Brownback signs bill adding welfare restrictions By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill Monday that reduces the amount of time people can receive cash assistance and imposes tighter

work requirements for those people to remain eligible for the program. “It’s encouraging people to get back into the workforce sooner,” Brownback said during a bill-signing ceremony in his office. The bill is an extension

of a welfare reform bill lawmakers enacted last year called the Hope, Opportunity and Prosperity for Everyone, or “HOPE” Act, which drew national attention for limiting the types of purchases welfare recipients could make using

electronic debit cards. Under current law, there is a lifetime limit of 36 months for people to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Family benefits, or TANF. That can be extended to 48 months under certain

hardship conditions. Senate Bill 402, which its supporters call “HOPE Act 2.0,” reduces that limit to 24 months, with possible hardship extensions to 36 months. The bill requires stricter verification of all adults

living in a household that receives TANF benefits and says an entire family becomes ineligible if one adult in the household has reached his or her 24-month limit. Please see WELFARE, page 4A

Union proposes pay raises for district’s teachers By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Despite uncertainty in state funding, negotiators with the Lawrence school district’s teachers union would like to ensure all teachers see a boost in their wages next school year. At their meeting

important to teachers. “I think $250 bucks for a year comes out to what — about $20 bucks a month,” Reber said. “For each individual it’s not a tremendous amount of money, but it sends a good message either way.” Please see TEACHER, page 4A

About 80 people on Monday attended the second public input session on Lawrence’s 2017 budget, about seven times as many than attended the first. City leaders hosted the two meetings to gain feedback on what services should be prioritized as commissioners begin forming the 2017 budget. Members of Justice Matters, a consortium of 22 local religious organizations, made up most of the crowd and steered much of the conversation toward one issue in particular: affordable housing. “The day has arrived when we put some money where our mouth is on affordable housing,” said Ben MacConnell, lead organizer for Justice Matters. “This commission is different than the last several, and I think they have a mandate to be the peoples’ commission.” The two-hour discussion was punctuated by raised voices and occasional applause. The room broke out into cheers when MacConnell said: “I’ll be honest; I’ll be gravely disappointed if this City Commission doesn’t take the priority of affordable housing and do something very meaningful with it in short order.”

DONALD KEITH SPRING Donald Keith Spring passed away on Thursday, April 21st, 2016, surround ed by those who loved him, from complications of cancer. Donald lived a remarkable life. Born on July 22, 1929, in Sabetha, Kansas, to Glenn Wesley Spring and Dorothy Wilson Spring, he was preceded in death by both of his parents and his younger brother, Richard Spring. His loving wife, Beverly, survives; last December, Donald and Beverly celebrated 59 years of marriage. Daughters are Janet Schmidt of Overland Park and Carol Spring of Lawrence. Donald was the proud grandfather of Phil Schmidt of Chicago, Stephanie Schmidt Hein of Lawrence, Kayla Thawnghmung of Inde pendence, Missouri, and Steven Thawnghmung of Lawrence. Donald grew up in St. John, Kansas, where he played every sport he could: football, basketball, and track. Donald enjoyed growing up in a small community where neighbors all knew one another and opportunities to participate in the life of his high school abounded. His first job was at the small Dillon’s Market in St. John. He enjoyed playing the saxophone and was a proud member of the school band from seventh grade through his senior year. Family members noticed that model airplanes were drawn all over his band music; apparently Don was obsessed with machines of all kinds, leading to his choice of vocation. Donald attended Kansas State University graduating in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Following his college days, Don served in the Army from 1952 through 1954 at Ft. Bliss, Texas. First Lieutenant Donald Spring related many adventures to his family in his later years, some humorous and some serious. He coached the allCajun volleyball team, winning a regional championship. He also participated in the testing of the atomic bomb in the Nevada desert. Although dangerous work, he

always stated that he felt in serving his country in this manner, many others are safer today because of what was learned there. Donald worked as a mechanical engineer for Cardwell Manufacturing Company of Wichita and then the AllisChalmers Manufacturing Company in Topeka. Upon his retirement, he worked parttime for Greenbrier Real Estate, earning a reputation for personal integrity and excellence in customer service. Then he retired for good to enjoy being a grandpa. Don’s grandchildren were truly his pride and joy. A lifelong American Baptist, Donald, Beverly, and their daughters attended First Baptist Church of Topeka. Don enjoyed music of all kinds and sang in his church choir for thirty years. He also sang with the Topeka Barbershop Chorus and spent many summer evenings listening to the Topeka or Jazz Workshop Marshall’s Band concerts. When Don and Beverly moved to Lawrence in 2013, they joined First Baptist Church of and Lawrence. Faith music were central to Don’s life. A memorial celebration of his life will be held at 10 am on Saturday, May 21st at First Baptist Church, 1330 Kasold Drive. Memorial contributions may be made to the church in the name of Donald Spring, 1330 Kasold Dr. Lawrence KS 66049 or in care of the RumseyYost Funeral Home, PO Box 1260, Lawrence, KS 66044.

WINNIFRED “WINNIE”L.(HAGBERG)GETTO Winnifred “Winnie” L. (Hagberg) Getto, 98, passed away from natural causes at Bridge Haven Care Cottage in Lawrence, Kansas May 15, 2016 surrounded by her family. A memorial service will be 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, May 18 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont Street, Lawrence. A reception at the church will immediately follow the service. Winnie was born August 5, 1917 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Gustaf and Mona (Weston) Hagberg. Her father was born in Sweden and immigrated to the United States in 1909 as a boy of thirteen along with a younger sister. Winnie’s mother was born in Oklahoma. Her ancestors included six of the original passengers, or “Pilgrims”, on the Mayflower, who founded the Plymouth Colony in 1620 in what is now Massachusetts, and at least three soldiers who fought in the American Revolutionary War (on the winning side). After her mother died an early death in 1932, Winnie and her three younger sisters were sent to separate homes. Winnie lived with Rudolph and Fanny Glatthaar, a loving couple who farmed near Lawrence, and who raised her as their daughter. Winnie graduated from Lawrence High School and from the Lawrence Business College. Winnie met her future husband, Paul Getto, D.D.S., while both worked at the Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence and he attended the University of Kansas. After KU, Paul graduated in 1942 from the University of Kansas City School of Dentistry (now UMKC Dental School). Paul and Winnie were married October 10, 1942 in Montgomery, Alabama, where Paul served four years in the U.S. Army Air Force Dental Corps. Following his military service, Paul and Winnie lived two years in DuBois, Pennsylvania while Paul practiced dentistry. In 1948, they returned to Lawrence where Paul

continued to practice dentistry and oral surgery for 38 years until his retirement in 1986. In 2011, Paul and Winnie celebrated their sixty ninth wedding anniversary, two months before his death on December 21 of that year. Winnie was active in her church, in the P.E.O. Sisterhood Chapter FZ, the Douglas County Dental Auxiliary, in volunteer work for the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, the Trinity Episcopal Church Interfaith Food Pantry and many other charitable organizations. Winnie was a wonderful, as cheerful woman, beautiful inside as out. She was loved by all who knew her. Besides her husband, parents, and foster parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters Mildred Williams, Florence McKinney and June Phillips. Winnie is survived by her son Paul, and wife Kathy, of Niceville, Florida; her son Charles, and wife Carol, of her Lenexa, Kansas; daughter Jane Getto, and husband Stephen Allen, of Lawrence; and seven grandchildren. In lieu of memorial flowers, are contributions to Trinity suggested Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont Street, Lawrence 66044.

Students accused of bomb, shooting plot Wichita — Four students at a middle school near Wichita are charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with a supposed bomb-and-shooting plot. Names of the Haysville Middle School eighthgraders charged Monday in Sedgwick County were not released. It was not immediately clear if they were charged as adults, or if they have attorneys. School officials have said the alleged threat surfaced last Thursday after social media posts indicated someone was plotting to bomb and shoot people on school grounds.

Changes coming to district policies on discrimination

Triplets give back to hospital that helped save their lives By Melissa Treolo Twitter: @LJWorld

Shawnee — A number of years ago, Jill and Ty Swarts of Shawnee went to dinner to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. But they didn’t say a whole lot during the meal. “I don’t think we said five words to each other. We just blankly stared at each other the entire dinner,” Ty recalled. “We were like, ‘Wow, OK, what’s next?’” The couple were reeling from the news they had received earlier that day during a scheduled sonogram for Jill, who was six weeks pregnant: She would be giving birth to not one, not two, but three babies. As it was their first pregnancy, the two were pretty shocked to say the least.

Melissa Treolo/Journal-World Photo

LUKE, TAYA AND BRADY SWARTS ARE PICTURED just outside the NICU of Overland Park Regional Medical Center, where they were born 10 years ago. “It was both our parents’ first grandchildren,” Ty said. “It went from zero to wow, you’re really jumping in.” Before too long, shock turned to excitement for

the expectant parents. And 26 weeks later, on April 14, Jill delivered fraternal triplets, all weighing less than 4 pounds. The babies were born eight weeks early, which is typical for

triplets, Jill said. But it took three weeks in the neonatal intensive-care unit, or NICU, at Overland Park Regional Medical Center before brothers Luke and Brady and sister Taya were deemed healthy enough to be taken home by their new parents. Those triplets are now healthy, 10 years old and in fourth grade at Belmont Elementary School in the De Soto school district. Jill still clearly recalls, however, the level of service and support her family received from the NICU

After a student flew a Confederate flag at a Lawrence school earlier this year, changes to district policies that would prohibit more forms of discriminatory behavior are in the works. The changes would prohibit offensive symbols and “microaggressions,” both of which district leaders say will not infringe on students’ freedom of expression. “We had talked in broad terms about how

we might handle this without being so specific as to create a constitutional violation, and use phases like symbols,” David Cunningham, director of human resources and legal services for the district, told the board’s policy advisory committee at its meeting Monday. The policy advisory committee recommends potential changes to district policies to the school board, which has the final say as to whether they are adopted. Please see POLICY, page 4A

Welfare

public assistance and determine whether they are still eligible. “Most importantly, the HOPE Act is about bringing people out of poverty, giving them the training and the job assistance to get them out of poverty,” said Rep. Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita, who chairs the House Health and Human Services Committee. The bill also repeals one of the more controversial provisions of last year’s legislation, which said TANF recipients could not withdraw more

than $25 a day from an ATM machine using their electronic benefits cards. Because most ATM machines do not dispense $5 bills, that effectively limited them to $20 per day. Meanwhile, critics of the HOPE Act say it has failed to achieve its goals, noting that while the number of people receiving public assistance has declined, there has been no corresponding decrease in the Kansas childhood poverty rate. “The so-called HOPE Act hurts the poorest families in Kansas,” said

including mental health drugs, when lower-cost drugs in the same category are available. That provision, known as “step therapy,” says that in most cases, patients must try lowercost drugs that are on the state’s preferred drug list for at least three months before they can move to the more expensive drugs, even when their doctor specifically prescribes the more expensive medication. Until now, Kansas was one of only a handful of states that did not use preferred drug lists or step therapy for mental health drugs, including expensive antipsychotic medications, which are the single most expensive class of drugs in the Medicaid program. Supporters of that provision, though, say it will mean substantial savings for the state, including $10 million just in the first Step therapy fiscal year, a savings that In addition to the wel- was built into the budget fare-reform provisions, bill that is still awaiting the bill signed into law Brownback’s signature.

there were some small, initial misgivings among the siblings as the pajama drive their mother proposed would be in lieu of birthday presents, they were quickly on board with the idea. “Because it’s better to give than to receive,” Taya said. And so Project PJ was born. Jill said the drive was started initially with an email to close friends and family, telling them about the idea and asking for donations of pajamas for premature and newborn babies. “And from there it just kind of grew,” she said. Over the course of about eight weeks, up until the triplets’ birthday on April 14, donations began pouring in through the mail and also at school. A lot of the time, the donations came in threes in honor of the three siblings, Jill said. Their initial goal, Luke said, was to gather at least 100 pairs of pajamas.

