at risk.”

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said justice was needed not just for Gray, but for everyone.

“I’ve often said that our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see,” Cummings said. “But now our children are sending us to a future they will never see. There’s something wrong with that picture!”

William Murphy, lawyer for the Gray family, told the throng

“While the world watches, we have to step up to the plate as giants.

Not as political midgets.”

William Murphy, lawyer for the Gray family

that the “blue wall” of police solidarity had to be toppled.

“While the world watches, we have to step up to the plate as giants. Not as political midgets,” he said.

Murphy called for more black police officers, body cameras for officers and a special prosecutor “until the problem is solved.”

Murphy told USA TODAY the family wants “justice for their son. And they want this to be a lesson that we learn in this country about how to be just and more effectively just.”

After the funeral, Gray’s long funeral procession rolled by Vanessa Singleton, who shouted, “No justice, no peace!”

Singleton said her son was killed by police in 2010 during what officers said was a break-in.

“He was 26, the same age as Freddie Gray,” Singleton said.

“Nothing ever happened. I didn’t even get a vigil, something to say my son was killed.”

Japan PM’s visit revives WWII tensions In the past, Abe has glossed over wartime atrocities Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

Seventy years after the U.S. defeated his country, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make a historic appearance before Congress that’s reviving tensions over Japan’s role in World War II. More than 100 world leaders have been invited to speak before a joint session of Congress since the end of World War II, but none

from Japan, until Wednesday’s scheduled address.

Abe’s views on the war have caused problems on both sides of the Pacific. Since taking office, he

has made statements that seem to gloss over Japan’s wartime atrocities and cast doubt on his commitment to official apologies issued by previous prime ministers for war crimes.

Abe’s stance has hurt relations with China, which suffered under Japanese occupation, and South Korea. Leaders in both countries have refused one-on-one summit meetings with Abe (pronounced AH-bee).

Earlier this month, 25 House members sent a letter to Japan’s ambassador urging Abe to “formally reaffirm and validate” past apologies during his congressional address. Earlier, an organization of American World War II

POWs urged Congress not to invite Abe without assurances that he would acknowledge Japanese wrongdoing.

“Abe has been inconsistent in the way he talks about this history — sometimes acknowledging Japanese violence, and other times denying it and saying that discussing that past is unpatriotic,” said Jennifer Lind, an associate professor of government at Dartmouth College.

Abe is also sparking debate over a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact nearing completion. Both Abe and Obama support it as a way to boost exports and create jobs, but both are facing opposition at home.

CENTENNIAL , COLO. Aurora theater shooter James Holmes suffers from schizophrenia and is so delusional he believed killing people would improve his value as a person, defense attorneys said Monday in laying out their efforts to save his life.

Prosecutors concede that Holmes is mentally ill but say his extensive planning and ability to conceal his intentions indicate he knew what he was doing was wrong as he bought an arsenal of guns, strapped on body armor, and stalked a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., killing 12 and injuring 70.

The trial is expected to last four months. Holmes, a former neuroscience graduate student at the University of Colorado, faces the death penalty if convicted on any of the 24 murder charges brought against him following the July 20, 2012, attack at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.

The courtroom was packed with media and victims’ families.

Stunned silence fell over them as prosecutors played one of the first 911 calls from that night, gunshots still ringing out in the theater.

Jurors also several times heard from Holmes himself as both sides played videotaped interviews conducted with mentalhealth experts.

“I only count fatalities,” a sullen-looking Holmes said in one interview when asked about his

Holmes faces execution if jurors convict him on even one of the murder charges he faces. belief that killing people increased his self-worth. Asked about the injured, he responded, “They’re collateral damage, I guess.”

In court, Holmes sat unmoved as District Attorney George Brauchler used Holmes’ own notebook, emails, texts and Internet chats to detail an increasing record of failure, from lagging schoolwork to relationships with women.

Brauchler detailed Holmes’ months-long preparations, from buying guns and armor to making napalm from gasoline and plastic foam cups to booby-trap his apartment.

Defense attorney Dan King painted a picture of a young man who showed signs of mental illness as a child and grew worse as he reached his 20s. Both he and Brauchler referred to a notebook Holmes mailed to a university doctor hours before his rampage.

King said Holmes is the killer.

At the party, people asked to snap a photo of the tattoo on his left forearm.

Each time he pulled up his sleeve, David Wolnerman’s unease faded further, as had the blurry blue numbers — 160344.

For a long time, he didn’t show the numbers that the Nazis put on his arm in 1940 at Auschwitz or tell what happened afterward. But he is 88, and in central Iowa, he and his wife, Jennie, are the last known survivors of the Nazi concentration camps left.

