Brownback plan built on sales tax increase

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas would eliminate income taxes for 388,000 poor residents and raise taxes for business owners under proposals Republican Gov. Sam Brownback outlined Saturday to push lawmakers

toward boosting sales and cigarette taxes to close a budget shortfall.

Brownback’s plan would raise $428 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1, a little more than what’s needed to close the budget gap. A majority of the new dollars would come from increasing the sales

tax to 6.65 percent from 6.15 percent and the cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack, to $1.29 from 79 cents. The governor previously

were on a successful path to recovery — taught Blevins how to change, and also gave him a new avocation.

“I became a student of recovery,” Blevins says.

“Why do people recover?

What does it take to get people in a mindset to recover? I wanted to see how to intercede before they get to the tragedies of their life.”

For some, that means a stop at the Lawrence Community Shelter, the 125-bed homeless shelter on the eastern edge of the city. Blevins took over as director of the shelter on Dec. 26. But he’s been a part of the shelter for much longer.

He’s been an employee in various capacities since 2007. He was a frequent volunteer before that, serving as part of the construction crew that did the renovation work on the original shelter downtown. The volunteer work fit his skill set well. He was in the home improvement business — the hammer and saw type — before he got a degree in substanceabuse counseling, which has been known to improve a home as well.

As executive director of the shelter, Blevins has found he has to be a student of more than just recovery. A little bit of accounting knowledge comes in handy too, although knowledge of alchemy would be even better.

“The most challenging part of this job is funding,” Blevins says without hesitation. “Trying to keep your mind on funding what we have rather than what we want is a trick, too.”

Blevins says finances for 2015 currently are about $150,000 short. He said the shelter continues to seek additional donations from the public to make the shelter’s approximately $1 million operating budget work, but he said funding requests to the city and the county are likely.

He thinks he’ll have a good case to make, if that time comes. Since he’s taken over, work has begun on converting vacant space in the shelter into a “career center.” The space will include classroom areas and computers donated from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where shelter guests can learn some key employment skills.

The shelter is collaborating with both the Lawrence Public Schools and Kansas University on instructors for the space.

Blevins said the onsite training is a shift from a previous philosophy where the shelter tried to send guests to other such

programs in town.

“We get a lot better accountability if it happens here rather than us giving them a bus pass,” Blevins says.

Accountability is a bigger concept at the shelter than some people may think. Blevins did not hesitate when asked about the biggest misconception people have of the shelter.

“I think a lot of people have this image of us being tree-hugging dirt worshipers,” Blevins says. “I came into this business as a conservative Republican. I suppose it does get mixed with some liberal ideas too. I think the mixture allows us to help people better. There is a fine line in the sand between enabling someone and helping someone.”

Blevins says the shelter’s employment program is paying dividends, too. He hired a new employment director in January — a young Kansas University economics graduate — who is using new strategies to find work for eligible shelter guests. He has stopped using temporary employment agencies and instead has begun seeking out more permanent positions from the beginning. The shelter also is taking advantage of a federal bonding program that gives employers an incentive to hire convicted felons. If the employee acts improperly and causes damage to a business, the bond kicks in to cover the company’s losses.

Blevins says the average employment rate of eligible shelter guests is now about 70 percent, which is up from about 25 percent previously.

“There are some good jobs in this town,” Blevins says, mentioning several employers, including some who are in the East Hills Business Park right across the highway from the shelter.

“Amarr Garage Doors hires quite a few. That is hard work, but they pay a good wage, and they’re willing to take a chance.

We love people who will do that.”

But mainly what Blevins loves is recovery. He’s not the type, though, who talks about a lot of steps or other such mechanisms. Remember what he said he found when he finally recovered? Good people.

Making the shelter be a place where you can find good people is a big part of the equation.

“What it boils down to is the environment,” Blevins says. “If you give somebody a good environment to heal in, then you can employ the social service agencies and the other tools to help them get better. But it has to start with the environment.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld Having the additional space of the 125-bed shelter — which replaced the shelter’s cramped downtown quarters in late 2012 — has done wonders for the environment and reduced the stress levels of guests, Blevins says.

But that’s only one part of the environment. The other is not quite as easy to build.

“We definitely have people come in here who clearly don’t care about getting a job or about getting mental health care or about anything else,” Blevins says.

“Some people see that person as someone who just doesn’t care. But what I see is somebody who fought tooth and nail against being here, and now they have come to accept nothing can change.

“What I believe wholeheartedly is that there is nobody who comes into this shelter who wants to be here.”

Seeing people leave the shelter on the right terms makes the job rewarding, Blevins says.

Getting a note — like a recent one from a former shelter guest who recently finished his college degree and has been in recovery for six years — is rewarding too. Big life stuff happens here.

But in this business there are even minute moments that can leave an outsized impression.

Blevins remembers one from his early days as a student of recovery.

He was sitting in on a counseling session where role-playing was being used. It involved a patient full of anger toward his father, but for reasons that weren’t accurate or logical. For whatever reason, the role-playing exercise had flipped that switch and helped the patient understand it wasn’t his father’s fault.

Blevins remembers seeing the tension in the man’s face leave. He remembers hearing the tone of his voice change, the posture of his body relax. And it all happened from one minute to the next, right there as the three men sat around the table.

No, it doesn’t happen every time. But if you see it happen once, you’ll never forget it.

“Seeing a miracle happen in someone’s life is the single greatest joy anyone could hope to see,” Blevins says. “I just sat there and watched the hate leave him.”

A true change — and a good reminder that a broken turn signal shouldn’t stop a turnaround.

No Ebola for KU Hospital patient Kansas City, Kan. — A Kansas University Hospital patient who recently traveled to Sierra Leone does not have Ebola, according to a Saturday news release.

The hospital had said Friday evening that the man had been admitted for testing but was considered at very low risk for the virus.

He did test positive for malaria Saturday but was responding well to treatment, the hospital added.

Sierra Leone and neighboring Guinea have been experiencing a widespread Ebola outbreak for more than a year. Earlier this month, the Ebola outbreak was declared over in another neighboring country, Liberia.

City to weigh code changes for pet businesses

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

After two fires at two pet businesses within the past six months killed animals and heavily damaged buildings, Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer said city commissioners will discuss code provisions at their meeting this week.

On Monday, a fire at Pet World, 711 W. 23rd St., charred much of the

business and killed numerous animals, including a number of customers’ boarded pets, while the store was closed for Memorial Day. The owners of the pet store have declined to publicly disclose the number of animals killed in the fire.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical officials ruled the fire accidental Thursday and said that “an electrical event in the main breaker panel�

caused it. They estimated damages to be around $500,000.

On Nov. 29, 2014, an accidental fire at Christal K-9, 3115 W. Sixth St., killed at least three of the 23 dogs boarded at the pet services business during Thanksgiving weekend and injured even more, the Journal-World reported in December.

Fire officials determined that a motor froze inside

proposed increasing tobacco and alcohol taxes and said he was open to increasing the sales tax.

Disagreements among Republicans on tax issues have made the GOPdominated Legislature’s annual session one of the longest in state history, at 100 days as of Saturday.

The governor offered his new plan after he had said earlier in the week that he would let legislators draft their own solutions.

“I thought it was time to put something out,” Brownback said at a news conference.

The state’s budget problems arose after the GOP-dominated Legislature slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging as an economic stimulus.

Republican lawmakers are considering increases in business, sales, cigarette and even gasoline taxes but remain sharply divided.

Republicans in both chambers reviewed the governor’s plan Saturday, and their discussions were expected to continue today. But it wasn’t clear whether either chamber would debate and vote upon tax issues.

House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, said “with some tweaking” the governor’s plan “could probably work.”

“The sales tax might be a little hefty, but it’s within shooting distance,” Merrick said.

Brownback’s new proposal to end income taxes for some individuals earning up to $17,250 a year and couples earning up to $24,500 is an idea legislators haven’t considered.

It would save those taxpayers $19 million during the next fiscal year — an average of about $49 a year. Some legislators questioned whether the increase in the sales tax would be greater for those taxpayers than the income tax break.

Lawmakers have debated backtracking on a 2012 policy that allowed 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers to avoid

It was called the “gutand-go.” One chamber, either the House or Senate, takes a minor bill that has already been passed by the other chamber. The second chamber “amends” the bill by completely stripping out its contents and inserting an entirely different bill — usually something much more significant than the original bill — then sends it back to the original chamber to accept or reject.

All the other chamber can do is accept the bill as it is, with no opportunity for amendment, or vote to reject the bill and request a conference committee. And there, a small handful of legislators from both chambers can negotiate a compromise that gets sent to both chambers for an up or down vote — again, no opportunity for amendments.

That process, once considered unusual, and even extreme, has now become the norm in the Kansas Legislature, and it is being used on some of the most significant legislation of the year.

In fact, Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat who has been keeping track of the gut-and-go bills this year, said it’s been used on the majority of bills going through the House, where House members are only asked to accept or reject the Senate’s position on a bill.

“I’d say 55-60 percent of them,” Ward said.

Area lawmakers react to Brownback’s tax plan Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence “The Governor’s proposed budget is really just more of the same — it continues this administration’s attempt to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the middle class. While it does include a couple of small steps in the right the direction, it still relies almost entirely on a sales tax increase and on temporary fixes like a one-time tax ‘amnesty.’ It keeps almost all of income tax exemption for passthrough entities, which was sold as a ‘small business’ tax break, but in reality 83% of the benefit goes to the biggest 6.5% of the filers who claim the exemption and 42% goes to less than 1% of them.

income taxes on their profits. Brownback’s proposal would be a small move in that direction but less than legislators had considered.

A proposal before the House would raise $101 million during the next fiscal year by re-taxing business profits, and a plan the Senate rejected would have raised $82 million.

Brownback’s business tax plan would raise just $24 million.

Kansas cut personal income tax rates in 2012 and 2013, and the exemption for business owners and farmers is expected to save them up to $220 million

during the next fiscal year if lawmakers preserve it.

Critics argue the exemption is unfair because business owners escape income taxes while employees’ wages remain taxed.

Democratic Sen. Tom Holland, of Baldwin City, immediately dismissed the governor’s businesstax proposal as a “fig leaf.” Republican Rep. Mark Hutton of Wichita said Brownback’s proposal is structured so that businesses easily could use accounting maneuvers to still avoid taxes.

“That’s a bogus deal,” he said.

But officials with the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business said Saturday that their groups would find the governor’s proposal acceptable after they lobbied hard to preserve it.

“This is better than most of the plans we’re seeing out there,” chamber President and CEO Mike O’Neal said.

Lawmakers’ proposals for increasing the cigarette tax have hovered around the 50 cent-perpack increase Brownback is proposing.

GOP legislators have debated proposals to increase the sales tax to as much as 7.15 percent, and GOP senators floated a proposal Saturday to raise it to 6.95 percent.

Some don’t think there’s enough support to go above 6.5 percent.

Only eight states have rates above 6.5 percent.

Republican Sen. Greg Smith of Overland Park said he wants to eliminate some of the dozens of exemptions to the tax instead of increasing the rate, a position other GOP senators have taken.

Possibly the most significant of those bills is the state budget. The House has actually never voted on a budget bill.

But the Senate voted on one and put it into a House bill, and that bill is now pending in a conference committee.

Another gut-and-go bill repealed the school finance formula and replaced it with a series of block grants.

Ward said he thinks the reasons are clear: “To avoid amendments; to avoid debate; to avoid the process working.”

final bill that comes out.

House Minority Leader Rep. Tom Burroughs of Kansas City said he believed it was important to move the process along to end the session.

But not all Democrats went along with the plan, including Rep. Boog Highberger of Lawrence.

“I was really disappointed with what happened with the tax bill,” he said. “We voted to have essentially four people in the House and Senate make the decision on the tax bill that the rest of us can vote up or down. I think that’s really bad process.”

cratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka. “Or you could call it short-circuiting the process, however you want to call it.”

Hensley tried to shortcircuit the maneuver by offering a substitute motion. Instead of sending the shell of a bill into conference, he asked to concur in the House amendment and send the bill to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The bill did have a few minor tax measures in it, including Brownback’s plan to offer limited amnesty for people with past-due balances to pay their back taxes without interest or penalty. It also included authority for Douglas County to put a half-cent sales tax issue on a ballot to fund expansion of the county jail.

cess on the tax bill would fall apart.

But after a brief recess — and a tumultuous caucus meeting among Senate Republicans — conservatives came back and agreed to send the shell bill to conference committee.

Meanwhile, moments after the Senate agreed to use the gut-and-go process, Brownback — who had previously said he was not proposing any tax plan of his own, but was conferring with legislative leaders — said that he would soon announce his own tax proposal.

He unveiled his plan, which calls for a sales tax increase and fewer income tax deductions, on Saturday morning.

‘Gotcha’ votes Republican leaders don’t deny that they want to avoid amendments.

But they do deny that it is unfair, or that it stifles full and open debate.

“Specifically when it comes to tax policy, it really isn’t the sort of discussion you should have out on the floor, putting all the pieces together, especially with this kind of money that needs to be done,” said House Taxation Committee Chairman Rep. Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park.

Kleeb said during a Republican caucus meeting Thursday that he specifically wanted to avoid what he called “gotcha votes” — that is, votes on amendments that have no chance of passing, but become fodder for an opponent’s campaign postcards in the next election.

In the House, many Democrats actually supported the procedural move last week to put an empty shell bill into conference committee, even though most will probably vote against the

Back and forth On Thursday, enough conservative Republicans voted against the plan that it failed on the first attempt. But GOP House leaders met with conservatives later that night and convinced enough of them to change their minds by Friday morning.

On the Senate side, however, Democrats were in no mood to cooperate. And at first, neither were the conservatives.

“I’ve never seen this circumvention of the process done as much as it has been done this year,” said Senate Demo-

Varying agendas Conservative Republicans have opposed the process, too, in part because many of them do not want any tax increases, while others don’t want to consider any increases in income or business taxes. And at first, it looked as though enough conservative senators were willing to support Hensley’s motion that the “gut-and-go” pro-

accompany anyone under 4 years of age. Adults may also purchase lunch for $3.45 and breakfast for $2.15.

Johnson said the program helps reduce childhood hunger during the summer months when the need is the greatest.

Last year, the program served 8,739 breakfasts and 35,358 lunches throughout the summer.

While that sounds like a lot, Johnson said, she knows many of those served are repeat kids, and there are others who could benefit.

“We just know that we need to reach more,” she said.

The new site, with its proximity to the Outdoor Aquatic Center and the Lawrence Public Library, is aimed at getting more preteens and teens to take part in the program, Johnson said.

