An ash tree epidemic City implementing up to 10-year plan to fight insects By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Language barrier can sometimes slow down legal system By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

On Thursday, Navinkumar Patel, accused of stabbing his wife last summer at a Lawrence motel, pleaded no contest to felony charges of attempted second-degree murder and criminal threats. Thursday was the court’s fourth attempt to hear Patel’s plea after his first plea hearing in late January was rescheduled because of a language barrier. Patel, a native of India, speaks Gujarati and requires an interpreter to translate court proceedings. A third attempt on the plea from Patel in late February was also pushed back because his attorney, John Kerns, said he needed more time Patel to work with his client and the interpreter had limited availability. Douglas County District Court often requires the use of interpreters, said Court Administrator Linda Koester-Vogelsang. More often than not the court needs someone to translate court proceedings to and from Spanish, but it’s not unheard of for less common languages to need translating. Please see LANGUAGE, page 4A

Lecompton man refuses to surrender to incurable brain condition By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Experience has taught Ron Collette that life is easier when he carries a cane. It’s not that the Lecompton resident needs one to get around. He is proud that at 58 years old he is eight years beyond a doctor’s prediction of the age at which he would be permanently dependent on a wheelchair. The cane serves as a visual cue to others that his unsteady gait is not what it might seem to be. “I had an officer try to write me up for DUI,” he said. “He saw me at a gas pump and followed me into the store.

Man considers digging up second sunken steamship muddy Wyandotte County field. The same dig today would cost between $2 million and $3 million, Hawley said. The Malta was coowned by the Chouteaus, an early 19th century fur-trading family that used such ships on the Missouri River to supply their traders with the manufactured goods, which they used to trade for furs. If the Malta was heading upriver when it sank, it would have included manufactured goods similar to the Arabia cargo, he said. But if it was headed back down the Missouri River, it might be filled only with animal skins. “Buffalo hides,” said Hawley. “I’m not sure people will want to go to a buffalo hide museum.” A drilling in January produced a piece of blue and red wool, which could be the kind of manufactured cloth that 19th century American Indians on the upper Missouri River used. If Hawley finds more of that kind of material, it could convince him and his partners to proceed; he said they’ll decide by April.

Camping package new to Flint Hills event Elmdale — Well-heeled patrons can sign up for a luxury, weekend-long encampment when the Kansas City Symphony makes its annual journey to the Flint Hills. The “Out of Africa” experience will run $5,000 per couple, The Kansas City Star reported. Up to 20 15-foot, air-conditioned tents will be erected in a remote prairie a few miles from the concert site near the Chase County town of Clements. The all-inclusive camping experience will begin on Friday, June 10 and wrap up that Sunday. Lodging is an ongoing challenge for the event, which each year draws 7,000 people to an area where accommodations are few. Symphony in the Flint Hills’ website says $1,500 of the price will be a taxdeductible donation to “heighten appreciation for the tallgrass prairie.” Randy Wolf and John O’Brien of Kansas City, Mo., will outfit the tents with queen-size beds.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — A man whose family turned the recovery of an 1850s sunken steamboat into a successful Kansas City museum is pondering whether he and his partners want to dig up another steamship. David Hawley and his partners have been investigating a site 80 miles east of Kansas City for three years, convinced they have found the Malta, a steamship that sank in the Missouri River in 1841, The Kansas City Star reported. The Malta would add artifacts from a different decade to the Steamboat Arabia Museum, but the risk, he says, is not knowing whether the ship carried cargo that would be interesting enough to attract more museum visitors. In the 1980s, Hawley, his family and others recovered the Arabia, which sank near Parkville in 1856. They opened the museum in 1991 to display some of the ship’s nearly 200 tons of cargo. About 80,000 people visit the museum every year. His family spent about $750,000 to dig up the Arabia from a

their eggs onto ash trees through the summer months. The larvae feed under the bark, making Sshaped channels that stop the flow of nutrients. “So, basically, the tree dies of starvation,” Miles said. “It can’t get water; it can’t get nutrients.” Kim Bomberger, with the Kansas Forestry Service, was in Lawrence all last week mentoring the city’s Parks and Rec employees on their first step in dealing with the insect: creating an inventory of every ash tree. So far, estimates show there are about 3,200 publicly owned and managed ash trees in Lawrence, but it’s possible there are thousands more. Over the next eight years, the city’s total cost of treating, removing and replacing those trees will reach higher than $3 million — if city leaders decide every year on the same financing strategy approved Tuesday. There were questions from commissioners on whether all or any of the money was really needed right away, and whether it was possible to stretch dollars across a longer period of time: instead of an eight-year combat plan, could the city do a 25-year plan, for instance. Miles, Bomberger and a handful of other Parks and Rec staff told commissioners if they wanted to save any of the trees before they all die simultaneously, they must start treatment this spring. “The thing I want to encourage us to think about is if we do nothing, they’re all going to die, and we’re going to have to cut them all down,” Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Mark Hecker said. “The appearance of the city is going to be very, very, very, very noticeable. If we don’t deal with them quickly, we’ll have a little bit of a public outcry on this.” The commission ended up voting in favor of the department’s recommended plan: to hire additional full-time and part-time staff to help with the years-long process of phasing out ash trees and introducing different species. Wood from the removed trees will be taken to the landfill, Hecker said. The county is in a quarantine and can’t send infected wood to any counties west of Douglas County. Counties to the east have already been infected. As the infestation becomes more widespread

AN ADULT SAMPLE OF THE EMERALD ASH BORER, left, is displayed next to an emerald ash borer larvae. The larvae of the insect is known for killing ash trees by tunneling and feeding under the bark.

KU’S PLAN In a tree inventory in 2014, Kansas University counted 250 ash trees on its campus. According to the university’s management plan for the emerald ash borer infestation, KU identified 20 “iconic,” “majestic” trees it wants to treat immediately. Trees will be removed as KU’s design and construction management division spots signs of infestation. Most of the ash trees on campus will be removed and replaced over the next five years. An annual budget of $43,000 has been proposed. That amount includes the funds to remove 25 trees per year and plant 50. in the next few years, the anticipated costs per year increase up to $500,000. The funding each year will have to be voted on during the city’s budget cycle. “I’m a little bit concerned putting good money after something we can’t control,” Mayor Mike Amyx said at the meeting. “I think there’s a lot of people, including myself, who take great pride in the canopy we have over the city, though. You’re not known as tree city for not having trees.” The funds approved Tuesday will also be used for public outreach. Ash trees, a popular tree for landscaping in the 1980s and ’90s, dot the yards of Lawrence residents, who will also have to deal with the issue, either by letting the trees die and removing them or attempting to treat them. The city will be setting up a website about the emerald ash borer infestation to direct people toward information and services for handling the problem. The emerald ash borer isn’t visible, but early symptoms are trees with dead branches near the top or leafy shoots growing from the trunk. Hecker said the insect

has been found in the county and “it’s probably progressed further than we actually know.” Some trees won’t be worth saving, Bomberger said, because of their age or their condition before the beetle even strikes. “I was out in your town today, and I’m seeing a lot of stressed ash trees,” Bomberger said. “Of the 10 we got inputted today, probably 80 percent were stressed.” On Friday morning, Miles and Mike Perryman, Lawrence’s lead forester, inventoried some trees in Prairie Park. Five other crews spread across the city last week, counting the ash trees in the hope the department could finish this summer. City commissioners tasked staff with bringing them a more accurate tree count and overall cost estimate by Labor Day. Near an ash tree in the southwest corner of the Prairie Park parking lot, Perryman took out a mobile device to input the tree’s condition and other characteristics, including its diameter. “We’re adding it to this unit, and we’ll bring it back to the office and download it into the inventory system,” Perryman said. This tree, overall, was “good,” Miles said. It was well watered, and it’s a desirable size at 11 inches in diameter. Trees between 8 and 20 inches are considered candidates for treatment. They’ll undergo biannual injections until they’re eventually removed and replaced. “These trees, environmentally, are making the biggest carbon footprint,” Miles said, while wrapping a tape measure around it. “They’ve got the most foliage on them; they’re giving you CO2 exchanges the best. They’re actively growing; they have a lot of life left in them.” “It’s a lot of money,” Miles said about the cost to save the trees. “But golly, it’s worth it to keep the environmental benefits going.” — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

‘A great choice for the award’

Girl’s health improves after move to Colorado By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

After just a few days in Colorado, a 3-year-old girl and her family are doing much better — even though they technically don’t have a home right now. Valkyrie and Mitch Schmidt, of Lawrence, uprooted their lives last week to move to Colorado Springs, Colo., in hopes that medicinal

marijuana could save their daughter’s life. Emelyse Schmidt, 3, suffers from several serious health conditions including two seizure disorders — epileptic encephalopathy and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome — and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

United Way honors Meals on Wheels volunteer for outstanding service By Christie Cline

About this story

United Way of Douglas County

Gloria Eberle has seen firsthand the extraordinary impact that volunteering one’s time can have. Recently, Eberle, eager to share the rewards of volunteering, invited some teenage neighbors to join her on her regular route with Lawrence Meals on Wheels, delivering food to the homebound elderly or disabled who are unable to prepare their own meals. “The first time my friends went out to help me deliver meals inside the house, seeing the expressions on their faces was really great,” Eberle said. “They came out with their shoulders lifted a little higher and huge smiles on their faces. To me, that’s just wonderful.” It’s Eberle’s dedication to bettering the lives of fellow community members that earned her the 2015 United Way Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer Award. Established in 1985, the Wallace

Christie Cline is a communications intern with the United Way of Douglas County, which provides occasional features spotlighting local volunteers and charities supported by the United Way. Galluzzi Award has been presented annually to community members who demonstrate outstanding volunteerism. “I’m still in awe that I was selected,” Eberle said. “It’s an honor to receive something that prestigious for just doing what I enjoy.” Eberle began volunteering for United Way 20 years ago, serving as the internal campaign coordinator for Black Hills Energy, where she helps to raise awareness and funding for United Way’s projects. After discovering her passion

for volunteering, Eberle started taking advantage of the learning opportunities United Way had to offer, and went on multiple agency tours to learn about the different programs that the agency helps fund. Since then, Eberle has been an integral part of a number of United Way’s campaigns. “It makes me feel fulfilled, like I’m doing something of worth,” Eberle said. Recently, Eberle took a leadership role in organizing one of her favorite events: the Back to School Book Drive. “She really brought her organizational skills, combined with her desire to help people, to execute a really successful event,” said Colleen Gregoire, United Way of Douglas County’s vice president and director of resource development. “We really felt like she was a great choice for the Galluzzi award.” — Christie Cline is a communications intern with United Way of Douglas County.

City may adjust views on bike lanes

n case you haven’t noticed, biking in Lawrence is a big deal. We have a bike repair station outside City Hall, we soon will have bike parking corrals on Massachusetts Street, and most public buildings have those fancy bike paddles in their lobby.

Testimony to start in quadruple murder

Language

Ottawa — Jurors are scheduled to hear testimony in the trial of an eastern Kansas man accused of killing four people, including an 18-month-old girl. The Kansas City Star reports opening statements start today in the capital murder trial of 30-yearold Kyle Flack, who is charged with killing 31-year-old Flack Kaylie Bailey and her infant daughter, Lana, on May 1, 2013. He also is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the shotgun deaths of 30-year-old Andrew Stout and 31-year-old Steven White, who were killed days earlier. The three adults were found at a farmhouse outside Ottawa, and the baby was found a week later inside a suitcase floating in a rural creek. The trial in Franklin County District Court in Ottawa is expected to last several weeks.

“We have had occasions where it has been extremely difficult to find somebody,” Koester-Vogelsang said. Several years ago one person in court spoke only Mixtec, a native language of Mexico, Koester-Vogelsang said. To ensure the case went smoothly took a bit of creative thinking. “To find a certified interpreter was incredibly difficult,” she said. “We finally found somebody in California.” The final solution required two interpreters, one to translate from Mixtec to Spanish and another to translate from Spanish to English and vice versa, Koester-Vogelsang said. But these types of situations are less common. The court’s need for interpreters can be somewhat sporadic, KoesterVogelsang said. And the need might arise for any type of legal situation. “I can’t say really how

protector taken away. But that’s what happened earlier this week. A road project — one that has been billed as a showcase for future road design, nonetheless — has been proposed to not have bike lanes. As we have reported, the citizens advisory committee for the East Ninth Street arts corridor project has recommended a design that includes an 8-foot shared-use path, but no bike lanes. The architect for the project told the group a shared-use path could accommodate bicyclists just fine, and by eliminating bike lanes there would be more green space and less concrete as part of the project. Makes sense. Also makes you wonder whether Lawrence planners will adopt that attitude on other projects. Take a look at the proposed Kasold Drive project, for example.

