Lawrence is once again broaching the topic of building a new $30 million police headquarters, but first the city’s staff and commission have a good deal of homework to do. Although a conversation surrounding a new police facility has been going on since the mid-1990s, most recently voters rejected a citywide sales tax in late 2014, which would have funded Markus the project. At the time the work was estimated to cost $28 million. Now, a year and a half after the measure failed, City Manager Tom Markus said it’s time to address the project once more. But before any ground can be broken it’s important to review past work outlining different options for the department, he said. Last week Markus submitted a draft of the city’s five-year capital improvement plan, or CIP, which lists the police headquarters as unfunded through 2021.

Chancellor discusses ‘unkind’ state funding cut

The efforts to fill an empty veteran’s grave

n empty grave doesn’t do much to provide closure. That’s a sentiment rural Lawrence resident Dennis Domer has come to understand well over the decades. It first came to him as a child growing up in Centralia. His father would take Dennis and his three brothers to the cemetery every Memorial Day. “And there would be Uncle Carol’s grave,” Domer recalls. It had the big, white cross above it and all the other markings that are due a fallen veteran. Years later, Dennis himself would play taps over the grave as part of the small town’s Memorial Day service. But everyone knew it was still an empty grave. “The grieving period never ended,” Domer says. “If he

Another crew member simply missed his transport to the airfield. That left the Crosair pilot in need of two new crew members to make a bombing run against a Japanese airfield in Papua New Guinea.

Treanor Architects suggested possible options at 2100 and 2200 VenturePark Drive, 2501 Exchange Place, 1353 North 1300 Road, 5100 Overland Drive and 100 McDonald Drive. Of those options only the Venture Park and Overland Drive plots are owned by the city, the report states. Available prices for the other parcels of land show costs could reach more than $69,000 per acre. Estimates show the potential headquarters project would need over 13 acres in total. Khatib said the size of the plot is an important factor to keep in mind. The some-13 acres needed would help “to compensate for any mistakes made,” he said. “So, if we do build it too small, or have to make budget adjustments, we at least have the option to add on later without having to move to a different site, thereby repeating the whole process again.” Once a plot of land is found for the project, the city can move forward with discussions about planning and designing the facility, Markus said. Still working on the city’s budget, which will be finalized in August, Markus said he hopes to begin having more serious conversations about the police headquarters by later this summer. City Commissioner Stuart Boley said he isn’t sure yet where he stands on the new police headquarters issue, but he’s ready to sit down and talk about the city’s questions and the police department’s needs. “I have great confidence in Tom Markus and his team to help us find the answers to these questions,” he said. “And we will continue to work on this. I don’t know the answers yet, but I know we’ll get there.”

police department over the coming years. In all, for 2017 the document budgets $672,100 for mobile data computer systems, $392,000 for 14 new police vehicles — up from recent years which budgeted for 10 new vehicles — and $95,000 for a crime scene scanner. For 2018 the CIP also budgets for a $300,000 firearms simulator and $619,000 of deferred maintenance to the Law Enforcement Center. The maintenance work includes roof repairs, carpet replacement, heating and air conditioning work and overhead lighting work. Khatib said the money set aside for police projects in the future will better allow the department to serve the community. An earlier draft of the CIP also set aside $278,518 to fund a police body camera project; however, that work is currently listed as unfunded in the most recent version of the document. Markus said he supports police use of body cameras, but he wasn’t so sure the department needs or could afford the upgrades as early as 2017. The important move is to place the cameras on the CIP, Markus said. Even if the upgrades are listed as unfunded. “I did want it on the list so we know it’s there and it’s a recurring thing,” he said. In the meantime the city can watch other police departments, learn from their experiences and let the technology continue to improve, Markus added. Khatib said he believes body cameras are in the police department’s future; however, it’s not clear when they may be added to the force. As that conversation continues, the department will work on policies allowing it to implement the new technology, he said.

The draft does, however, set aside $1.5 million in the 2017 budget for planning and designing a new building. So far conceptual ideas have been prepared regarding the facility, but nothing concrete has been laid out, Markus said. “The $1.5 million is more of a placeholder than anything, and before we get to the point where we actually hire somebody and start making those design decisions, we have to get everybody to go through all the materials,” he said. Those materials were prepared as the city considered the headquarters in the past; however, many of the options outlined are still relevant, Markus said. They include looking at different land options around town or potentially using existing facilities and eventually working into a newer complex over time, he said. Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said in an email that he is satisfied with the proposed CIP and the money allocated to the department, but added that the potential headquarters project must be approached with care. When the Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St., was originally built in the 1970s, the facility was already too small, Khatib said. And the building was quickly outgrown. In the 1990s the city moved half the police department to the Investigations and Training Center at 4820 Bob Billings Drive, as a less-expensive way to mitigate space issues, Khatib said. The solution was only temporary. “I think the most important thing to keep in mind is not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” he Other budget points Markus’ CIP draft also — Public safety reporter Conrad said.

hen Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little vetoed Student Senate funding for a Multicultural Student Government, she cited a couple of key points in a letter to Student Senate leaders. One, the student organization does not yet exist as a government. Two, university code doesn’t allow more than one government representing any of KU’s constituency groups in University Senate. (The funding she nixed amounted to about $180,000 in required student fees. MSG was slated to get $90,000 to pay officers and fund other operations, plus another $90,000 to allocate to other multicultural student groups.) In the last paragraph of her letter, the chancellor indicated there was more to her decision than just that, however, writing “I believe that the independent student government proposed in the document sent to University Senate is not an optimal

way to achieve the goals we have for diversity and inclusion at the university and, indeed, may lead to greater divisiveness.” I interviewed the chancellor earlier this month about various KU issues, including this one. Here’s what she said. “The letter outlines the technical reasons why, but I didn’t want to just hide behind that. I wanted to say what I thought,” Gray-Little said. “I believe the question or concern is that student government as it currently functions does not allow students who are not part of the anointed group — however that

anointed is defined — to have a voice. I have heard that complaint from students in the past not based on race, so I don’t think it is a question solely that racial or ethnic groups have that experience because of being a member of a racial or ethnic group.” Gray-Little said she suggests looking instead at what can be changed within student government to overcome that problem. Since she came to KU in 2009, there have been two student body presidents who are black, Gray-Little pointed out. Stephonn Alcorn was just elected student body president for the upcoming school year, and Michael Wade Smith was student body president for 2010-11. “It’s obviously not the case that you can’t get elected if you’re not Caucasian,” Gray-Little said. “I don’t think that that is the issue — or if it is, I think we’re doing Please see MSG, page 4A

fine if you look at that as a percentage. “I think it is something else that has to do with what goes on, who has a say, who feels they have a say, maybe how people get elected,” she said. “What I would like to work with students on is how we can go about ensuring that students have the opportunity to participate and be heard, which doesn’t necessarily mean that they get to decide what happens, but how they can be heard.” “We have university governance that’s made up of students, staff and

rooms that correspond to their gender identity. “I wanted to inform you that I will be sponsoring a resolution that will run on sine die supporting student privacy and urging Attorney General (Derek) Schmidt to join the multi-state lawsuit,” Wagle wrote. That suit was filed by the state of Texas in federal district court, and at least 10 other states have joined as plaintiffs. House leaders do not plan to consider that resolution, but Republican Speaker Ray Merrick of Stilwell has been circulating a letter among his caucus that effectively says the same thing. However, depending on how the resolution is worded, passage of it by only one chamber could trigger a state law that would require the attorney general to join that lawsuit. Schmidt earlier filed a “friend of the court” brief with the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Pennsylvania, supporting a local school district there that is being sued by the family of a transgender student because that district would only provide the student access to a one-person unisex restroom. Abbie Hodgson, spokeswoman for House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City, said her office is encouraging Democrats to be present as well. “We should have a good portion of our Democrats there,” she said.

School finance On Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled lawmakers failed to cure constitutional problems it had found earlier in the way the state equalizes school funding among its 286 school districts so that property-poor districts don’t have to levy higher taxes than wealthier districts to achieve similar levels of funding. The court gave lawmakers until June 30, the last day of the current state fiscal year, to correct the problems, or else it will order the school system closed, locking the doors to more than 480,000 public school students, until the system is fixed. Specifically, the court struck down the portion known as local option budgets, or LOBs, which is the additional money districts can raise on their own, beyond what the state provides in base funding. Some districts receive additional aid to subsidize those LOBs, and the combination of local taxes and state aid in that area add up to roughly $1 billion, or about 25 percent of all K-12 education funding in Kansas. Republicans were quick to criticize the ruling, arguing that it violates the concept of separation of powers. But there was no indication about whether they would try to respond to the ruling this week,

faculty,” she said. “To change the university code … I don’t think it would be very productive in the long run to say those three elements of the university can have multiple representatives that are each working separately from one another.” The final report of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group formed last fall by the office of the provost calls for KU administration to support creation of the MSG and also for the current Student Senate to be “placed under immediate review.” (The report describes the Student Senate’s “exclusivity and greek life-centeredness” as a “crisis.”) I asked Gray-Little

about the advisory group recommendations, too. She said to expect a response to those recommendations around the end of the summer. “What our effort will have to be is how to make some of the recommendations specific and not just say, ‘This is a good idea, we agree with you, that’s an important goal.’ What do you actually do to achieve it? … We have to be very specific about things we’re going to do.” She added: “I am not interested in having things that don’t work just to say that you have something.”

which would probably extend the sine die session by several days, or wait and call a special session later. “I will be talking with my colleagues in the Senate about the best course forward dealing with the Court’s ruling — a ruling which tramples the checks and balances enshrined in the state constitution,” Wagle said Friday. Meanwhile, Democrats issued statements putting the onus squarely on the shoulders of Republicans to come up with a constitutional funding mechanism, giving no indication that they would offer one of their own. “Republican legislators have once again failed to comply with their constitutional duty to fairly fund our schools,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said. Kerry Gooch, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, also put the blame on Republican lawmakers. “They are jeopardizing our students’ education and future,” he said. “Kansas used to be renowned for its excellent education system. However, because of Brownback and his conservative allies in the Legislature, our schools are on the verge of closing.”

unanimous votes, included a provision clarifying that when a taxpayer loses their appeal of a tax dispute at the Board of Tax Appeals, they are entitled to appeal further to a district court and receive a “de novo” trial, meaning it would receive a new review, as if the dispute had not been heard before by any other tribunal. In his veto message, Brownback suggested it was special legislation to favor one individual. But he did not specifically mention retired businessman and longtime GOP activist Gene Bicknell, who is embroiled in a $50 million income tax dispute with the Kansas Department of Revenue. However, that bill came out as a conference committee report that also had the contents of several other tax-related bills packaged together, and those portions were also considered important to some lawmakers, most of which deal with property taxes. Those include provisions that limit the ability of county appraisers to increase the valuation on property for two years after the valuation has been reduced through the appeals process. Another empowers the state’s property valuation director to remove county appraisers from office if they fail to meet continuing education requirements, have been convicted of certain crimes, or have been the subject of a final civil judgment finding fraud, misrepresentation, or deceit in appraising property. Other provisions deal with how oil and gas leases are appraised, and one spells out the standard for determining when a home that is occasionally used as a bed and breakfast is assessed for tax purposes at the residential rate of 11.5 percent of its appraised value or the higher 25 percent commercial rate.

