Oread group agrees to comply with city demands By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Developers of The Oread hotel are now ready to settle an approximately $500,000 tax dispute with the city of Lawrence, and City Hall

Fritzel

leaders are expressing optimism that the developers will fully comply with the city’s demands. In a written statement Tuesday, Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said Roger Walter, an attorney for Oread Inn, notified the

city last week that developers would “fully comply” with a list of City Hall demands to end the dispute that centers on whether the Oread group, led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel, inflated sales tax totals in order to collect a city subsidy. No formal

settlement has been reached, and, for now, the city will continue withholding sales and property tax reimbursements from the group, Stoddard said. Walter confirmed his group is seeking to settle. Walter said Tuesday that

Oread Inn is taking steps to remedy “any alleged default” in the group’s redevelopment agreement with the city. He said the group “looks forward to continued cooperation with the city of Please see OREAD, page 2A

Brownback ended the rally by urging activists to continue fighting for “religious liberty.” Kansas enacted a religious objections law in 2013 that prevents the state or local governments from limiting people’s freedom to express their religion, although the law does not touch on organizations at universities. Supporters of the measure said it was created in response to pressure on school religious organizations to accept anyone as a member, even if their beliefs conflict with those of the group. Critics argued the bill allows groups that are funded by taxpayer dollars to discriminate and could jeopardize federal funding. “We’re standing up for the right of individuals to have religious beliefs, even if they’re on a college campus that frowns upon them,” Republican Rep. Craig McPherson of Overland Park said in favor of the measure. Democratic Rep. Brandon Whipple, of Wichita, said he opposed the measure passed by the House. “If we’re going to provide freedom, we must be just in doing so,” Whipple said.

County officials look forward to future of fairgrounds after improvements By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Those involved with planning new facilities at the Douglas County Fairgrounds concede they don’t fully know what events might be held there when they become available for use next year. “It’s already extremely busy out there and used a lot,” said Douglas County assistant administrator Sarah Plinsky. “We really think these new facilities will make the fair-

grounds infinitely more useful. We already have softball teams practicing in the indoor arena. I know people will use these new amenities in ways we never meant. We’re fine with that, as long as it’s safe.” Construction on the longanticipated $7.95 million fairgrounds project got underway last month when work started on the new 7,600-square-foot meeting hall, which is slated to be finished for this year’s county fair. Construction bids have been awarded for the $2.75

million, 52,000-square-foot open pavilion and the $1.75 million, 1,935-seat event arena, Plinsky said. Associated upgrades will build new restrooms and add 184 new parking spaces through expansions of current parking lots and construction of a new one. The project also would address the fairgrounds’ accessibility issues and deferred maintenance needs, Plinsky said. Please see UPGRADES, page 2A

CURRENT CONSTRUCTION WORK AT THE DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS includes clearing land for a 52,000-squarefoot open pavilion to be located on the fairgrounds’ north side, directly east of the indoor arena. The pavilion will be open for spring, summer and fall. During the county fair, it will be used to house animals. This view is looking west from near the derby arena toward the current indoor community building in background at left. The site of the new pavilion will be in the cleared area at center.

Why we don’t always publish mugshots

he saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes they’re worth a few questions too — especially when the photo is a mugshot from the Douglas County Jail. Apologies to those of you who tuned in to Town Talk for the latest information on business happenings, development talk, City Hall scuttlebutt and other such topics. I’ll get back to those soon enough. But as some of you may know, my other role here at the newspaper is as managing editor. So, I want to use this column to

for example, run a regular online feature that basically publishes the booking photos of everyone who is detained at their area jails. I don’t have any desire to do that in Lawrence. I don’t think it would be a good use of our time, and I don’t want to be accused of running booking photos simply to satisfy some morbid curiosities. But I do believe there are good reasons to run booking photos with significant crime stories, and I’m disappointed when we are unable to do so. Please see MUGSHOTS, page 8A

The answer is simple: Many times the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office won’t provide us with a mugshot, more formally known by law enforcement as a booking photo. I had Conrad Swanson, the J-W’s crime and courts reporter, check his records to determine how often this happens. Since December, he has requested booking photos 30 times. We’ve been denied 16 times. That seems like a lot to me, especially given that in many counties the booking photos are simply placed on a county website for anyone to see. Some area newspapers,

Lawrence under that agreement.” But he stopped short of saying that the Oread group had agreed to repay the approximately $500,000 in taxpayer funds that the city alleges the development group improperly received. A report commissioned by the Oread group contends the development group was overpaid only about $90,000 in taxpayer funds, not $500,000 as alleged by the city. Walter said in a written statement Tuesday that, although developers are complying with other demands, “Oread Inn will continue to assert its right to contest repayment of a portion of those funds.” Findings of a city-ordered audit alleged last year that Oread Wholesale, a tenant of The Oread hotel, manipulated sales tax data to inflate sales within a special taxing district at the hotel.

line Stoddard set for Oread Inn to address a list of demands that developers have previously protested. The city sent a letter to developers Feb. 11 saying Oread Inn had defaulted on the redevelopment agreement, and that the city would have grounds to terminate the agreement if the demands weren’t met in 30 days. If the city terminated the agreement, developers would lose up to $8 million in future subsidies from the special taxing district, which has since 2008 generated $3 million in sales and property tax reimbursements for the group. News of Oread Inn’s compliance comes weeks after developers said they’d be willing to compromise with the city in an attempt to end the dispute without litigation. At the time, it was unclear whether the city would agree to settlement talks. Oread Inn followed up on that request with a host of documents denouncing findings of the cityordered audit. The demands developers have now said they’ll meet are: l Reimbursing the city

DARYL FRANCIS ROCKERS, 69, lifelong resident of Baldwin City, Kansas, passed away on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at his home. Daryl was born September 1, 1946 in Ottawa, KS, the son of Charles and Clara (Engemann) Rockers. He attended schools in Baldwin City, KS and graduated from Baldwin High School, Class of 1965. Daryl was united in marriage to Glenda Jo Schutz on July 25, 1970. Daryl and Glenda Jo shared over 45 years of marriage. Daryl was drafted soon out of high school to serve his country with the United States Army for two years. After a one year tour of duty in Vietnam, he returned to Baldwin City in 1967. At that time he went to work for the Soil Conservation Service with his good buddy Lee Whaley as a technical aid. In 1969, he went to work operating heavy equipment for Rockers Excavating, (a company his father started in 1953). He then worked the next forty seven years as a faithful employee doing soil conservation projects all over several counties. You cannot drive one mile without seeing some improvement he has done on farmland with his dozer. He loved his job and all of his customers. In fact, the last full day of his life, 3/11/16, he did what he loved to do; he worked a ten hour day building terraces with Glenn. His hobbies included tending to his motherinlaw’s cows and woodworking. Daryl is survived by his wife, Glenda Jo, of the home; a daughter, Rhonda Jo Carlisle, and husband, Bob, of Baldwin City; a grandson, Alex Carlisle, of

Walter confirmed Oread Inn would agree to those demands, including amending the redevelopment agreement. Walter also said Oread Inn received consent from Oread Wholesale to provide the wholesale company’s tax documents. Both Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale are led by Fritzel. Stoddard said developers were in the process of handing those documents over to Allen, Gibbs & Houlik.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charlie and Clara Rockers; a brother, Leon Rockers, and his wife, Mary Lou Rockers; a sisterinlaw, Joanne Rockers; and a brotherin law, Darryl Bell. To celebrate Daryl’s life, the family will receive friends from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at Lamb Roberts Funeral Home, Baldwin City, KS. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 17, 2016 at the Annunciation Catholic Church, Baldwin City. Inurnment will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Baldwin City. Memorial contributions are suggested to Daryl Rockers Memorial Fund sent in c/o LambRoberts Funeral Home, P.O. Box 64, Baldwin City, KS 66006. Condolences may be sent to family through www.lambroberts.com. Please sign this guestbook at Obituaries. LJWorld.com.

But there are still questions about the amount of money Oread Inn owes the city. The city has demanded Oread Inn pay $492,914.86 — the amount the city says it overpaid Oread Inn, plus interest. Oread Inn paid that amount “under protest” by a Dec. 31 deadline. Walter said the group would reserve its right to contest payment of that amount, but he did not provide details about whether his clients would seek to have a portion of the money they paid returned. The Oread Inn previously alleged that the city had defaulted on the redevelopment agreement by withholding sales and property tax reimbursements. The city suspended its reimbursements to the group June 9 during its investigation into the special taxing district. Neither Stoddard nor Walter made mention of that default notice Tuesday. Stoddard said the city is continuing to withhold reimbursements. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 and nwentling@ljworld.com.

Upgrades CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Earthwork has started for the open pavilion to be built on a site east of the current indoor arena. Plinsky said that new building should be completed in December. As an open-air facility with no heating, it will not be used in the winter and will host its first event this time next year, she said. The project’s final big piece is the event arena, which will replace the derby arena. Work on that venue will not start until after the fair and should be completed about the same time as the open pavilion, she said. Other work awaiting the fair’s completion is the razing of current livestock exhibition barns, which will no longer be needed with the livestock judging arena that is part of the open pavilion, Plinsky said. Although Plinsky and Douglas County Commission Chairman Jim Flory, who served on the subcommittee with Plinsky that developed the master plan for the fairgrounds’ improvements, anticipate unexpected uses to pop up, they said the new facilities were designed with specific uses in mind. For example, the event arena’s horseshoe design closed to the west provides enough room for the fair’s demolition derby and a rodeo, Plinsky said. Open ground to the east is available for events needing more space, such as tractor pulls and BMX races, she said. Although she envisions the open pavilion to be in demand for car, home and trade shows, many of its features were designed to accommodate livestock shows, Plinsky said. It would have an attached livestock judging arena, semi-truck parking, an animal wash bay and an adjacent 16-slot RV parking lot that could be doubled. “I don’t think people understand what kind of special event a livestock show is,” Plinsky said. “If someone brings a $30,000 quarter horse to an event, they’re not going to leave it alone overnight, and you can’t take a horse with you to your room at The Eldridge. That explains the need for RV parking.” What was learned in the design process was a growing demand for venues that provide indoor and outdoor space, Plinsky said. When the new facilities are in place, the fairgrounds would be positioned to host such events as horse shows, which need boarding areas and outdoor performance space, Plinsky said. The county will work with eXplore Lawrence to help market the upgraded fairgrounds and create a presence on the county’s website, on which reservations can be booked, Plinsky said. Nonetheless, she said much of the marketing will be word of mouth. “Right now, the fairgrounds are booked a year in advance,” she said. “I generally don’t have to worry about getting the word out.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

Douglas County ranks as the eighth healthiest county in Kansas for the third year in a row, according to the annual County Health Rankings report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin. Johnson and Thomas counties took first and second. Riley County, which ranked No. 1 last year, slid to No. 14. Labette and Wyandotte counties ranked lowest, at No. 100 and 101. The rankings compare counties across the United States using local data on more than 30 factors that influence health, including education, housing, jobs, access to healthy food and more. Counties’ overall rankings depended on two summary scores: health factors, which are behavioral, socioeconomic and environmental factors that impact health; and health outcomes, which measure disease and death, according to an analysis by the Kansas Health Institute. Douglas County ranked No. 11 in health factors and No. 8 in health outcomes. Please see HEALTH, page 4A

Student activist faces municipal drug charges

Kansas University student and former leader of KU’s Black Student Union who was arrested last month on drug charges is scheduled to appear in court next Tuesday. Kennedi Grant, 20, was arrested Feb. 5 on suspicion of possession of marijuana, a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. Shortly after her arrest, Grant was released from Douglas County Jail after Grant posting a $5,000 bond. Her first appearance in Douglas County District Court was canceled after the case was referred to Lawrence Municipal Court. Now, more than a month

later, Grant faces once misdemeanor charge each of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a criminal complaint filed in Lawrence Municipal Court. Grant is scheduled for an arraignment at 10 a.m. on March 22. There a judge will formally read her charges and she will enter a plea. In November of last year, Grant, who was then president of KU’s Black Student Union, and a group of students calling themselves Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk interrupted KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and others as they spoke at a KU

town hall forum on race. The group issued a list of diversityrelated demands. Grant, who identified herself as Kynnedi Grant to the Journal-World, said from the stage that she and some friends

were verbally and physically assaulted at an off-campus house party on Halloween, were called racial slurs and had a gun pulled on them. She accused Lawrence police of failing to investigate the incident because she and her friends are black. A police report on the alleged incident was filed, however. The case remains under investigation by Lawrence police, according to Lawrence police Sgt. Trent McKinley. Grant does not have any prior criminal record in Douglas County District Court.

