WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden, in his first major gun control measures since taking office, is announcing executive actions Thursday aimed President Joe at address- Biden ing what the White House calls a “gun violence public health epidemic.”

Biden also is nominating David Chipman, a former federal agent and adviser at the gun control group Giffords, to be director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Biden has faced increasing pressure to act after a recent series of mass shootings, but the White House has repeatedly emphasized the need for legislative action. While the House passed a background-check bill last month, gun control measures face slim prospects in an evenly divided Senate, where Republicans remain near-unified against most proposals.

A White House fact sheet said those shootings “underscored the relentlessness” of the epidemic.

Biden is to be joined at the late morning Rose Garden event by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Most of the actions are coming from the Justice Department.

Biden is tightening regulations of buyers of “ghost guns” — homemade firearms that usually are assembled from parts and milled with a metal-cutting machine and often lack serial numbers used to trace them. It’s legal to build a gun in a home or a workshop and there is no federal requirement for a background check. The goal is to “help stop the proliferation of these firearms,” according

Are some vaccines more effective?

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press

Are some COVID-19 vaccines more effective than others?

It’s hard to tell since they weren’t directly compared in studies. But experts say the vaccines are alike on what matters most: preventing hospitalizations and deaths.

“Luckily, all these vaccines look like they’re protecting us from severe disease,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, citing study results for five vaccines used around the world and a sixth that’s still in review.

And real-world evidence as millions of people receive the vaccines show See VACCINE | Page A3

IHS tackles the Brothers Grimm

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

Everyone knows the Brothers Grimm fairy tales can be a little, well, grim.

But did you know they can also be hilarious?

Iola High School’s drama students tackle all 209 fairy tales in 60 minutes, starting at 7 p.m. tonight and Friday with the play, “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon.” It will be performed at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, where coronavirus restrictions are required, including wearing masks and social distancing.

The play offers a fun romp through tales both familiar and bizarre, with a relatively small cast portraying a very large number of characters.

Two narrators serve as your guides through this madcap circus adventure.

The versatile Austin Morris, with his gregarious and frenetic energy, leads the audience through twists and turns. The delightful Hannah Andersen plays a sort of “good cop” to his slightly maniacal character, calmly bringing the show back to order.

As an audience member, you will be a vital part of the show. You’ll need to provide sound effects, and your enthusiasm is vital to the well-being of at least one

The story starts with a twist to a familiar tale, as the clueless “Girl” played by Macie Hoag sells her soul to not just one but three evil characters: the devil, a troll and an evil enchantress. She promises her unborn daughter in exchange for a prince and gold.

We all know that’s not going to turn out well for anyone, but Hoag plays the role with the right amount of naivety and self-centered stupidity.

All students take on several roles, giving them multiple opportunities to shine.

Tool could speed end Senate stops child anti-vaccine measure to KS coal plants

By TIM CARPENTER Kansas Reflector

By BRIAN GRIMMETT Kansas News Service

WICHITA, Kansas — Utility companies in Kansas will soon have a new accounting tool that could speed the closure of coal-fired power plants — and save customers money.

The financial tool is known as securitization.

It’s not a new idea, but it is complex. The Kansas Legislature passed a bill approving the use of the tool after more than two years of discussion.

It’s a way for a utility company to refinance what it owes on some of its large investments — think mostly coal plants — at a much lower interest rate.

Instead of paying off an old loan at a higher interest rate, a utility can clear the debt from building a plant off its books, replacing that cost with a lower-interest bond backed by bill-paying customers.

And while the debt is paid off through the new bonds, the utility has new freedom to switch to cheaper sources of energy like wind, solar.

One key is how the sort of return utility shareholders are promised by state regulators.

Without the refinancing, they’re promised about a 9% return on the money they invested in an old power plant. With the refinancing, the company no longer makes a return on the plant and customers only have to pay the interest from the bond — about 2%.

Closing a plant also eliminates operational and maintenance expenses. If replaced with renewable energy, a closure also eliminates fuel costs. A utility company doesn’t make money on that fuel, but does pass the expense on to customers.

Ashok Gupta, an energy economist with the Natural Resource Defense Council, said replacing coal with renewable energy is better for the environment, less expensive to operate and provides utilities with new investment opportunities.

“That’s what creates this win-win-win for utilities, their customers and the environment,” he said.

Kansas expects many fewer J&J vaccine doses TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas expects to receive significantly fewer doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in the next few weeks, state health officials said Wednesday.

The state estimates it will receive 5,000 doses next week and 1,700 doses each of the last two weeks of April, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said.

Kansas had expected to receive 15,800 doses during those weeks, the department said.

The department did not give a reason for the decrease. But Johnson & Johnson had to discard 15 million doses in late March when a

batch made at a Baltimore plant did not meet quality standards.

“We are alerting all providers now as this will have (a) significant impact on planning for the coming weeks,” a health department alert said.

Doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are expected to remain consistent with what has been received in recent weeks, The Wichita Eagle reported.

About 35,427 of the roughly 931,653 first doses of a vaccine administered in Kansas are from Johnson & Johnson. In Kansas, 538,903 people, or 18.5% of the state’s population, have been fully vaccinated.

TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate rejected an amendment Wednesday that would strip the state’s top public health official from expanding the list of required vaccinations for children enrolled in schools or attending child-care facilities.

The measure offered

by Sen. Mark Steffen, R-Hutchinson, would have reduced authority of the secretary of Kansas Department of Health and Environment to issuing recommendations about child inoculations in response to emerging disease and evolution of science.

It would have represented a dramatic shift in the state’s approach to battling illness by moving decisions away from state health agency appointees and to the state’s elected legislators.

KDHE hasn’t issued an order requiring

children or adults to be given the COVID-19 vaccine.

Steffen said he was motivated by evidence the COVID-19 vaccine carried risk of injury or death and that families should have the liberty to decide whether their children received the shots.

“Think of it as playing Russian roulette.