Veto overrides The other major items lawmakers will have to take up are Brownback’s vetoes of a tax bill and two line items in the recently-passed budget. Procedurally, the governor’s veto message must be read into the record. Then, whoever chairs the meeting of the chamber where those bills originated must open the floor for a motion to pass the bill, “notwithstanding the governor’s veto.” In the case of the two line-item vetoes, it’s unlikely that anyone will make such a motion. But Wagle specifically mentioned an override of Brownback’s veto of Senate Bill 280 in her email to Republican senators. That bill, which passed both chambers by

many years it takes. This is great news.” Domer and his three brothers are ecstatic. Ken Domer, a retired banker from Spearville, is credited by Dennis as being the driving force in the family to keep the matter alive with Moran’s office. “It just takes my breath away,” Dennis says of the effort that Moran and others have made to get the project this far. But, of course, Dennis Domer there could be an even more emotional moment to come. Taps could be played again, Domer’s 98-year old mother — who grew up with Carol and still remembers him — could be there, and the grave could be filled. “It would be an unimaginable emotional time,” Dennis says. “It has just built up for so many decades.” True, it may not happen. Domer doesn’t expect the recovery team to find the remains all these years later. “That would be too much of a miracle,” he says. But even if Carol Domer’s remains never return home, Dennis says this still will have been worth the effort. He promises at least one family member will be on the site off the coast of Kawa Island when the recovery crew does its work. “Perhaps we can lay a wreath,” he says. Back in Centralia, Carol’s grave will never be truly empty again. The family has done all that anyone can do to remember. May we all do so on this Memorial Day. — Managing Editor Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362 or clawhorn@ljworld.com.

Remember the Past, But Plan for the Future.

Today, we pause to remember those loved ones who have come and gone. Those who have left their mark, impacted our lives, and whose love and actions have helped mold us into who we are today. We are good at remembering the past, but many of us fall short on planning for the future. Perhaps today, as we think about what was or what could have been, we can plan for something we know will be. It may also be a good time, with family gathered, to think about the completion of your life, to preplan your funeral without the emotional turmoil. There are many emotional and financial reasons for preplanning to be considered and one of our counselors can explain all the benefits to you and your family.

Chancellor CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

KU has not yet shared details about how cuts will be implemented, but the chancellor answered questions about some of the considerations, as well as the possibility that it will lead to even larger tuition increases. Brownback signed a budget bill into law May 18 while at the same time ordering $97 million in allotment cuts. Those cuts average a 4 percent reduction for most state agencies, but the governor accepted a proviso put into the budget by lawmakers that will force KU and Kansas State University to shoulder a larger share. The action brought the total cut to the KU system to $10.7 million, with $7 million at the Lawrence campus and $3.7 million at KU Medical Center. Also on May 18, the Regents heard tuition proposals from the leaders of all six state universities. Last year the Legislature imposed a 3.6 percent cap on tuition increases, but that cap was lifted this year enabling KU’s proposed increase of 4 percent. Under KU’s tuition proposal presented this month, an in-state undergraduate at the Lawrence campus would pay $4,743 per semester — $5,228 including required fees — to attend KU during the 201617 academic year. That’s an increase of $182 — or $200 including required fees — over 2015-16. State general funds make up roughly 21 percent of KU’s total operating budget. KU’s total operating budget for fiscal year 2016 was $631 million, including $128 million in state general fund appropriations for operations, according

Bridge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

When complete, the arch bridge was 1,026 feet long with a brick surface and streetcar tracks running down the middle. The old, wooden Howe truss bridge is visible in some of Wright’s photos. That bridge was the original in Lawrence. It was partially completed during Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence in August 1863. According to a newspaper article that ran 100 years after the bridge’s opening, a subcontractor and seven laborers on the bridge were killed during Quantrill’s Raid. “However, the contractors and stockholders rallied sufficient support to complete the structure,” the article states. The total cost of the project was $47,000. The original bridge was deemed unsafe in 1913, prompting Douglas County to start the process of building the concrete arch bridge. The 1917 bridge was demolished, with some difficulty, during construction of the bridges that exist now. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

to the university’s initial operating budget published last summer. An additional $10 million in state general funds was designated for specific projects. How significant are these new budget reductions to KU? “Because of the level of the reduction, it’s not something where we can take cuts and not notice the difference. We will notice the difference,” Gray-Little said. “That’s real money that’s going to make a difference in what we do and cannot do.” How is KU going to accommodate the larger-than-expected budget cuts? Emphasizing that the cuts announced this month represented a continuation of reductions in support from the state, Gray-Little said: “The reduction that we have just gotten is somewhat larger than we anticipated, and of course it’s disproportionate, so it’s a very unkind cut.” She said implementation must be guided, at her level, by considering what KU does that’s most important. “Whenever you have a loss of money, or where you have increases in money, you have to think about what your core principals are and what’s fundamental,” she said. “I’m not going to be able to say we’ll cut this and not that, but I think that is the guidance, how can we be true to the mission?”

“

The reduction that we have just gotten is somewhat larger than we anticipated, and of course it’s disproportionate, so it’s a very unkind cut.” — KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little inflation, per-student state funding for KU has declined 40 percent over the past 15 years, GrayLittle said. “It’s a very, very major change in who pays for higher education in the state, with obviously the state paying less and less and students paying more and more,” she said. “We have not made any specific decisions here about changing the tuition increase because of the reductions, but it’s certainly a relevant discussion.”

Are you worried that tuition increases — either as currently proposed or potentially even higher increases — could deter enrollment, especially for some of the underrepresented groups KU is trying to grow? It is a concern, and particularly so with lowincome students, GrayLittle said. “Our tuition reflects something of a balance between what we need and what we think our market of students can afford and will be attracted by,” Gray-Little said. The Board of Regents “We’re always looking at is scheduled to consider that with regard to low-instate universities’ tuition come students. Of course proposals at its June the more tuition goes up meeting. Will KU prothe farther and farther we pose increasing tuition get away from what they even more in light of the can afford or, to look at additional budget cuts it another way, the more announced May 18? resources we have to find When adjusted for for student aid.”

Cut Your Costs on Heating & Air

Monday, May 30, 2016

What will guide KU’s decision on whether to further increase tuition for the upcoming year? Gray-Little said KU must have enough revenue to ensure it can offer the quality of education that’s expected, but at the same time keep tuition low enough that students will come. “We are always trying to evaluate the level of tuition with regard to what resources we need to offer the quality that we want, and what effects that tuition level will have on students’ application and enrollment,” she said.

academic potential, diversity, family circumstances and the student’s ability to benefit from support available at the university. “To the extent that we know right now, our pool is looking good with regard to the number and diversity of the students,” she said. “It

Another factor that may impact enrollment, KU’s new — and higher — automatic admission standards go into effect this fall. Any early indication yet about whether those are affecting enrollment and acceptance rates? There has been a fouryear notice about the new requirements, GrayLittle said. In brief, the standardized test score and GPA requirements to be automatically admitted to KU have increased. Applications of students who don’t meet the marks for automatic admission will be reviewed by a committee considering factors such as strength of high school coursework,

An epic ‘Roots’ remake There will never be another “Roots.” But that does not detract from “Roots” (8 p.m., History, A&E, Lifetime and LMN, TV-14), the epic four-night television event based on writer Alex Haley’s novelistic take on his sprawling family tree, a story that takes viewers from 18thcentury Africa to 20th-century America. Malachi Kirby stars as Kunta Kinte, the son of a tribal leader of the Mandinka people from what is now known as Gambia. Part one explores his youth, set against a background of growing tribal rivalries exacerbated by the arrival of slave-buying Europeans. His incarceration on a slave ship and his leadership role in a bloody rebellion receive a cinematic treatment and make for harrowing viewing. They also provide grim preparation for his treatment at the hands of Virginia plantation owners. Look for Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker as Fiddler, an urbane, selftaught classical musician who believes his sophisticated ways allow him to avoid a slave’s fate. The arrival of Kinte, and his defiant attitude, remind Fiddler of what he is, what he has become and all that he has lost. A fast-paced epic adventure, “Roots” features performances by James Purefoy, Matthew Goode, Anna Paquin and Laurence Fishburne, to name a well-known few. It may not reach the audience that the original “Roots” did in 1977, but this four-night remake is an admirable and entertaining television event. Like the original, it will provoke a profound look at assumptions about American history and the “civilizing” influence of Western culture.

Paving the way

Heroes’ sacrifice inspired chaplain By Norris Burkes The Sacramento Bee

Memorial Day is a good time to honor not only those who served in the U.S. military but also those who served their families and communities in many other ways.

t’s good to remember those who paved the way. Memorial Day was established to honor men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military, and that still is the focus of many ceremonies and personal visits to cemeteries across the nation. In every sense, those who died in service of their country paved the way for the freedoms Americans are blessed to enjoy today, and Memorial Day is a special time to honor their sacrifice. This holiday also is an opportunity to honor people who sacrificed in other ways or those who simply lived their lives in a manner that prepared the way for those who came after them. Flags dotting graves at cemeteries across the nation honor not only those who died in military service but those who served and survived to raise families and serve their communities in civilian roles. Cemeteries are a window on the people, from a community’s founding to the present day, who have paved the way for those who came after them. Lawrence’s Oak Hill Cemetery was established in 1865 specifically to honor the victims of Quantrill’s Raid, a pivotal and defining event in the community’s history. Among those buried there are people who survived the raid and helped rebuild Lawrence and inspire the generations that followed and people who helped shape the state of Kansas, including the state’s first governor, Charles Robinson, and its first U.S. senator, James Lane. The legacies of James Naismith and Forrest “Phog” Allen are less heroic, but perhaps no less important to the community Lawrence is today. Legendary KU basketball coach Allen is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, and Naismith, the inventor of basketball, is across the way at Memorial Park Cemetery. The two cemeteries are the final resting place for thousands of people who contributed to Lawrence in many ways. For many families, Memorial Day is a time to honor ancestors and loved ones, who quite literally made their lives possible. It’s a time to ponder the importance of family and perhaps draw some inspiration to pass a positive legacy on to those who come after us. On Memorial Day, many people are looking forward to a fun summer ahead, but it’s also a time to pause and appreciate those who, through military service and everyday activities, contributed to the freedom and way of life we enjoy today.