He wants people to see it now, including the 12-year-old girl from West Des Moines who wrote about his experiences in A Lucky Lie, a book written for students that was unveiled April 16. The hidden meaning behind that number, he told young author Sydney Pearl, came to him only later in life.

Add the individual numbers together and they equal 18.

Wolnerman had lied when he stood in line in 1940. Josef Mengele, the Nazi nicknamed “The Angel of Death,” stood before him with a stick, pointing it to a line to the left or right as each person approached him.

“I didn’t have brains to say this,” said Wolnerman on a recent afternoon in his condominium in Des Moines. “I believe God told me. If not, I wouldn’t be here.”

Company employs 60,000 workers in the United States

WICHITA Koch Industries, one of the nation’s largest private companies, has removed questions about prior criminal convictions from its job applications, becoming the latest corporation to join a burgeoning movement trying to make it easier for ex-offenders to find work.

Koch Industries, which employs 60,000 workers in the United States, dropped the questions

last month, company officials said. More than half its U.S. jobs are in manufacturing.

The company’s CEO, Charles Koch, a billionaire known for his support of Republican candidates and libertarian causes, has made overhauling the criminal-justice system a priority. Mark Holden, Koch’s general counsel and senior vice president, said it made common sense for the company to take this step.

“Do we want to be judged for the rest of our life for something that happened on our worst day?”

The results were the first since the close of the $11 billion merger in December that shifted corporate control of Burger King to Ontario, Canada, and created the world’s third-largest fastfood chain. Nonetheless, shares closed down 2.36% to $40.59.

“The fact that more and more of our nation’s major employers — including a company like Koch Industries that is synonymous with conservative politics — are choosing to embrace fair-hiring policies shows that this is an idea with broad appeal whose time has come,” said Christine Owens, executive director of the National Employment Law Project.

The project estimates that 70 million American adults have an arrest record or conviction that can show up in a routine employment background check.

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Koch Industries is the second-largest private company in America.

To date, 16 states have adopted “fair chance” hiring policies, said Michelle Rodriguez, a senior staff attorney with the law project. In six states, the measures also apply to private employers.

Other companies have taken similar steps. Minnesota-based retail giant Target announced in late 2013, for instance, that it

would stop asking prospective store employees nationwide about their criminal histories in initial job applications.

Koch’s Holden said the company’s managers always have been directed to comply with federal anti-discrimination laws that prohibit automatically banning the hiring of anyone with a criminal record. In any event, he said the company performs background checks later in the hiring process that would turn up any information about a prospective employee’s criminal history.

Company spokeswoman Melissa Cohlmia said Koch has hired people with criminal records because they were otherwise qualified, but did not have a tally. Koch Industries hired more than 9,100 people globally last year, she said.

Big demand for iPhone, especially in China, propels earnings Jefferson Graham USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Apple extended its financial winning ways Monday with a record second quarter.

Strong demand for Apple’s iPhones, particularly in China, powered earnings and sales past already lofty forecasts for the first three months of the year.

Another boon to investors: Apple boosted its capital return program. Shares hit a record in after-hours trading.

Just days after shipping the Apple Watch, the first new product since 2010’s iPad, the company said net income rose 33% to $13.6 billion, or $2.33 per share, in the three months ending in March.

Apple’s revenue rose 27%, to $58 billion. Wall Street analysts expected Apple to earn $2.15 a share on sales of $55.9 billion.

The so-called “whisper number” for the company’s earnings, which regularly best expectations by a wide margin, was more than $2.27 in the run-up to results.

Plus, Apple hiked its stock buyback plan to $140 billion from $90 billion and increased its quarterly dividend 11%.

Shares of AAPL rose 1% after hours to $134.91, passing an intraday record. The stock is up 62% over the last year.

RECORD SECOND-QUARTER EARNINGS FOR APPLE Apple surpassed Wall Street expectations with its fiscal second-quarter earnings announced Monday. Total revenue of $58 billion was a 27% increase over the second quarter of 2014 but fell 22% from the company's record-setting first-quarter revenue of $74.6 billion.

Apple said it sold 61.1 million iPhones in the quarter, compared to 43.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet had projected sales of 55 million.

The iPad continues to fade. Apple said it sold 12.6 million in the quarter, below expectations of 15 million, and down 23% from the year-ago quarter.

In a conference call with analysts, Apple CEO Tim Cook said iPad sales had been hurt by the bigger screen iPhone and more

affordable Macintosh computers.

“It is what it is, and at some point it will stabilize: I’m confident it will.”

Overall, China was a bright spot. Sales in Greater China surged 71% compared to 21% for the Americas.

The results follow a blow-out December quarter.

Apple reported sales of $74.6 billion, and earnings of $3.06 a share in that quarter. That’s when it released the best-selling iPhone, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Total iPhone shipments were 74.5 million units.