“We’re trying to go to where the kids are,” she explained.

Lawrence Public Schools’ Food Service Department organizes the program and prepares, serves and delivers the food. Menus are available on the department’s website.

The program is administered by both federal and state agencies. Locally, the program is sponsored by: Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, City of Lawrence Parks & Recreation, K-State Research and Extension-Douglas County, Lawrence Public Library, Lawrence Public Schools Food Service Department, Just Food and LiveWell.

Where to go Three sites serve both breakfast and lunch. All of them are open weekdays from Monday through July 24, and serve breakfast from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“The way the county administrator has instructed Jim Sherman is that it is totally his discretion in how he interprets what the law is,” Orlowski said. “We totally disagree with that.”

Orlowski said if the county doesn’t plan to enforce the codes, then there probably is no need for the construction board.

“If you are not going to consider anything we say, and you are going to run and do whatever you want and have the support of the County Commission, what is the point of having the oversight committee?” he asked.

The Kobach case In 2013, Kobach told the county’s Kobach codes department that he was planning to build a 2,250-squarefoot steel barn on his 159 acres. Kobach signed an affidavit stating the building would be used only for agricultural purposes and would not be “a place for human habitation,” “a place of employment” or “a place used by the public.”

The county gave Kobach an agricultural use designation, which

means Kobach didn’t have to meet more stringent residential building codes. Ultimately, the owner spends less on construction and pays lower property taxes for an agricultural building than a residence or business.

But in spring 2015, a county inspector found Kobach was building a 1,250-square-foot, twobedroom living space inside the barn. The inspector wrote in his report that he had found numerous violations.

At Weinaug’s direction, Sherman pulled the inspector and took over the case.

He issued Kobach an occupancy permit even though Kobach did not have an approved water source and the plumbing beneath the concrete foundation had not been inspected. Kobach also did not have to pay a mandatory fine for beginning construction without a permit. In the Kobach case, that fine would have been $700, based on the $70,000 valuation of the building suggested by Kobach and accepted

by Sherman.

Kobach paid $700 for a building permit and would have paid $1,400 with the fine.

Later, the county appraiser determined that the building’s value was $145,000.

Friend tempted to out man to his wife as gay Dear Annie: While traveling across town one afternoon, I got caught in traffic and decided to take a shortcut through a rather seedy part of our town.

While stopped at a red light, I noticed my best friend’s husband entering a well-known gay bathhouse. He didn’t see me, but I also recognized his car and surfboard parked on the adjacent street. I texted my friend and casually asked what her husband might be doing, and she said, “He’s gone surfing for a couple of hours.�

I have suspected this man’s sexual orientation for years and have broached the subject with my friend in the past. But she seems to think it’s out of the question because they have two grown children.

A pointless, perturbed Fox cartoon Fox introduces “Golan the Insatiable� (8:30 p.m.) to its animation block. Like many unwanted shows, it answers a question nobody was asking: What if we combined the wonder of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are� with the occult horror of Sam Raimi’s 1981 shocker “The Evil Dead�? This cultural collision is curious, but not really amusing.

Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation�) provides the disenchanted voice of a lonely 9-year-old goth girl n a m e d D y l a n .

After discovering a book of spells in the rat-infested cellar of her mother’s workplace, she accidentally summons the cruel god Golan (Rob Riggle, “21 Jump Street�) from a parallel dimension.

For all of his bluster, Golan is more of a glib party animal than an evil destroyer. And Dylan doesn’t actually want him to dismember and drink the blood of every pretty girl in her grammar school. But they both talk a good game.

For decades, the makers of cartoons as different as “Toy Story� and “The Simpsons� have hooked viewers with characters whose words, aspirations and actions are credible and, even in their craziest moments, emotionally honest and moving.

But there are only crazy moments in “Golan� and very little in the way of real stakes or genuine emotion. To take Dylan’s words and actions seriously is to enter into the world of a dangerously damaged and violent child. And to do so for laughs is callous in the extreme. Golan is a wisecracking monster who isn’t terribly monstrous, wise or all that interesting.

Another reason for chronic napping is depression. Ask your husband to consider this possibility and talk to his doctor about a referral to a therapist if his medical tests are otherwise OK. These problems don’t clear up on their own, so we hope your husband is willing to address his sleep issues with an open mind.

EDITORIALS

Off the track The messy budget process has left many Kansans wondering who will show some reasonable leadership for the state.

W

atching the Kansas Legislature work on the state budget this year has been a little like watching two trains barreling down the same track toward one another. You hope one or both of them will realize they’re headed toward a catastrophe and find a way to switch to another track but, at the rate they’re going, you wonder whether they will put on the brakes in time to avoid a devastating collision.

To carry the train analogy a little further, it seems that a lot of the problem stems from a struggle among various engineers over who has control of the locomotives. Conservative Republicans hold large majorities in both the Kansas House and Senate, but leaders of factions within the conservative GOP ranks in both houses are grappling over control of the throttle.

But enough about trains. Regardless of how the state budget is resolved, the situation in the Kansas Legislature already qualifies as a train wreck, largely because of a leadership void in state government.

To be sure, there are many Republican legislators who want to be leaders, but too many of them don’t care about providing stable leadership for the state as a whole. They are more interested in playing to their anti-tax supporters than in resolving the state’s financial crisis.

Their main goal is to be able to put the blame on someone else for any tax increases that may be necessary to meet the state’s obligations.

Democratic and moderate Republican legislators have mostly watched from the sidelines, as had Gov. Sam Brownback until Saturday, when he outlined a revised plan for tax increases to balance the budget. It remains to be seen whether the governor’s plan, which includes increased cigarette and sales taxes but leaves mostly intact the income tax exemption for about 330,000 businesses and farmers, will help break the legislative impasse or deepen the divide.

Brownback and others are worried about the political fallout from their anti-tax supporters in Kansas and those across the nation who are watching the Kansas “experiment.” Pulling back on business income tax exemptions would be viewed as an admission that the strategy to boost the state economy by phasing out state income tax isn’t working.

In the meantime, Kansans are wondering who will stand up for the future of Kansas — not election contributors, political think tanks or special interest groups, but Kansas as a whole. Legislators agreed to work through the weekend so there’s a chance that by the time you read this, some reasonable leadership and a solid path to a balanced budget may have emerged. We hope so, but even if it has, this year’s budget process has been an unsettling embarrassment for the state.

Washington — Commencement season brings a respite from the sinister childishness rampant on campuses. Attacks on freedom of speech come from the professoriate, that herd of independent minds, and from the ever-thickening layer of university administrators who keep busy constricting freedom in order to fine-tune campus atmospherics.

The attacks are childish because they infantilize students who flinch from the intellectual free-for-all of adult society. When Brown

George Will

“

On campuses, the right of free speech has been supplanted by an entitlement to what Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education calls a right to freedom from speech deemed uncongenial.”

University’s tranquility of conformity was threatened by a woman speaker skeptical about the “rape culture” on campuses, students planned a “safe space” for those who would be traumatized by exposure to skepticism. Judith Shulevitz, writing in The New York Times, reported that the space had “cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies.”

The attack on free expression is sinister because it asserts that such freedom is not merely unwise but, in a sense, meaningless. Free speech is more comprehensively and aggressively embattled now than ever before in American history, largely because of two 19thcentury ideas. One is that history — actually, History,

a proper noun — has a mind of its own. The other is that most people do not really have minds of their own.

Progressives frequently disparage this or that person or idea as “on the wrong side of history.”

They regard history as an autonomous force with its own laws of unfolding development: Progress is wherever history goes.

This belief entails disparagement of human agency — or at least that of most people, who do not understand history’s implacable logic and hence do not get on history’s “right side.”

Such people are crippled by “false consciousness.”

Fortunately, a saving clerisy, a vanguard composed of the understanding few, know where history is going and how to help it get there.

One way to help is by molding the minds of young people. The molders believe that the sociology of knowledge demonstrates that most people do not make up their minds, “society” does this. But progressive minds can be furnished for them by controlling the promptings from the social environment. This can be done by making campuses into hermetically sealed laboratories.

In “The Promise of American Life” (1909), progressivism’s canonical text, Herbert Croly said, “The average American individual is morally and intellectually inadequate to a serious and consistent conception of his

responsibilities as a democrat.” National life should be “a school,” with the government as the stern but caring principal: “The exigencies of such schooling frequently demand severe coercive measures, but what schooling does not?” “Unregenerate citizens” can be saved “many costly perversions, in case the official school-masters are wise, and the pupils neither truant nor insubordinate.” For a survey of today’s campus coercions, read Kirsten Power’s “The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech.”

In “Kindly Inquisitors” (1993), Jonathan Rauch showed how attacks on the free market in speech undermine three pillars of American liberty. They subvert democracy, the culture of persuasion by which we decide who shall wield legitimate power. (Progressives advocate government regulation of the quantity, content and timing of political campaign speech.) The attacks undermine capitalism — markets registering the freely expressed choices by which we allocate wealth.

And the attacks undermine science, which is how we decide what is true. (Note progressives’ insistence that the science about this or that is “settled.”)

For decades, much academic ingenuity has been devoted to jurisprudential theorizing to evade the First Amendment’s majestic simplicity about “no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.” We are urged

to “balance” this freedom against competing, and putatively superior, considerations such as individual serenity, institutional tranquility or social improvement.

On campuses, the right of free speech has been supplanted by an entitlement to what Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education calls a right to freedom from speech deemed uncongenial. This entitlement is buttressed by “trigger warnings” against spoken “microaggressions” that lacerate the delicate sensibilities of individuals who are encouraged to be exquisitely, paralyzingly sensitive.

In a booklet for the “Encounter Broadside” series, Lukianoff says “sensitivitybased censorship” on campus reflects a broader and global phenomena. It is the demand for coercive measures to do for our mental lives what pharmacology has done for our bodies — the banishment or mitigation of many discomforts. In the social milieu fostered by today’s entitlement state, expectations quickly generate entitlements. Students are taught to expect intellectual comfort, including the reinforcement of their beliefs, or at least those that conform to progressive orthodoxies imbibed and enforced on campuses. Until September, however, the culture of freedom will be safe from its cultured despisers.

Trust essential to successful policing This story is not new.

On March 6, Matthew Kenny, a police officer in Madison, Wis., shot and killed an unarmed 19-yearold black man named Anthony Robinson Jr., who, he said, had attacked him. The shooting triggered days of peaceful protests. An autopsy found a cocktail of illicit drugs in Robinson’s system.

Earlier this month, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, who is black, cleared Kenny of wrongdoing.

Though the story isn’t new, what is, is the response from Madison Police Chief Michael C. Koval. In his blog, he anticipated civil disturbances and offered those who might “make a principled decision to get arrested” a helpful menu of charges so they could distinguish between acts that would get them fined and those that would get them jailed and stick them with criminal records.

Impressively, he acknowledged the systemic bias plaguing people of color and the fact that police have been part of the problem. “I am not going to absolve law enforcement for whatever role we have played in being complicit in the calculus of racial disparities.”

One never hears a top cop say such things. I wanted to hear more. Specifi-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

He said he has emphasized community policing where cops don’t just catch bad guys, but also connect citizens with city services and job training, steer the homeless to shelter, help resolve disputes with landlords.”

cally, I wanted Koval to address the question a reader named Tracy posed in this space a few weeks back.

“What can I do?” she asked, to combat the scourge of police violence against unarmed African-American men.

Koval said she should volunteer to help police develop programs to identify and combat their own unconscious biases. “A lot of academies, like my own, welcome citizen input and advisories ... as people that are willing to come in and

serve on panels, to have community oversight.”

It seemed a stretch to say that “a lot” of police academies would welcome this input. When I noted this, Koval sighed. “I think a lot of my colleagues, quite frankly, are very traditional,” he admitted. “I’ll be honest with you. I think the profession ... tends to be very reactionary and behind the learning curve What do cops respond to best? Well, a), lawsuits, which compel change, and b), sometimes there are legislative mandates that put our feet to the fire.”

In other words, if your department does not welcome public input, pressure it to do so. Police, said Koval, have to realize that responding to the public’s concerns is not optional. “If you think it’s business as usual and you can’t incorporate citizen input, then ... you’re living on an island.”

Koval said he has worked to make his department a model of progressive policing “in terms of casting, or recasting ourselves, reinventing ourselves into a mold more of a community activist and a guardian, and much less emphasis on traditional law enforcement warrior mindset.” He said he has emphasized community policing where cops don’t just catch bad guys,

but also connect citizens with city services and job training, steer the homeless to shelter, help resolve disputes with landlords.

“I’ve been accused, or indicted — I actually embrace it — as ‘Kumbaya Koval,’ because I want to create this guardian image in which I’m trying to cultivate a workforce that are more like social workers with a badge and, oh yeah, there is this law enforcement element that has to take place.”

It will not surprise you that Koval is fond of a quote attributed to Sir Robert Peel, the British statesman who founded London’s police department: “(T)he police are the public and the public are the police.” But that sentiment is only as valid as the trust between the two, and that trust frays more with every controversial shooting.

While Matthew Kenny will not — probably should not — face charges for shooting Anthony Robinson, Koval knows that death has nevertheless caused a breach of faith between his department and some of those it is sworn to serve.

“Those are trust gaps,” he said, “that I will be laboring the rest of my life to try to mend.”

that virtual school is not a common choice and in turn offers students an uncommon perspective.

“You dared to be part of a virtual school and learn in a new and unconventional way,” she said.

The 58 graduates, in metallic blue robes and caps with silver tassels, took part in the LVS High School Academy commencement ceremony at Southwest Middle School on Saturday afternoon.

LVS is an online school launched in 2004 for Kansas students in kin-

a box fan at the business, causing it to overheat and catch fire. The damage estimate was about $60,000, not including hospital costs for the injured animals.

Neither business had fire sprinklers nor monitored fire alarms that would have alerted an alarm company, and thus the fire department, to the smoke and flames inside. Those safety features are not required by city code or state law for animal-housing facilities.

Pet World co-owner Sherry Emerson had previously told the JournalWorld that the building had a monitored alarm system, but Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Marshal James King said Thursday that was not the case.

Farmer said in light of the second fire, a discussion regarding code provisions for pet businesses has been added to this week’s City Commission agenda.

“We can’t keep having stuff like this happen,” Farmer said. “It is devastating to our community, those who lose pets and those of us who love our own pets as well.”

An ongoing process After the Christal K-9 fire, city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said city staff had been instructed to review city codes to determine whether officials should consider improving animal-housing business standards. Then-city Commissioner Farmer and then-mayor Mike Amyx said that commissioners would be discussing changes to the code.