“We thought if we could collect 100, that would be awesome,” Jill said. “And as the numbers started to grow closer to 100 (within only about four weeks), we got even more excited to see how big this could get.” Ultimately, 205 pairs of pajamas were collected through the drive. And after their birthday arrived, the siblings delivered that collection of pajamas in a wagon personally to the NICU staff at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. “I think it was really nice to do this because I don’t think the parents were expecting that people would give preemie PJs to the babies,” Luke said. “It just made me feel good to donate all these PJs.” Though the hospital already has a collection of premature- and newbornsized pajamas, NICU social worker Elaine Riordan said it’s the story behind the drive that will be of the most benefit to

parents. She said about 10 to 15 pairs of the donated pajamas have already been given out to parents thus far, and the hospital plans to share the story in some way to each parent who receives pajamas through Project PJ. “There’s always this little doubt in their mind that maybe we’re not going to make it. So this story of 10-year-old preemies coming back, giving back is very inspirational to parents that are stepping into that role right now. It’s very inspirational to see the vision of where my baby is going to be like these babies in 10 years,” she said, gesturing to Luke, Taya and Brady sitting together on a couch in the lobby of the NICU. “This is the dream.” And seeing one’s baby — previously only clothed in a diaper or blanket as necessitated by the level of care they require in the NICU — in a pair of actual pajamas is a pretty big deal

for parents struggling with the fear and worry that can come with babies born prematurely, Riordan said. “It’s a kind of a big day when parents come in and their babies are finally in baby clothes,” she said. That day of seeing their own babies in pajamas for the first time is one Jill and Ty won’t ever forget. “I just think we knew we were that much closer to bringing them home,” Jill said. Among the triplets, the recent pajama drive has inspired a desire to continue paying it forward in the future. “We think every 10 years we’re going to do something big,” Luke said. Every 10 years even up until they reach age “100,” added Taya excitedly. A look of pride took over Jill’s face as she listened to such statements from her children. “It makes my heart happy,” she said.

Thursday, and will submit a budget proposal for next school year to the board in July. Reber told administrators that without an increase in base pay, about half the district’s teachers would not see a raise next school year because they have already reached the maximum pay for their level of experience and education. “When we look at our demographics, more or less about half of our people are maxed out,” Reber said. “And if we don’t add anything per cell (in base pay), then those people basically are stagnant.” After the LEA submitted the salary proposal, negotiators for both sides met in a closed session. After about 45 minutes, an agreement was still not reached and an additional meeting was scheduled. Teacher contract negotiations will continue at 4:30 p.m. June 7 at district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Kasold

will present a project planning overview and a summary of public concerns shared with the department, said Keith Browning, Douglas County Public Works director. It will be the first of several meetings in the coming weeks with the public and county and city officials before KDOT reveals its final decision on Kasold Drive, Browning said. That process would end with KDOT presenting a summary of its chosen alternative to the City Commission on June 21 and County Commission on June 22. Those presentations will come with requests both bodies vote to support the chosen alternative, he said. Other dates in the planning timeline are:

l A May 31 presentation of a technical planning summary on intersection proposals to city and county staff. l A June 1 public open house on intersection proposals. Browning said KDOT had not released a time or place for the meeting. l The June 7 presentation of a final report and recommendations to the Douglas County and Lawrence City commissions and city and county staffs. The Douglas County Commission meets at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. For a complete agenda, visit douglascountyks.org.

staff at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. “Wonderful,” she said. “For some reason, throughout the entire pregnancy I was never scared. And the time that they spent in the NICU wasn’t scary, and I think it’s because we had such a great support team.” That’s why Jill wanted to give back to the facility that had helped her family so much a decade ago. So in February, she approached her three children with an idea. “I said, ‘In thinking about your birthday and turning 10, we wanted to do something memorable and special,’” Jill said. “‘How would you feel if we paid it forward and decided to donate pajamas back to the NICU where you were born?’” Though Luke said

In April, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a school funding bill that supporters hope will satisfy the Kansas Supreme Court, which has declared parts of the current funding system inequitable. The court heard oral arguments in the case last week, and justices are expected to decide the equity portion of the case in coming weeks. Also undetermined is whether overall funding for public schools is sufficient. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in that portion of the case later this spring or early summer. For this school year, the Lawrence district’s total operating budget expenditures are estimated at about $102 million, with about $82 million of that going toward wages or benefits. The district’s finance advisory council has its second meeting on

local government officials. The Douglas County and Lawrence City commissions joined the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Wakarusa Township and Wakarusa Township Fire Department in sending letters to KDOT in March supporting keeping the intersection open. At a public meeting last month at Kansas University’s Lied Center, KDOT State Transportation Engineer Jerry Younger told a crowd of about 75 people the department was trying “awfully hard” to develop alternatives to closing the intersection that balance interests. At Wednesday’s work session, KDOT officials

Shannon Cotsoradis, the outgoing executive director of Kansas Action for Children. “Even parents who have found jobs may not be earning enough to feed their families. Cutting off critical lifelines to Kansas’ most economically fragile children merely perpetuates the cycle of poverty that the governor claims to be committed to reducing.” She said more than 900 Kansas children have lost access to cash assistance since the first HOPE Act went into effect in January, limiting lifetime benefits to 36 months, and that more children will lose access when the new law takes effect. DCF officials estimated the new law will reduce the TANF rolls by 424 households in its first year. There are currently about 4,900 households enrolled in the TANF program.

Cunningham is on the committee along with board members Vanessa Sanburn and Shannon Kimball. The committee’s recommended additions are being made to three district policies: discrimination and harassment; hazing and bullying; and prohibited activity. Previously, those policies only prohibited verbal, physical and written discrimination or harassment. The committee is recommending the policies be expanded to include symbols and microaggressions. The committee’s recommended addition to the district’s discrimination and harassment policy states: “Harassment can be a result of direct verbal or physical conduct or the use of written material or symbols. Harassment can also be the result of microaggressions, which are subtle but offensive comments or actions directed at a minority or other nondominant group that are often unintentional or unconsciously reinforce a stereotype.” The committee is also recommending that microaggressions be added to the district’s hazing and bullying policy. If the board votes to adopt the changes, Sanburn said she thinks discussions would need to take place with building administrators to make sure policies regarding microaggressions are properly enforced. “I do think this change is important, but I think that it won’t be helpful if we don’t do a good job of helping prepare principals to be able to enforce it appropriately,” Sanburn said. Recommended additions to the prohibited activity policy will also include the use of symbols under prohibited gang activity. Committee members said that addition would protect students against white supremacy groups that use the Confederate flag. The committee began considering policy changes after a student petition gathered hundreds of signatures in support of a district policy banning the flag. The petition was submitted to the board in March after a Free State student flew a full-sized Confederate flag from his pickup truck that he parked on school grounds. After about a week, the student was told by school administration that he could no longer bring the flag to school because it was disrupting the learning environment. Committee members have previously said the policy changes will allow school administrators to take more immediate action in the future. The committee’s recommendations will be sent to the school board for discussion at its meeting on June 13. The board will vote on whether to adopt the recommendations on June 27. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314 or rvalverde@ljworld.com.

The law provides an exemption from the work requirement for people taking care of an infant less than 3 months of age, but it also provides that the exemption does not apply if at least one adult in the household has exhausted the 24-month lifetime limit for TANF. It also requires the Department for Children and Families to verify the identity of all adults living in a household where any adult receives TANF benefits, and provides that people can lose their eligibility if they do not cooperate in a welfare fraud investigation.

Right choice

Tricky year for presidential pollsters By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Kansas University’s new provost brings many important assets to the job.

hen U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped out of his spacecraft and onto the surface of the moon, he said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The announcement that Kansas University School of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi will become KU’s new provost may not rival the moon landing, but it represents a “giant leap” forward for the university. Bendapudi has made huge positive changes at KU, both as dean of the business school and through her enthusiasm, commitment and vision, which has infected the entire campus. As provost, her vision and unbounded energy are sure to revive faculty morale and contribute to far better understanding and cooperation between the university and the Kansas Legislature. The two previous provosts, Richard Lariviere and Jeff Vitter were good, smart and talented individuals, but they were unable to inspire faculty and did not do a good job of building relationships with state legislators. Traditionally, a provost serves as the “inside” leader of the university, taking care of the academic side of the institution, while the chancellor takes care of the “outside” affairs of the school. However, in recent years, the provost has been carrying increased responsibility for telling the university’s story and impressing on state legislators the important role that KU plays in the state. It’s no secret KU’s image and support among Kansas legislators has not been strong, and, on campus, morale among faculty has been poor. Bendapudi also will ignite increased enthusiasm and support for the university among alumni and friends. In her presentation to the faculty during the provost interviews, she acknowledged the university will face serious challenges for the next several years. Among the challenges she noted are the continuing cuts in state fiscal support and the need for far better communication both with state lawmakers and the faculty. Bendapudi is moving into the provost’s office at a critical time for KU, but there is every reason to believe she will be able to bring about many positive results just as she did at the School of Business. She will indeed represent “one giant leap” for the university.

Ray Fair of Yale University says that if his election forecasting model is correct, the Republican nominee is likely to win the presidency by a convincing margin. John Sides of George Washington University agrees; the “fundamentals,” he says, give the Republican about a 60 percent chance of winning. Alan Abramowitz of Emory University gives Republicans a solid shot at the White House too; his model gives the GOP the edge — but in “a very close election.” But thanks to Donald Trump, their carefully honed forecasting models may have lost their predictive magic — a possibility the professors themselves acknowledge. “This time may be different,” Abramowitz told me last week. For decades, political scientists and economists have concocted statistical models to try to predict presidential elections even before the actual campaigns were under way. Their aim wasn’t merely to pull off the parlor trick of predicting a winner; more important (to them, at least) was figuring out what makes voters tick. Their underlying theory was that most voters’ behavior stems from a combination of fundamental factors and not from anything the candidates say or do. Abramowitz’s model, for example, uses three factors: economic growth, the current president’s popularity, and how long the incumbent party has held the White House. Starting with that last item: It’s hard for one party to keep the White House for

“

One of the potential problems with the models in an election like this one is that they assume voters aren’t really paying much attention to politics. The models — and their underlying theories of voting behavior — rest heavily on how voters feel about the economy on Election Day.” a third term, as Hillary Clinton is trying to do. It’s only been done once in the last half century, when George H.W. Bush succeeded the popular Ronald Reagan in 1988. Abramowitz calls this the “time for a change” factor, and it puts the presumptive Democratic nominee at a significant disadvantage. Right now, the economic fundamentals don’t look good for Clinton either. Most forecasts suggest that growth will remain well below 3 percent all year, a sluggish rate that favors the party out of power. Obama, on the other hand, is actually helping Clinton’s chances; his job approval rating in the Gallup Poll has averaged about 50 percent over the last six months, just high enough to give her a chance of winning. Add all three factors together, and the result is “close to 50-50, maybe a little below” for the Democrat, Abramowitz said. “So based on the fundamentals, you would expect this to be a very close election.”

