Teachers seek more time for lunch, planning

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Proposed adjustments to the schedule of the Lawrence school district’s elementary schools would give students more time for lunch and teachers more time for planning.

A committee of district teachers and administrators recommended the changes, which would add five minutes to the elementary school day and extend students’ lunch period from 25 to 30 minutes.

or those of you who want faster Internet speeds at your Lawrence home, here’s something to keep an eye on: AT&T has quietly begun offering gigabit Internet service in a few select Lawrence neighborhoods.

AT&T officials told me that the company recently began offering the service in a couple of newer neighborhoods on the western side of town,

Gigabit service is the same type of super-fast Internet speed that the much-touted Google Fiber project brought to parts of Kansas City.

Topeka — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday overturned the conviction of a Kansas man who was charged with failing to update his registration as a sex offender after he left the state and moved to the Philippines.

In a unanimous opinion written by the late Justice Antonin Scalia, the court threw out the conviction of Lester Ray Nichols for failing to re-register, and it clarified the scope of a federal law known as the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, or SORNA. That law was enacted in 2009 to bring federal uniformity to earlier laws enacted by Congress and all 50 states known as “Megan’s law” that require convicted sex offenders to register with law enforcement agencies, reporting their name, address and places of work or school.

After graduating from Topeka High School in 1952, James attended the University of Chicago before enlisting in the Navy from 1954­1957.

Following his enlistment, he attended the University of Kansas, earning first a B.S. in Physics in 1961, and then a Ph.D. in Physics in 1968.

While attending the University of Kansas he met Teresa Antonia Ross who became his wife on August 24, 1963.

MORGAN ALAMO’S DIAGNOSIS WITH CASTLEMAN DISEASE — and then Hodgkin lymphoma — started with a routine physical examination that was a requirement of a job she was seeking.

A Mario-themed wedding, then tragedy, then resilience

By Molly Norburg Special to the Journal-World

The origin story for 26-year-old Morgan Alamo and her husband, Elvis, reads like a biopic of pop culture in the early 2000s. In brief: World of Warcraft, Myspace, long-distance instant messaging and a mutual love of Mario all played a central role.

But the soft-spoken and composed Lawrence native, who enjoys battling video game rivals in her free time, couldn’t have anticipated the real-life

monsters she would have to overcome. Two days after her Mario-themed wedding, doctors told Alamo for the very first time that they thought she might have cancer.

All of this began six months earlier, with a part-time job opening at a day care, which hardly sounds like a life-altering prospect for most.

But for Alamo, a physical examination, which the day care required as part of its interview process, became the catalyst of a yearlong process that would result in

f you’re a customer of Westar Energy, you might be understandably confused about what’s about to happen to your electric bill. Is it going up or down? The answer is, it’s hard to say right now.

The confusion stems from decisions last week by two different regulatory agencies — one federal and one state — that deal with how much Westar charges for transmission fees. That’s the money it collects, separate and apart from the price of the electricity itself, for transmitting that electricity across a network of power lines and substations to get it from the power plant or wind farm to your neighborhood.

served in a part-time producer capacity for more than two years. When she shaved her head at the beginning of chemo treatments, five of her colleagues stood in solidarity by shaving theirs as well. The story made the nightly news.

“They were amazing.

They were basically what you’d want from your workplace when you’re going through something like that,” Alamo says.

Today, Alamo is starting to put all that in her past, but she remains cautiously optimistic. While the chemotherapy technically disabled the cancer and the Castleman disease, the rarity of Alamo’s condition means she will always remain on guard.

“Because there are so few people who have it, it’s hard to tell what a normal case is like,” Alamo explains. “I know it can come back, so I‘ll always have to be aware and looking for symptoms.”

But she refuses to play the victim; in fact, her experience has empowered her to search out opportunities for involvement.

“When I was feeling discouraged and tired and sick, I would try to remind myself that it could always be worse,” Alamo says. “It was humbling, and it makes me want to be active with organizations like St. Jude and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.”

a six-month merry-goround of inconclusive tests and anxiety that required consultations with specialists at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Kansas University Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Doctors finally diagnosed Alamo with Castleman disease, a rare disorder that causes overgrowth of cells in a person’s lymph nodes.

Castleman doesn’t always correlate directly with cancer, but in Alamo’s case, doctors found Hodgkin lymphoma in fall 2014. After months of anxiety and confusion, Alamo finally felt as if she was able to retake the reins, with an assertive treatment plan and an empowering personal choice.

“I shaved my head before my first chemo appointment. I had hair almost down to my waist — I’d been growing it for like seven years — and I didn’t want to see it slowly fall out and get thinner,” Alamo recalls. “I was expecting to be sad about it, but it just felt really good to do something I wanted to do and to be in charge, to have control again.”

For six months, Alamo visited LMH for

ALAMO FLEXES at one of her chemotherapy appointments. chemotherapy treatments every two weeks. Despite fighting off painful heartburn and an occasional bout of nausea, she remained positive, with the help of the oncology team.

“I could not have asked for better people to work with. Not just the nurses, but the people at the front desk. They’re all amazing,” Alamo says.

Along the way, she relied on the unwavering support of her husband, who provided the encouragement that Alamo’s family, now living in Pennsylvania, could only

share over social media or the telephone.

“I think he might’ve taken it harder than me,” Alamo says. “But he’s been amazing. He works so hard to make it so that I don’t have to worry about the little things.

He’ll go out of his way so that I can focus on myself and getting better.”

Alamo, who graduated from Kansas University in 2011 with a degree in film and media studies, also experienced overwhelming support from her co-workers at WOW 6 News, where she has

Of 61 student housing fires reported in 2014, a lone incident was caused by a cigarette tossed into mulch, according to KU’s

2015 Clery report. The other 60 all stemmed from cooking-gone-wrong.

Among casualties listed more specifically than just “cooking fire” or the ubiquitous “burnt popcorn” are: burnt hotdog, pork chops, bacon, hamburger, cookies, mac-n-cheese, meatballs, steaks, bagel, pizza box and plantains.

Fortunately in KU’s case, according to its 2015 Clery report, no human fire injuries or deaths from residential housing fires have been reported in at least the past three years.

students have to have a lot of stamina,” Splichal said. “There’s a lot of pressure. They are put into situations that can be overwhelming.”

The team got a bit of a late start in January with Splichal, district enhanced learning instructor Barbie Hartwell and EHS biology teacher Joe Pickett as coaches.

“We started with a larger team, but some interest waned,” Splichal said. “We’re down to the students who really wanted this.”

There are no school size distinctions in Science Olympiad. Eudora competed in a division

with a number of 6A schools, including both Lawrence Free State and 2015 state champion Olathe North.

At some larger schools, Science Olympiad is offered as a class, but the Eudora students must find time outside their regular classroom schedules to work on their projects, Hartwell said.

“They put in long hours on their projects, and all on their own time after school or on weekends,” she said. “That is in addition to their school work and other activities.

These students are very active in school.”

During those long

hours in the team’s lab, sophomore Phillip Pyle and junior Melanie Reese designed their state bronze-medal entry for the air trajectory competition.

“It was a lot of trial and error,” Reese said. “We saw a lot of examples in our research.”

What on first sight looks like a complicated Rube Goldberg contraption is a straightforward machine devised to launch a projectile in a controlled way through the use of a pulley, weights, tubing and a drum-like compression canister, its creators said.

Their design allows them

to adjust the amount of weight bounced off the drum canister’s rubber top and distance the weight drops.

Students get involved with Science Olympiad for various reasons, but Durkin, Pyle, Reese and Shain admit a big part of their decisions involved ambitions beyond high school.

“I chose the plane project because I want to be an aeronautical engineer,” Shain said. “At one of the universities I toured, the freshman project was a rubberband plane. I’ve learned all that on my own.”

Durkin, who mentioned several engineering fields

as career possibilities before agreeing with teammates she would end up in “something involving math,” said the competition pushed students beyond what they do in classrooms. Success requires a lot of research into subjects of interest and the application of that knowledge, she said.

“In a class, I probably would stop once I knew I had an A,” she said. “This keeps you much more motivated because you know you have to keep working.”

with the KCC to implement the agreement, and both the KCC and FERC need to sign off on the final numbers, a process that could take a number of months.

Westar estimates the agreement will save residential customers about $1.50 per month, Penzig said.

But here’s where things get complicated, and it explains why many customers are understandably confused. While those negotiations have been going on, Westar filed a new tariff request with the KCC, as it periodically must do, seeking to update its transmission tariff.

That request was based on the previous 10.3 percent ROE. And according to KCC spokesman Samir Arif, the commission was statutorily obligated to accept it once it had reviewed the numbers.

And so on Thursday, one day after the FERC settlement to lower the transmission tariff was

about recent media speculation that Westar could go up on the auction block sometime soon.

Penzig had a one-sentence answer when asked about those rumors: “We don’t comment on speculation in the marketplace.”

According to a Bloomberg story in March, it was Westar’s own CEO Mark Ruelle who fanned that speculation when he spoke to business reporters during a conference call in November about the company’s quarterly financial report.

“In the context of M&A (mergers and acquisition), given our relative size, we don’t really perceive ourselves likely to be a buyer, were there a consolidation,” Bloomberg quoted Ruelle as saying. “I think we would be more likely to see ourselves [as a] seller than a buyer.”

That comment caused Merger and acquisition Westar’s stock price to rumors skyrocket almost immeMeanwhile, some of you diately, which resulted may still be wondering in trading of the stock

being temporarily suspended.

Ruelle’s comment came in response to questions about a recent spate of mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. utility industry. According to the Bloomberg article, demand for electricity has been leveling off in recent years, and some companies have decided their only opportunity for growth is through acquisitions.

Bloomberg cited unnamed sources as saying Westar has been in talks with potential financial advisers as the company looks at its options.

Westar, which serves 700,000 customers in Kansas, is the state’s largest public utility company. But its operations are contained entirely within the state of Kansas.

The Baldwin City Council on Monday scheduled two meetings to consider capital improvement projects on the same night it was presented with conceptual plans for a new community center.

The plans Baldwin City Recreation Commission Director Steve Friend presented showed a building with two basketball courts circled by a second-story running track, a four-lane indoor swimming pool and a cardiovascular/weight training room. Neither the building nor its features have been approved.

Friend has previously estimated a community center would cost from $4.5 million to $5.5 million.

The Baldwin school board agreed March 28 to donate about 2.5 acres of property north of the high school for the community center, should Baldwin City voters approve funding for the construction of

the facility. It would be the City Council’s responsibility to provide the financing, a move that would probably require city voters to approve bond issue that would be retired through a mix of sales and property taxes.

The city developed conceptual plans with cost estimates for four proposed CIP items before the City Council’s budget deliberations of a year ago. In addition to the community center, those were a $1.1 million theater at the Lumberyard Arts Center, $500,000 in City Hall renovations, a $2.5 million public works facility and a $1.8 million police station.

The City Council scheduled two work sessions to discuss the CIP list in advance of 2017 budget discussions.

Those meetings will be at 6 p.m. April 21 and 24 at the Baldwin City Library.

announced, the KCC issued a separate order to raise the tariff by $25 million, or roughly $4 per month for an average customer. That order took effect immediately April 1.

Acknowledging that this is all just a bit hard for average customers to digest at once, the KCC included a statement in its press release Thursday saying its staff will continue to audit the new, higher transmission charge to make sure it stays within the new lower ROE limit.

For its part, Westar notes it has invested $1.3 billion in its power grid over the past 10 years, much of which has been for transmission lines that bring energy from its wind farms in central and western Kansas to its urban population centers in Wichita, Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka.

would see a reduction of 13 hours per year. In addition, specials — art, music and gym — would get two fewer instructional days per year.