Gartner analyst Van Baker says he expects Apple to continue its winning ways for the remainder of the year, despite new competition for the first time in quite a while from Samsung. “The new Galaxy phones have gotten great reviews,” Baker says.

“Could Apple see a challenge from a more aggressive Samsung? That’s certainly possible. I think they’ll sell as many iPhones as they can build, and the same goes for the Watch. They’ll sell every one.”

The question for the Watch comes not this year, but 2016.

Will consumers still be interested 12 months from now?

“Is the Watch a 20 million-unit market or a 200 million-market?”

Baker says. “No one knows yet.”

Apple sold 4.5 million Macintosh computers in the quarter, up from 4.1 million in the year ago quarter.

Tyson’s flock to kick its drug habit Human antibiotics on way out by 2017 Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY

Tyson Foods, the nation’s biggest chicken processor, is certain to rock the poultry world — if not the food world — when it announces today that it plans to eliminate use of human antibiotics with its U.S. broiler chicken flocks by fall of 2017.

The move comes less than two months after McDonald’s, one of Tyson’s big customers, said that within two years it would stop using chicken treated with antibiotics commonly used for humans.

“We believe this is the most responsible approach to balancing a global health concern about antibiotic resistance and our commit-

ment to animal well-being,” said Donnie Smith, CEO of Tyson Foods, in a phone interview.

Tyson is the $60 billion poultry world’s behemoth, with chicken sales last year of more than $11 billion. Roughly 1 in every 5 chickens sold in America are from Tyson.

Nutrition experts say that Tyson’s action — developed in stages over the last four years — is huge.

In January, Tyson announced the elimination of human antibiotics in feed, and last fall it announced the elimination of human antibiotics use in its hatcheries. Now, it’s taking the biggest step — one almost certain to nudge the rest of the industry to follow.

“Big Meat has been adamant about not budging on antibiotics — and Tyson’s is as Big Meat as they get, “ says Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat and professor of nutrition at New York

TYSON FOODS

Roughly 1 in every 5 chickens sold in America are from Tyson.

University.

The action by Tyson “sends a message to other producers that the tides are turning,” says Nicole McCann, director of food campaigns for Green America, an advocacy group.

The use of antibiotics in the food supply is of increasing concern to consumers — particularly Millennials. Some 86% of consumers say meat raised without antibiotics should be available in

their local supermarket, according to a nationwide poll conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.

“Years from now, we’ll look back in horror at how we once recklessly squandered medically important antibiotics on farm animals,” says David Plunkett, senior staff attorney for the food safety program at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group, in an email.

Beyond chickens, Tyson says it also is “in the process” of asking its cattle, pork and turkey supply chain — which, unlike chicken, it does not own — to develop ways to eliminate human-used antibiotics, says Smith. A research group will convene this summer to discuss the matter, he says.

Smith declines to put a timeline on it, however. “We’re just not as far down the road in cattle, hogs and turkeys,” he says.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Stocks aren’t selling at bargainbasement prices like they were at the market bottom six years ago.

Many Wall Street pros say the market is fully valued. But that doesn’t mean stocks still aren’t the best game in town, especially with longer-term government bonds, such as the 10-year Treasury note, yielding less than 2%.

That means the TINA trade, an acronym for “There Is No Alternative” to stocks, is still giving.

The yield on the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is 1.96%, which is fatter than Monday’s 1.92% yield on the 10-year U.S. government note, says Bespoke Investment Group. Nearly half (234) of the stocks in the S&P 500 are sporting bigger dividend yields

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

than the 10-year Treasury note, Bespoke adds.

But that doesn’t mean stocks — or bonds — are particularly attractive right now, Bespoke says: “In the next several months to few years there are likely to be times where an investment in stocks today will underperform the same size investment in longterm treasuries and vice versa.”

But the chances of booking bigger profits with stocks grow as one’s investment horizon expands, Bespoke adds. Since 1910, the Dow Jones industrials have averaged annual gains of 5% with positive returns 83% of the time.

And while the Dow only produced annual gains of 3.7% in the 10 years after hitting a new record high, it “sure beats the lack of capital appreciation you’ll get from holding a long-term Treasury note to maturity,” the Bespoke report concluded.

Some overlook program’s other advantages

Q: Can I ‘get out of’ Social Security?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The question you should be asking is why would you want out of Social Security? Although it’s possible — in rare cases — to avoid contributing to Social Security, you might be sorry later. It could be impossible to get back in if you change your mind later.

Some investors think they can get better returns with their retirement savings than the Social Security system can. Others question the long-term viability of the program.

What investors often forget is that being part of the Social Security system brings more advantages in addition to just the retirement benefits, says Joe Elsasser, a financial planner in Omaha. Investors often overlook the additional insurance and disability benefits to protect families if there’s an untimely death or disability of a breadwinner.