Now add a new factor: Trump. A model like Abramowitz’s “doesn’t take into account attributes of the candidates. It captures arguably the most important things, but not everything,” Sides told me. “These forecasting models assume that you have mainstream candidates who will unify each party,” Abramowitz conceded. “Trump doesn’t fit that pattern. He’s off the charts. And it’s very hard to predict how that’s going to play out.” Despite the chilly indifference of the forecasting models, he noted, candidates and their campaigns do matter. In 1972, Democrat George McGovern did worse than the models would have predicted, presumably because many voters saw him as too far to the left. In 1988, Michael Dukakis also did worse than the models predicted, “probably because he had the worst campaign in recent memory,” Abramowitz said. So even though the forecasting models say this should be a Republican year, the polls don’t agree. An average of recent polls puts Clinton ahead of Trump, 47 percent to 42 percent. The Iowa Electronic Market, one of several “prediction markets” that crowdsource forecasting, projects that Clinton will win 58 percent of the popular vote. And the conventional wisdom among pundits — not that we’ve been particularly prescient of late — is that Clinton could win in a landslide. Trump isn’t just disrupting the Republican Party, he’s disrupting political science too.

One of the potential problems with the models in an election like this one is that they assume voters aren’t really paying much attention to politics. The models — and their underlying theories of voting behavior — rest heavily on how voters feel about the economy on Election Day. In a sense, they suggest that voters decide many elections on the basis of James Carville’s slogan from the 1992 campaign: “It’s the economy, stupid.” That’s not entirely rational. As political scientists Christopher M. Achen and Larry M. Bartels point out in their recent book, “Democracy for Realists,” voters who choose based on the economy are often holding an incumbent president and his party responsible for events beyond his control. (Besides, they note, economic voters choose based on how the economy is doing in the months before Election Day, not during a president’s entire term.) “The result of this kind of voter behavior is that election outcomes are in an important sense random,” they write – a matter of whether a given president has been lucky or not. “Economic voting may be little more than a high stakes game of musical chairs.” Love him or loathe him, Trump may have changed the equation, forcing voters to think more about whom they want in charge instead of letting GDP growth rates effectively determine their preference. He’s made voting important again.

To the editor: The sidewalk editorial in the JournalWorld of May 6 was interesting. Fortunately, the city has not built sidewalks in my neighborhood. Sometime back, the city indicated that it was not high enough on their priority list to spend the money. If the city should build a sidewalk on my street, why should I be responsible for its maintenance any more than the street in front of my property? Although I do use the street once or twice a day, at 97, I probably would never use the sidewalk. It would be for public use, as is the street. The city should be responsible for all maintenance of both street and sidewalk. Vincent U. Muirhead, Lawrence

Not a new issue To the editor: Listening to the outcry from those opposed to transgender youths using the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity rather than the gender on their birth certificates, one easily could reach the conclusion that, all of a sudden, bathrooms will become unsafe places. Really? You mean that the idea of entering a school bathroom has never sparked real terror in the heart of a young teenage girl who knows that the minute she enters that space she will face, from some of those “mean girls,” all manner of ridicule about her (insert

characteristic here)? Bathrooms have been safe spaces until now? Really? An adolescent male student has never avoided the bathroom due to the certainty of a few of his less socially evolved peers lying in wait to make fun of his (insert characteristic here)? Gender separated bathrooms foster privacy and well-being? Really? So, no young person has had to walk into a bathroom stall and read disgusting, insulting, even soul-piercing graffiti aimed at humiliating him or her? Swirlies, bathroom beatings, milk-money thefts and bathroom pot-smoking lunches are just the stuff of urban legend, myth, teen-angst movies? Really? And, no young boy has ever been assaulted in a bathroom by a member of his own gender? No young girl ever forced to do anything against her will by a member of her own gender? I guess not, if you consider the utter lack of sustained outcry about any of these life-altering incidents that apparently have NOT been happening. Since public bathrooms came into existence. Really. Diane M. Welchhans Lawrence

Privacy concern

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 17, 1916: years “Although supago posed to give IN 1916 instruction in all the latest wrinkles in business activities, no merchant’s short course has ever yet given lessons in entomology. Strange as it may seem, grave Lawrence business men are now engaged in this pursuit. It has all come about through the nefarious activities of the canker worm in the elm trees. A committee from the merchants’ association has been assigned the pleasant duty of investigating this energetic little pest both in its domestic life and its gay gambols among the green leaves. All the dark corners of its character will be brought to light. Is the visit of this unwelcome guest limited to three years? This is the question that is going to be settled beyond a reasonable question of a doubt. Amateur entomologists have advanced the theory that the worm appears in cycles and a friendly call will last but three years. Whether this is true may determine whether or not Lawrence as a city will become the owner of a powerful spraying machine. If the last year of the visit is at hand no special celebration for the departing guests will be arranged. If the pests are to be among the trees indefinitely, the merchants’ association will lend its influence to have the city buy the machine to preserve the beauty of Lawrence.” “‘There will be no change in the interurban’s plan of crossing the river,’ W. R. Taylor, general manager of the construction work for the Kansas City, Kaw Valley & Western company said today in discussing the recent flood damage to the interurban’s piling structure. Mr. Taylor, who has his office at Bonner Springs, was in Lawrence this morning checking up the damage done.... Men in skiffs went down the river yesterday afternoon and this morning hunting for timbers composing the bents of the bridge which were swept away by the waters and driftwood during the high water.”

to me afterward and say, ‘But you cut this.’ I will cut some things, OK?” Some of the savings could come from a reduction in city staff. Markus said he worked out cutbacks through attrition in his previous two city manager positions in Michigan and Iowa. “I’m going to hear back from people because they won’t like the fact I’m not creating employment opportunities at City Hall,” Markus said. “But with this tax lid law, additional mandates to us… as the city manager, whose responsibility it is to prepare and present a budget to the City Commission, this burden ultimately comes to me.” Markus will present his recommended budget to the City Commission in July. Commissioners will pass a budget in August. The next step in the budgeting process is a 3 p.m. work session May 24, at which commissioners will review and score applications for capital improvement projects. A public comment period on the 2017 budget is scheduled for the City Commission’s regular meeting May 24. “When you start talking about a $200 million budget, it’s a good idea to find out from the public and the taxpayers how they would like to see that money spent,” Mayor Mike Amyx said Monday. “We’re still in the beginning stages. There’s going to be ample time for everybody to speak and express their opinion.” — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

Like at the first meeting May 12, community members were asked to place stickers next to 21 different city services, indicating whether they wanted each service to receive lessened, equal or more funding than it has in the past. Besides affordable housing, other issues for which Justice Matters advocates — mental health and social services — received the most votes for more funding. Most participants were also in favor of bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Marilyn Hull, who chairs Lawrence’s PedestrianBicycle Issues Task Force, asked that commissioners consider opinions from others in attendance and not only those of Justice Matters. She wanted to prioritize creating and maintaining city sidewalks and ADA-compliant ramps. “I applaud them in bringing those important issues to the attention of the community, but they haven’t, however, picked out all of the important issues,” Hull said of Justice Matters. “I want to make sure we don’t jump to say, ‘These are the priorities of the community,’ at the exclusion of other things that have also been articulated.” A dozen or so people spoke Monday in favor of funding for affordable housing, and about another 30 stood when asked by a Justice Matters member who was there principally to advocate for affordable housing.

When asked repeatedly which services should be deemphasized in order to allow for more funding toward affordable housing, the group was reluctant to offer ideas. Last week, City Manager Tom Markus told a much smaller group “belt-tightening” must be part of the 2017 budget discussions. Markus again named challenges Lawrence is facing: a property tax lid effective in 2017, unfunded mandates from the Kansas Legislature and a city budget in which “balance hasn’t been that great.” City Finance Director Bryan Kidney has said the main fund for public services will continue decreasing over the next five years if the city continues making and spending money at the same rate it is now. One Justice Matters member suggested cutting back on street maintenance; another said tourism should receive less; and several criticized the city’s use of economic development incentives. Using the sticker system, the services that received the highest number of votes for less funding were: arts and culture, parks and recreation, tourism and economic development. But Markus told the group that coming up with a source of funding for affordable housing was “really not your responsibility.” “Clearly, I’ve heard about affordable housing. I get it,” he continued. “We’re going to allocate money; how much, I don’t know yet, but we have to start. But don’t come back

Without Scalia, high court stymied Contraceptive cases sent to appeals level to find compromise Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court decided not to decide Monday whether religious objectors must play a role in offering contraceptive coverage to their employees, sending seven cases back to federal appeals courts in search of an elusive compromise. The unanimous ruling was another example of the eight-member court’s inability to settle cases after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death and the impasse between President Obama and Senate Republicans over his replacement.

Expert casts doubt on awards for rescue early in Iraq War

The names of the SEALs were redacted, and Lynch is not named. The citations refer to the date and place she was rescued. Circumstances surrounding Lynch’s rescue, and whether the military trumped them up to bolster support for the war, prompted a Pentagon probe and congressional hearings.

At Buffett’s Berkshire, Apple buy sign of change Stock decisions may be shifting to lieutenants Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor and a long-time critic of tech stocks, is now the proud owner of nearly 10 million shares of iPhone maker Apple. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway emerged Monday as a big buyer of Apple stock. Buffett also added to his sizable stake in struggling IBM. And he said he’d be willing to use his cash hoard to help finance another investors’ bid for Yahoo. Berkshire’s front man is still the billionaire investor, now 85. But change is afoot at the giant conglomerate, witnessed by a

more aggressive move into areas of the market that Buffett once steered clear of — such as tech stocks — and increasing signs AFP/GETTY IMAGES that decisions Warren on what stocks Buffett to buy and sell appear to be shifting to investment lieutenants that Buffett himself brought in a few years back. Buffett’s Berkshire made big news Monday when it revealed in a regulatory filing that in the first quarter it had built a 9.8 millionshare stake in iPhone maker Apple worth nearly $1.1 billion at the end of March. But as experts had theorized, and as Buffett confirmed to The Wall Street Journal,

RICHARD WOLF, USA TODAY

Supporters of religious nonprofit organizations rally outside the Supreme Court during oral arguments.

By sending disputes over the Affordable Care Act’s “contraceptive mandate” back to lower courts, the justices all but assured that the issue won’t get resolved before a new president is elected, which could portend even greater changes for Obamacare. “My suspicion is that if we had nine Supreme Court justices instead of eight, there might have been a different outcome,” Obama told the website BuzzFeed in a live-streamed interview. Already this year, the high court has deadlocked 4-4 in three cases, including a major labor rights case, and has greatly reduced the number of new cases it is accepting for next term. On Monday, it also sent a major class action case back to a federal appeals court for further action. The justices are hoping to find a way to honor the objections of religious non-profit groups, such as charities and hospitals, while still guaranteeing free birth control to their employees. The battle over Obamacare’s contraceptive coverage was one of the high court’s biggest issues this term. In 2014, the court ruled 5-4 that for-profit corporations whose owners objected to the rule could have insurance plans deliver the health benefit directly.

