A study recently commissioned by Haskell Indian Nations University aims to assign a dollar figure to the school’s contribution to Lawrence and the area. Haskell’s annual economic impact amounts to a total of $23.1 million in gross regional product, according to an analysis of the university’s economic impact and return on investment of education, completed in December and shared this month at Haskell’s spring board of regents meeting. “Haskell creates value from multiple perspectives,” authors of the study concluded. “The university serves a range of industries in Douglas County, supports local businesses, and benefits society nationwide from an expanded economy and improved quality of life.” Haskell is a federal uni- Chenault versity, operated by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education, and must adhere to federal protocols for many of its operations. Haskell officials and regents in the past year have stated goals including growing partnerships with the local community, finding nonfederal revenue streams such as private donors and doing more business with local contractors. “All of our major services have to be contracted through a pretty rigorous and time-consuming process,” Haskell President Venida Chenault said. “As a result of that, a lot of our current contracts aren’t being bid out to the local Lawrence community, which we would like to change, and the state, which we would like to change.” Chenault said it’s hoped that the new

In his remarks, Post Commander Alan Van Loenen noted this year marks the 150th anniversary of the first observance of Memorial Day and stressed the importance of remembering the holiday’s roots. “Each passing year the original purpose of Memorial Day fades in the public eye,” he said. Waterloo, N.Y., is generally credited with having the first organized, communitywide effort to decorate graves of soldiers in May 1866. The tradition evolved into the more widely celebrated Decoration Day and, eventually, Memorial Day. The holiday was initially established to honor specifically wartime loss of men and women in uniform, Van Loenen said, a day for Americans to share in a collective form of grief. The government later changed the date from May 30 to the final Monday in May to create a three-day weekend, and many people now use the holiday to honor all deceased loved ones,

ABOVE: Bell-ringer Mike Devlin taps a bell two times in recognition of the branches of the military service and for those veterans who have died in the previous year.

Van Loenen said. While that’s a noble sentiment, he said, it’s important not to forget the original meaning of Decoration Day, which was meant for the men and women who died while defending our country. “In many ways this is one of the most important holidays on the nation’s calendar,” he said. “Some gave the ultimate sacrifice, some are still missing in action, and some have never been buried.”

Marianne Middleton, of the American Legion Auxiliary, said she gets calls and is keenly aware of the importance of supporting survivors of veterans killed in action, who often have been young. “It’s critical that we remember the service the deceased have given and their families,” Middleton said. “It’s important to remember the families, too. They need help.” Estelle, who served in the Marines during the

Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, said that in addition to honoring fellow service members who did not make it home, he — like many Americans — takes Memorial Day to spend time with living relatives in Lawrence and visit the graves of others. Estelle’s parents, his brother and his daughter, who died when she was 3, are all buried in Lawrence, he said. Each year, he places flowers on their graves. Monday’s American Legion ceremony at Oak Hill Cemetery featured a bagpipe and drum trio performing “Amazing Grace,” a rifle salute, a

memorial bell-ringing and the playing of taps. It was just one of the ceremonies planned in the county. The Lawrence VFW Alford-Clarke Post 852 — which also helped with the placement of flags on veterans’ graves throughout the city — scheduled a ceremony at its post on Massachusetts Street. Baldwin City American Legion Lloyd Benton Post 228 also planed its annual Memorial Day observance at Oakwood Cemetery in Baldwin City. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

have studied and written about Kansas politics and elections: Patrick Miller at Kansas University; Michael Smith at Emporia State University; and Joe Romance at Fort Hays State University. “The driving issue is Brownback,” Miller said. “Democrats are trying to tie him to incumbent Republicans. But obviously that depends race-byrace how that gets framed by candidates.” “Brownback’s unpopularity is going to be big,” Smith said. “Education funding is going to be huge, and we haven’t heard the last from the courts on that.” Romance agreed that Brownback’s low approval ratings — measured at just 26 percent by a recent Morning Consult poll — will be a negative for some Republicans further down the ballot. But he said Brownback is still more popular in western Kansas than in other parts of the state. “This is western Kansas,” he said. “Of course, all of Kansas is conservative, but he’s in stronger shape out here.”

The Trump and Clinton factors Miller is the author of a spreadsheet analysis, widely quoted in Kansas news media, showing how Democratic gubernatorial candidate Paul Davis fared in each House and Senate district in the 2014 race, as well as how President Barack Obama performed in the 2008 and 2012 presidential races. From that, he has identified about two dozen House districts and eight Senate districts that he sees as vulnerable because they are currently held by conservative Republicans allied in varying degrees with Brownback, but where voters supported Davis, and in some cases Obama as well. Many of those are located in Johnson County and other parts of northeast Kansas. And that’s where having Trump at the top of the GOP ticket could be

Party affiliation deadline approaching Kansas election officials are reminding registered voters that they have until noon Wednesday to declare or change their party affiliation in time for the upcoming Aug. 2 primary election. The new law affects voters who are already registered and affiliated with a major party but want to vote in the other party’s primary. Those registered as unaffiliated may vote in either party’s primary, if they fill out a new registration form at

the polls declaring themselves as being affiliated with that party. New voters, or those who are not currently registered in Kansas, have until July 12 to register in time for the primary. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew says registered voters can change their party affiliation online, either through the Kansas Department of Revenue website, https:// www.kdor.org/voterregistration, or through the

bad news for Republicans, Miller said, because even among Republican voters, Trump polls poorly among highly educated, upper-income suburban voters. “Johnson County really epitomizes that kind of voter,” he said. “Johnson County, Sedgwick County, maybe Shawnee and Leavenworth counties, in those areas, if nothing changes, you might see a bit of a Trump drag. If you go out to western Kansas, you probably won’t see much of a Trump effect among the more rural, conservative voters.” “If I’m someone like (Rep.) James Todd (ROverland Park) or (Rep.) Amanda Grosserode (RLenexa), I’d be worried,” he said. Smith at Emporia State agreed that Johnson County will be a battleground, but he said the presidential race will likely play out differently in various parts of the county. Although the county as a whole is traditionally seen as a Republican stronghold, the newer communities south of I-435, including the Olathe and Blue Valley school districts, have been much more conservative than the older neighborhoods in the northern, Shawnee Mission School District areas. “I can easily see some of the older sections of northeast Johnson County turning out for Clinton,” he said. And that could cause trouble for Republican legislators from that area such as Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, a staunch social conservative. She’s being chal-

lenged this year by Democrat Vicki Hiatt, a retired Olathe school teacher who has been endorsed by key education, labor and environmental groups. “Mary Pilcher-Cook could be someone who’s vulnerable,” he said, because even Republicans who vote for Clinton in opposition to Trump might have trouble voting for a conservative like PilcherCook on the same ballot. “But that’s not a very Republican area,” he said. “In more Republican areas, whether it’s in Johnson County or elsewhere, Republican candidates would be smart to run against Hillary rather than with Donald Trump.” Romance at Fort Hays State agreed. “I don’t think Trump will have any trouble carrying western Kansas,” he said.

She lost the entire 1st Congressional District to Sanders in the Kansas Democratic caucuses in March by more than a 2-to-1 margin. In legislative races, though, Romance said he still sees Brownback as being the main issue for western Kansas voters, although he predicted the governor will be less of a drag on the ticket there than in other parts of the state.

CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS WALK WITH EUDORA PUBLIC LIBRARY librarians on a Book Walk on Friday. The community is making plans to replace its current library, seen in background at right, with a new one that would be built just north of the police station and municipal court, also visible in background at far left.

Eudora Public Library Board takes steps toward new building By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Carol Wohlford realized after a recent Friday that the Eudora Public Library could no longer host summer reading programs. By way of explanation, Wohlford displays pictures on her computer of youngsters covering every square inch of library floor space at a summer reading program. That wasn’t all. The Eudora library director said there wasn’t room for another 40 youngsters and programs had to be hastily scheduled.

It wasn’t an easy decision to move the popular activities to the Eudora Recreation Center because one of the big reasons behind summer reading programs is to instill in children the habit of going to libraries, Wohlford said. “We talked about that as a staff,” she said. “We hate to do it offsite, but at a crucial point parents will get frustrated if they can’t get their children into the library.” The summer reading programming crunch is just another indication Eudora has outgrown its 40-year-old, 2,500-square-foot library,

Wohlford said. That’s not a secret in Eudora, and has been discussed for about a decade, but the recent growth in the library’s popularity has made progress on that project more urgent, she said. With the need for a new facility acknowledged, the board has started putting preliminary pieces in place. In 2011, it purchased the parking lot across Ninth Street, to the south, from the Eudora school district as the site of the new library and had an architect draw up plans for the 12,000-square-foot Please see LIBRARY, page 4A

While ensuring all high school students in the Lawrence district have a way to do their online classwork remains on the horizon, a first step has been taken. A recently formed task force has narrowed the options down to two devices, and a pilot program will begin once students return to school. “Once the devices are in students’ hands, it really becomes a learning tool as well as a teaching tool,” said Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of educational programs and technology for the district. Both Lawrence high schools have a digital device task force made up of school administrators, teachers and staff, which met for the first time last week. Task force members have selected two devices to be piloted next school year: iPads and MacBooks. Beginning next school year, Kemble said teachers at both high schools will have nine weeks to pilot each device with their students. Those selections include about a dozen teachers at each school and were made very purposefully, she said. “We have teachers in var-

Once the pilot is complete, the district will gather feedback from teachers and students on which device is preferred. ious subject areas, so that every area is represented in one school or the other,” she said. Once the pilot is complete, the district will gather feedback from teachers and students on which device is preferred. In March, a rare mixed vote by the school board decided that iPads instead of laptops would be bought for all middle school students. Kemble said the district plans to consult with students as well as outside institutions to create a means of comparing the two devices at the high school level. “We will create a rubric as to what is important as we make that selection, so that teachers can use that to guide the decision,” Kemble said. Making sure high school students have a device — either a tablet or a laptop — and Internet access to the material needed to do their classwork gained urgency Please see STUDENTS, page 4A

Ecumenical Campus Ministries regains tax-exempt status after falling behind with IRS By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

After operating roughly a year without its tax-exempt status, Ecumenical Campus Ministries has regained its 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS, leaders say. “We feel like we’re back in business,” said Loring Henderson, chairman of the ECM’s board of directors. “We were

already doing activities and programs and keeping things running. Some people were continuing to support us when the tax- Henderson exempt status had lapsed. But now we’re more able to ask for donations

and support.” In March 2015, the ECM was notified it had lost its taxexempt status. Henderson said the organization had failed to submit returns and pay taxes on time. No money was missing or foul play involved, he said, “we just got behind.” The ECM paid all the taxes owed — with the exception of a small amount for which there’s

now a scheduled repayment plan approved by the IRS — and reapplied for tax-exempt status, Henderson said. He said as part of the plan with the IRS, the ECM has hired an outside bookkeeping service. Paperwork was submitted in February, and the IRS notified the ECM in April that its taxexempt status was approved, Henderson said. The recognition was retroac-

tive, so donations to the ECM during the lapse are now taxexempt, he said. The ECM has been working to contact individuals to let them know. Henderson said regaining tax-exempt status is hoped to help the ECM move closer to its goal of hiring a new minister, because there currently isn’t enough money to do so Please see ECM, page 4A

Harassment charge possible, if New Zealand blogger comes to U.S. By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A Lawrence man accused of sexually harassing an overseas blogger may face criminal charges, but only if the foreign victim agrees to come to the United States, largely on her own dime.

