STORIES OF HOPE

‘I knew I had to get better’

Project developers to present revised parking plans to city

IT TOOK A BIT OF TIME FOR DOUG HOLIDAY to fully grasp the gravity of his diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In fact, he had to be convinced not to help with a catering job for his business, Bigg’s BBQ.

Bigg’s BBQ owner beats non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Stories of Hope

Special to the Journal-World

It was Doug Holiday’s grandparents who really lived large, as in Large, their last name. Jim and Virginia owned The Wheel near the Kansas University campus in Lawrence in 1950, so it was natural for Holiday to name his restaurants in a way that would honor them. Of course, Large BBQ just doesn’t have the same ring as the name Holiday finally chose.

It’s Bigg’s, of course: Bigg’s BBQ on Iowa and Massachusetts streets and Burgers by Bigg’s on Sixth Street.

Holiday began his business career in Lawrence in 2000, opening the Hereford House. In 2004, he opened his first restaurant as owner.

In 2013, when Holiday noticed a bump on the back of his head, he thought at first he’d just

hit his head while unloading for a catering event.

Head and neck surgeon Dr. Robert Dinsdale removed the lump, and he told Holiday it was most likely a lipoma, a mass of harmless fatty tissue. However, just to be sure, Dinsdale sent a sample to the lab. The results of the biopsy were an unwelcome surprise: nonHodgkin lymphoma.

This profile provided by the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association is one in a series of 12 about area cancer heroes. These survivors’ stories and photographs hang in the hallway leading to the LMH Oncology Center, offering hope to patients being cared for at LMH Oncology and their families.

Only 218 vehicles could fit in an existing parking deck at HERE @ Kansas if it were to be a citycompliant self-park garage. That’s nearly 300 spaces fewer than what developers are proposing could fit with a valet system.

The new information provided by developers will be taken to the Lawrence City Commission on Tuesday, a week after commissioners asked that the numbers be provided for comparison.

Mayor Mike Amyx suggested last week that the commission CITY should maybe use the COMMISSION number of city-compliant spaces, rather than the number of smaller spaces developers are proposing, for determining what portion of the apartment structure could be occupied this fall.

The large structure near Kansas University won’t be completely filled in either scenario until more parking is secured. Developers had to rethink their parking scheme in October, after the company building the development’s planned automatic parking garage filed for bankruptcy.

Douglas County court missing open records request deadlines

After a Leawood family was thrust into a lengthy and expensive legal battle with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Rep. John Rubin, R-Shawnee,

took notice.

In the summer of 2013, police searched the home of Robert and Adlynn Harte in a SWAT-style raid after wet tea leaves found in their trash falsely tested positive for marijuana. The search turned up no marijuana and offered no answers for the

employees. Nothing to do with drugs at all.”

“The Johnson County sheriff’s suspicions were totally unwarranted,” Rubin added. “But the problem that caught my attention was the Hartes had to spend $10,000 of their own money to hire an attorney and wait

with the city manager, finds that the applicant’s proposal for a full-service valet parking, with the reduction in standards from a self-park system, will permit this project to move forward without harming the neighborhood or tenants of the project,” reads a March 31 memo from city staff.

Staff said The Oread hotel parking garage is the most similar parking scheme in Lawrence to what HERE @ Kansas is proposing. The Oread has valet parking with 8-by-18foot spaces. The Oread received a variance from the city to reduce its number of required parking spaces from 320 to 167.

Staff is saying the approval should come with a list of conditions, which, in part, requires the garage to be staffed all day, every day by valets; developers provide a monthly report about the parking for one year; and developers deal with a complaint about construction affecting a neighboring property.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital oncologists encouraged the Holidays to get a second opinion on the course of treatment to pursue, and Holiday traveled to Omaha to be examined by a renowned oncologist there. The physician told Holiday it was up to him to choose where to be treated. The treatment he recommended was available at LMH. And just like that, Holiday’s wife, Shawn, remembers, “The wheels were put in motion.” Holiday really had no clue what he was in for, he says now. He asked if he could proceed with a catering event he had booked in the next few days, one that would feed 600 people.

“I don’t think you understand,” LMH oncologist Dr. Ronald Stephens told him. “We want to start treatment as soon as possible.”

That was June 2013. Holiday replaced the catering job on his calendar with his first chemotherapy treatment. It was an intense routine. He checked in on a Monday for each of the six 96-hour treatments.

For each session, the couple’s three sons, Seth, Jacob and Ben, would miss a half day of school to help decorate their dad’s room on the third floor of the hospital, covering every inch of wall space with decorations.

One week the chemo agreed March 22 that at least some of the development’s 13,500 square feet of commercial space should be filled by the time the apartments open. Commissioners also said at the time that all 108 of the on-street parking spaces should be dedicated to the commercial space.

It had been decided by developers that all of the commercial space would be for restaurants. Since then, developers changed the plans to stipulate that some of the space be for retail businesses. The change reduced the required number of parking spaces for the commercial space from 106 to 88.

Developers changed the restaurant and retail mix, the memo states, to secure more on-street parking available for tenants “in order to gain more residential units.”

The numbers Meeting standards for a self-park garage — which includes 24-foot aisles, 8.5-by-18-foot spaces, and no cars stacked one in front of the other — would allow for 218 spaces. Another design for a self-park system was submitted that would include 22-feet aisles.

From left are Jacob, Seth, Ben and Doug. room was decked out for a luau. Another, the room had a racing theme. Snack stations were set up for visitors. A smoothie machine stood at the ready for Holiday. One week, Holiday’s dog — disguised as a service animal — made a cameo appearance. Some nights during treatment, Holiday’s wife and the boys would come to the hospital with china, stemware, a tablecloth and a home-cooked meal.

“My hair fell out on my birthday, Aug. 8,” Holiday recalls. A picture taken that day hangs in the entryway of Bigg’s on Iowa and shows a grinning Holiday with his sons, all shaved as bald as their father.

The treatment was grueling, Holiday says. “But I knew I just had to deal with it. I knew I had to get better and there was no point in worrying about what I couldn’t control.”

Holiday lost his father in 1999 to stomach cancer.

He says he appreciates the experimental treatments

in which his dad participated and the treatment advances that have come because he and others were willing to take part in clinical trials.

The first person Holiday called, other than his family, with news of his diagnosis was John Ross. Holiday had gotten to know Ross, who owns Laser Logic, during his Hereford House days. Ross says, “Doug was supportive when I went through my little walk in the park — tongue cancer — in 2008. I told him, ‘If I can beat it, you can beat it.’

“Doug called me a survivor and I told him, ‘No, I’m not a survivor. That implies I am a victim. I am an alumnus,’” Ross continues. “The idea is that this road is long and arduous. But if you look at your goal as becoming an alumnus, it helps your frame of mind.”

Today, Holiday is a proud alumnus of The Oncology Center at LMH, where he finished treatment in November 2013.

is responsible for enforcement of the metered parking, and it collects the fines from parking violations.

Vice Mayor Leslie Soden criticized the agreement last week, saying it was a “terrible decision” and asking that City Manager Tom Markus try to negotiate the revenue back.

Developers will come back Tuesday with a proposal to annually donate $100,000 of revenue from the metered spaces to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

It’s been estimated that the metered spaces would generate $279,000 for developers each year.

According to the March 31 memo, developers have said they need to keep a portion of the revenue to pay for building and maintaining the onstreet spaces.

There were questions March 22 about whether the city’s parking enforcement staff had the capability to routinely monitor there HERE spaces. Teri Pierce, the city’s parking control manager, has said it will take one officer an hour to do one round of enforcement at HERE, and

parking enforcement can do two rounds each day “with negligible impact to the downtown area.”

New agreement Besides deciding on a parking scheme, commissioners will be asked Tuesday to consider a new agreement with HERE developers.

Among other things, the agreement calls on developers to secure all of the parking necessary for HERE before they can receive any tax rebates. HERE’s Neighborhood Revitalization Act with the city gives developers an 85 percent, 10-year tax abatement.

Jim Letchinger, president of JDL Development — the firm behind HERE — has said he’s working on a solution to create the approximately 100 spaces that would still be missing with the 510-space parking garage. Details of that solution have not been shared.

City Commissioners will convene at 5:45 p.m.

If you meet Jameel Syed, be prepared to have your photo taken with him.

It’s a simple action he initiates to build connections. Syed prefers action to talk, although he’s skilled at the latter as he demonstrated with his message Sunday morning at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lawrence.

It was a photograph taken in December that led to Syed’s invitation to the church. That selfie shows a stern Syed looking straight ahead with three men in the background. The men, sitting around a table in an Auburn Hills, Mich., coffee shop, had just blurted out hateful

comments about Muslims they wanted Syed to overhear.

“I’ve traveled all 50 states, and the first time I heard Islamophobia was in my hometown,” Syed said. “At first, I wanted to go challenge them, but what good would that have done but put me on their level.”

Instead of confrontation, Syed chose an action that demonstrated his values. He told the coffee shop’s manager about the incident, and then had to dissuade his friend from tossing the three men off the premises. Instead, Syed asked the manager to deliver a gift card to the men for three free cups of coffee with the message the gift was from “a proud American Muslim.”

Kindergarten Roundup to start at schools this week Twitter: @RochelleVerde

As the school year begins to wind down, the Lawrence district’s soonto-be students will get a chance to make a visit.

The district’s “Kindergarten Roundup” schedule is out, and sessions begin this week.

Roundups will be held

The manager followed through, adding three pastries to the gift. He later told Syed the men were embarrassed and asked about how to contact Syed to apologize.

“I put the photo on Facebook,” he said of the coffee shop selfie. “It went viral. It was an amazing example of how people can use social media to make something positive out of a negative.”

Records CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In all, the Hartes’ legal fees were approximately $25,000.

A probable-cause affidavit is the legal justification generally required before law enforcement can arrest someone or conduct searches.

Rubin called the Hartes’ situation “egregious,” but also said the incident helped precipitate a move toward increasing the public’s access to probable-cause affidavits in Kansas.

“I researched the entire issue and found that Kansas was an outlier, the only one of 50 states at that time that automatically, completely and totally sealed all probable-cause affidavits supporting search and arrest warrants,” he said. “The only state in the country that did that.”

Eventually Rubin sponsored a bill — which became law, effective on July 1, 2014 — stipulating that any member of the public may request the release of probable-cause affidavits.

After a request is submitted, the courts have 10 business days to either release the documents or inform the submitting party that the request is denied.

Within that 10-day period, courts are also able to redact certain information within the documents.

“There are certain circumstances, no question, where law enforcement does have to have an opportunity to keep records confidential,” Rubin said.

“If there’s an ongoing criminal investigation, if there were co-conspirators or co-actors in a particular

at the district’s 14 elementary schools throughout April and May. The first roundup will be at Langston Hughes Elementary School on April 7 and 8.

The full roundup schedule and the school boundary map are available on the district’s website at USD497.org.

In addition to enrolling, roundup allows families

to introduce their children to school by visiting classrooms and meeting teachers.

Children must be age 5 on or before Aug. 31 to be eligible to enroll in kindergarten for next school year. All new kindergarten families will begin enrollment online via the district’s website and complete the process

by providing the required paperwork to their school office.

The required paperwork includes the following: proof of residency, a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate, the child’s immunization record and a health assessment conducted by a physician or health care provider within one calendar

year prior to school entry.

Parents can call their neighborhood school for the specific times of Kindergarten Roundup and further instructions.

Phone numbers for each school are listed on the roundup schedule.

As the Wolfe Teaching Award winner, Patterson receives a $3,000 cash award and LHS receives a $1,000 award. Patterson said he was honored just by the nomination, and was surprised and excited when he found out that he had been selected

as the winner.

“It was quite gratifying to be selected, especially since that meant that Emily’s nomination letter must have been compelling to the committee,” he said via email.

Patterson said he and LHS Principal Matthew

Brungardt have some ideas of how the English department will use the $1,000, but haven’t yet decided.

As part of the honor, Patterson has been invited to a celebration ceremony during Kansas University commencement in May. He will be recognized

McNellis said he plans on hiring several cigar experts to staff the business. Plans call for people to be able to purchase cigars there and also to be able to smoke them on the premises with other aficionados.