Global warming hits record temps, cooking coral reefs Six months after summit, issue worse Gregg Zoroya and Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Six months after 195 nations vowed tougher action to curb global warming, the problem has only grown worse, with higher accumulations of greenhouse gas emissions, record worldwide temperatures and widespread coral bleaching from hotter ocean waters. On top of that, a new United Nations report documents in-

creased pollution levels for the world’s cities. The primary greenhouse gas that leaders at a global summit in Paris last December agreed to reduce — carbon dioxide (CO2) released from burning of fossil fuels — is now fixed above the historic milestone of 400 parts per million that was reached for the first time last year. The worsening reports come as the U.N. convened a climate conference in Bonn, Germany, on Monday to assess the global warming problem. In the planet’s Northern Hemisphere, where most of the world’s population lives and burns fossil

fuels, a benchmark reading from the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii reached a monthly average of 407.42 parts per million in April. In the slightly cleaner South-

ern Hemisphere, readings from an Australian measuring station surpassed 400 parts per million last week, according to Australian scientists.

The rate of 400 parts per million is significant because the planet hasn’t seen that much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for millions of years. “This is the new normal. This isn’t going away,” said Pieter Tans, chief greenhouse gas scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A drumbeat of increasingly hotter temperatures continues, according to NOAA. Tans said a direct result of accumulating CO2 is warmer, more acidic ocean waters creating havoc with coral formations by bleaching great stretches of reefs in the world’s oceans.

Educator sees heartbreak of Syria up close Asma Akhras

Special for USA TODAY

“Breathe, Khalid.” “Breathe, Khalid.” “Breathe, Khalid.” We are in a white van used to transport Syrian refugees to medical facilities, and the driver has beads of sweat coming down his face. Serious-looking with dark sunglasses and a clean white professional shirt, he’s focused on getting us to the emergency room of a nearby hospital as fast as he can. We couldn’t wait for a taxi or an ambulance anymore. Dr. Naveed Iqbal is calmly sitting in the passenger seat focused on Khalid’s breathing, holding an asthma inhaler and thinking how to approach a variety of potential medical scenarios. I’m the interpreter, sitting in the back seat next to Khalid and his mom. Khalid is sitting on his mother’s lap. Her hands are wrapped securely around him, and he is quite overwhelmed. (We are not using Khalid’s last name because of his family’s concerns about their security.)

“You could do it sweetie. Hang on. Every breath counts. Please God don’t take him.” I remind the boy of the story of the hero quoted and praised in Islamic history whom Khalid is named after. He smiles a warm smile that makes his big brown eyes gleam and exude childhood innocence even more. I am on my first medical mission organized by SAMS (Syrian American Medical Society), where I went as an interpreter for medical personnel in Amman, Jordan. We were the largest team yet serving Syrian refugees at the United Nations’ Zaatari camp and in free clinics surrounding Amman. People flee because they have no other real choice. Many shared stories of walking barefoot with children for days on end, leaving behind their homes, families and country, searching for safety, a basic human right. Khalid’s breathing is starting to slow. His pupils begin to move to the right and look droopy. Breathing is exhausting him. It is a challenge. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Khalid is looking sweetly into my eyes. I try to engage him to help him continue breathing. “What color are my eyes?” As we look into each other’s eyes, I real-

My heart melts. My eyes begin to flood with tears. Hold them back! An innocent 5- or 6-year-old, a courageous, lovable, precious boy, stuck in this situation because of a brutal conflict and because so many leaders have chosen to turn their backs on him and many others like him. A respiratory infection developed in the camp triggered Khalid’s asthma, creating severe

respiratory distress. The doctor saved his life by getting him an inhaler and taking him to the ER to get oxygen and get him stable. Now, as I try to make the transition back to my life, I find it hard to let go of my experiences, the people I met, the stories I heard, the need to advocate for the suffering refugees — and my Khlaid. I try to ignore the news coming from the social media campaign “#Aleppo burning.”

But how can I? On May 3, Dr. Joanne Liu, international president of Doctors Without Borders, told the United Nations Security Council, “Last Wednesday, airstrikes obliterated Al Quds Hospital in Aleppo. They blew apart at least 50 men, women and children. ... There were almost 300 airstrikes in Aleppo over the last 10 days. Civilians, often in crowds, were repeatedly struck. What are individuals in wars today? Expendable commodities, dead or alive.” I decided to text Kareem Absi, a SAMS employee who worked with us and supported our mission: “I would really like to Skype with Khalid. Is this something you think you could arrange? ... I will pay all costs. I’m currently working on getting him a nebulizer machine that is more helpful for his health. Please if it’s too hard, no worries.” The reply: “Hi Asma. Please send me his phone number. I will visit him and let you talk with him. Any help I am ready.” I’m anxiously waiting to hear back to see if he can set something up. I never thought the saving of a life could have such an impact on me.

Medal citation wording ‘a little over the top’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Mears reviewed the citations and noted the contrast between those issued for Lynch’s rescue from an Iraqi hospital and those for later missions. The language in the operation to rescue Lynch was “a little over the top,” he said. “These read very much like embellished evaluation reports, not citations for gallantry in action,” Mears said.

ties to recognize valor. The citations for both men refer to their leadership of “a brilliant surgical air and ground assault to seize key areas of the hospital.” One citation states, “The strategic significance of the first successful rescue of a U.S. POW is epic as it devastated Iraqi resolve and bolstered U.S. and international support for the campaign.” That compares with the spare language used to describe the hostage rescue in 2012 of American doctor Dilip Joseph in Afghanistan, an operation that resulted in Navy SEAL Edward Byers being awarded the Medal of Honor. The citation for Byers reads, in part, “His bold and decisive actions under fire saved the lives of the hostage and several of his teammates.”

the Apple buy was not the work of the Oracle of Omaha himself. Instead, it was executed by one of the two ex-hedge fund managers he hired a few years ago who now manage a big chunk of Berkshire’s stock portfolio. Indeed, the Apple stock purchase was likely the brainchild of Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, the money managers Buffett brought in to pick stocks for the conglomerate when he’s gone. The addition of the two stock pickers is resulting in a broadening out of the types of stocks Berkshire invests in — and which ones are jettisoned. Buffett is better known for his own stock picks, which include iconic American companies such as Coca-Cola, American Express and IBM. While Buffett has repeatedly said he has no plans to quit, the fact that the new Apple position has the fingerprints of Combs or Weschler suggests that the transfer of responsibility on the stock picking side of the business is well underway. “It continues the transition away from Buffett and the broadening of the portfolio away from areas of the market only Buffett is comfortable with,” says Jeff Matthews, general partner at hedge fund Ram Partners. Buffett’s name also made headlines over the weekend and early Monday when he confirmed to CNBC that he would consider helping to finance Quicken Loans’ Dan Gilbert’s bid to buy Yahoo. But Buffett admitted that tech is still not his thing and that he would not buy stock in Yahoo. “Yahoo is not the type of thing I’d ever be an equity partner in,” Buffett told CNBC. “I don’t know the business and wouldn’t

Another SEAL, who burst into the Taliban hide-out where Joseph was held, killed one of the captors, dragged out a mortally wounded comrade and returned to kill the last militant, “saved the lives of ... several of his teammates, enabling the strategic success of the mission,” according to his citation for the Silver Star. The narratives in the Lynch rescue lack examples of such individual feats of heroism — the key factor in awarding the medals, Mears said. Mears suggested that the tim-

ing of the awards, at the beginning of what was expected to be a short war, may have prompted senior leaders to push for them. “This would potentially limit future opportunities for valor and associated recognition, perhaps spurring a race to submit recommendations before the end of perceived combat operations,” Mears said. “Ironically, it’s a safe bet that the same special operators who received those awards under seemingly dubious circumstances likely went on to participate in

other operations with far more potential for heroism.” Lynch’s rescue was the subject of congressional hearings and an investigation by the Pentagon inspector general over concerns raised by members of Congress that it might have been staged for public relations purposes. In testimony in 2007, Inspector General Thomas Gimble found that the rescue, which was filmed, was “a valid mission to recover a U.S. POW under combat conditions.” The rescue operation involved Navy SEALs, Marines, Army Rangers and Air Force personnel. Gimble told Congress that the troops “received enemy fire from the hospital” and surrounding buildings but “neutralized” those forces without suffering casualties.

IBM holding at last month’s shareholder meeting and added slightly to his position in the just-completed first quarter by about 200,000 shares, according to SEC filings. The influence of Combs and Weschler on Berkshire’s holdings were apparent when Buffett recently cited Combs’ stock investment and positive impression of aerospace parts maker Precision Castparts as a key reason why Buffett made Precision its biggest acquisition ever, a $37 billion deal which closed in January. Still, while things are changing at Berkshire, the investment philosophy of buying established companies with staying power and top-flight management at good prices remains very much the same. “Honestly, I don’t think (the Apple buy) signifies any dramatic change at Berkshire,” Matthews says. “(Berkshire is) always looking for investments that they think make sense. And they think Ap-

ple makes sense,” he says. What’s changing at Berkshire is the people making many of the buy-and-sell decisions. “Buffett is getting less involved in investment decisions, but at the same time Berkshire is still looking for what they consider is good value,” says Vahan Janjigian, chief investment officer at Greenwich Wealth Management. Building a stake in Apple is a sign the new blood at Berkshire is diversifying into parts of the market that Buffett once avoided. “Tech has become such a big part of the economy that it would sound foolish to say I would never invest in tech,” Janjigian argues. The information technology sector now accounts for 19.8% of the S&P 500 and is the biggest of the 10 major sectors, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. At the end of 2015, the weighting of Berkshire’s public tech stock holdings was around 10%, according to S&P Capital IQ. And even though Apple is a tech stock, the investment still jibes with Berkshire’s time-tested investment philosophy. The purchases follow a more than 30% drop in the price of Apple stock since its peak in February 2015. Apple now trades at just 10 times earnings — well below the broad U.S. stock market valuation of 17 times earnings — and it’s not nearly as expensive as some other popular tech stocks selling at much higher P-Es. Apple also is a great brand with a strong management team. The Apple purchase “does tell us that the people making many of the investment decisions at Berkshire are picking more modern and up-to-date names that are much more popular with everyone else,” Janjigian says.

Two Iraq War veterans and other climbers hope to bring attention to issues facing servicemembers

AMPUTEES AIM FOR SUMMIT OF MOUNT EVEREST

Members of the USX expedition, including Capt. Elyse Ping Medvigy, second from left, and Chad Jukes, third, climb Mount Everest’s northeast ridge.

Two Iraq War veterans, each of whom lost their right leg to roadside bombs, aim this week to become the first combat amputees to reach the top of Mount Everest. They are climbing the lesstraveled northern route of the world’s highest mountain from China and plan to summit the 29,029-foot peak Friday, weather permitting. Unpredictable conditions and deep snow could delay them, climbers say. The two men — former Army reservist Chad Jukes, 31, and Thomas Charles “Charlie” Linville, 30, who served as a Marine staff sergeant — are on separate

expeditions sponsored by different veterans organizations. “I hope that by the time we have completed the climb we will be able to launch veterans issues into the national discussion,” Jukes told USA TODAY from Everest. His email reply was relayed by his publicist, Amy Summers. Jukes is climbing with a group called U.S. Expeditions and Explorations (USX). Two other members of his team are Army officers who, if successful, would be the first active-duty American soldiers to reach the summit. This is the first climbing season in two years for Everest. An avalanche that killed 16 Nepalese guides in 2014 and a deadly earthquake last year in Nepal led to the cancellation of those seasons. Army 2nd Lt. Harold Earls, a member of the USX expedition,

along with Army Capt. Elyse Ping Medvigy, says their primary goal is raising awareness about posttraumatic stress disorder and suicide in the Army. Jukes, who has worried about blood circulation and subsequent frostbite for his stump, says his limb has held up well during a lengthy period of climbing up and down, ferrying supplies and growing acclimated to the altitude. “I have had minor skin issues; through appropriate skin care and rest days, I’ve been able to mitigate any issues,” he said. Jukes said he met up with Linville at one point on the mountain and they discussed prosthetic technology and how each would make his separate climb. The Heroes Project, based in Los Angeles, is sponsoring the climb for Linville.

