LEONARD MONROE PLAYED BASKETBALL IN LAWRENCE in the 1940s for the Promoters, a basketball team for black teens who weren’t allowed to play with white students. He also had track and field aspirations that he was not permitted to realize at Kansas University because of Jim Crow-era laws and attitudes. BELOW is a picture of the Promoters in 1940.

eonard Monroe could run.

During his high school days in the late ’40s, Monroe reckons he was the second-fastest quarter miler in the state of Kansas. The only one faster was Wyandotte High School’s Frank Cindrich, he’s quick to recall.

Graduating from Lawrence High School in 1950, Monroe was awarded several athletic scholarships, but none to the school of his choice.

“Oh, I got a lot of scholarships, but they were all to black schools,” he said. “I wanted to go to KU because they had the best track team in the world.”

Passing on each scholarship, Monroe enrolled

Agreement reached on moving city, school board elections Twitter: @LJW_pqhancock

House and Senate negotiators have reached agreement on a bill that would move city and school board elections in Kansas to November of even-numbered years and keep them nonpartisan.

Rep. Mark Kahrs, R-Wichita, who led negotiations for the House, said most groups that had opposed earlier versions were either “on board” with the current bill or at least had withdrawn their objections.

State University is at the bottom, with an average salary of $78,300.

The American Association of University Professors report calculates average salaries for the positions of professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors.

However, not all schools include instructors — who are considerably lower-paid — as fulltime faculty in the report.

KU’s average salary includes no instructor positions. K-State’s total does include instructors, who make an average of

Notable exceptions, however, include the Kansas National Education Association and the Kansas Association of School Boards, which say the change will still cause logistical problems for schools. Besides moving elections from spring to November, the bill would also change the date when new terms begin, putting new school board members in place in the middle of a school year, just as boards are required by law to begin superintendent reviews and teacher contract talks.

Lawrence School Board President Shannon Kimball has expressed those concerns as well.

Kahrs said passage of the bill would have a “dramatic” effect on

The average full professor salary at K-State is $111,900, which falls eighth in the conference, over West Virginia and Oklahoma State universities.

Nationally, the average salary at public doctoral universities was $93,819 for all faculty and $130,039 for full professors, according to the report.

The average individual salary increase for faculty who stayed on from the previous year at KU was 2.9 percent for professors, 3 percent for associate professors and 2 percent for assistant professors, according to the report. Most other Big 12 schools had increases of roughly 3 percent to 5 percent.

K-State had the highest percent increase in salaries: 6.5 percent for professors, 7.5 percent for associate professors, 6.7 percent for assistant professors and 5.6 per-

Some groups had argued the bill was really an attempt to give conservatives a better shot at taking control of school boards and city councils. But Kahrs insisted that his motivation was increasing turnout, and that by leaving the elections

Topeka (ap) — Kansas would repeal a tax break championed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback under a bill that cleared a legislative committee Monday with bipartisan support, as members worked on a package of tax increases to erase a projected budget deficit.

The House Taxation Committee approved a bill that would make 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers again pay personal income taxes on their profits. The state in 2012 exempted such income from taxes at Brownback’s urging to

stimulate the economy, and the governor has touted the policy ever since as a “small business accelerator.”

Lawmakers are rethinking the policy because budget problems arose after it and other personal income tax cuts were enacted in 2012 and 2013.

Legislative researchers told the committee Monday that lawmakers must close a shortfall of $406 million in the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

Teachers, parents unhappy after teacher loses job

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Almost 20 members of the public spoke in defense of, shed tears over and hugged Mary Etta Thomsen during Monday’s Lawrence school board meeting, where she lost her job as an elementary school teacher.

The board voted 6-0 not to renew the contract for Thomsen, who is in her third year at Langston Hughes Elementary,

where she teaches first grade. Board members declined to discuss why, saying they cannot discuss personnel matters.

Thomsen said her teacher evaluation flagged her for a lack of “classroom management.” She and Langston Hughes physical education teacher Reenie Stogsdill said Thomsen’s class was particularly “challenging.”

Sex offender jailed, Store’s signs antagonize community accused of soliciting child at restaurant

Staff Reports

Lawrencians on social media and motorists and others on Iowa Street were talking Monday about a moving van displaying a sign with inflammatory and disparaging remarks about Lawrence.

The operator of the now-closed Payless Furniture, 2800 Iowa St., has a lease on the space through Friday. On Monday signs with slogans such as “Lawrence Libs Hate Freedom,” “Lawrence Sucks” and “Goodbye Obamaville” were pasted to the side of the store’s delivery truck, which was prominently displayed in the business’ parking lot. The signs also referred to Lawrence as a “commie” community that is the “#1 city in U.S. to be a homeless bum” and home to “brainwashed Marxist

zombies” who are, among other things, unpatriotic and amoral.

Store owner Robert Fyfe said the signs spoke for themselves. Asked why he would send such a message to a community where he had done business since 1978, he said, “I appreciate the business they gave me. It is not everybody, but it is a majority in Lawrence. It is not the young people’s fault. They are just so brainwashed.”

The signs quickly became the most-discussed topic on social media, with tweeters and posters suggesting the merchant would not be missed.

Others did more to protest the message. Adam Darsson stood between the van and Iowa Street holding a sign with “Pay no mind to worthless

bigots. Have a nice day, Lawrence” scrawled on a sheet of poster board. He said he had seen quite a few people taking notice of the sign throughout the day. Some offered him encouragement; others simply took pictures.

In the early evening a couple dozen people gathered as a flash mob to “celebrate” the store’s closure in light of the disparaging signs.

Gregory Peters, manager of AutoZone, 2714 Iowa St., just north of Payless, said the van had been a hot topic of conversation and the area had seen an increase in traffic through-

out the day.

“There have been a lot of people stopping and taking pictures, but we just plead the Fifth,” Peters said. “His sign doesn’t represent us or our thoughts.”

Lindsey Seidel, manager of Landmark National Bank, 2710 Iowa St., said she saw the van on her way into work. Several customers entered the bank talking about the messages.

“It was quite a surprise,” she said. “You just gotta kind of shake your head.”

The woman told police the man allegedly made a statement about the juvenile boy at the table, which McKinley said was “disturbing” given the “context with the situation at hand.”

Nelson continued to be uncooperative with the officers, but police were eventually able to arrest

operations in Kansas after the Legislature overrode Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of regulations it found excessive. A spokeswoman for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Longbine said the sides will likely have to come to agreement by Tuesday in order for the Legislature to have time to pass any changes to the earlier regulatory bill.

a 2.7 percent tax on most of the business owners’ and farmers’ profits, but income from rents and royalties would be taxed at 4.6 percent — mirroring the two income tax rates on wages.

Brownback has said he doesn’t want to tinker with the income tax break for business owners. The idea also is opposed by influential business groups, including the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business.

committee members said the measure is a big tax increase for small business owners and hurts the state’s business climate.

“It looks schizophrenic,” said Rep. Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican.

GOP committee members were evenly split on the measure, with eight of them joining the panel’s five Democrats, who’ve consistently opposed the tax break for business owners. Critics contend the policy is unfair because, for example, a doctor who owns his medical practice can pay no state income tax-

es, while his secretary does.

“I think we’ve got an opportunity here to right the ship,” said Republican Rep. Mark Hutton, of Wichita.

The personal tax cuts in 2012 and 2013 also reduced rates, dropping the top one 29 percent.

The committee plans today to debate a proposal from Brownback to decrease most personal income tax deductions, including a popular one for the interest paid on home mortgages. The measure would raise $50 million during the next fiscal year.

It will also take up a

measure from Republican Rep. Gene Suellentrop, who has proposed increasing the state’s cigarette tax by 75 cents a pack, to $1.54, and increasing the gasoline tax by 5 cents a gallon, to 29 cents. The gas tax increase would expire in July 2017.

Suellentrop also proposed raising the sales tax to 6.5 percent from 6.15 percent, though his plan would drop the tax on groceries to 5.9 percent.

His proposals on sales, cigarette and gasoline taxes would together raise $264 million during the next fiscal year.

Nelson has been in the Douglas County Jail without bond since Sunday evening, pending a charging decision by the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. Assistant to the District Attorney Cheryl Wright Kunard said Monday that if prosecutors decide to charge Nelson, he will make his first appearance in court Tuesday afternoon.

Nelson was convicted in 2010 of felony sexual exploitation of a child.

The offense involved a 5-year-old girl and occurred in Olathe in 2007, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s public offender registry.

He has been registered as a sex offender since his release from prison in September 2012.

Latin America’s education innovation

EDITORIALS

Calming influence Traffic issues on 27th Street provide an opportunity for city officials to revisit their overall strategy on traffic-calming measures.

R

esidents along 27th Street from Louisiana to Iowa streets are in need of some traffic relief. In fact, city officials probably should have acted months ago to help the neighborhood manage the totally predictable increase in traffic on 27th Street spurred by the closure of 31st Street west of Louisiana and recent construction at 23rd and Iowa streets.

Commissioners are scheduled tonight to discuss a report on a possible trafficcalming project for 27th Street that could cost about $200,000. The report cites traffic data collected in November 2012, as well as data collected a couple of weeks ago. The 2012 data indicated that the overall 85th percentile speed on the street was 38.1 mph and average traffic volume was 3,315 vehicles. The more recent study showed nearly triple that traffic volume (9,450 vehicles) but indicated the speed along that stretch actually had declined to 34.6 mph.

It’s understandable that residents are concerned about the huge volume of traffic moving through their neighborhood. The city could take temporary measures such as stop signs or temporary speed bumps to slow traffic now, but the speed doesn’t seem to be as big a problem as the traffic volume, which might or might not be reduced.

When 31st Street reopens this summer, traffic volumes on 27th Street should decline significantly. That will reduce, but probably not eliminate traffic issues on 27th Street. Based on the 2012 data, city commissioners in 2013 agreed with the city’s Traffic Safety Commission that traffic-calming measures were needed on 27th Street but noted that funding currently wasn’t available for that project.