The two additional plan days for teachers would mean two additional days off for students, and the committee is recommending that those be scheduled to coincide with days that middle and high school students are not in school because of parent-teacher conferences. Exactly where the five extra minutes to the

elementary school day would be added would be determined by the district’s busing schedule.

The report given by the Elementary Plan-Time Committee was one of two reports presented as part of the teacher contract negotiations Monday.

The second report was presented by the Evaluation Committee, and recommended adjustments that allow more flexibility in the teacher evaluation process. Those recommendations are a result of changes in federal law

that no longer require a student’s state assessment results be used in teacher evaluations.

“So teachers don’t have to feel like that one point in time is how their evaluation will be impacted,” said Anna Stubblefield, director of human resources for the district and co-chair of the Evaluation Committee. Stubblefield explained that other measures of student performance would still be part of teacher evaluations.

Under the federal No

Child Left Behind Act, which was revised in December, assessment results were used to calculate “student growth measures.”

The student growth measures were required to make up 20 percent of teacher evaluations.

Negotiators have three additional sessions scheduled. The next meeting will be from 5 to 7 p.m.

Oth- cable leading to each ers, though, have said to home. That’s not the case

with some older neighborhoods. But as more neighborhoods are built with fiber to the home, the chances of gigabit service being expanded seem to increase. That, however, may lead some to become concerned again about that digital divide question. Will only newly built neighborhoods have that highspeed service?

There certainly has been talk by some companies, though, of retrofitting existing neighborhoods with the needed fiber. That is what is going in Baldwin City by RG Fiber.

That Baldwin Citybased company has agreements in place to do that type of work in Lawrence as well, but company officials have said Eudora is next on its list for expansion, in part because Eudora helped the company find a route for its key piece of fiber while Lawrence officials got caught up in a broader debate about what type of help it should provide to RG Fiber and Lawrence-based Wicked Broadband. RG Fiber has said it still plans to offer service in Lawrence, but not until it gets underway in Eudora.

As for AT&T’s current project — brand name GigaPower — it is advertising gigabit service for $120 month. That price includes a large package of cable television channels. l I certainly do hear questions about gigabit service and its availability in Lawrence, but what I hear more frequently

are questions about other options for cable television service. It looks like later this year that a significant option is going to arrive in the city.

Perhaps you remember something in the national news about AT&T and DirectTV merging. That happened a few months ago, but last month the combined company made another announcement that I didn’t fully grasp the significance of: AT&T plans on streaming DirectTV content.

What that means is that most of the channels you can get through a DirectTV subscription will be available without having to put up the DirectTV satellite dish. Instead, the channels simply will be delivered to your home through your Internet connection. The Internet connection doesn’t have to be one provided by AT&T. Some pundits are calling it BYOB: Bring your own broadband.

AT&T already offers cable television service in parts of Lawrence through its U-verse service. But that service is available only in select locations of the community. That has meant that WOW continues to be the dominant cable television and broadband provider in the city. But once this new program begins, you could use WOW broadband service to get AT&T cable television service.

The big question, though, is which cable networks will be part of the package. AT&T officials have said the channel offerings will be broad

and large. But they haven’t provided details such as whether ESPN and other premium channels will be part of the package.

AT&T plans to roll out the new service in the fourth quarter of this year.

In other news and notes from around town: l Hancock Fabrics is closing its Lawrence store at 2108 W. 27th St. Those of you who read Town Talk perhaps were prepared for this. We reported in February that the Hancock Fabrics chain filed for bankruptcy protection and was closing 70 stores. The Lawrence store was not on that list of 70 store closures. But we also noted that there was speculation that the bankruptcy process would take a nasty turn and become a complete liquidation.

That is indeed what has happened. Great American Group, a company that specializes in liquidating failing businesses, ended up with the winning bid in the bankruptcy auction for Hancock. Great American Group has announced that it will close all 185 stores in the Hancock chain.

Going-out-of-business signs showed up in Lawrence over the weekend, and the store has begun discounting its merchandise. The company said it expects the going-out-ofbusiness sales to last for “several weeks” before all the merchandise is gone.

Moran CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Pompeo repeatedly evaded answering whether he is considering a primary challenge against Moran in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

“We just never comment on campaign activities that we are engaged in,” Pompeo said.

The political firestorm started last week when Moran told a town hall in Cimarron that Republicans should hold a hearing on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, a position at odds with Senate Republican leaders who are refusing to Moran do so. Republican leaders argue that the next president elected in November should nominate a replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly in Texas. Conservatives cried foul at Moran and he backtracked, saying that after examining Garland’s record he no longer needed a hearing to decide he would oppose the nominee.

Early Monday, Pompeo issued a statement that harshly criticized his colleague in the Kansas Congressional delegation.

Pompeo said he was pleased Moran, “at least for now,” is prepared to deny Garland a hearing, and said it was great for Kansas that voters forced the senator to reconsider his decision.

“As elected officials, we should never say one thing in Cimarron, Kansas and something else in the social parlors of Washington, D.C.,” Pompeo wrote.

Pompeo said he did not realize the political speculation his written statement had generated until he began getting contacted by media outlets.

He declined to talk about any polling his campaign or others may have done, saying only that he was focused on representing his Kansas district located around the state’s largest city of Wichita. He added that he always gets his “team focused” before talking to the public about official or campaign projects: “I always think horse before cart.”

Asked for a response, Moran’s office emailed a statement saying the two lawmakers have worked together on numerous issues benefiting Pompeo’s district.

“I wouldn’t have expected him to run against me without the courtesy of a conversation,” Moran said in the statement.

County to consider wind-energy tower regulations

The Douglas County Commission on Wednesday will consider regulations for wind generation towers and systems.

Consideration of the text amendment to county zoning regulations will include a public hearing at the meeting, which starts at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Douglas

County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. No formal action is expected on the text amendments that will be coming before commissioners for the first time, a fact signaled by the County Commission’s consideration at the same meeting of a measure to extend the moratorium on wind farms through July 31.

The county has had a moratorium on

wind-generated energy systems since December 2013. The moratorium was in response to the county’s lack of regulatory language concerning wind towers that came to light when NextEra Energy of Florida applied for a conditional use permit to install two meteorological towers to measure wind speeds in southern Douglas County.

The measure commissioners will consider would establish a two-tier approach to regulating wind generation towers.

Proposed text amendment language will regulate those for personal and small commercial use, which are defined as towers with a generating capacity of 50 kilowatts or less for consumption on site.

Those applications

would be addressed with building permits, with language developed to address setbacks, height, appearance and other effects on neighboring properties.

Large commercial applications, such as the NextEra Energy proposal, will continue to be considered through the county’s conditional use permit process. To make use of the conditional use permit process possible, the text

amendment adds wind towers as a permitted CUP use. It also establishes the application process for developers.

The proposed CUP language addresses the visual, noise, soil erosion, water quality, cultural heritage and infrastructure impacts of proposed towers.

Latin America next terror target?

EDITORIALS

Mayor choice Keeping Mike Amyx in the mayor’s seat for another nine months would be a smart move.

B

y changing the election schedule for city commissioners, the Kansas Legislature has thrown a wrinkle into the normal succession in the Lawrence mayor’s seat.

Although city and school board elections long have been held in April of odd-numbered years, state legislators decided last year that it would be better to hold those elections in November of odd-numbered years, with the new officials taking office on the following Jan. 1. To accommodate that switch current officials will have their terms extended until their replacements are elected.

The question Lawrence city commissioners will consider tonight is how to handle the mayor’s term, which has run from April to April. Although the commission can fill the mayor’s seat in a number of ways, the probable choice will be between having Mike Amyx serve through December or having Vice Mayor Leslie Soden move into the mayor’s chair and serve through December 2017.

The mayor situation in Lawrence was further scrambled by the resignation last August of Mayor Jeremy Farmer. At that time, Soden would have been in line to replace Farmer but she and her fellow commissioners wisely decided it would be best to have Amyx fill the remainder of Farmer’s term. Amyx was the only commissioner with more than a few months’ experience and he was best qualified to lead the city through a time of transition that included not only filling Farmer’s vacant seat but also hiring a new city manager to succeed David Corliss.

That reasoning still stands and provides a strong case for allowing Amyx to continue to serve as mayor through the rest of the calendar year.

In a commission-mayor form of government like the one in Lawrence, the mayor’s position is largely ceremonial but not insignificant in terms of setting the city’s agenda and presiding over meetings. Lawrence’s new city manager has only been on board for a couple of weeks and could benefit from Amyx’s experience.

This is an unusual circumstance that could be a plus for the city. The commission can take advantage of Amyx’s leadership for another nine months while the new city manager gets adjusted to his job and the rest of the commission gains experience. Then, by tradition, the mayor’s job could pass to Soden, who still would have the opportunity to serve a full one-year term as mayor starting in January.

Leaving Amyx in the mayor’s seat is a reasonable course that commissioners hopefully will choose to follow at tonight’s meeting.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 5, 1916: “The first community meeting ever held in North Lawrence was years held last evening, and it may mark ago an epoch in the development of IN 1916 that part of town. The 350 persons who gathered cheered enthusiastically when speakers declared that the time had come for the north side to get on an even footing with the civic development that prevails on the south side of the river. The speakers were the pastors of the various churches on the north side and others.”

Few in Latin America are even thinking about the possibility of an Islamic State terrorist attack in the region, but — following the recent attacks in Brussels, Paris and Tunisia — it may be time to do so.

It’s not a matter of academic speculation. Latin America had two major Middle East-sourced terrorist attacks in the 1990s, when suspected Iranian terrorists blew up the AMIA Jewish community center and the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires.

And, judging from what I heard in an interview last week with Luis Almagro, secretary general of the 34-country Organization of American States, there

Andres Oppenheimer

Anti-terrorism experts say that ISIS is being militarily defeated in Syria and Iraq, where it seeks to establish its Islamic caliphate, and is therefore shifting to growing terrorist activities abroad.”

are good reasons to start preparing for a possible new Middle Eastern terrorist strike in the region.

Almagro, whose organization presides over the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism, told me that an undisclosed number of Latin American youths have been recruited by the Islamic State on the Internet, and have joined the terrorist group in Syria.

“We also know that people from the Americas and the Caribbean are returning to their home countries, some of them after having participated in the Syrian war,” Almagro said. “We cannot speculate how many, but enough to undertake (terrorist) actions.”

At least 27,000 foreigners from 86 countries have traveled to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State since 2011, including 250 from the United States and 76 from South America,

according to a study by the Soufan Group, a New York-based private security intelligence firm.

Anti-terrorism experts say that ISIS is being militarily defeated in Syria and Iraq, where it seeks to establish its Islamic caliphate, and is therefore shifting to growing terrorist activities abroad.

While it is likely to continue focusing on Europe and the United States, the Islamic State may seek to strike against U.S., European or Israeli embassies in Latin America in an effort to show the world — and its own followers — that it is still alive, and that it has a global reach.

In addition, there are many other Middle Eastern terrorist groups already active in Latin America — such as the Iran-backed Hezbollah — which have a growing presence in Venezuela and other countries, U.S. officials say.

In testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee last year, Gen. John Kelly, at the time commander of the U.S. Southern Command, said that “partner nation officials throughout the region have expressed concern over the increasing number of suspected Islamic extremists from the hemisphere who are traveling to Syria to participate in jihad.”

“Some take part in military and weapons training before departing.

Last year, 19 Trinidadian Muslims were detained in Venezuela for conducting training with high-powered weapons,” Kelly said.

Voters need better choices Occasionally I am asked if I ever considered running for political office.

My response: “I did once, but I took two aspirin, lay down for a while and the feeling went away.”