In an Instagram message from Everest on Sunday, The Heroes Project team said they were “ready to tackle the mountain.” Medvigy said she has adjusted to the altitude by drinking plenty of water and eating “well-rounded meals.” She said they have bonded with members of a Russian expedition and she exercises on a chin-up bar. Earls, 23, who is the least experienced climber on his team, said the weather can change dramatically. They climbed the North Col, a 1,000-foot stretch that is a nearly vertical ice wall. At first, the team was baking. But a storm moved in and Earls wasn’t wearing the proper clothing. “I’m such a novice climber. For Chad, he’s super-efficient. ... For me, I’ll be sloshing around ... trying to work my way up,” he said.

President Obama awards the Medal of Valor to Officer Donald Thompson of the Los Angeles Police Department. 13 POLICE OFFICERS RECEIVE MEDALS OF VALOR

President Obama awarded the nation’s highest honor for law enforcement to 13 police officers Monday, recognizing officers who put themselves in harm’s way — one fatally — to protect citizens. The Public Safety Medal of Valor recognizes police, firefighters and other first responders for exceptional courage. Obama said the actions of the 13 recognized Monday helped to save countless lives. “To a person, each of these honorees acted without regard to their own safety,” Obama said in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House evoking the formality of a military Medal of Honor presentation. “We’re so grateful they were there — some off duty, others on duty, and all rising above and beyond the call of duty.” The ceremony, held during National Police Week, came shortly after Obama signed into law two police-related bills renewing a bulletproof vest grant program and allowing free U.S. Capitol flags for the families of fallen first responders. — Gregory Korte FIRST PENIS TRANSPLANT IN U.S. CALLED A SUCCESS

Surgeons in Boston have performed the first penile transplant in the United States, a procedure that soon could help severely

wounded soldiers, surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospitalsaid Monday. Thomas Manning, 64, whose penis was removed in 2012 due to penile cancer, is recovering well and showing no signs of rejecting the transplant, his surgeons said. Manning, a bank courier in Halifax, Mass., underwent the operation May 8 and 9. The surgeons who led the 15hour procedure, Curtis Cetrulo and Dickens Ko, said they were “cautiously optimistic” Manning will regain full urinary and sexual function. — John Bacon TRUMP SAYS HE MAY NOT GET ALONG WITH CAMERON

As the number of pregnant women infected with the Zika virus grows, hospitals around the country are preparing to treat both them and their babies, who are at high risk of suffering from a wide range of serious birth defects. Children’s National Health System in Washington announced Monday that it’s launching the Congenital Zika Virus Program, which will advise pregnant women infected with the virus, as well as treat babies affected by Zika. Doctors around the country will be able to refer patients to the hospital for help, hospital spokeswoman Diedtra Henderson said. The hospital has treated five pregnant women with Zika and four babies, said Roberta DeBiasi, chief of the infectious disease at Children’s National. One of those cases was described in The New England Journal of Medicine. The new Zika program will provide blood testing and access to a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including pediatric neurologists, physical therapists, infectious disease experts and neurodevelopmental physicians. Children’s National can perform fetal MRI exams, which can provide pregnant women with earlier answers about how Zika has affected their fetus’s health compared with ultrasounds, said Adre du Plessis, director of the Fetal Medicine Institute at Children’s National. The hospital aims to offer women “one-stop shopping,” to resolve their questions — and anxiety — quickly, without forcing women to return to see different specialists. “Our goal is to get them all the answers we possibly can at that first visit,” du Plessis said. Children’s National hopes to be able to handle a “large volume of

In Houston, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital also have begun a specialized program for people affected by Zika, said Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine.

“Hospitals with robust maternal-fetal medicine divisions will be at the forefront ... of Zika.” Amesh Adalja, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

With its steamy summer climate and history of mosquitoborne diseases, Houston is at high risk for Zika outbreaks, Hotez said. So are other communities along the Gulf Coast, where the mosquitoes that spread Zika, the Aedes aegypti, are abundant. “Hospitals with robust maternal-fetal medicine divisions will be at the forefront in helping unravel of the intricacies of Zika and its impact on pregnancy,” said Amesh Adalja, senior associate at the Center for Health Security at

the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “I suspect many of these hospitals will develop similar programs.” The Zika virus can cause microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Zika also is linked to eye problems in newborns, which could lead to blindness, and a variety of neurological problems. Many doctors are concerned that these problems are just the beginning, and that children infected with Zika in the womb could suffer developmental delays as they grow. More than 500 people in the continental U.S. have been diagnosed with Zika virus, including 48 pregnant women, according to the CDC. Most of these patients were infected while traveling outside the U.S. Ten were infected through sex with someone who traveled to an area where Zika is spreading. The true number of Zika cases in the U.S. could be much larger. Only about 20% of people infected by Zika develop symptoms, which include a rash, fever, join pain and pink eye. Zika has hit U.S. territories harder. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed with Zika in Puerto Rico, according to the island’s health department.

Shark rescue: Like pulling teeth John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

Bob Lemons has seen a few shark attack victims in the oceanside Florida town of Boca Raton, but he says Sunday’s incident was a first for him. Paramedics rushed a beachgoer to the hospital with a 2foot-long nurse shark clinging to her arm after efforts to disengage it failed. Lemons, spokesman for the Boca Raton Fire Rescue, said the 23-yearold woman was already out of the water when rescuers reached the beach. “She was sitting calmly, seemed to handle it pretty well,” Lemons told USA TODAY on Monday. But rescuers could not get the shark to release — even though it had died. So they loaded woman and shark into the ambulance and headed for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “This was a unique situation for us,” Lemons said. “I haven’t heard of something like that before, and I’ve been here almost 30 years.” The woman was treated for her injuries and released.

Who’s right? Why Buffett, Icahn don’t agree on Apple Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn are squaring off over Apple — making it hard for copycat investors to know who to follow. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway disclosed Monday it took a $900 million stake in beatendown shares of the gadget maker. The news came just days after Carl Icahn and a litany of other well-known hedge fund managers said they have been dumping the stock. The divergence of the opinion on the stock, which has lost about a third of its value over the past year, highlights Apple’s transition from being a high-growth go-go stock to a more boring company in a slower-growth market — one exactly out of the playbook of Berkshire Hathaway. “What Apple is going through is the realization it is not a (fast) growth name, but rather a growth at a reasonable price play with value,” says Anil Doradla, analyst at William Blair. The news took many investors by surprise since Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway isn’t traditionally a big tech investor. Nearly three-quarters of Berkshire’s public holdings are in consumer staples stocks such as Kraft Heinz and Coca-Cola as well as financials such as Wells Fargo and American Express. Buffett holds stocks for a

long time and is tolerant of short-term volatility if he seems long-term value. Icahn, on the other hand, is known for finding short- to intermediate-term opportunities in stocks he thinks should be worth more by putting cash to best use. He had said he thought the stock could be the first company worth $1 trillion. But since then he has eliminated his stake, saying Apple could face difficulty in China. Who’s right? It depends on your time frame. Short-term investors have good reason to be concerned, given the direction of Apple’s stock and profit. But longer-term investors can make a case Apple’s slowdown is now priced into the stock and setting it up well for future gains.

of losses — prompted activist investor Carl Icahn to sell off nearly 50 million Apple shares. China is considered crucial to Apple’s success. It accounted for nearly $60 billion in sales during Apple’s last fiscal financial year but is an area of concern after Apple reported an 11% decline in quarterly sales there last month. A saturated smartphone market and wobbly economy were blamed for the bum quarter. China was part of a larger problem: iPhone sales slumped, year over year, for the first time in its 10year history. Cook, who has repeatedly underlined the importance of Asia, said he is confident the China market will bounce back as its middle class continues to grow. He’s also expected to visit Prime Minister Modi in India, according to a Reuters report citing unnamed sources. India is another populous country where Apple is pinning its future revenue growth. “The Didi investment and Cook’s world tour are interesting in that it signals a new direction for Apple,” said Brian Blau, an analyst at market researcher Gartner. “They haven’t admitted publicly to a car project, but the $1 billion investment indicates explicit interest in a new product area, such as automated cars.” The enormity of the investment underscores Apple’s commitment to both China and the auto market. The company, which announced 11 acquisitions last year, normally scoops up small start-ups. The Berkshire investment is considered a significant vote of confidence among investors, although it also reflects Apple’s shifting fortunes that the stock — the epitome of growth and momentum — is now sought after by a firm known for value investing.

Gannett Co., which owns USA TODAY and more than 100 local news properties nationwide, said Monday it raised its offer to buy Tribune Publishing Co. to $15 per share, dialing up the pressure after its earlier bid was rejected by Tribune’s board of directors despite some shareholders’ call for a negotiation. The revised offer values Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and nine other dailies, at about $479 million. Gannett also offered to assume about $385 million of

Tribune’s debt, valuing the total deal at about $864 million. Revised after Gannett met with Tribune shareholders, the heightened offer represents a premium of 99% to Tribune’s closing price of $7.52 per share on April 22, the GANNETT last trading day Robert Dickey before Gannett revealed its initial offer of $12.25. Shares of Tribune Publishing rose 22.7% Monday to $14.08. “After further review, we have greater confidence in our ability

to yield additional operational improvements in this transaction,” Gannett’s CEO Robert Dickey wrote in a letter Monday to Tribune’s board. The McLean, Va.-based company also said it was confident it can receive the antitrust clearance necessary. John Jeffry Louis, chairman of Gannett’s board, told USA TODAY he and Dickey met with Michael Ferro, Tribune’s board chairman, last week. But they “didn’t make any headway” about a negotiation, Louis said. “We certainly hope that (the new offer) will accelerate the process.” In a statement, Tribune, headquartered in Chicago, said its board “will thoroughly review Gannett’s revised proposal.”

Seeking to acquire newspapers and affiliated digital news properties in markets where Gannett lacks a presence, Dickey sent a private letter April 12 — outlining his all-cash offer — to Ferro, the largest Tribune shareholder, and Justin Dearborn, Tribune’s CEO. Unable to get a formal negotiation started, Gannett then revealed the offer publicly April 25, forcing Tribune to hire advisers to begin reviewing the bid. On May 4, Tribune’s board unanimously rejected the offer. “We’re hearing from shareholders that they want a transaction to take place,” Dickey said. “We’re hopeful that (Monday’s) move to $15 shows shareholders that we’re serious.”

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

The stock market got off to a good start to the week Monday, amid the “Buffett Bounce” or the “Apple Rally,” or whatever you want to call the Dow’s 175-point surge driven by news that billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway took a roughly $1 billion position in iPhone maker Apple last quarter. Apple shares, which are down almost 30% from their year-ago peak, got a reprieve on the Berkshire buy news, rallying nearly 4% to $93.88. Since Apple carries big weight in the Dow Jones industrial average, the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index and the Nasdaq, the iPhone maker helped drive the market higher Monday. Another rally for U.S.-pro-

duced oil also gave the market a tailwind it has lacked recently. But Monday is in the rear-view mirror. Tuesday brings fresh challenges to Wall Street, just a day before the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s April meeting on interest rate policy are released Wednesday. Wall Street will turn its attention back to incoming economic data, and the latest reading on inflation at the consumer level will get top billing. The April consumer price index, or CPI, will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. Investors will be looking to see if dormant inflation is showing any signs of awakening. The Fed has been reluctant to hike interest rates this year, partly due to the inability of inflation to tick back up closer to the 2% rate it deems healthy. Also on Tuesday’s docket: April reads on housing starts and industrial production.

