MYRNA LISKA GIVES A HUG TO HER 5-YEAR-OLD SON GARRETT in the kitchen of their new East Lawrence home on Thursday. With four children, Liska and her partner, Shane Rogers, moved in to the home off La Salle Street with the help of Lawrence’s Tenants to Homeowners affordable housing program.

Family buys first home with help from housing trust

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

In the 15 years Myrna Liska has lived in Lawrence, she’s had 11 addresses.

She ticked them off in her head Thursday afternoon sitting in her new East Lawrence home, her 3-yearold and pair of 5-year-old twins trying — but failing — to break her concentration.

Liska, 34, was always a renter.

Some of the places she’s lived in, she said, were not well maintained.

Others she called “uninhabitable.”

To Liska, that was the price of trying to live affordably.

“In order to get something affordable, you end up living somewhere that really should not be habitable,” Liska said. “And I have lived in places that should not have been rented to me.

“I dealt with it because I could afford it.”

here’s always a Dr. Dreamy.

You know, on those TV medical dramas there is always the one doctor who has the scrubs that fit a little tight around the biceps, and who at any moment may conduct a tracheotomy with his ballpoint pen.

The character you don’t see much on those shows is Gene Meyer, the longtime and soon to retire president and CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Hospital administrators don’t get a star on their dressing room door, and if they are in the script at all, it is to loan a ballpoint pen to Dr. Dreamy.

“We are usually in the background,” said Meyer, who is retiring at the end of May after 19 years with the hospital. “We are not the stars, but it is still pretty fun doing what we do.”

Fun, if you enjoy numbers. Numbers have been pretty important in Meyer’s life. One number that surely stands out is 10. That’s how old Meyer was when his father, an

executive with Kraft Foods, died in Chicago.

At that point it was just Meyer — an only child — and his mother. By 13, his mother had remarried and the new family moved to Kansas City.

Here’s another number: 8. That’s the number of years it took Meyer to get his undergraduate degree at Rockhurst University.

His entire college career — he had four more years to get a master’s degree — was through night classes.

Hospital employees, insert your own bloodsucking budget joke here, but no, Meyer is not a vampire.

Pitts: Time to stop ‘eating Jim Crow’ —————

At ACLU event, columnist calls Trump ‘greatest con job in history’

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

Pulitzer-winning columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. addressed a crowd of about 350 people at the ACLU of Kansas’ first Free State Forum on Saturday, calling for a realization that people “don’t need common blood to

reach common ground.”

Much of Pitts’ talk, held at Abe & Jake’s Landing in downtown Lawrence, focused on issues of race in America and how those concepts are playing a role in the presidential election. He quoted a lesser-known speech from Martin Luther King Jr. to explain

the concept of “eating Jim Crow” — how white southern aristocracy during the Reconstruction era symbolically fed the white underclass.

“And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that

told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the black man,” Pitts said, quoting the speech King delivered at the conclusion of Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo the Selma to Montgomery March on March 25, SHARON SPRATT, CEO OF COTTONWOOD INC., left, and Gene Meyer, outgoing president and CEO of Lawrence Memorial 1965.

He said he wants people to understand he doesn’t want them to believe in change — he wants them to be the change, get personally involved and become a voice for those who can’t have one.

Man faces charges responding to a report a stolen vehicle at a tied to grenades, C-4 of Parkville, Mo., self-storage Kansas City, Kan. — Federal prosecutors charged a former U.S. Army explosives expert on Friday with illegally possessing grenades that they said were among a cache of explosives that investigators found in his Kansas home.

John Panchalk, 42, of Overland Park, was charged with one count of possessing two fragmentation grenades unregistered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

Panchalk was arrested late Thursday after a search of his home.

Panchalk caught the attention of investigators Thursday when police

site found several storage trailers vandalized, according to an affidavit

by Roger Stous, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

One of them, later linked to Panchalk, contained explosives that included ammunition canisters, rocket fins, blasting caps, C-4 explosives and military grenade simulators, Stous wrote.

An ensuing search of his home by police and federal agents uncovered 38 pounds of C-4 explosive, detonation cord, blasting caps, grenade simulators, incendiary devices and the two fragmentation grenades, court filings allege.

What is affordable?

WWII bomber certified to fly Wichita — A World War II aircraft that took nearly 16 years to restore might be flying over Kansas in the next few weeks after receiving a certificate of airworthiness from the Federal Aviation Administration.

A nonprofit group called Doc’s Friends on Friday officially accepted the FAA certificate for a B-29 bomber known as “Doc.” The group has worked to restore the aircraft since its parts arrived in Wichita in 2000. The group will seek permission from the Pentagon to operate “Doc” at McConnell Air Force Base. The plane could be flying in the next few weeks. to Homeowners apply for the funds, which have gradually been decreasing over the years, Buford said.

Lawrence’s Community Development Advisory Committee decides on distributing the money.

On Tuesday, the City Commission will be asked to sign off on the 2016 allotments, which include about $130,000 for the Housing Trust. Usually, it receives about $200,000 per year, Buford said, and some years it’s gotten $400,000 to $500,000.

But with momentum behind the push for more affordable housing in Lawrence, Tenants to Homeowners — with four other partner organizations — was awarded $100,000 through Lawrence’s newly activated Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The groups are using the money to leverage funds through the national Neighborhood Stabilization Program and build three homes.

The three-home complex is off La Salle Street, just down the road from Liska and Rogers.

‘A hand up’ Liska and Rogers say they plan to stay in their home on La Salle for quite a long time. It’s energy efficient; there’s space for all six of them; and they have the backyard they’d been dreaming of.

Liska said something Buford echoed: that few people know about the Housing Trust or understand how to use it. In coastal cities, where the gap between what people make and what’s available to buy is typically greater, housing trusts are common. But here, it’s novel, Buford said.

“When I went to a conference about them in San Francisco back in the early 2000s, I thought, ‘Something like this would work in Lawrence,’” Buford said.

“Because there was this growing gap.”

Liska, a support manager at Wal-Mart, said she’s told many people about the Housing Trust, trying to spread the word that it’s an option.

“I work with hundreds of people who could use a program like this,” Liska said. “I think it’s also cultural... because we’re raised, ‘You don’t ask for help; you don’t take charity.’ But you have to realize, we’re paying for this.

We’re paying our mortgage. It’s a program that allows us to spend our money wisely.”

“We look at it as a hand up, not a handout.”

Pitts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Pitts said these words were a succinct summary of what he believes is the greatest con in American history: rather than provide poor white Americans a living wage, affordable housing, quality schools or health care, the money and political interest in the country has given them “whiteness.”

Historically, Pitts said, when the white underclass would complain about working conditions, the “money” would respond with threats to bring in black workers for less pay. Today, he said, the same principle is still being applied in order to prevent the underclasses from uniting into a powerful force for change, regardless of party lines and other differences, or even imagining the possibility of doing so.

“For a visceral example of this, you need look no further than the presidential election of 2016, in which Republican voters have fallen in love with a preening, narcissistic bully who doesn’t even represent the things they’ve

“Six months from now we will find out if the greatest con job in history will take a serial liar and open bigot to White House,” he said. “... We are long overdue for a moment of reckoning in this country, a moment of truth on race and class.

It is long past time that we begin to call that con job for what it is and help people to see the intersection between their misery and the misery of those other people who don’t look like them on the other side of town, because Jim Crow is a pitiful excuse for a meal.”

the insurance business.

There was enough to focus on with the hospital’s core business. A mantra developed.

“The mantra was we had to be a professional organization,” Meyer said.

When you ask Meyer about key decisions in his tenure, casual Fridays still ranks high on the list.

He ordered no more blue jeans on casual Fridays.

Blue jeans didn’t look like a professional hospital.

“People told me — and I don’t know if it was ever true, but it was the perception — that LMH was a Band-Aid station,” Meyer said. “If you were really sick, you would go to Topeka or Kansas City. We thought we needed to lead with quality improvements.

“Once we established some quality parameters, financial success came with it.”

That is true. In 1997, the hospital had net revenues of $42 million. In 2015, they had grown to $203 million. In 1997, cash reserves were at $2.3 million. In 2015, they stood at $136 million. The number of employees has grown from about 800 to a little more than 1,400. LMH is in the midst of a four-year streak of being named a top 100 hospital in the country by Truven Health Analytics. Technically, LMH is owned by the city of Lawrence, but city taxpayers don’t provide funding for the not-forprofit hospital. That’s not the case in all Kansas communities.

There was growth of another type, too. LMH added more than 200,000 square feet of space to the hospital building near Third and Maine streets.

Meyer said that when the oncology center was added several years ago, it may have been the major turning point for the hospital. It was a sign that the area physician community had grown confident in

LMH, so much so it would refer patients to the hospital to treat something as complicated as cancer.

And, importantly, the center helped erase an image that had long bothered Meyer.

“When I came here, there used to be a bus from St. Francis Hospital that showed up in our parking lot to take Lawrence residents to Topeka for chemotherapy,” Meyer recalled. “It was a sad thing to watch. People were very depressed about making that trip.”

Yes, even the numbers guy notices the emotions of this place. It is hard not to. As Meyer notes, unless it is for the birth of a child, most of the reasons to be in the hospital aren’t that good.

Emotion is never very far from the surface in an environment like that.

“There is an awesome responsibility here,”

Meyer says. “I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but every single day there are 1,400 employees out there facing moments of truth.

That’s what keeps me up at night, but it is also what gets me up in the morning.”

Soon, it will be the thought that wakes someone else up each morning.

Russell Johnson, from an Englewood, Colo., hospital, has been hired as the new president and CEO of LMH. When he starts sometime before Aug. 1, there likely will be much for him to learn about Lawrence and LMH. One fact he’ll learn is that there’s actually no Dr. Dreamy at LMH. If the scrubs fit too tightly, it may not be around the biceps. And the ball point pen is most often used for the bill. But that doesn’t mean there is not a star here. Ask a community like Indepen-

dence — which recently has watched its hospital close — how important it is to have a good place to go in bad times.

Meyer estimates there are probably another two dozen hospitals in Kansas that currently are on a “critical watch list.” Lawrence is not one of them, and that hasn’t happened by the luck of the draw.

Instead, LMH is bustling. When Johnson arrives, there will be plenty for him to explore and find. But he never will find that dressing room door with a star.

For the past 19 years, Meyer hasn’t spent his time hanging stars. He’s led a team that’s built one.

Chances are, someday you’ll visit the one he’s left behind for all of us.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION Agenda highlights • 5:45 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • WOW! Channel 25 • Meeting documents online at lawrenceks.org

BACKGROUND Commissioners will hear from the public Tuesday about the 2017 budget.

Lawrence kicked off its 2017 budget talks May 3, with city commissioners hearing from the city finance director that the general fund, the city’s main fund for public services, will continue decreasing over the next five years and operating at a deficit if the city continues making and spending money at the same rate it is now. Since then,

BRIEFLY Kan. drought-free for first time since 2010 Hutchinson (ap) — For the first time in nearly six years, Kansas is officially considered drought-free.

The Hutchinson News reports the current U.S. Drought Monitor map of Kansas says no drought exists in the state for the first time since July 13, 2010.

One of the worst droughts in the state’s history began in the summer of 2010. The drought fluctuated but as late as April 12, 97 percent of Kansas showed some drought conditions.

Rains in April and May helped wipe out the last of the drought — at least for now. Rainfall amounts in those months included more than 4 inches in Salina and Garden City and 7.46 inches in Hays.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the 2011 and 2012 droughts cost farmers nearly $5 billion in crop losses.

1.5% 2.0% 3.1%

Public to be heard on budget commissioners held two public input sessions to hear from residents what services they want prioritized in the budget.

Tuesday is the public’s next chance to provide feedback.

City commissioners will convene for a budget work session from 3 to 5:15 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. for a review of the capital improvements program.

The regular meeting of the City Commission starts at 5:45 p.m.

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Sunday, May 22, 2016

EDITORIALS

Ballot questions With elections fast approaching, questions surrounding Kansas voter registration laws still seem far from settled.