School board member to take Health ‘less active role,’ focus on startup

awrence school board member Kris Adair said she will be “taking a less active role” on the school board through May. Adair did not participate in semifinalist interviews, finalist interviews or the final vote for the Lawrence school district’s new superintendent. District spokeswoman Julie Boyle said last week that Adair’s absence was due to a scheduling conflict. The school Adair board selected current assistant superintendent Kyle Hayden as the district’s incoming superintendent on a 6-0 vote, a decision that Adair said via email that she supports. Adair — who is the director

of the Lawrence Center for Entrepreneurship — explained that she wasn’t able to participate in the final stages of the superintendent decision because of a business commitment. Adair said that she is one of three founders of a new company, Mycroft. Mycroft is a voice-command operating system for the home, according to its website. The company was recently accepted into a 90-day business accelerator program called Techstars that is

designed to help businesses expand. “During the 90 days that I’m here learning to be a better entrepreneur I’ll be taking a less active role in the School Board,” Adair said. “(School board President) Vanessa (Sanburn) is a fantastic leader and our board has a cooperative consensus based approach to governance. I’ll return to a more active role after the Techstars program concludes on May 24. Until then I’ll remain in close contact with the board president and will be in attendance when necessary.” The school board typically meets every two weeks. The next board meeting is March 21 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. — This is an excerpt from Rochelle Valverde’s First Bell column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

200K-300K gallons of water lost in line break in Eudora Eudora’s middle school is without water for its emergency sprinkler system. Fortunately the students are out on spring break this week, said City Manager Gary Ortiz. Tuesday morning city crews discovered a water line break on school property, which is located at 2635 Church St., Ortiz said. The line feeds directly into the school’s fire service line. It was not immediately clear how long the water line had been leaking, but

Ortiz estimated around 200,000 to 300,000 gallons of water were lost because of the break. “It had been leaking for some time,” he said. Despite the large amount of water lost there has been no damage to public or private property, Ortiz said. Because the break was on school property rather than city property, private contractors were enlisted to fix the issue, Ortiz said. Initially crews working to fix the leak shut off the wrong water valve, causing homes on Eudora’s south side to lose water

service for a short period of time, Ortiz said. “And they did get a few calls into the utility office saying, ‘hey, we’re out of water,’” he said. “For about 10 minutes they had the wrong valve shut off, but they reopened the valve that affected the residential area.” Despite hundreds of thousands of gallons of water lost, Ortiz said the city’s three water towers still have plenty left in reserve and can replenish up to 900 gallons per minute. — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

The court did not say that the Legislature must spend more money to satisfy equity. The court did not say that the Legislature CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A must reinstate the old system, or anything. It The House Appropria- simply said fix equity.”

tions Committee heard testimony on its bill Tuesday. It would restore the old formula used for calculating “equalization aid” for capital outlay and local option budgets. State law caps the amount of money districts can raise in those funds, and then it provides equalization aid to make sure property taxes are relatively equal among the state’s 286 districts. So an increase in state aid for Lawrence would only mean that a smaller portion of those funds would need to come from local taxes. According to an analysis of the House bill by the Kansas State Department of Education, the Lawrence school district would receive about $2.1 million more in aid next year than it received this year. That would enable

— Dave Trabert, president of the Kansas Policy Institute

the district to reduce its property tax levy by about 2 mills, or about $35 in tax on a home valued at $150,000. The Eudora district would gain $190,105 in local option budget and capital outlay aid under the bill, according to the Department of Education. The Baldwin City district would gain $180,772. Statewide, the House bill would cost the state about $37 million in additional school funding next year. Part of that would come from sweeping money out of an “extraordinary needs” fund, money set aside to provide additional funding to districts that experience unusual drops in property value or increases in en-

rollment. The rest would come from cuts and adjustments to other state programs, said Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. The Senate bill would provide the same amount of increase in capital outlay and local option budget aid, but that would be offset by about $37 million in cuts to general state aid, making it almost budget-neutral. Under that bill, Lawrence would lose nearly $825,000 in general state aid, in exchange for the $2.1 million increase in capital outlay and local option budget funding, for a net gain of about $1.3 million. The Eudora district

Several health factors affected Douglas County’s ranking, according to the KHI analysis. The top factors that improved the county’s ranking included adult obesity, ranking at 23 percent compared with the state’s 30 percent; percentage of adults with some college education, at 81.7 percent compared with 68.7 percent; and number of preventable hospital stays, at 31 per 1,000 Medicare enrollees compared with the state’s 55. However, the county’s ranking was negatively affected by the percentage of adults reporting binge drinking — 21 percent, compared with a state average of 17 percent — and severe housing problems, or percentage of households with overcrowding, high cost or lack of kitchen or plumbing facilities, at 22 percent compared with the state’s 13 percent. Douglas County has the second-highest percentage of severe housing problems in the state, just behind Riley County’s 25 percent, and secondhighest binge drinking rate behind Riley County — 21 percent and 22 percent, respectively. The top five health outcomes positively affecting the county’s ranking include premature death, low birth weight, percentage of adults reporting poor or fair health, and poor physical health days. Douglas County ranked No. 5 in length of life and continues to improve while state and national rates are on the decline. However, the average number of poor mental health days reported in the past 30 days in Douglas County had a negative impact, at 3.1 compared with the state value of 3. “The picture of Dougwould lose $110,744 in general state aid, leaving it with a net gain of $79,361. The Baldwin City district would lose $100,200 in base aid, leaving it with a net gain of $80,572. Despite those net gains, though, the Senate bill would result in overall reduced spending authority because of the reductions in each district’s general state aid. During Tuesday’s hearing in the House committee, no one spoke in favor or against the bill, although five organizations, including two Johnson County school districts, offered neutral testimony. Both the Kansas Association of School Boards and the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute said they supported reinstating the old funding formula, but they had objections to other parts of the House bill. KASB’s Mark Tallman said that some districts that gained funding under the block grant bill would lose funding under

las County that emerges from the 2016 County Health Rankings is one of a well-educated, active community with good recreational opportunities and positive economic indicators, all factors that contribute to its positive ranking compared to the rest of the state,” said Dr. Gianfranco Pezzino, senior fellow and strategy team leader at KHI, via email. “Areas for improvement include encouraging more healthy behaviors (especially in regard to excessive alcohol drinking, the secondhighest in the state, and sexually transmitted infections) and reducing income inequality among the county residents (the third-worst in the state).” Behavioral health factors that affect the county’s ranking have seen some change. Douglas County’s rate of adult obesity has been sloping slightly downward since 2008, and at 23 percent ranks alongside Johnson County for the lowest in the state. The percentage of adults reporting no leisure-time physical activity is also on the decline, and at 19 percent is thirdlowest in state, behind Riley and Johnson counties. Also, the percentage of the population with adequate access to locations for physical activity is 91 percent, or third-highest in the state behind Johnson and Geary counties (99 percent and 95 percent, respectively) and tying with Riley. The county ranks No. 7 statewide in clinical care, with percentages of uninsured, preventable hospital stays, diabetic monitoring and mammography screening all trending positively. The county also falls above the state average ratio of population to mental health care providers — 354:1 compared with 550:1. — Reporter Mackenzie Clark can be reached at mclark@ljworld.com or 832-7198.

the new bill and would thus have to raise taxes to make up the difference. “However, that is exactly what most districts had to do in the current year because the Legislature reduced the aid formula for 2014-15 and froze state aid at that reduced level for the current year and next year,” he said. Kansas Policy Institute president Dave Trabert said his group supported addressing the equity issue cited by the Supreme Court, but he said doing so should not require additional state spending. “The court did not say that the Legislature must spend more money to satisfy equity. The court did not say that the Legislature must reinstate the old system, or anything,” Trabert said. “It simply said fix equity.” The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to conduct a hearing on its bill today. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Senate overrides STAR bond veto By Peter Hancock

“

The bond attorneys who spoke to us said the odds of a downgrade may not be great, but it’s certainly a possibility, and the issue Topeka — The Kansas Senate voted Tuesday will have to be addressed when the next to override Gov. Sam bonds are sold.” Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Brownback’s line-item veto of a budget proviso blocking the formation of any new sales tax revenue, or STAR, bond districts in Wyandotte County. But senators narrowly sustained Brownback’s veto of another bill that would block his administration from entering into any contracts for the demolition of the Docking State Office Building or the relocation of its power plant without legislative approval. The STAR bonds override passed, 30-8. That issue now goes to the House for consideration. But the veto of the bill blocking demolition of the Docking building went down, 26-13, one vote short of the twothirds majority needed. The issue of STAR bonds had particularly irritated lawmakers, including Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, after they learned early this year that the administration was planning to divert about $46 million a year in sales tax revenue from the Village West shopping center in Kansas City, Kan., to help fund new projects in other Wyandotte County districts, including one that has not yet been approved where the administration hopes to lure the American Royal livestock show now located in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City, Mo. STAR bonds are a way of financing new infrastructure in a commercial development by using the new sales taxes generated by the project to pay off

— Sen. Steve Abrams, R-Arkansas City bonds that are used to finance the roads, water and sewer lines, and other infrastructure in the district. The Village West area was the first STAR bond district established in Kansas, and sales taxes from that development are scheduled to go back onto the state’s tax rolls in January 2017. “We put the proviso on the budget bill to prohibit new STAR bond districts from being developed in Wyandotte (County) until we could develop reform legislation to prohibit those transfers,” he said. “The STAR bond statute is very clear, very specific legislative intent. STAR bond districts stand by themselves. Property and sales tax revenue is not to be transferred between the districts.” Denning said information about the administration’s plan to divert money that was scheduled to come into the state’s coffers starting in 2017 was only briefly mentioned in the November consensus revenue estimates, but the full details did not come to light until lawmakers started asking questions in later budget committee meetings. In his veto message, Brownback did not address that issue, but said he thought it was unfair to single out one county for different treatment regarding STAR bonds. And Tuesday, just before the Senate voted to override his veto, he is-

sued a statement saying he would block any new STAR bond proposals anywhere in the state. “I am hereby informing the Legislature that the Department of Commerce will not approve any new STAR Bond projects in any other county,” he said. “This policy would apply to any project not yet approved by the Department of Commerce, and is within my authority under Article 1, Section 3 of the state Constitution.” The bill dealing with the Docking building and its power plant, which provides heating and air conditioning throughout the Capitol Complex in Topeka, was passed last month in the wake of controversy over the administration’s decision to move forward with relocating a power plant from that 10-story office building to clear way for its demolition. Lawmakers had raised concerns about the cost of that project after bids came in much higher than expected. But the Brownback administration moved ahead anyway, signing a lease-purchase agreement with Bank of America and a construction contract for the project. Both the House and Senate passed the bill to cut off funding for that project, a maneuver they said would allow the project to be canceled without having to pay penalty fees to the bank or con-

tractor. But Brownback vetoed the bill, and then canceled the contracts on his own, resulting in more than $2 million in penalty fees. Before the override vote, the administration had warned that it could damage the state’s credit rating by sending a signal to bond markets that the Kansas Legislature was willing to cut off funding for previously approved projects. That was the subject of heated discussion Monday in a Senate Republican Caucus meeting, and several members said they were not persuaded by that argument. “Senate Bill 250 cannot impact Kansas’ bond rating unless it impacts a debt subject to annual appropriation. It clearly does not,” said Senate Vice President Jeff King, R-Independence. “The Kansas Legislature has not, and will not ever, fail to appropriate money to pay state debts.” Others, however, said they worried that a credit downgrade was enough of a possibility to justify sustaining the governor’s veto. “The bond attorneys who spoke to us said the odds of a downgrade may not be great, but it’s certainly a possibility, and the issue will have to be addressed when the next bonds are sold,” said Sen. Steve Abrams, RArkansas City. “Since the contract is nullified, and since there’s the possibility of a Kansas downgrade that could cost the state millions of dollars, the logical conclusion is that there’s another agenda at work behind the scenes.”