Memorial Day often takes me down “hero’s highway.” This particular highway consisted of about a hundred feet of concrete from the helicopter-landing pad into the back door of the Air Force Field Hospital in Balad, Iraq. I remember it well. I was the chaplain there in 2009. I met a lot of heroes, but those I remember today are those whose memorial services I conducted. We called these sacred soldier ceremonies, “Patriot Details,” and they were usually conducted the hour after a soldier died. I officiated my first one on Jan. 10, 2009, for 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Justin Bauer. In the few minutes after Bauer was pronounced dead from a roadside bomb, our hospital commander sent word-of-mouth invitations for “all-hands-available” to quietly assemble in the Emergency Room. Thirty minutes later, I was standing before a hundred hastily assembled staff members, all soldierly quiet, as if waiting for permission to breathe. If the staff was expecting me to grant that permission, they’d keep waiting. I was having respiratory difficulties of my own, overcome by a self-imposed demand to make sense of it all. Hoping to find the right words, I patted my pockets, seemingly looking for my pastoral insight. I felt like a little boy digging for the candy money that emptied through a hole in my pocket. All my wisdom had escaped through a crack in my soul. I closed my eyes and silently begged God to give

“

Today when people ask me why I volunteered to serve in a combat hospital, I can’t easily answer them. Mostly, I tell them I needed to be an eyewitness to the honor, character and bravery of these soldiers.” me something to say and to let my fears pass. My fears didn’t pass, but I did feel some inspiration as I remembered a former supervisor who was fond of quoting Carl Jung’s description of the “Wounded Healer.” The old chaplain often said that it was a chaplain’s “own hurt that gives a measure of his power to heal.” I thought about the hurt my family would feel if this were my death, and I asked myself what I would want said. From a tight throat, I finally choked something out. “Staff Sergeant Justin Bauer was one of us. In fact, we are also him. We didn’t know him, but we are less without him today. I believe he knows our presence now as he is now known by God.” I closed the 15-minute ceremony with scripture and a prayer, even as I wondered if I should have said more. How could it be enough? But it had to be. It was all I had. My chaplain assistant, Technical Sgt. David Pastorius, barked, “Ah-ten-SHUN!” and cued the color guard to assemble around the body. They unfolded the American flag and snapped its corners tight, levitated it over Bauer and then released it until it

shaped the body with a redwhite-and blue silhouette. Taps played from a CD behind the nurses’ station, salutes were rendered by armed doctors and hardened veterans. The honor guard rolled the body from the emergency room, and I joined them as we made our way into the adjoining morgue. A few minutes later, a Special Forces medic found me talking outside the morgue with the honor guard. “Hey, Chaplain. One more thing,” he said. “None of us knew him, but we can still toast a fellow soldier.” From a knapsack, he pulled a case of “Near Beer,” a product as close to alcohol as we could get in the combat theater. We each took a can and simultaneously popped the lids. The bursting lids reminded me of the synchronized breaking of communion wafers during worship. “The first sip is for Bauer,” he declared. “Bauer!” we said. Then the medic coaxed us to raise our cans above our head. “We spill the beer the way Bauer spilled his blood,” he said. The moment had all the liturgy of a Sunday Mass. We turned the cans on their side until several ounces muddied the dirt. Then the medic raised his can again, and said, “To you. You are my brothers.” His words reminded me of a priest raising the wine chalice and quoting Jesus: “This is my blood which was spilled for you.” The medic was right. None of us knew him, so we Googled his name in the days after our not-beer ceremony.

We read that he was a 2002 graduate of Berthoud High, just north of Denver. He was a paratrooper, third-generation military and a secondgeneration firefighter. In between his two tours of Iraq, he married his high school sweetheart, Kari, just three months before his death. We also learned that he was considered a hometown hero in his civilian role as a firefighter when he resuscitated a woman after a car accident. With that kind of heroics, we weren’t surprised that the military would award him the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. Seven years ago this month, when I boarded my return flight to Sacramento, Calif., my replacement asked me where I found the emotional stamina to conduct nine Patriot Details. I told him that if people like Justin could do their job under the conditions they endured, then it was the least I could do to honor them. Today when people ask me why I volunteered to serve in a combat hospital, I can’t easily answer them. Mostly, I tell them I needed to be an eyewitness to the honor, character and bravery of these soldiers. I needed to say that I traveled hero’s highway with them and stood on the sacred soil where they died. Gratefully, more than 97 percent of our soldier-patients went home on a plane much like mine. The other heroes, like Justin Bauer, went home under a flag. Memorial Day is their day. Remember them always. — Norris Burkes is a Sacramento, Calif., hospice chaplain and the author of “Hero’s Highway.” He retired from the Air National Guard in 2014.

Higher education must address criticisms By Gene Budig and Alan Heaps

As another academic year draws to a close, higher education is facing increasing criticism and scrutiny. Seemingly, little progress has been made in long-standing areas of concern. l Higher education is unaffordable for many. Over the last 20 years, average tuition and fees have increased by 170 percent at private universities and by 296 percent at public universities. l Too few who enroll finish. Sixyear graduation rates are 58 percent for public four-year colleges and 65 percent for private four-year colleges. l For many, quality of education is not what it should be. Only 36 percent of the public and only one third of business leaders believe that college graduates are prepared for workplace success at their businesses. And over the last several years, new serious criticisms have arisen, two of which have received much media coverage and public attention. One involves sexual assault and harassment, an epidemic too often ignored or mishandled. A recent survey reports that one in five young women in college says they have been sexually violated. The other involves race. Racial incidents, administrative responses, and accusations of institutions turning a blind eye to their histories have rocked campuses. In turn these have led to further clashes about political correctness and freedom of speech.

These criticisms — both old and new — need effective responses that go beyond rhetoric and public relations. The problems must be confronted then solved in a timely and efficient manner. Bottom line Budig is that higher education needs to get its act together. But it is important that we not demonize its institutions or its people. The anger and frustration caused by America’s deep political and cultural rifts Heaps too often lead to gross oversimplifications and generalizations. Immigrants are criminals. Muslims are terrorists. Corporations only benefit the rich. Government is incompetent. Conservatives are indifferent to the poor. Liberals believe in a welfare state. The criticisms of higher education are legitimate but it, like the larger world, cannot be labelled as simply good and bad. Much great work is taking place in higher education. Colleges and universities are also engines of equality, bearers of high standards and centers of intellectual and artistic excellence and innovation. Twenty million students are in higher education; three million graduate

every year. The number of students of all races and income levels has increased significantly, and the diversity of our system gives opportunities to students of all kinds. More than a million foreign students come to study here every year, and 35 of the world’s top 50 universities are American. So what must higher education do as it moves into the future? The answers are complex because of the variety of institutions, but some basic rules can be set. l Higher education must more publicly acknowledge its weaknesses and take a more visible role in suggesting and implementing solutions. l Higher education must develop stronger ties to other institutions that are working to solve society’s problems. l Higher education must define its goals and willingly be held accountable. l Higher education must adjust in providing more specialty elementary and secondary teachers to rural America. l Higher education must have more creative and cooperative programs with progressive community colleges. And there are others. It is time for all of our great institutions to acknowledge their responsibilities and join in swift action. — Gene Budig is past president or chancellor of three major state universities, including Kansas University, and of baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a researcher and former vice president of the College Board in New York City.

Five die as severe weather devastates Texas, Kansas At least four are missing as region is inundated Greg Toppo USA TODAY

Five people died and at least four others were missing Sunday after heavy rains in Texas and Kansas caused severe flooding. In one case near Austin, which received 9 inches of rain this week, a vehicle with two people was swept off a flooded roadway. The occupants were two of the missing. Threats of floods prompted authorities to evacuate thousands of prisoners near Houston, and inmates in another prison on Saturday fought with correctional officers after flooding caused a power outage. Most of the deaths took place in rural Washington County, Texas, between Austin and Houston, where more than 16.5 inches of rain fell in some places late last week, the Associated Press reported. The bodies of two other missing motorists were found Saturday in separate parts of the county, authorities said. In hard-hit Houston, rising rivers and

creeks prompted Harris County officials on Saturday to ask about 750 families in the Northwood Pines subdivision to evacuate the Houston Chronicle reported. Southwest of Houston, Fort Bend County officials warned of possible record-setting floods on Tuesday, calling the event a “potential 100-year flood.” Homes as far as 4 miles away from the swollen Brazos River are threatened, officials said. Memorial Day events were canceled as 20 inches of rain fell north of the river. Near Fort Worth, authorities were searching Sunday for a 10-year-old boy who fell into the Brazos River while fishing with friends. Rainfall was likely to “obliterate” a 1994 record in Simonton, Texas, where officials issued a mandatory evacuation order. Near Austin in Travis County, aerial searchers were to resume looking for two missing people whose vehicle was swept off a flooded roadway, said emergency services spokeswoman Lisa Block. In Kansas, the search for a missing 11year-old boy resumed Sunday and expanded beyond the swollen creek he fell into Friday night, according to Wichita Fire Department battalion chief Scott Brown.

