House pushes budget vote into early morning Rejection of ‘step therapy’ bill slows progress

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The Kansas House on Sunday delayed voting on a proposed budget aimed at closing the state’s projected $290

million budget gap after another bill that was critical to making the budget work failed to win a majority.

The House was planning to work past midnight and into early this

morning to resolve the issue and try to pass the budget-balancing plan.

On Sunday evening, the House rejected a bill that would have allowed the state Medicaid program to impose “step therapy”

Visit LJWorld.com for the latest news out of the Kansas Legislature rules for patients who are prescribed expensive medications, including certain classes of antipsychotic medication.

Under that rule, most patients would be required to start with lessexpensive, generic drugs before they could step up to more expensive drugs.

Mental health advocates and the pharmaceutical industry strongly opposed such

a measure. But officials estimated it would save the state $10 million a year in Medicaid pharmaceutical costs, and that savings was built into the proposed budget.

Meet the beetle hunter City open KU entomologist on quest to police to identify insects of Peru policy changes

By Sara Shepherd

Twitter: @saramarieshep

Caroline Chaboo clutches a small jar of what appears to be slimy, brownish-yellowish-blackish sludge, with a label indicating it’s from somewhere in Peru.

She unscrews the lid, dumps its contents into a tray.

Still slimy, brownish-yellowish-blackish sludge. Now smelling

faintly of sterile alcohol.

She pokes into it with a pair of tweezers.

It’s nondescript sludge no more. One by one, entire insects emerge between the tips of her tweezers. A longhorn beetle, a tiny wasp, a bigger wasp, an ant, another beetle — a “really pretty” one with stripes resembling a bumblebee on its back.

“So,” Chaboo says, “this is how we start.”

Woman battling Alzheimer’s goes for one last ride

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket with a patch reading “Lady Rider” and a do-rag with flames and skull, 77-yearold Betsy Walters took her final ride on a motorcycle Sunday.

Her son Josh Walters wouldn’t even hazard a guess at how many motorcycle rides his mother had taken in her life or even how many years she rode.

“Motorcycles were a

big part of her life for 15 to 20 years — if not longer,” Josh said, explaining that by motorcycles he meant “nothing else” but Harley-Davidsons.

For the past two years, his mother has been a patient fighting advanced Alzheimer’s disease at the memory care center of Brandon Woods complex, Josh said. A short ride in a sidecar was a wish on his mother’s bucket list.

Most police departments give officers discretion in determining whether to write a ticket SUNDAY CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR MAY 1 or give a violator a warning, such as in traffic cases or other municipal infractions. Where departments differ, though, is whether officers — sometimes days after the fact — have the discretion to cancel a ticket after it already has been issued.

In agreement with Markus, City Commissioner Matthew Herbert said officers should absolutely be afforded some discretion within their position.

Herbert added that policy changes, in whatever form they might come, may not be an effective deterrent for favoritism within the police department.

NY TIMES CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR MAY 1 “Ultimately we can craft all the policy in the L A R D A O K S A S H S P L A S H world, but so long as ofO V E R R I P E A M I N O O R A L L Y ficer discretion exists, C A S U A L T Y F R I D A Y R A N S O M which it should, you’re A T O N C E S L I D P A T T Y D O W N never going to have a soT A L K E R S A L G A H E S lution,” Herbert said.

E R E O E D S E N A M O R J O I N City Commissioner P A N T Y H A N D L E R R E P R O Lisa Larsen and Mayor H A L E R H A I L S A D H A T P I N Mike Amyx both said ofI C E T E A D E L L R I S O T T O S ficers should maintain R E N T A L S S O A R C O V E Y S the ability to void tickets E D G Y B A T T Y M O B I L E L I Z A so long as the process has T R A U M A S E T I O R B I T E R some oversight.

C H O W M E I N R A M P S A N E S T The Journal-World P I E C E S P E A R O L O B E S T S review did find that citaB A N K S R E A L T Y N U M B E R tions were being voided J O S S W E I R D O T S A R C A M without proper superviD A B A R C H R I P T I D E sor approval.

for years. The citations were voided, even though the void dismissal forms had not been approved by a police supervisor as required by department policy. The review also found that in more than 100 instances, police officers filled out the wrong forms, creating questions about whether proper approvals had been granted.

In response to the review, the police department said that it will now conduct an annual audit of the void and dismissal process, that it has created new forms to eliminate confusion, and that it has implemented new training with officers.

Review board Another possible change that might benefit both the Lawrence Police Department and city residents as a whole could be a type of citizen oversight board, Markus said.

Before coming to Lawrence, Markus served for five years as city manager of Iowa City, Iowa, where the police department has the Citizen Police Review Board, or CPRB. That board’s purpose is to review complaints filed against the police department, offering area residents an additional outlet for complaints if they don’t feel comfortable filing a complaint within the department itself.

The board’s existence helps to eliminate concerns about police investigating themselves, Markus said.

The Lawrence Police Department currently has a state-mandated board called the Citizens’ Advisory Board for Fair and Impartial Policing. Amyx This board is specifically meant to address instances of racial profiling.

No other group exists to provide citizen oversight for the department. However, Markus said the creation of a new board, similar to the CPRB in Iowa City, might be worthwhile.

“I think it has value, and to that extent I think there is merit for us to consider it,” he said. “I like to be ahead of problems, and I like for our department to be progressive in their own nature in terms of how we interact with our community.”

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib was not available for an interview seeking comment for this story.

Other Kansas towns like Manhattan, Topeka and Olathe have citizen review boards allowing area residents to submit complaints about their departments. However, those boards are also involved in scrutinizing police policies and activities.

Matthew Droge, public information officer for the Riley County Police Department in Manhattan, said his department has had a Community Advisory Board, or CAB, for several years.

Along with allowing citizens an additional outlet for complaints and looking at matters of policy, the CAB acts as a liaison between the department and the community, Droge said.

Topeka Police Lt. Colleen Stuart said Topeka’s department has had a Chief’s Advisory Board for around 10 years.

Recently, Topeka

Putting My House in Order

L awrence J ournal -W orld Police Chief James Brown began reviewing and updating the department’s use of force policy and he contacted his advisory board to have a hand in developing the new rules, Stuart said.

Both Stuart and Droge said their respective boards are an asset to their departments.

“You kind of have to have input from the community,” Droge said.

“Otherwise you’re just guessing.”

“Sometimes we get so focused in on our job that we may forget how a certain policy or how a certain procedure may affect or be perceived by the community,” Stuart said. “So it’s always nice to have that partnership so they can keep us grounded.”

Markus said that while he might support the creation of a citizen board to review complaints filed against the police department, with the city’s current form of government and its built-in checks and balances, he doesn’t believe the city needs a board to specifically address the department’s policies and practices.

“The elected officials hire me, and the police chief is a direct report to the city manager,” he said. “So it isn’t just the police chief that monitors and looks at those issues. The manager does as well.”

When asked whether the city should consider creating a board of citizens to review police department policies and activities, Amyx said he believes the “Lawrence City Commission is supposed to be that board, and I take that very seriously.”

However, when asked earlier about recent changes in the department’s ticket voiding policies, Amyx said he couldn’t speak in depth on the issue because it wasn’t something he was overly familiar with.

Other Lawrence city commissioners responded in kind when asked similar questions.

“I’m not familiar with the changes they’ve made, so I wouldn’t really know whether those are better than before,” said Herbert.

“I don’t really know a lot about that stuff in general. It’s something I’ll have to look into, I guess,” said Commissioner Leslie Soden.

Larsen also said she was not very familiar with recent changes within the department, and Commissioner Stuart Boley did not respond to multiple requests seeking comment for this story.

Both Herbert and Soden said they would be open to the idea of creating a citizen review board if that’s what the community asks for.

Before he fully backs the creation of a new board, however, Herbert said he would need to know more about what its role would be and that he would be more supportive of a board that would discuss how specific ordinances would be enforced within the city.

Soden said expanding the responsibilities of the existing board may also be an option.

into cloud forests, which merge into grasslands around the tree line and eventually into rock at the highest altitude. Each layer is home to different beetles with different characteristics — for example, she said, the high-altitude beetles are usually flightless, probably evolved that way to conserve energy in the colder climate.

Chaboo first fell in love with insects on the southern Caribbean island of Trinidad, where she grew up.

She had a “weird hobby” of collecting, observing and cataloging things from nature, she said ­— trees, ferns, birds, frogs.

There was even an orchid phase in high school.

While an undergraduate college student in Trinidad, she joined a group of American entomologists on a nighttime field trip, during which they used a light trap to collect specimens. Insects were flying all around, she said, swarming to the trap

Chaboo is trying to get some of her work and love for beetles outside of the lab and science journals.

“It’s very easy in my field to be kind of cloistered in a museum,” she said.

Taking KU undergrads on expeditions to Peru and other Central American countries has been one of the best parts of her job, Chaboo said.

Inspired in part by her 7-year-old daughter, Chaboo has also gotten some Lawrence youngsters and high school students involved.

At Raintree Montessori School, which her daughter attends, she provided information for art enrichment teacher Cindy Sears to lead students ages 6 through 10 in creating and curating their own exhibit on display throughout the school called “Facing up to Beetles.”

“They are now learning as much as they can about the insects so they can give tours to visitors,” school co-founder Lleanna McReynolds said.

At Bishop Seabury Academy, Chaboo enlisted Latin teacher Amy Meyers and her ninthgrade students for help on another project.

She shared with them submissions from an international beetle-naming competition, with the charge of weeding out those that were not grammatically correct Latin.

“It seems that most would not think that consulting a Latinist would be necessary, but Caroline believed it was important, and I agreed,” Meyers said.

“It was a good lesson for (the students) in terms of agreement patterns in Latin, but also for them to understand that Latin has many uses in the modern world.”

In yet another attempt to get outsiders excited about beetles, Chaboo organized that naming competition in conjunction with the Amazon Conservation Association. It gave Peruvians and Americans the chance to submit

new street and large maintenance projects. Hull said the task force wants that effort to continue, too.

If the city is going to invest in new sidewalks, it should also establish a sidewalk maintenance program that works, Hull said.

The issue of sidewalk maintenance was brought up at a City Commission study session on the report in February, where the task force called the current program “politically unenforceable.”

State law and city policy require property owners to maintain sidewalks.

The city notifies property owners to fix sidewalk

damage only when it receives complaints. Though the city has the authority to make the repairs and bill the property owners after so many notifications, it has never done so, City Engineer David Cronin has said.

Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said at the study session that enforcing the sidewalk policy on more than a complaint-driven process would be “extremely resource-intensive.”

“It’s not enforced, and as a result we have an overall sidewalk system that’s deteriorating with no real plan for improving it or even maintaining what we

have,” Hull said. “So, the situation isn’t tenable longterm. We feel like that’s something the city and citizens need to continue to put some energy into, figure out how to fund and manage a program.”

The task force is recommending that a new maintenance program be established by 2017 and that all sidewalks and ramps are brought into ADA compliance by 2030.

As of Friday, 48 individuals and organizations wrote to commissioners in support of the report.

It has the backing of many local health and recreation groups and neighborhood

bike in Lawrence, said Marilyn Hull, chair of the Pedestrian-Bicycle Issues Task Force.

“We’re really interested in getting more people out on bikes and enjoying the community by bike,” Hull said. “What we know is that most people in the community don’t feel safe on a bike riding around Lawrence. We have to do something different from what we’re doing now to provide the kind of facilities that will attract the average citizen to bike, rather than always getting in the car to go everywhere.”