A

nother court ruling challenging the Kansas voter registration law has added one more level of confusion to an already scrambled election picture in the state.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ordered Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to accept the registration applications that about 18,000 Kansans filed at drivers license stations across the state. Those registrations were placed on hold because they didn’t include the proof of citizenship required

by Kansas law. However, Robinson said the state law conflicts with the federal Motor Voter Act, which allows voters to register at motor vehicle offices by swearing, under penalty of perjury, that they are citizens but without presenting a birth certificate or other citizenship documents.

Kobach promptly indicated he would file an emergency appeal of Robinson’s decision with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. To accommodate that appeal Robinson delayed implementation of her order until midnight on May 31.

Kobach also made a quick announcement about policy steps his office had taken to help facilitate the transfer of citizenship documentation from the Department of Motor Vehicles to the secretary of state and local election officers. It’s too soon to tell whether those steps will make a significant dent in the number of registrations that have been placed on hold, but even if they do, the policy changes ignore the key point of Robinson’s ruling, which is that Kansas has no authority to require citizenship documentation from those voters in the first place.

The ruling, however, applies only to federal elections, which likely would perpetuate the state’s two-tier election system that allows some Kansas voters to vote in local, state and federal races while other Kansas voters can vote only in congressional and presidential races based on how they registered. Although Kobach instituted the dual system in the last election cycle, he said on Wednesday that the court order “would be a nightmare to administer.”

Robinson was unswayed by Kobach’s argument, saying that any problem the state faces “is outweighed by the risk of thousands of otherwise eligible voters being disenfranchised in upcoming federal elections.” The ruling also commented on the larger picture of Kansas voter registration laws being justified as necessary to prevent voter fraud. Noting that the state had identified only three illegal voters and 14 illegal registrants from 1995 to 2013, Robinson concluded that “the Court cannot find that the State’s interest in preventing noncitizens from voting in Kansas outweighs the risk of disenfranchising thousands of qualified voters.”

In other words, the cure is worse than the illness.

Unfortunately, the current confusion about who gets to vote in Kansas and in what races isn’t just a bad dream. With the Aug. 2 primary less than three months away, the state is running out of time to settle these issues in a way that doesn’t bar thousands of qualified Kansas voters from casting their ballots.

Trump might diminish presidency Washington — The mere possibility of a Donald Trump presidency — goldplated faucets in the house first occupied by John and Abigail Adams — will perhaps have a salutary effect.

It might demystify an office that has become now swollen with inappropriate powers and swaddled in a pretentiousness discordant with a republic’s ethic of simplicity. This wholesome retreat from presidential grandiosity would be advanced if on Jan. 20, 2017, the 45th president delivered the following inaugural address: My fellow Americans, brevity is not only the soul of wit and the essence of lingerie, it is, on occasions such as this, polite. You who are arrayed in front of me, losing the feeling in your feet as you stand on the frozen Mall, should be spared a long soliloquy by someone who, as a presidential candidate, inflicted on you an excruciating amount of talk.

Besides, you have hired me only to administer one of our three branches of government, and only for four years. So let’s avoid unseemly excitement about today’s routine transfer of power.

Years ago, Dallas Cowboy Duane Thomas said this about another recurring extravaganza, the Super Bowl: “If it’s the ultimate game, how come they’re playing it again next year?” I may ask Mr. Thomas to be my press

“

I probably will not have one because I hope weeks will pass without having to bother you with reminders of my existence. Weeks during which there will be nothing much of importance to hear from or about me as I go about the humdrum business of seeing that the laws enacted here on Capitol Hill are faithfully executed.

In the next four years, beloved entertainers will die, local law enforcement disputes will occur, March Madness will come and go — and I will have nothing to say about any of these things because they are unrelated

to my duties, which do not include serving as national pastor-cum-pundit.

As is traditional, at the conclusion of these remarks I shall eat lunch in the Capitol with Congress. But before doing this, I shall pay a tribute to Congress, which the Constitution’s Article I establishes as the first branch of government. My tribute will be to delay joining its members for the 10 minutes or so it will take to sign a stack of executive orders nullifying most executive orders issued by my predecessor. He used them to wield executive power to institute policies and alter laws that properly should be initiated by Congress.

This will be enough business for Day One of my first 100 days. And I promise you this: On the 100th day of my administration, America will be ... pretty much indistinguishable from what it is today. Would you, my over-excited countrymen, really want it any other way?

Would you really want to live in a nation that can be substantially changed in a matter of a few months by a hyperactive government?

For efficiency, and to minimize unnecessary folderol, I am going to take a minute right now to deliver my first and last State of the Union address. It is this one sentence: Things are much better than they once were — slavery? Gone; the Oregon Trail? Replaced by the Inter-

state Highway System — but things could be better.

There. Wasn’t that less disagreeable than the annual midwinter prime-time pep rally that presidents stage because of the Constitution’s blurry mandate that the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress information” about the country’s condition? How quaint. As though Congress is interested in information.

After today’s lunch, Congress should try nibbling at the edges of our problems, many of which Congress created to please you, the clamorous people. To you I say: We have nothing to fear but your insufficient fear of what has been done on your behalf and at your behest.

In the 2016 “contest of opinion through which we have passed” — Thomas Jefferson’s decorous description, at his first inauguration, of the ferocious 1800 campaign — a trillion words were spoken, approximately none about the public’s appetite for unfunded government entitlement programs.

If you want the United States to be Puerto Rico writ large — or, even worse, Illinois — just stay the course you are on. In words Lincoln spoke at his first inauguration, the nation’s fate is “in your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine.”

Most dangerous place isn’t on a map I hesitate to bring up facts.

If recent years have proven nothing else, they’ve proven that we have fully embarked upon a post-factual era wherein the idea that a thing can be knowable to an objective certainty — and that this should matter — has been diminished to the point of near irrelevancy.

Donald Trump is the avatar of the era. Not content to rest on his laurels, he recently provided superfluous proof of his supremacy in mendacity. Asked by The New York Times to name the most dangerous place in the world he’s ever visited, Trump replied that “there are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world. You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously.”

You wonder whether it’s worth correcting him. After all, neither Trump nor his followers seem especially interested in truth. But for the record, according to the Citizens Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice in Mexico, which tracks murder statistics around the world, only four U.S. cities make the list of the 50 most dangerous places on Earth. None of them is Ferguson or Oakland.

Trump’s use of those cities, both with high poverty

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

… it got me thinking about this whole concept of the most dangerous place on Earth. If by that we mean the place with potential for the greatest amount of harm to the largest number of people, maybe we should broaden our definition of ‘danger.’”

rates and large AfricanAmerican populations, is, of course, intended as a crude dog whistle to the angry white men he’s courting — some old-fashioned victim blaming and shaming to rouse the rabble. But it got me thinking about this whole concept of the most dangerous place on Earth.

If by that we mean the place with potential for the greatest amount of harm to the

largest number of people, maybe we should broaden our definition of “danger.”

For example, climate change is sure dangerous, linked as it is to increased risk of fire, flood, famine, drought, freakish storms, high temperatures and resultant illnesses.

The World Health Organization says this already contributes to 150,000 deaths a year and that between 2030 and 2050, the death toll could rise to a quarter million a year. A 2015 study in the journal Politics and Policy found the GOP is virtually the only major conservative party in any democracy on Earth still denying this reality — and opposing measures to deal with it.

So the most dangerous place on Earth could be Republican headquarters.

Lead poisoning causes behavioral problems and irreversible brain damage in children and memory loss, high blood pressure, decline in mental functioning, reduced sperm count and miscarriages in adults. The water crisis in Flint, Mich., we now find, was the tip of the proverbial iceberg, with reports that high lead levels have been found in 2,000 water systems serving 6 million people in 50 states.

So the most dangerous place on Earth might be your local water department.

The economic collapse of

2008 wiped out $7.4 trillion in stocks, $3.4 trillion in real estate and 5.5 million jobs, according to a report from the Pew Charitable Trusts. It cost the average American household $5,800 in lost income.

The effects were felt worldwide amid fears of a global financial meltdown, a Second Great Depression, brought about by too-big-to-fail-banks playing the U.S. economy like a Vegas casino. Some experts say the threat of a relapse endures.

So the most dangerous place on Earth may be Wall Street.

But it isn’t. No, the most dangerous place on Earth is none of the above.

Consider for a moment: To lead America through a world of complex and difficult challenges, the Republican Party offers us Donald Trump. He is pervy, thinskinned, loud-mouthed and volatile, a preening bully and serial liar who shows little evidence of core values, nor even inner life. Yet, some large percentage of us thinks he should have access to the nuclear codes.

So if you really want to know the most dangerous place on Earth, it’s simple.

It’s every polling place in America, come November.

Low Vitamin D Levels Raise Riskof Death from Multiple Causes

Curcumin Eases Inflammation and Pain After Exercising

If you want to increase your risk of death in any given year, having a vitamin D deficiency will certainly boost your chances. Conversely, maintaining normal levels of the vitamin will lower your risk of death.

Ben Schöttker, PhD, of the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, along with a multi-nation team of collaborators, analyzed data from eight published studies of vitamin D and mortality. Those studies, which were conducted in the United States and Europe, included a total of 16,018 men and women ages 50-79 years. In those studies, a total of 2,624 people died from cardiovascular diseases, and 2,227 died from cancer.

Curcumin, an extract from turmeric root, is well established for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. A new study by Spanish researchers has found that curcumin supplements can also benefit people who regularly exercise.

Franchek Drobnic, MD, PhD, of the Olympic Training Center in Barcelona, Spain, and his colleagues studied 20 healthy young men who routinely exercised for at least four hours each week. The men were given a proprietary curcumin formula that used lecithin as a fat-soluble medium to enhance absorption.

They found that vitamin D levels varied by season, country, and sex— men had higher blood levels of the vitamin compared with women.

Some of the subjects took the supplements, containing 200 mg of curcumin, twice daily for four days—two days before a strenuous exercise test, the day of the test, and one day after it. Others took placebos.

Overall, people with the lowest levels of vitamin D were 57 percent more likely to die from any cause, including cardiovascular disease over four to 16 years of follow up. People with a history of cancer were 70 percent more likely to die if they had low levels of the vitamin, compared with people who had relatively high levels.

Men taking curcumin supplements reported less pain in the lower limbs, with the most significant reductions in the right and left anterior thighs, when Drobnic compared them to those who took placebos. In addition, men taking curcumin had less muscle damage, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and levels of pro-inflammatory interleukin-8.

EgyptAir jet was smoky before it crashed Cause still unknown, but one official says terrorism more likely than ‘technical error’ Doug Stanglin and Steph Solis USA TODAY

An automated system sent messages indicating smoke was detected in multiple spots on EgyptAir Flight 804 just minutes before it crashed into the Mediterranean Sea, French investigators said Saturday.

The discovery provides new details on the final moments of the flight from Paris to Cairo but fails to shine light on a specific cause of the crash that killed all 66 aboard.

Sebastien Barthe, civil aviation

spokesman with France’s Bureau of Investigations and Analysis, told the Associated Press that the messages “generally mean the start of a fire.”

However, he added: “We are drawing no conclusions from this.

Everything else is pure conjecture.”

The Airbus A320 crashed shortly after entering Egyptian airspace early Thursday. It was flying at 38,000 feet when it suddenly swerved left 90 degrees, then right a full 360 degrees before descending thousands of feet and going off radar.

Photographs released by the Egyptian army Saturday show lit-

Pieces of a life jacket were reported recovered from the missing EgyptAir Flight 804.

tle remains of the devastation — just mangled bits of debris, tattered clothing and a life vest, among other objects.

Search crews returned to the

area where pieces of the wreckage were found to look for more debris and the bodies of the 56 passengers and 10 crew members killed in the crash. Investigators are eager to track down the plane’s black boxes, which contain voice recordings from the cockpit and flight data.

The recovery of the black boxes is crucial to finding out what happened in the fateful moments before the plane crashed. The devices emit “pings” that can be detected with sonar, with batteries that can transmit the sounds for 30 days.

Authorities are looking for clues that terrorists may have brought down the flight, with some officials saying that could explain the plane’s erratic movements before the crash. Aviation

DENVER Marijuana users, researchers and investors are eager to hear whether federal officials will remove pot from the same drug classification as heroin, LSD and bath salts.

Federal drug officials say they are considering removing marijuana from what’s known as Schedule 1 classification, with a decision expected this summer.

That classification makes marijuana illegal to prescribe and declares that it “has no currently accepted medical treatment use,” although 24 states permit some form of medical marijuana use.