LAWRENCE • STATE many times a week,” she said. “Sometimes it’s multiple times a day, and other times it’s every other day or once a week.” When the need for an interpreter arises, the court reaches out to several resources in the area to find a suitable candidate, KoesterVogelsang said. Kansas University is often a good place to start, but other local companies or agencies can help fill the position. Local court rules generally pay $35 an hour for an interpreter, KoesterVogelsang said. Those rates can vary or carry an hourly minimum, especially if the interpreter is coming from out of town. The court’s need for interpreters isn’t limited to spoken languages; another common need comes from those who are deaf or hard of hearing and need to communicate in sign language, said Robert Cooper, executive director for the Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. “You’d be surprised

her short lifetime. In January, Emelyse’s tonsils were removed — a surgery that her parents thought would be a relatively simple overnight visit. But it resulted in a nearly three-week stay at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., during which Emelyse slept almost constantly, suffered more seizure activity and began to develop pancreatitis because of one of her seizure medications. Doctors sent the family home on Feb. 9, instructing her parents to make her comfortable. “They sent us home telling us, ‘There’s nothing we’re doing here that you can’t do at home,’” Mitch said on Feb. 14. With no more alternatives, the Schmidts focused on their last hope: Emelyse’s primary neurologist had told them he believed her seizure conditions made her a good candidate for cannabis oil. With help from Meg Heriford, owner of Ladybird Diner, the family raised enough money to get a moving truck, pack up and head west across the state line, where Emelyse could legally be treated with medicinal marijuana. So far, it looks as though it was worth it.

“Emelyse has been doing really well, actually. … Today, all day she’s been very happy, very energetic,” Valkyrie said Saturday. Emelyse has started on small doses of a hemp oil called Haleigh’s Hope, based on the recommendation of many other patient families and the resources they’ve compiled from their experience. They also visited Cohen Medical Centers in Denver so doctors could sign off on Emelyse’s medical marijuana card and certify her parents as caregivers. Valkyrie said doctors immediately recognized that Emelyse needed the treatment and said they would do what they could to expedite the process. “It was very cool and very validating having doctors be so upfront about it,” Valkyrie said. Emelyse has had a couple of seizures since the move, Valkyrie said, but fortunately her new medicine has helped with that as well. “We’ve given her a rescue dose of the medical marijuana in her mouth and it’s stopped her seizures, so it’s already proving effective,” Valkyrie said. In the past, Emelyse has been prescribed a medication called Diastat, a gel suppository form of diazepam — also known as valium — that is administered rectally. However,

Ten feet of bike lanes for six blocks long is not an insignificant amount of concrete. The amount of money it takes to pour that concrete is not insignificant. Since 2013, the city has spent $1.3 million building bike lanes, according to city figures. Since that same time the city also has spent about $1.7 million building shared-use paths. As the Kasold project demonstrates, sometimes the city proposes building both along the same stretch of street. The city now is beginning to hear from its engineers how they’re struggling to keep up with street maintenance costs because of a slowdown in funding. (More on that another day.) It all seems to create the question of whether the city ought to tweak its philosophy on bike lanes? If the city decided to stop the practice of creating bike lanes and shared-use paths on the same project, it wouldn’t come without complaint. Marilyn Hull, who is the chair of the city’s pedestrian-bicycle task force, told me there are bicyclists who feel that bike lanes on the street allow bicyclists to be more visible and thus safer. “In a perfect world, there probably would be

both,” Hull said of bike lanes and shared-use paths. But Hull also noted that she is personally fine with the recommendation to remove the bike lanes from the East Ninth Street project in East Lawrence. She is a big fan of shared-use paths. “Some of the biking improvements that have been done in the city previously have mainly benefited confident, adult bicyclists,” Hull said. “That is fine, but what I’m interested in is getting more people of all types out on bikes.” There are many bicyclists who just don’t feel that confident in a bike lane with only a white line separating them from vehicular traffic. Sometimes, of course, a bike lane is the only real option for making a street bicycle-friendly. There is just not room for a shareduse path to run alongside the street. But there may be more options than you would think. Many times when a street is rebuilt in Lawrence, the sidewalks along the street also get rebuilt. Would the city be well-served in trying to figure out how to retrofit sidewalks into shared use paths rather than retrofitting streets with bike lanes? In other

how often it happens. I’d say about five times a week we get a call,” Cooper said. “We are the central finding place; we help make references ... We check the interpreter’s certification, put them on our list and that list is given to the courthouse and they pick or choose the interpreter.” While some longtime American Sign Language, or ASL, interpreters are locally certified and grandfathered into their position, all newcomers must be nationally certified, Cooper said. The certification process takes nearly a decade. Generally speaking, an ASL interpreter needs two years of experience before he or she is accepted into a four-year bachelor degree program, Cooper said. After they earn their degrees, they must complete three years’ worth of interpreter training and a final examination before they earn their certification. “The job of an interpreter is not an easy job,” Cooper said. “It requires

It’s really challenging, and you really have to be bilingual.” Currently there are around 240 certified ASL interpreters in the state of Kansas, Cooper said. On average they can earn $50 an hour, but those rates can vary as well. Alongside District Court, the Lawrence Police Department has a need for interpreters several times a month as well, said Sgt. Trent McKinley. For the most part the department uses a telephone language line that charges an average of $1 a minute, McKinley said. These phone calls are generally used for in-thefield situations like car stops or interviews. “We use them frequently for English to Spanish translations, but have also used them in cases of individuals who spoke languages such as Korean and Arabic,” McKinley wrote in an email. The department also offers a cash incentive for prospective

EMELYSE SCHMIDT, 3, IS SHOWN SUNDAY in Colorado Springs, Colo., her new home. Pikes Peak is faintly visible in the background. Valkyrie said they don’t know if it is actually effective in bringing Emelyse out of seizures because anytime they’ve given it to her, the pain from the dose “shakes her out of it.” “This is definitely much more positive — and in my opinion, safe — evidence showing that it is effective and that it is working for her,” Valkyrie said. In the meantime, the Schmidts are looking to resolve their home situation. At first, Valkyrie said, the move was going smoothly. But upon a walkthrough of the apartment they were planning to rent, they discovered roaches — everywhere. “So we’re kind of in a mad dash to find a place now,” she said. Fortunately for the Schmidts, a mother who has been in a very similar situation has opened her home to them. Jennie Stormes, whose son

Jackson Stormes suffers from a type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome, has taken the family in for now. She has also introduced them to a number of other families who have relocated from homes all over the country for the same reason the Schmidts did. These fellow “marijuana refugee” families have been great resources, Valkyrie said. “It’s really nice because we’re not the first generation of people coming here who just kind of pioneered it,” she said. “We’re definitely getting a lot of evidence and information from them as far as what we should do and things we can try.” Their new friends have also helped soften the blow of leaving everything behind. “Even though we’re experiencing a lot of homesickness, and a lot

words, would it be better for the city to take a 6-foot sidewalk and make it 8 feet and call it a shareduse path rather than trying to add 10 feet of bike lanes to a street? (To be fair, it is not a one-to-one savings. Sometimes when the city adds a bike lane it doesn’t actually increase the width of the street by the full 10 feet, for example. Sometimes it just reduces the width of the vehicular lanes.) I don’t have a pocket protector, so I’m not very qualified to say what is the best path forward for the city. I’m sure there is a lot that would need to go into that analysis, but it seems like a conversation perhaps worth having. As I have said before, I’m not anti-bike lanes. But I do think Lawrence is in a transitional period right now when it comes to transportation planning. The future is cloudy about what role motorized vehicles will play in the future and how much pedestrian and bicycling activity really will increase. As Lawrence builds it roads today, it is making assumptions about how they will be used in the future. If the assumptions don’t end up being correct, they’ll be expensive to fix. In other news and notes from around town:

l One more piece of bike news while we are on the topic: The city is set to conduct a $50,000 study to determine whether a bike-sharing program would be feasible in Lawrence. At their Tuesday meeting, city commissioners will be asked to approve a $40,000 grant and $10,000 in local funding to pay for a study to determine whether a program that allows people to pick up bikes and use them when needed would be a valuable transportation service in Lawrence. The goal of the program would be to increase access to bicycles for transportation, promote healthy living, increase bicycle visibility, reduce the community’s carbon footprint and improve

employees who are fluent in Spanish, McKinley said. Currently the department employs about 10 officers who are fluent in Spanish, McKinley said. These officers are often called by others to help in interviews or investigations. For longer court proceedings administrators will try to find an interpreter who can come to each appearance to create a sense of consistency for everyone involved, Koester-Vogelsang said. For Patel’s two most recent court appearances he was joined by interpreter Rasila Thakur, although it was not immediately clear whether she would be present for subsequent appearances. Patel is scheduled to appear in court at 2:30 p.m. May 6, when the results of his pre-sentence investigation and courtordered mental health evaluation will be considered. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284 or cswanson@ljworld.com.

of missing our family and friends, we’re definitely getting situated in terms of community, and we really feel the love here, almost as much as we did in Lawrence,” Valkyrie said. There’s one more real struggle: So far, Valkyrie and Mitch concurred, they can’t find food as good as what’s available in downtown Lawrence. The mountain views help to compensate a bit, but Lawrence was truly home. “We would’ve stayed if this (treatment for Emelyse) was legal,” Mitch said. Valkyrie said she hopes Kansas laws will someday change to allow medicinal marijuana. She would love to be able to move back. “Even if Kansas doesn’t get it together but this still works for (Emelyse) and she’s happy here, then we’re happy,” Valkyrie said. “It’s all about her.” And the family will be forever grateful to everyone who donated to help them embark on this mission. “We can’t express our gratitude enough to everyone in Lawrence and everywhere else who have gotten together to help save our baby,” Valkyrie said. “It means literally the world, everything, to us. … I know we’ve got a lot of people praying for her, and that means a lot.” — Reporter Mackenzie Clark can be reached at 832-7198 or mclark@ljworld.com.

access to public transit, according to a city memo. Certainly there are several cities that have bikeshare programs, although they are not abundant in the Midwest. Kansas City, Mo., though, has one. According to its website, kansascity.bcycle.com, it has 27 bikes that serve downtown, Westport, the Country Club Plaza, 18th and Vine and the Trolley Track Trail. Rates start at $3 per half-hour. The last I knew, there were some private businesses in Lawrence that would rent bikes, especially a couple near the Kansas River levee trail in North Lawrence. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

he learned his cerebellum was gradually dying. Located behind the brain stem where the spinal cord meets the brain, the cerebellum coordinates speech, balance, walking and other voluntary motor skills. It’s a rare condition — so rare Ron’s was only one of 15 such cases in the United States when he received his diagnosis. Denise said her husband does share characteristics of those who have MS or Parkinson’s disease or who have had strokes. Doctors haven’t been able to tell Ron what caused the condition. It could be genetic or the result of an injury, although the Collettes can think of no injury Ron suffered that would have led to the condition. Like his children, Ron was an athlete in high school. It was only after he graduated that he started noticing a loss of coordination. At first, the cause of his stumbles were thought to be related to a vision condition. But a surgery to correct the crossing of his eyes didn’t stop the coordination issues. Further testing led to the cerebellar atrophy diagnosis in 1984 from the same doctor who told him he would be confined to a wheelchair by age 50. That doctor didn’t know his patient, said the Collettes’ neighbor Bill Leslie. “I’ll tell you he’s not going to give up,” the 89-year-old retired farmer said. “I see him out there mowing his lawn and walking.” Ron visits him once a week, Leslie said. “We cheer each other up,” he said. “I tease him, and he teases me.”

Community support Leslie is part of the Lecompton support network that has helped Ron cope with and fight his condition. Each Wednesday, he joins friends for a noon luncheon at a Lecompton restaurant. “I appreciate everything they give,” he said. “If they don’t hear from me for two days, they are calling. I can’t say enough about the support I get from Lecompton.” Some of his luncheon friends go back to Ron’s school days. They remember many details of his high school years and his athletic career better than he does. “I can remember being an athlete but nothing about what I did,” he said. “I remember very little about my childhood. When my brother and sisters bring up a story, I remember it happened, but not the details. I can remember a year ago, but that’s as far as I can remember.” His muscle memory is even worse. “If you put me in bed for two weeks, that would be it,” he said. “I’d never walk again.” One thing he does recall vividly is losing his job in 1991 as a fuel superintendent at the Lawrence KP&L power plant. His job required operation of heavy equipment and climbing about on the plant’s catwalks. “They said I was a safety risk,” he said. “I fought it. I was not ready to quit. That was a dramatic time. I will remember that.” The action came before

I’d never walk again.” — Ron Collette passage of current federal disability laws, which would have required his employer to find Ron another position, Denise said. Once he was on disability, Denise got a job and now works 10-hour shifts, four days a week in Topeka. “When she got a job, our roles changed,” Ron said. “I became the homemaker, and she was the breadwinner. Our kids accepted Dad would be at home.” It speaks to the strength of their marriage that Denise also accepted her new role. That was made easier by Ron’s embrace of his role in their partnership. He does all the housework, washes dishes and cooks, in addition to caring for the lawn, Denise said. Denise is also a partner in Ron’s battle against his condition. The two take frequent walks as Denise provides needed encouragement. “My wife helps me out big time,” Ron said. “I would not be around if not for her.” Ron remains very independent and still drives. He enjoys going to malls and stores to walk. One of his favorite haunts is a Dillons store in west Lawrence. “I get a grocery cart and follow it all around the store,” he said. “They all know me in there.” In addition to this housework, Ron dedicates time every day for therapy. “He didn’t start doing therapy until 12 years ago,” Denise said. “At that point, they were trying to retrain the brain to get other parts to take over. That’s still the plan.” Denise said she thought Ron was doing that on his own through his persistence in staying active and walking. He is now just as dedicated to his daily exercise routines, particularly those that strengthen his legs. He does his exercises early, because each day is a race against the clock, Ron said. “My best time is when I get up in the morning,” he said. “From about noon on, it’s down hill. I hate seeing night come.” Ron’s response to the absence of natural light is not unlike what’s called sundowner syndrome among those with Alzheimer’s or dementia who get more confused and agitated at sunset. In Ron’s case, he gets weaker, particularly in his legs, and fatigued, Denise said. Despite his stubborn fight against its encroachments, the illness is gradually stealing Ron’s strength, Denise said. “We do a lot of walks,” she said. “It used to be easy for him to do 3 or 4 miles. Now, he can’t do 3 miles all the way.” Even the determined Ron doesn’t deny what’s ahead. “There will come a time I’m in a wheelchair,” he said. “I try to stay active as long as I can. I’m going to prolong it as long as possible.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ljworld.com.