You may be confused again, since Lawrence does have an indoor smoking ban. But the ban does allow for smoking to take place at businesses that are designated as tobacco shops. Tobacco shops, though, have to meet some pretty strict definitions and have

limitations on what they can sell. For example, the cigar lounge won’t be able to sell you a nice glass of wine or bourbon to go along with that cigar.

McNellis said patrons also won’t be able to bring their own bottle of wine or alcoholic beverage to consume on-site. He said the site will offer coffee and soft drinks, comfortable furniture and other amenities for cigar fans.

“It will be a very nice environment to enjoy a cigar,” McNellis said.

“Unfortunately, it is still several months away.”

Plans call for the

Bankruptcies

One of those who saw the photo and Syed’s short narrative of the event was Trinity Lutheran Church office secretary Elizabeth Mechem.

“I thought we really needed to have him talk at our church,” she said.

The invitation worked out because Syed already planned a visit to Lawrence to lead a Kansas University Muslim Student Association workshop Saturday at the KU Student Union on building interfaith bridges.

At both weekend events, Syed shared his methodology of how those bridges

can be built.

The method lists the do’s and don’ts of reaching out to new acquaintance of a different religion, Syed said.

The don’ts are don’t talk religion, don’t engage in debate, don’t hate anybody in your heart and don’t act against your values. The do’s are to be yourself, find a common denominator, open channels of communication, achieve your experience, share your success on social media and show your values.

As a final step, Syed calls on people to act.

“Go out and do

something,” he said. “Your response should be 80 percent action and 20 percent talk and writing about it.”

Syed is a lecturer, a columnist on two influential Muslim websites and owner of a marketing firm. The action that gained Syed national attention was a 35-day journey last year to give the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, at a mosque in all 50 states, making him the first person in history to do so. While in Lawrence this weekend, Syed added Allen Fieldhouse and the bell tower of Trinity Lutheran Church to the

growing list of iconic or unconventional sites he has given the adhan.

When people ask why he made the trip that earned him the title “the 50 Mosque Man,” Syed jokes it was a “weird” response to his mid-life crisis of turning 40. But the serious intent was a demonstration of how much Islam is a part of the American experience, a reality some loud and influential “blowhards” deny.

“You can’t get on your own blow horn and fight fire with fire,” Syed said. “If you let it, it can tear you up

and you become just like them. It’s better to accept that your response is what you have control over. You don’t talk a lot about your values, but show them through etiquette, manners and behavior.”

Those values are common to both Christians and Muslims, Syed said.

“Christians and Muslims are called to serve God,” he said. “There are a lot of differences among people. Our job is to find the commonalities.”

crime and some of them are still on the loose, the prosecutors need to be able to protect that information until all they make all arrests in the case.”

Although that law has been on the books for nearly two years, Rubin said some areas — Douglas County among them — are having problems following the rules.

For example, since December the Journal-World has filed at least 30 requests for probable-cause affidavits. Of those 30 requests, eight — more than 25 percent — were released beyond the 10-day waiting period written in the law.

One document was not released until nearly a month and a half after the request was submitted.

The documents requested by the JournalWorld include evidence supporting the arrests of those accused of sex crimes, murder, battery, drug offenses and more.

There are two things districts across Kansas are doing to skirt the laws, Rubin said. They are either delaying beyond the allowed 10-day period, or they are requiring each individual to file a separate request, even if that request is for an affidavit that’s already been released to a different person who requested it.

“That was never the intent of the law,” Rubin said. “And we have a bill pending this year that I wrote to clear up that discrepancy, to make it clear that once an affidavit is released it’s part of the public record and it’s available to everybody.

Press, public, whoever.”

Max Kautsch, a Lawrence attorney who focuses on First Amendment rights and open government and

who has represented the Journal-World in matters, said Kansas courts taking longer than 10 days to release probable-cause affidavits are “in violation of the law.”

“But it’s less clear what there is to do about it,” he said.

One option, Kautsch said, is to file suit, which he called an “expensive proposition.”

In addition, court schedules are often very busy and time-limit violations for open records requests may be considered low priority, Kautsch said.

Not all areas in Kansas have problems following the law, Kautsch added. Sedgwick County District Court, which includes Wichita, is “doing a really good job” despite receiving what is likely a much higher volume of requests than smaller districts, he said.

If courts are intentionally skirting the law, Rubin said his response is “too bad.”

“The court would have zero tolerance if I did not comply with one of their orders issued to me,” he said.

However, Douglas County District Court

Chief Judge Robert Fairchild said the district is not intentionally missing request deadlines.

“I don’t think that’s happening here,” he said.

“Early on we had a couple judges that were still operating under the old rules and I talked to them and said, ‘You can’t do this.’”

The likely explanation, Fairchild said, is that the paperwork is falling victim to the busy schedules of those involved in the process.

Submitted requests must go before both prosecuting and defense attorneys, court administrators and respective district judges before they can be released, Fairchild said. And within that process those involved may forget about the request or it may be a lower priority than other items.

Douglas County District Court Records Department Supervisor Deana Sage said she couldn’t exactly pinpoint why some requests are released past deadline.

“I try to keep track and if they’re coming up close to the date I’ll send a note to the judge,” she said.

Because each request must go before so many different people before it’s released or denied, it’s difficult to keep track of where the breakdown in the process may be, Sage said.

However, if the requests end up taking longer than 10 days, Fairchild said it isn’t because he takes issue with the legislation.

“It’s the law,” he said.

“If that’s what they think is appropriate, we’re happy to do it.”

Kansas’ open records law may soon see another change. On March 16, an amended bill passed in the state Senate that, if passed, will allow judges to redact

or seal affidavits if they specifically feel the documents contain information qualifying as “a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

Open records advocates have expressed concerns that the new bill will essentially eliminate the public’s access to probable-cause affidavits.

A form of the bill has passed the House and the Senate and is currently in a conference committee.

The committee plans to take up the issue when the Legislature returns from its spring break in late April.

Another adult could help stop parents’ ‘jokes’ Dear Annie: I am a 12-year-old boy, and I hate my life. I am the youngest of five, but there is a huge age difference. My siblings are aged 29 to 35. My parents are in their mid-50s.

My parents didn’t plan me and I’m tired of being constantly told that I am the family “mistake.” It’s like a big joke to them.

People always think I am my parents’ grandson. My mom seems happy to tell them, “No, he’s our son and obviously he was a mistake.”

It makes me feel small and embarrassed.

I think I’m a good kid.

I get straight A’s and I always help around the house. I have told my parents that it hurts my feelings, but they laugh it off and say it’s just an expression and I am too sensitive. Most of my siblings are worse.

They like to bully and

make fun of me. My oldest sister blames me whenever Mom or Dad have a health issue, saying it’s hard on them to deal with a young child at their age.

The only sibling I have who likes me is my single 29-year-old brother. He always defends me and likes spending time with me. How can I get my family to stop being so mean to me? They don’t seem to hear anything I say.

— The Family Mistake

‘Powerpuff’ reboot won’t fool old fans The new incarnation of “The Powerpuff Girls” (5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., Cartoon Network) arrives scant weeks after the Peewee Herman reboot on Netflix.

Both original series appealed to children and adults, and enjoyed meteoric success.

When it debuted in 1998, “The Powerpuff Girls” married the minimal animation of 1960s cartoons with retro-punk music and over-the-top adrenalized action. It was a frantic boy’s deranged idea of i n s a n e violence featuring three little girls.

T h e characters embodied clearly defined archetypes: Blossom (responsible and reasonable), Bubbles (sweet and naive), and Buttercup (tomboy tough). It was as if creator Craig McCracken had digested the appeal of the mid-1990s Spice Girls craze and made it subversively cool.

“Heroes and Villains,” a 2000 soundtrack compilation inspired by the show, attracted performances by Devo, Shonen Knife, Apples in Stereo and others. At one point it simultaneously topped both the college and children’s album charts, a rare, if not unique, feat.

While “The Powerpuff Girls” was not a part of Adult Swim when it debuted in 2001, its crossover appeal to students and 20-somethings must have been an inspiration.

Much like Pee-wee, the Powerpuff phenomenon was too white-hot to endure. Despite being part of a billion-dollar merchandising franchise, “The Powerpuff Girls Movie” in 2002 was simply too dark, sad and weird for any audience.

The new iteration of the series arrives without McCracken’s involvement. On March 3, he summed up his association with a tweet: “I’m not working on the new PPG but because I made it up in the first place I will always be the creator of it.”

The heavy black lines that defined the original characters seem to be missing as well. It’s got a lighter feel, and the backgrounds appear more generic.

At first glance, this looks more like a cartoon based on the idea of “The Powerpuff Girls” than the real thing. Kids just old enough for Pokey Oaks Kindergarten may not be able to tell the difference, but the cartoon’s older fans will not be fooled.

Tonight’s other highlights

Knockouts continue on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TVPG).

A stripper’s brain proves revealing on “iZombie” (7 p.m., CW, r, TV-14).

Feeble memories on “The Magicians” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV14).

An opportunity falls in Jimmy’s lap on “Better Call Saul” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14).

Dear Family: No one likes to be constantly teased. But your parents were undoubtedly teased about the age gap of their children, and they responded by turning it into a joke. You believe it reflects poorly on you, when it’s really about them. Surely your parents know that lots of people in their 50s have kids your age and they do just fine.

Your parents and siblings have fallen into a pattern of treating you poorly. If your brother cannot get your parents to rethink their behavior, please talk to your school counselor, favorite teacher or coach, your grandparents, aunts, uncles or a sympathetic family friend.

You need an adult to advocate for you and talk to your parents on your behalf.

Dear Annie: I read

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, April 4: This year you could alternate between experiencing periods of deep reflection and periods of impulsiveness. Others around you, who are used to your high energy, won’t have a problem with your changeability. Be sure to curb a tendency to be sarcastic or hostile. If you are single, a potential suitor might have some difficulty with your ups and downs. If this is the case, know that this is not the right person for you. If you are attached, the two of you work well together.

Escape for a day getaway with your sweetie.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might be distracted by a friend’s demand. Tonight: Write down some notes rather than overthink.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A friend appeals to you emotionally and/or intellectually.

You will respond in kind. Tonight: Avoid a difficult loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might have your hands full handling an aggressive, defiant associate. Tonight: Say “yes” to a dreamy offer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Recognize your limits with a difficult associate. Enjoy the moment. Tonight: Catch up on a favorite TV series.

the letter from “Stymied Husband” who wants to go for counseling with his wife.

She thinks it means he wants a divorce.

Counselors have gotten a bad rap. As with any professional, you should interview them and get references. It saddens me that society has made counseling a shameful thing, when really, it is just there to help you. My husband and I have been married 30 years and have been to counseling off and on for 25 of them. We consider it a tuneup.

Hopefully “Stymied” can get his wife to see a counselor as a “life coach” rather than a “divorce coach.” — Thankful for Our Life Coach — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You understand the power of relating to others individually. Tonight: Don’t be alone.

Disappointing news Hopefully plans to expand the Eldridge Hotel will be back on the table soon.

I

t’s disappointing to learn that the owners of the Eldridge Hotel have at least temporarily scrapped plans to expand into a vacant lot just south of the hotel.

The planned expansion, which would have added 50 rooms to the hotel along with additional banquet and restaurant space, would have been a welcome improvement over the unsightly vacant gravel lot in the 700 block of Massachusetts Street.

The owners of the hotel, led by members of the local Fritzel family, didn’t provide any reason for their decision, which was a bit surprising considering that the plans had successfully completed the city planning process, including approval of about $400,000 in rebates for sales tax paid on construction materials for the project.

The owners originally has said they wanted to start construction at the end of last year, but delayed the start supposedly to accommodate their downtown neighbors who were concerned about the disruption of vehicle and pedestrian traffic during the holiday shopping season. Apparently some new problems have arisen to prompt the latest decision.

This is the second time the hotel has scrapped expansion plans for the vacant lot, but the Eldridge now owns the lot, which means the expansion probably could be restarted fairly easily — at least until city approvals for the project expire. The Fritzel family has a number of irons in the fire, including a revamp of the Alvamar golf course and country club property. Hopefully, the Eldridge project won’t take a back seat for too long.

The expansion of this local historical landmark would have been — and still would be — a welcome contribution to the downtown landscape.