Reclassifying marijuana would make it easier for researchers to

“We’re saying, let’s start doing some research on it. It’s common sense.”

David Cunic, CEO of Pazoo, which runs marijuana testing labs in three states

work with the plant, which is subject to strict limitations and officially can be acquired only from a single government garden.

Schedule 2 drugs include morphine, methamphetamine and oxycodone.

“I think it’s just common sense to allow good science to be done,” said U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-

Colo., who supports the change.

Polis has repeatedly pushed President Obama’s administration to loosen restrictions and enforcement around cannabis use.

The Drug Enforcement Administration routinely reconsiders drug classifications, and has several times declined to change marijuana’s categorization since it was added to the list in 1970.

DEA officials declined last week to discuss the rescheduling process, although agency leaders earlier this year announced they were again considering the change in a letter sent to Congress. They didn’t specify a date by which they’d reach a decision.

“No one is asking to make it legal overnight. We’re saying, let’s start doing some research on it. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

investigators are checking and questioning all ground staff at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport with any link to the EgyptAir plane before it departed for Cairo, the AP reported.

Authorities have largely been cautious in providing statements as to what may have brought the plane down. But Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi said the possibility of a terror attack as the cause of the crash is “higher than that of a technical error.”

No militant orgnanization has claimed responsibility for the crash. That’s in contrast to when the Islamic State claimed responsibility for downing a Russian jet over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula just hours after it crashed, killing 224 people.

Toyota, GM arm for race vs. Tesla But strategies diverge in competing with electric car maker Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The emergence of a new class of vehicles known colloquially as “Tesla fighters” poses a serious threat to the electric vehicle manufacturer’s position of strength, even as some in the industry remain skeptical about the concept.

After Tesla raised $1.4 billion in a public offering of stock to fund the production of its mass-market Model 3 electric sedan, the automaker’s ambition to popularize electric cars — once viewed by the traditional auto companies as a fantasy — is more real than ever.

Even with conventional internal combustion engine vehicles dominating the showroom floor, most major automakers are rushing to catch up.

Official: Taliban leader likely killed by U.S. drone Pentagon assessing results of strike Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor was likely killed Saturday in a U.S. drone strike in a remote area of Pakistan, a U.S. Defense Department official said.

Mansoor, who is believed to be around 48, formally assumed the leadership of the Taliban last year following the death of Mullah Mohammad Omar.

The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the attack, said Mansoor was believed killed when the drone hit a vehicle in which he and another militant were riding. The second person was killed by the strike authorized by President Obama, the official said.

The airstrike by U.S. Special Operations forces occurred southwest of the town of Ahmad Wal near the border with Afghanistan.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook announced earlier that the U.S. conducted a strike aimed at Mansoor but said officials were still assessing the results.

RAHMAT GUL AP

Mullah Akhtar Mansoor

Cook said Mansoor, who had been Mullah Omar’s deputy, was “actively involved with planning attacks against facilities in Kabul

and across Afghanistan.” He said the Taliban leader presented a threat to Afghan civilians and security forces, as well as U.S. and allied forces.

Mansoor was elected head of the Taliban in July but effectively had been in charge of the group since the death of the reclusive Mullah Omar as early as 2013, according to the Afghan government. The one-eyed, secretive Mullah Omar hosted Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda in Afghanistan in the years leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

“We should keep our unity, we must be united, our enemy will be happy in our separation,” Man-

soor purportedly said at the time of his election. “This is a big responsibility for us. This is not the work of one, two or three people.

This is all our responsibility to carry on jihad until we establish the Islamic state.”

Sirajuddin Haqqani was named the Taliban’s new deputy leader in July. It was not immediately clear who will succeed Mansoor.

Haqqani was the operational head of the militant Haqqani Network and has been responsible for attacks on foreign and Afghan targets. The Haqqani Network had worked closely with the Taliban but maintained a separate leadership structure until 2015.

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen

Momentum growing, backers say v CONTINUED FROM 1B

@coopallen USA TODAY

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have exchanged sharp jabs as the primary campaign winds down and their almost certain general election matchup takes shape. But do they at least agree each is qualified to be president? Of course not.

Top news from the world of politics:

It’s common sense,” said David Cunic, the CEO of Pazoo, which runs marijuana testing labs in California, Colorado and Washington. “People are looking for alternatives.”

Cunic, who is also a physical therapist, believes marijuana could serve as a safer alternative to prescription opiate painkillers.

He said medical professionals are ethically obligated to empower patients with knowledge, and many doctors are concerned about the risks associated with highly addictive and potentially deadly opiates.

Not every doctor is rushing to embrace marijuana, however.

Scott Krakower, an addiction disorder specialist at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, N.Y., says he’s reluctant to recommend pot to his patients because there is so little research. Unlike prescription medications, marijuana

comes in a wide variety of strains and strengths, and despite centuries of use, scientists don’t know exactly how it works, especially for the range of ailments its boosters say it can aid.

“Many patients are unaware that using marijuana can have devastating consequences, including higher risk of developing a mood and psychotic disorder, increased rates of other substance use and potentially dependence to the agent itself,” Krakower said in an email. “In addition, there are concerns with lack of regulation of these products and false advertising of what they contain.”

Concerns such as those are precisely why U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat, wants to see marijuana rescheduled. If doctors have concerns, he said, scientists should be allowed to answer them.

“Maintaining the fiction of Schedule 1 categorization just de-

“Pretty soon it’s going to be a liability to oppose reform.”

John Hudak, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution

stroys their credibility,” Blumenauer said of federal regulators.

The House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a Blumenauer-sponsored amendment that would allow Veterans Affairs doctors to recommend marijuana to veterans, the way other physicians can in 24 states.

The Senate has passed a similar proposal, but the two versions must still be reconciled. The proposal doesn’t change marijuana’s classification but allows VA doctors to take advantage of existing state medical marijuana programs.

Blumenauer said the fact that

both chambers of Congress think veterans should have access to medical marijuana should prompt regulators to think seriously about rescheduling it.

“I think this moment is cresting,” he said. “The movement, the momentum, is palpable.”

John Hudak, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, isn’t so sure. He said it’s unlikely the DEA and Food and Drug Administration’s doctors will reschedule marijuana this year.

“Doctors are even more riskaverse than Congress is, and the DEA is staffed almost entirely by drug warriors,” he said. Hudak called on the next president to convene a summit on marijuana across America, arguing that the federal government needs to provide more clarity on the issue.

“Pretty soon it’s going to be a liability to oppose reform,” he added. “We’re not there yet, but marijuana is going in that direction.”

Clinton plays both offense and defense as the race heats up.

THE QUALIFICATIONS DEBATE Hillary Clinton may still be trying to wrap up the Democratic nomination but, for all intents and purposes, she’s turned her focus to Trump. To that end, she blasted the presumptive GOP nominee in a CNN interview on Thursday, saying that he was “not qualified to be president of the United States: The kinds of positions he is stating ... are not just offensive to people — they are potentially dangerous.”

Trump hit back the next day on Twitter, saying he believed “Crooked Hillary Clinton” was likewise not qualified because of her judgment and that “Bernie said the same thing,” citing a Sanders comment earlier in the campaign, which the Vermont senator later walked back.

Christie wasted no time hitching onto front-runner’s train.

CHRISTIE FOR VP? N.J. VOTERS AREN’T TOO ENTHUSED Chris Christie’s name has popped up in much of the early speculation about who will be Trump’s running mate. A new Quinnipiac University Poll found that 72% of Garden State voters said Trump should not pick Christie. That probably has something to do with the fact that Christie’s 29% approval rating is “the worst approval rating in six years for any governor in the nine states surveyed by Quinnipiac University,” according to a release from the school.

Quest for open primaries a long shot Parties see little reason to change status quo to aid those who aren’t members

Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Bernie Sanders faces a lengthy, two-front battle if he hopes to achieve his goal of opening future Democratic primaries to the many independents who have supported him in this year’s presidential race.

Even if the Vermont senator persuades the Democratic Party to embrace more open primaries in its platform at the party’s national convention in July, individual states would have to enact the changes. Experts say that’s unlikely because many state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, who have no motive to change the status quo.

“He could call for this, but whether or not there’s going to be action on it is highly unlikely,” said Lara Brown, an associate professor at George Washington University’s graduate school of management.

Twenty states and the District of Columbia hold closed primaries or caucuses, meaning only registered Democrats may vote.

States that hold closed primaries would have to pass legislation to open them to independents, and some closed-caucus states would have to do the same to switch to an open primary system, said Josh Putnam, a University of Georgia political science lecturer.

“States would likely balk at the prospect of having to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democratic National Committee change somechairwoman thing that is an institutionalized custom,” said Putnam, who runs the elections blog Frontloading HQ. “This is an issue that is probably better dealt with from the bottom up rather than the top down. Of course, that is a grass-roots effort that is a long rather than short game.”

Tad Devine, one of Sanders’ top advisers, acknowledged obstacles to changing the process, but said, “I think we can work around them.”

The Democratic Party could

write rules strongly encouraging states to participate in a more inclusive process, he said. For example, it could bar delegates elected in closed primaries from participating at the convention, he said. Or the party could offer states incentives, such as an increased number of delegates, if they include independents in their primaries.

“One thing we know for sure is that parties have an enormous amount of power to decide their own affairs,” Devine said.

While Sanders has performed well in closed caucuses, his win in liberal-leaning Oregon on Tuesday marked his first victory in a closed primary (he lost Kentucky’s closed primary on Tuesday by only 0.43 percentage points).

His complaints about closed primaries reached a crescendo last month while campaigning in New York, where voters must register with their party in October to participate. That disenfranchised 3 million voters, Sanders said.

“The world has changed,” he said on MSNBC this month.

“More and more people are inde-

pendents and I think it makes no sense for the Democrats to say to those people, ‘You can’t help us.’

For Democrats to do well in a national election, they’re going to need a lot of independents, and I would not think it’s a good idea to push those people away.”

Sanders, a Senate independent who joined the Democratic Party to run for president, believes the party is strengthened greatly by bringing independents into the process early, Devine said. He sees open primaries as an antidote to low turnout and lack of electoral participation.

Others feel differently. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says a party’s nominee should be chosen by voters registered with that party.

“We should not have independents or Republicans playing games,” she said on Bloomberg Politics.

Sanders could offer an “olive branch” to those who favor closed primaries by calling for an end to caucuses, said Neil Sroka, spokesman for Democracy for America, which has endorsed Sanders. Clinton, in a 2012 email,

described caucuses as “creatures of the parties’ extremes” and Wasserman Schultz has said she favors primaries over caucuses.

Reforms such as open primaries are important to Sanders’ supporters to ensure that more progressive candidates like him have a shot at the Democratic nomination in the future, Sroka said.

Sanders’ supporters also back the candidate’s call to limit the power of superdelegates — party leaders and elected officials who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention.

This year, superdelegates are overwhelmingly backing Clinton.

Sanders hasn’t been precise in detailing which types of nominating contests he favors. He told The Washington Post last month he wants open primaries in all 50 states. But he later said on The Rachel Maddow Show that he likes the way caucuses engage people in the political process.

Such topics will be up for discussion with Clinton’s campaign and party leaders as the nominating contests wind down and “hopefully we can find a lot of common ground,” Devine said.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has not fared well in closed primaries that exclude his independent supporters.

He has won only one, in Oregon.

BROTHER OF BRUSSELS BOMBER TO BE IN OLYMPICS

Mourad Laachraoui, the brother of one of two suicide bombers who attacked the Brussels Airport in March, will represent Belgium at the Rio Olympics in the Taekwondo competition.

Laachraoui, 21, won gold at the European Taekwondo Championships in Montreux, Switzerland, on Friday and will compete in the under-59-kilogram category in Brazil. He will be on a squad of 185 Belgian athletes bound for the Games in August.

His older brother, Najim, 24, was one of two suicide bombers who blew themselves up in Brussels in the March 22 terror attacks that left 32 people dead.

At a news conference after the attacks, Mourad described his brother as a “nice, intelligent boy” who showed no signs of being radicalized before fleeing to Syria three years ago.

— Doug Stanglin VOLCANO ERUPTS IN WESTERN INDONESIA

A volcano in western Indonesian unleashed hot clouds of ash on Saturday, killing three villagers and injuring four others, an official told the Associated Press.

Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province blasted volcanic ash as high as 2 miles into the sky,

said National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.

He said ash tumbled down the slopes as far as about 3 miles westward into a river, the AP reported.

The 8,530-foot-high mountain had been dormant for four centuries before springing to life in August 2010, killing two people and forcing 30,000 to flee. An eruption in February 2014 killed 16 people.

MOUNT EVEREST CLIMBER DIES ON THE WAY DOWN

A 35-year-old Dutch man suffering from high-altitude sickness died on his way down from Mount Everest’s summit in the first death confirmed this year on the world’s highest mountain, an expedition organizer said Saturday.

There were unconfirmed media reports that an Australian climber had also died, the AP reported.

The Dutch man, Eric Arnold, died near the South Col on Friday night, Pasang Phurba of the Seven Summit Treks agency in Kathmandu told the AP. Arnold had enough bottled oxygen with him as well as climbing partners, but he complained of getting weak and died before he was able to come down to a lower altitude, Phurba said.

For at least five years, Donald Trump has been making false claims about hairspray and its impact on the ozone layer. Most recently, the likely Republican presidential nominee made comments at a campaign rally in West Virginia: uTrump said “hairspray’s not like it used to be” because chemicals in it that affect the ozone layer have been banned.

Many countries began phasing out the ozone-depleting substances in hairspray in the late 1980s, but these regulations wouldn’t affect the quality of hairspray. uHe also said using hairspray in his apartment, “which is all sealed,” would prevent any ozone-depleting substances from escaping into the environment.

But these chemicals would still make their way out, experts told us.

Hairspray is made up of a propellant and chemicals that make hair stiff. Hairspray and many other aerosols used chlorofluorocarbons as propellants until many major countries began phasing out these chemicals after the signing of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. CFCs are potent ozone-depleting substances.

In the place of CFCs, many countries started using hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons as propellants in aerosols. CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs are all potent greenhouse gases.

But HCFCs are about 5% to 10% as potent at depleting ozone as CFCs, while HFCs are generally not thought of as ozone-depleting substances. Though still used in other forms, HCFCs were phased out of aerosols in the United States in 1994, while HFCs still remain in use.

Trump has made claims about hairspray and the ozone layer at

least three times. Back in 2011 in Sydney, he implied the “eightinch concrete floors” and “eightinch concrete walls” of Trump Tower would prevent hairspray from “destroying the ozone that’s 400 miles up in the air.” In December 2015, at a campaign rally in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Trump also said he doesn’t “think anything gets out” of his “sealed” apartment when he uses hairspray.

On May 5, at a campaign rally in Charleston, Trump implied that the regulations on hairspray and coal mining are both unwarranted.

At the rally, an official from the West Virginia Coal Association endorsed Trump and presented him with a hardhat. Trump tried on the hat, which prompted him to talk about his hair: Trump, May 5: “Give me a little spray. ... You know you’re not allowed to use hairspray anymore because it affects the ozone, you know that, right? I said, you mean to tell me, cause you know hairspray’s not like it used to be, it used to be real good. ... Today you put the hairspray on, it’s good for 12 minutes, right. ... So if I take hairspray and I spray it in my apartment, which is all sealed, you’re telling me that affects the ozone layer? ‘Yes.’ “I say no way, folks. No way. No way. That’s like a lot of the rules and regulations you people have in the mines, right, it’s the same kind of stuff.”

We contacted Trump’s campaign for comment, but it hasn’t responded. If someone does get back to us, we will update this report accordingly.

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump repeated claims about the safety of hairspray on May 5 in Charleston, W.Va.

“So if I take hairspray and I spray it in my apartment, which is all sealed, you’re telling me that affects the ozone layer?”

An allied correspondent stands in the rubble in front of the shell of a movie theater in Hiroshima on Sept. 8, 1945. what Kerry called a “gut-wrenching” tour of its museum.

Kerry was accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who urged Obama to visit Hiroshima after the G-7 meeting.

Abe is a staunch conservative and supporter of the U.S.-Japan defense alliance but has been accused of seeking to downplay Japan’s wartime actions.

Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 in part be-

cause of his stated goal of stemming nuclear proliferation.

Abe and local leaders have insisted that an apology is not necessary.

Terumi Tanaka, secretary-general of the Japan Confederation of A-Bomb and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations, said at a Tokyo news conference that survivors and their supporters had put aside long-standing demands that U.S. leaders publicly apologize for

the bombings, in order to facilitate Obama’s visit.

Nonetheless, Tanaka said Obama should apologize at least to the memory of those who died or those who suffered. Tanaka was 13 and living in Nagasaki at the time of the bombing there.

At a separate news conference, a leading member of Japan’s parliament said it would be “completely unacceptable” for Obama to visit Hiroshima without making an explicit apology.

“If he is coming without an apology, he shouldn’t come at all,” said Shizuka Kamei, a representative of the Hiroshima region and a former top leader of Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party. Kamei’s older sister was killed in the Hiroshima bombing.

Retired U.S. Navy rear admiral Lloyd “Joe” Vasey, who served aboard submarines during World War II, said in a published commentary that Obama’s visit to Hiroshima would be viewed as an “implicit apology.” That’s a problem, wrote Vasey, founder and vice chairman of Pacific Forum CSIS. It “would be a gross insult to us and our valiant comrades who fought and sacrificed.”

VIETNAMESE EAGER TO SHOW OFF PROGRESS

Many also hope the last vestiges of the war, an arms embargo, can be erased Thomas Maresca

Special for USA TODAY HO CHI MINH CITY People in this bustling city are eagerly awaiting President Obama’s visit here Tuesday — not so much to catch a glimpse of the American leader as to show off their fast-developing country to him and the world.

“I’m actually very excited,” said high school student Xuan Mai, 16, in perfect English as she had a snack with friends at one of the glitzy shopping centers that have sprung up in recent years in the city center. “It’s an opportunity for our country to show how it’s grown. I think through movies, American people still think of the war, or that we’re poor. I want to change their perspective, their stereotype.”

Amid a construction boom that is seeing high-rise condominiums pop up across the skyline and the city’s first metro line, Obama’s first trip to the country 41 years after the end of the Vietnam War just isn’t that big a deal anymore.

One reason may be that he is the third U.S. president in a row to visit, after Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

“I’m not too excited or surprised, “ said accountant Dinh Bao Khang, 29, as he sat in a downtown public square on his lunch break. “There are many leaders coming to Vietnam these days. Vietnam is not a poor country like in the past. It’s more normal now.”

Khang said he welcomed closer economic ties and U.S. assistance

in Vietnam’s ongoing territorial disputes with its powerful neighbor, China, whose expansion in the South China Sea has been a big issue here. Vietnam has long hoped that the U.S. would lift an arms embargo in place since the 1980s. It was partially eased in 2014, and many hope Obama removes the remaining vestige of the war era.

“If the U.S. lifts the embargo, China can no longer look at Vietnam as a weak country,” Khang said. “But on the other hand, it might push China and the Vietnam closer to war. I think the U.S. can help Vietnam in many ways,

not just by selling weapons.”

The president’s visit and possible lifting of the arms embargo have triggered a fresh wave of criticism of Vietnam’s human rights record. The one-party state restricts freedom of speech, press and religion and has assaulted and imprisoned dozens of rights activists and bloggers, according to Human Rights Watch.

“It’s clear that trade and security cooperation with the Vietnamese government will be on the president’s mind when he arrives in Hanoi on Monday,” Charles Santiago, a member of the Malaysian parliament and

chairman of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Parliamentarians for Human Rights, said in a statement. “But President Obama must not forget about the Vietnamese people and their aspirations for a government that respects their rights and promotes their interests.”

After visiting Hanoi, the capital, Obama will travel Tuesday to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, before heading to Japan for an economic summit. His announced agenda includes meetings with government leaders as well as members of civil society, the Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative, entrepreneurs and the business community.

Some Vietnamese hope Obama addresses lingering damage from the war, such as unexploded ordnance and toxic chemicals used

by American troops.

“I hope President Obama will meet some of our people and get a chance to see with his own eyes the effects of dioxin,” said Tran Huu Quang, director of An Phuc Charity, which assists victims affected by dioxins. They can cause severe birth defects across generations.

While the legacy of the war still haunts both countries, many in Vietnam’s growing urban population want to keep that painful history as far in the past as possible.

“The war is so over now,” said Nguyen Van Cung, 42, a project manager for a construction company. “The relationship between America and Vietnam is getting better and better.”

Easier access to key financial data can empower consumers Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

Five years ago, consumers who wanted to know their credit score — a number that could mean the difference between a high or low interest rate, or whether applicants secure a loan at all — typically paid for it. Today, free access to credit scores is becoming the norm, with many card issuers providing it to at least some customers.

Discover, Wells Fargo and Capital One are among card issuers who offer consumers a free glimpse of the calculations that help determine how big a lending risk they might be.

The pressure to make scores free and more accessible is coming from consumer watchdogs, credit monitors and card issuers themselves. “Issuers that don’t offer free scores can find themselves at a competitive disadvantage,” says Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst at CreditCards .com, noting that consumers might expect to not have to pay.

Friday, Discover unveiled a tool to allow anyone to view their FICO credit score for free, whether or not they are Discover customers. It says it is the first credit card company to offer FICO information — a factor in more than 90% of consumer lending decisions in the U.S. — at no cost to the general public. But several other card issuers are expanding free access to credit scores.

Only a few years ago, consumers had to go to sites like Credit Karma and WalletHub to see, and not pay for, their credit scores.

But in November 2013, FICO launched its Open Access program, which enables all lenders who are FICO customers, including student loan companies, auto lenders and card issuers, to share scores with customers, along with the two most critical factors affecting that number. Experian, one of the three national creditreporting agencies, took a similar step the next year.

In February 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau weighed in, asking the nation’s biggest card companies to provide free access to credit scores along with other relevant financial information.

Fewer than one in five U.S. consumers examine their credit reports each year, a task that guards against identity theft.

Those scores can be a critical entry point to Americans scanning their more detailed credit reports. Fewer than one in five U.S. consumers do so in a year, according to the CFPB, but it’s a task that’s necessary to detect mistakes or spot instances of identity theft. Americans can get a free credit report annually from each of the three credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian and

TransUnion.

“Credit reports and scores can determine the terms of people’s mortgages, whether they qualify for auto loans or if they are eligible for different credit cards,” the bureau said in an emailed statement. “Improving access to these scores can help motivate consumers to check their full credit report, learn about their credit history and take action to im-

prove their financial lives.”

With Discover’s new Credit Scorecard, anyone can sign up and gain online access to not only their score, which is refreshed every 30 days, but a range of financial information, including factors that affect that FICO number, like missed payments and their number of accounts.

In March, Capital One became the first major bank to offer a free TransUnion credit score to the general public, regardless of whether they had a card, loan or other product with the bank. Users tapping into the CreditWise app or website can see a score that’s updated weekly and get a summary of key factors that affect their credit.

Wells Fargo, which had promotions offering free credit scores dating to 2012, began offering free FICO scores to its credit card holders in March. On May 3, it expanded access to its customers with student loans, auto refinance loans or unsecured or secured personal loans. By the end of the year, borrowers with mortgages and home equity lines will be eligible for free scores. Ultimately, more than 30 million Wells Fargo customers will have access to their scores via smartphones or online.

Overtime pay: Decoding the new rule

The Labor Department last week finalized a rule that’s likely to make an additional 4.2 million salaried workers eligible for overtime pay. The rule, intended to boost low- and middle-income wages that largely have stagnated, takes effect Dec. 1.

Economics reporter Paul Davidson provides answers to some common questions.

Q A: Effective Dec. 1, it raises the WHAT DOES THE NEW OVERTIME RULE DO?

salary threshold at which whitecollar workers are exempt from overtime pay from $23,660 to $47,476.

Q

SO WHO WILL NEWLY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME?

A: The Labor Department estimates an additional 4.2 million executive, administrative and professional workers who earn above the old threshold but below the new one will be entitled to time-and-a-half wages for each hour they work beyond 40 a week.

Q

IF I GET PAID A SALARY RATHER THAN AN HOURLY WAGE, DOES THAT MEAN I WON’T BE ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME IF I EARN MORE THAN $47,476?

