When it comestocancer, preventive care is essential

At 47 years old, my world as I knewitwas completely flipped upside down.

The words “you have breast cancer” suddenly touched every part of my life. Ihad to step away from astatewide race for state treasurer, my family and Ifaced difficult and uncertain days, and Iwas forced to quickly reprioritize what matteredmost. I spent the next five months undergoing chemotherapy treatment, determined to fight and hopeful for the future. Now, almost 10 years later,Iamproud to say Iamcancer-free.

As we observe National Colorectal Cancer Month in March, Iencourage everyonetoprioritize their health, starting with scheduling your routine cancer screenings.

When we think of ahealthy lifestyle, regular exercise, nutritiousfood andadequate sleep often come to mind. While these habits are essential, preventive care, includingregular cancer screenings, is just as critical to

AMedStar Health surveyfound that 60% of women aged 40 and over are not following theAmerican College of Radiology’s recommendation for annual mammogramsifthey are at average risk. More than 50 million people, 1 out 3eligible Americans, are not up to dateontheir colorectal cancer screenings, often due to the discomfort of traditional screening methods. More importantly, here at home, Louisiana ranks thirdinthe nation for colorectal cancer incidence, and it is the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths.

Iunderstandthe hesitation. Life getsbusy,and preventive care often falls to the bottom of thelist. Screenings may feel inconvenient, uncomfortable and even gross, but they are farless disruptive than alate-stage diagnosis.

As acancer survivor,I can say with certainty that acancer diagnosis is far morechallenging than any screening.

Forastrongerworkforce in La., reform in Legislatureisneeded

Julie Stokes GUEST COLUMNIST Steven Procopio

Louisiana’srecent tax reforms have improved the state’scompetitiveness, but lasting economic growth will stall without astronger workforce. Thatis why enacting policies to help businesses meet their workforce needsmust start now Across industries, employers continue toreport difficulty finding workers with the skills required for their jobs. At the same time,many Louisianans struggle to connect with opportunities that offer good-payingjobsand long-term career paths. This disconnect isthe reason Public Affairs Research Council andLeaders for aBetter Louisiana are joiningforces to call for the state’srenewed and sustained focuson workforce development, particularly in theongoing legislative session This is not simply alabor shortage. It is apersistentmismatch between the needs of businesses andthe preparation, awareness and mobility of ourworkforce.

If Louisiana wants to fully capitalize on its economic reforms, infrastructure investments andemerging industries, we must strengthen the systems thatconnect education and training to theneedsofemployers. The challenge is visible in thedata Louisiana’slabor force participation rate hovers around 58% —43rd worst amongstatesand several points below the national average. That gap represents over100,000 working-age adultswho areneither working nor actively seeking work.Evenmodestimprovementswould translate into significant gainsfor families, businesses and the state’seconomy

At the same time, the statereports roughly 124,000 jobs open statewide, compared with about88,000individuals activelyseeking employment. This imbalance reflects issues involving workforce solutions foremployers,skills relevance and alignment in education and the ability of individuals to navigate fromeducation or training into the available jobs

Thesepressures areunfolding at apivotal moment forLouisiana’seconomy

The state has seen significantjobs announcements and capital investment in recentyears across manufacturing, energy,technologyand othersectors. While these projects create opportunity, theseannouncements alone do not guarantee broad-based prosperity. Without aworkforce prepared at thenecessary scale with theright skills or employers able to addresstheir talent shortages, Louisiana risksconstraining growth and limiting the benefitsofthatinvestment. This is not afailure of workers or employers: It is a systems challenge. Louisiana’sworkforce development, education and economic development effortsoften don’toperate in alignment. Studentsstruggle to understandhow academicchoicesconnect to careers. Employers struggle to find training partners responsive to rapidly changing skill needs. Workforce programsare difficultto navigate, fragmented across agenciesand inconsistent in their coordination.