Analysts bullish on Buffett, but take his advice Q: Is Berkshire about to take off? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Ketchup. Railroads. Coke. Insurance. These low-tech investments turned Warren Buffett into a legend. Now his Berkshire Hathaway is going high-tech — adding Apple — underscoring how it’s a different company that may not perform like it used to. Buffett’s long-term record is enviable for good reason. Concentrated positions in stocks that were cheap in hindsight have paid off. The diversified investment company’s shares are up 134% over the past decade, blowing away the 58% gain by the Standard & Poor’s 500. Buffett’s success isn’t just about great stock picking. Berkshire’s unique business model of generating cash flow from its insurance operations, plus the ability to borrow at very low interest rates due to its high credit rating, gives the company a low cost of capital. Buffett also has shown the rare and outstanding talent of knowing which business to shift cash to in order to maximize future profits. Analysts are bullish on Buffett’s shares — rating the stock an “outperform” and a price target on B shares of $166.33, which is 17% higher than Monday’s price of $142. But given Buffett won’t run the company forever, it’s unclear if the new Berkshire will be as successful. Most investors are best off taking Buffett’s own advice: Own an index fund.

Amazon hoping private labels hit Millennials’ sweet spot Elizabeth Weise and Eli Blumenthal

@eweise, @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

Amazon’s reported shift into private label grocery offerings takes a page out of the basic retail strategy book it has aggressively pursued, often to the chagrin of brick and mortar competitors. But Amazon has an even bigger incentive than Target and Walmart did when they expanded into private-label products more than a decade ago: Millennials. SAN FRANCISCO

JOHN MACDOUGALL, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The generation that has grown up with the Internet has shown more loyalty to distributors — say flight-and hotel-aggregator Kayak.com or delivery services Uber Eats — than the end brand that provides the good or service, says Phil Lempert, a Los Angelesbased consumer analyst who fo-

cuses on food trends. In the case of an Amazonbranded coffee or detergent, Amazon already “owns” the customers’ loyalty and trust, which means its own name carries weight, Lempert says. The private label means the item is likely to be cheaper, a draw for America’s largest living generation, who are now in their 20s and early 30s. “Millennials care about quality and price and taste; they’re brand agnostic. It’s a sweet spot for Amazon,” he said. Along with detergent and diapers, the Seattle-based online retailer plans to sell private label

nuts, spices, tea, coffee, baby food and vitamins, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Amazon would not comment. The product expansion can help Amazon continue to be the go-to choice for the connected generation, as well as reshape consumer perception about where they can go to get the things they need every day, according to Market Track, a Chicago-based market analysis firm. That’s something that traditionally happened in brick and mortar stores but which Amazon wants to move online. The move is not completely foreign to Amazon,

which already sells electronics accessories and home goods such as bed sheets and knife sets under its Amazon Basics brand. In the grocery world, private label brands are a big money maker. The items are often produced in the same plants as name-brand items but are labeled with a store brand, saving all the cost of advertising and thus allowing them to be sold for less. The products will only be available to Amazon Prime members, according to the Journal. Members pay $99 a year for two-day delivery, free streaming video and a host of other extras.

More than ever, the big broadcast networks are playing it safe with established franchises, and Fox is not immune to TV’s remake fever: The network will add two fall dramas — Lethal Weapon, a sequel of the 1980s film franchise — and The Exorcist, based on the 1973 horror film. And for midseason, it’s even remaking its own shows with a limited return of Prison Break and a revamped 12-episode season of thriller 24 with a new cast. Exorcist portrays two priests (Ben Daniels, Alfonso Herrera) trying to solve a case of demonic possession. It also stars Geena Davis. It will get a Friday-night slot against NBC’s Grimm. Lethal Weapon features Damon Wayans Sr. and Clayne Crawford in the L.A. buddy-cop roles made famous by Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, and will be paired with hit Empire on Wednesdays. The network’s lone new fall comedy is Son of Zorn, a live-action/ animation hybrid featuring a warrior (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) who returns to California to reclaim his live-action family, led by Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm). Fourth-place Fox is averaging 5.9 million viewers this season and is the only network not to lose viewers. (Among its target young-adult audience, it ranks third and is down 2%). But it struck out with seemingly bankable stars in John Stamos and Rob Lowe, whose Grandfathered and The Grinder, respectively, were canceled after one season, and American Idol, once TV’s top series, ended its 15-year run last month. Other series to get the ax include Second Chance, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life, the animated Bordertown and Minority Report, another movie remake that never got off the ground. For midseason, 24: Legacy will premiere behind the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, then shift to its old home on Mondays. Prison Break, with original stars, is due on Thursdays. And Sleepy Hollow is set to return on Fridays. Also due is Star, about a girl singing group and featuring Queen Latifah, from Empire producer Lee Daniels. (It will be a winter fill-in for Empire). Along with two more comedies, The Mick and Making History, Fox has midseason plans for Pitch, following the first female Major League Baseball player.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SUMMER SUN, BUGS

Seniors need real exercise, too By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Sunburns and indoor tanning are the two biggest controllable factors for skin cancer.

UV-reflective surfaces like water, dry sand and concrete can send harmful rays at you from unexpected directions.

If you are light-skinned, aim to spend no more than 10 minutes a day in direct sunlight.

Rely less on SPF: The most effective sunscreens contain zinc oxide, a physical blocker to protect your skin.

An oak leaf itch mite

File Photo

WHEN BUGS BITE Fun fact: A single oak tree can drop 1 million mites over a four-day period, said Dr. Daniel Aires, director of dermatology at Kansas University Hospital. Everyone’s favorite oak leaf itch mites survived the mild winter in Lawrence, and they’re already back and biting with a vengeance. Another fun fact: The mites are actually hoping to land on another bug, Aires said. When they land on us, it’s an accident. Their bites are annoying, nonetheless. “Stay away from oak trees — it’s probably best to avoid them,” Aires said. Unfortunately, that may be easier said than done. For itchy bites, Aires recommends using a tiny amount of a topical steroid just once or twice directly on the bite itself, not on the surrounding skin. He said it can help reduce the itch and it doesn’t have the kind of systemic effect that an antihistamine can have.

“Skin cancers on the lip are very dangerous, so if people can wear a lip protector with SPF, that’s really helpful,” he said, noting that some cosmetics can fit that bill. On the other hand, long-term exposure is very different. “It’s this real distinction that I draw between the intense, at-the-lake-sunburn sun exposure and the everyday, nobig-deal, not-gonnaburn sun exposure,” Aires said, “and they call for really different responses.” Aires said for those who plan to spend the day fishing, for example, it’s best to use a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide. It is a physical blocker, so unlike other chemical formulas that absorb into the skin and break down with time and sun exposure, it remains effective as long as it stays on your skin. The downside to zinc is that it’s very visible on the skin. Although it’s highly unlikely that the fish will care what you have on your face,

Aires said, most people object to the way it looks if they plan to be in a more social setting. So for occasions such as beach parties, Aires said he’d recommend people use “whatever they find tolerable” — some sunscreen is better than no sunscreen. When you’re browsing the shelves at the drugstore, though, the massive collections can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to make a good choice for yourself: l Don’t fall into the SPF trap: Aires said people often get a false sense of security applying sunscreens that tout SPF 100 on the bottles. No matter what the number is, it’s still not safe to go sit out in the sun all day. l “Waterproof” is questionable. Sunscreens that claim to be waterproof probably are less so than people believe, Aires said, so always reapply after swimming. Please see SKIN, page 2C

Learning a new way to live, setbacks and all Bert Nash client resolves to forge ahead differently By Jeff Burkhead Special to the Journal-World

Walk into Angie Boster’s apartment these days and the window blinds will be open. That never used to happen. “I didn’t want the outside world seeing me,” she said. Now she’s not afraid to let the light — or the outside world — in. 2015 was a big year for Boster, 45, and it all started with a decision on New Year’s Day. “I usually don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but I

did last year,” she said. “I told myself this year was going to be different.” It was. “It’s like she turned over a new leaf,” said Robert Kortlucke, the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center case manager who worked with Boster. “She made a resolution that she wasn’t going to live like this anymore. That she was going to work on her mental health and stay focused on the things she should be doing.” In 2014, Boster was hospitalized 13 times, a pattern

she had been stuck in for years. She was estranged from her two grown sons. She was in poor physical health, suffering from a stomach ailment that perplexed doctors. Once they figured out what was going on medically, she started feeling better physically. She also started taking care of her mental health. She attended group therapy sessions at Bert Nash. She put up inspirational messages around her home. She

“I’m too old to exercise.” “I might fall.” “I have never exercised before so there is no reason to start now.” “Exercise classes and gyms cost too much.” These are all excuses given by older adults about why they cannot exercise. But the fact is, the older we get, the more we should participate in increased physical activity and targeted exercises. Even those with health issues can significantly improve their health status by exercising regularly. The terms physical activity and exercise are often used interchangeably. The National Institutes of Health notes that physical activity is usually something that gets us moving such as gardening, walking the dog and or taking the stairs. Exercise is a more structured and repetitive form of physical activity like weight training or a yoga class. Including both activity and exercise can help you feel better and stay fit and active as you age. The National Institute on Aging notes that exercise can positively impact those with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis and other joint problems, peripheral artery disease, balance problems, dementias, depression, stress and anxiety, and numerous other physical and mental health disorders. A good exercise program will incorporate aerobic activity such as walking or swimming; strength training exercise, sometimes with small weights or resistance bands; stretching and Please see EXERCISE, page 2C

flexibility exercises such as yoga; and exercises to maintain and improve balance like Tai Chi. LMH Therapy Services offers fours levels of Tai Chi for Balance classes. They are taught by Arthritis Foundation-certified instructors who are also registered physical therapists. A new series begins the week of June 6. Inactivity increases with age. By age 75, one in three men and one in two women are no longer exercising. The loss of strength and stamina often attributed to the aging process is in part due to lack of physical activity. It is never too late to begin an exercise program. Even those who have restricted mobility can still participate in some exercises. If you have not exercised in a while or are concerned about exercising alone, the LMH Fit for Life program can provide instruction and support at an affordable fee. There are two program options. Fit1 offers an initial assessment and guidance by an exercise physiologist, and then use of the exercise equipment at the two Fit for Life locations. For those needing ongoing support, the Fit Assist program pairs participants with a trained volunteer who can exercise with them. National Senior Health and Fitness Day is May 25. Older adults are invited to try out different exercise activities at the second annual Fitness Crawl. LMH and community partners Lawrence Parks and Recreation, Lawrence Public Library, Douglas County Senior Services and Hy-Vee are teaming up again this year to offer this free special event.

hung the diploma she received from earning her GED as well as her beauty school certificate. She displayed family photos. She wrote down goals for herself and gave them to her caseworker. And she opened the window blinds in her apartment. Right away, others noticed a difference. “She wasn’t self-harming, she wasn’t overdosing, she wasn’t going to the hospital,” Kortlucke said. “She was a completely different person.” Boster felt better, physically and mentally. “I was happier, more positive,” she said. “There was a time when I wouldn’t go outside my apartment. I didn’t trust anybody. I used to have all these walls built up. Now, it’s like those walls aren’t there anymore.” Those walls had included her relationship with her sons. They had been estranged for years. Repairing those relationships hasn’t been easy, but, gradually, the walls began to come down. It has been a process of baby steps. “My youngest son told me if you decide to overdose or kill myself, I just have this to say, it’s on you. He told me about the things he thought I should have taught him when he was growing up. I said I didn’t know how to do those things because my mom didn’t teach me. I said I respect you for telling me this stuff, and it’s OK,” Boster said. Boster grew up in Florida. After her parents divorced, she and her mom moved around a lot. Change was hard for Boster. Her home life wasn’t very stable. Emotionally, she struggled. She felt different; she felt misunderstood. “When I was young, I used to think why doesn’t

As far back as I can remember I have always suffered from mental illness.” There are still times when Boster will get depressed, even to the point of thinking about self-harm. But she knows she can reach out for help. “There are things I do to distract myself when I get in that suicidal-thought mode,” she said. “I know now if I need help, or I’m feeling hopeless and I’m depressed and feeling like taking a bunch of pills, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call my caseworker.” Grateful for the help she has received, Boster wants to share her story in the hopes of encouraging others who are going through similar struggles. “She’s been through it,” Kortlucke said. “She started talking about wanting to help people who are in the same position. She’s grown a lot and learned a lot of skills, and she wants to give back.” Mental illness is something Boster has dealt with her entire life. The illness hasn’t gone away, and she still has setbacks. But she is learning how to deal with it. “There are times I get depressed, but now I know what to do to get myself out of those times. It’s my choice,” she said. “I want to be an advocate to let people know that it’s OK to have a mental illness, and you can overcome it.”

