t’s early Sunday morning, and Pastor Gary Myer is starting up a 21-passenger bus. He will spend more than two hours on his route this morning, picking up kids to take them to his church for breakfast and Sunday school, and then taking them back home afterward. Myer has been doing the bus route for almost 40 years. This morning, Myer, 72, makes his way up an uneven front sidewalk to knock on the door of the first house on his route.

Topeka — The Kansas Senate met late into the night Sunday debating a proposal to balance the state budget next year, mainly by repealing a number of sales tax exemptions. In the end, though, the Senate could only agree on one part of the proposal, reducing the overall sales tax rate. But it voted 30-9 against the main part repealing a host of sales LEGISLATURE tax exemptions that would have raised nearly $600 million in new revenue — enough to pay for the rate reduction and still fill in the $400 million revenue shortfall in next year’s budget.

Police headquarters study could go on into November By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Mary Lou HugHes Mary Louise Vansant Hughes, 90, passed away peacefully at her home in Vale, SD, on May 10, 2015. Mary Lou was born on March 24, 1925, to James and Jewell (Lovinggood) Vansant. She spent an idyllic childhood in Dewey, OK, where her beloved father practiced medicine for nearly 50 years. After graduating from Dewey High School in 1943, Mary Lou spent her freshman year at Southwestern College in Winfield, KS, majoring in music. She then transferred to Kansas University in Lawrence, KS, and became an English major. Throughout her life, Mary Lou upheld the sanctity of the English language, freely chastising any poor soul who dared violate “the rules”. Transferring to KU proved to be a turning point in Mary Lou’s life; it was there she met her soulmate, Harry Lewis Hughes. On February 7, 1947, Mary Lou and Harry were married in Danforth Chapel, on the KU campus. The couple began their “gypsy lives” in 1954, when Harry entered the Foreign Service. They were posted in South America (Chile and Uruguay), Africa (Benin, Chad and South Africa), and the Caribbean (Haiti). Learning everything possible about the local culture and art was Mary Lou’s passion. While living in Portau-Prince, Haiti, Mary Lou collected over 100 paintings and other art objects. That superb collection, which Mary
Lou donated to KU’s Spencer Museum, gained even more importance after the earthquake in Haiti destroyed most of the art housed in the country’s museums. Following Harry’s retirement, he and Mary Lou settled in Lawrence, KS, home of their alma mater. They thoroughly enjoyed the 20 years spent there, which included yearly trips to Villa Malu, their seaside home in Spain. One of Mary Lou’s favorite activities was volunteering as a docent at the Spencer Museum; she particularly relished giving tours to groups of school children. In June 2012, Mary Lou and Harry moved to the great plains of South Dakota to be near their daughter and her family. Mary Lou was brave, resilient, curious, and she embodied an enormous “joie de vivre”. Her survivors include daughter Amy (Greg Pauley) and grandson Ethan; son Roger (Renee Martonik) and grandson Rex; a number of nephews and nieces; and her extended family of caregivers -- especially long-time “angels” Judy, Linda, Donise and Nancy. She was preceded in death by husband Harry, son Jeff, daughter Connie, parents James and Jewell Vansant, brother James, and sister Martha. Mary Lou’s ashes will be laid to rest in the Vale Cemetery during a private family gathering. A memorial has been established with Hospice of the Northern Hills.

cool, and when a 9-yearold girl comes to the door in a sleeveless dress, he sends her back inside for her jacket. Myer said the idea for the bus route came from the instruction given by Jesus to go out to the streets and the lanes of the city and bring people in. “He must have had the bus ministry in mind,” Myer said. “He didn’t say ask them to come in, he said bring them in.” Stop by stop, the seats of the bus fill with children. Most sit quietly, and when one child mentions being hungry, several others agree. One says, “I’m used to it.” The church started providing breakfast a few years ago after Myer said he asked one of the children what she’d eaten that morning and she responded that she hadn’t eaten anything. Myer, who graduated from Clarks Summit, Pa., Baptist Bible College & Seminary in 1965, now called Summit University, marked 50 years as a minister on Sunday. After work in a few other churches, he founded the Lawrence Baptist Temple, 3201 W. 31st St., in 1976 and began his bus ministry the following year. Myer said that at the time, he didn’t know anything about starting a church. “I just knew how to knock on doors and invite people to come,” he said.

“
(Jesus) must have had the bus ministry in mind. He didn’t say ask them to come in, he said bring them in.” — Pastor Gary Myer, of Lawrence Baptist Temple

the price tag goes up.” Commissioners are operating on a tight timeline if they hope to come up with a plan for a police facility in the 2016 budget. Commissioners generally have budgets completed by the end of July. Prior to the April City Commission election, Farmer had staff members present an option that would allow the city to build a $26 million police headquarters on city-owned land without raising sales or property taxes. But the plan would shift large amounts of funding away from the city’s parks and recreation maintenance activities and would cause several street projects to be delayed by several years. The April elections resulted in three new commissioners being elected to the five-member commission. The new commission has yet to have a discussion about whether it finds the no-tax increase plan feasible. The plan also has yet to receive a positive recommendation from the city manager’s office. Farmer said he’s not sure when he may bring that plan up for debate by the commission, calling it “just one idea.” “Am I going to put that plan on an agenda and try to get three votes?” Farmer said. “Not without having

EDITORS The buses also make stops at the Lawrence Community Shelter and First Step at Lakeview, an addiction treatment center for women, if someone indicates an interest in attending. Myer said such inclusion is just following the example of Jesus. “If Jesus would welcome them, we’ll welcome them,” he said. “We don’t turn anyone away.” To plan his Sunday route, Myer does a preroute on Saturdays, stopping by his regulars’ houses to see if they’d like to be picked up the next day and also knocking on new doors, inviting adults to service and their kids to Sunday school. Myer said that between both buses, they usually pick up about 20 kids, who sometimes bring along their parents or friends. “It’s almost like having one match to start a fire,” he said. This morning, Myer’s bus is almost full. About an hour into his morning route, he drops off 12 children and one adult at the church and then heads back out to make a few more stops. But even on mornings when he only picks up a few people, Myer said he doesn’t let it discourage him. “They’ll know that I stopped by,” he said, “And then at least they can’t say, ‘Pastor Myer didn’t come by.’” After exiting the bus, the children enter the church, which is heavy with the smell of syrup. They sit down at long tables where plates and cups are passed. Jerry

Conway, parishioner and church trustee, said that Myer’s dedication to bringing boys and girls into the church makes him stand out. “It’s been an inspiration to me as well as other people in the church,” he said.
A ‘people man’ Another characteristic of Myer’s that Conway said is important is that he sticks to the Bible and the message of Jesus. “He doesn’t preach politics or tell anybody how good they are,” he said. Parishioner Janet Hoover said that Myer’s sermons have messages that speak to the common individual and what people deal with on an everyday basis. “Pastor Myer is an everyday people man,” she said. Hoover said that even when Myer was going through his own personal struggles, he was still there for the people of the church. Myer’s wife of 51 years, Shirley, passed away in March after being ill for several years. Hoover said that despite that, Myer was supportive during that time. “We all knew all we had to do was pick up the phone, day or night,” she said. Reflecting back on the many years he has spent as a minister, Myer said he hopes he has several more to come, “maybe even another decade.” The time, he said, has passed quickly. “It sounds like a lot, but when I look back over those 50 years, it’s just an instant.”
If really what we need most of all is more police officers or higher pay for police officers, we need to know that. We have to balance all these things.” — City Commissioner Stuart Boley some more conversation.” Boley said he has seen the details of that plan and has concerns about whether it would leave the city with enough financial flexibility for the future. “I would worry about the impact that would have on the entire city government,” Boley said. “I’m new at this, but to me that didn’t seem like the optimal solution.” Coming up with a new sales tax to fund a police headquarters building also appears to have some hurdles. Any new sales tax would require a citywide vote. Given that voters rejected a sales tax in November, Farmer said he is unlikely to support another sales tax proposal for the project. “I think one of the reasons it lost was because it was a sales tax,” said Farmer, who said talk in Topeka of raising the statewide sales tax will only make a local increase more difficult. Figuring out why voters did reject the November sales tax proposal may be important in how the City Commission proceeds. Boley said he believes the community still has questions about “what, where, how much, and how to pay for” a new police facility.
Pearson Collision Repair 749-4455
The questions of where and how to pay for a facility are widely acknowledged as still being outstanding issues. But several supporters of a police project have contended the questions of what and how much have largely been answered. A city-hired consultant/architect has recommended a 62,000-square-foot facility that includes covered parking for police vehicles, an indoor firing range and other features. The police chief has strongly endorsed that recommendation. But Boley said the problem is many residents have not. “Some people haven’t agreed on the ‘what,’” Boley said. “It is important that we convince them of the need. We have to engage them and answer their questions.”

Boley said that may involve the ad hoc committee taking a broader look at police needs. Boley said he did not find that the consultant’s report went into much depth to determine what the police department’s staffing needs really are. “If really what we need most of all is more police officers or higher pay for police officers, we need to know that,” Boley said. “We have to balance all these things.” Boley has suggested the names of several high-level executives to serve on the ad hoc committee, including former Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger; former president and CEO of the Kansas Regents Reggie Robinson; Paul Carttar, former COO of the Kauffman Foundation and former executive vice chancellor at Kansas University; Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center CEO David Johnson; and Charles Epp, a professor at KU’s School of Public Administration.

Senate reverses course on judicial funding bill By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock
The Kansas Senate endorsed a bill Sunday that funds the judicial branch of state government for the next two years. But the funding would go away if the Kansas Supreme Court overturns a 2014 law that takes away the court’s power to name chief judges of district courts. Only a day earlier, the Senate had voted 21-18 to reject that
bill and send it back to an up or down vote, a conference commitand if it passes there, tee. But Sen. Michael it will be sent to Gov.

cluding the funding for the courts, are overturned as well. In February, Judge Larry T.

Victims of human trafficking face overwhelming obstacles in escaping their captors for good. In more cases than one might think, what they need more than anything else is a lawyer. With this in mind, Kansas University clinical associate professor Katie Cronin taught KU’s first Human Trafficking Law and Policy class this spring. While earning credit for the course, law students went to work on real cases. “It’s sort of shocking how many areas of the law huKANSAS UNIVERSITY man trafficking does impact,” Cronin said. “I feel like it’s probably a good idea to make sure that our students have some exposure.” For the victims Cronin and her students are seeking to help, the path to getting legal help starts in the emergency room.

Wichita developer starts problem-solving ‘civic hacking’ group “
By Kelsey Ryan
The Wichita Eagle
Wichita — For local developer Seth Etter, the best way to solve a problem is to look at the data. Etter is the organizer behind Open Wichita — a new “civic hacking” group that aims to solve community problems and increase government transparency through public information, The Wichita Eagle reported. The idea is simple: Identify community problems, look for solutions in data and present those solutions to public officials.
Some examples of issues Open Wichita could tackle include creating an app to show all the bike paths in town, or analyzing data already gathered by the city to show public officials ways to solve transit problems, Etter said. Although the projects the group pursues could intersect with local politics, Etter says his goal is for the group to not become politicized. He wants the solutions to be guided by the data. Open Wichita is not just for tech types, Etter says. The group needs people with the common
goal of civic engagement, from all backgrounds. “I want anybody who has an idea about what to fix in the community to come,” Etter said. While “hacking” tends to have a negative connotation, Etter says that it’s more about being able to come up with creative solutions, and in this case, using technology. “We’re not doing anything illegal by any means,” he said. One of the partners in the new venture is the city of Wichita, which will help provide members ideas of what kind of data is available and in
We’re not doing anything illegal by any means.”
— Seth Etter, Wichita developer what formats. “The fact that we’re already getting support from the local government is huge. A lot of cities give pushback,” Etter said. “It gives us a lot of hope for the group.” Mike Mayta, director of IT for the city of Wichita, says partnering with the group helps meet the city’s goal of making Wichita a better community.
“It’s also an opportunity for us to extend resources that we can’t normally afford,” Mayta said. As a way to get people talking about potential projects, Open Wichita will host a kickoff event from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 6 at the Labor Party. Lunch will be provided. June 6 is the National Day of Civic Hacking, an offshoot event of Code for America, which is made up of a network of groups across the country that aim to “build open source technology and organize a network of people dedicated to making government ser-
vices simple, effective, and easy to use,” according to its website. Some examples of what other cities have done through similar events include a website called Aunt Bertha, which helps people find public assistance for food and housing based on their ZIP code; Captricity, which allows people to more easily search and share public data; and CityVoice, a call-in system for residents to give feedback to public officials. Etter hopes the group will meet monthly after determining several projects that it wants to pursue.