Besides not wanting to accept a pay cut, why would I want to put myself through the agony of exposing the smallest misdeed and bad decision to political opponents and a ravenous media who could turn my public image into something no family member would recognize? Not to mention the amount of money I would have to raise that would go up exponentially the higher the office sought. With each donated dollar a little piece of my soul, character and integrity must ultimately be exchanged. Why else do people donate if they don’t expect something in return? Might that something somehow dilute whatever virtues I am perceived to possess?

What I have just described are major reasons why people who might be smart and capable enough to run for office decline the “honor.” Who looks forward to having one’s sins exposed by the media and gloating opponents who seek to destroy a fellow candidate, rather than beat him (or her) on the field of ideas?

If I were to run I would issue a press release on every sin I can remember having committed, because for the media and the other party (and sometimes with candidates in one’s own party) it isn’t about what one has done, as much as what one is hiding.

Looking at today’s remaining field of presidential candidates reminds me of a quote from John F. Kennedy when he ran for president in 1960 against the legacy of the Eisenhower-Nixon administration. “We can do better,” said JFK. We certainly can, but the signs offer little reason for optimism.

On one side in this presidential contest we have a tired old warhorse, Hillary Clinton, whose chief qualifications for office appear to be her gender and a sense of entitlement after sticking with her adulterous husband. She has no real accomplishments to which she can point. The other Democratic candidate is an even older dinosaur who metaphorically wants to change America’s initials from USA to ATM, with free stuff for all, paid for by taxing “millionaires and billionaires.” Millennials, who apparently

have no clue about economics, drink the red Kool-Aid like members of a cult.

On the Republican side there is Donald Trump. Polls show Trump has unified much of America like few other politicians. Unfortunately for him, most are unified in opposition.

There is Sen. Ted Cruz, who might save the GOP from Trump, but who needs to work on his own likeability.

Ohio Governor John Kasich remains in the race for reasons known only to himself. Kasich is proving the cynicism of baseball coach Leo Durocher’s line, “nice guys finish last.”

There must be a better way to nominate and elect a president. The Constitution provides little guidance. There is nothing in it about parties, conventions, or length of campaigns.

Why must we endure nonstop politicking? As soon as one election ends, people start positioning themselves for the next one. Much of this is due to the voracious media, especially cable news. This fixation on politicians as saviors doesn’t benefit the country.

Can academia, or think tanks, put together a plan that points to a better way to get good people in office at lower cost and less time commitment?

Would politicians of both parties accept it? It is obscene that it takes $1 billion to run for president today.

We can do better, but will we? We had better, or face the likelihood of even worse political choices in the future.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

He added, “When these foreign fighters return, they will possess operational experience, ties to global extremists, and possible intent to harm Western interests.”

Kelly added that Iran has established about 80 “cultural centers” in Latin America, and that “as the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, Iran’s involvement in the region and these cultural centers is a matter for concern.”

My opinion: What’s most worrying is not that some Latin American youths are going to Syria to join the Islamic State — there are losers searching for a cause in every continent — but the fact that most Latin American countries lack serious intelligence agencies that are focusing on global terrorism.

When the Islamic State carried out its recent attacks in Brussels and Paris, it was only a matter of hours until the terrorists were identified, and we could see their faces on TV. In Latin America, more than two decades have passed since the bombings in Buenos Aires and we still don’t know who the terrorists were.

What’s worse, most intelligence agencies in Latin America are geared to spy on government opponents, not foreign terrorists. It’s time for the region to take a serious look at ISIS, Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist groups. There are already enough warning signs out there.

PUBLIC FORUM

Medicare concern To the editor: As a rheumatologist who treats Medicare patients, I am deeply concerned by a recent proposal from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that could result in further payment cuts for Medicare Part B drugs. If implemented, this mandatory payment model test would wreak havoc on patients and cause massive access and safety problems.

Many rheumatologists have already been forced to stop administering biologic therapies to Medicare patients suffering from arthritis, lupus and other rheumatic diseases because the current Part B payment structure does not cover the cost of obtaining and providing these complex therapies to patients. An additional payment cut would drive even more Medicare patients into less safe and more expensive settings — such as the patient’s home or the hospital — to receive needed therapies, if they can access them at all.

The proposed pay cuts are intended to incentivize physicians to prescribe less expensive drugs, but there are very few Part B biologics available to rheumatology patients to begin with, and their costs are all similar. Biologics are complex and cannot be easily interchanged or switched for less expensive options. Once a patient finds a biologic that works for him or her, it may be the only option.

Rheumatologists welcome meaningful reforms that will make biologics more affordable. However, the current proposed Medicare payment cuts will do nothing more than restrict Medicare patients’ access to safe and life-changing therapies.

RUSSIA: PANAMA LEAK TARGETED PUTIN Documents don’t mention president but include friends Kim Hjelmgaard and Anna Arutunyan USA TODAY

Russia said Monday that President Vladimir Putin was the main target of an unprecedented media leak into the financial activity of wealthy individuals who hold accounts offshore.

Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, told the Russian news agenMOSCOW

cy Interfax that it was “obvious” the aim of the anonymous release of more than 11 million documents belonging to Mossack Fonseca, a law firm in Panama, was to undermine the president before parliamentary elections likely to be held in September. Peskov said Putin had not committed any crime.

Though Putin’s name does not appear in any of the records published Sunday in a massive coordinated investigation among dozens of media groups, the paper trail does show that many of his associates and close friends — including musician Sergei Roldugin, godfather to his daughter Maria and the man who intro-

duced him to his wife, Lyudmilla — made millions from deals that would have been hard to do without his knowledge. Before the leak, the Kremlin said it was aware that an organization was trying to smear the president.

An unnamed spokesman for

businessman Arkady Rotenberg confirmed to the RBC news service that Rotenberg had given loans to Roldugin, but the loans were commercial and several times smaller than the ones alleged in the documents just released. According to the report, Roldugin controlled two offshore companies — Sonnette Overseas and International Media Oversees — which received loans from three offshore companies belonging to Rotenberg totaling $185 million.

Russian state-owned television largely ignored the reports, except for the NTV station. “It is clear that the degree of Putinophobia has reached a level where it is ...

impossible to say anything good about Russia, about its successes,” Putin spokesman Peskov said, according to NTV. A handful of activists held protests Monday near the Kremlin, holding up signs calling for Putin’s impeachment.

Russian member of parliament Alexander Tarnavsky said as much as 80% of the Russian economy is controlled by offshore companies, the TASS news agency reported.

Russia’s state Duma has pledged to fight this problem and bring capital back into the country.

Hjelmgaard reported from Berlin.

Wisconsin as Waterloo? Anti-Trump faction hopes so Walker: ‘Tuesday is going to be a turning point’

David Jackson USA TODAY

MILWAUKEE Some Republicans see Wisconsin as more than a single presidential primary.

They view it as a pivotal moment in a brutal battle for the future of the Republican Party.

Opponents of maverick frontrunner Donald Trump, notably rival candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich, see Tuesday’s contest as essential to their efforts to deny him the delegates he needs to claim the GOP presidential nomination.

“Tuesday is going to be a turning point in this election,” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the former presidential candidate who backs Cruz, said in Green Bay on Sunday.

Campaigning with Cruz in Kenosha, Wis., on Monday, Walker said he isn’t against anybody, but he predicted the primary will be a

positive move for Cruz “getting to the 1,237 delegates he’ll need at the convention.”

Though polls give Cruz a lead in the Badger State, Trump — after a period of struggles over his comments about women and foreign policy — predicted an upset that will all but clinch the GOP nomination.

“If we do well here, folks, it’s over,” Trump told supporters

during a rally Monday in La Crosse, Wis. “If we don’t win here, it’s not over — but wouldn’t you like to take the credit here in Wisconsin for ending it?”

Cruz, citing Trump’s low approval ratings among women, Hispanics and other groups of voters, has told crowds in Wisconsin that the New York billionaire’s nomination would be a “train wreck” in the fall election — before quickly adding, “That’s actually not fair to train wrecks.”

Ohio Gov. Kasich, who campaigned Monday in New York state, is also looking for delegates in Wisconsin. Trump has called on him to exit the race.

Responding to Trump’s attacks, Kasich said Monday, “I thought we got out of the sandbox years ago.”

Winter gets in a few final frosty licks in Northeast Baseball and blooms feel lingering chill Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Say it ain’t so: Winter is just refusing to let go.

Heavy snow pasted parts of the Great Lakes and Northeast on Sunday into Monday, and whiteout conditions in New York state caused dozens of accidents.

A tour bus crashed near the small Adirondacks town of Minerva, N.Y., on Monday, causing

several injuries, though none was life-threatening, according to the (Glens Falls, N.Y.) Post-Star newspaper.

Winter weather advisories remained in place Monday for parts of New England and New York state, the National Weather Service said. Additional snowfall accumulations of 2 to 6 inches were possible across southern New England by the time the storm wound down late Monday, the weather service reported.

Wind chill temperatures were in the chilly teens and 20s Monday across most of the Great Lakes states and Northeast.

Howling weekend winds blasted the area, knocking out power to tens of thousands of people from Indiana to New England.

The Weather Channel named the winter storm Ursula.

In New York City, a dreary forecast of cold rain and snow forced the postponement of the Yankees’ home opener Monday against the Houston Astros. The game will be made up Tuesday.

In Cleveland, the opener between the Indians and Boston Red Sox also was postponed because of temperatures in the 30s, gusty winds and a forecast for snow flurries. That game will also be made up Tuesday.

Yet another round of wintry precipitation is expected for portions of the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday, the weather service said.

Looking past Tuesday’s snow, no real signs of consistent spring warmth are forecast for the north-central and northeastern USA for the first half of April, according to AccuWeather.

‘Panama Papers’ not hard to purloin 11.5 million leaked documents amount to about 260 movies Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

The 11.5 million leaked documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca are providing a treasure trove of data on a hidden world of offshore accounts and murky dealings.

Expect more such leaks in the future.

“It’s becoming much easier than it used to be to store and SAN FRANCISCO

move very large amounts of data.

I would expect this to continue,” said John King, a professor of information at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbo.

The history of such leaks shows a steady increase in their depth and breadth, as information technology has become more sophisticated and allowed more data to be captured and revealed by leakers.

In 1948, spy Whittaker Chambers famously hid two rolls of microfilm in a hollowed-out pumpkin in a pumpkin patch.

The film contained just 58 images of State and Navy Department documents.

By 1969, anti-war activist Dan-

iel Ellsberg spent multiple nights laboriously making photocopies of the so-called Pentagon Papers, a 700-page report by the Department of Defense covering U.S. decision-making in Vietnam.

Excerpts were eventually published in The New York Times and the The Washington Post.

WikiLeaks has published nearly 500,000 documents leaked by hackers who attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment on Thanksgiving of 2014.

In 2013 Edward Snowden leaked more than 1.5 million documents from the National Security Agency to the press.

What are being called “the Panama Papers” contain 10 times

that amount.

The documents are estimated to contain about 2.6 terabytes of data, according to the Suddeutsche Zeitung, the German newspaper that first obtained them.

It’s not that much data. Ten terabytes would be about 260 HD movies. Today, big-box stores routinely sell solid-state drives that hold 3 terabytes of data and are just a little thicker than a smartphone.

Moving that much data surreptitiously out of a network also isn’t that hard. “If you have the time, you can remove an enormous amount of data in not very much elapsed time because you

can take it in chunks,” King said.

According to a report by cyber security firm Mandiant, the median number of days hackers spend inside a system before they’re discovered was 205 in 2015.

Of course, that depends on the network, whether the people who own it are watching and what kinds of movement they are used to seeing.

“Transferring 11 terabytes of data wouldn’t even be noticed on the Netflix or Amazon networks, but would stand out pretty quickly most other places,” said Jonathan Sander, vice president of Lieberman Software, a cyber security firm based in Los Angeles.

Sanders aims for Wisconsin win, but delegate deficit looms large Sen. Bernie Sanders says he has a path to the Democratic nomination and is best-suited to defeat Republican Donald Trump.