Kansas caucuses: 5 things we learned A

fter Saturday’s caucuses and primaries in Kansas and a few other states, major national news organizations had almost instantaneous analysis, some of which was pretty good. On the Republican side, Sen. Ted Cruz, who won Kansas by more than a two-to-one margin, clearly emerged as a credible threat to Donald Trump, although it’s too soon to completely write off Marco Rubio. John Kasich, on the other hand, might want to think about angling to be somebody’s vice president. And for Democrats, the conventional wisdom seems to be that nothing Bernie Sanders does will ever be good enough. Despite his wins in small, predominantly white states like Kansas and Nebraska (and his home state of Vermont), Hillary Clinton showed in Louisiana that she is still a dominant force in large states with substantial minority populations. And that will count for a lot down the road in places like New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California. Closer to home, though, I’ve been sifting through the vote totals and recalling the dozens of conversations I’ve had with voters in both parties’ caucuses in Douglas County, and here are my top five takeaways from the process:

1. Kansas caucus-goers are not very moderate. It’s often said that primary elections bring out only the most passionate and motivated of voters, which results in the election of officeholders who are more extreme than the people they represent. Caucuses, even more so. Well, Kansas just proved that in spades by picking the single most conservative Republican in the field, and probably the single most liberal Democrat to come along since Eugene McCarthy. That’s nothing new for Kansas Republicans, whose last two picks were Rick Santorum in 2012 and Mike Huckabee in 2008. Kansas Democrats, though, have done this only once before, in 2008, when they backed Barack Obama by wide margins. Obama was unchallenged for the renomination in 2012. It’s important to remember that highturnout, competitive caucus races in Kansas are a relatively new thing. Before 2008, both parties here, and especially the Democrats, were content to stay out of the fray and let party leaders choose delegates themselves, and those leaders would often wait until the national race was already decided.

which was still 69 percent of the total, indicating just how few Democratic voters there are out there. The Wichita-centered 4th District gave him 6,588, or 71 percent of the total. On the Republican side, Cruz did best in the 4th District, the only district where he won an outright majority, 58 percent. But that came from 7,963 ballots, fewer votes than Sanders got in the 2nd and 3rd districts. Elsewhere, Cruz received only a plurality of votes: 49 percent in the 1st District; 46 percent in the 2nd District; and 38 percent in the 3rd District. Out west, Republican caucus-goers outnumbered Democratic voters by more than four to one: 24,061 to 5,907. Not so in the 2nd and 3rd districts, however, where the numbers were quite a bit closer to each other, although GOP voters still outnumbered Democratic voters by substantial margins. But wait until the end of this column before reading too much into that.

3. Endorsements don’t matter as much as grass-roots organizing. Marco Rubio barnstormed Kansas the day before the caucus, carrying a list of endorsements from elected Republican officials as long as your arm, including Gov. Sam Brownback and U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts. He finished a distant third, with only 17 percent of the vote. Likewise, Hillary Clinton had endorsements from many notable Kansas Democrats, including former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and former state party chairwoman Joan Wagnon. She finished with only 32 percent of the vote. What Sanders and Cruz both had, stretching back months before the caucuses, were grass-roots organizations working on their behalf. Anybody who had driven around Lawrence counting yard signs, bumper stickers and lapel buttons should have seen from a mile away that Sanders had the bigger base of support here. The only question was whether the millennial generation voters would actually turn out for caucuses the same way 18- to 24-yearold voters did eight years ago for Obama. They did. Similarly, Cruz had 2.

frustrating. I was a bit surprised by the number of Republican voters at Southwest Middle School who openly expressed utter frustration at the whole process: the amount of time they spent listening to speeches; the long lines of people waiting just to get checked in. And all that on a Saturday, when busy people with busy lives have a multitude of other chores to do as well. But that was nothing compared to the ordeal Democrats went through. At Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, the line to get inside the building and get checked in stretched out the door and around the block on both sides. By 3 p.m., when people were supposed to be in place already, there were still scores of people in line waiting to get in. And inside the building it was even worse, with hundreds upon hundreds of people packed into both gymnasiums, with no airconditioning or ventilation running, where they sat — or in most cases, stood — for hours waiting to be counted. There were so many people there that hundreds more had to park themselves outside on the school’s track and field area waiting to be counted. Fortunately, it was a lovely day, so the people outside were generally having a good time. But imagine if it had been raining, or even snowing.

campaign here. It shouldn’t escape notice that Sanders campaigned here twice, albeit once a couple of miles on the other side of the state line. Still, a lot of Sanders supporters from as far away as Lawrence and Topeka made their way into Kansas City, Mo., for his first appearance. And his rally in Lawrence the Thursday before the caucuses was a big success for him. Sanders was also all over the airwaves in Kansas in the week leading up to the caucuses, and he had fliers stuffing mail boxes of Democratic and unaffiliated voters all over the state. Clinton, by contrast, had field organizers working in several parts of the state. But she never appeared here, and her advertising campaign was all but nonexistent. Oddly, none of the Republican candidates did much radio or TV advertising either, but the top three at least made personal appearances. In addition to Rubio’s threecity tour on Friday, Cruz made a couple of stops. Trump’s one and only appearance in the state, on Saturday morning in Wichita, had the appearance of something his campaign put together on the fly, either because internal polling started showing him in trouble here, or he just wanted an excuse to back out of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., which wasn’t going to be a friendly audience.

‘Omen’ reboot bores Ultimately, the same thing that makes “Damien” (9 p.m., A&E, TV-14) so boring is also what makes it ridiculous. It’s a reboot of “The Omen” set in the present day. But it asks us to imagine a world where nobody has ever seen “The Omen,” or its many sequels. Or the cottage industry of apocalyptic malarkey that has sprung up in the four decades since the release of the original supernatural horror film that starred Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. To be fair, TV shows are never terribly self-aware. Nobody discusses the high rate of petty officer mortality on “NCIS.” “Midsomer Murders” would be less cozy and bucolic if they examined the off-the-charts homicide rate in that corner of green and pleasant land. Bradley James stars as Damien Thorn, a dashing war correspondent/photojournalist first seen covering civil strife in Damascus, Syria. He has no idea of his demonic pedigree until a woman draped entirely in black looks him in the eye, mutters some Latinate gibberish and implants his mind with flashbacks to a 1976 movie. And, no, it’s not “Carrie”! Not to give too much away here, but Damien suddenly becomes a troubled soul, followed by a dark cloud and a pack of nasty dogs that send several colleagues and strangers to early graves. Turning “Damien” into a series only reminds us of the brisk and creepy pace of the original movie. In contrast, “Damien” plods. Nearly every scene seems belabored, obvious and dull. Part of the problem is having to explain to Damien and others all the silly 666 stuff we already know from watching the original movie and its sequels. Look for Barbara Hershey as Ann Rutledge, an old friend of Damien’s deceased parents. We learn early on that she’s been keeping an eye on him since birth. For those keeping score, this is a TV season that has already seen “Angel From Hell” and “Lucifer.” Tonight’s other highlights O The search for Victor continues on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

This characteristic becomes more dominant than in previous years. If you are single, your magnetic personality draws others toward you.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ Get an early start. As the day goes on, your energy will wear off. Tonight: Try to avoid someone’s frenetic energy. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Others greet your ideas on a positive note. You naturally step into the role of leader. Tonight: Return calls. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ A take-charge attitude goes far, but it could put distance between you and others. Tonight: Be willing to work late. Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You have the ability to look past a problem and see where there is common ground. Tonight: Relax to great music. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You might sense that

EDITORIALS

Professional honor The Lawrence firefighting force has received a prestigious and well-deserved honor.

he announcement that LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical has officially been ranked among the country’s best fire departments only confirms the stellar reputation that agency has in our community. Chief Mark Bradford shared the news with Lawrence city commissioners last week that the Insurance Services Office, a national evaluating organization, had given the Lawrence department a Class 1 ranking, the highest of its 10 categories. Of about 48,000 departments examined by ISO, only 39 cities have achieved the top ranking. Bradford is quick to note that the ranking is the product of a cooperative effort among several local entities. The city-county emergency communications system that receives calls and dispatches units is a key factor, he said, as is the city utilities department, which is responsible for making sure fire hydrants are placed and maintained in a way that ensures adequate water to fight fires. However, the high quality of the local firefighting force is perhaps the most important part of the equation. Firefighters are well trained, as illustrated by the extra credit the department received because all of its fire investigators are nationally certified. People who have been unfortunate enough to have first-hand experience with the department when a fire strikes their homes always are impressed with the professionalism of the department and the extraordinary steps that firefighters take to minimize property damage. Bradford noted that the new Class 1 rating may result in lower insurance premiums for some local residents and businesses, but that perhaps is secondary to the knowledge that when a fire strikes in Lawrence, it will be handled by a top-notch group of professionals whose training has prepared them to minimize property damage and potential loss of life. That’s a good feeling, and local residents owe Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical their thanks and congratulations.

Michigan a key contest for Cruz Dearborn, Mich. — It is here in the industrial Midwest, not in the South, where Ted Cruz’s audacious theory of the 2016 race was supposed to be put to one of its most important tests. Michigan’s primary on Tuesday — and especially what happens that day in the Detroit suburbs that in 1980 were ground zero for a new political species, “Reagan Democrats” — will answer this question: Can Cruz locate and motivate legions of recently nonvoting conservatives, millions of them nationwide, especially whites without college experience, who can be pulled back into

“

Can Cruz locate and motivate legions of recently nonvoting conservatives … who can be pulled back into voting in numbers sufficient to determine the election in November?” voting in numbers sufficient to determine the election in November? But the best-laid plans of mice and men and even senators often go awry, and one problem with Cruz’s plan is that it was formulated in olden days, in the world B.D.T. — Before Donald Trump. He, too, is courting this cohort of the disaffected, whose grievances about politicians certainly cannot this year include being ignored by them. But although Trump may bestride the political scene mastodon, Patrick Colbeck and Wendy Day are undaunted. Colbeck, 50, was an engineer with no interest in politics until, six years ago, he did something almost unprecedented even among members of the national legislature: He read the Affordable Care Act, aka Obam-

acare. He concluded that “this is about control and has nothing to do with care.” Now he is a Republican state senator, the first Michigan legislator elected from the tea party, and a thorn in the side of the GOP’s legislative leadership on spending and other matters. Which is to say, he is somewhat like Ted Cruz, of whose Michigan campaign Colbeck is chairman. Day, 43, is the wife of a soldier who has a Purple Heart from two tours in the Middle East, and the mother of a 19-year-old soldier just back from his first deployment, in Kuwait. She was working with war widows before becoming state director of the Cruz campaign because “he’s been to Babylon and survived.” Meaning he’s resisted “the seductive nature of Washington.” Now she travels with a spreadsheet, supplied by Cruz’s national campaign headquarters in Houston, detailing the expected March 8 vote in all of Michigan’s 4,500 precincts and the number of votes Cruz needs to get in each in order to win the state. Houston projects that Cruz needs 345,000 of the 1.08 million votes the campaign expects to be cast. Day has on her phone a picture of two of those voters who,

with no prompting from the campaign, set up a table outside a tractor supply store to educate voters about Cruz’s enthusiasm for the Second Amendment. Other volunteers held a fundraiser at a gun range to pay for a Cruz billboard. Yes, each such anecdote testifies to Cruz’s ability to energize a passionate cadre, and, yes, as has been said, the plural of “anecdote” is “data.” Today, however, much more than when Winston Churchill said so eight decades ago, “We have entered the region of mass effects.” In Michigan, as in many of the Super Tuesday states, the Cruz campaign mounted the most ambitious efforts to create telephoneand-shoe-leather get-outthe-vote operations, all of which strengthen the sinews of American democracy. In its approach to Iowa, the campaign identified 150 clusters of Iowans for special attention, including a group of 60 who signed a petition seeking legalization of the sale of fireworks in the state, a group that received a blessing from Cruz in his libertarian mode. But today’s saturation journalism about presidential politics — and especially the insatiable appetite of television for the garish