The task force’s priorities related to pedestrians are: filling in sidewalk gaps in the “Safe Routes to School” network; completing sidewalks on arterial and collector streets; and bringing ramps, sidewalks and crosswalks into ADA compliance.

For bicycling, the task force prioritized: completing the “Lawrence Loop,”

“I think, actually, the project could be multiple careers.” lll

That vastness is partly why Chaboo is mesmerized by beetles.

“Life on Earth is just amazing,” she said. “We think we know most vertebrates now... but we really don’t know the spineless creatures.”

Of the 1.5 million species on earth that have been identified and formally named, about 900,000 of them are insects, Chaboo said. More than 400,000 of those insects are beetles, so that means roughly one in every four known animals is a beetle.

Scientists believe there could be millions more yet-to-be-discovered species.

The area of Peru that Chaboo works in is at the base of the Andes Mountains, she said. At the lowest elevation are rainforests, which merge a currently unfinished trail intended to circle the city; improving bicycle safety on roads with the highest crash rates; and developing “bicycle boulevards.”

Hull explained that “bicycle boulevards” are lowspeed streets made more bicycle friendly by adding traffic-calming measures.

The task force recommends budgeting $1 million from 2017 through 2019 to fund some of the priorities. It’s also asking that 0.05 percent of the 0.3 cent sales tax used for streets and infrastructure be earmarked for pedestrian and bicycle improvements, if the sales tax is renewed in 2019. The earmark would contribute approximately $850,000 per year, the report states.

The task force originally suggested increasing property or sales taxes to create a dedicated funding source for pedestrian and bicycle projects, but it backed off that idea when city commissioners said in February they wouldn’t support it.

Currently, it’s city policy to add bike and pedestrian amenities onto both

where the scientists could just inspect and pick off the ones they wanted.

She was amazed all of them were in her own “backyard.”

After undergrad, Chaboo worked two years in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City before coming to KU for her master’s degree. She earned her doctorate from Cornell University. She has worked at KU for eight years.

In addition to the ongoing Peru project, Chaboo recently co-authored an article on poison arrows of the Namibian bushmen — they smear their arrow tips with the larvae of certain beetles that apparently are toxic enough to cause paralysis in the stricken prey.

Chaboo said she and a couple of other scientists spent a month in Namibia, taking daily walks with bushmen to see how they find the beetle larvae, make arrows and use them to hunt and kill animals as large as giraffes.

An expert in leaf beetles, Chaboo was called in to help identify the types of poisonous beetles the hunters and their ancestors have relied on for generations. lll

name suggestions for one of the new beetle species Chaboo and her team discovered in Peru, a beetle she described as the tiniest beetle in the world — “smaller than a pinhead.”

A name for this minuscule beetle has been chosen, Chaboo said, but won’t be announced for a few more months.

A naming competition for another Chaboo-discovered beetle should be announced around midMay online at amazonconservation.org, she said.

Insects are critical pieces of the world’s ecosystem, even though they are small and widely unknown, she said. Especially with pieces of the ecosystem in danger — gold mining and deforestation are threatening species in her Peruvian research area — what happens far away can affect everyone, she said.

“We should care for the fundamental role these factors contribute to our Earth’s health and global climate,” she said.

“But we should also pay attention to how our daily choices might impact a beetle in the Amazon.”

While rainforests may be exceptionally ecologically diverse, Chaboo reminds that just as she realized in Trinidad, you can probably find more beetles and other animal species than you ever realized in your own backyard, even in Kansas.

“We don’t have to go to Peru to learn about nature and have fun in nature,” she said.

associations, such as the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Heartland Community Health Center and the KU, Lawrence and Douglas County bicycle advisory committees.

“The commissioners have a lot of difficult choices to make, and we understand that,” Hull said. “But I think our report and support letters show this is an issue that is of really major interest to a lot of people in our community. It’s not some fringe group.”

Chaboo, an entomologist, is an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Kansas University and a curator for KU’s Museum of Natural History.

More specifically, she’s a beetle hunter.

More scientifically, the sludge in the jar is called a bulk sample. Insects are trapped and culled from the field in batches, dropped into a preserving liquid, labeled and brought back to the lab to undergo a thorough identification process.

“This jar of riches?”

Chaboo said. “For me, this is the best gold you can get from the Amazon.”

Chaboo’s main, longterm research project has mushroomed into one she’s now calling “The Beetles of Peru Project.”

It’s an encyclopedic effort to compile all previous Peruvian beetle research from the past 300 years, collect and document all the existing species, then verify and name all the new ones.

Peru has more than 10,000 known species of beetles, Chaboo said.

So far Chaboo and her team — including KU students and more than 40 other beetle experts from around the world — have discovered 1,000 new species, and that’s just in the proportionately small region of Peru she’s been visiting annually since 2007.

Though she’s publishing findings along the way, there’s not a target date for completing this

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

That same conference committee bill also included new restrictions on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, that would reduce the lifetime limit for cash assistance in half to 24 months, with the possibility of allowing hardship exceptions that would extend the limit to 36 months.

It also would have removed limits imposed last year on the amount of money TANF recipients could withdraw from ATM machines.

In addition, the bill would have kicked people off the TANF program if they refused to cooperate with a fraud investigation, and it would require monthly reporting of all people with lottery winnings of $5,000 or more to determine their eligibility for assistance.

Although the House rejected the bill, it was kept alive through a procedural motion, and a conference committee was scheduled to meet later in the night to come up with a different version of the bill.

Earlier Sunday, the House passed a measure that was also critical to the budget. That was a bill authorizing the sale of the assets of the Kansas Bioscience Authority, which the budget assumes will generate at least $25 million.

That bill also imposes new limits on the use of Sales Tax Revenue, or STAR bonds, an economic development tool used to spur new retail development in designated areas.

The budget bill that the House hoped to consider Sunday night calls for spending nearly $6.3 billion in the state general fund next year. Based on the newly revised revenue estimates, that would leave the state with an ending balance of $69.8 million.

Shortly after the bill failed, the House agreed to suspend one of its own rules so it could continue meeting after midnight.

That rule prohibits the House from meeting between midnight and 8 a.m.

Bill limiting local authority sent to Brownback

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The Kansas Senate gave final passage Sunday to a bill that preempts local governments from enacting certain laws or regulations affecting real estate, rental property, retail food sales and private-sector working conditions.

The House approved the bill Saturday night, 76-45. The Senate’s 32-6 vote Sunday sends the bill to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The bill would prohibit cities or counties from: l Enacting or enforcing rental licensing programs that provide for periodic interior inspections of rental dwellings without

the occupant’s consent. l Enacting laws or regulations regarding nutritional content or labeling of food sold at retail. l Regulating the sale or resale price of real estate. l Enacting laws or regulations governing the schedules or work hours of private-sector employees.

Sens. Marci Francisco of Lawrence and Tom Holland of Baldwin City, both Democrats, spoke against the bill, noting that three of the four provisions — all but the rental inspections provision — were never considered before in the Senate. Francisco tried unsuccessfully to refer the bill back to a

Measure adds transparency to judicial selection process The Associated Press

The Kansas commission that names three finalists for each state Supreme Court vacancy would be subject to the state’s open records and meetings laws under a measure approved by legislators Sunday.

The Kansas Senate voted 35-3 for the bill Sunday evening, sending it to Gov. Sam Brownback.

House members voted 72-50 for the measure Saturday.

A provision in the bill also would require the governor to disclose information about each person applying to fill a Court of Appeals vacancy. He’s previously declined to release the names.

The governor names Court of Appeals judges subject to Senate confirmation, but the Supreme Court Nominating Commission screens applicants for vacancies on the state’s highest court. The governor must appoint one, and lawmakers have no role.

The commission interviews candidates in public but discusses their merits privately.

The bill would also require that the secretary of state receive a roster of lawyers eligible to participate in the elections of the commission’s

give the authority for counting ballots cast by lawyers for the commission members to the attorney general and secretary of state.

Currently, two or more licensed lawyers chosen by the chief justice serve as the canvassers. Democratic Rep. John Carmichael, of Wichita, said that change would violate the separation of powers between branches of government.

“There has never in 50 years been any suggestion of any form of impropriety in connection LEGISLATURE with those elections,” Carmichael told The Associated Press. “They run efficiently and inexpensively under the direct supervision of the clerk of the Kansas Supreme Court.”

The bill came amid broad discontent from Brownback and other conservatives over the court’s rulings against the state on school funding and overturning death penalty verdicts. The decision to overturn death sentences for brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr for the killings of four people in Wichita in December 2000, they said, argues for the need

The state’s high court judges are chosen by a nonpartisan nominating commission consisting of five attorneys elected by other lawyers and four public members selected by the governor.

One of the five attorneys is the chairman. When a Supreme Court opening occurs, the commission chooses three finalists whose names are sent to the governor for a final selection.

Currently the chief justice of the Supreme Court chooses replacements if the chairman or attorney commission members resign before their terms are completed. Negotiators removed a controversial provision in the bill that would have allowed the governor to appoint replacements instead.

istration fees to provide extra funds for the state Highway Patrol to hire additional troopers.

The House approved the measure on a 92-27 vote. The Senate passed it Saturday, 36-4, so the bill goes to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The bill also includes another fee increase to provide additional funds for a center in Hutchinson that trains law enforcement officers.

Vehicle registration fees would increase a total of $3.25. Most vehicle owners now pay $35.

A $2 increase would raise $5.4 million a year for the patrol so it could hire an additional 75 troopers.

Thirty-five of the state’s 105 counties have no assigned trooper.

A measure approved by the Kansas Senate on Sunday night explicitly prohibits midwives from performing abortions or administering abortion-inducing drugs. The proposal was part of a comprehensive health care regulation bill that included new rules for acupuncture.

The Senate approved the bill unanimously and House passed it, 115-7, sending it to Gov. Sam Brownback.

Another measure approved by both chambers Sunday makes permanent an annual budget policy in place since 2011 that prevents the state from providing federal family planning dollars to Planned Parenthood. The funds are used to cover the costs of non-abortion services for poor patients.

The votes on the bill were 87-34 in the House and 32-8 in the Senate.

Be aware of 9-volt battery fire potential Dear Annie: A friend recently lost his home in a fire, and said the reason was two 9-volt batteries that were loose in a drawer. The fire occurred while they weren’t home. Something similar occurred at my husband’s office, but it was only a small spark and they were able to get it under control quickly.

Please tell your readers to be sure to store their batteries in their original containers and to make sure that the contact posts aren’t touching.

I always place a piece of tape over the contacts before I throw them away. If we can save even one life (or home), it will have been worth it. -- M. Dear M.: According to the National Fire Prevention Associa-

Annie’s Mailbox

tion, the odds of 9-volt batteries starting a house fire are slim.

Nonetheless, batteries should not be stored loose where they can come into contact with metal (keys, pocket change, aluminum foil, paper clips), glue or other materials that could cause them to spark. Cover the posts and store all batteries upright in their original packaging. It is best not to dispose of them in the trash.

A historical buddy cop mashup We live in a time when history and historical figures are not to be studied or taken seriously, but reimagined as cartoon characters or superheroes. “Houdini and Doyle” (8 p.m., Fox, TV14) offers a gently entertaining mash-up of ideas and a continuation of overlapping and curious television trends.

Michael Weston (“House”) stars as the famous illusionist and skeptic Harry Houdini.

Stephen Mangan (“Episodes”) is Arthur C o n a n Doyle, the creator of “Sherlock Holmes,” now devoted to using “scientific” methods to offer proof of the supernatural.

In the strange logic of episodic TV, they become amateur detectives and buddy cops, accompanied by the fetching Adelaide Stratton (Rebecca Liddiard), a policewoman striving to be taken seriously in presuffragette London. As high concept series go, it’s a gaslight variation on “The X-Files.”