Brandon McGuire, assistant to the city manager, said that in December city commissioners instructed city staff to research, “engage stakeholders and provide recommendations” for animal-housing business code changes.

City codes regarding animal businesses have yet to change since the

. dergarten through 12th grades that connects students with teachers, curriculum and other virtual students.

Kemble said a virtual education may be the path less traveled, but that path can lead the students to unique places.

She quoted the last few lines of Frost’s famous poem, “The Road Not Taken”: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — / I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference.”

Sara Drake, the LVS High School Academy valedictorian, recognized that although Saturday was the first time many of them had met in person, research phase began.

But McGuire said that the process was “in no way tabled” and that the Pet World fire is just “bringing (the issue) back into the public’s eye.”

“I feel that given the review of city code, fire code and speaking with those involved (with pet services), we’re moving at a fair and aggressive pace,” McGuire said. “This is not a speedy process.”

King said that the city is focusing on changing codes specifically for animal-housing facilities — which include all petrelated businesses that house animals — because animals are among some of the most helpless of fire victims.

“Unlike people, who are capable of self-preservation, confined animals do not have that capability,” King said. “They are dependent upon us for their rescue.”

After reviewing the International Fire Protection Association’s latest international fire code guidelines and recommendations, King said he and other city staff are proposing the following code changes: l Require all new and existing animal-housing facilities to have a monitored smoke detection or fire alarm system. l Require all new and existing facilities with gas-fired appliances to have a carbon monoxide detector. l Require all business employees to be trained in the use of fire extinguishers. l Require all new and existing facilities to have emergency plans and staff drills. l Require all new facilities larger than 3,000 square feet to have automatic fire sprinklers.

McGuire said city staff met with local animal service businesses — mainly kennels and veterinary hospitals — about possible changes in March.

Lawrence Humane Society Executive Director Kate Meghji said she plans to meet with McGuire on Monday. She said she “expects her recommendations to be

Drake told her fellow graduates that no matter what they were going on to do — be it going to college, taking a year off or getting a job — she wanted them to remember to live a life that is unique.

that accidental drownings of caged pets by “faulty sprinklers” add to the difficulty of deciding to install sprinklers.

But King said that although there was no fault for the fire because Pet World had met city standards, the fire’s damages would not have been as extensive had the Pet World building been equipped with a monitored alarm, which allows for quick detection and response, or automatic fire sprinklers, which help to control the flames.

“Had one or both existed, in my mind it would have ended differently,” King said. “(Alarms) are much faster than waiting for it to be noticed by someone outside the building.”

Emerson said that, looking back, she wishes the store had gone beyond the city requirements.

“It reminds me of a school bus with no seat belts — which seems perfectly fine until it’s not — but yet they still have no seat belts,” Emerson said.

Representatives of Christal K-9, which, according to its website, plans to reopen Monday, refused to speak with the Journal-World. It’s unknown whether it will have a sprinkler system or monitored alarm system when it reopens.

“Don’t just listen to the loudest voice, listen to the truest voice,” he said.

Christal K-9 did not have such fire protection systems at the time of its November fire.

Christal K-9’s fire was not noticed until people at a neighboring business smelled an odor coming from next door. Eric and Vanessa Elcher, who lost dogs Lulu and Jig in the fire, told the JournalWorld in December that Christal K-9 co-owner Cedric Devin told them firefighters were at the scene “within an hour,” yet the nearest fire station was just a half-mile away.

King said Pet World’s Monday fire was initially reported by bystanders who saw smoke escaping the building.

McGuire said that city commissioners have asked city staff for an update at their meeting Tuesday on their progress toward assessing possible code revisions. Farmer said he did not know what specific action would be taken Tuesday, “but we definitely need to talk about it.”

McGuire said he plans to ask commissioners Tuesday to “provide more guidance” on what steps to take next regarding fire and city codes.

Emerson said that within two weeks, Pet World will open a “temporary location” in the former Hume Music space at 711 W. 23rd St.

New Evidence Shows Resveratrol and Vitamin D Help with Blood Sugar New studies support earlier research showing that supplemental resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red grapes and wine, as well as vitamin D, can help people do a better job of managing their blood sugar levels. Resveratrol has attracted considerably attention because it increases the activity of the Sirt1 gene, which is associated with greater longevity.

In the latest study, Ali Movahed, MD, of the University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, Iran, and Canadian colleagues gave 66 people with type-2 diabetes either 500 mg of resveratrol twice daily or placebos for 45 days. All of the subjects were also taking drugs to lower blood sugar levels.

The results were nothing short of dramatic.

Fasting blood sugar levels decreased from an average of 175 mg/dl to 140 mg/dl, and fasting insulin levels declined by about half.

Furthermore, HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) decreased from 8.6% to 7.6%.

In addition, people taking resveratrol had their insulin resistance lessen, and their high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increased. In contrast, people taking placebos had a slight increase in their fasting blood sugar and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Inasimilarstudy,MoolaJogheeNanhan,PhD, of JSS University’s College of Pharmacy, Tamil Nadu, India, asked 57 people to take one-fourth the dose of resveratrol—just 250 mg—daily for six months. All of these patients were also taking medications to lower blood sugar levels.

reductions in body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Blood sugar and HbA1c levels decreased slightly.

In a separate study, Ahmad Esmaillzadeh, PhD, of Isfahan University of Medical

Sciences, Iran, and his colleagues used vitamin D or placebos to treat 54 women with gestational diabetes. Women in the vitamin D group received 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 at the beginning of the study and again at day 21. Blood samples were taken and analyzed at the beginning of the study and at six weeks.

Women who received vitamin D had their fasting blood sugar levels decrease by an average of 17 mg/dL (compared with 0.9 in the placebo group), and their fasting insulin

1.3 in the placebo group). In addition, the vitamin D supplements led to about an 11 percent decrease in total and LDL cholesterol levels.

Brownback plan built on sales tax increase

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas would eliminate income taxes for 388,000 poor residents and raise taxes for business owners under proposals Republican June 2015 Gov. Sam Brownback outlined Saturday to push lawmakers

toward boosting sales and cigarette taxes to close a budget shortfall.

Brownback’s plan would raise $428 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1, a little more than what’s needed to close the budget gap. A majority of the new dollars would come from increasing the sales

tax to 6.65 percent from 6.15 percent and the cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack, to $1.29 from 79 cents. The governor previously

O’Malley jumps into 2016 contest He joins Clinton and Sanders for Democratic nod David Jackson USA TODAY

BALTIMORE Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley launched his presidential candidacy Saturday by stressing income inequality and other economic issues ahead of an uphill battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“The American Dream seems for so many of us to be hanging by a thread,” O’Malley said in his official announcement, pledging to close “a growing gap of injustice in our country” if he becomes president.

The former Baltimore mayor, surrounded by campaign signs calling for “new leadership,” also took a swipe at Clinton — and at Republican Jeb Bush, a likely GOP candidate who is also looking to follow a family member into the White House.

Mocking a Goldman Sachs executive who said he would be “just fine” with either Bush or Clinton as president, O’Malley told a cheering crowd: “Well, I’ve got news for the bullies of Wall Street ... the presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you between two royal families.”

It was O’Malley’s only mention of his Democratic primary rival; he did not cite President Obama at all.

O’Malley, whose police policies as mayor came under fire after the recent Baltimore riots, pledged to overhaul the criminal justice system.

“Tell me how it is that you can get pulled over in this country for having a broken tail light, but if you wreck the nation’s economy you’re absolutely untouchable,” O’Malley told flag-waving supporters at a hilltop park overlooking Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

Outlining his agenda, O’Malley, 52, protested federal wage, investment and regulatory policies of recent decades. He called for a major immigration bill, vowed to legalize gay marriage in all 50 states and offered a “new foreign policy of engagement and collaboration.”

O’Malley joins Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as the only formally announced candidates for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Vice President Biden, former Virginia senator Jim Webb, and former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee are reportedly considering 2016 bids.

Beau Biden, son of vice president, dies of brain cancer Served two terms as Del. attorney general Gregory Korte USA TODAY

BETHESDA , MD.

Former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, the oldest son of Vice President Joe Biden, died Saturday of brain cancer, the vice president’s office said. He was 46.

Biden was hospitalized May 19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment of a then-undisclosed illness. The vice president’s office said Saturday he

had a relapse of a brain cancer first diagnosed and thought cured in 2013.

The vice president and the rest of his extended famTHE NEWS JOURNAL ily were at his Beau Biden side when he died, the vice president’s office said.

“The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words,” the vice president said in a statement.

“Beau embodied my father’s saying that a parent knows success when his child turns out better

than he did. In the words of the Biden family: Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.”

Biden, a two-term attorney general for the state his father represented in the Senate for 36 years, was a Democratic candidate for governor in 2016.

But he had battled health problems for years, including what was described as a minor stroke in 2010. In 2013, he had a small lesion removed from his brain.

President Obama said he and his family were grieving with the Bidens.

“Beau took after Joe,” Obama said in a written statement. “But

for all that Beau Biden achieved in his life, nothing made him prouder; nothing made him happier; nothing claimed a fuller focus of his love and devotion than his family. Just like his dad.”

Named after his father, Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III was born in Wilmington, Del., in 1969, the oldest son of Joe Biden with his first wife, Neilia Hunter. He was just 3 years old when his father won an improbable victory in a U.S. Senate race in 1972. But the next month he was seriously injured in an auto accident that killed his mother and sister.

Beau Biden graduated from the University of Delaware and at-

tended law school at Syracuse University. He worked in the U.S. Justice Department before winning election as state attorney general. He served as a major in the Delaware Army National Guard, and spent a year of his first term deployed to Iraq, where he was awarded the Bronze Star.

As attorney general, his focus was on prosecuting child sexual abuse and protecting homeowners from foreclosure.

Biden’s survivors include his wife, Hallie, and their two children, Natalie and Hunter; his parents, the vice president and Dr. Jill Biden; his brother, Hunter Biden; and his sister, Ashley Biden.

full of laptops, external hard drives, USB ports and cables.

They were part of the first class under a new program by Homeland Security Investigations that trains wounded service men and women to become computer forensic analysts focusing on catching child predators.

The program is expanding from the first class of 19 people in 2013 to almost 50 this year. The servicemembers are recruited by the United States Special Operations Command, which works with wounded veterans from special operations units across all military branches, and HSI’s Cyber Crime Center.

“It’s weird because I used to be the one who kicked in the doors and threw the bangers,” Leduc, 32, says, using military speak for grenades. “But now once a house is cleared, I come in with my computer gear. I’m kind of the nerd.”

Japan’s first-ever biracial contestant tackles attitudes

Krieger works out of the New Orleans field office. The evidence of his accident is still with him.

He wakes up every day with exploding pain in his elbow and walks with a limp. But since 2011, he’s lived with the regret of leaving a military career that spanned 27 years.

“The Hero Corps has done a lot to fill that hole,” he says.

Beauty queen fighting bias

Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

Can a beauty pageant combat racial bias in one of the most homogeneous societies on Earth?

Ariana Miyamoto, who is part African-American, thinks it can.

And she has been enduring a lot of abuse to make that point.

Miyamoto became the first biracial person to represent Japan in the Miss Universe contest when she won the national qualifying pageant in Tokyo in March.

That’s a remarkable achievement in a nation where more than 98% are ethnic Japanese, according to the CIA’s World Factbook.

Miyamoto was born and raised in Japan. Her mother is Japanese and her father is an African American who was stationed at the U.S. naval base in Sasebo, Japan.

As a child, Miyamoto endured daily discrimination and racial taunts. Two decades later, in her new high-profile role, she is facing down that same bigotry.

“In school I had trash thrown at me and was laughed at, and everyone pretended not to notice.

When I was talking to my friends in the classroom, both boys and girls would be told not to talk to me,” she said.

On field trips or in gym class, other students would avoid holding hands with her because they thought her skin color would rub off. It was the same in the swimming pool, she said.

Although Miyamoto’s selection won favorable reviews for the most part, many anonymous critics took to Japanese social media, attacking her looks, challenging her stand on racial issues

director of the National Association to Protect Children, an advocacy group that fights child pornography. Weeks took the idea for the program, dubbed the Hero Corps, to Homeland Security Investigations, which jumped on it.

Field offices need all the help they can get because they are getting crushed by the amount of computer data that needs to be analyzed for cases, said Brian Widener, unit chief of HSI’s computer forensics unit, which trains the servicemembers. He says his unit has seen a 30% to 40% increase over the past several years in the number of devices and digital media that need to be analyzed. For example, he said, the unit analyzed 5,900 mobile devices last year, compared with 4,400 the year before.

The servicemembers, most of whom have been released from the military because of injury or illness, receive computer forensic training, then serve as unpaid interns for 10 months, working child exploitation cases. Members of the first two classes have all been offered full-time positions with HSI.

Miyamoto, 21, says those attitudes are the reason she decided to enter the contest in the first place.

A year earlier, she had turned down an invitation to compete when she learned that no biracial person had ever entered the Miss Universe-Japan pageant, let alone won.

But she said she changed her mind this year after a close friend who was half-Caucasian committed suicide only days after they discussed problems confronting mixed-race Japanese.

“I decided to enter to change perceptions of, and discrimination toward, half-Japanese — so

that something like that would never happen again,” she said. “I want to change how people think about (racial issues), and I entered the contest prepared to be criticized. I can’t say I’m not upset about it, but I was expecting it.”

If Miyamoto’s goal was to raise

awareness of the issue, it seems she’s already having success. So far, she has conducted more than 50 interviews with Japanese and foreign news media and has appeared on nearly a dozen domestic and overseas television broadcasts, according to Mai Yamada, a spokeswoman for the Miss Universe-Japan organization. In all of them, Miyamoto has talked about the need for improving racial attitudes in Japan — the reason she says she entered the contest in the first place.

Many Japanese seem to struggle with the concept of discrimination. A court in Kyoto recently ruled it is permissible for landlords to refuse to rent to foreigners or non-Japanese based on race or ethnicity.

Older Germans become entrepreneurs Mihret Yohannes

Special for USA TODAY

Six weeks ago, Silke Wommelsdorf ditched an unhappy 30-year career in corporate sales to open a dog salon. Now the 51-year-old can’t wait to meet her four-legged clients each morning.

“Dogs have been my passion since I was a kid,” she said. “I thought to myself, it’s now or never. I wanted to live my dream.”

Wommelsdorf is part of a growing trend of 50- and 60something Germans who are quitting steady jobs to test the uncertain waters of entrepreneurialism.