F

or Hillary Clinton, a loss in Wisconsin on Tuesday would be another reminder that Bernie Sanders isn’t going anywhere.

Recent polls show Sanders with a narrow lead in the Badger State. While a win there by the Vermont senator wouldn’t significantly change Clinton’s sizable delegate lead, it would give Sanders enough of a lift to continue his uphill battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Clinton comes into the race having lost five of the last six contests, and last month she lost to Sanders in neighboring Michigan, undercutting her campaign’s argument that the Vermont senator is a regional candidate whose appeal is limited mainly to young, white college students.

Still, cutting into Clinton’s overall delegate lead remains a formidable challenge for Sanders.

“There’s optics, and then

there’s math,” said David Wasserman, an elections analyst with the non-partisan Cook Political Report in Washington.

Clinton has a lead of more than 250 pledged delegates, and her lead is even greater when superdelegates — elected officials and party leaders who are free to support anyone irrespective of primary results — are factored in.

Since Wisconsin, like all states in the Democratic race, awards delegates proportionally, Sanders won’t be able to reduce her overall delegate lead by much unless he’s able to win by a large margin.

Clinton had hoped to box Sanders out of the race last month in Michigan, where he pulled off a stunning upset. Since then, she’s tried look more toward her potential GOP opponents in the fall — only to be drawn back into battling with Sanders.

In recent campaign appearances and in an ABC News interview on Monday, Clinton is emphasizing her loyalty to the Democratic Party, contrasting

Hillary Clinton holds a lead in delegates but is lowering expectations in Wisconsin.

among Republicans, something of a tradition for more than a century. Ever since the pivotal campaign between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in 1912, conservatives and more moderate Republicans have fought for control of the party.

This time, it’s Trump and his band of insurgents who say the GOP “establishment” has failed the public against party members who say the businessman cannot win a general election and may cost them control of the U.S. Senate and House.

Trump enjoys a large delegate lead headed into Wisconsin, his 736 delegates are well ahead of both Cruz (463) and Kasich (143), according to the Associated Press.

Rivals hope a loss in Wisconsin, combined with the businessman’s other political problems, will generate an anti-Trump bandwagon that will prevent him from obtaining the 1,237 delegates necessary to win on a first ballot at the convention.

Whoever wins the nomination faces a tough challenge reuniting a riven Republican Party.

“I will never under any circumstances support Donald Trump,”

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

With Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, center, by his side, Ted Cruz greets patrons at the 2510 Restaurant in Wausau, Wis. said Steve Finn, 50, a plumber from Milwaukee who backs Kasich. Speaking during a weekend Milwaukee County Republican fish fry, Finn said Trump would be “awful for the country.”

Trump, Cruz and Kasich have withdrawn pledges to support the GOP nominee if it is not them.

Some Republicans hope for the emergence of another candidate at the convention in July in Cleveland, perhaps House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

Trump backers have revived talk of a third-party bid if he is denied the nomination.

Trump supporters who saw their candidate at Nathan Hale High School near Milwaukee said the party should rally around the New York businessman, saying he brings new voters and can defeat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

Kathy Hanko, 46, a business-

woman from Waukesha, said Trump will work with establishment Republicans, and vice versa, mainly because of the importance of the fall election: “Are they going to take Trump, or are they going to take Hillary?”

Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, said his surveys reflect GOP divisions that are “likely to persist into the fall.” He said there is evidence that there will be more Republican support for the eventual nominee “than the rhetoric of ‘never Trump’ might suggest,” largely because of intense dislike for Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee.

Republican infighting is nothing new.

A little more than a century ago, in 1912, a former Republican president, Theodore Roosevelt, challenged a sitting Republican president, William Howard Taft.

herself with Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist who has served in Congress as an independent.

“I am committed to electing Democrats,” Clinton said on ABC’s Good Morning America.

“I’m committed to raising money.

I’m already helping to fund Democratic campaigns, because at the end of the day, a president can do a lot, and I have a very robust agenda with big goals for our country,” she said.

Of Sanders, she said, “There’s no indication there’s any interest there.”

Sanders pointed to recent polls showing he is better able to defeat Republican front-runner Donald Trump in November.

The RealClearPolitics polling average shows he leads Trump by 5 more percentage points than Clinton does.

“We have a path to victory,” Sanders said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press.

Sanders’ campaign also continues to be a fundraising juggernaut, and he outspent Clinton

in television advertising in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is favorable to Sanders for a number of reasons. It has an overwhelmingly white electorate and is home to a number of universities, including in Madison.

Unlike states such as New York, its primary also is open to independent voters, who have overwhelmingly backed Sanders, including in New Hampshire where he won by a landslide.

Clinton lost Wisconsin by 17 points in 2008, and her campaign already is downplaying a potential loss by casting the state as the heart of the type of progressive activism that Sanders represents.

With Sanders showing momentum, tensions are flaring between the two campaigns, including over scheduling a debate before New York’s primary on April 19. Late Monday, CNN reported that Sanders and Clinton had agreed to debate in Brooklyn on April 14, which CNN and NY1 will host.

When the party renominated Taft, Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate and split off enough votes to help elect Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

In 1964, enough Republican moderates refused to support conservative nominee Barry Goldwater to cost the Arizona senator a chance to defeat President Lyndon Johnson, leading to big Republican losses in Congress.

Former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson, a Republican who attended the fish fry to stump for Kasich, recalled fears of a fatal Republican split during the convention battle between President Gerald Ford and conservative challenger Ronald Reagan in 1976. “There were accusations this was going to destroy the party,” Thompson said.

Ford did (narrowly) lose the

election to Jimmy Carter, but the party did reunite to elect Reagan four years later.

Supreme Court upholds ‘one person, one vote’ Justices leave intact counting residents, a blow to conservatives Richard Wolf USA TODAY

T

WASHINGTON

he Supreme Court refused Monday to change the way state and municipal voting districts are drawn, denying an effort by conservatives that could have increased the number of rural, mostly white districts at the expense of urban, largely Hispanic ones.

The “one person, one vote” case was among the most consequential of the high court’s term, and once again the court’s liberal wing won out.

The unanimous ruling left intact Texas’ method — followed by nearly all states — of counting all residents when drawing state and local voting districts.

Challengers had argued only eligible voters should be counted, a method that would have allowed states to ignore non-citizens and others who do not vote, including children. In most cases, that would have helped Republican candidates and hurt Democrats. More people would be packed into diverse, inner-city districts to account for non-voters, thereby creating more suburban and rural districts dominated by whites.

If the court had ruled that districts should be based on eligible voters rather than total population, states with large numbers of non-citizens would have seen the biggest change — Texas, California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona and Nevada among them. Cities such as Chicago and Miami also would have been affected.

Six justices signed on to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s opinion, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy. Justices Samuel

“

Adopting votereligible apportionment as constitutional command would upset a well-functioning approach to districting that all 50 states and countless local jurisdictions have followed for decades, even centuries.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her opinion

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the opinion, signed by six other justices that leaves intact the way state and municipal districts are drawn.

IN BRIEF KOREAN WAR VETERAN LAID TO REST

Alito and Clarence Thomas, the most conservative members of the court, concurred but did not rule out the potential benefit of counting voters. “Adopting voter-eligible apportionment as constitutional command would upset a well-functioning approach to districting that all 50 states and countless local jurisdictions have followed for decades, even centuries,” Ginsburg wrote.

Because challengers had sought to force a change to counting only eligible voters, the court did not rule on a lesser possibility — that states merely be allowed to switch to voters.

But no states currently do so, partly because of the difficulty in counting voters rather than all residents.

“We need not and do not resolve whether, as Texas now argues, states may elect to draw districts to equalize voter population instead,” Ginsburg said.

Thomas and Alito agreed that Texas cannot be forced to switch to using only eligible voters in drawing districts, but they said switching is not necessarily unconstitutional.

“The choice is best left for the people of the states to decide for themselves how they should apportion their legislature,” Thomas wrote.

The equal protection clause of the Constitution is supposed to guarantee each person the same political power.

The problem is that the Supreme Court still has not decided who should be counted — all people, or just voters. The Texas decision, Evenwel v. Abbott, merely says states’ use of total population is constitutional.

Edward Blum, director of the Project on Fair Representation, which initiated the case, expressed disappointment at the verdict.

“The issue of voter equality in the United States is not going to go away,” he said. “Some Supreme Court cases grow in importance over time, and Evenwel v. Abbott may likely be one of those cases.”

SIGHTSEEING HELICOPTER CRASH IN TENNESSEE KILLS 5

SENATORS REMAIN LOCKED OVER SUPREME COURT

A sightseeing helicopter crash in eastern Tennessee killed five people Monday afternoon, police said.

“There was not much left of the helicopter,” said Pigeon Forge Police Chief Jack Baldwin near the scene. “There’s just a small piece of the tailwing and that’s about what’s left of the helicopter.”

Witnesses reported hearing explosions and seeing fire after the crash around 3:30 p.m. They also reported seeing the helicopter crash into trees.

Officials told the Federal Aviation Administration that the Bell 206 two-bladed sightseeing helicopter was destroyed by fire.

Senators remained at a stalemate Monday over the the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court as they returned from a two-week recess marked by heavy lobbying from groups supporting and opposing an up-ordown vote on the judge.

Republican leaders still are vowing not to hold hearings or a confirmation vote on Garland while Democrats are still demanding action on the nomination.

More than a dozen Republicans have indicated that they will meet with Garland, although all but two still oppose any action beyond granting him that traditional courtesy. Garland serves as chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In a major victory for Big Labor and the little guy, governors of California and New York each signed legislation Monday that will push the minimum wage in those states to $15 per hour.

California Gov. Jerry Brown’s legislation makes his state the first to commit to raising the minimum wage to $15 by the end of 2022. Under a deal reached with state lawmakers last week, the state minimum wage will rise to $10.50 on Jan. 1 for businesses with 26 or more employees. Annual increases will result in a minimum of $15 per hour in January 2022.

Smaller businesses would have until the end of 2022 to comply.

“This is about economic justice,” Brown said at a ceremony in Los Angeles. “This is an important day. It’s not the end of the struggle but it’s a very important step forward.”

The increase will boost the wages of about 6.5 million California residents, or 43% of the state’s workforce, who earn less than $15, according to worker group Fight for $15.

New York’s plan will bring the $15 level to New York City before it goes statewide.

“Proud to sign into law $15 statewide minimum wage and the strongest paid family leave policy in the nation,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo tweeted after signing the bill at a labor rally in New York City.

For workers in New York City employed by businesses with at least 11 employees, the minimum wage would rise to $11 at the end of 2016, then another $2 each of the next two years. For employees of smaller companies in the city, the minimum wage would rise to $10.50 by the end of the year, then another $1.50 each year for three years.

For workers elsewhere in the state, the increase would be slower.

MIKE NELSON , EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Supporters of the new minimum wage law celebrate after California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation Monday, making California the first state to commit to raising the rate to $15.

“This is about economic justice.

This is an important day. It’s not the end of the struggle but it’s a very important step forward.”

California Gov. Jerry Brown

New York’s family-leave provision, when fully implemented in 2012, will make workers eligible for 12 weeks of paid leave when caring for an infant, a family member with a serious health condition or to relieve family pressures when someone is called to active military service.

About a dozen cities have already approved bumps in their minimum wages to $15, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and several other municipalities in California.

The federal minimum wage has stalled at $7.25 because of fierce opposition from some Republicans in Congress who want the labor market to determine the pay floor.

Foes of increasing the federal level say the higher labor costs could force some businesses to replace workers with technology — or even shut down.

The Democratic Party adopted a $15 minimum in its platform this election season, and Sen. Bernie Sanders supports it.

Hillary Clinton has said she backs a $12 pay floor.

