ACLU: Most new voter registrations ‘in suspense’

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — Voting rolls in Kansas are in “chaos” because of the state’s proof-of-citizenship requirements, the American Civil Liberties Union

has argued in a court document, noting that about two-thirds of new voter registration applications submitted during a threeweek period in February are on hold.

Kansas is fending off multiple legal challenges

from voting rights activists, and just months before the state’s August primary, the status of the “dual registration” system remains unclear.

Federal judges in separate voter-registration lawsuits unfolding in

Kansas and Washington, D.C., could rule at any time. There’s also greater urgency because registrations typically surge during an election year.

Kansas is one of four states, along with Georgia, Alabama and Arizona,

to require documentary proof of citizenship — such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers — to register to vote. Under Kansas’ challenged system, voters who registered using a federal form, which

hadn’t required proof of U.S. citizenship, could only vote in federal races and not in state or local races. Kansas says it will keep the dual voting system in place for upcoming elections if the courts Please see VOTING, page 2A

OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH Mayor choice

expected today ———

City Commission to discuss changes to selection process

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The City Commission will discuss today who Lawrence’s mayor will be for the remainder of 2016: current Mayor Mike Amyx or Vice Mayor Leslie Soden.

City commissioners are having the unusual discussion because of changes in state law that are quickly rendering Lawrence’s decades-long process of Soden choosing a mayor outdated.

A subcommittee, made up of Commissioners Matthew Herbert and Lisa Larsen, formed April 5 to recommend the next mayor. The subcommittee will also recommend what time of year mayors will be elected in the future.

The whole commission must vote on the recommendations, which are not Please see MAYOR, page 2A Amyx

KATHLEEN MARGARET BEER Graveside services for Kathleen Margaret Beer, 64, Lawrence will be held on May 21, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at the Pioneer Cemetery.

She passed away Thursday, December 10, 2015 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Kathleen was born March 27, 1951 in Lawrence, KS, the daughter of Robert Edward and Margaret Robey Beer.

Kathleen was a wonderful daughter, cousin, friend, and global citizen.

She spread warmth, love, kindness, caring, and knowledge to everyone around her and never met a stranger.

Kathleen made a positive difference to many people whose lives she touched.

Kathleen particularly loved the scripture from Matthew 25:35­40 in which Jesus spoke of serving angels unaware. She not only talked the talk but also walked the walk.

Kathleen graduated from Lawrence High School in 1969 and earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of Kansas.

Kathleen was a nurse in Memphis, Tennessee and Kansas City and taught Spanish at the University of Kansas as a teaching assistant in the Spanish Department. She was the caregiver for her parents for fourteen years in the later stages of their lives.

Kathleen had a tremendous gift for languages and music. She could converse in Spanish and French and was able to quickly learn enough of other languages to communicate in those also.

Furthermore, she composed hymns, writing both the melody and lyrics. Kathleen traveled to many countries with her parents. Her father, Dr. Robert Beer, who was

a Biology professor and chairman of the Entomology Department at KU, identified and/or gathered specimens of insects, plants, and animals throughout the Western world.

She continued during her life to have a keen interest in plants and animals, and in their preservation, as well as in history, especially that of Bleeding Kansas.

Kathleen was an accomplished poet and a member of a local poetry group and the Lawrence Welcome Club. She had an outstanding sense of and loved humor discussing the world’s events and politics with friends.

Kathleen attended the St. Lawrence Catholic Center. She was a very active force for prayer and donated extensively to charities.

We miss her beautiful smile.

Survivors include her cousins, Don Beer of Oregon, Jane Beer Gunderson, Ken Beer, Walter Beer, Robert S. Hiatt, and Linda Keck, all of California, her dear friend Pat Transue and many other friends here in Lawrence and around our country. She was preceded in death by her parents and a cousin, Linda Beer Meyers.

being made public before today’s meeting. Herbert said the recommendations are “more of an announcement” and the likely direction forward because three votes are needed to approve them, and two commissioners created them.

Larsen said it “wouldn’t be prudent” to share the recommendations before the meeting.

The Kansas Legislature passed a bill in 2015 moving city elections from April of odd years to November of odd years, and Lawrence’s city attorney is recommending the mayor’s election fall in line with it.