Partnership Clinic, a collaboration between the School of Law and the School of Medicine’s Department of Family Medicine. The clinic is part of KU’s Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Initiative, or ASHTI, a working group housed within KU’s Institute for Policy and Social Research. It was through work with ASHTI that Cronin first heard of a humantrafficking victim who had been identified by a medical provider. While there’s not extensive research on the topic, Cronin said reports indicate that high numbers of human-trafficking victims pass through emergency rooms. Cronin’s idea: Train Kansas University Hospital staff to watch for red flags to identify victims, then connect them with social services, including the legal clinic. Such red flags might include avoiding eye contact, not knowing what city they’re in, letting the person who brought them in speak for them because they don’t speak English, having certain illnesses such as sexually transmitted diseases, having injuries that don’t match their stories, or not being in control of their own personal documents or passports. Cronin said the clinic has helped victims get restraining orders, name changes to make it harder for their former trafficker to find them, access to medical or psychological care, and an application for a special visa for individuals who cooperate with law enforcement to prosecute their trafficker. Those are processes that would be difficult if not impossible — financially and emotionally —
— Former Sen. Bob Dole, on presidential campaign stops
Associated Press File Photo
Former Sen. Bob Dole in 2014 Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who announced that he wouldn’t be running for re-election to his Senate seat, “probably has more leeway than Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.” Cruz, notably, skipped the confirmation vote for Attorney General Loretta Lynch after repeatedly vowing to oppose her nomination, in order to attend a fundraiser for his presidential campaign. Dole chuckled when asked about a time in 1995 that he and thenMajority Whip Trent Lott, R-Miss., scolded the Senate for missing Monday votes. “We’re paid to be there,” Dole said. “I know many of these senators live quite a ways away from D.C. … But yeah, we did — I wouldn’t say threatened — but we’re supposed to be there making things happen, and I think we did the right thing.” Dole said for presidential aspirants to succeed, they must get out and meet the voters and pitch their vision for the
country. It might sound pretty intuitive, but Dole said it was one of his weaknesses. “My trouble was staying on message,” he said. “I always tried to mix humor into my speeches, and sometimes we were having so much fun that I forgot what I was supposed to tell the people.” Dole stopped short of endorsing any candidate, but he said he is “interested” in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and noted a close relationship with the Bush family. Governors such as Walker and Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal have argued governors are best suited to be president because of their executive experience, while senators such as Rubio counter that a senator’s foreign policy experience gives them the advantage. The country has favored governors as president in recent times; aside from President Barack Obama, the last person to win the presidency as a senator was John F. Kennedy, who
was a senator from Massachusetts from 1953 to 1960, Dole said. (Other senators, such as Richard Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson, went the V.P. route.) “Well, Obama was senator for a couple of days,” Dole conceded. “But the last senator really was Jack Kennedy who got elected.” Dole agreed that in general, governors are better suited to be president, but there are advantages to being in the Senate, too. “I think the governors have a point, but I think if you’ve served in the Senate for a few terms, you’ve got a pretty good feel for what people really want done and what changes ought to be made,” he said. “Governors don’t have the foreign policy experience you get in the Senate.” But any advantage can be a disadvantage in politics depending on how it’s spun. “I was there 28 years, but I was accused of having too much experience,” Dole said. “I was a
for trafficking victims to tackle on their own. A visa application and supporting evidence that a student worked on this spring, for example, is hundreds of pages long and required a certain level of expertise, Cronin said. Training the next generation of law students will help stop human trafficking, and attacking it at the “nexus” of medical and legal venues is unique, said Hannah Britton, ASHTI director and associate professor of Political Science and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. “All of these survivors need immediate legal assistance,” Britton said. “The problem is that this is a hidden population because it’s a criminal activity ... Most victims are very scared to come forward because they are fearful of arrest or deportation. They’ve been isolated, and the traffickers are very skillful at creating fear.” Cronin said she hoped to teach the class again. While it’s not a core part of the law curriculum, she said certain students have a strong interest and it’s a niche that helps the community. “Human trafficking has been viewed as a coastal problem. People don’t always grasp that its victims originate in the Midwest as well. There are victims of all ages, both male and female, and it’s a problem both foreign and domestic,” Cronin said. “We have this cohort of law students who will graduate and pursue a range of legal work but who will now have awareness of this complex problem.” Cronin and Britton said prevalence of human trafficking is difficult to determine. Only isolated cases reach prosecution, and the media. One case, however, was filed just last month in Lawrence.
In April two Lawrence residents — both citizens of China — were charged with human trafficking and promoting the sale of sexual relations at a local massage parlor. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates more than 20 million children and adults worldwide are trafficking victims at any given time. ASHTI is conducting research in the Kansas City metropolitan area — which it describes as a “focal point of human trafficking, with emblematic migration patterns for domestic and international labor forces.” In addition to studying laws such as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, this spring’s law class produced projects to guide attorneys, victim advocates, police and health care workers in
helping trafficking victims. For example, Lauren Bavitz prepared a Know Your Rights brochure for trafficking victims served by the Willow Domestic Violence Center, and Marci Mauch created training materials to help police and health care professionals spot signs of human trafficking and offer help at the hospital. They see their work from the class helping victims in the real world, both students said, in a news release from KU. “Often, legal remedies are unattainable for those who do not know where to look,” Bavitz said. “I hope that in distributing the brochure throughout Kansas, I can connect a few victims and families to the legal remedies they need.”
‘Washington insider.’” Particularly since the passage of sex trafficking legislation a few weeks ago, Republican senators lauded productivity. Dole agrees. “I just talked to (Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell (the other day) and I think they are getting back to normal,” Dole said. “Every committee is meeting, they’re starting to crank out legislation and they’re receiving bills from the House. You got to give them a little time, but I think you’re going to start seeing a lot of action in both the House and the Senate.” Much has been made about an intraparty conflict between tea party and establishment Republicans. But Dole said this is nothing new. “I consider myself a traditional Republican conservative, but there were some who felt that wasn’t enough,” Dole said. “But we got along and we were able to work together, except maybe in some cases that I don’t remember.” Dole, now special counsel at Alston & Bird, noted his thoughts on the Senate could only be so deep because he is no longer there, but it’s clear he’s still very in touch with Washington. Mauch said she hoped her guide would make a difference for “the health care providers to be able to identify the victims, the victims to receive the help they need to escape or overcome their situations and attorneys and law enforcement to be able to identify the traffickers, build a case against them and help the victims.” — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

New business would specialize in smoked meats P
erhaps your barbecue experiments during this long, rainy, period have left you looking for a new place to buy smoked meats. (As I’ve said multiple times, I didn’t know we used the laundry room that much, and in my defense, I did fully open the window.) Well, plans are in the works for a new Douglas County business to become a regional supplier of smoked meats. Brian Strecker, a former chef at the now-defunct Pachamamas, has filed plans to open The Burning Barrel on the site of a former Christmas tree farm west of Lecompton. Strecker plans to produce a variety of bacons, hams, sausages and other products that will be sold to restaurants and grocery stores throughout eastern Kansas. Most of the products will be produced from livestock raised right here in the area. “My main focus is to provide people with a product that is from Kansas, processed in Kansas and that stays in Kansas,” Strecker said. The idea of farm-totable is a popular one with the the restaurant industry. Strecker said he has had good response from restaurants thus far. He said The Roost in

Making stairs, slightly more simply
B
uilding a set of stairs is a tricky endeavor. Using a pair of brass stair gauges and a builder’s square to mark the stringer (the zigzag boards the steps and risers attach to) can make the job a little easier. Step 1: Sand the outer edge of a 2x12 board to make it as smooth as possible. When using stair gauges, a nick or knothole along the edge could offset the measurements enough to make the stairs uneven. Step 2: Lay the 2x12 on a solid surface and place the builder’s square on the far right side with both legs of the square hanging over the edge of the board. Step 3: Attach a stair gauge on each of the out-

Linda Cottin er edges of the square. Step 4: Position the square so the measurement on the inside of the right leg of the square corresponds with the desired depth of the stair tread and the measurement on the inside of the left leg corresponds with the desired height of the stair riser. Step 5: Slide the stair gauges up the square until they butt against the
edge of the 2x12. Tighten the gauges into position. Step 6: Confirm that the inside measurements of the builder’s square correspond exactly with the desired depth and rise of the stairs. Step 7: With the square firmly positioned, draw a straight line on the square from the inner measurement on the right leg to the opposing measurement on the outer edge. (If the inner measurement is 10” the outer measurement on the square would be 111/2”). Step 8: Trace the two sides of the triangle formed by the inside of the square onto the 2x12. Step 9: Move the square to the left and use a tape measure to confirm that the two
edges of the triangle correspond exactly with the desired rise and run of the stairs. Step 10: Position the square so the inner measurement on the right leg is directly over the end of the left side of the triangle that was just drawn. Confirm the line drawn on top of the right leg of the square is parallel with the left side of the triangle. Step 11: Trace the inside angles of the square and continue the process, sliding the square to the left, until there are enough riser and tread marks to form the steps on the stringer. — Have a home improvement question for the Fix-It Chick?

drink called horchata, which somehow involves rice and cinnamon flavors. Francisco said he hopes to have the Lawrence restaurant open sometime in June. As for other Mexican restaurant news, I want to be clear that the popular Mexican restaurant El Potro didn’t go out of business. As we previously reported, it moved to 3333 Iowa St., which indeed did house another Mexican restaurant previously. Back in January I reported that a site plan had been filed at City Hall for a Mexican restaurant to go into the building at 1606 W. 23rd St., which formerly housed the taco-less Pizza Hut. According to the plans on file, Panchos Restaurant, a drive-thru style Mexican restaurant, was slated for the spot. Moore at Colliers International was the broker on that deal as well. She told me recently she believes that project is still moving ahead. Some work has taken place at the site, but it does not appear that an opening is imminent. — These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Kansas job growth lags within region Topeka (ap) — A report shows that private-sector job growth in Kansas has lagged behind other states in the region. Data from the Congressional Joint Economic Committee shows Kansas came in fourth in its five-state region when measuring private-sector job growth since the 2007 start of recession. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that when compared to the beginning of the recession in December 2007, Kansas
private-sector jobs had grown 1.6 percent. Kansas is ahead of only Missouri, which as of April, still had 1.8 percent fewer privatesector jobs than before the recession. The other three states posted more significant growth than Kansas. Colorado, posted 6.3 percent; Oklahoma, 3.4 percent; and Nebraska, 3.2 percent. The position of Kansas improved in recent years, however, and it was third out of five since April 2014 and February 2010.

standing exemptions. Those include exemptions for property or services purchased by public schools, nonprofit hospitals and local governments, as well as items purchased by nonprofit youth development organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Abrams’ proposal stirred sharp, and sometimes biting, debate on the Senate floor between those who view the sales tax exemptions as favors for special interests and those who view them as a way of encouraging certain kinds of social or business activity. “We’ve looked at this over and over and over again, and we always leave them in place,” said Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, who chairs the Senate tax committee. “They’re in place for a reason. They have broad-based support from their constituents.” But Sen. Greg Smith, ROverland Park, said it was unfair that some groups have to pay sales taxes while others do not. “Taxes are wrong. Taxes are legalized theft,” said Smith, a former police officer and ex-school teacher. Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley asked that the proposed cut in the overall sales tax rate be considered separately from the rest of the proposal. That portion, which would reduce state revenues by an estimated $94 million, passed on a unanimous, unrecorded voice vote.

up with another plan for balancing the budget. The idea was offered as an amendment onto a bill that is being used as a vehicle for senators to offer their own tax plans. Republican leaders in the Senate are trying to find any combination of revenue increases that both fill the projected $400 million budget shortfall and receive enough votes in the Republican-led Legislature to pass. “This is an attempt to try to end up with an ending balance in the positive, accelerate the ‘march to zero’ and try to do some good things for the people of Kansas,” said Rep. Steve Abrams, R-Arkansas City, who offered the proposal. The “march to zero” refers to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s goal of eventually eliminating all income taxes and shifting the state’s reliance onto what he calls “consumption” taxes such as sales tax. A portion of Abrams’ proposal would accelerate the scheduled phase-out of individual income taxes and would reduce the top corporate income tax rate to 5.35 percent from its current 7 percent. Abrams’ amendment would lower the overall sales tax rate by two-tenths of a cent, to 5.95 percent, but would remove many long-

force judges into doing something we want them to do, even though it’s unconstitutional.” Senate Vice President Jeff King, R-Independence, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said that between the Saturday and Sunday votes, he had heard from several judges who supported passing the bill, even with the nonseverability clause in it. He contended that while some judges who lobby on behalf of the judiciary had opposed the bill, the majority of judges in the state supported passing it, even though many opposed the controversial language.