PUBLIC FORUM

sights and sounds of Trump, whose campaign consists almost entirely of feeding this appetite — can raise waves of passion and distraction that wash away more methodical ways of engaging with voters. A Detroit News/WDIVTV poll, taken Feb. 14-16, after Iowa’s caucuses and New Hampshire’s primary but before South Carolina’s primary and Nevada’s caucuses, presented a microcosm of the GOP’s national problem: Trump 25.2 percent, undecided 21.3, Cruz 15, Marco Rubio 11.8, John Kasich 10.5, Ben Carson 9, Jeb Bush 5.3. Trump had the highest unfavorable rating (41.3), but the combined 37.3 percent of the three serious Trump rivals still in the race is too fragmented to derail him. And Kasich, from contiguous Ohio, is targeting Michigan. Michigan’s primary comes a week — an eternity — after Super Tuesday’s 11 primaries altered the political landscape. Michigan is one of the 18 states (and the District of Columbia) — with 242 electoral votes — that Republicans have lost in six consecutive presidential elections, so attention must be paid. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 7, 1916: “Just one week ago today years Rev. E. A. Edwards was conago firmed in the office of welfare IN 1916 superintendent of Lawrence, and today the men who appointed him accepted his resignation. Opposition which developed to his work in quarters where he had expected assistance and support was stated by Rev. Mr. Edwards this morning as his reason for resigning the position.... ‘A man in the position of superintendent of welfare should have the support of the entire community,’ said Mr. Edwards.... Mayor Francisco and Commissioner Holyfield were much pleased a week ago when the induced Rev. Mr. Edwards to agree to become welfare superintendent at the salary provided in the city ordinance. They believed the question as to whether such an official is really needed or not in Lawrence would be given a thorough tryout.” “Jerry Wells, living at Pleasant Grove, fell from the hay loft of his barn this morning and was almost instantly killed. Mr. Wells lived with a renter on his farm and was in the barn working this morning before breakfast. When he failed to appear for breakfast his tenant made investigation and found that Mr. Wells had fallen from the loft striking the back of his head against a six by six beam in the barn. … The funeral services will be held tomorrow from the Pleasant Grove church at 1 o’clock. Interment will be made in the Flory cemetery.” “The results of warmer weather, better roads and the recent automobile show at Kansas City are being shown at the office of the county treasurer. Since February 1 licenses for nineteen autos and two motorcycles have been secured from I. C. Stevenson, county treasurer.”

School alarm

Turnpike access

To the editor: Schools will probably not open in the fall in Kansas. There likely will not be a first day of school; there might not be an entire school year. The Kansas Supreme Court has ordered the Legislature to create a school-funding plan by June 30, and no one is discussing or working on it. The last school funding plan took more than a year to create. Kansas senators and representatives have less than two months left in their session. I don’t know why no one is sounding alarm bells! If there is not a funding plan, there will be no public schools in Kansas. Yes, the presidential election is full of crazy people. But we have our own crazy people in Kansas who want to shut down our schools. The Kansas Supreme Court is not bluffing. The order is issued and done. It’s the Legislature’s turn. This doesn’t just affect people with kids in public school. Think about property values. It won’t matter that your house is located in a “good” school district, because no one will want to buy a house here. Not to mention that we will somehow have to support all the people who will be without pay, from custodians to principals, because they won’t be able to provide for their families. The Journal-World should be covering this every day. How is anything else bigger news? And our Lawrence legislative delegation should be pitching a fit. Do people in Kansas know about this? Does anyone care? Emily Mulligan, Lawrence

To the editor: Disappointingly, Thursday night, Kansas Department of Transportation representatives did not have all the answers to reasonably support the plan to close access to the South Lawrence Trafficway from the Farmer’s Turnpike. The safety impact of this change caused by the increased traffic on deadly U.S. Highway 40, was not properly measured in its planning. Residents are reasonably scared and angry. KDOT is convinced that its plan will be safer for SLT and Turnpike users. While perhaps not perfect, there is a middle ground to utilize that plan that was not offered by KDOT which our county commissioners should insist be part of the formula. Simply, KDOT and the Kansas Turnpike Authority need to agree on a means of providing free access to the Turnpike to those persons getting on at the new proposed Farmer’s Turnpike exchange and off at the SLT exit, a distance of less than two miles. The free toll should go both ways. This is not rocket science and is technologically relatively simple. Without a free pass, many of these individuals will burden U.S. 40 and further endanger both themselves and the residents who must already use it. While some will say the cost of the toll will be modest, our knowledge of human behavior tells us that a toll will deter use, no matter how small. Douglas County residents pay a substantial proportion of the Turn— Compiled by Sarah St. John pike annual revenue, and this concession is only reasonable for the safety and good will of the residents of this Read more Old Home Town at LJWorld. county. com/news/lawrence/history/old_home_ Grant Glenn, town.

Clinton, Sanders face off in Flint debate Water crisis, trade are center stage as big-prize Michigan votes Tuesday Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled over trade, guns, the auto industry and the water crisis in Flint, Mich., on Sunday in their seventh Democratic presidential debate. With Clinton seeking to put away the race for the party’s nomination during the next few weeks, Sanders targeted her support for previous trade agreements, which he said “resulted in the shrinking of the American

middle class.” The attack in the heart of the industrial Midwest was intended to wrest Tuesday’s upcoming primary away from Clinton, who had a 56%-31% lead in a Detroit Free Press-WXYZ poll released late Saturday. Michigan boasts the 8th-largest trove of delegates in the Democratic race. After Michigan and Mississippi voters cast ballots Tuesday, the race shifts to five big states voting a week later: Florida, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri. The former secretary of State

responded to Sanders’ attack on trade instantly, accusing him of opposing the 2001 auto bailout — which Sanders noted was incorporated into the Wall Street bailout that he opposed. “I voted to save the auto industry. He voted against the money that ended up saving the auto industry,” Clinton said. If

Sanders’ position had succeeded, she said, the auto industry would have collapsed, “taking 4 million jobs with it.” Even as the pair debated at Flint’s Whiting Auditorium, voters were caucusing in Maine on Sunday, which Sanders won. Clinton has a lead in delegates of 1,130 to 499, thanks in large part to party super-delegates. Clinton and Sanders will have only three days to recover from the Michigan debate before their next one in Miami on Wednesday night. But they took time Sunday to look ahead to the general election contest — possibly against Donald Trump. “I think that Donald Trump’s bigotry, his bullying, his bluster, are not going to wear well on the

American people,” Clinton said. Sanders said polls show him beating Trump by more than Clinton does. Noting both he and Clinton have talked about investing in mental health, he said, “When you watch these Republican debates, you know why.” The candidates came together in a city struggling for the past two years with lead-polluted water that city, state and federal officials recognized and overlooked. They both visited Flint in recent weeks to call attention to the water crisis. On Sunday night, Clinton for the first time joined Sanders in calling for Gov. Rick Snyder to resign or face a recall election. Contributing: Heidi M. Przybyla

Nancy Reagan helped shape her husband’s legacy Andrea Stone

Special for USA TODAY

Former first lady Nancy Reagan, the indispensable partner and protector of the nation’s 40th president who became a fierce advocate in the fight against the disease that stole him from her, has died, the Reagan Library announced Sunday. She was 94. “Her romance with Ronald Reagan was a storybook love story,” said historian Douglas Brinkley, editor of The Reagan Diaries. “She is the one who deserves credit for orchestrating the great legacy that is Ronald Reagan.” “She was a true partner to the presidency,” Anita McBride, a

Nancy Reagan often said, “My life didn’t really begin until I met Ronnie.” She will be buried beside him on a hilltop at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. There, at the president’s funeral in June 2004, much of the world watched the tearful widow lean over his coffin to say farewell as the sun set over Simi Valley. Gone was the “dragon lady” whom her press secretary, Sheila Tate, said could make the most powerful White House aide shake with fear. Nearly forgotten were v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

NATO announced an expansion of its naval involvement in Europe’s refugee crisis Sunday, and the death toll rose ahead of a crucial European Union summit aimed at curbing the chaos. European leaders hope to persuade Turkey to stem the flow of migrants into Europe from Syria and other embattled nations at a summit Monday. Financial support for the Turks and Greece is also in the works. The crisis was dealt another tragic blow Sunday when a migrant boat capsized in the Aegean Sea off the Turkish town of Didim, killing more than two dozen people including at least 10 children, the Turkish Coast Guard said. Fifteen people were rescued. NATO’s increased involvement is meant to cut down on such tragedies and to frustrate human smuggling efforts, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. The additional ships being sent to the Aegean will venture into territorial waters of the nations involved. “The purpose of NATO’s deployment is not to stop or push back migrant boats, but to help our allies Greece and Turkey, as well as the European Union, in their efforts to tackle human trafficking and the criminal networks that are fueling this crisis,” the military alliance said. Turkey is temporary home to an estimated 2 million migrants, most from neighboring Syria.

Doctor pushes to get overdose antidote in every home Deirdre Shesgreen USA TODAY

BALTIMORE Physician Leana Wen has trained heroin addicts, first responders and drug court officials in how to administer the antidote for an opioid overdose. So why not a group of wealthy white women gathered at a stately clubhouse in Baltimore’s toniest neighborhood? Wen is Baltimore City’s health commissioner, and she has emerged as one of the most aggressive and innovative public health officials in the nationwide fight against opioid addiction.

Naloxone, a medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, is a centerpiece of Wen’s crusade — something she says “should be part of everyone’s medicine cabinet.” For the next 45 minutes, Wen, 33, held her audience transfixed with tales from her days as an emergency room doctor. As she pivoted to the health department’s approach to Baltimore’s addiction crisis, she made sure her audience understood this wasn’t about someone else’s problem. “The fastest-growing demographic of people is not what you might imagine: It’s not the African-American youth in

the inner city,” Wen said, as she called her assistant to the stage and readied a dose of naloxone. “It’s actually white, middle-aged, middle-class suburban women.” Wen then proceeded with the demonstration, showing the audience how to spray the antidote into a person’s nostrils. Last fall, Wen helped persuade Maryland lawmakers to give her authority to prescribe naloxone every one of Baltimore’s 620,000 residents, as long as they undergo training. So far, more than 8,000 people have been trained. Some critics say Wen’s emphasis on naloxone is misguided, and they say it could diminish the fear

among addicts that they risk dying of an overdose. “What harm-reduction does is reinforces the addict’s behavior,” said Mike Gimbel, who served as the “drug czar” for Baltimore County for 23 years. Even more worrisome, Gimbel said, is that making naloxone widely available could give policymakers a false sense they are ad-

dressing the opioid epidemic. “The only thing that changes the behavior of an addict is longterm treatment,” Gimbel said. Wen says she’s pushing just as hard for treatment as she is for naloxone. She urged lawmakers in Washington to fund a national campaign to destigmatize addiction and talked about the need to dramatically expand treatment. In Maryland, Wen is trying to persuade state legislators to fund a “24/7” urgent care center. But naloxone has to come first — or at least hand-in-hand, she says. “There’s not going to be any treatment if the person cannot survive today,” Wen says.