When you’re taking that vaccine, you’re pulling the trigger,” said Steffen, who has a medical degree. “This amendment does not change current vaccination requirements in any way. It just blocks further forced vaccinations. I’m not an anti-vaccination guy. I’m a pro-individual-choice guy.”

The Senate voted 17-18, with both Democrats and Republicans opposed, to defeat Steffen’s amendment on the KDHE’s responsibilities with child vaccinations.

In Kansas, regulations require stu-

dents at various ages to receive vaccines for meningitis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, polio and chicken pox.

Sen. Pat Pettey, a Democrat from Kansas City, Kansas, said shifting decisions about vaccinations away from KDHE appeared designed to politicize a pandemic requiring a medical response. The state’s roster of required vaccinations was adopted

in the 1970s and had been modified three times, she said.

“I don’t want to see an outbreak of measles or mumps or meningitis,” she said. “This amendment puts it into the partisan field of legislation, which I do not think is best for Kansas.”

“When we have those experts that deal with our children across the state saying the same thing, I think we should be listening to them.”

GOP: Use public dollars for private schools

By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Conservative Republican lawmakers on Wednesday tied funding for Kansas’ public schools to a proposal that would allow parents of academically struggling students to use state dollars to pay for private schooling.

Republican negotiators for the state House and Senate drafted the final version of legislation that would set up education savings accounts for students who are at-risk of failing in public schools, using tax dollars normally earmarked for those schools. Parents could use the state funds to cover a wide range of educational expenses to help their children, including tuition at private schools.

The measure is part of an education bill that also includes Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s proposal to provide $5.2 billion in state aid to public school districts for the 2021-22 school year, a 5.3% increase in line with laws enacted in 2018 and 2019 to boost education funding. The laws complied with Kansas Supreme Court rulings in a school finance lawsuit that remains before the

justices.

“They go hand in hand,” said Rep. Kristey Williams, an Augusta Republican and the chair of the House committee that drafted the chamber’s school choice proposals. “We’re concerned with the kids that are failing in our schools.”

Final votes on the legislation were expected this week in both the Republican-controlled House and the GOP-dominated Senate.

Conservatives’ push for what they’re calling a “Student Empowerment Program” and their strategy of linking it to funding for public schools sets up a confrontation with Kelly.

Such a measure also could lead to another legal challenge before the state’s highest court after seven rulings from 2013 to 2019 forced Republican lawmakers to spending more on schools than they otherwise would have. John Robb, one of the attorneys for four school districts that sued the state in 2010, said they’re watching what becomes law before deciding whether to ask the state Supreme Court to intervene again.

short of saying she would veto such a measure, but she said last week when the House passed its version of the legislation that the measure would “cut millions in funding from public schools and harm our students.”

Democrats and education groups labeled the House’s version of the bill the “Frankenstein” education bill. State Rep. Valdenia Winn, of Kansas City, Kansas, the House Democrats’ lead negotiator on education issues, said the plan for education savings accounts would “kill public education.”

“Everybody’s dancing around the cost — I mean, the serious impact on public education funding,” Winn said.

Under the negotiators’ plan, the state would launch the new education savings program in 2022, with the state treasurer overseeing it. Students would qualify for an account if they are not working at grade level or have a “high rate” of absences, but also if they are homeless or have dyslexia.

3 Months $43.23 $50.62 $53.51 $55.60 $43.23

1 Month $14.90 $20.99 $21.75 $22.20 $14.90

It’s not clear how much the state would put in total into education savings accounts.

Williams believes about 5,000 of the 472,000 students in the state’s public K-12 schools would get accounts — making up to $23.5 million available, based on the proposed aid levels for 2021-22. But Democrats argue the bill would make the parents of tens of thousands of students eligible — siphoning off potentially hundreds of million of dollars from public schools.

“Is it a way of using public funds to fund private education?

Well, of course it is,” said Mark Tallman, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards. “To me, it really doesn’t matter what you call it.”

The final version of the legislation also would expand a program giving a state income tax credit to donors to funds that provide private-school scholarships to atrisk students in public schools. The tax credits are capped at $10 million a year and have yet to be fully used.

US jobless claims up to 744K as virus still forces layoffs WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to 744,000, signaling that many employers are still cutting jobs even as more people are vaccinated against COVID-19, consumers gain confidence and the government distributes aid throughout the economy.

The Labor Department said Thursday that applications increased by 16,000 from 728,000 a week earlier.

Jobless claims have declined sharply since the virus slammed into the economy in March of

Jobless claims have declined sharply since the virus slammed into the economy in March of last year. But they remain stubbornly high by historical standards.

last year. But they remain stubbornly high by historical standards: Before the pandemic erupted, weekly applications typically remained below 220,000 a week.

For the week ending March 27, more than 3.7 million people were receiving traditional state

unemployment benefits, the government said. If you include supplemental federal programs that were established last year to help the unemployed endure the health crisis, a total of 18.2 million are receiving some form of jobless aid the week of March 20.

Economists monitor weekly jobless claims for early signs of where the job market is headed. Applications are usually a proxy for layoffs: They typically decline as the economy improves. Or they rise as employers retrench in response to sluggish consumer demand.

During the pandemic, though, the numbers have become a less reliable barometer. States have struggled to clear backlogs of unemployment applications, and suspected fraud has clouded the actual volume of job cuts.

By nearly all mea-

sures, though, the economy has been strengthening. During March, employers added 916,000 jobs, the most since August, and the unemployment rate declined from 6.2% to 6%. In February, the pace of job openings reached its highest level on record. Last month, consumer confidence posted its highest reading in a year.

And this week, the International Monetary Fund forecast that the U.S. economy will grow 6.4% this year. That would fastest annual pace since 1984 and the strongest among the world’s wealthiest coun-

tries.

Most economists say they think the still-high level of unemployment applications should gradually fade.