Consistency is key Allowing broad discretion in how and when county building codes are enforced only invites inconsistency.
T
here’s nothing “punitive” about consistent enforcement of reasonable county building codes. A system that requires everyone to meet the same standards and play by the same rules provides the kind of consistency and fairness that people expect from a government agency. That’s why it’s hard to understand why Douglas County officials are embracing a “service-oriented” policy that basically would turn county building codes into suggestions, rather than legal requirements, and make enforcement of those codes optional. After the Journal-World’s recent report on lax enforcement of building codes on property owned by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, two county commissioners jumped to the defense of County Administrator Craig Weinaug, saying they had asked Weinaug to adopt a building codes policy that was more serviceoriented and less punitive. The idea, said Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Jim Flory, was “to change the culture” of the zoning and codes office. However, they also acknowledged that actual changes in the building codes may be needed to support the new kinder, friendlier enforcement policy. For instance, the codes should be changed to read that people who begin construction without a permit “may” pay a fine instead of the current “shall” pay a fine. How can a code statement like that be enforced at all, let alone enforced consistently? It basically tells people that violating the code has no penalty. Any time the county attempted to impose a fine, it would be accused of inconsistent enforcement. Stephen Lane, an architect and chairman of the Board of Construction Appeals, summed it up pretty well. “It’s hard to have a code, a legal requirement, and adjust it on a case-by-case basis,” he said. “It’s like ‘maybe we have a speed limit; maybe we don’t.’” Kobach’s treatment was fair, Gaughan said, under the “new approach” to code enforcement. Under that approach, when an inspector finds a builder hasn’t obtained the proper permits, the inspector should explain what was done wrong, get the project “on the right path and move forward from there.” That seems to apply whether or not people were aware they were doing something wrong. Kobach had signed an affidavit saying his building would be only for agricultural use then started to remodel part of that building into a home. The message seems to be: Build whatever you want, however you want. If you get caught, changes may be required, but there won’t be any penalty. It’s great for the county to be helpful to people trying to meet building code requirements, but there have to be penalties for people who don’t meet those requirements. Lax enforcement or penalties on a number of past city projects have prompted considerable criticism. Kobach’s case has raised a lot of questions among Douglas County residents, but whatever occurred in that isolated case isn’t nearly as important as the broader impact of a system that doesn’t ensure consistent enforcement of codes designed to protect the safety and integrity of buildings constructed in the rural parts of the county.

Records mandate frustrates doctors Washington — About a decade ago, a doctor friend was lamenting the increasingly frustrating conditions of clinical practice. “How did you know to get out of medicine in 1978?” he asked with a smile. “I didn’t,” I replied. “I had no idea what was coming. I just felt I’d chosen the wrong vocation.” I was reminded of this exchange upon receiving my med-school class’s 40threunion report and reading some of the entries. In general, my classmates felt fulfilled by family, friends and the considerable achievements of their professional lives. But there was an undercurrent of deep disappointment, almost demoralization, with what medical practice had become. The complaint was not financial but vocational — an incessant interference with their work, a deep erosion of their autonomy and authority, a transformation from physician to “provider.” As one of them wrote, “My colleagues who have already left practice all say they still love patient care, being a doctor. They just couldn’t stand everything else.” By which he meant “a never-ending attack on the profession from government, insurance companies, and lawyers ... progressively intrusive and usually unproductive rules and regulations,” topped by an electronic health records (EHR) mandate that produces nothing more than “billing and legal documents” — and degraded medicine.
Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com
“
The geniuses who rammed this through undoubtedly thought they were rationalizing health care. After all, banking went electronic. Why not medicine?” I hear this everywhere. Virtually every doctor and doctors’ group I speak to cites the same litany, with particular bitterness about the EHR mandate. As another classmate wrote, “The introduction of the electronic medical record into our office has created so much more need for documentation that I can only see about three-quarters of the patients I could before, and has prompted me to seriously consider leaving for the first time.” You may have zero sympathy for doctors, but think about the extraordinary loss to society — and maybe to you, one day — of driving away 40 years of irreplaceable clinical experience. And for what? The newly elected Barack Obama told the nation in 2009 that “it
just won’t save billions of dollars” — $77 billion a year, promised the administration — “and thousands of jobs, it will save lives.” He then threw a cool $27 billion at going paperless by 2015. It’s 2015 and what have we achieved? The $27 billion is gone, of course. The $77 billion in savings became a joke. Indeed, reported the Health and Human Services inspector general in 2014, “EHR technology can make it easier to commit fraud,” as in Medicare fraud, the copy-and-paste function allowing the instant filling of vast data fields, facilitating billing inflation. That’s just the beginning of the losses. Consider the myriad small practices that, facing ruinous transition costs in equipment, software, training and time, have closed shop, gone bankrupt or been swallowed by some larger entity. This hardly stays the long arm of the health care police, however. As of Jan. 1, 2015, if you haven’t gone electronic, your Medicare payments will be cut, by 1 percent this year, rising to 3 percent (potentially 5 percent) in subsequent years. Then there is the toll on doctors’ time and patient care. One study in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine found that emergency-room doctors spend 43 percent of their time entering electronic records information, 28 percent with patients. Another study found that family-practice physicians spend on average
48 minutes a day just entering clinical data. Forget the numbers. Think just of your own doctor’s visits, of how much less listening, examining, even eye contact goes on, given the need for scrolling, clicking and box checking. The geniuses who rammed this through undoubtedly thought they were rationalizing health care. After all, banking went electronic. Why not medicine? Because banks deal with nothing but data. They don’t listen to your heart or examine your groin. Clicking boxes on an endless electronic form turns the patient into a data machine and cancels out the subtlety of a doctor’s unique feel and judgment. Why did all this happen? Because liberals in a hurry refuse to trust the self-interested wisdom of individual practictioners, who were already adopting EHR on their own, but gradually, organically, as the technology became ripe and the costs tolerable. Instead, Washington picked a date out of a hat and decreed: Digital by 2015. The results are not pretty. EHR is health care’s Solyndra. Many, no doubt, feasted nicely on the $27 billion, but the rest is waste: money squandered, patient care degraded, good physicians demoralized. Like my old classmates who signed up for patient care — which they still love — and now do data entry. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Sanders candidacy could help Clinton By Doyle McManus
“
Sanders will give voters a reason to watch the Sen. Bernie Sanders, the self-described socialist who kicked off his Democratic debates — and presidential campaign last Tuesday maybe even get excited about with a characteristically fiery speech, the party’s ideas, an emotion isn’t going to win the 2016 Democratic that’s been missing until now.” nomination unless lightning strikes. Los Angeles Times
To be really effective, in any case, the lightning would have to strike Hillary Rodham Clinton, who holds a prohibitive lead in every poll. But Sanders will still have a major impact on the Democratic race, and that could, paradoxically, be good for Clinton. The Vermont senator preaches a bracing populist message that’s likely to thrill millions of voters on the left, the ones who sometimes dub themselves “the democratic wing of the Democratic Party.” A lot of those progressives are democratic socialists, whether they realize it or not; the only unusual thing about Sanders is that he actually uses the “S-word.” “There is something profoundly wrong when the top one-tenth of 1 percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent,” Sanders said at a raucous lakefront rally in Vermont. “This type of rigged economy is not what America is supposed to be about.” He said he hopes to “begin a political revolution to transform our country economically, politically, socially and environmentally.” And he has a detailed program to do it. Sanders wants to raise taxes on the rich not only to limit the flow of income to the upper crust but also to redistribute some of their accumulated wealth. He wants to impose a federal sales tax on stock trades and other fi-
nancial transactions to pay for free tuition at every public college. He wants to open Medicare to everyone, young or old, creating a European-style single-payer healthcare system. He wants to break up big banks, clamp more regulation on Wall Street and outlaw massive donations to political campaigns. Even without a full-blown national campaign, those ideas have been enough to vault Sanders into second place in surveys of Democrats in early primary states. Well, perhaps “vault” is an overstatement: He draws 15 percent in Iowa and 18 percent in New Hampshire, still far behind Clinton’s 60 percent or so. Here’s the key to those poll numbers: Sanders is winning almost exactly the same levels of support that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., drew in early surveys. Now that she’s made it clear she isn’t running, pollsters are leaving her name off, and Sanders appears to be inheriting her support. So why is this challenge good for Clinton? First, as Sanders himself acknowledges, he’s “a major underdog”; he’s not likely to win. Second, until now, most of the media coverage of Clinton’s campaign has focused on secret emails, entanglements with uranium moguls and outlandish speaking fees. If Sanders forces a ro-
bust debate on issues such as health care, taxes and trade, the media will have to pay attention to that instead. Sanders’ entry into the race will allow Clinton, who has already veered left, to call for vaguely similar policies and still say: “He’s a socialist; I’m not.” On a superficial level, moreover, Sanders’ presence on the stage will make Clinton, 67, seem relatively young. Sanders is 73; if he won the presidency, he’d be 75 at his inauguration, more than five years older than Ronald Reagan in 1981. Finally, Sanders will give voters a reason to watch the Democratic debates — and maybe even get excited about the party’s ideas, an emotion that’s been missing until now. “There are signs that Democratic voters are demoralized,” Andrew Kohut, a pollster at the independent Pew Research Center, told me. “If that persists, it can depress their turnout on election day.” A recent Pew poll, for example, found that only 58 percent of Democrats said they had given a lot of thought to the presidential campaign, down from 71 percent eight years ago. A Sanders campaign won’t be all sweetness for Clinton, to be sure. He isn’t a forgiving soul; he has already come close to calling the likely nominee a plutocrat. At this stage, Sanders can’t beat Clinton; only Hillary and Bill Clinton can beat Hillary Clinton — in the form of new problems with emails or finances or other peccadilloes as yet undiscovered. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

City commissioners will consider transferring ownership to Lawrence Public Schools of 1.3 acres of property that is adjacent to Pinckney Elementary School, but technically is part of Clinton Park.
BACKGROUND The school district has had a long-term lease to use the property as a playground and parking area. As the school district is set to begin improvements at Pinckney, it has found a need to own the property to accommodate access issues at the school. Neighbors and historic preservationists have expressed concern about the transfer of historic park property to the school district, but staff members are recommending approval after the school district has agreed to two provisions. They are: a no build easement that would prohibit future structures from being built on the property, and a provision that the city will have a right of first refusal if the school district ever chooses to sell the property.