VOICES

In the shadows, but a powerful force Owen Ullmann @oullmann USA TODAY

In the first years of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, his wife, Nancy, was widely considered a liability. After all, she spent lavishly on redecorating the White House and hosting glittering parties at a time when the country was struggling through a recession marked by both high inflation and unemployment. At the time, I was a reporter covering the Reagan administration for the Associated Press and later Knight-Ridder Newspapers. And, I admit, I was among the journalists who wrote many critical stories about the first lady: Her devoted gaze when she looked at the president. Her fierce protection of his image and zero tolerance for aides who exhibited the slightest disloyalty. Her love of high fashion and glamour at a time of economic distress. Her hiring of an astrologer in the wake of her husband’s near-fatal shooting to make sure future public events were safe for him. Yet, in the later years that I covered the White House, I came to appreciate the enormous influence Nancy Reagan had on her husband’s domestic and foreign policies to ensure a successful presidency. She was his only close confidant and

Nancy Reagan was vital to Ronald Reagan’s success. And the country is better off for it. friend, and his No. 1 adviser. In retrospect, I must say she served him — and the country— very well. While Reagan gave sharply worded speeches that embellished his conservative views on small government and his antipathy toward the Soviet Union, Nancy Reagan softened her husband’s sharp edges to produce a pragmatic president who could cut deals with the political opposition in Congress and Soviet leaders he had assailed. Such bipartisan agreements

that advance the public’s agenda are all but non-existent in Washington today. On domestic policy, Nancy Reagan encouraged compromises on budget policies to preserve some programs for the poor in return for cuts in other programs that did not target those most in need. Although the president gave rhetorical support to the antiabortion movement, Nancy restrained him from taking actions that would further restrict a woman’s right to an abortion,

keeping him in line with the majority sentiment in the nation. At a time when society was largely homophobic and discrimination against gays was the rule, Nancy preached tolerance toward people of all sexual orientations. She often invited gay friends from Hollywood to the White House and even encouraged the appointment of gays — who remained in the closet — to administration jobs. On foreign policy, Nancy prodded her husband to reach out to the Soviets to negotiate arms control treaties. He refused to engage any Soviet leaders during his first term, saying they kept dying on him. He finally did so in his second term, establishing a strong rela-

tionship with then-Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. They met four times — in Geneva; Reykjavik, Iceland; Washington and Moscow. (I covered all four summits.) Their meetings led to several arms limitation deals, a remarkable friendship between a lifetime anti-communist and lifelong communist, and the eventual end of the Cold War and breakup of the Soviet Union. Nancy never upstaged her husband or took credit for these accomplishments. She always stood in his shadow, encouraging him, whispering responses to reporters’ questions when he couldn’t think of one, even rescheduling the ceremony for signing one nuclear treaty on the advice of her astrologer. I was watching a new episode of House of Cards the other night and thought of the Reagans when first lady Claire Underwood told her husband, Frank, during a vicious fight that they were a team and only succeeded when they worked together, not when they kept undercutting one another. That was true of the Reagans: They made a great team, without the scheming and fighting. They adored one another and had a close-knit relationship unlike any I’ve witnessed in Washington. Nancy Reagan was vital to Ronald Reagan’s success. And the country is better off for it. Ullmann is USA TODAY’s editor for world news.

the closets of designer gowns and cabinets of expensive china that she preferred, and for which she was criticized. Even her unblinking gaze of connubial adoration — The Gaze, reporters called it — that so annoyed feminists seemed forgiven. In her place was a frail, barely 5-foot-4-inch bird of a woman who had spent a decade losing her great love to Alzheimer’s disease, and who, after 52 years, had finally let him go. She never stopped grieving. “I miss him now more than I ever did,” she told CNN’s Larry King in June 2007. Despite a tight circle of friends and her work at the Reagan Library, “I’m lonely because I don’t have him.” The Reagans’ fierce devotion — their children complained they felt like outsiders in their own family — was legendary. It was also polarizing. She was criticized as an overzealous gatekeeper for her husband, who called her “Mommie.” Yet some who knew them say the out-of-work actor who’d been divorced by his more famous first wife, Jane Wyman, might well have remained a Hollywood has-been had he not met a B-movie starlet named Nancy Davis. “I don’t think he would have ever got elected governor (or) president if she wasn’t his wife,” said Stuart Spencer, who managed Reagan’s California and national campaigns. “She was that important to him. She was the anchor.” She was born Anne Francis Robbins in New York City on July 6, 1921, but later shaved two years off her age. Her father, Kenneth Robbins, was a used-car salesman who soon skipped out of his marriage and his daughter’s life. Her mother was Edith Luckett, a stage actress. Silent movie star Alla Nazimova was godmother to the girl everyone knew as Nancy. Divorced, Luckett toured in acting companies to earn money, leaving Nancy, then 2, with Luckett’s sister in Bethesda, Md. She didn’t retrieve her until six years later, when Luckett married prominent Chicago neurosurgeon Loyal Davis. The family settled down to a life of privilege at his home on tony Lake Shore Drive. Show business friends like “Uncle” Walter Huston and Spencer Tracy visited when they passed through town. Tracy helped Nancy Davis, who had taken her adopted father’s surname, get a screen test in Hollywood. She signed a seven-year contract with MetroGoldwyn-Mayer in 1949 and

went on to appear in 11 movies. Most, she wrote in her memoir, My Turn, were “best forgotten.” She wrote that the two people who became the Reagans met after she learned in 1949 that her name was on an industry blacklist of Communist sympathizers. Suspecting a mix-up with another Nancy Davis, she contacted the Screen Actors Guild for help. The union’s president was Ronald Reagan. And, in a story varnished into lore by the Reagans, their meeting led to romance. Nancy Reagan had been the breadwinner for a short time, but eventually she gave up acting to stay home with Patti and son Ron, born in 1958. She had a new career: Ronnie. “She had one constituent,” said chief White House speechwriter Ken Khachigian, “and that was Ronald Reagan.” Nancy Reynolds, a former aide and close family friend, recalled traveling on a plane with Nancy Reagan a few weeks after her husband was elected governor of California in 1966. A man behind them was griping about Reagan’s stance in a budget battle in Sacramento. “She pushed her seat back, looked him right in the eye and said, ‘That’s my husband you are talking about and you don’t have the facts straight,’ ” Reynolds recalled. “Then she clicked the button that brought the seat up. She wasn’t shy.” If she knew her husband best, her ability to gauge others was keen, too. In his autobiography, An American Life, Ronald Reagan wrote that his wife “was gifted with a special instinct that helped

her understand the motives of some people better than I did.” The president, whose 1984 reelection campaign theme was “Morning in America,” was “a bit whimsical and liked people of all stripes and persuasions,” Brinkley said. “Nancy had a built-in danger detector. She would weigh in constantly on who to trust and who not to trust.” After the frugal Carter years of turned-down thermostats and cardigan sweaters, Nancy Reagan moved into the White House determined, as she later wrote, “to reclaim some of the stature and dignity of the building.” But times had changed. The country was in a recession. Controversy greeted the Reagans’ call for private donations to renovate the White House living

quarters when it was disclosed amid an oil crisis that some of the more than $800,000 raised came from the energy industry. Although a private foundation footed the $200,000 bill for new dishes, the news broke the day the Agriculture Department promoted ketchup as a vegetable on kids’ lunch plates. And the public didn’t appreciate that Reagan failed to return expensive borrowed gowns and jewelry. A March 30, 1981, assassination attempt on the president convinced her that “I had to be more involved in seeing that my husband was protected in every possible way.” After the shooting, “her neurotic paranoia and need to control every detail of their lives really served her husband very well,” said Kati Marton, author of Hidden Power: Presidential Marriages That Shaped Our History. “He could pretend nothing bothered him because he knew everything bothered her, and Nancy was eternally vigilant.” After a second term that saw him survive colon cancer surgery and her undergo a mastectomy for breast cancer, the Reagans retired to their California ranch. It wasn’t all that long after they left the White House that the former president began to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease. In 1994, he wrote a letter to the American people to say he was withdrawing from public life. “Finally she had her beloved Ronnie all to herself,” Marton said, “and basically he ceased to be who he had been. It was the greatest tragedy of her life.” Contributing: Rick Hampson

Republicans face threat of fractures in the party Despite Trump and divisiveness, some say they will unite David Jackson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON One way or another, Republicans are looking at the distinct possibility they will enter the fall election as divided as they have been in more than a half-century. All thanks to Donald Trump and his many conservative critics. If Trump claims the Republican presiFLORIDA TODAY dential Donald nomination, he Trump may well face opposition from prominent party members from 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney to current lawmakers to large groups of policymakers. If rivals somehow manage to deny Trump the nod, Republicans would likely face the wrath of voters who have backed the billionaire in large numbers. Threats included a rancorous July convention in Cleveland and continued party in-fighting that will undermine Republican candidates for the White House, Senate and U.S. House this fall. “You have Democrats treating each other with kid gloves, and Republicans pounding each other with boxing gloves,” said Republican pollster Frank Luntz. “It’s not going away any time soon.” Some Republicans are urging people to take a breath. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with drama and intrigue,” said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation. Priebus said the party needs to get a nominee, “come together, and then take it to the Democrats — I think that we’ll get there.” The GOP presidential contest remains unsettled after a series of weekend contests. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz scoring easy wins Saturday in the Kansas and Maine caucuses. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio won Sunday’s contest in Puerto Rico. Trump, who claimed wins in Kentucky and Louisiana, decried suggestion by some Republicans that they should form a new third party if Trump prevails. Such a move, he said, would “make it impossible for the Republican candidate, on the assumption it’s me, to win.”

TENSIONS MOUNT AT MIGRANT BOTTLENECK Thousands of refugees are stuck as they await reopening of borders Nikolia Apostolou Special for USA TODAY

IDOMENI , GREECE Zakhir Nair and his wife sit outside their twoperson tent, their 14-month-old son between them, trying to take his first steps. The Afghan family of five, with another child on the way, have been on the road nearly three weeks: walking through Iranian mountains, busing through Turkey, crossing the Aegean Sea on an inflatable boat to Greece, then taking trains and expensive taxis to this remote border post, en route to the promised land — Germany. “He looks German, doesn’t he,” asked Nair, 40, laughing and pointing to his son, Abu-Muslim, who has fair skin and golden locks popping out of his Adidas hoodie. Like the 13,000 others at this migrant crossing, they are stuck. From Athens to the plains of Idomeni in northern Greece, tens of thousands of migrants are scattered throughout Greece, many headed here in the hopes of an open border. For those already here, there is no way to get through: Macedonia and Serbia have closed their borders in an attempt to block “the Balkan route” into northern Europe. The European Union meets Monday to discuss what to do with the more than 1 million migrants who arrived in 2015 and the million more expected to arrive this year, in an effort to contain Europe’s biggest migration crisis since World War II. Besides pressuring Greece to deport refugees to Turkey, EU leaders will meet with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Brussels to ask his country to do more. The EU has given Turkey, which already hosts more than 2 million migrants, more than $3.3 billion to stamp out smuggling rings and keep migrants in the country. Here at the center of the migrant bottleneck, the situation is tense. In the past two weeks, migrants and refugees have been beaten and tear-gassed by police after riots and protests broke out because of the crowded conditions.

NIKOLIA APOSTOLOU FOR USA TODAY

Zakhir Nair, 40, an Afghan refugee, waits with his wife and their 14-month-old son at the Greek-Macedonian border. Those here for more than a week stand out because they look more nervous than the newcomers like the Nair family, who have only been here two days. Two days feels long when the journey has felt frantic and fastmoving, Nair said. And now they worry that the borders won’t reopen. Still, sitting in this camp waiting for the border to open was the only solution, said Nair, who had sold everything he owned to make this journey. The Taliban and Islamic State militants regularly came to his father’s village and asked him for money. They threatened Nair’s wife, an elementary school teacher. In the end, the Taliban killed his father. So they sleep with everyone

else in this camp, which resembles an open-air concert, with hundreds of tents spread across the plain. They stand with other migrant in long lines for food and coffee. At night, they warm themselves by fires that burn garbage instead of wood, spreading fumes of burning plastic that hang over the camp. Like everyone else, they hope

and pray the border opens soon. Some say the camp is not so bad. A Syrian-Kurdish family, Ahmet and Hadija Kurdi, have been here longer, for 10 days, with their three children. Though they say they are treated well, they are anxious to resume their lives. After the siege of their hometown, Kobani, in northern Syria, thousands of Syrian-Kurds found themselves without jobs. Ahmet Kurdi was a builder and a pottery worker. The situation was so unstable, they decided to try their luck at reaching Germany. “The Greeks have been very nice to us. They bring us food and clothes for our children,” said Ahmet Kurdi. “In Germany, where we want to go, I don’t know how it is. We don’t have any family there, but we hear there are jobs.” For some, this camp is a respite. After traveling and sleeping outdoors for weeks, Nada Suri, 17, of Iraq sits and rests with her mother and older sister. “Here, we just sleep, eat, sleep and eat,” Nada said playfully, describing her days at the border. “But at least we left Ramadi,” she added, referring to the city in central Iraq once held by the Islamic State that the United Nations described last week as “worse than any other part of Iraq.” Nada’s 15-year-old brother, Jacub, slowly makes his way to the family tent. He gingerly navigates the puddles and mud on crunches. His ankle was destroyed during a bombing, and the family wants to reach Germany and fix his leg. “The doctors say that here they need to place a titanium plate,” said his father, Shahe, pointing to Jacub’s leg. “It hurts him and it itches, but what can we do? We have to wait here until they open the borders.”

In the third bombing in or near Baghdad in the past two weeks, an attacker on Sunday crashed a fuel truck filled with explosives into a security checkpoint south of Baghdad, killing at least 47, officials said. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in an online statement. CNN and other news outlets said the claim was made via the Islamic State-affiliated Amaq news agency and on social media. The Islamic State, also known as ISIL, has carried out scores of suicide bombings against Iraq’s security forces and the country’s Shiite Muslim majority.