According to Frankfurt-based research institute KFW, one in 10 new start-ups in Germany has a founder over 55 at the helm. This in a country better known for established giants like Bosch and BERLIN

Mercedes than for its entrepreneurial culture.

Projections suggest the wave of middle-age, first-time entrepreneurs shows no sign of letting up, either. Over the past 10 years, the German Economic Institute found, the number of Germans working beyond the retirement age of 65 increased from 5% in 2005 to almost 9% today.

Longer life spans, less confidence in the government to provide a decent retirement and growing disillusionment with traditional work are among the factors driving Germans to turn a new page late in their careers, start-up coach Dagmar Schulz said.

“People are getting older and older, and they’re sick of being told they’re not good enough by their bosses when they know they are,” she said.

After Japan, Germany’s population is aging and shrinking faster than any other nation, according to the Pew Research Center. That means the government must pay out more in re-

“It’s a very positive and courageous thing that Ariana chose to enter the pageant as a way of striking up a conversation,” said Greg Dvorak, associate professor of Pacific and Asian History and Area Studies at Tokyo’s Hitotsubashi University. “Attitudes toward race are shifting, and overall there is a growing move toward appreciating diversity in all its forms and really understanding what that means. But it’s a very slow, slow process here in Japan.”

If anyone can help, it’s Miyamoto, her father, Bryant Stanfield, told USA TODAY. “She’s very strong. She knows who she is. She knows where she comes from. She knows to speak up for what you believe in. I am very proud of her,” said Stanfield, who left the Navy after 10 years and now lives in Jacksonville, Ark. Miyamoto describes herself as thoroughly Japanese. She speaks the language at a native level — with a distinctive Nagasaki accent— is skilled in Japanese calligraphy, bows when talking on the phone and exchanges business cards with two hands.

Though fluent in English, she adheres to Japanese in interviews.

Stanfield said he and Miyamoto’s mother met at the Sasebo naval base, where she worked. They fell in love and married, and she followed him to California when he was transferred. When she became pregnant, they decided she should return to Japan because of his long deployments at sea.

Though they later divorced, Stanfield kept in touch, and Miyamoto came to live with him and her paternal grandmother in Arkansas for her final two years of high school. Now that she’s back in Japan, Dvorak said he thinks she can have an impact: “She may never change the attitudes of closed-minded people, but she also has a lot of fans, and I think her drawing attention to this issue is a meaningful first step.”

Gaertner says that in less than two years on the job, he’s seen worse things than what he saw or experienced in combat.

tirement benefits to a growing army of seniors while workforce and tax revenues shrink.

Today, about 20% of Germans are over 65, according to the center. By 2050, that number will climb to 32.7%.

At the same time, 21.5% of Americans will be over 65 by midcentury.

Seeing a potential financial crisis on the horizon, middle-aged Germans expect politicians to increase the retirement age and cut benefits. That’s why many are moving to provide for themselves.

Traditionally, Germans are reluctant to strike out on their own, said Thomas Funke of the RKW Competence Center, a research institute that promotes innovation in small and medium-size businesses. Such risk aversion is attributed to a fear of failure in local society, a feeling Germans describe as “angst” that holds people back and makes them cynical about the future.

“I do think angst is a good thing because it means you also have to work hard, and Germans do always work hard,” Funke said.

“But it also means they’re afraid of trying something new, so it also has a downside.”

Business consultant Ralf Sange, 54, is capitalizing on the wave of older entrepreneurs. A few years ago, he launched Founders 50 Plus, a company that caters to his peers who are starting businesses later in life.

“Many people are threatened by old-age poverty, and that’s a very important aspect behind why founders, older people, want to start up a business,” he said.

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen @coopallen USA TODAY

The 2016 presidential field grew this past week, with the announcements of Rick Santorum, George Pataki and Martin O’Malley.

KASICH BY ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

KASICH JABS AT BUSH; CHRISTIE, AT PAUL Speaking of the GOP race, another potential candidate, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, isn’t waiting to officially jump in to take a shot or two at one of his likely rivals. In an interview with The Washington Post, Kasich said he didn’t “know anything about” the theme of Jeb Bush’s potential candidacy. “What’s ‘Right to Rise’?” Kasich asked, referring to the name of Bush’s super PAC. “Getting up in the morning?”

Ouch.

Also this week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who’s considering a White House bid, took a shot at Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who already has announced.

Christie slammed critics of the Patriot Act and attacked Paul for “siding with” Edward Snowden.

OBAMA MAKES WAY FOR SUCCESSOR Jan. 20, 2017, the date President Obama will leave office, is still more than 19 months away. But the next administration seemed to be on the president’s mind at a Miami fundraiser on Wednesday.

“We can get a lot done, but part of what we’re also doing is laying the foundation so that we then pass that baton to the next administration and we institutionalize some of the progress that we’ve been making,” Obama told Democratic donors at the event.

And no, he didn’t mention any names of who might be heading that administration.

Democrat Martin O’Malley joined the 2016 presidential race on Saturday.

Here are six things to know about the former Maryland governor: WINNING STREAK He may enter the 2016 Democratic presidential race as an underdog to Hillary Clinton, but O’Malley is likely not lacking in confidence when it comes to seeking elective office. He narrowly lost his first bid for office in 1990 — a state Senate race — but has worked his way up the ranks of Baltimore city and Maryland state politics ever since, winning elections for city council, mayor and governor.

INSPIRATION FOR ‘THE WIRE’?

Fans of the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire no doubt remember the rise of Tommy Carcetti, the ambitious Baltimore city councilman who wins a surprise victory to become mayor.

Sound familiar? Show creator David Simon maintains that Carcetti was a composite of multiple politicians, O’Malley included.

O’Malley himself is critical of any comparison to the fictional Carcetti, telling MSNBC in 2009: “I’m the antidote to The Wire.”

O’Malley’s March in which he plays guitar and sings. The group, formed in 1988, has performed at the White House.

MAYORAL TENURE O’Malley’s record as mayor was in the spotlight in recent weeks following the unrest that gripped Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died of an injury suffered while in police custody. O’Malley defended his tenure and “zero tolerance” policies on policing. “I did not dedicate my life to making Baltimore a safer and more just place because it was easy,” O’Malley told Chuck Todd on Meet the Press in early May. “And I am more inclined and more deeply motivated now to address what’s wrong with our country and what needs to be healed and what needs to be fixed.”

FAMILY LIFE O’Malley’s wife, Katie Curran O’Malley, is a district court judge in Baltimore. The couple have four children. Martin O’Malley was born in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 18, 1963. His father, Thomas M. O’Malley, was an attorney and served as as a bombardier in the Army Air Forces during World War II. He died in 2006. O’Malley’s mother, Barbara, has worked as a receptionist for retiring Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski for nearly three decades.

CLINTON SUPPORTER IN 2008 He’ll be running against her in 2016, but O’Malley was an early supporter of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, endorsing the then-New York senator in May 2007.

IN BRIEF RAND PAUL SAYS HE’LL FORCE PATRIOT ACT EXPIRATION

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul announced Saturday he will force the expiration of the Patriot Act at midnight Sunday because of his objections to bulk data collection by the National Security Agency.

The Senate is scheduled to hold a rare Sunday session to consider the law, which expires June 1. Paul can force at least another 30 hours of debate, delaying passage until Tuesday at the earliest.

On Saturday morning, Paul, who is among the field of Republicans seeking their party's presidential nomination, issued a series of short statements on his Twitter account and a longer version on his presidential campaign website about an hour after his plan was first reported by Politico.

"There has to be another way.

We will find it together,'' Paul said on his Twitter account.

WASHINGTON When the Ohio Democratic Party and the Senate Democrats’ national campaign operation endorsed former governor Ted Strickland to be their standard-bearer against GOP Sen. Rob Portman next year, the party was sending a clear message to other interested candidates: Strickland is the nominee.

Cincinnati Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld heard the message — and ignored it.

“For me, it’s very simple: The voters decide who they want their candidate to be. I don’t think they want to be dictated to,” Sittenfeld told USA TODAY. Sittenfeld, 30, entered the Democratic race before Strick- “Having Democrats land and says duke it out in that, despite party pressure, competitive primaries he never consid- is a very good thing ered exiting to for our Republican clear the way for incumbents.” the former governor, who re- Andrea Bozek, spokeswoman for the mains the Senate GOP’s campaign operation. front-runner for the nomination.

Sittenfeld is part of a crop of Senate Democratic candidates who are shaping primary battles in at least six states, which Republicans hope damages Democrats’ chances of retaking the Senate in 2016.

A number of forces are driving the rise of contested Democratic primaries: rare opportunities, frustrated down-ballot Democrats and a philosophical debate between the centrist and progressive wings of the party as it approaches the post-Obama era.

Republicans, who are defending more Senate seats in 2016, see advantages in this surge of Democratic primary fights.

“Having Democrats duke it out in competitive primaries is a very good thing for our Republican incumbents,” said Andrea Bozek, spokeswoman for the Senate GOP’s campaign operation.

In heavily Democratic states such as California and Maryland, the retirements of Sens. Barbara Boxer and Barbara Mikulski, respectively, opened up a once-ina-generation shot for down-ballot Democrats to make a run for a Senate seat that, once won, would be hard for a Democrat to lose.

Party leaders largely have coalesced around Attorney General Kamala Harris in California and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. However, their establishment support did not deter Rep. Loretta Sanchez from joining the California race or Rep. Donna Edwards from entering the Maryland race. More candidates might follow in both states.

In Illinois, Rep. Tammy Duckworth is running against Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., but Rep. Robin Kelly also is considering a bid. In Florida, Rep. Patrick Murphy was endorsed early by the Senate Democrats’ campaign operation for the open seat race to replace GOP Sen. Marco Rubio, who is running for president. But liberal lightning rod Rep. Alan Grayson might also run.

Democrats have successfully cleared the field for nominees in battleground races in Nevada and Wisconsin. Former attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto is favored for the Democratic nomination in the open Nevada race to replace retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and former senator Russ Feingold is a lock for the party’s pick in a rematch against GOP Sen. Ron Johnson.

Democrats also have cast a wide net for candidates to run against Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa. So far, only former liberal Democratic congressman Joe Sestak — who has a history of chafing against the party establishment — has jumped into the race.

WORLD ON THE FRONT LINES OF TERROR

PHOTOS BY ABED AL QAISI

St. Matthew’s Monastery, which in its heyday boasted 7,000 monks, now lies near one of the most active front lines against the Islamic State.

Battle for Iraq rages outside ancient walls of St. Matthew’s monastery Sheren Khalel and Matthew Vickery Special for USA TODAY

Yousif Ibrahim paces down the 1,600-year-old chamber room of St. Matthew’s Monastery passing rows of empty, polished-wood pews. Ornate crystal chandeliers hang from the arched ceiling above him. The room smells of dust and incense, and its silence is peaceful. Outside the ancient walls, however, the battle for Iraq is raging.

“We can see the battles and the airstrikes from here in front of us, especially at night. The sky lights up at night, but we, of course, are not scared. God protects us,” says Ibrahim, one of three monks who resides in the monastery.

Situated on the side of Mount Al-Faf in north Iraq’s Nineveh Plains, St. Matthew’s Monastery is recognized as one of the oldest Christian monasteries in Iraq.

Today, the beige stone structure looks down on the rolling hills of one of Iraq’s most active front lines against the Islamic State,

“I don’t even want to think or speak about the destruction the Islamic State would cause if they took our monastery.”

less than 4 miles away.

The horizon is spotted with pluming towers of white and black smoke from U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and heavy artillery fire. From this front line, Islamic State territory stretches back to Mosul, the group’s largest Iraqi stronghold.

The proximity of the Islamic State to St. Matthew’s means the monastery is constantly at risk.

The extremist group is known for destroying churches, museums and other culturally and historically significant sites.

Recently, the militants seized the Syrian city of Palmyra and its ruins, described by the United Nations as “one of the most important cultural centers of the ancient world.” The city’s fall left the world holding its breath in

anticipation of the UNESCO World Heritage site’s destruction.

St. Matthew’s is safely under Kurdish peshmerga military control for now. But Sahar Karaikos, one of six students at the monastery, fears what could happen if the Islamic State advances closer.

“We are not scared, because our teachers give us a feeling of peace here, but we know we are on the front lines, and in seconds the Islamic State could be here,” Karaikos says.

Although monks at the monastery say they are confident God and the peshmerga forces will protect the site, they have removed their most precious relics, including centuries-old Christian manuscripts. The tomb of the monastery’s namesake, St. Matthew, lies empty — the bones

have been moved north into the relatively safe territory of the Kurdish Regional Government.

Most of the residents from the villages below the monastery, including Karaikos’ family, sought refuge in that region after fleeing in August, when the Islamic State advanced on the area. But the three monks at the monastery and all six students resolved to stay.

From the monastery’s stone terraces, Karaikos can see his village, Bartalla, a Christian town that dates back more than 1,000 years. Today, as he points out his abandoned village from high on the mountainside, thick plumes of smoke billow from the skyline.

The Islamic State “does not understand what history means, they just understand the breaking of history,” he says.

In its heyday, the monastery boasted 7,000 monks in its ranks.

The area surrounding the complex was named Al-Faf, meaning “the thousands,” in homage to the legion of monks who worshiped, taught and studied on its steep dry slopes.

A month after quake, Nepal still struggling Schools to open today even as millions remain homeless Donatella Lorch

Special for USA TODAY KATHMANDU, NEPAL

Schools in Nepal will reopen today, just over a month after this poor Himalayan nation was hit by a devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake.

Most classrooms will be outdoors, sheltered under tarpaulins, in a stark reminder of the Earth’s horrific power and the growing effort to bring life back to a semblance of normalcy.

But normalcy may take years to recreate. The April 25 earthquake killed more than 8,500 people and injured 18,000. It destroyed a half-million homes and left more than 3 million homeless. More than 32,000 classrooms were destroyed.

In many of the most devastated areas, schools may not reopen.

In the badly hit districts of Gorkha, Sindhupalchowk and Nuwakot, the government estimates, 90% of schools collapsed. In the Kathmandu Valley, more than half of the school buildings have been used as emergency shelters.

Another concern is whether teachers who have lost families

Children play in a camp for survivors of the Nepal earthquake in Kathmandu on Tuesday. The April 25 quake killed more than 8,500 people, injured 18,000 and left 3 million homeless. and homes will return along with students, who may have moved.

For those who show up at school, UNICEF is providing school supplies likely to last three months. For the first few weeks, the students will not learn from books, but will focus on play and discussions aimed at coming to

grips with the earthquake’s aftermath, according to the Nepal government.