That is true of most of the trafficcalming measures approved by commissioners in the last decade. Residents raise concerns about traffic in their neighborhood and the city responds by approving a traffic-calming plan that doesn’t get funded and therefore doesn’t get built. It’s a disingenuous but understandable strategy.

Traffic-calming has been pretty controversial in Lawrence. One way to keep too many projects from being built is to limit the funding. A better strategy, however, would be to take a harder look at which projects could have the greatest benefit and which ones the city should simply reject. Saying “no” isn’t easy but it’s as good as saying “yes” and then never funding the plan.

Once traffic gets back to normal on 27th Street, city officials will have an opportunity to take a more reasoned approach to traffic-calming measures on that street and the other 22 locations where such projects have been approved but not funded. The current traffic problems on 27th Street are real, but they shouldn’t be the basis for a long-term decision on traffic-calming measures.

Here’s an interesting innovation that is taking place in Latin America: A company is paying for the college education of thousands of students in exchange for their commitment to pay back a small percentage of their salaries when — and if — they get a job.

Lumni, an education investment fund that describes itself as “a pioneer in human capital financing,” has already paid for the university studies of 7,000 young people in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. It has also started a pilot program with 27 students in the United States.

The big question is whether it is a great alternative for the millions of students who can’t afford a good higher education, or a risky deal that, without proper regulation, could turn students into modern-day indentured servants.

Unlike with bank loans, students who get a job after graduation under the new income-share agreements only pay a fixed percentage of their income — typically between 10 percent and 15 percent — for a period that most often doesn’t exceed six years. The students’ obligation is complete at the end of the mutually agreed period regardless of the sum they paid, company officials say.

There is no collateral, no cosigners, no interest payments, just a business contract between Lumni and the students.

If students don’t pay their obligation back, Lumni can go to court to collect on its debt.

“We don’t lend money, we

“

Some students who don’t get wellpaying jobs after graduation end up paying back less money than they got, but most end up paying more, because they get better jobs, Vergara says.” invest in students,” Lumni cofounder Felipe Vergara told me. “With us, students can reduce their risk of not finding a job or not earning a good salary after graduation.”

Some students who don’t get well-paying jobs after graduation end up paying back less money than they got, but most end up paying more, because they get better jobs, Vergara says. That way, Lumni can remain profitable and attract new investors, he added.

The company, which was conceived about 10 years ago in Colombia, plans to reach a total of 30,000 students over the next five years.

Why not encourage companies to donate scholarships, rather than invest in these so-called income-share agreements? I asked Vergara.

“If you ask a big corporation to make a donation for college scholarships, they may give you money to help 10 students. But if you offer them a profitable investment in students’ education, they will pay for 100 or 200 students,” he responded.

Some education experts see these pay-forward financial vehicles as a great solution for Latin America, in part because very few banks in the region provide affordable student loans.

“In a region where fewer than 20 percent of students graduate from college, any innovation that expands the funding opportunities for disadvantaged youths is welcome,” says Gabriel Sanchez Zinny, author of “Education 3.0: The struggle for talent in Latin America.” “It’s very difficult to dramatically expand education in the region just relying on philanthropy.”

Others are more skeptical, noting that some of the most developed and highly educated countries, such as Finland, not only offer free education but often pay students extra money to remain in school. In a global economy that is increasingly driven by knowledge, it’s governments’ responsibility to invest in students’ college education, they say.

Fernando M. Reimers, a Harvard University professor

of international education, told me that “Lumni makes an important contribution, and its financial model based on graduates’ income is innovative. But like any innovation, it has its risks. And the risk for students is using the money to pursue studies that won’t result in wage increases big enough to justify the debt they are incurring.”

He added, “These risks could be significantly reduced by providing precise information about the salaries earned by graduates of various fields of study, and by consumer protection programs to educate students about the real financial commitment they are making.”

My opinion: Sure, forprofit investment funds for college students pose risks.

Without proper regulation, young people without the right guidance could be lured by unscrupulous investors into signing unfair contracts that could bind their incomes for many years.

But in a region where many students cannot even afford to study in free-tuition state universities, let alone private ones, because they need to work, and where low-interest student loans are a rarity, incomeshare agreements are an idea worth pursuing. With proper regulation, Lumnistyled companies could help millions to finish college across the Americas.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 12, 1915: years “The more expeago rienced members IN 1915 of the Country Club will be at the golf links this afternoon to offer suggestions to the beginners who are learning to play golf. The idea is to get more of the beginners interested in the game and to encourage greater care in the strokes. Many of the beginners do nothing but ‘swat’ the ball at first and that is not the idea of the game. Care in the stroke is the main point of the game and the older players want to have the new players start right.”

Conservative victory shocks Britain Belfast, Northern Ireland — “Shocked,” “surprised,” “stunned” were some of the words used by broadcasters, columnists, political “experts” and pollsters when a Conservative Party victory was forecast by exit polls on election night.

Former Liberal Democrat Party leader Paddy Ashdown was so certain the exit polls were wrong that he announced on the BBC he would publicly eat his hat if they were right. British chefs may now be considering whether a traditional bowler or a Carnaby Snap Brim from Christys’ would make the most palatable meal.

When the actual results were in — a Conservative sweep, with the exception of Scotland — the experts were even more gobsmacked. How could this have happened?

They had predicted an outcome too close to call, a hung Parliament and the possibility that Labour Leader Ed Miliband, who ran a campaign attacking “the rich” and promised higher taxes, was poised to become the next prime minister.

The Telegraph said Labour lost because “it chose the wrong leader, wrong team and wrong priorities.”

Miliband, along with Nick

“

Conservatives win — in Britain and the U.S. — when they articulate and stick to their principles and show they stand more for average people than for the rich.”

Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, and UKIP’s Nigel Farage, resigned within minutes of each other in a scene reminiscent of the Watergate era’s “Saturday Night Massacre.” With few opposition leaders — save the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) Nicola Sturgeon — Cameron has been given a honeymoon period to enact his agenda that could last up to a year.

Cameron also promised to devolve powers across Britain in an effort to stave off growing nationalism in Scotland and Wales and calls for

independence from England.

This is a practice conservatives in America would like to see implemented between Washington and the states.

Among Cameron’s priorities should be the repeal of the Human Rights Act, which has been used by terrorists and criminals in Britain to avoid prison and deportation, and the curbing of immigration which, as in America, has become an uncontrolled flood.

Conservatives win — in Britain and the U.S. — when they articulate and stick to their principles and show they stand more for average people than for the rich.

Cameron took language straight from Labour’s playbook when he spoke of supporting “working people.”

In remarks delivered the morning after Election Day, Cameron reiterated his successful campaign themes: “Our manifesto is a manifesto for working people and as a majority government we will be able to deliver all of it: Indeed, it is the reason why I think majority government is more accountable. Three million apprenticeships, more help with childcare, helping 30 million people cope with the cost of living by cutting their taxes, building homes that people are able to buy

and own, creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future and yes, we will deliver that in-out referendum on our future in Europe.”

That last one will be tricky because of trade, jobs and other issues tied to Britain’s relationship with the European Union, as well as its increasingly fragile ties to Scotland. Last year the Scots rejected an independence referendum, but having swept 56 of 59 seats in the new Parliament, the SNP can cause problems for Cameron’s agenda, which its star leader, Nicola Sturgeon, vowed to do during the campaign.

In the last days before the election and in response to criticism that he was too laid-back, Cameron managed to get fired-up. He cast aside traditional British reserve, speaking with force and conviction. American conservatives take note.

“I feared the worst … thank God for the good sense of the British people,” wrote Max Hastings in The Daily Mail. Even in a mostly secular nation like Britain, that seems a good sentiment considering the “miraculous” results.

Only two of the six nations that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council are sending their top leaders: Kuwait and Qatar.

John Bacon USA TODAY

A massive cleanup and hunt for the missing were underway Monday after a line of tornadoes and wild storms roared through the nation’s Tornado Alley, killing five people and injuring dozens.

More than two dozen tornadoes ripped through parts of Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas on Sunday, National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Carbin said. The storms are the latest in a string of recent deadly storms — a tornado Saturday near Cisco, Texas, killed one person.

“We’ve had at least one tornado reported somewhere in the nation every day since May 2,” Carbin told USA TODAY. “It’s a dangerous time of year.”

More tornadoes hit the USA in May than in any other month, the weather service reported.

In Van, Texas, Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Chuck Allen said a man and a woman died, and 43 people were taken to hospitals after a tornado tore through the county Sunday night. Three people remained missing. The tornado was rated an EF-3, the weather service reported Monday afternoon. It had winds estimated at 135-140 mph.

About 30% of the city suffered some kind of damage, and 50 people in the town of 2,700 sought shelter with the Ameri-

County Judge Don Kirkpatrick thanked the public for the outpouring of support.

“We are working very hard to get Van back to normal,” Kirkpatrick said. “Van is a strong city, a strong community. We will rebuild.”

The storm was part of severe weather that stretched across North Texas on Sunday. Another likely tornado ripped roofs off buildings and damaged trees near Denton, about 40 miles northwest of Dallas, according to weather service meteorologist Tom Bradshaw.

In Corsicana, Texas, a man died after being being swept into a ditch after leaving his car in floodwaters, WFAA-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth reported.

Two people died in Nashville, Ark., when a possible tornado rolled through Howard County late Sunday night, County Coroner John Gray told THV11.com in Little Rock. Michael and Melissa Mooneyhan died shielding their baby girl, who survived the storm.

In South Dakota, the 200plus population of Delmont was evacuated after a tornado ripped through the rural town, injuring nine people, the Argus Leader in Sioux Falls reported.

In Iowa, a tornado tore the roof off South Central Calhoun High School while 150 people attended a ceremony for seniors.

tions are worried about what they call Iranian aggression in the Middle East.

Obama administration officials said summit participants are sending the officials most involved in the regional defense and counterterrorism issues on the agenda Wednesday and Thursday. “We feel like we have the exact right people around the table,” said Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communication.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel alJubeir dismissed reports that Salman snubbed the summit, calling the idea “really off-base.”