Miles of tunnels run beneath abandoned mall JC Reindl

The Detroit Free Press DETROIT Countless shoppers visited metro Detroit’s Northland Center mall during its 61 years of business. Yet only a few ever saw the elaborate system of service tunnels that still exists beneath the nation’s first regional shopping mall, which closed last April and could face demolition as early as this summer. The underground tunnels opened with the mall in 1954 and were primarily used for making truck deliveries to Northland’s stores, but also for storage, workshop space and even nuclear bomb shelters. The tunnel network begins with a winding roadway that branches off into passageways connecting subterranean rooms, decrepit stairwells and non-working elevator shafts. Narrow, barely walkable tunnels extend to the mall’s old central power plant as well as a now-closed police substation and a nearby Firestone garage. The entire network runs several miles and includes an astounding 484 rooms, according to Jerry Witkowski, a former code enforcement official for Southfield. The tunnels emerge at two large garage doors at opposite ends of the mall. “It’s just room after room af-

STOCKS BOUNCE BACK INTO BULL TERRITORY

Adam Shell l USA TODAY

he worst start to a year ever for the U.S. stock market doesn’t seem so bad now, following a bounce-back rally that has pulled stocks close to 2% of where they began the year. The stock market has had a remarkable turn since bottoming out in early February, slashing the year-to-date loss to 2.2%, as of Friday's close, from an anxiety-inducing 10.5% at its low.

Three weeks ago on Feb. 11, fear was in the air after investors had watched the Dow Jones industrial average lose nearly 1,800 points for the year when it closed at 15,660 that day. But then the tide turned bullish. That same day, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon delivered a vote of confidence to his bank’s battered shares and the stock market in general when he used his own cash to buy 500,000 shares of stock in the bank he leads. Since then, the market hasn’t looked back. Most of the fears and worsecase scenarios that weighed on stocks earlier in 2016 never materialized. The relief rally has lifted the Dow nearly 1,350 points from its low. Last week, the bluechip barometer scored its first four-day winning streak of the year, closed above 17,000 for the first time since Jan. 6 and ended within striking distance of being break-even for the year. So what sparked the stock market turnaround? A spate of fresh headlines and economic data points has debunked the notion — at least for now — that the financial world was heading for another monu-

mental fall on par with the 2008 financial crisis or 2000 Internet stock meltdown. It’s not as if all that ails the stock market has been cured, but more a case of investors now downsizing the odds of apocalyptic outcomes. “The rally has been more about the fading of negatives rather than the emergence of positives,” says Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management. The early-year stock swoon, he says, was caused by “unfounded concerns about a U.S. recession, deflation and bad energy loans, overly negative views on China’s economy and fears the Federal Reserve would raise rates five times.” But none of those major fears

materialized and are currently on the “back burner,” Doll says. Job gains in February came in stronger than expected, adding to good economic news earlier in the week, including robust auto sales and solid readings on both the manufacturing and services segments of the economy. The solid data have eased recession fears. Couple that with a stabilization in oil prices and no major bad news out of China, and what you get is a market undoing some of the early-year damage. The big question is whether the gains will stick. Doll says stocks can prosper if earnings growth picks up and oil prices and the U.S. dollar “behave.” Bo Christensen, chief analyst at Danske Invest, sees reason for optimism that the bearish spell has been broken. “In our view the reversal is sustainable,” he says. Christensen cites three reasons for his optimism. First, he says a healthy U.S. banking and financial system will be able to support the domestic housing market, consumers and strong jobs growth. Second, he expects China to deliver “moderate” stimulus focused on the country’s ailing construction industry. Finally, he expects the European Central Bank to announce further monetary easing to boost still-low inflation and protect the eurozone economy from downside shocks. Another plus: The still-sluggish wage growth in the U.S. is enough to keep the Fed from an aggressive interest-rate hike campaign and allow them to stick to plans to normalize rates at a “gradual” pace, Christensen says.

... But 40% of stocks still gripped by bear market Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

It’s tempting to get excited about the market’s recent rally. But as impressive as the bounce has been, it is far from repairing some of the worst damage. There are still 198 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500, or 40%, mired in bear markets, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. A bear market is unofficially defined as a decline of 20% or more from the recent high. The fact so many stocks are still so badly beaten — despite the market’s impressive 9% rally from the lows this year — highlights just how much pain remains. “We’ve had a good rally, but lots of stocks still are down,” says Andy Brooks, trader at T. Rowe Price. “We’re still recovering in many sectors.”

ERIK S. LESSER, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Walmart has fallen 20.4% from its high, while Apple is down 23.8% from its high.

Investors are hopeful the market’s bounce from the Feb. 11 lows this year signals the end of the worst. Roughly $1.6 trillion in market value has been restored to the portfolios of investors in the S&P 500, which is a good start, but stocks are still down nearly $2.2 trillion from the highs last year. Given the brutal decline in the price of oil, it’s not surprising to see that many of the most badly damaged stocks are still energy

firms. The three stocks still down the most from their highs, all by about 70%, are each energy companies including Southwestern Energy, Chesapeake Energy and Williams. These stocks are still down this much despite some impressive gains from the February lows. Chesapeake, for instance, is up 189% from Feb. 11, much of that coming in the past three trading sessions after its former CEO died in a car crash a day after being indicted by a federal grand jury. But it’s not just small energy firms that are still mired in a bear. Apple shares are down 23.8% from their high. And Walmart has dropped 20.4% from its high, making it one of the worst stocks owned by Warren Buffett. “We’ll see these stocks down a lot recover slowly, maybe not all the way back, but we’re definitely making the move higher,” Brooks says.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office is planning the review in response to a request last fall from Reps. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Al Green, D-Texas,

GAO spokesman Chuck Young said Friday. Waters, the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, and Green, the party’s top member on the House panel’s Oversight and Investigations subcommittee, sought the review in a letter that asked GAO to conduct an “evaluation of regulatory capture” and focus on the New York Federal Reserve, Reuters reported. Critics suggest that Fed officials may have become too

friendly with bankers to the potential detriment of the U.S. public. “The request was made in October, but the work is in the 2011 AP PHOTO initial phases” Waters involving determination of the review’s scope and methodology, said Young, whose agency is nonpartisan and conducts reviews on

behalf of Congress. Representatives for Waters and Green did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Waters raised the issue during a November hearing. “We will cooperate with the GAO as its work on this report proceeds,” said Fed spokesman Eric Kollig. The New York Fed is the U.S. central bank’s first line of oversight on Wall Street financial institutions. The letter from Waters and Green raised concern about

reports of a “revolving door” between the New York Fed and the banks it supervises, as well as a “reluctance to challenge” the banks, according to the Reuters report. In November, the Fed said its own internal review found “inconsistencies in documentation produced by supervisory teams” that oversee large banks, and “inconsistent practices” by regional Fed banks. The Fed said it was establishing minimum standards and adding resources.

TRAVEL Charisse Jones USA TODAY

hen you’re traveling for business, picking, packing and toting your clothes may at times feel like a second job. But a host of apps are trying to make life on the road a little bit easier. From online valets to services that essentially offer laundry to go, corporate trekkers can digitally outsource much of the drudgery around their work attire. “It’s about the ability to go on a trip . . .and not worry about anything other than your business,” says Bill Rinehart, CEO and founder of DUFL, a “virtual valet” that will sort, clean and ship your wardrobe to and from wherever you’re traveling for work. Customers download the DUFL app, then fill a bag the company sends to their home or office with their various business outfits. DUFL will clean, inventory and photograph all the items. Then, “from that day forward, your closet is the app on your phone,” Rinehart says. Customers input their business destination, the hotel where they’re staying and the dates, and the suitcase arrives the same day they do. At the end of your stay, you can drop your bag off at the front desk, where Fed Ex will pick it up and ship it back to the DUFL warehouse where the clothing is cleaned and for your next trip. The cost is $9.95 per month plus a $99 fee per trip, which covers shipping and cleaning. Since launching in May 2015, Rinehart says that thousands of customers have registered for the service, with the typical male client storing 50 items in his closet, and the typical woman having 150. “When you think about someone spending the vast majority of time on the road, it’s incredibly time consuming and stressful,” he says, adding that customers will sometimes order items from Amazon or a department store and have the items shipped right to DUFL. Washio, which started in March 2013, has customers who use its services while traveling for work, as well as when they return home. With operations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston and Oakland, business travelers can request a laundry pick up on Washio’s website or mobile app. The clothes are then cleaned and returned to your doorstep. “While traveling for business, most hotel dry cleaning services are very expensive,” says Washio CEO and founder Jordan Metzner in explaining the appeal of his service to business travelers. Meanwhile, those heading out

DUFL travelers have their bags picked up and delivered to their next destination and clothes cleaned.

PACKING APPS TAKE A LOAD OFF OF TRAVELERS NEW SERVICES HELP PACK, SHIP AND CARE FOR CLOTHES “When you think about someone spending the vast majority of time on the road, it’s incredibly time consuming.” Bill Rinehart, founder of DUFL

on a corporate trip can get their shirts boxed, for easy packing. And when faced with a suitcase full of dirty clothes upon their return, they can simply send the items off with Washio and they “have clean clothes to take on their next trip,” Metzner says. Ben Gillenwater, CEO of his own software company, initially built the PackPoint app for himself. “I’ve been a business traveler for about eight years,” Gillenwater says. “I was always forgetting something . .. .like my passport, or my toiletries or even my dress

shoes for work.” Now PackPoint practically does the packing for him. The app tells users what they need to take depending on their destination and planned activities, right down to reminding them to take an umbrella because it’s likely to rain. And as you pack, you can check off each item within the app. “You can tell it if you will have access to laundry and if you want to repeat basics, like wear a shirt more than once,” he says. A paid version of the app which costs $2.99 can be customized — you can tell it for instance to never remind you to pack contact lenses since you don’t wear them. And if you have a TripIt account where you assemble all your travel arrangements, PackPoint will sync

with it and automatically create packing lists based on your itineraries. Stylebook, an app launched in October 2009, isn’t just for those honing their inner fashionista. The app, which has a one time cost of $3.99 is “perfect for business travelers,” says co-founder Jess Atkins, “because they can plan what to pack whenever they have a free moment.” Users input pictures of their clothes, and can utilize the app’s calendar to plan their outfits. The app also allows them to create a packing list, and even post notes to remind themselves where they wore various ensembles. “With airline baggage fees at an all-time high, suitcase space is precious and Stylebook can help you bring only items that you need,” Atkins says. Apps like these can be real time savers, some users say. Debbe McCall, a business owner, uses DUFL one to four times a month. “I save hours not packing, not schlepping, not looking for overhead space, not wishing I had brought an extra outfit or pair of shoes,” McCall, who lives in Temecula Valley, Calif. “Traveling is fun again.”

Q: How much do VASI lights really help with descent? — Ian Faircloth, San Diego A: Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) lights provide a visual reference to the pilot’s position above or below the optimum vertical path. They are very important. Judging vertical path deviation can be challenging; a VASI lighting system or the similar Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) makes it much easier and safer. My experience is that VASI and PAPI really help pilots make a stable, safe approach to the runway. Q: What’s your opinion of the safety and efficacy of Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) equipped aircraft? — Howard, KSFO A: I find the aircraft equipped with Flight Augmentation Computers (FAC) to be very safe, dependable and efficient. All of the Airbus aircraft I flew had FACs, and I never experienced any problem with them. The FACs combine features found in several different components (e.g. yaw damper, rudder limiter and rudder trim) in other types of airplanes. The use of the FACs is appropriate for an airplane with the sophistication of the Airbus fly-by-wire flight control system. Q: Do you think that the “MEL” or deferred maintenance write-ups have gone too far? — Bob Kimber, Syracuse, N.Y. A: No, the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) or deferred maintenance process is a safe way to use the redundancy of the airplane to improve reliability. History has shown that the MEL process is safe. Regulators (the FAA in the U.S.) watch how operators use the MEL process to ensure that there are not lapses or misuse. MELs have been in use for more than 50 years and work very well.

Making mass transit work for travelers Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Just the mention of mass transit is enough to either send you to the next paragraph — or to click away. Yep, it’s that divisive. “Mass transit can be a surprisingly contentious topic for Americans,” says Jon Tarleton, the head of transportation marketing at Finnish company Vaisala. On one side, there’s a small but growing group of devoted passengers who love the perks of riding the train or bus, including saving money and avoiding traffic. On the other, there’s a far larger set of travelers who would rather stay home than give up the freedom of their own vehicle. A majority of Americans drive to work in their own car. Only 21% take a bus, followed by subway (9%) and train (8%), according to a recent survey by Citi ThankYou Premier. Transit commuters take an average of 45 minutes and spend approximately $10 per day getting to work. The riders have a lot going for them. The train often costs less, is more practical and it’s great for the environment. Drivers make equally valid points about flexibility and convenience. Sometimes the math works in their favor, too. People who ride mass transit save on average a whopping $771 per month over car ownership, according to a recent survey by the American Public TransportaON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

HOW TO OVERCOME MASS-TRANSIT PHOBIA uDo your homework. The first step is always the hardest. “To figure out how and where to take a bus or train, just go to the public transit system’s website,” advises Michael Melaniphy, APTA’s president. “Look for a section on trip planning, schedules and fares. I think you will be surprised how much information is available and how it can be personalized for your travel needs.” uConsider the benefits. Using public transportation means you have more time to do things you enjoy. Instead of being stuck in a traffic jam, you can read a book, text or email. Plus, there’s often no better way of seeing a new city. uDownload an app. New apps like Moovit (moovitapp.com) have demystified the ridership experience. They let you know the precise location of the train station or bus stop and can even tell you when the next subway is scheduled to arrive. No more guessing.

tion Association (APTA), a trade group (see below). Although they don’t have related numbers for leisure travel, it’s a safe bet that at least as many people drive when traveling for leisure, if not more. But I felt torn the last time I visited Washington with my family. I found a Blue Line Metro station two short blocks away from where we were staying, but the math and the train schedules didn’t align for my family of five.