“Jobless claims may bounce around week to week as the recovery takes hold, but we expect they will start to decline more consistently as the economy gains momentum,” economists Nancy Vanden Houten and Gregory Daco of Oxford Economics said in a research note. “We expect the stellar March jobs report to be the first of many and look for a hiring boom in the spring and summer months.’’

Guns: Former gun control advisor tapped for ATF director Continued from A1

to the White House.

The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule aimed at reining in ghost guns within 30 days, though details of the rule weren’t immediately issued.

A second proposed rule, expected within 60 days, will tighten regulations on pistol-stabilizing braces, like the one used by the Boulder, Colorado, shooter in a rampage last month that left 10 dead. The rule will designate pistols used with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles, which require a federal license to own and are subject to a more thorough application process and a $200 tax.

The department also is publishing model legislation within 60 days that is intended to make it easier for states to adopt their own “red flag” laws. Such laws allow for individuals to petition a court to allow the police to confiscate weapons from a person deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.

The department also will begin to provide more data on firearms trafficking, starting with a new comprehensive report on the issue.

The administration says that hasn’t been done in more than two decades.

Biden also is making investments in community violence intervention programs, which are aimed at reducing gun violence in urban communities, across five federal agencies.

Officials said the executive actions were “initial steps” completed during Garland’s first weeks on the job and more may be coming.

The ATF is currently run by an acting director, Regina Lombardo.

Gun-control advocates have emphasized the significance of this position in enforcing gun laws, and Chipman is certain to win praise from this group. During his time as a senior policy adviser with Giffords, he spent considerable effort pushing for greater regulation and enforcement on

ghost guns, changes to the background check system and measures to reduce the trafficking of illegal firearms.

Chipman spent 25 years as an agent at the ATF, where he worked on stopping a trafficking ring that sent illegal firearms from Virginia to New York, and served on the ATF’s SWAT team. Chipman is a gun owner.

He is an explosives expert and was among the team involved in investigating the Oklahoma City bombing and the first World Trade Center bombing. He also was involved in investigating a series of church bombings in Alabama in the 1990s. He retired from the ATF in 2012.

The White House fact sheet said Chipman has worked “to advance common-sense gun safety laws.”

During his campaign, Biden promised to prioritize new gun control measures as president, including enacting universal background check legislation, ban-

ning online sales of firearms and the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. But gun-control advocates have said that while they were heartened by signs from the White House that they took the issue seriously, they’ve been disappointed by the lack of early action.

With the announcement of the new measures, however, advocates lauded Biden’s first moves to combat gun violence.

“Each of these executive actions will start to address the epidemic of gun violence that has raged throughout the pandemic, and begin to make good on President Biden’s promise to be the strongest gun safety president in history,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety.

Feinblatt in particular praised the move to regulate ghost guns, which he said “will undoubtedly save countless lives,” and lauded Chipman as an “invalu-

able point person” in the fight against illegal gun trafficking. He also said the group is looking forward to continuing to work with the Biden administration on further gun control measures, but it’s unclear what next moves the White House, or lawmakers on Capitol Hill, will be able to take.

Biden himself expressed uncertainty late last month when asked if he had the political capital to pass new gun control proposals, telling reporters, “I haven’t done any counting yet.”

For years, federal officials have been sounding the alarm about an increasing black market for homemade, military-style semi-automatic rifles and handguns. Ghost guns have increasingly turned up at crime scenes and in recent years have been turning up more and more when feder-

al agents are purchasing guns in undercover operations from gang members and other criminals.

It is hard to say how many are circulating on the streets, in part because in many cases police departments don’t even contact the federal government about the guns because they can’t be traced.

Some states, like California, have enacted laws in recent years to require serial numbers be stamped on ghost guns.

The critical component in building an untraceable gun is what is known as the lower receiver, a part typically made of metal or polymer. An unfinished receiver — sometimes referred to as an “80-percent receiver” — can be legally bought online with no serial numbers or other markings on it, no license required.

Vaccine: All doses are highly effective Continued from A1

they’re all working very well.

Still, people might wonder if one is better than another since studies conducted before the vaccines were rolled out found varying levels of effectiveness. The problem is they don’t offer apples-to-apples comparisons.

Consider the two-dose vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, found to be about 95% effective at preventing illness.

Studies for those shots counted a COVID-19 case whether it was mild, moderate or severe — and were conducted before worrisome mutated versions of the virus began circulating.

Then Johnson & Johnson tested a single-dose vaccine and didn’t count mild illnesses. J&J’s shot was 66% protective against moderate to severe illness in a large international study. In just the U.S., where there’s

less spread of variants, it was 72% effective.

More importantly, once the vaccine’s effect kicked in it prevented hospitalization and death.

AstraZeneca’s twodose vaccine used in many countries has faced questions about the exact degree of its effectiveness indicated by studies. But experts agree those shots, too, protect against the worst outcomes.

Around the world,

hospitalizations are dropping in countries where vaccines have been rolling out including Israel, England and Scotland — regardless of which shots are given. And the U.S. government’s first look at real-world data among essential workers provided further evidence that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are highly protective — 90% — against infections whether there were symptoms or not.

Arkansas: The anti-trans bully As the economy recovers, many Republicans have turned to culture wars to unite the GOP and boost their political standing. As he vetoed an egregiously anti-transgender bill, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) argued Monday that his party should not be so eager to exploit cultural divisions for political benefit, at least when doing so would gratuitously harm real people.

“The nation is looking at Arkansas because I have on my desk another bill passed by the General Assembly that is a product of the cultural war in America,” Mr. Hutchinson said, warning that the bill “would put the state as the definitive oracle of medical care overriding parents, patients and healthcare experts.”

The state legislature promptly ignored Mr. Hutchinson’s cautions, overriding his veto on Tuesday and making Arkansas the poster child for ignorant anti-transgender reaction.

Mr. Hutchinson is not a notable ally of the LGBTQ community. He said that he would have signed the bill if its restrictions were not quite as extreme. The bill does not just ban gender transition surgery for minors. It also ends hormone therapy for young people, even for those already undergoing it, a potentially shocking disruption to their treatment. Moreover, denying gender transition services short of surgery does nothing to prevent surgical “experimentation” on transgender youth, which is what the bill’s advocates say they oppose.