WASHINGTON Republican Trey Hollingsworth moved to Indiana last fall and soon began campaigning for an open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The transplanted Tennessean had some big advantages on his way to winning the May 3 primary. The 32-year-old multimillionaire could spare the $1.2 million he plowed into his own campaign. And an outside super PAC, which cannot legally coordinate its advertising with Hollingsworth, sprang up to attack one of his rivals, Indiana Attorney Greg Zoeller, on his behalf. All of its money, however, came from a single source: the candidate’s dad back in Tennessee, Joe Hollingsworth. Super PACs, which can raise unlimited sums, have become a staple of U.S. elections. But this year’s races highlight the ways candidates’ close allies have seized on them to navigate around rules that restrict them from donating more than $2,700 to a candidate for the primary or general election. Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer, one of the leading critics of super PACs, said the practice is a “flat-out evasion of campaign-contribution limits” and makes a “mockery” of election laws. “The notion that a super PAC funded by a family member … is independent is simply an oxymoron,” he said. A USA TODAY analysis of newly filed reports found 182 super PACs with three or fewer donors during the 2016 election cycle. In all, they have collected $71.6 million, or nearly 10% of the $766 million raised by all super PACs through the end of April. The single-donor groups range from labor unions moving money into their super PACs to Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, replenishing the funds in a group he controls, Independence USA. Bloomberg’s super PAC works to elect candidates who share his views on gun control, the environment, education and gay rights. In other cases, these PACs amount to “friends and family” committees, in which a spouse, parent or longtime friend emerges as the sole funder to

700 migrants feared drowned in Mediterranean shipwrecks U.N. agency says 14,000 refugees were rescued at sea in just the past week

Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

Horrific stories emerged Sunday about 700-plus migrants who drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea since Wednesday, according to the United Nations refugee agency. Rescuers saved 14,000 people at sea last week, by far the highest weekly number yet this year, said William Spindler, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. The rescues involved a flotilla of ships from multiple nations, including Italy,

Ireland and Germany, according to The Irish Times. One incident Thursday involved two overloaded boats, one towing another that didn’t have a motor, which smugglers had cut loose when the boat began to disintegrate and take on water, Spindler said. The motorless boat was loaded with 675 people — and 25 of them jumped off and swam to the other boat. Rescuers later saved another 79 people and pulled 15 bodies from the water, he said. About 550 were missing and presumed dead, he said. Police in the port city of Pozzallo, Sicily, where survivors were taken, arrested a Sudanese na-

tional, Adam Tarik, 29, on smuggling and murder charges, according to Ragusa police patrol chief Nino Ciavola, the Italian newspaper La Stampa reported. Another 100 people were missing from a smuggler’s boat that capsized Wednesday, Spindler said. Images of the disaster were captured by Italian sailors and posted to the Internet. Rescuers also recovered 45 bodies and saved 135 people from a third wreck on Friday, Spindler said. The International Organization on Migration estimates that 194,611 migrants and refugees entered Europe so far this year, with more than 1,475 missing.

well-intended or justified the desire to carve out such refugees might be.” “Accordingly, it is my official opinion that both federal law and the State’s agreement to act as the state refugee resettlement coordinator prevent the State from denying federally-funded benefits to Syrian refugees lawfully admitted into the United States,” Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens wrote. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also vowed to legally challenge the federal law, after announcing in November that his state would not accept any Syrian refugees. But a federal judge denied the Texas attorney general’s request for a temporary injunction to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Texas. “The Court does not deny that the Syrian refugees pose some risk. That would be foolish,” U.S. District Judge David Godbey wrote in February. “In our country, however, it is the federal executive that is charged with assessing and mitigating that risk, not the states and not the courts.” As those cases make clear, Soerens said, “If Mr. Trump intends to abide by the law and submit to the authority of our court system, he would not have ‘a choice’ as governor to halt resettlement.” Added Kevin Appleby, senior director of international migration policy at the Center for Migration Studies: “The law is pretty clear that the federal government has the power, once a refugee has been accepted, to resettle them anywhere in the U.S.” And despite the rhetoric, threats and best efforts of some governors strongly opposed to resettlement of Syrian refugees, Stacie Blake, director of government and community relations for the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, told us that “the U.S. refugee program has continued unabated.” She said, “The program (including for Syrian refugees) is proceeding as it always has. There has been no slowdown due to any of the statements or actions of any of the governors.” American University law professor Stephen Vladeck said the governors’ bold prohibitions against accepting Syrian refugees in their states was “a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” “States have absolutely zero legal authority to refuse to allow refugees already admitted into the United States into their jurisdiction, specifically, regardless of their purported justification,” Vladeck said via email. “And if a state is specifically barring refugees of particular national origin, race, or religious belief, then that policy is doubly unconstitutional — on both federalism and individual rights grounds.” After Trump made his statements about Martinez, her press secretary, Mike Lonergan, released a statement saying that Martinez “will not be bullied into supporting a candidate until she is convinced that candidate will fight for New Mexicans.” Lonergan also noted that Martinez “has strongly opposed the president’s Syrian refugee plan.”

Internal ‘playbooks’ part of class-action suit against school Steph Solis USA TODAY

A federal judge ordered the release of Trump University internal documents in a class-action lawsuit against the now-inactive real estate school in response to a request by The Washington Post. U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s order requires that the documents be released by Thursday, the Post reported. The documents would include “playbooks,” marketing material advising employees how to promote the real estate courses. The order was made Friday, the same day Trump called Curiel a “hater of Donald Trump” and suggested that the judge, who is Hispanic, is biased against him for his immigration platform. “I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself,” Trump said. “I think it’s a disgrace that he’s doing this.” “What happens is the judge, who happens to be — we believe — Mexican. Which is great. I think that’s fine,” he added. “You know what? I think the Mexicans are going to end up loving Donald Trump when I give all these jobs, OK?” While Trump’s lawyers deny any wrongdoing, the lawsuit claims that Trump University lured students into high-priced courses and pressured students to buy more — as much as $35,000 for the seminars — without delivering as promised, according to the Associated Press. Trump’s lawyers argued that the release of marketing material could be damaging for the business. Curiel wrote that the presidential hopeful had “placed the integrity of these court proceedings at issue,” the Post reported. The trial is set for November.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has aimed barbs at New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who is chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association.

His immigration stance misstates the role of a governor Robert Farley FactCheck.org

Donald Trump took several verbal jabs at Republican New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez after she declined to attend his rally in Albuquerque. But his criticism of her effort to keep Syrian refugees out of New Mexico was way off base. Trump wrongly claimed that “Syrian refugees are being relocated in large numbers to New Mexico.” Only 10 Syrian refugees have been relocated to New Mexico while Martinez has served as governor. Trump also missed the mark when he boasted that “if I was governor” the resettlement of Syrian refugees in New Mexico “wouldn’t be happening.” Governors have no legal authority to bar refugees from relocation to their state, as those who have tried found out. The resettlement process is guided by federal law. Trump’s barbs at Martinez, who is chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, came after the governor declined to attend Trump’s first New Mexico campaign event in Albuquerque last Tuesday. Martinez, the nation’s first Hispanic female governor, has criticized some of Trump’s immigration remarks and has, according to the Albuquerque Journal, been “noncommittal as to whether she will support him.” According to the Journal, when asked why she was not attending, she said she was “really busy.” So in his speech, Trump

help elect a loved one. Super PACs funded by just a handful of donors have been active in at least two Maryland House races, for instance. In one contest, Amie Hoeber, a national security consultant from the Washington suburb of Potomac, captured the GOP nomination with help from nearly $1.7 million in outside spending by a super PAC called Maryland USA. The group was funded almost entirely by donations from her husband, Mark Epstein, who has served as a top executive with Qualcomm. “All he does is write checks,” Hoeber told USA TODAY about her husband’s role in the super PAC. “There’s no other involvement.” Hoeber said she’s been “absolutely pristine” about maintaining an “arm’s length” relationship from the super PAC, before adding that she needed to include her lawyer in the interview before answering any more questions. Her attorney, veteran Republican campaign lawyer Charles Spies, said contributing money is no indication of improper coordination. “Amie’s husband makes donations and sends checks but has no contact other than that,” he said in a phone interview. In Indiana, Hollingsworth ruffled feathers in the state’s Republican establishment when he competed against better-known Republicans for an open House

ton, Tenn., company builds industrial facilities throughout the South. Neither Hollingsworth’s campaign spokeswoman nor Joe Hollingsworth responded to interview requests. New Hampshire-based strategist David Carney, who oversees Indiana Jobs Now, said Joe Hollingsworth came up with the idea of starting the super PAC late last year and then stepped back and allowed the strategists to run it. “He was not involved in any of the things that we did,” he said. That included an ad called “Clones,” that described the younger Hollingsworth as a “conservative outsider” in a sea of carbon-copy politicians. Trey Hollingsworth’s primary win means he could soon be on his way to Washington. He faces Democrat Shelli Yoder, a college professor and a former Miss Indiana, in the general election, but independent political handicappers rate the seat as solidly Republican. The super PAC, however, won’t be closing up shop anytime soon. Carney said Joe Hollingsworth recently contributed another $400,000, and the PAC now will broaden its focus to help elect other Indiana Republicans with business backgrounds to state and federal offices. “Joe’s philosophy is that there’s something to having some business experience and worrying about having to make a payroll,” Carney said.

ZOO MOURNS GORILLA KILLED Animal shot after 4-year-old boy fell into moat at zoo exhibit in Cincinnati

“About four or five minutes later, we heard the gunshot. We were pretty distraught. All the kids were crying.” Brittany Nicely, zoo visitor from Dayton

Cameron Knight and Mallorie Sullivan The Cincinnati Enquirer

The Cincinnati Zoo was open Sunday for Memorial Day weekend tourists, but the gorilla exhibit was closed indefinitely after authorities killed a gorilla that attacked a 4-year-old boy who fell into the enclosure’s moat. Zoo president Thane Maynard said the boy crawled through a barrier Saturday, fell 10 to 12 feet and was grabbed by the zoo’s 17year-old male western lowland gorilla, Harambe. The Cincinnati Fire Department said in a statement that first responders “witnessed a gorilla who was violently dragging and throwing the child.” The boy was with the 400-pound animal for about 10 minutes before the zoo’s Dangerous Animal Response Team deemed the situation “lifethreatening,” Maynard said. Police confirmed the child was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center near the zoo and was treated for non-lifethreatening injuries. “The choice was made to put down, or shoot, Harambe, so he’s gone,” Maynard said. “We’ve never had a situation like this at the Cincinnati Zoo where a dangerous animal needed to be dispatched in an emergency situation.” Maynard said the Dangerous Animal Response Team followed procedures, which they practice in drills. He said no one had ever gotten into the enclosure in the 38-year history of the zoo’s gorilla exhibit. “It’s a sad day all the way around,” Maynard said. “They made a tough choice. They made the right choice, because they saved that little boy’s life. It could have been very bad.” After the gorilla was shot, zoo employees unlocked the gate and two firefighters quickly retrieved the child, according to the fire department. Two female gorillas also were in the enclosure. “We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically endangered