Instead, we fought traffic in our SUV and paid for parking. Renee Flowers, who was raised in D.C. and rode the Metro as a child, also wanted to do so as an adult, but she says “parking became impossible at the stations in the suburbs, and the trains became so unreliable that I decided to drive.” The decision lengthened each workday by three hours, says Flowers, who now works for a

hospitality marketing company in Charleston, S.C. Even in places where it makes a lot of sense to take the train, travelers tell me they’d rather not. “If I can, I drive into New York,” admits Nancy Hassel, who runs a membership organization in Babylon, N.Y. “Is there traffic to get there? Yes, but not always — and most times it is just in the same congested places you can expect. But I am in my own car, not depending on if the train is late, or if there are electrical problems.” I suspect most Americans feel a lot like Wayne Schoeneberg, which is to say, they’d use more mass transit if they could. “When I go to cities that have it, I use it as my primary means of transportation — places like New York, Paris or London,” says Schoeneberg, a life coach. “Sadly, I live in St. Louis, where mass transit is an afterthought. Trains in the Midwest are abysmal. The routes, schedules and service are all sub-par.” Michael Brein doesn’t buy our excuses. He’s the author of a series of guidebooks that advise tourists how to use mass transit, and before he started writing them, he heard all the reasons why we don’t ride, including mine about the math. His favorite one? When he was researching the edition on Los Angeles, the naysayers said the city was just too spread out and that visiting without a car “couldn’t be done.” “Turns out that in a huge, sprawling metropolis such as L.A., you can easily and comfortably get to the top 50 visitor attractions using L.A.’s Red Line subway as well as the other color

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU SAVE BY TAKING THE TRAIN? People who ride public transportation instead of driving can save, on average, more than $771 per month. Month- Annual City (ranked) ly savings savings 1. New York $1,231 $14,776 2. San Francisco $1,041 $12,494 3. Boston $1,019 $12,228 4. Philadelphia $942 $11,310 5. Seattle $930 $11,157 6. Chicago $916 $10,996 7. Honolulu $900 $10,801 8.

light rail lines and express buses,” Brein says. “There is no cheaper way.” The conflict between drivers and riders exists because the solution isn’t easy. But here it is, nonetheless: Our buses, trains and subways will never be first rate until they become a priority, and they won’t become a priority until we stop making excuses. It could take a generation or more, but as Simon Tam, who works for the nonprofit Oregon Environmental Council, notes, it is happening. “A new generation of Americans is slowly shifting their opinions,” he says. OK — I’m ready to give the Blue Line one more try. Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler.

RuPaul is sailing into the eighth season of Drag Race.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Jayme Deerwester USA TODAY

urns out there is at least one malady that not even America’s first drag superstar can overpower: jet lag. But this is RuPaul we’re talking about, so even that travel term has gotten a drag makeover. “I’m completely jet-hagged,” he says as he promotes the eighthseason premiere of Logo’s RuPaul’s Drag Race (Monday, 9 ET/ PT) after returning from a twoweek trip to Australia. This season will mark the 100th-episode milestone for the mash-up of America’s Next Top Model, America’s Got Talent and Project Runway, in which dragqueen contestants do a little of everything: hair and makeup, costume design, stand-up comedy, acting, singing and, if it comes down to it, lip-syncing for their lives. But he has noticed that there’s one quality that tends to go under the radar: “Kindness will get you so far in this competition. We live in an egobased society where the girls come on the show and say, ‘I’m gonna cut a b - - - - !’ Honestly, if you are just your beautiful self, you’re going to be just fine.” Drag Race, which premiered in 2009, has blossomed into the cable network’s top-rated original program, as well as an Emmy nominee (for makeup) and Television Critics Association Award winner. Celebrities campaign for guest spots on Drag Race’s judges’ panel, RuPaul says, and the new season’s crop includes models Gigi Hadid, Chanel Iman, designer Marc Jacobs and Blondie’s Deborah Har-

ry and Chris Stein. Still on his wish list? Judge Judy Sheindlin, “because only Judy can judge me!” he laughs. The judges’ conclave isn’t the only place stars pop up on the show. Every season there’s the hotly anticipated “Snatch Game,” a drag parody of the classic game show Match Game. In RuPaul’s version, the celebrity panel is comprised of a motley crew of drag queens impersonating celebrities from Cher and Beyoncé to reality-show flavors of the moment Snooki and Teresa Giudice to Paula Deen and Downton Abbey’s Dowager Duchess, played by Maggie Smith. Somehow, the queens have yet to fulfill RuPaul’s fondest “Snatch Game” wish. “I’m still waiting for someone to do LaToya Jackson,” he laments. “It seems so obvious to me! That’s who I’d do if I were a contestant.” Our vote goes to Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones’ wine-swilling, barbtongued harridan. (Lena Headey, who plays her, has guest-starred on the show, and so has Jackson.) Speaking of game shows, RuPaul is getting a real one, too. Logo rolls out Gay for Play April 11 (10 p.m. ET/PT), in which he tests contestants’ pop culture IQs. Should they falter, they can turn to a celebrity panel — comprised of Drag Race judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews and viral-video star Todrick Hall. But unlike “Snatch Game,” this panel also will contain actual celebrities such as Amber Rose, Rebecca Romijn, Cheyenne Jackson and other Friends of RuPaul. “It’s sexy, it’s cheeky and so, so so gay,” he promises. “It’s a combination of Family Feud, Hollywood Squares, Match Game, Deal or No Deal. It’s all in there. ... It’s funnier than the Republican debates — with more useful takeaway.”

Families propel the Disney romp to a roaring $74M Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

The all-animal animated Zootopia trounced the human competition at the weekend box office with a stunning $73.7 million, according to studio estimates. Zootopia’s tale of a rabbit police officer (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) teaming with a fox con artist (Jason Bateman) to solve a crime that has the city’s lion mayor (J.K. Simmons) concerned marked the largest opening three-day weekend for Walt Disney Animation Studios ever, beating the $67.4 million posted in 2013 by Frozen. Zootopia ranks as the fourth-largest March opening weekend in history.

Rookie cop Judy Hopps and Zootopia are off to a running start. “This is a huge debut; families flocked to Zootopia,” says Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for comScore. The movie is a critic’s darling, scoring an eyepopping 98% positive critical rating on the film site Rotten Tomatoes.com and an A audience grade on CinemaScore.

Gerard Butler’s return to saving the president in London Has Fallen took second place with an undramatic debut of $21.7 million. That’s down from Butler’s original Secret Service mission, 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen, which flew out to a $30 million opening. Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool

took third with $16.4 million in its fourth weekend. The R-rated Marvel film has earned a staggering $311 million since its recordbreaking Valentine’s weekend debut of $135 million. Tina Fey’s journalist sent to Afghanistan in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot took fourth with $7.6 million in its opening weekend. Fey “is a very well-known, very respected person. But she’s not a movie star,” says Scott Mendelson, box office analyst for Forbes. “People don’t go out to see a movie just because Tina Fey is in it.” Butler also had a mediocre weekend with his starring role in Gods of Egypt, which was fifth with $5 million in its second weekend (for a total $22.8 million). Director Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, starring Christian Bale, opened in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a total of $56,668 and a solid location average of $14,172. Final numbers are out Monday.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Beaty adds spice to spring Coming off an 0-12 season and heading into one that will feature the smallest home crowds in decades, the Kansas University football program didn’t have much chance to generate any interest from the first day of spring practices. Wrong! David Beaty floored a small gathering of media inside the football complex late Sunday afternoon by announcing that he will coach quarterbacks and call the offensive plays. Rob Likens, recruited to Kansas from California, where he was wide-receivers coach, remains the titular offensive coordinator, but in reality has been demoted to “a walk-around guy,” as Beaty put it. The latest news means that only three of Beaty’s nine assistant coaches from his rookie season as a college head coach remain in their same roles: defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, chosen for Beaty by athletic director Sheahon Zenger as a thank you for serving as interim head coach; cornerbacks coach/co-defensive coordinator Kenny Perry; and offensive-line coach Zach Yenser. When Beaty revealed the news, my brain flashed to Charlie Weis at the podium down the hall from where Beaty stood Saturday, announcing in mid-season of his second year that he had fired himself as offensive coordinator and divided the running and passing duties of the job between a couple of assistant coaches. Beaty was doing the opposite, demoting his offensive coordinator, Likens, and replacing him with himself. Beaty and Weis both made the mistake of thinking the scheme was a big part of the problem, a quick-fix read. The main problem is the personnel must be upgraded, and that takes more time than either coach gave himself. It takes recruiting and developing high school players, and that takes years. Oh, well, give Beaty credit for sticking his neck on the line, because if the move flops, it will blow up in his and only his face. As it stands, Beaty is either guilty of hiring the

“If this had happened in May and we were trying to get him back to play in the Big 12 season, that’s one thing. Certainly doctors and Bill (Cowgill, trainer) are

pushing him at the pace he should be at, but there’s really no reason to have him back until this summer. We hope he’s 100 percent this summer,” Self added. KU has high hopes for Coleby, who averaged 5.4 points (off 53.2 percent shooting), 4.8 rebounds and 16.5 minutes a game his sophomore season at Ole Miss. “We think he can be good. He’s certainly skilled, a big body,” Self said of the native of Nassau, Bahamas. “Not very tall. He’s only about 6-7. He is a good shooter, has good touch. He’s a guy who can definitely stretch the defense. He’ll be able to make us better.” Coleby has done everything asked of him by KU’s medical staff as he strengthens the left knee.

Manning to announce retirement Englewood, Colo. (ap) — Peyton Manning surveyed the landscape of his brilliant career and called one last audible. He’s retiring a champion. A month after Denver’s triumph in Super Bowl 50, Manning informed John Elway he is following his lead and riding off into that orange sunset just like the Broncos’ boss did 17 years ago after winning his second Super Bowl. Just shy of 40, Manning will forgo $19 million and a 19th season in the NFL, where he served as both a throwback and a transformer during a glittering career bookmarked by an unprecedented five MVP awards and dozens of passing records. “Peyton was a player that guys wanted to play with,” Elway said. “That made us better as a team and I’m thrilled that we were able to win a championship in his final year.” The Broncos scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. today.

Pujols 0-fer; Royals get first victory Tempe, Ariz. (ap) — Albert Pujols was hitless in three atbats during his spring training debut, and the Los Angeles Angels lost 6-1 on Sunday to the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals. In his first at-bat, Pujols — who is coming back from offseason foot surgery — popped to shortstop with runners on first and third and one out. He hit into a double play his second time up, then grounded out in his final turn at the plate. After Pujols underwent surgery on his right foot, there had been speculation he might not be ready for the start of the season. But he said Sunday he should be ready by then. “I felt good at the plate. I felt I had good balance,” said Pujols, who acknowledged feeling “anxious” in his first start. “I felt strong in my leg and no pain at all.” Pujols was the designated hitter, but said he is going through his first-base drills without any problems. For the Royals, Raul Mondesi drove in two runs with a bloop single in the fifth, an inning in which Kansas City stole three bases. Dusty Coleman tripled home a run in the seventh. Alex Gordon went 1-for-3, and Lorenzo Cain was 0-for-3. Mike Trout went 0-for-2 with a walk for the Angels. The Royals got two shutout innings each from Dillon Gee and Chien-Ming Wang, and a scoreless inning apiece from Kelvin Herrera, Brian Flynn and Brooks Pounders. “Our pitching was good all day,” manager Ned Yost said.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

His first came in 2007 with the Indianapolis Colts, who drafted him No. 1 overall in 1998. The Colts gave up on him after a series of neck surgeries forced Manning to miss all of the 2011 season and left him

without feeling in the fingertips of his right hand. A rare superstar quarterback on the open market in 2012, Manning resettled in Denver, where, despite a right arm weakened by nerve damage, he went 50-15 with his fifth MVP award and two trips to the Super Bowl in four seasons. So, defensive coordinators, you can breathe a little easier today: Manning will no longer be on the docket to wreck your game plans and ruin your designs on a title. There will be no more showdowns matching skills with Tom Brady or wits with Bill Belichick — against whom he was just 6-11 but 3-2 in AFC championships. With no more defenses to dissect, the face of the league since the turn of this century no longer has to be buried in an iPad all day, nor will he have to submerge his battered body for hours in a cold tub in a labor of love.

BRAD KESELOWSKI HOISTS THE TROPHY after winning Sunday’s Sprint Cup race in Las Vegas.