The government has declared the emergency phase of the disaster over, but relief still has not reached remote villages cut off by landslides. The World Food Programme has hired 20,000 unem-

ployed porters to carry food and tarps to these areas.

“We broke three four-wheel drive vehicles just to get to Marpak in Dhading District” five hours from the paved road, said Naryantara Gurung Kakshapati, 33, who is overseeing the Himalayan Disaster Relief Volunteer

Group, which delivers food and tarps to Nepal’s hinterlands. He said a team of volunteer mountaineers hiked three days over landslides to assess the needs of several villages.

Aid from the world community is only trickling in: just $9.4 million has been received out of $423 million pledged.

The monsoon rains start in a few weeks, which means farmers should be harvesting their wheat now and preparing to plant other crops for the rainy season. But seed and planting utensils are buried in the rubble, which increases the danger of new landslides on bare mountains. Already 3,000 possible landslide sites have been identified by the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development. Villages will need to be relocated and new land will have to be allocated.

In Kathmandu, tens of thousands still live in tent camps in two big parks, under tarps on the banks of the capital’s fetid rivers and along main roads.

The government has ordered homeowners to demolish houses built in violation of building codes or pay to have the government do it. It said it will provide stipends and housing subsidies, aided by the World Bank, to help residents rebuild houses that are more earthquake-resilient.

‘Gorilla’ Fuld plans to relaunch stock exchange this year Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Former Lehman Bros. chief Dick Fuld spoke publicly for the first time last week in part to pave the way for this summer’s relaunch of the National Stock Exchange, which Fuld part owns.

Fuld took to a Manhattan hotel stage on Thursday because he is working on several “higher-profile” projects that could soon thrust him into the limelight, including the exchange’s relaunch “later this summer,” David Karlin, Fuld’s business partner, told USA TODAY.

Fuld is part-owner of the 130year-old electronic National Stock Exchange, which handled only roughly 13 million shares — a minuscule 0.2% of all U.S. stock trading — before it closed last year. Fuld’s new advisory firm, Matrix Advisors, is not a shareholder, but it worked on the sale to new owners in a deal that closed in February, Karlin said.

He is also beefing up Matrix Advisors, including opening a licensed real estate brokerage, Matrix RE Brokerage, and hiring new staffers, including former Goldman Sachs analyst John Yanchek.

“My mother still loves me,” Fuld, 69, said in a sometime rambling speech at the Grand Hyatt in midtown Manhattan, where he was invited to give the keynote address at a conference for com-

panies valued at under $500 million.

Fuld has not spoken publicly since his 158-year-old brokerage and investment bank collapsed under a mountain of risky assets in 2008, and Fuld was called to testify before Congress and called a “villain.”

The bankruptcy, the biggest in

history, catapulted Fuld from Wall Street honcho to central character in the mortgage meltdown that nearly took down Wall Street.

Thursday’s appearance was part of Fuld’s effort to claw his way back.

The speech, which took place over lunch, was filled with platitudes and veiled references to his downfall. He continued to blame Lehman’s collapse on outside forces, including the government.

Unlike Bear Stearns, Lehman was not saved by the U.S. government.

“Did we try to do everything we possibly could? Yes. Did we fall prey to some other agendas? I will leave it at that,” he said at one point.

The speech also contained some humorous moments.

“I don’t include my wonderful

time with Congress a public event,” he joked about his last public appearance.

Fuld took the stage on the understanding that he would not be asked about Lehman’s darkest days. But an executive with accounting and advisory firm Marcum, the conference’s host, asked him about that time anyway.

This led to some uncomfortable and poignant moments that had the audience riveted.

“Please understand. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about Lehman Brothers. Not a day,” Fuld said. But the Wall Street boss, whose tough-talking ways earned him the nickname “The Gorilla,” also said he wants to “put it behind me.”

“My motto is: That was then, this is now,” Fuld told the audience.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE AMEX PRESIDENT GILLIGAN DIES SUDDENLY uIn a nutshell: Edward Gilligan, a high-ranking official at credit card giant American Express, died Friday after becoming “seriously ill” on one of the company’s corporate jets, the company said. uThe victim: Gilligan worked his way from an intern in 1980 to a top lieutenant to American Express Chairman and CEO Kenneth I. Chenault. He was named vice chairman in BLOOMBERG 2007, and was Gilligan more recently president in charge of the company’s consumer and small business card issuing division as well as its global merchant services unit. He was also in charge of a group seeking to help AmEx’s merchant partners expand their digital and social media relationships. uThe fallout: “With the heaviest of hearts, I must share some devastating news,” Chenault wrote in a letter to employees and business partners on Friday. “For the time being, I have asked Ed’s direct leaders to report to me,” he said in the letter.

IN THE HOT SEAT A CHANGE FOR RENEWABLE FUELS ON THE HORIZON The Obama administration Friday proposed lowering the amount of ethanol that must be blended into America’s gasoline supply through next year, angering the renewable fuel industry, which has fought to keep the volumes in line with much more aggressive targets set by Congress.

The measure is unlikely to have a noticeable effect on drivers who use gasoline blended with the largely corn-based product.

Still, any meaningful change in the Renewable Fuel Standard — a 2007 law requiring increasing amounts of alternative fuels to be blended into cars, trucks and other vehicles — could have a sweeping impact in Iowa, where farmers, ethanol producers and rural economies are tied to the mandate.

Lamborghini is launching an upscale SUV based on its Urus concept vehicle, above, shown at an auto show in China.

Lamborghini goes up against Bentley, Maserati Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

Suddenly, the super-rich don’t want to be seen in luxury cars anymore. They want their SUVs. That would seem to be the message from the formal entry last week of sports-car maker Lamborghini, which announced it will join Maserati, Bentley and Rolls-Royce in fielding SUVs at stratospheric prices. All will attempt to meld their famously swoopy lines and purring performance with the practicality of an SUV. “The profits from those vehicles are extraordinary,” says Tom Libby, analyst for IHS Automotive. “It’s a competitive environment. If there’s an opening, they don’t want to be left behind.”

Lamborghini said its version will be based on the Urus concept that it showed at several auto shows in 2012. Lambo says it expects to sell about 3,000 of them a year in the U.S., China and other markets with lots of millionaires, essentially doubling its annual production. It says it is expanding its Italian factory to handle the SUV. The new Lambo will compete against: uRolls-Royce Cullinan. Because it’s a Rolls, it’s not being called off-road capable. Rather, it is gently described as being “able to cross any terrain.” In fact, the brand even deplores the description of it as an SUV. It’s “a highbodied car with an all-aluminum architecture.” uBentley Bentayga. The big Bentley SUV had a rough critical start as a concept — some didn’t like the looks — but the hints that Bentley has given to its new form could win fans.

Not all are joining the fray.

Sports car maker McLaren, for instance, says it has no plans at the moment for a SUV. But those watching the scene haven’t been able to ignore the success of Porsche, which morphed from being strictly a sports car maker into sedans and now SUVs. It makes both the Macan and Cayenne SUVs. Libby says automakers have come to the realization that the luxury SUV “is not a fad. It is here to stay.” Premium SUVs like Cadillac Escalades have been used for luxury chauffeur-driven transportation for years, but no makers have tapped the superpremium category.

“They see the hot spot of demand and they feel (they have) got to be there,” he says.

RETIREMENT

Leaving work leaves some vulnerable Feeling isolated, lonely or losing a sense of purpose can fuel drug, alcohol abuse

Rodney Brooks @perfiguy USA TODAY

Here’s a number that may shock you: 2.5 million American seniors have alcohol and drug problems, and anywhere from 6% to 10% of elderly hospital admissions are the result of alcohol or drug problems.

“Drug misuse and abuse in the elderly is of special concern because it can cause cognitive and physical impairment — putting this population at greater risk for falls, motor vehicle accidents and making them generally less able to care for their daily needs,” according to a report by the Center for Applied Research Solutions in Santa Rosa, Calif. “Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to prescription drug misuse.”

Jamie Huysman, a physician and clinical adviser to Caron Treatment Centers, a drug and alcohol treatment center that recently announced a new center specifically for seniors, says retirement in itself doesn’t cause unhealthy habits, but the sense of isolation and depression that some retirees feel can contribute to substance abuse. “Sometimes the way we leave our job, whether we quit, are phased out or laid off, there is anger and pain. ... Those things can accelerate alcohol use.”

Meanwhile, drug abuse is another issue, he says. Seniors are three times more likely to take prescription drugs. “Drugs have become prevalent,” he says.

“Doctors see 30 to 40 patients a day. Pain is legitimate, and pain management is legit. It takes five minutes to say yes, and 45 minutes to say no.

“Sometimes they do

have legitimate pain,” he says.

“Inadvertently, they become addicts or alcoholics.”

Janet Taylor, a New York psychiatrist and AARP consultant, says most people think of drug abuse as illegal substances, but prescription medication is a big issue.

“The proportion of seniors on prescription drugs has tripled,” she says. “When people get prescriptions from doctors, they can be abused or misused. You feel like it’s OK because you get it from a doctor.”

Besides access to drugs, there are reasons why seniors may be more likely to have higher rates for drug abuse. “Many are going through transitions in their lives. They may be bored,” Taylor says.

“They may have physical problems that make them less mobile. Sometimes they have more free time. They may start drinking earlier in the day. But as you get older your metabolism changes.

Those are some of the contributing factors to a pattern of abuse and misuse.”

Huysman says that up to 50% of seniors in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities have a substance-

or alcohol-abuse problem.

“Can you imagine someone who has been in the workforce for many decades and finds him or herself now among the nonworking and who essentially feels adrift?” says Lynnette KhalfaniCox, an author and personal finance expert who runs the site AskTheMoneyCoach.com.

“If someone hasn’t planned and doesn’t have a strong sense of what they are going to do outside of whatever role they have played in the last decade, it is disorienting,” she says. “It is not just a matter of being financially prepared. It’s a life purpose question.

A lot of our identities are wrapped up in our titles and careers.”

Huysman says elderly patients can get addicted “right under our nose.”

“When they are isolated, which seniors get, nobody sees this decline in observable behavior,” he says. “They are the fastest-growing group of addicts and alcoholics in our nation.”

He says sometimes in retirement there is a feeling of depression, purposelessness or a big financial strain. Sometimes there is marital strain. “They all contribute to abuse,” he says.

Bob Stammers, director of investor education at the CFA institute, tells clients that they can have problems if they don’t know clearly what their goals are in retirement.

“A lot of people don’t realize how much they identify with work,” he says. “Sometimes retirement isn’t pleasant because they aren’t active and aren’t engaged.”

AMERICA’S SAFETY NET

Should you delay Social Security payout?

It can easily be a $150,000 question Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

Social Security is the central thread running through America’s social safety net. The program that supports older Americans, disabled workers and their families paid about $823 billion in 2013, according to the most recent Social Security Board of Trustees report.

That was more than one-fifth of all federal spending that year, covering 58 million recipients.

This program has been the bedrock of retirement planning for most Americans. It’s no surprise, then, that even the prospect of small changes in benefits can provoke violent reactions among taxpayers of all ages.

But one of the most powerful factors in your Social Security benefits is actually wholly up to you: The date that you decide to collect your first check can make a huge difference.

Full retirement age is 66 to 67 for anyone born after 1943. And according to the Social Security Administration, your monthly Social Security check will increase by about 8% for each year you delay benefits beyond that.

Conversely opting for Social Security before your full retirement age reduces benefits — down to just 75% of your potential monthly payout if you opt for benefits at age 62. The decision of when to retire is crucial in determining how big your Social Security checks will be.

A TYPICAL ‘GLIDE PATH’ FOR BENEFITS Your lifetime Social Security payout varies based on your retirement age. Payout example using a rough estimate based on a person retiring from a job with $60,000 annual salary: Retiring at age:

HOW BENEFITS CHANGE BASED ON RETIREMENT AGE

For those with the means and health — and perhaps most important, the time to plan ahead — it’s important to understand the trade-offs at various retirement ages.

For instance, let’s say you’re turning 62 at the end of this year and are making about $60,000 a year. Benefit calculators available at SSA.gov estimate your monthly Social Security payment would be a little less than $1,200 if you opted in as soon as possible.

However, if you wait until your full retirement age of 66, your check increases to over $1,600 monthly. And if you wait until 70 for benefits, you’d get almost $2,300.

To be clear, these are all rough

After age 79 the bigger benefits will start to add up. estimates in a theoretical example; all precise benefits are unique to your earnings and retirement age. But these numbers are instructive to see how benefits can change based on the age you elect to receive benefits.

PROS AND CONS OF DELAYING SOCIAL SECURITY

The obvious trade-off here is that while the check is bigger at the end of this time frame, there are all those years of zero benefits to account for.

The “break-even” age is about 79 — meaning that regardless of when you choose to elect benefits, by your 79th birthday you will have received about the same amount of money regardless.

In the previous example of a worker making $60,000 a year, that would be about $260,000 or so — regardless of whether they retired at 62 or waited to retire at 70.

I’ll just come right out and say the morbid truth, then: If you elect for early benefits and die before age 80, you indeed come out ahead benefit-wise — so those in particularly ill health may see no incentive in a delayed payout.

But it’s important to remember that the average life expectancy is now roughly 79 years, so anyone of reasonably sound body and mind may want to consider the benefits of delaying Social Security. Because after age 79 the bigger benefits will start to add up.

In fact, if our theoretical 62year-old worker making $60,000 lives to age 90, he or she will have received about 37% more — or roughly $150,000 in additional Social Security benefits — thanks to the larger monthly checks from the government.

HOW TO PUSH BACK BENEFITS, IF YOU CHOOSE

If you’re 62 and have neither the savings nor the ability to work, you may not have any option but to elect for Social Security benefits. And there is nothing wrong with that, because that’s what they are there for.

But if you have the time and earnings potential to delay benefits, here are some tips:

Use Other Retirement Savings.

If you’ve planned ahead and have a big 401(k) or traditional IRA, these tax-deferred accounts allow you to access funds without penalty after age 59½. This, along with conventional savings, may help you delay Social Security.

Continue Working Later in Life.

Aside from earnings funding your day-to-day expenses, you can continue to fund other retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA. Adjust Your Expectations.

Tired of the rat race, and eager to retire and drive cross-country in a new convertible BMW? Well, just be sure you’ve planned ahead enough — because burning your savings in your 50s and early 60s can have consequences.

Choosing how to spend your Golden Years is a complicated and emotional exercise — so remember that all the advice here is general, and none of the numbers are precise. Every family is different, and there are no universal truths here.