A: No, not necessarily. Workers

have to perform very specific duties to meet the overtime exemption. For example, performing “executive” duties means supervising the work of two or more employees and “administrative” duties requires the exercise of discretion and independent judgment, among other criteria. This Labor Department fact sheet explains the job requirements to meet the overtime exemption.

Q

WHAT IF I’M A BLUE-COLLAR OR HOURLY WORKER?

A: For the most part, such workers are already entitled to overtime regardless of their earnings level and will continue to be.

Q

DOES THE NEW RULE MEAN THAT ALL 4.2 MILLION NEWLY ELIGIBLE WORKERS WILL START EARNING OVERTIME PAY IF THEY WORK MORE THAN 40

CONVERTED TO HOURLY EMPLOYEES?

A: Many employers are likely to do that so their workers’ hours can be tracked more easily.

But they can choose to keep the workers on a salary, although they still must track their hours and pay them overtime if they put in more than 40 hours a week.

Q A: For the most part, it should IS THE RULE A GOOD THING FOR WORKERS?

WILFREDO LEE, AP

Even store managers might be affected by the rule as business owners weigh the option to convert them to hourly workers.

HOURS A WEEK?

A: Not necessarily. Employers have various ways to comply.

They can simply start paying overtime. But they can also raise an employee’s salary to the new threshold to avoid shelling out overtime. They can instruct affected employees not to work more than 40 hours a week and bring on part-time workers to pick up the slack. And some are likely to cut the base pay of af-

fected employees to offset the new overtime payments, effectively keeping their weekly paychecks unchanged. That’s legal but it would undermine the intent of the new rule, which is to put more money in workers’ pockets.

Q

WILL SALARIED WORKERS WHO BECOME NEWLY ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME HAVE TO BE

be. It should mean that workers will see bigger paychecks if they put in more than 40 hours weekly or a raise to the new salary threshold, assuming their employer wants to avoid the overtime requirements.

But many businesses say there will be negative unintended consequences. Many salaried workers will be converted to hourly, and so they’ll lose certain benefits and prestige, and may view the shift as a demotion.

Workers, including store managers, may have less flexibility to go the extra mile to do their jobs if their employer is intent on limiting their overtime pay.

Some may be told to restrict their use of email or work-related phone calls after hours.

How to protect investments from scammers

S

eniors, beware. Fraudsters are increasingly hawking annuities and life insurance as ways to bilk seniors out of their hard-earned nest eggs.

Thankfully, regulators, consumer advocates and others are on to their tricks and are fast at work arming seniors with the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves against those who might exploit them financially, especially concerning annuities and life insurance.

Here’s what Gerri Walsh, senior vice president of investor education at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), says you need to know:

ASK QUESTIONS

“When making any type of financial decision, the best way to protect yourself is to ask lots of questions — both of the person offering the investment and of yourself,” Walsh says. “For the person offering the opportunity: Are the investments registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or a state regulator — and if not, why not? How liquid is the investment? What fees will you have to pay? This should cover not only the fees you have to pay to buy or sell the product, but also any early-withdrawal fees or ongoing expenses. What are the risks? How can this investment lose money? Then make sure you ask yourself the right questions: Do you feel pressured to make a fast decision? Are you withdrawing cash without seeing the right documentation?

Are you being sold a product you don’t fully understand?

“Answering yes to any of these questions could be a red flag indicating that someone may be looking to exploit you.”

IS THE SALESPERSON REGISTERED IN YOUR STATE?

“When buying any type of annuity or other insurance products, it pays to ask whether the salesperson is registered in your state — and then check that person’s background using FINRA BrokerCheck (brokercheck.finra.org/) and confirming registration with your state’s securities and insurance regulators,” Walsh says. “Be sure to ask about the costs, including any upfront commission, charges to withdraw your money or cancel the contract and any other costs.

Also, be sure you understand how the product works.

Ask for details in writing, so you can take time to understand them and ask followup questions. Do your own research and read up on the products so you understand both the benefits and the potential pitfalls.”

As rents keep rising, more investors become landlords Knowing all of the risks and rewards can make owning rentals a good idea Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

When it comes to real estate investing, many Americans think of their favorite houseflipping reality show — demolition and redecorating, with hopes of a juicy payday. But a less glamorous form of real estate investing is coming into favor: becoming a landlord.

One of the biggest reasons more investors are opting to become landlords right now is because they like the income potential, National Association of Realtors chief economist Lawrence Yun says.

“Rents have been rising, hovering near six- or seven-yearhigh levels and are seeing close to 3.5% growth from 12 months ago,” Yun says. That means not just getting a steady flow of cash from a tenant but also the prospect of an even higher income stream with each passing year.

There’s no instant gratification in the form of knocking down walls or cashing six-figure sales checks. But a reliable and rising stream of income looks pretty darn good to many Americans right now, considering what savings accounts and Treasury bonds pay.

RENTAL SUPPLY IS LOW, AND DEMAND IS HIGH

The laws of supply and demand are in landlords’ favor right now.

On the supply side, there simply

aren’t enough available rental units. Vacancy rates were at just 7% in the first quarter of 2016, according to the Census Bureau, down significantly from 11.1% during the Great Recession and tied for the second-lowest figure since 1993.

On the demand side, a host of factors are driving more Americans to rent. Young professionals are increasingly mobile, with a 2015 survey by Rent.com showing 43% of Millennials, ages 18 to 34, have moved from their hometowns in pursuit of work — and 44% say they plan to move again in the next 12 months.

And while Millennials typically are seen as representative of all renters, as they don’t have the means or the desire to purchase property, older Americans increasingly are choosing to rent as well. Recent research by the Urban Institute indicates the population of renters 65 and older will hit 12.2 million by 2030 — more than double the level in 2010.

It’s no wonder some areas have seen an explosion in rental rates. In its National Rent Report for May, apartment marketplace Zumper.com identified 10 metro areas, from San Francisco to Miami to New York, where the median rent for a one-bedroom tops $1,700 per month.

All real estate is local, and local markets can vary widely.

However, it’s hard to argue that rents will go anywhere but up

for in-demand urban areas given these factors.

SHOULD YOU BECOME A LANDLORD, TOO?

Besides having the capital needed, there are some other important factors to consider before buying a property: uThink local. Yun says successful real estate investors prefer properties within a 30minute drive of their primary residence — and that’s not just so they can be on call as a handyman. “It’s about the unknown and a preference for knowing their local market,” Yun says.

“Even if all the data and statistics may say the investment property 200 miles away may provide a better return, most

people don’t feel comfortable not knowing the real estate market conditions.” This is good news if the rental market in your hometown is robust. But if not, you may be better off investing in other assets. uLook into regulations and taxes. As a landlord, you’ll have to report any rental income to the IRS, and you’ll be eligible for certain property-related deductions to offset any taxes. There-

your broker or adviser the name of a trusted person with whom they can check if they see unusual activity in your account, such as sudden large withdrawals or other changes that don’t fit your investment profile or strategy,” Walsh says. “Your trusted contact may be able to help the firm determine if someone is trying to take advantage of you.”

LEARN THE TECHNIQUES FRAUDSTERS USE

“Lastly, it helps to know the techniques that fraudsters will use to play on your emotions in their attempt to separate you from your money,” Walsh says.

“These include dangling the prospect of risk-free wealth, providing something such as a ‘free’ meal or special offer that makes you want to reciprocate, and creating a false sense of urgency to ‘act now.’ ” REMEMBER, REGULATORS ARE ON YOUR SIDE

Last year, the North American State Securities Administrators Association proposed model legislation to protect vulnerable adults from financial exploitation. The legislation would, among other things, require that financial advisers disclose to state regulators and adult protective services instances where they have a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a person 60 or older has been attempted or has occurred.

FINRA launched a toll-free Securities Helpline for Seniors at 844-57-HELPS (844-5743577), which provides older investors with a service to ask questions about their brokerage accounts and investments.

And this year, Rick Fleming, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investor advocate, said in a report to Congress that financial advisers should be authorized to protect clients from elder fraud. Financial firms “should have the ability to pause disbursements of funds, contrary to the explicit instructions of a customer, if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation is occurring,” he said, according to published reports.

A strong suspicion of elder fraud should trigger an obligation to notify adult protective services, Fleming wrote.

fore, understanding the tax requirements (or getting a good accountant) is key.

Also important is understanding local tenant and landlord regulations, says Walter Charnoff, CEO of Investability Real Estate, an online investment property marketplace.

“Tenant rights vary by state and municipality, so a new investor should be prepared to know what they legally can and can’t do as a landlord,” Charnoff says. In a perfect world, you’ll never have to evict a tenant or worry about property damage, but it is better to be safe than sorry. uAccount for maintenance and vacancy costs. If your mortgage check is $1,200 monthly and the tenant pays you $1,500 monthly, renting may seem like a no-brainer. But it’s not that simple, Charnoff says. “It is common for newer investors to underestimate the operating costs, especially the maintenance and turn costs when a tenant vacates,” he says.

And keep in mind that while doing the work yourself can save a few bucks, your time has a value, too — and that may mean nights and weekends playing handyman or screening prospective tenants. uThink ahead. Is your rental home in a university town where your children may wind up going to school? Is it in a location where you’d eventually like to retire, or simply a smaller house that will be easier to maintain as you age? If so, there may be an added benefit to owning a rental property beyond simply the short-term goal of making a few bucks.

Thinking long-term about your own financial goals could allow you to rent a property for now before you use it in another way down the road.

Exaggerator denies Nyquist in Preakness

Garry Jones/AP Photo

EXAGGERATOR WITH KENT DESORMEAUX ABOARD MOVES PAST Nyquist with Mario Gutierrez during the 141st Preakness Stakes horse race at Pimlico Race Course, Saturday in Baltimore. Exaggerator won the race.

Baltimore (ap) — Despite the fog, the rain and an undefeated Kentucky Derby winner to contend with, Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux knew the best route to the Preakness winner’s circle with Exaggerator — stay inside and wait.

The rider who started his career in Maryland, guided Exaggerator to a 31⁄2-length victory over Cherry Wine in Saturday’s $1.5 million Preakness, ending any chance for Triple Crown follow up after American Pharoah accomplished the rare feat last year. Nyquist finished third.

Just call Pimlico Race Course home track advantage, Desormeaux.

Stride by stride, Exaggerator made up ground along the rail as Nyquist and Uncle Lino dueled for the lead.

Desormeaux was watching.

“I had a dream trip,” he said. “To me it looked like Nyquist was trying to establish an outward position, maybe in the four path. He was jockeying for position all the way down the back side. And Exaggerator just kind of slid up the fence to the far turn where I actually got to slow him down and say ‘whenever I’m ready.’ “ He was ready with 3/16ths of a mile to go, and splashed his way past Nyquist to finally beat his nemesis after four losses, including a runner-up finish in the Derby.

“It was an amazing race and Exaggerator is an amazing horse,” Desormeaux said.

The day began on a somber note. Two horses died and a jockey was injured in the first four races, one of

the horses bred and owned

by Gretchen and Roy Jackson — the owners of the illfated Barbaro.

It was 10 years ago when Gretchen and Roy Jackson’s Derby winner Barbaro shattered bones in his right hind leg at the start of the Preakness. Seven months later, he was euthanized. The Jacksons’ 4-year-old filly Pramedya was euthanized on the track Saturday after she broke down during the fourth race. Jockey Daniel Centeno broke his right collar bone.

Earlier, 9-year-old gelding Homeboykris won the first race, and then collapsed and died while being led back to his barn.

Topeka — Throughout the Class 6A girls state swimming championships Saturday, Free State High senior Sydney Sirimongkhon-Dyck kept trying to remind herself to soak in the sights and sounds of the final meet of her career.

“OK, Sydney remember this moment when you’re done,” she thought to herself after repeating as state champion in the 50-yard freestyle at Capitol Federal Natatorium.

KU targets Porter, Young featured in KC Classic

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The opening tip of the marquee game of the KC Classic basketball tournament went to MoKan Elite point guard Trae Young, who after a couple dribbles, launched a deep lob pass to fellow blue-chip college prospect Michael Porter, Jr., who flushed it — one-handed of course.