House speaker removes 2 committee heads By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick removed two Republican lawmakers as chairmen of powerful committees Tuesday following an unsuccessful maneuver on the House floor to bring up a bill that could have been a vehicle for amendments to expand casino gaming in Kansas. Rep. John Rubin, RShawnee, who initiated the maneuver, was removed as chairman of the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, which is currently working on a massive overhaul of the state’s juvenile justice code. And Rep. John Barker, R-Abilene, was removed as chairman of the Rules Committee, a position that gave him authority to rule on parliamentary motions in the House. “Today there was an attempt to manipulate the House Rules and pull a bill out of committee despite a hearing on the issue in House Appropriations scheduled for Wednesday,” Merrick, R-Stilwell, said in a statement announcing the action. The drama began shortly after the House came into session Tuesday when Rubin rose to make a motion to pull Senate Bill 415 out of committee and place it on the House calendar for immediate debate. Rubin said the bill had been on the House calendar, but that Merrick had improperly taken the bill off the calendar and referred it to another committee, something he said requires a vote by a majority of House members. Part of that bill deals with charitable raffles. But because the topic broadly

includes legalized gambling, it could have become a vehicle for amendments for other kinds of expanded gaming. Barker had introduced a bill earlier in the session Rubin dealing with slot machines at parimutuel racetracks. It would have increased the percentage of revenue from slot machines that the machine owners are allowed to keep, creating Barker more of an incentive for them to reopen dog and horse tracks in Kansas that have not been in full operation for years. Ironically, after a lengthy pause in House action that lasted about an hour, it was Barker, as chairman of the

Rules Committee, who ruled Rubin’s motion out of order. Merrick’s office would not expand on why Barker was punished over the controversy. Merrick did say in his statement that the issue of expanded gaming in Kansas is scheduled for a hearing in the House Appropriations Committee today. “This is a complex issue,” he said. “There is the possibility that expanded gaming in Kansas could result in the state being forced to pay over $100 million to the current operators of the state owned casinos.” He said an opinion on the legal details of the issue has

been requested from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office. “This isn’t a decision we should take lightly at this time, but especially in light of these circumstances,” he said. Rubin will be replaced as chair of the Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee by the former vice chair, Rep. Ramon Gonzalez, R-Perry, who said he will continue working on the juvenile justice overhaul bill. Rep. Jan Pauls, R-Hutchinson, was named the new vice chair. Pauls will also replace Barker as chair of the Rules Committee. That is a committee where a member of the minority party automatically serves as vice chair. Rep. Tom Sawyer, D-Wichita, currently serves in that position.

A chance to teach kids lessons schools won’t Dear Annie: I am a certified school nurse, but I understand the frustrations of teachers. They are being mandated to teach more and more, with increasing pushes for accountability, and with raises and evaluations tied to test scores. Most are highly educated professionals with a passion for children and education. They are mandated not only to teach the subjects that are important for a student’s education, but also to teach things that should be taught at home. Morality, ethics and character education are now woven into the school’s curriculum. At what point do we hold parents responsible? You’ve printed letters from those who want schools to teach cursive and how to balance a checkbook. Instead of pointing fingers at schools, I challenge

‘Americans’ hope to find a bioweapon Imagine that you had a TV set that only got one channel. And it was the FX Network. You’d still be watching three of this year’s best series: “Fargo,” “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” and, beginning tonight, season four of “The Americans” (9 p.m., TV-MA). All three are flawlessly cast, impressively produced period pieces hearkening back to 1979, 1995 and the early 1980s, respectively. Years ago, when FX introduced “The Shield,” the network announced that it was competing with HBO. I think it’s safe to say that FX has now surpassed HBO, a premium viewing option that, except for “Game of Thrones,” remains in search of a new can’t-miss series. HBO has come to resemble the New York Yankees. Both institutions share a city and an emphasis on a storied legacy. But television, like baseball, unfolds in the present tense. As season four opens, Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) once again have to prove their loyalty to their Soviet handler, Gabriel (played with brilliantly beleaguered ennui by Frank Langella), by taking a very dangerous assignment locating an unstable bioweapon. As always, the lies the couple weave to maintain their front as placid suburban travel agents have a way of unraveling. It was one thing for them to reveal their identities to their idealistic daughter, Paige (Holly Taylor). But now that her pastor knows, what options do they have? O “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) returns with an episode that could be a season, or series, finale. Rayna and Deacon finally tie the knot, in a ceremony filled with music and melodrama. There’s plenty of the former, but not nearly enough of the latter, and that’s what’s gone wrong with this prime-time soap. Not unlike “Downton Abbey” in its final seasons, “Nashville” has entirely too many noble, flawed, yet understandable characters and too few certifiable villains. None, in fact. “Nashville” has become so PG that it was a relief to see Connie Britton take a break from her goodie-goodie Rayna character to play the sleazy Faye Resnick on “The People v. O.J. Simpson.” Now that was fun! Tonight’s other highlights

Obama’s Cuba trip is ill-conceived

EDITORIALS

Lucky day A fun parade and the Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament — what more could Lawrence residents want on St. Patrick’s Day?

he organizers of Thursday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Lawrence know their audi-

ence. The parade is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and wrap up no later than 2:30 p.m. to make sure the spectators on Massachusetts Street have time to find a television set before Kansas University’s opening game in the NCAA Tournament, scheduled for 3 p.m. “I think with the game being at 3, everyone’s going to have the tendency to move a little quicker this year,” said Charlie Upton, co-chair of the event. Like KU basketball, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a special Lawrence event. Organizers have been working for months not only to plan events but to raise money for this year’s beneficiary, The Shelter, Inc., which provides services for local families with a focus on children at risk. Judy Culley, director of development at The Shelter, and retired Douglas County District Judge Jean Shepherd will serve as grand marshals for this year’s parade. According to its website, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee has donated more than $852,621 to local charities since the event was started in 1988. Last year, the parade committee donated $48,000 to three local organizations. For the last decade, proceeds have been divided among more than one charitable group, but, this year, the committee decided to focus solely on The Shelter. The hard work of this group brings a joyful and enthusiastic event to downtown Lawrence every St. Patrick’s Day, and, the rest of the year, the money the committee raises has an ongoing impact on the community. Between the parade and basketball, Thursday is bound to be an exciting day in Lawrence. We hope the mild, mostly sunny weather forecast holds true and that the luck of the Irish will shine both on the parade and the Jayhawks in Des Moines.

Many of us generally support President Barack Obama’s decision to re-establish relations with Cuba, but his upcoming trip to the island, including possible attendance at a U.S-Cuba baseball game alongside Cuban dictator Gen. Raul Castro, is premature, poorly planned and wrong. You may be asking yourself what’s the big deal about Obama’s plan to watch the Tampa Bay Rays’ exhibition game against the Cuban national team on March 22, during the president’s three-day trip to the island in the first such visit by a U.S. president to Cuba in 88 years. Well, there’s a lot that’s wrong with it. Even human rights leaders who support Obama’s re-establishment of diplomatic ties with Cuba and oppose the U.S. trade embargo on the island say the idea of Obama happily watching a baseball game in Cuba with Castro at his side, as if the Cuban general were the queen of England, is a blow to the victims of Cuba’s human rights abuses. Obama should engage Cuba, not befriend Cuba. It’s OK for Obama to go to Cuba and improve political and economic ties, much like the United States has done with China’s dictatorship, but it shouldn’t look like a love fest, they say. “It would be a slap in the face to all of those whose lives have been destroyed by the Cuban dictatorship,”

“

Obama is too eager to visit Cuba before the end of his term, and to go down in history — much like Nixon when he went to China — as the U.S. president who opened up ties with Cuba.” says Jose Miguel Vivanco, head of the Americas department of the Human Rights Watch advocacy group in Washington, D.C. “It will make Cubans wonder whether Obama is sincere when he talks about defending human rights in Cuba.” Imagine if during Chilean Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, U.S. President Jimmy Carter would have gone to Chile and watched a soccer game alongside the Chilean general. It would have led many Chileans to wonder about the U.S. commitment to human rights, Vivanco said. “Most Cubans see Obama as the symbol of hope and

change on the island,” Vivanco said. “If they see Obama embracing Castro, they will feel abandoned.” Obama’s trip to Cuba is premature, because Obama himself had said in a Dec. 14 interview with Yahoo News that he would not go to the island unless human rights conditions there improved. Well, they did not improve, and by some measures they have worsened. There were 2,555 recorded arbitrary detentions of peaceful oppositionists in January and February this year, up from 489 in December 2014, when Obama first announced his decision to re-establish ties with Cuba, according to Cuba’s non-government National Commission of Human Rights and National Reconciliation. What’s more, Cuba’s official newspaper Granma said in a Wednesday editorial that Obama will be welcome on the island, but that Cuba will not “cede one inch” in its “unconditional commitment to its revolutionary and anti-imperialist principles.” Obama’s trip is poorly planned, because there was no need to include the president’s attendance at the baseball game. He should make sure that images of him at the game don’t eclipse his scheduled public speech, presumably at the University of Havana, where he should send a strong message to Cubans on the island stressing that human rights

and democracy are universal values. And Obama’s trip is wrong, because he should not cave in to Cuban regime demands that he abstain from having a separate and exclusive meeting with Cuban peaceful opposition leaders. Presidents visiting foreign countries meet with opposition leaders all the time. Obama should not make an exception in Cuba. As I was finishing this column, Obama’s deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said in a meeting with Miami Herald reporters that “if all we are going to do in Cuba were going to a baseball game, that would send the wrong message. But we will be speaking a lot … to civil society.” My opinion: Obama is too eager to visit Cuba before the end of his term, and to go down in history — much like Nixon when he went to China — as the U.S. president who opened up ties with Cuba. But, barring a last minute surprise, this looks more like a premature victory trip, which belittles his Dec. 17, 2014, commitment to chart a new course with Cuba that will “include continued strong support for improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms.” Drinking mojitos with Castro at a baseball game would undermine that very goal. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

Trump rhetoric fuels hatred The violence at the most recent political rallies for Donald Trump must be taken as a message of great social importance. Initially the media and many Americans believed that Trump’s candidacy was a stunt and would soon fizzle out. Trump, however, has proved that his candidacy is serious. He is has tapped into a vein of raw anger, if not rage, that threatens the very life of our republic. Now, finally, many people realize that Trump and his rhetoric of hate is dangerous, but what is more dangerous, to my mind, is that millions of Americans are attracted to Trump’s demagoguery. His message is simple: He is going to make America “great” again. He is going to do this by building a wall on the border with Mexico and applying his self-declared negotiating brilliance to global politics. In fact, Mr. Trump has revealed few details of any serious policies or plans. The notion of a wall with Mexico is ludicrous. It has been discussed for years and always rationality has prevailed. The type of wall Mr. Trump favors would be financially impossible to build and impossible to police were it somehow to be built. The idea that we will force Mex-

“

There seems to be little chance that the violence breaking out at Trump rallies will decrease unless Trump himself changes his rhetoric and stops fueling ordinary Americans’ rage and fear.”

ico to pay for it is even more ludicrous. How will we do this? Will we declare war on Mexico? At the heart of the Trump campaign is also a simple idea: hatred and scapegoating. Many Americans are depressed and desperate. The effects of the crash of 2008 are still being felt. Many Americans are seeing their jobs disappear. Many Americans are discovering that their skills do not fit in with the new, changing economy and that they are

unable to go back to school to acquire new skills. In such a situation it is comforting to be told that there is a single cause of all this grief. And the cause, of course, is some group of “foreigners” who are stealing jobs from Americans. But where is the factual basis for these claims? Trump has learned that scapegoating attracts support. The Nazis knew this. Now Trump knows it. And he is using the rage of everyday Americans to further his own ambitions regardless of the results. What was deemed to be political burlesque has become deadly serious and violent. There seems to be little chance that the violence breaking out at Trump rallies will decrease unless Trump himself changes his rhetoric and stops fueling ordinary Americans’ rage and fear. We need a president who has constructive ideas and who can provide solutions to the very real problems that have made so many Americans so angry. Hatred, racism, violence; these will not solve the problems we face as a nation. They will only make them worse. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 16, 1916: years “Lawrence was ago given its first opIN 1916 portunity to witness a part of the mobilization of the United States troops occasioned by the Mexican trouble this morning when about two hundred and fifty United States cavalrymen from Fort Robinson, Nebraska, enroute for Columbus, New Mexico, passed through here. One of the few soldiers who left the train during its brief stop in Lawrence said that part of the soldiers were machine gun men. They left Fort Robinson yesterday. The stop in Lawrence was made for the purpose of taking coal and water. The train was composed of six passenger coaches for the men and officers with two mess cars. Eight cars were filled with supplies and equipment. The horses belonging to the troops filled ten cattle cars. There were about four carloads of army wagons in the train. Among the wagons could be seen the red cross ambulances.... The soldiers seem utterly unconcerned about being moved to the border.... ‘I hope we get to a warmer climate soon,’ one soldier said.” “An automobile left a week ago Sunday in an out of the way district about ten miles southwest of Lawrence aroused the suspicions of the people in the neighborhood and Sheriff Cummings and Wilson Schneck, deputy sheriff, were called to investigate this morning. Upon arriving they found that the driver had called for the car. A week ago the driver told the man at whose house the car was left he would return later. The number of the engine and car is in the possession of the sheriff but it has not been learned whether the car has been stolen or not.” “The county board of commissioners decided yesterday in the afternoon session to contribute $200 toward helping purchase the Gowans property south of the University which will be used for a south approach to the campus. The South Side Improvement League will complete the necessary funds to purchase the property. When the transfer of the property is made the commissioners will order the building of the road.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

instance of a mugshot being denied. Indeed, a quick review of the recent denials raises questions about whether there are other reasons they are not released. I’m hoping to understand those better in the future, and we’ll do a better job on our end documenting what we ask for and the reasons for denial. Some of you may think this is a lot of effort for a relatively minor issue. I don’t view it that way, though. The JournalWorld is in the information business, and having access to information is critical to our success. But even more importantly, we’re in the watchdog business. Because the stakes can be so high, it is imperative that we play a watchdog role in the judicial system. Community members deserve to know that punishments fit the crime, that the accused are being treated equitably, that victims are being treated fairly and that the system works for all. Understanding who has been accused of a crime is a fundamental piece of information. I have a lot of respect for the men and women who work in the Douglas County justice system. They work hard, and we don’t want to make their jobs more difficult. But jurisdictions across the country have figured out how to routinely release mugshots without creating significant problems in administering justice. I’m confident we can figure out how to do so in Douglas County too.