Also, always remember that Social Security was designed as a safety net — not a wealth-building plan where you should be concerned about getting the biggest payday.

The bottom line: Talk with your family, talk with your medical and financial advisers, and think seriously about your retirement age. And as you make your plan, consider the long-term payback that comes with delaying your Social Security benefits.

CLASS 6A TRACK AND FIELD

Another winner

Lions’ girls claim crown

By Chris Duderstadt

cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Wichita — Going into the girls 4x400 relay, it was guaranteed that the state track and field championship plaque would return to Lawrence for a third straight year.

Free State led Lawrence High 56-53 entering the last event of the day, but the LHS relay team of Leah Gabler, Kyleigh Severa, Marissa Pope and Jensen Edwards knew if they took care of business, the title would be theirs.

The Lions’ 4x4 won the event for the third straight year, clocking in at 3:55.55, but more importantly to the Lions’ foursome, they won a 6A state team championship.

“At a lot of places, it may not be as special, but nobody celebrates a state title like Lawrence High School,” LHS coach Jack Hood said. “In our inner gym, they only hang up state titles. It’s the only way your team gets remembered.

They don’t hang up conference championships, district awards or regionals. The only way you get remembered is if you win a state title. Every group of kids that comes through, seniors especially, wants to have their team remembered.”

FSHS girls, boys bag second-place finishes

FREE STATE’S AVIN LANE (2664) PUMPS HIS FIST as he crosses the finish line of the boys 100-meter dash in front of Lawrence High’s JD Woods.

Wichita — It was a day of mixed emotions for Free State High’s boys and girls track and field teams.

The Firebirds boys entered the last event of the day in a tie for first with Manhattan, but neither squad had a team in the 4x400 relay finals.

Olathe East, which trailed FSHS and Manhattan by five points going into the 4x4, did have a team entered and went on to claim the Class 6A state title.

“We had a chance potentially to be there, but I think

we’re all really pleased,” FSHS coach Jordan Rose said. “This is the best combined team effort that we’ve ever had.”

FSHS got a standout individual and team effort from sophomore Avin Lane. The Firebird sprinter beat out Lawrence High’s JD Woods with a personal-best time of 10.75 seconds in the 100 and then anchored the 4x100 relay team with Nathan Thomas, Tyler Odell and Ronald White for another first-place finish.

“I was able to get myself there, but it’s even better when I’m able to get my

teammates there,” Lane said. “It’s a great experience to get two state championships.”

While Lane sparked the Firebirds in the shorter distances, junior Ethan Donley fueled Free State to a state title in the 800 with a time of 1:56.59.

“Honestly to me, times mean nothing,” Donley said.

“I went out there and got in a good first lap and got into the perfect position to give myself a chance.”

Releford

Former Kansas University guard Travis Releford exploded for 26 points with six assists and four rebounds in leading Maccabi Kiryat Gat to a 93-74 victory over Ironi Kiryat-Ata on Friday in the deciding Game Five of Is-

rael’s National League basketball finals.

The victory assured Releford’s team of being promoted to Israel’s Super League top flight for next season.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Kansas City, Missouri, native hit eight of 10 shots, including one of two threes.

He also hit nine of 11 free throws. Former Mississippi player Terrence Watson contributed 19 points for the winners.

Releford, 25, has also played for pro teams in Canada and Belgium. He averaged 17.9 points and 4.9 rebounds a game this past season.

K.C.-Cubs postponed; make-up Sept. 28 Chicago (ap) — The game between the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs scheduled for Saturday night has been rained out.

A makeup date at Wrigley Field was set for Sept. 28 at 6:05 p.m. on the final Monday of the regular season.

Saturday night’s scheduled starters will both be pushed back to today.

Yordano Ventura (3-4) is set to make his 10th start of the season for the Royals. Tsuyoshi Wada (0-0) is slated to make his third start of the year for the Cubs.

Munoz gets first win in rain-short Detroit race Detroit (ap) — Carlos Munoz has his first career IndyCar victory, winning Saturday at Belle Isle when the race was called because of rain after 47 laps.

The 23-year-old Colombian driver had a substantial lead when a caution flag came out with just over 30 minutes remaining in what was supposed to be a 2-hour race. The yellow flag was due to lightning in the area, and the race went under a red flag not long after that.

After the rest of the race was called off, Munoz was declared the winner. Marco Andretti was second, followed by Simon Pagenaud and pole-winner Will Power.

Munoz, in Andretti Autosport’s No. 26 Honda, gave that manufacturer only its second victory of the season in a series dominated by Chevrolet of late.

This was the first of two IndyCar races this weekend at Belle Isle.

Munoz had not finished in the top five this season.

There had been a decent amount of rain earlier in the day at Belle Isle, but conditions were a bit more clear when the IndyCar race started, forcing drivers to decide whether to go with tires suited for wet or dry conditions.

Buescher saves fuel for win at Dover Dover, Del. (ap) — Chris Buescher stretched his fuel, connected with a teammate and held on to win the Xfinity Series race at Dover International Speedway on Saturday.

Buescher, the series points leader, has emerged as the driver to beat in NASCAR’s second-tier series. He edged Chase Elliott for a win two weeks ago at Iowa Speedway and followed with his third career Xfinity win.

Buescher conserved enough fuel to drive a whopping 98 miles on his final run in the No. 60 Ford, a stellar effort for the Roush Fenway Racing driver.

“I was clutching it a lot those last 15 laps trying to save all we had there and get all we could,” he said.

Owner Jack Roush was one of the first to congratulate Buescher.

SERENA WILLIAMS REACTS AS SHE DEFEATS VICTORIA AZARENKA during their third-round match of the French Open tennis tournament on Saturday at Roland Garros stadium in Paris.

No. 1 Williams edges Azarenka at French Open Paris — At the outset, Serena Williams was grimacing and cursing and, worst of all, losing by a lot.

Then, suddenly, the 19-time Grand Slam singles champion was putting shots right where she wanted, imposing her will as only she can.

And the only anger Williams displayed was directed at her opponent, Victoria Azarenka, while they traded gestures and words over the chair umpire’s decision to replay a key point.

By the end, when she was aggressively grabbing the final six games and 10 of the final 12, all that really mattered was that the No. 1-ranked Williams was not going to let this one get away. Williams erased deficit after deficit and beat former No. 1 Azarenka 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 Saturday in a third-round French Open match filled with momentum swings and one GIFready contentious exchange.

“I was just really down and out in that match, and I just feel like, you know, I just really zeroed in,” Williams said. “I really focused, and I really wanted to win that.”

Williams is 28-1 in 2015, 9-0 in three-setters.

The American improved to 50-11 at Roland Garros, making her the first woman since 1968 to have that many wins at each major.

Harrison, N.J. — The United States wrapped up its World Cup warmup matches with a listless 0-0 draw against South Korea on Saturday, a result that highlighted the Americans’ struggle to regain top form going into next month’s tournament.

Again missing star forward Alex Morgan, who hasn’t played in a month because of a bone bruise in her left knee, the second-ranked Americans were shut out at home for the first time since Nov. 5, 2008, in Cincinnati, also by South Korea. Morgan says she will be ready for the team’s World Cup opener against Australia on June 8.

Still, the U.S. extended its home unbeaten streak to 96 since November 2004 (84-0-12) and is 7-0-2 against the South Koreans.

Three days shy of her 35th birthday, forward Abby Wambach started in her 242nd international appearance in the only change by U.S. coach Jill Ellis from the starters in the 5-1 win over Mexico on May 17. Wambach replaced Megan Rapinoe, who had a sore quadriceps.

Kerr expects Klay Thompson to play in Game 1 of Finals

Bowditch leads Byron Nelson; Woodland is nine shots back

Oakland, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is so confident Klay Thompson will be cleared for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Cleveland that he isn’t preparing to play without him.

The All-Star guard sat out a second consecutive practice Saturday recovering from a concussion. Kerr said Thompson is feeling well and progressing through the NBA’s concussion protocol.

The Warriors are off today and resume practices Monday. They will host the Cavaliers in Game 1 on Thursday night.

“I’m anticipating he’s going to be there,” Kerr said.

Asked what his options are if Thompson can’t play, Kerr responded: “I haven’t even thought about it. The series is, like, five weeks away. We have plenty of time to think about that.”

He later said backups Leandro Barbosa and Justin Holiday would be the most likely options if Thompson isn’t cleared to play — though he doesn’t believe that’ll be the case.

“I expect him there,” Kerr repeated.

Thompson suffered a concussion after getting kneed in the head by Houston’s Trevor Ariza in Golden State’s Western Conference finals clinching win Wednesday night. Team doctors initially cleared Thompson to return to the game. He ended up not playing, and the team said he started developing symptoms after the game.

Irving, Texas — Steven Bowditch shot a 4-under 65 on Saturday in the AT&T Byron Nelson to take a two-stroke lead and leave hometown favorite Jordan Spieth six shots back heading into the final round.

On a mostly sunny day that started with the second straight three-hour delay because of earlier rain, Bowditch got to 13-under 195. The Australian won the Texas Open last year in San Antonio for his lone PGA Tour title.

Dustin Johnson was in the group tied for second after the day’s low round of 62 on the rain-altered par 69 at TPC Four Seasons.

Jonathan Randolph, playing with Spieth and sitting 266 spots behind him in the world ranking, briefly held the lead but went in the water on 18 for a double bogey that dropped him into a tie with Johnson, Texan Jimmy Walker, Scott Pinckney and Jon Curran.

Pinckney shot 64, Randolph 65, and Walker and Curran 67.

Spieth had a 68. The Masters champion was tied for 18th.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 2-over 71 and is tied for 65th at 2-under, nine shots behind the leader.

Curran, the rookie who shared the secondround lead with Bowditch and Walker, rallied with three straight birdies late in the round.

Clouds gradually disappeared during the afternoon, and the forecast is clear for today.

But the course is still soggy enough that the normally par-4 14th will remain a pitch-andputt par 3 barely longer than 100 yards for the third straight round.

Source: New Orleans Pelicans hire Alvin Gentry as coach New Orleans — A person familiar with the situation says the New Orleans Pelicans have hired Golden State Warriors assistant Alvin Gentry as head coach.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on Saturday on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.

The person says Gentry is expected to remain with Golden State until the Warriors complete the NBA Finals against Cleveland.

Gentry has served as a head coach four times, compiling a career record of 335-370.

His most successful stint came with Phoenix from 2008 to 2013. In the 2009-10 season, he coached the Suns to 54 regular-season victories and a Western Conference finals berth.

Now he inherits a squad featuring 22-yearold, two-time All-Star Anthony Davis.

Gentry, who served on the Kansas University staff of Larry Brown from 1986-88, succeeds Monty Williams, who was fired despite making the playoffs this season as the Western Conference’s eighth seed. The Pelicans were swept by the Warriors in the opening round.

Nationals place pitcher Strasburg on 15-day DL Cincinnati — The Washington Nationals have put Stephen Strasburg on the 15-day disabled list, a day after he had to leave a start after 16 pitches because of a stiff neck.

Strasburg had a rough May, failing to last four innings in four of his five starts. He left one start with tightness behind his right shoulder.

The left side of his neck tightened after the first inning of a 5-2 loss to the Reds on Friday night, and he came out of the game after facing only one batter in the second inning.

Manager Matt Williams said Saturday the team wants to find out why he’s having back and neck problems. Right-hander Taylor Hill was called up from Triple-A Syracuse.

In other injury news, outfielder Bryce Harper was scratched from Washington’s lineup on Saturday because of a sore back.

Harper was hit in the middle of the back by a pitch from Cincinnati’s Tony Cingrani during the Reds’ 5-2 win on Friday night.

placing second in the 800 in a school-record time of 2:17.53 and finishing fourth in the 400. The LHS senior said adrenaline helped her anchor the Lions’ 4x4 and that nothing would get between her and the state title.

“We talked to each other, and us four girls that have run it since my sophomore year — me, Kyleigh, Marissa and Leah — we all decided that we were running it no matter what,” Edwards said. “Even if one

of us can’t walk, we’ll still find a way to run it.”

Senior sisters Matia and Rebecca Finley followed going 1-2 in the discus on Friday by going 3-4 in the shot put Saturday to round out the Day 2 scoring for the Lions.

“Right now, I’m feeling so many different things that I almost don’t feel anything at all,” Edwards said. “I was laughing and crying at the same time.”

Woods, Tae Shorter, Trey Moore and J’Mony Bryant had the top prelims time over FSHS in the 4x100 relay, but the final heat did not go as planned. Bryant’s hamstring gave way on the anchor leg, and the Lions settled for sixth.

While Hood was hoping for a higher team finish, he thought the meet was a fitting end to the Lions’ roller-coaster season.

“This boys team all year has been about highs and lows,” Hood said.

“When they’re good, they’re great, and when they’re bad, you walk away and you wonder what happened.”

After Amani Bledsoe earned a seventh-place finish in the shot put, Moore and Woods respectively came in fifth in the 100 hurdles and 200 dash.

Woods had one word to describe his emotions following the meet.

“Tired,” Woods said.

“It’s been a long weekend, but we came out and competed. Four-byone didn’t place well, but we did good as a team together. I’m just happy to be here with my team.”

Baldwin girls 4A champs

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Wichita — Baldwin High’s girls track and field team won its third consecutive 4A state title Saturday, beating out second-place Independence by 18 points.

The Bulldogs were led by throwers Alexia Stein, Kelsey Kehl and Jordan Hoffman.

The trio swept the top three spots in the discus, something they have been aiming for the past few years.

“We have been striving for this since Day 1 with going 1-2-3 in disc,” said Stein, who won both the discus and the shot put. “This was our main goal. Just having it happen is the best thing ever because I love my team-

mates, and we’re just like a family.”

Hoffman completed the sweep of the throwing events for Baldwin by winning the javelin.

The Bulldogs also received several strong performances on the track, highlighted by a victory in the 4x800 relay. Addie Dick, Abby Ogle, Fayth Peterson and Madeline Neufeld teamed for a total time of 10:03:03.

The Baldwin boys team ended the day on the podium as well, finishing third overall and just a point behind second-place Bishop Miege.

Andale won the 4A boys team title.

The team of Joseph Pierce, George Letner, Parker Wilson and Dakota Helm made it a sweep for Baldwin in the

4x800 relay with a time of 8:16.68. Helm was in third entering his last lap as the anchor leg, but he was confident he could make up the gap.

“At regionals, we started ahead of De Soto,” Helm said. “They kind of switched their order up about three quarters of the way through the year.

We’ve been racing with them being out in front of us the whole season, so we were kind of used to it. I kind of knew when to go and start pushing.”