Improving outcomes requires strengthening these connections. Better career counselingcan help stu-

Andwith the introduction of less invasive technologies, completing recommended cancer screeningsisbecoming more accessible than ever.Weknow it is highly treatable when caught early National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and other awareness months exist to remind us that early detection saves lives. Awareness alone is not enough; action is what makes the difference.

dentsmake informed decisions about education and training pathways. Clearer workforce signals can help institutions align programswith high-demand fields. Stronger partnerships among business, higher education and workforce agencies can acceleratethe transition from classroom to career Louisianaalready has examples of progress to build upon. The M.J. Foster PromiseProgram is funding working-age adults to earncredentials in high-demand fields. Industry partnerships, apprenticeships and technical training programs are expanding in key sectors. Regional collaborations are demonstrating how employers and educators can work together to meet workforce needs. These efforts show thattargeted investmentsand intentional alignment can produce real results.

Butisolated successes are not enough. Louisiana must scale what works and removebarriers thatlimit participation.

That meanssimplifying how individuals access education and training, strengthening coordination across agencies and institutions, improving transparency around outcomes and ensuring accountabilityfor results. Workforce development should function as an integrated strategy,not acollection of disconnected programs.

The stakes extend beyond economic development Workforce policy is also economic mobilitypolicy When Louisianans can access training thatleads to stable, well-paying careers, families benefit.Communities benefit.Employers benefit. The statebenefits. Conversely,when individuals remain disconnected from opportunity,the consequences are felt in lower incomes,reduced growth and widening inequality. Louisianahas meaningful economic opportunity ahead. The question is whether the statecan connect its people to that growthatthe scale required. Workforce development is thebridge between economic development and shared prosperity for Louisiana families. We believe that workforce reform is one of theurgent issues Louisianaleaders must address during the 2026 legislative session.

Take timetolearn which cancer screenings are recommended for your age and risk level. Talk with your physician about your testing options. Give yourself the best possible chance against cancer by prioritizing early and timely cancer screenings. Your health matters. Take action to protect it.

As acareer educator and now asuperintendent, I’ve spent my career witnessing firsthand the transformative power of education. But one lesson stands out above all: The earlier we engage children in structured learning, the stronger their foundation for lifelong success. Research consistently showsthat children whoattend high-quality preKprogramsget ameaningful head start in learning. Amultistate study by the National Institute forEarly Education Research found that children whoparticipated in pre-K entered kindergarten with stronger language, literacy and mathskills. Through play and meaningful interactions, early learning environments help children build these essential skills while developing confidence and enthusiasm forschool. Most importantly these programshelp children feel confident and ready to participate in school, socially and academically

low routines, manage their emotions and workpositively with peers and adults, skills that support healthy social and emotional growth. Alongside academic learning, students build confidence, independence and a love of learning, all of which makethe transition to kindergarten smoother and more successful.

During the 2023-2024 school year,nearly 19,515 Louisiana children were enrolled in publicly funded pre-K programs. That’sa great start, but fartoo many families still face barriers to access. By expanding pre-K4, we are making sure that every 4-year-old in our community has the chance to start school with confidence and excitement about learning.

Studies show that children from lower-incomefamilies and those learning English as asecond language often see someofthe biggest benefits from pre-K,which meansexpanding access is not just a good idea, it’sthe right thing to do.

In St. Charles Parish Public Schools, thanks to the school board’sforesight and commitment, pre-K4enrollment is now open to every child in the parish. Classroomsare led by certified educators whounderstand just how important these early years are. Children learn how to fol-

Even long-term research confirms the lasting impact of high-quality pre-K.A20year study by Georgetown University followed children whoattended Tulsa’suniversal pre-K program and found that the benefits extend far past kindergarten. Students were morelikely to stay on track academically through high school, take advanced courses, graduate on time and enroll in college. Studies like this reaffirm what we see in our classroomsevery day: Early learning shapes children’s futures, equipping them with the skills and habits they need to thrive throughout school and into adulthood. Every child deserves a jumpstart on learning, and every family deserves the support to make that possible. Programs like pre-K4are morethan just ahead start in academics; they’re an investment in our children, our families and our entire community.I can’toverstate how important these early opportunities are. When children develop confidence, independence and alove of learning early on, those traits stay with them throughout their educational journey Iamsograteful to our families, educators and community partners whocontinue to makeour schools aplace where children can discover whothey are and what they can achieve. Together,we can ensure that every child starts their educational journey with the support, confidence and opportunities they deserve.