The foreign minister said his country’s relationship with the United States remains solid. “We have no doubt whatsoever about America’s commitment to the security of Saudi Arabia,” he said.

Obama and the Persian Gulf officials are likely to discuss the prospects of increased U.S. arms sales and intelligence gathering to combat rising terrorist threats, including cyber terrorism.

Other likely topics include the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the civil war in Syria and the violence in Yemen.

Environmentalists raise stink over Arctic drilling plan Shell would operate 6 wells in region Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Environmental groups deplored the Obama administration’s decision to allow Arctic oil drilling, after the Interior Department granted conditional approval Monday for Shell Gulf of Mexico’s plan to drill six wells off the coast of Alaska.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s approval of the WASHINGTON

drilling plan is just one step to allow drilling, and there are still 16 conditions that Shell must meet.

The company must apply for and receive permits from the three other federal agencies and the state of Alaska to drill each well.

“Issuing this first permit is a slippery slope that could lead to environmental catastrophe for birds, other wildlife and people,” said Audubon President David Yarnold.

Yarnold called the approval “cynical partisan politics” and said it was “a public relations bone that the Obama administration is throwing to Shell” in an ef-

fort to deflect criticism of a global greenhouse gas agreement.”

Shell has proposed drilling up to six wells within the Burger Prospect in the Chukchi Sea, about 70 miles northwest of the Eskimo village of Wainwright.

The Interior Department ordered a halt to a previous drilling

plan after it ran into safety problems.

But on Monday, the Interior Department determined that a revised plan “would not cause any significant impacts” to human populations, the environment, historical places or endangered species.

“We have taken a thoughtful approach to carefully considering potential exploration in the Chukchi Sea, recognizing the significant environmental, social and ecological resources in the region and establishing high standards for the protection of this critical ecosystem, our Arctic communities, and the subsistence needs and cultural traditions of Alaska Natives,” said a statement from Abigail Ross Hopper, director of the Interior bureau that approved the plan.

The plan has led to protests in Seattle, where Shell is storing rigging equipment until it can be moved to the Arctic Ocean.

‘Speedo diplomacy’ to thaw iron will Lewis Pugh

@LewisPugh Special for USA TODAY

Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. It rises straight up out of the Bay of Whales, the world’s southernmost body of water.

Strong winds rush over its cliffs, sucking any warmth out of the air. Was I seriously thinking of going for a swim here, in nothing but my Speedo?

Could I afford not to?

I’ve seen sports diplomacy work wonders in my lifetime.

President Nixon sent a pingpong team to China in 1971. It thawed China-United States relations.

And Nelson Mandela wore the South African rugby team’s jersey at the 1995 Rugby World Cup to send a powerful message

of unity and reconciliation.

For the past four years, Russia has vetoed proposals to have the Ross Sea declared a Marine Protected Area (MPA). I wanted to break the deadlock and find a way to bridge the gap between Russia and the United States.

Would some “Speedo diplomacy” work?

Diving into the Ross Sea at 78 degrees south was not something I took lightly. It would be the most dangerous swim I’d ever undertaken. But it would definitely draw the world’s attention to what we risk losing if we don’t work together.

There is no sea as pristine and unspoiled as the Ross Sea. It’s the last true wilderness left on Earth and is crucial for science.

But industrial fishing is plundering this polar Garden of Eden. Over the next few years, 50% of the Antarctic toothfish will be gone from the Ross Sea. When you rip out an apex predator, the entire ecosystem can collapse. It’s that simple.

Yet the 25 nations of the Commission for the Conserva-

I had undertaken the most southern swim in the world. I was alive. My fingers should recover. But had I made my point?

tion of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) have struggled to find agreement. I hoped a symbolic act might unite them.

When the day came, conditions were far from ideal. The sea was angry, the wind even angrier. We weren’t sure we could launch a support boat, let alone attempt a swim.

The water temperature was below freezing at 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the air temperature minus 35 degrees F. When I lifted my arms out of the icy sea into that air, the pain was even more excruciating than the agony in the rest of my body.

I traveled directly to Moscow to urge Russia to support the call to protect the Ross Sea. Now I’m here in the U.S. The timing isn’t great. People say we are entering a new Cold War. But in both countries, I’ve met leaders who see the bigger picture. They understand that when we damage our environment, we create conditions ripe for conflict; but when we protect our environment, we foster peace.

With each stroke, I watched myself freeze. After 100 meters, the first digits of my fingers were completely white. After 200, the white had spread up to the second knuckle, and at 300 I couldn’t feel my hands. At 350, it was time to get out of the water.

I had undertaken the most southern swim in the world. I was alive. My fingers should recover. But had I made my point?

Two months after my swim, I can feel my left hand again. I’ve been invited back to Moscow next month for more discussions. I won’t stop until the penguins and the leopard seals, the killer whales and the Antarctic toothfish they all depend on are safe and protected.

Declaring an MPA in the Ross Sea will send a message of hope.

It will signal that we can see beyond our differences to a common future. In a world gone wrong, it will be a magnificent symbol of what we can get right.

Kerry heads to Russia to hold talks about Ukraine Kremlin says Putin might not be there

Kim Hjelmgaard and Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Tuesday in Russia with President Vladimir Putin for talks on Ukraine, amid badly damaged relations between Moscow and Washington, the State Department said Monday.

Kerry will also meet with his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi “to discuss a full range of bilateral and regional issues, including Iran, Syria and Ukraine,” the State Department said.

“This trip is part of our ongoing effort to maintain direct lines of communication with senior Russian officials and to ensure

EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

U.S. views are clearly conveyed,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement.

The Kremlin, however, said Putin’s attendance had yet to be confirmed, the Associated Press reported.

Kerry’s short visit to Sochi will be only his second trip to Russia since taking office. He visited Moscow in May 2013 and met

with Putin and Lavrov before the Ukraine crisis erupted and Russia annexed Crimea in early 2014.

Russian state-owned media RIA-Novosti and Interfax reported Monday that the Kremlin is hopeful Kerry will bring new ideas for reaching a more concrete settlement in Ukraine.

Fighting in eastern Ukraine has continued between Russian-

backed separatists and Ukraine forces despite a cease-fire agreed to in February.

The West accuses Russia of supporting the separatist rebels in Ukraine with arms and manpower. Moscow consistently denies that allegation and says Washington’s attempts to train Ukrainian troops are not helpful.

Ukraine’s military said last week that militants attacked its forces with heavy shelling along the separatist frontier in violation of the cease-fire agreement. Separatists also cut gas supplies to 13,000 residents in the Luhansk region, the military said.

Col. Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, the Ukrainian military spokesman, said Sunday that law enforcement and military units near the village of Zolote in the Luhansk region intercepted a convoy of 150 trucks attempting to smuggle unspecified goods to militant-held territories in eastern Ukraine.

IN BRIEF ZIMMERMAN INJURED IN SHOOTING IN FLORIDA

George Zimmerman, who won a controversial acquittal in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, was slightly injured Monday when he was shot at while driving his pickup in Central Florida, authorities said.

The shooting appeared to involve a man with whom Zimmerman had a previous road rage encounter, police said.

Zimmerman was treated for minor injuries and released from Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford following the incident in Lake Mary, Fla. Lake Mary police spokeswoman Bianca Gillett said an investigation was in its “preliminary stage” and that no charges have been filed. Zimmerman was not the shooter, she said.

She said Zimmerman reported the shooting shortly before 1 p.m., and that another man, Matthew Apperson, called 911 to report the shooting.

Last September, Apperson said Zimmerman threatened to kill him during a confrontation in their vehicles. He decided not to pursue charges, the Associated

first was in 2010, when the country accepted 171 recommendations out of 240.

Human Rights Watch says the U.S. has “largely failed” to follow through on the 2010 recommendations. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

READY, AIM ... PRACTICE

Ukrainian servicemen also spotted 15 drones and eight Russian Mi-8 helicopters in eastern Ukraine the previous day, Motuzyanyk said.

“Every day someone’s being killed or wounded in that region,” said Ian Brzezinski, a former Defense Department NATO policy adviser, now at the Atlantic Council think tank.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday urged Russia to use its influence to persuade separatists in Ukraine to abide by the oft-violated cease-fire.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, alleges that Republican lawmakers in Ohio have specifically targeted key Democratic constituencies — young people, Latinos and African-Americans — by eliminating the so-called “Golden Week” during which voters could register and vote on the same day.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted called the plaintiff’s lawyers “politically motivated, legal lap dogs” who were “simply intending to interject chaos” into Ohio’s voting system.”

Senate to vote on ‘fast track’ bill Obama gets pushback from Democrats Susan Davis USA TODAY

President Obama’s trade agenda faces its first test in the GOP-controlled Senate today, with a vote on whether to move forward on legislation giving the president “fast track” trade authority.

The administration is pressing lawmakers to approve the bill so that it can conclude the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multilateral trade pact with 11 nations.

“It’s incredibly important for WASHINGTON

American workers that we pass this bill,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Monday. “We need strong and fair trade legislation that expands Congress’ oversight over the administration and sets clear rules and standards for its trade negotiators.”

Senate rules require a 60-vote supermajority to begin debate on the legislation that would give Obama the authority to send to Congress a trade pact that can be approved or rejected, but not amended.

“It’s incredibly important for American workers that we pass this bill.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

nority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., are skeptical, if not outright opposed, to a trade deal they say will hurt American workers.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest downplayed questions Monday about whether Obama’s disputes with his party could alienate some of the Democrats he needs to advance his agenda through Congress.

“I’m not worried about that at all, and I don’t think the president is either,” Earnest said. “I think that’s why he’s been blunt about his views on this topic and why he believes that Democrats should be supportive of a trade agreement that, if reached, would clearly be in the best interests of our economy.”

Union leaders will hold a rally

on Capitol Hill calling on senators to vote against the legislation.

Democrats are seeking assurances from Republicans that they will also hold votes on legislation to assist sub-Saharan African nations, Trade Adjustment Assistance to help American workers hurt by trade deals and a customs enforcement bill that includes language aimed at cracking down on countries that manipulate their currency.

