An unknown number of animals died Monday in a fire at a Lawrence pet store.

Lawrence emergency crews responded to fire and heavy smoke at Pet World, 711 W. 23rd St., at about 12:30 p.m. The store was filled with smoke for about 30 minutes before firefighters began removing some animals from the building, located in the Malls Shopping Center.

Several veterinarians and a large crowd of bystanders gathered in the parking lot to offer assistance.

Rescue workers brought out 20 to 30 tarantulas, many fish, a large python and other reptiles. In addition, some feeder rats, a few hamsters and gerbils stored in a separate structure were alive.

Other animals died in the fire, LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree said. Co-owner Sherry Emerson, who opened the store 27 years ago, said “no mammals or birds survived.”

The store had been boarding small animals at the time of the fire, Emerson said.

She had not had a chance to call the pet owners as of Monday evening.

Emerson said she was unsure how many total animals survived, but that the store’s locally famous

When the Interfraternity Council at Purdue University in Indiana voted to ban all hard liquor from fraternity properties and chapter events this year, Purdue IFC President Matt KANSAS Gebbie said the reaction from UNIVERSITY fraternity members was mixed.

“At first we saw some pushback and some unhappy members,” Gebbie said.

But after the policy was implemented in March and members “saw the positive effects of the change and the reasons behind

Donna Gene Webb Heaven gained a very precious angel, Donna Gene (Eaton) Webb, 89, on May 21, 2015 at her home in Vintage Park, Baldwin City, Kansas.

She died peacefully surrounded by family who cared and loved her deeply.

Donna was born in Ellsworth, Kansas on January 31, 1926 the daughter of Rae A. and Edith Mae (Querrey) Eaton.

As a child she attended school in Colorado and Kansas.

She moved to Baldwin in 1937.

She graduated from Baldwin High in 1943. She started her college education at Missouri University until the war began and then worked for Hallmark Cards.

Donna was united in marriage to Fred L. Webb on August 17, 1946 . They shared over 60 years together until his death on February 26, 2007.

After the war Donna helped put Fred through school and to raise their two children. In 1970 she completed her degree in education at Baker University. Donna taught First Grade for 13 years at Baldwin Elementary School and was an influence in many young children’s lives.

it,” Gebbie said the university’s greek community “began to take it more positively.”

Kansas University’s IFC followed Purdue’s lead this month, banning hard liquor from fraternity houses beginning this fall. Some say implementing hard-liquor bans will be effective. Others say liquor-specific prohibitions don’t go far enough.

‘Critical issues’ Purdue IFC’s ban followed an alleged rape at the Acacia fraternity involving an underage fraternity member who said he and the victim had been drinking that night at a fraternity party, according to the Lafayette Journal and Courier. KU’s ban came at the end of a school year during which the Kappa Sigma fraternity chapter was placed on a two-year probation following reports of sexual assault at the house over homecoming weekend in September.

Since passing the ban on hard liquor, Gebbie said, the Purdue council has seen a “huge decrease” in the number of alcohol violations and “incidents.”

“This was important for Purdue IFC because as a council, one of our main priorities is the safety of our members,” Gebbie said.

“We felt that this was a big step toward making our community safer.”

A statement from KU’s IFC said the hard-liquor ban addresses “three critical issues — alcohol abuse, cultural competence and sexual violence — in light of incidents involving greek life at both a national and local level.”

Gebbie said he thinks that time will prove hardliquor bans at fraternities are successful, and more Fraternities ‘not colleges across the country just a social outlet’ Two KU IFC fraterniwill take similar actions. ties, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Policy change ‘a start’ and Phi Delta Theta, alKU’s Watkins Health ready prohibit all alcohol,

Services health educator Jenny McKee said while the hard-liquor ban “is a start,” other alcohol can be dangerous, too.

“There is a possibility that individuals may not consume as much alcohol as they would have been able to do previously given the ‘filling’ effect beer can have,” McKee said. “However, an individual can also experience alcohol poisoning from drinking beer or wine exclusively.”

McKee said that while the KU ban “promotes abstinence of hard liquor,” an educational element regarding responsible ways to consume hard alcohol would be beneficial because “hard liquor will continue to exist outside the confines of the college campus.”

“Perhaps banning the use of hard liquor for spiked punches or simply taking shots in general may be more educational than an overarching ban,” McKee said. “One that would incite a culture shift that says, ‘When we drink hard liquor, we do it responsibly by measuring our shots and knowing what is in our drink instead of taking pulls out of a handle or getting a cup full of a mystery beverage.’”

McKee, who works to educate students on responsible drinking, said the real danger is with alcohol ignorance and people not knowing how many standard drinks — regardless of the type — they are consuming.

“Frequently, the drinks we are served, although they come in a singular vessel, are more than one standard drink,” McKee said. “Depending on whether the shot was actually measured, there could be one, two, or more drinks in that one glass. Novice drinkers are less likely to have this knowledge because lack of drinking experience.”

McKinley said. Investigators believe the crime occurred at or near a home in the 700 block of Arkansas Street, he said.

A home at 700 Arkansas St. was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape Monday. The tape extended north to a yard across the street, blocking westbound and eastbound traffic on Seventh Street.

Chris Chavez, who lives nearby, said he woke up to sirens around 6:10 a.m. Monday and went to his front porch.

Chavez said he saw a man slumped against a streetlight on the east side of the McDonald’s parking lot before medics arrived and loaded the man into an ambulance. Chavez said the man never moved.

Chavez and McKinley said that officers identified the home as the crime scene after following a blood trail from the McDonald’s leading to the residence. It appeared that the victim had run from the home to the restaurant.

Numbered evidence markers were strewn throughout the yard at 700 Arkansas St. Two evidence tags marked a pair of black sandals that appeared to have slipped off a person moving in a northeastern direction.

Nextdoor neighbor John Mumford said the owner of the home is a woman, but she was out of town for the Memorial Day weekend, he added. Mumford said a man, whom he believed to be the victim, was watching the home in the woman’s absence. Mumford said he saw the man on Sunday wearing the sandals that police had marked in the yard.

Rain Monday morning added an extra obstacle to the investigation.

Chavez and Mumford said it appeared that officers had used turnedover trashcans and plastic to attempt to preserve blood evidence in the area.

The property is registered to Sue B. Radcliffe, of Lawrence, according to the Douglas County Appraiser’s Office online records.

The home was the subject of a search warrant in October 2013, when then-23-year-old Hunter Radcliffe Wheeler was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges of distributing methamphetamine and criminal possession of a handgun. In 2014, Wheeler pleaded guilty to the charges.

Officers had discovered five grams of methamphetamine and various paraphernalia inside the home, along with a Glock 9mm handgun with a loaded magazine.

Wheeler had 87 grams of meth when he was ar-

Phi Delta Theta banned alcohol following the national fraternity’s 2000 decision to prohibit alcohol at all of its chapter houses.

Phi Delta Theta’s national fraternity associate executive vice president, Sean Wagner, said that since the organization’s alcohol prohibition, grade point average and membership rates have grown substantially. In 2000, the average Phi Delta Theta member’s GPA was 2.7, there were 175 chapters and about 8,500 collegiate members. In 2015, the average GPA is 3.1, there are 190 chapters and about 12,000 collegiate members.

“I think more people are attracted to it,” Wagner said. “(Chapter houses) are cleaner, safer and more conducive to academics, as shown in our GPA.” Wagner said the alcohol ban dramatically reduced alcohol-related problems at the fraternity, as evidenced by the fraternity’s liability insurance rate decrease in the 15 years since implementation.

“Liability insurance cost per member in 2000 was $160; today it’s $80,” Wagner said. “Insurance rates are reflective of the number of complaints.”

Since the ban, Phi Delta Theta’s liability claims have dropped more than 60 percent, Wagner said.

Notably, there are no current lawsuits against Phi Delta Theta.

“Alcohol is a risk on any college campus,” Wagner said. “We wanted to be better than that.

We are not just a social outlet, but a leadership organization.”

rested. McKinley said it is unclear whether the 2013 drug bust and the Monday homicide are related.

Around 5 p.m. Monday, forensic investigators searched a white SUV parked in front of the residence. Some items were collected from the vehicle, and a detective dusted the doors for fingerprints.

The stabbing would be Lawrence’s first homicide of 2015, the last being more than six months ago inside an apartment at 1727 W. 24th St. No arrests had been made as of Monday evening, and McKinley said a motive had not been identified.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 843TIPS (8477), McKinley said. Calls made to CrimeStoppers can be made anonymously. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered by CrimeStoppers for information leading to an arrest in this case.

State hospitals face staffing shortages Topeka (ap) — State hospitals in Kansas face persistent staffing shortages, and one facility recently posted a 40 percent staff vacancy rate, according to the agency that oversees the facilities.

Data provided this past week by the Kansas Department on Aging and Disability Services demonstrate continued staffing shortfalls at the state hospitals, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Osawatomie State Hospital has a nearly 40 percent staff vacancy rate, according to KDADS. The hospital, which is supposed to have 501 full-

time positions, currently has 189 of those positions vacant. Larned State Hospital should have 930 fulltime positions, but 322 of those are vacant, for a nearly 35 percent vacancy rate.

Vacancy rates for parttime workers are even higher. At Osawatomie, 34 of 61 part-time spots are vacant, a rate of 55 percent. At Larned, 50 part-time positions out of a total of 112 are vacant, for a 44 percent rate.

The Kansas Neurological Institute and Parsons State Hospital have less than 10 percent vacancy rates for full-time positions.

“

A lot of it has to do with the pay scale of state hospital workers. They are underfunded, they are underpaid for what they do because in many cases they’re in rather dangerous working environments.”

— Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka KDADS said the agency has taken serious steps to reduce the number of patients at the facility and that while there are vacancies, patients are receiving appropriate care.

KDADS spokeswoman Cara Sloan-Ramos said Larned and Osawatomie are both small communities and that recruiting

and retention of staff is a priority. She also said the number of psychiatrists nationwide has been declining.

“KDADS is very grateful for its longtime, hardworking, dedicated state hospital employees. In Larned, population approximately 6,000, the labor pool is small. Con-

versely, Topeka has a good job applicant pool.

Parsons has not had recruitment challenges.

KNI doesn’t have trouble getting applicants for vacant positions,” SloanRamos said.

Osawatomie is also searching for a human resources director and director of nursing, according to job postings on the KDADS website.

Postings for Larned show the hospital needs a chief financial officer, chief operations officer, clinical director and program director for its psychiatric treatment program.

years, and Kamb-Studdard said that a lot of the veterans buried nearby are his friends.

“He understood the challenges that some of the veterans faced before, during and after their service,” she said.

Nearby, Jerri Ahrens handed red roses cut from her backyard to her sons, Matthew and Blake, to place on the headstone of her uncle Jack D. Wisdom, a Vietnam veteran.

“Just pausing to remember them is important,” she said.

Ahrens and her sons visited the cemetery with her mother, Carol Mason, all of Eudora. Ahrens said she wanted her sons, ages 6 and 2, to understand the meaning of the holiday.

“To make sure they know that Memorial Day is a time of remembrance and not just a day off,” she said.

The Lawrence branch of the American Legion, Dorsey-Liberty Post 14, held its Memorial Day ceremony at 10 a.m. Monday at its facility, 3408 W. Sixth St. Originally planned for Oak Hill, the event was moved indoors because of pending weather conditions, according to the group’s website.

Kamb-Studdard said her husband looked forward to the celebration every year. As a chaplain, he gave the opening and closing prayers. The visit brings a lot to mind, she said.

“It’s memories of John and his devotion to the military and his belief in helping veterans,” KambStuddard said.

Also walking through the rows of flags and flowers were Meredith Alder and her three children.

Alder said her 7-year-old daughter, Autumn, asked her Monday morning what Memorial Day represented. After Alder explained it, her daughter asked if they could visit the cemetery.

Alder, who is originally from Idaho, said she doesn’t have any family buried at Oak Hill, but she wanted to teach her children the meaning of the day.

“I just think it’s important for our kids to understand the sacrifices (that have) been made by lots of people before them,” she said, “so that they have the freedoms and the rights that they have.”

overtime, likely contribute to the difficulty Kansas has in finding and keeping workers at its state hospitals, said Rebecca Proctor, director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, DTopeka, said staffing levels at the state hospitals is “a long-term travesty.”

“A lot of it has to do with the pay scale of state hospital workers,” he said. “They are underfunded, they are underpaid for what they do because in many cases they’re in rather dangerous working environments.”

Artist paints Swedish designs on woman’s casket

By Gary Demuth

A DIRECTORY STANDS AT THE ENTRANCE to Larned State Hospital, pictured here in November 2013. The hospital is home to the state’s program for treating violent sexual predators.

“

I like Swedish art and all the things they Salina — Barbara Joan put on Dala horses, so Apps doesn’t plan to die I thought it would look anytime soon, but she’s nice on a casket.�

Salina Journal

not taking any chances.

Although still in good health at age 83, the Topeka resident decided to purchase a casket in advance so she could have it decorated just the way she wanted it, the Salina Journal reported.