When the two leads aren’t bickering about faith vs. reason, Houdini is shown on stage, or rather behind a curtain, as nervous audience members worry about the time he’s already spent submerged in a water tank. This ticking-clock device is also used to create tension as the show’s trio attempts to solve any number of murder mysteries.

Take away all of the philosophizing and narrative gimmicks and you have a pretty routine procedural that would not challenge the average “Murder, She Wrote” fan.

“Houdini and Doyle” is a British-Canadian-American production that has already aired in the United Kingdom. Everyone in the cast seems natural to the London setting except Weston, who plays Houdini as Ray Liotta meets Tony Curtis playing a brash Yank time-traveler bringing MTV attitude to a corset-wearing era.

He’s not the only anachronism. Set in 1901, “Houdini and Doyle” depicts a Victorian society entirely without racial prejudice. Television simply loves this period, featured in “Penny Dreadful,” “Ripper Street” and “The Knick,” to name a few.

This must keep costume departments busy.

“Houdini and Doyle” does solve one key television question: It explains why there’s been such a long lag between seasons of Showtime’s “Episodes.” Mangan has been busy playing Arthur Conan Doyle looking for God. Tonight’s other highlights

On two helpings of “Mike & Molly” (CBS, TV-14): Vince disappoints (7 p.m.), room at the inn (7:30 p.m.).

Norma is beside herself on “Bates Motel” (8 p.m., A&E, TV-14).

Theater can be murder on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Check with your local authorities to find out where to take them for proper disposal or recycling.

Dear Annie: My daughter received an iTunes gift card from one of her friends. At the birthday party, she and this friend attempted to redeem the card online, but it did not activate.

The friend told her mother the card did not work. Two days later, we attempted to exchange the card at the store where it was purchased, but we needed a receipt.

I called the friend’s mother, but she told me she thought she had thrown it out, but she’d check and let me know.

EDITORIALS

Paying attention The incoming school district leader is wise to gather as much teacher feedback as possible.

K

yle Hayden, Lawrence’s incoming school superintendent, is right to meet with faculty at as many campuses as possible this year.

This week, results of a district stakeholder survey were released showing that more than a third of teachers surveyed expressed concerns about communication between the district’s administration and its staff members. The survey also showed many teachers feel they don’t have adequate input on major district initiatives such as blended learning, digital textbooks and the district’s new discipline model, Ci3T. Some caveats about the survey, conducted as part of the district’s superintendent search, are important to keep in mind. It was anonymous. It was voluntary. And it was limited to 145 teachers.

Still, it’s smart of Hayden to pay attention to the issues that emerged in the survey.

“In large part, the current challenges our district faces focus on a lack of transparency and communication between the administration and the teaching staff,” one teacher wrote.

Another said, “There are too many new initiatives that are overwhelming and implemented without proper staff development or the time to make them work properly.”

Hayden is an assistant superintendent in the Lawrence district and he should be well aware of many of these concerns. Hayden takes over for Rick Doll on July 1. He said he plans to meet with teachers and students at all 21 of the district’s schools by the end of the school year. He will use those meetings to collect feedback that will be presented to the school board. Hayden said it’s one thing to make a comment in a stakeholder survey, but he said he would like to better quantify the feedback.

“We need to have an understanding of what that’s about,” Hayden said in response to the survey feedback. “Is that an isolated perspective or is that something that’s fairly pervasive that we need to understand more and figure out what adjustments need to be made?”

Again, having served as an assistant superintendent for five years, Hayden should be aware of many concerns.

There are no shortage of challenges facing the Lawrence school district, and to tackle those challenges, Hayden will need districtwide support. Showing the district’s staff that he is willing to listen — and respond — to their feedback and input is key to gaining that support.

In case of Trump victory, break glass Washington — Donald Trump’s damage to the Republican Party, although already extensive, has barely begun. Republican quislings will multiply, slinking into support of the most anticonservative presidential aspirant in their party’s history. These collaborationists will render themselves ineligible to participate in the party’s reconstruction.

Ted Cruz’s announcement of his preferred running mate has enhanced the nomination process by giving voters pertinent information. They already know the only important thing about Trump’s choice: His running mate will be unqualified for high office because he or she will think Trump is qualified.

Hillary Clinton’s optimal running mate might be Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a pro-labor populist whose selection would be balm for the bruised feelings of Bernie Sanders’ legions. Running mates rarely matter as electoral factors: In 2000, Al Gore got 43.2 percent of the North Carolina vote. In 2004, John Kerry, trying to improve upon Gore’s total there, ran with North Carolina Sen. John Edwards but received 43.6 percent. If, however, Brown were to help deliver Ohio for Clinton, the Republican path to 270 electoral votes would be narrower than a needle’s eye.

Republican voters, particularly in Indiana and California, can, by supporting Cruz, make the Republican convention a deliberative body rather than one that

A convention’s sovereign duty is to choose a plausible nominee who has a reasonable chance to win, not to passively affirm the will of a mere plurality of voters recorded episodically in a protracted process.

Trump would be the most unpopular nominee ever, unable to even come close to Mitt Romney’s insufficient support among women, minorities and young people. In losing disastrously, Trump probably would create down-ballot carnage sufficient to end even Republican control of the House. Ticket splitting is becoming rare in polarized America: In 2012, only 5.7 percent of voters supported

a presidential candidate and a congressional candidate of opposite parties.

At least half a dozen Republican senators seeking re-election and Senate aspirants can hope to win if the person at the top of the Republican ticket loses their state by, say, only four points, but not if he loses by 10. A Democratic Senate probably would guarantee a Supreme Court with a liberal cast for a generation. If Clinton is inaugurated next Jan. 20, Merrick Garland probably will already be on the court — confirmed in a lame duck Senate session — and justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer will be 83, 80 and 78, respectively.

The minority of people who pay close attention to politics includes those who define an ideal political outcome and pursue it, and those who focus on the worst possible outcome and strive to avoid it. The former experience the excitements of utopianism, the latter settle for prudence’s mild pleasure of avoiding disappointed dreams. Both sensibilities have their uses, but this is a time for prudence, which demands the prevention of a Trump presidency.

Were he to be nominated, conservatives would have two tasks. One would be to help him lose 50 states — condign punishment for his comprehensive disdain for conservative essentials, including the manners and grace that should lubricate the nation’s civic life. Second, conservatives can try

to save from the anti-Trump undertow as many senators, representatives, governors and state legislators as possible.

It was 32 years after Jimmy Carter won 50.1 percent in 1976 that a Democrat won half the popular vote. Barack Obama won only 52.9 percent and then 51.1 percent, but only three Democrats — Andrew Jackson (twice), Franklin Roosevelt (four times) and Lyndon Johnson — have won more than 53 percent. Trump probably would make Clinton the fourth, and he would be a tonic for her party, undoing the extraordinary damage (13 Senate seats, 69 House seats, 11 governorships, 913 state legislative seats) Obama has done.

If Trump is nominated, Republicans working to purge him and his manner from public life will reap the considerable satisfaction of preserving the identity of their 162-year-old party while working to see that they forgo only four years of the enjoyment of executive power. Six times since 1945 a party has tried, and five times failed, to secure a third consecutive presidential term. The one success — the Republicans’ 1988 election of George H.W. Bush — produced a one-term president.

If Clinton gives her party its first 12 consecutive White House years since 1945, Republicans can help Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, or someone else who has honorably recoiled from Trump, confine her to a single term.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 2, 1916: “Judge Smart told the juyears rymen for the May term ago of court that the Supreme IN 1916 Court had looked with approval upon the custom practiced in some of the courts in Kansas where the judge outlined the duty of jurors so that their functions might be clearly understood. ... The poor juror was the man who changed opinions to conform always with the greatest number. “ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Latino vote likely to sink Trump this fall Judging from the latest primary results and new polls that have just come out, I have a growing feeling that Latinos will save America from Donald Trump.

There is little question after the April 26 primary elections in Pennsylvania and four other states that Trump will be the Republican candidate for November. And if he is defeated by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, it will be largely thanks to the Latino vote.

Consider a new poll by Latino Decisions, a nationwide survey of 2,200 registered Latino voters: It shows that 87 percent of Hispanics have an unfavorable opinion of Trump.

Trump’s standing among Latino voters has been falling steadily since he announced his run for the presidency on June 16 and said that most Mexicans are “rapists” and that they “bring drugs and crime.”

His rhetoric against Mexicans — perhaps influenced by his failed business project in Baja California in 2008 — and other undocumented immigrants has escalated since.

Despite having been told a thousand times that his narrative about an avalanche of undocumented Mexicans coming to the United States is inaccurate — in fact, U.S.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

Census figures show the flow of Mexicans is significantly down from 2008 — Trump is repeating his fear-mongering tale in almost every speech.

He calls for the mass deportation of more than 11 million undocumented migrants, proposes to build a wall on the border with Mexico and wants to slap a 35 percent import tax on Mexican products. So far, his audiences love it. Bur, remember, he has been talking to a limited audience of right-wing Republican primary voters. In a general election, he may come to regret his Mexico-bashing and anti-immigrant tirades.

The Latino vote will be critical in the November election. The percentage of Latino voters nationwide is projected to skyrocket from 3.9 percent in 1992 to nearly 10 percent in 2016, according to a recent study by City University of New York and CNN en Español.

More importantly, Latinos are concentrated in 10 states that have the largest number of votes in the electoral college. They will exceed 10 percent of voters in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York and Texas.

And Clinton is doing much better than Trump among Hispanics: 61 percent of those polled nationwide say they have a favorable opinion of Clinton, while only 9 percent have a favorable opinion of Trump, the Latino Decision survey shows.

So how can Trump win without the Latino vote?

Trump supporters say that he will make up for his shortage of Latino voters by drawing millions of angry white Republicans and socalled Reagan Democrats who have not voted in recent elections to the polls in November. These voters are energized by Trump’s “America First” nationalistpopulist campaign claiming that Mexicans, Muslims and European and Asian governments that are getting U.S. military aid are to blame for America’s problems.

“The Republican Party is up about 70 percent from four years ago,” Trump boasted in his April 26 victory speech after winning the primaries in Pennsyl-

vania and four other states, referring to the turnout in this year’s primary races.

These new voters will propel Trump to victory, regardless of the Latino vote, the Trump camp says.

My opinion: Even if Trump changes his image and moderates his rhetoric to look more “presidential” in coming months, his math won’t work. His constituency of largely angry white males won’t be enough to compensate for his scant support among women and black voters, and for his disastrous one-digit support among Latinos.

Trump’s argument that he is drawing record numbers of Republicans to the polls is true, but he fails to point out that the Democrats’ turnout has also gone up. According to the Pew Research Center, overall Republican turnout this year’s primaries is 7.5 percent higher than in 2012, while Democrats’ turnout is up by 5.4 percentage points.

Most importantly, Trump’s xenophobia — if not racism — is likely to mobilize Latino voters like never before, because they will feel threatened. Hispanics will vote in record numbers in November. And, rather than being a threat to America, they will save America from Trump.

Betsy owned her own customized pan-head Harley-Davidson trike for years, Josh said. She was a spokeswoman as well as a rider and involved with the motorcycle rider’s advocacy group, ABATE. Although the organization now goes by a number of more politically correct names, it was A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments during Betsy’s involvement, said longtime friend Dodie Coker, who was one of 15 friends who

Betsy’s memories. It was made possible through the efforts of staff member Steven King.

“I ride,” King said.

“Through a friend of a friend, I found a motorcycle with a sidecar.”