Family members of a black man fatally shot in the back by a white South Carolina police officer say they still grieve, but are heartened by some positive changes in law enforcement.

The family of Walter Scott, 50, made the comments Monday at a ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of his death.

Scott was shot five times by officer Michael Slager after he tried to flee from a traffic stop; a passer-by recorded the incident on his phone and the video of the shooting went viral, fueling the on-going debate about the mistreatment of black men by white police officers.

Scott’s relatives on Monday laid flowers at his grave and held a moment of silence, followed by an address to the media.

“We have seen a lot of positive changes over the past year,” said Scott’s brother, Anthony Scott.

NEWS MONEY Alaska-Virgin shake on deal as West’s ‘go-to’ airline SPORTS LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL

5B

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 2016

Ben Mutzabaugh USA TODAY

One of the nation’s oldest airlines announced plans to buy one of its newest Monday, when Alaska Airlines’ parent company confirmed a $2.6 billion deal to acquire upstart Virgin America.

The move breathes life into a wave of industry consolidation that appeared to have ended after the American-US Airways merger that closed last year.

The latest deal would bring together Seattle-based Alaska Air-

lines and San Francisco-based Virgin America, combining airlines that each enjoy strong customer service reputations into a single West Coast juggernaut.

It also comes after four megamergers since 2008, deals that took eight of the USA’s biggest airlines and combined them into four larger carriers that now collectively control about 80% of the U.S. market.

“For an airline like Alaska, that says scale is relevant,” Brad Tilden, CEO of the Alaska Air Group that includes Alaska Airlines. “It gives us a shot at being your go-to

airline if you live anywhere up and down the West Coast.”

Alaska Airlines, with roots tracing to 1932, is the dominant carrier in the Pacific Northwest.

It’s the busiest carrier at both the fast-growing Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and at Oregon’s Portland International.

Virgin America began flying only in 2007, launched with the partial backing of British tycoon Sir Richard Branson and his global Virgin brand.

The airline has become a major player in California, establishing its biggest hub in San Francisco,

with another in Los Angeles.

The deal is valued at $57 per share.

Jim Corridore, an analyst with S&P Global Market Intelligence, says that the deal is great for Virgin America and would likely be a boon — eventually — for Alaska investors as well.

“Alaska is paying a very high price for these assets, but they were forced into a bidding war with JetBlue. I think it’s going to be a great deal for them but take a little bit for the payoff to come.”

akeout? Or real deal?

The most-hated bull market in Wall Street history still has disbelievers after a rocky start for stocks in early 2016 — and despite a rebound that erased all of the earlyyear losses.

Wall Street is debating whether the stock market rally since midFebruary that pushed stocks up more than 13% and back into the black for the year has real staying power or whether it’s a fleeting bounce that will end with the market reverting back to its earlyyear downward trend and lead to the first bear market, or 20% drop, since the 2008-09 financial crisis.

Doug Ramsey, chief investment officer at Leuthold Group, is one skeptic who thinks stocks are currently enjoying a “bear market rally,” or a brief period of rising prices that ends without new record highs and a bear market.

Bulls counter by saying the aging bull, which is now in its seventh year and the third longest in history, can continue to head higher and carve out fresh alltime highs before it rolls over for good.

Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, says he’s sticking with his call for this bull to last another eight to 13 years.

He says 2015 and 2016 are “transitional” years for the U.S. market, as it transitions away from old drivers, such as zero rates, credit-driven investment plays, emerging-market growth and commodity boom, and back toward “high-quality” U.S. largecap stocks.

“Being bullish is about faith and fundamentals,” Belski said.

“When the U.S. economy and earnings improve, interest rates will go up, and when they do, mom-and-pop investors in Willmar, Minn., will sell their bonds and buy real U.S. companies, big brand-name companies they know.”

Feds follow big bucks to nab tax evaders Even U.S. has become a haven for secret offshore accounts

Home-equity lines of credit Now 6 months ago Year ago

Stocks up more than 13% since February

Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The U.S. and other countries around the world are cracking down on offshore accounts in a bid to identify and penalize suspected tax evaders. Other investigations show the U.S. itself has become a site for offshore tax evasion.

In the U.S. alone, use of secret offshore accounts to evade federal taxes has cost the Department of the Treasury at least $100 bil-

lion annually, a 2008 Senate report estimated.

U.S. taxpayers whose gross income exceeds a minimum threshold are required to file annual tax returns that report income from all sources worldwide. Federal laws also require the owners to submit IRS reports showing the existence of any foreign accounts, as well as separate disclosures for offshore accounts with an aggregate value of $10,000 or more.

Department of Justice and IRS investigators launched their crackdown in 2008 by focusing on Swiss banking giant UBS. Headquartered in Zurich and Basel, centers of Switzerland’s long tradition of banking secrecy, UBS actively marketed its financial

services to American clients.

In 2009, UBS acknowledged that it created undisclosed offshore accounts for American clients and sent its bankers on secret trips into the U.S. to help the clients evade taxes.

The efforts included equipping the bankers with encrypted laptops to thwart any investigation and having the bankers handdeliver cash from the secret accounts without any identifying paperwork.

UBS agreed to a deferred-prosecution agreement that required the bank to pay a $780 million settlement and turn over account information for nearly 4,500 U.S. clients. From that beginning, U.S. investigators have broadened the

probe’s focus to dozens of other Swiss banks, as well as banks, financial institutions and other companies in Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, the Caribbean, Panama, Israel, India and other locations suspected as havens for offshore tax evasion.

Dozens of former Swiss bank and other foreign bank clients have been accused of ducking the IRS in recent years. A few have been sentenced to prison terms.

For instance, U.S. military doctor Michael Canale of Jupiter, Fla., was sentenced to a six-month federal prison term in 2013 after he pleaded guilty to failure to notify the IRS about Swiss bank accounts that three years earlier had held nearly $1.5 million.

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

U.S. corporate earnings are in a so-called profits recession. But contracting profit growth in the final two quarters of 2015 and another negative quarter for 2016 is pretty much known on Wall Street.

That’s why what corporate CEOs say about future quarters is critical when the first-quarter earnings season unofficially kicks off next week when aluminum maker Alcoa reports its results.

“With earnings season upon us, the most important takeaway for investors is what management guidance has to say about the rest of the year,” says David Donabedian, chief investment officer of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management, which

manage nearly $27 billion in client assets.

“While analysts have been furiously downgrading estimates, the actual reports will likely beat these estimates,” he added. “Management guidance was cloudy and downbeat at the end of 2015.

Analysts now will be looking for any changes in the upcoming guidance reports, reading the tea leaves and hoping for clarity about what to expect for the rest of the year.”

Heading into the second quarter, Donabedian says investors should expect more market ups and downs and prepare for lower returns. “While prices got cheap at the beginning of the year, that has been taken care of by the recent rally,” he said. “We expect earnings to improve but to grow slowly. We have a slightly upward bias for the rest of the year. It’s all about stock picking.”

Personal-finance software due for a makeover Q: Is Quicken still valuable for investors?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Most people simply use their bank or brokerage websites to track their finances. But savvy investors know a tool like Quicken still has a place.

Due to years of neglect, Quicken looks dated and is a bit more complicated then some less-powerful personal finance apps. But investors know the software is still valuable.

Quicken can analyze data not just from one bank or brokerage but all of them, giving investors a comprehensive view of their entire portfolio. Quicken also allows investors to fine-tune their asset allocation, for instance, seeing what percentage of their total accounts, including retirement funds, are in bonds, small cap stocks, real estate or foreign investments. Quicken also helps investors measure total risk exposure.

This type of information is one of the best ways for investors to enhance longterm success.

Eric Dunn, CEO of the new company and a long-term Quicken employee, says he knows the product needs to be updated and promises to do so. Quicken was recently sold by its former parent company, Intuit (INTU), to a private equity firm, H.I.G. Capital.

The new structure allows Quicken to update its software and migrate to the cloud to make it more modern and useful, Dunn says.

FCC’s new labels for Internet shoppers will look familiar New consumer broadband labels for home and mobile Internet service resemble nutrition labels.

Mike Snider USA TODAY

New consumer broadband labels, unveiled by the Federal Communications Commission on Monday, aim to educate buyers about the Internet service they are shopping for.

Just as food labels tell you what you are about to eat, new consumer broadband labels let you know how big of a broadband bill you might be biting off before you sign a contract.

FCC

information that consumers need to make an informed purchase decision,” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said during an event unveiling the labels Monday.

The labels, designed for home and mobile broadband service, look like “a nutrition label,” he said.

The FCC’s Open Internet or Net neutrality rules, passed last year, require Internet service providers (ISPs) to disclose information about their services in an understandable fashion. The labels, which the FCC worked with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on creating, are not

mandatory. But they’re recommended by the agency to bring ISPs into compliance.

Examples of the labels provided by the FCC show monthly charges and data allotments, along with costs for exceeding limits.

The average monthly broadband bill is $60-$70, the FCC said. But taxes and fees can add as much as 40% to advertised broadband services, the agency says. “Hidden fees have no place to hide,” Wheeler said. “The surprise of when you open your first bill and you say, ‘That wasn’t what I was expecting,’ won’t hap-

pen anymore because everything is laid out.”

In creating the labels, the CFPB addressed Internet service as it had previously designed disclosures for mortgages and student loans. “Signing up for (Internet) service represents a significant financial commitment,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray.

The National Cable & Telecommunications Association said in a statement, “We appreciate this contribution by the commission to offer consumers that same information in a format they are familiar with.”

GOOD DAY ‘GAME OF THRONES’ FANS HBO is getting in the ‘Game’ with Bill Simmons. In the network’s first move since announcing its partnership with the Grantland founder, HBO has ordered a weekly talk show titled ‘After the Thrones,’ based on the wildly popular ‘Game of Thrones.’ The show will be hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan, who headed up Grantland’s podcast ‘Watch the Thrones.’ It will be available on HBO’s streaming platforms and on demand starting on April 25, one day after the series’ Season 6 premiere.

ourtney B. Vance hears a common refrain from American Crime Story viewers who didn’t follow the 1990s double-murder trial of O.J. Simpson.

“It’s like: ‘This can’t be happening. They had to write this for television, right?’ ” says Vance, who plays charismatic defense attorney Johnnie Cochran in FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. The series airs its 90-minute finale Tuesday (10 p.m. ET/PT).

Even viewers familiar with the addictive real-life soap opera have been surprised by the back story.

“People are intrigued by the shenanigans between both sides, the drama going on with the Dream Team and with (prosecutors) Gil Garcetti, Marcia Clark and Chris Darden,” Vance says.

“The real drama was backstage in the offices.”

Jeffrey Toobin’s detailed book The Run of His Life: The People v.

O.J. Simpson provided gems for writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who expanded the story with their own research. “We were trying to startle the audience with stuff that nobody knows. That was our personal mandate,” Alexander says.

Some iconic moments, and more obscure details:

Cochran’s command to the jury — “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” — may be the trial’s most memorable line, but it was fellow defense attorney Robert Shapiro (John Travolta) who pushed Simpson (Cuba Gooding Jr.) to put on the gloves after trying them on himself during a bizarre evidence examination, according to the miniseries.

“There are multiple sources, including (Lawrence Schiller’s) American Tragedy, that say Shapiro tried it on,” Karaszewski says, adding that the multitude of post-trial books offer differing accounts of incidents. “It is backed up.”

On the courtroom TV feed, “you really saw just one dimension, to a state of parody. … Marcia was the woman who changed her haircut, Chris was the race traitor, Johnnie was the guy in the flashy suit you make fun of on Seinfeld,” Karaszewski says.

“We tried to give them back their humanity.”

juggled divorce and child custody proceedings with her trial duties; Cochran tried to tamp down controversy about his personal relationships; and, as Vance puts it, “bitter hatred” festered between colleagues Cochran and Shapiro.