PALM BEACH , FLA . Donald Trump took Florida and two other states on Tuesday, but lost Ohio to John Kasich, leaving open the prospect of a drawnout, delegate-by-delegate struggle for the Republican presidential nomination at the July convention. Winning Florida easily and claiming all 99 convention delegates in the winner-take-all primary, Trump also knocked out home-state senator Marco Rubio from the Republican presidential race. “I think we’re going to have a great victory,” Trump told supporters gathered at his Mar-ALago Club in Palm Beach. “We had a fantastic evening.” News networks also projected Trump wins over Texas Sen.

Obama decides to nix new offshore drilling Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

The Obama administration will abandon its plan to allow new offshore oil drilling on the southeast coast of the U.S., dealing a blow to petroleum companies and marking a victory for environmentalists, coastal residents and the U.S. military. The Interior Department said Tuesday that it will not auction off drilling rights for Atlantic Ocean waters off the coast of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. At the same time, the Obama

administration opened the door to the possibility of allowing limited drilling in Arctic waters. The moves come amid declining industry investment in new exploration and production activities. The price of oil has fallen by about 70% since late 2014, making new investment less attractive. However, the industry continues to seek long-term investment opportunities under the assumption that oil prices will recover. Offshore drilling in the Atlantic had drawn vigorous support from the American Petroleum Institute, which represents companies

in the industry, saying it would have bolstered jobs, tax revenue and economic development. “The decision appeases extremists,” API CEO Jack Gerard said in a statement. “This is not how you harness America’s economic and diplomatic potential.” Governors in several Republican states, as well as Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, had supported offshore drilling plans. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders voiced opposition. The move is unlikely to be a serious limitation on industry growth, Notre Dame law profes-

sor Bruce Huber said. “Some will see a connection between today’s switch and the administration’s recent moratorium on federal coal leasing, and they are probably right,” Huber said. “Between those decisions and the matter of Keystone XL, it seems clear that the president is intent on doing what he can to confront the large fossil fuel players wherever possible.” Jacqueline Savitz with environmental group Oceana said the move will aid in the battle against climate change. “It will help promote the clean energy solutions that we so desperately need,” she said.

Doctors told not to prescribe opiates for chronic pain CDC says risks far outweigh benefits Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

The nation’s top federal health agency urged doctors to avoid prescribing powerful opiate painkillers for patients with chronic pain, saying the risks from such drugs far outweigh the benefits for most people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in its first ever guidelines for dispensing the morphine-like, addictive drugs,

such as Vicodin and OxyContin, said it took the action Tuesday to combat the nation’s deadly prescription painkiller epidemic. The guidelines carve out an exception for patients receiving cancer treatment or end-of-life care. When doctors determine such drugs are necessary in other situations, the CDC advises doctors prescribe the lowest possible dose for the least amount of time. About 40 Americans die each day from overdosing on prescription painkillers, according to the CDC. In 2013, an estimated 1.9 million people abused or were dependent on prescription opiates. “We know of no other medica-

“We know of no other medication routinely used for a non-fatal condition that kills patients so frequently.”

tion routinely used for a non-fatal condition that kills patients so frequently,” said CDC director Thomas Frieden. “We hope to see fewer deaths from opiates.” The CDC directed the guidelines to primary care physicians, who prescribe nearly half of opiates. Doctors aren’t legally obligated to follow the guidelines,

which are intended for adult patients, but such directives often have influence. The CDC hopes the guidelines will help doctors determine when to begin or continue opiates for chronic pain, which type of painkiller to choose, how long to administer the drugs and how to weigh their risks. Andrew Kolod-

ny, executive director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, called the recommendations a “game changer” that doctors are likely to follow. “For the first time, the federal government is communicating clearly that the widespread practice of treating common pain conditions with long-term opioids is inappropriate,” he said. American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network President Chris Hansen criticized the move for disregarding the important role of pain management for cancer survivors. “Pain does not end when an individual completes treatment,” he said.

This is going to take a while — for Republicans because of math and for Democrats because of message. Republican Donald Trump and Democrat NEWS ANALYSIS Hillary Clinton expanded their delegate leads with victories in Tuesday’s primaries, making it almost impossible for anybody except them to command the majority of delegates needed to be nominated for president. But Trump’s opponents, bolstered by a victory in Ohio by Gov. John Kasich, hoped to prevent the billionaire businessman from reaching the 1,237 delegates he needs and thus spark the first contested convention since 1976. Clinton’s rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is determined to leave a more liberal imprint on the Democratic Party, seemed unlikely to be deterred anytime soon by delegate math. That means both contests are likely to continue with some intensity until the final set of primaries June 7 — and for the GOP, perhaps all the way to the Cleveland convention in July. Among Republicans, Trump won Illinois, North Carolina and Florida, the evening’s biggest prize. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, trailing by double digits in his home state, suspended his campaign and winnowed the GOP field to three. But Kasich’s Ohio victory denied Trump the aura of inevitability he had hoped to claim, even though Kasich couldn’t reach a convention majority if he won every delegate still to be chosen. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz would need to win about eight in 10.

VICTORIES OR NOT, NO END IN SIGHT

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Rivals continue to slow momentum of front-runners Among Democrats, Clinton won Florida, North Carolina and Ohio — particularly important because the Vermont senator couldn’t replicate his upset victory last week in Michigan, another big Midwest state. But Sanders’ top strategist, Tad Devine, said the race was only at “the halfway point.” Surveys by Edison Research of voters as they left polling places underscored the divisions in each party. Almost half of Clinton’s supporters said they would be dissatisfied with Sanders as the nominee; slightly more than half of Sanders’ supporters would be dissatisfied with Clinton. Among Republicans,

more than a third said they would consider voting for a third-party candidate if Trump was the GOP nominee against Clinton in November. “This is a very unique set of circumstances on both sides,” says David Wasserman, an analyst with the non-partisan Cook Political Report who tracks delegate numbers. “It’s likely at this point that nothing will be totally settled until June at the earliest.” That sort of long-running campaign would be the first time in four decades that the prospective nominees in both parties faced fullthroated challenges up to the final

primary day and beyond. It would delay either White House hopeful from pivoting completely to the general election, in message and organization. And it would limit the amount of time available for the victor to unify the party and choose a running mate before the national conventions, both of which have been moved up to July. Trump declared on NBC’s Today show that “the biggest people in the party are calling,” eager to meet with him. Once the nomination is in hand, he told a rally in Tampa, “then I can focus on Hillary, because that’s what I really want to focus on. The Republican Party has

to come together.” That said, the GOP’s establishment leaders and major donors aren’t ready to come together behind Trump, at least not yet. On the Democratic side, backers of Clinton call for the party to focus on the November election. Democratic rules that require states to allocate delegates proportionately make it all but impossible for Sanders to overtake her delegate lead. In her victory rally in West Palm Beach, Clinton told supporters she had won 2 million more votes than her rival and has 300 more delegates won in contests. She congratulated Sanders “on the vigorous campaign he’s been waging,” adopting a valedictory air. Then she turned her fire to Trump. “At some point, Democrats need to unite and focus on a general election vs. Donald Trump,” says Bill Burton, a former White House spokesman for President Obama and co-founder of a super PAC, Priorities USA Action, that backs Clinton. “It will be a relentless and asymmetrical fight that is going to require a new kind of campaign.” But on MSNBC, Devine predicted the campaign “is going to go on for many weeks and months.” Even if he doesn’t win the nomination, Sanders has succeeded in pressing the case for a more liberal and activist Democratic Party. In exit polls, more than six in 10 Democratic voters describe themselves as liberal, compared with 45% in 2008, the last contested Democratic nomination. Only a third say they are moderates, compared with more than four in 10 in 2008. Now math means more than momentum, and every delegate counts. “Just in, big news — I have been declared the winner of the CNMI Rep Caucus with 72.8% of the vote!” Trump tweeted Tuesday. That would be the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a Pacific territory where residents can’t vote in the November election but can field GOP delegates: nine of them.

Kasich promises to be more Midwest contests aggressive toward Trump boost Clinton v CONTINUED FROM 1B

na. The race remained too close to call in Missouri, where the Republican front-runner was locked in a tight battle with Cruz, currently second to Trump in terms of convention delegates. Trump added to his lead in Republican delegates, but he does not have the 50%-plus-one total he needs to actually clinch the nomination — and his remaining rivals said they will work to block him from reaching that level. Claiming victory in his home state of Ohio — giving him 66 delegates — Kasich credited his positive campaign style and vowed to challenge Trump all the way to the Republican convention in July. “We’re going to go all the way to Cleveland and secure the Republican nomination,” the Ohio governor said. Rubio, blown out by Trump in his home state, said he would exit the race, telling supporters in Miami that “America is in the middle of a real political storm, a tsunami, and we should have seen this coming.” While slamming “the politics of resentment,” the first-term senator who had previously predicted that the winner of the Florida primary would win the GOP nomination congratulated Trump on his victory. “It is not God’s plan that I be president in 2016 or maybe ever,” said Rubio. During his speech, a Trump supporter heckled Rubio by shouting out the businessman’s name. Trump himself praised Rubio

for running a tough campaign, and said “he’s got a great future.” Kasich and Rubio both faced must-win primaries in their home states of Ohio and Florida, while Cruz had looked for upset wins in the other states as part of an effort to block the businessman from claiming a majority of delegates before the GOP convention. Earlier Tuesday, Trump predicted he would do well because of the new blue-collar voters he has attracted into Republican primaries. Democrats, independents, and people who have never voted before are flocking to his candidacy, Trump told backers in Palm Beach, and “it’s an incredible thing.” After voting in Ohio on Tuesday, Kasich told reporters, “we’re going to win — I feel terrific.” The governor had not won any Republican contests prior to his victory in Ohio. Kasich, who has been increasingly critical of Trump over “deeply disturbing” things the front-runner has said and done, also ruled out any kind of alliance with the New York businessman, such as serving as his running mate. “There’s no way I would team up with Donald Trump,” Kasich said on Fox & Friends. Kasich indicated that he will take a more aggressive approach to the front-running Trump, telling reporters he will be “forced going forward to talk about some of the deep concerns I have about the way this campaign has been run by some others — by one other, in particular.”

other states voting — gave her a much-needed boost in the Midwest after she lost in Michigan to Sanders last week. The former secretary of State was ebullient in her victory speech, saying “this may be one of the most consequential campaigns of our lifetimes.” Clinton’s big wins helped shift the Democratic primary narrative back to her inevitability as the party’s nominee. Clinton could claim she’s won about twice as many states as Sanders. Sanders, however, appeared undaunted. In a speech in Arizona, he urged supporters to keep fighting for a fairer economic and political system, and he pledged to fight on to states, including Arizona. “Do not settle for the status quo, for the status quo is broken,” Sanders said. “Don’t tell me that we have to have the highest rate of child poverty in the industrial world when we have a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires. Don’t tell me that veterans in this country have to sleep out on the street. “We can make real change,” he said. “But we don’t make change if they divide us up.” Democrats award their delegates proportionally in each state, so Sanders gained delegates even while losing three states. And the primary calendar slows down after Tuesday. Before Tuesday’s voting, Sanders appeared to be gaining in the polls in Ohio and Illinois, but Clinton won Ohio easily and was holding a narrow lead in Illinois. A loss in Illinois, where Clinton was born and raised, would be a blow to her. The 2016 race is exposing a populist divide in the Democratic Party as Sanders escalates attacks on Clinton’s record on trade and her paid speeches to Wall Street banks. In an MSNBC town hall Monday night, Sanders said Clinton has supported “virtually all of these trade agreements, which have turned out to be an unmitigated disaster for working-class people in this country.” Later that night, appearing separately, Clinton defended her record by saying Sanders is, essentially, an ideologue. “I know you have to trade with the rest of the world,” she said.