Flowers were laid at a statue at Cincinnati Zoo the day after Harambe, a western lowland gorilla, was killed to protect a child who had entered its enclosure. gorilla,” he said in a news release. “This is a huge loss for the zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide.” Brittany Nicely of Dayton was visiting the zoo with her two children and four other children and were at Gorilla World when the incident took place. “Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little boy in the bushes past the little fence area. I tried to grab for him. I started yelling at him to come back,” Nicely said. “Everybody started screaming and going crazy,” she said. “It happened so fast.” Nicely said the gorilla rushed toward the boy and led him by

the arm through the water in the enclosure. She said initially the gorilla seemed protective and only alarmed by all the screaming. The area was then evacuated by zoo staff. Nicely stood with her group outside the exhibit. “About four or five minutes later, we heard the gunshot,” she said. “We were pretty distraught. All the kids were crying.” Nicely said she spent the whole trip home explaining why they are told to stay close and not run at the zoo. “That could have been them,” she said. “Something like that could have happened. It’s a very

traumatizing experience for anybody involved. The kids, the zookeepers, the other gorillas that now don’t have him there anymore.” The decision to shoot Harambe instead of tranquilizing the animal was made in the interest of the boy’s safety, Maynard said. “In an agitated situation, it may take quite a while for the tranquilizer to take effect,” he explained. “At the instant he would be hit, he would have a dramatic response. You don’t hit him and he falls over.” Maynard also explained that while Harambe didn’t attack the child, the animal’s size and strength posed a great danger. “All sorts of things could have happened in a situation like that. He certainly was at risk,” Maynard said. He said that zoo officials have not yet spoken with the family of the child. Zoo officials will be reviewing the security of the enclosure and their procedures, but said they have no plans to stop the gorilla program. Harambe was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, before he was moved to Cincinnati in September 2014. Another gorilla, Gladys, named for her home zoo, also came to Cincinnati from Brownsville. Western lowland gorillas are one of four gorilla subspecies. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, populations of the critically endangered animal are hard to estimate because of the dense, remote rain forests where they make their home, but experts say between 175,000 to 225,000 could live mostly in Congo, but also in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. In 2009, the International Species Information System counted 158 male western lowland gorillas and 183 females in captivity in the United States. “Harambe was good guy. He was a youngest who started to grow up. There were hopes to breed him,” Maynard said. “It will be a loss to the gene pool of lowland gorillas.”

BEIJING A Chinese detergent company has apologized for a commercial that drew claims of racism, but the company accused the international media of fueling the controversy by being “too sensitive.” The ad for Qiaobi laundry detergent, which has drawn millions of views on YouTube, shows a black man pushed into a washing machine and emerging later as a light-skinned Asian man. Shanghai-based Qiaobi said it had “no intention of discriminating against people of color” by making the commercial. “The color of one’s skin is not the standard by which we should judge each other. We strongly oppose and condemn racial discrimination,” the company said late Saturday on it official Weibo account, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. The company earlier suggested there was nothing wrong with the 50-second ad and blamed foreign media for being “too sensitive” about it. “We meant nothing but to promote the product, and we had never thought about the issue of racism,” a spokesman told the Global Times on Friday. China has faced similar scrutiny in recent months. In December, a promotional poster for the blockbuster movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens drew fire after it was edited to marginalize the character played by John Boyega, who is black. In the detergent ad, a black painter with white paint smudges on his face enters the room and whistles at a Chinese woman who’s doing some laundry. She beckons him forward and he approaches for what seems will result in a kiss, but the woman puts a green detergent pod in his mouth and shoves his head, then his body into the washing machine. He later pops out a

“washed” Asian. The company said in the statement that it strongly opposes racism and had stopped airing the ad. “We regret that our advertisement led to controversy and have no intention of shirking our responsibility,” the statement said. “The advertisement and the surrounding controversy have hurt those of African descent, and because of this we would like to apologize.” The company still seems to blame part of the outcry on foreign media that wrote about the ad, listing some organizations by name and saying those reports had “generated” public interest. “We hope that Chinese brands will continue to find success in international markets,” the company added. The statement added that the company hopes Internet users and the media “will not continue to over-analyze the situation.” The English-language Chinese news site Shanghaiist said the ad had been available on the Chinese messaging app WeChat, and was shown on TV and played in movie theaters this month in China.

Until foreign media began noticing the ad, few in China had commented on it. The What’s On Weibo site, which tracks the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, noted that the commercial became the No. 1 topic on the online forum Reddit with the heading, “Seriously China?” Many have taken to social media to say they find the ad “stupid” or “offensive.” “This type of advertising is too low. I will not buy this product,” said one Weibo user going by the name Fenglinchunyu. “This ad is inhuman, I hope they will ban it,” said another Weibo user, Ke Jiayan. Social media also referred to a nine-year-old Italian detergent commercial in which a gaunt Italian man is turned into a buff black man. That commercial’s music is used in the Chinese TV commercial. On Shanghaiist, writer Christopher Ivan suggested that Chinese culture played a role in the ad’s creation. “Many Chinese people have a well-established phobia of dark skin, which unfortunately also breeds racist attitudes towards people of African descent,” he said, adding that some people view blacks as “dirty” solely because of their skin color.

MEMORIAL DAY 2016 The streets of Washington, D.C. are filled with motorcyclists during the annual Rolling Thunder rally on Sunday. Rolling Thunder is an advocacy group dedicated to raising awareness for veterans issues and honoring American prisoners of war.

Bikers await the start of the First Amendment Demonstration Run on Sunday. The annual Memorial Day weekend gathering attracts thousands to the nation’s capital.

REMEMBERING, WITH A ROAR

onald Trump reiterated his pitch for improving the lot of veterans during a brief appearance Sunday before thousands of bikers at the Rolling Thunder rally in Washington, D.C. The annual Memorial Day weekend rally draws tens of thousands of motorcyclists, many of them veterans, to pay homage to fallen heroes and raise awareness of veterans’ issues. One issue has been the long waits for medical service at VA hospitals. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee said that, if elected, he would ensure that veterans could opt for private physicians, “and we’ll pay for it.” Last year, Trump angered veterans when he said he liked “people who weren’t captured” in wars. That

had been a dig at Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the party’s 2008 nominee, who had been captured and held for more than five years during the Vietnam War. Trump has since worked to fix the damage. Trump hit on several other familiar themes, including construction of a wall along the Mexican border. “We are going to have a real wall,” Trump told the crowd. “And who is going to pay for it?!” “Mexico!” the crowd roared in response. Trump also promised better international trade deals, an end to Obamacare and said the U.S. must “rebuild our military.” “We are going to beat ISIS. We are going to knock the hell out of them,” Trump added. John Bacon

SHELL’S JOB LOSSES EQUAL FACEBOOK’S ENTIRE PAYROLL Royal Dutch Shell’s announcement last week that it would eliminate 2,200 more positions brings its job losses to a total roughly equivalent to the entire payroll of Facebook. By the end of 2016, Shell will have slashed 12,500 positions. According to Statista, Facebook employed 12,691 as of 2015. Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meets Thursday in Vienna. LUFTHANSA TO SUSPEND FLIGHTS TO VENEZUELA German airline Lufthansa says it is suspending its flights to Caracas, citing the difficult economic situation in Venezuela. Lufthansa spokesman Andreas Bartels said Sunday that the company is suspending its three weekly Frankfurt-Caracas flights “until further notice” from June 17. Currency rationing is increasingly cutting Venezuela’s global trade. NYC’S FOUR SEASONS RESTAURANT RELOCATING A restaurant considered by many to be New York City’s original power-lunch spot has found a new location. The Four Seasons has been a favorite of celebrities and business titans since it opened in the landmark Seagram Building in 1959. It is scheduled to close in July. Restaurant owners Alex von Bidder and Julian Niccolini said Saturday they are relocating to 280 Park Ave., an office tower on Manhattan’s East Side. An 18-month renovation will begin next week.

The war on sugary drinks in part combats the perceived health risk posed by excess sugar in our diets.

Opponents say a sugary drink tax would disproportionately affect small businesses that can’t absorb potential price upticks.

Cities come down hard on sugary soft drinks New wave of taxes, warning labels could further burst bubble Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

Some cities are singling out sugar-sweetened drinks for proposals to add taxes or warning labels, borrowing from the playbook used to largely stamp out smoking a generation ago. The war on sugary drinks is being conducted by cities hungry for new sources of revenue while seeking to combat the perceived health risk posed by too much sugar in Americans’ diets. While the moves have hit relatively few communities, they are drawing attention and could spread, threatening to cut into sales of mainstay products of giants like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. “They’re bleeding a slow death,” says Joe Agnese, senior industry analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, about the growing movement against carbonated soft drinks. Battlegrounds include: uSan Francisco: Advertisements for sugar-sweetened drinks will have to start carrying warning labels starting in July. uPhiladelphia: The City Council is likely to vote in June on a proposal to tax all sugarsweetened beverages at 3 cents

An economic consultant for the beverage industry, Kevin Dietly, estimates that if every cent of the proposed tax in Philadelphia is passed on to customers, it will result in a 60% average increase in price and a 73% decline in demand for sugary drinks. uOakland: Voters decide in November whether to add a penny per ounce fee to sweet drinks. uBoulder, Colo.: A ballot measure in the works could let voters decide this fall whether to impose a soda pop tax. Berkeley, Calif. — adjoining Oakland and across the bay from San Francisco — passed a tax on beverages with added sweeteners

in 2014. Two states, Arkansas and West Virginia, have excise taxes on carbonated soft drinks and other sugary beverages that have been in place for decades. Apart from new taxes, sugary soft-drink sales are on the decline. Sales volume fell 1.5% in 2015, 1% in 2014, 3.2% in 2013, Beverage Marketing reports. “You have a lot of headwinds for the category,” says Gary Hemphill, managing director of research. Consumers have cut back as concerns have grown over the beverages’ health impacts. But passages of these tax measures are far from assured. Since 2008, taxes on sugary drinks have failed to gain enough votes from the public or local lawmakers, or

have been repealed, 43 times in different cities and states, according to the American Beverage Association, which represents bottlers, including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, both of which declined to comment for this story. In Philadelphia, Mayor Jim Kenney proposed the tax to fund early childhood education and other community initiatives. He says he isn’t trying to attack soda on the merits of its nutrition. “We’re not doing this from the perspective of trying to discourage people from drinking soda,” says Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the mayor’s office. The tax would apply to soda pop, fruit drinks that aren’t 100% juice, sports drinks, flavored water, energy drinks, pre-sweetened coffee or tea; and cocktail mixers. Rather, she says, sugar-sweetened beverages are a target because there are a limited number of distributors, making it easier to audit tax collections, and the drinks are “not an essential product.” The tax would not apply to diet sodas. Opponents say the sugary drink tax would disproportionately affect small businesses that won’t be able to absorb a potential price uptick, and besides, given the downward trend in soda consumption, it’s “not a reliable source of revenue,” says Larry Ceisler, whose firm Ceisler Media & Issue Advocacy works with the local Philadelphia coalition against the tax.