Skin CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C l Stay off the spray-ons. Spray-on sunscreens in general “don’t actually provide terribly good coverage,” Aires said. l Think about your own skin. For those who suffer from acne or other skin conditions, it may take some experimenting to figure out what kind of sunscreen works for you. However, Aires said, hats are still a good bet. The bottom line is, whatever sunscreen suits you best, protect your skin from long-term sun exposure. May 2 was “Melanoma Monday” at the hospital, and Aires said doctors found many concerns in the 200 skin cancer screenings they performed. Aires recommends people keep an eye out for the ABCDs of spotting suspicious moles: A for asymmetry; B for border irregularity; C for colors, meaning more than two colors; D for diameter greater than a pencil eraser, or approximately one-quarter inch; and some say E for evolving or changing. Those are all signs that you may want to see a doctor. Above all else, Aires said it’s best for people to learn to love the skin they’re in — don’t try to burn yourself to a different shade.

Dear Annie: Several months ago, my fiancee of two years announced that she wanted to date other people. Although I knew things had not been good between us, I was devastated. We met on the Internet, and I saw that she was back on the same website. I talked to her, hoping she would give me a sign that she wanted to get back together, but she said she wanted to see other men and that I should see other women. I was desperate and even logged onto her page on the dating website, hoping to get through to her. After a few days of her not responding, I started getting messages from other women. I made a date with one of them, and we ended up having sex afterward. I felt terrible about

it. I called the woman and told her I couldn’t see her anymore because I was still in love with someone else. I continued to call and text my ex, even though I knew she was seeing other men. This went on for about six weeks. Last week, my ex and I had a wonderful day together and ended up cuddling under a blanket on her sofa. Things started to get romantic, and she asked if I had

Dating show doomed from the start Even before reality television, programming has always been a case of Darwinian struggle and survival. New series arrive like little hatchling turtles running the gauntlet of predator birds on a forbidding beach. As critics, sometimes it’s our job to nurture the young. On occasion, we sit back and watch nature take its course. And sometimes, we’re very much on the side of the predator birds. That’s clearly the case with “Coupled” (8 p.m., Fox, TV14), the umpteenth variation on “The B a c h elor,” and any other brainless reality series dating back to the dark ages of the genre. Who remembers “Temptation Island” and “Chains of Love”? Who’d want to? Death is all but certain for “Coupled.” And it won’t be painless.

Fox occasionally offers talent from Fox News a primetime network showcase. Bill O’Reilly used to host these affairs, back in the day when he branded Coolio a threat to Western civilization. “Megyn Kelly Presents” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG) offers interviews with public figures including actress Laverne Cox and defense attorney Robert Shapiro, recently portrayed by John Travolta in “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” Not unlike the puppet acts and plate spinners that used to precede Beatles appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” they serve as mere seat warmers for the main attraction — Kelly’s interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Most normal women would probably avoid a person who crudely dragged the subject of menstruation into the conversation. A spokesperson for Fox News once declared that Trump had a “sick obsession” with the host. But all appears to be fair game on reality television. Or rather cable news. Such “feuds” have been good for ratings, but have not offered much scrutiny of a candidate who has emerged as his party’s presumptive nominee. Perhaps Kelly will use this chance to discuss decades of published biographies and profiles linking the developer to underworld figures. That might be “entertaining” as well as what used to be called journalism. Tonight’s other highlights

K-State makes Kill-er hire The first time Bill Snyder decided to retire as Kansas State football coach, the school didn’t get it right in hiring a replacement. Ron Prince lasted just three seasons (2006-08). Once Snyder departed, the college-football tide in the state of Kansas turned away from K-State and in favor of Kansas University. Mark Mangino, who went 1-4 against Snyder (1-3 during Snyder I, 0-1 for Snyder II), his former boss, went 3-0 vs. Prince. Mangino was forced out at Kansas after Snyder’s first season back, and Snyder’s dominance over KU is greater than ever. In the seven seasons of Snyder’s second stretch at K-State, Kansas has gone 4-57 in the Big 12, the Wildcats 37-24. Snyder has won all seven games against Kansas, winning by an average margin of 38.3 points in the six post-Mangino games. Oh, well, Snyder, 76, won’t stay at K-State forever. He is seven victories shy of 200 for his career, which started in 1989, an attainable figure in one or two seasons. I’ve always thought that if K-State botches replacing him again, that’s another opportunity for Kansas to make recruiting strides in the state. The chances of K-State making a bad hire are about to get slimmer. I’m told by someone in the know that Snyder has arranged for the hiring of former Minnesota coach Jerry Kill, who will serve as something of a liaison between Snyder and athletic director John Currie. Kill knows two things the way Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson know the bottom of the net. Kill knows football, and he knows Kansas. He not only will make a terrific sounding board for Snyder on football matters, he will be a great source of insight for Currie when the time comes to find a new coach. Kill retired from coaching seven games into this past season at Minnesota because of multiple seizures. His new job won’t be as stressful, won’t put him at as much risk. A native of Cheney, Kill, 54, played linebacker for Southwestern College in Winfield and worked at Pittsburg State and Emporia State early in his coaching career. His presence at Kansas State, even though in a non-coaching, non-recruiting role, surely will help Kansas State solidify its stranglehold on in-state football recruits. Kill is well liked and respected by high school coaches throughout the state. Kill directed quick turnarounds as head coach at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois and Minnesota. He is about to move behind the scenes. Kansas State’s football future becomes brighter with him coming on board.

FREE STATE HIGH FRESHMAN LANDON BERQUIST PITCHES OUT OF A SAND TRAP on Monday at Brookridge Country Club in Overland Park during a Class 6A regional. Berquist shot an 81 and was one of four Firebirds to qualify for the state tournament as individuals.

Free State qualifies four for state By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — In the past few weeks, Free State High sophomore Tate Steele could tell he was starting to become more consistent on the golf course. It all paid off Monday. Playing through the rain and wind at Brookridge Country Club, Steele had one of his best rounds of the season, carding a 79 and tying for 10th place at the Class 6A boys golf regional. Steele’s performance earned him a spot at the 6A state tournament as an individual qualifier. In addition to Steele, juniors Jack Junge and Matt Siler, and freshman Landon Berquist are headed to state next week after placing among the top five individuals at the regional who weren’t on a state qualifying team. “I knew coming in that I was playing better than I had all year,” Steele said. “To shoot 79 in these conditions … if it was normal conditions, it would be way lower. It makes me optimistic for state.”

The top three teams qualify for state and the Firebirds took fourth with 326 strokes, 13 strokes behind Shawnee Mission East and Shawnee Mission Northwest. Blue Valley North won the regional with 310 strokes. Steele, who took ninth in the Sunflower League, was strong with his drives Monday and “made everything” on the putting green. The only time Steele was affected by the weather was during his short game, when trying to control the distance with his short irons. He tied with four other golfers with a 79 and “chunked a chip” during the play-off. It will be the second trip to state for Steele, who played when the Firebirds qualified as a team last year. “Last year I came in and I was really nervous,” said Steele, the school’s first state champion wrestler. “I shot like a 95 at regionals. To already have the experience makes you able to control your nerves.” Right behind Steele, Ber-

quist shot an 81 while Junge and Siler both fired an 83. It was the best round of the season for Siler, who was practicing Sunday night at the Lawrence Country Club driving range. “Justin, this is kind of from nowhere,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said. “But I’m really happy for him because he really cares and he really works at his game. … Obviously, he was mentally tough enough today to overcome the conditions and play a round that’s good enough to get him to the state tournament. I’m so happy for him.” Siler said he has struggled for most of the season, but he made plenty of greens on Monday, making up for his “average” putting. “It’s very exciting, especially in these conditions,” Siler said. “The rain wasn’t the best thing but I couldn’t change anything about it.” Lawrence High finished sixth at the regional and didn’t Please see GOLF, page 3D

Kansas University freshman Cheick Diallo issued a “thank you” letter in announcing on Twitter on Monday he’d officially decided to sign with an agent and enter the June 23 NBA Draft. The agent, according to ESPN, is Bill Duffy of BDA Sports Management. “After spending the last couple of weeks thinking about my future, I took the decision to enter the 2016 NBA Draft and signed with an agent today. It was not an easy call, but (the) time has come for me to take that step up to the next level and make my goal of joining the NBA come true,” Diallo wrote. “Five years ago, I was living in Kayes, Mali, with my family and playing basketball with my friends in the neighborhood. NBA was then a word I would not have dared to pronounce. I would like to thank all the people that have been helping me, showing unconditional love and support since the beginning. Adding to the hard work and determination, they have been helping me to be where I am today: l My parents and family for the love and support, even being so far away. l My lovely host family and all the friends I have met since I arrived in the U.S., always having my back. l My coaches, back in Africa, and here in the USA, that I’ve met in the different camps and teams that I’ve played for. In Our Savior New American High School and Kansas University, where I had the opportunity to learn so much about the game. My classmates and teammates. l All the fans, the ones I have shared some words or smiles with; the ones who sent me great and supportive messages, including during the clearance process #FreeDiallo! :) “I am a Pioneer and Jayhawk for life,” he added in his letter. “I would also like to give a shoutout to my people in Mali and Africa that encourages me to always give the best.

Work on KU football complex underway By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A $2-2.5 million lockerroom renovation that will be done in time for preseason camp and the upcoming football season is underway at the Anderson Family Football Complex, Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger told the Journal-World on Monday. The project, a vision by second-year head coach David Beaty, will upgrade the KU locker room, players lounge and auditorium where team meetings and film sessions take place. Zenger said the idea behind the changes was to Photo Courtesy of Kansas Athletics keep the 80,000-square foot building, which was built in AN ARTISTS RENDERING SHOWS THE VIEW INSIDE THE KU FOOTBALL LOCKER ROOM, which will feature newly designed player lockers and an illuminated Jayhawk on the ceiling.