Russian withdrawal puts pressure on Assad Move aims to spur concessions in peace negotiations Jim Michaels USA TODAY

Russia’s withdrawal of forces from Syria increases pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to reach a political settlement to end his NEWS country’s civil war ANALYSIS — and raises prospects for a U.S.Russian deal to accomplish that. The United Nations special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, called the surprise Russian move announced by President Vladimir Putin a “significant development” that he hoped will propel peace talks in Geneva. Secretary of State John Kerry announced Tuesday that he will visit Moscow and meet with Putin to discuss Syrian peace efforts. Until now, Russia and the United States were at logger-

heads over Syria’s future: Putin had sent in reinforcements to bolster long-time ally Assad, while the U.S. has called for Assad to step aside and backs rebels trying to force him out. Now, both countries may be closer to finding a diplomatic compromise. Washington officials cautioned Tuesday that it is too soon to conclude that Russia is really withdrawing from Syria. “We’re going to judge Russia by its actions — not its words,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said. A small number of Russian aircraft and troops started leaving Syria on Tuesday, a day after Putin announced that Russia’s military had accomplished its objectives and would withdraw most of its forces. Assad thus far has shown little interest in making any compromises to end a war that marked its fifth anniversary Tuesday. Assad faces an array of opposition groups, ranging from the extremist Islamic State to rebels backed by the United States. “The Russians are mainly doing this to force Assad to make

A Russian Defense Ministry photo shows Russian warplanes and personnel at the Hmeymim base in Syria on Tuesday. concessions in negotiations,” said Firas Abi-Ali, an analyst at IHS Country Risk, a consultant firm. Russian airstrikes against rebel groups in Syria, which began in September, have helped Assad remain in power and turned the tide of the war in his favor. Prior to Russia’s increased military involvement, Assad was losing territory to the insurgents. The regime’s military gains are reversible, which Russia hopes will compel Assad to negotiate a settlement, Abi-Ali said. “The Russians know Assad can’t stay

forever,” he said. The United States, Turkey and their allies want free elections to choose a leader. President Obama has accused the Syrian leader of atrocities against his own people. Iran, in addition to Russia, has been Assad’s principal backer. Putin apparently decided not to keep his military in place to deal a final blow to Assad’s opposition, which could take time and would be very costly at a time when the Russian economy is in recession because of falling prices for its huge oil exports. Rather,

his goal is to preserve the security elements of Assad’s regime, but not Assad himself, Abi-Ali said. Putin had limited goals and decided to get out when they appeared achieved, said Andrew Tabler, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “He intervened to prop up the regime, to get them in a position to negotiate,” Tabler said. “Those were his objectives.” The Russians had deployed about 50 aircraft and several thousand ground advisers and other support troops for Assad’s forces in Syria. On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said the first Su-24 bombers returned to Russia from Syria. Russia said it would keep its air base in Latakia province and a naval base in Tartous. Russia also said it would continue military operations against the Islamic State and another terror group linked to al-Qaeda. The forces remaining in Syria “have the task of continuing to strike terrorist targets,” said Nikolai Pankov, deputy defense minister, according to the Associated Press.

U.S. IS OPENING MORE DOORS TO CUBA Rules are relaxed in advance of Obama’s historic visit

Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON

he Obama administration announced a new round of measures chipping away at the decades-long sanctions against Cuba on Tuesday, encouraging more person-to-person educational travel and allowing Cuban nationals to get jobs in the United States or to open U.S. bank accounts. The rules could allow Cuban athletes and entertainers — including baseball players — to get jobs in the United States without having to defect from Cuba, officials said. “It certainly does address the ability of Cuban athletes who could earn salaries in the United States to do so. That’s obviously one of the issues that (Major League Baseball) has been discussing with Cuba,” deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said. But for the rules to allow a new influx of Cuban ballplayers, Cuba may still have to change its rules to allow scouts into the country, he said.

The new rules could allow Cuban athletes and entertainers to get jobs in the U.S. without having to defect. The new measures come days before President Obama’s visit on Monday and Tuesday during a historic mission to improve economic ties with the communist nation, even while he also plans to meet with dissidents in an effort to push the regime toward democracy. It’s the fifth round of new rules the Obama administration has announced since opening up diplomatic relations with Cuba in 2014, allowing educational visits and, later this year, direct commercial flights. But the current travel regulations require that educational trips be sponsored by an educa-

tional organization. Under the rules that go into effect Wednesday, educational trips can now be person-to-person — allowing, for example, more efforts to build democratic institutions in Cuba. The traveler would be required to keep records of the fulltime educational activities for five years. “This is something that we will monitor,” said Andrea Gacki of the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. “We do have confidence that individuals will be able to come up with ways to engage with the Cuban people

in ways that are more affordable and less expensive than having to work through a formal program.” Existing regulations also allow for family family visits, government business, journalistic activity, professional research, religious celebrations, public performances and exhibitions. But tourism is still prohibited under the embargo, creating a system of exceptions. The regulations add to a growing system of increasingly exceptions to the Cuban embargo, which is set by law and can only be lifted by Congress.

IN BRIEF HALF-CENTURY OF MILITARY RULE ENDS IN MYANMAR

POPE FRANCIS: MOTHER TERESA TO BECOME A SAINT

Myanmar’s parliament elected Htin Kyaw as president Tuesday, the country’s first democratically elected leader after more than a half-century of military rule. Htin Kyaw, an ally of National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, will take office April 1 after winning 360 of the 652 votes cast by parliament. Nobel laureate and longtime political prisoner Suu Kyi led her party to a sweeping victory in the Nov. 8 elections. She is blocked from becoming president because of a constitutional clause that excludes anyone with a foreign spouse or children from the position. Suu Kyi’s two sons are British, as was her late husband. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

Pope Francis said Tuesday that Mother Teresa will become a saint on Sept. 4. Affectionately known as the “saint of the gutter” for her unconditional love for the poor, abandoned and marginalized, Mother Teresa earned several international honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She died Sept. 5, 1997, in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, the eastern Indian city where she spent decades doing her work. She was 87. — Greg Toppo

Police in the Belgian capital of Brussels said one suspect was killed on Tuesday during an antiterror raid on a home in the southern suburb of Forest, authorities said.

At least one gunman was on the run, Belgian police said, while the Belgian prosecutor’s office said a body was found inside a building after two gunmen barri-

Four police officers were injured, one of them seriously, authorities said, when shots rang out during the operation, part of an investigation into the attacks by Islamic State militants that killed 130. — Greg Toppo D.C. METRO TO CLOSE FOR 29 HOURS FOR INSPECTION

The massive transit system in the nation’s capitol will shutter beginning at midnight Tuesday until 5 a.m. Thursday, so safety officials can inspect equipment, officials said Tuesday. Paul Wiedefeld, who was ap-

pointed CEO and general manager on Nov. 30, said he understood the hardship the closure would cause on the region’s commuters. But he said that a fire Monday near the McPherson Square system sparked broader concerns because of its similarities to a fire at the L’Enfant Plaza station in January 2015. The inspections will cover 600 so-called jumper cables in the system, Wiedefeld said. Friction or moisture on the insulated cable can cause deterioration that sparks fires. If more problems are found, outages could continue for longer on specific subway lines, Wiedefeld said. — Bart Jansen

BEACH HOME OF USA TODAY FOUNDER NEUHARTH BURNS

Firefighters from several agencies battled a major fire Tuesday night at the iconic Florida estate once owned by Al Neuharth, the founder of USA TODAY. Hundreds of bystanders converged along South Orlando Avenue on Cocoa Beach watching firefighters battle the oceanfront blaze. After Neuharth died in April 2013, his wife, Rachel Fornes, lived at Pumpkin Center with her children. Fornes put the estate on the market in 2014 and sold it for nearly $5 million. Cocoa Beach Fire Department Chief Ryan Duckworth said no one was killed or injured in the fire. — Chris Bonanno, Florida Today

Tech giant says feds relying on authority that doesn’t exist Kevin Johnson and Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

FRANCISCO Apple Inc. charged Tuesday a court order forcing the tech giant to assist the federal government in unlocking the iPhone of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook was based on non-existent authority asserted by the Justice Department. SAN

“According to the government, short of kidnapping or breaking an express law, the courts can order private parties to do virtually anything the Justice Department and FBI can dream up,” Apple lawyers argued in new court documents. “The Founders would be appalled.” The company rejected the government’s previous contention, characterizing the court order as “modest” and relating to a “single iPhone.” “Instead, this case hinges on a contentious policy issue about how society should weigh what law enforcement officials want

against the widespread repercussions and serious risk their demands would create,” Apple lawyers argued. With each AFP/GETTY IMAGES new filing in adThe FBI wants vance of a access to Syed Farook’s iPhone. scheduled March 22 court hearing on the matter, the rhetoric has dramatically escalated while the substance of the dispute largely has never changed: Apple claims the court’s order

would represent an unprecedented breach of customer privacy, while the government counters that its request is narrow in scope and that national security interests trump whatever privacy claims can be asserted involving access to Farook’s phone. “This case arises in a difficult context after a terrible tragedy,” Apple contends. “But it is in just such highly-charged and emotional cases that the courts must zealously guard civil liberties and the rule of law and reject government over-reaching.” Apple’s new court filing comes less than a week after the Justice

MIAMI When he makes his historic visit to Cuba next week, President Obama will try to kickstart a business relationship that has yet to flourish despite intense administration efforts. Obama will arrive with a delegation that includes the CEOs of Xerox and Marriott International to help nudge along deals in the works. U.S. airlines are set to resume commercial flights to Cuba this summer, a New York-based research facility is working with Cuban researchers on a lung cancer vaccine, and an Alabamabased tractor company has won approval to build a factory near Havana. Hotel chains Marriott and Starwood could announce their own deals during the president’s trip, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. And AT&T could join Sprint and Verizon in providing roaming services on the island. Cementing as many of those deals now is key, given Congress’ current refusal to lift the trade embargo against Cuba and Republican presidential candidates’ opposition to Obama’s opening with the Cuban government, said Ralph Patino, who is nearing a deal with the Cuban government to open a building products and supply store outside Havana. “Once these companies are embedded, it will be very difficult

to roll back come another administration,” said Patino, a Cuban American and Miami attorney. Despite those advances, the expanded business relationship envisioned by the Obama administration remains far from becoming fully realized because of resistance from Cuba. One reason is a long-held suspicion of dealing with a country that has imposed an embargo for more than five decades. Michael Sherwin, CEO of the Columbiana (Ohio) Boiler Co., visited the island last month to explore selling

containers his company manufactures to transport chlorine for water treatment plants. Sherwin said the Cubans were welcoming but guarded. “I don’t know if (the U.S.) is going to be their first choice on everything because we’re the ones who closed the door and threw away the key to the lock,” Sherwin said. “The door has been opened, what, an inch?” Another cause for delay is the fact that other countries have rushed to Cuba following Obama’s December 2014 announcement, including French President François Hollande, the foreign minister of Japan and a group of Russian senators. “Everything in Cuba all of a sudden has become much more valuable,” said Jose Fernandez, a lawyer and former assistant secretary for economic, energy and business affairs at the State Department. Meanwhile, U.S. companies struggle to figure out what they can do legally in Cuba. The economic embargo bans most trade and travel. Some products and services can only be sold to Cuba’s emerging entrepreneurial class, while some can be sold directly to the government so long as it benefits the public good. And most sales to Cuba still require the Havana government to pay cash in advance, a complex transaction often involving third parties. “I still don’t know how I get paid,” Sherwin said.

Department claimed Apple had “deliberately raised technological barriers” between a warrant and the iPhone that authorities believe may contain additional evidence in the December mass shooting that left 14 dead. Apple CEO Tim Cook has called the request akin to creating a “backdoor” into the iPhone, and the company’s lawyers claimed Tuesday in court documents that the government’s requested order was “neither grounded in the common law nor authorized by statute.” Johnson reported from Washington D.C.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve is set to go live again. While Wall Street pros don’t think the nation’s central bank will opt to hike interest rates when Wednesday’s two-day meeting breaks up, a growing number of investors believe the Janet Yellen-led Fed will hint that meetings in April and June will be “live,” meaning they could — if data gives them the green light — resume rate increases. Eric Stein, co-director of global income at Eaton Vance, told USA TODAY in an email the Fed won’t raise rates Wednesday but will reinforce its commitment to holding “live” meetings and the possibility of several rate hikes in 2016. A lot of the headwinds that

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

spooked the Fed this year — such as market turbulence, recession fears and the oil price crash — have abated, giving the Fed more confidence to continue its hiking cycle. The Fed moved rates off of zero back in December. “If the data and markets cooperate, an April rate increase is certainly a possibility,” Stein said. “For some time now, Yellen has tried to change the perception that policy action will only occur at meetings with a press conference. I expect her to reinforce her stance that every meeting presents an opportunity for rate action.” A press conference is not scheduled for the April meeting. “I think the Fed will ... want to communicate that hikes are still coming in 2016 – a greater number than the market currently expects,” Stein added. “The Fed will start preparing markets for a possible April hike.”