Apps’ maiden name is Sodergren and her roots are in Sweden, so when it finally comes time to shake off her mortal coil, she plans to meet her maker in a casket painted in a Swedish folk art style called Kurbits.

Kurbits painting is taken from the Book of Jonah in the Bible and derived from the name of a large plant with gourds, leaves and flowers that represents God’s blessing and protection. Kurbits is a Swedish floral figurative painting style mostly used for furniture, cupboard or shrine painting or for decorating wooden Dala horses. “I like Swedish art and all the things they put on Dala horses, so I thought it would look nice on a casket,� she said.

Apps said that might seem morbid to some, “But when my husband died, we were pretty rushed to decide what we wanted to have that would be symbolic of his life. That’s hard to plan in just a few days.

So I wanted to start planning a little earlier.�

The idea for creating a personalized casket actually came from Apps’ granddaughter, Kiersten Rothrock, who happens to be a funeral director and embalmer at PenwellGabel Funeral Home in Topeka. Rothrock said thinking about people’s funerals, even family members’, is a hazard of her profession.

Rothrock said her grandmother is a woman of simple tastes whose parents came from Sweden, who loves her Swedish heritage and whose home is decorated in Swedish artwork. So why not have her casket decorated in a traditional Swedish Kurbits design? “I wanted something that would make my grandmother’s funeral unique — not that she’s going anytime soon,� Rothrock said.

After Apps approved

said. In response to demographics showing that most participants are current full-time teachers, many are young parents and they often live outside Lawrence and are unable to attend all classes on campus, one program is totally online and the other is “blended,� with about 75 percent online and 25 percent in class.

Novak said Jayhawkville helps add a face-to-face component of sorts to an otherwise largely isolated program.

It also combines theory and research with practical application.

— Barbara Joan Apps, Topeka resident her suggestion, Rothrock special-ordered an unfinished pine casket suitable for painting. She then searched for an artist with knowledge of the Kurbits style and found Lindsborg resident Carla Wilson.

Rothrock had previously worked with Wilson’s son Jamie and niece Jessica at the Outback Steakhouse in Topeka and knew that Wilson also was an accomplished Swedish folk painter familiar with the Kurbits style. “I used to be a tour guide in Sweden and saw a lot of Kurbits painting firsthand on furniture and walls,� said Wilson, who works in marketing at Scott’s Hometown Foods in Lindsborg.

Wilson said she was surprised at being contacted about painting a casket but was intrigued by the challenge. “I’ve never been asked to paint a casket before, so I was really excited,� she said. “I paint a lot of furniture, but this is my first casket.�

Apps said she looked at other Kurbits designs from Wilson’s previous work and selected different elements to use for her casket. “I’m not an artist and don’t know about art, but I picked what I liked the best,� Apps said.

With the pine casket stored in her home garage, Wilson designed and painted a pattern on the top and along the sides of the casket. Painted on the top is Apps’ name and birthdate: 21-7-1931. “In Sweden, you put the day, then the month, then the year,� Wilson said. “Whenever Barbara dies, they’ll call me, and I’ll paint on the death date.�

On the inside lid, Wilson painted the word “Gudsfred,� with a little Dala horse between “Guds� and “fred.� ‘‘Gudsfred� translates into English as “God’s peace.� “Where else would you want to have God’s blessing and protection if not on your casket?� she said.

“What we’re trying to do is to create that combination where the students learn, say, a module in effective leadership, and then they are pressed throughout that module to master the content,�

Novak said.

Here’s an example of how that works: In the class on how to be a principal, assignments involving “visits� to Jayhawkville cap every module.

In the module on school culture and climate, for example, students must visit Jayhawkville schools, meet their principals, then identify one exhibiting a positive leadership culture and one exhibiting a negative one in a reflective paper.

Like the real world, this isn’t always cut-and-dried.

Larned — Carlos Lively says he may be confined by the state of Kansas for the rest of his life, even though he completed a prison sentence for a sex offense nine years ago.

The 30-year-old is one of 258 patients committed indefinitely to an expanding treatment program that the state says keeps the public safe from violent sexual predators who would otherwise go free after serving jail time.

Only three patients have been released from the program since its inception in 1994, while 27 have died. A state audit report released in April found its costs were soaring as 10 to 15 patients per year are added, increasing concern that some offenders who could be safely released are being held because of flaws in the treatment regimen.

Lively was sentenced to 19 months in jail in 2004 for exposing himself to two younger family members when he was 18, according to court records. Rather than be released on probation, he was committed in 2005 to the sexual predator treatment program at Larned State Hospital, a complex on the prairie about 100 miles west of Wichita.

Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Department for Aging and Disability Services, which runs the program, said that few residents have been released from the program because they have all been convicted of multiple offenses and

His outgoing and friendly demeanor includes an “eye� for the opposite sex, and his third marriage is to a former student.

Novak worked with Everspring, the company KU has contracted with to develop online courses, to create Jayhawkville.

As he puts it, he and other educators provide content, knowledge and curriculum, and Everspring delivers it, with pictures, graphics, maps, interaction and links on the Jayhawkville website. “This is the only virtual

have been determined by a court to have severe mental abnormalities.

But Tapatha Strickler, who worked as a psychologist for the program from 2012 to 2014, said that “only a handful� of the 90 patients were dangerous and most could be discharged after proper treatment. Strickler said she resigned from the hospital because she felt the program was unethical and now works as a private-practice psychologist.

Lively and his parents, Eugene and Arlene Lively, said he was sexually abused when he was 8 years old and later spent time in juvenile lockup for sexually abusing a younger relative when he was 14. The Associated Press could not confirm this because juvenile records are sealed. “To the state, I am still the person I was when I was 14, and probably always will be,� said Carlos Lively, who was one of three residents who spoke with The Associated Press during an April visit.

Kansas City, Kan.based attorney Fred Zimmerman represented Lively in his 2005 civil commitment and said his offenses were “not

anything heinous.� Zimmerman said he arranged an expert to testify that Lively was a low risk to re-offend.

But he said such cases face an uphill fight, because juries and judges are presented with details of the offenders’ crimes and state psychological evaluations that argue the opposite.

Zimmerman said he quit working such cases after five years, mainly out of frustration with the extremely low success rate in getting clients to avoid commitment or to be released. “At some point I told a prosecutor, ‘You’d be doing them a better service if you just told them that they are getting a life sentence rather than let them dangle there hoping,’�

Zimmerman said.

The standard for release from the program is “virtually no risk� of reoffending, Secretary of Aging and Disability Services Kim Bruffet said at a hearing on the state audit report in April. None of the three offenders released from Kansas’ program have reoffended, de Rocha said.

After nine years at Larned State Hospital, Lively is in phase two of the seven-phase program.

learning tool of its kind,�

Rick Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education, said in a news release from KU. “The innovative technology that we offer our online students provides access to the ever-evolving nature of today’s school district.�

Jayhawkville will be integrated into all KU education master’s degree courses offered online, including global research and school law, according to KU. In the future, it will expand to include the special education graduate program.

Novak retired in 2010 as principal of Mill Valley High School in Shawnee.

He said he drew from decades of experience in education — including familiarity with the Kansas City metropolitan and

Johnson County areas — to create Jayhawkville.

It’s not a real school district, but you’ll see similarities between Jayhawkville schools and those in Johnson County and other urban sprawling districts nationwide, he said.

As Jayhawkville develops into a more in-depth program, Novak expects to use it for more courses.

������������ ������ ����������� �������� ��������

The early phases of the program involve classwork and therapy sessions. Residents are later taken on field trips to monitor their emotional reactions and behaviors in public settings in phase five. They are then moved to transitional housing, and conditionally released for a fiveyear probationary period in phases six and seven.

Few progress that far.

The state audit report found that more than 70 percent of the program’s residents are in phases two and three, while just 22 were found to be in phase five or beyond.

Due to its rising population, the report said that its costs could double by 2025 and its population could swell to 500.

Lively said he began the program with enthusiasm but lost hope and boycotted treatment for 18 months. He said he is now participating again, but describes the program as a “vicious cycle.�

De Rocha said the hospital is not allowed to discuss individual residents or their cases, but Larned Superintendent Tom Kinlen estimated that 30 to 40 percent of residents have quit participating.

Many residents progress slowly because some required classes are only offered once a year, Strickler said. Many are also forced to repeat phases if they are uncooperative with staff or fail routine polygraph tests used to monitor inappropriate behavior and thoughts, she said.

“We know that not all future educational administrators will teach or work in an urban school and that some will only work in small rural schools,� he said. “We want them to have data on and experience with all manner of schools.� — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

Budget balk There’s no use waiting for a magic solution, legislators. It’s time to pass a balanced budget and go home.

P

utting off state budget decisions won’t make those decisions any easier.

It’s not like members couldn’t see this problem coming. When the session started in January, the state already had seen a serious decline in revenue because of income tax cuts approved three years ago, but legislative leaders said they couldn’t get serious about working on a budget until after new revenue estimates were released in April. So legislators all went home for three weeks to await the new numbers — which turned out to show an even larger revenue shortfall.

They came back to Topeka on April 29 for the so-called “wrap-up session.”

The most important item on their agenda was the state budget, but during the next three weeks, legislators made almost no progress on solving the budget dilemma. On Wednesday, Senate leaders abruptly canceled a Senate debate that might have helped clarify the budget issues and sent legislators home to enjoy a four-day Memorial Day weekend. They said the revisor’s office was having trouble keeping up with drafting proposed amendments and they wanted “to get our members on the road at a decent hour today.”

Have a nice weekend, legislators, and no hurry getting back to work. Senate Republican leader Terry Bruce said the Senate probably would not meet again until Wednesday morning — “after most of our senators have returned.”

By Wednesday, the beginning of the next fiscal year will be just five weeks away, but lawmakers seem miles away from a final budget. Instead of dealing with the central cause of the revenue problem, many legislators are grasping at any proposal that will allow them to avoid changes in the income tax.

Let’s put a fee on insurance purchased through the health care exchange even if that raises the cost of health insurance for everyone in the state. Let’s cancel sales tax exemptions for construction materials for school district and city building projects, raising the cost of those projects for local taxpayers. Lawmakers who won elections by pointing to the fact that their opponents had voted for a temporary sales tax increase to balance the state budget during the Great Recession now see sales tax as one of the most acceptable ways to fill the current budget gap. Higher gasoline taxes also are fine.

Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence said last week that the House left Topeka without getting any closer to an acceptable budget but that might change over the weekend when legislative leaders will continue to meet. Sen. Bruce agreed, “Sometimes you just have to start closing doors and focusing on the core issues that are practicable.”

Most Kansans don’t understand why the only “practicable” discussions about the state budget have to take place in secret. It would be refreshing to see a practicable discussion instead of the political posturing that seems to dominate the public budget debate.

But at this point, Kansans probably are willing to accept whatever process that will end this debate. Every day the session goes on costs Kansas taxpayers another $43,000, and they’re starting to question whether they are getting their money’s worth. The situation won’t get better, legislators. It’s time to approve a balanced budget and go home.

Sisi regime fuels discontent in Egypt If you were looking for an Egyptian who could help his country fulfill the lost promise of the Arab Spring — someday — you couldn’t do better than Emad Shahin, an internationally renowned and liberal scholar who studies political Islam.

So why was this mild-mannered academic sentenced to death in absentia earlier this month in a Cairo court?

The answer lays bare the misguided policies of Egypt’s new autocratic government, led by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, which is trying to muzzle all domestic critics in the name of fighting terrorism. This strategy is more likely to make Egypt’s terrorism problem worse.

Shahin, a visiting professor at Georgetown University on leave from the American University of Cairo, was condemned along with 16 others on charges of conspiring with Hamas and Hezbollah to destabilize Egypt.

Trumped-up charges The charges are ludicrous, according to the many U.S. academics who know Shahin well (he holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and has taught at Harvard and Notre Dame).

“I would sooner believe that Vice President Biden is a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army than I would give credence to the charges against Emad,” says Nathan Brown, a well-known expert on Egypt at George Washington University. I agree.

Moreover, Shahin, who “categorically and emphatically” denies the charges, has never been a member or supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood. Why, then, did an Egyptian court sentence him to die?

Trudy Rubin

“

trubin@phillynews.com

The tragedy here is that Sisi’s heavy hand is likely to worsen the real terror threat the country faces. …

And by crushing all political dissent, Sisi is repeating Hosni Mubarak’s mistakes and once more fueling the frustrations that led to the Tahrir Square explosions.”

Shahin appears to have been targeted for his criticism of the military’s bloody crackdown following the coup against Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first democratically elected leader, when around 1,000 peaceful protesters were killed.

While sharply critical of Morsi’s performance, Shahin had also argued that ousting him would strengthen the claim of violent Egyptian Islamists that it is pointless for Islamists to run in elections since the results won’t be respected. The Brotherhood, for all its flaws, had abandoned violent tactics decades ago and opted to work through the political system.