The bike with sidecar was a Russian-made Ural rather than a Harley, but Coker said that didn’t stop Betsy from enjoying the short ride.

She was confident it did bring back memories of her old friend’s motorcycling days and the many friendships she made with those who shared her passion.

“I’m sure it did,” she said. “When I think about Betsy, I think of her sitting with a cup of coffee in her hand, a smile on her face and on the phone with someone talking about motorcycles.”

brought their motorcycles to join Betsy on her last ride. That aggressive name was certainly the attitude Betsy brought to her advocacy against mandatory helmet laws and other issues as the organization’s district representative and the editor of a newsletter, which Coker said she helped typeset.

“I got my first bike because of her,” Coker said. “She loaned me the money to buy a trike and allowed me to make payments on it when I could.”

Cheryl Culver, patient care coordinator at Avalon Hospice, said Betsy still responded to her motorcycle past.

“When the nurses come to take her for a bath, they’ll grab her hand and twist and go ‘rurrrr, rurrrr,’” she said. “That always makes her smile.”

FINAL BOW: ELEPHANT ACT ENDS AFTER 145 YEARS

The iconic elephants of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus were to parade into a Rhode Island arena for their final performance Sunday, ending a classic feature of “The Greatest Show on Earth” that began 145 years ago. The last act follows decades of protests by animal rights activists claiming cruel training and housing. The 11 show animals will live on Ringling’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation in central Florida, where they will join 29 others. Some will be part of cancer research. IN NEWS

Iraq experienced one of its roughest weekends in recent memory, when protesters angry about government corruption stormed the heavily fortified Green Zone on Saturday and dual car bombs exploded Sunday in southern Iraq, killing at least 31.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombings.

The protesters announced Sunday they would temporarily end their sit-in and started to leave the heavily fortified area.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi earlier Sunday called for arrests of the protesters who tore down blast walls and infiltrated the Green Zone, filling the parliament building and assaulting Iraqi lawmakers. No one was seriously injured.

The protests, by followers of renegade Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, came two days after a surprise visit to Baghdad by Vice President Biden, who praised the progress Iraqi leaders were making.

China’s refusal of U.S. port visit could escalate tensions Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO China’s surprise rejection of a port visit by a U.S. aircraft carrier last week could signal a further escalation of tensions in the disputed South China Sea. Chinese authorities refused last week to grant permission for the USS John C. Stennis battle group to make a routine port call at Hong Kong. It is the first time in nearly a decade that China has turned away a U.S. carrier.

The move came just two weeks after Defense Secretary Ashton Carter used a high-profile visit to the Stennis to criticize China’s territorial claims and islandbuilding campaign in the South China Sea, a critical waterway that supports $5 trillion a year in international trade.

The refusal to host the Stennis battle group was a direct response — and challenge — to Carter’s visit, said Grant Newsham, senior research fellow at the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies in Tokyo.

Taiwan and four other countries also claim territory in the South China Sea and have protested China’s actions. The U.S. is concerned that China could use the new islands to interfere with sea and air navigation in the region.

Cmdr. Bill Urban, a Defense Department spokesman in Washington, said Sunday that U.S. officials in Hong Kong were informed by the Chinese government April 28 that a request for the Stennis and its four escort vessels to visit Hong Kong from May 3-8 was denied. No reason was given.

The incidents called into question Iraq’s ability to effectively buffer and contain the Islamic State militant group and raised doubts about the country’s political stability 13 years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Q: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

A: The protests were the culmination of months of street demonstrations incited by alSadr, the popular cleric who launched an uprising in 2004 against U.S. troops in Iraq. The protesters demand government reforms to stop corruption, wanting politically appointed ministers to be replaced with non-partisan technocrats.

The incident also underscores long-simmering sectarian tensions that continue to brew since

Puerto Rico’s financial crisis puts the squeeze on Congress Potential default of $422M looms Monday Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The confrontation between debt-swamped Puerto Rico and its creditors is intensifying as the U.S. territory will default on payments due Monday, deepening the island’s financial crisis and placing additional pressure on Congress to intervene.

The debt crisis threatens to resuscitate moribund ideological

debates over the propriety of federal bailouts and the impact of fiscal mismanagement on the lives of real people faced with insufficient services.

Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro García Padilla said Sunday in a televised address that he had ordered the island’s Government Development Bank not to make certain payments owed Monday, stacking another round of missed payments on previous defaults.

“This was a painful decision.

We would have preferred to have had a legal framework to restructure our debts in an orderly manner,” García Padilla said. “But faced with the inability to meet

Puerto Rico was expected to default on about $422 million in

bonds Monday, plunging the U.S. territory deeper into arrears, Moody’s Investor Service said last week in a report.

Municipal Market Analytics analyst Matt Fabian said Sunday that it’s clear the island can’t pay its debts in full. “Frankly the risk in Puerto Rico is that bonds aren’t cut enough initially to create a sustainable base,” he said.

The island’s lawmakers recently enacted a debt moratorium bill designed to ease the legal implications of defaults, but bondholders are furious and could mount a legal challenge. The governor cited that law as justification for his action Sunday.

Gender-neutral restrooms could be the answer Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

AUSTIN Another battle over bathroom rights is looming in Texas.

Some Texas activists and lawmakers say they plan to introduce a bill next session that would bar transgender women from using women’s restrooms.

This comes on the heels of a similar controversial North Carolina law, House Bill 2, that has sparked a national debate and provoked a business backlash against the state. PayPal announced it was canceling plans to open a global operations center in North Carolina, and more than 120 businesses, including Hyatt, Kellogg and Northrop Grumman, have signed an open letter urging its repeal.

The issue even entered the presidential race, with GOP front-runner Donald Trump initially saying there have been few problems with the bathrooms rules as they are and the states should leave it alone, before backtracking slightly. His main rival, Ted Cruz, slammed the real estate mogul for following the same political correctness as Democratic leaders.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is unfazed by the controversy or the potential of an economic backlash hitting Texas if a bathroom law is enacted. In an interview with The Texas Tribune, he called the issue a priority for the next legislative

“I think the handwriting is on the bathroom wall: Men need to stay out of the ladies’ room,” Patrick told the Tribune. “This is about common sense, common decency and allowing women to have comfort when they’re in the bathroom.”

Jessica Shortall, managing director of Texas Competes, a coalition of businesses that favor LGBT rights, said reaction to a Texas law could be withering.

Her group started with 100 businesses in 2014 and has grown to 870 today, she told me. Of those, 194 businesses have signed up since the North Carolina law

passed in March.

“We’ve had some Texas business leaders say point blank: ‘This type of law has the potential of harming our competitive advantage,’ ” she says.

Here’s my solution to all this: gender-neutral restrooms.

It’s long befuddled me that men and women were relegated to separate bathrooms. Were there feminine secrets hatching in the prohibited women’s restroom? Men and women are equal on so many levels yet when nature calls we’re segregated to separate corrals?

When my local Starbucks recently introduced gender-neutral restrooms, it felt like a remarkable evolutionary event, like space travel or Google Maps, instantly cutting down wait times and removing the embarrassing potential of accidentally wandering into the wrong room.

Gender-neutral restrooms are not a novel idea. Europe has used them for decades, and cities such as West Hollywood, Calif., and Austin have passed recent ordinances requiring businesses to relabel their single-occupancy restrooms as gender-neutral.

Moss Design, a Chicago-based architecture and design firm, is designing and advocating for more gender-neutral restrooms across the USA. It has designed two — in a Chicago hotel and restaurant — and more are in the works.

I reached out to Moss’s founder, Matt Nardella, for further insight. A minute into our conversation, I knew I had the right guy. “My involvement in bathrooms, whether I like it or not, goes back a way,” he told me.

Turns out Nardella was working at an architectural firm in San Diego in 1998 when 9-yearold Matthew Cecchi was murdered in a public restroom in nearby Oceanside, Calif., while his aunt waited outside for him.

That incident prompted San Diego to redesign its public restrooms to include “Family Friendly” restrooms, where parents can accompany children inside. Nardella was involved with that project.

Ever since, he’s had bathrooms on the brain.

Nardella’s recent designs for gender-neutral restrooms are simple: Single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms alongside handicap-accessible stalls and a shared sink for everyone. In his view, bathrooms should also be nearer to the front of a restaurant or hotel lobby instead of at the end of a dark hall in the back.

The design saves space, money and, most important, does away with gender-specific, multi-stall rooms that are, according to Nardella, “disgusting.”

“They can be thought of as common space, like a lobby, rather than a backroom bathroom where bad things happen,” he says of the new design. “In the long run, not only is it going to be better for transgender people but also, I think, just makes everyone feels safer.”

It seems amazing that, 50 years after we desegregated restrooms, we’re back to fighting for civil rights over the use of a toilet. Maybe a little smart designing can see us past this.

Sanders tries to sway Democratic superdelegates to leave Clinton fold Indiana poll shows Trump leading Cruz Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders made a direct appeal to Democratic Party superdelegates to switch their support from Hillary Clinton, as he falls further behind in the pledged delegates needed to win the nomination and faces a self-described “uphill” fight.

Superdelegates are party officials who have a vote at the convention in July in Philadelphia, and Sanders cannot beat Clinton unless large numbers of them defect from her and he wins remaining primaries by large margins.

During a news conference, Sanders’ pitch was that superdelegates from states he carried should back him instead of Clinton, even if it wouldn’t be enough to close the gap with her.

He acknowledged he would still need to win 65% of pledged delegates to beat Clinton, calling it “admittedly a tough road to WASHINGTON

climb, but not an impossible one.”

The appeal comes as the Vermont senator saw a drop in fundraising last month. His campaign is laying off hundreds of staffers, and Clinton is shifting her focus to general election swing states.

Clinton has pointed out that she holds a strong lead among pledged delegates and has received nearly 2.7 million more popular votes than Sanders has.

Sanders says Clinton, a former New York senator and secretary of State, has the vast majority of superdelegates, Sanders even in states that Sanders carried by a landslide like New Hampshire. Clinton has an estimated 520 superdelegates, including many who committed even before their states cast votes, while Sanders has 39. Clinton also has a significant lead in the pledged delegates earned in primaries and caucuses, with 1,645 to Sanders’ 1,318.

Sanders said most polls show him leading GOP front-runner Donald Trump by a wider margin than Clinton in a theoretical general election. “This is an issue I hope superdelegates will pay keen attention to,” Sanders said.

Earlier in the day, the Sanders campaign said he raised $25.8 million in April, a significant drop from previous months.

He raised $46 million in March.

The next major election is Tuesday’s primary in Indiana, where a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll gives Clinton only a 4-point lead over Sanders, who is also expected to perform well in Oregon.

On the GOP side, that Indiana poll says Trump leads Sen. Ted Cruz by 49% to 34%, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 13%.

Cruz said Sunday that the Republican convention in July will be contested and that Trump will not reach the 1,237 delegates he needs to capture the nomination.

Cruz, who recently picked up the endorsement of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said Republicans will coalesce around him if Trump falls short in a first round of voting at the convention.

Q: WHY THIS MATTERS TO THE UNITED STATES?

A: The U.S. military ousted former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein in 2003 and oversaw the formation of the current government.

The United States said it wants a stable Iraqi government that will continue fighting the Islamic State, which has taken control of a swath of territory in Iraq and neighboring Syria. Iraqi troops have been fighting the extremists in Mosul and other parts of Iraq.

Baghdad’s unraveling could also return the country to the sectarian conflicts that flared earlier this decade, sparking instability in the region and potentially staunching the flow of Iraq’s more than 4 million barrels of oil a day, said Kenneth Pollack, senior fellow with the Brookings Institute.