Odor delivers quite a blow By Gil LeBreton

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Arlington, Texas — It’s not as if Rougned Odor suckerpunched the mayor. Quite the contrary. Sensing an imminent escalation of incivilities, Texas Rangers second baseman Odor formed a perfect fist with his right hand and delivered The Baseball Punch to End All Baseball Punches, striking Toronto’s Jose Bautista on the jaw with a directness that resonated with both retribution and justice. Film at 11. Film at 7 tomorrow morning, too. Film on the MLB Network forever, probably, because this was baseball theater at its best — the game’s feistiest new rascal squaring the ledger with the league’s foremost bully. When they parted last October, the Rangers and the Blue Jays had not agreed to exchange Christmas gifts. The bottle-throwing Toronto crowd and Bautista’s ensuing, over-the-top, series-clinching bat flip seared a bitter memory into the Rangers’ hearts. Sunday’s finale at Globe Life Park marked the final time the teams will meet during this regular season — a not-insignificant fact. Suddenly, it was the eighth inning and Ian Desmond’s three-run homer had just put the home team ahead, 7-6. Manager Jeff Banister allowed high-90s-throwing rookie Matt Bush to begin the inning and face the man who calls himself Joey Bats. Bush, whose fastball command had previously been exemplary, plunked Bautista in the side with a fastball clocked at 97. A case could be made that after drilling Bautista, the account was squared. The bat flip and all the playoff yapping had been answered. But when Justin Smoak followed with a would-be double-play grounder, Bautista decided that he needed to get in a last word. “I had a hard slide at second base,” Bautista told reporters later. “I could have injured him, but I chose not to. I tried to send a message that I didn’t appreciate getting hit.” Bautista punctuated his dirty slide with an apparent pointed epithet for Odor who, not one to retreat, pushed Bautista hard with both hands. As Bautista readied his own fist, Odor beat him to the draw with a Manny Pacquiao-caliber right hand. Benches cleared. Odor was able to get in another punch to Josh Donaldson, before the scrum and ejections were sorted out. “He got me pretty good, so I have to give him that,” Bautista said. “But it takes a little bit bigger man, I guess, to knock me down.” It was brave talk. But the judges would have scored it a TKO in favor of Odor. Odor, among others, faces a likely suspension, but the punch quickly drew applause from other baseball precincts. After all, he landed it on Bautista, not some club chaplain. Ex-San Diego pitcher Daniel McCutchen said on Twitter, “On behalf of former and current MLB players, I would like to thank Rougned Odor for that beautiful punch.” The response was a testament to Bautista’s widespread … uh … popularity around the league. He may be beloved in Toronto, but his haughty attitude is loathed in the 29 other MLB ports. The Punch answered the bat flip. It evened the scoreboard. Maybe the two teams will meet again this October. Oh, the fun that would be.

side his locker room, first-year Thunder coach Billy Donovan received a round of hugs and celebratory handshakes for pulling off something no other team has done at Oracle Arena this postseason: win. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Oklahoma City dazzled in the fourth quarter the way the defending champion Warriors have done so many times this season on their home floor, rallying from 14 points down for a 108-102 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Monday night. “You have to have a mindset coming into these kinds of venues. Our guys, I think they understand what they’re walking into,” Donovan said. “You don’t just walk in here say, ‘Oh, everything’s going to be OK.’ You have to have a mindset to understand. The first thing is to embrace the fact it’s going to be hard.” Durant scored 26 points and made a key 17-foot jumper with 30.7 seconds left, while Westbrook scored 24 of his 27 points in the second half. Westbrook also had 12 assists and seven steals in the opener of the Thunder’s fourth West finals in six years. Game 2 is Wednesday night at Oracle Arena. If this one was any kind of preview of what is coming, this should be a dandy of a series between the NBA’s highest-scoring teams from the regular season. “We’ve just got to compete,” Westbrook said. “It’s going to be a tough game. It’s a tough building. They have a lot of great players on their team, but

Jay Dineen commits to KU By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

After talking with his parents Monday, Free State High junior Jay Dineen decided he couldn’t wait any longer. He knew where he wanted to play college football. Dineen picked up the phone and called Kansas University football coach David Beaty, giving his oral commitment to the school. His brother, Joe, started for KU at linebacker last season as a sophomore. “It just felt right,” Dineen said. “I just wanted to get it over with and become a Jayhawk.” Dineen announced his commitment on Twitter with a simple tweet, “Rock Chalk,” in all capital letters. After talking to Beaty — “He got really excited, then I got really excited,” Dineen said — Dineen placed a call to defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, who was his primary recruiter.

A 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker, Dineen earned second-team AllSunflower League honors last season, recording 83 tackles (47 solo) and eight tackles for a loss. He led the Firebirds to an 8-4 record and spot in the Class 6A state semifinals. Beaty offered Dineen a scholarship on April 11, and Dineen didn’t need much time to make up his mind. It was his only offer, but Dineen said he received interest from Kansas State, Iowa State and Northern Illinois. “I’ve grown up and loved them,” Dineen said of the Jayhawks. “I’ve gone to every game. I actually went to the Orange Bowl in 2008. Then when Joe committed, I became even more of a fan. Now I’m going to be a part of it.” One of Dineen’s dreams is stepping on the field with his older brother. The two suited up for Free State’s postseason

games in 2013 when Jay Dineen, as a freshman, watched his brother play quarterback and safety for the Firebirds from the sidelines. Last year, Joe Dineen transformed into one of KU’s leaders with 86 tackles and three sacks. “It’d be awesome if we got out on the field together,” Jay Dineen said. “I’ve always wanted that. He’s always wanted that. It’d be fun.” Along with his brother, Dineen has plenty of family ties to the Jayhawks. Both of his parents are KU grads, and his mother, Jodi, played volleyball for the Jayhawks. His grandfather, Ron Oelschlager, was a running back at KU from 1962-64. Beyond family, Dineen is excited about the football program’s future. “They are going to change it around,” Dineen said, “and I want to be a part of it.”

2008 for $33 million, among the nicest college football facilities in the country. “This one’s more than window dressing,” Zenger said of the project. “Thankfully, the building was done very, very well, and it’s not old. But it’s a lot like when you build a house and during the first nine years you live there the styles have changed. It always has been stateof-the-art, it always has been as good as anyone’s. What we can’t afford to do is ever let it fall behind. So we’ve got to continue to keep it as up-todate as it can be.” To that end, construction crews will give facelifts to the individual lockers, as well as the look, feel and vibe of the locker room as a whole — including a neon Jayhawk logo on the ceiling — and new oversized seats and electronic equipment will be added in the players lounge and Mrkonic Auditorium. The goal, Zenger said, is to create a more impressive and functional environment that will have a

They say everything happens for a reason and you are a big part of it. This is the first step of many more to come and I am looking forward to the new challenges with confidence and determination. Much love, Cheick #CD13 #Mali Proud #AirMali.” The 6-foot-9 Diallo, who has a 7-41⁄2 wingspan, appears to have secured a spot in the first round heading into the 1-on-1 workouts with teams. ESPN’s Chad Ford has him the 28th pick of the first round. “Diallo was the big winner at the Combine,” Ford wrote. “He measured with a terrific wingspan and a 35-inch vertical, and when he got on the floor he looked like the prospect we once had ranked as a potential top-10 pick. He was active on both ends, rebounded, blocked shots, defended and even showed off a few nice offensive moves. He’s still raw. He’ll struggle some in a rigid offen-

quarter court sprint,” Ford wrote at ESPN.com. ESPN has Ellis as the 73rd best prospect heading into the 60-pick draft. Draftexpress.com does not have Ellis being taken. NBAdraft.net has Ellis the final pick of the draft, by Utah at No. 60. “He plays 5-on-5 over a 2-day period and probably didn’t get a chance to fully show what he can do,” Self said of a pair of Combine scrimmages. “NBA people have been watching him four years. I don’t think that (scrimmages) would have much of an impact at all.” Ellis, who had fourthlowest body fat of all the players at the Combine (4.6 percent), put up decent numbers, scoring 15 points off 5-of-10 shooting (1-for-1 from three, 4-for-5 from line) with six rebounds, four turnovers and no assists in Friday’s scrimmage. He had 11 points off 3-of-10 shooting (1-for-3 from three, 4-for-4 from line) with two steals, one block, four turnovers and one assist in Thursday’s initial scrimmage. He’s currently listed as 12th-power forward overall in the draft by nba. com’s David Aldridge, who also has Ellis honorable mention on his list of top power forwards. l

Ellis fares well at Combine: KU senior Perry Ellis’ draft stock might be rising as a result of his performance at last week’s Combine in Chicago. “Perry proved he was one of the fastest guys at the Combine,” Self said of the 6-foot-8 Wichitan, who recorded the second-fasted three-quartercourt sprint of the 70 players (3.13 seconds). Syracuse senior Michael Gbinije was first in 3.12. Ellis caught the attention of ESPN.com’s Ford, who still lists Ellis’ status as “second round pick/ undrafted,” which could change after Ellis’ upcoming individual workouts with NBA teams. “Kansas’ Perry Ellis, another non-athlete by NBA standards, tested surprisingly well, including a 38-inch max vertical and the second-fastest three-

If he keeps playing well at workouts, he has a chance to exceed that range.” KU coach Bill Self told the Journal-World: “We’re so happy and proud of him.

Red Sox-Royals postponed SCOREBOARD Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Perhaps a cold, wet day in Kansas City will finally cool off the Boston Red Sox. One of the hottest offensive teams in baseball had the opener of their three-game set against the Royals rained out Monday. It will be made up Wednesday as part of a split doubleheader, and the starters who were due to take the mound will be pushed back by a day. That means the Royals will send Yordano Ventura to the mound against Boston’s Rick Porcello.

Ventura has had another roller-coaster start to the season, in some ways mimicking the rocky road of the reigning World Series champions. The hard-throwing right-hander was dynamic in earlier starts against Houston and Baltimore and downright dreadful in back-to-back losses to Seattle and Cleveland. That has led many people to question Ventura’s mental makeup — including his own manager. “I think the questions are warranted, I really do,” Ned Yost said Mon-

day, shortly before the game was postponed. “I don’t think you’re making too much out of it.” Ventura was a revelation when he hit the big leagues, unleashing 100 mph heat with seemingly no pressure on his slender shoulders. When the Royals reached the mustwin Game 6 of the World Series two years ago, it was Ventura who got the ball and shut down the San Francisco Giants to stay alive. But after he was anointed the opening day starter last year, Ventura began

Tigers nearly blow big lead STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League Tigers 10, Twins 8 Detroit — Nick Castellanos hit a tie-breaking homer in the seventh inning, and Detroit avoided a humiliating loss Monday night by beating Minnesota. The Tigers led 8-0 after one inning with AL ERA leader Jordan Zimmermann on the mound, only to see the Twins come back to tie the game in the seventh. Detroit manager Brad Ausmus was ejected in the middle of the rally for arguing a called third strike. During the argument, he took off his sweatshirt and used it to cover up the plate.

Rays 13, Blue Jays 2 Toronto — Curt Casali hit a three-run homer, Tim Beckham and Steve Pearce each hit two-run blasts, and Tampa Bay had four homers while beating Toronto. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was ejected by home-plate umpire Mike Winters for arguing a called third strike in the fourth. It was the third ejection of the season for Gibbons and his second in two games — he was one of eight tossed in a game Sunday against Texas that included Rougned Odor’s punch to the jaw of Jose Bautista.