Some state workers — including teachers — can opt out of Social Security in certain cases.

The biggest nationwide way out of Social Security is reserved for members of the clergy, Elsasser says. Members of the clergy must file for the Social Security exception by the date their tax return is due in the second year they’ve earned at least $400 from ministerial income. After that, it’s too late to get out. But be careful. Once approved, the minister exception cannot be undone.

Chipotle: Genetically modified food no longer on menu USA TODAY

In an industry breakthrough, Chipotle has removed one of the things that consumers — particularly Millennials — want least in their food: GMOs.

move on non-GMO ingredients.”

GMO food has been altered to include one or more genes that wouldn’t typically be found in its genome. Many crops, including most corn and soybeans, are genetically modified to better fight off certain diseases or improve their resistance to herbicides.

The move by Chipotle comes as major restaurant chains and food makers are falling over themselves to remove ingredients that consumers — particularly younger consumers — don’t want.

Last week, PepsiCo announced it was removing aspartame from Diet Pepsi. Earlier this year, Mc-

Donald’s announced that over the next two years it will stop using chicken treated with antibiotics commonly used for humans.

Not yet included in Chipotle’s GMO move are beverages. Most fountain drinks have ingredients that include GMOs, spokesman Chris Arnold said. He said that Chipotle is testing root beer from Maine Root, which is made with cane sugar and is non-GMO. About 92% of consumers believe that genetically engineered food should be labeled, according to a 2014 poll by Consumer Reports.

Upwards of 80% of goods con-

sumed in the U.S. contain GMO ingredients, primarily because about 94% of corn and 93% of soybeans grown in U.S. came from GMO strains in 2014, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.

The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food ingredients, continues to classify GMOs as safe.

Ells says the move to nonGMO ingredients did not result in “significantly higher” ingredient costs, nor, he says, did the company raise prices. Chipotle shares closed on Monday up 1%, or $6.25, at $643.75.

NEW YORK Carey Mulligan’s agent needs a raise.

The British actress, who broke out as a precocious schoolgirl in 2009’s An Education, has since then had a bevy of handsome co-stars.

Take Ryan Gosling in 2011’s Drive. Leonardo DiCaprio in 2013’s The Great Gatsby. And the three disparate gentleman vying for her heart in Far From the Madding Crowd (opening Friday), based on the Thomas Hardy novel. The film is corsets removed from this week’s other huge release, superhero blockbusterto-be Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Mulligan’s prickly, passionate Bathsheba Everdene is wooed, with varying degrees of romantic success, by Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge) and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen).

“It’s very difficult for me to not work with good-looking men. So I’ve got three in this one,” Mulligan says, joking that she had it formalized in her contract “a long

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY NIKKI REED & IAN SOMERHALDER ‘Twilight’ star Reed, 26, married ‘Vampire Diaries’ star Ian Somerhlader, 36, on Sunday in Malibu, Calif., reports ‘People.’ “Most beautiful morning ever,” Somerhalder tweeted on the big day.

time ago. I just snuck it in there.”

In real life, Mulligan has been married to musician Marcus Mumford (lead singer of Mumford & Sons) since 2012, something she barely touches on when making the media rounds.

But on screen, she wears her heart on her proverbial tightly fitted sleeve, thanks in this case mostly to Schoenaerts, who plays the sheep farmer who first pursues Bathsheba. The two had never met before filming, but “I just admired him from my living room, watching him on TV,” says Mulligan.

The whole experience, says Mulligan, was more stinky than seductive, unless your chosen fragrance is manure. Given that both Mulligan and Schoenaerts play country folk, they became very familiar with sheep excrement.

“That was fun in the beginning of the day. At the end, it was less fun. The water just smells,” says Mulligan. “I have a photo of us in our waders. We had to take several showers (a day).”

Concurs Schoenaerts, born and raised in Belgium: “Ninety minutes of showers. I grew up in the city. I’m an urban guy.”

Celebrities say they also enjoyed the reunion for the one-

time huge hit that still draws a solid audience.

“Next time they shouldn’t wait so long. We love each other.

When you do that show, you become a family,” says singer Gladys Knight, who took a leap of faith to compete in Season 14. “It was totally out of my comfort zone. The Pips were the dancers. But it was an awesome experience.”

Longtime pro Karina Smirnoff, who performed in the football dance, says she choreographed it to honor Dancing’s long run.

“I wanted to pay homage to moments that were memorable within their seasons, so that’s why I had Jacoby (Jones) jump over my head and had the move with Donald (Driver) where I held my ankles and he twirled me around, says Smirnoff, who is not competing this season.

Actress Lea Thompson, a former dancer who participated in Season 19, says the series has done a wonderful job promoting the art form.

“It’s brought dancing back to the forefront of being cool. Now that people binge-watch TV, I think a live program is an advantage for a network to have,” she says.