Rather, it encourages depres-

sion, hopelessness and suicide among young Arkansans struggling with their gender identities.

State lawmakers promote an oblivious view of transgender youth and their treatment as some kind of Dr. Frankenstein fantasy. The protests of people who are actually transgender and those who care for them — that gender transitioning is not experimental, that people undergo intensive therapy and screening before transitioning is considered, that hormone therapy is introduced carefully in stages that reflect patients’ age and development, that those who undergo the transition process emerge relieved to feel more themselves — did not deter majorities in the Arkansas legislature from picking on a small, often misunderstood portion of the population. The bill’s mean, petty spirit is revealed in the fact that gender transition surgery is not performed on Arkansas youths, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Fewer than 200 are even on hormone therapy.

Mr. Hutchinson said he hoped his veto would prompt the legislature to reflect on the bill. Instead, on Tuesday the state House voted 71 to 24 and the state Senate voted 25 to 8 to override his veto. Now the best hope is that Arkansas serves as a warning to the other states, such as Alabama and Tennessee, considering similar anti-transgender policies. No state should covet the distinction that Arkansas now has: that of chief anti-trans bully.

A look back in t me.

40 Years Ago April 1981

In results that can be described as nothing less than extraordinary, four write-in candidates were elected to city government positions in Humboldt yesterday. Alvin Lassman, a former Humboldt mayor and former Allen County Commissioner, unseated incumbent mayor Tom Rutledge, 440-268. Elected to the city council by write-in votes were Harvey Mueller, Dale Marney and Larry Kaufman.

The write-in campaigns were sparked by the decision by

the council to allow the cable television franchise to lapse, ending service to Humboldt subscribers last week. ***** LONE ELM — The voters of Lone Elm decided, 28 to 2, not to unincorporate the city in Tuesday’s election. So the city remains a city. ***** Ivan Strickler, Iola dairyman, was elected president of Mid-America Dairymen, Inc., the second-largest milk cooperative in the United States, by the board of directors on March 31.

Fresh messages adorn the U.S. Bank building as the trial of Derek Chauvin continues Monday, April 5, in Minneapolis. (MARK VANCLEAVE/MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE/TNS)

Lessons learned in George Floyd trial Perhaps the life of George Floyd would have been spared if Derek Chauvin and the three other Minneapolis police officers with him had just paid attention. Not just attention to Floyd as he cried for “momma” and said over and over he could not breathe, but attention to the bystanders who gathered around as Chauvin put his knee to Floyd’s neck, reapplying pressure at incremental moments, for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. What if police had heeded the cries from those people begging Chauvin to let up and the other officers to intervene, because Floyd had been subdued and was now in distress? But they did not.

The concerns of these people were invisible to the officers, or, even worse, they were seen as agitators with the audacity to question police authority. Officer Tou Thao took on the roll of crowd enforcer, prosecutors said, blowing off resident complaints. Now Floyd is dead, and Chauvin is on trial for taking his life.

The first week of testimony in Chauvin’s trial put on full display what can go horribly wrong when police view the community with such little regard, and gave a glimpse into the fractured relationships around the country between police and the neighborhoods that they are supposed to protect, especially when the residents are Black and brown. Baltimore was one of those cities where police were cited for bad relationships with the community in a federal consent decree. In Minneapolis last week, witness after witness expressed their own guilt and anguish for not being able to

intervene in Floyd’s killing — the actions of Chauvin not just taking a life, but traumatizing a whole community.

With each testimony came the same feeling of hopelessness and fear of officers brazen enough to do what they did in front of scores of witnesses and as video cameras recorded. Tears flowed freely on the witness stand, many witnesses still visibly affected by what they saw.

Darnella Frazier, who recorded Floyd’s death and uploaded the video to Facebook when she was 17, testified that she has anxiety and is haunted by his death. She thinks about how it could have been her dad or any other Black man she knows to suffer that fate that day. Christopher Martin, a cashier at Cup Foods who received the $20 counterfeit bill at the center of Floyd’s arrest, said that he deleted video he took because he was scared of getting too involved. He too is filled with feelings of culpability over his connection to the death: What if he hadn’t reported the counterfeit money to his boss? A 9-year-old girl said she watched as Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck, even after an ambulance arrived.

How long will that image rest in that little girl’s brain?

In his cross-examination of emotional witnesses, defense attorney Eric Nelson painted the community as the antagonists and Chauvin and the officers as the heroes simply trying to do their jobs. He tried to get some witnesses to admit they were angry, as if to link the crowd’s behavior with Chauvin’s actions. The narrow defense only serves to prove the point of police

officers being apathetic to the communities that they patrol, and not being held accountable for their actions.

THIS “US VS THEM” culture that has permeated some departments has to change if policing is to be truly reformed in this country. Police who terrorize communities rather than work in tandem with them have done nothing to ease the violent crime in this country. Citizens who are fearful of the police and don’t see them as allies will work against them, or not work with them at all. Police who look at the community skeptically will escalate rather than de-escalate — and we will continue to hear more stories like that of George Floyd.

In the case of Chauvin, members of the police department aren’t putting up the blue shield to protect him. Even Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified against Chauvin, saying the former officer violated several policies, including those regarding use of force. He also said that Chauvin should have rendered medical aid to Floyd and should have released his knee from Floyd’s neck once the man appeared in distress.

Chauvin and the three other officers were fired the day after Floyd’s death.

It’s hard to convict a police officer in this country, but the evidence is stacking up against Chauvin. But we never had to get here. If only police had followed their own policies and listened to the people desperately pleading for rational action, George Floyd might be alive today.

Crisis at the Southern border needs more than money Faced with a burgeoning crisis at the southern border, President Joe Biden has pledged to increase economic assistance to countries in Central America’s Northern Triangle. He’s right to do so.