Clinton unlikely to be prosecuted

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

It may not sound like it at first, but the FBI’s decision to move fast on its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email practices is good news for the Democratic frontrunner.

Federal prosecutors have begun setting up formal interviews with Clinton’s advisers. After those sessions, they’re expected to seek an interview with the candidate herself. Clinton has long said she will cooperate.

Signs are that FBI Director James Comey, who has personally overseen the inquiry, wants to get the probe done before the Democratic Convention in July. Comey understandably wants to avoid any appearance of sitting on information that could influence a presidential election.

But it’s also in Clinton’s interest to get the case over with as soon as possible, because, in the end, she’s unlikely to face prosecution.

The cloud of suspicion is worse than the likely outcome.

Let’s not mince words: Clinton screwed up. Instead of using the State Department’s email system, she decided to send business messages through a private, unsecured system set up by a former campaign aide.

That was contrary to State Department policies, some of them promulgated by Clinton herself.

Clinton said she decided to use a private server as a matter of “convenience.” To

“

But did she commit a crime? Washington lawyers who specialize in national security law say the answer is ‘no.’ While Clinton’s gambit was foolish and dangerous, it wasn’t an indictable offense.”

many of us, it looked more like a Clintonian urge to keep control over information. Either way, it wasn’t her decision to make. After months of public criticism, Clinton eventually acknowledged that she’d erred.

But did she commit a crime?

Washington lawyers who specialize in national security law say the answer is “no.” While Clinton’s gambit was foolish and dangerous, it wasn’t an indictable offense.

The laws governing the misuse of classified information require that the offender knew the material was classified and either delivered it to someone who wasn’t authorized to receive it or removed it from government custody “with the intent to retain” it.

So the first test is whether Clinton knew she was putting classified information into an unclassified system.

Clinton and her aides have insisted that she didn’t.

They say none of her emails included material that was marked as classified at the time.

Some of her emails were later reclassified, including 22 that have been designated “top secret” — but they weren’t classified when she sent or received them.

Second, did she “willfully communicate” classified information to anyone not authorized to receive it? She says she didn’t, and there’s no known evidence that she did. Most of her exchanges were with other officials who were cleared to look at secret material.

Third, did she remove classified information “with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location”?

“If all she was doing was exchanging emails with her staff, I don’t think they can prove that she had the intent to retain anything,” a former top government lawyer told me.

The FBI won’t make the decision whether to prosecute Clinton. That will be up to the Justice Department, after the FBI delivers its report. At that point, prosecutors will have to consider several recent cases that count as precedents.

In 2015, retired Army Gen. David Petraeus was prosecuted for giving top secret notebooks to his mistress, who was writing a book about him. (“Highly classified,” he told her — so he knew what he was doing.)

Petraeus pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count of mishandling classified information and was fined $100,000.

Here’s a better analogy: Beginning in 1998, former

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 27, 1916: years “A sixtieth wedago ding anniversary IN 1916 celebrated in Emporia Saturday which was of interest in Lawrence was that of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Whitley, old residents of Emporia. Colonel Whitley was known in Lawrence at one time.

He first saw Kansas in 1857…

He walked from Independence Landing to Lawrence, when he first came to the state. His first business venture was at Lawrence where, with two sugar barrels, some planks, some loaves of bread and a ham, he became a restaurant keeper.”

Letters Policy

Journal-World

CIA Director John M. Deutch was investigated for storing highly classified documents on a personal computer connected to the Internet. The Justice Department initially declined to prosecute. After a public outcry the case was reopened, and Deutch negotiated a misdemeanor plea, but he was pardoned by then-President Bill Clinton.

The Petraeus and Deutch cases both included material that was highly classified, and both defendants clearly knew it. If Clinton’s case doesn’t clear that bar, it would be difficult for the Obama Justice Department to explain why she merits prosecution.

This isn’t to excuse her conduct; it’s just a diagnosis of the way the law works.

In political terms, a bigger danger to Clinton may be the counterintelligence question: Did spies from China, Russia or some other country penetrate her server? If so, some voters might conclude that poor judgment should disqualify Clinton for the presidency.

Clinton may want that part of the investigation to take as long as possible.

But my bet is that, unless new facts emerge, the potentially criminal part of her case will end this summer with the Justice Department declining prosecution.

At that point, it will be up to the government to lay out the facts, and let the voters decide what they think.

The principal of Border Star, the Kansas City grade school I attended, delivered a pronouncement in advance of our seventh grade Christmas Tea Dance: “The only proper occasion for physical contact between the sexes before marriage is ballroom dancing.” His pronouncement reduced us boys to paroxysms of embarrassed laughter, though we didn’t really comprehend the innuendo. This was in the 1950s, before the invention of sex, which according to one authority took place in 1963, “between the end of the ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ ban and the Beatles’ first LP.” Prior to the dance we assembled in the school gym; boys lined up at one end, girls on the other. At the sound of a whistle, we boys stampeded across the floor to fill out our dance cards. Forming a wedge, we bore down on the two or three cutest girls in our class. It was a cruel kind of culling. Some girls were left with empty cards.

They stood forsaken like literal wallflowers as if ready to be shot. I remember little

Suddenly, ballroom dancing looked hopelessly oldfashioned and effete.”

about the dance itself except that, as far as physical contact was concerned, boys and girls held themselves at arm’s length with sweaty palms and agonizing silences. The Xmas dance was not a great deal of fun.

After seventh grade, we were condemned to attend dancing school in a musty old apartment building on the Country Club Plaza.

The teacher was a vivacious woman who tried to infuse us with enthusiasm for the foxtrot, the boxstep, the waltz and other chaste Victorian dances.

Then something happened. Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock,” struck, unleashing chaos. Suddenly, ballroom dancing looked hopelessly old-fashioned and effete. The old dance steps were rudely cast aside and with them quaint rites of courtship. No more bows and curtseys, no more corsages and billets-doux. The new dancing featured writhing, shaking, stomping and other frenzied variations mating rituals.

No more crooning about love and marriage. No more innocence or decorum. The new songs were blunt: “If you think I’m sexy and you want my body…”

Not long ago, Lawrence’s Free State High School felt compelled to institute a “no provocative dancing” policy, due to an outbreak of raunchy grinding, gyrating and dirty dancing at school dances. A video showed the school mascot performing

the forbidden moves accompanied by rapper Nellie’s “Shake Your Tail Feathers.”

I suspect it too provoked hilarity among the students and was seized as a primer in naughtiness, exciting the youthful instinct to do whatever is forbidden.

I have seen a dizzying succession of dances in my life, from the boxstep, the bunny hop, the hokey pokey and the turkey trot to the jerk, the twist, the frug, the dirty bop.

I myself have performed the Willy Waw, the Egg Beater, and the Cork Popper. What force drives us to abandon the old style and to embrace whatever is new?

How many have found true love or painful rejection leading or following some unknowable partner to the music of a moment?

My own dancing days are over. And looking back, I find that I was never that great a dancer. Still, I seem to remember once or twice having lost myself on a dark dance floor.

MASSIVE LEAK REVEALS MONEY RINGS OF GLOBAL LEADERS Extensive network shows where the wealthy hid assets Greg Toppo USA TODAY

A massive, anonymous leak of financial documents from a Panamanian law firm has revealed an extensive worldwide network of offshore shell companies — including ones with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin — that allow the wealthy to hide their assets from taxes and, in some cases, to launder billions in cash, a German newspaper alleges.

The documents, combed through in the past year by dozens of journalists worldwide, show links to 72 current or former heads of state, including dic-

“I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken,” said Gerard Ryle, director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism (ICIJ) based in Washington, D.C., which coordinated the reporting.

The cache is larger than the

one leaked in 2013 by former CIA employee Edward Snowden — who tweeted Sunday the “Biggest leak in the history of data journalism just went live, and it’s about corruption.”

The “Panama Papers” cover a period from the 1970s to the spring of 2016, according to Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the Munichbased newspaper that obtained the documents more than a year ago from an anonymous source

tied to law firm Mossack Fonseca.

The newspaper has shared the documents with more than 100 news organizations. McClatchy Newspapers, one of the group’s U.S. partners, noted the list of billionaires investigated included 29 in Forbes magazine’s list ofthe world’s 500 richest people.

Among revelations, the documents show that Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson and his wife bought an offshore company in 2007 that he didn’t declare when entering parliament in 2009. The company was used to invest millions of dollars of inherited money. Gunnlaugsson sold his 50% share to his wife for $1 eight months later, the documents allege. Gunnlaugsson, now facing calls to resign, said he has not broken any rules.

Mossack Fonseca denied accusations of illegal activity.

In Mithymna, Greece, and the island of Lesbos, concerns over the economy have grown as tourism numbers drop in the wake of the ongoing refugee crisis. But some businesses thrive in order to serve the migrants and the aid workers there to help them.

MYTILINI , GREECE As a main European gateway for migrants flooding in from Turkey, the Aegean island of Lesbos, long known for its olive oil and ouzo, has found a way to turn a potential crisis into a profitable cash flow.

After all, those refugees need food, housing, clothing and other necessities, which has been good for local business.

But now that Turkey and the European Union have struck a

deal to send most migrants back to Turkey starting Monday, shop owners fret they’ll soon lose the business they’ve counted on to make up for all the tourists who have shunned the island since the migrants showed up.

“Business is (already) down now as the Moria camp has turned into a detention camp,” and vendors can only enter on foot, complained food truck owner Stratis Kerimis, who sells the refugees falafel, sandwiches and soft drinks. “When you own a business you have to be patient and wait to see if things will turn around.”

“We had to transform the business into one serving the refugees and immigrants.”

Ksanthi Ksourgia

Last year, 2,000 to 6,000 people were crossing daily from Turkey to Lesbos on inflatable boats.

Now, new arrivals have fallen to just 300 a day.

Since the winter of 2015, this island, which is just a one-hour ferry ride from Turkey, has catered to migrants to make up for the loss of business from Greeks who can’t afford to visit because of the country’s financial crisis or foreign tourists who don’t want to come to a place they see as overrun with refugees.

Drone start-up goes on overseas humanitarian mission Zipline will drop supplies for remote Rwandan clinics Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

How’s this for a flight plan to get a drone delivery service aloft: Carry cargo that’s of life-saving importance, fly longrange fixed wing aircraft in uncongested skies and score a government as your first client.

That’s the atypical approach being taken by Zipline, a Bay Area SAN FRANCISCO

start-up that has raised $18 million in funding from the likes of Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and Google Ventures.

While companies such as Amazon and DHL test quadcopter drones for consumer goods deliveries in first world countries as lawmakers debate regulations governing such craft, Zipline founder Keller Rinaudo set his sights early on helping save African lives.

“Getting medicine to remote places is both a huge market and a global challenge,” says Rinaudo, a Harvard-trained scientist who before starting Zipline in 2011

“About half the cases the doctors we spoke with see are mothers hemorrhaging after childbirth and 30% are kids with malaria.

There’s nothing more precious

than blood and medicine.”

Starting in July, Zipline, which came out of stealth mode Monday, will begin shuttling blood and other vital medical supplies to remote clinics throughout the

central African nation of Rwanda.

Most intriguingly, Zip planes drop their parachute-carrying payloads into predetermined landing zones, eliminating the need to land at the delivery site.

The planes are launched via a high-powered catapult.

Sequoia Capital partner Alfred Lin invested in the previous incarnation of Zipline, Romotive, which focused on toy robotics before pivoting to drone delivery.

“There’s a broad ambition here with Zipline, one focused on using machines to better human lives,” Lin says. “They’re looking at applications that others in the space aren’t focused on.”

3RD PARTY BID MAY STILL BE IN CARDS And here’s how it could happen

“If Trump chose to go outside and spend his own money, he’d create chaos,” albeit with a better chance of helping to elect Clinton than himself.

Ed Rollins, Republican strategist

Susan Page @SusanPage USA TODAY

It’s not too late: If Donald Trump loses the Republican presidential nomination, he says he might run for the White House anyway. And if Trump wins the GOP nomination, anti-Trump contenders from the party establishment are considering doing the same.