“The decision is really two parts: the shortterm part is simply figuring out who’s going to be the mayor, and the longer-term task we were asked to decide is when terms will take place in the future,” Herbert said.

“We really didn’t want to Band-Aid this thing together; we wanted our decision (today) to reflect a more permanent way forward.”

Herbert said the way forward that he and Larsen will recommend would include moving away from the choosing a new mayor each April, as the commission has historically done.

The state’s new schedule for city elections starts in 2017. Elections will be held in November,

The following things were revealed in various court filings last week: l Of the more than 22,000 submitted voter registration applications submitted between Feb. 1 and Feb. 21, only 7,444 were completed with proof of citizenship, State Elections Director Bryan Caskey said. That meant the majority of those registrants were put on the suspense list, and their voting registrations will be purged after 90 days unless proper documents are submitted. l Younger citizens were affected the most.

Changes in terms The new state law regarding city elections will change the terms of seated city commissioners. l Terms for Commissioners Matthew Herbert, Lisa Larsen and Mike Amyx that would have ended in April 2017 will now end January 2018. l The City Commission will later be asked to vote on an ordinance when it comes to Soden’s and Stuart Boley’s terms.

They were set to end in April 2019, but could be pushed to January 2020. and outgoing commissioners will remain in their positions until the newly elected City Commission is seated the second Monday in January.

“With the change at the state Legislature, we’re looking at a situation where it doesn’t really make sense any more to have April transitions,” he said. “April is kind of a meaningless period now for local politics.”

Following tradition, Soden, who received the most votes in the 2015 election, was named vice mayor and would have been elected this month as mayor.

Boley, who received the second most votes in the 2015 election, would have become vice mayor.

But now, Amyx’s term could be extended to January 2017 to get the commission onto its new schedule.

Since the beginning of the year, the state’s voter registration system has been at the forefront of legal challenges.

On Jan. 15, a Shawnee County District Court judge ruled Kobach has no authority to bar voters who use a federal form to register from casting ballots in local and state elections. The judge also said the right to vote is not tied to the method of registration.

Two weeks later, the new executive director of the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission unilaterally — and without approval of the commission — required citizenship documentation on the federal registration form for voters in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama.

When choosing who would be mayor in the short term, the subcommittee focused “on the calendar, and not so much on the people,” Herbert said.

When making their decisions, Herbert and Larsen talked about whether to factor in a change to how mayors are elected — moving away from a “ceremonial mayor system,” Herbert said, to a strong-mayor form of government, in which voters elect mayors.

Both agreed that type of shift should be left to voters, not to a two-person subcommittee.

“I was not personally very comfortable making that decision for a community by myself, or with two people,” Herbert said. “What we wanted to decide is, with regard to the change at the state level, how could we move forward using the basic governance we’ve always used, but now with a more meaningful calendar date.”

“I tend to think what we did was pretty good,” he said. “Time will tell if people agree with us.”

Herbert and Larsen will announce their decision near the end of the City Commission meeting at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

dual voting system is no longer needed and asked a state court to reconsider its earlier ruling as moot. The judge has yet to rule on that request.

The League of Women Voters, joined by other voting rights groups, filed a lawsuit Feb. 12 against EAC head Brian Newby and the EAC, contending his action will hurt voter registration drives and deprive eligible voters of the right to vote in the presidential primary elections. A ruling is pending in federal court in Washington over a requested temporary order to block the changes for the three states.

The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit Feb. 18 seeking class-action status in Kansas City, Kan., arguing that Kansas residents trying to register to vote at motor vehicle offices are being forced to provide documentary proof of citizenship in violation of federal law. The ACLU is seeking a temporary court order that would allow people to register at motor vehicle offices without providing the citizenship paperwork, and a decision is expected soon. levee near Johnny’s Tavern had said they thought a movie theater would fit in very well with that development. I know I had started to wonder whether the Southwind site — perhaps combined with the mobile home park next door to it — might get redeveloped into a major retail area with lots of visibility from the SLT. But now, it looks like the theater is here to stay — and with reclining seats, I may stay there a long time, too.

Kansas University’s brand new DeBruce Center. It wasn’t a special media sneak-preview this time — on Monday the building opened to all.