The Sisi regime has vowed to destroy the Brotherhood, linking its members with violent jihadi groups in the Sinai, although terrorism

experts see no such connection. Morsi was sentenced to death with 100 others in another sham trial for the crime of breaking out of jail in the midst of the Tahrir Square revolt against President Hosni Mubarak.

Earlier this year, a judge handed down more than 1,200 death sentences, mostly to Brotherhood members, in two mass verdicts. Egyptian authorities admitted last year to having arrested 22,000 people, mostly Brotherhood members. Egyptian human rights groups claim the number is double that.

Meantime, the government has also gone after leaders of the liberal groups, such as the April 6 Movement, which were the organizers of the Tahrir revolt. Bloggers and journalists also languish in prison.

In one especially troubling case, Egyptian courts sentenced Mohamed Soltan, a 27-year-old Ohio State graduate and dual American-Egyptian citizen, to life in prison after he worked as a volunteer translator for foreign press during a peaceful Brotherhood protest. A hunger strike left him gravely ill, but, amazingly, given $1.3 billion in annual U.S. aid to Egypt, American diplomats haven’t been able to get him deported back to the United States.

Crushing dissent Shahin believes his own case is meant to send a warning that “it is very risky to oppose the regime,” even via writing or verbal critiques.

“They are undoing the revolution and creating a security state under the direct control of the military which can usher in decades of authoritarianism,” he told me. He says state-controlled media are whipping up pub-

lic fears of instability, which the government blames on its opponents.

The tragedy here is that Sisi’s heavy hand is likely to worsen the real terror threat the country faces. In the Sinai desert, where ISIS-linked cells have attacked Egyptian security forces, the government has alienated tribes that might be convinced to repel the jihadis.

Repeating mistakes And by crushing all political dissent, Sisi is repeating Hosni Mubarak’s mistakes and once more fueling the frustrations that led to the Tahrir Square explosions.

“He’s shut down every peaceful avenue for civic participation,” says Shahin. “He is pushing the entire country to the brink of violence.” Younger Brotherhood members are already hinting, since Morsi’s death sentence, that violent tactics may be needed.

In its eagerness to ease troubled relations with Sunni Arab states as it pursues a nuclear accord with Shiite Iran, the White House has barely responded to the death sentences. In truth, Sisi might slough off criticism from Washington. (Or he might cynically commute some of them to life imprisonment.)

But the death sentences of Morsi and Shahin — at opposite ends of the political spectrum — should serve as a warning to the West that Egypt’s war on dissent is bound to boomerang. President Obama should be making this point forcefully to Sisi.

“This is fundamentally a struggle between military hegemony and civilian, democratic rule,” says Shahin, “and I got crushed in between.”

A new computer being purchased by the city, county, and school district was to be delivered in about a week and, if all years went well, installed by the end ago of June. Officials reported that IN 1975 the new system would have sufficient capacity to store all the information possessed by the three agencies. Confidentiality and security were not given high priority at this time, as most records that would be placed in the system were already a matter of public record, such as real estate and property records, payroll records, and city and county budgets. The water bills to be included on the system were not part of the public record, but who, asked assistant city manager Mike Wildgen, would want to see his neighbor’s water bill?

Drones need regulation to protect privacy

By Marc Rotenberg The Philadelphia Inquirer

The Federal Aviation Administration is in the midst of a public rule making for drones. This is an important process that will help ensure that drones are safely deployed in civilian airspace in the United States.

Among the regulations that the FAA is considering are requirements that commercial drone operators obtain a license, that drones only be operated during daytime and that operators maintain visual line of sight with their craft.

That is a good start, but more needs to be done. The FAA should also establish rules to ensure that drones do not engage in unlawful surveillance.

As President Barack Obama has explained, the federal government should “take steps to ensure that the integration takes into account not only our economic competiveness and public safety, but also the privacy, civil rights and civil liberties concerns these systems may raise.”

This is a real concern as virtually all drones will carry high-resolution cameras with the ability to record images of people and also of private property.

The FAA needs to ensure that commercial drones are not used for stalking, harassment or to pry into people’s private lives.

“

The FAA needs to ensure that commercial drones are not used for stalking, harassment or to pry into people’s private lives.”

The FAA has acknowledged that its responsibility includes coordinating its efforts with “privacy policies so that the integration of drones into the national airspace is done in a manner that supports and maintains the U.S. government’s ability to secure the airspace and addresses privacy concerns.”

With special capabilities and enhanced equipment, drones are able to conduct detailed surveillance, obtaining high-resolution pictures and videos, peering inside high-level windows and through solid barriers, such as fences, trees and even walls.

Drones pose unique threats to privacy by virtue of their design, their size, how high they can fly and their ability to operate undetected in urban and rural environments. Many people will have no idea that they are subject to surveillance by small, unmanned vehicles.

In addition, drones can track multiple targets across a distance of hundreds of miles and gather sensitive, personal information using infrared cameras, heat sensors, GPS, automated license-plate

readers and other sensors.

Freedom of Information Act cases pursued by the Electronic Privacy Information Center reveal that drones may also have the ability to intercept electronic communications and to engage in facial recognition.

For these reasons, more than 100 experts and civil-liberties organizations petitioned the FAA to develop privacy rules for drones. The FAA denied the petition even after Congress told the federal agency to develop a “comprehensive plan” for the deployment of drones in civil airspace.

So, EPIC has sued the agency to help ensure that appropriate privacy rules are established. We do not believe that a voluntary, “best practices” approach is the right way to establish meaningful privacy safeguards. If the FAA has the authority to establish legal rules for drone safety, it also has the authority to establish legal rules to limit drone surveillance.

These efforts should be encouraged, and before commercial drones are deployed in the United States, federal baseline rules to limit their surveillance capabilities should be established.

AN IGUANA RESTS ON THE SHOULDER of a Pet World staff member after being rescued from the store Monday. and covered in mud — assisted by cleaning soot off the animals.

Robin Michael, a Baldwin City resident and Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital veterinarian, said she was at the intersection of 23rd and Louisiana streets when she saw smoke, but wasn’t sure at first of its source.

“My heart just sank when I saw it was Pet World,” Michael said.

Veterinarians assessed each animal’s condition, and some were sent to Gentle Care Animal Hospital for further treatment, Michael said. There, the animals will be treated for skin and eye burns and administered oxygen and fluids as needed, Michael said.

Michael said some of the reptiles were able to survive because they have a different respiratory anatomy than mammals, which allows them to hold their breath for long periods of time. With smoke inhalation, the condition of the animal can worsen after the fact, Michael said.

“They aren’t necessarily in the clear,” she said.

About 100 bystanders watched as emergency crews tackled the fire and staff worked to resuscitate animals. Many expressed concern for the animals and sympathy for the owners.

“We’re very sad,” she said.

Lister said in addition to celebrating their birthdays at Pet World, her sons also enjoy the educational programming, such as the school visits and the Animals After Dark event.

“There’s just been so many neat things to bring kids together with animals,” she said.

Lister said the crowd was a testament to Pet World’s place within the community.

“All these people are here for a reason,” she said.

On social media and at the site, many supporters of Pet World and its owners, Tim and Sherry Emerson, expressed grief and a desire to help.

Speaking with reporters late Monday afternoon, Tolefree said there is nothing members of the public can do now other than respecting the feelings of the owners and employees and showing support.

“This is really an emotional time for the owners and the workers,” Tolefree said.

Emerson said she and her husband are taking the situation “one step at a time.”

“As far as reopening, I have no idea,” Emerson said. “We did not see this coming.”

Tolefree said Monday evening that crews were still assessing the extent of the fire damages.

13-foot python, Goliath, was among the survivors.

Pet World’s tortoises also were safe, as they had been taken earlier to their summer home at a tortoise farm north of Lawrence, Emerson said.

Pet World had recently teamed up with the Lawrence Humane Society by housing adoptable kittens at the store for the summer.

Eight of the kittens were adopted over the weekend, but the one remaining kitten died in the fire, Emerson said, choking back tears.

The store’s double yellow-headed parrot, Fletcher, who had been greeting Pet World customers since 1994, also died in the blaze.

No animals were hurt by flames, Emerson explained.

The fire’s animal victims all died because of smoke inhalation.

Emerson said firefighters told her the fire was “hot and fast,” but the cause has yet to be determined. Pet World has a fire alarm system that notified the fire department of the smoke, but the building, which Emerson said is rented, was not equipped with a sprinkler system.

Pet World was closed for Memorial Day, and Emerson said staff were participating in a 5K trail run and retreat at a nature preserve north of town. Through the sadness of the day, Emerson said she found relief knowing employees were “together and safe” when the fire broke out.

“I’m trying to focus on the fact that of all times this could have happened, no one was in the store to be injured,” Emerson said.

About five local veterinarians administered oxygen to the reptiles — turtles, lizards and snakes — as they were brought out. About 30 Pet World staff members — in matching “Pet World 5K” T-shirts

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Charter Communications (CHTR) is nearing agreement to acquire Time Warner Cable (TWC) for $195 a share in a cash and stock deal valued at $55.1 billion, a person familiar with the talks said Monday.

The prospective combination of the nation’s fourth- and second-largest cable companies could create a newly strengthened rival for Comcast (CMCSA), the industry’s largest firm, and new competitors such as on-de-

mand streaming company Netflix (NFLX).

Charter is expected to pay $100 per share in cash and the balance in company stock, the person familiar with the talks said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the negotiations were confidential.

The offer represents a 13.9% premium to Time Warner’s $171.18 closing price in Friday trading, a historic high driven by investor expectation of a Charter deal.

Bright House Networks, a smaller cable company Charter said it would acquire in March as part of a separate $10.4 billion transaction, is also likely to be a part of the new deal, the person familiar with the talks said.

The new transaction, the latest in the rapidly consolidating payTV industry, was not yet finalized but could be announced as early as Tuesday, the person said.

Charter did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Time Warner declined

to comment.

Charter, controlled by prominent cable industry executive John Malone’s Liberty Media, initially sought to buy Time Warner in a series of escalating bids during 2013-14. Time Warner’s board rejected Charter’s sweetened offer of approximately $61 billion in cash, stock and debt assumption in January 2014.

The board characterized the offer as a “third grossly inadequate proposal.”

Comcast then entered the bidding, trumping Charter with a $45.2 merger agreement for Time Warner. But Comcast and Time Warner ultimately scrapped their planned tie-up in April, bowing to stiff opposition from consumers and a likely anti-trust veto from federal regulators.

OBAMA SCORES CITY HALL SUCCESSES Change ‘happens from the ground up’ Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama has quietly racked up a series of legislative victories during the past few months as lawmakers have enthusiastically embraced his calls for a higher minimum wage, paid sick leave and universal pre-kindergarten.

Instead of Capitol Hill, those victories happened in city halls, state houses and county buildings far from Washington.

At least six major cities — Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Tacoma, Wash., and Washington, D.C. — have passed paid sick leave laws in the four months since Obama called for state and local action in this year’s State of the Union Address. Since the 2013 address when Obama called for an increase in the minimum wage, 17

states and six major cities have taken action, including Los Angeles last week.

“It is a change in the paradigm, where we used to sit passively by waiting for elected officials to come to us. We think we can have a more substantial impact if we collaborate,” said Valerie Jarrett, assistant to the president for public engagement and intergovernmental affairs.

“I think the president has always had the perspective that change always happens from the

ground up, and our state and local officials are oftentimes more influenced by the will of the American people than the politics in Washington would seem to indicate,” Jarrett said.

Obama has no formal authority over state and local lawmakers, so his persuasion is a form of soft power — the “phone” part of what Obama has described as a “pen-and-phone” strategy to take action in the absence of v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

It’s May in Washington, which means the cherry blossoms have finished blooming, Congress is debating the budget, and the nation’s top spellers are coming to town.

Nearly 300 students from as far as Asia have begun arriving ahead of this week’s 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee at National Harbor, Md., just south of Washington.

They hail from all 50 states as well as American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Defense Department schools in Europe.

As in past years, the bee will have a foreign flavor. Spellers are coming from the Bahamas, Canada, China, Ghana, Jamaica, Japan and South Korea.

Nine-year-old Cameron Keith, a third-grader from Longmont, Colo., is the youngest of the 285 spellers. Fifteen-year-old Seungtaek Oh of South Korea is the oldest.

The three-day competition starts today with a written test that covers both spelling and vocabulary, followed by two oral rounds on stage Wednesday.

A maximum 50 spellers will survive to compete in Thursday’s semifinals, which will be aired live on ESPN2. The finals on Thursday night will be aired live on ESPN.

Detroit carjack victim chooses forgiveness Woman also says she won’t give up on city Tresa Baldas

Detroit Free Press

As she stood in court with her attacker feet away, carjacking victim Brittany Guerriero wasn’t fully prepared for what she was about to do.

Her words would help the judge decide how to punish the man who boxed her in alongside her car while another man jammed a gun into her ribs as she moved into her apartment in downtown Detroit last fall.

In court that day, she wanted to get angry, lash out. But when the judge called on her to speak, she chose a different path.

She forgave him. “The defendant’s mom came up and hugged

me. Choking back tears, she apologized for her son’s actions,” Guerriero recalled of the April 1 sentencing. “I told her — it is simply not her fault. I pray for her each day.”