While it’s an uphill climb and state deadlines loom, there are several ways a third candidate could mount a general-election bid consequential enough to demand attention. “ ‘Trump’ is easy to spell,” notes Democratic strategist Tad Devine, suggesting the billionaire businessman could try a write-in campaign for the nation’s highest office.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have promised to support the party’s nominee. But all three remaining Republican rivals have walked back commitments they signed last year to support the GOP’s choice. On Fox News Sunday, Trump refused to rule out an independent or third-party candidacy if he fails to win the GOP nomination. “I’m going to have to see how I was treated,” he told Chris Wallace. “It’s very simple.”

In an election season that already has upended the expected, there are the ingredients that have fueled third-party bids in the past.

They include a mercurial potential contender with money — Donald Trump, meet Ross Perot — and the sort of ideological divide that prompted moderate congressman John Anderson to run when the GOP shifted right in 1980 to nominate conservative Ronald Reagan.

The power of the parties has gotten weaker since then and the rules for getting on state ballots easier.

“Minor parties have been working and working and working all these years and it’s slowly paying off,” says Richard Winger, publisher of Ballot Access News, a newsletter that might see a surge in readership soon. “Nobody notices because it’s little incremental changes, but it’s adding up.”

In a little-noticed ruling last month, a U.S. District Court struck down the provision in Georgia that required independent presidential candidates to submit petitions with signatures equal to 1% of eligible registered voters. In Green Party of Georgia v. Kemp, Judge Richard Story ruled that the state’s ballot requirement, one of the toughest in the country, was too onerous. He set an interim standard of 7,500 signatures until the state Legislature acts.

“There are two candidates in this race who could be a third-party candidate, and that’s Trump and Bernie Sanders,” says Republican strategist Ed Rollins, who for a time ran Perot’s 1992 independent bid.

“If Trump chose to go outside and spend his own money, he’d create chaos,” albeit with a better chance of helping to elect Clinton than himself, Rollins says.

Neither Perot nor Anderson won the White House, but they participated in debates and affected the cross-currents of the campaign.

Some analysts say Ralph Nader’s campaign in 2000 as the Green Party nominee may have pulled enough votes from Democrat Al Gore in Florida to tip the closely divided state — and with it the presidency — to Republican George W. Bush, although Nader disputes that.

And if Trump is nominated?

“If Donald Trump gets nominatWASHINGTON

ed and continues to drive his negatives through the roof, conceivably a third-party candidate could become the de facto Republican nominee,” GOP pollster Whit Ayres says. Speculation has centered on establishment leaders who have been outspoken in criticizing Trump, including 2012 nominee Mitt Romney and former 2016 contender Jeb Bush.

Last week, The Texas Tribune reported there was no record of former governor Rick Perry voting in the state’s primary, although he had endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

That drew notice because it would preserve Perry’s eligibility to run as an independent this fall. While Perry last year described Trump’s candidacy as “a cancer on conservatism,” spokesman Jeff Miller said the former presidential hopeful wasn’t interested in an independent bid.

Voters increasingly are open to voting for someone other than the Democrat or the Republican. In the USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll taken in February, only a third of those surveyed said the two major parties did a good job of representing Americans’ political views.

A 54% majority said three or more parties were necessary.

Running for president this year as a third candidate isn’t easy. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Let’s count the ways.

Mount an independent 1 campaign.

That’s what Perot did in 1992.

The Texas billionaire said he was open to a draft movement in February, opened a phone bank in March and after an in-and-out campaign was on all 50 state ballots in November. There were times during the campaign when he led Republican George H.W. Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton in national polls, and he participated in the fall debates.

In the end, Perot carried 19% of the popular vote, the most for any third candidate since Teddy Roosevelt’s bid in 1912 as the Progressive “Bull Moose” party’s nominee.

Texas has the earliest deadline and some of the stiffest requirements for an independent presidential candidate to get on the ballot. By May 9 — just five weeks away — a candidate must submit petitions with 70,939 signatures.

Realistically, the number has to be much higher as a cushion for signatures that might be thrown out as ineligible. North Carolina’s deadline is next, on June 9. Three other states (Illinois, Indiana and New Mexico) have deadlines in late June.

But thirty-one states and the District of Columbia don’t have deadlines until August, and many require only a nominal number of signatures, such as 275 in Tennessee and 800 in New Jersey. In Colorado, a check for $1,000 gets a candidate on the ballot. The final deadlines (in Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi and Rhode Island) are on Sept. 9.

That said, 11 states have deadlines before the Republican convention opens in Cleveland on July 18, and other deadlines begin to follow in a crush.

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is not ruling out running as an independent if he does not win the Republican nomination. the Libertarian nomination. He won’t name names or even specify if the calls came on behalf of Republicans or Democrats, or both.

“There’s a lot of frustration that candidates feel like they weren’t able to get a hearing from the Republican or Democratic races, that there wasn’t enough oxygen in the room,” he says. He says his party could be open to nominating a newcomer.

The party convention is in Orlando over Memorial Day weekend, with none of the delegates bound

to a particular contender beforehand. The first nationally televised debate ever among Libertarian contenders was held last Friday on Fox Business News, featuring former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, The Libertarian Republic founder Austin Petersen and anti-virus software developer John McAfee.

Johnson, the Libertarian nominee in 2012, doubts some high-profile Republican could move in and win the nomination.

“They’re going to get their heads handed to them,” he predicted in an interview, saying the GOP’s conservative views on social issues would undermine their appeal among libertarians. That said, “they would bring a lot of welcome attention to the Libertarian Party” if they try.

Last month, a Monmouth University Poll included a three-way race among Clinton, Trump and Johnson. The Libertarian was supported by 11% even though three of four of those surveyed said they didn’t know enough about him to have an opinion.

Johnson’s name “seems to be more of a placeholder for voters who are not particularly thrilled with either major-party choice right now,” poll director Patrick Murray says. “There is an appetite there for a third-party candidate (but) it’s still too soon to tell whether that will be a realistic option.”

Cobble together different 3 third-party lines.

Then there are all those other third parties that already are on some state ballots, but not all.

“People who think it is too late for Donald Trump to run after he is rejected by the Republican National Convention ought to realize there are ballot-qualified parties that would probably nominate Trump,” Winger says.

He identifies 13 as prospects.

They range from the Alaskan Independence Party (Sarah Palin’s husband, Todd, was once a member) to the Independent American Party in Utah.

as a write-in.

4 Run

Forget ballot access: What about running as a write-in?

Five states — Hawaii, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma and South Dakota — ban all write-in votes, and South Carolina bans write-in votes for president. Election officials in Arkansas and New Mexico say they won’t tally write-ins, and Mississippi law says the state will count them only if one of the candidates on the ballot has died.

Still, that leaves 42 states and the District of Columbia that do allow write-ins and will tally them. Most require a write-in contender to submit a declaration of candidacy before the vote.

It’s a path that’s most realistic for someone with a fervent following and a famous name — and, ideally, one that is easy to spell. When Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in in 2010, she felt compelled to air a TV ad that showed a faux spelling-bee contestant sounding out her name, letter by letter.

“If Trump doesn’t get the nomination, I think he would organize a write-in campaign,” predicts Rick Tyler, a former top campaign aide to Cruz, Trump’s top rival. “In some ways, Donald Trump already is a third-party candidate. Right now, he is effectively a third-party candidate, running for the Republican nomination.”

sprung up to feed migrants, hotels and apartments are filled with new arrivals, along with humanitarian aid workers who have come to assist them, and the local government has created new jobs to process them.

“We opened our store a few years ago to serve Greeks that like fishing,” said Ksanthi Ksourgia, who owns a fishing gear shop near the island’s port of Mytilini.

“But due to the financial crisis, few Greeks continued on with their hobbies. So we had to transform the business into one serving the refugees and immigrants.

We now have added sweaters, shoes and baby clothes.”

Some Greeks have exploited the migrants by gouging them for

bottled water, taxi rides and mobile-phone charging.

And the crush of migrants has caused problems for the locals.

They have left garbage everywhere, turned an olive grove into a camping site and cut olive branches for firewood and likely stole livestock such as chickens from residents.

Tourism also has taken a big hit. “In 2015, traffic was down by 80% because the refugee crisis is a big problem for our island,” said Antonis Pikoulos, a travel agent.

This year looks no better as hotels report a drop in summer bookings, he said.

“Tourism is a sensitive issue.

Summer will be a huge drama,” Pikoulos said. “There’s no tourism anymore. And to get back on our feet we’ll need many years.”

Locals here said they hope the migrants will take up the slack, at least until they stop coming.

Greek ships, trains and buses are packed as they head northbound with migrants trying to reach Western Europe. Local ferry companies are thriving as they carry refugees to the mainland, often with the help of government subsidies.

“All ferries that leave the island are full now,” Pikoulos said.

This past winter was the first time that Roula Kyparissi, 67, and her husband, Michalis, 65, kept their family-run Hotel Gorgona open despite a poor summer season. “The (German and Scandinavian) tourists were leaving early,” Roula said. “They said the beach was dirty, and they didn’t like seeing the refugee drama.”

Officials rescue refugees near Lesbos, Greece, on March 24.

The Kyparissis, who spent 30 years working in factories in Germany, know what it means to be migrants. When they headed to Western Europe, they had prearranged jobs and an apartment.

They said they wonder how these refugees will fare.

“We’re happy with our busi-

ness, but a different solution has to be found for these people,” Ksourgia said, adding that she’s become Facebook friends with refugees she’s met and has learned some Arabic. “They still have a long way to go. It’s cold, and they’re carrying babies with them. It’s such a shame.”

Syrian troops retake Qaryatain Town crucial to block ISIL’s supply route John Bacon USA TODAY

The Syrian Army claimed victory over the Islamic State in the town of Qaryatain on Sunday, one week after driving the militant group out of historic Palmyra.

The Army Command said retaking Qaryatain was crucial for securing oil and gas pipelines in the area and for blocking militant supply routes between Damascus and Homs, the state-controlled Syrian News Agency reported.

The town also gives government forces a foothold for attacking areas along the border with Iraq held by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Army units “hunted down fleeing ISIS terrorists inside the city and dismantled scores of explosive devices and mines left behind,” SANA said.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which supports neither the regime of President Bashar Assad nor the Islamic State, said warplanes were pounding the area and that Islamic State fighters were in retreat.

SANA VIA EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Syrian troops claimed another victory Sunday, a week after reclaiming Palmyra. The army hunted down militants, SANA reported.

In Iraq, the military said Sunday it took the northern edge of the Islamic State-held town of Hit, 85 miles west of Baghdad, the Associated Press reported. The operation had been slowed by hundreds of roadside bombs left by the Islamic State, the Iraqi military said.

Qaryatain is a strategic area of fewer than 50,000 people with a strong Christian influence. After taking control of the town last August, the militants posted photos on social media showing bulldozers destroying the Saint Elian Monastery, which dates to the 5th century. Dozens of Christians were abducted by the extremists.

KYLE GRANTHAM, THE (WILMINGTON, DEL.) NEWS JOURNAL

Two people were killed and dozens of passengers were injured Sunday morning after an Amtrak train slammed into a backhoe south of Philadelphia. Service was halted along much of the Northeast corridor, the rail service said.

TWO KILLED AFTER AMTRAK TRAIN SLAMS INTO BACKHOE Service halted on route as dozens of riders suffer injuries

CHESTER , PA .

Two Amtrak workers were killed and dozens of passengers were injured when a train bound for Washington, D.C., slammed into a backhoe south of Philadelphia on Sunday morning, authorities said.

The tragedy, which halted service along much of the Northeast corridor, came less than one year after an Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia killed eight people.

Amtrak Vice President Stephen Gardner said the lead engine of the Palmetto train, which runs from New York City to Savannah, Ga., derailed at about 8 a.m. with 341 passengers and a crew of seven.

Chester Fire Commissioner Travis Thomas said two people were killed.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he was told by Amtrak board chairman Anthony Coscia that the backhoe operator and a supervisor, both Amtrak employees, were killed, the Associated Press reported.

Schumer, speaking in New York, said it’s unclear whether the backhoe was performing regular maintenance or was clearing debris from high winds overnight.

Gardner said 31 passengers were taken to hospitals with non-lifethreatening injuries. Other passengers were being transported by bus to train stations in Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del. “Local emergency responders are on the scene and an investigation is ongoing. Northeast Corridor service between New York and Philadelphia is suspended,” Amtrak said in a statement. Amtrak later announced that service between Wilmington and Philadelphia was suspended but was expected to resume within hours.