The miniseries details an Oakland getaway by Clark and Darden, and it hints at a neverconsummated mutual attraction.

“In both of their books, they’re very coy about what happened,” Karaszewski says. “We took it as far as we could. They went to the line and didn’t cross it.”

DETECTIVE MARK FUHRMAN’S RACIST COMMENTS

Many consider the detective’s comments key to Simpson’s acquittal. Simpson shows defense lawyers traveling to North Carolina to get transcripts of damning comments he made to a screenwriter.

“One of our themes was this trial was the beginning of reality television and 24-hour celebrity infotainment,” Karaszewski says.

“One of the major pieces that comes forth is transcripts from a detective who wants to have a movie made.”

For all the craziness, Alexander says, Simpson connects with contemporary audiences “with a lot of big ideas about race in America, gender politics and how celebrities get treated differently.

There are a lot of ideas in there besides the fact that it’s the story of an acquittal after two innocent people were killed.”

‘Carpool Karaoke’ could be headed to a stand-alone series

GETTY IMAGES; FILMMAGIC

7B

James Corden may be hitching a ride on the newest late-night trend.

The Late Late Show host is shopping around a spinoff series of his popular “Carpool Karaoke” segment, in which the likes of Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey have hopped in his car and crooned tunes from their own and others’ catalogs. Combined, the viral clips have notched more than 500 million views on YouTube, spawning a “greatest hits” TV special, which aired last week, and the mostwatched late-night YouTube clip ever: his singalong with Adele, which has tallied 93 million views since January.

If picked up by a cable or streaming outlet with a new host, “Carpool” would become the third late-night bit to be spun off into its own show, joining Spike’s Lip Sync Battle (which started on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in 2013) and ABC’s upcoming Big Fan (an expansion of game show

“Who Knows?” from Jimmy Kimmel Live).

It’s no wonder networks see after-hours programming as a breeding ground for new ideas.

Says David Goldberg, an executive producer with Kimmel on Big Fan: “Some of the smartest and funniest material on television is on late-night, so it made sense to see if we could adapt some of these bits into longerform shows.”

Big Fan, which premieres later this year, originated in a 2014 Kimmel segment that pitted Katy Perry against a “superfan” to see who could answer more questions about the pop star’s life. The half-hour incarnation will be hosted by Andy Richter, with three fans competing against one

another. Each week’s celebrity guest will face off against the most successful contestant in the final round.

While Kimmel’s role is behind the scenes, Kim Kardashian already has signed on for an episode. Other famous faces include singers, actors and athletes, whose established fan bases are part of the appeal: “They bring an existing brand. It’s known and quantifiable,” Goldberg says. “The celebrities appearing have very big social exposure. You’re starting from Step 1 with tremendous awareness, and the success is exponential.”

The spinoffs also are multiplatform, playing well on both TV and the Web. Lip Sync Battle, which NBC turned down before it

went to Spike, drew its biggest audience yet with January’s Season 2 premiere, which starred Channing Tatum and his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum, with appearances by Beyoncé and Paula Abdul. The episode pulled in 4.7 million viewers after threeday delayed viewing, according to Nielsen, as well as 85,000 tweets that night and more than 30 million YouTube views.

“The audience has an expectation to see it on digital and be able to get it when they want to, but everybody is driven by the clips we release the week of the show to want to see it on (TV),” Spike president Kevin Kay says.

“In a lot of ways, they’re complementary.”

But as more celebrity-driven segments become stand-alone series, they could run the risk of oversaturation.

“How long will ‘Lip Sync’ remain an interesting segment on Fallon if you’re getting full episodes on Spike?” says Dave Campanelli, director of national TV at Horizon Media. “So far, these things have been home runs for the networks. If a concept does burn out, it will drive the shows to create more. Everyone involved sees these as positives.”

Struggling since spring has sprung Here’s how to conquer your allergies in Douglas County

‘T

is the season — to be sniffly, itchy, tearyeyed, wheezy, headachey, congested and generally unpleasant.

As lovely as springtime in Douglas County can be, it can also make life fairly miserable for those who suffer bad allergy symptoms. That’s because of pollens, the tiny airborne particles that pretty blooming trees and grasses produce.

Allergy season is upon us In this area, trees generally become a problem from March to May, followed by grasses from April through June or July. In the more moist, mild summers, such as last year’s, grass season can extend into the fall, according to information from Dr. Selina Gierer, allergy and immunology specialist at Kansas University Hospital.

Often there will be a break in pollen counts; then weeds start in August and run through Halloween or the first couple of hard freezes, whichever comes first, according to Gierer. And rain can help or hurt, depending on the storm.

“Rain can sometimes help drop the pollen out of the air for that day, but thunderstorms can actually bring the pollen back up into the air

WHAT’S THE ALLERGY FORECAST? The website Pollen.com provides a daily allergy report, so you can see how high the pollen counts are supposed to be in your area, as well as which allergens are most prevalent at any given time. (The five-day forecast shows that Lawrence is in for high pollen levels for the foreseeable future.) Elm, juniper and maple tend to be major offenders in this area. with all the electricity in the air,” Gierer said.

There is hope, though.

Firstly, Gierer said it is important to make sure you have a proper diagnosis. Allergists can test you to discover your personal triggers, which can help you understand your allergies and manage them better.

How to help yourself Once you know what you’re up against, one of the keys to surviving allergy season is prevention — through medication, as well as through certain lifestyle tweaks that can make life much more pleasant.

As an example, Gierer said, if a patient knows they will

experience symptoms when they mow the lawn, it’s better to take an as-needed allergy medication prior to mowing rather than trying to treat bad symptoms after they arise.

“If we have patients who are symptomatic all season long, we try to start them on daily preventive allergy medication prior to the onset of their bad seasons,” she said. “If they start allergy medication prior to the onset of their bad seasons, they will typically do better.”

Gierer also provided some tips for avoiding pollen exposure: l Keep windows closed, and use the air conditioner when possible.

Bert Nash helps inmates with mental illness reenter real world

By Jeff Burkhead Special to the Journal-World

When inmates with a history of mental illness are released from the Douglas County Jail, they don’t have to go back into the world without help.

Or without a plan.

The reentry program at the jail includes a staff

person from the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center who works with inmates who have mental health issues before they are released, so they are better prepared to transition back into society.

“It’s basically like case management,” explained Sharon Zehr, who over-

sees the Bert Nash team at the jail, as well as the center’s homeless outreach and hospital discharge teams. “We work closely with the rest of the jail reentry team to make sure those inmates have a plan for when they are released, like where

Cancer Center division gets $5M The Midwest Cancer Alliance, the outreach division of Kansas University’s Cancer Center, has received a $5 million gift from the Kansas Masons.

The permanent endowment announced last week will provide funds for outreach, professional education, staff development and membership support for the Midwest Cancer Alliance, a network of hospitals, cancer centers and research facilities. In recognition of the gift, the division will change its name to the Masonic Cancer Alliance. In addition to the $5 million gift, the Kansas Masonic Foundation has donated more than $25 million over the years in support of KU Cancer Center.

“The Kansas Masons have stepped up, once again, to support the advances in cancer research and education that are critical components of our quest for Comprehensive Cancer Center designation with NCI,” said Roy Jensen, KU Cancer Center director and CEO of MCA. The MCA celebrated the announcement at its annual meeting April 1 in Overland Park, where member professionals from across the region gathered to network and share the latest information on oncology research and treatment.

KU Hospital inks mental health deal Kansas University Hospital is partnering with a Kansas City nonprofit to improve access to short-term mental health inpatient services in Wyandotte County, according to a news release.

Adult psychiatric beds at KVC Prairie Ridge Hospital, 4300 Brenner Drive in Kansas City, Kan., will become part of the KU Hospital, and the unit will be called the University of Kansas Hospital Adult Services at KVC Prairie Ridge.

“This is the first step in a longer-term vision for psychiatric services for adults in Wyandotte County,” said Bob Page, president and CEO of KU Hospital.

KVC’s child and adolescent psychiatric treatment will continue separate from the partnership, according to the release.

KVC’s hospitals have served as a teaching site for the psychiatry department of KU Medical Center for 10 years, according to the release.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C l Avoid going outside

early in the mornings, when pollen counts are at their highest. l Take a shower and wash your hair each night. l When completing yard work, consider wearing a mask. l Clean your furnace filter monthly with HEPA filters, and try vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner, which can prevent pollen from being reintroduced into the air.

Unfortunately, there are also year-round allergens, such as dust mites, cockroaches, molds and animal danders, Gierer said. Some additional general tips to deal with those include: l Consider using allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses. l Wash bedding every week or two in hot water — at least 130 F — in order to kill dust mites. l Wash pets in warm water once a week — “pets” meaning anything with fur or feathers. l Keep moisture at bay indoors using a dehumidifier; avoid steam-cleaning carpets and get rid of any moldy belongings. l Keep potted plants outdoors. l Exterminate your entire home and seal all cracks; then thoroughly clean, including vacuuming (preferably with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner). l Don’t store paper bags and cardboard boxes. l Avoid curtains, carpeting and upholstered furniture. l Take a minimalist approach — steer clear of any kind of clutter that can collect dust, particularly in the bedroom.

to the cause by turning the fountain water green at 12:30 p.m. on the same day.

Additionally, Midwest Transplant Network and Saving Sight will host an informational booth from noon to 2 p.m. that day outside the LMH cafeteria to answer questions about donation.

“We would love to have lots of folks from our community join us at all events,” Swisher said.

Rob Linderer, CEO of Midwest Transplant Network, said: “This month serves, not only to honor the lives of those who have given and received, it is also an opportunity to renew our commitment to saving lives, and increase awareness for the gift of organ and tissue donation.”

Here are some facts to consider: l 124,000 people currently are waiting for a life-saving organ in the United States. l Every 10 minutes another name is added to the national waiting list. l An average of 21 people die each day because of a lack of available organs for transplant.

Because of eight tissue donors and 28 cornea donors at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in 2015, more than 456 lives were touched. An organ donation can save up to eight lives; tissue dona-

How can you tell the differences between them without a medical degree?

Although it is important to talk to your doctor about what medications are right for you, Gierer shed some light on what the drugs are and what they do. l Oral antihistamines, Gierer said, include active ingredients such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine, fexofenadine, loratadine and others. They block histamine (a chemical that our bodies release, generally in response to stress or allergens) in your system from causing allergy symptoms driven by exposure to an allergen to which you are sensitive. Gierer said these are mostly available over the counter and can be used daily for prevention or as needed to treat symptoms, and they should work the day you use them. l Diphenhydramine — the active ingredient in some over-the-counter oral antihistamines, such as Benadryl — doesn’t last as long and causes sleepiness, Gierer said, so allergists generally recommend medications containing the

other ingredients listed above. They generally last 24 hours and cause less sleepiness. l Nasal steroids, available over the counter in products such as Flonase, Nasacort and Rhinocort, help decrease inflammation in the nose to help improve congestion and decrease mucous production, Gierer said.

“They are probably our most effective medication to treat allergies, but they are not tolerated well by every patient and should be used consistently to have optimal efficacy,” Gierer said. “We do recommend if patients are using nasal steroids they should be monitored by a physician as they can have side effects that are not limited to nose bleeds and septal perforation.”

These medications are ideal because they target the nose topically, Gierer said, and may also help with eye symptoms. However, they typically take several days to weeks to reach their optimal effect. There are other nasal steroids that are available by prescription if other options aren’t working. l Nasal antihistamine sprays are available by prescription only, Gierer said, but are also very effective at treating nose and eye symptoms of itching and drainage. They

should work the day you use them and can be used on an as-needed basis. l Ocular anti-inflammatory eye drops are available over the counter, Gierer said.