WHAT HAPPENS TODAY
USA TODAY
The Senate on Sunday let key sections of the Patriot Act law expire at midnight, but voted to advance a bill that would eventually replace its most controversial provision. The drama on the Senate floor over the anti-terrorism law, passed in the wake of 9/11, highlighted sharp divisions within the Republican Party over privacy concerns and national security. Allowing portions of the Patriot Act to expire carried immediate implications for government surveillance programs. “Tonight begins the end of bulk collection,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. The Senate voted 77-17 to advance the USA Freedom Act that would end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of phone data of millions of AmeriWASHINGTON

COOL STUFF
1
The “lone wolf” provision of the law expires. This allows U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies to target surveillance at suspected terrorists who are acting alone without direct ties to terrorist groups or rogue nations. It specifically says it does not apply to U.S. citizens.
2 3
The “roving wiretap” provision expires. This allows federal agencies to monitor a person rather than a specific phone or electronic device. Approval for the surveillance must be obtained from a federal court.
Section 215 of the Patriot Act expires. This section has generated the most controversy and debate because the National Security Agency has used it as the basis to collect the phone records of millions of Americans not suspected of any crime.
4
Lesser-known powers under Section 215 also ends. While the mass collection of phone records by the NSA has been the focus of attention, this section of the law is also used by the FBI and CIA to collect other information. For example, the CIA uses it to track financial data, such as wire transfers. The FBI has used it to obtain companies’ Internet business records.
5
All investigations of phone records under Section 215 of the law will not stop immediately. A clause in the Patriot Act allows the NSA to continue investigations it has already started. The agency collects data that shows who made and received calls, how long those calls lasted, and when they happened.
cans not suspected of any terrorist activity. But final passage won’t come until later this week. Paul, a presidential candidate, would not consent to an expedited final vote on the USA Freedom Act on Sunday, wanting to first let sections of the Patriot Act that he says violate Americans’ privacy rights expire. He said federal agents could still seek a warrant to monitor suspected terrorists without Patriot Act powers. “This is a debate over the Bill of Rights,” said Paul. “This is a debate over your right to be left alone.” The House passed the USA Freedom Act on May 13. President Obama said he would sign it into law. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said it was risky to let the Patriot Act provisions expire as the U.S. is being threatened by the Islamic State and other terrorists. “To go dark on this is a risk of Americans’ lives,” he said.

LONDON Uber-Richskis (rich Russians) is the new byword for opulent dwellers in some of the most exclusive neighborhoods here. A continent away in Vancouver, the number “8” — a symbol of good fortune in China — adorns windows of real-estate brokers. More than 3,000 miles south of that Canadian city, Miami has become the housing mecca for Latin American millionaires seeking a haven from political and economic chaos that threaten their wealth at home. A handful of elite cities around the world have increasingly become magnets for residential investments from super-rich foreigners looking for safe places to park their fortunes. They invested approximately $25 billion in cross-border residential real estate in 2014, according to Chicago-based Jones Lang LaSalle, an investment management company that specializes in property. Living in the world’s most desirable cities has long been associated with exorbitant housing
prices for a multitude of reasons, ranging from high infrastructure costs to demand that far outstrips the supply. Yet this vast injection of wealth is increasingly contributing to soaring home prices in places as far flung as London, Vancouver, Miami, New York, Panama City, Istanbul and Sydney.
Foreigners invested approximately $25 billion in cross-border residential real estate in 2014, according to a report. It has also distorted home prices in some city centers beyond the reach of all but the world’s wealthiest individuals at a time when 330 million urban households worldwide live in substandard housing, the McKinsey Global Institute estimates.

Clemency push for drug offenders making little progress Just 2 inmates had terms commuted Gregory Korte USA TODAY
A Justice Department push to shorten long drug sentences through President Obama’s clemency powers has gotten off to a slow start: Obama has commuted the sentences of just two of the tens of thousands of federal inmates who have applied through the program. Lawyers involved in the effort say the year-old clemency initiaWASHINGTON
tive has been hampered by the complexity of the cases and questions about the eligibility criteria, which may still be too strict to help most of the prison population. The result is a system that appears even more backlogged than it was before the initiative began. “The criteria basically suggest that a whole bunch of good citizens who committed one little mistake got significantly more than 10 years in prison, and fortunately that’s pretty rare,” said Johanna Markind, a former attorney-adviser in the Office of Pardon Attorney who left in March.

President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch
“I think they’ve kind of belatedly realized that people are doing their jobs, and those perfect cases they think are there don’t really exist,” she said. “The clemency initiative has only come up
with a handful of cases that fit” the criteria. The clemency initiative was intended to help federal inmates who would have received shorter prison terms had they been sentenced today. That applies mostly to drug offenders after Congress shortened sentences for crack cocaine in 2010. To be eligible, inmates must have already served 10 years of their sentence. Last year, a record 6,561 federal prisoners — three times the usual number — filed petitions with the Justice Department’s Office of Pardon Attorney, which advises the president on all requests for clemency.
More than 30,000 federal inmates applied for representation through the Clemency Project 2014. But 13 months later, volunteer lawyers have submitted just 31 petitions. And while Obama has used his pardon power to shorten the sentences of 43, most of those cases predate the clemency initiative. Over six years, Obama has granted 0.2% of commutation petitions submitted. To be eligible under the program, inmates must be low-level offenders with no ties to gangs or cartels. They must have demonstrated good conduct in prison, have no significant criminal history and no history of violence.

and even upper-middle-class families — urban life in these cities is out of the question. “The international picture is very obviously what I call ‘flight money,’ ” said Matthew MontaguPollack, publisher of the Global Property Guide, an online resource for people looking to purchase homes abroad. “This money can be associated with anything from Chinese parents that have kids in college in the USA to those that don’t feel secure in their home countries.” “We are not in the 1940s anymore, where if you were Jewish in Germany you probably didn’t have an account across the border. Now, anyone with money who lives in ... Russia or China or in the Middle East — where it’s possible the Islamic State could overwhelm the Gulf suddenly — will keep some wealth outside,” Montagu-Pollack said. He said it is difficult to quantify how much foreign investors are driving up residential property prices because of scant data, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening. In the past year, residential property prices in prime cities favored by foreign investors rose sharply — 19% in New York, 15% in Bali and Istanbul, 13% in Dublin and 11% in Sydney, according to Knight Frank, a London-based

real estate consulting firm. From 2008 to 2012, average house prices in Hong Kong — ranked as the world’s least-affordable city for housing — rose more than 117%, according to the Global Property Guide. The average property in London costs $750,000, a one-year jump of 19%, according to Britain’s Office for National Statistics. Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board says Chinese investors pumped nearly $6 billion into the residential housing market there in 2013. In an attempt to stem the flow of Chinese money pouring into hot spots such as Sydney and Melbourne — two of the world’s least-affordable cities, according to a survey by Demographia — Australia recently announced restrictions on non-resident foreign nationals who want to purchase homes. “One of the biggest trends we are monitoring across pretty much all the markets we focus on is the ongoing globalization of demand for property,” Liam Bailey, Knight Frank’s global head of research, wrote in the firm’s 2015 report on global wealth. That means those with more modest incomes are driven out, he said. “New demand is accused of hiking prices, as well as creating market access and affordability issues for local residents,” Bailey wrote. “The counterargument, that new investment flows lead to new supply in precisely the places where demand is highest, appears to be falling on deaf ears.” Separate data Knight Frank provided to USA TODAY illustrates the growing divide between the price of residential property in prime locations in select national capitals vs. average prices in the rest of those countries. It shows price rises in metropolitan areas far outpacing advances elsewhere. In many instances, investors from Asia are behind the globalization of residential real estate in prime locations, whether New York or Panama City. Knight Frank said that in 2013, 90% of residential developments in the United Kingdom were funded by investors in Asia — chiefly China, Singapore and Hong Kong. That same year, Asia accounted for 62% of prime residential investment activity in the United States and 74% in Australia.
REAL ESTATE IN DEMAND
Foreigners swoop in, grab Miami property
ERIK S. LESSER, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY
Alan Gomez USA TODAY
MIAMI It’s a scene that has played out countless times here in recent years. A working-class couple identify a home they want to buy, they work with their bank on a mortgage and prepare an offer, only to find that the property has been purchased by a foreigner who plunked down a full cash payment. “That’s happened to every Realtor in Miami,” said Adrian Foley, a lawyer and real estate agent. That situation is partly why Miami has become one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. to buy or rent a home. Lured by
the beaches or the relative security of the American real estate market, people from around the globe have flooded the area in recent years. Every time the Argentine or Brazilian economy takes a plunge, Miami real estate agents see a wave of people flying north looking for a safer place to invest their money. Whenever global oil prices fall, Russians and Venezuelans show up. Vacationers from Europe buy properties to serve as winter retreats. “And there’s now for the first time quite a lot of activity coming from Asian buyers, especially Chinese,” Foley said. One indication of foreign purchases is the number of Miami homes being bought with cash. As many as 70% of home pur-
Miami prime property is “very inexpensive compared to other places in the world.” Alberto Orso, a Miami real estate agent
chases in the Miami area were cash sales in March 2012, according to real estate research firm CoreLogic. That fell to 58% in December, but still above the national average of 35.5%. Miami still remains relatively cheap for buying prime property. “They are very inexpensive compared to other places in the world, be it Buenos Aires, Bogo-
ta, Paris, Germany, Russia,” said Alberto Orso, a Miami real estate agent who works with many Latin American buyers. Another factor has been a strong push by city leaders and developers to cultivate a global, cosmopolitan environment that attracts a wide variety of wealthy foreigners. But when foreigners are making the decision of where to buy, it comes down to one thing. “You go to the most attractive cities,” said Geoffrey Garrett, the Australian-born dean of the Wharton School of business at the University of Pennsylvania, during a recent visit to Miami. “Globally mobile people want to go to the most cosmopolitan places, and Miami is certainly up there.”
BUYERS ‘DRIVING MARKETS’
Chinese send Vancouver housing prices soaring Niko Bell
Special for USA TODAY VANCOUVER , CANADA Ben Wang practices calligraphy in a quiet study overlooking the dense walnut trees of the West Point Grey neighborhood. The 16-year-old high-school student sets inky bamboo brush to paper, swirling stroke after delicate stroke. Wang was introduced to the graceful art where he was born: noisy, crowded Shanghai. The poetic phrase he is practicing, “silently observe,” seems more suited to the stillness of Vancouver’s west side. Wang’s family embodies the classic story of this city’s new immigrant homeowners. His mother, a judge on Shanghai’s court of appeals, and his father, an advertising executive, found success in China and sent their son overseas to be educated.
RAINER PLENDL, SIEMENS
Vancouver has the second-least-affordable housing market. Ben’s mother joined him afterward, followed by her mother. The family bought a two-story, white stone house on a quiet street in West Point Grey, where
prices hover around $3 million. There is a suspicion among many Vancouverites that wealthy Chinese are responsible for soaring housing costs — the median Moscow native Dmitriy Zakirov leans against LonGrad's Volga car in London on April 20.
WEALTHY RUSSIANS
In London, Moscow on the Thames
price of a house here is more than 10 times the median income, less affordable than anywhere else but Hong Kong. A Chinese businessman snapped up a $50 million oceanfront mansion in March just a few miles from the Wangs’ home. Several Vancouver realty firms reported that between a third and two-thirds of houses sold last year went to Chinese buyers. “Mainland Chinese buyers are really driving markets from Sydney through New York to London, and Canadian cities like Vancouver — particularly Vancouver — are no exception,” former ambassador to China David Mulroney told Canada’s national broadcaster, the CBC, in March. “For the Chinese investor, there are two important things; one is family, and the other is real estate,” said Eric Andreason, marketing manager of Adera, which caters to Chinese buyers.