“If there’s civil war in Iraq, it could spread: Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,” he said. “These are scenarios that the United States does not want to see happen.”

Q: HOW CAN THIS IMPACT THE WAR ON THE ISLAMIC STATE?

A: Iraq needs a stable political system in Baghdad to keep troops motivated in places like Mosul and Anbar Province in their fight against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. The military has made strong gains but the political system continues to be in disarray and could threaten the overall strategy, Pollack said.

As the United States continues to scale back its presence in Iraq, less pressure is put on Iraqi lawmakers to work out their differences, he said.

“We now have a military campaign that’s doing quite well,” Pollack said. “The problem is the political side of this whole campaign is not making nearly the same progress.”

Q: WHAT’S NEXT?

A: Al-Abadi, who has been prime minister since 2014, will

“If there’s civil war in Iraq, it could spread: Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia.”

Kenneth Pollack, senior fellow with the Brookings Institute

continue to try to find consensus and push through his reforms, while al-Sadr will keep looking for an opportunity to project his will. That’s not to mention other powerful factions operating in Baghdad.

The United States might have to deepen its involvement in Iraq’s political process to help stabilize the country, analysts said. Even then, nothing’s certain.

“We try to fix one problem and another opens up somewhere else,” Cook said. “It’s (indicative) of a situation that’s crumbling in slow motion.”

11 will help scientists seeking cancer cures Katharine Lackey @katharinelackey USA TODAY

The iconic elephants of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus were to parade into a Rhode Island arena for their final performance Sunday, ending a classic feature of “The Greatest Show on Earth” that began in the “big top” circus tents 145 years ago.

The giant pachyderms’ last act follows decades of protests by animal rights activists who claim the methods used to train and house the elephants are cruel.

Ringling bowed to the pressure as state and local rules placed more restrictions on the circus’ use of exotic animals and the bullhook trainers use to control the animals.

“It’s the end of a long era and it’s an overdue policy,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States.

About 10 million people attend Ringling events each year, according to Alana Feld, Ringling’s executive vice president and show producer. The last shows featuring the two touring elephant groups were to take place in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and Providence on Sunday evening. Ringling was to livestream the final performance in Providence on Facebook Live and Ringling.com.

“There’s going to be a lot of emotion around the performances, a lot of people coming to see the elephants for the last time and certainly for our performers and everyone traveling with them it’s a big change,” Feld said before the shows.

The move means early retirement for the circus’ 11 remaining Asian elephants, which range in age from 6-year-old April to 48year-old Asia. Together, the traveling troupes — five elephants in one, six in the other — performed 1,000 shows a year in 80 cities.

The animals will take one last trip by truck and train to Ringling’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida.

They will join 29 others in the largest herd of Asian elephants in the Western Hemisphere.

There, the former stage performers will roam, hang out and play with an assortment of toys, balls and even massive truck tires left over from Feld Entertainment’s Monster Jam events. As an additional enticement, the center is building two pools to allow the water-loving elephants, which already use 80 gallons of water a day for drinking and bathing, even more splash time.

At night, the animals are restrained in chains — which still allow them to lie down and turn around — to make sure they don’t disturb one another or steal others’ food, according to Ringling.

IN BRIEF EGGS-TRAVAGANT ORTHODOX EASTER

But the elephants will also be involved in some more serious work: the search for treatments or a cure for pediatric cancer. Elephants rarely develop cancer. Researchers want to find out why, so they are using the center’s elephants to study the cancer-fighting gene entangled in their DNA. Ringling had planned to phase out its elephants by 2018, but in January it sped up the process.

The company finished preparations needed to move the animals much sooner than anticipated.

The elephants stand up to 10 feet tall, weigh up to 11,000 pounds and eat up to 300 pounds

of food a day, and it costs $65,000 a year to care for each.

The use of bullhooks — a long stick with a sharp metal hook — in the elephants’ training and handling, along with chains and other methods of controlling the animals, has drawn the ire of animal rights activists who say such methods are cruel.

Ringling maintains those practices are humane, and not only for the safety of the humans who work with the animals but also for the elephants themselves.

“There’s a lot of critics out there, but the bullhook is the most humane and the USDA-ap-

proved tool to work with animals,” Feld said.

While animal rights groups largely praised Ringling’s decision to retire its elephants, some want the circus to eliminate other animals in its acts, including lions and tigers.

“Taking elephants out of the shows is only the first step,” said Rachel Mathews, PETA Foundation Capital Animal Law Enforcement counsel. “Ringling must now put an end to all of the abuse on the big top. Elephants don’t want to stand on their heads (and) tigers don’t want to jump through hoops.”

The partial reopening restores the airport to 80% of its usual capacity of 40,000 passengers a day.

The goal is to restore 100% of service by mid-June, Feist said.

BEIJING A female-only bus service aimed at protecting women from sexual harassment has launched in China, drawing praise and criticism.

The Zhengzhou 3rd bus company introduced the service on a popular route in the central city of Zhengzhou. It will run during busy commuting hours until early August.

“During the summer, women usually wear thinner clothes, making it easier for them to be harassed in crowded buses. ... The all-female service will increase their convenience and safety,” said Kong Chaoping, the firm’s chairman, according to the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper.

The buses are recognizable by their big red signs that read, “Female-only.” Stuffed animals and other kids’ toys are suspended from the ceiling.

Sexual harassment is a common yet largely ignored problem on China’s public transportation system. More than 50% of women have experienced inappropriate touching or body contact on trains and buses, a survey by the China Youth Daily newspaper found last year.

In 2014, the Women’s Federation of Guangzhou, a state-affiliated group, found that 85% of all sexual assaults in Guangzhou, a city in southern China, occurred while victims used the city’s public transportation network.

Chinese media were mostly positive about the new service.

“The female-only bus makes our eyes light up. First, it protects women, especially younger ones who would prefer to wear less, shorts or backless dresses in the summer. Second, it makes it easier for pregnant and nursing mothers to travel,” said the People’s Daily newspaper.

Several feminists who tried to

“The female-only bus is insulting because it treats every man like a pervert.”

raise awareness about the topic were detained by authorities for a month last year.

“The issue of sexual harassment is getting serious in China.

But 90% of women choose not to respond or fight back, which makes the problem even more serious,” says Chinese feminist Xiao Meili, who speaks out about domestic violence. “(These buses are) representative of the stereotyping of women. In the bus company’s mind, women should be pink and love fluffy toys.”

Some women are fighting back.

Last week, a young woman riding the metro in the southern city of Nanjing discovered a man taking photographs up her skirt with a camera hidden in a bag. She confronted him and told him to delete the images. He ran off. Afterward, she posted a video of him on social media.

Women throughout Asia face similar problems. Tokyo’s metro system has had women-only car-

riages for more than a decade, and India’s railway network introduced them for commuter trains in 2009.

The bus company promised that men won’t suffer as a result of the new service because each female-only bus will be followed by one that both sexes can board.

Some in China expressed unease over the move.

“The female-only bus is insulting because it treats every man like a pervert,” said a male user of China’s Twitter-like service Sina Weibo who goes by the name Daxic.

“What about the women who catch the mixed bus now?

Doesn’t this make that more dangerous?” asked Ziyandanquan, a female user of Sina Weibo.

Others took issue with the focus on women’s clothing, questioning the logic of running the buses only in the summer. Two years ago, the Beijing metro caused outrage when it told women not to wear hot pants or miniskirts if they wanted to avoid being harassed.

“To avoid being the target of inappropriate picture-taking, (women) should shelter their bodies with bags, magazines and newspapers,” Beijing police said.

For TAP students, dream made real Kate Murphy

Like any sibling, Arielle Bachrach always looked up to her older sister.

Bachrach, 25, was born with an intellectual disability that made walking across the stage at a university seem impossible.

She wanted to achieve all the same milestones, including graduating from college.

“I never thought I would be able to go to college, but it was my dream,” Bachrach said.

When a family friend told her about the Transition Access Program at the University of Cincinnati, that dream became possible.

Bachrach and six others were TAP’s first graduating class to walk across the stage in Fifth Third Arena at UC’s commencement ceremony Saturday.

UC launched its TAP program in 2012 within the College of Education, Criminal Justice & Human Services. It offers a four-year non-degree option for students with mild-to-moderate intellectual and developmental disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome and Asperger’s syndrome. There are 35 students in the program.

Gains are gains — even if they are the lowest of the year Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Mayday! For stocks?

An old Wall Street adage coined by The Stock Trader’s Almanac says it may make good dollars and sense to steer clear of stocks for the next six months.

But dumping every single share of stock in your portfolio and going to cash for the next six months and then jumping back into the market in October — as the “Sell in May and go away” seasonal trading strategy advises — might not be the best course of action for investors.

Monday marks the first trading day of May and ushers in what has historically been the worst six-month stretch for stocks. And

while there’s no denying that history shows the May- throughSeptember period delivers far lower stock returns than the more bullish October-throughApril time frame, implementing this rather extreme market-timing approach to investing might be a bit of overkill.

“Folks should stay invested,” says Anthony Valeri, an investment strategist at LPL Financial, adding that going to 100% cash is a “radical approach” and “another form of market-timing that we don’t advocate.”

If you look at historical performance statistics, however, it might seem like a good idea to steer clear of stocks for the next six months. Since 1929 the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has posted average returns of 5.04% in the November to April period , vs. a 1.87% gain from May to October, according to Bespoke Investment Group. The underperformance in the worst-sixmonths period has widened fur-

ther over the past 50 and 20 years, data show.

What’s more, in the past 20 years, Bespoke says, only three years have seen declines from

November to April, while eight of 20 years have seen declines from May to October.

But gains are gains. So why miss out?

“While May to October has averaged minimal gains, they’re still gains,” Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke told clients in a report.

Even the average 1.87% gain going back 100 years for the worst six-month period for stocks, or the 0.85% return the last 20 years, is superior to the current average yield of 0.11% on money market funds, according to BankRate.com.

Hickey’s advice: “Hold in May and go away.”

So what other strategies might make sense and help your bottom line while reducing your risk during the unfriendly May-to-October period?

Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, says history shows investors would have made more money and “done better rotating

than retreating.” His “seasonal substitution” strategy is about moving the cash invested in the S&P 500 stock index from October to April to less-risky and lessvolatile assets, or sectors of the market that tend to fare well from May to October.

He recommends three strategies in which you invest in the S&P 500 in the best six-month period but switch to other investments starting in May. What to own starting in May: uThe Barclays Aggregate bond index. You’ll reap better returns than holding the S&P 500 all year with lower volatility. uThe S&P 500 Low Volatility Index, which gives you more bang for your buck and less volatility than buying and holding the S&P 500 for 12 months. uDefensive sectors, such as health care and consumer staples, both which have posted nearly three times the returns of the S&P 500 in the May to October period since 1990.

MONEYLINE YAHOO’S MARISSA MAYER GETS $55M TO LEAVE Marissa Mayer, the CEO of embattled online news site Yahoo that is currently trying to sell itself, is entitled to severance benefits valued at $54.9 million in case she is terminated without cause, according to a GETTY IMAGES regulatory filMayer ing. It would also be triggered by a “change of control,” which includes the sale of the company. The amount includes cash severance of $3 million, $26,324 to continue her health benefits, $15,000 for outplacement, and — if that’s enough — nearly $52 million worth of accelerated restricted stock and options. Mayer was already paid $36 million in 2015 as her regular annual compensation.

MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY WEAK IN CHINA FOR APRIL China’s manufacturing activity was weaker than expected in April, according to a survey by an industry group. The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing says its purchasing managers’ index declined to 50.1 in April from the previous month’s 50.2 on a 100-point scale. Numbers above 50 indicate activity is expanding.