COMMENTARY

Residentslook on and takepictures as flames and smokerise from an oil

storagefacility struck as attacks hitthe city during the U.S.–Israeli militarycampaign in Tehran, Iran, on March 7.

ISSUE OF THE WEEK IRAN WAR

As the war in Iran dragson, pollsshowthe American public is growing more skeptical of itsaims. President Donald Trump hastried to reassure thecountry that theU.S.iswinning and the war will be over soon.Thisweek, he saidthat talks have begun with Irantoreacha deal,but Iranians have deniedthat there are anynegotiationsunder way.What is thepolitical fallout forthe president and the Republican Partyifthe war doesn’tend quickly? Here are twoperspectives:

To quietall thecritics, Trumpneeds shortwar

How many times has President Donald Trump said that the war in Iran,now entering its fourth week,will be brief? Many.Iasked Grokfor 20 examples of Trump promising ashort war,and gotalistvery quickly.Here are afew:

“This war will be over very soon.”

“I think you’ll see it’sgoing to be ashort-term excursion.”

U.S.and world economies.

Iran notthe jauntWhite Houseistryingtosell

Here we go again.

might be draft bait.

“We’re getting very close to finishing it is going to be ended soon.”

“We’re way ahead of schedule it won’tbemuch longer.”

“Weprojected four to five weeks but we’re substantially aheadofschedule.”

“It’sgoing to be ended soon .we’re getting very close.”

No president wants to promise the public years of war.But why hasTrump pledged brevitysoearly andsooften, beginning almost the moment the war began? After all, pollsfrom the first U.S.Israeli attack on Iran showedthat, while there was significant public oppositionto the war,support among Trump’ssupporterswas high. It has stayedthatway The fear,ofcourse, was thatvoters would take Trump’scampaign vownot to takethe nationtowar —“I’m not going to start awar,I’m going to stop wars,” he promised on the night of his comeback wininNovember 2024 —and apply it to the situation in Iran. But so farat least, Trump’ssupporters have stuck with him on the new war

Of course, campaign Trump vowed even more often to stay outofwhathe calledendless wars. But endless clearly means endless, or at least protracted, conflicts. Trump obviously feelshecan use the military for quick strikes, like the June 2025 bombing of Iran’snuclear facilities or the January 2026 operation in Venezuela. They were brief and effective uses of U.S. military power,and are in no sense endless engagements. The political problem for Trump is that at some point, abrief and effective use of U.S. military power becomes something morethan that. Yes, aconflict would have to go on for along time before it qualifies as endless. But atthe moment, Trump is deeply worried about the war’s economic effects; awar does not have to be endless to do alot of damage to the

In addition, Trump has toworry about that pointatwhich the Iran war takes itsplace as amajor,largescalewar not aquick hit but Gulf WarIII, after wars in theregion pursued by President George H.W.Bushin1991 and President GeorgeW.Bush in 2003. Trump surely would not like to be in those presidents’ company as aPersian Gulfwarrior. Neither would Vice President JD Vance,a vehement critic of Iraq-style wars and Trump’spossible 2028 successor. At amidterm campaign appearance in Michigan last week, Vance quoted Trump to stress that thewar-related energy price increaseswill be a“temporary blip.” And Vance added: “Nobody likes war,right?And Iguarantee you the president of theUnited States is not interestedingetting us in thekind of long-term quagmires that we’veseenin years past.”

There is concern in thosewords.This war,evennow,will have consequences. After joining Israel in suchabroadbasedattack, U.S. forces cannot just disappear. For example, anew op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by two veteran foreignpolicyanalysts notes, “If Trump winsthis war politically and militarily victory will entail new burdens. The security of the Persian Gulf will be America’s responsibility. American destroyers circulating permanently in the Gulf is alikely future.”