It’s been eight months since Guerriero’s frightening ordeal outside her new apartment at Broderick Towers. The 33-yearold business and public relations strategist was carjacked Sept. 3.

Despite falling victim to a crime that targeted some 500 victims in Detroit in 2014, Guerriero remains passionate about living in the city and helping rebuild Detroit, as the justice system takes its course.

“I’m still mad,” Guerriero told the Free Press on Thursday. “I’m fighting back as hard as I can.”

On May 12, the gunman, Kendall Kelly, 24, of Detroit was sentenced to 9-20 years in prison for Guerrerio’s carjacking, and to 25-

50 years for fatally shooting a man in the face two days after he stole Guerriero’s car. The man who boxed her in and stood by, Demarcus Catlin, 24, of Detroit, received 9-20 years in prison at his April 1 sentencing.

Delia Catlin, whose son Demarcus cornered Guerriero, sat quietly in the courtroom as Guerriero addressed her son at sentencing. “Demarcus, your mother obviously loves you. I have seen her at many of these hearings. ... I know she raised you to know better,” Guerriero said. “My hope for you, Demarcus, is that you, too, come to realize you owe it to yourself to hold yourself to a higher standard.”

Delia Catlin was so moved, she approached Guerriero in the courtroom, hugged her and told her, “I’m so sorry for what my son did to you.”

Six weeks later, Guerriero

With the tables turned, she also reminded the gunman that he had no power over her. “In that moment Kendall, when you guys threatened to shoot me if I looked at you or tried to run, you got to decide what you take. After that, it is my choice,” Guerriero said. “I’ve decided that you get nothing.”

Since the carjacking, Guerriero has become even more vocal

about her passion for Detroit and the revitalization efforts taking place. She also has opted not to move back to the suburbs after the carjacking, stressing: “Crime can only take what’s to be had. My faith in humanity is not one of them. My integrity is not, either,” Guerriero told one of her attackers in court. “My hope in Detroit was shaken but not broken. You simply cannot have it. We have come too far.”

congressional cooperation.

He’s found fertile ground in Democratic-run cities such as Seattle, where Mayor Ed Murray helped push for a minimum wage and paid leave laws that have gone into effect since April.

“President Obama recognizes that good ideas are being incubated at the local level, and those are ideas that are going to go to scale nationally,” Murray said.

There’s also resistance. Jon Russell is a councilman in Culpeper, Va., and the director of the American City County Exchange, a year-old initiative of the smallgovernment American Legislative Exchange Council. Russell said states — not cities, not Congress and not the president — should be the primary regulator of labor conditions. Obama, he said, is “hop-skipping over the states.”

“With the number of states that have now turned to the opposite political party, he doesn’t have the allies there that he used to,” Russell said. “To work with the urban areas to push his agenda is not surprising. It’s the only allies he really has.”

The strategy has been more effective on some policies than others. Since last September, more than 200 mayors have signed on to the My Brother’s Keeper initiative, a commitment to help boys and young men of color. But since Obama called for states to offer free community college in January, only a handful have moved in that direction.

The state-and-local strategy effort has been particularly effective on paid leave policies, which Obama championed in his State of the Union Address this year.

“Forty-three million workers have no paid sick leave — 43 million. Think about that,” Obama said. “So I’ll be taking new action to help states adopt paid leave laws of their own.”

That pledge came with a $1 million budget from the Department of Labor to help fund feasibility studies for state and local governments, which will begin to be awarded this summer.

A city-by-city strategy can be painstaking and legally complicated. Every state grants different home rule powers to cities — and even different powers to different-sized cities in the same state.

Philadelphia was able to pass a paid leave bill applying to privatesector workers, but Pittsburgh’s law applies only to some nonunion city workers.

Last month, the Pennsylvania Senate voted 37-12 to pre-empt the Philadelphia law, taking the power to regulate sick leave out of the hands of local governments.

That bill’s sponsor, state Sen. John Eichelberger Jr., said it’s untenable to have 2,562 municipalities with different labor standards, forcing businesses to comply with a patchwork of rules.

“Philosophically, I have a real problem with President Obama going to a municipality and trying to accomplish an agenda, whether it’s liberal or conservative or otherwise,” he said. “It’s just not the place to adopt these policies.”

Obama has opened an entirely new frontier of presidential power by turning to state and local governments, said Matthew Esh-

IN BRIEF PHONE THREATS AFFECT SIX INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

Anonymous phone threats against airliners Monday caused a scare involving at least six international flights at airports in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Authorities said the threats did not appear to be credible and searches were done on some of the jets as a precaution.

An Air France airliner was escorted by U.S. military jets to JFK after a threat was made against the flight, the FBI said. The agency says it received similar threats against a Saudi Arabian Airlines plane. A New York-bound American Airlines flight from Birmingham, England, was briefly held on the tarmac at JFK after a threat against it, American Airlines spokesman Kent Powell said.

baugh-Soha, who studies the effect of presidential persuasion at the University of North Texas.

“At a time when executive orders are becoming particularly controversial and you’re not able to break through the gridlock of Congress, I think it’s ingenious,” Eshbaugh-Soha said.

He’s skeptical that the effort will put much pressure on members of Congress who don’t support Obama’s policies.

Jarrett said the effort is starting to snowball. She said some city leaders agreed with paid leave on principle but were reluctant to pass what could be seen as burdensome regulations in a difficult economy. As more cities and states have passed those policies, it’s emboldened others.

“Success begets success,” she said. “What the evidence has begun to show is it’s not a burden but an investment that is starting to pay off.”

Indeed, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter vetoed two paid leave bills in 2011 and 2013. But three weeks after Obama’s State of the Union Address this year, Nutter reversed course. Nutter said the economy was better, and the bill contained key compromises to accommodate small businesses. Nutter spokesman Mark McDonald said he was unaware of any role Obama had in getting the bill passed.

Bill Greenlee, the councilman who sponsored the measure, said Nutter “completely turned a corner” on paid leave when the president put it on his agenda. “I gotta think that when the president mentions sick leave in his State of the Union, and if you’re a Democrat and a supporter of the president’s agenda in general, that’s gotta have an effect,” Greenlee said.

Nutter did make a symbolic nod to Obama’s influence in signing the paid leave bill: He signed it with a pen Obama gave him — after the president used it to sign an unemployment compensation bill. The only other time Nutter used that pen was on an executive order raising the minimum wage for city contractors to $12 an hour.

NATION/WORLD

Honoring the ultimate sacrifice A Memorial Day with no major U.S. ground war, Obama says David Jackson USA TODAY

President Obama honored the nation’s fallen Monday by pointing out that this is the first Memorial Day since the end of combat operations in Afghanistan — and the first Memorial Day since 9/11 in which the United States is not involved in a major ground war.

“Most Americans don’t fully see — don’t fully understand — the sacrifice made by the 1% who serve in this all-volunteer armed forces,” Obama said during the annual Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

“Honor ...

Courage ...

Selflessness lived in the hearts of everyday heroes who risked everything for us.”

President Obama

Obama spotlighted the careers of the last two Americans to die in Afghanistan, and said the nation will never stop trying to repay the debt owed to these and thousands of others who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of the United States. The Americans who rest in the “sacred ground” at Arlington cemetery “are why our nation endures,” he said.

Earlier in the ceremony, as is custom, Obama placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

There were once more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, Obama said, but that number is now below 10,000 service members who train Afghan security officers. He said the United States would continue to reduce that number, and have no more than an embassy force in Afghanistan by the end of the next year.

While combat operations in Afghanistan — and Iraq — have ended, Obama pointed that thousands of men and women “still stand watch” across the world.

In his remarks, Obama did not mention current challenges facing the U.S. military, including its role in the regional battle against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Instead, the president focused on the heroism of Americans who have fought the nation’s wars, from the Civil War and World War II to Korean and Vietnam to the recent conflicts in “the deserts of the Middle East.”

The nature of war has changed in the past century-and-a-half, but the values that drive the American military have not, Obama said. “Honor ... Courage ...

Selflessness,” he said. “Those values lived in the hearts of everyday heroes who risked everything for us.”

Gen. Kelly tackles: ‘Was it worth it?’

Marine officer says he found the answer during son’s burial Jim Michaels USA TODAY

NEW YORK CITY As a senior Marine officer, Gen. John Kelly regularly visited hospitals and spoke to families whose loved ones were injured or killed in combat.

Often those families would quietly approach him and ask if the sacrifice was worth it.

At the time, Kelly didn’t have an answer.

“My sense then was it is inconceivable for anyone to understand that has not had his or her heart pierced with such sadness,” Kelly said Monday during a Memorial Day speech at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

In 2010, Kelly learned that his own son, Marine 2nd Lt. Robert Kelly, 29, was killed while leading his platoon in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan.

The elder Kelly found himself

Marine Gen. John Kelly speaks at the Memorial Day ceremony at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. struggling with the same question that families had asked him: Was it worth it?

“Since the instant I received the news in the foyer of my home from a casualty officer executing his sacred duty, until the day my Robert was buried two weeks later, I asked myself the same question a million times over,” said Kelly, now head of the U.S. Southern Command.

During a ceremony on the In-

treprid, a Navy carrier-turnedmuseum, Kelly spoke about his son and the generation of servicemembers who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan for more than 10 years.

“They are, as they have always been, good and decent youngsters, mostly from the neighborhoods of our cities, and small towns across America,” Kelly said.

“Almost all are from ‘salt of

the earth’ working-class homes and more often than not are the sons and daughters of cops and firemen, factory and service workers, farmers and the like,” he said.

He talked about dealing with his son’s death.

“I desperately tried to convince myself that it was all for something,” Kelly said.

“I worked so hard at believing his life was worth the sacrifice on the altar of America’s freedom,” he said.

The answer came the day the Marine general buried his son at Arlington National Cemetery.

“It didn’t matter what I thought,” Kelly said. “It doesn’t matter what the living think.”

What mattered was what his son had thought. And he was doing what he wanted to do: lead Marines in combat.

“He had decided it was ... important to be where he was that morning in the Sangin River Valley, Afghanistan, to be doing what he was doing that morning with his Marines and his Navy docs that he loved so much and led so well,” Kelly said.

“Was it worth his life?” Kelly asked. “It’s not for me to say.”

Tornado kills 13 in Mexican city on border In Texas, a dozen are missing after flood washes away house Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

A tornado ripped through a city on the U.S.-Mexican border Monday, killing 13 people. First responders in Central Texas searched for a dozen people missing after the vacation home they were staying in was swept away in torrential flooding.

The Texas cities of San Marcos and Wimberley suffered extensive damage as severe storms displaced more than 2,000 residents throughout the state, leaving 12 missing in Hays County.

The search for the missing came as the Mexican city of Acuna was devastated by a twister at daybreak Monday. At least 13 were killed in the tornado, the Associated Press reported. The city, pop. 100,000, is across the border from Del Rio, Texas.

Storms this weekend wreaked havoc from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.

JERRY LARA, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Keith Varela checks out the damage done to his wife’s truck in the San Marcos Mobile Home Park in Texas on Sunday.

Three deaths were blamed on the storms Saturday and Sunday, including two in Oklahoma and one in Texas, where a man’s body was recovered from a flooded area along the Blanco River, which rose 26 feet in an hour and created huge piles of debris.

In Central Texas, the hardest-

hit communities were Wimberley and San Marcos, which are along the Blanco River between Austin and San Antonio. More rain was in the forecast for Central Texas on Monday.

“It looks pretty bad out there,” Hays County emergency management coordinator Kharley Smith

said of Wimberley. “We do have whole streets with maybe one or two houses left on them, and the rest are just slabs.”

San Marcos emergency coordinator Ken Bell said Monday responders were still finding stranded people. “We still have people who are on little islands,” Bell said.

Joe McComb of Corpus Christi told KIII-TV that his son, Jonathan, was seriously hurt when a home his family was staying in was swept away by extreme flooding near Wimberley.

“Right now, it’s still a state of shock,” McComb said. “It’s in the Lord’s hands. We believe in miracles, but we also believe in reality.”

McComb received the news as he and his wife were in Maui, Hawaii, celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary. They tried to catch a flight back to Texas to be with their son, who was at a hospital in San Antonio recovering from a broken sternum, broken rib and a collapsed lung.

McComb said his son’s family was staying at a river house with other couples in the Wimberley area when a wall of water took

the home off its foundation.

Gov. Greg Abbot declared 24 counties disaster areas Monday.

“I strongly urge all Texans to exercise every possible precaution to ensure their safety and the safety of their families and neighbors,” Abbott said in a statement.

“My thoughts and prayers are with all the communities that are suffering as a result of this weather disaster, and I am grateful for the first responders who have worked tirelessly to provide shelter, care and resources to all impacted areas.”

Five San Marcos police cars were washed away, and the fire house was flooded. Bell urged people to stay away from the area.

In Hays County, as many as 1,300 homes were damaged by the storms and at least 67 were destroyed.

“I know some people want to see their properties — some of that brings some closure,” Bell said. “We’d prefer right now that they don’t even try.”