DeBruce is still missing its pièce de résistance. James Naismith’s original rules of “Basket Ball” are not yet on display, and the Rules Gallery where they’ll be installed — a passageway connecting DeBruce and Allen Fieldhouse — is not yet complete. It’s roped off, with crews still hard at work inside.

Officials with KU Memorial Unions, the entity running the DeBruce Center, have stressed Monday was a “soft opening” and the $4.3 million rules won’t be installed until everything surrounding them is in place, probably several more weeks. (As DeBruce Center director Curtis Marsh put it in my last story about the building, “We are not messing around with those rules.”)

Aside from some landscaping and finishing touches on exterior metalwork, pretty much everything else is in place. A few highlights: l Protective covering

couple of months since the city’s planning commission voted to support the standards, city commissioners continued to hear questions and concerns, especially regarding measures to allow sheep and goats and their slaughter.

“It’s one thing to grow vegetables, to grow flowers and produce. It’s quite another to raise our own meat products,” said Lawrence resident David Reynolds, who wrote to commissioners with a list of questions and concerns.

“Those bring on a whole special problem. The many issues surrounding farming are not compatible with life in the city.

Kansas University’s third candidate for provost addressed a crowd on Monday, saying open communication is key to doing the job right.

“Top-down doesn’t work.

Bottom-up doesn’t work,” he said.

“Something in between the two is where we reach a Djalali balance.”

Chaden Djalali, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Iowa, was the third and

final provost candidate to give a campus presentation this month.

Djalali said he abides by “three Ts” in his leadership role at Iowa and would do the same at KU. Transparency is vital, he said, openly sharing information and the reasons decisions were reached. Trust also is vital, especially when changes must be made because people are naturally fearful of change. Teamwork means people must come together to reach decisions, even when it’s difficult.

Eudora to explore using $56,000 to improve Paschal Fish Park

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Eudora City Commission directed staff Monday to review how much $56,000 in impact fee park funds could improve Paschal Fish Park.

In doing so, commissioners agreed with a proposal Assistant City Manager Barack Matite brought to the meeting. Matite suggested the city apply $56,000 from the fund built from $200 charged on new home permits to improve the park.

The city is now involved with an Internet

this week. The iPads will be issued to the district’s approximately 2,500 middle school students at the beginning of next school year.

Kemble said possible means of ensuring Internet access for all students could include the district issuing Wi-Fi hot spots, students using Internet at coffee shops or families applying for a reducedprice Internet service.

“So maybe the community helping us out by having places where students can go to access that, having some of those (Wi-Fi hot spots) available, and then maybe the parents having access to this low monthly rate on Internet access,” she said.

The district currently has 10 Wi-Fi hot spots available for checkout at each high school, but creating such a program at the middle school level would mean additional costs to cover the purchase of more hot spots and monthly service charges.

The cost of the leasepurchase agreement with Apple is being paid for from the district’s capital outlay budget, reserved in part for building

He said KU’s search firm contacted him about the KU job, calling the move to provost “a step I want to take because I like the challenge.”

Djalali has served in his current position at Iowa since 2012, according to KU. A nuclear physicist, he was previously chair of the physics department at the University of South Carolina.

He earned his doctorate in nuclear physics and a post-doc from IPNOrsay in Paris, France, and his master’s and

“They’re going to do it regardless of what we want, but I wish they’d do it properly and with consideration of the neighbors,” he said.

The proposed changes to city code would spell out what’s allowed, agriculturally, in Lawrence’s residential areas. Besides a limited number of goats and sheep, the changes would permit, in part, bee colonies and the home sale of unprocessed goods.

Helen Schnoes, food systems coordinator for Douglas County, said what’s being proposed is a “reasonable attempt at providing new opportunities for folks to grow, produce and sell healthy, local food.”

“Over the three planning commission meetings and a lot of other community input and

crowd-funding drive to raise money for new Paschal Fish playground equipment. As of Monday, donors have pledged $3,500. The drive ends Thursday. Kelly Dumais, city management intern, said personal donations of money and materials made outside the website bumped that total to $9,100.

That was still far short of the amount needed to replace playground equipment, Matite said. His suggestion was the city use the $56,000 from the park impact fee fund to purchase the playground equipment, put a trail loop improvements and technology purchases. The district will pay an interest rate of about 1 percent over a four-year period, and then has the options of purchasing the devices for $1 each, selling them to a third-party or selling them back to Apple with the proceeds going toward another leasepurchase plan.