If successful on Tuesday, Senate leaders will have to navigate an expected barrage of amendments from lawmakers in both parties who want to add certain requirements to or conditions around the administration’s negotiating authority.

Boston bomber ‘sorry,’ nun says Antideath penalty activist weighs in in court

“He said no one deserves to suffer like they did. ...

He was genuinely sorry for what he did.”

G. Jeffrey MacDonald Special for USA TODAY

BOSTON Both sides rested Monday in the penalty phase of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s trial, minutes after Sister Helen Prejean told jurors he is “genuinely sorry for what he did.”

Prejean, the Catholic nun and anti-death penalty activist who became famous with the 1995 film version of her book Dead Man Walking, said she has met five times with Tsarnaev since early March. She said he told her how he felt about the suffering he caused to the bombing’s victims.

“He said it emphatically,” Prejean said. “He said no one deserves to suffer like they did. ... I had every reason to think he was taking it in and he was genuinely sorry for what he did.”

Jurors are expected to get the case on Wednesday to decide whether Tsarnaev will be executed or spend his life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Prejean said Tsarnaev “kind of lowered his eyes” when he spoke about the victims. His “face registered” what he was saying. She interpreted his remorseful sentiment “as absolutely sincere,” she said.

Prejean said she talked with Tsarnaev about both their faiths, his Islam and her Catholicism.

“I talked about how in the Catholic Church we have become more and more opposed to the death penalty,” she said.

Miss. community mourns two cops killed in traffic stop Tim Doherty

Hattiesburg (Miss.) American HATTIESBURG, MISS .

The slaying of two police officers here has drawn national attention as Attorney General Loretta Lynch vowed to offer “any possible aid” to the community as it investigates the incident.

Hattiesburg Police patrolmen Benjamin J. Deen and Liquori Tate died Saturday night after being shot shortly before 8 p.m. while making a traffic stop.

One of the officers was shot in

the face and the other was struck under his vest, said Albert Santa Cruz, Mississippi commissioner of Public Safety.

Four suspects made a court appearance Monday. Marvin Banks, 29, and Joanie Calloway, 22, both of Hattiesburg, were charged with two counts of capital murder, while Banks’ brother, Curtis Banks, 26, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder. Cornelius Clark, 28, was charged with obstruction of justice.

rad asked Prejean what she heard in Tsarnaev’s voice when he spoke about the victims’ suffering.

“It had pain in it,” she said.

Prejean, who has been a nun since 1957, said she started meeting with Tsarnaev in early March at the invitation of his lawyers.

She had met with him as recently as a few days ago, she said.

Conrad asked her about her impressions of Tsarnaev when she first met him.

“I walked in the room, I looked at his face and said, ‘Oh my God, he’s so young!’ ” she said.

Throughout its case, the defense team has emphasized Tsarnaev’s youth and impressionability.

In the gallery, bombing victims shook their heads and looked around incredulously when Prejean said Tsarnaev was remorseful.

On cross-examination, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb listed Prejean’s credentials as an activist. She confirmed she wants the death penalty abolished.

tragedy,” said state Rep. Toby Barker, a Republican from Hattiesburg. “Everyone in our community feels this one.”

In a statement Monday, Lynch echoed Barker’s sentiments.

“The shocking assault on law enforcement officers in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, struck at the heart of that great city. ... And we will continue to do all that we can to protect our officers across the country and support all those

who wear the badge.”

Lynch noted that the deaths of Deen and Tate happened while the nation is observing Police Week, “when we pause to remember and honor the more than 20,000 law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty.”

A memorial service for Deen and Tate was held Monday, where Gov. Phil Bryant praised police officers: “The will of the men and women who wear that badge is strong.”

Deen, 34, a six-year veteran, left behind a wife and two children. Tate, 25, had been on patrol less than a year.

NEW YORK A vibrantly colored Picasso painting of a harem of women in Algiers became the highest selling painting ever at auction.

Les Femmes d’Alger, or Women of Algiers (Version O), fetched $179.4 million at Christie’s New York Monday night, the auction house announced.

Also at the auction, Alberto Giacometti’s life-size sculpture Pointing Man sold for more than $141 million, setting a sculpture record. The work depicts a skinny, 5-foot-high bronze figure with extended arms.

The auction record for a painting had been $142 million for Francis Bacon’s Three Studies of Lucian Freud, in 2013. The sculpture record was $104 million, for Giacometti’s Walking Man I. Picasso’s oil-on-canvas painting full of vibrant reds, bright yellows and electric blues created in the 1950s is part of a series, according to Christie’s. The Spanish painter was inspired by an 1834 work by Eugene Delacroix that now sits in the Louvre.

ANDREW BURTON, GETTY IMAGES

The artwork Women of Algiers (Version O), painted by Pablo Picasso, is displayed at Christie’s on Monday in New York City.

Picasso intended the series to be an elegy to his friend, Matisse, who died just weeks before Picasso started the works.

Picasso spoke of creating his own version, author Francoise Gilot wrote, saying he had her take him to see the Delacroix painting once a month. The Delacroix work featured women in a harem smoking from a hookah.

The painting was among two dozen masterpieces from the 20th century Christie’s offered in a curated sale titled “Looking Forward to the Past.”

The prices are guided by investment value as well as collector behavior, experts say.

“I don’t really see an end to it, unless interest rates drop sharply, which I don’t see happening in the near future,” Manhattan dealer Richard Feigen said told the Associated Press.

Impressionist and modern artworks continue to corner the market because “they are beautiful, accessible and a proven value,” Sarah Lichtman, professor of design history and curatorial studies at The New School, told the news organization.

Heal, dude: Medicinal pot for pets?

Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

DENVER Just as millions of Americans use marijuana to ease their chronic pain and cancer-treatment side effects, some animal owners are giving pot to their pets.

Advocates say cannabis doggie treats can be a safe and effective complement to traditional veterinary medicine, especially when animals are nauseated, unwilling to eat or struggling with constant pain.

Most of the treats are made with hemp, which contains low levels of THC, the compound in marijuana that gives a “high.”

The treats are sold under names like Hemp For Hounds and Treatibles.

“I wish I had found it sooner,” said Deanna Poirier, a veterinary technician from Massachusetts who gave cannabis extract to her dying German shepherd, Kendra.

Although the idea might conjure images of owners blowing pot smoke in dogs’ faces, Lisa Parshley of the Olympia Veterinary Cancer Center in Olympia, Wash., said people usually give the marijuana inside a treat.

Parshley, a veterinary oncologist, said she’s not quite ready to prescribe marijuana to dying animals but understands why some owners would try it.

Residents of 23 states and the District of Columbia are allowed to use marijuana for medical reasons, generally to address the side effects of chemotherapy, chronic pain, glaucoma and seizures. Although animals aren’t the same as humans, marijuana may provide some relief, Parshley said.

James R. Healey USA TODAY

Swedish automaker Volvo has said that it will build its first U.S. factory near Charleston, S.C., spending $500 million on a plant with an initial capacity of 100,000 vehicles a year.

Volvo is owned by the Chinese company that makes Geely-brand cars, making the facility the first Chinese-owned auto assembly plant in the U.S. Geely already has factories in Sweden and China.

Volvo outlined the investment in March. The Volvo plant will add to the auto industry’s growing presence in South Carolina, which also has BMW and Mercedes-Benz factories.

The Berkeley County Volvo factory will make the latest-design models for sale in the U.S., as well as cars for export. Volvo says it’ll begin building the plant this fall and expects to roll the first new Volvo off the line sometime in 2018.

Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com, notes that the move is especially

Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars

significant because it’s the first time a Chinese auto company “has made a substantial investment in U.S. manufacturing infrastructure. It illustrates how critical the North American region continues to be, even with China’s ascension to the largest new-car market on the planet.”

Volvo says the new U.S. factory “forms part of an ambitious medium-term expansion plan to double global sales, boost market share and lift profitability.”

Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars, said, “This new global industrial footprint and a com-

plete product renewal forms the foundation for our growth and profitability targets.”

The automaker once had a chokehold on the safety image, but less so these days as other makers have become more aggressive about pitching their safety technology. Such features increasingly are expected in the U.S. and have been working their way down from luxury cars and trucks into sub-$30,000 vehicles.

Volvo, which is pursuing a plan to revive the brand with a new lineup of vehicles, sold 56,366 vehicles in the U.S. last year, down 7.9% in a total new-vehicle market up 5.9%, per Autodata.

Volvo sales the first third of this year put it ahead of very few companies — and behind the likes of boutique, high-dollar brand Land Rover, Autodata says.

The Volvo decision to join BMW and Mercedes in South Carolina spotlights the success of Southern states in attracting auto factories, particularly foreignowned, non-union plants.

GM IGNITION SWITCH DEATHS HIT 100 Compensation fund may cost up to $550M Greg Gardner

Detroit Free Press

The number of deaths caused by General Motors’ defective ignition switches increased by three to 100 last week, according to a weekly update from the fund created to compensate victims.

The GM Ignition Compensation Fund, led by Ken Feinberg, has 626 applications yet to review out of the 4,342 that were submitted between last August and Jan. 31. About 72% of those applications have been deemed ineligible for any compensation.

The fund staff has found 12 cases where people suffered lost limbs or suffered brain damage or pervasive burns in crashes that were primarily caused by the defective ignition switches. They are eligible for significant payments.

Another 172 people who suffered less severe injuries that required hospitalization or outpatient treatment have been offered compensation.

The claims arose from GM’s recall of about 2.5 million small cars, mostly Chevrolet Cobalts

Citigroup confirmed Monday that it could plead guilty to an antitrust charge as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice over evidence that traders of the U.S.-based global bank manipulated foreign-exchange currency rates.

Publicly acknowledging the potential guilty plea for the first time, Citibank said in a quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it “is in active discussions” with federal prosecutors about a potential resolution of the foreign-exchange investigation.

Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, British banking giant Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland are expected to plead guilty to criminal antitrust charges and collectively pay billions of dollars in penalties as part of a group settlement that U.S. officials could announce as early as this week, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

However, bank officials are continuing talks with U.S. officials, and a final resolution could require additional time, one person familiar with the negotiations said Monday.