Dallas faced severe flooding from the Trinity River, which was likely to crest near 40 feet. The Red and Wichita rivers also rose far above flood stage.

What gay marriage fight cost the state Stephanie Wang Indianapolis Star

The state paid more than $1.4 million in fees to plaintiffs’ attorneys in five federal court cases that challenged — and ultimately helped overturn — Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriages, according to the attorney general’s office.

Same-sex marriages became legal in Indiana last year through two federal rulings, essentially sealed when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal by Indiana and four other states.

That resolved the five lawsuits in favor of the plaintiffs, leaving the state of Indiana to foot the bill for their legal costs.

Indiana is not involved in the Supreme Court’s current weighing of same-sex marriage.

Here’s how much Indiana spent on each of the five federal cases, according to information provided by the state attorney general’s office: uThe most costly case for the state was that of Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney, a Munster couple who fought to have their marriage recognized as Quasney was dying of cancer.

Theirs became the lead case in Indiana on same-sex marriage.

Bulls say season will be better than usual Adam Shell USA TODAY

Will it be a “Summer of Love” for stock investors — or a bigtime bummer?

Wall Street bulls are still singing a bullish tune. But bears are beating to a different drummer and say the stock market could turn lower and bum out investors like a bad trip did for hippies back in 1967 during the “Summer of Love.”

More college grads getting better jobs

Portion of the underemployed falls, but still elevated Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Employers are recruiting freshly minted college graduates more intensively this spring and not just to be food servers, cashiers and call center representatives.

Melissa Remmey, 22, who graduated from Wake Forest University in North Carolina last week with a political science degree, recently weighed four job offers, including positions as a business liaison, an analyst and a sales and marketing associate.

“I was surprised at the number I got,” she says. “I heard a lot of ‘no’s’ from companies” last fall.

The Doylestown, Pa., resident accepted a Boston-based job from Oracle in sales and business development.

Even when U.S. unemployment hit 10% in 2009, the jobless rate for college graduates was about half the size. Many, though, were overqualified for their positions.

Since last summer, the share of working recent college grads in jobs that don’t require at least a bachelor’s degree has fallen to 44.6% from 46% and online postings for workers with degrees have increased, according to a report this month from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

That means that six years after the Great Recession ended, the

BETTER JOBS FOR GRADS The share of employed recent college graduates in jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree has fallen since last summer but is still high by historical standards.

share of recent graduates who are underemployed is still elevated compared with the pre-recession average of about 41%. The study defines recent grads as those who earned their degrees within the past five years.

Yet the drop in their underemployment rate is the first since the measure began rising in 2011, according to New York Fed economists and study authors Jaison Abel and Richard Deitz.

The economists say higherskill jobs are finally increasing more rapidly after lower-skill positions in sectors like restaurants and retail dominated payroll growth early in the recovery.

Since last year, the Labor Department has reported healthy gains in occupations such as computer professionals, engineers,

accountants and architects “What surprised us is the softness in demand for college graduates” until recently, Abel said in an interview.

One reason for the lag is that many employers slashed low-paying jobs aggressively in the recession and reinstated them quickly as the recovery began, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics.

By contrast, they were slower to lay off more skilled workers, and needed to see a sharper economic upswing before adding to their ranks, he says.

Another factor is that after the recession many companies struggling with lower revenue cut their training budgets and sought to hire from a large pool of unemployed but experienced workers.

With job growth accelerating last year and the unemployment rate at a near-normal 5.4%, employers are more willing to hire college grads and train them, says Amy Glaser, senior vice president of Adecco Staffing.

“They’re having to get creative,” she says.

Deloitte Consulting this year boosted its hiring of college grads for federal government consulting jobs by the most since the recession, in part because the pickup in the economy is spilling into the public sector, says Jim Hagy, who oversees that recruiting for Deloitte.

At Wake Forest, 144 employers attended career fairs on campus this year, up from 122 in 2014, says Mercy Eyadiel, who heads employer relations for the school.

Many students, she says, are receiving multiple job offers.

Despite the upturn, many recent college grads are still struggling. When she graduated from Manhattan College in 2012 with a degree in English and religion, Lindsey Farmer hoped to land a job as an administrative assistant and rise through the managerial ranks. But she repeatedly lost out to workers with experience in the field.

So she took a $10-an-hour job as a ticket seller at a dine-in movie theater near her hometown of Issaquah, Wash., eventually rising to assistant manager.

“Once you graduate with a bachelor’s, you think you’ll be at the top of the earnings pool,” she says. “But then you realize it’s not like in the movies.”

HOW THE CHALLENGE WAS DONE

Compact SUVs “are a desirable size but concede very little in efficiency, and are comparably priced with models in other popular segments. They combine aspects of the market’s best-selling and pragmatic segments,” says a report by Jessica Caldwell, analyst at researcher Edmunds.com.

But potential compact SUV shoppers should: uBe sure the one you like has all the features you want. There are some big surprises, pleasant and otherwise, in the segment.

The popularity of compact SUVs these days reflects a convergence of price, size and fuel economy.

Compact SUVs can offer a lot of utility and features at a price point several thousand dollars less than the $33,000 or so that’s the average transaction price of a new vehicle nowadays.

The entrants in the Cars.comUSA TODAY-MotorWeek $28,000 Compact SUV Challenge highlighted that careful shoppers can get a vehicle with many desirable features — not a stripped model — at a price-point some $5,000 below the new-car average.

Self-stopping to prevent crashes, all-wheel drive, heated seats, navigation, a sunroof or power tailgate are examples — though no one Challenge vehicle had all those. To get a full array of features in one vehicle would bump up its price past $30,000, and perhaps beyond the new-car average.

Though called “compact,” the

models often have surprisingly roomy interiors. And cargo space, especially, is generous — that being a main attribute of SUVs. That goes a long way in explaining why they are supplanting midsize sedans as family vehicles of choice among many groups of buyers.

The term “SUV” used to be an instant turn-off among mileageminded buyers. But the Challenge group had ratings of at least 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving — near the rating of 28 mpg or so on a typical midsize family car such as Toyota Camry.

ple, is pitched as a premium model, but it was the only Challenger — including its sibling, Chevy Equinox — to lack Bluetooth streaming. That means, for instance, you can’t easily, directly play the music on your phone through your vehicle’s stereo. You can get it, but at a price premium.

Subaru’s Forester had gee-whiz crash-preventing technology called EyeSight that’ll stop the car automatically at some speeds to prevent it from hitting another car or other obstruction. But at this price its backup camera HOW THE SUVS WERE TESTED u A 100-mile drive in and around Baltimore mixing city traffic, rural roads and Interstates to judge real-world fuel economy. u A day for the experts to judge all seven SUVs over the same route back-to-back. u A day for the family judges to evaluate and then to drive each on the same route back-to-back.

The experts’ scores accounted for 75% of the total score; the family, 15%; and fuel economy, 10%.

Here’s the finish and what the judges had to say:

2015 Honda CR-V

screen was tiny in comparison to the others and hard to use.

SUV means “all-wheel drive” to many shoppers, but only the CR-V and Forester had AWD among the entrants. Others offer it, but you’ll pay more than the $28,000 Challenge limit. uConsider zagging when other are zigging. Buyers forsaking sedans for compact SUVs have left a glut of family cars on dealer lots, Edmunds’ Caldwell reports.

Such overstocks mean bigger discounts. Would a seriously discounted Accord work better for you than a premium-price CR-V? uThink about waiting. This could be compact SUVs’ last hurrah, as a parade of “city-size” SUVs rolls into the market: Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500X, Chevrolet Spark and others.

Their prices are lower, mileage ratings higher, buzz factor bigger.

And if some analysts’ are right, these so-called “city utes” will be enough for many buyers’ and could outsell compact SUVs in the near future. Dealers could be caught with the sort of overstock that bedevils sedans now, and you could buy a compact SUV for less.

Too, once the full array of the “city ute” field is at showrooms for you to compare and contrast, you might find you like them better than a compact SUV.

u What they didn’t: Despite improvements in the interior and the infotainment system, neither wowed the judges. “The door trim, in particular, remains econobox quality,” Mays said.

“The interior looks a bit dated in comparison to others,” Varela said. Robinson went off on the new infotainment system: It “is a little easier to use than before, but it has come with the elimination of all knobs. I absolutely hate volume rocker switches. I need a knob.”

Several judges found the handling “only adequate.” u Bottom line: “The best blend of good interior room, excellent visibility and a surprisingly rewarding driving experience ... power it to the top of my scorecard,” Jackson said.

u Points: 752.8 (out of 1,000) u Price with shipping: $27,675 u Gas mileage test: No. 4 at 26 mpg (EPA: 26 city, 33 highway, 28 combined) u Notable features at this price: All-wheel drive, heated seats, moonroof, remote key. u What they liked: Creature comforts: “Love the easy-to-fold seats and low load floor,” Robinson said. “A lot of extra features for the money,” Meier pointed out, from a brand that’s not typically the price leader.” The CR-V’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) behaved enough like a conventional automatic that it “could fool you,” Mays applauded. “Nissan and Subaru could learn a thing or two.”

u Points: 735.8 u Price with shipping: $27,805 u Gas mileage test: No. 5 at 25.4 mpg (EPA: 22/32/26) u Notable features at this price: 4G LTE hotspot. u What they liked: Equinox is a little bigger than rivals, and has more people space. “GM’s big-boy chairs make the other cockpits seem like economy-class tickets,” Mays said. Said Meier, “It has limo-like rear space with sliding and reclining seats, no hump and wide doors for easy entry.” Said Varela: “The grippy, rubber-lined cup holders do something novel, they hold cups. ... Others are too shallow, allowing cups to tip out at every turn, or too wide, causing cups to rattle loudly.” “I love, love, love that the child locks are accessible from the center console,” Holly Davenport said, and that was among reasons the family made Equinox its top pick. “Ride quality and noise levels reveal above-class composure,” Mays said. u What they didn’t: Behavior on bad roads. Said Robinson: “The suspension is really harsh over rough roads.”

The interior “just doesn’t look rich, as there’s a lot of exposed hard plastic,” Jackson said. Several dinged poor visibility. “Fat windshield pillars and a narrow windshield cut your forward visibility,” Meier said. “The power and acceleration could be better.” Robinson said. u Bottom line: “A graceless interior shows the Equinox’s age,” Mays said, “but fundamentals like passenger space and ride composure can’t be beat.”

u Points: 705 u Price with shipping: $27,905 u Gas mileage test: No. 7 at 24.6 mpg (EPA: 22/32/26) u Notable: 4G hotspot, only without Buetooth streaming. u What they liked: Terrain shared many compliments with its corporate cousin, the Equinox — people space, big seats, sliding second row — but it has its own rugged look.

“Love it or hate it,” Meier said, “the Terrain has a distinctive design in a lookalike category.” Space for stuff, too. “Despite all the room given over to passengers,” Jackson said, “it still manages to have a large cargo area.” “The deep, narrow center console is the biggest of the group,” Varela noted, “and it’s definitely large enough to keep my electronics out of sight.”

What they didn’t: “Knowing that the Terrain can’t back up its rugged looks with its performance,” Robinson said.

Though both GMs offer 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity, the Terrain did not offer Bluetooth streaming audio. “Inexplicable,” Meier said. Terrain also shared some Equinox complaints: poor visibility and the interior. “It manages to look less rich than the Equinox, and GMC is the more premium brand,” Jackson said.

Bottom line: “The Terrain is easily the most rugged-looking of the group,” Robinson said. “It’s probably the only one that looks like a traditional SUV, but, unfortunately, it also rides like one as well, and that kind of stands out in this class of very car-like rides.”

u Points: 700.8 (out of 1,000) u Price with shipping: $27,175 u Gas mileage test: No. 3 at 26.5 mpg (EPA: 26/33/28) u Notable features at this price: Only one with 360degree around-view parking camera, heated seats. One of only two with navigation, power tailgate. Remote key. u What they liked: A lot of features for the price. “The Around-View Monitor kicks butt when it comes to squeezing into and out of tight parking spaces,” Varela said. Not to mention that “a power liftgate, blind spot warning system, lane-departure warning and Moving Object Detection take the Rogue up to the top of my list.” “The cabin materials are lush,” Mays said, adding: “The cargo area has an embarrassment of riches with movable partitions, stackable shelves and lots of hidden under-floor storage.” But it’s not just about features. “The handling is confident and steering is precise,” Meier said.

What they didn’t: The sound of the CVT transmission. “If you press the gas to get more response, you get a whiny groan before anything else,” she said. Mays described the Rogue’s CVT as “a mess.” despite the automaker’s experience with that drivetrain. “The otherwise competent chassis loses composure on broken pavement,” Meier said. Jackson took the seats personally: “Someone at Nissan stays up nights designing seats specifically to hurt my back.” u Bottom line: “Not the most fun to drive, but the features for the price make this easily the value leader in this group,” Meier said.