Pharmaceuticals will make you feel better long term Q: Are drug makers’ stocks toxic? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Drug maker investors might get an upset stomach over the stocks’ harsh treatment lately. But long-term investors know they’ll eventually feel better. The pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are down 7.6% this year so far — lagging the market — as the group gets clobbered by negative news. Valeant Pharmaceuticals saw its shares tank by nearly half to roughly $35 a share Tuesday. The maker of treatments for everything from infections to acne tumbled after reporting quarterly results that were 5% below Wall Street expectations, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The company warned its immediate future isn’t as positive as hoped, prompting drugmakers to sell off about 2%. Valeant only adds to concerns drug investors have. Several U.S. presidential hopefuls are calling for changes in the drug and health care industry, raising addtional worries about future profitability. These concerns have overshadowed the positives. Drug and biotech companies reported 17% higher adjusted profit last year while profits dropped elsewhere in the Standard & Poor’s 500. Some companies might have difficulty maintaining their rapid growth in 2016, but overall trends of an aging population are bullish longer term.

Valeant loses more than half its value on forecasts, default risk Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International suffered their worst one-day plunge ever Tuesday, losing more than half their value after the embattled drugmaker issued lower earnings and financial forecasts and outlined potential bond defaults that could affect the firm’s borrowing. The stock fell 51.5% to $33.51, dramatically deepening a decline that had already erased more than 70% of Valeant’s stock value

BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES

CEO J. Michael Pearson says Valeant faces many challenges.

since a $262.52 high on Aug. 5. “The challenges of the past few months are not yet behind us,” Valeant CEO J. Michael Pearson

said. Issuing delayed and unaudited preliminary fourth-quarter results for 2015, Valeant’s revenue and earnings forecasts fell below the firm’s December guidance. Valeant said its fourth-quarter results were affected by softerthan-expected sales of gastrointestinal medications. The decline came as the company scrapped a controversial distribution system with specialty pharmacy Philidor Rx Services and then launched an agreement with Walgreens. First-quarter 2016 results were affected by inventory reductions in dermatology medications and

revenue shortfalls in ophthalmology prescriptions and several of the company’s divisions, Valeant said. The company also said fluctuations in foreign currency rates weighed on financial results. Valeant grew rapidly in recent years as it acquired other firms. But the company has struggled to grow without mergers. The drugmaker’s most serious challenge emerged last fall when short-seller Citron Research said Valeant’s business relationship with Philidor created a “network of phantom captive pharmacies” as part of a “fraud to create invoices to deceive the auditors and

book revenue.” Valeant denied the allegations and named a special board committee to examine the Philidor deal’s impact on the company’s 2014 results. With the panel’s findings as yet unannounced, the drugmaker delayed filing official fourth-quarter 2015 results and its annual report. The firm reported that its expected failure to file its annual report by March 15 means it likely will violate a covenant on its bonds. Failure to cure the default during a 30-day period could eventually block Valeant from drawing on its credit line.

Conflict and alienation are common for many teens, but imagine the feelings of a 15-yearold American who finds out mom and dad are undercover Soviet spies.

“Not everybody’s parents are killing people and fighting for their country during a war.”

“Paige represents that curiosity, that touch of rebellion, everything that comes with being a teenager,“ she says. At the same time, the actress, who attends public school in New Jersey when she’s not filming in New York, has not experienced Paige’s alienation. “I’ve always had such a solid structure in my house, and my parents have always supported me with everything, so I can’t relate much to her sense of abandonment,” she says. Like Paige, Taylor has a brother, but he’s older, not younger. And she says her brother Philip, who served four years in the Marines, “is usually the one that makes me food.” Casting young actors with short résumés can be tricky, but producers say it paid off with Taylor. “Holly works incredibly hard. She’s always prepared, and she just has a gift,” executive producer Joel Fields says. “She found a way to take everything we write and make it true.”

The unlikely friendship between Pee-wee Herman and Joe Manganiello works perfectly in the quirky screen universe of Peewee’s Big Holiday (an original movie that premieres Friday on Netflix and in theaters in 10 cities, including Los Angeles and Yonkers, N.Y.). Manganiello (playing a version of himself ) is a motorcycle-riding rebel beefcake who instantly clicks with the bow-tie-clad Peewee (Paul Reubens), who has never left his small town. Curiously enough, Reubens and Magic Mike hunk Manganiello are BFFs offscreen as well. “Life is like that — you never really know who is going to be your friend,” says Reubens, 63. “Chemistry is chemistry. Joe’s my friend, and I’m just crazy about him.” When it became clear Reubens was bringing his iconic character back to the screen, he immediately called Manganiello for the role of the friend who sparks Peewee’s cross-country road trip — long before he had even finished the script. Manganiello jumped at the chance.

BFFs Paul Reubens and Joe Manganiello go on Holiday. “I told him I didn’t even have to see a script — I’d do it,” Manganiello says. “There’s no bucket list where you write down, ‘Play in a comic duo with Pee-wee Herman.’ I still cannot fathom it.” Manganiello, 39, says his Peewee worship began while growing up in Pittsburgh. He would wake his younger brother on Saturday mornings to catch Pee-wee’s Playhouse on TV and cherished the “mind-blowing” experience of seeing 1985’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in a theater. The duo clicked in person in 2011 when the True Blood star spotted Reubens at an HBO Em-

my party and pushed past revelers to get to him. “I finally worked my way over to him and said, ‘I’m your biggest fan,’ ” Manganiello says. “And we just started talking.” Manganiello invited Reubens to join him at a career retrospective for Tim Burton (who directed Big Adventure) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He was thrilled when Reubens would motion to take off the tour headset for a personal explanation. “It was like having Paul Reubens as your tour guide. He’s a wealth of Hollywood stories,” Manganiello says. “Paul was on a

couch at a party where Richard Gere first courted Cindy Crawford. Jack Nicholson asked Paul’s advice as to whether or not he should do (Batman). Paul went double-dating with Madonna. The greatest, wildest stories.” The two have been hanging out ever since. Reubens was even a guest of honor at Manganiello’s 2015 wedding to Sofia Vergara. “He was the big hit of the wedding,” Manganiello says. “The whole weekend, people kept coming up to me telling me how much they loved Paul. He’s like family.” Reubens returns the compliment, saying he’s always amazed at how different the couple is from the public perception. “(Joe) and his wife together are the dorkiest, nerdiest people. It’s just hilarious. People don’t get to see that side,” Reubens says. On the Pee-wee set, Manganiello had problems staying in character next to his hero (“You’d want to watch Pee-wee, but you had to work”). Manganiello also had to refrain from talking in Pee-wee cadence after a lifetime of repeating all the best lines. But he loved it. “I’m just happy to be a part of this,” Manganiello says. “It’s one of those magical things that popped up.”

Jayhawks receive raucous welcome

KANSAS BASKETBALL

KU’s voice

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Des Moines, Iowa — Kansas University basketball assistant Jerrance Howard performed a few dance moves to the beats of the Isiserettes Drill and Drum Corps as the Jayhawk coaches and players exited a luxury, black Heartland Executive bus at 5:35 p.m. Tuesday in front of the Embassy Suites hotel in downtown Des Moines. The youths, ages 7 to 18, provided some hometown hospitality for the Jayhawks, who made the short 31⁄2hour trip from Lawrence to the site of Thursday’s 3 p.m. NCAA South Regional opener against Austin Peay in Wells Fargo Arena. “They are very good and very loud as well. I know our players enjoyed that a lot,” KU coach Bill Self said of the drum-and-dance performance. “It was fine,” he added of the drive on a rainy day. “It was a three-hour bus ride. We watched a good movie, watched ‘Creed,’ so everybody got fired up.” Self said the Jayhawks (304), who will hold a shootaround that is open to the public from 2:15 p.m. to 2:55 today at Wells Fargo Arena, have had two good practices since defeating West Virginia, 81-71, in the Big 12 tournament title game on Saturday in KC’s Sprint Center. “I think we are in a good place right now. We obviously had a good weekend last weekend (in beating West Virginia, Baylor and Kansas State),” Self said. “We’ve had a couple pretty spirited workouts. If anything, I think our guys are rested. We know what to expect a little bit. We don’t know if somebody will try to throw something different at us (in NCAAs). We’ve been preparing like we always have. I think the guys are really excited.” Self said junior guard Frank Mason III, who suffered a bruised left foot in the semifinal vs. Baylor, responded well to treatment and should be ready to go against Austin Peay. “I think he’s fine,” Self said. “He got his foot stepped on (by Taurean Prince) and got a bruise. Fortunately the X-rays were negative. We did X-rays before the game Saturday (vs. West Virginia) because we were going to hold him out if we needed to. He’s kind of like Jim Brown (NFL Hall of Famer) a little bit as a running back. He’ll take his time getting back to the huddle (shaking off injuries). He says he feels good.” Mentally, the Jayhawks are in a good spot as well. KU has won 14 straight games, longest win streak since the Jayhawks rolled to 18 straight victories in the 2012-13 season. “We’ve had other teams play well,” Self said. “We’ve won 14 in a row against great competition. That’s being on a roll, but you can win four of five and be on a roll as well. This team has probably been as hot as any

RETIRING KANSAS UNIVERSITY BROADCASTER BOB DAVIS PATS HIS HEART as he receives a standing ovation from the fieldhouse faithful before the final home game of his 37-year career during a halftime ceremony on March 5 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Sports don’t follow scripts, so why should the voice who brings the games into automobiles and elevators, iPods and iPads? Davis has flown spontaneously, letting the action drive his words, in 32 years of calling Kansas games, and he’s not about to change now. Sure, he wants his final on-air words to be spoken in Houston. He wants to bring the scene of a nationalchampionship celebration through speakers the way he did in Kansas City, Mo., in 1988, and in San Antonio 20 years later, but he knows

Kansas University baseball staged a pair of late rallies Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough as the Jayhawks fell, 14-9, to Murray State at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas jumped to a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning on singles by Matt McLaughlin and Colby Wright. “The enthusiasm in our dugout when the game started was off the charts,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “We came out of the gates banging the baseball and were ready to play and get after them.” That lead was both short-lived and lasted nearly two hours long as lightning in the area led Please see HOOPS, page 3C to a one-hour, 44-minute

When play resumed, Murray State took control, scoring five times in the second on home runs by Tyler Lawrence and Ramsey Scott. “We came back out onto the field, and they took it to us,” Price said. “They hit us in the mouth, and then we got hit in the mouth again. The next thing you know, we are buried.

Broncos match RB Anderson’s offer Englewood, Colo. — John Elway reversed directions just like, well, C.J. Anderson. The Denver Broncos general manager matched Miami’s fouryear, $18 million offer to his lead running back Tuesday. The move was a surprise coming as it did just two weeks after Elway placed the lower rightof-first refusal tender on the restricted free agent rather than the more expensive tender that includes a second-round draft pick as compensation. New Dolphins head coach Adam Gase, who was Denver’s offensive coordinator in 2013-14, front loaded an offer to Anderson in the hopes that Elway wouldn’t match it. The Broncos had some financial flexibility, however, after quarterback Brock Osweiler bolted to Houston in free agency and pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware took a $3.5 million pay cut over the weekend. So, Elway matched the offer that will pay Anderson $5.25 million in bonuses by month’s end and a $625,000 base salary in 2016 and includes substantial non-guaranteed dollars on the back end of the deal.

Arizona trades Pats for DE/OLB Jones Phoenix — The Arizona Cardinals have filled what they considered their biggest offseason need by acquiring Pro Bowl defensive end/outside linebacker Chandler Jones from the New England Patriots. The Cardinals sent guard Jonathan Cooper and a secondround pick in this year’s draft to the Patriots in a deal that was pending the two players passing physicals. The 26-year-old Jones ranked fifth in the NFL last season with a career-best 121⁄2 sacks. Cooper was Arizona’s first-round pick, the seventh selection overall, in the 2013 draft. He missed his rookie season due to a broken leg and never reached the level of play the Cardinals had envisioned for him. A first-round draft pick out of Syracuse — the 21st selection overall — Jones is one of three players who since 2012 have at least 200 tackles, 36 sacks and 10 forced fumbles. The other two are J.J. Watt and Ryan Kerrigan.