Rachel Gronback, 31, who lives in New Zealand and writes about “fashion, online shopping and body positivity” said inappropriate messages began flowing into her Instagram account late last November. In her blog, Gronback wrote that the off-color messages

continued coming in for several weeks. She was, however, able to identify the sender as a student at Lawrence’s Veritas Christian School. The suspect is not a minor, police said. In January, Gronback said she alerted the school’s administration to the issue and filed

County leaders to consider making Students recycling program permanent CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission on Wednesday will consider a request to make permanent a pilot recycling program that was introduced last fall. Commissioners agreed last September to partner with Honey Creek Disposal to spot recycling containers at four locations: the Prairie Moon Waldorf School in Grant Township, Stull United Methodist Church, the Vinland Fairgrounds and Wakarusa Valley School. In a report to commissioners, County Sustainability Coordinator Eileen Horn writes that 56 tons of recyclable materials worth $4,725

were collected at the sites during the containers’ first six months of use of October through March. The Vinland and Wakarusa sites have been especially popular, often filling two or three times a week. With that use rate, it is projected the program’s annual cost will be $56,000, or twice the amount estimated. Horn said that after discussions with Honey Creek to contain those costs, it is recommended the county double the number of bins at Prairie Moon and Stull from two to four and at Wakarusa and Vinland from four to eight. The move would reduce the number of collection

trips Honey Creek would make to each of the recycling locations at $175 per trip. Horn’s recommendation was for the county to purchase the added bins at a cost of $14,000, which would reduce the annual operating cost to $36,600. In other business, the County Commission will consider: l Awarding contracts totaling $93,284 to Treanor Architects, Mission Electronics, Mission Electronics and Oliver Electric and The Wilson Group to develop cost estimates for renovations to the courtrooms in the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center to be

done this year. l A request for bids concerning the replacement for a bridge dating to 1921 on East 900 Road just less than a half-mile south of Route 458. The Kansas Department of Transportation will reimburse the county for about half of the bridge replacement’s estimated cost of $240,000. The county plans an August construction start. The Douglas County Commission meets weekly at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. For a complete agenda, visit douglascountyks.org. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ljworld.com.

Two motorcyclists hurt in accident on K-32 By Staff Report

A weekend crash near Lawrence seriously injured two motorcyclists. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle carrying two riders collided with a car shortly before noon Sunday on Kansas Highway 32 in Leavenworth Coun-

ty, about 6 miles east of Lawrence, according to a preliminary report from the Kansas Highway Patrol. The car was turning left into a private driveway when the motorcycle tried to pass it, striking the car, according to the report. Both riders were

thrown from the motorcycle, and neither was wearing a helmet, the report stated. The motorcycle driver, Jeffrey Schiller, 50, and passenger, Kirsten Schiller, 35, both of Kansas City, Kan., were taken to Kansas University Hospital with serious injuries,

according to the patrol’s report. An update on their conditions was not available Monday afternoon from the hospital. The driver of the car, a 56-year-old Topeka man, was not injured, according to the Highway Patrol.

when some subjects moved to online content. Currently, more than 75 percent of high school students use a digital textbook for at least one subject. Expansion of digital curriculum left some students relying on their smartphones and limited data plans because they lacked adequate devices or Internet access at home. After teachers raised concerns about inequity, a pilot device checkout program began in September at both high schools. Currently, the program includes 35 laptops and 10 Wi-Fi hotspots available for checkout at each school. Since the checkout program’s inception, both schools have maintained waiting lists. Kemble said the district will expand the library checkout programs next school year to address access concerns. The results of a district survey to determine how many middle and high school students have access to computer and Internet at home are expected in coming weeks, and will be used to determine how many devices will be added, she said. “Those results are

Police ID suspect in 1989 killing Kansas City, Kan. — Kansas City, Kan., investigators say they have identified a potential suspect in the 26-year-old unsolved murder of a 19-year-old woman they believe is linked to an unresolved Missouri slaying five years later. The Kansas City Star reports that detectives perhaps have a link between the 1989 killing of Sarah Jo DeLeon, the unsolved 1994 slaying of Diana Marie Ault in Independence, Mo., and an abduction in 1987. Investigators aren’t saying why they believe the deaths of DeLeon and Ault are connected. But Detective Scott Howard said the investigation has revealed that the suspect and an accomplice have been involved in other incidents involving the harassment and intimidation of romantic rivals. Another detective, Mike Warczakoski, said he hopes to present the case in coming weeks to Wyandotte County prosecutors. “We’re coming to a conclusion,” Howard said. “We can see an end.”

Britt Crum-Cano, economic development director for the city of Lawrence, said the city does depend financially on its institutions of higher education, such as Kansas University and Haskell. “If you look at how many people they employ and the percentage of the population that they make up, those have to have some impacts,” she said. “They bring in a lot of students to add to our population, so it’s just common sense those students are going to be spending and bringing dollars into the community.”

economic analysis will help show that Haskell makes a significant financial impact on Lawrence and Douglas County and that “the investment in Haskell is a wise investment.” Results of the analysis are based on student and financial data for fiscal year 2013-14, according to the study. It was completed by Economic Modeling Specialists International, an economic data company affiliated with CareerBuilder. The study analyzed the economic impact of operations spending, student spending and alumni. Key findings, from the cited year, that led to the calculation of $23.1 million in gross regional product contribution: l Haskell employed 149 full- and part-time faculty and staff, 83 percent of whom lived in Douglas County. The university’s total payroll was $12.3 million, much of which was spent in the county on living expenses.

$12.3 million to cover its expenses for facilities, professional services and supplies. l About 88 percent of Haskell students came from outside the county. While attending the university, relocated students spend $7.2 million on groceries, rent, transportation and other living expenses. l Thousands of Haskell alumni are employed in Douglas County, contributing to increased output of the businesses employing them and spending money at other businesses. The study also offered an analysis of return on investment to students, taxpayers and society. In return for their investment to attend Haskell, students — 931 for-credit students were served in the cited year — will receive a stream of higher future wages that will continue to grow, leading to an average rate of return for students of 19.1 percent, according to the study. Benefits to taxpayers consist primarily of taxes the government will collect from added income

was hired as campus minister on a part-time basis because of financial constraints, according to ECM newsletters, but Henderson said he has since left for another job. The ECM does have a permanent director, Kim Brook, who was hired last year. Henderson, a board member who became board chairman in January, was serving as interim director in early 2015.

The ECM, at 1204 Oread Ave., is located across the street from the Kansas University campus and serves the KU community. While not an official KU entity, ECM is a registered community organization through KU’s Student Involvement and Leadership Center. Offerings include a weekly Veggie Lunch, a Solidarity Library home

to progressive literature and films, and other discussion forums and fellowship activities focused on the ECM’s mission of engendering “love and understanding that results in compassion, justice and interdependence.”

be used for some programming, she said. The board’s intention is to raise $1 million of the $3 million needed to construct a new library through a capital campaign, Wohlford said. The next big step is to hire a firm to do a feasibility study to research whether that could be done, she said. Firms will be interviewed for the study June 14, 15 and 16. The intent is also to pursue every possible grant and public financing mechanism, such as tax credits, that could also provide funding, Wohlford said.

The drive won’t be a new experience for Wohlford. She guided a similar effort in Andover, where a library was built of the size proposed for Eudora. “It was almost the exact replica of what we have here,” she said. “It was the same size community and same sized building. The timeline in Andover was once we did the feasibility study, about a year-and-ahalf later we had the building up.” The library board would crank up publicity after the capital campaign raised half the $1 million target from large

contributors, Wohlford said. It’s not anticipated a capital drive and other sources would provide all the money needed, that there would still be a need to seek a bond issue or borrow money for the new library, Wohlford said. The Eudora Community Library is one of the rare township libraries remaining in Kansas. Any bond issue requiring mill levy support would require a referendum of Eudora Township voters, she said.

device against the suspect. The charge — which refers to electronically sending lewd, lascivious or indecent comments, suggestions, proposals or images — is a misdemeanor. If the charge is filed and the suspect is found guilty, he could face up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500. “We are prepared to proceed with filing of a criminal charge in this case,” Branson wrote to Gronback. “However, the filing of charges may necessitate your appearance in our court in Lawrence, Kansas, for that trial. Before we proceed with filing of the case we need to have assurances that you would be able to appear in court when trial is scheduled if some other resolution is not made in the case.” Cheryl Wright-Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County district attorney, noted in an email that the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that those accused of a crime have the right to face their accusers. Branson told Gronback it is not certain the case would go to trial if charges were filed; the matter could potentially be settled through a plea deal or a diversion process. But if the suspect were to ask for a trial, the office

This school year, digital texts were rolled out for three additional subjects: high school algebra and advanced placement U.S. history, as well as elementary language arts. After those additions, more than 90 percent of students districtwide — or about 10,000 students — have one or more subjects that rely on a digital textbook. A device recommendation for the high school level will be brought to the school board in January and the board is expected to make its final decision in February, Kemble said. Once devices are purchased, they will be distributed to every high school student at the beginning of the 20172018 school year. “We’re excited to see how students can personalize their own education with having a device in the hands of every student,” Kemble said. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

could not ethically file charges unless Gronback committed to appear in court, he said. When Gronback asked Branson about the possibility of testifying by video link, he said that would only be permissible if the defense agreed to allow video testimony. “Unfortunately, for strategy purposes I would not expect a defense attorney to agree to allow you to testify by video,” he said. In discussing her financial options with regard to international travel, Branson said the District Attorney’s Office has a limited budget to help with expenses and there have only been a few times — for high-level felony cases — when international travel was necessary. Out-of-state travel reimbursement is generally reserved for felony cases, Branson said, while in-state travel reimbursement is available for misdemeanor cases. “Because this is a misdemeanor case, we would offer (Gronback) travel to and from the airport and hotel accommodations for her time here,” he said. So far Gronback has not told the Branson’s office whether she is willing or able to make the trip, and no charges have been filed against the suspect. — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

School choices Local school districts across Kansas are being forced to make decisions that are a step backward for their students.

ight state funding is prompting some Kansas school districts to make tough choices — choices that, in some cases, they believe are not in the best interests of their students. Last week, teachers in the Wichita school district approved a calendar for next year that adds 30 minutes to each school day but shortens the school year by 15 days. The move has nothing to do with improving education; it’s all about trying to trim $3 million from next year’s budget. “Everyone agrees this is not what is best for kids,” said Steve Wentz, president of the Wichita teachers union. “Three weeks less of student contact is not what the students in (USD) 259 need.” Nonetheless, the Wichita school board is expected to ratify the teachers’ decision. Faced with a $23 million increase in expenses and no increase in state funding, board members see this as their best option — preferable to other steps such as eliminating elementary and middle school librarian positions, eliminating high school data leaders and outsourcing custodial management. Wichita isn’t the only Kansas district forced to make such unpleasant choices. The Caney Valley district in southeast Kansas went to a four-day week for the last five weeks of this school year in order to fill a $70,000 budget gap. A shorter year has not been part of the Lawrence school district’s budget discussions — at least so far. So, next year, Wichita students will go to school for 158 days instead of 173 days, as they did this year. The switch will save the district money by reducing transportation and utility costs and reducing the need for substitute teachers. But students likely will pay a price. Adding 30 minutes to each day isn’t the same as 15 more days of instruction. A shorter school year means a longer summer break, more time for students to forget what they learned last year. While education researchers are looking at year-round school models to improve retention levels and academic performance, districts in Kansas are going in the other direction. State school finance decisions have forced Kansas school districts to spend most of their time weighing unpleasant decisions instead of focusing on how best to serve the students in their charge.

A station on the north side of the river has been established and was opened this morning with H. S. Snediker in charge. The North Lawrence station will be used until the interurban company is able to complete its line and buildings on the south side. The building which is to be used by the Kaw Valley line as a waiting room for Lawrence patrons is located on Bridge and Locust streets in what has been known as the Caldwell building....