In other words, it took about five seconds for the Kansas University hoops targets to live up to the hype as MoKan drilled Michigan Select, 89-40, Saturday afternoon before about 300 fans in Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

“I think sometimes when people think of Trae they think of a scoring point guard. He’s really shown the past couple weekends he’s just as good a facilitator as a scorer,” said Porter, a 6-foot-8 junior forward from Tolton Catholic in Columbia, Mo., who soon will be playing his senior season at a yet-to-be-determined high school in the state of Washington.

“He’s a great passer.

That’s the most (assists) he’s had in a while. He’s capable of that every game,” added Porter, who scored 29 points off 13-of-18 shooting and grabbed 10 boards in Saturday’s rout.

Young, 6-1 out of Nor-

man (Okla.) North High, who scored 103 points in 105 minutes in four games at last week’s EYBL event in Virginia, dished 16 assists while scoring 17 points off 6-of-9 shooting against the outmanned Michigan team.

“It may be a sign. I don’t know,” the personable Young said with a smile, jokingly referring to the fact he had so many assists in Lawrence, site of one of his finalists, the KU Jayhawks.

“I have great teammates. I know when I pass it to them they are going to make a play. I like giving my teammates the ball. I’m a leader.

It’s something I do. When

There are now but two solutions for Baylor and its Board of Regents.

1. Hunker down with head football coach Art Briles and be prepared to ride this hurricane of negative publicity and hope that nothing else happens.

2. Fire him.

The board is expected to keep Briles but two sources indicated firing him is being considered as the solution to a scandal that continues to be a nightmare for the entire school for what is now approaching a full calendar year.

On Wednesday afternoon, ESPN’s Outside the Lines released yet another report detailing more criminal behavior on the part of the Baylor football team under Briles.

Some of the “highlights” include assault by Baylor football players against Baylor students, and a new sexual assault charge against a former Baylor football player that was not pursued but the case is not closed. The report also includes a potential coverup by the Waco Police Department, not to mention an embarrassing lack of discipline on the part of the university.

Consistent with the way it has completely bungled this story from the start last August, Baylor is not commenting other than to issue another vanilla press release.

The irony is Baylor once hired a public relations firm to present its case to be chosen for the college football playoff but not for this PR disaster. If ever there was a time Baylor needed public relations help it is right now.

The investigation of the Baylor athletic department conducted by Philadelphia law firm of Pepper Hamilton is complete and the Baylor board of regents was briefed last week by the two lawyers during its quarterly meetings. It has not read the actual report yet, so nothing has been made public nor has any action been taken.

This latest round of bad news could change any potential action, or possibly even the final report. In the latest ESPN OTL report, one of the victims involved in one of the alleged assaults said they were never contacted for an interview by the investigators from Pepper Hamilton; that is not the look Baylor wants on this.

The quickest way to move on from any scandal is to fire the leadership, but dismissing Baylor president Ken Starr or athletic director Ian McCaw is not going to cut it. The only way Baylor can expedite this sordid ordeal is to fire the one guy whose overall impact in Waco is incalculable.

But how does Baylor fire Art Briles? He is responsible for one of the most impressive college football turnarounds in the last 30 years at a school that loves football and has been dying to be a real player in this sport for decades.

Much as all of Baylor benefited from the rise of its football team under Briles, so has the entire school been soaked in an endless mud bath under the weight of this scandal under the same man.

That’s how it worked for Oklahoma under Barry Switzer, USC under Pete Carroll or SMU in the pay-days of the ’80s. Given the nature of Baylor’s scandal — which is criminal — this is closer to Penn State under Joe Paterno than just the standard paying players money.

Irving, Texas — Brooks Koepka overcame two early bogeys and the huge shadow of being in the same group with Jordan Spieth at home, shooting a 5-under 65 on Saturday to take the lead into the final round of the Byron Nelson.

Kopeka was at 16-under 194 to match the best 54-hole score at the Nelson and put him two strokes ahead of Spieth.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fired a second straight 6-under 64 and was at 11-under 199, five strokes off the lead and tied for seventh. Woodland’s round consisted of 12 pars and six birdies.

Koepka took the lead with a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 14. That was the same hole where Spieth hit his drive into the water, had to punch into the fairway and then drained a 23-foot bogey putt in his round of 67.

LAWRENCE HIGH SWIMMER EMILY GUO COMPETES DURING THE GIRLS 200-YARD INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY of the Class 6A Swimming and Diving State Championships on Saturday at Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka. Guo took third in the event.

“I’m so happy because this is my last meet ever,” Sirimongkhon-Dyck said.

“I’m glad I got to do it with my team and just end it off right.”

Sirimongkhon-Dyck’s victory helped the Firebirds to second place in the team standings with 289 points, 97 points behind champion Shawnee Mission East. It’s the fourth straight year the Firebirds have finished in the top two at state after winning a state title last season.

Lawrence High’s girls swimming and diving team took fifth place with 163 points, the school’s best finish at state since placing fourth in 1999.

Sirimongkhon-Dyck, who finished third in the 100 free, had a goal all season to break 24 seconds in the 50 free. She did it at the Sunflower League meet two weeks ago and topped it Saturday.

She showed off that same speed in the final leg of the 200 medley relay, nearly catching SM East in a runner-up finish by 0.25 seconds.

“That was so fun to watch,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said.

“She changed her start.

Every time, she’s the first one off the blocks and I think that speed really just took it out.”

Free State senior Cierra Campbell, signed to swim at Indiana State, finished runner-up in the 500 free and was third in the 200 free.

Sirimongkhon-Dyck and Campbell, along with Simone Herlihy and Piper Rogers, helped the Firebirds finish second in the 200 free relay.

“I feel like I could’ve gone faster,” Campbell said. “I’m proud of everyone else. Them swimming fast makes me happy.”

Last year, Rogers missed qualifying for the championship heat of the 100 fly by 0.05 seconds.

She made up for lost time, finishing sixth in the 100 fly and fifth in the 50 free, back-to-back events sandwiched around a short break.

“I was really proud

you’ve got great players on your team you’ve got to make sure everybody does well. You’ve got to be a true point guard out there.”

Young, who is the son of former Texas Tech standout Rayford Young, is considering KU, Kentucky, Duke, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and others.

He’s added Washington to his list because his good buddy Porter’s dad, Michael Sr., recently was named an assistant on Lorenzo Romar’s Huskies staff.

“I like coach Self. I like Lawrence. I like this university,” Young said.

FREE STATE SWIMMER SYDNEY SIRIMONGKHON-DYCK COMPETES IN THE 100-YARD FREESTYLE of the Class 6A Swimming and Diving State Championships on Saturday at Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka. Sirimongkhon-Dyck took first in the 50-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard freestyle as well as swimming on the Firebirds’ second-place 200-yard medley relay. how I was able to hold it together, even though I had just come off another race,” Rogers said. “I was very happy about that and in the relay, I actually had a faster split than what I swam in prelims (Friday).

I was very happy with my times.”

Cormaney added a fourth-place finish in the 100 breast and took sixth in the 500 free. In the final event of the meet, Cormaney combined with Campbell, Herlihy and Janet Stefanov for third place in the 400 free relay.

Senior Anna McCurdy, who will swim at the University of Maine, was sixth in the 200 individual medley and eighth in the 500 free.

“It’s really hard to come back and be stronger the second day, and we did on most of our events,” McDonald said.

“I’m really pleased with the girls.”

The Lions were led by freshman Emily Guo, who placed third in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke. Freshman

Morgan Jones followed by taking third in the 500 freestyle and sixth in the 200 freestyle.

Jones dropped a lot of time at the league meet and continued to drop time at state.

“It was really surprising. I just felt good,” Jones said. “I guess I was just really pumped for this meet. A lot of people cheering and stuff. It was just really exciting.”

The Lions were fifth in the 200 medley relay — freshmen Guo, Maddie Dean and Jamie Abernathy, and junior Mary Reed-Weston — and were fifth in the 400 free relay, replacing Abernathy with Jones.

With mostly freshmen, the Lions had their best performance at state in 17 years.

“You never know what’s going to happen,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “Maybe they didn’t know enough to get nervous about it. We lost all of our scorers (from last year) but one, so this is really good.”

esty, not taking the bait when a reporter asked him if he reminded himself of Golden State’s Steph Curry. Young hit two threes Saturday, one from downtown.

“I’m not there yet,” Young said. “I’m working to be at that level, hopefully to be as good as him, even better.”

In that quest, he noted that he works on “karate, yoga, eating right to keep my body right.”

Porter, meanwhile, hit a pair of threes from the corner and finished an assortment of vicious dunks. He ran the floor well and appears to have great court vision. In other words, like Young the real deal.

He’s ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com and Young No. 13.

“I think my versatil-

ity, the fact I’m trying to make the game as easy as possible,” Porter said of reasons for his success.

“I try to not over-dribble.

I try to take what the defense gives me. That helps a lot.”

He said: “I just try to play an all-around game.

I like Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Gay, big wings like that. At the end of the day I’m my own player and trying to do my own thing.”

A polite person known for exuding no attitude in interviews, Porter said “It’s definitely going to be a big move going out there (to Washington for senior season). But it’s not a lock I’ll go to Washington. I’m considering other schools on my list (including KU, Kentucky, Duke, UCLA, Missouri, Stanford and others).”

Former Kansas University basketball guard Brannen Greene, who has been based in White Plains, N.Y., the past six weeks as he trains for the 2016 NBA Draft, barely escaped a blazing car accident late Friday night in N.Y., and survived the ordeal with what appear to be only minor injuries, his dad, Jeffrey, said Saturday.

“Brannen was trapped inside a car as a (ridesharing service) passenger following an accident at Major Deegan Expressway, Bronx, N.Y., and 233rd St., after arriving from Los Angeles where he had NBA team workouts,” Jeffrey said. “The car was struck from behind with so much force it immediately went airborne, came down on a guardrail (with Brannen in back seat), went airborne again and caught fire. It exploded no more than five seconds after he escaped through an opening in a shattered window,” Jeff added.

The driver in the front seat apparently was not injured seriously, though Jeffrey Greene said at least one person in the car that rear-ended the car Greene was riding in was apparently injured.

“Everything in the car — his phone, his computer, his luggage was burned and destroyed.

The police said Brannen should not have survived.

He walked away from it with a terrible headache, all-over body aches but for the most part he’s just dealing with mental trauma,” Jeff Greene said.

“To think he survived this … he said when the car got hit he felt like he was asleep, dreaming.

He said, ‘I could see all this fire and I was getting hot.’ He said, ‘I’ve got to get out. I couldn’t get out.

I couldn’t find my seatbelt and the wraps. I got scared. I finally hit it and the seat belt came loose.

I jumped out the window and started running. Five

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PLAYER BRANNEN GREENE escaped serious injury when the car he was riding in exploded in the Bronx, N.Y. Friday night.

“

To think they said five seconds after he climbed out of a window the car exploded … I could have gotten that call, ‘Mr. Greene can you and your family get to New York now?’

Knowing I’d have lost a kid for life. I started crying just thinking about it.”

— Jeffrey Greene commenting on the aftermath of his son, Brannen’s, automobile accident in the Bronx, N.Y., Friday evening seconds later it sounded like a bomb (with car engulfed in flames).’

“He got up and walked to the Sprint store today (after getting ride back to his condo and a long night’s sleep) because he had no way of reaching anybody. He has no broken bones. He’s extremely lucky,” Jeff added.

Jeff Greene said Brannen did not go to the hospital immediately after the accident. He said he felt well enough to merely hitch a ride to his condo.

“The policeman that drove him was a basketball fan. He said, ‘Aren’t you that kid who plays for Kansas? Are you Brannen Greene?’” Jeff Greene

said. “He said, ‘Yes sir.’

The policeman gave him a ride and told him he was lucky to be alive.”

Greene at his dad’s urging did go to the hospital on Saturday night to get examined. “He has checked out OK,” Jeff said. “Nothing’s broken.

He doesn’t even want any pain meds. He’s back in his condo resting now.

“He told me, ‘Dad, I don’t care about belongings. I don’t care about the NBA practice jerseys I got (that burned). Dad I’m alive and I swear I’m not supposed to be here. I knew I was dead,’’’ Jeffrey related.

“To think they said five seconds after he climbed out of a window the car exploded … I could have gotten that call, ‘Mr. Greene can you and your family get to New York now?’ Knowing I’d have lost a kid for life. I started crying just thinking about it.”