12 ‘ninja’ stocks spring out of the shadows Oil greases wheels for top energy players, which rule the rally Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The stock market’s stealth rally has caught many investors off guard — especially with some ninja stocks hardly anyone knew were ready to spring. Twelve stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including a group of energy companies such as Chesapeake Energy (CHK), not to mention materials company Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and utility NRG Energy (NRG) have soared 60% or more this year after punishing investors with vicious declines in 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Since the market bottomed

this year in February, the S&P 500 has surged a respectable 14.8%, helping to allay investors’ fears the market’s momentum was fading. But even this strong rally is nothing compared with some of the best performers’ runs. Eight of the 12 top stocks from the market’s trough this year are from the energy sector. The reason is straightforward: oil. The price of Brent crude oil has surged 33% this year. Just this month alone, oil prices have raced nearly 6% higher, arresting what had been a free fall last year. “Commodity prices are exhibiting positive momentum, taking their lead from the energy patch. The improvement is credited to modest economic expansion and production cutbacks,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. The result has been powerful energy-stock rally. No one knows better than investors in Oklaho-

ma City-based oil explorer Chesapeake Energy. Shares of the oil-exploration stock are up 134% since the market bottomed on Feb. 11 to close Friday at $4.16 a share. That’s a powerful rally for investors — after suffering through a 77% decline in 2015. Despite the huge rally, though, investors are cautious. After all, the shares are still down 70% from their highest point over the past 52 weeks — even after the rally. Analysts think the company will lose 41 cents a share this fiscal year, which is an even deeper loss in the previous fiscal year. The stock has an average rating of “hold,” and analysts think the shares will only be worth $4.64 apiece in 18 months. It’s not just an energy rally, although the oil stocks have been the key driver.

shares have surpassed the average 18-month price target of $10.43 a share. Analysts rate the stock a “hold.” Utilities stocks have also been strong as investors seek safety and dividends. NRG has been the strongest performer, jumping 69% from the low to close Friday at $16.19 a share. The diversified New Jersey-based power company, however, fell 56% in 2015 as the company took a massive $6.4 billion loss last year due to a $5.1 billion asset write-down connected with falling natural gas prices. Analysts are more optimistic about NRG’s prospects, rating the stock an outperform with an 18month price target of $18.13 a share. Investors might have been caught off guard by the rally, but at least they’re getting hit with good news from what’s been a dark alley of the markets for months: energy.

LAB-GROWN FOOD SOON MAY POP UP ON MENUS

Growing cultured meat could help solve coming food crises and combat climate change, proponents argue. Others speculate the technology could require more heat and electricity to produce the food in a sterile environment.

A burger made from cultured beef, developed by professor Mark Post of the Netherlands, gets a makeover with a richer red color and more cultivated fat tissue to boost taste.

Under a microscope, it looks like the real thing. But will consumers buy it? Christopher Doering @cdoering USATODAY

The cheeseburger, a staple of the summer cookout, could be getting a makeover. Nearly three years ago, Mark Post and a team of scientists at Maastricht University in the Netherlands introduced a futuristic lab-grown burger that cost $325,000. San Francisco-based Memphis Meats has created its own “cultured meat” with a price tag of $18,000 a pound (compared with grocer Hy-Vee, which recently advertised 85% lean ground beef for $4.99 a pound). The goal to change where meat — a mainstay of the human diet — and other animal-derived foods come from could have a jolting effect on modern agriculture if researchers can rein in the cost, maintain flavor and persuade consumers to buy it. “It will eventually have so many advantages that I can’t imagine that it will leave a market for livestock beef,” said Post, a meat lover who enjoys a filet mignon medium-rare. “If this is affordable and scalable, I would absolutely give up eating meat, livestock beef, no question.” Post conceded his new-age burger introduced three years ago was far from perfect. Since then, he has worked to improve the beef by conditioning it to express its natural vibrant-red color and cultivating fat tissue to boost the taste. The meat, which is WASHINGTON

grown in a lab using stem cells taken from the muscle of a live cow, looks the same as the real thing under a microscope. It could be available to some consumers as early as 2020, he said, but anyone interested in trying one will need to be willing to pay up. “It will be kind of an expensive product, (too much) for the supermarket but more for the highend restaurant or specialty stores,” Post said of the early ple who want to consume prodchallenge he expects the new ucts that align with their values, product to have. “Who’s going to their environmental conscience buy a $10 hamburger in the su- and, ultimately, products that are permarket?

be needed, the researchers speculated that growing cultured meat could require more heat and electricity to produce the product in a sterile environment, resulting in greater greenhouse gas emissions than conventionally raised pork and poultry. One exception is likely in beef, where methane produced by cows could give the lab an environmental advantage. The beef industry downplayed any impact from cultured meat. Tracy Brunner, president of the National Cattlemen Beef’s Association, said he didn’t consider the lab product “a threat, because it’s not beef.” The industry “believe(s) that beef comes from an animal raised by a rancher and that is the product that both our domestic and international customers demand,” he said. At New Harvest, a non-profit that funds academic research on cellular agriculture, donations have soared from $38,000 in 2013 to $600,000 a year ago; it is expecting to top $1 million in 2016, said Isha Datar, its president and chief executive. The organization uses the money to fund publicly accessible research on growing animal products without the animal. Datar said that while she’s pleased to see growing interest in products like cultured meat, she warned that much of the hype is premature due to a dearth of scientists in the field and the traditionally slow pace of research in biotechnology. “I don’t think we need to tap our brakes, I just think we need

stock will be put out to pasture. Lester Wilson, a professor of food science and human nutrition at Iowa State University, said he was doubtful that meats, cheeses, eggs and other products raised in a lab could gain an audience beyond a niche market. The technology will likely need to overcome many of the same obstacles that plague new inventions, including reducing costs to make the product competitive with existing items, meeting regulatory hurdles and persuading skeptical consumers to abandon traditional food sources for those that some view as better suited to The Jetsons or Star Trek. “It is similar to any new product that comes out in that it has to be not only proven safe, but that it is a quality product,” said Wilson. A 2015 study by researchers at Arizona State University and three other schools said that even though growing meat in the lab might be viewed as friendlier to animals, the environmental reality may be far more complicated. While less feed and land would

to make sure our expectations are appropriate,” Datar said. “I’m approaching this as science instead of a promise. The reason why I’m doing this work is because I think these are questions worth asking and not because I think cultured meat is going to save all of us.” Those on the animal-free food train are optimistic people will embrace a new definition of food. At Real Vegan Cheese in Oakland, 20 volunteers have been working since 2014 to replicate cow’s milk without the cow. Marc Juul, a self-described citizen scientist on the team, said they expect to have replicated all four proteins needed to create milk by this summer. Those proteins will then be combined with vegan-approved fats and sugars to make harder cheeses such as Gouda or cheddar. Real Vegan Cheese has conjured a batch of mozzarella that Juul, 33, claims tastes like the real thing and could be for sale within a year. “I’m confident we can get something that even if it tastes a bit different, maybe it will be a new type of cheese,” he said.

Sears seeks ‘alternatives’ for Kenmore, DieHard, Craftsman To stem losses, iconic retailer puts energy into home repairs Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

With its losses deepening, Sears is “exploring alternatives” for some of its top brand names such as Kenmore appliances, DieHard batteries and Craftsman tools in a bid to jack up growth. In releasing first-quarter results, Sears Holdings also said it wants to widen distribution of its homerepair outfit, Sears Home Services. Reached for more detail, spokesman Howard Riefs mentioned possible licensing, a “strategic relationship” with another company and wouldn’t rule out the possibility of selling one or more of its household-name brands. “We believe that exploring alternatives for these businesses now is the right approach to create long-term value and we

believe that we can realize significant growth by further expanding the presence of these brands outside of Sears and Kmart,” he wrote in an email. Sears shares rose 6.5% to close at $13.34 on Thursday, up 82 cents, although the earnings news was far from heartening. Sears said it lost $471 million compared with $303 million in the same quarter last year. Loss per share came to $4.41, or $1.86 adjusted for certain items. Analysts estimated a loss of $3.20 per share. Focusing on appliances has been one of Sears’ primary strategies in its attempt to regain profitability. It recently opened a store in Colorado dedicated to appliances. But home appliances were among the main categories that contributed to a sales decline at Sears’ U.S. stores in the quarter. As a result, some analysts weren’t impressed. “Sears is like a strange roller coaster that only ever travels in one direction — downward,” said Neil Saunders, CEO of retail research firm Conlumino. The report confirmed yet an-

Sears posts poor sales results, acknowledging many stores “are larger than needed for today’s technology-equipped consumer.” other woeful quarter for what was once an essential destination for American shoppers. Sears has failed to keep up with the changing nature of digital-era shopping and shopper behavior, closing hundreds of stores in recent years as it pares business costs. It is relying heavily on its remaining

real estate to raise cash to fund a transformation plan under CEO Edward Lampert. Lampert wrote a lengthy letter in February in part blaming Sears’ troubles on the advantage technology companies such as Uber and Amazon have with fewer overhead costs, or not having

to charge sales tax. In the report Thursday, Lampert blamed a highly promotional and competitive retail environment for the company’s falling sales. Comparable store sales, a measurement based on non-store sales and sales at stores open at least a year, fell 5.9% across Sears and Kmart. Total revenue fell from about $5.9 billion to $5.4 billion, though that came in ahead of the $5.3 billion analysts expected, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Part of the decline hinges on fewer Sears and Kmart stores, as the company has closed dozens of locations. Last month, Sears announced that 78 stores would close later this year, after already accelerating the closure of 50 stores at the start of the year. The company acknowledged in an earnings presentation that many of its stores “are larger than needed for today’s technologyequipped consumer.” In that vein, it has focused on building a more integrated business between digital and in-store services and more personalized marketing.