Now, as it circles Kensington, Mayfair, Belgravia and other wealthy enclaves, it helps Grigorev, 33, and Zakirov, 39, publicize a service they describe as “reassuringly expensive.” LonGrad, the duo’s real-estate consulting firm, advises some of Russia’s wealthiest families, including some on Forbes’ list of top billionaires, on how to buy swank homes in London.

economic hazards at home. After the Soviet Union collapsed 24 years ago, many of Russia’s state-owned industries were privatized, creating vast wealth for the lucky few. “The biggest wave began in 2012, when more political instability in Russia started, and that also coincided with a worsening economy there,” said Grigorev, a Russian-speaking Estonian. He estimates hundreds of Russian real-estate brokers are now in London, catering to Russia’s super-rich and clients from former Soviet republics, such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. More than 20% of London homes with asking prices in excess of $15 million in the first
half of 2014 were purchased by Russians, according to Knight Frank, a property agent. And in the first nine months of 2014, the number of Russians granted investor visas in Britain — a minimum investment of about $3 million in return for residency — soared 70% to 162, the Financial Times reported. Giles Hannah of Christie’s International Real Estate said that over the past four or five years, there’s been about $1 billion in residential sales in London to Russian families. “They bring staff, they create jobs, they use the best interior designers and architects — they create a kind of local economy when they buy in London,” he said.

Beau Biden mourned across political spectrum Officials offer prayers for family of vice president
David Jackson
Secretary of State forced to cancel trip
USA TODAY
Members of both parties came together in grief Sunday to express condolences to Vice President Biden and his family over the death of son Beau from brain cancer. “Like his dad, Beau was a good, big-hearted, devoutly Catholic and deeply faithful man, who made a difference in the lives of all he touched — and he lives on in their hearts,” President Obama said in a statement. The president and first lady Michelle Obama paid a condolence call on the Biden family Sunday afternoon at the vice presidential residence in northwest Washington. Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, noted the Biden family has been touched by tragedy before, including the 1972 death of the vice president’s first wife and their 1year-old daughter. “I’m going to pray for him because he’s had a lifetime of tears,” Kasich said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “God bless you, Joe.” Beau Biden, 46, a twice-elected attorney general of Delaware who had contemplated a run for governor in 2016, died Saturday after a recurrence of brain cancer he had battled for years. “The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words,” the vice president said in a statement. “We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us — especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.” Speaking for his family, Biden said: “Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.”

Funeral arrangements are pending. The vice president lost his first wife, Neilia, and their daughter, Naomi, in a car accident in 1972, shortly after his first election as senator from Delaware. The accident badly injured the Bidens’ young sons, Beau and Hunter. The latest tragedy in the Biden family brought together lawmakers from across the political spectrum. Former president Bill Clinton and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called Beau Biden “a son to be proud of, a brother to cherish, a husband and father to love and be grateful for.” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lauded Beau Biden as “a longtime public servant” and an Iraq War veteran.
“As the parents of two precious little girls, Heidi and I can only imagine the grief of losing a child — something no parent should have to do,” Cruz said. “We would like to extend our deepest sympathies and our prayers to Joe and Jill, the entire Biden family, and all those who knew and loved Beau.” In his statement, Obama quoted the great Irish poet William Butler Yeats: “I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe it is enough to make a bad man show him at his best or even a good man swing his lantern higher.” Said the president: “Beau Biden believed the best of us all. For him, and for his family, we swing our lanterns higher.”
Secretary of State John Kerry postponed his trip back to the United States to stay overnight in a Swiss hospital after he broke his right leg Sunday during a bicycle accident. The injury forced Kerry to break off a four-nation trip that included an international conference on combating the Islamic State, and the injury raised questions about his ability to participate in future diplomatic initiatives. “The secretary had planned on flying back to the U.S. this evening, but after further consultation it was sensible for him to remain in the hospital for observation overnight for purely precautionary measures and fly home tomorrow,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said Sunday. “The secretary continues to be in great spirits and active. He has done a range of phone calls including with the president.” Kirby said Kerry, once he re-
Efforts on childhood cancers pay off Long-term death rate among survivors falls by half since 1970s Liz Szabo
USA TODAY
Progress against childhood cancer has been bittersweet. Up to 80% of U.S. children now survive cancer — more than at any time in history. But the chemotherapy and radiation that kill cancer cells can cause serious or even life-threatening side effects — from second cancers to heart and lung problems — as children grow up. Now, a new study finds that doctors’ efforts to both cure children’s tumors and protect them from long-term complications have paid off. A study presented today in Chicago finds that the death rate 15 years after a pediatric cancer diagnosis has been cut in half since the 1970s. About 6% of children treated
for cancer from 1990 to 1994 died within 15 years of diagnosis, down from 12.4% of those treated from 1970 to 1974, according to a study of more than 34,000 patients presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Everyone included in the study was considered to have survived their original cancer, because they lived at least five years after diagnosis. But the legacy of cancer continued to weigh heavily on patients, with about 41% of the nearly 4,000 deaths during the study related to the “late effects” of children’s treatment, said Gregory Armstrong, principal researcher of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Yet death rates from all causes fell during the three decades of the study. Fewer people died because their original cancers came back; because they developed treatment-related cancers; or because of heart and lung problems. “We’ve always struggled with the fact that therapy that beats

the first cancer is causing problems down the road,” said Armstrong, of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “It’s the cost of cure.” Doctors have saved lives in several ways. First, as doctors were able to cure more children, they looked for ways to make treatment less toxic, but equally effective, said Lisa Diller, chief medical officer at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disor-
ders Center. Clinical trials proved that it is sometimes safe to reduce the amount of radiation, to radiate a smaller portion of the body or, for some kids, skip radiation entirely. Until recently, for example, doctors typically recommended that children with aggressive, high-risk leukemias undergo not just chemotherapy, but radiation to the brain. That radiation helped prevent relapses that could be fatal. But radiating the brain — especially when children are very young — can cause learning and memory problems. Today, studies show many children with high-risk leukemias can avoid brain radiation, said Jill Ginsberg, a pediatric oncologist and director of the cancer survivorship program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Cancer Center. Not all kids can avoid aggressive cancer therapies, Ginsberg said. Children with brain tumors still need harsh therapy, because their cancers are so hard to cure.
IN BRIEF JEB BUSH SAYS HE HOPES HE WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT
Jeb Bush insists he’s not running for president — yet. Bush told CBS’ Face the Nation that he hasn’t made a final decision on whether to pursue the presidency in 2016, even as a rising number of critics say his national barnstorming amounts to an evasion of the nation’s campaign finance laws. “I hope I run, to be honest with you,” Bush told Face the Nation moderator Bob Schieffer. “I would like to run, but I haven’t made the decision.” Campaign finance reform advocates say Bush’s fundraising and coast-to-coast appearances — including one in which he said “I’m running for president in 2016,” though he later took it back — show he is a candidate. They accuse him of holding off on a formal announcement to avoid certain fundraising rules. Not true, Bush told CBS. “We’re going to completely adhere to the law,” said the former Florida governor.

Kirby said Xrays confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur. “The secretary is stable and never lost consciousness, his injury is not life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recovery,” Kirby said. Kerry fell after hitting a curb while cycling part of the Tour de France route near the town of Scionzier, France, southeast of the Swiss border. He was airlifted to a hospital in Geneva. It’s unclear whether Kerry needs surgery, or how a lengthy rehabilitation might affect nuclear talks with Iran. Kerry has been the lead negotiator in several sessions with Iran over the past two years. He had been in Geneva for a Saturday meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The sides in the negotiations have been working toward a June 30 deadline for a comprehensive nuclear accord between Iran, the U.S., France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China. Kirby said Kerry will participate remotely in this week’s conference in Paris on the Islamic State threat. Kerry, 71, is an avid cyclist and often brings his bike on diplomatic missions. He took bike trips during breaks in talks this year with Iran and the other nations. It’s not his first athletic scrape.

Microsoft to release much-anticipated software next month Ed Baig
ebaig@usatoday.com USA TODAY
Windows 10 is coming July 29. The new operating system is not only a big deal for Microsoft, but the entire PC industry whose momentum has long since been snatched by mobile. The software is coming to 190 countries. Windows is currently used by 1.5 billion people globally. The company will encourage consumers to “reserve” their NEW YORK
copy of the new operating system starting Monday to ensure they’ll be able to install the software ahead of the folks who don’t. The software is free during the first year if you’re upgrading a new or existing Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 device; Microsoft hasn’t specified pricing beyond that. “I think Windows 10 represents us listening and understanding what real people need better than we have before,” says Joe Belfiore, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for the operating systems group. Owners of PCs with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will receive pop-up notifications alerting them of Windows 10’s impending arrival. Windows XP and older systems are not compatible with Windows 10. Belfiore says that if you don’t reserve Windows 10 in advance,

“it’ll depend how long the line is” before determining when you’ll get the software. It could take up to three weeks. “One of things that we can do for people who reserve is predownload some of the bits to
their PC so that those people aren’t blocked on the Internet pipe trying to deliver lots and lots of Windows bits starting on (July 29),” Belfiore says. In the past, upgrading a Windows computer to a newly-minted version of the operating system has been too often a messy experience. Belfiore is confident that the path to Windows 10 “is going to be way, way, way better.” Is Windows 10 worth getting? On its 20th anniversary, the Start menu for launching apps has been dramatically improved. It gains “live tiles” and is fully customizable, yet it should feel more familiar.

and call. On newer hardware you’ll also be able to exploit a Continuum feature to seamlessly transform from a mouse/keyboard-driven PC to a touch-oriented tablet or vice versa. On some systems, you’ll be able to log in with your face, iris or fingerprint. There’s also a fresh version of Office, improved support for gamers and new built-in Photos, Maps, Music and other apps. Universal apps are meant to run across the entire Windows 10 ecosystem: PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox One. Maybe the biggest thing is Windows 10 should feel a lot less jarring and radical than Windows 8 did when it first appeared, a major reason why many consumers and businesses stuck with Windows 7. “We know we need a more gentle entry curve,” Belfiore says.
MONEYLINE GE TAKES BIDS FOR $40B OF ITS U.S. LENDING OPERATION GE is taking bids for a portion of GE Capital’s U.S. commerciallending business, which includes dealer-financed loans for boats, recreational vehicles and construction and technical equipment. In April, GE announced plans to sell off most of its GE Capital assets over the next two years. The sell-off could help GE’s attempts to have GE Capital lose its designation as a “systemically important financial institution,” or SIFI, a label that hinders the business. These lending units amount to more than half of the U.S.based operation’s $74 billion in loans and other assets, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the bidding.

Numbers will hint at timing of hike in interest rates Adam Shell USA TODAY
June was supposed to be the month for the rate hike “liftoff.” But Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen now says that’s “unlikely.” That means, for Wall Street, June will be all about the data. The Fed has long said that its rate-hike timetable will depend on incoming data — the stronger the numbers, the more likely it is that the U.S. central bank will get going with the rate increases. Now, with the June hike apparently off the table, Wall Street will be looking for signals that the slowdown in the first quarter of the year was, in fact, “transitory,” as the Fed suggests. And that means investors will look to see if data ranging from monthly job gains to inflation measures are strong enough to start pricing in a rate hike later this year. Make no mistake, the stock market’s future gyrations will likely hinge on what the economic data suggest about when the Fed might raise rates and how aggressive the hikes will be. “All decisions now are datadriven in the U.S.,” says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. “The Fed has nothing else to go on.” The Fed had to shelve its June rate-hike plan because the economic readings took a turn for the worse earlier in the year. The nasty winter weather, a port strike out west and a superstrong U.S. dollar that hurt sales of U.S. exporters cooled off the economy. The economy actually contracted 0.7% in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Friday. And that gets us back to the flood of incoming looks at the

economy in June. What will be key are the fresh readings Wall Street will get about April and, even more important, May. May readings set for release this month include the ISM manufacturing report, vehicle sales, employment report, retail sales, inflation at both the wholesale and consumer levels, and home sales. Investors will also get the latest pulse of the U.S. consumer, with consumer confidence reports for June due out. How strong or weak the data are could provide clues as to whether the Fed will start increasing rates in the fall, perhaps as early as September. Many Wall Street pros say the time is right for the Fed to move, albeit slowly. “The longer it takes for the rebound to show up in the data, the longer it will be before the Fed begins to raise rates,” Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, told clients in a research report. How Wall Street interprets the incoming numbers could prove crucial to the market’s performance in June, agrees Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management. “The change in expectations for U.S. and global growth — and, therefore, earnings — is more important to stocks than the Fed,” says Doll, adding that he believes the Fed should start its rate increases in September. Even if the Fed does act in September or December, rates overall should still “stay low for some time,” given the mixed economic data, Kotok predicts. He expects the Fed’s rate-hike path to be “gradual,” adding that “it is the path that counts, not the timing of the first rate hike.”