That’snot the kind of thing the Trump politicalbasewill be delighted to hear, even if they approve of the war’s first days. The needle Trump needs to thread is to minimize those “newburdens” so that he can saytohis supporters thatU.S forces gotinquickly,fixed theproblem, and got outquickly.Whether that is plausible or not is another question. Until then, Trump continues topromise aquickwar.How many defendersofthe war have answered critics by saying, “Holdon, it’sonly been aweek,” or two weeks, or three weeks?Indeed, it hasn’t beenlong. But it’sbeen long enough for the White House to be worried.

EmailByron York at byork@washingtonexaminer.com

What else can one say to thestream of misinformation and disinformation flowing out of the WhiteHouseand Pentagon since thewar withIran broke out?

We have grown wearily familiar withPresident Donald Trump’s cavalier relationship with the facts. Combine that with his tendency to snatch words out of the air,appropriately or not,and you come up withajumble of head-scratchers.

Aleading example is his repeated oddball description of the Iran war as an “excursion,”which caused brows to furrow and eyeballs to roll in newsroomsaround the planet. Excursion? Does the president know the true meaning of theword?

Tendays intothe war,Trump summedup the situationthis way to reporters: “Wetook alittleexcursion because we felt we hadto do that to getrid of some evil. And Ithink you’ll see it’s going to be ashort-term excursion. Howgood is our military,right? Amazing. How good? Short term. Short term.”

Right. The war had already killeda halfdozen American troops and injured about 150.

Then there’s theTomahawk missile that flattened an Iranian elementary school, killing at least 175 civilians, mostofthem children. This is some excursion.

Predictably,the war has shaken up the already unstable Middle Eastand drivenoil prices skyward. Some industry experts are calling it the largestoil shock in history.But Trump dismissed that as something he’d already thought of.

“Wefigured oil prices would go up, which theywill. They’ll also comedown,” he said on March 7. “They’ll comedown very fast.”

Brent crude traded above$100abarrelin recent days,and some observers seeitsurging much higher if thewar starts spiraling.

As Iwritethis, theIranianmilitary isn’t quite ready for theexcursion to be over

The growing war concerns caused me to flash back to an earlier era, when an excursioninSoutheastAsia to help afriend with their colonial problems became the Vietnam War. Iremember it vividly because Ihappened to be in college and of age for conscription. We used to sayoncampus,nothing concentratesthe mind like the realizationthat you

If you’re too young to remember,take it from me. Furor over the draft became aleading reason why Americans have not had adraft since then.

Other reminders of the Vietnam era are all the hazy spitball takes on just what the nature and duration of our commitment is.

Asked in early March how long this excursion might take, the president offered that it could take four to five weeks. Days later, he bragged that Iran had better watch out because the U.S. had“virtually unlimited supply” of munitions andthat it could fight awar “forever.”

Later,heput aside his initial four-to-fiveweekestimate and declared, “whatever it takes.”

Trump and Co. have also been mendacious. Trump claimed that Iran had bombed the elementary school. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell blamed Iran for using the school as a“human shield” for its missile and drone launchers.

But as the New York Timesreported, an ongoing military investigation suggests the Feb. 28 airstrike on the school “wasthe result of atargeting mistake by the U.S. military,which wasconducting strikesonan adjacent Iranian base.”

Officers at U.S. CentralCommand apparently “created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense IntelligenceAgency.”

In other words, as many of my fellow veterans (Yes, Uncle Sam’sdraft finally got me) understand all too well, the tragedy stemmed from abad old-fashioned SNAFU. “Situation Normal, All Fouled Up,” as we would sayin the linguistically cleaned-up version. That’swhat happens whenyou go on an excursion with gunboats and cruise missiles. Some folks get caught up in the glory,others marvel at the flash-bang technologies. But, as muchasthe weapons of war may change they tend to slaughter alot of innocents along with enemycombatants.

What Trump is presenting as alittle excursion is, for Iran, an existential struggle. Whatever one thinks of the U.S.’scapability to take out the mullahs and their military, they seem to have the power to take agreat deal down with them.