Scores of police, firefighters and Red Cross representatives swarmed the area Sunday. Federal Railroad Administration spokesman Matthew Lehner said federal

investigators were on the scene, and the National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team of investigators.

Donovan Bryan, a Defense Department worker from Springfield, Va., said he was in the third car from the front when the train, rolling “full bore,” hit the construction equipment.

“I heard the bang and saw the flames shoot up, and then the train eventually came to a halt after maybe around a minute or so,” he said while waiting for his wife to pick him up at a staging area set up at a local church.

“You could feel the hit, and then (the train car) jumped and I saw flames,” he said. “And I felt the heat from the flames.”

Also on the train was former Republican presidential candidate Steve Forbes, who tweeted Sunday, “Prayers to families of those killed and injured.”

Mariam Akhtar, of Washington,

Emergency personnel investigate the crash site of Amtrak Palmetto train 89 on Sunday in Chester, Pa. Two Amtrak employees are confirmed dead.

The train was traveling from New York to Savannah, Ga.

D.C., told 6abc.com that she was on the sixth car of the train.

“It felt like the train hit something and there were like three or four really big bangs and it kind of threw us off the seats,” she said.

“There was a lot of smoke and everybody was yelling.”

Ari Ne’eman, a disability rights activist from Silver Spring, Md., who was traveling from New York to Washington, told the Associated Press she was in the train’s second car. She said the conductor sent people to the rear of the train, where they were evacuated to a nearby church.

“The car started shaking wildly, there was a smell of smoke, it looked like there was a small fire and then the window across from us blew out,” Ne’eman told AP. “It was a very frightening experience. ... I was just so thankful that the train had come to a stop and we were OK.” The collision caused delays across the Northeast corridor. Passengers found themselves stuck with few answers as to what was happening and the reason behind the delays.

Susan Buckley, who was on her way home to New York, boarded a train early Sunday morning in Washington, D.C., and had no problems until she got to Wilmington.

There, an unusually long stop prompted questions from riders, who were told there was a hold ahead on the tracks and they would have to wait.

“Finally they came on and told us there was a derailed train and we were stuck for hours and we should find other means of transportation,” Buckley said. “Our favorite announcement was, ‘Hello folks, just giving you an update. ...

There’s no update. The train is stopped indefinitely.’ ” The cause of the crash was not immediately known. On May 12, 2015, a northbound Amtrak train barreled into a curve in Philadelphia at 106 mph, causing a derailment that killed eight people and injured 200. The NTSB is expected to issue a final report on that crash by summer.

Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she has not yet been contacted by the FBI in the investigation surrounding her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of State.

“No, no, they haven’t,” Clinton said on NBC’s Meet the Press when asked if agents had been in touch with her. “Back in August, we made clear that I’m happy to answer any questions that anybody might have.”

Clinton said she is not concerned that the investigation may not be finished by the time Democrats hold their national convention in July, “because I don’t think anything inappropriate was done,” she told moderator Chuck Todd. The Democratic front-runner acknowledged once again that sending emails from a private server while secretary of State was “a mistake.”

Post office boots blind broom vendor Tim Evans

The Indianapolis Star

His name is Jim Richter, but most people around Indianapolis know him simply as “the Broom Guy.” For over 60 years, the blind Indianapolis man and his “tepee” of brooms have been fixtures at several Indianapolisarea post offices, including the Nora, Castleton, Bacon Station and Broad Ripple branches near his home.

“Have been” — that’s the operative phrase in this story.

That’s because an Indianapolis post office official told Richter in February to leave the Nora branch. In fact, the Broom Guy has been told he is no longer welcome on any other post office property in Indianapolis.

The message was delivered, the 78-year-old Richter said, by a woman who told him that if he wasn’t gone in 10 minutes, he would be forcibly removed from his spot under an overhang near the building’s entrance. “She said I was giving the post office a bad image,” he said.

Some of Richter’s friends and customers, however, see it another way. They think his ejection leaves the post office looking bad.

BIG BIG STOCKS MISS OUT BADLY ON THIS YEAR’S RALLY GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Matt Krantz USA TODAY

The impressive recovery in stocks this year has been a big relief for most investors. But some have a good reason to feel left way behind.

Seven stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including drug distributor Endo International (ENDP), biotech Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) and energy firm Transocean (RIG), not only completely missed out on the market’s gain this year but are down by large amounts, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. While the market has undone its frightening start to 2016 and is up 1% this year, these stocks are down 25% or much more.

Seeing this much pain in the market, despite a strong 7% bounce-back by the broad market in March alone, shows where much of the market’s pain is still concentrated. Four of the seven stocks that are down 25% or

The biggest drug stock disappointment this year has been Endo, though, which is down 53%.

The company has been dogged by potential liabilities from legal claims of some of its products and competition from generics.

And then Thursday, the company was named in a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission accusing it of violating rules against paying generic drug makers to delay making a cheaper version of its drug. “Although we argue that we have now likely – and finally – seen the worst (in Endo’s stock), this becomes an issue of whether there are better potential investments to make,” says Ken Cacciatore, research analyst at Cowen in a note to clients. “We would argue that there are.”

Food giants partnering with innovative start-ups The goal: Help them grow instead of being outflanked by them

Tio Gazpacho founder Austin Allan is one of several entrepreneurs who General Mills is investing in through its 301 INC business development division.

Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

NEW YORK When entrepreneur Austin Allan starts rolling out the next product line for his drinkable, chilled soup company next year, he’ll be doing so with the quiet support of a big-name backer: General Mills.

The Minneapolis-based packaged-food giant is scouting and investing in promising food startups such as Allan’s Tio Gazpacho, based in New York, in a bid to get in early on emerging grocery categories, particularly ones with health and wellness appeal.

Rather than risk being outflanked or surprised by hot, young food-industry disrupters, General Mills is partnering with entrepreneurs through its business development and venture capital arm, 301 INC, to take ownership stakes and help their businesses grow.

And they’re not the only ones who see the opportunity. Coke’s VEB unit, which stands for Venturing and Emerging Brands, invests in products with “billion-dollar potential.”

It’s responsible for bringing brands including Honest Tea and Zico coconut water into the com-

TIO GAZPACHO

pany’s portfolio in recent years.

Campbell Soup launched an external venture capital firm called Acre Venture Partners earlier this year.

301, which started ramping up investments in the past year, is setting up the potential for future acquisitions as General Mills looks to transform its product line toward more natural options.

Health and wellness food products are a small category but one winning over Americans’ taste buds: Sales of natural and organic products grew more than 11% in the year ended Feb. 20, a period when overall food sales grew less than 2%, according to Nielsen.

Natural and organic foods make up 7.9% of all food sales in the U.S., up from 7.2% a year ago.

Already, 301 has led a $3 million fundraising round for Rhythm Superfoods, which makes snack chips made from vegetables like kale and broccoli, which closed in January.

It also holds minority stakes in Good Culture, a brand of organic cottage cheese with probiotics — live bacteria that are good for your digestive system — and Beyond Meat, a maker of plantbased burgersand chicken strips .

“It gives us an opportunity to build that relationship early and to help accelerate their growth,” says John Haugen, vice president of 301, which led a $1.25 million funding round for Tio Gazpacho that closed last week. “Down the road it can create opportunities for those brands to become part

of General Mills.” Haugen declined to say specifically how much the company has invested in Tio Gazpacho or any of the other companies.

Allan says he has no qualms about partnering with a company that counts Pillsbury cookie dough and Hamburger Helper among its products.

“It helps them reach new consumers and it helps them stay relevant,” he says. “I see that they’re moving in the direction of where food is going and we want to be a part of that. We want to help them on that journey.”

Allan, whose company makes three — with a fourth coming in May — flavors of drinkable, organic gazpacho sold for $8 a bottle, says he plans to use the money on sales and marketing efforts, hiring and research and development for a less expensive line of soups that don’t rely on pricy organic tomatoes.

His brand is still small — it brought in less than $1 million in sales last year and is primarily sold in the New York metro area.

Allan has a staff of two, including himself.

He’ll continue to operate Tio Gazpacho independently, with General Mills acting as an adviser. For Allan, General Mills’ investment means a chance to become a national leader in a grocery category that doesn’t exist yet. “We’re doing something that nobody else is doing,” he says.

TRAVEL ASK THE CAPTAIN

Towing aircraft can save fuel, be safer John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

ELIOT J. SCHECHTER FOR USA TODAY

Spirit Airlines was rated the worst U.S. airline for on-time arrival and customer complaints by the 2016 Air Quality Rating.

Airline complaints rise even as performance improves Charisse Jones USA TODAY

U.S. airline performance improved in three of four key categories in 2015, but the flying public still filed complaints at a rate not seen in at least 15 years.

The 2016 Airline Quality Rating being released Monday, found that U.S. carriers did a better job last year of landing flights on time, handling baggage, and making sure everyone who had a ticket for a given flight was able to get on board.

“Generally speaking, the system works,” said Dean Headley, co-author of the report, and associate professor of marketing at Wichita State University’s W. Frank Barton School of Business.

But “while (airlines) got better in those three areas, most of that is not going to be noticeable by a particular consumer unless they lose their bag or get bumped off an airplane.”

The rating, which is based on data from the Department of Transportation’s monthly Air Travel Consumer Report, found that overall, 79.9% of flights landed on schedule last year, vs. 76.2% in 2014.

Nine of 13 carriers, including United, Southwest, American and Delta, improved their on-time arrival rate over the previous year.

Hawaiian Airlines was the most punctual with an on time rate of

88.4%, while Spirit was at the bottom, with 69% of its flights touching down on schedule.

The industry lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered 3.24 bags per 1,000 fliers in 2015, down from 3.62 the previous year. Virgin America had the best record handling baggage.

The Burlingame, Calif.-based carrier mishandled 0.84 pieces of luggage per 1,000 customers. Regional carrier Envoy had the worst record, improperly handling 8.52 bags per 1,000 fliers.

ExpressJet, with 5.06 mishandled bags per 1,000 fliers, and SkyWest with a rate of 4.05, had the second and third-worst track records behind Envoy.

And the rate of involuntary denied boardings — when a passenger loses their seat because the flight has been oversold — dropped significantly for U.S. carriers, to a rate of 0.76 per 10,000 fliers vs. 0.92 the previous year.

“Given that the industry is getting more complex, and more people are flying, it says at least the industry is trying to do the right thing,” Headley says.

Still, performance varied, sometimes widely, by airline. For instance JetBlue’s denied boarding rate was the lowest in 2015, at 0.02 per 10,000 passengers, while Envoy Air had the worst record, with a rate of 2.35 per 10,000 fliers.

“Some airlines focus on different things,” Headley says. At “Jet-

RATING AIRLINES BEST PERFORMING U.S. AIRLINES On-time arrival: Hawaiian (88.4%) Denied boardings: JetBlue (0.02) Mishandled bags: Virgin America (0.84) Customer complaints: Alaska Airlines (0.50) WORST PERFORMING U.S. AIRLINES On-time arrival: Spirit (69%) Denied boardings: Envoy (2.35) Mishandled bags: Envoy (8.52) Customer complaints: Spirit (11.73) NOTES: Denied boardings figures are per 10,000 passengers, mishandled bags are per 1,000 customers and complaints are per 100,000 fliers.

Blue, this is part of their corporate philosophy and culture ... It also tells me if they figured out how to make that not happen, why can’t more?” airlines do the same.

The worst performers tended to be regional and low-cost carriers. No-frills Spirit, which charges to carry on a bag or to even select your own seat, had the highest complaint rate, with 11.73 per 100,000 fliers. Alaska Airlines had the lowest rate of complaints, .50 per 100,000 fliers.

The regional carriers tend to ferry passengers from smaller markets into larger hubs, putting them farther away from their main base if, for instance, a plane has a mechanical issue that needs to be addressed, Headley says.

“The Envoys and the ExpressJets tend to fly those types of routes,” he says. “That’s their role. So they’re inherently going to have a few more problems with performance outcomes than those who fly out of hubs.”

But passengers seem to feel that across the board, airlines can do better. Complaints were up to 1.90 per 100,000 fliers last year, the worst rate since 2001, Headley said. The largest number of gripes had to do with flight issues, luggage, and reservations, ticketing, and boarding.