CALIFORNIA AIRPORTS TAKE DRIER ROUTES
Water salutes used to be common at airports. But many have stopped the ceremonial use of water to welcome new carriers or salute retiring pilots. Burbank airport nixed a demo performed by an airport fire department vehicle in a local parade.

Airports must obey California’s strict water conservation rules, but the topiary bear that greets arriving motorists at Mineta San Jose International (SJC) has nothing to fear. The 12-year-old bear is well-established and, along with nearby native and drought-tolerant plantings, gets by with a sip of recycled water delivered every two weeks by the airport’s high-tech irrigation system. Recycled water is also used in SJC’s low-flow toilets and to clean the sidewalks and the exteriors of the airport buildings. “The windows in our two ter-
minals are washed twice a year: before the peak year-end travel season and in the spring,” said Rosemary Barnes, SJC’s publicinformation officer. “We no longer pressure-wash the windows, but wash them by hand using recycled water.” Recycled water is also put to good use at most every California airport, including Los Angeles International, John Wayne and Fresno Yosemite, where established conservation efforts include low-flow washroom fixtures, synthetic turf and curbed watering programs. On their own and in response to city and state mandates to cut back water usage, all airports in the state are taking steps to save even more water. A few years back, Palm Springs International Airport installed waterless urinals that have been saving the airport an average of
The Palm Springs airport has cut landscape watering to three evenings a week and will soon begin eliminating all landside grass. 44,000 gallons per unit per year. Now, in response to the drought the airport has shut down three water features, reduced landscape watering to three evenings a week and will soon begin eliminating all landside grass, according to airport executive Thomas Nolan. Oakland International has also cut back its watering schedule and increased inspections of the airport’s irrigation system to
make sure it is has not sprung any leaks. In addition to measures that include serving water only by request in the food courts, Sacramento International Airport has removed some areas of turf and now waters “at the lowest level possible to keep landscaping viable while minimizing the risk of fire hazards,” said airport spokeswoman Laurie Slothower. “We are in the process of hiring a landscape engineer to help us determine our long-term plans for landscaping. There will be less of it, for sure,” she said. Even car rental companies do their part. Hertz Corp., which also operates the Thrifty, Dollar and Firefly car rental brands, recycles 80% to 90% of the water used to wash cars at airports, said company spokeswoman Anna Bootenhoff, “and we are continually evaluating ways to reduce in

The $227 round-trip airfare from New York to Abu Dhabi on Etihad Airways looked too good to be true for Jeremy Clement. But it wasn’t. He could book the ticket through Orbitz, which is exactly what he did recently. He also told several friends about it, and they, too, bought tickets to the United Arab Emirates. But the offer turned out to be what’s known as a “fat finger” fare — a data entry mistake or a decimal point error made by an airline or travel agent, and usually quickly rescinded. “Within an hour or two they figured it out and locked the bookings,” he says. Clement, who works for a start-up technology company in New York, lucked out. Etihad, the airline with the mistake price, decided to honor the ticket, even though the normal fare to Abu Dhabi is closer to $1,500. At the time, federal regulations left the airline with little choice. But airlines caught in a fat-finger mistake may no longer have to honor these errors. The Department of Transportation (DOT), which regulates air travel in the USA, is considering a new rule that could let airlines off the hook for fares booked the way Clement, and many others, did. It also recently stopped enforcing a regulation that prohibits a hike in the price of a ticket after purchase, in cases of mistake fares, until the new rule is decided. You don’t have to be an airline insider to know which way the DOT is leaning. But the agency’s
this area.” San Francisco International Airport has implemented many similar conservation measures, including reducing sidewalk hose-downs and working with airport tenants to reduce water usage. The airport has also discontinued the customary water cannon salutes that celebrate new carriers and major new routes. Each water salute used about 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water, said airport spokesman Doug Yakel, and the airport had been averaging about one salute per month before the practice was discontinued. Due to the drought, Burbank Bob Hope Airport also stopped the ceremonial use of water to welcome new carriers or salute retiring pilots. And this year the airport nixed a popular demonstration performed by an airport fire department vehicle in a local parade. “The vehicle would shoot a cannon of water while driving down the parade route, showing the fire rescue truck’s ability to pump and roll,” said airport spokeswoman Lucy Burghdorf. In its response to the drought, San Diego International Airport (SAN) found a previously untapped source of water: The air conditioning units under passenger boarding bridges. Water created by condensation — condensate – from those units had traditionally just dripped onto the tarmac and evaporated, but in 2014 the airport began capturing that water and reusing it. During 2014, SAN collected more than 5,225 gallons of condensate. And this year, the first full year of the program, the airport hopes to collect up to 840,000 gallons of condensate, an amount equal to the water used by five typical households in a year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “While conservation is important, sometimes you have to get a little creative if you truly want to make a difference,” said Jonathan Heller, SAN spokesman.

shift on mistake fares raises important questions about ethics in travel, and how they have changed in just a short time. The government has signaled for some time that they believe the rule, which is intended to prevent post-purchase price increases, is being used for less than honorable purposes. In February, it investigated a $142 round-trip fare from New York to Copenhagen on United.com. United didn’t want to honor the fares, but thousands of customers petitioned the government to force United to do so. Passengers claimed the rules were on their side. The DOT begged to differ. In its decision, the government noted that the erroneous prices appeared on a website that was not marketed to consumers in the USA. “In order to purchase a ticket, individuals had to go to United’s Denmark website which had fares listed in Danish Krone throughout the purchasing process,” it concluded, adding that there was “evidence of bad faith by the large majority of purchasers.” Put differently, the DOT doesn’t want to be an accessory to what some might consider organized theft. If a fare error is discovered and shared online, where people book a ticket knowing it’s an error the airline must honor, the government doesn’t want to
In February, the DOT ruled that United Airlines was not obligated to honor mistake fares it sold for overseas flights.

be involved. So, are customers who book mistake fares stealing? When I began investigating mistake fares a decade ago, there was a strong consensus among most passengers. It was wrong, no question about it. Only a small, vocal group of loyalty-program bloggers disagreed, but their views were far outside the mainstream. Not anymore. A short decade of cuts and consolidations have made even the occasional traveler aware of the draconian airline policies, including onerous change fees, ticket restrictions and other “ancillary” charges meant to line the pockets of airline shareholders. Airlines have developed technology to extract every last penny from passengers. And, predictably, the tide of public opinion turned. “Why can’t consumers take advantage of whatever opportunities they can to save money?” wonders Talaya Waller, a branding consultant and frequent traveler based in Washington, D.C. “Companies can charge however much they want to make a profit. If their expense was $2 and they knew they could get away with charging $20, most would.” Christopher Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler.

Q: I’m going on my first flight soon and I’m petrified. Do you have any tips? — Beth, Skegness, United Kingdom A: I understand your trepidation and apprehension. A few things: 1. Aviation is the safest form of public transportation in history. You are safer flying than when you are in your automobile, walking on a sidewalk, riding a train, taking a bus or being on a boat or ship. 2. The professionals that maintain and fly the airplane are some of the most highly trained in the world. Additionally, trained evaluators check their skills and competencies regularly. 3. The maintenance of aircraft is very detailed and frequent. Airplanes have more redundancies than other forms of transportation, which results in increased reliability and safety. 4. Airplanes fly because of physics. It can fly because of the laws of physics and the proper shape of the wing. The pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, dispatchers, designers and engineers understand how and why it flies, and make sure that everything is done properly to ensure a safe flight. 5. Aviation is one of the most regulated industries in the world. The close oversight has proved to be effective. Those are a few of the many reasons to relax and enjoy your upcoming flight. You will experience a totally new vantage point from which to see the world. It is wonderful. Most people never forget their first flight.

BAD DAY ENRIQUE IGLESIAS The singer is recovering after suffering an injury involving a drone during a concert Saturday night in Tijuana, Mexico. “During the show a drone is used to get crowd shots, and some nights Enrique grabs the drone to give the audience a Point of View shot. Something went wrong and he had an accident,” reads a statement issued by Joseph Carozza, a spokesman for the singer. “He was semi-treated by crew on the side of the stage to try and stop the bleeding. He was advised to stop the show. He decided to go on and continued playing for 30 minutes while the bleeding continued throughout the show.” After the show, he was rushed to the airport and flown to Los Angeles to see a specialist.

NEW YORK In Entourage, which aired on HBO until 2011 and is cavorting its way into theaters Wednesday, she was the movie star’s “West Coast mother.” We’re talking about Debi Mazar, who returns as blunt, brutally outspoken publicist Shauna Roberts, hired protector of movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier). She’s part emotional bodyguard, part reputation minder. In this age of headlines going global because of social media, a watchdog is a must-have. “Publicists are instrumental in this climate,” Mazar says. “People are looking for a hook. That’s a normal thing, but things get twisted. That’s happened to me.” But the publicists you see in movies and on TV generally don’t reflect the reality of the job. Yes, they get to meet many A-listers. But they also stuff goody bags and deal with late-night emergencies. There’s crisis ace Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) on Scandal, who ended Season 4 reunited

There’s kooky Bridget Jones, played by Renee Zellweger in 2001 and 2004 films, who types out sexy texts to her boss while toiling away as a book publicist. There’s Sex and the City’s Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), who uses her copious communication skills to kick-start her boyfriend’s career. And in the 2008 film Hancock, there’s a kindly PR consultant (Jason Bateman) who sets out to clean up the image of the misunderstood vigilante (Will Smith).

Rock Social Media, you see the glam, not the grit. “You’ll never see them at a desk, in meetings or negotiating press coverage. They’re shown as an accessory to their client,” she says. As for sleeping with clients or bosses, as Bridget and Samantha did? “Bedroom-trysts-to-boardroom-meetings? A no in the PR pro book,” says Jaime Maser, who reps skin-care brand La Prairie. Being a publicist has its perks. In some cases, publicists and clients become close friends: Emma Stone played matchmaker, intro-
ducing Holly Shakoor-Fleischer to her husband Ruben (who directed Stone in Gangster Squad) and officiating at their 2012 wedding. Jessica Simpson was a bridesmaid at her publicist Lauren Auslander’s 2013 nuptials in Newport, R.I. But no matter how tight the relationship, it’s a job. “When something gets misquoted, or the story isn’t what they want, you’re the worst person in the world to the client. You can be running an office, and that night, holding a celebrity’s handbag. You have to have a thick skin,” says New York PR guru Alison Brod, who works with Drew Barrymore and Sofia Vergara. Publicists control who gets to talk to their clients, and which events stars attend. On red carpets, they’re fluffing dresses, making sure there are no sweat stains, even holding gum when a client spits it out. They address rumors of romances, rehabs and pink slips. That’s why it’s not a profession for the delicate or easily dissuaded. And it’s why Mazar’s Shauna represents a very real, if dramatized, depiction of the profession. “She’s very true. She’s based on people I’ve worked with,” says Doug Ellin, who wrote and directed the Entourage movie and created the series. “They’re as powerful as their biggest clients.”