The De Soto boys team was still able to crack the top 10 in seventh place, led by 800 runner Travis Hodge’s first-place finish.

The Wildcats also had an event champion on the girls side, with Jannell Clampitt winning the pole vault.

placing sixth in the 300 hurdles and seventh in the 100 hurdles.

Rose had a smile on her face Saturday after the Firebirds’ total team effort culminated in a runner-up finish.

FSHS girls After winning back-toback team state championships, the FSHS girls squad knew it would have its work cut out for a third.

The Firebirds fell just short, trailing champion Lawrence High by seven points at day’s end.

Although FSHS did not win the team title, senior Gabbi Dabney still came away with individual accolades after winning the 100 hurdles with a personal-record time of 14.64 seconds.

Dabney got some

words of wisdom from former teammate and 100 hurdles champion Alexa Harmon-Thomas to put her in the right frame of mind to win the race.

“She was giving me a pep talk last night about going out and just executing the race,” Dabney said. “I knew that’s all I really had to do because I had a good seed coming in.”

Kiara Clark followed Dabney with a fourthplace finish and then bounced back to be the

runner-up in the 300 hurdles. Sophomore Emily Venters rounded out the top-three finishers for the Firebirds on Saturday, placing third in the 800.

Venters is one of several Firebirds returning next season, giving Rose plenty of optimism for FSHS returning to the top of the podium next year.

“We just keep affirming that we’ve got a great core,” Rose said. “We’ve got a great group of kids that work all year to just try and improve and get better.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Keuchel stifles ChiSox The Associated Press

American League Astros 3, White Sox 0 Houston — Dallas Keuchel struck out a career-high 11 and pitched a four-hitter, leading Houston over the White Sox on Saturday.

Heavy rain caused minor flooding inside Minute Maid Park during the game, but there were no delays.

Keuchel (7-1) pitched his second career shutout and first since May 13, 2014. He didn’t walk a batter and finished with a 1.76 ERA after throwing his eighth complete game overall.

The Astros improved to 31-19, tying the 1998 team that won a franchise-high 102 times for the best 50-game start in team history.

Twins 3, Blue Jays 2 Minneapolis — Brian Dozier drove in the tiebreaking run with a triple in the seventh inning, lifting the Twins past the Blue Jays.

Blaine Boyer pitched a perfect ninth for his first save, giving major league leader Glen Perkins a break after the AllStar closer gave up a goahead, two-run homer to Chris Colabello the night before.

Kyle Gibson got the Blue Jays to hit into a double play in each of the first three innings.

Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 3 Milwaukee — Paul Goldschmidt outslugged the Brewers with two homers and four RBIs, leading the Diamondbacks to a win.

The left-handed first baseman led off the third with a homer before hitting a long three-run shot for a 7-2 lead in the fourth. That drive caromed off the scoreboard high above the 400-foot sign in deep straightaway center, chasing starter Kyle Lohse (3-6) from the game.

Even Arizona starter Jeremy Hellickson (3-3) got in on the fun at the plate with two hits, including an RBI single through a drawn-in infield in the second.

Rockies 5, Phillies 2 Philadelphia — Nolan Arenado, Michael McKenry and Ben Paulsen each homered, leading the Rockies to a victory over the slumping Phillies.

Eddie Butler (3-5) tied his career high by going six innings, allowing one run and four hits.

He struck out three and walked one in an emergency start, helping the Rockies win for the sixth time in seven games.

Cesar Hernandez homered and Ryan Howard had an RBI double for Philadelphia, which lost its sixth straight and fell a season-worst 13 games under .500.

Jorge De La Rosa was scheduled to start for the Rockies, but the lefthander was scratched Saturday morning because of a cut on his left middle finger that cost him his second straight start.

Carlos Frias (4-2) allowed an unearned run and five hits in seven innings, an impressive bounce back after surrendering a career-worst 10 runs his last time out.

Frias bunted for his first career hit in the seventh.

Braves 8, Giants 0 San Francisco — Juan Uribe hit a towering tworun drive in the ninth for his first homer since joining Atlanta, Williams Perez shut down San Francisco for his first major-league win, and the Braves beat the Giants.

Andrelton Simmons and Cameron Maybin each hit a pair of RBI singles, while Christian Bethancourt and Freddie Freeman also singled in runs off Tim Lincecum, who was chased after just 41⁄3 innings.

Jace Peterson was a home run shy of a natural cycle with his first career three-hit game.

Uribe, acquired from the Dodgers on Thursday, hit his second home run this year.

Vick still likely to reclassify: Future KU guard LaGerald Vick is expected to announce his decision to reclassify to the Class of 2015 or stay in the Class of 2016 Monday night, according to Zagsblog.com. Vick, a 6-5 senior combo guard from Douglass High in Memphis, in a message to the Journal-World, however, said if he does announce something Monday he is not sure what time of day it would be. It’s likely he will reclassify and be part of KU’s World University Games team this summer. l

Trent on list: Gary Trent Jr., a 6-4 junior-to-be from Apple Valley (Minnesota) High who is ranked No. 45 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, reports on Twitter that he has received a scholarship offer from KU. He’s also considering Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky, Ohio State, Minnesota and others.

Playing for Howard Pulley AAU, he’s the leading scorer on NIKE’s EYBL circuit and has a 43-point outing to his credit this spring. His dad played in the NBA from 1995-2004.

Four more KU track athletes NCAA-bound J-W Staff Reports

Austin, Texas — Four more Kansas University track-and-field athletes earned berths to the NCAA Championships after their performances Saturday at the West Preliminary.

Pole vaulters Jake Albright and Nick Meyer, plus junior Hannah Richardson and sophomore Zainab Sanni each quali-

fied on the prelim’s final day, giving Kansas an NCAA-bound contingent of 11 in 12 events.

Albright placed ninth, and Meyer tied for 10th after clearing the same height — 5.35 meters, or 17 feet, 61⁄2 inches.

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Hoops a serious Final Four contender in the 2015-16 season. ESPN, in fact, says the Bulls are working on a five-year contract with Hoiberg.

The popular reason he’s all but gone is that it has been a lifetime dream of Hoiberg’s to coach in the NBA. So who will replace Hoiberg — if he leaves — and take over an ISU roster highly capable of challenging KU’s run of 11 straight Big 12 titles?

Current assistant T.J. Otzelberger has been mentioned as well as Phoenix Suns coach/ Iowa State grad Jeff Hornacek. Also, Randy Peterson of the Des Moines Register brought up the name of ESPN announcer/former college coach Fran Fraschilla.

Peterson was asked in a Q and A: “If Hoiberg leaves, how does this shift the power balance next season in Big 12 hoops?”

His answer: “Immediately, it shouldn’t shift power in the Big 12. Iowa State will be good next season, regardless who coaches the team. Even Georges Niang could coach this very talented bunch of guys. It’s the season after next that needs immediate attention; there’s a lot of scholarships available.”

best 4:16.73 in the 1,500 meters.

And Sanni placed 12th in the 200 in 23.39 seconds.

Kansas will send 11 athletes to compete in 12 events to the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, June 1013 in Eugene, Oregon. The No. 25-ranked Kansas women will see the following compete for national titles: Sydney Con-

ley (long jump), Daina Levy (hammer throw and discus), Colleen O’Brien (high jump), Richardson (1,500), Sanni (200) and Lindsay Vollmer (heptathlon).

The Jayhawk men’s contingent will feature Albright (pole vault), Cole Ceban (discus), Mitch Cooper (discus), Meyer (pole vault) and Michael Stigler (400 hurdles).

Chalk up another victory for Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown — this time in the recruiting war.

This weekend, Navarro Junior College linebacker Jayd Kirby, who orally committed to Kansas University in early May, backed out of that commitment and elected to head to K-State.

Kirby, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker who is expected to graduate from junior college in December with three years of eligibility remaining, initially picked KU because of the family atmosphere he felt during his unofficial visit to campus this spring.

However, the armswide-open approach of KU coach David Beaty and the Kansas coaching staff only went so far.

Throughout the spring, Kirby drew late interest from big programs such as Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and Arizona State.

Once K-State got involved, the combination of the opportunity to play elite-level football in a town that felt like home was too enticing, and Kirby announced his intentions to sign with K-State on Twitter.

“Signed with Kansas State today #EMAW,” Kirby Tweeted Friday night.

A few days earlier, as he processed all that went into his visit to Manhattan, Kirby, a Navarro teammate of new KU running back Ke’aun Kinner, sounded an awful lot like an athlete leaning toward the Wildcats.

“I liked my visit to Kansas State a lot,” Kirby told Scout.com’s Derek Young prior to making his final decision. “The people there stood out to me. It’s more of a laid-back place.

The town and the people were great. It was more of what I’m used to because I’m more of a country boy. I was born in South Dakota and grew up in a small town in Texas.”

Kirby’s change of heart leaves the Jayhawks with four commitments so far in the Class of 2016 — offensive linemen Antione Frazier (2 stars, 6-5, 250) and Joe Malanga (3 stars, 6-4, 300), wide receiver Braylon Royal (2 stars, 6-0, 175) and defensive back Michael Clark (2 stars, 6-2, 180).

Beaty and company sent several offers out to 2016 prospects throughout the past few weeks.

KU summer camps With June right around the corner, it’s time for the KU football coaching staff, which spent most of May on the road recruiting, to hunker down and spend eight of the first 14 days of the upcoming

month working summer camps around the area.

KU’s camp circuit opens Monday, with the Jayhawk Youth Instructional Camp for athletes in grades 3-5, and concludes on June 12 and 14 with the Friday Night Lights camp and Jayhawk Football Kicking Academy.

The camp schedule includes stops in Wichita, Derby, Garden City, Olathe, Lee’s Summit (Missouri) and Coffeyville.

KU’s lone team camp will take place June 8 in Lawrence.

For more information, visit http://camps. jumpforward.com/davidbeatyfootballcamps.

Win total set Earlier this week, the offshore sports book 5Dimes released its projected win totals for all Div. I college football teams. As expected, the oddsmakers employed by the book did not show much faith in the Jayhawks.

KU’s over/under win total is listed at 1.5 games for the 2015 season, by far the lowest of any of the Power 5 programs.

Iowa State (3) is the only other Big 12 team listed below bowl-eligibility, and no Power 5 program is listed lower than three wins.

Here’s a look: ACC — Wake Forest (3.5), Syracuse and Virginia (4.5); Big Ten — Illinois (3.5) and Purdue (4); SEC — Vanderbilt (3) and Kentucky (6); and Pac-12 — Washington and Oregon State (4).

Stuckey not budging The numbers game in the NFL typically is pretty serious business.

For free agents trading teams or rookies joining new squads, attaining the right jersey number has long been a profitable and entertaining endeavor.

In San Diego, where former KU captain Darrell Stuckey is coming off of his first pro bowl season with the Chargers, rookie running back Melvin Gordon, whom the Chargers drafted in the first round, has his eye on Stuckey’s No. 25.

Rather than open up a bidding war or challenging the former Wisconsin standout to some crazy hazing adventure, Stuckey has shut down the idea of giving up the number to the rookie.

“I’m 25,” Stuckey told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Asked about Stuckey’s refusal to budge, Gordon seemed close to accepting his fate and new number, 28.

“Good dude, but I’m not going to give up,” Gordon said. “It is what it is. I’ve just got (to) make something happen with 28.”

Four area players on Frontier League softball team J-W Staff Reports

hen John Merigian accompanied his teenage son on a college visit to Kansas University last year, he rounded out the trip — as many parents of prospective Jayhawks do — with a walk down Massachusetts Street.

It was there that the recent Kansas transplant noticed “all these cool sculptures” dotting the downtown landscape and thought to himself, “I’d like to do this.”

Now, his sculpture “Homage to L’Homme Qui Marche” adorns the sidewalk outside The Eldridge Hotel on the southwest corner of Seventh and Massachusetts streets.

Merigian is one of five artists contributing work to this year’s Downtown Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition, featuring eight sculptures total.

Time to catch up on some film history “The glamour of limelight, from which age must pass as youth enters.” — Opening titles of Charles Chaplin’s “Limelight”

SCENE STEALERS

O

n March 5 of this year, another 20th-century auteur passed from this world. Groundbreaking documentarian Albert Maysles (“Grey Gardens,” “Gimme Shelter”) died at age 88, leaving behind a legacy of fly-on-the-wall filmmaking (with his brother David) that changed the way documentaries were made forever.

Maysles died before his final film was released, and that film is now playing at Liberty Hall.

“Iris” profiles 93-yearold interior designer and fashion icon Iris Apfel, who has done restoration work at the White House for nine presidents. With her loud outfits and oversized glasses, she hob-knobs with people like Kanye West in public, but in private she bemoans the ravages of old age.

It hasn’t slowed her down. In 2005, a Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art exhibit raised her profile considerably. During the course of “Iris,” her husband Carl turns 100. Maysles, meanwhile, retains the celebratory eye for the unusual and iconoclastic, something first glimpsed in 1975’s “Grey Gardens,” which created fashion icons of eccentrics Edie and Edith Beale.

The young will take over for the old filmmakers eventually, but thanks to modern film restoration, old movies live on.

One thing that’s truly special about the time we live in now is the ready availability of high-quality versions of films from the past century.

There’s no use for worn-out, fuzzy VHS tapes I grew up on: companies like Criterion are restoring movies from past masters that have depth and clarity that gives them new life on any screen.

Charles Chaplin, who scholar Andrew Sarris called “one of the first auteur filmmakers,” has been getting the restoration treatment from Criterion recently, and “Limelight,” his semiautobiographical 1952 film, is out in a new Blu-ray release this week.

In it, Chaplin plays Calvero, a down-on-hisluck “tramp comedian” in 1914 London who rescues a young woman from a suicide attempt. They become close friends, and help each other through hard times in this melancholy drama from the old silent master.

“Limelight” is not a silent film, of course, but like he used to in his early years, Chaplin wrote, directed, starred in, and composed the music for the movie.

It was Chaplin’s last great film, and it showcases not just a love for the performing arts (she’s a ballerina, he’s a vaudevillian), but also

ERIC MELIN

“Limelight”

eric@scene-stealers.com Chaplin’s effortless sentimentality.

As an extra added bonus, “Limelight” contains the only moment Chaplin and Buster Keaton ever performed together on film. It’s a small part, but Keaton plays Calvero’s old partner, and they share the stage during the film’s climactic comeback performance.

Jean-Pierre Melville is an auteur of the first order, and his debut 1949 film “Le Silence de la Mer” is a stunner. It’s a wonder it even exists, in fact.