Swiss banking giant UBS is also expected to reach a settlement, but is likely to receive immunity from prosecution because it was the first bank to step forward and cooperate with U.S. investigators pursuing the foreign-exchange

case, the person familiar with the investigation said.

JPMorgan reported in a quarterly filing last week that it was in the “advanced stages” of discussions with the Department of Justice and the Federal Reserve regarding a foreign-exchange settlement.

The U.S. criminal investigation focuses on evidence that bank traders attempted to manipulate the $5.3-trillion-a-day foreign-exchange market by pushing currency rates up or down to benefit their own transactions.

Royal Bank of Scotland boosted its reserves for the expected settlement to roughly $1.07 billion, the bank reported in an April 30 filing. Similarly, Barclays reported that it had increased its total reserves for investigations and litigation primarily related to foreign exchange to approximately $3.8 billion.

Citigroup, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and London-based HSBC in November agreed to pay $4.3 billion collectively in civil settlements of foreign-exchange investigations by U.S., British and Swiss financial regulators.

The foreign-exchange cases represent the most recent in a series of financial corruption cases that have tarnished the image of major banks. Investigators in the U.S. and around the globe have extracted costly settlements from banks whose traders manipulated financial benchmarks used to set rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, loans and some complex financial derivatives.

Citigroup’s Monday filing reported that Justice “has decided to decline prosecution” with respect to an investigation of the bank’s activities and practices related to the London Interbank Offered Rate, the rate-setting benchmark known as Libor.

On Monday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note ticked up as high as 2.28%, up from around 2% in late April. It resumes an upward move that began earlier this month amid fears of a Federal Reserve rate hike, and a sharp rise in rock-bottom government bond yields in Germany at a time there were early signs of economic improvement in the eurozone and a resulting drop in global deflation fears.

Higher yields cause all sorts of headaches. When the yield on the 10-year note goes up, it means borrowers have to pay more for

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

money they borrow on things like mortgages and student loans. A quarter of a percentage point rise won’t break the bank, but it does mean you’ll have to cough up an additional $15 a month for each $100,000 in mortgage debt. But if rates jump further, the financial bite could become more painful.

A sharp rise in yields also tends to spook stock investors. Not only do rising bond yields make stocks, especially ones purchased mainly for their dividend yields, appear less attractive, but higher borrowing costs at some point could cause economic activity to slow, and crimp corporate earnings.

For now, the yield on the 10year note is still well below where it has been historically, so the pain will be felt less. Still, Monday’s yield spike marks the highest level since Christmas Eve, with the last close above 2.28% on Dec. 5.

Despite some reports that Americans are not saving as much as they should, a new financial scorecard shows that a growing number are taking advantage of 401(k) plans and other tools.

The most recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch 401(k) Wellness Scorecard, released today found that 78% of those who made a move regarding their 401(k)s in 2014 did something positive, such as starting to contribute or increasing the amount.

The overall number of people contributing to those savings plans rose 18% last year. But the spike among Millennials was particularly significant: 64%.

“After the financial crisis, it was difficult for some Millennials to find work (or think) about financial wellness,” says Steve Ulian, managing director within Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s institutional retirement business.

He adds that Millennials are also believed to be skeptical of institutions. The jump “is a telltale sign ... that perhaps Millennials are getting a little bit firmer footing in their financial lives.”

Eric Roberge, a certified financial planner whose firm specializes in serving Millennials, attributes their increasing use of 401(k) plans to the financial education many access online. “ Millennials are learning the basics,” he says. They “understand the benefit of at least contributing enough to receive the employer matching contribution.”

Several recent studies have shown that Americans are lagging when it comes to saving, sparking concerns that they may not have what they need to retire or make it through emergencies.

Limiting your losses is smart, but not free

Q: Can I buy ‘stock market insurance’?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you’re worried about a stock market decline, you’re not alone. There are strategies to protect yourself.

With chatter about stock market “bubbles” here or there, it’s understandable investors constantly feel the stock market is a dangerous place. Many investors can recall the vicious declines of 2008 and 2009 to know how ugly stocks can get.

There are ways to manage the risk.

The closest thing to buying insurance for your portfolio is the options market. You can buy a so-called protective put that gives you the right to sell a stock to another investor for a pre-agreed upon price.

These puts can be very valuable if a stock craters, as you can essentially pass the losses to the person you bought the put from. But these options come at a price — kind of like an insurance premium — that can eat into your returns.

If you’re buying individual stocks and don’t want to pay for options, you should have your exit point in mind. It’s a good idea to cut losses at 10% of your purchase price.

Lastly, the best protection from volatility is diversification. All investors need to spread their investments across different asset classes, including shares of companies of different sizes and valuations and foreign stocks as well as bonds.

based on Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s 2.5 million 401(k) plan participants, could indicate that the tide is starting to turn.

“I think the jury’s still out,” Ulian says. However, there’s a “trend ... for people being able to take a longer term view of their financial situation.”

With more companies offering health care plans with high deductibles, a growing number of employees are also taking advantage of health savings accounts, which allow money to be put aside, tax free, for medical expenses. Bank of America Merrill Lynch found that there was a

36.7% rise in the number of new health savings accounts between 2013 and 2014.

A gradually improving economy, and ubiquitous messages emphasizing the need to shore up financially are likely sparking some of the increased use of these various savings tools.

“I think the financial crisis is receding,” Ulian says. “I think that’s an absolutely critical criteria for people to think longer term. ... And you have an incredible amount of focus on this topic ... driving people to think, and think very seriously, about their long-term financial future.”

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

If you have a happilyever-after script, something involving gauzy gowns and decent proposals, please don’t send it to January Jones.

On AMC’s Mad Men, which airs its finale Sunday, she has perfected the disdainful glare of Betty Draper Francis, who in Sunday’s episode learned she has terminal lung cancer. On Fox’s comedy The Last Man on Earth, which has just been renewed for Season 2, she’s Melissa Shart, the lust interest of main character Phil Miller (creator and star Will Forte). And in Good Kill, in theaters and on demand Friday, she’s the frustrated wife of a drone pilot (Ethan Hawke) who has posttraumatic stress disorder.

So it’s no wonder that for NEW YORK

Jones, “bad marriages are more interesting than good ones. No one wants a show about a happily married couple. It’s so boring.”

In real life, Jones, 37, is, some entertainment outlets have reported, dating Forte, something she will neither confirm nor deny.

“It’s refreshing to go to work and laugh,” she says. Forte “is so funny. ... He works harder than anyone. He’s there all the time, writing, editing. He’s a nice boss to have.”

Which of the characters she has recently played is closest to the real Jones? “The one on Last Man. I don’t really feel like I’m acting. It’s my sense of humor.

She’s super-dry. I’m also no-bull.”

Says Good Kill director Andrew Niccol: “She swears like a truck driver. She drinks beer with you.

Indeed, Jones has on a jumpsuit, which she bought during a brief trip to Manhattan so she wouldn’t need to shave her legs.

There’s so much freedom in playing her. She messed up so much and she’s so flawed. I loved it. Betty tries her best.”

Fox unveiled a revamp that features five new series, an allnew Tuesday lineup — and a final season of American Idol.

The network, down 20% this season despite quick-starting Gotham and the biggest new hit in hip-hop soap Empire, will front-load its week with comedies starring John Stamos and Rob Lowe; a remake of futuristic Steven Spielberg movie Minority Report; and Scream Queens, a “comedy-horror” series with Emma Roberts and Lea Michele.

But the end of fading Idol, after a valedictory 15th season next year, is likely to draw as much interest, signaling the end of an era.

A huge hit in its heyday, the show ushered in other singing contests including The Voice, which has since eclipsed it.

Fox’s NFC championship game, and then moves to Mondays. Other midseason series include Lucifer, based on the DC Comics character, and The Frankenstein Code, about a disgraced ex-sheriff who’s brought back to life.

HOPPING ON A BIKE is a great way to get or stay in shape.

A beginner’s guide to a pedal-pushing summer

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

In May, the sun hangs higher in the sky, grass grows greener and the days stretch on. The outdoors beckon.

For some, the thought of stepping out their front doors can be daunting, but the summer need not slip by. Those first few steps are easier than you think.

Thinking back to her formative years, Lisa Rasor said she never considered herself all that athletic.

Although she owned a bicycle for quite some time, Rasor said, she didn’t consider herself a cyclist until 1995. That’s when a friend recruited her to a team of cyclists riding the MS150, a twoday, 150-mile ride benefitting those with multiple sclerosis.

“I was a band geek and a bookworm in high school, and to do something that physical was not something that really came natural to me,” she said. “But 1995 is when I really got into it, and finding I could do it was a huge accomplishment and it felt really good. I just got hooked.”

Since that ride, Rasor has made an effort to participate in several rides each year. One of

WHERE TO RIDE

Enjoy the ride There are plenty of races to ride all across the country, Rasor said. But she prefers to compete against herself and enjoy the rides, especially if she’s got company along the way.

“There are folks who are part of competitive teams, and they get a lot of fulfillment out of it and that’s great,” Rasor said. “But that’s not the only option. You can do it just for fun and share that experience with other people without having to compete.”

Just a bike Not only are there both physical and mental benefits to cycling, Hughes said, but it’s also easy to get started, especially since so many people already own a bicycle.

“The bare essentials are a bicycle, air in the tires, and it needs to stop and it needs to go,” he said. “That’s pretty much the cost of admission to riding a bike and feeling the wind in your hair.”

While a properly fitted helmet isn’t mandatory, Hughes

said it is a prudent addition and he encourages all cyclists to protect their heads. Those planning to ride at night are also legally required to mount a front headlight and rear deflector on their bikes, he added.

Rather than loading up on unnecessary gear, it’s best to get started, focus on the experience and let that dictate what to buy in the future, Hughes said.

Before getting started, Hughes said it’s important for each cyclist to ensure their seats are set to the correct height and their handlebars are set at the proper distance. This can be done by visiting a professional or by trial and error.