But money alone won’t be enough.

The three Northern Triangle countries — Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras — are some of the least developed nations in the Western Hemisphere, with poverty rates twice as high as in the rest of Latin America. The impact of the pandemic and two hurricanes in 2020 compounded the region’s misery, displacing hundreds of thousands and causing Central America’s economies to shrink by 6%. All three coun-

tries rank among the most violent and corrupt places on earth. Surveys show that more than 1 in 5 citizens say they’ve had to pay bribes to receive government services.

The Biden administration has called for providing $4 billion over four years to the three countries to address the “root causes” of emigration. That’s roughly double the amount spent by Donald Trump’s administration, which in recent years cut off aid to punish the countries for failing to crack down on migration. The U.S. has an interest in holding the region’s leaders accountable for their citizens’ welfare, but amid public-health and environmental calamities, Trump’s policy toward Central Amer-

ica was cruel and shortsighted. Wisely, Biden wants to reverse it.

At the same time, the administration should be clear-eyed about what this new assistance can achieve. Although the three countries got about $2.4 billion in aid between 2013 and 2018, a Government Accountability Office report concluded that “limited information is available about how U.S. assistance improved prosperity, governance, and security in the Northern Triangle.” Rather than rely on opaque bureaucracies to administer aid programs, the U.S. should adopt a more targeted approach. Diplomats in the region should work with civil-society groups that promote public transparency and

the rule of law. “Place-based” strategies that steer resources to areas that produce the highest numbers of migrants should be expanded. Biden should also boost support for anti-corruption commissions that have effectively exposed cases of embezzlement and collusion between government officials and organized crime.

Perhaps more important, the U.S. should try to promote economic growth in the three countries. Negotiating digital trade agreements would reduce operating costs for businesses and spur investment in the region’s nascent technology sector. Linking the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement with the Central America Free Trade Agreement

would encourage companies to reshore supply chains to the Northern Triangle by giving goods manufactured there duty-free access to the U.S. market. By one estimate, shifting just 5% of current investment in supply-chain production from China to Central America would create 1 million jobs in the region.

The factors causing so many to flee the Northern Triangle won’t subside overnight — but solving America’s border crisis requires that policymakers address them. A strategy that improves governance and promotes opportunity stands the best chance of helping the region’s people build better futures at home.

Biden digs in for negotiations over infrastructure and jobs plan

By CHRIS MEGERIAN Los Angeles Times (TNS)

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden, anticipating intense negotiations with Congress over his infrastructure and jobs plan, said Wednesday that he was willing to compromise but would not slow his push for one of the most bold and expensive proposals in recent years.

He continued to press his case for the domestic initiative in global terms, saying that autocratic leaders around the world, particularly in China, were counting on the United States being too sluggish or divided to make the nec-

essary investments in roads, bridges, electric grids and more.

“We can’t afford to prove them right,” Biden said from the White House complex.

“We have to show the world — and much more importantly, we have to show ourselves — that democracy works, that we can come together on the big things.”

Biden wants to spend more than $2 trillion over eight years, which would be financed by higher corporate tax rates. However, Republicans and some Democrats have objected, and he said, “I’m willing to negotiate that.”

It’s likely that num-

ber will shift, and not just because of Republican opposition. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a key swing vote, said this week that Biden’s proposed 28% income tax rate on corporations was too high, and he’d

rather set it at 25%. The rate was 35% until former President Donald Trump signed legislation slashing it to 21% in late 2017.

“As the bill exists today, it needs to be changed,” Manchin told a West Virginia radio host.

Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday that Democrats could sidestep a potential Republican filibuster by pushing the legislation through the reconciliation process, which can be used for budget-related issues as it was earlier this year when Congress approved Biden’s $1.9 trillion pan-

demic-relief package.

Even so, they could not afford to lose a single vote in their 50-member caucus.

Biden defended his proposal against Republican criticism that he was including too many provisions unrelated to infrastructure, with less than 6% of the total spending going to roads and bridges.

“The idea of infrastructure has always evolved to meet the aspirations of the American people and their needs,” he said. “And it’s evolving again today.”

The proposal includes money to make broadband internet access universal, replace lead

pipes and build a network of charging stations for electric cars.

There’s also funding for research and development and to expand caregiving programs for the elderly and disabled.

Congress returns from its recess next week, and Biden wants a final deal passed this summer — an extremely ambitious timetable given the package’s scope and the political pitfalls.

“We’ll be listening.

We’ll be open to good ideas and good-faith negotiation,” Biden said.

“But here’s what we won’t be open to — we won’t be open to doing nothing. Inaction simply is not an option.”

Hoag returns as the iconic beauty forced to work as a servant in her own home, bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters.

But it’s Jonathon Poffenbarger who is the star of this tale.

He appeared earlier as a cast member more concerned about the catering than the action on stage. But when the food goes bad and the other actors are out of commission, he’s the only one left to fill their bloody shoes.

Over the course of a few minutes, Poffenbarger plays five different characters. Give props to the props, which help identify him in the various roles, but it’s Poffenbarger’s dex-

time.

It’s exhausting just watching him.

as far as health goes,” said Alvarez, “and I’m a big fan of bridges.”

“As you can see, the bridge takes a lot of space,” he added, laughing.

“I think symbolically, a bridge is very important as it connects two realms, two planes,” Alvarez continued. “I thought that it was very inviting.”

“Come on in, get to the other side,” the mural seems to say.

“The meadowlark and dragonfly are about that accelerated feeling you get once you have a good run or a good walk,” Alvarez added.

“And there are also butterflies because both of us are traveling all the time, doing our work, migrating.”

All told, Alvarez said he’d spent about 16 hours on the design before ever putting paint to any surface.

THE DUO also went in-depth about how they

love for art, but making the pursuit of art into a life’s work that can actually keep a roof over one’s head.

“In Kansas City, we actually go around schools and teach kids about the business of art,” they explained, “… definitely entrepreneurship is one of the biggest things that we try to convey.”