Shows such as Dancing and Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance have created greater awareness, Inaba says.

“When I go out, people talk to me about dance. They talk about dance now as if they talked about football or basketball. They know the terminology,” she says. “As far as the emotional aspect, the show has really inspired people.”

Shirley Martin-Smith and Teresa Treanor were honored April 20 during the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center’s annual Pioneer Celebration, which recognizes community leaders for their support of mental health in Douglas County.

The Pioneer Award “is given to an individual whose efforts and achievements to secure accessible and comprehensive community mental health services for all Douglas County residents are exceptional and typify the progressive caring spirit, which led to the founding of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center,” said Sue Hack, a member of the Center’s Governing Board of Directors, in

And the social interaction actually helps some patients heal faster.”

Wes: Last week Kyra and I revealed our shocking magic cure to stuckin-a-rut, ill-defined teen and young adult dating.

We suggested people actually date, maybe up to 25 different people per year. This week, I’ll tell you why: l The whole point of dating is to figure out whom you don’t belong with. People young and old miss this key axiom until they’ve struggled through a series of relationships, and perhaps a few marriages, trying to make a beloved into someone they’re not.

Some partners are only good for about half of a relationship. That half may be awesome, but it’s still only half. That won’t be enough to sustain the connection over the long haul. Rather than try and manufacture a great match, try dating a wider sample of people, while accepting that some you’ll want to keep and others you need to let go. l Dating is like “Wheel of Fortune.” Maybe the wheel comes down on $1,000,000, and maybe it comes down on bankrupt. Usually, it comes down on about $150,000.

Your goal is to not settle for any match that’s not really worth the effort.

Unfortunately, in this game, there isn’t just one wheel. You have one, and all your prospective partners have one. If you calculate the odds of two people hitting $1,000,000, they aren’t very good; thus, you need the whole

Spirit Award winner: Whole team deserves the credit

By Jeff Burkhead Special to the Journal-World

It seemed fitting when Ganis Himes accepted the Sandra Shaw Spirit Award at the Bert Nash Pioneer Celebration on April 20 that she asked

her fellow after-hours screeners to join her.

Himes, who supervises the after-hours screeners for Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, thinks of herself as one of them.

And she is.

Himes, who started doing mental health screens for Bert Nash in 1992, was one of the first screeners in the state.

“I was working as a case manager at the time, and my supervisor brought me a screen and

said, ‘This is something new we’re going to be doing, and there’s a patient at the emergency room, and I need you to do this,’” Himes said.

“She thought I would be really good at this because I had worked for

SRS doing child abuse investigations and I had already worked on call for a lot of juvenile intakes. So this was something I just fell into.”

It was a perfect fit.

LMH unit offers rehabilitation close to home

By Janice Early Special to the Journal-World

Patients affected by stroke, hip fractures and other debilitating illnesses or injuries are finding hope for returning to a normal lifestyle with the help of the acute rehabilitation unit at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The 12-bed unit is known as the Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness.

After 15 years of serving patients who need intensive levels of therapy to help them return to their daily activities, the unit soon will undergo a major facelift. Starting May 9, patients on the fourth floor will be moved to the third floor so construction work can begin. The renovation, which is expected to last about 10 months and cost about $4 million, is being supported in part by community donations. So far, about $1.6 million has been donated to the LMH Endowment Association to help with the project.

Program Director Jaye Cole said the Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness is looking forward to the physical enhancements, but the philosophy of the unit will not change.

“Acute rehabilitation prepares patients to re-

turn home,” she said.

“The goal is to return the patient home as functionally independent as possible. We work intensively on the essentials, such as walking, dressing, bathing, feeding, even swallowing.”

Staffed by physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, oc-

“That was a dream come true for Sandi,” Martin-Smith said of her friend, former Bert Nash CEO Sandra Shaw, who died in 2010.

Martin-Smith first met Shaw in the mid-1980s at a Rotary Club meeting.

“I had just opened my own business, and about that same time, Bert Nash started an endowment fund,” said Martin-Smith, who has been in the staffing service industry since 1976 — she is the local franchisee of Adecco. “I told Sandi I don’t have any money to give for your endowment because I just opened my business and I’m not making

“Her passion and dedication go beyond a job description,” Bert Nash child and family therapist in Eudora and afterhours screener Kathleen Boyd said in her nomination of Himes. “She has never in my years of working with her been anything but positive, encouraging and supportive.”

‘Part of the team’ In typical modest fashion, Himes gave her fellow after-hours screeners the credit for making her look good.

“I’m proud they are all really highly skilled professionals in their own right,” Himes said.

“They are all compassionate, kind and encouraging.

Everybody does it because they love it. I really consider myself a part of the team.”