Turkish leader plays dangerous game How do you deal with “allies” who are stabbing you in the back on security issues even as they claim they are helping? Think Pakistan — which received bipartisan U.S. backing for decades even as it sheltered the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. Or Saudi Arabia, whose citizens and charities still fund jihadis. Or a Turkish government that is endangering U.S. and European security due to the political ambitions of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The blinders have finally come off with regard to the first two “frenemies.” When a U.S. drone strike killed the top Taliban leader on Pakistani soil last weekend, President Barack Obama was sending Pakistan’s leaders a message: Washington has lost patience with their support for the Taliban (not to mention Osama bin Laden). Meantime, Congress is now squeezing Riyadh to come clean on any Saudi officials who helped 9/11 hijackers. Now it’s time for a reality check on Turkey. When it comes to fighting the Islamic State, Erdogan has long been playing a double game. Once hailed as the model of a moderate Muslim democrat, the Turkish leader has become increasingly Islamist and antidemocratic. After initiating promising peace talks with Turkey’s Kurdish PKK rebels, he has restarted a bloody civil war with the Kurds for domestic political reasons. That battle not only undermines Turkish democracy but harms the fight against the Islamic

So it’s long past time for the White House and EU leaders to warn Erdogan that he is endangering Western security.” State as well. Having muzzled Turkish media, Erdogan is now seeking to crush all his domestic political opponents. Toward that end, he engineered a parliamentary vote last week that lifts immunity from dozens of parliamentary deputies who are facing criminal charges — mostly for speaking out against government repression. This move is mainly aimed at destroying Turkey’s third-largest political party, the Kurdish People’s Democratic Party, or HDP. Avowedly secular and pluralist, and headed by the charismatic Selahattin Demirtas, the HDP attracted many non-Kurds. Its growing strength had prevented Erdogan from obtaining sufficient parliamentary votes to change the Turkish constitution and transform a ceremonial presidency into an all-powerful post. “This is not just a matter of the Kurds, it is a matter of destroying democracy total-

ly,” says Mehmet Yuksel, the HDP spokesman in Washington. “Erdogan is trying to get absolute power.” The Turkish leader has played a clever international game, positioning himself as an essential NATO ally — which distracts attention from his domestic actions. Yet a closer look reveals that this alliance is undercut by Erdogan’s double dealing on the refugee issue — and on the fight against the Islamic State as well. First, the refugees. The European Union, desperate to block new waves of Syrian refugees, agreed to pay Erdogan billions of dollars and grant Turks visa waivers. In return, Turkey has agreed to take back large numbers of refugees from Greece and block new ones from crossing. However, Erdogan isn’t likely to meet the EU’s human-rights conditions for the visa waiver, which will probably doom the accord. Moreover, if the visa waiver does go through, Erdogan’s crackdown on Turkish Kurds is likely to drive tens of thousands of them to emigrate, legally, into Europe. Huge numbers of Kurdish civilians are being driven out of Turkey’s southeast by draconian military sweeps that reportedly include massacres — notably in the town of Cizre. In other words Erdogan’s game will cost Europe dearly. When it comes to U.S. security interests, Erdogan is also dissembling. While claiming to play a major anti-Islamic State role, Turkey long let foreign fighters cross its border into Syria

to join the jihadis. It also let Islamic State cadres cross back into Turkey for medical treatment or a break from the fighting. Due to this open-border policy, the jihadi group was also able to establish a network of supporters inside Turkey. At the same time, Ankara is interfering with U.S. strategy to roll back the Islamic State inside Syria. Since restarting the war with its own Kurds, Erdogan hotly opposes U.S. air support and training for Syrian Kurdish fighters who are the most effective force in fighting the Islamic State. The Turks have even shelled Syrian Kurdish troops and civilians. Fortunately, the Obama administration hasn’t let Turkish protests dissuade it from helping the Syrian Kurds. However, Erdogan’s obsession with crushing the Kurds — at home and in Syria — undercuts any coherent coalition strategy for defeating the Islamic State. It also thwarts any coalition effort to devise a workable strategy to end the Syrian civil war. So it’s long past time for the White House and EU leaders to warn Erdogan that he is endangering Western security. His policies have created so many external enemies for Turkey that he can’t afford a complete break with his NATO allies. That gives the allies leverage. Having signaled Pakistan and the Saudis that we’re on to their tricks, it’s time to do the same with Erdogan, and soon. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial-board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Early election polls predict little By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Democrats hoped this presidential election would be a cakewalk. In their eyes, the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, spent most of the spring alienating big chunks of the electorate, beginning with women. Meanwhile, the presumptive Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, has run a careful, well-funded, well-honed campaign. What could go wrong? And yet, in a spate of reputable surveys Trump has suddenly erased the advantage Clinton had held all year. The average of major polls compiled by the website RealClearPolitics shows the two candidates tied with 43 percent each. In at least three polls, Trump has even pulled ahead by a slim margin. That’s been enough to send some Democrats into a swivet. But they shouldn’t panic. First of all, polls in May don’t have much predictive value about an election that’s more than five months away. Four years ago, in May 2012, Mitt Romney was tied with President Barack Obama in the RealClearPolitics average, just as Trump and Clinton are tied today. In November, Romney lost by four percentage points. In May 2008, John McCain was only a little behind Obama, according to the same index. In November, McCain lost by seven percentage points. Or go all the way back to May 1980, when then-President Jimmy Carter held a forbidding 12-point lead over Republican challenger Ronald Reagan in one survey. In November, Reagan won by a wide margin There’s one big reason Trump is doing better than expected in the polls: Republican voters have rallied behind him faster than some analysts expected. Democrats, by contrast, are still divided between Clinton and Bernie Sanders. In the same poll, only about two-thirds of Sanders voters were willing to say they would vote for Clinton in November if she wins the nomination. Her support among Democrats has actually declined slightly, from 87 percent a month ago to 84 percent now, and so has her backing among independents. That depresses Clinton’s overall number and makes her look weak, but it’s probably only a temporary weakness. If history is any guide, almost all of those Sanders voters will move into Clinton’s column once she is actually the nominee, especially if Sanders keeps his promise to campaign for Clinton (or against Trump) in the fall. One more factor that should help Clinton: Obama has regained some of

his lost popularity. In recent polls, the president’s job approval has reached 51 percent, its highest level since his second inauguration in 2013. That means Obama would be an asset to the Democratic nominee in the fall. All that said, Clinton still faces serious challenges. After six years of political gridlock, many voters are yearning for change in Washington, and that should help Trump. In the NBC-Journal poll, 53 percent of voters said they would prefer a president who would bring major changes to Washington, “even if it is not possible to predict what the changes may be.” Only 43 percent said they’d prefer “a steady approach (with) fewer changes.” “She has become the candidate of the status quo, and that’s not a happy place to be,” Schneider said of Clinton. Clinton also has a problem with independent and moderate voters (two different but not always distinct categories). Several polls have shown her losing to Trump among independents. Among moderates, who ought to be a natural constituency for her, the NBCJournal poll found her running roughly

even with the Republican. “The more she pulls to the left because of pressure from Sanders, the less appealing she is for independents in the center,” said David Winston, a former advisor to Newt Gingrich. “She has to find a way to appeal to Sanders supporters and also build a majority coalition. That’s not an easy task.” Guy Cecil, who runs the biggest super PAC supporting Clinton, disagreed. “Obama lost independents in 2012, but he still won the election,” he noted. Finally, a problem both candidates face: They’re the least-popular candidates ever to win their parties’ nominations. Both are viewed unfavorably by a majority of voters — the first time that has happened in the history of modern polling. Democrats and Republicans alike appear driven this year by what political scientists call “negative partisanship.” They may not like their standard-bearer much, but they loathe the other side’s candidate with a passion. So far, both candidates appear to accept that glum sentence. Both Clinton and Trump are running as the lesser of two evils. The polls that show Trump’s support rising and Clinton’s slipping are neither mirages nor predictions. They’re snapshots of a moving target. It’s too early to panic. But it’s never too early to worry. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. His email address is doyle. mcmanus@latimes.com.

VA watchdog fumbles in ‘systemic’ failures Inspector general’s office rejected evidence, sat on report, Senate investigation finds Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

A Senate investigation of poor health care at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah, Wis., found systemic failures in a VA inspector general’s review of the facility that raise questions about the internal watchdog’s ability to ensure adequate health care for veterans WASHINGTON

nationwide. The probe by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee found the inspector general’s office, which is charged with independently investigating VA complaints, discounted key evidence and witness testimony, needlessly narrowed its inquiry and has no standard for determining wrongdoing. One of the biggest failures identified by Senate investigators

was the inspector general’s decision not to release its investigation report, which concluded two providers at the facility had AFP/GETTY IMAGES been prescribJohn Daigh ing alarming levels of narcotics. The facility’s chief of staff at the time was David Houlihan, a physician veterans had nicknamed “candy man” because he doled out so many pills. Releasing the report would

have forced VA officials to publicly address the issue and ensured follow-up by the inspector general to make sure the VA took action. Instead, the inspector general’s office briefed local VA officials and closed the case. A 35-year-old Marine Corps veteran, Jason Simcakoski, died five months later from “mixed drug toxicity” at Tomah days after Houlihan signed off on adding another opiate to the 14 drugs he was already prescribed. The 350-page Senate committee report obtained by USA TODAY chronicles instances where other agencies could have done

After news reports chronicled Simcakoski’s death last year, VA

FALLUJAH , IRAQ Iraqi military and militia forces rolled into this war-battered city Monday, capturing a police station and advancing the crucial campaign to drive Islamic State militants from one of their last major Iraqi strongholds. “Our forces are still fighting in three directions in Fallujah,” said Yahiya Rasul, spokesman of the Joint Operation Command. “The fight is intense.” Rasul said the push into the city was tentative as soldiers worked to

clear mines and traps. “We are tightening the siege on the militants and advancing carefully,” he said. The government views capturing the Sunni-dominated city 35 miles from the capital of Baghdad as key to stopping a spate of deadly terror attacks over the past few months. Suicide bombers blew themselves up in three districts in Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 24 people and injuring dozens. Lt. Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, commander of the offensive, said troops entered the city backed by air cover from the U.S.-led military coalition. The United States provides extensive support for Iraq’s military, including arms, surveillance, intelligence and advisers. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi said in a televised speech to

parliament that the “current phase” of the battle could be completed in two days. Iraqi forces initially surrounded Fallujah more than a week ago, cutting off the Islamic State from supplies and reinforcements after taking much of the region around the city’s center. Fallujah was the first city to fall to the militants when they swept across northern and western Iraq in 2014, bent on building a fundamentalist Sunni caliphate from a wide strip of Iraq and Syria. Islamic State fortunes waned recently, and Fallujah and Mosul are the only major Iraqi cities still under the militants’ control. Iraq’s government has been under political pressure from Sunni leaders to liberate Fallujah, where tens of thousands of people, many of them Sunnis, still live despite

years of fighting. Recently, there have been reports of civilians starving in the city, which has increasingly been cut off from the rest of the country. The Islamic State forced civilians caught in the city to serve as “human shields” in areas where the militants expected airstrikes, residents recently told USA TODAY. Abu Mohammed, 24, an optician in Erbil, says his aunt and her family are trapped in the city, with little to eat and no electricity or water. “Living conditions are so miserable,” Mohammed said. “People cannot go to markets, and when they do, the prices are increasing,” he said.

Ex-attorney general calls Snowden leaks ‘public service’ Although illegal, exposure of NSA actions provoked necessary debate, Holder says John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

Fugitive former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden damaged U.S. interests but also performed a public service when he leaked national security documents in 2013, former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder said Monday. In The Axe File podcast hosted by Democratic political operative

David Axelrod and distributed by CNN, Holder said Snowden’s exposure of global surveillance programs, some operated by the NSA, was “inappropriate and illegal.” Holder said some agents were put in jeopardy and relationships with other nations were strained. After Snowden’s revelations, federal courts ruled against the NSA’s mass collection of American phone records. Congress subsequently passed the USA Freedom Act, which limits the collection of such records.