Greene, a 6-8 guard from Juliette, Ga., recently completed his junior year at KU and declared for the NBA Draft. He’s considered a likely candidate to receive a free agent tryout and play for an NBA summer league team. The J-W attempted Saturday to acquire details of the accident from the Officer of the Deputy Commissioner Public Information, but has not received a response.

Report: CSU RB transferring to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas University football program may be adding a new toy to its crew of running backs in the near future.

According to a report from KWCH television station in Wichita, Deron Thompson, a sophomore from Colorado State University, has decided to transfer to KU, per information from his father.

Thompson, a 5-foot-10, 178-pound tailback from Northwest High in Wichita, decided to leave the CSU program in March after frustration over playing time.

“Nothing against (CSU) coach (Mike) Bobo or anything, I like him, I just felt like I nev-

er got the opportunity I deserved,” Thompson told The Coloradoan in March. “I only had seven carries this season and they were basically all in one game. Every day in practice, I showed I deserved to play and needed to play. It just didn’t seem like it was ever a priority to get me on the field. I never was late to meetings, never was in trouble, never failed a drug test. I did everything I was asked and felt I was as good as anyone else out there.”

During his two seasons at CSU, Thompson rushed for just 135 yards on 30 carries. He played in two games as a true freshman and just two more during the 2016 season.

Initially recruited in the 2014 prep class, Thompson was a threestar recruit according to Rivals.com and ranked as the No. 10 player in Kansas by 247Sports. He rushed for 3,620 yards and 46 touchdowns during his high school career and had offers from Minnesota, Kansas State, Western Michigan and Army.

Nothing has been made official and the March report from The Coloradoan indicated that Thompson was looking into several schools.

Regardless of where he winds up, Thompson will have to sit out the 2016 season and will move forward with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

OSU ends Kansas baseball season J-W Staff Reports

Stillwater, Okla.

— Junior reliever Stephen Villines matched a career-high six innings pitched, as the Kansas University baseball team fell to No. 12 Oklahoma State, 8-1, Saturday.

Villines gave the Jayhawks (20-35-1, 6-17 Big 12) one of the best performances of his career through the first five innings of relief retiring 14 of the 15 Cowboys he faced until the eighth inning. Oklahoma State used a little Senior Day magic to score three runs off Villines and end his bid at a perfect six frames.

“He has had a great year, he has been very special,” head coach Ritch Price said. “You have to be a baseball player to understand how hard his job is and then to extend him more than one inning like we have had to do the last few times he has pitched, makes his job even harder. He is a special young man.”

Price had to call to his ace arm out of the bullpen after Kansas starter sophomore lefty Blake Weiman (2-7) got knocked around for five runs in one-plus innings. The southpaw couldn’t register an out in the second and exited the game after

giving up a two-run home run. Freshman Zack Leban bridged the gap to Villines in the second with a 14-pitch performance to limit the damage to that home run.

Three Oklahoma State pitchers held the Jayhawks to one hit, a second-inning triple by Colby Wright.

The series loss eliminated Kansas from the Big 12 Championship, as the top-eight teams in the conference qualify.

Kansas 010 000 000 — 1 1 0 Oklahoma State 320 000 03x — 8 9 0 W — Garrett Williams, 2-0. L — Blake Weiman, 2-7.

National League Cardinals 6, Diamondbacks 2 St. Louis — Jedd Gyorko, Matt Adams and Yadier Molina homered, Mike Leake pitched seven scoreless innings, and St. Louis beat Arizona on Saturday.

Leake (3-3) retired eight straight between the second and fourth innings and battled back from a 3-0 count to strike out Chris Owings in the fifth to help thwart the Diamondbacks’ best scoring opportunity against him.

It was Leake’s third straight win and first at home since signing with the Cardinals as a free agent this offseason. During that span, Leake has a 0.85 ERA. Leake even showed off at the plate with a double to left in the sixth. The righty also made a nice barehanded play to throw out Rickie Weeks Jr. at first in the seventh.

Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray (2-3) battled through five innings but took the loss.

Rockies 5, Pirates 1 Pittsburgh — Christian Adames’ first career homer capped a four-run ninth inning as Colorado rallied to beat closer Mark Melancon and the Pirates, ending its eight-game losing streak against Pittsburgh.

Adames’ two-run shot to straightaway center field came after Tony Wolters singled off Melancon (0-1) to snap a 1-1 tie, and another run scored on first baseman John Jaso’s error. Melancon came on to start the ninth and was charged with three unearned runs.

Braves 2, Phillies 0 Philadelphia — Williams Perez took a twohitter into the seventh, helping Atlanta beat Philadelphia for just its second series win this season.

Marlins 3, Nationals 2 Miami — Jose Fernandez pitched six innings and then led the dugout celebration as Miami made him a winner again at Marlins Park.

Fernandez (6-2) allowed one run, struck out nine and improved to 21-1 in 31 starts at home.

When Justin Bour put Miami ahead to stay with a two-run homer in the sixth, Fernandez leaped onto the dugout ledge, pounded the railing and hopping happily as he screamed.

SCOREBOARD KC keeps ChiSox cool Chicago (ap) — The Kansas City Royals hit the field with their starter on a 60-pitch limit and two key relievers unavailable because of overwork.

All they did was win a pitcher’s duel.

Lorenzo Cain hit a solo home run and five pitchers combined to allow seven hits in a 2-1 victory over the slumping Chicago White Sox on Saturday.

Danny Duffy and Peter Moylan combined for six scoreless innings. Joakim Soria (2-1) worked out of a seventh-inning jam and Wade Davis pitched a hitless ninth for his 11th save in Kansas City’s second straight win over the AL Central leaders.

“We win on pitching and defense and this was another good example of it,” manager Ned Yost said.

Cain’s leadoff shot to center in the sixth off Miguel Gonzalez (0-1) made it 2-0 after Eric Hosmer’s first-inning sacrifice fly.

Gonzalez allowed six hits, struck out eight and didn’t walk a hitter over six innings in his third start since being called up from Triple-A. But he got no help from an offense that’s frustrated. Chicago has lost eight of 10.

“It’s our first real kind of test in the division and the Royals are doing their job and we basically are not,” Chicago third baseman Todd Frazier said.

The Royals won for the sixth time in eight games despite needing bullpen help with Duffy on a pitch limit. He allowed four hits in 41⁄3 innings, throwing 63 pitches.

“I try to be available when my team calls upon me to do something.

That’s what’s happened the past two outings,” Duffy said on being converted back to a starter.

“It doesn’t really feel weird. It’s not really as much of a task when you’ve got the defense that you do behind you and the bullpen behind you,” he said.

Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas, activated off the disabled list after missing more than two weeks with a left thumb injury, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts and misplayed a bunt to load the bases with nobody out in the seventh.

Soria replaced Brian Flynn and induced slumping Jose Abreu’s double play grounder to end Chicago’s 13-inning scoreless streak. Soria then got Frazier to ground to third before working a perfect eighth in his first two-inning stint since 2011.

KANSAS CITY’S LORENZO CAIN IS DOUSED WITH CUPS OF WATER by Salvador Perez after the Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1 Saturday in Chicago.

Yost said “under no circumstances” would he use Luke Hochevar or Kelvin Herrera. Hochevar had appeared in five of seven games and Herrera four of six.

“They let me know that I might go one-plus, but I didn’t know two innings,” Soria said. “I felt good and I was hitting my spots.”

Not even more lineup tinkering by manager Robin Ventura could get the White Sox out of their offensive funk.

Jerry Sands played first base and hit cleanup, with Melky Cabrera moved to fifth and barely missed a home run with a fourthinning double off the wall. Abreu hit second for the second straight day and was the DH and Tyler Saladino was again at shortstop in place of struggling Jimmy Rollins.

Rollins struck out pinch-hitting for Sands in the eighth for Chicago, which has scored four runs in three games.

Ventura said he sees players pressing, including Abreu before his double play.

“You could see it as far

Exaggerator the second choice at 5-2. But this day was all Exaggerator — no kidding.

The 3-year-old son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin trailed by 13 lengths at one point but kept gaining ground along the rail. Desormeaux saw an opening around the final turn, angled outside and Exaggerator took over.

“I was actually trying to slow him down, asking him to wait,” Desormeaux said. “And he just blew up and felt like King Kong. And when I pitched him out, he did what he can do. He exploded.”

Stradivari was fourth, followed by Lani, Laoban, Uncle Lino, Fellowship, Awesome Speed, Collected and Abiding Star.

Exaggerator, the 5-2 second choice, returned $7.20, $3.20 and $2.40.

Nyquist broke well under Mario Gutierrez, and he and 34-1 long shot Uncle Lino went back and forth on the lead. The duel was costly. When asked for his usual winning burst, the son of Uncle Mo just didn’t have it for the first time in his career.

gerator and Team Desormeaux. What a great run,” Nyquist’s trainer Doug O’Neill said.

“I didn’t think we could get beat, to be honest with you.”

Trained by Kent’s younger brother, Keith, Exaggerator showed his talent in the slop once again. He won the Santa Anita Derby over a sloppy track. It was the first Preakness winner for the trainer who also began his career in Maryland, and third for the Hall of Fame rider.

Last year, American Pharoah became the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, and there were many who thought Nyquist would make it two in a row and become the 13th horse to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont.

Exaggerator earned $900,000 for the win, improving his career bankroll to $2,971,120.

The powerfully built bay colt has won five of 11 starts, with three runner-finishes. He was beaten by Nyquist twice last year — in the debut

race for each last June, and then in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. In the 3-year old debuts for each, it was Nyquist by 11⁄2 lengths in the San Vicente.

“I did what I could to get him happy and fresh and strong. I’ve always said he’s had a great ability to recover and he showed it today,” Keith Desormeaux said The Desormeaux brothers have different personalities, and seem to enjoy ribbing each other. There were no family hugs, and no special celebrations.

“I looked at him and he looked at me, and I got a fist pump,” Kent said.

“That’s all we did.”

A drenched record crowd of 135,256 saw Exaggerator end his losing streak in a big way.

“It wasn’t like we felt we could grind him down,” Keith said. “We always felt we had an exceptional talent.”

And now, it’s on to the Belmont Stakes for Exaggerator.

“We can’t wait to run in that race,” Keith said.

Trainer’s room Royals: To make room for Moustakas, Cheslor Cuthbert was optioned to Triple-A Omaha, where Yost said he’ll play second and third. “Did he deserve to go down?

No,” Yost said. “There’s just not a spot for him.” ... Yost said needing to stretch out Duffy while he was in the rotation is why they elected to keep 13 pitchers.

White Sox: RHP Jake Petricka (hip) is not ready to come off the disabled list. “He still feels a little something there,” Ventura said.

Two horses die at Pimlico Baltimore (ap) — Ten years after Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro tragically broke down at the start of the Preakness, the owners of the popular colt watched another horse they bred die during a race on a rainy Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.

In a tragic start to Preakness day, Gretchen and Roy Jackson’s 4-yearold filly Pramedya broke down during the fourth race on the Preakness undercard, and was euthanized on the track. The filly’s jockey, Daniel Centeno, broke his collarbone in the spill that occurred

on the turn of a race run over a wet turf course.

“It’s ironic, right?” Roy Jackson told The Associated Press. “It was tough to watch.”

In the opening race of day, Homeboykris collapsed and died after winning and having his picture taken in the winner’s circle. Pimlico officials believe the 9-year-old gelding suffered cardiovascular collapse. The horse was being taken to New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania for an autopsy — the same animal hospital Barbaro was taken to after his breakdown.

Racing officials said Pramedya broke her left front cannon bone.

In an eerie coincidence, the fourth race was won

by Truly Together, trained

by Michael Matz, who was Barbaro’s trainer.

In 2006, Barbaro shattered bones in his right hind leg just after the start of the Preakness, survived surgery but developed laminitis and was euthanized in January, 2007.

Homeboykris won the Champagne Stakes in 2009, and a year later finished 16th in the Kentucky Derby.