Kurt Mason, an outpatient physical therapy supervisor at Kansas University Medical Center, said cyclists should seek to fully extend their legs with each pedal rotation. Over or underextending can lead to knee problems over time.

When considering handlebars, Mason added cyclists should aim for a “relaxed reach.”

“If you’re too far away and your arms are fully extended it can draw the shoulder blades away from the spine and pull on the neck,” he said.

Dr. Wes: Over the years, I’ve developed a robust method of selecting Double Take co-authors using seven judges, blind review of two essays, weighted scaling and interviews.

The result: Year after year, readers in Lawrence and on our extended media get to read some of the strongest teen writers in the area discussing cutting-edge issues of interest to parents and teens alike.

We ended up with six finalists this year — five girls and one guy. Two came from LHS, three from Free State, and one from Bishop Seabury Academy. All but one were seniors.

While we’ve always invited rising juniors, only Julia Davidson won as a sophomore, way back in 2007, when this year’s winner was in about fourth grade. It’s rare that a 16-year-old combines the maturity, wisdom, writing talent and journalistic experience to win.

This year, however, Kansas Gibler, a talented rising junior at Lawrence High School, came within 10 points (out of 300) of doing just that.

Kyra and I were big fans of her work and we both encourage her to apply again next year. As a senior, she’ll be hard to beat.

As runner-up, she’ll take over if the winner can’t complete the term.

That winner is Gabe Magee of Bishop Seabury. He scored a close second on the first essay with a well reasoned, thoughtful answer that showed empathy for the letter writer’s situation.

His second essay, which we’ll publish later in the year, was even better on a very difficult topic.

Why a good night’s sleep is important for your health (and how to get it)

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Lack of sleep can leave us cranky and inefficient at work, but did you know it can lead to serious medical problems including stroke and heart attack? If it is hard for you to fall asleep or stay asleep, you may have a sleep disorder, according to the National Institutes of Health. People who wake up tired or feel very sleepy during the day may also have an issue.

Dr. Lida Osbern will discuss “To Sleep, Perchance to Dream? About Sleep Issues” on Tuesday, May 19, at the monthly Senior Supper and Seminar presentation at Law-

rence Memorial Hospital.

Osbern is co-medical director of the LMH Sleep Center and Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine — Reed Medical Group.

The four main types of sleep issues disorders are: l Insomnia, which is characterized by having a hard time falling or staying asleep l Sleep apnea, which is characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep l Restless legs syndrome, which is a tingling or prickly sensation in the legs l Narcolepsy, which is referred to as daytime “sleep attacks” You should talk to your health care provider if you are having trouble sleeping or are experienc-

Your bedroom should be cool — between 60 and 67 degrees — and free from any light or noise that can disturb your sleep. l Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.

Rasor, Hughes and Mason all agree cycling is a fantastic way to transition into an active lifestyle.

And while the options of who, what and where are limitless, it’s best to gear up, hit the road and let the experience speak for itself.

Trial and error can also be applied to cycle routes, Hughes said. Some cyclists prefer gravel roads to hills, streets or bike

paths, he said. It’s all about tailoring the experience to what feels best.

“It’s a really great feeling to know you’ve pushed yourself past what you thought you could do, or pushed yourself past the expectations others had of you,” Rasor said. “It’s amazing. You can do more than you think you can.”

Dear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and apparently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She married someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce because of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them.

My wife died a year ago. A few months later, Hazel contacted me. We hit it off right away. She lives three hours away, so we take turns visiting every two weeks. We get along very well, except when the subject of Larry

comes up.

Hazel says her relationship with him is over now that I’m in the picture, but I discovered that he had stopped by again with a gift. She said she didn’t let him in the door. The other day, she slipped and called me “Larry.”

She apologized, but you can imagine how that made me feel. I’m starting to believe I’m her rebound guy. I think she is crazy about Larry and if his wife should

‘American Idol’ is past its prime Does anybody care about “American Idol” (8 p.m., Fox)?

The top two contestants perform tonight, hoping to be crowned tomorrow amidst a sea of confetti. Do you have an emotional stake in their performances? Are you rooting for a winner? Do you even know their names?

Not terribly long ago, the final two helpings of the “Idol” season were the most eagerly anticipated and watched nights of the year.

In 2008, the “Idol” final had an audience exceeding 30 million.

Last year, it had roughly a third of that.

This season, “Idol” has seen its total viewership decline from 11 million to just under 7 million last Wednesday. And its share of the 18-49 market, once its strength, has eroded even faster. Last week, “Modern Family” had twice as many viewers in that age group.

If “Idol” were just another program, you’d assume that Fox would simply churn it out year after year for a faithful audience, like “Survivor” on CBS. But unlike “Survivor,” “Idol” is supposed to be a springboard for musical superstardom. It seems the show’s lackluster ratings and tepid “buzz” are beginning to reflect in the pop charts.

A January Billboard article by Jason Lipshutz suggested that recent “Idol” winners Caleb Johnson and Candice Glover possessed strong musical talents, but that their debut albums had modest-to-weak sales because “most casual music fans have no idea who they are.”

The article suggested that both “Idol” and its artists would be well served with a long break.

The emergence of “The Voice” has not helped “Idol.”

But perhaps its real competition is not traditional television, but YouTube and other streaming services. Viewers can discover talent or watch dreadful auditions on their own, without having to endure the belabored nature of “Idol” and its many commercials and time-wasting teasers — or Ryan Seacrest, for that matter.

Tonight’s other highlights

Local bombings and global terror on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS).

Insecure ports on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS).

Lines get crossed in an allout war on “Marvel’s Agents of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” (8 p.m., ABC).

die, she’d be at his door in a heartbeat.

Is it possible for Larry and Hazel to be such good friends without something more going on? He even told her about his erectile dysfunction, but I worry that may have come from first-hand knowledge. Hazel says she loves me and has for years, but the “greeneyed monster” has taken over my heart, and I don’t know how to get rid of these jealous feelings. — Very Confused Dear Confused: Your jealousy is not completely unfounded. Hazel rejected Larry not because she dislikes him, but because he is married. If that obstacle didn’t exist, there is indeed the possibility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he seems to be quite interested in

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, May 12: This year you might feel as if you can’t get enough time alone.

Your friends make it clear how much they like to hang out with you. If you are single, you will have many potential suitors, but someone of significance enters your life after summer. If you are attached, the two of you have a great time together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might have a nagging sense that something is off, and you could have a hard time getting past it. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your energy is abundant, and it will become more evident by midday. You’ll have a lot of ground to cover. Tonight: Where people are. Don’t be alone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might wonder about your choices. How you see a personal matter could change drastically. Tonight: The fun begins now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone at a distance. When you speak to this person, you tend to feel empowered. Tonight: Settle in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Be direct in how you deal with someone. This person might need to have an important conversation with you. Tonight:

her. Their relationship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that is why you react so negatively toward him.

You are not the rebound guy. You’re the backup. Hazel needs to tell Larry to pay more attention to his wife — no more gifts, no more surprise visits, no more intimate confidences, and the friendship must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to him is stronger than it should be. Either give her time to see whether she becomes more connected to you, or let her go.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could have an opportunity to present a personal matter differently. Tonight: Blaze your own trail.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a new friend or associate. You are likely to enjoy this person’s wild imagination.

Tonight: Make it easy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be far more dynamic if you sift through everything you hear without projecting.

Tonight: Add your intensity to the mix.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Coming from a centered space could be a problem. Your mind seems to drift to personal matters. Tonight: Take a walk.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be up for a change in the near future. Listen to news with an open mind. Tonight: On top of a problem.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with money matters, but make decisions only once you are confident. Tonight: Buy a favorite meal on the way home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a strong sense of direction. How you handle a personal matter could radically change. Tonight: Impulsiveness feels good!

Kansas football MVP up in air

’Bird word is the

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Sometimes, it’s easy to predict a college football team’s MVP coming into a year, as was the case with Kansas University in advance of Todd Reesing’s final two seasons.

Other times, it’s a challenge, which can be either a good or bad thing.

Three players from the 2014 KU roster were drafted and eight others invited to NFL training camps, which meant plenty of candidates existed a year ago.

Most would have guessed linebacker Ben Heeney and would have been correct.

Former Baylor basketball signee Kobie Eubanks, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound graduate shooting guard who played this past season at Elev8 Sports Academy in Delray Beach, Florida, will make an official recruiting visit to Kansas University, Saturday through Monday.

Eubanks, who is ranked No. 101 in the recruiting Class of 2015 by Rivals.com, has also scheduled a visit to Alabama from May 19-21. He said on Twitter on Monday that he also will visit West Virginia.

Eubanks signed with Baylor over finalists Pitt, Missouri, Florida and Wichita State his senior year at Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, where he was a teammate of KU signee Cheick Diallo. Prior to that, he played three seasons at American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida.

Eubanks, who did not qualify academically after averaging 18.5 points as a senior at Our Savior, decommitted from the Bears this past November and made official visits to Oregon and Texas and an unofficial one to Maryland. At one point he also considered Georgia, UCLA, Alabama and Missouri.

After signing with Baylor in April of 2014, Bears coach Scott Drew said: “Kobie is blessed with a scoring mentality and he’s one of the better scorers and three-point shooters in this class. He comes from a private Christian school, where he’s well-liked both on and off the court, and he’ll be a great fit for our program and a great representative of Baylor University.”

According to the Miami Herald, Eubanks and his dad, Clayton, filed a $75,000 lawsuit in Oct. of 2014 against American Heritage High, accusing the school of manipulating Eubanks’ grades.

A story on that issue is available at http://ljw. bz/1RxIY7g “Physical and strong, Eubanks is a wing who is all about putting up numbers on the offensive end,” Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi writes.

“He is very confident in his ability and scores in a variety of ways. He can get to the rim, has a nice midrange game and when he is hot with his deep jumper he’s one of those guys capable of going off for big numbers.”

Rolltidehoops wrote: “Kobie is considered to be a sharpshooter with a good ability to guard, and an excellent athlete. A development of his all around game is necessary. Bottom line, with skill development and his ability to guard, he could be a high level player.”