Adapted from a novella secretly published by the French Resistance in Nazi-occupied France, Melville made the film completely independent of any studio and with total creative freedom.

The film essentially has three actors, and only one of them — a Nazi officer billeted with an old Frenchman and his niece — speaks. The family’s unspoken vow of silence is their only form of protest against their oppressor, and what develops between the trio is surprising. For an angry film, “Le Silence de la Mer” is surprisingly quiet.

Criterion’s new restoration captures the deep black tones in Melville’s low-angled “Citizen Kane”-inspired cinematography. Although the movie’s narrative and acting style are typical of older films, “Le Silence de la Mer” has a modern sensibility and feel, embracing subtlety and ambiguity in a way that was idiosyncratic at the time.

On the subject of “Citizen Kane,” a new documentary about Orson Welles is out now on Blu-ray from the Cohen Media Group. From master of montage Chuck Workman, “Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles” isn’t the first documentary to cover the career of Hollywood’s troubled and celebrated auteur, but it is the first movie to feature such an extraordinary trove of archival footage.

Using rare clips from Welles interviews and unfinished film projects, Workman focuses on Welles’ innovations and influence rather than the soap opera-esque details of his life.

“Magician” is a brisk documentary that dismantles many Welles myths, some of them by the great man himself — as he tells the same story

Iris Apfel and Albert Maysles three different ways in different interviews.

Lastly, the turning point of German auteur Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s career, the 1971 film “The Merchant of Four Seasons,” has been restored and newly released by Criterion.

Like Chaplin before him, Fassbinder oversaw all aspects of produc-

tion, including the music.

Having just discovered the works of director Douglas Sirk, Fassbinder used the structures and conflicts of Sirk’s melodramas to critique modern German culture and hypocritical attitudes of the time.

“The Merchant of Four Seasons,” about an ordinary fruit salesman, is an

extremely earnest movie, which is what makes some of its Brechtian staging and advanced camera movement really stick out. Fassbinder is going for realism, but almost a heightened, stagey version of it. This strategy makes the film more deeply felt, amplifying the awkwardness.

Do yourself a favor and

catch up with the films and lives of these auteurs, whose personal way of making films ensured that they will be influential for years to come.

“Iris” is showing at Liberty Hall. “Magician” is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and a Digital HD download. Over 900 films in The Criterion Collection are available to stream from Hulu Plus at just $7.99 a month, while the newest releases are on Blu-ray and DVD as well.

Sculptures CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

James Patti in 1988 and sponsored by the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, the exhibition attracts artists from all over the country.

Kevyn Gero, a management intern in the city manager’s office, has led most of the organization efforts on the exhibition after Christina McClelland left her post as Lawrence’s director of arts and culture late last year.

Whereas in previous years the city mailed out notifications to past applicants, Gero says this time around, the call for entries expanded into more varied locations.

The strategy seems to have paid off. This year, organizers received 79 sculpture entries, more than double 2014’s total.

Juror Bill Haw, who owns and operates Haw Contemporary gallery in Kansas City, Mo., narrowed the selection down to eight.

With the exception of one “straggler” that now stands in front of the Douglas County Courthouse, all were installed during a two-week period in late April, Gero says.

Nancy Lovendahl’s sculpture “Intercession 13 (Yang)” is part of a series that explores intercessions, or “the mediation between two elements.” It’s situated in front of Merchants Pub and Plate, at the northeast corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets.

Drawing from the Chinese philosophical concept of yin and yang, Lovendahl used electric and pneumatic stonecarving tools to lodge a 2-foot slab of white marble into a tall column of stacked Kansas limestone.

To crack open the cosmic egg is like unlocking all that’s possible in yourself.

It’s the pinnacle of all possibilities.”

— Artist Nancy Lovendahl

The marble represents male energy (yang) interceding the female (yin), in the process of “cracking open the cosmic egg” against a night sky embodied by the limestone coated in blue UV-balanced epoxy resin.

“To crack open the cosmic egg is like unlocking all that’s possible in yourself,” explains Lovendahl, who hails from Old Snowmass, Colo. “It’s the pinnacle of all possibilities.”

White resin trickles down the length of the form, representing the power of yang (positive action) “transforming” the universe.

But that’s just Lovendahl’s take on it. She says the meaning is subjective, and she wants viewers to let their intuition (or yang, perhaps more appropriately in this case) lead the way.

“Some of my intentions and energy stay with the piece, but you as the viewer may interpret them along the lines of your own

MAKE-UP ARTIST ———————

Chuck Palahniuk finds new inspiration for ‘Fight Club 2,’ short story collection

By Connie Ogle Miami Herald

If you’re Chuck Palahniuk, the first rule of “Fight Club” is that you never escape “Fight Club.” And maybe, almost 20 years later, you don’t want to.

“It’s the thing you dream of, being co-opted by the culture,” says the Portland, Ore., novelist, who’s famous for raucous, wildly interactive readings of stories so grotesque they have been known to make audience members keel over (more on that later).

“In the long term, it becomes your calling card, proof you can produce something that has a lasting effect,” he says.

“The disadvantage is that things that have a lasting effect on culture tend to be things that were dismissed or rejected at the beginning. The book and the movie were failures for years. ... ‘Fight Club’ the movie lost a lot of people their jobs. The book sold fewer than 10,000 copies in hardcover. It was a big disaster.”

Published in 1996, Palahniuk’s first novel is no longer considered a disaster. It’s a cultural touchstone that rages against complacency and consumerism via its iconic, anarchic master of mayhem Tyler Durden (played with unhinged grace by Brad Pitt in David Fincher’s 1999 film).

“Fight Club” continues to be an inspiration for Palahniuk. He has just launched the first issue of his new comic “Fight Club 2” (Dark Horse, $3.99), part

Chuck Palahniuk of a 10-issue series with artist Cameron Stewart that extends and deepens the mythology. There’s even a “Fight Club”-related story, “Expedition,” in his new collection, “Make Something Up: Stories You Can’t Unread” (Doubleday, $26.95). “ L a s t summer, I was in Madrid, and I made it a point not to learn Spanish so I could w r i t e and not be distracted by conversation,” says Palahniuk, 53 and the author of 14 other books, including “Choke,” “Lullaby,” “Haunted,” “Doomed,” “Damned” and “Beauti-

ful You.” “I set myself a goal of reading all of Lovecraft and then writing a story using as many of his tics as I could. That story became ‘Expedition.’ I like the idea of approaching ‘Fight Club’ from different perspectives. ... I write what you’d call dirty realism. To write ‘Expedition’ in that overthe-top, fake Gothic way was really challenging.”

Other stories in “ M a k e S o m e thing Up” are equally challenging — for readers. They’re twisted, funny, disturbing. In “Red Sultan’s Big Boy,” a man discovers the horse he bought for

his daughter has a startling sordid past. In “Romance,” a woman whips out her tampon and smacks a guy in the face with it. In “Cannibal” — well, I can’t even tell you what happens in “Cannibal.” You’ll have to read it for yourself, so buckle up.

But in “Zombies” — about a new teenage craze in which kids are attaching cardiac defibrillators to their heads and scrambling their brains to avoid the inevitable burden of adulthood — he actually writes a happy ending (of sorts).

“It was a muscle I wasn’t using,” he explains. “I was lazy. I hadn’t written enough happy endings. I was just determined to end at least one story on an upbeat note.”

Odd, maybe, coming from the writer famous for tossing severed arms or inflatable hearts into a crowd. But talking on the phone, Palahniuk doesn’t sound like a wild and crazy guy at all. He’s pleasant, thoughtful and measured.

“Whatever image the world might have of him as an anarchic spirit, w e l l , they’re right in terms of his imagination, but that doesn’t reflect Chuck as a person,” says Doubleday executive editor Gerry Howard, who has worked with Palahniuk on all of his books except “Invisible Monsters.” “I never know what he’s going to come up with, and I’m always delighted he comes up

with it. He’s a very careful writer, very easy to work with.”

Palahniuk may enjoy shocking his readers, but he also rewards them.

His appearances bear no resemblance to the usual polite book reading, with only the shuffle of the audience shifting in their seats as a soundtrack.

Palahniuk throws candy bars and bounces balls around the room. He hit on this style after growing weary of touring and knowing he needed a change.

Before an appearance in Boulder, Colo., he went to a Claire’s with his publicist and bought every rhinestone tiara in the store. Later at the reading, he told anyone who wanted to ask a question at the reading that they’d have to wear a tiara.

The result was bracing.

“People were so tickled, it broke my unexpressed resentment for that part of the job,” he says.

Those tiaras led to other hijinks — and, eventually, the passing out, which often occurs when Palahniuk reads his infamous story “Guts” (not in “Make Something Up,” but you can find it online at chuckpalahniuk.net — just ... prepare yourself). According to the Miami New Times, two audience members swooned during a reading of “Guts” at Miami Book Fair International in 2011. The story opens with: “Inhale. Take in as much air as you can.” Apparently they didn’t.

Palahniuk confirms the phenomenon.

“Over 200 people have passed out at readings,” he says. “Originally, when I took the story to workshop, I thought it was a funny story. Nobody passed out or reacted that strongly. It wasn’t till I started reading it in public that people started to faint.”

BOOK REVIEW

‘Reagan: The Life’: Not always what he seemed to be

By Peter M. Gianotti Newsday

Ronald Reagan upended his critics and unsettled his idolaters. He also has thwarted a third group: his biographers.

The outline of the 40th president’s remarkable story is generally well known. Compiling the details, the dates, the references, and providing a lucid beginning-toend tale is the easy part.

Many authors have done that. Getting to know what made Reagan what he was is a lot harder.

H . W .

Brands, a respected historian and University of Texas educator, has written persuasively about presidents from Ulysses S. Grant to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

He’s the latest author for whom the inner Reagan has proved elusive.

Brands does chronicle plenty and offers a lumbering, supportive chronology. You learn about the “rootless” childhood

and the “indifferent” student. He describes the radio announcer who “spun a good yarn,” facts notwithstanding.

He shows you an optimistic young man who revered FDR, and whose family benefitted from the New Deal — though, later, the candidate would build “a political career bashing what Roosevelt had created.

Here, too, is the aspiring actor who “loved the camera”; a performer comfortable in his roles, on TV with “The General Electric Theater” and “Death Valley Days,” and as leader of the Screen Actors Guild.

“He discovered he liked the politics of the film industry,” Brands writes.

Reagan’s position would lead him to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Reagan enjoyed the “openly political stage. ... And he was good at it. ... He could feel the room and sense

its mood.” But, after discussing the committee’s work and the blacklist, Brands concludes, “Creative work suffered when fear ruled. But the risk was worth taking, for the good of the country.

By now, you may start thinking that Brands is a bit too sympathetic. That forgiving, friendly point of view shades his writing about Reagan’s decision-making and actions before, during and after the White House. And it undermines Brands’ valuable spadework, from documents to interviews.

The result suggests more Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. on JFK than Robert A. Caro on LBJ. Reagan’s story needs insight and perspective, analysis and context. His record as California governor and as the pivotal president in the second half of the 20th century can withstand the scrutiny and the fallout.

Brands is better when focusing on Reagan’s skills as the most effective voice for conservatism beginning in the 1960s, specifically his televised speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential race.

“People could disagree with Reagan, but rarely did they find him disagreeable,” Brands notes.

Reagan would easily win the GOP gubernatorial primary and the 1966 general election. He’d be re-elected in 1970. Reagan could speak as an ideologue, but he ran the state as a pragmatic politician.

He opposed abortion, for example, but also relaxed abortion laws. “Reagan’s pragmatism was a reflection of his ambition,” Brands writes.

That would carry over to the presidency. Reagan stressed tax cuts but also agreed to raise taxes; he assailed communism, yet dealt with Soviet leaders; he’d nominate Robert Bork to the Supreme Court but be content with Anthony Kennedy. “He took what he could get,” Brands explains, “never holding practical results hostage to ideological purity.”

Reagan understood the role of the president, mastered the media, kept his image intact, resonated with voters and was rewarded by them. The 1980 and 1984 contests were brilliant examples of political strategy, advertising and the devastating one-liner.

Candidates still ask voters, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”

Brands’ then-this-happened account of Reagan’s two presidential terms is highlighted by his discus-

sion of the give-and-take between the president and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union’s last leader.

His narrative comes alive describing their relationship. Brands rightly says Gorbachev was “Moscow’s gift” to the president. “Perhaps the demise of the Soviet Union was predestined. ... Yet the timing of the demise depended on someone willing to acknowledge the undeniable.”

POET’S SHOWCASE The Thump I heard a thump yesterday, a loud thump against the house, likely a window.

I could not tell from whence it came.

The study windows were unsullied. Those in the dining room, the same. But my bedroom window bore a long, bloody smear, the cause of which I could only guess.

Was it a dove who, distracted, struck the window? Or perhaps a blackbird mistook the reflecting glass for water?

But more likely, the sharp-shinned hawk that drifts over my house, searching for unwary sparrows, plunged in pursuit of his prey and, missing, struck the glass, leaving a smear of saliva and blood to speak of his pain.

— Betty Laird, of Lawrence

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME

Jimmy Buffett Every time I hear the opening strains of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” I get out of earshot as soon as possible.

But on a road trip a few years ago, while stopping in a small cantina outside Pontchartrain, La., I sat with a few locals and watched Jimmy perform a live telecast to raise funds for those affected by the 2010 oil spill. “Some people say there’s a woman to blame,” he sang. “But I know that it’s all BP’s fault.” For one brief, magical moment, I was a Parrothead.

More committed Jimmy Buffett fans will want to visit the Sprint Center this Saturday for his 8 p.m. concert with special guest, Huey Lewis & the News.

Tickets are $39.50 and up at sprintcenter.com.

fter her grandfather passed away last year, Lawrence resident Tara Sloan decided to honor his memory by supporting a cause he was especially passionate about: the restoration of Little Stranger Church, a nearly 150-year-old wooden building just southwest of Leavenworth.

Although Sloan now lives in Seattle, she began working with Leavenworth resident Carry Ritchie to create a new website for the church and outline a series of goals for its restoration.

Their efforts led to the church’s addition to the National Register of Historic Places last year, and a fundraising effort to restore the structure is currently underway.

From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, the church grounds will be open to the community for a pie social, which will include live music from area folk/ bluegrass outfits The Kemps and The McKinney Sisters band (and, of course, plenty of pie).

The event is free to the public, but donations will be accepted toward the church’s restoration.

Little Stranger Church is located on the corner of Tonganoxie Road and Stranger Road, about 35 minutes from Lawrence.