The after-hours screeners work closely with law enforcement and hospital staff. Screens are typically done at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but they are sometimes done at the Douglas County Jail or the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center.

Hwi-Ja Canda, a social work coordinator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, works with Himes on a regular basis.

Cole believes the program can improve the quality of life in Lawrence and its surrounding communities. With an expected average length of stay of 10 to 12 days, many patients can return home and resume a somewhat normal routine. That is an accomplishment Cole finds very rewarding. She said the rehabilitative approach adds an important dimension to the range of services available.

Medical Director Shari Quick, MD, agreed, stating that the acute rehab unit does more than just correct an underlying medical problem; it creates strategies and techniques to help patients deal with their medical problems. Dr. Quick is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and serves as attending physician for patients on the unit.

“The Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness enhances the continuum of care here in Lawrence,” Dr. Quick says.

“Even if patients have to be transferred to Topeka or Kansas City for acute services we don’t offer at LMH, they don’t have to stay there for their rehabilitation. They can

One of those people Martin-Smith led to Bert Nash is Beth Ankerholz, who has held different leadership positions at the center and is currently the IT director.

“With pride, I go up to Beth every time I see her,” Martin-Smith said. “She is now in her 26th year at Bert Nash, and I placed her there as Sandi’s administrative assistant.

She went on to do great things at Bert Nash.”

Martin-Smith said she was grateful to be in the select company of past Pioneer Award winners — a number of them were in the audience at the Pioneer Celebration.

able, competent and skilled screener. She is very committed to taking care of people and does so in the most calm and caring manner,” Canda said. “She can work with any emergency or hospital staff, and she will make sure her screening process is completed.

She is excellent to triage these patients for the appropriate level of care and is very mindful when she makes a clinical decision. She never brags about herself, and her professionalism speaks for itself. She is an extremely hard worker with a strong commitment to helping clients. I am very grateful to know Ganis as my colleague.”

Receiving an award named for Sandra Shaw was especially meaningful for Himes because she worked with the longtime Bert Nash CEO. “I feel so honored to receive this award, because I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Sandra Shaw for many years,” Himes said.

“Sandra was an innovator, always seeking out ways to implement the best and most effective treatment procedures for Bert Nash clients.”

Himes was also proud to join her mentor, Sharon Zehr, Bert Nash homeless outreach and jail team leader and a former screening supervisor, as a recipient of the Sandra Shaw Spirit Award. Zehr and Connie Snow, Bert

She was proof positive that Bert Nash matters, and it made all those years I spent helping Bert Nash worthwhile.”

Treanor has publicly shared her story about dealing with depression and the help she has received from services offered at the Bert Nash Center.

“Teresa has had an immeasurable impact through her commitment that people in Douglas County know about the life-saving work we do,” Bert Nash CEO David Johnson said when presenting Treanor with the Pioneer Award. “And not only has Teresa shared her story and allowed us to share her story in so many ways, she has also helped a number of people get services at Bert Nash who would otherwise have suffered needlessly.”

For her part, Treanor was humbled to receive the Pioneer Award.

“I am honored to share this award with Shirley,” Treanor said. “I am also thankful to Bert Nash for all the help I am receiving and the wonderful work they do for our community. I am convinced I would not be here if it wasn’t for the team I have

Much of the allure of online dating is the opportunity not to settle for

“Much of the allure of online dating is the opportunity not to settle for whomever or whatever is close at hand, but to weigh one’s options before starting a conversation.”

whomever or whatever is close at hand, but to weigh one’s options before starting a conversation.

Most newer dating apps are variations on the Tinder model, which allows users to swipe left to “X” a user (boom, they’re gone forever) and right to “heart” one (they’re in — at least for the next round). Kind of like Wes’ spinning wheels, if two users heart each other, Tinder alerts both of a match and allows them to start messaging within the app. Location determines which people to display to a particular user, and their distances from each other are noted. Because Tinder is visually based, you must upload a picture, and you can also add a short description of yourself if desired.

My personal experience with this phenomenon is fairly limited. My friends and I joined briefly to play “Tinder Bingo,”

a game that uses a bingo card with squares labeled with aspects of user profiles instead of letters and numbers — truly a modernized classic. After playing, a couple of my friends realized just how awesome the app was and kept it on their phones to use for real.

Unfortunately, those of us who deleted the app promptly after yelling “Bingo!” joined the ranks of jokesters and fakes that real users must weed out in order to find quality matches. Of course, pursuing any relationship based on an online profile should be done with caution. That means limiting the posting of info and pictures until you meet in person in a safe public space for lunch or coffee. Luckily, reasonably compatible profiles are a dime a dozen, so one need not be stuck politely messaging a creeper.

Apps like Tinder differ from older Match. com-style sites by put-

And Treanor continues to share her story so others who suffer from depression will know they are not alone and help is available.