Even without Internet access, students will still have access to some class material. The educational platform iTunes U allows teachers to cache class materials, which are then automatically synched onto all students’ iPads in the class when they connect to the Internet. Once materials are cached and synched, they are available for viewing even when a student is not connected to the Internet.

Whether it be community access points, lowcost Internet service or district-issued Wi-Fi hot spots, ensuring that students have access to the materials they need for class is likely to involve multiple aspects, Kemble said.

“I think we’re going to have to look at this from probably a two- to threepronged approach,” she said.

around the park and use whatever money remained into improving the shelter.

That would allow the city to put a completed check mark next to Paschal Fish Park on the city’s park master plan, he said.

Mayor Tim Reazin voiced the only concern.

He noted the existing trail around Bluejacket Park continued to deteriorate.

It seemed questionable to invest in new amenities when existing ones needed maintenance, he said.

Matite’s plan was a proposal the assistant city manager made earlier this month of seeking $290,000 in Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism grant dollars to upgrade the Bluejacket Park trail and add more concrete trail in the Winchester Road neighborhood.

The grant, which the city would apply for in August, would require a match of $87,000. Matite also proposed the city apply next year for a Sunflower Foundation grant of up to $55,000 to help with the city’s match.

“We’re working toward

those grants,” Reazin said. “City staff is doing a lot of the right things getting those grants. I would say ‘yes.’ There’s a lot of positives of completing Paschal Fish.”

Matite said he would bring back cost estimates for the Paschal Fish Park improvements for the City Commission at a future meeting.

In other business, the City Commission: l Agreed at a workshop to move forward with an employee handbook revision. Added language or changes included banning city employees from

carrying firearms at work, allowing 10 days of paid military duty leave and banning smoking in cityowned vehicles. That last item prompted a long discussion, in which it was agreed the city would explore during this summer’s budget discussions helping with the cost of stop-smoking programs or other incentives. l Recognized Kurt Von Achen for his 45 years of service on the Eudora Planning Commission.

Police: Man brandished gun, faces felony

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A Lawrence man faces felony charges after police said he brandished a firearm over the weekend.

Donta Romon Tanner, 23, was arrested Sunday morning and booked into the Douglas County Jail.

Around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex parking lot in the 1500 block of West

19th Street for a report of two women fighting, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads.

In an attempt to break up the fight Tanner “brandished a firearm,” Tanner Rhoads said.

Rhoads would not say what the two women were fighting about, how or if Tanner knows the two women or what type of firearm he brandished.

Rhoads said there was no indication Tanner fired the weapon.

One of the two women suffered nonlife-threatening injuries from the fight, Rhoads said.

While both women were released at the scene, Rhoads said affidavits were filed with the Douglas County district attorney’s office for possible criminal

charges.

Felony charges of aggravated assault and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon were filed against Tanner.

Tanner is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. next Monday. He is being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Man, 30, accused of kidnapping, battery

A Lawrence man is accused of holding a 20-year-old person against their will for several days earlier this month.

Shane Steven Allen, 30, was arrested Friday. On Monday, Allen appeared in Douglas County District Court, where one felony charge of kidnapping and four felony charges of battery were filed against him.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court, Allen used threat, deception or force to take or confine the victim between April 12 and 18.

On April 12, 13, 14 and 15 Allen caused bodily harm to the victim in such a way that “great bodily harm, disfigurement or death could be in— K-12 education reporter flicted,” the criminal complaint says.

Rochelle Valverde can be reached at If convicted of all five felonies, Allen 832-6314 or rvalverde@ljworld.com. could face nearly 32 years in prison.

Allen is being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.

He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said in an email on Monday that Allen’s booking photo is “not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act.”

Damaging winds, flash flooding and tornadoes are all possible with these storms, which could extend into the early morning hours Wednesday.

bachelor’s degrees in physics from University of Paris XI, according to his resume.

Djalali said his prior years gave him a sense of the world at a time before globalization was an issue.

His parents were from Iran, which they fled because of religious intolerance, he said. He was born in Morocco; then the family moved to Algeria but, not being Muslim, also left there for religious reasons.