The active ingredient, ketotifen, is found in brands such as Zyrtec, Zaditor and Alaway, and can help with all allergy eye symptoms on a daily preventive or as-needed basis. l Ocular antihistamines are only available by prescription, Gierer said, but can help treat eye watering, redness and itching. They can be used as needed and should work the day you use them.

Where to stock up?

Gierer said she recommends patients try to buy over-thecounter allergy medications at wholesale clubs, such as Costco or Sam’s Club, because they sell them at much cheaper prices. The nearest Costco stores to Lawrence are in Lenexa and Overland Park. The nearest Sam’s Clubs are located in Kansas City, Kan., Lenexa, Overland Park and Topeka.

However, most local stores with pharmaceutical aisles carry most of the over-the-counter options listed.

they are going to be living, and to provide mental health treatment as well as reentry services.”

Housing can be a challenge for inmates who have a history of homelessness. The reentry program has collaborated with the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority to provide a limited number of vouchers to assist reentry participants with subsidized housing. Affordable housing is key to success of the program, but more resources are needed.

Once an inmate has reentered the community, the reentry team will provide supportive assistance for up to six months, after which the inmate can be released to regular Bert Nash case management.

In addition, thanks to a grant, Bert Nash added two mental health clinicians to conduct initial assessments on people reporting mental health needs at booking, focusing on women, veterans and those with a trauma history. The goal of the program is to provide post-booking diversion treatment options as an alternative to being in jail.

A plan has been proposed to build a crisis center on the site of the former VFW building on Second Street, north of the Bert Nash Center. The proposed crisis intervention center would provide treatment options for those with mental illness.

It is believed that early intervention of a mental health crisis will decrease the number of people eventually arrested for crimes related to mental health symptoms.

“The idea is to try to keep people treated in the community and having crisis services here,” Zehr said. “If someone is having a mental health crisis, they need to be someplace where they are not only being watched but they are also receiving treatment. This proposal would provide crisis stabilization, where a person could stay up to seven or 14 days, depending on what the needs were. The hope is that a crisis center would be a place to outreach people to sooner, so they don’t end up at the

state hospital or at the jail.”

As the Bert Nash liaison to Osawatomie State Hospital, Zehr regularly sees some of the same people coming through the jail.

Because of shortages of beds at Osawatomie State Hospital, there are limited options of where to send people who are having a mental health crisis, and for how long. That’s where the Bert Nash discharge team comes in. They work with people who are transitioning from the state hospital back into the community.

“Because of the lack of bed space at the state hospital, people aren’t staying as long as they used to, and a lot of times when they come out they’re really not stable,” Zehr said. “They may not be a harm to themselves or others, but they still may be symptomatic. Part of the discharge team’s role is to make sure that mental health services are wrapped around those who are returning to the community, making sure they get their medications filled, making sure that continuum of care is still there, and getting them engaged with services.”

Ken Brouhard, 34, is an example of someone who has benefited from the reentry program. But it wasn’t easy. He has a long history of run-ins with the law and mental illness.

“Ever since I was growing up, I’ve had a lot of struggles in my life. I’ve been dealing with mental health issues for a long time,” said Brouhard, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Speaking recently as part of a consumer panel during crisis intervention training for members of the Lawrence Police Department, Brouhard talked about how the support he received through the reentry program, with help from Bert Nash, had put his life on a new course.

“I used to self-medicate and I would get more and more suicidal,” Brouhard said. “If it wasn’t for the reentry program and Bert Nash and learning how to cope with things and learning new skills, I probably wouldn’t be here.

Especially this last year and a half, I’ve had a lot of people be there and be supportive, and then I actually learned I have to do it for myself.”

Dear Annie: I always had an exaggerated response to alcohol and could never have just one drink. The first time I ever tried drinking was when I was 14 years old, and I got drunk. I wasn’t a heavy drinker right away, though. I would drink on weekends and otherwise led a “normal” life through my teens and 20s.

However, when I was in my early 30s, I found myself in a highpressure professional job, living alone in a big city. My life appeared to be great, but I was completely miserable.

On weekends, I would start drinking at 4 p.m. and would continue until I passed out or fell asleep.

Finally, I decided to end my life. Fortunately, my suicide attempt did not pan out and I went for help. I

was sent to a state psychiatric facility for six months. While there, I finally admitted to myself that I had a problem with alcohol. For years, I thought that once I got my mental health issues straightened out, I could drink alcohol safely. But I learned that alcohol was also causing a lot of my problems.

With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, I got the support I needed and have been sober for 12 years. I am now

O “The Secrets of Saint John Paul” (8 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings) explores the decades-long friendship and extensive, deeply personal correspondence between the priest, archbishop, cardinal and eventual pope and Polish-American scholar and philosopher Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka.

A married woman, she and the man born Karol Wojtyla shared countless confidences and visited each other and vacationed together in both Poland and America. They were collaborating on a revised translation of an earlier book by Wojtyla when he ascended to the papacy in 1978.

Vatican insiders were worried. Aside from the risk of gossip and scandal, there was the prospect of a married American woman claiming to be an intimate friend of the pope as well as his colleague, equal, mentor and influence.

Critics of Pope John Paul II’s efforts to resist calls for female ordination found his relationship with a woman who was his intellectual soul mate to be, at best, paradoxical.

“Secrets” avoids the salacious. Experts cited here seem pretty certain that Wojtyla never strayed beyond his vows of celibacy. One calls their relationship a “chaste passion.”

In the precipitous efforts to turn Pope John Paul II into a saint, his friendship with Tymieniecka was all but written out of official history. “Secrets” sheds new light on a historical figure who was cast in marble before he was fully known and appreciated as a human being.

Annie, this woman is severely depressed or she has some kind of medical condition. It’s common for depressed people to expect others to behave the same way so they can “see how it feels.” They can’t always figure out what’s wrong with them, and they’re tired of being misunderstood.

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

My KU draft order Pretend you’re an NBA general manager holding a pick late in the first round.

You have a balanced roster with no one glaring position need. For the sake of argument, you can only choose from players on the 2015-16 Kansas University basketball roster.

Your choice?

Based on mock drafts, the Kansas prospect with the best chance, and not a great one at that, of going in the first round is Cheick Diallo.

If I’m going to guarantee roughly $2 million over a two-year period to a prospect, I would look elsewhere on the KU roster.

Namely, I would spend the pick and the money on Perry Ellis, the most skilled, proven basketball player, even if he did get shut down by eventual national champion Villanova. Didn’t everybody?

True, Ellis is not as freakishly athletic as most NBA small forwards, and there is no changing that.

But he’s about average for an NBA small forward in terms of height (6-foot-8) and wingspan (6-10), has a soft shooting touch, a good handle, decent quickness, excellent speed and a terrific feel for the game, particularly as a clever scorer.

Succeeding in the NBA presents a challenge for Ellis because at times he’ll have to defend and be defended by longer players just as quick or quicker.

His high basketball IQ will enable him to make the necessary adjustments.

Diallo, so quick, fast and active for a power forward, even by NBA standards, has a higher ceiling and a 7-4 reach, but he showed so little in the way of a feel for the game during his freshman season at Kansas that it requires a huge leap of faith to believe he’ll develop a strong feel for the game. So many raw talents never find it. He showed a soft shooting touch, but it’s worth wondering at this stage whether he’ll ever develop a feel for passing, positioning, footwork at both ends, understanding where he’s supposed to be and knowing the smartest path to get there.

Plus, Diallo will need to fill out in order to withstand the pounding he’ll take from stronger NBA players, especially early in his career. If he stays in the draft and is so impatient as to not stay in college to learn the game, I would have concerns about whether he could exercise the necessary patience to be able to overcome his shortcomings without growing discouraged and permanently ruining his confidence.

Ellis’ quiet nature won’t hurt him in interviews with NBA teams because he has a four-year body of work that does the talking for him. He doesn’t have to try to convince general managers that he’ll work hard at his game.

They already know that by tracking his yearly improvement playing for a demanding college coach.

VILLANOVA’S PHIL BOOTH (5) CELEBRATES AFTER THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME against North Carolina on Monday in Houston. Villanova won 77-74 to claim its second national championship.

’Nova’s Jenkins beats Heels at buzzer Houston (ap) — One good shot deserved another.

Kris Jenkins of Villanova wasn’t about to be outdone.

Jenkins overcame the shock of watching North Carolina’s Marcus Paige hit a double-clutch three to tie it by spotting up behind the right side of the arc and draining a three of his own at the buzzer to lift Villanova to a 77-74 victory and the national championship Monday night.

What a shot.

What a game.

The second-seeded Wildcats (35-5) had a six-point lead with 1:52 left, but watched it slowly trickle away. Then, it was gone. Paige collected the ball and jumped to take the shot. With Ryan Arcidiacono running at him, Paige double clutched and pumped one from beyond the arc to tie the game at 74 with 4.7 seconds left.

After a timeout, Arcidiacono took the inbound pass from Jenkins, worked the ball upcourt and got it back to the junior guard. Jenkins took two quick stutter steps, and, with daylight between himself and the defender, swished it from about two paces behind the three-point line.

“Kris told him he was going to be open, Arch made the perfect pass,” Villanova coach Jay Wright explained.

“Kris lives for that moment.”

Jenkins’ range is anywhere in the gym, as he showed earlier in the tournament by nonchalantly draining a shot from the edge of the midcourt logo.

When this one went up, he never had a doubt.

“I think every shot’s going in,” he said, “and this one was no different.”

He finished with 14 points — the last three as memo-

rable as any that have been scored in the history of this tournament.

After being thrown to the floor by his teammates, he got up, leaped over press row, hugged his birth mom — a college basketball coach who helped him hone his shot — and shouted, “They said we couldn’t, they said we couldn’t, they said we couldn’t.”

Oh, yes, they could.

This adds to the other title Villanova won in 1985, when Rollie Massimino, who was on hand Monday night, coaxed a miracle out of his eighth-seeded underdogs for a victory over star-studded Georgetown.

Hard to top this one, though.

Jenkins, who was adopted by the family of North Carolina guard Nate Britt when his mother moved to take a coaching job, now has a spot

with Keith Smart, Lorenzo Charles, Christian Laettner and anyone else who ever made a late game-winner to win a big one in March Madness.

Paige finished with 21, and Joel Berry II had 20 for the Heels (33-7), the only No. 1 seed to make the Final Four, who came one agonizing shot short of giving coach Roy Williams his third national title.

Not surprisingly, the tears flowed from the 65-year-old coach who, some speculate, could have worked his last game on the sideline; the entire sports program at Chapel Hill is under NCAA scrutiny and awaiting possible penalties for a long-running academic-fraud case.

“I’m not very good because I can’t take away the hurt,” Williams said. “I told them Please see VILLANOVA, page 5D

Kansas City, Mo. — No sane Mets fan is in a panic after one loss to the defending World Series champion Royals, a 4-3 contest Sunday night that ended with the tying run at third base and all of Kansas City pondering a burnt end.

It would be an insult to your baseball intelligence to even point out that it is a long, long season and that somehow in the past, teams have recovered from losing the first of 162.

Teams such as the 1998 Yankees, who started 0-3 and were 1-4 after an 8-0 loss to the Mariners. They went 124-46 thereafter.

Or the 1969 Mets, who lost their opener, then were 2-5 and 3-7.

And many other championship teams that I am too tired to google after a late night at the ballyard.

Still, though …

The Opening Night stumble, in which the Mets helpfully handed writers convenient comparisons to last year’s World Series, was a cold slap in the face that reminded everyone that baseball is played on grass and not in season preview stories.

Might as well start right at home: Of Newsday’s six baseball prognosticators, five picked the Mets to win the National League East, four to win the pennant and three to win the World Series.

None of which I would bet against if Mrs. Best allowed me to gamble the college fund on sports events.