The all-wheel-drive system. “There aren’t many things in life that you can trust as much as Subaru’s allwheel drive,” Varela said. “The Forester aims to be sturdy and practical, down to its heavy all-weather floormats,” Meier said, “and doesn’t pretend to be otherwise.” Subaru’s EyeSight electronic crash-avoidance system added to the overall value proposition.“For similar cash as the others,” Mays said, “Forester had all-wheel drive, a giant moonroof and Subaru’s excellent EyeSight system. That’s value.”

What they didn’t: Although the EyeSight system is cutting edge, some other tech was not. “The retro infotainment system is complicated to operate,” Meier said, “and the sound quality is muddy.” Varela asked, “Is that a fly on my dash? No! It’s the world’s tiniest backup camera image.”

Several criticized road noise, and Holly Davenport found she “just couldn’t get comfortable in this car.” u Bottom line: “The Forester has the best visibility of any car in this test; it’s surprisingly fun to drive, but it’s a very loud cabin, and it can get pitched around in crosswinds more than the others in the test,” Jackson said.

Varela agreed: “Comfortable on a variety of road surfaces, smoothed out harsh bumps and didn’t create a lot of driver fatigue.” Mays enjoyed the center controls. “They had a wealth of features, from dual-zone automatic climate controls to a touch-screen stereo with navigation.” Jackson noted “the cargo area is enormous for a car that’s not particularly large on the outside.”

What they didn’t: Cubbies. Jackson said, “While the cargo area is huge, up front in the cabin, there’s not a lot of cargo space.” Interior materials. “Toyota spruced up the dash with a ribbon of stitching … and phoned it in everywhere else. From rickety climate dials to cardboard-quality headliner, this is a study in cost-cutting,” said Mays. “The bean counters spared nothing.” Varela said, “The backseat is very stiff, hard and flat.”

Bottom line: “The RAV4 is not a bad choice,” Meier said.

“It’s a competent vehicle that’s good at everything, but not really the best at any one thing.”

u Points: 673.3 (out of 1,000) u Price with shipping: $27,765 u Gas mileage test: No. 2 at 27.5 mpg (EPA: 26/33/29) u Notable features at this price: Remote key, moonroof. u What they liked: Quickness. “Mazda’s beefy fourcylinder won’t fool anyone for a V-6,” Mays said, “but it pairs with a responsive transmission to turn the CX-5 into a capable highway passer.” “The handling felt tied-down and more like a sedan than a tall crossover,” Meier said. Interior quality. “Seat comfort is very good,” Robinson said, “and the interior layout is refreshingly simple.” “The technology — pairing phones, playing music — is easy to use,” Jackson said. “The blind spot warning came in handy for those tricky merges onto the highway,” Varela added.

What they didn’t: “Power aside, the CX-5 is not a slam dunk in the fun department,” Mays said. “The steering is weighty but somewhat numb, and the brakes feel muddy in the first inch of pedal travel.” “The trade-off for its handling is a ride that will be too firm for many,” Meier said.

“Yeah, I know everyone likes zipping around in this fun-todrive car, but if you’re going to drive it as a daily hauler,” Varela said, “something with a little more give to the suspension would be more enjoyable.” u Bottom line: Said Varela: “While it definitely features some niceties above and beyond the others ... it just doesn’t shout, ‘take me home and drive me for hours on end every single day.’ ”

NEW YORK “Juicy man!” Ciara coos as her son, Future, 1, toddles into her hotel room. “Hi, mommy’s boy! Come on! I gotta do an interview. Say hi!”

He’s clad in an Adidas Darth Vader sweatsuit, and the singer, 29, gushes over him after spending the day promoting her sixth studio album, Jackie.

She’s split from Future’s father, a rapper also named Future, and keeps her circle pretty tight. Her dad is her nanny, which makes being a working single mom that much easier for the Austin-born Army brat, who was raised all over the world.

“He goes everywhere with me,” Ciara says. “It just works out.

He’s very easy. He’s a super-easy baby.”

And she’s happy with her boyfriend, Russell Wilson, quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks.

“Good stuff,” she smiles. “Life is really sweet. I’m having some pretty amazing days, for sure.”

She’s on tour, with a Las Vegas show on June 5, and she’s one of

the competitors on NBC’s new series I Can Do That, (tonight, 10 ET/PT). Ciara, Joe Jonas, Nicole Scherzinger and three other celebs learn and perform new acts each week. Ciara performs with illusionists Penn & Teller and learns how to double-Dutch jump-rope.

“In our world, as artists, the only time I’m allowed to express myself is through song,” she says. “I thought it would be fun to challenge myself and allow my fans to see another side of me. I face challenges like they do.

“I used to always be very private, and in this new phase of my life, I want more.

I want to grow. Why not try something out of your comfort zone?”

Anyone doubting Ciara’s vocal prowess needs only to spend a few minutes with her and baby. He claps, squeals and shimmies when mom bursts into song.

Ride is not so wild for ‘Tomorrowland’ Disney’s romp wins box office race, but numbers lack magic Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

Houston, we have a problem.

Tomorrowland, Disney’s highflying adventure, launched at the box office with an underwhelming $41.7 million for the four-day Memorial Day weekend, according to studio estimates provided

by Rentrak.

Based on the futuristic land at Disney theme parks, the family thriller starring George Clooney and directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles) falls on the low end of best Memorial Day openings.

“As Memorial Weekends go, this one wasn’t a firecracker,” says Rentrak analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Despite Tomorrowland’s aggressive marketing campaign

WALT DISNEY PICTURES

George Clooney, Britt Robertson and Raffey Cassidy aimed high with Tomorrowland, but it took in less than $42 million. and Disney tie-in, “it just seems that audiences are very reluctant to try new things and stake their money on something that’s somewhat unknown.”

But sci-fi fare tends to do well internationally, and Tomorrowland has yet to open in major markets such as China and Japan.

“People are quick to call a movie a bomb just because it doesn’t live

up to expectations in North America,” says BoxOffice.com analyst Phil Contrino. “Give it a little time to see how it does.”

Meanwhile, Pitch Perfect 2 continues its aca-mazing box office run. The sequel to the 2012 musical comedy sleeper sang its way to $38.5 million and No. 2 its second weekend to boost its tally to $126 million, which all but

guarantees a sequel.

The weekend’s only other new opener, horror remake Poltergeist, was a scream with the younger set, taking $26.5 million for fifth place — a healthy debut for the the low-budget, PG-13 thriller. The critically adored Mad Max: Fury Road continued to blaze ahead with $32.1 million in third place, bringing the bombastic action movie’s total to a solid $95.5 million in two weeks.

“It’s a movie that people needed to see first before they realized how good it was,” Contrino says.

“Now it’s hitting that ‘must-see’ status” and should play well until Jurassic World opens June 12.

Rounding out the top five, Avengers: Age of Ultron suckerpunched another $27.8 million, landing in fourth and crossing the $400 million mark in the USA. Overall, box office is down from last Memorial Day weekend, when X-Men: Days of Future Past launched with $110.6 million.

Final numbers are out today.

PARKOUR GALORE

After a breakup, vent, but reflect Dear Dr. Wes & Kyra: My son just finished his sophomore year in high school. He’s been having a rocky breakup from a girl he dated since last summer. They couldn’t seem to get apart for the longest time, went back and forth, and then finally she started dating another guy. My son is taking this really hard and some of the things he’s saying seem unusually bitter toward her and girls in general. I want him to realize he has his whole life ahead of him and this is just “one of those things” we all go through.

Six tips for a healthy, pain-free gardening season

Spring is once again upon us. As the rhyme goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” or “April rain brings more May rain” this year.

Here are some helpful tips to keep you healthy and pain-free this spring and summer: Stretch: A good hamstring stretch can prevent a multitude of injuries, but don’t forget your

shoulders, back, and calf muscles. Stretching can also help if you are sore after gardening, but going beyond a nice light stretch might do more harm than good. When stretching to relieve soreness, hold your stretch for 20 to 30 seconds.

Warm up: Don’t just start out your projects with a good heave-ho; loosen up first. Even just

a walk around the block will help keep you from ending your work day in the first 5 minutes.

Study: More kids being treated for mental disorders

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

Contrary to public perception and horrific cases that make headlines, serious mental problems are declining among the nation’s youth, and there has been a big rise in how many are getting help, a new study finds.

The study is mostly good news: More children and teens are taking mental health medicines than ever before, but more also are getting therapy, not just pills. The biggest rise in treatment rates has been among the most troubled kids.

“There’s a concern out there that a lot of children and adolescent s are receiving mental health treatments, particularly medications, that they don’t need,” especially for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, said the

study’s leader, Dr. Mark Olfson, a psychiatrist at Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Instead, the results suggest “that at least in some ways, we’re moving in the right direction,” by getting help to kids who need it most, he said.

The dark cloud: More than half of severely troubled kids get no help at all.

The study used nationwide surveys done by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality over three periods from 1996 to 2012, covering more than 53,000 youths ages 6 to 17. Results are in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.

Some highlights, which compare the first survey to the most recent one:

“There’s a public perception that there are more and more kids who have these disorders, and the new report challenges that.”

Dr. Mark Olfson, psychiatrist

Severe mental problems declining The percentage of youths with serious impairments dropped from 13 percent to 11 percent.

“There’s a public perception that there are more and more kids who have these disorders, and the new report challenges that,” Olfson said. Other research has found drops in rates of binge drinking and dropping out of school, so the new study “does fit with other trends,” he said.

rose from 9 percent to 13 percent. The rise was greatest for severely troubled kids, and went from 26 percent to 44 percent — from 1.56 million annually to 2.28 million.

Among kids with less or no impairment, the portion getting treatment went from about 7 percent to nearly 10 percent, or from about 2.74 million kids a year to 4.19 million.

Medication use is up The use of any mental health drug rose from More are getting care about 6 percent to 9 perUse of any outpatient cent. Among youths with mental health service severe problems, medi-

cation use went from 18 percent to 32 percent.

Among the rest — mild or no problems — it went from 4 percent to 6 percent.

Some people complain, “Oh my goodness, these poor little children are on these powerful drugs,” said Dr. Gabrielle Carlson, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Stony Brook University School of Medicine on New York’s Long Island. “But most of the kids offered these drugs have big, powerful problems,” and the real issue is finding more effective drugs and getting more kids the help they need, she said.

Not just pills The percentage of youths getting therapy rose from 4 percent to 6 percent. That may reflect more access to care in general: Other research shows that medi-

learning how to fight like martial arts, it’s a discipline for flight,” Boyer said. “People assume there’s this dangerous, X-games, skateboard vibe to it because the videos are all based on flipping off buildings, and that’s really just a very small portion of the world and something that very few people are even skilled enough to try.”

Outside of parkour, Boyer and Sivagnanam live in Kansas City, where they run a bakery called GF+1, while Sivagnanam also works as a research assistant for a medical research facility.

Both became traceurs in the late 2000s after documentaries like “Jump London” and waves of YouTube videos uncovered the underground movement.

The two began offering classes in 2010 when Lawrence was their home. Boyer had spent some time volunteering for a Boys and Girls Club program at Schwegler School, where games of tag got him thinking he could teach them parkour.

In the five years since, they’ve relied almost entirely on word-of-mouth and social media to grow the program. On a Sunday night in May, nine students showed up for another lesson at the Lawrence Gymnastics Academy, which comes

found that talking into a voice recorder or writing about a difficult breakup and the resulting emotions helps people “get over” them and develop a clearer sense of selfconcept — the degree to which you understand yourself as a person.

As Wes notes, your son needs to muster the courage to dive back into the dating pool and mingle with other fish in the sea. But only after an appropriate amount of private venting and reflection.

selves forward and off it.

They also learn how to crash, too.

“Roll! Don’t fall on your face,” Sivagnanam said after one student caught his foot on an obstacle, ruining his midair momentum, and he decided not to do much about it as he hit the padded ground.

Three of the students said after the class that they didn’t have any gymnastic-like background before enrolling. They first heard of parkour through YouTube videos.

cal visits of all kinds rose for these age groups over that time.

The ADHD situation Use of stimulants such as methylphenidate, sold as Ritalin and other brands, rose from 4 percent of youths to 6.6 percent. These drugs are often given for ADHD, which affects more than 1 in 10 children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many kids get no help About 56 percent of youths with serious troubles were not in care.

“There’s a tremendous amount of unmet need,” said Dr. Brady Case, a child psychiatrist at Bradley Hospital in East Providence, Rhode Island. It’s possible that one reason serious impairment rates are falling “is that treatment is working” for those who get it, he said.

“It’s really fun,” said Joseph Schmidtberger, 14, who’s been in the class for six months and practices on his own time.

“It’s hard to explain it to (other people). They’re like, ‘So pretty much you’re just jumping over things. Wow.’” Boyer and Sivagnanam said the parents involved often struggle at first to get a grasp on what their kids are doing. The gymnastics academy has a loft with a vending machine and seating area. During the beginning of a new “semester,” the area will be filled with parents. On this Sunday in May, the penultimate class of the semester, two parents are hanging around.

One of them, Heather McPeek, of Eudora, said she sometimes worries about her 13-year-old son Owen hurting himself, “but he’s pretty good.”