Djalali said he grew up mostly in Spain but went through the French education system.

Djalali is a scientist with a self-described passion for the arts, and he discussed some interdisciplinary steps he’d

made at Iowa.

One, he said, was working with arts and business programs to create a certificate for how to run studios. Inspiration came from parents asking whether their children should pursue degrees in dance and the arts. They should follow their passions, he said, but universities owe it to society and students to enable them to get jobs. Such a certificate program gives them options.

Djalali answered questions about how he would work with legislators, again stressing communication.

Iowa’s legislative climate is similar to Kansas when it comes to higher

education, Djalali said. Instead of ignoring seemingly unsupportive legislators he said Iowa has “systematically” brought them in and had conversations.

“You have to engage them,” he said.

Djalali also addressed diversity on campus, saying it must be more than a “check mark” or else even the minority faculty who are recruited to a university won’t stay there longterm.

“Diversity has to be something you mean, you really mean,” he said, adding, “it’s a constant struggle.”

Relatively white overall populations in places like Iowa and Kansas make that more

challenging, he said.

“What is our mission as an institution? It’s to show what the world is,” he said. “If you don’t have it, you have to create it.”

More than 100 members of the KU community, mostly faculty and staff, attended Djalali’s presentation at the Adams Alumni Center.

The first provost candidate, KU School of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi, gave her presentation April 11. Larry Singell, executive dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington, presented Thursday.

The provost search committee asked each to address the question:

How can a provost foster an intellectually vibrant campus and advance the educational and research quality of the university?

KU’s provost and executive vice chancellor is second in command for KU’s Lawrence campus but does not oversee the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The new hire will replace Jeff Vitter, who left KU in December to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi. KU’s interim provost since Jan. 1 has been Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs.

policy review over the last 10 months, we’ve done our best to think through what is creating opportunities but not infringing on others’ needs,” Schnoes said.

“We were excited that the planning commission saw value in creating opportunities and not acting out of uncertainty of the unknown.”

In the past 10 years, cities such as Cleveland, Portland, Ore., and Minneapolis have adopted ordinances that monitor and encourage the momentum of urban agriculture. So, too, have fellow college towns Fayetteville, Ark., and Fort Collins, Colo.

Schnoes said the local effort was “nothing out of step with what other communities are looking to do.”

“We were able to look at other communities and say, ‘OK, they’ve had success doing this, and it’s of interest to people in Lawrence, so let’s give it a shot.”

Reynolds and some other Lawrence residents,

though, are wondering about the consequences to neighbors: potential noise, odor, spread of diseases, attraction of predators and rodents, an increase in traffic going to and from homes that are selling agricultural products and other “unintended consequences.”

City staff said there were “many valid questions,” some of which they responded to in a letter to commissioners last week.

The city’s response pointed to specific regulations included in what’s being proposed — everything from sanitary standards to the size and design of produce stands to rules on keeping small animals safe and humanely treated.

To questions about potential diseases and their transmission, city staff said they had earlier consulted Paul Grosdidier, state veterinarian with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, and he recommended goats and sheep

be vaccinated against rabies and leptospirosis.

The city has also reached out to other communities allowing urban agriculture to ask about precautions they’ve taken. Staff will present more information about the issue today to commissioners.

Reynolds said Monday some of his questions went unanswered.

Allowing small farm animals, he said, could potentially attract predators to residential neighborhoods. And his main concern is enforcement, or the lack of it.

“How do we deal with people that don’t comply and refuse to comply, and handle it in an expeditious and meaningful way?” he said. “We create these problems unnecessarily without a quick and efficient way to deal with it.”

The city has said it will enforce urban agriculture operations through the development services branch, which currently

responds to city code infringement when it receives complaints. Reynolds has proposed requiring urban agriculture to be licensed, saying the city could pull someone’s license if there were violations instead of going through what he said is a lengthy compliance process.

In a letter to commissioners Friday, Michael Almon, secretary of Lawrence’s Sustainability Action Network, said the proposal includes safeguards for citizens’ property rights.

“This… has been a communitywide effort: initiated by the City Commission, developed by the food policy council, drafted by the planning staff, harmonized with other sections of the city code, vetted broadly at meetings in the community and twice reviewed by the planning commission,” Almon wrote.

Schnoes knows there remain questions about what

exactly would be allowed.