The Rock shakes up the box office
‘San Andreas’ cracks No.1 spot with $53.2 million
Ray (Dwayne Johnson) and Emma (Carla Gugino) put aside their differences to find their daughter after a catastrophic quake hits.
Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rode his quake film San Andreas to a rattling box-office win, taking $53.2 million in its opening weekend. Massive tremors might have laid waste to the West Coast in the disaster movie, but the rousing success for San Andreas has only built up Johnson’s alreadyformidable Hollywood career. “It took a natural disaster to create a career highlight for Dwayne Johnson,” says Fandango chief correspondent Dave Karger.
JAIMIE TRUEBLOOD, WARNER BROS
“He’s now scored his biggest opening weekend as a solo star.” The Brad Peyton-directed movie crumbled under reviewer scrutiny, with a weak 49% critical approval rating on survey site RottenTomatoes.com. But the story of a rescue helicopter pilot (Johnson) and his estranged wife (Carla Gugino) battling earthquakes and a tsuna-
mi to save their daughter (Alexander Daddario) resonated with viewers, who scored it an Aminus on CinemaScore.com. Meanwhile, the all-star cast behind Aloha wasn’t enough to propel the film written and directed by Cameron Crowe. The romantic dramedy with Bradley Cooper as a military contractor returning to Hawaii also features
Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin and Bill Murray. Aloha landed with a thud at No. 6 with $10 million. “The movie had a great cast on paper. But the critics tore it apart,” says Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Rentrak. “Aloha just didn’t resonate with the general audience.” Pitch Perfect 2 led the pack of previously released films still busting into the top five. The Elizabeth Banks-directed sequel placed second with $14.8 million. Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney, took third with $13.8 million after a lukewarm win last weekend. Director George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road held onto fourth with $13.6 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron rounded out the top five with $10.9 million, adding to its $1.3 billion worldwide total. Final numbers are out today.

Firebird Carter javelin natural He had not advanced beyond the junior varsity three years into his baseball career at Free State High, so Tye Carter decided to go out for track with the modest goal of earning a varsity letter. He and friend Tanner Pfortmiller went with the sprints coach on the first day of practice, when jumpers, throwers and distance runners each went with their group’s coach. Carter recalls it being about “a week-and-a-half” into track season that he and Pfortmiller reported to throws coach Darrell Andrew and informed him they wanted to try the javelin. At that point in his life, Carter said, he never had thrown the javelin and didn’t know anybody who had thrown it. What happened from there is the sort of story reserved for fairy-tale books, not high school track and field record books. By the time Free State’s season had ended, Carter had set the school record in the event and later won the Class 6A state title, despite rarely throwing the javelin in practice over the second half of the season in order to protect sore ribs. During that whirlwind ascension from collegebound football player to state-champion thrower, Carter informed the football coach at Hamline University, a Div. III school in Minnesota, that he no longer planned to attend the school to play football and scheduled visits to Div. I schools, where he intends to throw the javelin. Carter already has visited Nebraska and is in the process of scheduling visits to Colorado and Kansas University. Johnson County Community College began recruiting him after seeing him compete at a meet. Carter recalled his and Pfortmiller’s first meeting with Andrew, a week-anda-half into the season: “Where have you been?” “We’re sprinters, and we don’t know what we want to do yet.” Andrew showed them the basics of how to throw and kept an eye on them as they joined this season’s unusually big group of javelin throwers that day. “I threw a few times, and when we were getting done, coach Andrew came up to me, asked me what my name was again, and said I reminded him a lot of our record-holder (Nick Witmer, 2006), said I had the same body type,” Carter said. “He told me I needed to stay up there.” Instead, Carter alternated days between the sprinters and javelin throwers. Carter said he threw 130 feet that first day. “I thought, ‘This is hard. I don’t know if I can throw farther than that.’ The guys who were on varsity were throwing 150, so I thought they were super-good,” Carter said.

By Broderick Turner Los Angeles Times
It is the tale of two sports-mad cities starving for a championship that has long eluded them. But at some point this month, the championship appetite for either Oakland and the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors or Cleveland and the LeBron James-led Cavaliers will be satisfied by winning the NBA title. The Warriors made it to the NBA Finals by dominating the Western Conference, finishing off the Houston Rockets in the conference finals in five games to put themselves in position to win the franchise’s first NBA championship in 40 years. The Cavaliers reached the Finals by running roughshod over the Eastern Conference with a 12-2 postseason record that included a 4-0 sweep of the Atlanta Hawks, putting Cleveland in position to give the city its first major professional championship since 1964. Game 1 is Thursday night in Oakland at Oracle Arena, better known in the Bay Area as “Roaracle” because of the raucous fans. “I think our fans think because we had the best regularseason record and we got to the Finals that of course we’re going to win,” Warriors associate head coach Alvin Gentry said. “But you’re playing for sure the greatest player in the game right now and arguably maybe the greatest player that has ever played the game. … He has such an impact on the game that any time LeBron is on the floor, he’s going to have a chance to win.” Cleveland fans have suffered a championship drought since the Browns won the NFC Championship (pre-Super Bowl) in 1964. But then last summer, James returned home to Cleveland after four years in Miami, bringing with him new hope for a championship. James led the Cavaliers to the 2007 NBA Finals, where they were swept 4-0 by the San Antonio Spurs. Then he led the Heat to the last four NBA Finals, winning two. “We’re happy that we got to this point, because anytime you get to the Finals, you always have the opportunity to win a championship,” Cleveland associate head coach Tyronn Lue said. “But we’re not satisfied, because the city has been here before LeBron left. LeBron made it to the Finals against San Antonio. Now it’s time to take that next step.” It’s the otherworldly skills of Curry and James that make this series so fascinating. Curry, winner of the league’s most valuable player award, is considered the best shooter in the NBA, with his 29.2 points per game average in the playoffs indicative of his scoring abilities. James, a four-time league MVP, is considered by many around the game as the best player on the planet. And he has carried the Cavaliers in the playoffs, averaging 27.6 points, 8.3 assists and 10.4 rebounds a game.

STEVEN BOWDITCH HITS FROM THE GALLERY on the 15th green during the final round of the Byron Nelson golf tournament Sunday in Irving, Texas.
Bowditch collects another Texas victory Irving, Texas — Steven Bowditch closed with a 5-under 64 for a four-shot victory Sunday in the AT&T Byron Nelson, winning in the Australian’s adopted home for his second career title — both in Texas. Bowditch, who got married at the resort next to the TPC Four Seasons five years after attempting suicide at his Dallas home while battling depression in 2006, had 27 birdies while becoming the seventh player to lead all four rounds of the event. He finished at 18-under 259 on the rain-altered layout. Charley Hoffman (65), Texan Jimmy Walker (66) and Scott Pinckney (66) tied for second at 14 under. Zach Johnson shot a 63 to finish alone in fifth at 13 under. Hometown favorite and Masters champion Jordan Spieth finished 7 under after an evenpar 69. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 69. He tied for 60th and pocketed $15,407. Playing with Bowditch in the final group, Dustin Johnson briefly overtook him early in the round before making an 8 at the par-4 sixth. He finished at 11 under with a 69. A sunny day wrapped up two otherwise soggy weeks of golf in Dallas-Fort Worth, including a five-inch overnight downpour after the first round of the Nelson that turned one of its toughest holes — the par-4 14th — into a pitch-and-putt par-3 of barely 100 yards for the final three rounds. While birdies were the norm after easy wedge shots from what might normally be a drop area in front of a greenside pond, Bowditch had to save par from about 12 feet to keep a three-shot lead, pumping his right fist after the ball dropped in. The temporary tee box was about 20 yards farther back Sunday, and tour officials believe par of under 70 was a first according to records going back to 1983.
GOLF
Nordqvist takes ShopRite Galloway Township, N.J. — Anna Nordqvist birdied the 16th and 17th holes to break out of the pack and went on to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic by a stroke. With her mother visiting from Sweden, the 27-year-old Nordqvist closed with a 2-under 69 in windy conditions to finish at 8-under 205 at Stockton Seaview’s Bay Course. The former Arizona State player has five career LPGA Tour titles, winning twice each in 2009 and 2014. Nordqvist made a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-4 16th to break a tie with France’s Christel Boeljon and get to 8 under. Nordqvist hit her tee shot on the short par-3 17th to 8 feet to the left of the hole and drained that putt as well to move to two strokes in front. She bogeyed the 18h. Boeljon was a career-best second after a 68. Second-round leader Morgan Pressel, who fell out of the lead following a bogey-double bogey stretch on the front nine, tied for third at 5 under after a 73. Rookie Kelly Shon got within a stroke of the lead, but a tough finish dropped her to a 70 and a tie with Pressel.
FRENCH OPEN TENNIS
Federer match halted Paris — Roger Federer could be excused if he has a restless night. With thick gray clouds overhead and light
slipping away at the end of a rainy day, Federer got broken by Gael Monfils to even their French Open fourth-round match at a set apiece, right before play was suspended Sunday. They met on the sideline to chat with the chair umpire, then clasped hands, and Monfils gave Federer a playful pat on the shoulder. Spectators at Court Philippe Chatrier booed and whistled upon hearing there’d be no more tennis. Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam champion, and Monfils, the flamboyant Frenchman who won their two most recent encounters, will resume today. At least they finished two sets, with Federer taking the first 6-3, and Monfils winning the second 6-4. Two women’s matches did not begin at all Sunday, including defending champion Maria Sharapova against Lucie Safarova. In the quarterfinals, Federer or Monfils will face Federer’s Swiss Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka, seeded eighth, who had no trouble beating 12th-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. On the other half of the draw, No. 5 Kei Nishikori became the first Japanese man in 82 years to reach the quarterfinals in Paris, eliminating Teymuraz Gabashvili 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. “I hope it’s just the start of my journey and I hope I can keep going,” said Nishikori, who had three days off because his third-round opponent withdrew with an injury.
AUTO RACING
Bourdais claims 1st Indy win Detroit — Sebastien Bourdais raced to his first IndyCar victory of the season Sunday, outlasting Takuma Sato in a caution-filled ending at Belle Isle. Bourdais held on in his No. 11 Chevrolet in a race that was shortened from 70 laps to 68 because of a two-hour time limit. The first caution didn’t come until lap 37, but there were eight caution periods in all — as well as a red flag with 5:33 remaining on the clock. Bourdais led coming out of the final caution and had little trouble staying in front. His final lap of 1 minute, 17.9133 seconds was the fastest for anyone on the day. Graham Rahal finished third. Indy 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya was awarded the pole based on entry points when qualifying Sunday morning was halted by bad weather. Montoya finished 10th. Carlos Munoz, who won Saturday’s rainshortened race, finished last Sunday.
FOOTBALL
Manziel tangles with heckler Irving, Texas — Troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel threw a water bottle at a heckler in an incident that didn’t lead to any arrests or charges at the AT&T Byron Nelson golf tournament. Manziel had been turning away autograph requests from the fan for about two hours Saturday during the third round when an exchange escalated in the pool area of the Four Seasons Resort where the PGA Tour event is held, Irving police spokesman James McLellan said. The water bottled missed the 18-year-old male, and someone who was with Manziel pushed the fan, leading officers to intervene, McLellan said. The fan declined to press charges, and McLellan said no police report was filed.