“I think that he actually performed a public service by raising the debate that we engaged in and by the changes that we made.” Eric Holder, former U.S. attorney general

“We can certainly argue about the way in which Snowden did what he did, but I think that he actually performed a public service by raising the debate that we engaged in and by the changes that we made,” Holder said. Snowden, who fled to Hong Kong and now lives in Russia, faces two counts of Espionage Act violations and one count of theft. He has said he would return to face those charges if he believed he would get a fair trial and would be allowed to use a “public interest” defense. Holder, the first black U.S. attorney general, served from 2009 to 2015. He said Snowden should come back to face the conse-

quences of his actions. “Go to trial, try to cut a deal. I think there has to be a consequence for what he has done,” Holder said. “But I think ... a judge could take into account the usefulness of having had that national debate.” Snowden tweeted a hopeful response, noting the evolution of officials’ views of his actions: “2013: It’s treason! “2014: Maybe not, but it was reckless “2015: Still, technically it was unlawful “2016: It was a public service but “2017: ”

Problems ‘allowed to fester’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

officials conducted another investigation with very different results and ousted Houlihan, a nurse practitioner, and the medical center’s director. “In just three months, the VA investigated and substantiated a majority of the allegations that the VA OIG could not substantiate after several years,” the committee report says. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the committee, which holds a hearing on the findings in Tomah on Tuesday, told USA TODAY the failures were “systemic” and indicative of a troubling pattern.

“In just three months, the VA investigated and substantiated a majority of the allegations that the VA OIG could not substantiate.” Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee

“The reasons the problems were allowed to fester for so many years is because in the inspector general’s office, for whatever reason, for years, the inspector general lacked the independence and had lost the sense of what its true mission was, which is being the transparent watchdog of VA system,” he said. The conclusions echo other recent findings about the office tasked under federal law to be an independent watchdog exposing problems at the VA and making recommendations for improvement. The Office of Special Counsel, a federal agency that reviews whistle-blower reports of wrongdoing, issued blistering critiques in recent months of the office’s investigations in Illinois, Louisiana and Texas, which it said were incomplete and overly narrow. USA TODAY has reported that the VA inspector general failed to release the findings of 140 health care investigations and sat on the results of more than 70 wait-time probes for months. A new inspector general, Michael Missal, took over last month and promised comprehensive investigations, but lead investigators remain in place, including John Daigh, the physician who made the decision to keep the Tomah report secret.

Backlog on drug tests, research Federally funded institute ignores mandate, study says Jayne O’Donnell @jayneodonnell USA TODAY

An institute that pays researchers to compare medical treatments has spent only half of its more than $1.4 billion in available federal money on what is called comparative effectiveness research and has largely ignored prescription drugs, despite their role in driving up health care costs, according to a study released Tuesday by a Washington-based research group. The research into the comparative effectiveness of treatments and pharmaceuticals is meant to determine if lower-cost options provide the same benefit as more expensive procedures and drugs. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has paid for a higher percentage of comparative effectiveness research in the past two years, from 37% in 2014 to 58% now, according to the new study by the Center for American Progress, a Democratic-leaning research group. Since PCORI’s creation in the 2010 Affordable Care Act, it has now spent 51% on comparative effectiveness research, the study showed. The institute hasn’t focused on what the Affordable Care Act intended, says Topher Spiro, CAP’s vice president of health policy and a former Democratic Senate health committee aide who WASHINGTON

worked on the law. The study was led by Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist and former White House health policy adviser who also helped write the law. Research gaps “involve highcost treatments, such as certain drugs, medical devices, and surgical procedures,” the report said. That’s in part because some experts believe PCORI has been afraid to conduct research that could antagonize “powerful industries.” For example, only 4% of the research compares two or more drugs, although drugs account for 17% of overall health care spending, the report said. PCORI executive director Joe Selby, a physician, said he disagreed with how the report defined comparative effectiveness research (CER) as strictly headto-head comparisons, but acknowledged the institute had a “bit of a lull” in funding research at first. There also weren’t nearly as many major drug introductions when PCORI started, he says. PCORI has been criticized since it first appeared in 2009 in the legislation that became the ACA. Although CER had bipartisan support, the institute was caught in the politics surrounding what Republican former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin called “death panels” that could decide who received medical treatment. Now, despite widespread concerns about rising drug costs, CER is being attacked by patient groups supported by the pharmaceutical industry that claim the research could limit access to some life-saving drugs. Congress limited the ability of

Francis Collins, National Institutes of Health director, is on the board of PCORI.

“We don’t need to look at cost; we need to look at effectiveness.” Harlan Krumholz, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute board member and a cardiologist

PCORI to consider costs when comparing health care, drugs or prioritizing research studies. The institute also has a 21-person board appointed by the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ investigative arm. Drug and medical device makers have board positions along with a wide range of other experts, including Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health. Since 2010, former Rep. Tony Coelho, D-Calif., has led the Partnership to Improve Patient Care, which has been a leading critic of comparative effectiveness research. Its work is paid for in part by the pharmaceutical industry — though he won’t say how much — and other patient groups. “I’m their big advocate and also

a critic,” Coelho, who has epilepsy, said of PCORI in an interview. Coelho said the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., asked him to chair the group because of his political background, his disability and because he wouldn’t let anyone “unduly influence” him in efforts to get patients’ voices heard. Patient groups are major players in what PCORI decides to research. That can limit the focus on finding lower-cost options, which could hurt the profitability of the companies that fund the patient groups. If PCORI paid for more headto-head research, it would be easy for insurers and other business to pay for the cost analyses, said institute board member Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist. “I would like to see us sprint towards doing as much comparative research as possible,” says Krumholz, also a Yale University professor and health care researcher. “We don’t need to look at cost; we need to look at effectiveness.” Asked to single out the most significant research findings to date, Selby points to studies including those that found oral antibiotics can work as well as those delivered intravenously to children with serious bone infections and that giving stroke victims blood thinners when they were discharged from hospitals. During the institute’s board meeting last week and in interviews, there was both weariness and excitement about its future. “Let’s get this engine moving,” said PCORI board member Lawrence Becker, Xerox’s director of strategic partnerships and alliances. “It’s been a long road the last six years.”

McConnell to GOP on Trump: Just relax

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who learned an early lesson about the value of patience and persistence during a childhood bout with polio, has some advice for Republicans alarmed about the prospect of having presidential candidate Donald Trump at the top of the ticket and in the White House. Relax. “Some people have said our nominee is too controversial and that will cause you problems,” McConnell acknowledged in an interview about his memoir, The Long Game, being published Tuesday by Sentinel. “But by the way, the Democratic nominee is pretty controversial, too. The negatives on both these candidates at the moment are stunningly high.” By Election Day, he says dryly, “It’ll be interesting to see whose negatives are the highest.” Just two years ago, at age 72, McConnell reached the goal of a lifetime — Senate majority leader — when Republicans regained control and with it more power to frustrate President Obama’s ambitions and set a political agenda of their own. While non-partisan analysts say Democrats have an easier path to win the Senate in November, McConnell says there is a 50-50 chance the GOP can maintain its majority. He’s urging GOP candidates worried that Trump’s provocative views will hurt their prospects to run campaigns focused on their individual accomplishments for their particular states. He tells them they should feel free to point out issues on which they disagree with Trump. McConnell has managed to become the longest-serving senator in Kentucky history and a leader who has forged a disparate Republican caucus into a nearly united force on battles from opposing the Affordable Care Act to blocking the Supreme Court confirmation of Merrick Garland. He has been the scourge of both Tea Party-inspired conservatives and the Obama White House. In short, he has been a master of the long game. LOUISVILLE

POLIO’S MARK

“My first memory in life was my last visit to Warm Springs,” McConnell says. Just 4 years old, McConnell and his mother had spent the previous two years traveling the 60 miles from Five Points, Ala., to Warm Springs, the small Georgia town that drew polio victims for treatment.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, with a statue of Kentucky Sen. and House Speaker Henry Clay at the University of Louisville, is his state’s longest-serving senator. NOW PLAYING AT USATODAY.COM

Watch the full interview with Sen. Mitch McConnell.

The news for McConnell in 1946 was life-changing. “Nurses told my mother that I was going to be OK,” he recalls. “They thought I could walk without a limp and without a brace.” The disease had only a limited lasting impact on him physically, on his left quadriceps. The impact on his persona may have been greater. He marvels at his mother’s perseverance in following doctors’ orders that her son, 2 years old when he contracted polio, perform painful stretching exercises and avoid walking altogether until they said the time was right. “Can you imagine keeping a 2year-old and a 3-year-old off their feet?” he says. “She did it for two years, like a drill sergeant. And that tenacity, that lesson (is) that if you just keep working on something and (are) not defeated by the inevitable speed bumps that we all hit in life, that you can probably get where you’re headed.” Patience, persistence and a willingness to accept small steps toward a larger goal are traits that apply to his chosen career, he says. “The Senate rewards that sort of thing,” he says. That attitude has put him at odds with the Senate Conservatives Fund and other Tea Party-inspired groups that have targeted some Republican senators as insufficiently conservative in favor of more combative challengers. McConnell blasts former South Carolina senator Jim DeMint, who founded the group, as a hypocrite who would be “almost submissive” in meetings with his colleagues only to emerge

“Our nominee brags about, I think correctly, as somebody who’s transactional, somebody who, as he puts it, makes deals. Well, that’s what you have to do in order to function legislatively.” Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader

to bash them to reporters. “It’s important to remember the basic principle that winners make policy and losers go home,” McConnell says, saying he prefers to work “in the field of the achievable.” He blames the nomination of “unelectable” conservatives for costing Republicans three Senate seats in 2010 — in Colorado, Delaware and Nevada — and two more in 2012, in Indiana and Missouri. ‘PROFESSOR’ OBAMA

McConnell is sitting in the archives of the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, his alma mater. He and his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, live in a modest brick duplex in the Highlands neighborhood just a 10-minute drive away. His 278-page memoir offers a glimpse into McConnell’s personal story and settles some scores. His portrait of Obama is scathing, at one point sarcastically referring to him as “Professor” Obama. He argues that the president’s arrogance and refusal to negotiate cost him compromises that might have been achievable with Republicans during the final two years of his

tenure, including on overhauling the tax code and addressing the long-term sustainability of entitlement programs. McConnell also questions Obama’s decision to visit Hiroshima Friday during his Asian tour. “It looked a little bit like an apology, and believe me there’s nothing to apologize for,” McConnell says. His father, just back from fighting in Europe during World War II, had received orders to deploy to the Pacific when President Truman ordered atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, prompting the Japanese to surrender. “I can tell you that the decision to drop the bomb was really popular in our house and all across America.” In his memoir, McConnell also depicts Reid, his Democratic counterpart, as “a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality” who can be thoughtful in person but turns “bombastic and unreasonable” in front of a microphone. And Trump? McConnell says he has no problem envisioning working with Trump in the White House. “Our nominee brags about, I think correctly, as somebody who’s transactional, somebody who, as he puts it, makes deals. Well, that’s what you have to do in order to function legislatively, so I’m not worried about it at all. I think he’d be fine,” he says, dismissing concerns by some Republicans about his ideology and persona. He notes that the framework of the Constitution “constrains all of us, members of Congress and the president as well.” “I want to win the election, and I have to say Donald Trump has done a good job so far of winning elections,” McConnell says. “I hope he can win one more.”