IEA CHIEF SAYS OIL PRICES MAY HAVE BOTTOMED OUT International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol said Sunday that oil prices may have bottomed out, providing that the health of the global economy does not pose a concern, Reuters reported.

Getting paid millions of dollars a year seems to be the given right of most CEOs. But a few can’t even scratch together five quarters with what they were paid last year.

There are nine current CEOs at companies in the Standard & Poor’s 1500 index — including Kosta Kartsotis of watch and accessory maker Fossil (FOSL), John Mackey, co-CEO of Whole Foods Market (WFM) and Larry Page of Alphabet (GOOGL) — who were given compensation packages valued at $50,000 or much less in fiscal 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Three of these CEOs earned $1, and two were paid nothing.

Tiny compensation packages for CEOs are the rare exThe 2006 AP PHOTO ception. median pay package of current CEOs in the S&P 1500 that have reported their data, which includes small companies in addition to the very largest, hit a median of $5.4 million during fiscal 2015. The median pay of CEOs of larger companies is usually more than twice that. There are even at least 11 CEOs who have busted through the $30 million-a-year barrier.

CEOs who accept lower salaries show employees and investors they are running the company for the long haul, not with a short-term, quarter-toquarter mentality, says Brian Connelly, the McWane Family

“When the CEO takes a low salary, they send a signal to investors, communicating with them about their commitment to the organization and its employees,” Connelly says. “The money itself does not do a whole lot, but the signal it sends to investors could be deeply meaningful.”

When it comes to sending a message, it’s hard to undercut the two CEOs who were paid nothing in 2015: Fossil’s Kartsotis and David Liniger, CEO of real estate brokerage firm RE/MAX (RMAX).

Kartsotis has received no pay for at least the past three fiscal years, sending a message that the 61-year old CEO since 2000 is in it for more than just the pay. The vote of confidence comes at a critical time for the company as it faces an existential threat from new wearable devices such as smartwatches. Fossil’s revenue fell 8% to $3.2 billion in its fiscal year ended January 2016, and net income fell 41% to $221 million.

Just because a CEO isn’t paid much doesn’t mean investors will benefit: Shares of Fossil lost twothirds of their value in fiscal 2015.

Kartsotis shared the pain, too,

though, since he owns 6 million shares, or 12.5% of shares outstanding.

Fossil wasn’t the only company with a low-paid CEO that delivered losses for investors. Five of the nine companies with the lowest paid CEOs delivered stock price declines during the same year.

Consider Whole Foods’ Mackey, who has been paid $1 a year for the past three straight years.

Before that, he was paid just $69,019.

The stock was down 17% in fiscal 2015 ended in September. The company’s net income also fell 7% to $536 million during fiscal 2015.

Many of these low-paid executives have other ways to get paid despite their low salaries. Lawrence Page, the CEO of Alphabet, has been paid next to nothing for years, including $1 a year for the past five straight fiscal years. But don’t feel too sorry for him, as he owns more than 42 million shares of the online advertising company. That gives Page a 6% stake in the company, making him the biggest single investor and a big beneficiary from the stock’s nearly 50% rise last year.

Seeing executives take low pay reassures long-term investors management is committed to the organization, Connelly says.

Academic research has shown CEOs with low salaries also “are less likely to engage in misconduct” with illegal stock option manipulation, big financial restatements and even class-action lawsuits, Connelly says.

Short-term investors, though, are less impressed.

“They are not interested in a CEO who is committed to longterm success, and they certainly are not interested in a CEO that is committed to his (or) her employees,” Connelly says. “They want results, they want them now, and they don’t care who gets stepped on along the way.”

TRAVEL ASK THE CAPTAIN

Doesn’t hurt to tell crew of something odd you see John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: Sometimes an aileron is flipped up at the gate (opposite the direction of an extended flap). Why is that?

— Brian K., Chicago A: This condition could be because of a control lock. Many airliners have hydraulic flight controls — when there is no hydraulic power available, the flight control will move because of the wind. They are designed to limit such movement to avoid damage but can remain in a deflected position until hydraulic power is reapplied. Some older jets use a control system in which the tabs fly the control surface. These controls can be deflected by the wind but will not return to their proper position until there is airflow across them.

Q: I recently had a window seat next to the wing and saw a single screw sticking up.

Should I have alerted anyone?

— D. Lamborn, Philadelphia A: Advising the flight attendant would have been a good idea. He or she would have let the captain know, and maintenance could have looked at it.

Q: On a recent flight I found that my exit door hatch over the wing whistled when the cabin wasn’t pressurized. I could also feel a breeze. I alerted the crew, but they seemed nonplussed. Was I right to notify them?

— Justin, Boston A: You were right to notify the crew. It sounds like a seal was leaking. This is not a safety issue as the over-wing exit hatch is larger than the opening, making it impossible for it to open in flight. Hopefully, they advised maintenance at the next stop.

Q: I was on a flight and there was a cold draft hitting my feet. Could this plane have had a crack or opening in the fuselage that would allow this frigid air to flow in?

— S. Henderson, Phoenix A: No, there was no opening in the fuselage. If there were, it would have been very loud from the air noise, and the pressurization system would not have been able to pressurize the airplane. I suspect the air-conditioning system was set a bit too cold.

CHINESE BUSINESS TRAVEL BOOM BRINGS OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S. COMPANIES

Corporations are clamoring for foothold in huge new market

Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

China has surpassed the USA in the amount of money spent on business travel, and industries ranging from planemakers to hotels to luggage companies are clamoring for a foothold in the massive new market.

In 2015, business travel spending by the Chinese reached $291.2 billion compared with the $290.2 billion spent by their American counterparts, according to a report from the Global Business Travel Association.

Travel spending by Chinese companies is likely to continue rising this year, increasing 10.1% to $320.7 billion vs. the 1.9% uptick to $295.7 billion spent by U.S. companies.

“I think it’s game changing,” says Michael McCormick, the GBTA’s executive director and COO. “It’s a significant milestone and a change in the order that we’ve basically had since we’ve been tracking business travel.”

Ninety-five percent of that corporate travel spending occurs inside China, McCormick says.

Companies are eagerly chasing those dollars.

In March, Hilton Worldwide opened its second China-based Hampton by Hilton hotel in the city of Guangzhou.

It will be the flagship property for a chain that will see at least 10 more hotels open in China this year, and there are roughly 30 more in the pipeline.

Hilton has partnered with the Plateno Hotels Group, a Chinese hospitality company that it says

has the largest loyalty program in China.

“At some point ... China will be the largest lodging market” in the world, says Jim Holthouser, executive vice president of global brands for Hilton Worldwide.

Though Hilton has had a presence in China for 30 years, he says, “in the last decade, we’ve really put a concentrated growth strategy in place.”

In addition to having roughly 70 hotels in China, and planning more than 200, Hilton has a program focused on Chinese visitors

“China has an incredibly dynamic aviation industry because of the rapid growth of the middle class.”

Doug Alder, Boeing spokesman

to 100 of its hotels in other parts of the world. The “Huanying” or “Welcome” program ensures a Mandarin speaker is at the front desk, a welcome note in Mandarin is left in the guest’s room, Mandarin programs are available on TV and Chinese dishes such as congee are featured on the menu.

“The program is important for us to capture as much business coming out of China as we can,” Holthouser says.

IHG, whose brands include Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza, opened 32 hotels in China last year, and as of December, had 265 properties there with more than 85,000 rooms.

In 2012, it launched a Chinabased chain called HUALUXE, which it plans to expand to cities such as New York and London to cater to Chinese visitors.

Like Hilton Worldwide, last April, IHG began its “China Ready” program, an initiative at hotels in more than 20 countries that aims to make Chinese travelers feel at home while abroad, featuring multilingual staffers and other amenities.

Boeing estimates that China’s massive need for new planes to ferry its business travelers and growing middle class will make that country Boeing’s biggest buyer of commercial aircraft over the next 20 years.

“China has an incredibly dynamic aviation industry because of the rapid growth of the middle class, tourism and business travel in a country with more than a billion people,” Boeing spokesman Doug Alder says.

Yearly per capita travel in China is roughly 0.24 plane trips per person vs. the 2.4 trips per person in the USA, he says.

“This helps to explain both the rapid growth of air travel in recent years and enormous room for growth,” Alder says.

Last year, Chinese customers took delivery of roughly onequarter of the commercial aircraft that Boeing produced.

Boeing projects that in the next two decades, China will require 6,330 new aircraft, valued at more than $950 billion. “Boeing is working to increase our market share,” Alder says, “and we will continue to collaborate with partners in China to support our market access and sales opportunities.”

Travelers serve as easy targets for ‘guilt tipping’ It’s a new kind of harassment, thanks to growing gig economy Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Feel a little guilty when you travel?

You should. You probably aren’t tipping enough.

Don’t take my word for it.

Travelers are experiencing a new kind of harassment, courtesy of the exploding gig economy. Call it guilt tipping.

You know what that is, don’t you? It’s when an employee pressures you into dropping a dollar into the tip jar with a sign (“Tips welcome”) or even asks you for a gratuity. If you don’t pay up, you’re shamed for your lack of generosity, at best — or at worst, for stealing someone’s salary.

Travelers are easy prey. Last month, Uber reached an agreement with drivers in California and Massachusetts that permits them to solicit tips from customers, even though Uber’s site says “there’s no need to tip” drivers.

Restaurants are the worst offenders. A recent Pew Research study found 3.75 million people earning near-minimum wages in the food ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

services industry. Many of them depend on gratuities and are not shy about telling customers about the arrangement.

Reputable businesses say they don’t condone guilt tipping and they don’t let their employees do it, but it’s still happening more frequently than ever. As the summer travel season heats up, you’re likely to experience it, too.

Andrew Chapados did on a recent visit to a Korean restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip. It was a disappointing dining experience from start to finish, from overpriced food to a strict no-sharing policy. When the $50 bill arrived, he skipped the tip.

“The server chased us down the street to remind us we didn’t leave a tip,” remembers Chapados, a writer from Toronto. His girlfriend forked over $3.

You don’t even have to travel to get guilt-tipped. Carol Lockerby surrendered a $20 bill after a furniture store employee requested a gratuity. She and her adult daughter had bought a bookcase, and the employee helped her load it into her car. She thanked him, then he swiveled around and said, “No tip?” Lockerby, a retired operations manager from San Francisco, says she felt sorry for the employee, who looked as if he was in his mid-60s. “That’s why I succumbed,” she explains.

The hard-sell can be bad for a business. Zondra Wilson, who runs a skin care company in Los Angeles, remembers catching a cab from Manhattan to the sub-

PHOTOBUFF VIA GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

HOW TO SAY ‘NO’ TO A TIP REQUEST A gratuity should always be optional and you should never feel pressured into leaving more money than you want. Here's how to avoid the guilt: uBe polite and firm, but don't over explain. The best way to turn down a gratuity request is with a polite but firm "no." Skip the explanation or apology. After all, you have nothing to explain or apologize for. uAvoid a confrontation. Restaurants and other establishments generally push you to offer a tip privately by discreetly slipping a few bills into your check holder. Saying "no" is easy — just leave the tip field on your credit card slip blank or decline to leave extra cash. If you're tipping on a card, don't forget to fill in the total. uUse the system to your advantage. Modern payment systems are designed to extract more money from you. But you can use them to your advantage. For example, can the employee see the tip amount you're authorizing on Square? Not always. If you don't believe you should be tipping, just click the "no tip" field and sign the screen.

urbs. “I didn’t know the fare would be well over a hundred bucks,” she says. “I had very little left for a tip. That wasn’t my intention.” The driver exploded at her inadequate gratuity.