Glendale, Ariz. — Adam LaRoche surprised the Chicago White Sox by telling them Tuesday he intends to retire, leaving $13 million on the table. General manager Rick Hahn said LaRoche told his teammates in a clubhouse meeting Tuesday morning and was asked to reconsider his decision, which Hahn characterized as a “personal decision.” Hahn said he was not expecting the news, but added that after “extensive conversations with him, between us and his coaches and he and his teammates, you would have to be respectful and understand his perspective.” LaRoche, 36, signed a twoyear deal for $25 million with the White Sox a year ago. But he struggled in 2015, batting just .207 with 12 homers. The first baseman-turned-designated hitter hadn’t played since early this month due to back spasms.

BOB DAVIS LAUGHS WITH ROYALS HALL-OF-FAMER MIKE SWEENEY, who came to visit with the retiring broadcaster before his final home game on March 5 at Allen Fieldhouse. Buddy Bell, who said, ‘Don’t ever say it can’t get any worse because it can.’ “What a good guy Buddy is. And Mike Sweeney, he was here (Allen Fieldhouse) the other night. He and Raul Ibanez are two of the best guys I ever met in baseball. Mike is so nice, you think he can’t possibly be this nice, but he is. If you see him coming, you better brace yourself, because the hug is coming.” Not long after Davis was replaced, to the chagrin of many who still miss the passion he brought to his calls, the Royals became the best

team in baseball. Rough timing. “I’m happy for them, though,” Davis said, and he meant it.

Back-to-back-to-back home run hires Former Kansas athletic director Monte Johnson ran into Davis at Hy-Vee recently, and Johnson shared how that conversation went. Johnson: “You’re one of the best hires I ever made.” Davis: “You hired a guy named Larry Brown.” Johnson: “But he didn’t stick around as long as you.”

Davis started calling KU games for Danny Manning’s freshman year. He covered all but the first year of the greatest back-to-back-toback college basketball hires in the history of the game, Brown-to-Roy Williams-to-Bill Self. “Larry’s a basketball savant,” Davis said. “He remembers the great inbounds play the Carolina Cougars used against the Kentucky Colonels back in the 60’s and how it worked.” Davis on Williams: “Driven. Absolutely driven. Worked for Dean Smith and soaked all that up. When Larry left, I’m thinking, ‘How do you replace Larry Brown?’ Then when Roy left, I’m thinking, ‘How do you replace Roy?’ Well, they did OK.” Self and Brown greatly appreciate each other’s wit and drew big, earlyarriving audiences to the “Hawk Talk” coach’s shows on which they collaborated. “He’s great,” Davis said of Self. “He’s serious when he needs to be, but he’s a real guy. Great sense of humor. Great coach. Great success. I don’t know who’s better in the country than him. There are a lot of great coaches, but not many, if any, you’d rather work with than him. Nobody ever asked him a dumb question,

even if it is a dumb question.” An inexperienced reporter once asked if Self had arranged for Wilt Chamberlain to give advice to freshman Andrew Wiggins. Self could not have let the reporter know more gently that Wilt was deceased. “How would (Bob) Knight have handled that?” Davis asked, trying and failing not to laugh. “I mean, like, two weeks later, when he kind of cooled down a little bit.” Appearing for the final time at Big 12 arenas, Davis was honored in various ways and given gifts by the schools. None mean any more to him than the one given to him by the “Hawk Talk” regulars who flocked to the Salty Iguana for the shows. “They gave me a glass crystal microphone with their names on it,” Davis said in a way that made it clear he was touched by the gesture. His career will be over soon, the later the better. It could end in Des Moines or Louisville or Houston. Those who believe in karma might take comfort in the knowledge that his Fort Hays basketball announcing career ended in the NAIA nationalchampionship game. Fort Hays won. Davis left Hays on top. Just sayin’.

team we’ve had since I’ve been here. That 2008 team got on a serious roll late (winning last 13 games during 37-3 NCAA title season), but this team has been on a pretty good roll itself.” l

Gracious hosts: This marks the first time Des Moines has hosted NCAA Tournament games. “This is nice,” Self said. “It looks to be a nice hotel (Embassy Suites). The location is great. We’re just a half mile from the arena, so that’s great. I don’t see anything negative at all. I’m sure it will mean a lot to the city of Des Moines to be a great host. I’m sure everybody will be treated first-class.” Chris Connolly, general manager of Wells Fargo Arena told the Des Moines Register: “This is like an audition for us, and we want to roll out the red carpet for the athletes and the NCAA. We want to do a really good job with it so we’re in a position to get it again.”

MEMBERS OF THE DES MOINES ISISERETTES DRUM LINE perform near the entrance to the Embassy Suites Downtown while waiting for the Jayhawks to arrive. “This is really important to Iowa, and it’s really important to the metro area, and it’s our intent that this isn’t just going to be a one-time deal,” Greg Edwards, president and CEO of the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau told the Register. “We want this to be a longtime marriage.” l

Fan talk: Wells Fargo Arena seats 17,000 fans. “We travel great. I think we’ll have our fair share of fans,” Self said. “I think our fans probably anticipated being here. Throw Indiana and Kentucky in the mix ... there aren’t going to be

extra tickets. This will be a hot ticket for anybody that wants to come to the games, I’d think.” l

Itinerary: “We’re going to eat tonight at some restaurant. I’m sure it’ll be a nice one,” Self said Tuesday. “We always do that when we have two days (on road trip). We’ll get ’em out of the hotel tonight. Tomorrow is a hectic day. We’ll go practice on our own at a location, leave there and go to the arena, where we have to do the media and open practice. We’ll come back tomorrow night and get rested with tape, scouting report and get ready to play.”

Horton excellent player: Austin Peay senior forward Chris Horton is one of 13 players in Div. I basketball history to score 1,500 points, grab 1,000 rebounds and block 300 shots. “They’ve got a big guy who can score and rebound,” Self said of the 6-8, 220-pounder from Decatur, Ga. “He’s going to be invited to probably numerous NBA camps and tryouts. He’s capable of having big games.” Of possibly playing in the NBA, Horton told the Tennessean: “I just want to keep going hard and hopefully in June I hear my name called.” “He’s extraordinary,” Austin Peay coach Dave Loos said to the Tennessean. “The rest of our bigs, if they get eight points and seven rebounds, we are feeling pretty good. With Horton, in the back of our minds we are saying ‘what’s the matter?’”

WICHITA STATE’S FRED VANVLEET POINTS TO FANS after the Shockers beat Vanderbilt, 70-50, in a First Four game Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio.

WSU, FGCU make field The Associated Press

Wichita State 70, Vanderbilt 50 Dayton, Ohio — Wichita State’s guards let their Final Four experience make the difference in a defense-dominated First Four game. Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker led a surge at the start of the second half that put the Shockers on pace for a victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night, making the big shots in a game with very few uncontested ones. The seniors who were part of the Shockers’ 2013 Final Four team led the way. VanVleeet — the two-time Missouri Valley player of the year — scored 14 points despite a cut on his head that sent him to the bench in the first half. Ron Baker also had 14. Together, they scored all of the points in a decisive 11-0 run that opened the second half. “Fred and I hit a couple of threes to get us going early on,” Baker said. “The momentum shifted slowly, and we kind of grasped it and kept on rolling.” The Shockers (258) will play Arizona on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island. Vanderbilt (19-14) couldn’t take advantage of its pronounced size advantage on offense and never led in the second half. Joe Toye and Riley LaChance had 10 apiece. The Commodores shot 30 percent from the field, went 3-of-19 from beyond the arc and were 15-of-26 on free throws. “They’re a very good defense and they play really physical,” LaChance said. “We did get some open looks and nothing happened to fall.” The Shockers returned three starters from the team that knocked off Indiana and Kansas to reach the Sweet 16 last year, drawing a No. 10 ranking in the preseason poll. A lot of early injuries — including VanVleet’s pulled hamstring — forced the Shockers to reinvent themselves. They got yet another setback on Tuesday when VanVleet left to get treated for a cut on the right side of his forehead only a few minutes into the game. He gave the Shockers a pep talk during the next timeout but stayed on the bench. “It didn’t hurt at all,” said VanVleet, who had a bandage on the wound. “I didn’t even know it was bleeding. I was just hoping it wouldn’t need stitches. I hate to get stitched. He patched me up real quick.” VanVleet got back into the game with 13:13 left in the half and hit a baseline jumper for his first points. He and Baker let their tournament experience show at the start of the second half, scoring all the points in an 11-0 run for a 41-30 lead — the

biggest by either team up to that point. Baker hit a three, and VanVleet made a pair from beyond the arc during the spurt. Vanderbilt cut the lead to one point, but Wichita State dug in and hit back-to-back threes that pushed it to 57-48 and left the Shockers in control. WICHITA ST.

Florida Gulf Coast 96, Fairleigh Dickinson 65 Dayton, Ohio — Florida Gulf Coast showed once again that it can rise to the occasion in the NCAA Tournament. It wasn’t the same “Dunk City” gang that captured the nation’s attention during an improbable Sweet 16 run in 2013, but the Eagles controlled the boards and blew past overmatched Fairleigh Dickinson in a First Four game. Marc-Eddy Norelia opened the game with a dunk, two of his 20 points on the night to lead the Eagles (21-13). FGCU never relinquished the lead, going on a 23-6 run in the first 10 minutes and opening a 40-19 lead at the half. Fairleigh Dickinson got some looks but couldn’t get much to fall, shooting just 33 percent from the field while playing thoroughly lackluster defense. It was one of the team’s worst shooting performances of the season. Florida Gulf Coast relied on outmuscling its opponent’s big men inside and controlling the boards. “That’s what got us here,” Norelia said of the inside game. “Coach made the game plan and said we’re going to do what we’ve been doing, and it worked for us.” FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON (18-15) Jiggetts 2-9 0-0 5, Anderson 5-14 0-2 11, Potts Jr. 6-17 0-0 16, Townes 3-7 7-9 13, Holloway 1-6 1-3 3, Curry 1-2 0-0 3, O’Garro 0-0 0-0 0, Rhoden 0-0 2-2 2, Edge 3-6 0-0 7, Nehme 0-4 0-0 0, Schroback 0-1 0-0 0, Miller 2-4 1-2 5.

Norman, Okla. (ap) — Oklahoma’s Lon Kruger has done about everything in his stellar college coaching career except win a national title. He has guided five different programs to the NCAA Tournament, among them a Kansas State team that made it to the 1988 Elite Eight, Florida to the Final Four in 1994, UNLV to the Sweet 16 in 2007 and Oklahoma to the Sweet 16 last year. This high-scoring Oklahoma squad gives the 63-year-old perhaps his best shot at winning it all. Led by national player of the year candidate Buddy Hield, the Sooners enter the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2 seed in the West Region and will open tournament play Friday against Cal State Bakersfield. “It’s a great time of year, and we are excited about the opportunity that lies ahead,” Kruger said. The Sooners appreciate the chance to play at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, just 21 miles from their home court in Norman, but Kruger’s been around long enough to know that location isn’t everything. “All that means is we don’t travel very far,” he said. “We’ve got to line up and play. The guys understand that. When you get to this point, you know that the teams you play against are all good quality and we’ll have to play well.” There are plenty of reasons for Kruger and Oklahoma’s fans to believe the Sooners will play well. Oklahoma won its first 12 games this season, including a 78-55 win over then-No. 9 Villanova in Hawaii, and later ascended to the top of the

OKLAHOMA COACH LON KRUGER CHEERS THE SOONERS AGAINST TCU in this photo from Feb. 2 in Norman, Okla. Kruger has done just about everything in his college career except with a national title. AP poll. In all, the Sooners have eight wins over ranked teams. “If you look at the body of work, we’ve had a lot of good wins against top 50 teams,” Kruger said. “I guess quality of schedule — you’re in the Big 12, you have a good start right there, playing against a lot of ranked teams night in and night out.” Oklahoma rebounded from a skid in February in which they lost three of four by winning five of their last seven, including three over teams ranked in the Top 25. Even after the Sooners squandered a 26-point lead late in the season against Baylor and had to rally for the win, Kruger remained calm.

“We haven’t played great the whole time, but it’s not like the ship’s burning,” he said. “We had a lot of good stretches of play. He had our best stretches of play over the last month, and we’ve also had two really bad stretches of play. So we’ve got to kind of focus on both and learn from one and try to do the other better.” For a while, any win was something to celebrate at Oklahoma, which went 27-36 combined in the two years before Kruger took over in 2011. Now, the Sooners are in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year. One reason is likely the fact that Hield, Ryan

Spangler, Isaiah Cousins and Jordan Woodard have started 100 consecutive games together. Kruger praised the seniors — Hield, Spangler and Cousins — after the loss to West Virginia in the Big 12 semifinals, and gave them credit for making his job easier. “They’ve changed the culture, without question, not only on the court, obviously in terms of wins and points and rebounds and all that,” he said. “They’ve been fantastic. But just their work ethic, their investment, the way they’ve represented the university in the community, on campus -- they’ve been unbelievable.”