Kenya is telling refugees to go home Government sees camps as hotbeds of terrorism, trafficking Tonny Onyulo and Natha Balsar

Special for USA TODAY DADAAB REFUGEE CAMP, KENYA

Standing inside his clothing shop in this dusty, sprawling settlement of 330,000 people, Deq Yussuf smiles politely even though he’s angry. Yussuf, who has lived here most of his life, has to leave by November because Kenya is shutting all its refugee camps, displacing 600,000 people. The government said the camps have become infiltrated by terrorists “I would rather die here than leave this place,” vowed Yusuf, 30, a father of two. “I have never known any other place apart from this refugee camp. I came here when I was 5 years old.” Yussuf lives in Ifo camp, one of five that make up Dadaab in eastern Kenya near the Somali border — the largest refugee complex in the world. Ifo looks like a rural village, with goats and camels wandering around small shops that sell everything from clothes to camel milk. He arrived at the camp in 1991 with his father from Bardera, Somalia, when the civil war that ousted Somali President Siad Barre broke out. He had no idea the camp would remain his home. Now the Kenya government wants to repatriate Dadaab refugees to Somalia. The government also wants to close another camp, Kakuma, that houses refugees from South Sudan, where a fragile cease-fire has taken hold in that country’s civil war. Yussuf has never left Dadaab. Kenya restricts the movement of refugees. “When I hear news about the repatriation of refugees I don’t sleep. I cry throughout the night because I have nowhere to go,” he said. “This is my home, the only home I know.” Kenya announced in May that it would will shutter the camps by

Children at the Dadaab refugee camp reach for candies. The Kenyan government wants to close the camp and Kakuma, which houses refugees from South Sudan. The government says terror attacks by Al-Shabab were planned at the Dadaab camp. November and send refugees back to Somalia and elsewhere after numerous attacks staged by al-Shabab, a Somalia terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda. Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the January attack on the resort island of Lamu that killed 29 people, as well as last year’s attack at Garissa University College that killed 147, mostly students, and the Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi in 2013 that killed 67 people. Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery said Kenyan security forces have thwarted numerous al-Shabab terrorism attempts over the years by arresting terror suspects at the Dadaab refugee complex and recovering caches of arms there.

IN BRIEF EMPTY BOOTS FULL OF PROTEST

“When I hear news about the repatriation of refugees I don’t sleep. I cry throughout the night because I have nowhere to go.” Deq Yussuf

“Key terror attacks in the country like Westgate, Lamu and Garissa University College that claimed hundreds of lives were planned and executed at the camp,” Nkaissery said.

He noted that the Islamic State could also be making inroads into Somalia. “The hosting of refugees has been costly for Kenya,” he said. “As a country we have been glad to help our neighbors and all those in need. ... There comes a time when we must think primarily about the security of our people.” But refugees at the camp say the government is punishing them for the mistakes of others. “We wouldn’t destroy a country which has accepted to accommodate us for that long,” said Nasra Mohammed, a mother of 10. “There are a few terrorists in the camp who want to destroy our lives. Not everyone here supports terrorism — we hate them.

The government should arrest them and allow us to stay.” The United States has joined the United Nations and human rights groups in urging Kenya to rescind its decision to shut down the refugee camps. Meanwhile, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights urged the international community to help Kenya shoulder the burden of hosting the refugees to avoid closing the camps. For Yussuf, returning to Somalia is not an option. He has no family there. He’s not even sure where his relatives are or whether they are still alive. “I don’t want to return to Somalia,” he said. Onyulo reported from Nairobi, Kenya.

President Obama honored the nation’s fallen on Memorial Day with a special mention of three Americans who died combating the Islamic State in Iraq during the past year. During a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknowns, the president said Navy SEAL Charles Keating IV, 31; Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin, 27; and Army Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, 39, were among those who “didn’t speak the loudest about their patriotism. They let their actions do that.” The annual ceremony was attended by about 6,000 people, many of them children of war heroes wearing red shirts and holding photos of their deceased parents. — Richard Wolf DOZENS RESCUED AS TEXAS FLOODWATERS RISE

Authorities said Monday they rescued at least 40 people in the past two days from floodwaters in Fort Bend County near Houston, after at least six people died during a weekend of heavy flooding. Some rivers and waterways were still rising after torrential rain pounded the region last week. Forecasters say flooding of

the Brazos River in parts of Texas will continue through Tuesday, when the river is expected to crest more than 3 feet above its previous record, the Associated Press reported. Elsewhere, authorities confirmed that a tornado touched down Monday near the Nebraska border in Peetz. Colorado State Patrol says the storms caused minor damage as residents were told to take cover. There’s no word yet on injuries, KUSA-TV reported. — Jessica Durando ALSO ...

uChad’s former dictator Hissene Habre was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment for abuses during his rule from 1982 to 1990, Judge Gberdao Gustave Kam said Monday, according to the Associated Press. uArgentina’s President Mauricio Macri said Monday he will repatriate $1.3 million in savings from the Bahamas and use the money to buy Argentine treasury bonds. He recently set up a blind trust to handle his financial holdings in response to criticism over his role in two offshore companies that emerged in the “Panama Papers” leak, the Associated Press reported. Macri said the companies were family businesses and he was a figurehead without compensation.

Struggling United Nations-led peace talks aimed at ending Syria’s brutal five-year civil war took another blow when the Syrian opposition’s lead negotiator quit his post, citing a lack of progress. Mohammed Alloush, a member of the Jaish al-Islam rebel group, accused the international community of failing “to enforce resolutions, in particular regarding humanitarian issues, the lifting of sieges, access to aid, the release of prisoners and adherence to the cease-fire.” A rickety, partial ceasefire deal constructed in February drew violations from both sides, according to U.S. officials. The “cessation of hostilities” failed to allow more than a trickle of international aid to reach rebel communities besieged by the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. To expedite aid deliveries, the World Food Program planned to expand food drop operations into besieged areas of Syria beginning Wednesday. In recent days, however, security concerns threatened to delay the effort. “The three rounds of talks were unsuccessful because of the stubbornness of the regime and its continued bombardments and aggressions toward the Syrian people,” Alloush said in a statement late Sunday. “I therefore announce my withdrawal from the delegation and my resignation.” Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for U.N. special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, told the Associated Press in Geneva that the resignation is an “internal matter.” “We look forward to continuing our work with all sides to ensure that the process moves forward,” she said. While Assad’s opposition has

struggled, gains have been made against the Islamic State. The militant group has lost 45% of the territory it once held in Iraq and 20% of areas it controlled in Syria, according to estimates by a U.S.-led coalition combating the extremist group. Also Monday, opposition activists reported intense government airstrikes in the northern province of Aleppo while Syrian state media SANA reported that rebels attacked government-held parts of the provincial capital. More than 160,000 civilians have been trapped by the fighting between ISIL and Syrian rebels, the Associated Press reported, and one of the few remaining hospitals from the Aleppo area was evacuated last week by the aid group Doctors Without Borders. Meanwhile, more than 8,000 people escaped villages and displacement camps to the east and south of the rebel-held town of Azaz over the weekend, according to the International Rescue Committee.

JUNE RISKS COULD CAUSE ‘SUMMER OF SHOCKS’

Wary traders fear there is potential for volatile market

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street is eyeing markets in June with suspicion and trepidation as traders monitor a number of potential shocks that could derail stocks this summer. Investors are on high alert even though the Dow Jones industrial average is coming off its best weekly advance in 10 weeks. The Dow’s 2.1% jump was its best since the week ending March 18. The angst is driven home by the foreboding language that evokes coming storms used by Wall Street strategists in recent investment reports. Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, warns that markets are entering “event risk June,” which could culminate in a “summer of shocks.” The investment team at Cornerstone Financial Partners says the market could be in for a “cruel, cruel summer.” Are there land mines? “Yes, the potential is there. No doubt we are facing a lot of potential shocks,” Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network, told USA TODAY. The key word, however, is “potential,” as the three shocks McMillan fears could upend markets most are viewed as low-probability outcomes. That’s precisely what makes the risks greater: Investors downplay worst-case outcomes and could be caught flatfooted and improperly positioned. Adding to the sense of caution is the fact that June is among the

worst months for the Dow. Since 1950, it has posted an average decline of 0.3% in June, which ranks 11 out of 12 months, according to The Stock Trader’s Almanac. McMillan ticks off three things that could cause market volatility to spike in June when stocks are fully valued if not overvalued and corporate earnings are under pressure. 1. FED RATE HIKES

JUNE IS DOW DOWNER June is the second-worst month for the Dow Jones industrial average in the past 66 years. June performance since 1950: RANK:

The Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting is June 15 and chair Janet Yellen said Friday that it’s “appropriate” to increase interest AVG. RETURN: rates “gradually and cautiously … in the coming months.” Though investors have come around to TIMES UP: the idea that the economy can withstand another quarter-point TIMES DOWN: increase, any signs that the Fed is thinking of following a June hike with multiple additional hikes SOURCE: Stock Trader’s Almanac could upset the bulls. “There’s a big difference between saying we might (hike) and here we go,” McMillan says. “If they do hike in June, then the question becomes do they hike two or three times, not one or two? And that’s a big shift.” U.S. stocks fell nearly 12% after the Fed’s quarter-point rate hike in mid-December, its first rate increase in nearly 10 years. A similar negative reaction can’t be ruled out, Wall Street pros say.

-0.3% 30 36

2. BREXIT IN EUROPE

The fear factor related to the “Brexit” vote June 23 has diminished in recent weeks amid polls that suggest Brits will opt to stay in the 28-country European Union. The risk? If investors’ bet on what Bank of America dubs a

“Bremain” is wrong and Britain leaves the EU. Such an event is not priced into markets and is likely to cause turmoil and economic disruption in Europe and the United Kingdom. “The market’s looking at Brexit and yawning,” McMillan says. “(Britain) will probably stay, but the market could be wrong, and that is the type of Black Swanevent that investors should be looking at but are not.” 3. JOBS AND WAGE SURPRISE

The May jobs report set for release Friday could also upset markets. If the U.S. jobs count comes in weaker than expected, after a disappointing 160,000 new jobs created in April, it could spark alarm that job growth is weakening, which would negatively impact the confidence of U.S. consumers. “Two downticks in a row for jobs will rattle investors,” McMillan says. Why? The job market and consumer spending have been two of the bright spots driving the U.S. recovery. On the flip side, if the job market heats up too much and puts upward pressure on wage growth, it could raise inflation fears and spook markets, says Dan Heckman, national investment consultant at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. While commodity prices, such as oil, rebound, it could put further pressure on the Fed to raise borrowing costs more aggressively to slow things down. “Investors will get hit with a left (jab) and a right (uppercut): rising wage inflation and rising commodities inflation,” Heckman says.

Apple, 11 others blow past $100 barrier Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Want to buy Apple (AAPL) stock? You’d better bring a “Benjamin.” Shares of the gadgetmaker pulled back above the $100-ashare barrier Thursday, joining 11 other stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 to do the same. Video streamer Netflix (NFLX), financial Ameriprise (AMP) and tool maker Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) are other big stocks that have again surpassed the hundred-dollar-a-share barrier after slipping below the level when the market sagged this year, according to a USA TODAY analysis from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Apple shares remained above the $100 mark on Friday. Seeing Apple and other highpriced stocks retake the century mark is another visible sign of how the market has been repairing itself. A powerful 14% rally

kicked off after the market bottomed this year Feb. 11, helping to ease many investors’ worst fears. Apple shares, which were punished and sent as low as $90.34 on May 12, are up to $100.41 thanks to a 11% rally over the past week. The stock has been rising on reports that the company might be working on an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that apes the one offered by Amazon.com (AMZN). The move is a defensive one by Apple. “The industry is rife with investments in bots and AI as Facebook (FB), Google, Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon all have projects. If Siri becomes the gateway bot for interaction with personal devices, Apple can maintain control over the user experience and preserve the value of its ecosystem,” UBS analyst Steven Milunovich says in a note to clients. “If other bots or services come to the fore, the Apple user interface will be eroded, and the hardware could become less valuable.”

Apple’s market value is still more than $200 billion below its peak back in May 2015. But the fact that it and other stocks are retaking $100 is a vote of confidence. Netflix actually exceeded the $100 barrier one day before Apple did, on Wednesday, after falling to $86.35 a share on the market bottom. Shares are up $2.61 to $102.81. One of most resounding bounces back to $100 a share was mounted by Ameriprise, a provider of financial services. The shares sagged to $76.27 when the market bottomed. Since then, shares surged 31% to $100.17 Thursday. Financial information provider Dun & Bradstreet has seen its shares soar 40%, from the $89.34 low, to $125.04 Thursday. There’s no shortage of things for investors to worry about — ranging from the Fed to the election. At least this rally gives investors 100 things to make them feel a little better.