“We feel like we must be doing a good job because the parents stop coming at a certain point,” Boyer said. “They trust what we’re doing.”

Boyer and Sivagnanam said the class is about teaching the basics and students aren’t expected to reach a particular level of skill by semester’s end.

Parkour is all about selfimprovement, they said.

“We’ve seen incredible progress from kids that couldn’t even stand on one foot on the ground, who can now run on a balance beam and dive off of it and roll,” Sivagnanam says. “You can start really un-athletic and do things that you never really knew you can do.”

Dear Annie: My husband and I meet up with a group of family and close friends every week for lunch.

One couple in this group (a close family member and her spouse) constantly blow their noses during our get-togethers. They use cloth handkerchiefs, which are then reused multiple times, and her husband picks his nose, as well. It is nauseating to all of us, not to mention to other diners nearby. A few of the couples have told us they will not attend any more lunches unless absolutely necessary.

We do not want a family feud, but I think we need to do something before our social gatherings fall apart.

Celebrities’ hidden skills on display It’s summer vacation in network land. Before “The Voice” and Sunday night NFL coverage revived NBC’s fortunes, “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m.) was the network’s only hit show. It was the perfect diversion for viewers still jingling from the excitement of the just concluded season of “American Idol.”

That was some time ago.

As with any series in its 10th season, familiar faces abound.

Nick Cannon returns as host, joining judges H o w i e Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howard Stern.

If “Talent” celebrates the talents of perfect strangers, the new series “I Can Do That” (9 p.m., NBC) showcases the stranger talents of celebrities.

Marlon Wayans hosts this celebration of the already known.

“I Can Do That” may remind some of Jimmy Fallon’s penchant for getting the famous and semi-famous to perform YouTube-worthy song parodies and other performances we generally associate with the undiscovered.

It’s also a fairly benign (if not banal) variety show airing at 10 p.m., an hour generally associated with more grownup dramas. This seems like a perfect show for 8 p.m., a time once known as the “family hour.”

But we now live in an age when content is saved for later and streamed on demand. For a growing audience, there is no “now” now and 10 p.m. is just a state of mind. All that said, I don’t think there are enough hours in the day to interest me in watching this.

A timely examination of a subject certain to loom large in the coming presidential election, the “Frontline” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) feature “Obama at War” examines the president’s options as he attempts to stem the rise of ISIS and quell the ongoing civil war in Syria without embroiling the U.S. military in a wider war involving ground troops.

It turns out, he was so shy he couldn’t make the call. Even after we began dating, it took him three years to ask me to marry him because he was so afraid I’d turn him down — even though we were only seeing each other and I loved him.

So, I’d like to tell her to hang in there. Her guy may be terribly shy and inexperienced, so be patient and take it slow. If he’s anything like my guy, he’ll be worth the wait.

Seeing Stars?

Wake Forest turns out more NBA All-Stars than Kansas

By Gary Bedore Twitter:@GaryBedore

Future Kansas University basketball guard LaGerald Vick ranks fifth in scoring on the Under Armour Association spring circuit following a productive weekend for Team Thad AAU in New York.

Vick, a 6-foot-5, 175-pound shooting guard from Memphis, Tennessee, who committed to KU on May 17, averaged 26.8 points in four games for 3-1 Team Thad, which has advanced to UAA’s season-ending Finals in July in Atlanta.

Through 12 games on the circuit, Vick has averaged 17.8 points off 50.3 percent shooting.

He has made 24 of 58 threes for 41.4 percent and 27 of 45 free throws for 60 percent.

He also has averaged 5.9 rebounds, with 19 assists against 18 turnovers.

“Kansas commit LaGerald Vick is a legit talent,” wrote Eric Bossi of Rivals.com, who attended the New York event. “The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is ranked at least 100 spots too low (he’s currently No. 137) if he decides to stick in the class of 2016 and should be considered as a talent in that range if he moves to 2015. He can create off the dribble, is quick and has deep range on his shot. Vick is quite thin and the lack of strength could be an early obstacle for him in the Big 12, but he’s an offensive talent,” Bossi added.

Vick is expected to announce soon his decision to reclassify to the Class of 2015 or stay in the Class of 2016.

“A final decision could be made mid- or late this week,” Team Thad coach Norton Hurd told Zagsblog. com.

DURING THE COMBINED 27 YEARS BILL SELF AND ROY WILLIAMS SERVED AS HEAD COACH of Kansas University’s basketball team, the Jayhawks have gone to six Final Fours, made four NCAA title-game appearances and won one national title. But KU has produced only one NBA All-Star, Paul Pierce.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

NBA Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins makes Self the favorite to have a second All-Star before Williams, not that the coaches compete on that level. Harrison Barnes, Markieff Morris and Joel Embiid also are candidates.

If two more Self players compete in the showcase event, Self will become the only Kansas coach to have three NBA All-Stars. Dick Harp coached Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Bridges, Phog Allen coached Clyde Lovellette, Manning played for Larry Brown, JoJo White for Please see KEEGAN, page 3D

Yankees wallop Guthrie, Royals, 14-1 New York (ap) — Brett Gardner got a little silly after hitting the Yankees’ third homer of the first inning, enthusiastically high-fiving his teammates as if he were trying to slap away the memory of a lost weekend of baseball.

A few big hits did the job just fine.

Gardner and Brian McCann each hit a three-run homer, and Chase Headley also connected during an eight-run first, and New York romped past the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals 14-1 Monday to end a six-game skid.

Stephen Drew added another three-run shot off Jeremy Guthrie (4-3) before New York made an out in the second.

More glowing reports on Vick

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Bill Self and Roy Williams, Kansas University’s only two basketball coaches for the past 27 years, combined for six Final Fours, four NCAA title-game appearances and one national title for KU. They have done so employing different coaching styles and personalities.

Self, from Edmond, Oklahoma, and Williams, from Marion, North Carolina, have at least one thing in common. Both men have coached more great basketball teams than super-loud basketball talents, a compliment to their ability to judge talent well in compiling deep rosters and in their ability to make the talent mesh.

Quickly, off the top of your head, offer a guess as to how many combined NBA AllStars Self and Williams have coached at Kansas.

The answer is ... not in this paragraph, because cheaters who peek do not get rewarded.

The answer is in this paragraph: One. Paul Pierce, who last played for KU in 1998, is KU’s only NBA All-Star since Danny Manning earned his second honor in the 199394 season. In Williams’ 27 years as a Div. I head coach, Pierce remains his lone NBA All-Star. In Self’s 22 years, including four at Oral Roberts and three apiece at Tulsa and Illinois, former Illini point guard Deron Williams is his only NBA All-Star.

Now more than ever, in the age of one-and-done, landing superstars isn’t as important as compiling depth, roster balance and flexibility.

Interestingly, during the combined Williams-Self eras, Wake Forest, not a consistent winning program, has had four NBA All-Stars (Tim Duncan, Josh Howard, Chris Paul and Jeff Teague).

“Overall, definitely a much-needed good feeling,” Gardner said.

Slade Heathcott hit his first major-league homer in the seventh as the Yankees bounced back from a sweep

by Texas. They won for just the second time in 12 games, beating the team that began the day with the best record in the majors.

“Is this real?” Heathcott said of what he was thinking as his ball headed toward the bleachers in right-center.

Guthrie entered 5-10 with a 4.92 ERA against the Yankees, mostly with Baltimore.

And this time he was awful.

Ballock, a 6-4, 175-pound shooting guard who is ranked No. 23 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, had a 30-point scoring game in one of his 12 spring games, sixth-highest output by a player in the Association.

Overall, he’s 41st in scoring at 10.4 points a game with 11 threes in 43 tries.

After a tourney in early May, Bossi wrote of Ballock: “After developing an early reputation as a shooter, the product of Eudora High has shown that he’s actually more of a creator off the dribble. Ballock is a strong athlete and very skilled as a ballhandler and passer.

Indianapolis — Juan Pablo Montoya earned $2,449,055 for his Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday.

The Colombian driver’s earnings were part of a $13,397,315 overall purse. The check amounts were announced at the annual victory banquet Monday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Runner-up Will Power earned $792,555, and Charlie Kimball, who finished third, earned $564,055.

Scott Dixon, who finished fourth after starting on the pole, earned $615,805.

Montoya’s victory comes 15 years after his Indy 500 win in 2000. He left IndyCar for Formula One and later struggled in NASCAR for seven years before making a return to IndyCar in 2014.

Montoya, who also won the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg to start the season, leads the IndyCar series standings.

NFL

Bears’ McDonald arrested, released San Francisco — The Chicago Bears have released defensive end Ray McDonald following a domestic-violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from him assaulting a woman who was holding a baby.

Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke reports that McDonald was arrested at 7 a.m. Monday on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment.

It was not immediately known if the woman or the baby were injured.

Bears General Manager Ryan Pace released a statement saying McDonald did not meet the expectations set out for him when he was signed.

His agent, Tom Condon, did not return calls for comment.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

UCLA top seed Omaha, Neb. — UCLA’s dominance in the Pac-12 this spring impressed the Division I Baseball Committee so much that the Bruins on Monday were awarded their first No. 1 national seed for the NCAA tournament.

The Bruins (42-14) edged out Southeastern Conference regular-season champion LSU (48-10) even though they lost two of three at Oregon in their last series.

The other six national seeds, in order, are: Louisville, Florida, Miami, Illinois, TCU and Missouri State.

Three Big 12 schools — tournament champion Texas, plus TCU and Oklahoma State — made the field.

The tournament opens Friday with 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals. Best-of-three super regionals are next week, with those winners moving to the College World Series in Omaha.

National seeds that win their regionals play at home in super regionals. Since the NCAA went to its current tournament format in 1999, only one No. 1 national seed — Miami in 1999 — has won the championship.

UCLA didn’t even make the tournament last year, following its 2013 national championship with an injury-riddled 25-30-1 season.

GOLDEN STATE GUARD STEPHEN CURRY (30) TOPPLES over Houston forward Trevor Ariza in the first half of the Rockets’ 128-115 victory Monday in Houston.

Warriors take a spill Houston (ap) — James Harden scored a playoff career-high 45 points and the Houston Rockets led from start to finish to avoid elimination in the Western Conference finals with a 128-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 on Monday night.

The Rockets used a playoff record-tying, 45-point first quarter to build a big lead.

They were up by 22 in the second quarter when Stephen Curry landed on his head in a nasty spill and missed about 12 minutes before returning.

His first field goal after returning came on a threepointer that got Golden State within six points with less than 8 1/2 minutes remaining. But Harden, who had 17 points in the fourth quarter, scored the next seven points as part of 10 straight by Houston to push the lead to 114-98.

Klay Thompson had 24 points and Curry added 23 for Golden State, which moved a win away from its first trip to the NBA Finals since 1975 after routing Houston 115-80 on Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in the series.

But the Warriors couldn’t put the Rockets away and will try again at home in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Houston bounced back from a 3-1 deficit to the Clippers in the conference semifinals. But they face a much bigger challenge in this series, as no team in NBA history has won a playoff series after trailing 3-0.

Dwight Howard had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and received a flagrant 1 foul early in the third quarter after throwing an elbow at Andrew Bogut’s head. He would be suspended by accumulation of flagrant foul points if the NBA upgrades it to a flagrant 2 after review.

The Warriors made 20 threepointers and Houston had 17 to set an NBA record for most three-pointers combined in a playoff game.

The Warriors used the Hack-A-Shaq technique on Josh Smith and got two three-

pointers from Curry to go on a 10-2 run to get within 10 with 4 minutes remaining. A dunk by Andre Iguodala got them within eight with about two minutes left, but Harden answered with a three to shut the door.

Houston led by 23 after one and a basket by Howard to start the second made it 47-22.

Four quick points by Thompson got Golden State within 55-36 when Curry was injured after he jumped in the air as Trevor Ariza was about to go up for a shot. Ariza saw him and stopped abruptly, causing Curry to be upended in midair when he crashed into Ariza’s shoulder. His head hit the court and it propelled him up and back onto the floor where he remained for several minutes.

Curry looked dazed as he was attended to before slowly getting up and walking off the court.

He was called for a foul on the play and Ariza made both shots to extend Houston’s lead to 57-36 with about six minutes until halftime.

Thompson picked up the slack with Curry out, hitting four three-pointers in a 23-9 run that get the Warriors within 66-59 with about 30 seconds left in the first half. But Terry hit a three as the shot clock expired to put Houston up 69-59 at halftime.

A putback dunk by Terrence Jones at the buzzer gave Houston a 15-point lead entering the fourth quarter. The Warriors opened the final period with an 11-3 run, capped by two threepointers by Thompson, to cut it to 102-95.

The Rockets led by nine when Curry re-entered the game midway through the third quarter just after coach Steve Kerr had received a technical foul. Harden got cooking after that with six straight points and nine overall in a 15-2

spurt that pushed the lead to 93-71 with three minutes left in the quarter. Harden sank two three-pointers in that span and revved up the crowd with his stirring the pot gesture.

Curry shot an airball on his first shot after returning and his second try was blocked by Jones.