Lightning McQueen finds a young trainer to survive racing’s bells and whistles in ‘Cars 3’

FACUNDO ARRIZABALAGA, EPA

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Championship racer Lightning McQueen, voiced by Owen Wilson, will need help to compete in the increasingly high-tech racing world of the upcoming Cars 3. That’s where the new trainer comes in — the sleek, yellow Cruz Ramirez is a young Hispanic female race car who instructs Lightning McQueen, as this exclusive concept art depicts during a beach run. “Cruz Ramirez is trying to figure out how this old dog can learn some new tricks,” says Cars 3 director Brian Fee. Pixar’s anthropomorphic Cars franchise has followed Lightning McQueen as a rookie racing for the Piston Cup in Cars (2006) and around the globe in the World Grand Prix in Cars 2 (2011). But in Cars 3 (in theaters June 16, 2017), McQueen has progressed beyond veteran status. “Think of where he’d be in his career now in real time,” says Fee. “(McQueen) is not an old man, but he’s one of the older cars on the circuit with new rookies coming in. People start to wonder and ask when he might retire.” These questions grow louder after a race trouncing by upstart Jackson Storm. “Jackson Storm is the face of these rookies who have come onto the scene,” says Fee. “And McQueen is in a position where

his entire racing generation is being pushed out. But it’s too early to be shown the door right now.” Ramirez aims to help him adapt and close the technical gap. The duo prepare in the racing offseason for McQueen’s one chance to show he’s got the goods in the Florida 500 (the equivalent of the Daytona 500). “Everyone can relate to feeling like someone is at their heels, that they might be a little outdated in something they used to be very good at, feeling an expiration date. And knowing you need someone to help you get a second chance,” says Fee. Cars 3 is deep in production with some story points still being solidified and major casting (such as voices for Ramirez and Storm) not yet announced. But animation already is underway in established scenes. “We’re still creating the blueprints on some rooms of this house, but we’re starting to paint in other rooms,” the director says.

Fee is well entrenched in the Cars world for his directorial debut, after serving as storyboard animator in Cars and Cars 2, directed by John Lasseter. “Brian was part of the original story team on Cars, so he really knows the DNA,” says Lasseter, now chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios and executive producer for Cars 3. Cars 3 will feature McQueen with his signature Cars look and bring back familiar characters from the original’s Radiator Springs, including tow-truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), girlfriend Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt) and auto-body shop owner Ramone (Cheech Marin). The story will stay in America, hitting historical race sites nationwide. “This movie is a love letter to racing and the American way,” says Fee. “We’re inspired by the Americana you see traveling through the South where every small town has a dirt track.”

Although old-model Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is feeling his expiration date, the sleek, Hispanic, female Cruz Ramirez will help him navigate the technical gap.

LeBlanc is a longtime fan-turnedhost on Top Gear. “I want to do my best to make it funnier,” he says.

@jaymedeerwester USA TODAY

Matt LeBlanc can shift into his new role as co-host of BBC America’s Top Gear (Monday, 9 p.m. ET/PT) secure in the knowledge that no other Star in a Reasonably Priced Car will top his 2012 track record, which he still remembers, down to the tenth of a second. (“1:42.1,” he crows.) But how can the longtime fanturned-host be so sure? “We’re changing the layout of the track to make it more exciting,” he tells USA TODAY from London, where he’s filming TG and the final season of Showtime’s Episodes. He stresses they’re adding only to the race course the show uses for its celebrity lap times and power tests. TG, which uses humor and simple explanations to appeal to both serious auto enthusiasts and those utterly clueless about cars, has long been one of the BBC’s most popular and profitable franchises. It’s returning after nearly a year away and a cast shakeup.

It now boasts all new faces — aside from driving instructor/ mascot the Stig, who always keeps his hidden under a helmet. LeBlanc and BBC radio personality Chris Evans pick up where longtime hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May left off. “Chris is as funny as all three of them,” LeBlanc professes. Unlike the old hosts, who appeared in every segment, LeBlanc and Evans won’t have to do all the heavy lifting. Contributors include German race-car driver Sa-

bine Schmitz, a frequent TG guest who has put many a man to shame on her country’s famed Nürburgring circuit; veteran auto journalist and YouTube personality Chris Harris; Irish Formula One commentator Eddie Jordan; and the show’s first non-white on-air personality, Rory Reid, discovered during open auditions. So how does LeBlanc, the firstever American host, hope to make his mark? “I want to do my best to make it funnier. I like comedy; that’s what I do,” says the actor, who has seven Emmy

nominations from Episodes and NBC’s Friends. (He’s set to play a stay-at-home dad in CBS’ new sitcom Man With a Plan this fall.) He also is hoping to make the show more motorcycle-friendly. “That’s one of my goals, to bring more two-wheeled action.” He and Evans have already filmed several signature road trips, including jaunts to Ireland (featuring the Rolls Royce Dawn), South Africa (Porsche’s Macan SUV) and the beaches of England (the original Willy’s Jeep). His favorite so far? “The one we did in Morocco with the (high-performance off-road buggy).” LeBlanc also completed one Top Gear rite of passage: a public uproar. In March, paparazzi photos made it look as though he and American rally driver Ken Block were doing burnouts close to London’s Cenotaph war memorial, upsetting veterans and disrupting a wedding. The wedding party was fake; “they were all extras paid by the show,” he explains. “We didn’t do anything that wasn’t agreed to. But it all spun out of control so fast. … So I had to take one for the team.”

Greene hailed as hero By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A driver for a ride-sharing service, who lives in Yonkers, N.Y., says he would not be alive today if not for former Kansas University basketball player Brannen Greene. “He is my hero. He saved my life. When I speak to him I will say, ‘Thank you so much. I thank God and thank you,’’’ said Henry Moran, the Uber driver who, with Greene as a passenger in the back seat, had his vehicle rear-ended on May 21 at Major Deegan Expressway, Greene Bronx, N.Y., and 233rd St. Moran’s car was sent airborne onto a guardrail, back up in the air and down again, where it eventually burst into flames shortly after Greene and Moran exited the totaled car. “If he doesn’t help me I could not have made it out,” Moran added in a phone interview with the JournalWorld. “He (Greene) was screaming, ‘Get out. Get out! Cmon it’s on fire. It will be exploding.’ “I couldn’t get out. The doors were crushed,” Moran added. “He (Greene) was able to get out (after frantically removing his seat belt in a scene explained in a J-W story at the Web address http://bit.ly/1OHcVOt). “I got out because he helped me out from the back. After I got out, we were running together. I heard, ‘Boom, boom,’’’ Moran added of the car igniting in flames. Driver Moran, whose head and arms were bleeding, was taken to the hospital for observation. He had minor injuries. Greene, a 6-7 junior from Juliette, Ga., who left KU for New York after the 2015-16 season ended to train for the June 23 NBA Draft, received a ride from a police officer back to his condo in White Plains, N.Y. It wasn’t until the next day Greene went to the hospital and, like Moran, was deemed free of any broken bones. “When you are in an accident, you do not know what is going on,” Moran said, explaining he was disoriented and unable to force open the front seat doors to exit the vehicle. “It is not like a movie where the people find a way to get out. You close your mind. There was nowhere to run. Nowhere to go. I did not have a stone in my car to break through in case I got in an accident. I did not think that way.” He absolutely was in no

Henderson impressed by Kansas head coach

Richard Gwin/Journal-World File Photo

THEN-KANSAS UNIVERSITY ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH PAT HENDERSON works with freshmen during preseason practice in 2002. Henderson is now interim director of KU’s Williams Educational Fund.

Late October, 1999, defensive coordinator Pat Henderson took over for fired Dave Rader as interim head football coach at the University of Tulsa and charmed the media with straight talk spiced with humor. At his introductory news conference, Henderson joked that he was going to install a wishbone offense and also opened a window into his background, saying, “I grew up poor and probably would have been a little street bum if I wouldn’t have had athletics.” Seventeen years later, Henderson has an interim in front of his title, this time followed by “director of the Williams Educational Fund,” for which he has worked since leaving Mark Mangino’s staff after the 2004 season.

Royals rally again, subdue White Sox

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — When Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale left with a two-run lead after seven innings, Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer had a message in the Royals dugout. “This is when the magic happens,” Hosmer yelled to his teammates. It did. Again. Cheslor Cuthbert drove in the go-ahead run with an infield hit in a three-run eighth, and the Royals rallied for the third straight game in a 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Chicago wasted a 4-2 lead in the eighth after failing to Please see GREENE, page 3C protect a 5-2 seventh-inning

advantage on Friday and a 7-1 ninth-inning margin on Saturday. It is the first time the Royals have won three straight games when trailing by two runs or more entering the seventh inning. White Sox relievers allowed 14 runs, 15 hits and eight walks over 6 1/3 innings in the three-game series, and Chicago has lost 14 of its last 18 games after a 23-10 start. “If that’s our worries right now, is our bullpen, I think we’re in a great spot,” Sale said. “They’ve got a good offense. It’s going to happen. You can’t expect everybody to be perfect every time. I like our chances of those

guys getting it together, no doubt. Kansas City has won 12 of 17 to move into the AL Central lead. Sale was on track to become the major leagues’ first 10-game winner. Lorenzo Cain homered with one out in the eighth off Nate Jones (2-1), Hosmer doubled, and Kansas City loaded the bases with Kendrys Morales’ walk and Paulo Orlando’s single. “I just feel bad for Sale,” Orlin Wagner/Journal-World Photo Jones said. “He worked his tail off for seven innings and KANSAS CITY’S ERIC HOSMER, LEFT, greets the offense did their job.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS

AL WEST

By Tim Dahlberg

Las Vegas — Adam Silver gets it, and he’s going to keep repeating it until people finally listen. Forget the conspiracy theories about No. 1 picks and why Draymond Green gets to play after a couple well placed kicks. I’ll give Silver a pass on that, though his plan to put ads on uniforms crosses a line of no return. But when it comes to sports betting, the NBA commissioner is one of the most enlightened people in professional sports. That was evident again this week when Silver repeated his call to legalize sports betting throughout the country. It was a powerful statement, and it wasn’t the first time Silver has weighed in on the issue. He stripped away the phobia, avoided hyperbole and simply stated what most Americans now agree with anyway. “It should be legal, it should be regulated, it should be transparent,” Silver said in an ESPN interview. Hopefully Roger Goodell was watching, though that might have been difficult. The NFL commissioner has had his head buried in the sand for so long on the betting issue that he doesn’t see anything about the topic very well. Still, some of his owners might be softening their positions. Faced with prospect of the Raiders moving to Las Vegas they’ve suddenly had to begin addressing gambling. What they’re finding — despite all the hysteria over the years about the possibility of fixed games and shady gamblers — is that it doesn’t look bad at all. “We’re just living in a different world, technology-wise,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft told USA Today. “The risks in Vegas are no longer exclusive to Vegas.” This isn’t 1948, when a player making $100 a game might try to get more by passing off inside info to a bookie. The rise in the popularity of sports betting and technological advancements have changed the way these things operate. Games barely budge off the original numbers set by the oddsmakers in Las Vegas. When they do, it’s because Tom Brady got suspended or some other event occurs after the line is set. If they do ever move for unknown reasons, both the bookies and the bettors in Vegas would recognize it immediately and just as quickly find out why. “You can’t get any more transparent than we are,” said Jimmy Vaccaro, oddsmaker at the South Point sports book. “There’s nothing we can hide, nothing we can’t find. It’s all above the board.” Vaccaro, who grew up placing bets in a pool hall outside Pittsburgh, has been running sports books in Las Vegas for 40 years. He’s seen the evolution of an industry once run by nefarious characters in smokefilled back rooms to one operated by public corporations who won’t risk billions on illegal activity. What is clear is that the social stigma is gone from gambling in general, largely because of the proliferation of casinos and lotteries throughout the country. Casual betting is now accepted by most people — including the commissioner of the NBA — as an entertainment activity that not only does no harm to the sport but actually increases its popularity. Yes, Adam Silver gets it. And it’s time leaders of the other major sports do the same.