TRAVEL FAVORITE UPSCALE HOTELS:

ASK THE CAPTAIN

PANEL SAYS STAFF, ATTENTION CRUCIAL Nancy Trejos

Planes with propellers have their advantages

@nancytrejos USA TODAY

John Cox

These days, robots are increasingly appearing with hotel room service orders, smartphones are serving as keys, and tablets are controlling the room temperature. But for USA TODAY Road Warriors who have the budget to stay at upscale hotels, human interaction is the key to making them loyal to a particular brand. “The difference is the people,” says Robert Getzenberg, a scientist in Memphis. Getzenberg’s favorite upscale brand is The Ritz-Carlton, which is part of Marriott International. “They really seem to care and try to find ways to make your stay more pleasant,” he says. “They simply put the best product together and make you feel a little special while you travel.” USA TODAY conducted an informal survey to determine the favorite upscale hotel brands among readers. A total of 102 members of our Road Warriors panel cast votes. These frequent travelers chose a variety of brands run by companies big and small. But the one that got the most votes —11—was The Ritz-Carlton, which operates 87 hotels and resorts in 29 countries. Ramesh Murthy, a vice president of global planning for Hasbro, Inc, who lives in Greenville, R.I., recently stayed at the Ritz in Barcelona. The staff paid special attention to the fact that he was traveling with his children and had daily treats for them. His daughter’s birthday coincided with the trip, and the hotel surprised her with a cake. “The concierge staff was extremely friendly and capable, helping us with our daily activities and excursions and always sent us to great experiences,” he says. “I have never had a bad experience at a Ritz-Carlton hotel.” Marriott’s upscale brands, including the J.W. Marriott, topped the list of hotels named as favorites by Road Warriors, with a total of 26 votes. Marriott, which has 19 brands of all price ranges, is in the midst of buying Starwood Ho-

Q: Why are the hurricanehunter planes only twin turboprops and not the fan jets that passenger planes use? — Edward Zell, Ohio A: The turboprops are more tolerant of hail than the jets. Airplanes that penetrate thunderstorms have an increased chance of encountering hail. Additionally, the two types of airplanes used, the P-3 and the C-130, are especially rugged. Q: How does a propeller engine slow the plane for landing? — M. Pengilly, Ohio A: The propeller is rotated so that the prop wash (thrust) is directed forward. There are two advantages for the propeller aircraft. When the propeller is flattened out from the flight idle position, it creates a large amount of drag. Further rotating the propeller blades reaches a point where the airflow actually is opposite the direction of travel. Propeller airplanes can land on short runways due, in part, of the effectiveness of the propeller reversing. Q: Is it normal for small regional turboprops to shake a lot just before and during takeoff ? — Josh, Peoria, Ill. A: Some turboprop aircraft change the speed of the engines for flight and use varying pitch of the propeller, causing some vibration on the ground or just prior to landing. It depends on the type of airplane and the conditions. Q: Why do winged airplanes use engines with twin propellers spinning in opposite directions? — James R. Gammage, Sharpsburg, Ga. A: This increases control during flight with one engine inoperative. Propeller discs (a spinning propeller acts as a disc) produce thrust asymmetrically due to aerodynamics, and by keeping the most efficient part of the disc closer to the center line of the airplane, control is enhanced.

Ritz-Carlton was named the favorite upscale hotel brand by USA TODAY's Road Warriors panel of frequent travelers. The Ritz-Carlton operates 87 hotels and resorts in 29 countries. tels and Resorts. Once that merger is complete, the combined company will become the largest hotel chain in the world. J.W. Marriott hotels also fared well, with five votes. “Every J.W. that I've stayed in is perfect,” says Doug Hildebrand, a regional account manager in Hagerstown, Md. “They always exceed expectations. The rooms are always spectacular, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms you don't want to leave.” Starwood, whose luxury brands include St. Regis and W Hotels and Resorts, got 17 votes. Seven Road Warriors singled out St. Regis, in particular the New York City property. “The original iconic New York location is the best, where everyone remembers your name, favorite room and even breakfast choices,” says Arthur Brandt, a lawyer in Chicago. Hilton Worldwide, another giant, had a strong showing with its upscale brands, Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts and Conrad Hotels and Resorts.

They got free afternoon tea and snacks. “The property is amazing, the service is excellent and you will not want to ever leave,” he says. David Stollman, a Boca Raton, Fla., resident and president of the educational group CAMPUSPEAK, prefers the Roosevelt Hotel, a Waldorf Astoria property, in New Orleans. “Old world charm in an amazing city,” he says. “The historic Sazerac bar has perfect ambiance and style.” Hyatt Hotels earned high marks for its Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands. Jonna Stopnik, an executive in Huntington Beach, Calif., calls

the Park Hyatt Tokyo a favorite. The views from the governor’s suite are amazing as is the Japanese wood soaking tub, Stopnik says. The room comes with butler service. “Very exceptional in Tokyo and amazing resort luxury for anywhere in the world,” Stopnik says. Some smaller hotel chains that only concentrate on providing a luxury experience also got recognition from Road Warriors. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, which has 98 properties in 41 countries, had a strong showing with nine votes. Consistency is the key for Nicholas Logothetis, a New Yorkbased executive board member of Libra Group, a company that invests in various industries. “Whether you are in Baltimore or Boston or Beverly Hills, you can expect the same extremely high quality of service and product that makes life on the road easier,” he says. “It’s the small things that matter when you are traveling so much, and having the ability to know what kind of pillows you will get or the reliability of the room service menu etc. makes all the difference.”

‘Ridiculous’ airline fees could go buh-bye Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Airline fees aren’t disappearing anytime soon, but the most ridiculous of them may be headed for the emergency exits. By “ridiculous” I mean United Airlines’ $50 processing fee for tickets refunded to passengers after unplanned events such as jury duty, illness or death. Or Delta Air Lines’ $25 fee for booking a ticket by phone. “Some of these fees were irrationally punitive,” says George Hoffer, a transportation economist at the University of Richmond. “They were neither costnor demand-based.” They’ve been quietly eliminated in the last few weeks, and more could follow. But don’t get your hopes too high. Airlines and fees will continue to be synonymous for a while, unless the government gets involved. Why are the outrageous fees vanishing? Because they were, well, outrageous. Often they had no relation to the cost of delivering air transportation — in other words, they were just junk fees forced on customers — and customers despised them. The latest Qualtrics Airline Pain Index suggests four out of five travelers are annoyed by these gratuitous surcharges. Killing the fees is also a realistic move. “It’s a modest investON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

Delta Air Lines has stopped charging fees for U.S. customers who buy tickets by phone or at one of the airline’s counters. ment they can afford to make in the context of big profits,” says Seth Kaplan, the editor of Airline Weekly. “They couldn’t do it when a few cents here and there could make the difference between surviving or not.” John Grant, a senior analyst for OAG, describes the recent moves as a “charm offensive” by the airlines, and he expects more of it ahead. “Ultimately the possible fear of losing revenue by the traveler booking elsewhere — or, indeed, not traveling — has always been a slight concern,” he adds. But let’s not kid ourselves. Taken together, fees like these are what made the airline industry profitable, so don’t expect them to all disappear overnight. North America’s airlines raked in almost $11 billion in extra fees last year, up 24% from 2014. But it turns out they want to be profitable and be loved, too, and may-

be you can have it both ways. Then again, maybe not. Consider the change fee British Airways asked Samantha Sieverling, a student from Seattle, to pay when she tried to reroute her flight from Sofia, Bulgaria, back home. The reason for her change of heart? After the latest terrorist attacks, she wanted to avoid a stopover in Turkey. To switch her itinerary, the airline demanded $275 plus a fare difference, which would have cost more than her original ticket. Of course, British Airways would have probably resold her seat, collecting twice for the same seat. Ah, airline math. When observers survey the fee landscape, they see the debris of junk fees like Delta’s ticket charges and United’s refund charges. And then they behold the hulking mountain of confiscatory ticket change fees such as

the one Sieverling was faced with. They say airlines can clean up the junk but if they really want the good will of their customers, they’ll also have to fix the change fees. That’s easier said than done. U.S. airlines collected nearly $3 billion in change fees in 2014, the last year for which numbers are available. That’s a tall mountain, and a lot of goodwill. But there’s a strong will to force airlines to change. Southwest Airlines, which is consistently among the most profitable airlines, doesn’t charge any change fees, so there’s a sense that this junk fee could be cleared away. Help might be on the way. Congress is considering a law that would force airlines to justify their change fees. Consumer advocates argue they wouldn’t be able to, and would effectively be forced to lower or eliminate them. Even if that law fails, there will be others, and advocacy groups like the National Consumers League have made it a priority to bring these loathed fees back down to earth. Since this is America, there could be a market solution, too. A new airline called GLO launched late last year without baggage fees, no cost on food or beverage, and no seat choice fee. “We didn’t think nickel-anddiming for something like bags was the way to go,” Trey Fayard, the airline’s founder, says. “After all, you are traveling. That means you have either been somewhere that wasn’t home or going back home - it’s pretty tough to not fly with a bag.” GLO is a very small player, but if it’s successful, maybe the big

HOW TO AVOID SOME FEES u Steer clear of “discount” or “low fare” airlines. Their business model is to charge an unprofitably low fare and then load up the fees. When all is said and done, you could end up paying more, with charges for everything from your seat assignment to your carry-on bag. u Fly an inclusive airline or route. Some airlines still include the first bag on some or all flights. Others include meals and drinks. In the United States, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue and Southwest have reputations for keeping extraneous fees to a minimum. u Refuse to pay. That is the only way to make a fee disappear. “That’s the bottom line,” explains John McDonald, a former airline manager. “If customers don’t like them, they don’t pay. Pure and simple. If airlines can’t get people to see the value in the service — and pay the fee — it goes away quickly.”

airlines will follow. And if they don’t, maybe Congress will force them to do the right thing. They’ve already taken the first step. Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler

Simon Cowell, America’s Got Talent’s executive producer, is the show’s newest judge as the series moves back to California.

Bill Keveney @billkev USA TODAY

BEVERLY HILLS , CALIF. After a 21⁄2-year absence from American TV, Simon Cowell got an appropriate welcome when he returned for his first taping as an America’s Got Talent judge. “The first audition was an 83year-old woman standing on her head singing the national anthem. I thought, ‘OK, I’m back,’ ” he says. “It was a thrill, a buzz that first day.” Cowell, 56, who helped lead a talent-competition renaissance as the arch arbiter of monster hit American Idol, rejoins the U.S. reality TV landscape for Season 11 of NBC summer hit Talent, a show he created and produces. It’s not as if he’s out of practice offering opinions: Since the U.S. version of The X Factor, a threeseason offering that didn’t come close to Idol’s heights but produced Fifth Harmony, Cowell has judged on Britain’s Got Talent and the United Kingdom X Factor while continuing to assess talent as a recording executive. “Before we were judging on TV, we were always auditioning people. My whole life has become a bloody audition,” says Cowell, who will join returning panelists Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel and host Nick Cannon as Talent goes back to its first home, Los Angeles, after four seasons in New York with now-departed judge Howard Stern. Talent goes far beyond the focus of Idol, X Factor and The Voice, its format designed to stand out in a sea of music competitions. “Every time you turned on the TV, somebody would be singing out of tune. It started to drive me mad,” he says. “This girl was singing some awful song, and I thought, ‘I actually would prefer to watch a dancing dog.’ It was

the genesis of the idea.” While Talent features comics, acrobats, ventriloquists and hardto-define acts, Cowell says more singers applied this season, and he hopes to generate stars along the lines of Fifth Harmony, One Direction (assembled on the U.K.’s X Factor) and Susan Boyle (Britain’s Got Talent). His experience will help, he says, adding that one reason TV competitions are producing fewer stars is that performers, not executives, are the judges. “Would you hire an artist to run your record label? I wouldn’t,” he says. Mandel vouches for his expertise. “Somebody would be on stage doing something and he would go, ‘Stop!’ Like they weren’t ner-

vous enough. He would say, ‘The choice you’re making is wrong. Try something else.’ They would do it, terrified, but it made them better,” he says. “He is a producer, a star-maker.” He’s also a father to two-yearold Eric, a happy addition since his last U.S. TV stint. Whether fatherhood will influence his on-air personality remains to be seen, but Cowell appears serene taking on a new, if familiar, role. Talent is “a funny, optimistic show. The panel reflects that. I think I’m pretty much the same. If I like someone, I really like them; and if I don’t like someone, I don’t like them,” he says, explaining that many kinder moments on past series were cut. “I wasn’t always rude.”