Keselowski gambles, wins in Las Vegas Las Vegas — Brad Keselowski spent nearly a full year winless and watching while Team Penske teammate Joey Logano went to Victory Lane five times. Keselowski had to drive through wind, rain, sand and Logano himself to hit it big finally in Vegas again. Keselowski passed Kyle Busch with five laps to go Sunday and surged to his second win in three years in the NASCAR race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway under weird and windy weather conditions. After getting past Logano and tracking down Busch, whose right front wheel vibrated and struggled down the stretch, Keselowski drove his Ford to his first Sprint Cup Series victory since Fontana in March 2015. “For Team Penske, it’s our 50th anniversary,” Keselowski said. “To get the first win of the year, it feels real good.” Keselowski had to gamble on fuel late, and he thought he had blown the race earlier with a speeding penalty. The risks paid off for the 2012 series champion, who claimed he hadn’t been dwelling on his winless skid over the past year. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 34 races,” Keselowski said. “We’ve led a lot of races in that time span. Probably deserved to win a few more races than that. ... There was a lot of misfortune, and then there was a lot of self-inflicted things that I could have done better and beyond. But I can’t sit here and dwell on that.” Logano finished second, and Jimmie Johnson came in third in the opener of NASCAR’s three-week Southwest swing. Busch finished fourth, falling a few laps shy of completing a weekend sweep after dominating the Xfinity Series race Saturday.

Ivanschitz fired from the top left side of the penalty area, and Melia leaped to deflect it. The ball went off the crossbar and to Seattle’s Nelson Valdez, but his bicycle kick from inside the six went over the top.

GOLF

Scott snares 2nd straight Doral, Fla. — Adam Scott has won his second consecutive tournament, making four birdies in his first five holes on the back nine at Doral to help him rally and win the Cadillac Championship by one shot over Bubba Watson. Scott shot 69 on Sunday on Doral’s Blue Monster and finished the week at 12-under 276, scrambling for a wild par on the 18th to clinch the win. He also won last week at The Honda Classic. Scott made a pair of double-bogeys in a three-hole span on his front nine and at one point was six shots out of the lead. But he birdied six of his final 13 holes, while others succumbed on a windy day at Doral. It’s the second win for Scott in a World Golf Championships event, the other coming at Bridgestone in 2011. He’s now a 13-time winner on tour, and hasn’t finished lower than second in any of his last three starts.

Beaty to call plays for KU this season By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sunday’s opening day of spring football practices for Kansas University was much more than just the average happy-to-beback-out-there kind of day. The Jayhawks were thrilled to get started again — mostly so they could officially start moving forward from last year’s 0-12 campaign — but Day One also represented the first opportunity for secondyear head coach David Beaty to implement a role change between himself and offensive coordinator Rob Likens. “Rob is still going to carry the same title,” Beaty said after Sunday’s practice. “But I’m gonna call the offense, and I’m gonna coach the quarterbacks this year. And that doesn’t have anything to do with Rob. It has to do with me. I want to be more actively involved with the QBs and what we do offensively.” Beaty spent a good chunk of Sunday working exclusively with the quarterbacks. That included stretches when he worked one-on-one with injured returning starter Ryan Willis on mental reps. The idea behind the change, Beaty said, came from the fact that, after one year of building a foundation at all levels of the program, he believes he now has the freedom to get back to coaching football. “I love football, and I missed being actively involved in it,” Beaty said. “Offensively, my name’s on it. So I’m gonna get involved in it because of that. I enjoy doing that. It’s a lot of fun. It’s kind of what I got into the business for, and I think it can help us.” The fact that Beaty just replaced five fulltime assistants in the past couple of months might make now seem like the last time one would consider making this kind of

change at such an important position. But Beaty said the make-up of the coaches he hired to replace the five who left helped him pull the trigger. Almost all of them have extensive knowledge and experience in what Beaty referred to as “more of a true Air Raid” system. And their understanding of what Beaty wants to do will allow him to dig into the offense a little deeper. “There’s a reason those guys are here,” Beaty said. “They know what they’re doing. They were almost plug-and-play.” Beaty said the change, both in terms of who will call the plays and what those plays will be, will create an offensive environment that is flexible and puts responsibility on the most important player on the field. “Just empowering the quarterback and him being able to take advantage of what he sees,” said Beaty, asked for a quick summary of the biggest difference between this year’s offense and what KU ran last year. “We’ll utilize those guys’ minds more than we did in the past.” Beaty stopped short of saying Willis would have been the starter entering spring ball had he been fully healthy, but he did call the sophomore who started the final eight games of last season the “incumbent” and talked plenty about how this new offense fits Willis’ skill set. While Willis recovers from the injured right wrist, returners Montell Cozart, Deondre Ford and Keaton Perry, along with red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley, will get more reps and have plenty of opportunity to push Willis. “I love all of those guys,” Beaty said. “We’ve got some talented (quarterbacks). It’s gonna be an interesting race.” In short, while some things about the particulars of KU’s offense may have changed, one key

thing did not. Every player at every position is still going to have to earn everything he gets. As for Likens, Beaty believes he can still be a big-time asset. “He’s a little bit more of a walk-around guy right now,” Beaty said. “It allows him to help me a little bit. Rob can go address some of the running-back stuff, some of the O-line stuff, and we get a chance to come back and make sure we’re really doing everything efficient.” Beaty and the Jayhawks will take today off and get back to work Tuesday for practice No. 2 of the 15-practice spring session.

Roster changes A couple of wellknown names from rosters past no longer appear on KU’s most recently updated roster. Tight end Kent Taylor and linebacker Schyler Miles, both Florida natives who had one year of eligibility remaining, will not be back with the Jayhawks in 2016. Beaty had good things to say about both players and added that each did what was best for him. In Taylor’s case, that was to leave the program to return closer to home. “I hated it,” Beaty said. “Because I loved him. I didn’t want him to leave. I wish him the best of luck, and I hope it works out for him.” Miles’ departure was simply a case of a career full of knee injuries catching up with him. “That poor guy. I tell ya, I don’t know if I’ve seen a guy more banged up than Schyler was,” Beaty said. “Between his knee and his hip, that guy has been through it now. His knee is in bad shape. “He and his parents, we all thought it was in his best interest for him to be done. He was just hurt. It would’ve been unfair for us to ask him to continue on because he really couldn’t.”

a college head coach and one year as an offensive coordinator in college (Rice, 2010). The Owls ranked 87th among 128 Football Bowl Subdivision schools with 26.1 points per game and went 4-8 that season. Now Beaty is going to juggle both jobs in the same year against a Big 12 schedule with a roster than went winless a year ago. Beaty has made a gutsy gamble on himself, shoving all of his chips to the center of the table so early in the game. By doing so, he has accomplished the impossible and turned the erstwhileeasy-to-ignore 2016 Kansas football season into a fascinating experiment with such a high degree of difficulty rating.

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team earned the top seed in the Class 6A state tournament and will play eighth-seeded Dodge City in the first round at 3 p.m. Thursday at Wichita State’s Koch Arena. The Lions enter the tournament with the best record, 20-2, in the 6A field. If they beat the Redmen (12-10), they will face fourth-seeded Wichita Southeast (18-4) or fifthseeded Olathe East (18-4) in the semifinals at 4:45 p.m. Friday. The third-place game is slated for 2 p.m. Saturday and the semifinal winners will play at 6:15 p.m.

Coleby

He definitely enjoyed his two-plus hours in the gym Sunday. “I think it’s a great idea. It’s nice to spend time with the Olympians and work with them a little bit,” Coleby said. “This is awesome,” KU junior Landen Lucas said. “I’ve been doing it for a couple years now, and each year it never gets old. We learn so much from seeing these Olympians. Everyone is so happy to be here, and it is encouraging for us because it gives us an emotional burst of energy.” Noted Self: “This is not a ‘have to,’ it is a ‘want to.’ I told the kids after the game last night, I said, ‘Let’s forget about ball for a day. Well, kind of. We’ve got Special Olympics tomorrow.’ The ones who have done it before were excited, telling all the young guys who haven’t participated yet how much fun we’ll have. This is a good day.”

“I’ve been rehabbing, trying to get better,” Coleby said. “It’s hard. Every time I start a new exercise, (the) knee swells and gets a little sore. After you work through, it feels better. It’s just getting stronger now. I’m used to it (rehab) by now. It’s an everyday thing,” he added, noting he’d be able to play in pickup games, “probably by the summer, hopefully.” Coleby and his teammates worked with the Olympians a day after claiming an emotional 85-78 Senior Day victory over Iowa State. “It is always a great place to be in,” Coleby said of Allen Fieldhouse, “and a great place to play on Senior Night.

No. 12 Indiana 80, No. 14 Maryland 62 Indianapolis — Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell had 17 points in his final home game, while Troy Williams matched his career high with 23 points to lead Indiana past Maryland on Sunday. With the win, the Big Ten champion Hoosiers (25-6, 15-3) finished 17-0 at home and completed their first perfect season Cincinnati 61, at Assembly Hall since No. 24 SMU 54 Cincinnati — 2006-07.

Caupain scored 14 points despite missing all of six his shots from beyond the arc, and Cincinnati overcame poor shooting to end SMU’s season. The Bearcats (22-9, 12-6 American Athletic) held on despite shooting 29.5 percent from the field overall, including 1-of19 from beyond the arc. They made a difference at the free-throw line, going 24-of-30. Caupain made only four of 19 shots. It was a final disappointment for SMU (255, 13-5), which is banned Troy from postseason play.

HASKELL INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE TYLER SUMPTER SHOOTS A THREE during a practice on Friday at Coffin Complex. Haskell will leave today for Sioux City, Iowa, site of the NAIA Div. II Women’s Basketball Championships.

Haskell women craft feel-good tale ————

Fightin’ Indians headed to Sioux City, Iowa, for NAIA National Championships By Mac Moore Special to the Journal-World

Fans of Haskell Indian Nations University haven’t had much to cheer lately. Haskell lost its conference affiliation when the nine-member Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference dissolved last April. The university announced it was cutting its long-struggling football program in May due to budget concerns. Then along came Haskell’s women’s basketball team. The Fightin’ Indians finally overtook a longtime foe and overcame the nine-game injury loss of key junior forward Keli Warrior to earn a trip to the NAIA Div. II National Championships. The turning point, coach Shane Flanagan said, came Feb. 16, when Haskell fell, for the second time this season, to College of the Ozarks at Coffin Complex.

“We talked about setting the goal of meeting them in the championship,” Flanagan said. “I told them we were going to win the conference championship because of that experience.” They did. College of the Ozarks entered the Feb. 28 championship game of the Association of Independent Institutions on a 14-game winning streak. It had won 28 straight against Haskell, dating to 2001. Haskell won that AII title game, 80-75. Both titlegame teams earned NAIA championship berths. “It meant the world,” Warrior said. “To finally beat this team, it says a lot.” Sophomore forward Tyler Sumpter and junior guard Cerissa Honena-Reyes each scored 19 points. Sumpter was voted tournament MVP; Honena-Reyes, Warrior and senior guard Arnetia Begay were named to the all-tournament team.

HASKELL WOMEN’S COACH SHANE FLANAGAN instructs his players during practice. “We were so close before,” Sumpter said. “We just wanted to put that record to rest and be the team that beat them.” The Indians never won an MCAC championship during the conference’s 20-year existence. The College of the Ozarks won 16 of the regular-season championships and 18 conference tournament titles.

The Lady Cats’ dominance followed Haskell to the AII after the MCAC dissolved. Flanagan said it became a psychological problem. “We needed to get over that hump. We’ve competed with them every year, but we couldn’t finish games,” he said. “Coming off that (Feb. 28) game, the girls are excited and confident.” The Indians were any-

thing but confident earlier this season. They went 20-9 last year — their first winning season since 2010 — and opened this season 6-0. Then Warrior went down. Twice. After suffering an Achilles tendon injury in a car crash last November, Warrior returned in two weeks only to be sidelined by mononucleosis for a month. With no other experienced post players, the Indians went 6-3 as they transitioned to sophomore Brandi Buffalo starting at center. Warrior was an effective pick-and-roll and low-post player. Buffalo forced the Indians to change their style, working more on the pick-andpop action with Sumpter. Once Warrior reclaimed her starting role, the team could play varied lineups. Flanagan said that had allowed the team to be a more efficient on offensive. “The kids are used to

different looks when different kids are in,” he said. “When I pull Keli and put Brandi in, we have a completely different look, but we are just as efficient. So I think that helped us out tremendously.” After a victory nearly 15 years in the making, Flanagan said the team has done a great job of focusing on the next tournament and setting the goal of winning a national title. “Athletically, we match up with anybody,” he said. “Now the girls are playing hard, competing and starting to believe in themselves, which is very important this time of year.” Haskell (23-6) will play the first round of the NAIA tournament against Dakota Wesleyan (25-8) at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in Sioux City, Iowa. The campus plans a sendoff for the team at noon today at Coffin Complex.