Eubanks’ brother, Nick, a 6-foot-6, 208-pound junior at American Heritage, is one of the top football players in the Class of 2016 and has been offered by Alabama.

New York (ap) — The NFL came down hard on its biggest star and its championship team, telling Tom Brady and the Patriots that no one is allowed to mess with the rules of the game.

The league suspended the Super Bowl MVP Monday for the first four games of the season, fined the New England Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks as punishment for deflating footballs used in the AFC title game.

“Each player, no matter how accomplished and otherwise respected, has an obligation to comply with the rules and must be held accountable for his actions when those rules are violated and the public’s confidence in the game is called into question,” NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent wrote to Brady.

The Patriots lose next year’s first-round pick and a fourthround choice in 2017.

BRIEFLY

Woodland drops 1 spot in rankings Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland missed the cut in last weekend’s TPC Sawgrass, which caused him to drop just one spot, from 32nd to 33rd in the World Golf rankings.

By finishing second to Rory McIlroy in the 2015 Match Play Championship the previous week, Woodland soared from 52nd to 32nd.

According to owgr.com, the official website of the World Golf Rankings, “Official events from the leading professional tours from around the world are eligible for Ranking Points, which are awarded according to the tournament’s strength of field and the players finishing position.”

The site went on to say that “points are accumulated over a two-year ‘rolling’ period with the point awarded for each event maintained for a 13-week period to place additional emphasis on recent performances. Ranking points are then reduced in equal decrements for the remaining 91 weeks of the two-year ranking period. Each player is then ranked according to his average points per tournament, which is determined by dividing his total number of points by the tournaments he has played over that two-year period.”

As illustrated by Woodland’s recent moves in the World Golf Rankings, doing well against a strong field helps a golfer much more than doing poorly against a strong field hurts a competitor.

Hawks 106, Wizards 101 Washington — Suddenly, the Atlanta Hawks went from soso in the playoffs to looking a bit more like a No. 1 seed.

“That’s how we play. That’s how we’ve been playing all year,” forward Paul Millsap said. “Things we didn’t do, pretty much all series, we did tonight.”

Jeff Teague scored 26 points, Millsap added 19 points, six assists and five rebounds, and Al Horford had 18 points and 10 rebounds as three of Atlanta’s four All-Stars played significant roles to help the Hawks beat the Wizards on Monday night and even their secondround series at two games apiece.

Washington’s lone All-Star, point guard John Wall, missed a third consecutive game with a broken left hand.

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night at Atlanta.

“To me, personally, I think this is the best we’ve played all series,” said Millsap, who had eight points in Game 3, when he was dropped from the starting lineup because of flu-like symptoms. “Thirty assists, the way we played defense, the way we stepped up, the way we helped each other, the way we moved the basketball, the way we set screens.”

Firebirds third at regionals

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The Free State High doubles tandems of sophomore Ian Pultz-Earle/ freshman Erik Czapinski and sophomores Jonah Pester/Seamus Ryan earned bids to the Class 6A boys tennis state tournament when they powered the Firebirds to a third-place finish at Monday’s regional at Rock Chalk Park.

Pultz-Earle and Czapinski teamed to take third place, while Pester and Ryan followed in fifth.

“It’s exciting to have four out of the six guys qualify, especially since all four are first-time state qualifiers,” FSHS coach Oather Strawderman said.

The Firebirds scored nine points, trailing only champion Shawnee Mission East (23) and SM Northwest (11).

Each of the FSHS doubles pairings went 3-1 on the day and dealt with plenty of adversity. PultzEarle and Czapinski won their opening match, 6-1, 6-0, over Lawrence High’s Chanse Bowie/Sam Allen and then earned a spot in the semifinals with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over SM West’s Kyle Sawatzky and Christopher Holcomb, but then they ran out of gas against SMNW’s Nathan Schmidt and Reagan Walsh. The FSHS No. 1 doubles team won the first set against the Cougars duo on a tiebreak, but dropped the next two to lose the match.

“Getting third is tough because you lose one and then you have to be in the next match ready to play,” Pultz-Earle said.

That experience paid off as the Firebirds dispatched SM East’s Barrett Cooper/Lane Anderson, 6-3, 6-4.

couple of years now,” said Hearnen, who recorded his fifth save of the season, one shy of tying the school’s singleseason record. “I really enjoy it. I really like my team having confidence in me.”

Gudde (7-0) opened the game with a lead. In the first inning, Bowlin reached on an error and scored on an RBI single from senior Joel Spain.

The Firebirds were held to just two hits — singles from sophomore Jacob Pavlyak and Hearnen — over the next four innings against LHS righthander Nick Haynes, who didn’t strike any batters out, instead forcing plenty of fly outs.

LAWRENCE HIGH NO. 1 SINGLES PLAYER ELLIOTT ABROMEIT also qualified for state in singles play.

FREE STATE’S ERIK CZAPINSKI CHIPS A RETURN during No. 1 doubles play at the regional tennis tournament Monday at Rock Chalk Park. Czapinski and doubles partner Ian Pultz qualified for this weekend’s state tournament, along with the Firebirds’ No. 2 doubles team.

FSHS’ No. 2 doubles team’s path to secure a berth to state was a bit more difficult. Ryan and Pester coasted past LHS’ Jonathon Kinder/Michael Braman, 6-1, 6-0, but ran into the SM East dynamic duo of eventual champion Jeff Larrabee and Elliott Renft in the second round.

That meant that Ryan and Pester would have to win their next match against Topeka High’s Michael Joens/Chris Gernon to stay alive. After the Trojans pushed the match to a third set, the Firebirds had a chance to close out the match, leading 5-4 in the third.

However, Joens and Gernon jumped to a 4030 advantage in the 10th game and had Ryan and Pester on their heels. The seasoned sophomores put Topeka away with three straight points.

“Those are the moments you always train for,” Ryan said. “It’s those kind of pressure situations that you just have to go for it.”

Ryan and Pester fol-

lowed that up with another three-set win over Sawatzky and Holcomb to cap their fifth-place finish.

Lawrence High finished seventh overall and got a state qualifier of its own in No. 1 singles player Elliott Abromeit.

The Lawrence High junior went 2-2 on the day to earn a sixth-place finish and reached the goal he has been trying to attain since he arrived at LHS. “This is all I’ve wanted since my freshman year,” Abromeit said.

“I’ve worked pretty hard to get here.”

Abromeit ousted SM South’s Nick Fowler in straight sets before getting shut out by eventual runner-up Matthew Gonzales of Topeka.

Next was a matchup against SM North’s Anthony Giambalvo, with a trip to state on the line.

Abromeit rose to the occasion and knocked out Giambalvo, 6-0, 6-1.

LHS coach Chris Marshall could not stop raving about Abromeit’s continued improvement as the Lions’ top player.

“He’s developed into a leader. As a freshman, he was kind of a goofy kid,” Marshall said. “He has stepped into the leadership role, and he cares about the game of tennis and cares about his teammates and wants to get better at the sport.”

Throughout the day, Abromeit’s character showed, whether it was offering a bandage to Fowler or complementing his last opponent on an ace.

“Sportsmanship is kind of a no-brainer to me. I see a lot of kids out here who aren’t as nice,” Abromeit said. “It’s such a competitive sport, and there’s always so much pressure on the individual. Friendliness is just what it needs to be.”

Although Abromeit went on to lose to Claerhout in three sets, Marshall said that the LHS junior played some of the best tennis in his career in the middle of the match.

Abromeit and the four FSHS state qualifiers will be competing at Friday and Saturday’s tournament in Olathe for the first time.

“I’m just going to play my best, and if I play my best and lose, that’s fine,” Abromeit said. “I played my best, and that’s all I can really ask for.”

Free State added a run in the seventh inning when junior Mikey Corbett was hit by a pitch and scored on an error.

Though the Firebirds wished they could’ve added more runs, they were confident in their pitching to hold the lead.

“Hunter has been great for us all season,” Hearnen said. “He’s really stepped up this year comJohn Young/Journal-World Photo ing off an injury where he FREE STATE’S COOPER KARLIN BEATS A PICK-OFF ATTEMPT didn’t really pitch all that AT SECOND BASE before Lawrence High’s Michael Sinks much.

FREE STATE’S EMILY BERMEL (2) BEATS OUT A THROW TO FIRST BASE as Lawrence High’s Megan Sumonja waits for the ball during the Firebirds’ 13-3 win against LHS Monday.

a smiling Bermel said afterward. “People on the bench, people in the stands, our coaches, us. I was bawling through the whole thing. You kind of just have to suck it up and realize you came here to play a game and that’s what you’re here for.”

The tears didn’t last for the Firebirds (11-7), who jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first with RBIs from junior Kate Stanwix and Ross. And it turned into a full-blown party in the second, when FSHS sent 14 batters to the plate, cranked eight hits and plated a whopping nine runs.

Free State coach Lee Ice found it a welcome response to a 12-11 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas two days earlier, when his team blew a 9-2 lead.

“Really, what we needed to do was get that bad taste out of our mouth,” the coach said.

Junior Haley Jump and Bermel jump-started the curative second with bunt singles, and Cobb drove them home with a ground-ball triple that ended up in the rightfield gap.

RBI-singles off the bats of junior Emily Byers, junior Cali Byrn and sophomore Mayah Daniels followed soon after, and with the bases loaded, junior Elizabeth Patton and Jump drew RBI walks.

Bermel delivered her second hit of the inning with an RBI single, Jump scored on a wild pitch, and Lawrence trailed 11-0.

Senior leadoff hitter and center fielder Bermel said the Firebirds made a point to get off to a hot start, in part because they don’t want to split the season series with their rivals — Game 2 comes at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at LHS. “Obviously, the nine runs helped us immensely,” Bermel said after going 3-for-4 and robbing Lawrence’s Sophie Taylor of an extra-base hit in the fifth inning, “because that’s a crooked number, and that’s what hurt us on Saturday.”