For “a lot of fliers, somebody’s landed on their last nerve,” Headley says. But complaints can also show the airlines where to improve, and if they respond well, “You can by policy and employee commitment, which trickles down from managerial commitment, change the culture and the performance outcome.”

Q: Upon arrival at the San Antonio airport this morning, the captain informed us that our plane was to be towed to the gate. What circumstances would require such a tow?

— Irma Lopez, San Antonio A: A tow-in gate usually has obstructions requiring more precise maneuvering. It is then safer to have a tug maneuver the aircraft than to taxi it when in close proximity to obstructions.

Q: I recently connected through O’Hare and noticed that sometimes the pushback trucks are used to move larger planes to/from the taxiway and into and out of the gate area. Is this a fuel-saving measure?

— Dave C., Iowa A: Using ground tugs to move airplanes on the ground does save fuel. It also allows for precise parking as the tug driver can see the area around the airplane better than the pilot can from the flight deck.

Q: Why do pilots retract the flaps after landing before exiting the runway?

— Nakul Vk, India A: After the landing rollout is complete and the aircraft turns onto the taxiway, the flaps are retracted to prevent any damage by rocks or other debris on the taxiway from jet-blast. Additionally, the flaps should be retracted when the airplane is at the gate to provide as much clearance as possible for the ground equipment.

Q: While the aircraft is parked at the gate, what is the purpose of locking the rudder to the left or right?

— Barrett, Dallas A: This is done to keep the wind from damaging the flight controls while on the ground.

Wind can slam flight controls (ailerons, rudder and elevators), doing damage while on the ground.

Flight controls are designed to work with air flowing over them.

Manufacturers design control locks to deflect the wind and minimize stress on the controls.

Troubling signs for aviation safety Christopher Elliott

HOW TO FLY SAFE THIS SUMMER

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Like a lot of air travelers, Scott Cocking feels safe when he boards a plane.

But he still worries.

“I think there are things that can be done to make air travel safer,” says Cocking, a marketing executive from West New York, N.J. Topping his list of worries: the Transportation Security Administration’s many public failures, and the ever-present fear of an aviation disaster brought to the surface by several recent events, including the terrorist bombing that killed 11 people and injured 81 in Brussels last month.

None of the world’s safest airlines are American, according to the latest numbers from the Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre in Germany. Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates and EVA Air earned the highest marks in their safety rankings. JetBlue Airways (11th) is the top-rated U.S. carrier, and Delta Air Lines (17th) is the safest legacy carrier. Alaska Airlines is the lowest-rated, landing in the 43rd spot out of 60 carriers.

The airline industry wants you to think it’s all but crash-proof.

The planes might be properly maintained, and the pilots well trained, but air travel is hardly

uIf you have to fly, choose the safest carriers.

In the United States, the three safest, according to the Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre, are JetBlue, Delta and Southwest.

uSteer clear of dangerous places. The riskiest places to fly are Nepal, Indonesia and Suriname, according to the site Airlineratings.com.

risk-free. And it’s no coincidence that “fear of flying” courses are as popular as ever.

Cocking’s top concern — a complacent TSA — is well founded. The federal agency assigned to protect America’s transportation systems (read: airports) has had well-documented issues. An internal report last year revealed that inspectors posing as passengers successfully smuggled weapons past TSA agents in 67 out of 70 tests. A second round of testing later in the year showed little improvement. The agency generates a predictable number of complaints from customers, who fear TSA’s performance makes it a weak link in aviation security.

“TSA is nothing but a hassle,” says Beth Allen, a retired paralegal and frequent air traveler from

Tucson. “I continually have to be patted down because of joint replacements. My cat even gets patted down. Meanwhile other passengers are flying through security carrying knives and who knows what other potentially lethal weapons.”

Taking a big-picture view, the number of commercial airline accidents plummeted in 2015, making it one of the safest years for flying in five years.

“When you look back at the 1970s and early 1980s, there was a major airline wreck in the United States every year,” says Phil Derner, Jr., who runs a private aviation company in New York.

“Annual airline crash fatalities were in the double or triple digits.

Today, however, in over six years the total number of airline crash

uIf it looks too good to be true ... Airlines that offer rock-bottom fares may cut in other departments as well. Something to remember the next time you see a fare so much lower than any competitors.

fatalities is only two. Two people, out of almost five billion people that have flown in the U.S.” Impressive. And yet several recent incidents cast doubts on overall safety of air travel, beyond just lackadaisical airport screening. Among them are the FlyDubai crash in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, last month, which killed all 62 passengers. And looming large is a damning report by French officials about the Germanwings crash in the mountains near Prads-Haute-Bléone, France, which killed all 150 peo-

ple on board. The mentally ill pilot, Andreas Lubitz, is said to have deliberately steered the aircraft into the Alps. French aviation authorities recommended improved screening for pilots.

Most worrisome is the prospect of another aviation disaster in the U.S., raised by maintenance outsourcing and rapidly growing airlines, particularly low-cost carriers with older fleets.

“Old planes, warp-speed growth and a lot of maintenance issues,” says Mary Schiavo, a former U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general and author of Flying Blind, Flying Safe. “Looking at the trends, it doesn’t require a crystal ball to forecast disaster on the horizon.”

Aviation insiders dismiss concerns like those, saying the fears are being stoked by a 24/7 news cycle.

“These fixations tend to be short-lived, but they are intense enough to give people the impression that flying is becoming more dangerous,” says Patrick Smith, author of Cockpit Confidential: Everything You Need to Know About Air Travel. “In fact, it has become safer.”

Add up all the disasters and the worries and possibilities, and it’s no surprise those “fear of flying” programs are still in business. As the summer travel season approaches, we may not have much to worry about when it comes to airline safety. But we will anyway.

Cast your ‘bubble’ ballot Gary Levin l USA TODAY

T

he ballot box is now open.

USA TODAY’s 19th annual Save Our Shows poll asks you to weigh in on which of 26 scripted broadcast series hovering “on the bubble” between renewal and cancellation should survive to see another season.

On this year’s list are two long-running ABC dramas, Castle and perennially endangered Nashville; CSI: Cyber, the lone remnant in the hugely successful 16-year franchise; and, as usual, several freshmen series either too new to judge or with mediocre ratings, including Fox comedies starring Rob Lowe and John Stamos, which have struggled all season, and CBS’ Rush Hour remake, which premiered only last week.

As more viewers watch on different platforms and traditional TV ratings decline, the calculus that network programmers use to determine which shows stay or go gets more complicated. ABC’s American Crime and Fox’s The Grinder count programming executives among their most passionate fans but suffer from extremely low ratings. In their favor: Both shows are wholly owned by their networks, so they can benefit from sales to overseas outlets, streaming services and local stations in a way that Nashville and NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura can’t.

(That’s partly what doomed ABC’s Forever last year and will end CBS’ Person of Interest after a shortened fifth season this summer.)

Also unlikely to return are Marvel’s Agent Carter (ABC has cast star Hayley Atwell in a promising new-series pilot), an updated version of The Muppets and NBC’s Heroes Reborn. But Fox’s The X-Files sequel is on the bubble for a return in 2017-18, pending new contracts with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and Scream Queens will be back despite weak ratings, thanks to Web viewing and the network’s loyalty to producer Ryan Murphy. Other freshman series expected back include Quantico, Supergirl, Life in Pieces, Blindspot and Superstore.

CW, jointly owned by CBS and Warner Bros., renewed all 11 of its scripted series, so its only question mark is Containment, a midseason replacement that doesn’t arrive until April 19 and is not included in the poll.

But others’ fates rest partly on how well the pilot episodes turn out for new series vying to replace them.

Series producers often pitch plotlines for new seasons as a way to help ensure their survival; producer Lionsgate has even promised to sign the producers of thirtysomething in a bid to secure a fifth season for Nashville. And some stars take to Twitter to make their case, offering an alternative to pay services that don’t depend on ads, and therefore ratings, for survival. “If you want original, smart/silly comedy to survive on TV you don’t have to pay for, you should tune in,” Grinder star Lowe wrote last week.

Last year, nearly 117,000 fans voted, and among 21 shows in that poll, 10 were renewed, 10 were canceled and one, Fox’s The Mindy Project, found a new home on Hulu. Does your ballot count? It’s far from the only factor, but make your voice heard at saveourshows.usatoday.com. And look for results in a few weeks.

‘Batman v Superman’ nosedives but still crushes rivals Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

The Dark Knight and Man of Steel delivered a box office beatdown yet again.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is No. 1 for a second straight week with $52.4 million, according to estimates from tracking service comScore. The DC Comics film, which pits the Caped Crusader (Ben Affleck) against the Last Son of Krypton (Henry Cavill), has earned $261.5 million in just 10 days.

The superhero face-off dominated despite negative reviews (29% critical approval on the aggregate site RottenTomatoes .com) and a massive drop of 68% from its first weekend, when it opened to a record-shattering

$166 million.

“It is a pretty significant drop, but this was expected,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. With more than $681 million worldwide, “you have to consider it a box office winner, but on the critical front, it took a pretty hard beating. This was the poster child for that disconnect between critics and fans,” who gave it a B grade on CinemaScore.

Batman v Superman is director Zack Snyder’s follow-up to 2013’s Man of Steel. It co-stars Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the female superhero’s first liveaction feature-film appearance in her 75-year history. The blockbuster carries a hefty price tag of $250 million.

In second place, Zootopia

dropped just 17% in its fifth weekend to earn $20 million. The critically adored comedy has now made $275.9 million in North America and a staggering $787.6 million globally, making it Disney’s biggest animated success since 2013’s Frozen (which scorched the box office with nearly $1.3 billion worldwide).

Nia Vardalos’ My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 held strong with $11.1 million and third place in its second weekend, which brings its total to $36.5 million. The comedy arrives more than a decade after its predecessor, which sprinted down the aisle in 2002 with $241.4 million in North America.

God’s Not Dead 2 managed just $8.1 million for fourth place in 2,400 theaters. The faith-based film is a sequel to the 2014 hit.

Rounding out the top five,

CLAY ENOS, WARNER BROS.

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill continue their battle for box office domination in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Miracles From Heaven continued to bless the box office with $7.6

million in its third weekend, dropping only 22%. The Christian drama, starring Jennifer Garner and Queen Latifah, has now earned $46.8 million.

“For that film to be doing this well is a testament to how loyal and passionate the faith-based audience is,” Dergarabedian says.

“Closing in on $50 million, it’s a total moneymaking machine.”

In limited release, Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!!, a “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused, scored a solid $323,000 in just 19 theaters ($371,000 since opening Wednesday). In four theaters, Don Cheadle’s Miles Davis film, Miles Ahead, trumpeted $123,000 for a strong per-theater average of $31,000.

Final numbers are expected Monday.

Brotherly battle underlies title game Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Self, KU haven’t always had edge Kansas University forever appears on the lists of schools McDonald’s All-Americans are considering. That, coupled with Kansas winning the Big 12 every year, creates the sometimes-inaccurate perception that the Jayhawks always have a talent advantage when they take the floor.

Given that perception, Bill Self’s 2-6 career record (2-4 at Kansas) in Elite Eight games begs explanation. The only way to find one is by studying his previous appearances in the round that launches the winning team into the Final Four.

In doing so, I’ll bank on a completely unscientific means of measuring which team, in Self’s seven Elite Eight appearances, had more talent. I’ll count the NBA points scored by players who appeared in that game and see which team had more future NBA firepower. Why that method?

Why not? Performance in the best league in the world certainly speaks more to pure talent than high school reputation. (All points used here do not include any scored in Sunday’s NBA games.)

North Carolina 59, Tulsa 55, 2000: Although Las Vegas favored Tulsa to win, the Tar Heels had more pure talent. That Tulsa team didn’t send any player to the NBA. Joseph Forte, the star of that particular game with 28 points, scored 30 points in the NBA, and Brendan Haywood totaled 5,538. So give the Tar Heels a 5,568-0 victory.

Arizona 87, Illinois 81, 2001: Self coached three NBA players in this one, and Lute Olson had four.

Richard Jefferson, Gilbert Arenas, Luke Walton and Loren Woods made it to the NBA, and Jefferson still is playing, coming off the bench for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Former Illini star Deron Williams, sidelined because of a sports hernia injury, is with the Dallas Mavericks. Brian Cook and Robert Archibald also played in the NBA. Score it Arizona 44,419, Illinois 15,415, so far.