But that’s baseball, Suzyn, and stuff happens in a sport of ceaseless ups and downs, and in which teams that lose 50 times in the regular season are considered among the all-time greats.

You know, stuff such as the prized reacquisition of the offseason, Yoenis Cespedes, dropping a fly ball in the first inning, leading to an unearned run, then grudgingly giving reporters terse answers in Spanish that barely needed translation.

And Matt Harvey being merely adequate. And David Wright looking much closer to his number retirement ceremony than his prime.

And the pesky Royals doing their thing again, making the Mets and their fans give thanks that after today they are out of their hair until late June at Citi Field.

The Yankees can deal with them in May. Good luck with that!

So, there are legitimate concerns, as there are for every team. Those concerns are the same on Monday morning as they were on Sunday afternoon.

The Mets could crash or they could soar, but given their talent they most likely will spend the next several months hovering among the National League contenders, then try to get on a timely roll like they did last year.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. There will be many exciting nights ahead, perhaps starting here Tuesday when the Mets send — ho, hum — another young, supremely talented pitcher to the mound in Noah Syndergaard.

Mr. Syndergaard and the Royals have a bit of a recent history. Could be fun! And the Mets could well win, which would make them 1-1.

Just like last year!

The last time they started 2-0 was in 2013. They finished 74-88.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE-LINE COACH MICHAEL SLATER WORKS with junior defensive tackle Jacky Dezair on Tuesday.

New D-line coach calls KU ‘dream job’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

First-year Kansas University defensive-line coach Michael Slater was only at Rice for one season when KU head coach David Beaty was calling the offense there, but that was long enough for him to waste no time saying, ‘Yes,’ when Beaty offered him a job at Kansas this offseason.

Slater, who replaced Oklahoma-bound Calvin Thibodeaux on Beaty’s first staff at Kansas, called landing with the Jayhawks a “dream job” and said Beaty’s philosophy on building a program and handling his coaches made the decision to leave Rice for Kansas even easier.

“My feet haven’t quite touched the ground yet,” Slater joked. “But things are starting to settle down a bit. I’m really excited about working for him, just knowing him as a person and what type of guy he is.”

In 2010, Slater was in his final season as a graduate assistant at Rice, and Beaty was the Owls’ offensive coor-

dinator. Although the relationship between the OC and a defensive GA might not seem that crucial, Slater said staff outings and the all-forone-and-one-for-all culture established by Rice coach David Bailiff made for an easy connection. He feels the same thing at Kansas.

“With him being the leader, you don’t doubt that, if there is staff turnover, the person that he’s gonna bring in is gonna be someone that’s gonna fit in and be just like the guys that are on his staff,” Slater said of Beaty.

Slater believes so much in Beaty’s ability that he chose to jump on board despite having to leave his 16-year-old son, Kyle, back home in Houston.

“I’ve made a commitment to be here for as long as (they’ll) have me,” Slater said.

As for the early stages of his time working with the KU D-line, Slater said he was pleased with the effort put in by the players and was going through the feeling-out process to learn what

buttons to push with which players.

“You gotta do it all,” Slater said. “And everything doesn’t work for every person. You gotta find out what motivates a young man. For some guys, being with the 2’s motivates them. For other guys, chewing ’em out motivates ’em. And, with some guys, you can’t chew them out or they’ll go in a shell.”

Regardless of which style works with which players, Slater said the overall message of KU football as a hard-working, hungry underdog was familiar to him.

And it’s that mindset, he said, that kept him from losing sleep over the challenge of trying to slow down these dynamic Big 12 offenses.

“I’m real confident in the guys that we’ve got, and (we faced) a lot of those teams when I was at Rice, and we did a good job of defending them then,” Slater said. “We were always the underdog, and I was always taught not to be scared of pretty much anything. And I take joy in having that as an extra challenge.”

Friends and teammates of former Kansas University running back Brandon Bourbon (2010-14) have become concerned about Bourbon’s safety after attempts to reach his phone for the past two-plus days have been unsuccessful.

A missing-persons report was filed with the Missouri State Highway Patrol. As of 11 p.m. Monday, Bourbon had not been heard from since 7:30 p.m. on April 2.

The former four-star prospect from Potosi, Mo., who came to Kansas after initially committing to Stanford, suffered through an injury-plagued five-year run at KU and finished his career at Washburn University in Topeka.

During a mid-February phone interview with the Journal-World, Bourbon sounded like his usual full-of-life self and expressed excitement about plans to start up a training business for young athletes in and around his hometown, similar to the one former KU running back Jake Sharp has started in Salina.

Several friends, family members and former teammates took to social media Monday to help locate Bourbon.

Oakland Raiders linebacker Ben Heeney sent out a handful of Tweets.

Former KU wide receiver Josh Ford posted a message on Facebook that was shared by dozens of former Jayhawks. And Bourbon’s mother, Janet, posted the following on her personal Facebook account: “Looking for my son Brandon K. Bourbon. He’s not been heard from by anyone who knows him since Saturday evening.

There is some incorrect information on Facebook that he was active a few hours ago. That (he) was on his computer. Please keep an eye out for him!”

Anyone with information on Bourbon is asked to contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 573-438-5478.

NBAdraft.net said that Ellis fits “into the tweener mold. Not quite big enough to be an ideal power forward in the NBA, and there are questions as to whether he is athletic enough to play NBA small forwards.”

Fair question, but also similar language that the same website used in listing the weaknesses of Michigan State’s Draymond Green, who lasted until the 35th pick of the 2012 draft and was

an All-Star this season: “Tweener, undersized for a physical forward, yet lacks the athleticism of a wing.”

That’s not to say Ellis projects as the next Green, who has longer arms, is stronger, a better natural rebounder and passer than Ellis. But Green does serve as a nice reminder that sometimes it pays for NBA teams to realize that one reason seasoned college players figure out how to compete in the NBA is that the same basketball brain that enabled them to develop polished college games travels well to the professional ranks.

Nationals 4, Braves 3, 10 innings Atlanta — Daniel Murphy was a huge hit in his Washington debut, with a home run and a goahead double in the 10th inning, and the Nationals rallied past Atlanta in their season opener.

NL MVP Bryce Harper homered in his first plate appearance of the season, and the Nationals made a winner of Dusty Baker in his first game as their manager.

Washington tied it in the ninth on Michael Taylor’s sacrifice fly to shallow center field. Atlanta nearly escaped with a game-ending double play, but Jayson Werth scored when catcher A.J. Pierzynski dropped Ender Inciarte’s accurate throw that beat Werth to the plate.

Murphy’s one-out double off Eric O’Flaherty (01) drove in Ryan Zimmerman from second base.

Zimmerman reached on a two-base throwing error by second baseman Gordon Beckham.

UConn shoots for 4 straight

NORTH CAROLINA GUARD JOEL BERRY II (2) HEADS TO THE HOOP against Villanova during the first half of the NCAA championship game Monday in Houston.

I loved them. I told them I wish I could have helped them more.”

His thought when he saw the last shot fly: “It was helpless. It was not a good feeling.”

Even MJ felt the pain.

In the stands with the thousands of Carolina Blue-wearing fans, Michael Jordan simply nodded, smiled, looked at his buddy Ahmad Rashad and said, “Good shot, good shot.”

High praise from the Great One. And what a night for Villanova — a team full of scrappers, grinders and also-rans, who proved you don’t have to have a roster full of NBA-bound oneand-doners to win a title.

’Nova to lose in the first round than to win the whole thing. This team flamed out early in the last two tournaments despite big expectations.

Not this time.

Before Jenkins did his thing, it was unheralded sophomore Phil Booth — who isn’t unheralded on that Villanova squad? — pouring in a career high

20 points to give the Cats their late six-point lead.

Booth’s forced turnaround jumper with the shot-clock blaring to give ’Nova a 69-64 lead at the 3:03 mark. With 1:52 left, a free throw from Josh Hart pushed the lead to six.

But Carolina never quits. Paige sandwiched a three-pointer and a putback around a bucket from Brice Johnson (14 points, eight rebounds) to help the Tar Heels stay within striking range.

Then, he tied the game and the Carolina fans went wild.

It looked like overtime.

Only, it wasn’t.

“Every kid dreams about that shot,” said Arcidiacono, who finished with 16 points and two assists, one more memorable than the other. “I wanted that shot, but I just had confidence in my teammates, and Kris was able to knock down that shot.”

Perfect 10 UConn is 10 for 10 in title games.

“I think at this time of the year your confidence level and your ability

have to mesh,” Auriemma said. “There’s teams maybe that come here with a lot more confidence than ability and it catches up to you or a lot more ability than they have confidence. So when those two things mesh, I think you have a pretty unbeatable combination.”

Auriemma also said that it helped having players like Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and Stewart.

“Three people are directly responsible for eight of them,” he said. “So when you’ve got those three in your lineup, Stewie, Dee, and Maya, at this time of the year, generally speaking, if you have the best player on the floor, good things can happen.”

Shooting stars Syracuse has been stellar in the tournament from behind the threepoint line. The Orange have made 48 threepointers so far in the NCAAs, averaging nearly 10 a game — up one from the regular season.

They are also making 33.6 percent from behind the arc, up 4 percent from the regular season.

“Our goal is to make 10 threes a game,” Hillsman said. “If it takes 40 to make 10, it’s 40. If it takes 50, it’s 50.”

Sidelined Husky UConn will be without freshman Katie Lou Samuelson, who broke her foot in the semifinal win over Oregon State.

“It’s definitely tough,” she said. “I’ve been working so hard this season.

It’s kind of a bummer that it’s got to end this way, but I know my team is going to be out there and just play as hard as they can and I know they can do it.”

BRIEFLY Roberts, Piper named all-state

Indianapolis — Breanna Stewart came to UConn with the lofty goal of winning four national championships and the Huskies are now just one victory away from history.

They will play former Big East foe Syracuse tonight with a chance to become the first women’s team to win four straight Div. I titles.

Only UCLA, with seven in a row from 1967-73, has done it on the men’s side, and a UConn victory would give coach Geno Auriemma 11 national championships — one more than Bruins coach John Wooden for the most ever in the history of college basketball.

While Stewart didn’t guarantee four titles when she was a freshman, she did promise a victory against Syracuse.

“I’m not going to go and say that we’re going to lose,” Stewart said after the Huskies beat Oregon State in the Final Four. “To end my college career, to end it with the other seniors, there is no other way that I want that to happen.”

Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman wasn’t planning on using the comments as extra motivation for his team.

“I don’t think she knew who she was playing yet,” he said, laughing. “So what is she supposed to say? I told our fans and our crowd that we’re going to win, too.”

Auriemma shrugged it off.

“Having said it and now being on the verge of being able to do it, those are amazing things that it’s like a storybook,” Auriemma said. “You have

to admire her. She’s got a lot of guts, Stewie does.

And you know what we talk about on our team a lot is courage. And it takes a lot of courage sometimes to say certain things and to be able to do certain things.”

Stewart and her fellow UConn seniors have won 74 straight games and have never lost in the NCAA Tournament, going 23-0. To win the title, Stewart and the Huskies will have to beat her hometown team.

“It definitely feels like it’s coming full circle,” Stewart said. “From my freshman year, when we played in the Big East, we played against Syracuse. Following that, there was no Big East, so we obviously didn’t get to play them and now having an opportunity to finish it off against them.”

The former Big East foes met at least once a season before the Orange went to the Atlantic Coast Conference after the 2013 season. The Orange have lost their last 23 meetings against UConn, a skid that dates to 1996.

“I’ve been on every possible end of the spectrum of a UConn game, on a regular-season game, in a Big East Tournament game, on senior night at their place,” Hillsman said. “I think teams get overwhelmed with their speed and quickness and their strength. It is an overwhelming thing because they’re very good, but at least we understand that because we’ve seen it and we’ve experienced it.”