“I am compelled to do this, and I want to do this,” she said. “When you go through something that you know other people are also going through, you don’t want them to suffer any longer. I never felt like a pioneer; I just felt like this is what I need to do. People should never be ashamed or afraid to get help, or to help someone who needs it, just get to Bert Nash. Where there is help there is hope.”

Such is the life of an after-hours screener.

An after-hours screener’s primary responsibility is to evaluate whether a person is suicidal or homicidal and determine if hospitalization is necessary. Requiring a patient to be hospitalized when he or she doesn’t want to be is not an easy decision.

Typically, after a situation is stabilized, the patient is grateful for the efforts of the after-hours screener.

“Most people thank you, because they realize they were in a bad spot and they needed to go to a hospital,” Himes said. “It feels good when you screen someone and they’ve gotten help. I’ve had people come up and hug me and say, ‘Thank you for making me go to the hospital. I didn’t want to go, they say, but I’m glad you made me.

Dear Annie: I believe my sister’s husband, “Roy,” is having an affair. He and I have been flirting for several years, and we’ve had several occasions where we could have been together, but because of my sister, we never have.

My sister’s marriage has been troubled for years. The two of them live together, but in separate rooms. They haven’t been intimate for ages. My sister also has some health issues.

Roy has said many times that the two of them should be able to see other people. Recently, I saw Roy with some younger woman, and the way they were looking at each other, I knew they were more than friends. He has never looked at my sister that way.

We do a lot of things

together as a family.

During our most recent family weekend, Roy kept taking off alone.

I believe Roy knows that I’m aware of his affair, even though he hasn’t said anything.

I’m pretty sure my sister already knows and is hurting. She barely speaks to him and spends most of her time with her grandchildren. They both act as though nothing has happened.

‘Dancing’ celebrates 10 years Ten years on television is nothing to sneeze at. The “Dancing With the Stars 10th Anniversary Special” (7 p.m., ABC) presents clips from the series first 20 seasons as well as the return of 15 celebrity alums and seven professionals.

“Stars” has worked well for so long because it has the immediacy of sport and the familiarity of soap opera or game shows. It’s the perfect comfort food or time-waster, depending on your tastes, mood or appetite.

I’m not certain that this kind of series lends itself well to nostalgia. It’s a spectacle that thrives in the present tense. Do people watch “Best of the Price is Right”? If they do, I’d have to wonder why.

“Stars” judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli also appear on the U.K. series “Strictly Come Dancing,” which debuted in 2004. It was inspired by “Come Dancing,” a BBC favorite that ran roughly half a century — from 1949 to 1998. These shows have legs, so to speak.

“American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) invites viewers to revisit a nightmare with the two-hour documentary “Last Days in Vietnam.” The film recalls the evacuation of Saigon by American embassy personnel, CIA agents and other aid workers as North Vietnamese forces besieged the city and overran South Vietnam.

The film has too many scenes of heartbreak to catalog here.

But one stands out that captures the moment’s chaos with bizarre poignance. Civilian American disc jockeys had orders to signal their compatriots that the moment of immediate evacuation had arrived by means of a special code. They were to report that the temperature was “105 ... and rising” and to then play a recording of Bing Crosby’s version of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas.”

On the morning of April 29, 1975, the radio waves were filled with “sleigh bells in the snow” and everybody knew that a nightmare had reached its final, agonizing chapter.

Chiefs Ingram chooses Duke over KU, others might make move

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Wearing a gray tuxedo, white shirt and gray bow tie, Brandon Ingram stepped to a podium in the Kinston (North Carolina) High School gymnasium Monday night, and with six microphones in front of him, placed a Duke University hat atop his head.

The 6-foot-8 senior forward, who is ranked No. 4 in the basketball Class of 2015

by Rivals.com, announced for the Blue Devils over Kansas University, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Kentucky and UCLA. “I chose the program I thought was best the fit for me. Growing up, I was a Duke fan,” Ingram said. “I love everything about coach

K (Mike Krzyzewski). I want to impact the program as soon as I come in.”

Ingram averaged 24.3 points and 10.4 rebounds in leading Kinston to its fourth straight state title.

Questions about what might happen at UNC in the wake of the school’s academic scandal hurt the Tar Heels’ chances of landing Ingram, who played for

former UNC standout Jerry Stackhouse’s AAU team.

“We wanted to see something on paper,” Ingram’s dad, Donald, told the Raleigh News and Observer, saying an ongoing NCAA investigation “played a big factor” in his son not choosing North Carolina.

“We wanted to hear it

Please see HOOPS, page 3D Ingram Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The most revealing thing Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said during a 20-minute media session in which he endeavored to say as little as possible was this: He thinks there are about 12 “impact players” in this year’s draft.