“He started rattling about how far the cab ride was and how he needed more,” she says. “It turned me off. I use Uber now.”

How does guilt tipping work?

The two most common strategies

are perceived wealth and peer pressure, relationship expert April Masini says. “It’s ‘Everybody leaves a tip, so you should,’ ” she says.

Sometimes, the guilt tippers have an electronic accomplice.

Bob Tupper, a guidebook author from Bethesda, Md., says that when he pays his tab on Square, an electronic payment system, he’s presented with a tip option that tops out at a generous 25% of the purchase price.

“I always feel like I’m being stingy if I check the 18%,” he says.

Here’s the correct answer to the tipping question: The most reputable businesses consider gratuities to be optional and don’t condone their employees soliciting them from their customers.

“Tips are a monetary complement,” says Lawrence Shibley, part-owner of Yours Truly Restaurants, a chain of American diners local to Cleveland, “not a mandatory service charge.” He says his staff is trained to understand that a tip is a choice rather than an entitlement.

There’s another perspective on tipping. Service employees with below-minimum-wage jobs really need the gratuities to make ends meet. Travelers are pressured to pay more than the sticker price on everything from coffee to Korean barbecue — and made to feel guilty if they don’t.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK

To boost the bottom line, you must put yourself at top Freeing up more time will help improve your skills, talent and profitability

After adding two part-time workers, “the business grew because more of my time was spent on things that actually advanced the business.”

Roberta Perry, founder of Scrubzbody Natural Skin Care Products

TAKE A BREAK AND GET ACTIVE — AT THE OFFICE

Tamara E. Holmes Special to USA TODAY

When Roberta Perry started Scrubzbody Natural Skin Care Products 10 years ago, pleasing her clients was her top concern.

“I ridiculously overextended myself,” the Bethpage, N.Y.-based entrepreneur says. Eventually, the stress of running the business became unbearable. “I nearly collapsed under the pressure of it all.”

Nearly half of small-business owners work more than 50 hours a week, according to a study in 2013 by Westminster, Colo.-based business coaching and advisory organization The Alternative Board.

“Many entrepreneurs feel that we have to push harder and longer to beat out everyone else,” says Phoenix-based productivity coach Nicole Bandes. “But there’s a point of diminishing return in which the work being done is of such poor quality that it needs to be redone or scrapped all together.”

For most small-business owners it’s a toss-up as to what they have less of: money or time. No matter which you believe you have less of, investing in yourself can help you not only feel better, it can boost the bottom line. The best investment Perry could make in herself was to free up more time. After adding two parttime employees, “the business grew because more of my time was spent on things that actually advanced the business,” she says.

Instead of using hours worked as a barometer for success, smallbusiness owners should invest in themselves and their businesses will benefit, says entrepreneur and best-selling author Tony Robbins. “If you improve your-

Some of the best investments small-business owners can make have little to do with work itself.

A study in 2013 by Stanford University’s Department of Psychology found that physical activity improves brain power. Many small-business owners are too busy to exercise. “My first year of business was so busy, I found myself bringing a gym bag with me to work but being too tired at the end of my day to go,” says Kelley Kitley, owner of Serendipitous Psychotherapy in Chicago. Her solution: putting a spin bike in her office so she can work out three days a week when she gets a quick break during the day.

self, your skill, your ability, your talent, you’re going to be able to do things nobody else can do,” Robbins says.

ATTEND OUT-OF-TOWN CONFERENCES

Robbins’ message rings true for April Harter-Enriquez, owner of San Diego-based public relations firm WordPop Public Relations.

“It’s easy to keep recycling the same ideas, but as a business owner, you need to do more,” she says. She attends one out-of-town conference per year. The $1,500 she might spend on travel fees is well worth the knowledge she

comes away with, as well as the valuable connections, she says.

For example, a contact she met at a PR boot camp in Washington led to new media opportunities for her clients.

Best-selling author and entrepreneur Tony Robbins

LISTEN TO PODCASTS, TAKE ONLINE COURSES

Even without a hefty travel budget, there are ways small-business owners can incorporate training in the routine. Anne Ruffner, founder and CEO of Raleigh, N.C.-based Crubiq, a 10-employee sales firm, listens to podcasts on management topics while on her morning run. She takes online courses such as a Web programming class that taught her how to communicate better with Web developers.

“This has enabled us to work with a better flow,” she says.

Fifty-seven percent of small-business owners planned a vacation in 2014, according to lender OnDeck. Yet 76% of managers say they believe time off is important to mental health. One way Allen Walton, owner of Spy Guy Security in Dallas, gets around his hesitance to take a vacation and leave his three employees in charge is to book a non-refundable plane ticket.

“If you make it hard on yourself to cancel travel plans, you’ll accept it and end up having an awesome time,” he says.

Though it’s natural for entrepreneurs to put all their energy in their business, one of the best decisions they can make is to make their own needs a bigger priority.

“Eighty percent of the chokehold on the growth of any business is the psychology and skills of the leader,” Robbins says. “I always tell people, ‘Invest in yourself first.’ ” Contributing: Adam Shell

SBA chief urges respect, support for small businesses For starters, says Maria Contreras-Sweet, cities need to level the playing field Rhonda Abrams @RhondaAbrams Special for USA TODAY

Since 1963, the first week of May has been designated by the president of the United States as a time to celebrate entrepreneurs.

To mark the start of this year’s Small Business Week, small-business owner and USA TODAY contributor Rhonda Abrams sat down for an in-depth discussion with Maria Contreras-Sweet, the current administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Contreras-Sweet, the founder of ProAmerica Bank, talked about technology and small-business lending. She also elaborated on some of the challenges — and resources — for the nation’s estimated 28 million small businesses.

In addition, she encouraged shoppers to spend at their local stores. “When you shop at a small business, 64 cents of that dollar stays right in your neighborhood,” she says.

In turn, she adds, those neighborhood stores could become a “destination” for more consumers, leading to more job creation in the community.

“Small businesses should be respected for the role they play: Two out of three net new jobs are created by small businesses,” she says. “This is the time to celebrate small businesses.”

Here are some other thoughts from Contreras-Sweet. The following comments have been edited for clarity and content.

lenders. Currently, they’re fairly unregulated, some with interest rates as high as 40% to 60% per year. What’s appropriate for the government to do to protect small businesses?

Let me give you three answers. One is that SBA has to use technology to make it easier and more efficient for people to get loans from the SBA. To that end, we put up a program called LINC. It’s like Match.com. Answer 20 questions. We route that to all of our banks in our network, they respond, and now you’re in the driver’s seat.

Next, (current SBA) bankers said our technology was old and antiquated. We’ve invested a lot of time and effort to make sure our portal to the lending institutions is much more efficient.

Thirdly, we’ve been meeting with online solutions (such as institutional investor, peer-to-peer and crowdfunding lenders) OnDeck, Kabbage, Kiva, Kickstarter.

We have a duty to make sure there’s no abuse in the system, that people are getting the most rational rates, that there’s transparency, accountability, all the things you would expect.

What’s a main message that you would like to Q: get out there during Small

A:

Business Week?

Let’s level the playing field for small businesses. I see small businesses getting the runaround at every turn. When a corporation arrives at a municipality and says, “We’re going to locate here,” that municipality says, “We’re going to give you tax breaks; we’re going to open up this for you.” When a small business shows up in city hall, (they’re told) “Stand in line, take a ticket.”

We need to address the different needs of small business. We can create unique products, services, programs to be more responsive to the varying Americans across the country that are in different stages of their journey of entrepreneurship.

A:

How is the SBA already Q: addressing those varying needs?

If someone is in their naA: scent stage, they can go into one of our Small Business

Development Centers and get some counseling. If you’re a woman and you feel more comfortable amongst your peers, we have Women’s Business Centers.

If you’re a veteran, then you may want to visit one of our Veteran’s Business outreach centers.

For small businesses, Q: finding and managing technology, keeping up with

it, is really overwhelming.

How can the SBA help small businesses handle technology-related challenges?

We recently launched the Small Business Tech Coalition (which provides technologyfocused education and resources). We went through the

process of curating (the technologies small businesses need to get started). You may need Zenefits (which provides an online human resource management system), you may need Salesforce as a CRM (a system for customer relationship management) and you may need Facebook to get your message out. We put together a series of technologies, and over time, we’ll keep refreshing that.

Virtually every day, I get offers from new “alQ: ternative” small-business

In 2000, the funding Q: for Small Business Development Centers was $88

million — about $122 million in today’s dollars. Last year’s allocation was $115 million.

What can you tell us about these training and counseling centers?

SBDCs are marvelous resources for small businesses. SBDC consultants are passionate about the work. They help businesses navigate contracts with U.S. government and the corporate supply chain.

SBDCs are gearing up and training to navigate small businesses through the international market.

We’re bringing more technology capacity into these SBDC centers.

KANSAS BASEBALL

Short-lived

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas streak should hit 13 On paper at least, barring a major, major upset, Kansas University will earn at least a share of the Big 12 basketball title for a remarkable 13th consecutive season.

Sure, basketball games are played on hardwood, not paper, and surprises do happen. For example, not many saw it coming when Kansas State managed to grab a share of the 2012-13 title.

It’s true that Kansas lost as much firepower as anyone, when Perry Ellis used up his eligibility and Wayne Selden Jr. and Brannen Greene declared for the NBA Draft and hired agents. (Cheick Diallo has not yet hired an agent, but Kansas coach Bill Self is on the record that he expects Diallo to stay in the draft.)

It’s also true that nobody has more experienced talent returning than Kansas, and nobody has a better recruiting class.

Next season’s Big 12 won’t feature nearly as many experienced players as this past season. All five first-team selections have moved on, and Iowa State’s Monte Morris and KU’s Frank Mason III are the lone returning second-team selections.

Unless he selects Houston, instead of his other finalists, Kansas and Texas, forward Jarrett Allen will give the Big 12 four freshmen who played in the McDonald’s All-American game. Kansas has two of them — No. 1 recruit Josh Jackson, a wing, and No. 27 (per rivals.com) center Udoka Azubuike. Shooting guard Andrew Jones, who signed with Texas, is the other and was ranked No. 38.

Kansas returns three starters in Mason, Devonté Graham and center Landen Lucas, plus likely sixth man Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

Either Carlton Bragg Jr. or Allen, if KU lands him, likely would lock down the fifth starting spot.

A look at the five schools that appear to have the best shot at challenging Kansas for the Big 12 title next year: 1. Baylor: The Bears get no love in the various early Top-25 projections because they don’t have an obvious superstar and lost firstteam All-Big 12 forward Taurean Prince. What Baylor does have is depth, size, athleticism and experience.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SHORTSTOP MATT MCLAUGHLIN (5) TAGS OUT an Oklahoma runner in the Jayhawks’ 17-6 loss to the Sooners on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Jayhawks thumped in series finale

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For two innings of Sunday’s baseball series finale against Oklahoma at Hoglund Ballpark, it looked as if Kansas University were poised to finish off a sweep.

But there were signs of cracks that foreshadowed what was to come during a 17-6 loss to the Sooners that was shortened to seven innings via the Sunday mercy rule.

Freshman starting pitcher

Jackson Goddard managed to get through the first two innings without giving up a run, but the Sooners (21-22-1 overall, 7-11 Big 12) picked up a pair of hits and drew three walks, leaving the bases loaded in the top of the first and stranding two more runners in the top of the second.