Houston (ap) — Kris Jenkins and Nate Britt, brothers in every way except blood, are giving each other the silent treatment for about 48 hours.

Maybe they will exchange a “good luck” or a fist bump before Jenkins and Villanova (34-5) face Britt and North Carolina (33-6) tonight in the NCAA Tournament championship game.

Otherwise, “Nah,” Jenkins said, “no talking.”

It’s the biggest competi-

tion yet between a couple guys who grew up trying to beat each other in everything. While the WildcatsTar Heels matchup might be a no-lose situation for the Britt family, for the players involved there will definitely be only one winner.

“Whoever wins the game, obviously the other one is going to be hurt and going to feel bad,” Britt said.

“That’ll be permanent bragging rights for the rest of our lives.”

Jenkins and Britt met as 10-year-olds playing AAU basketball in the Washington D.C. area. Eventually, Jenkins started playing for a team coached by Britt’s father and spending lots of time at the Britts’ home — especially when Jenkins’ mother, Felicia, was spending almost all of her time at the hospital with her ailing infant daughter. Kori was 11 months old when she died.

When Felicia Jenkins, a former college basketball

player, got a job coaching at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina, she felt it would be best for Kris to stay with the Britts in Maryland permanently. In 2007, the Britts became Jenkins’ legal guardians.

KANSAS CITY CENTER FIELDER LORENZO CAIN, LEFT, CELEBRATES HIS RUN with teammate Alex Gordon during the fourth inning of the Royals’ 4-3 victory over the Mets on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

K.C. opens with rematch win Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Edinson Volquez would rather sit on the bench than stand on the mound on opening day, especially when it happens to be the first game following a World Series triumph.

“I like to enjoy the show,” Volquez explained with a grin. “Enjoy the time.”

He had every reason to enjoy Sunday night’s festivities anyway.

Given no choice but to start

the game by Royals manager Ned Yost, the veteran righthander responded with six scoreless innings. His bullpen held on through three more shaky frames, and Kansas City beat the New York Mets 4-3 in the first opening-day rematch of a World Series.

“I did the best I could,” said Volquez, who also started the decisive Game 5 at Citi Field last November.

The Mets rallied for three

runs off Joakim Soria in the eighth, then put runners on the corners with one out against Wade Davis in the ninth. But the All-Star closer struck out David Wright and Yoenis Cespedes, preserving a nail-biting victory and sending 40,030 fans home in another celebratory mood.

Roy Williams hasn’t been spending every waking moment in Houston — site of the Final Four — preparing his North Carolina Tar Heels for tonight’s NCAA championship game against Villanova.

The former Kansas University basketball coach has found time to fulfill grandpa duties with his son, Scott, and daughter-in-law Katie’s two sons, Aiden (6) and Court (4).

“He is an off-the-charts grandpa,” 1995 Lawrence High and 1999 UNC graduate Scott Williams told the Journal-World Sunday in a phone conv e r s a t i o n Roy Williams from Texas.

“The mornings we’ve been here, we’ve dropped the boys off with pops early in the morning so Katie and I could get a run in together. He’s taken the reins.”

What the heck has 13thyear UNC coach Roy — he spent 15 seasons at KU — been doing with his grandkids in the early a.m. hours in Houston?

Not watching game films, that’s for sure.

“They’ll play card games, go out and run around the grass. There’s a nice little pool-side area at the hotel.

Actually, I don’t ask questions. As long as he takes ’em off my hands and Katie’s hands and lets us go have some peace and quiet to ourselves, we don’t ask,” Scott said, laughing.

On a serious note, Aiden and Court’s gramps today can become the sixth coach in NCAA history to win three national hoops titles.

By beating ’Nova, Roy would join John Wooden (10), Mike Krzyzewski (5), Adolph Rupp (4), Bob Knight (3) and

Houston — Villanova is, unquestionably, the hottest team in the tournament. North Carolina is, arguably, the most talented. It’s fitting these are the two teams left. It’s impossible to say what trumps what tonight.

It is, however, a very formidable obstacle that stands between the Tar Heels and a national title. More formidable, certainly, than 10th-seeded Syracuse, which couldn’t capitalize on North Carolina’s wayward three-point shooting Saturday as Joel Berry tore apart the Orange’s 2-3 zone and the Tar Heels rolled into the national championship game with an 83-66 win.

In a game that could have been played in the Greensboro Coliseum, with two ACC officials on the whistles, the final ACC elimination of the season went to the Tar Heels, who had previously won both the regular season and the tournament. The ACC’s unlikeliest Final Four team bowed out to its most obvious. And now, for the Tar Heels, a new challenge, installed as a tepid 1.5-point favorite in Las Vegas.

Villanova didn’t just beat Oklahoma, the Wildcats nearly doubled up the Sooners, 95-51.

“They won by how much?”

Kennedy Meeks asked. “I didn’t know that. That’s crazy.

I thought they won by like 12 or something like that. Wow. They’re capable of doing those types of things.”

The 44 points represented the biggest margin of victory in a Final Four game since Bill Bradley’s Princeton won by 34 back in 1965. Speaking of Final Fours past, the Wildcats looked like Villanova circa 1985, shooting 67 percent from the field and holding Buddy Hield to nine points.

This may be the best defensive team North Carolina has seen all season — on par with Virginia or Louisville, but playing with an absolutely supreme confidence at the moment.

As hot as Villanova may be, the Tar Heels aren’t far behind.

They were utterly unfazed by their shooting struggles, grinding away at Syracuse, forcing turnovers, drawing fouls and using Berry’s penetration to deliver the ball to the big men on the baseline against Syracuse’s 2-3 zone. For more than four weeks, they have been at their best, laying waste to everything in their path — all five games in the NCAA Tournament by double digits.

Williams, at his ornery feistiest after the game, lamented the absence of the late Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge and Stuart Scott and his friend Ted Seagroves.

And then he said something, almost as an afterthought, that really hinted at what was underneath all the bluster: “We couldn’t be having a more fantastic ride,” he said.

It’s not over yet. One more game, the prolonged and extended ACC season over, the hottest against the best, a worthy champion either way.

a masterful performance at just the right time Sunday in the Shell Houston Open.

Herman, winless in 105 previous starts on the PGA Tour, chipped in for birdie on the par-3 16th and finished with two solid pars for a 4-under 68 and a one-shot victory that sends him to the Masters for the first time in his career.

Herman tapped in for par and thrust both fists in the air after his one-shot victory over Henrik Stenson.

“Sorry for the tears, but I’m pretty happy,” Herman said in his TV interview. “We really did a good job keeping our game plan. We wanted to give ourselves as many birdie chances as we could and keep it low stress. And geez, look what happened. Never thought it was possible.”

The Houston Open was the final opportunity for players to get into the Masters, and Herman seemed like a long shot at No. 191 in the world whose only professional victory was six years ago at the Moonah Classic in Australia.

Stenson missed an 18-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 68 to finish one shot behind. It was the Swede’s eighth runner-up finish since his last victory in Dubai at the end of 2014.

It was the third time since 2008 that a player won the Houston Open to get into the Masters.

Dustin Johnson tried to overcome a double bogey on the 11th hole. He made three birdies coming in, but had to settle for a 69 and was two shots back.

Jordan Spieth made four straight birdies early in his round, but two shots into the water led to double bogeys and a 70. He was seven back in a tie for 13th.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-day 72 and finished in a tie for 33rd at 4-under for the tournament. He won $36,720.

GOLF

Jimenez Champions winner Saucier, Miss. — Miguel Angel Jimenez shot an 8-under 64 to win the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic by two strokes Sunday.

Jimenez started the day in third place, three shots behind the leader Scott Dunlap. But the 52-year-old from Spain took control on the tournament’s final day thanks to a bogey-free round that included four straight birdies from No. 10 to No. 13.

It is Jimenez’s third victory on the PGA Tour Champions in just 10 starts dating back to 2014. He was 14 under for the tournament at Fallen Oak. Dunlap couldn’t keep up with Jimenez, but finished in second place after shooting a 69.

Ko claims ANA crown Rancho Mirage, Calif. — Lydia Ko took advantage of Ariya Jutanugarn’s late collapse to win the ANA Inspiration on Sunday for her second straight major victory and second LPGA Tour win a row.

The top-ranked Ko hit an 88-yard wedge shot to a foot on the par-5 18th to set up her winning birdie — and an unlikely victory leap into Poppie’s Pond. She closed with a 3-under 69 to finish at 12 under.

“This is an unbelievable moment,” Ko said before jumping into the pond.

player bogeyed all three holes, three-putting the par-4 16th, failing to get up-and-down from a bunker on the par-3 17th and hooking her drive into the water on 18.

SOCCER

Wambach arrested Portland, Oregon — Retired World Cup soccer champion Abby Wambach was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence.

Portland police Sgt. Peter Simpson said in a statement Sunday that a sergeant stopped the 35-year-old Saturday night after she reportedly ran a red light in her Range Rover near downtown.

Simpson says Wambach failed field sobriety tests and was arrested. He says she also failed a breath test at the police precinct.

Wambach, who lives in Portland, was booked into Multnomah County Jail early Sunday on a charge of Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) - Alcohol. Jail booking records show she was released Sunday on her own recognizance.

Wambach is the leading career scorer — male or female — in international soccer with 184 career goals. She retired in December after 15-years with the U.S. women’s national team.

AUTO RACING

Kyle Busch sweeps Martinsville, Va. — Kyle Busch finally figured out Martinsville Speedway in his truck victory on Saturday.

He dominated it on Sunday, leading 352 laps and pulling away on a restart with 11 laps to go and outrunning AJ Allmendinger to the finish for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory on the series’ smallest, oldest oval, and a sweep of the two-race weekend.

Busch, who won for the first time in 31 starts at Martinsville in the truck race on Saturday, earned his 35th Cup victory on the season’s first short track. The race was run in bright sunshine, but cool temperatures that never let the track get quite as sticky as it normally does.

The option to pick the inside or outside line as the leader on the final restart was great for Busch, but not for teammate Matt Kenseth.

When the green flag flew, Busch sailed off, Allmendinger beat Kenseth to the inside position, and Kenseth got shuffled back to 15th.

Busch, meanwhile, led the most laps at Martinsville since Bobby Hamilton was out front for 378 on April 20, 1998.

Allmendinger was second, followed by Kyle Larson, Austin Dillon and Brad Keselowski.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Hield wins Naismith Houston — Oklahoma senior guard Buddy Hield has won the James A. Naismith Trophy as the nation’s top college player.

The award presented by the Atlanta Tipoff Club was announced Sunday, a day after Hield was held to nine points in the Sooners’ 95-51 loss to Villanova in a national semifinal game.

Villanova coach Jay Wright, whose Wildcats (34-5) play North Carolina tonight for the national championship, was named the Naismith coach of the year for the second time. He joined three-time winners John Calipari and Mike Krzyzewski as the only coaches to win the award multiple times.

Three-star receiver commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Spring practices may be the main focus for the Kansas University football program at the moment, but the recruiting game is a year-round endeavor.

And Sunday, secondyear KU coach David Beaty learned that Travis Jordan, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound wide receiver/ athlete from Louisiana, had orally committed to join the Jayhawks.

Jordan becomes the fourth commitment in the 2017 class, joining offensive linemen Jared Hocker (6-4, 291, North Richland Hills, Texas) and Grant Polley (6-5, 275, Denton, Texas) and running back Dom Williams (5-9, 186, Dallas).

All four are three-star prospects, which represents notable progress given that KU had just four three-star prospects total in the newly signed 2016 class.

KU baseball falls to Baylor

Jordan, a dynamic athlete who hails from John Ehret High in Marrero, La., represents the first player landed by new KU running-backs coach Tony Hull, who coached 2016 signee Tyriek Starks at Warren Easton High in New Orleans.

Jordan was ranked by Rivals.com as one of the “Fab 15” offensive players at a camp in New Orleans earlier this year.

“He did a little bit of everything,” wrote Rivals

recruiting analyst Woody Womack a month ago after the camp. “During one-on-ones, his focus was on offense, and he won several reps while showing a physical side that allowed him to use his size and body to shield defenders from the ball.”