WORLD WAR II VETERAN TONY GIANUNZIO THROWS OUT A CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH before the Cubs’ game Sunday with the Royals in Chicago.
WWII veteran fulfills dream Chicago (ap) — More than 70 years after he hoped to make his majorleague debut, a World War II veteran fulfilled his goal of pitching at Wrigley Field. Tony Gianunzio walked to the mound Sunday and threw out the first ball before the Chicago Cubs hosted the Kansas City Royals. Wearing a Cubs cap, the 92-year-old Gianunzio threw from just in front of the rubber. His pitch reached the plate on a couple of bounces, with Cubs reliever pitcher Justin Grimm serving as his catcher. “It feels just like 1942 when I could do it,” Gianunzio said. “I could throw that ball beyond 90 miles an hour, and I had a curve like nobody else had one.” Gianunzio was a teenage pitching prospect and being looked at by the
Cubs when he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. He was a gunner’s mate in the service and didn’t return to baseball after the war. Gianunzio lives in the vicinity of Kalamazoo, Michigan. He taught English and writing in high school for nearly 40 years before retiring. “My dream really ended with the war, because after the war and late in the war I knew I wanted to get a college education,” he said. “I wasn’t going into professional baseball — as much as I loved it — because my real love was in teaching,” he said. The Cubs were contacted by students from the Compass College of Cinematic Arts in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who are doing a documentary film on Gianunzio. Once the Cubs confirmed the details, they invited him to throw out the first pitch.
release),” said Darrell Sears, who coached Coleby at St. George’s High School in Freeport, Bahamas, as well as with the Bahamas Jaguars summer youth program. “He was focused on what he wanted. He did a lot of research himself. I helped as best I could. He knew in terms of coach (Bill) Self’s high/low offense … that suited him perfectly. I think once KU came in the picture, that was the end of it.” Sears understood Coleby’s decision to commit even before the campus visit was over. “In terms of what he was looking at, what we know of the program ... you are talking about a Rolls-Royce-type program,” Sears said. “How much better are you going to get than Kansas? C’mon. And the style suits him perfectly.” Coleby learned all details about KU’s style of play on this trip to Lawrence. “They showed me the facilities. I was impressed with those. I also watched some tape of the games and how they train big guys. I was impressed by it. I knew it was the right place for me to go,” said Coleby, who said he spoke with Wayne Selden Jr., and Frank Mason III extensively on the visit. Coleby will practice but not play in games next season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. He’ll have two years of eligibility starting in 2016-17. “I think he has the mentality to do what coach Self and the program needs him to do, be a tough inside guy, because that’s what he is,” Sears said of Coleby, who hit 53.2 percent of his shots his sophomore season. “He’s what I call a quiet killer. He doesn’t talk much, but he’s a bruiser, a very physical kid. He will go over there and work, work, work, work.” Asked what he brings to the table, Coleby said: “Energy. I can shoot it to midrange, get rebounds, play tough in the post. I am a shot-blocker, too.”

MISSISSIPPI CENTER DWIGHT COLEBY LOOKS TO PASS in this photo from Jan. 17 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Coleby’s brother, Kadeem, played his senior year at Wichita State after starting out at Louisiana-Lafayette. “I knew about Kansas before that,” Dwight Coleby said. “I watched games on TV from the Bahamas.” Coleby, who started three games a year ago, hit 67 of 126 shots overall and 51 of 64 free throws for 79.7 percent. He also had 29 blocks. Coleby scored in double figures six times in 2014-15. He had 11 points, nine rebounds and three blocks on Feb. 2 at Florida. He had 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks vs. the Gators on Jan. 24 at Ole Miss. He also appeared in five games, averaging 2.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per game as the Bahamas won the gold medal of the Caribbean basketball championship last July. “It is exciting. It is great,” he said of signing with KU. “The history and tradition ... I have to
prove I am worthy of being here.” Coleby arrived in the U.S. before his junior year at Piney Woods (Mississippi) High. An unranked three-star player (by Rivals.com), he averaged 20 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and three assists his senior season and was ranked the No. 2 overall player in Mississippi that year by ESPN. He also lettered in track. “I’ve seen him from when he was 14-yearsold, when he was a chubby little kid,” Sears said. “He has made tremendous strides as a basketball player and young man. We couldn’t be more proud of him. For Kansas to be interested in him was a pleasure in itself. “This is my personal opinion ... he’s more skilled than (Cliff) Alexander. Alexander might be a tad more athletic, but (Coleby) is more skilled than Alexander. A year in KU’s system, working and coming to play his junior year ... I don’t care

record, and at that point was when I thought I could get better.” Carter set his school record of 193-2 on May 1. It was then he suffered an injury to his ribs throwing, which limited
him in practice for the remainder of the season. Of all the remarkable accomplishments this past week by Lawrence athletes in high school state championships — the LHS girls track won
the state title, Free State won the state baseball title, Free State finished second in boys and girls in track — Carter’s was the one nobody could have seen coming just a couple of months ago. It will be interesting to see how far he can launch the javelin once he refines his technique and practices it daily in the years to come. “I think this kid could be throwing 220 or better just with a little experience, a little time,” Andrew said. “The thing I like most about him is he’s willing to do anything you ask him to do. He’s a real competitor.” All those years throwing a football as a quarterback in youth sports and a baseball as a shortstop in younger years, an outfielder and pitcher in high school, Carter never knew it was a spear he was meant to throw all the while.
immediately,” he said. “But also from a terminology standpoint, when I use a certain term, she’s already gonna know what I’m talking about, and it’s gonna be easier for her to relay that to the players.” Buchanan said she expected that kind of familiarity to make her latest transition much more smooth — “It’s huge,” she said — and she compared rejoining Schneider’s staff and jumping back in on his philosophies about the game to riding a bike. “It’s easy,” she said.
“Any time you leave and you go somewhere and work for somebody else, you kind of get accustomed to doing things the way they had you do ’em. So the adjustment won’t really be too difficult, it’ll just be going back to what I did for him, how he operates and how he expects things to be done.” Of course, there was more to Buchanan’s decision to relocate than the reunion with Schneider. As a player at A&M and an assistant at Texas Tech, she has come
through Lawrence several times throughout her life. Finally being able to call it home was way up there on her list of pros. “I feel like I’ve been a part of the Big 12 my whole collegiate career, and I know a lot about this place,” she said. “Played here, coached here, and now I actually get to coach for Kansas. I know that this is the basketball mecca, and that helps with the transition because I’ve already been here before, and I know what it’s like.”

so he went after it, and that was that.” Earlier in the inning, Dexter Fowler was thrown out at the plate by Gordon when he tried to score from second on a single. “It was a great play,” Yost said. “He had to charge hard and never could get himself set. He just flung it in and it was a nice tag by (catcher Salvador Perez).” Zac Rosscup (2-1) struck out Perez with runners on first and third with two outs in the 11th. Ryan Madson (0-1) walked Fowler and Kris Bryant to begin the 11th. Jason Frasor relieved and Anthony Rizzo blooped a single, with a video replay confirming Fowler was out at the plate. With runners on second and third, the Royals intentionally walked Starlin Castro to load the bases. Ross followed with his hit. Royals starter Yordano Ventura pitched seven innings, allowing one run and four hits. It was his fourth straight outing that he pitched seven innings. He struck out six and walked one.

Then in what he said was his first time throwing the javelin in a meet, he won with a mark of 147-1 in a dual vs. Lawrence High. The victory made him decide to give up sprinting and devote all of his training to the javelin. Still, the innerdialogue colored with surprise and a hint of self-doubt continued: “I thought, ‘I probably can’t throw farther than that.’ Then the next meet, I threw, like, 165, and I was, like, ‘I probably can’t throw farther than that.’ Then the next meet I throw 182: ‘I definitely can’t throw farther than that.’ And then I throw 187, and I was, like, ‘There’s no way I can get to 190, and then I throw 193, get the (school)

was easier for me to be able to listen to the terminology and grasp different ways of doing things.” That understanding, not only of defense but also of his style of coaching, was a huge reason Schneider pursued Buchanan after landing the KU job in April. “You obviously have a built-in trust and loyalty
what kind of freshman is coming in. If he (Coleby) allows one of them to take his spot, that’s on him. A guy like Alexander ... he is really solid. And Dwight is coming in more skilled than him, even at this point.” KU has filled its allotment of 13 scholarships for the upcoming season, provided KU commit LaGerald Vick, as expected, reclassifies to the Class of 2015. The incoming class consists Coleby; No. 21-ranked (By Rivals. com) Carlton Bragg, 6-9 forward, Cleveland’s Villa Angela St. Joseph High; No. 5 Cheick Diallo, 6-9, forward, Our Savior New American, Centereach, New York; and No. 33 (Class of 2016) Vick, 6-5 guard, Memphis Douglass High. Vick is expected to announce his reclassification to the Class of 2015, perhaps today, and compete for KU’s World University Games team this summer. Coleby cannot compete for the World Games team because he was not born in the U.S.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Brewers top D’backs in 17 The Associated Press
National League Brewers 7, Diamondbacks 6, 17 inn. Milwaukee — Martin Maldonado homered with one out in the bottom of the 17th inning, and Milwaukee outlasted Arizona Sunday to snap a seven-game losing streak. The catcher hit the first pitch from reliever Vidal Nuno (0-1) over the wall in center field to start a well-earned celebration. Maldonado slid into home as his tired but giddy teammates surrounded the plate. Arizona

Woman: Widowed in-law remarrying too soon Dear Annie: My father-in-law died four years ago. He had struggled with some health issues for a while and then went into the hospital for what was supposed to be a simple procedure and never made it out. It broke my heart. And it was the first time I ever saw my husband cry. Both of his parents were like the parents I wish I’d had. I adored his father. Here’s the problem. A few months ago, my mother-in-law started dating a nice guy from her church. He’s a widower, and she and my father-in-law were friends with him and his late wife. Last night, my mother-in-law arrived home from her date and announced that they were engaged! We were floored. My hus-

band congratulated her, and he seems genuinely happy for both of them. But not me. I feel upset. I feel like my own mother is remarrying after my father died, and I don’t like it. I am happy that my motherin-law has found love again when we are lucky to even find it once, but I feel sad and hurt at the same time. I know this is totally crazy, so how do I move past these feelings? — Daughter-in-Law
Lifetime cooks up an ‘UnREAL’ hit “UnREAL” (9 p.m., Lifetime) deserves to be watched. Smart, funny, edgy and filled with great performances, “UnREAL” may be Lifetime’s equivalent of AMC’s “Mad Men,” a show that redefines a network and changes and broadens its audience. A satire of the television industry, “UnREAL” takes place on the set of “Everlasting,” a “Bachelor”-type reality show. Constance Zimmer stars as brutal producer Quinn King, arguably the funniest and most profane fictional TV producer since Diana Christensen, Faye Dunaway’s character in “Network.” King will do anything to manipulate her cast of beautiful, naive young girls and her difficult “bachelor” to make good, or at least outrageous, television. She relies on Rachel Goldberg (Shiri Appleby), an accomplished producer adept at using reality stars’ emotional vulnerability and psychiatric problems to cajole them into stunning “performances.” Rachel’s scheming ways are explained, if not excused, by her own history of breakdowns and deeply conflicted feelings about her profession. Craig Bierko (“Damages”) stars as the rich and dissipated creator of “Everlasting,” a bloated tyrant who sees himself as everybody’s pal — until he fires them. It’s not giving too much away to say that he and King share a morethan-professional relationship. Filled with quick wit and bracing dialogue, “UnREAL” offers a satirical takedown on reality television that is as richly deserved as it is overdue.
Tonight’s other highlights “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox) enters its 12th season. A cruise ship shelters an arsenal on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS). “Devious Maids” (8 p.m., Lifetime) returns for its third season. Down Mexico way on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., CBS). Surviving on “The Island” (9 p.m., NBC). Abe returns from captivity on “Turn” (9 p.m., AMC). Chris Hadfield appears on “StarTalk” (10 p.m., National Geographic) with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
BIRTHDAYS Singer Pat Boone is 81. Actor Morgan Freeman is 78. Country singer Ronnie Dunn is 62. Actorsinger Jason Donovan is 47. Model-actress Heidi Klum is 42. Singer Alanis Morissette is 41.
Dear Daughter-inLaw: First, we are glad that no one is taking advantage of Mom. She has been friends with this man for years. Second, like many children, you fear a new marriage will diminish Dad’s position in the family. But rest assured, this won’t happen. A new marriage doesn’t erase Dad or the wonderful memories all of you have. But it allows Mom to have a companion and be less lonely. In years to come, you will be grateful. Try to fake being happy for her until you discover that you truly are. Dear Annie: Recently, I attended a three-hour cooking class for seniors. While waiting for the class to start, I chatted with the person next to me, who was the only other person there. A few minutes later, a third class member walked in, came

right up into my face and loudly exclaimed, “I hope you are not going to be obnoxious!” Even the instructor was taken aback. At the end of the class, I approached this woman and asked, “I’m curious. Why did you say you hoped I was not going to be obnoxious?” She told me she does this “for fun” and suggested I try it. Annie, I was shocked by this woman’s behavior, especially in a class for seniors. — Shocked Senior Dear Shocked: This is a woman whose ego demands that she be the center of attention. You gave her the response she wanted, but she deserved to be completely ignored. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Tonight: A must appearance. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.