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ rules, ‘Alice’ struggles Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

X-Men: Apocalypse opened with $80 million for the long Memorial Day weekend, destroying competition that included Alice Through the Looking Glass, which disappointed with $34.2 million over four days. The Bryan Singer-directed X-Men filled the multiplexes with a cast of mutants that included newcomers Sophie Turner and Tye Sheridan, along with franchise marquee names such as Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender. But the ninth film in the franchise underperformed against expectations and its own standards,

coming in far below Singer’s 2014 Memorial Day outing X-Men: Days of Future Past, which made $110.6 million over the same span, according to comScore. Apocalypse was hurt by harsh reviews, scoring a paltry 48% positive critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com, while audiences graded it an A- at CinemaScore. “There’s no reason to complain about an $80 million four-day weekend,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “But certainly other films in the franchise have had better reviews and seen better box office.” Alice Through the Looking Glass had its own issues, even as it brought back much of the same cast from Tim Burton’s quirky 2010 film version of Alice in Won-

ED KEMPF, 75, HAS BEEN WORKING THE COUNTER of the Snack Shak Phillips 66 in Shawnee since 2005. A Shawnee resident since Johnson County was mostly just rural farmland, Kempf has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer but has no plans of slowing down.

Cancer vs. a true Kansas character By Melissa Treolo Twitter: @WellCommons

Shawnee — If you ever hit the Snack Shak Phillips 66 gas station in Johnson County for your morning fill-up of coffee or breakfast edibles, you’ve likely seen a friendly and familiar face. His name is Ed Kempf, and the Shawnee resident has been a longtime fixture behind the convenience store’s counter. He opens the store every morning of the week — getting to work at 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and an hour later on Sundays. He works only part-time, and usually leaves for the day by about 10 a.m. “I run the register, do a little stocking,” he said. “I tell you what, it’s kept me alive. Because I have to get up and go.”

Ed Kempf’s secret is to show no quit At 75 years old, Kempf isn’t just referring to his age, though. He is also battling emphysema and stage four lung cancer, which he was diagnosed with in March of last year. The cancer is incurable, and Kempf says he knows he is dying. But, as he also says simply, and rather goodnaturedly, “Everybody’s gotta go sometime.” Kempf is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and having a place he needs to be at every day helps a lot, too. “If I go home and lay down, I’d be dead,” he said. “I just keep going.”

The former Army reservist has worn a number of hats throughout his life career-wise, from farmhand to grocery store clerk to real estate agent to even president of the United Labor Credit Union in Kansas City, Mo. But he had no real plans to add gas station clerk to his resume until he met and struck up a friendship with Mukhtar Raja, the owner of Phillips 66, who is originally from Pakistan. “He used to come every single morning to have a cup of coffee from the store,” said

Raja, who recalled the financial struggles he underwent shortly after opening his Shawnee business in 2004. A partner he originally went into the business with pulled out of the deal, Raja said, and with no extra money to hire employees, “I was the only one left to run the show. So I used to open the store and close the store myself.” During a conversation one morning, Raja shared his struggles with the retired Kempf. “He said, ‘I need some help,’’’ Kempf recalled. “I said I’d help him out for a little while.” That was back in 2005, and Kempf has been working at the Snack Shak register ever since. “Well, I got to like the people,” he said, speakPlease see CANCER, page 2C

New food labels to emphasize calories, sugar Washington — A new look is coming to Nutrition Facts labels on food packages, with more attention to calorie counts and added sugars. And no longer will a small bag of chips count as two or three servings. First lady Michelle Obama said parents will be the beneficiaries. “You will no longer need a micro-

scope, a calculator, or a degree in nutrition to figure out whether the food you’re buying is actually good for our kids,” Obama said recently, announcing the new rules. The changes were first proposed by the Food and Drug Administration two years ago and are the first major update to the labels since their introduction in 1994.

Today marks my last day as CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Over the past several months, I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback that I’ve had on what we’ve been able to accomplish at LMH. As appreciative as I am to hear this, too often the CEO of an organization is given too much credit for the accomplishments of many. That is the purpose of this brief article. An organization the size of LMH is dependent upon literally several thousand people who are committed to our mission. Clearly, the Board of Trustees of the hospital heads that list because of their important responsibilities to

ensuring quality care and proper oversight of the organization. Their work has been exemplary over the past 19 years that I’ve been associated with various compositions of that group. I am so appreciative of their leadership and support.

Many of the resources that we are so proud of could not Please see LMH, page 2C

the manufacturer. Think an apple vs. sweetened apple sauce. The labels will also include a new “percent daily value” for sugars, telling people how much of their recommended daily intake they will get from each item. This year’s guidelines recommend no more than 10 percent of calories from added sugar, a limit of around 200 calories or 50 grams. “The new labels should also spur food manufacturers to add less sugar to their products,” Michael Jacobson, president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group. He said it’s currently impossible for consumers studying the labels to know how much sugar fits into a reasonable diet.

. Serving sizes will be clearer, listed at the top of the graphic. And they will be less misleading, making it easier to figure out how many servings are in a container. That means revised calculations for about a fifth of foods. The idea behind listing a whole package of food, or an entire drink, as one serving isn’t to motivate people to eat more. It is to help them understand how many calories they are consuming. By law, serving sizes should be based on actual consumption and not ideal consumption. A serving size of ice cream will now be based on average consumption of 2/3 of a cup. Previously it was a half-cup. Products between one and two servings, such as a 20-ounce soda or a 15-ounce soup can, will be labeled as a single serving because that’s how much people typically eat in one sitting.

Larger packages, like a pint of ice cream, will have labels with two columns. One will show serving information; the other is for the whole container. Labels also must now list levels of potassium and Vitamin D, nutrients Americans don’t get enough of. Vitamins A and C are no longer required but can be included. Iron and calcium stay. Most food companies have until July 2018 to comply. Smaller companies have an extra year. Industry reaction has been mixed. The Sugar Association said the emphasis on added sugar distracts attention from calories, potentially causing confusion. They have fought the new rules alongside some companies, including beverage makers who say they are already putting calorie labels on the front of cans and bottles.

Then again, what other job lets you build sandcastles on the clock? Or paint the front porch with mud? Or smash an acorn with a ball peen hammer just to see what’s inside? Or smash a bunch more because the first was so fun? “Good job, Daddy!” cries my daughter as we stand together in front of the mirror admiring her pigtails, which I have just feebly rubber-banded into place. She sees only the front, which looks OK, but the back of her head is a mess so twisted and tight it must hurt. Thanks, sweetheart. I only make this job look hard.

be possible without this fundraising. To be a great hospital requires that an organization have a great medical staff. And we do. Our highly-trained physicians have dedicated their professional lives to their patients and then in turn to the support of LMH. While physician recruitment is always an ongoing opportunity for organizations like LMH, the current composition of our medical staff is outstanding. Most physicians have many opportunities to practice practically anywhere in the country. But our staff have chosen to make that in and around Lawrence, Kansas. We could not be where we are today without them. Many hospitals have a cadre of volunteers who do an outstanding job in various areas of the hospitals. Our volunteer contingent exceeds any that I’ve ever seen in my 35 years of health care. By sheer numbers, commitment and support, they demonstrate a unique and important value to the success of our organization. Their smiles, greetings and in many cases, wayfinding that they do, send the message to those we serve that they are an important cog in our organization.

I think by now you know how important numbers are to me. The number 1,450 marks the number of associates who have chosen a career at LMH. The skills, abilities and personalities that they each exhibit have blended together into a team that makes me very proud. Proud of not only what they do, but proud to have been associated with so many of them for the last 19 years. They are the fabric of LMH. I am eternally grateful to each one of them for their support, input and professionalism. And finally, to many of you who have been patients, visitors, donors or just plain friends of LMH. I consider myself so very fortunate to end a career in health care with so many positive memories and friendships that we’ve established. Health care in many respects defines a community. Our successes at LMH have been on behalf of the communities that we serve. While we are tested every single day in moments of truth, the overall performance of LMH is one that I hope everyone is proud of. Thank you for the opportunity that I’ve had to serve. To your health. — Gene Meyer has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Lawrence Memorial Hospital since May 1997.

Dear Annie: When my wife and I took a trip to Canada, my granddaughter and her live-in boyfriend at the time called to ask for permission to spend a week in our house, which is near a beach. My wife said OK. This upset me for two reasons: We had $100,000 in precious metals in the house and I was concerned about theft. I had never met this boyfriend. Also, to have someone stay in our house for a week without us there seemed like an invasion of privacy. This granddaughter later married the boyfriend and they had a child. It turned out he was an alcoholic and when drunk, he threatened to kill her and the baby. She brought the baby and our son-inlaw (her father), and

Last Christmas, I brought up the subject of people staying in my house when I’m not there. Now, neither our granddaughter nor her parents are speaking to us. We’ve called them several times, but they

NBC adds variety to its lineup NBC has doubled down on variety. The popular old-fashioned TV genre fizzled after beloved series hosted by Sonny and Cher and Carol Burnett left the air. Ironically, it was NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” that made these series seem a tad outdated when it burst upon the scene in 1975. Variety has returned in the form of the talent show, most notably with “American Idol,” which just ended its long run. But it lives on in the form of “The Voice,” “So You T h i n k You Can Dance” and, of course, “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG), a popular summer distraction for NBC since 2006. “Idol” fixture Simon Cowell joins the show as a “new” judge, but he’s hardly new to viewers, or even the series. He was a founder of the “Got Talent” format, which appears in countries all over the world. He was among the judges when Susan Boyle appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent” way back in 2009. Cowell joins “Talent” regulars Nick Cannon, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel, and replaces Howard Stern, who was always a rather odd fit on this family-friendly series. Lorne Michaels will serve as a producer of “Maya and Marty” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14), a new old-fashioned variety series featuring two “SNL” vets, Maya Rudolph and Martin Short. While viewers have flocked to watch aspiring talents on “The Voice” and other variety reboots, ratings have been fairly spotty for post-modern sendups of the somewhat antiquated show-business format. Many of Short’s most memorable bits involve ironydrenched takes on what used to be called the glamour profession. Over the years, on “SNL” and earlier on “SCTV” he’s played Jackie Rogers Jr., the delusional, homely and untalented son of a song-and-dance legend, as well as Irving Cohen, a superannuated Tin Pan Alley songwriter always calling for a “bouncy C” from the piano player. More recently, he donned a fat suit to send up fawning celebrity culture with Jiminy Glick, an obtuse starstruck interviewer with an infamous inability to listen. As for his co-host, this isn’t the first time the “Bridesmaids” star has ventured into this territory. “The Maya Rudolph Show” aired briefly in 2014. Tonight’s other highlights

For Tuesday, May 31: This year you will work more closely with a serious partner or business associate. At times, you might want to throw in the towel. Learning how to interact with this person will be important. The more relaxed and easygoing you are, the better the flow will be between you and others. If you are single, you could attract someone who is very different in spirit, but who holds many of the same beliefs as you. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy a lot of give-and-take, which sometimes will seem combative.

Ask your daughter whether she would be willing to go with you for counseling to resolve this and work on having a better relationship in the future. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Early leaders

Journal-World, AP File Photos

BY THE TIME THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL SEASON ROLLS AROUND, THESE FOUR COACHES — clockwise from top left, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Villanova’s Jay Wright, Xavier’s Chris Mack and Kansas’ Bill Self — well could have the top four teams in the country.