Jordan told JayahwkSlant.com’s Jon Kirby that Hull’s addition to the KU staff made a huge impact in his picking Kansas over Nebraska,

Louisiana-Monroe, Colorado State and UT-San Antonio and added he believed more players from his home state could be following him.

“It feels good to know he comes from the same area as me,” Jordan said of Hull. “He sees someone like me who wants to make it out. He has made it a good experience and was a big part in me committing. I have a good relationship with him and he showed me a lot of

good things on my visit.... It feels great. I have already been talking to some other players about going to Kansas.”

Beaty and the current Jayhawks will be back on the practice fields Tuesday for practice No. 10 of 15 this spring.

The Jayhawks held their second scrimmage of the spring over the weekend and will host the annual spring game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Keegan

who played in this game have combined to score 9,069 points so far, none for VCU players. Troy Daniels, the Ram on the roster to land an NBA job, did not remove his warmup jacket, and neither did KU’s Jeff Withey.

Of all the Elite Eight misses, this one must have hurt the most for Self. The Rams caught fire from three-point land (12-for-25), and even players who usually did not shoot from long range got caught up in moment and launched successfully.

Of Self’s eight Elite Eight appearances, this was the one in which he had the greatest talent advantage.

Markieff (4,208 points) and Marcus (3,369) Morris project to have long NBA careers.

Kansas 80, North Carolina 67, 2012: Carolina played six players in this game who went on to play in the NBA, and Kansas limited the Tar Heels to 20 second-half points. Remarkable.

Harrison Barnes (2,998), Tyler Zeller (2,164), John Henson (1,991) and Reggie Bullock (274) were starters, and P.J. Hairston (644) and James Michael McAdoo (175) came off the

bench. Kendall Marshall’s fractured wrist sidelined him from playing in this game, so his 786 points in the NBA don’t count. The score: North Carolina 8,236, Kansas 1,902.

It will be interesting to check back in five years or so for an update on NBA points from players who participated in Villanova’s defense-driven victory against Kansas.

As for Self’s seven Elite Eight games heading into the Villanova one, he coached the team with more NBA firepower twice, vs. Davidson and VCU, and went 1-1.

The opponent had more NBA talent in the other five games, and Self went

1-4 in those. So based on that arbitrary figure alone, Self should have had a 2-5 record coming into this past season in the Elite Eight, and that’s exactly what he had.

Looking to next season, if Self lands Josh Jackson and one of the five-star big men he’s pursuing, and if reserves Carlton Bragg Jr. and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk return, those four and returning starters Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Landen Lucas could form a nucleus that would blend experience and NBA potential in a way that could enable Kansas to advance to the Elite Eight and beyond.

after knee surgery, scored a game-high 29 points vs. Kansas and easily has scored more NBA points (8,887) than the combined total of the other six players who made it to the world’s best basketball league. KU’s NBA alumni: Wayne Simien (169), J.R. Giddens (73), Aaron Miles (16) and Keith Langford (2).

Credit the Yellow Jackets with a rout, 11,863-260, thanks in part to Will Bynum’s 2,921 points.

Somewhat surprisingly, Luke Schenscher only scored 55 NBA points.

UCLA 68, Kansas 55, 2007: The Jayhawks didn’t look so hot sneaking past Southern Illinois in the Sweet 16 and didn’t play any better against the Bruins, even though they had the same basic team, just a year younger, as the one that won it all the next year.

But it’s not as if they faced a less talented team in UCLA. Freshman Russell Westbrook, who played just five minutes in this Elite Eight game, has scored more NBA points (12,525) than the seven Jayhawks with NBA experience. Score it UCLA 28,829, Kansas 12,482.

Aaron Afflalo (7,456), Darren Collison (6,203), Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (3,385) all have higher NBA point totals than every KU player with the exception of Mario Chalmers (5,236), who scored just two points on 1-for-8 shooting against the Bruins. NBA points for the rest of the Jayhawks: Brandon Rush (3,035), Darrell Arthur (2,961), Julian Wright (907), Darnell Jackson (308), Sasha Kaun (18), Sherron Collins (17).

Kansas 59, Davidson 57, 2008: Within a couple of seasons, Stephen Curry will pass the point total of the seven NBA Jayhawks who teamed to send Self to his first Final Four, but for now Kansas has the lead, 12,442-10,902.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Liriano stifles Cards The Associated Press

National League Pirates 4, Cardinals 1 Pittsburgh — Francisco Liriano tied a Pirates opening day record by striking out 10 and singled home the first run of the 2016 Major League Baseball season for good measure, sending Pittsburgh past St. Louis on Sunday.

It was 39 degrees when Liriano threw the first pitch of the year. He allowed just three hits and walked five in six shutout innings. His RBI hit in the second came off Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.

David Freese, the 2011 World Series MVP for the Cardinals, had two hits against his former club in his debut with Pittsburgh.

Wainwright gave up three runs in six innings in his first regular season start since tearing his Achilles last April.

Matt Carpenter hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth off Mark Melancon but Matt Adams, representing the tying run, flied out to end it.

KANSAS CITY’S OMAR INFANTE, RIGHT, BEATS THE TAG by Mets third baseman David Wright during the fifth inning of the Royals’ 4-3, season-opening victory Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

put the ball in play, they find holes, put together terrific at-bats. They get that lead early and you know the bullpen is coming in. That’s their M.O. — good starting pitching, terrific bullpen and a pesky offense. That’s exactly what they did tonight.”

Volquez (1-0) allowed two hits and three walks in outdueling Matt Harvey, who also opposed him in Game 5 of the World Series. Harvey (01) allowed four runs — three earned — on eight hits and two walks in 52⁄3 innings.

There wound up being little good about opening night for the NL East champs, still in search of their first championship in three decades. They spent nearly an hour before the first pitch reliving last year’s World Series defeat through a steady stream of highlights on the crown-

shaped big screen, then had to watch the raising of the championship banner over the Royals Hall of Fame in left field at Kauffman Stadium.

“It was just strange, the pregame ceremony.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if we played another team,” Yost said. “For them to relive that, it’s a little awkward.”

Things didn’t get a whole lot better for the Mets once the game began.

Cespedes, the Gold Glove outfielder whose shoddy fielding hurt the Mets in the Series, dropped an easy fly ball in the first inning that ultimately led to the Royals’ opening run.

Kansas City then strung together a couple of singles before Kendrys Morales popped a sacrifice fly to center in the fourth, and Alex Gordon and Omar Infante added two-out RBI singles in the sixth.

Volquez and the Kansas City defense had things well in hand by that point.

NCAA WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR

UConn, ’Cuse in final The Associated Press

UConn 80, Oregon State 51 Indianapolis — Breanna Stewart said she wanted to win four titles in her time at UConn.

Now, after a record rout, the Huskies are one victory away from a fourth consecutive national championship fulfilling Stewart’s goal. A feat never accomplished in women’s basketball.

Morgan Tuck scored 21 points, and Stewart added 16 to help UConn beat Oregon State on Sunday night in the women’s Final Four.

“I think it sunk in when we were going back to the locker room all excited,” Stewart said. “One game left and we’re exactly in the position we want to be in. Now it’s practice tomorrow. National championship game Tuesday.”

If UConn does win on Tuesday night, coach Geno Auriemma will have an 11th national championship, moving him past vaunted UCLA men’s basketball coach John Wooden for the most all time.

“I don’t know what I can do to help them except keep reminding them all the time ‘this is your spot, you’ve owned this spot for the last three years’,” Auriemma said.

“Now there’s no guarantee you’re going to get it Tuesday night, but we’re not going in there Tuesday night hoping we win.

Jim Calhoun (3) as threetime champion mentors.

“I don’t think it is as big a deal to him as it probably is to the rest of us,” Scott Williams said. “I think the takeaway for him is if that comes about it’ll be the way they did it — with the kids they did it with. Inevitably with any team there will be somebody who is a little pain, a little nuisance. I don’t get that feeling with this team. It reminds me some of those early 90s Kansas teams (that) I don’t think were as gifted as maybe some teams out there, but gosh they play their tails off together.”

Scott thinks his dad enjoys coaching this team so much, there’s absolutely no way he’ll ride off into the sunset at the age of 65 and retire if the Heels win tonight.

“The NCAA stuff ... clearly he’s said there’s no way he’d leave until there is resolution there,” Scott Williams said of an inquiry into an academic scandal encompassing the entire UNC athletic department.

“I think he’s found such an immense amount of joy with this team, I just don’t see any chance of

he took a recruiting visit to the Britt home.

“We liked Kris, but we thought he’s overweight, and he’s not going to do all the stuff we do,” Wright said.

But the 6-foot-6 Jenkins, who weighed as much as 280 pounds back in high school, liked what he heard from Wright. He ended up committing to Villanova, and dropping 40 pounds, and Britt chose North Carolina.

CONNECTICUT’S BREANNA STEWART (30) EXITS THE GAME late in the second half of an 80-51 rout of Oregon State on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Because these three (players) they’ve done more than that, it doesn’t mean we’re going to win, but I don’t have to help them with that mentality.”

The 29-point victory was the biggest margin of victory in women’s Final Four history, surpassing the 28-point win by Tennessee over Arkansas in 1998. It was UConn’s 74th consecutive victory, the second-longest winning streak in NCAA and school history.

Syracuse 80, Washington 59 Indianapolis — Alexis Peterson scored 18 points, and Brittney Sykes added 17 to help Syracuse roll past Washington and into the program’s first women’s national championship game.

him leaving. I think this team more so than probably any I can remember has re-energized him. He loves the kids.”

Reports of Roy’s health problems are “greatly exaggerated,” said Scott, who is a bond trader in Charlotte. His sister, LHS and UNC grad Kimberly, owns a dance studio in the same city.

“The attack of vertigo on the court this year?

The only difference between that one and the rest he’s had is it happened on national TV,” Scott said. Roy Williams had vertigo problems dating back to his KU days.

“His knees are not in good shape. That’s obvious.

You see him hobbling out there. He doesn’t run anymore. They are painful but that is not something that will ever stop him from doing what he wants to do. Has the off the court stuff been difficult? Sure. That obviously will affect stress level.

But my guess is he’ll have surgery on his knees and maybe knee replacement this summer and hopefully it’ll all be taken care of,” Scott added.

Scott did reveal his one wish for his dad.

“Honestly, I want him to go take a Div. III baseball coaching job. I think baseball was always his love,” Scott said. “I

ment, Jenkins and Britt watched the game together, rooting for their future schools — and not talking to each other. They trash texted each other and didn’t even sit on the same couch.

“That was fun,” Britt said. North Carolina won 78-71.

The Britts have spent the past few weeks bouncing around the country watching their sons play. Last weekend, they managed to attend all four Elite Eight games, two in Philadelphia (where North Carolina played) and two in Louisville (were Villanova played). Jenkins even attended North Carolina’s East Regional championship victory against Notre Dame.

time defending champions, on Tuesday night in Indianapolis. The Huskies set a semifinal round record with a 29-point victory over Pac-12 champion Oregon State in the early game.

Syracuse made it look almost as easy.

Washington (26-11) was led by Talia Walton, who had 29 points and made a Final Four record eight three-pointers. The previous record of six was set by Katie Steding in the 1990 title game and matched in 2013 by Antonita Slaughter. Kelsey Plum, the nation’s No. 3 scorer, had 17 points.

But Syracuse rode its defense and took a 23-12 lead after one quarter, extended the lead to 3920 midway through the second quarter and never let the Huskies get within single digits again.

want him to coach third base for some school completely off the grid.

To show up at practice which he loves and maybe coach third during the game. I always say do it at Brevard College up in the mountains. Maybe we could talk to the head coach and see if he has a spot open for him. I think he’d love it at that level.

That’s my unrealistic dream for him. I think he’d have a ball doing it,” added Scott, who knows the more likely scenario is his pops coaching at UNC into his 70s. l

Nate Britt, the 6-1 guard who averages 5.5 points off the bench, said he does not know which section his parents and sister will be sitting tonight.

Jenkins, second on Villanova in scoring (13.5 per game), remains close with his birth parents. He says he has two families.

And he roots for North Carolina all the time.

Well, almost.

“I do hope he plays well,” Jenkins said. “I hope he’s injury free and things like that. But there’s nobody in the world I want to beat more than my brother.”