In anticipation of a City Commission approval, the food policy council has drafted charts and planned a public meeting and series of trainings. The horticulture and agriculture agents at Douglas County K-State Research and Extension sent a letter to commissioners Thursday, stating they “stand positioned to assist” in public education.

“As with any other issue, if someone is a bad actor or something does arise that’s unanticipated, you go through the process again. Nothing is ever a one and done,” Schnoes said. “We’re on board to do a lot of public education and training around some of the things that might become legal that aren’t currently, so those who are interested are doing it right and able to have the fulfillment that comes with it.”

Hospital funds The state’s dire budget situation makes it difficult to address even the most urgent needs.

G

ov. Sam Brownback and two Kansas legislative committees have approved a much-needed funding supplement for the state’s two hospitals that treat people with serious mental illness.

Kansans can only hope that the $17 million allocation, intended to raise employee salaries and offset losses in federal funds, will survive upcoming negotiations to close a state budget hole of about $291 million over the next two years. Some of the money also would go to pay for patients to be treated at private hospitals so the state can continue to hold down the number of patients at Osawatomie State Hospital while that facility seeks to address deficiencies that caused it to lose its certification in December for federal Medicare reimbursement.

A $17 million allocation may not be enough to make a real difference at Osawatomie and Larned State Hospital, but it’s a start. According to news accounts, the funding would provide pay raises at Osawatomie of 10 percent for registered nurses and 12 percent for mental health technicians. At Larned, mental health technicians would receive 2.5 percent pay raises.

The hope is that those raises will help retain existing staff and attract more applicants for nearly 350 positions — a vacancy rate of about 25 percent — that remained vacant at the two hospitals as of the middle of April. The vacancy rate has caused staff members to raise the alarm about excessive overtime that not only impacts their personal lives but also may compromise the safe operation of the hospitals.

About $7.8 million of the allocation is needed to offset lost federal funds, mostly at Osawatomie, and $3.9 million will go to pay for private hospital beds to account for what state officials hope will be a temporary loss of capacity at its facilities. Osawatomie has reduced its patient capacity from 206 to 146 while it undergoes renovations demanded by federal regulators. The state Department of Aging and Disability Services says it hopes to regain federal certification for Osawatomie in July but hasn’t decided when it will return the hospital to its former capacity.

There is no question of the need for this funding, which was easily approved by the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Ways and Means Committee last week. That approval means the funding will be considered this week as part of the state’s broader budget package. Given the state’s current budget situation, no proposal for additional spending is a slam dunk, but lawmakers should do their best to make sure the mental health funding survives.

The real reason for Trump’s grudge?

The first point that Republican hopeful Donald Trump made in his victory speech after winning the April 19 primary in New York was that, as president, he would no longer allow U.S. jobs to be “sucked out” by Mexico.

Obviously, Mexico-bashing still works for him.

The big question is whether his tirades against Mexico are part of a well-calculated populist campaign to appeal to the xenophobic feelings of angry voters, or whether he has a personal grudge against Mexico because of a bad business experience with a failed luxury condo project near Tijuana in 2009.

It’s probably both, but definitely the latter is part of it.

Trump has put Mexico at the center stage of his presidential campaign since day one. On June 16, 2015, he launched his presidential campaign and made world headlines with his claim that most Mexicans are “rapists” and that they “bring drugs and crime.” Ever since, Trump has not stopped blaming Mexico for almost everything that is wrong in United States.

“Our jobs are being sucked out of our states, they are being taken out of our country,” he said in his New York victory speech.

He vowed to “negotiate unbelievable trade deals, so we bring our jobs back, and we don’t let our companies go to Mexico and all of these countries anymore.”

Trump says he will slap a 35 percent import duty on Mexican goods, erect a wall

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

What’s especially troubling about Trump’s Mexicobashing — and perhaps his entire foreign policy —is that it’s not based on what’s good for the country, but may be shaped by his business experiences.” on the Mexican border, deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and maybe cut Mexicans’ family remittances to their home country.

Thanks to Twitter, which Trump has compulsively used in recent years to opine about almost everything, we can assume that at least part of his anger at Mexico stems from his business fiasco with the Trump Ocean Resort luxury condo hotel project.