In full grind mode, Goddard coerced OU into three groundouts, two fly-outs and a strikeout in the first two innings. But that success was short-lived.

OU broke through for three runs in the third — including a pair of home runs — four more in the fourth and six in the fifth to turn Sunday’s game into a one-sided affair.

Goddard was pulled after getting just one out in the fourth, and the next three Kansas pitchers combined to give up 11 runs on five hits and six walks. All 17 of OU’s runs were earned and served as a reminder of just how impressive KU’s doubleheader sweep on Saturday really was.

“It’s so hard to sweep in our league,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “The coaching is so good, and the players are so good, you see it done very, very rarely.”

After junior catcher Michael Tinsley kept his redhot season rolling with a two-run single in the bottom of the first, the Jayhawks (1924-1, 5-9) led 2-0 through two innings. Even after OU’s big third inning, KU responded Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

Five ex-Jayhawks get NFL free-agent deals

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Life in the NFL for an undrafted free agent is all about opportunity — and not just getting one.

It’s finding the right opportunity that matters the

most, and that’s why former Kansas University defensive lineman Ben Goodman elected to sign a free-agent contract with the New York Jets following last weekend’s NFL Draft, which featured 253 players taken but no Jayhawks.

Goodman, who spent his entire Kansas career playing at various positions on the D-line, will take his stab at the NFL as an outside linebacker.

The 6-foot-3, 256-pound Goodman confirmed the position change to the Jour-

nal-World on Sunday. As was the case throughout his time as a Jayhawk, Goodman sounded as optimistic and determined as ever on Sunday.

Lightfoot, a 6-foot-8, 210-pound senior from Gilbert (Ariz.) Christian High, combined with future Au-

burn guard Mustapha Heron (31 points) to lift Team Elite to a 152-134 victory over Team Future. Heron was voted MVP of Team Elite on a night Lightfoot, who had 27 points the second half, racked up the secondmost points in the six-year history of the event.

Warriors 118, Trail Blazers 106 Oakland, Calif. — From the opening tip, Klay Thompson shot lights-out and even heaved one in from way out in Stephen Curry territory. Draymond Green began yapping from the start while doing his thing to make plays every which way, calling on his teammates to bring an edge on defense.

With Curry sidelined because of a sprained right knee, Green and Thompson took charge again. Their supporting cast came through in the clutch, too.

Thompson scored 37 points in another brilliant performance as his fellow “Splash Brother” watched injured, and the Warriors dominated once more without their MVP to beat the Trail Blazers on Sunday in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals.

Kennedy helps Royals end skid, 4-1 Seattle (ap) — Ian Kennedy felt like he only had one pitch working for him against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

He was still able to take a shutout into the sixth inning — and get a big boost from his bullpen when he finally ran into trouble.

Kennedy had a threerun lead when he loaded the bases in the sixth inning on two singles and a walk. Reliever Danny Duffy came on to bail out the Royals, who went on to win 4-1 to end a fivegame losing streak.

“Danny coming in with the bases loaded right there and coming at them with great stuff was huge right there,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

“We had a three-run lead and it was starting to get away from us.”

Eric Hosmer homered, Lorenzo Cain had an RBI single and scored a run, and Alex Escobar had three hits and also scored for the Royals, who had been shut out in the first two games of this series.

BRIEFLY KU men’s golf surges to 6th

Kansas softball falls to Texas

Trinity, Texas — Three Kansas University men’s golfers shot under par to help the Jayhawks move up two spots in the final standings to tie for sixth overall at the Big 12 Championship on Sunday at Whispering Pines Golf Club.

Senior Connor Peck shot 3-under 69 Sunday and finished at 2-over 290 to place 10th overall to pace the Jayhawks.

KU’s Chase Hanna and Daniel Hudson tied for 21st at 298; Ben Welle tied for 40th at 305; and Charlie Hiller was 44th at 309.

“We played well today, and I’m happy for the guys, as they showed some fight today,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. “Connor had a very good tournament, and Dan was solid as well. Chase (5-under Sunday) had a great round of golf today after struggling the first day.”

Kansas tied with Kansas State for sixth at 1,185 (33 over). Texas won the team title at 1,138.

Oklahoma State’s Stratton Nolen was low individual at 282.

Austin, Texas — A day after a collecting a seasonbest 14 hits in a lopsided victory, Kansas University’s softball team managed just five hits — all singles — in a lopsided 6-0 loss to Texas on Sunday at McCombs Field.

Thus the Longhorns (33-14 overall, 7-7) won the three-game series, two games to one.

Kansas fell to 28-18, 5-7 in the Big 12.

Shortstop Chaley Brickey was 2-for-3 for the Jayhawks.

Monique Wesley (4-3) took the loss after allowing three runs off four hits over 31⁄3 innings. She walked four and struck out two.

Reliever Alexis Reid was rocked for three runs off three hits over just twothirds of an inning.

Kansas will close out the regular season with a six-game homestand beginning with a three-game set Friday through Sunday against Oklahoma State.

Kennedy loaded the bases in the sixth, Duffy struck out Dae-Ho Lee and Kyle Seager before Chris Iannetta hit a runscoring single. However, Jarrod Dyson easily threw out Robinson Cano

at home trying to score a second run.

“It was a big point in the game, would have been a big run with momentum and everything going in our favor, but they made a play,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.

The Royals, who came

in with seven straight road losses, extended their scoreless streak to 27 innings before ending the drought in the second. Alex Gordon started it when he was hit by a pitch. He advanced to third on a short hit

by Salvador Perez, then scored on Omar Infante’s single.

Kansas City added a run in the third on Cain’s RBI single up the middle.

The Mariners’ defense helped out the Royals in the fifth. With two outs and Cain on second base, Seattle shortstop Ketel Marte fielded Hosmer’s grounder moving toward third. Marte’s throw to first was wild, allowing Cain to score.

Wade Davis pitched the ninth for his eighth save in eight chances.

Taijuan Walker (2-1) pitched five innings, his shortest outing this season, and allowed a season-high three runs and seven hits for Seattle.

Walker had opened the season with four starts of at least six innings while allowing two or fewer runs, which tied a team record.

with two runs in the bottom of the inning on another two-RBI single from Tinsley and led 4-3 heading into the fourth. But the Sooners outscored the Jayhawks 14-2 over the next four innings, with KU’s only other runs coming in the bottom of the seventh with the game out of reach.

Tinsley finished the series 8-for-11, with a double, six RBIs and four runs scored and is now batting .393 on the season, putting him in the top three in the conference.

Senior second baseman Colby Wright and junior center fielder Joven Afenir picked up RBIs in the seventh to add to what was a productive series for both players.

“Obviously, there is going to be a lack of defense in an all-star game. No one is trying to go hard (on defense). That’s my key. I like to go hard as often as I can.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Kershaw powers Dodgers past Padres The Associated Press

National League Dodgers 1, Padres 0 Los Angeles — Clayton Kershaw pitched a three-hitter, struck out 14 and also singled home the game’s only run, leading the Dodgers past San Diego on Sunday.

Kershaw (3-1) ended the Dodgers’ six-game losing streak by pitching his 13th shutout and 22nd complete game in 248 career starts. The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner walked none and retired the first 14 batters.

Kershaw also hit an RBI single in the third off Drew Pomeranz (2-2), who gave up three hits in seven innings. Kershaw is 6-0 with an 0.98 ERA in his last nine starts against the Padres. The lefty threw seven innings of one-hit ball at San Diego on opening day in a 15-0 victory.

Chiefs gamble on trio with background issues Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs have put as much faith in their off-the-field detective work as their between-the-lines scouting the past few years, and the result has been draft gems such as Marcus Peters.

They hope similar research — and gambling — pays off this year.

The Chiefs spent a third-round pick on a cornerback who missed an entire season for violating Notre Dame’s honor code. They used a fourthrounder on a wide receiver suspended four times at Florida for drugs and other violations. In the fifth round came a speedy wide receiver that was booted out of Oklahoma State after pleading guilty to punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend.

In the sixth, a linebacker out of Virginia Tech once charged with larceny and suspended for bumping into an official.

All those picks were made in the 36 hours after Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, in town for the draft, told reporters that “character, first of all, is a very important quality.”

“You want to have as many high-character guys as you can in your locker room,” he said. “I think we’re very fortunate to have a truly outstanding locker room in regard to that point.”

The Chiefs leaned on that locker-room leadership with Peters, who had been kicked out of Washington’s program after repeated run-ins with his coach. The Chiefs spent countless hours learning the back story, and were confident enough in their assessment of his character that they took him in the first round.

Not only was he a role model last season, he was also the defensive rookie of the year.

“Not everybody is going to be the kind of leader that you would like, that you draft,” Hunt said, “but certainly you want the majority of the guys to be like that.”

Not all those picks this year are quite as shaky as they appear on the surface.

KeiVarae Russell was a standout cornerback for the Fighting Irish before academic issues threatened to sideline his career. But his suspension might have been merely a one-game penalty at schools with less rigid standards, and Russell owned his mistakes by taking junior college classes rather than transferring.

The Chiefs were impressed that he returned to Notre Dame, earned his starting job back last season and is on track to

TYREEK HILL TRIES FOR SOME YARDAGE AFTER THE CATCH in this photo from Nov. 15, 2015, during his days at Oklahoma State. Hill — who finished his college career at West Alabama — was drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

CHIEFS PICKS 2 (37) Chris Jones, dt, Mississippi State.

3 (74) KeiVarae Russell, cb, Notre Dame.

4 (105) Parker Ehinger, g, Cincinnati.

4 (106) Eric Murray, cb, Minnesota.

become the first person from his family to graduate from college.

“Obviously with something like that, you are in a time that you are stuck in kind of a deep, darkness kind of thing. Thinking about, ‘What do I do here?” Russell said. “I went to school still, I had a job. I was still taking classes. ... It was showing that I made a mistake and I wanted to come back.”

The Chiefs were just as confident that Russell had matured as they were that Demarcus Robinson, who spent 45 days in a drug-treatment facility as a freshman, had gotten past his problems.

The former Gators wide receiver was suspended three times that year, but then stayed out of trouble — Robinson says he hasn’t touched drugs since — until a one-game suspension this past season.

That was for meeting with a marketing rep, and Robinson was welcomed back by his teammates.

“There were a lot of questions, a lot of doubts.

I just had to let everyone know that was in the past,” he said. “That was my freshman year and I’m a changed guy.”

It took the Chiefs spending countless hours with Russell in Florida, along with visits with

coaches and family members, before walking away confident that he had gotten past it.

“You go into the school, talk to the staff, see how he’s grown,” Chiefs scout Ryne Nutt said. “We feel like he’s matured, like he’s been humbled. The growth in the kid kind of sold himself.”

Russell and Robinson were relatively easy sells compared to Tyreek Hill.

The speedster was dismissed from Oklahoma State’s program in December 2014 after he was accused of domestic violence. Hill wound up pleading guilty last year to assault and battery by strangulation and was sentenced to three years of probation, anger management courses and a program for domestic abusers.

It was precisely the kind of incident that has given the NFL a black eye in recent years.

“He’s a guy that had an issue in the past,” Nutt said. “We’ve done the research on it and from that, I think (general manager) John (Dorsey) was comfortable enough to take the kid.”

Dorsey was not available to discuss the selection until his post-draft availability today.

Hill spent time at Garden City Community College before joining the Cowboys, and wound up finishing his career at West Alabama. He ran a 40-yard dash in 4.24 seconds as his pro day — world-class speed by just about any measure — and could turn out to be a standout kick and punt returner.

Assuming he stays out of trouble, of course.

Like many others in recent years, it’s a gamble the Chiefs were willing to take.