Kansas City has the No. 18 pick in the first round.

So when you do the math, and consider the Chiefs have 10 selections thanks to an abundance of compensatory picks, there’s a good chance Dorsey will pick up his phone Thursday night and try to make a deal — especially if it means ensuring he gets one of those prized players.

“You try to keep all your options open,” Dorsey said.

“The hard part is when you move up, are you making the right move up? Or if you move back? Those are the things you sit and think about on a daily basis. When is the time to strategically take the player, move back or move up?”

Perhaps the dozen that the Chargers, choosing a slot ahead of Kansas City, or the Browns, who pick one spot later, are different than the 12 players that Dorsey picks out.

In other words, will it even be necessary to trade away a later-round pick to move up a couple of spots, or will the player that Dorsey and coach Andy Reid covet still be on the board at No. 18?

“I can tell you John has a good grasp on it,” Reid said.

“He has good people working around him. John is relentless, and he’s going to grind, grind, grind. I’ll put anybody up against him in that area. He’ll make sure every stone is turned.”

Dorsey likes to spout the old cliche of taking “the best player available,” and he’s mostly stayed true to that his first two drafts. But if need factors into the equation, look for Kansas City to target several positions.

South Carolina LB says he’s coming to KU ball home, former South Carolina linebacker Marcquis Roberts announced on his Facebook page his intentions to become a Jayhawk.

“Thank you to all the schools that wanted me to join their school,” he wrote in the post. “It feels like a second chance. I will be playing football and working towards my master’s degree at Kansas University. Blessed beyond belief.”

While KU can’t yet comment on the new recruit following his verbal commitment, if Roberts arrives in Lawrence already with his bachelor’s degree, he would be eligible to play immediately.

Gonzalez, on the other hand, won’t participate in KU games until 2016.

A 6-foot-1, 216-pound linebacker, Roberts couldn’t compete dur-

ing his first two seasons at South Carolina. In 2011, shoulder surgery left him sidelined, and he used his first medical red shirt.

The following year, Roberts had to utilize a second medical red shirt while sitting out to rehab his left knee (torn ACL).

The Powder Springs, Georgia, product finally got healthy and on the

field in 2013, when he played in 13 games, had 48 total tackles (31 solo), 1.5 sacks, 3.5 tackles for loss, defended two passes and forced a fumble.

In 2014, Roberts didn’t replicate that success. He played in 13 games, compiled 31 total tackles (15 solo), had 1.5 tackles for loss and defended two passes.

The Post and Courier in Columbia, South Caro-

lina, reported Roberts has two seasons of eligibility remaining after starting five games for USC this past season, and nine in 2013.

A three-star linebacker in the Class of 2011 according to Rivals.com, Roberts also received offers from Mississippi State, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Cincinnati and others before choosing South Carolina.

“He is a great kid, a great teammate and again it was just a very unCummings fortunate accident.”

Monday afternoon, Cummings tweeted out a message to his teammate, Glatczak: “Want to give a shoutout to my boy (Glatczak) — he’s a great player and teammate, I have nothing but love for him, I’ll be back.”

The 5-foot-10 QB remained on the turf long after sustaining the injury and had to be helped to the sideline by KU staffers.

Eventually, Cummings limped to the locker room

under his own power, making Beaty optimistic his program’s senior QB, and the incumbent starter, would be OK. Cummings replaced then-sophomore Montell Cozart as the Jayhawks’ first-string quarterback during Week 6 of the 2014 season.

With a new staff in place and months to go until the 2015 season, no starting roles have been assigned. Cozart and Cummings were set to split reps during the spring game until Cummings got knocked from the action.

Incoming KU freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis also figure to factor into the QB competition once they arrive on campus this summer.

Clock talk: The shot clock will likely be reduced from 35 to 30 seconds, NCAA Rules Committee chair Rick Byrd tells ESPN.com. The committee will meet May 12-15 in Indianapolis.

“There’s not a lot we can do unless we rewrite the rules,” Byrd told Andy Katz, referring to helping increase scoring in college hoops. “There will be pressure to do something, and one of those things to do is to lower the shot clock to 30. I think that would improve the pace of play.”

KU coach Bill Self has told the Journal-World he’s in favor of a 30-second shot clock. His comments are available at http://ljw.bz/1NLpl6R

Mets snap Marlins’ streak The Associated Press

National League Mets 3, Marlins 1 Miami — Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer with one out in the ninth inning, and the Mets snapped the Marlins’ five-game winning streak on Monday night.

The Marlins grabbed the lead in the eighth with three consecutive twoout singles, breaking up Dillon Gee’s shutout bid in a game that took only 1 hour, 58 minutes.

It was the fastest nineinning game in the majors since the Padres and Astros also finished in 1:58 on June 27, 2012, according to STATS.