The three-tower, 25-story luxury Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico condo-hotel project by the Trump Organization and the Irongate real estate company was

originally announced in 2006. Two years later, the project ran into financial trouble, and Trump removed his name from it. By 2009, the project was effectively suspended, and angry investors sued.

Trump said that he had merely licensed his name to the project, and had not been involved in building it. In November 2013, after more than four years of litigation, Trump — who often says, “I never settle lawsuits” — settled one lawsuit by about 100 would-be condo buyers, The Los Angeles Times reported at the time.

In a Twitter post on Feb. 24, 2015, Trump wrote, “I have a lawsuit in Mexico’s corrupt court system that I won but so far can’t collect. Don’t do business with Mexico!”

Can a candidate who tweeted “Don’t do business with Mexico!” shortly before he launched his presidential bid have an open mind about U.S.-Mexican ties?

It’s a fair question, especially considering Trump’s narcissistic personality, and the fact that every one of his immigration and trade charges against Mexico are based on half-truths or blatantly false data.

Trump tells his anxious audiences that the United States is being invaded by an avalanche of undocumented Mexicans. In fact, the flow of undocumented Mexicans to the United States has declined — yes, dropped — substantially since 2008, according to U.S. Census

figures studied by the Pew Research Center.

Trump scares the public claiming that Mexico is “stealing” U.S. jobs, and that “we’re losing $58 billion a year” in trade with Mexico.

But he hides the fact that about 40 percent of the content of U.S. imports from Mexico is of U.S. origin, according to a 2015 report by the U.S. Congressional Research Service.

My opinion: What’s especially troubling about Trump’s Mexico-bashing — and perhaps his entire foreign policy — is that it’s not based on what’s good for the country, but may be shaped by his business experiences.

This is not a man who has ever surrounded himself with foreign policy experts.

In fact, he looks at them with disdain. As he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe March 16 when asked who he consults on foreign policy issues, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain.” He later added that “my primary consultant is myself.”

If Trump were a man who listened to others, this could change. But I’m afraid that a 67-year-old narcissistic billionaire with an authoritarian personality who publicly calls people who disagree with him “dummies,” “morons” and “losers” wouldn’t start listening to others overnight. Much less if he were emboldened by victory.

May 3 is National Teacher Appreciation Day. Unfortunately, this nation too often neglects to thank those who do important and seemingly impossible work. The more than 3.5 million K-12 teachers fall into this category. We owe them big time. So let’s send them our apologies and our thanks.

While we’re at it, we should think about the best way to show our gratitude. Arguably, the greatest gift would be to treat them better in the future than we have in the past.

In the name of this new beginning, we need to admit to past transgressions toward teachers. Here are a few. l We cut their budgets.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 31 states had lower per-pupil expenditures in 2014 than they did in 2008. l We don’t pay them enough. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, salaries of American

Teachers need a consistent and strong voice in the running of their schools, their professional development and school reform.” teachers rank 17th of 26 countries. l We have too little respect for them. According to the Varkey Foundation, America ranks ninth of 21 countries in respect for teachers. l We regularly change the rules of their game. According to the Gates Foundation, “constantly changing demands” are the most significant challenges teachers believe they face.

It’s a mystery why we treat teachers so shabbily.

It’s not because we don’t value them. We understand that our economy and democracy depend on a good education. It’s not because they don’t have an impact on students. We know that a teacher has two to three times the impact of any other school factor. It’s not because we don’t think they do a good job. Polls report that 64 percent of the public have trust and confidence in teachers.

Nor is teacher disenfranchisement a new topic. It’s been the subject of discussions for a long time. But effective solutions have been elusive. Teacher satisfaction rates declined from 62 percent in 2008 to 39 percent in 2012; 40 to 50 percent quit the profession within five years; and enrollment in teacher preparation programs dropped by 10 percent from 2004 to 2012 One of the few benefits of this distasteful presidential season is that it creates a visible forum for important public policy issues. The fate of teachers needs to be part of these debates. Here

are four principles that should undergird the discussions. l Teachers need a consistent and strong voice in the running of their schools, their professional development and school reform. l Teachers need stable employment and career paths with salaries that attract and retain the best students. l Teachers need support in the classroom with materials and personnel (e.g., assistants and mentors). l Teachers cannot be held accountable for the failings of the larger society such as poverty and violence.