“You need to love what you do, but you also need to pay your bills.”

ORIGINALLY, Tapia and Alvarez had hoped to finish their work by Friday, but the rain has hindered matters a bit.

Hence, “we might have to come back again to finish it up,” they said.

Regardless, they wanted to convey to the community how grateful they are for the opportunity to make art in Allen County.

“We are so, so happy to be here … We thank you for opening your doors to us,” they said.

Alvarez and Tapia’s tool kit contains many different paints under differing pressures. use spray paint as a professional art medium.

One trick, it seems, is using paint that’s under differing pressures.

“Usually we fill things in with the high pressure ones, and then add details with the low pressure ones,” explained Tapia.

He likewise showed the audience different

types of caps that produce different amounts of flow, a capacity which leads them to be an artistic “gold mine,” in his estimation.

As for why they’re so important, “in a two-dimension world, as you see in [‘Serene Flight’], you use tones, hues … to create depth,” Alvarez chimed in.

TAPIA and Alvarez see education as a key part of their mission.

As Tapia noted, “that’s the first thing, exposing kids to the art world, ... exposing kids to all these mediums and teaching them what they can actually do with them.”

And it’s not just about

Expert: Chauvin never took knee off Floyd’s neck area MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd’s neck area — and was bearing down with most of his weight — the entire 9 1/2 minutes the Black man lay facedown with his hands cuffed behind his back, a use-of-force expert testified at Chauvin’s murder trial.

Jody Stiger, a Los Angeles Police Department sergeant serving as a prosecution witness, said Wednesday that based on his review of video evidence, Chauvin applied pressure to Floyd’s neck or neck area from the time officers began pinning Floyd to the ground until paramedics began to move him to a stretcher.

“That particular force did not change during the entire restraint period?” prosecutor Steve Schleicher asked as he showed the jury a composite of five still images.

“Correct,” replied Stiger, who on Tuesday testified that the force used against Floyd was excessive.

Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson countered by pointing out what he said were moments in the video footage when Chauvin’s knee did not appear to be on Floyd’s neck but on his shoulder blade area or the base of his neck. Stiger did not give much ground, say-

ing the officer’s knee in some of the contested images still seemed to be near Floyd’s neck, though he agreed his weight might have shifted at times.

In other testimony, the lead Minnesota state investigator on the case, James Reyerson, initially agreed with Nelson that Floyd seemed to say in a police body-camera video of his arrest, “I ate too many drugs.”

But when a prosecutor played a longer clip of the video, Reyerson said he believed what Floyd really said was “I ain’t do no drugs.”

Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death May 25.

Floyd, 46, was arrested outside a neighborhood market after being accused of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. A panicky-sounding Floyd struggled and claimed to be claustrophobic as police tried to put him in a squad car, and they pinned him to the pavement.

Bystander video of Floyd crying that he couldn’t breathe as onlookers yelled at Chauvin to get off him sparked protests and scattered violence around the U.S. Nelson has argued that the now-fired white officer “did exactly what he had been trained to

do over his 19-year career,” and he has suggested that Floyd’s drug use and his underlying health conditions are what killed him, not Chauvin’s knee, as prosecutors contend.

Fentanyl and methamphetamine were found in Floyd’s system.

Breahna Giles, a state forensic scientist, testified Wednesday that pills found in the SUV Floyd was driving contained methamphetamine and fentanyl. Another witness, forensic chemist Susan Meith, testified that remnants of a pill found in the back of the police squad car also contained methamphetamine and fentanyl. Earlier testimony revealed that that pill contained DNA from Floyd’s saliva.

Earlier, Nelson asked Stiger about uses of force that are commonly referred to by police as “lawful but awful.” Stiger conceded that “you can have a situation where by law it looks horrible to the common eye, but based on the state law, it’s lawful.”

Nelson has argued, too, that the officers on the scene were distracted by what they perceived as an increasingly hostile crowd of onlookers.

But Stiger told the jury, “I did not perceive them as being a

threat,” even though some bystanders were name-calling and using foul language. He added that most of the yelling was due to “their concern for Mr. Floyd.”

Nelson’s voice rose as he asked Stiger how a reasonable officer would be trained to view a crowd while dealing with a suspect, “and somebody else is now pacing around and watching you and watching you and calling you names and saying (expletives).” Nelson said such a situation

“could be viewed by a reasonable officer as a threat.”

“As a potential threat, correct,” Stiger said.

Chauvin’s lawyer noted that dispatchers had described Floyd as between 6 feet and 6-foot-6 and possibly under the influence. Stiger agreed it was reasonable for Chauvin to come to the scene with a heightened sense of awareness.

Stiger further agreed with Nelson that an officer’s actions must be judged from the point of view of a reasonable of-

ficer on the scene, not in hindsight. Among other things, Nelson said that given typical emergency medical response times, it was reasonable for Chauvin to believe that paramedics would be there soon.

In other testimony, Stiger said that as Floyd lay pinned to the ground, Chauvin squeezed Floyd’s fingers and pulled one of his wrists toward his handcuffs, a technique that uses pain to get someone to comply, but Chauvin did not appear to let up.

Arizona parts ways with Miller

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press

Arizona had stuck by men’s basketball coach Sean Miller through an NCAA infractions investigation that stretched nearly four years.

W h e n the school didn’t extend his contract beyond next season, it became clear Sean Miller a decision would need to be made.

The wait came to an end Wednesday when the school announced Miller was leaving after 12 seasons and associate head coach Jack Murphy will serve as interim head coach.

“We’re evaluating the overall position of the program, and that includes on-court and offcourt elements,” Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke said. “When you See MILLER | Page B6

HIGHLAND — It had been nearly 18 months since Allen Community College’s women had been on the soccer field.

The Red Devils made sure the wait was worth it Wednesday.

Allen scored early and often, racking up eight goals in 45 minutes to thump host Highland Community College, 8-0.