Baylor freshman playing despite heart condition Waco, Texas (ap) — King McClure was told by doctors after being diagnosed with a heart condition last summer that he could never play basketball again. McClure had just arrived on the Baylor campus and had already practiced for a week before a health screening for incoming players revealed that he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. “I was devastated, I was crying,” the freshman recalled. “All my dreams fell, they just dropped.” When he started to research the condition that affects heart muscle, one of the first stories that popped up was about Hank Gathers, the Loyola Marymount star who in 1990 collapsed on the court during a game and died. Still, McClure had never had any symptoms and there was no family history of heart disease. The sharp-shooting guard with a ball in his hands since age 2 just couldn’t accept that his career could already be done. Nine months after the life-altering diagnosis, with a defibrillator implanted into his chest, McClure has played in all 33 games this season for the Bears. He and his teammates are getting ready for their NCAA Tournament opener Thursday against Yale. “Really, it’s unbelievable,” McClure said. “It’s a blessing really I’m still able to play the game that I love.” There were four long

BAYLOR GUARD KING MCCLURE CATCHES HIS BREATH during the Bears’ Feb. 6 game against West Virginia in Morgantown, W.Va. McClure once thought his college career was over when he was diagnosed with a heart condition. months when he couldn’t play — “the hardest times in my life,” he said. There were tears and visits with multiple doctors who told him not to play. That for so long was the almost-automatic response to someone with HCM, even in milder forms since it can result in sudden cardiac arrest during strenuous activity. McClure and his parents got an encouraging call from Oklahoma City assistant coach Monty Williams, who played in the NBA with a heart condition. Williams prayed with the young player on the phone and recommended his doctor in Maryland, who they met before going to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Dr. Michael Ackerman, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, last year co-au-

thored updated guidelines for the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology that still recommend athletes with HCM avoid participation in most sports. But he said the new guidelines also indicate a need for families who are fully informed of the risks to be able to make their own decisions. “For some athletes, sports is totally optional and some of those individuals and their families may conclude it is not worth the residual risk,” Ackerman said. “While for others, that sport is like oxygen, it’s a musthave, must-do activity.” McClure had surgery in August to get the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), which constantly tracks his heart rate and is de-

signed to provide a shock only if he goes into cardiac arrest. Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, chief of the Johns Hopkins Division of Cardiology, said other athletes have played with defibrillators and he certainly expects there to be more. But without enough data to make general recommendations, he said such decisions need to be made by individuals based on their specific cases. “Risk prediction of sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and many inherited heart diseases is far from perfect,” he said. On Oct. 1, his 19th birthday, McClure was cleared to resume basketball activity. Six weeks later, he made his college debut with three three-pointers and 11 points in Baylor’s season opener. While it took some time for McClure to get back into playing shape after being sidelined — except for a couple of times he admits to sneaking into the gym to take a few shots — he said he has had no issues with the ICD this season. “The biggest progression at first was he was so out of shape, and just trying to get back in the swing of things,” coach Scott Drew said. “He was probably a little apprehensive, and we were probably a little apprehensive, and tried to take it easy on him and not push him too hard, and he probably did the same. Now you don’t even think about it.”

KANSAS CITY’S ALCIDES ESCOBAR CELEBRATES HIS RUN SCORED against Cincinnati during the first inning of the Royals’ 4-2 loss to the Reds on Tuesday in Goodyear, Ariz.

Royals fall to Reds, 4-2 Goodyear, Ariz. (ap) — Alcides Escobar doubled, scored and drove in a run in the Kansas City Royals’ 4-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Escobar opened with a double and scored on a single by Eric Hosmer against former Royal Brandon Finnegan. The Royals’ Omar Infante also had two hits and scored with two outs in the fifth inning when Escobar bunted against a charging Adam Duvall, who played third base for the first time this spring. Jay Bruce doubled home a run in the Reds’ two-run first against Ian Kennedy. Joey Votto had two singles and a walk and has reached base in eight of his nine appearances. And Duvall, who is still in the competition for the Reds’ open leftfield job, drove in a run with a single. Kennedy pitched out of trouble and kept it close during his four innings. “His fastball command was off,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “His command will come around. He did a phenomenal job of keeping it close. Cincinnati’s Billy Hamilton had his first at-bat since March 2, bunting for a base hit. “It was a blessing being out there with the guys. I’m a part of the team again,” said Hamilton, who’d been out with discomfort in his surgically repaired right shoulder. “That first inning went the way I wanted. What I love to do is run. If I can get on base I can make things happen.” The Reds scored two seventh-inning runs off Danny Duffy. “Danny stinks in spring,” Yost said. “When the season starts he’s pretty good. I don’t have to evaluate him. I know him. I just look back at his history.”

“All in all he did a good job to limit the damage.” Kennedy, who spent last season with San Diego, is one of nine pitchers to make 30 or more starts in six straight seasons. Reds: Finnegan had his longest outing of the spring with 41⁄3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out four. “It was a thousand times better than the last time,” said Finnegan, who gave up two runs in 22⁄3 innings to Colorado during his last game. “Everything was working. I was spotting my fastball. My change-up was really good today.”

Trainer’s room Royals: The Royals moved LHP Mike Minor to the 60-day disabled list to make room for RHP Dillon Gee, whose contract the Royals selected from Triple A Omaha. Gee had a clause that allowed him to be a free agent if he was not on the 40-man roster by today.

Moustakas knocked his glove off of Finnegan’s hand, and Hosmer’s caught him on the palm of his right hand. “I couldn’t react in time,” Finnegan said of Hosmer’s hit. “I couldn’t react to it.

Lemon Cottage Cheese Cake

A LIGHT DELIGHT

Lovely, homemade cream puffs are simpler than you think

t happens to all of us sooner or later. We discover that we have a friend who (gasp) doesn’t like chocolate. I know, it truly boggles the mind. Don’t worry. There’s no need to get new friends. Simply expand your culinary horizons with the super-versatile cream puff. If you’ve never tried making cream puffs before, you’re in for a treat; the process is only marginally harder than making boiled water.

HOMEMADE CREAM PUFFS Ingredients: 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1 1/4 cups flour 4 large eggs 1 small box instant pudding mix 1 1/2 cups milk 1 can fruit pie filling Powdered sugar

Bite Sighs

Directions: Fire up your stove to 375 degrees (yep, it really does go that high) and dig out a medium saucepan. Cut the butter into pieces and drop them in the pan. Add the salt and water, and then crank up the heat. Twiddle your thumbs and enjoy some coffee until the butter water comes to a full, rolling boil. Turn off the heat; dump in the flour all at once and stir until you have a big ball of glossy dough chasing your

Audrey Lintner spoon around the pan. Let this dough rest for about five minutes. The cream puff dough gets a break, but you don’t; not yet. Whisk the pudding mix and milk together in a small bowl for two minutes, and then stick it in the fridge. What flavor, you ask? Whatever you like. Vanilla is always a good choice, and cheesecake

flavor makes the simplest dessert seem decadent. Go with whatever your tastebuds dig. Back to the dough we go. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat the heck out of the mixture after each addition. You should end up with a soft(ish) dough that holds its shape. If you have a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip, groovy. Put the cream puff dough in that. If you haven’t got such a critter, no sweat. Line your largest baking sheet with parchment and start dropping blobs of dough on it — by the spoonful, in piped mounds, or drawn into small ropes for an éclair effect. The puffs will spread a bit as they bake, but they can tolerate a little crowding. Stick the sheet into the

oven and bake for 40 minutes. The finished puffs will be golden brown with a hint of shine and feel really light for their size. Set the pan on a rack and let the puffs cool completely before filling. Ready to fill? Neat! Pop open a can of fruit pie filling (once again, go with whatever floats your boat) and get that bowl of pudding. Using a serrated knife and a very gentle sawing motion, slice the tops off the puffs. Drop a dab of fruit filling in the bottom of each puff, top with a spoonful of pudding, and replace the “lids.” Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy! — Have a question or suggestion for Bite Sighs? Email Audrey Lintner at bitesighs@hotmail.com.

TRA DE THE RIC OTT A

Matthew Mead/AP Photo

By Melissa d’Arabian

Associated Press

ottage cheese is a staple in my home. I love its creamy, mild flavor. It pairs perfectly with some garlic and herbs to make a proteinpacked crudite dip, yet it also is at home in a quick dessert of cottage cheese and unsweetened applesauce (a d’Arabian weeknight favorite). Half a cup offers tons of protein (14 grams) plus calcium and vitamins, and all for just about 80 calories and only 3 grams of carbs. Plus, it’s inexpensive! Cottage cheese is more than just a snack; it’s also a handy and nutritious ingredient. I love using it as a swap for ricotta in just about any recipe. Simply spoon the cottage cheese straight from the carton and use or, for extra points, drain or blot the excess moisture from the cottage cheese and pulse in the food processor and you’ll have almost exactly the texture of ricotta cheese. You can even use cottage cheese as a base for a lusciously creamy salad dressing! Just blend up the cottage cheese with a few tablespoons of very hot water, which will soften the curds just enough to make the results creamy. Add smashed garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs and black pepper, and you have a tasty dressing or dip. One of my favorite ricotta indulgences is Italian ricotta cake, which is something between a classic cake and a cheesecake. Sweet and fatty, a little sliver goes a long way. Here is my cottage cheese makeover of this yummy (calorie-dense) treat. I use cottage cheese, of course, but I also cut the butter way down and kept the sugar on the lower end (1 1/2 teaspoons per serving).

Loads of lemon zest keep it exciting, and the almond flour ensures that the fats are healthy (and offer a smidge of protein and nutrients). All of which makes my lemon cottage cheese cake not exactly as authentic as a trip to Rome, but certainly a perfect way to end a springtime meal.

LEMON COTTAGE CHEESE CAKE Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 12

Ingredients: 3 eggs, separated 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese 1/4 cup grated lemon zest (2 to 3 lemons) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup almond flour or meal 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour) 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 cup low-fat milk Powdered sugar, to serve (optional) Raspberries and chopped fresh mint, to serve (optional) Directions: Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-inch round cake

pan with cooking spray, then line with kitchen parchment. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, then set aside. In a large bowl, use the mixer to beat together the butter and sugar for 1 minute. Add the egg yolks and mix again until creamy and pale, about 2 minutes. Add the cottage cheese, lemon zest and vanilla, then mix on medium until very well blended and the cottage cheese is broken down a little. In a medium bowl, sift together the almond flour, pastry flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Mix half of the dry ingredients into the butter and egg mixture and mix on low with the mixer. Add the milk and the remaining dry ingredients, then mix on low to blend. Using a rubber spatula, fold in half of the whipped egg whites rather briskly until well mixed into the batter. Fold in the second half of the egg whites very gently, until blended in, but not deflated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until the cake is golden and springs back under light pressure, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan, then let cool completely. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with raspberries and mint, if desired.

Analysis Downplays the Role of Saturated Fat in Heart Disease An analysis of 72 published studies has found—like other recent studies—that saturated fat may have little or no eﬀect on most people’s risk of coronary heart disease.

Vitamin D may boost survival odds for cancer patients Higher blood levels of vitamin D appear to increase survival times for people with various types of cancer.

Rajiv Chowdhury, MD, PhD, of Cambridge University, United Kingdom, and his colleagues focused on both observational and controlled clinical trials that involved 643,226 subjects. They reported that monosaturated fats were associated with a slight reduction in cardiovascular risk, and that trans fats were related to a greater risk of coronary heart disease risk. However, saturated fats were not associated with either an increased or decreased risk of heart disease.

Hui Wang, MD, PhD, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, and his colleagues analyzed data from 25 studies that included 17,332 cancer patients. Most of the patients had their vitamin D levels measured before treatment. People with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma who had higher vitamin D levels at the time of diagnosis fared the best. Higher vitamin D levels improved survival of breast cancer patients by 37 percent, colorectal cancer patients by 45 percent, and lymphoma patients by 52 percent.

The ﬁndings, along with those of other recent studies, contradicts the dietary mantra since the 1970s that people should reduce their consumption of saturated fat.

Higher vitamin D levels (compared with patients who had the lowest levels) were also associated with better survival for patients with lung, gastric, and prostate cancers, along with leukemia and melanoma.

“Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats,” wrote Chowdhury and his colleagues.