COMIC RELIEF Barry Crimmins on humor and life after ‘Call Me Lucky’

By Joanna Hlavacek

B

l

arry Crimmins won over audiences at last year’s Free State Festival, where the veteran stand-up comedian, political satirist and activist joined director and comic Bobcat Goldthwait for a screening of “Call Me Lucky.” Goldthwait’s critically acclaimed documentary chronicles Crimmins’ story of survival, from his brutal rape as a boy growing up in upstate New York to his later advocacy against child sex abuse and online child pornography.

The film also serves as a “testament” of sorts, Crimmins says, to the relationships he’s forged with fellow comedians over the years, as a peer and as an owner of the legendary Ding Ho and Stitches comedy clubs in Boston.

Among the many nowfamous funny people on his “Thank God I was nice to that kid” list: Louis C.K. The superstar’s production company, Pig Newton, is set to produce Crimmins’ one-hour

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna comedy special, for which Crimmins will return to the Lawrence Arts Center stage June 4.

Lawrence has treated him well over the years, and the comedy special (Crimmins has opted to keep prices low, at $10 for general admission) is his “thank you” to the many friends he’s made here — “It’s my way of saying, ‘I think your town’s the greatest.’ I mean, I just do,” he says. “I really do.”

In advance of the big night, Crimmins chatted with the Journal-World about “Call Me Lucky,” political correctness, the state of comedy today and way, way more insightful and provocative stuff than we could include here.

Q: A:

What’s life been like since “Call Me Lucky” came out?

It’s been very busy.

I’ve been on the road a lot, doing a lot of smaller dates to get my act together, because I spent almost two years on the movie before that. And

“People who use the term ‘political correctness’ all the time tend to be some of the biggest censors, even though they’re allegedly fighting for free speech.”

— Barry Crimmins, comic in particular since “Call Me Lucky” hit Netflix, I spend a lot of time just sorting through mail and communications from abuse survivors who felt like, I guess, from watching the movie, that I was someone they could talk to. That takes up a chunk of every day. For the first several months (the movie) was on Netflix, it was a big chunk of every day. That’s now quieted down a bit, but it’s still a daily obligation I make every effort to try to keep up on.

Q:

Was that a surprise to you, to get that huge influx of messages from survivors?

A:

No, because I’ve been public for almost a quarter century now. I wrote about this in the Boston Phoenix years ago and from that point on. I did the work exposing the child pornography trafficking on AOL, and that kept me in the public eye. I would continue to comment on things, including particularly the scandals of the Catholic Church.

I don’t have scientific information about child abuse, but I have an incredible wealth of anecdotal information because I feel like everybody tells me everything, you know? I’m used to it. I knew before we did the movie that this would happen, but it still became even overwhelming

for me. It just adds up. You add up five or six really tough stories in a row, and you get a little weary. But then when you hear from people you spoke to a couple weeks ago, and they’re gaining ground and doing well, you get a little shot in the arm. It’s two steps forward and one step back sometimes, but I’ve gotten better also with finding other resources for people and trying not to handle everything myself. But if anybody writes me, I really do try to get back to them.

Q:

Do you think we as a society have a problem verbalizing the word “rape” and what constitutes it?

A:

Sure, we do. We really need to call rape “rape.” We really need to describe what it is and we really need to be able to live with that.

People who use the term “political correctness” all the time tend to be some of the biggest censors, even though they’re allegedly fighting for free speech. As Mark Twain said, “Use the right word, not its second cousin.”

MOVIE REVIEW

Lazy ‘Neighbors 2’ keeps original’s bad habits

By Rick Bentley Associated Press

Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien’s lazy script for the 2014 comedy “Neighbors” fell apart because there were plot holes big enough to sink a university. They appeared to have remedied that gaff with the sequel, “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” only to return to their lazy tendencies, making the project flunk out.

Initial ideas about empowering young women, the importance of feeling wanted and the wisdom that comes with age are replaced by a series of crude jokes. The most disturbing is how the young women start off as strong warriors, but when faced with a challenge, resort

Crimmins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Q:

You remarked in the documentary that a lot of these people who pride themselves on being politically incorrect regard themselves as cutting-edge rebels, but really they’re just reinforcing the “oppressive status quo.”

A:

Well, that’s it.

You’re this brave, cutting-edge rebel, and all you’re doing is what’s most convenient for yourself and your narrow view of things. I’m in the comedy business, and I’ll talk about this in the show, but it’s the guys who say, “The world used to be 99 percent based around people like me. Now it’s only 97 percent based around people like me. What’s up with that?” They lose a little tiny bit of work over it, and they’re all upset. I’ve been losing work for decades because of how I speak. I’m not calling myself a martyr over it, but I’m just saying that if their soap pollutes the river, they’re probably not going to let me stand on their soapbox.

Q: A:

comedy?

What are your thoughts on the current state of

When I got into it, there weren’t very many comedians. I don’t know if there were 100 comedians when I got into it in the early ’70s. I mean, there are far more comedians in Lawrence than there were in the United States when I started doing comedy.

When I was a kid, we all wanted to be rock ’n’ roll stars, but it turns out you had to be able to do something. Well, there’s not that kind of a threshold for comedy. You just need to be able to think you can do something.

I think there’s a problem in comedy right now, in that there are so many people calling themselves comedians that they’re really creating this sort of enormous mountain for the people with some real talent and making it much harder for the people with real talent to be seen and get stage time. There’s really good young comics who are getting buried in this, and that’s who I’m most concerned about.

These kids go out and do open mic nights, so they have two minutes. When you’re putting your act together two minutes at a time, it’s going to look like a ransom note.

In a way, it’s this huge vindication for those of us who got into it a while back and really sort of made it into something that other people wanted to do. On the other hand, it’s created a real economic crisis for the workers, because basically, everybody’s a scab. There’s a million people waiting to do what you do. It’s like Syria’s taking in comics now. It’s a refugee crisis.

Where to watch

CARLA GALLO, ROSE BYRNE, SETH ROGEN, IKE BARINHOLTZ AND ZAC EFRON look out the window in a scene from “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.”

Catch “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” at the Regal Southwind Stadium 12, 3433 Iowa St. to their sexuality as a means to solve a problem. Or, they need support from someone older when they can’t figure out what to do.

The first “Neighbors” was nothing more than a married couple of idiots (Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne) doing battle with obnoxious fraternity brothers under the command of Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron), a college senior with a Peter Pan complex.

Universal Pictures via AP

This second attempt picks up with the couple trying to sell their house. Their escrow period is in jeopardy when a sorority moves in next door.

The young women want to start their own sorority and host parties. They think it’s unfair

“We all go through some things, but the idea that (pain is) necessary to comedy ... You could do the same (thing) with insurance salespeople and say, ‘Well, it turns out every insurance salesperson has been through some crap, which explains why they screwed you out of that annuity.’”

that only fraternities are allowed to host such events. This is the first example of the writers doing whatever they need to move the story ahead. There is no actual law about sorority parties, but it is something that is not condoned by the national

organization that governs the top sororities.

But, the plot must go on.

This sets up a battle between the sorority and the couple that sinks to the same kind of juvenile actions that were featured in the first film. The writers give up on any idea that the actions of the young women are motivated by a higher calling and fall back on absurd ideas in a lame effort to generate jokes.

For one brief moment, “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” looked like it had graduated into a better and more coherent brand of humor. That ends quickly and this sequel proves as unlikable as the original.

This is one “Sorority” from which you will want to rush away.

Friend should forgive woman who got her sick Dear Annie: I recently attended a large social event fundraiser with some close friends. We were seated at tables of 10, and finger food was passed around.

One of the women sitting at my table (‘’Claudia’’) said she couldn’t eat much because she hadn’t been feeling well. There were no outward signs of a cold or other communicable disease, so we just assumed she had a mild stomach upset. Two days later, Claudia notified us that she couldn’t make a meeting, because she had become much worse and was extremely sick.

Three days after the social event, five of the 10 women at the table came down with a flulike illness that included severe chest con-

well-being of others.

I feel this is a little harsh, since Claudia displayed no obvious signs of illness on the actual day.

Comic book action galore on ‘Preacher’ A pitch-black comedy riddled with violence, “Preacher” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-MA) showcases all of the possibilities and shortcomings of the comic book genre.

Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) is a preacher in a sad and hopeless Texas town -- and a terrible preacher, at that. He’s returned to assume his father’s pulpit after spending his youth pulling heists with his former girlfriend and accomplice, Tulip (Ruth Negga).

She’s a firecracker. A show about Tulip I might watch.

Custer is seized by some cosmic communication that may or may not be linked to the forces that sent a demonic entity to Earth in the form of a shapeshifting Irish vagabond named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), who speaks in an unintelligible brogue. Elsewhere around the globe, preachers, priests and ministers of all persuasions are exploding before their congregations, blowing blood and guts everywhere.

Blood and guts is very much the theme here. For every scene of character development and exposition, there appear to be two of pointlessly violent mayhem. As a result, the hourlong pilot seems much, much longer.

“Preacher” may be fun for those who find Quentin Tarantino movies too subtle. It falls into the narrative pothole that consumes too many supernatural stories: When anything can happen, nothing much matters.

O The 2016 Billboard Music Awards (7 p.m., ABC) reach across a generational divide for their guest list. Perhaps fans of Justin Bieber can ask their mothers who the Go-Go’s are.

Or were.

Tonight’s season finales O Marge behind bars on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox, TVPG).

O Brian’s foreign affair on “Family Guy” (8 p.m., Fox, TV14).

O A not-so-peaceful weekend on the just-cancelled “Crowded” (8:30 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O On two helpings of “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox, TV-PG), Tina volunteers (7:30 p.m.), journalistic scrutiny (8:30 p.m.).

Tonight’s other highlights

O On two helpings of “60

Minutes” (CBS), a trusted White House adviser, insider trading, art fraud (6 p.m.); Mexico’s endangered vaquita, a National Guard recruiting scandal, freed after 30 years on death row (7 p.m.).

O A house of blue lights on “The Carmichael Show” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O Richard unravels during an interview on “Silicon Valley” (9 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

O A White House Thanksgiving on “Veep” (9:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

up, or had she been coughing and sneezing all over the finger food, she should have excused herself and gone home, but that doesn’t seem to have been the case.

And it’s also possible that Claudia wasn’t the source of the illness at all. Perhaps one of the food handlers was sick. These things happen. We think Claudia should be forgiven.

Simple, skillful stories fill bizarre graphic novel

W

e’ve all heard the cautionary advice, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” And sure, there’s a lot of truth to that. On the other hand — being judged is totally what book covers are for.

My resistance to this old adage has been validated time and again by impulse checkouts that turn out to be awesome, the most recent example being Malachi Ward’s graphic novel “From Now On.” When I dove in, I had no idea what to expect; I just knew things were going to get weird. “From Now On” does not disappoint, with stories dealing with bizarre alien worlds and the peculiarities of time travel. The 13 vignettes stand alone as brief glimpses into future worlds, replete with imaginative technology and creatures like lime green aliens that appear to be half-

mole, halfelephant.

Despite the strangeness, though, Ward manages to evoke a deeplyhuman and reflective mood.

Flipping through the stories of lonely, hopeful space colonists made me feel like I was reading the sparse, blue-collar oriented short stories of Raymond Carver, or the succinct and wistful comics of Adrian Tomine. The science fiction elements are posed skillfully against the emotions of the

characters — Ward offers only minimal worldbuilding to let the heart of each story shine.

“Top Five” follows the daily work of a lone explorer. While carrying out his labor — menial tasks that are never explained to the reader — he thinks about the five best “Star Trek” episodes that feature time travel. That’s it. Though it may seem insignificant or uneventful, “Top Five” is actually a well-crafted portrait of regret,

BOOK REVIEW

Associated Press

as her New England community succumbs to the explosive threat. She tries to help the sick at the hospital. Then she discovers she’s pregnant and infected and finds herself fighting for her life against her husband, who prefers the relative peace of a double suicide to living in a terrifying new world.

Harper escapes with the help of a shadowy, smoldering (quite literally) figure who calls himself The Fireman, who introduces her to a group of the infected hiding out at a summer camp.

But religious fanaticism begins to pervade the enclave, and a homicidal madman who calls himself the Marlboro Man is scouring the countryside with his crews, searching for the sick and murdering them.

Hill is dealing here with the end of the world as we know it, but the book also displays an insouciant sense of humor, an affection for pop culture, especially music, and an admiration for human resilience, something Hill believes must exist in any