Danielle Jeffcoat’s unassisted goal 2:32 into the game put ACC on top.

Dorothy Usher followed at the 22-minute mark to make it 2-0.

Then followed a remarkable 10-minute stretch in which Allen added six more goals.

Usher scored on a feed from Yasmin Evans at 34:40, before Miria Chavarria’s scored twice less than 2 minutes apart.

She was unassisted with both.

Usher tacked on her girl goal at 41:34. Maci Beachler was assisted by Evans at the 43:14 mark, making it 7-0. Usher’s fourth goal of the day capped the scoring.

Allen had eight corner kicks, while Highland had none.

Phoenix Michaelis, Allen scorekeeper, successfully saved both of Highland’s shots on goal.

The Red Devils are back in action Saturday for their home-opener against Central Community College at 2 p.m.

Junis shines, but Royals fall short at Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) — When José Ramírez’s shot to deep right field narrowly missed being a home run, Shane Bieber knew what was coming next.

A legit one.

“Foul ball, homer, foul ball, homer,” the Cy Young Award winner said. “You know he’s on it and he’s going straighten it out. Sure enough, he did.”

Ramírez’s second two-run homer of the game snapped a tie in the eighth inning and sent the Cleveland Indians to a 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday after Bieber struck out 12 for the second straight game.

Ramírez’s one-out shot in the eighth off Greg Holland (01) gave the Indians their first home win in 2021 after they were shut out 3-0 on Monday.

In the sixth, Ramírez, who was fooled by a pitch and struck out in his first at-bat, hit a long foul to right before connecting for a two-run homer to bring in Cleveland’s first runs at Progressive Field this season.

“This just in,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“Josey’s pretty good.”

It was the kind of performance the Indians have come to expect from their All-Star third baseman, who finished second in the MVP voting last season and third in 2017 and

2018.

“He’s a gamer, man,” Bieber said. “It never turns off.

Whether it’s going good or it’s not, he’s the same guy and he brings that same energy and that’s why we rely on him so much. Not just physically, but as a leader in the clubhouse, the way he goes about everything.

“Really can’t say enough about the guy. He comes up in big moments like he did today and that’s why he’s our guy.”

Emmanuel Clase (1-0) pitched the eighth — all nine of his fastballs were over 100 mph — and Nick Wittgren worked the ninth for his first save since Sept. 4, 2019.

Salvador Pérez homered for the Royals.

Bieber had his second strong start of the season, fanning 12 and allowing just two runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings. But the right-hander remains winless as the Indians continue to struggle at the plate through the season’s first week.

The right-hander extended his streak of striking out at least eight to 14 games, tying Corey Kluber’s club record.

Hall of Famer Randy Johnson holds the major league mark with 17 in a row.

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Jimmy Akingbola OF ‘KATE & KOJI’ ON BRITBOX How was it working with Brenda Blethyn on “Kate & Koji”?

Brenda’s like my best mate now. We had never met before. I’d been a big fan of her work over the years. But we had one lunch maybe three weeks before we started shooting and we just connected. It was so natural. She’s an amazing pro. She’s so generous and she’s so naturally funny. A lot of people see like “Vera” and stuff ... she’s done in America but she’s so playful, it’s ridiculous. And she’s so good that everybody has to be on their A-game.

But what I love about her is that ... she brings that theater company vibe to the whole show. So we laughed a lot, we worked hard, we had fun but it was that thing that we’re all in it together.

You also worked with Jason Sudeikis on “Ted Lasso” How was it keeping up with him?

Jason’s comic timing is impeccable. He’s so free and natural, it’s unbelievable. There are times where I realize that I can learn the lines but he trusts you to sort of – I think it’s like music – vibe with him, ad-lib with him. So you honor the script but he’s very open to a bit of improvisation. But if you’re going to improvise with Jason Sudeikis, you need to know your character inside out because he’s just so in it.

There are times where you’re like, “Am I talking to Jason or am I talking to Ted?” So you obviously have to be very attuned to your acting partner in that situation, correct?

Yeah, you do. ... I always remember working with Dustin Hoffman ... and we’re just going off script just saying what we want to say, and Dustin’s like, “Go on, Jimmy. Do it more, do it more!” And so with Jason, when actors give each other the eye like, “Yeah, let’s play,” it’s the best thing ever. So with Jason, as long as you’re honoring your character, you can just go anywhere. ... And to do it with someone as skillful and as funny as Jason, it’s a great way to earn a living (laughs).

way. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Player’s first Masters win, the first by an international player, and the 35th anniversary of Nicklaus’ sixth and final victory.

Elder did not tee off, though just as was the case in 1975, his presence simply was the much bigger story. He became the 10th past player to

Miller: Arizona under investigation third Wildcats coach to reach 300 wins with the program and went 302109 in 12 seasons. Arizona reached the Elite Eight three times, won five Pac-12 regular-season titles and three Pac12 Tournament titles under Miller.

But Arizona failed to reach the Final Four under Miller and had not won an NCAA Tournament game since reaching the Sweet 16 in 2017.

The school said it will honor the final year of Miller’s contract.

“After conferring with Dave Heeke since the season’s end, it has become clear that our men’s basketball program – and our University – needs to write a new chapter in our history, and that begins with a change of leadership,” university President Robert C. Robbins said in a statement. “Arizona Basketball means so much to so many

and, as stewards of the program, we must always act in the best interests of the university.

I believe our future is bright, and I look forward to welcoming a new head coach to the Wildcat family.”

Miller routinely pulled in some of the nation’s top recruiting classes after being lured from Xavier in 2009, but his recruiting methods came under scrutiny when assistant coach Emanuel Richardson was among 10 people arrested as part of a federal corruption investigation into college basketball.

Richardson was fired by the university and later pleaded guilty to accepting $20,000 in bribes from aspiring business manager Christian Dawkins. He was sentenced to three months in prison in 2019.