A look at next preseason’s top 10 teams No rational thinker could deny that Bill Self’s 13th Kansas University basketball team was the third-best in the nation, ranking behind only national champion Villanova and runner-up North Carolina. And third is as good a guess as any as to where the Jayhawks will open next season. Now that the deadline for determining NBA Draft status has passed and all but one major recruit — forward Jarrett Allen (mulling Houston, Kansas and Texas) of Austin, Texas — have made a college choice, it no longer is too early to take a stab at a 2016-17 preseason top 10:

Duke: The Blue Devils return four doublefigures scorers, including Grayson Allen (21.6 points per game), and welcome

four of the nation’s top 12 recruits, as ranked by Rivals. Draftexpress.com projects two of the recruits to go in the top three picks of the 2017 draft, with 6-foot-11 Harry Giles going first and 6-8 Jayson Tatum third. The Blue Devils have it all, with athletic big men, rich NCAA Tournament experience in the backcourt and frontcourt and great shooting. Look for Duke to get every first-place vote in the initial poll of the 2016-17 college basketball season. Duke beat out Kentucky and TCU for Marques Bolden, a springy, 6-10, 250-pound center with a 7-6 wingspan from DeSoto, Texas, to round out an alreadydynamite recruiting class. A healthy season from smart, veteran post player

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Amile Jefferson and a strong rookie season from point guard Frank Jackson, the nation’s No. 12 recruit, are two major keys for Duke, which has so much firepower around those complementary pieces.

Villanova: Competitive three-point marksman Ryan Arcidiacono and center Daniel Ochefu are gone, but the national champions return the rest of their important pieces, including starters Jalen

Brunson, Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins. Relentless, athletic glue guy Mikal Bridges came on strong at the end of his freshman season. Spurred by confidence gained from a national-title game in which he made six of seven field goals and all six free throws, Phil Booth figures to shake from a sophomore slump to fulfill the promise he showed as a freshman. Villanova still has the pieces to bring out the worst in opponents and shut down big-time scorers.

Kansas: Nobody should be even mildly surprised if junior Devonté Graham emerges as the team’s best player, at least until freshman Josh Jackson becomes completely comfortable with the transition to college basketball. Graham outplayed

Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield at both ends in Norman, Okla., offering a glimpse of his allaround talent. Graham and Frank Mason III form one of the nation’s most experienced, talented backcourts, and Carlton Bragg Jr. projects as a candidate for mostimproved honors. Landen Lucas showed remarkable improvement during the course of the season and has the strength to bruise any big man he’ll face. Jackson’s eagerness to stand out defensively and compete hard on the boards should make for a smooth transition to the college game.

Guard Newman leaving MSU By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

L.G. Patterson/AP Photo

MALIK NEWMAN — PICTURED JAN. 30 IN COLUMBIA, MO. — announced Monday he will transfer away from Mississippi State.

Malik Newman — Rivals. com’s No. 8-ranked player in the recruiting Class of 2015 who ultimately chose his dad’s alma mater, Mississippi State, over Kansas University and Kentucky — on Monday announced plans to transfer after one season at the SEC school. The 6-foot-3 combo guard

has not yet revealed a list of possible destinations, though the Clarion-Ledger newspaper reports, “Newman will take the summer to decide where he’ll play next. He hasn’t talked to any schools yet. The family hasn’t placed a deadline on when a decision could be made.” Newman’s dad, Horatio Webster, told the paper: “We haven’t even gotten to that point. We’re just at the

point that he won’t be going back to Mississippi State.” Newman declared for the NBA Draft after a freshman season in which he averaged 11.3 points a game off 39.1 percent shooting (37.9 percent from three, 68.7 from the line) for a 14-17 MSU team. He did not sign with an agent and withdrew from the draft last week after being told he was at best a late-first-round pick.

“He was just never in a happy place,” Webster told the Clarion-Ledger. “People were proud he was going to Mississippi State. People knew Malik had the Magic Johnson smile and he was happy and basketball was his life. I think in a sense some of that was taken away. I’m not saying that Ben (Howland, coach) took Please see NEWMAN , page 3D

Scrambling to find a coach to lead its football program through a tumultuous time, Baylor hired a man known for turnarounds and integrity. Former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe will replace Art Briles, Baylor announced Monday. Grobe was named acting coach, with no mention of how long of a contract he will receive. A little more than an hour after Grobe’s hiring was made official, Baylor announced that athletic director Ian McCaw had resigned, severing another tie with the sexual-assault scandal that has tarnished the school’s reputation.

OKLAHOMA CITY’S DION WAITERS (3) DRIVES TO THE BASKET as he commits an offensive foul on Golden State’s Stephen Curry, bottom right, during the first half of the Warriors’ 96-88 victory in Game 7 of their Western Conference finals series on Monday in Oakland, Calif.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Warriors return to Finals

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — MVP Stephen Curry knocked down yet another three-pointer in the waning moments, pulled his jersey up into his mouth and yelled to the rafters in triumph once more. A special, record-setting season saved for the defending champs, with a memorable comeback added to the long list of accomplishments. Splash Brothers Curry and Klay Thompson carried the 73win Warriors right back to the NBA Finals, as Golden State rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 96-88 on Monday night in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals. Now, Curry and Co. are playing for another NBA title — just as they planned since Day 1 of training camp in late September. Bring on LeBron James once more.

They return to the NBA Finals for a rematch with James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost the 2015 title in six games as Golden State captured its first championship in 40 years. Game 1 is Thursday night in Oakland.

the Sharks tied it in the second period on goals by Tomas Hertl and Patrick Marleau. The Penguins responded by upping the pressure in the final period and it paid off with Bonino’s fourth goal of the playoffs after he darted to the San Jose net in time to knuckle Letang’s pass by Jones for the winner. Game 2 is Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. Matt Murray finished with 24 saves for Pittsburgh, which began its bid for the fourth title in franchise history by peppering Jones constantly in the first

Austin, Texas — Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball history, is out after 20 seasons at Texas. The decision Monday comes after the Longhorns’ first losing season since 1998. Texas will miss the NCAA postseason for the third time in five years. The university said in a statement Monday the 77-year-old Garrido was “relinquishing his duties” as coach and will become special assistant to athletic director Mike Perrin. Garrido, who had one year left on a contract that paid him nearly $1.1 million, had said he wouldn’t resign and wanted to stay. “Augie has long been among the best coaches in college athletics, an exceptional developer of young men, great leader and tremendous representative of our university,” Perrin said. “I have deep appreciation, admiration and gratitude for all that he has accomplished in his 20 years leading our baseball program.” Garrido had 1,975 victories dating back to 1969 to go along with five College World Series titles. Three came with Cal-State Fullerton, 1979, 1984 and 1995, and the last two with Texas, in 2002 and 2005. Texas this season finished 25-32. The Longhorns advanced deep into the weekend’s Big 12 Tournament but ended the season with an 8-2 loss to TCU. Florida State coach Mike Martin called Garrido an “icon.” “I am surprised he has stepped down, but he’s a guy a lot of young coaches got information from,” Martin said in a statement. “He’s a good man.” Garrido will be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in July. He was the first coach to reach 1,900 wins and needed just 25 to reach 2,000. He also was honored six times as national coach of the year. Garrido’s coaching career included jobs at San Francisco State (1969), Cal Poly (1970-72), Fullerton (1973-87 and 1991-96) and Illinois (1988-91).

and final periods. Jones made 38 stops but couldn’t get his blocker on Bonino’s wrist shot. The Penguins threw 41 shots at Jones, well over the 28 he faced on average during San Jose’s playoff run. The Sharks made it to the first Stanley Cup Final in franchise history by rebuilding themselves on the fly. Two years removed from a brutal collapse from a 3-0 series lead in the first round against Los Angeles, San Jose ended a 9,005 day wait to play in the NHL’s championship round.

Everybody played a part in it.” Newman showed signs of greatness on various occasions, scoring 25 points off 7-of-10 three-point shooting against Mississippi State. Newman played in Kansas City last season, scoring 18 points in a 71-67 loss at UMKC. “I really hope his time at Mississippi State is going to help him moving forward in terms of the areas that’s he’s going to get better at to really help him reach his full potential as a player,” Howland told The Clarion-Ledger. “Bottom line is Malik and his dad feel like it’s better for him if they come back to school and attend elsewhere.” Newman is one of three former high school standouts looking for a new home.

Comcast Sports Net reports the 6-7 Greene will work out for the Toronto Raptors today and later the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks. Former KU forward Perry Ellis was one of 12 to work out for the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

KANSAS CITY’S JARROD DYSON SLIDES SAFELY INTO THIRD BASE during the fifth inning of the Royals’ 6-2 victory over the Rays on Monday in Kansas City, Mo.

Hosmer sparks K.C. Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Late-inning rallies are becoming the trademark for the Kansas City Royals. Eric Hosmer hit a three-run homer after Lorenzo Cain drove in the go-ahead run in a fourrun eighth inning, and the Royals defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Monday night. The Royals have won four straight, matching their season best streak, and have scored 19 runs after the sixth innings in those victories. “Good teams at the end of the game find ways to do it,” Hosmer said. “We’ve been really doing it a lot of different ways, finding a way each and every night.” Cain’s single scored Alcides Escobar with the first run of the inning before Hosmer took a pitch from Erasmo Ramirez (63) deep to right-center for his 10th home run. Hosmer has 10 RBIs in the first four games of this homestand. “Cain took a good protective swing,” Ramirez said. “He got good contact there through the right side. I made a high pitch to a great hitter like Hosmer, so he just made me pay about it. So, now I can do nothing about it.” Kelvin Herrera (1-1) blew the save, allowing a run in the eighth, but he picked up the victory. Steve Pearce scored from second on an infield single by Steven Souza Jr. to tie it at 2.

Royals starter Ian Kennedy walked a seasonhigh five, including the bases loaded in the fifth, but limited the Rays to three singles and one unearned run over six innings. He has allowed two or fewer runs in eight of his 10 starts, lowering his ERA to 3.03. Kennedy retired Logan Morrison on a pop up to shortstop Escobar to end the fifth. Kennedy also es-

caped a bases loaded jam in a 29-pitch first inning when he walked two. He struck out Souza looking to end the inning. Rays right-hander Matt Andriese allowed two runs and five hits over seven innings. Kendrys Morales walked with one out in the Royals’ second. Paulo Orlando, who had two hits and is batting a major league-leading .441 in May, doubled, moving Morales to third, where he scored on Cheslor Cuthbert’s groundout. The Rays tied it with an unearned run in the fourth. Morrison led off with a single, stole second, took third on catcher Drew Butera’s throwing error and scored on Corey Dickerson’s groundout to second baseman Whit Merrifield. Jarrod Dyson produced a run with his feet in fifth. Dyson singled to center and when Desmond Jennings had difficulties picking up the ball, Dyson motored to second, just beating the throw. Dyson stole third and when catcher Hank Conger’s throw landed in left field he trotted home. “They probably felt I wasn’t going,” Dyson said. “A 3-1 count is a fastball count. I picked a good spot to go. Catcher come up, tried to fire it, rushed his throw and the ball ended up in the outfield. I get up and score easily.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Harvey, Mets blank Chisox The Associated Press

Interleague Mets 1, White Sox 0 New York — Matt Harvey rediscovered his form with seven dominant innings of two-hit ball, Neil Walker homered off Jose Quintana, and the Mets sent the reeling White Sox to their seventh straight loss. Harvey (4-7) has been one of baseball’s biggest puzzles, transforming from a premier pitcher to baffled ballplayer. With both teams wearing special Memorial Day uniforms with camouflage lettering and trim, Harvey struck out six and walked two to win for the first time since May 8. His fastball velocity was up markedly, and he threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes. Addison Reed struck out two in a perfect eighth. After wasting a four-run lead in the Mets’ win over Los Angeles on Friday and giving up a pair of ninth-inning runs in Sunday’s loss to the Dodgers, Jeurys Familia got three straight outs to remain perfect in 17 save chances. He has converted 33 consecutive save opportunities dating to last season.