Thirty years later,Santana’s“Smooth” collaboration with Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas introduced him to the MTV generation.

“Atthis point,the whole world is my house,” he said. “It’s justadifferent room.”

You’ve performed in New Orleans frequently in recent years. It reminds me of Tijuana. It’sa very vibrant city. People are very

Just likeitwas for the Neville Brothers, music for you is more than just music. The commonality is African music

All of us playAfrican music.People in America, theycallitLatin, or they callitSpanish. But it’snot Spanish Spanish music is more likeflamenco. African music is the center of allthe music that Ilove, whichisrhythms.

Whydid youoriginally gravitate to the guitar instead of apercussion instrument? Because Istarted playing theviolin. My father was aviolin player He taught me violin,and then he taughtmeguitar.I couldarticulate better melodies on theguitar than on drums —although thedrums can be very melodic as well. Iarticulate that samelanguage that Bad Bunny did at the Super Bowl(halftime show). It’s called all-inclusiveness. Melody is what’sgoing to unite the world. Not the pope and not politicians —melody Is that whyyou namedyour current tour Oneness? Unity,harmony,oneness. That’s what Woodstock is and will always be. There was no fights, there was no conflict, there was no disharmony. We still talk about Woodstock to this day because there was harmonybackstage.

In 1971, you recruited ateenageguitarist named Neal Schon to play on the “Santana III” album Schon and keyboardist Gregg Rolie eventually left Santana and founded Journey.In2016, you reunited with Schon and Rolie forthe “Santana 4” record.

It was very beautiful because they brought the samechemistry. The thing about the first three Santana albumsisthe chemistry thealchemy of making one sound out of all those people —Gregg Rolie, (drummer)Michael Shrieve, Neal Schon, (percussionist) Michael Carabello and (bassist) David Brown. Icould tell by theway people looked at us, from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Sly Stone to Jimi Hendrix to everybody in Europe,thatwehad something different. It was different thanCrosby Stills &Nash, different than theBeatles or the Rolling Stones.

People were intrigued because they saw thewomen being really aroused with our music. AndImean really aroused. They become aware that they are women, and like flowers, they need watering.

People started realizing there’sgot to be something about congas and timbales in the sound. There’ssomethingabout rhythms that is very sensuous and divine. It’slike adding spices like garlic and jalapenos and onions. The food is different.

Neal Schonwas still ateenager but yousaw something in him that youthought would work within your band. At that time, Peter Green had another guitar player (in Fleetwood Mac). The Allman Brothers had another guitar player.Eric Clapton waswith another guitar player from Delaney &Bonnie; when he did “Layla,” he wasplaying with Duane Allman. So Isaid, “I’m going to invite Neal to have aduet.” And it worked. It really worked, especially whenwe did songs like “Jungle Strut” or “Song of the Wind.”

Neal’savery soulful, melodic person. He’svery inventive. Itold Neal, “When you show up, it’sJourney If you don’tshow up, it’sa tribute.”

The1999 album “Supernatural” wasthe biggest of your career (Hit singles) “Smooth” and “Maria Maria” took it to awhole other level. I’m very grateful to (Arista Records founder) Mr.Clive Davis. I’mvery grateful to (promoter) Bill Graham. Because of them, Iwalked into the biggest doors Iever walked into. Because of Bill Graham, Iwalked into Woodstock. Because of Clive Davis, I walked into “Supernatural.” Iowe them alot. They went out of their way, believing in me, sometimes even before Ibelieved in myself Clive Davis’ mastery is radio hits. That wasn’t something that Iunder-

But Clive Davis convinced me that with the right songs, Icould be on the radio and touch the four corners of the world at a whole other level. Itrusted him and he trusted me and we did something together Does your setlist on the “Oneness Tour” span multiple decades? It’s today,tomorrow and aplace that is like acorner forthe unknown.

Denis Waitley, amotivational speaker and author, said, “The reason most peoplenever reach their goals is that they don’t define them or even seriouslyconsider them as believable or achievable.