Miller sat out a game

in 2018 after ESPN reported that he was heard on an FBI wiretap discussing a $100,000 payment to future No. 1 overall NBA pick Deandre Ayton. Miller vehemently denied the report and Robbins announced a few days later that Miller would remain the Wildcats’ coach.

The NCAA Notice of Allegations sent in October had nine counts of misconduct, including a lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by the university, and lack of head coach control by Miller.

“It was obviously a difficult and very important decision,” Heeke said. “I wanted to take the time to consult, have the appropriate conversations to understand the direction and then ultimately that’s why we landed where we are today.”

hits Monday, and they didn’t get a runner to second through the first five innings against Kansas City starter Jakob Junis, who was only slated to pitch a few innings in what was supposed to be a bullpen game.

“I thought I was going two innings,” said Junis, who gave up one hit in five innings. “I didn’t think in a million years I’d go five innings.”

It was 73 degrees and sunny when Bieber threw his first pitch, a 41-degree jump from opening day last week in Detroit, where he pitched in swirling snow over the first few innings.

Pérez ripped Bieber’s first pitch of the fourth into the trees beyond the center-field wall to put the Royals ahead 1-0.

SHOT IN THE PARK

With an early-season off day, half of Cleveland’s roster received COVID-19 vaccines on Tuesday. Francona said the Cleveland Clinic administered the shots at Progressive Field.

Francona under-

stands there may be players who don’t want to get vaccinated — for a variety of reasons.

“That’s everybody’s personal choice,” he said. “You can’t make somebody do that. That wouldn’t be right. I hope we get to a certain amount though, where we are able as a team to relax some of the restrictions. That would be helpful.”

ROYAL SALUTE

Kansas City’s Carlos Santana received a warm ovation before his first at-bat in Monday’s opener as Cleveland fans thanked the popular first baseman for 10 seasons with the club.

He appreciated the gesture.

“Respect,” Santana said when asked about the cheers. “Respect the fans, respect the team.

Respect the city. Respect the organization that gave me the opportunity for 10 years.”

step back and evaluate where the program is, we have incredibly high standards to have success on and off the court. We evaluated it and we decided at this time it’s the appropriate time to make a change so we can restore and rebuild the overall status of this world-class basketball program.”

Miller and the Wildcats have been in the NCAA’s crosshairs since being ensnared in a 2017 FBI investigation into shady recruiting practices.

The NCAA issued a Notice of Allegations last year and the case is currently going through the Independent Accountability Resolution Process. Arizona issued a self-imposed postseason ban this year and finished 17-9, 11-9 in the Pac-12.

Miller became the

served,” Player said.

The Masters sought to fix one of those award omissions this year, bringing Elder back for the honorary start. Past Masters champions Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson, both in their green jackets, made sure that they were there for the ceremony, standing on the back of the tee box. So was Cameron Champ, one of four players of Black heritage on the PGA Tour.

“It’s a great honor, and I cherish it very much, and I will always cherish it,” Elder said.

Added Nicklaus: “It was long overdue.”

Elder knew Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball’s color barrier.

He was close with Hank Aaron, who endured racist threats throughout his career, particularly as he approached what was Babe Ruth’s home run record. Aaron broke that record April 8, 1974; 12 days later, Elder won what was then called the Monsanto Open to qualify for the following year’s Masters.

Elder sat in Aaron’s office with the Home Run King a few months ago, shortly before Aaron’s death, sharing memories.

“We talked about several things ... our sports, our particular sport, and the involvement that we felt that we could help other young Blacks that was coming up behind us,” Elder said. “And I certainly hope that the things that I have done have inspired a lot of young Black players and they will continue on with it.”

rica, Player’s homeland, in 1969.

“It’s quite sad to think that in those days, with the segregation policy that South Africa had, that I had to go to my President and get permission for Lee Elder to come and play in our PGA,” Player said. “Quite sad.”

They made it happen, and Elder’s story kept evolving from there. He became the first Black man to play for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup in 1979, and doors slowly — very slowly — kept opening within the game. Augusta National made Ron Townsend its first Black member in 1990, seven years before a skinny kid named Tiger Woods won the first of his five Masters titles.

Elder -- who grew up in Dallas and got into the game as a caddie, not a player, since that essentially was the only avenue Black people had into the game at that time -- blazed the trail.

He was back at Augusta National for Woods’ first win in 1997. The first Black man to play the Masters was simply not going to miss seeing the first Black man winning the tournament.

“It always amazed me that presidents of the United States would be giving these different awards to athletes for their athletic prowess, and here was a man that changed the lives and changed and put a spoke in the wheel of segregation in South Africa and was never given the awards that he actually duly de-

the Masters this morning, the first time he had been part of the ceremony.

“For me and my family, I think it was one of the most emotional experiences that I have ever witnessed or been involved in,” Elder said.

Player and Nicklaus each took a swing, as is tradition, knocking drives onto the first fair-

be part of the honorary starter ceremony, and fittingly, the first Black man to join that list.

“I think that having Lee there was the right thing to do, a nice thing to do,” Nicklaus said.

Augusta National — mindful of the ongoing national conversation about racial injustice — announced last year that it would honor Elder with two scholarships in his name at Paine College, a historically Black institution.

The scholarships will go to one men’s player and one women’s player. Augusta National’s move led to the creation of a women’s golf team at the school, with the club footing the bill for those startup costs.

Player has long been familiar with Elder’s story and, at times, his struggles. He invited Elder to play in South Af-

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The applause started when Lee Elder’s golf cart began moving toward the first tee. It only got louder when he arrived and slowly made his way to his seat.

And moments later, Masters Chairman Fred Ridley said words 46 years in the making.

“Lee, it is my privilege to say, you have the honors,” Ridley said.

That prompted the first roar of the 2021 Masters Tournament.

Elder — the first Black man to play the Masters — rose from his chair, hoisted his driver skyward for a moment, then nodded, smiled and waved in appreciation of the hundreds of people who crowded around the first tee to see history happen.

He joined Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus as an honorary starter for