The Warriors used a 10-1 run, that included a free throw by Curry, to cut the lead to 94-81.

The Rockets jumped out to a 12-0 lead thanks to eight points

by Josh Smith and five straight missed shots by the Warriors to start the game. Smith’s hot shooting continued throughout the quarter and he made all five shots, including three 3-pointers, he attempted in the period.

But he wasn’t the only one on fire, the Rockets made 17 of 22 shots overall in the quarter and were an astounding 8-of-9 from three-point range to lead 45-22 entering the second. Houston’s 45 points tied a franchise record for points in a quarter in the playoffs that had stood since 1980.

Tip ins Warriors: Shaun Livingston started the second half in place of Curry and finished with four points. ... Draymond Green had 21 points before fouling out in the fourth quarter.

Rockets: This was Harden’s fifth game this postseason with at least 30 points. ... All of Houston’s starters scored at least 10 points.

For the 15th-seeded Williams, it was her second opening defeat in three years at Roland Garros.

It also was the fifth time in the last 13 Grand Slam tournaments she’s entered that she exited in the first round. Before that stretch, it happened once in 37 majors.

Williams didn’t show up for a news conference, meaning she could face a fine. Instead, she

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

issued a five-sentence statement that read in part: “When you arrive at any tournament, you hope you will have a chance to work your way into the event, but I didn’t have that opportunity — she just played better than me today.”

That is true.

The 40th-ranked Stephens, who has reached the French Open’s fourth round the last three years, was consistently strong from the baseline, making only 14 unforced errors to Williams’ 30.

Local golfers in an excited state

By Bobby Nightengale Twitter: @nightengalejr

Fresh off a regional championship, Lawrence High boys golfers have refused to relax. They still have work to do at the Class 6A state golf tournament.

The Lions will begin teeing off at 10 a.m. today at Carey Park in Hutchinson. Free State’s boys golf team, which took third at regionals to qualify for state, will start at 9:30 a.m.

After winning their first tournament of the season, the Lions hope to bring back more hardware with a strong finish at state.

Their goal is a topthree finish, and despite the tall task, they’re up for the challenge.

“We have one left in us,” said Brent Cahwee, Lawrence’s lone senior.

“They’re all playing for me, so I hope we do well. ... I went (to state) my sophomore year, and it was a blast. To end my high school career going to state, it’s just a wonderful experience.”

Cahwee is the only LHS golfer with state tournament experience, but the rest of the Lions — Cole Brungardt, Dawson Dykes, Braxton Olson, Jack Ryan and Garrett Wildeman — have been focused on making the most of their first trip to the state tournament.

LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE GARRETT WILDEMAN WATCHES his drive from the tee box of the first hole during the 6A golf regionals, May 18, at Alvamar Golf Course. LHS and Free State golfers are competing at the state tournament today in Hutchinson.

“I’m pretty sure we’ve been at the course every single day,” Cahwee said.

“We’re ready for this.

We’re hoping for a big day.”

“Pretty excited for my first time going,” Olson said. “I’m getting pretty nervous. But I’m going to enjoy the moment.

“I want to go low 70s.

That would be my goal. I just have to get off the tee box with my driver, and then I think I can make it happen.”

The Lions have been led this season by Dykes, Brungardt, Olson and Wildeman. They have posted the top LHS scores at each tourna-

ment, and they hope they saved their best for last.

“The top four haven’t put a really good round up yet,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “It’s out there.

It’s just a matter of time until they do it. I hope it’s (today) and not in 2016.”

“I wouldn’t put anything past them,” Wedd added. “They’re a very determined group. They are capable of it. The course kind of plays to their strengths. It’s not unbelievably difficult.

Someone is going to get hot, and they haven’t been hot yet to where they could be. All four of them are capable of 77, 78 and 79. You bunch that

der Armour circuit. He has had a 41-point game, tops in three events, and overall is second in scoring at 19.2 ppg.

Jackson, a 6-7 senior-tobe shooting guard from Prolific Prep in Napa, California, scored 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for Detroit One Nation on Sunday in a victory that assured his team a spot in the Finals. Jackson has KU on his early list of schools.

“Despite struggling with his jump shot for much of the spring, Jackson was on target Sunday. He hit from deep, he hit from mid-

range and then he used his explosive athleticism to finish with emphatic slams.

As much as he can do offensively and in the open floor, Jackson is also a leader. He communicates with his teammates and he is a fiery competitor who is every bit as good defensively as he is any other aspect of the game,” Bossi wrote. l

Up-and-coming player: The leading scorer on the Under Armour circuit is not yet ranked.

up, and you may bring home something.”

The Firebirds have struggled in the past few weeks but hope they can put some of those errant shots and bad putts behind them.

“They’re pretty pumped up,” FSHS coach Matt Gudenkauf said.

“We just finished a practice round. Hopefully the weather holds. The course is obviously pretty wet. The course isn’t the nicest of all things, but it’s very scoreable, and I think they kind of felt the same way and have high expectations.”

Free State has been led by junior Jack Flynn, who took second individually at regionals, and sophomore Jack Junge this season. Both were the team’s only state participants last year.

The Firebirds also hope to get strong rounds from seniors Coleman Houk, Matt Siler and Daniel Clarke and freshman Tate Steele.

“Everybody is kind of on an even playing field here. Not many schools have played it,” Gudenkauf said. “I think, too, this course is more of a traditional Kansas course. ... The greens are a lot faster. The wind usually isn’t as big of a factor as it is out here. It kind of changes the whole game up a little bit.

“What will we see (today)? I don’t know, but I feel pretty good about it.”

Texas, who goes by the nickname “Killa Kam” averages 23.0 points a game off 49.5 percent shooting. He has made 11 of 43 threes for 25.6 percent.

McGusty, who plays for the Houston Defenders, is being recruited by Oklahoma, Texas and others.

“At 6-foot-5 he can really create off the dribble, is aggressive and is among the best in the class at moving without the ball. He’s made a play to move into at least the top 75 in 2016 and is maybe even pushing for top 50 status,” wrote Bossi.

Guthrie, who started Game 7 of the World Series last year, became only the eighth pitcher to give up four homers before getting four outs, according to research going back to 1914 by STATS. The right-hander also became the third starter to give up at least 11 runs while recording three outs or less, STATS said.

“He didn’t have it,” manager Ned Yost said.

“They were just on everything he threw.”

Nathan Eovaldi (4-1) pitched with runners on in all but two of his sevenplus innings. Working on five days’ rest, he allowed eight hits and a run.

The Yankees were outscored 30-15 in a demoralizing three-game series against Texas. Their loss Sunday night dropped them to .500 for the first time since they were 7-7.

They started afresh in a flash.

Gardner led off with a double on Guthrie’s second pitch. Headley sent the next offering deep into the right-field bleachers.

Alex Rodriguez singled and Mark Teixeira walked before McCann hit a liner to right that Paulo Orlando nearly caught with an impressive leap at the wall.

After two outs, Didi Gregorius was hit by a pitch and Heathcott singled. Gardner then connected for an 8-0 lead.

“It was nice because we’ve been through some tough losses, we’ve been through some ugly losses, and to be able to get that type of lead was really nice,” manager Joe Girardi said.

Drew hit his fifth homer in the second. Guthrie just held the new ball out as Yost walked to the mound to lift him.

Trainer’s room Royals: LHP Danny Duffy was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 17, because of left biceps tendinitis.

He will be eligible for reinstatement on June 1. ... OF Alex Rios (broken hand) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha.

Yankees: OF Carlos Beltran was out of the starting lineup for the second straight day because of flu-like symptoms.

Rare rookies Jacob Lindgren made his big league debut for New York, coming in to relieve Eovaldi in the eighth. The left-hander is just the third player from last year’s draft to reach the majors.

When Lindgren entered the game, he joined Deion Sanders as the only two Yankees to make their debuts within a year of being drafted.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Hamilton rusty in return The Associated Press

American League Rangers 10, Indians 8 Cleveland — Josh Hamilton was hitless in his return to the majors, but reached on a key error that sent Texas over Cleveland on Monday for a sixth straight win.

Hamilton, slowed this season by shoulder surgery, was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk, and scored a run.

The 2010 AL MVP came up with runners on first and second and two outs in the seventh inning with the score 8-all. He hit an easy tapper back to pitcher Zach McAllister, whose throw was well over the head of first baseman Carlos Santana for a two-base error.

adopt-a-pet Gracie rose

When you’re an 11 year old cat and you’re looking for a new home, the Lawrence Humane Society is the place to go. Gracie Rose heard this and decided to come hang out with us.

She is a beautiful cream gray tortoiseshell and is looking for a quiet home where she can relax. She would love to have you spoil her with lots of affection, soft beds and sunny windows. Come meet her today.

Tundra

The only thing Tundra has in common with the “Arctic Tundra” is her size.

She is a big girl at almost 70 lbs. and takes up some space. She is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a red and white coat. There is nothing cold or frozen about this young lady. She is happy and interactive with anyone willing to visit. Take your family on an adventure to meet Tundra today.

azura

Azura is a gorgeous Domestic Long Hair with a soft all gray coat. She is 5 years old and has plenty of time on her paws to hang out with you. She came in with her friend Cora, so if you are looking for a pair, they would be a perfect fit. Azura is the more affectionate of the two and tends to watch over her friend. Come meet these sweet bookends and see what you think.

yasmin

Sometimes being little in this big world can be overwhelming.

Yasmin has first hand knowledge. She is a shy little Chihuahua mix with a white and tan coat and being in the shelter with all of the big dogs, and the noise, can give a girl pause. She would like to be in a nice quiet home where her little heart can relax and be the love of your life. She’s 8 years old and is ready to settle in.

bluebeard

Once upon a time, in the fair land of France, there was a very powerful lord and his name was Bluebeard. Wait. This isn’t France. Then how did Bluebeard come to be at the shelter? He came in as a stray, so your guess is as good as mine. Being a Lhasa Apso mix, he isn’t as big as he thinks, but as they say, attitude is everything and he has lots of that. Oh, and his beard is white.

bonnie

As we age, our priorities change. The same goes for animals. Little 12 year old Bonnie was not ready to share her space with the new little human in the house. It was decided that she should come here to find a home where she can be the center of attention. She is a cream grey (Siamese) mix and weighs in at almost 7 lbs. She would be happy to share your home with you and maybe some older kids.

Gomez

Gomez was one of the dogs who was lucky enough to get to see the inside of the K-State mobile vet trailer. He wasn’t sure about all the hubbub, but he came out a new man. He is a 1 year old Chinese Sharpei mix and is as cute as can be.

He has settled in here at the shelter but would be happy to make a name for himself in your home. Come meet him today.

Pumba

Pumba is looking for a full time job. He is an Australian Cattle Dog mix and would love to help you keep everything in order. A little training on your part and you could have a great new employee. He is young (10 months) and willing to learn the ropes. After a few months, you might wonder how you ever got along without his help. Do you have a job in mind for this guy?

Can’t adopt? then please donate!

Call, e-mail or Come Visit! help us help them!

maddee

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my oh my look at this beauty.

Maddee is a Domestic Short Hair with black red and white calico markings. She is currently residing at the Lawrence Petco and would love to have you come and meet her. If you have another cat, we always encourage adopters to keep the new cat separate while they are getting used to their new home and housemates.

Tilly

Tilly is beside herself with excitement. She is hoping there is a family out there who wants a 9 year old German Shepherd mix.

Her coat is mostly black and she is a large lady.

She has a love for all creatures great and small, except for cats. Cats are not her friend, but she does well with livestock. Are you ready to bring this lovely lady home and give her the life she has been longing for?

Garmin

Garmin didn’t get lost, she is exactly where she is supposed to be right now.

That doesn’t mean she isn’t willing to relocate.

She is a 4 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a black brown brindle coat and has great aspirations of finding the ideal family to move in with and make her own. She is available for meet and greets every day starting at 11:30 through 5:30 pm. Come by and say hi.

Tyra

We know quite a few things about Tyra. She is cute. We also know that she is almost 2 years old and is a Boxer mix. She was adopted, but had to come back because the other dog in the house wasn’t pleased at having a new roommate.

Her previous adopter says she is an awesome dog. She is mostly white with a pretty brown patch on her face.

Come learn even more about her.

Looking for something to do this summer?

Sign up for the next Volunteer Orientation on June 20th/9-10 am to find out how to help the animals at the shelter. You can sign up at Lawrencehumane.org/volunteer.

Adoption Hours: Tues.-Fri. 11:30am - 6:00pm, until 7:00pm Thurs., Sat.-Mon. 11:30am - 4:00pm 1805 East 19th Street | Lawrence, Kansas 66046 785-843-6835 | www.lawrencehumane.org www.facebook.com/lawrencehumane

neo

See this pretty lady. You really need to meet her.

She is one of the sweetest 9 year old Pit Bull Terrier mixes you will ever know.

She has been our Kissing Booth pup on several occasions and raised her fair share of donations for said kisses. Whether you are retired and looking for a buddy, or you are looking for a family dog, please don’t overlook this pretty girl. All those kisses could be yours.