Rossi takes Indy 500 Indianapolis (ap) — An American took the Andretti family to victory lane in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500. It just wasn’t the driver anyone expected. Alexander Rossi was the surprising winner of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” when he stretched his fuel to the finish Sunday to pull off an upset victory. He ran out of gas after taking the checkered flag. “I have no idea how we pulled that off,” Rossi said. “It’s an amazing result for Andretti Autosport.” Rossi is an IndyCar rookie from California racing back in the United States after failing to put together a steady ride in Formula One. He is the ninth rookie to win the 500 and the first since Helio Castroneves in 2001. “I’ll cherish the fact that at one point we were 33rd,” Rossi said. “We rolled the dice and came through and made it happen. This is unbelievable. I have no doubt it’s going to change my life.” Although he’s a relief driver for Manor Racing in F1, Rossi came back to America this year to drive for Bryan Herta in a partnership with Andretti Autosport. Herta was the winning

car owner in 2011 with Dan Wheldon. This Herta effort this year relied heavily on its alliance with Andretti, and the family was hoping Marco Andretti would give them their first Indy 500 title since patriarch Mario Andretti won in 1969. Instead, Marco Andretti never contended on a day his four teammates were clearly among the best in the field. Ryan Hunter-Reay and Townsend Bell combined to lead 64 of the first 119 laps, but the Americans were knocked from contention when Bell clipped Helio Castroneves as he left pit road. The contact caused Bell to crash into Hunter-Reay. Still, Rossi wasn’t exactly a factor in this race. As the laps wound down, it clearly became a fuel mileage race and American Josef Newgarden and Andretti driver Carlos Munoz both swapped the lead repeatedly. But both had to stop for gas, and Rossi moved into the lead. It was all his from there as he easily coasted to the finish line. The win allowed team owner Michael Andretti to celebrate in the 100th running of a race that has tormented his family. Andretti earlier this month was voted by the 27 living winners

as the best driver never to win the race, but he has now won the 500 four times as a car owner. “To get a 1-2 finish in the 100th running of the Indy 500 is pretty good,” Andretti said. “I’m just so happy for everyone on the team. We are just so happy.” Munoz finished second to give Andretti a 1-2 finish and Honda its first win of the year. The Colombian appeared devastated after the race. “For half a lap short of fuel ... ,” he said. “I will win the 500 one day.” Newgarden finished third and was followed by Tony Kanaan, Charlie Kimball and JR Hildebrand as Chevrolet drivers took spots three through six. James Hinchcliffe, the polesitter who missed this race last year after a near-fatal accident in a practice session, faded to seventh despite being one of the best cars in the field. In front of the first sellout in Indy 500 history, Rossi stunned the more than 350,000 fans in attendance. He’d been in Monaco this time last year, unsure of what his future held. “I had no idea I’d be in IndyCar, I had no idea I’d be in the Indy 500,” Rossi said.

Fort Worth, Texas — Jordan Spieth birdied his final three holes, chipping in from behind the 17th green and closing with a 34-foot putt, and shot a 5-under 65 on Sunday to win at Colonial for his first home-state victory. It was the eighth career win for Spieth, the world’s No. 2-ranked player, and came in his third tournament since blowing a five-stroke lead on the back nine last month when trying to win the Masters for the second year in a row. At 17-under 263, Spieth finished three strokes ahead of Harris English at the Dean & Deluca Invitational. Colonial member Ryan Palmer and Webb Simpson tied for third.

Concord, N.C. — Martin Truex Jr. led a Sprint Cup-record 588 of 600 miles to win the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, racing away from his bad-luck past at NASCAR’s longest race. Truex started from the pole, moved quickly out front and led all but eight of 400 laps for his first win in 34 events since June 2015 at Pocono Raceway. Truex ran strong enough the past year to grab a bunch more checkered flags, but something always went awry. He led 141 laps at Texas, yet got strung up by poor pit strategy and finished sixth. In Kansas this month, he was out front for 172 laps until a loose wheel knocked him back to 14th. Kevin Harvick was second, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch. Truex bettered Jim Paschal’s mark of leading 335 laps to win at Charlotte in 1967.

Henderson, 64, brings passion to the job in part because of his humble background. “I wouldn’t have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship,” Henderson said from behind his desk. “I was the first in my family to graduHenderson ate from college. Since then, everybody, cousins, children, everybody has graduated from college.” During decades as an assistant coach at Kansas and several other stops, he has seen stories similar to his play out all over the country. “The generosity of somebody else allowed that to happen,” he said of getting a college degree. “A lot of the kids we get on athletic scholarships, it affects not just that one person, it affects generations of that family, sometimes even communities: ‘He got out of here, so I can escape too.’ It may not even be because of athletics, but just, ‘He can go to college, so can I.’” Henderson takes over until a permanent replacement is found for Banks Floodman, who left to pursue a career in commercial real estate. Beyond funding scholarships, the Williams Fund must generate donations in order for the athletic department to keep up with the Joneses and Pickenses, etc., on the facilities front. The current WEF challenge involves coming up with up to $2.5 million for a football locker room renovation that will leave a serious impression on recruits. Henderson recently toured this state and others with second-year head football coach David Beaty and was impressed with his energy and the way he explained to alumni the challenge that lays ahead and how jazzing up the locker room will translate to better athletes using it. Asked to rank how Beaty performs in the aspect of his job that relates to the Williams Fund, Henderson didn’t hold back. “First of all, frankly, the bar was pretty low,” Henderson said, a refer-

condition to escape the car without Greene’s assistance. “Most people, they would get out and run to save themselves,” Moran said. “He stayed. I got out because he helped me. If he had done nothing (after impact), we both would be meeting God together.” Moran is convinced Greene will have multiple blessings returned in the future. “God will help people like him to do whatever he wants (in life),” said Moran, who hails from Dominican Republic and speaks broken English. “People who help people … they will be helped as well.” Accounts of this car accident were reported a week ago in the Journal-World on May 22. Greene’s dad, Jeffrey, who relayed news of the incident to the J-W, did not mention Brannen’s role in helping Moran ostensibly because he was unsure of specifics and didn’t want to appear to be seeking publicity for his son, whose intent in

ence to Charlie Weis never feigning interest in schmoozing alumni. “The reality is I can’t imagine us having a better one. I’ve been fortunate to be in a lot of really good football programs and a lot of rebuilding jobs. Coach Beaty’s the best I’ve been around, by far, as far as donor relations.” The natural first instinct for most is to wonder why Kansas needs an improved locker room in the Anderson Family Football Complex, which opened in 2008. Listening to Beaty talk to alumni helped Henderson fully appreciate the importance of the project. “He talked about this generation and what goes through their mind and how they make decisions on what they see and how it makes them feel,” Henderson said. “That’s why you’ll see them taking jobs where there is a cafeteria and you can wear jeans and they can ride a skateboard in the office for less money because that’s what turns this generation on. “And as Dave says, one thing is clear: You either have to figure out what they want and try to get it for them or play against them. And obviously it’s a lot better to figure out what attracts them and what makes them tick. And frankly, a lot of that’s bling. A lot of that’s the wow factor.” Having coached football in parts of four decades, Henderson can read signs of progress from a down-trodden program long before the scoreboard reflects them. Naturally, it’s his job to believe in Beaty, but I know Henderson well enough to know that he genuinely believes Beaty was the right hire. Time, if Beaty is given enough of it, will determine whether Henderson is right, but I don’t doubt the sincerity of his opinion for a second. The old coach in Henderson makes him wander out to the practice fields now and then. “From the first time I went to practice and every time since, I’ve been impressed with the enthusiasm with which they approach practice,” Henderson said. “You don’t see any coaches watching practice. They’re coaching hard all the time. They’re vocal. They’re enthusiastic. They’re constantly coaching the players, constantly trying to make them better.” Losing can turn the weak into losers. An 0-12

saving Moran was not to receive positive press clippings. “Most people save a guy in a car and tell the news about it. The only reason you know about this is because I told you about it,” Moran told the J-W. “He did not want (praise) for this. People (fans) who love him … they will love him more now.” The police report of the incident has not yet been e-mailed to the J-W or the Greene family. Brannen, who has worked out for several NBA teams since the accident, does not wish to comment as he focuses on the draft. The J-W has confirmed that Moran was the driver of the vehicle via correspondence between the parties and Uber involving this case. Needless to say, Jeff Greene is proud of his son. “To hear that from Henry Moran, somebody I’ve never met, wouldn’t know if I saw him … that doesn’t surprise me about Brannen, not at all. That’s him. That’s his heart,” Jeffrey said. “He’s always put others before himself. I’ll tell you this little story that would encapsulate that for you. When Brannen was 12,

headed to eighth grade we were off to play in a tournament in south Georgia with his school team. Brannen wanted the latest Jordans (shoes) that had come out a week before to wear in that tournament. I thought, ‘Well OK. I’ll go buy them.’ They were $120, $130. “In the game there was a kid who was getting picked on about the shoes he was wearing. They were past worn out. Brannen came out of the locker room after the game. I asked him, ‘Where are your shoes?’ He didn’t have them. He said, ‘There’s a kid on the other team who was getting laughed at by the fans, so I gave them to him. He wore my size.’” To Henry Moran … he will always have a fond spot in his heart for KU’s Greene. “To me when I saw him in my car, in the back seat, he looked like my son, who plays baseball at Keystone College (Steven, pitcher),” Henry Moran said. “I am a normal person with a family,” he added, noting he has a wife and five children. “He is athletic like my son. I am proud of my son. If I talk to him (Brannen) I will tell him he is like my son.”

Castro’s homer propels Yankees The Associated Press

American League Yankees 2, Rays 1 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Starlin Castro’s tworun homer off Jake Odorizzi in the seventh inning was the Yankees’ only hit of the game, and it was enough to give New York a victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Nathan Eovaldi (6-2) gave up one run and six hits in six innings to win his career-best fifth consecutive start.