Prior to the rivalry

game, the Firebirds completed what was a 14-0, first-inning lead Thursday against an overmatched Shawnee Mission West team by winning 32-0 in three innings. The Lions then handled SMW, 10-0. But only FSHS kept its bats hot for the final game of the day at FSHS. The Lions (10-8) got on the board in the third, when junior Taylor led off with a single, and senior Morgan Byrn knocked her in with a deep sacrifice fly.

LHS junior Sami Mills drove in sophomore Annie Grammer in the fourth, and Byrn plated senior Kenzie Garvin in the fifth, but the Lions couldn’t find nearly enough offense to extend the game past a 10-runrule loss.

Byrn liked that they put up a fight and didn’t get shut out, but a persistent issue kept Lawrence from doing any more damage against FSHS junior pitcher Patton (five strikeouts, three walks, seven hits allowed in five innings).

“Hitting the balls up in the air, giving them easy outs,” Byrn said of the Lions’ chief issue. “They just hit the ball. They had nice hits that we couldn’t defend — that’s why they’re hits.”

Almost the instant the game concluded, both sides began thinking about the coming rematch.

“They’re gonna be mad,” Bermel predicted.

“They’re probably horribly mad about this game, because of the score.”

The Lions’ Byrn confirmed her team’s eagerness for some swift revenge.

“We’ve gotta protect our home turf,” the senior said. “We’re confident we can play them better than we just did. There’s no worries here.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Back home, O’s edge Jays The Associated Press

American League Orioles 5, Blue Jays 2 Baltimore — Manny Machado and Chris Davis hit first-inning homers, Ubaldo Jimenez had a season-high nine strikeouts over seven sharp innings, and the Orioles celebrated their return to Baltimore with a victory over Toronto on Monday night.

Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who had lost five of six to fall into last place in the AL East.

Because of rioting and violence in the city, the Orioles last played in front of their home fans on April 26. Enjoying the comfort of familiar surroundings and fueled by a spirited crowd of 20,468, Baltimore took a quick 3-0 lead and cruised to the finish behind Jimenez (3-2).

In their previous game at Camden Yards, the Orioles won on April 29 behind closed doors, a decision made for fan safety.

Although the atmosphere in the city remains tense, the fans appeared delighted to turn their attention toward baseball.

Wearing “Baltimore� on their home white jerseys instead of the customary “Orioles,� the home team provided many a feel-good moment.

The lefty missed most of last season with a knee injury.

Rodriguez put the Yankees up 1-0 on his eighth homer this season and 662nd overall, a long drive to left field in the first.

The right-hander had won four straight before Wednesday’s 3-0 home loss to Cincinnati.

Making his first start at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, Cole improved 5-0 with a 2.36 ERA in his last seven road outings. The Pirates have won four of five overall, and seven of eight against the Phillies dating to last season.

Odubel Herrera hit his first major league homer in the ninth off Mark Melancon, who held on for his eighth save. Philadelphia (11-22) has dropped 10 of 13.

Braves 2, Reds 1 Cincinnati — Pinchhitter Phil Gosselin singled off Aroldis Chapman to open the ninth, stole a base and scored on the closer’s 103 mph wild pitch, rallying Atlanta.

The Braves snapped a three-game losing streak and sent Cincinnati’s best

reliever to his second loss in two days.

Chapman (1-2) also gave up a ninth-inning run during a 4-3 loss to the White Sox on Sunday — the first run he had allowed all season.

On Monday, Gosselin singled up the middle on a 100 mph pitch, Nick Markakis singled on a 98 mph fastball, and Gosselin stole third.

Cubs 4, Mets 3 Chicago — Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo homered on consecutive pitches in the first, leading Jon Lester and the Cubs over the Mets.

Lester (3-2) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, and three relievers from Chicago’s struggling bullpen closed it out.

Justin Grimm and Zac Rosscup each got three outs before Hector Rondon finished the six-hitter for his seventh save in eight chances.

The Cubs opened the bleachers in left and center for the first time this season at Wrigley Field, and Bryant provided a stirring welcome with a two-run shot to left for the prospect’s first homer at the cozy neighborhood ballpark.

Nationals 11, Diamondbacks 1 Phoenix — Denard Span and Ryan Zimmerman homered in the first

inning, and Washington rolled from there, winning its fifth in a row.

The Nationals, coming off a weekend sweep of Atlanta, scored 10 runs in the first two innings, nine off starter Josh Collmenter (3-4).

Yunel Escobar had his second career five-hit game, both in the past week.

Max Scherzer (3-3) shut out the Diamondbacks before giving up a home run to Jordan Pacheco in the sixth.

The former Arizona first-round draft pick allowed five hits in seven innings. He struck out six, walked one and even had two of the Nationals’ 15 hits.

Royals sleepwalk to 8-2 loss to Texas Arlington, Texas (ap) — Adrian Beltre and the Texas Rangers offense is starting to show some pop. Colby Lewis keeps giving them solid outings on the mound.

Beltre homered for the second day in a row, getting the 399th of his career, while newcomer Thomas Field hit his first as the Rangers beat the weary Kansas City Royals 8-2 Monday night.

“I’m feeling better,” said Beltre, who has raised his average from .140 to .244 over the past 20 games. “Offensively, everybody is doing better. No doubt that we didn’t want to start as slow as we did, but it’s a long season, and we need to start picking it up a little bit.”

Prince Fielder also homered for the Rangers to back Lewis (3-2), who allowed one run on three hits over seven innings.

ROYALS MANAGER NED YOST COVERS HIS MOUTH AS HE YAWNS in the dugout before the Royals’ 8-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday in Arlington, Texas.

The 35-year-old righthander has allowed just two runs over 21 innings his last three starts.

“You can see the look, he talks about how good he feels,” manager Jeff Banister said of Lewis, who

struck out five and walked two. “Right now, it’s a very nice look in how he shows up for every start.”

The defending AL champion Royals didn’t arrive in Texas until about 5:45 a.m. Monday

after their 10-inning, raindelayed victory at Detroit that ended after midnight.

“It’s definitely a factor, but it’s all part of the grind,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “I don’t know if that was the reason. You’ve got to credit those guys. They played a good game over there, and Lewis pitched well.”

Danny Duffy (2-2), who traveled ahead of his teammates, matched his career high with six walks while pitching only 3 2-3 innings. He struck out four while giving up six runs and five hits.

Beltre’s fourth homer this season was a two-run shot in the fourth. That made it 6-1 and matched him with Al Kaline and Andres Galarraga for 52nd all-time on MLB’s career home run list.

Field, called up earlier Monday after struggling second baseman Rougned Odor was sent

to Triple-A Round Rock, led off the seventh with his homer. Field’s 34th career MLB game was his first for Texas.

Texas scored four times in the second, after Duffy walked the first three batters and No. 9 batter Delino DeShields hit a two-run double. A wild pitch by the lefty sent home another run before Shin-Soo Choo had an RBI single.

Choo, who has an 11game hitting streak but is still hitting only .194 on the season, had a leadoff single in the fourth before Beltre’s blast on the last of Duffy’s 97 pitches.

Fielder homered leading off the eighth. His third of the year matched his total in his Rangers debut last season, when he played only 42 games before neck surgery.

Kendrys Morales had an RBI single for the Royals in the fourth.

O-lineman commits to KU SCOREBOARD

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football program picked up its second oral commitment in the Class of 2016 on Monday night, when Snow College offensive lineman Joe Malanga pledged his services to the Jayhawks.

According to a report from JayhawkSlant. com, Malanga, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound sophomore-

to-be who is on track to be a December graduate, made the commitment official with a phone call to KU O-line coach Zach Yenser.

Malanga was one of five players from Snow College who made a visit to KU this spring to check out the campus and take in a practice.

“Joe really liked it,” Snow recruiting coordinator Chaz Ryan told JayhawkSlant’s Jon Kirby.

“During the visit he talked about how he could see himself playing at Kansas. He really liked coach Yenser and coach (Kenny) Perry. The visit to Kansas had a positive effect.”

Malanga, an all-region selection out of Bingham High in Utah, originally enrolled at Utah State but later transferred to Snow.

Last season he played tackle and guard. He is

FSHS grad Frantz signs

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Three years ago, former Free State High basketball standout Brett Frantz entered Neosho Community College with a goal of earning a scholarship offer from a Div. I program.

Last week he picked up his first offer, and he signed his letter of intent to play for Youngstown State University in Ohio on Monday. He will have two years of eligibility with the Penguins.

Frantz wasn’t the only former FSHS basketball player to commit to a Div. I school this month.

Khadre Lane, who also played for two years at Bishop Seabury Acade-

my, committed to Campbell University in North Carolina.

“I’m very excited,” Frantz said. “I went down on a visit this past week, and I really liked the school, and I really liked the coaching staff.

There’s a guy I know already at the school, and there’s another guy from Neosho County, who plays baseball and is going there next year. So I think it’s going to be a good fit.”

Frantz, a 6-foot-3, guard, averaged 14.2 points last season at Neosho, his third year at the school and one he nearly decided not to play in.

He graduated after his second year, but still had a year of eligibility at

Neosho because he took a medical red shirt during his first year after sustaining facial fractures from an elbow at practice.

After talking with his parents and his coach, Jerry Coombs, Frantz decided to return, hoping it would lead to a Div. I school.

“I sat down with my parents and talked about pros and cons, I guess, of going back,” said Frantz, who plans to major in business management. “I ended up just deciding to do it. I was happy with my choice, and it worked out.”

Frantz averaged 13.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists during his senior year at Free State, shooting 37 percent from behind the three-point arc.

Was on the radar of national powerhouses who waited to see if he would qualify academically before offering. He fell short and headed to Navarro (Texas) Junior College, where he averaged 1,918 rushing yards in two seasons and in 2014 was NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year. At 5-9 and maybe 180, he’s a small target who makes himself even more elusive by running with pads low to the ground. Extremely strong for his size, he impressed KU’s coaches with his vision and balance. Canadian Football League star Jon Cornish holds KU’s single-season record with 1,457 yards, an average of 121.4 yards per game. Might as well aim high.

Someone will take the opportunity and run with it all the way to stardom.