As a nation we owe our teachers an apology for ignoring them and our thanks for the job they do. But these are not enough. Unless we change our attitudes and our actions, their fate, and the nation’s, will continue to be in jeopardy.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES POLL

WASHINGTON Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton expect to strengthen their claims on the presidential nominations in Tuesday’s primaries, but a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll underscores the serious challenges they face to heal divisions within their own parties.

Four in 10 Republicans surveyed aren’t sure whether they’d vote for Trump if he was the nominee, saying they would consider supporting the other party’s nominee or a third-party candidate or just staying home. Among Democrats, four in 10 supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders say they aren’t sure they would vote for Clinton.

Voters in both parties split almost evenly over whether their candidate’s loss would be because the winner prevailed fair and square — or because the system was rigged.

During primary battles, hard feelings aren’t unusual. But in the GOP this year, opposition to Trump runs deep from some Republican leaders amid alarm about the billionaire businessman’s off-the-cuff policy positions and provocative rhetoric.

Among Democrats, Sanders has drawn enormous crowds and fervent supporters, particularly among younger voters.

It’s possible the challenges on both sides will last all the way to the national conventions.

In past contests, nominees have succeeded in unifying party ranks, as Barack Obama did in 2008 after a pitched primary battle with Clinton, who then served as his secretary of State for four years. But the partisan wounds don’t always heal. In 1992, divisions exacerbated by a conservative primary challenge to George H.W. Bush contributed to his defeat in November.

For Trump supporter Gregory Bullock, 35, of Phillipsburg, N.J., the question would be why Trump failed to get the nomina-

tion. “If it’s something where the party rages against him — in other words, he goes to the convention with a majority, but they derail him by strange methods — then I will not support whoever they appoint,” he warns.

Sanders supporter Rachel Keller, 37, a homemaker from Dunedin, Fla., suspects the system is skewed. “It’s been shown that the way this process works doesn’t reflect what voters really want,” she says. Clinton supporter Maria Briscese, 54, of Bethel, Conn., disagrees: “Everyone knows the rules going in.”

If Clinton loses the nomination, most of her supporters say, she would have been beaten fairly. If Sanders loses the nomination, most of his supporters say, it would be because the system was stacked against him.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken Wednesday through Sunday, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points. The error margin for the sample of 363 likely Democratic voters is +/-5.1 points. For 292 likely Republican voters, it’s +/-5.7 points.

Gulf states at front line of Zika fight U.S. lacks defense plan against mosquito that carries virus Liz Szabo

@lizszabo USA TODAY

As mosquito season descends on millions of Americans who live on the Gulf Coast and in Southern states, the United States has no coordinated, national plan to control the insect that transmits Zika virus.

With no approved Zika vaccine or treatment, experts said the best way to prevent the spread of the virus is to control the mosquito, a species called Aedes aegypti.

The stakes are high: If the virus gains a foothold in the USA, as it has in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America, children born of infected mothers could suffer catastrophic birth defects. The virus may also increase the risk of Guil-

Fighting mosquitoes is fundamentally a local battle led by a patchwork of 700 mosquito-control districts and more than 1,000 other programs within local gov-

ernments. In some cities, mosquito control is handled by professionals with multimillion dollar budgets. In other communities, mosquito control is more of an afterthought, tacked onto other programs, such as the parks

and recreation.

More than 60 million Americans live in the five states along the Gulf Coast — Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas — which could bear the brunt of Zika outbreaks.

Communities along the Gulf and elsewhere must control their mosquito populations and cannot depend solely on federal public health agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.

“There’s not going to be some national team to come in and save you,” Osterholm said. “That would be like asking the FBI to provide local police service.”

President Obama asked Congress for nearly $1.9 million in emergency Zika funding in February, but Congress has not approved the request. As an v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Editor of LGBT magazine hacked to death in Bangladesh State Dept. ‘outraged’

by U.S. staffer’s death Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

A U.S. government employee, who was editor of a gay rights magazine in Bangladesh, was hacked to death Monday in the capital of Dhaka, officials said.

A group of assailants stormed the home of Xulhaz Mannan, a staffer for the U.S. Agency for International Development, stabbing him and a friend to death,

police told The Daily Star. Mannan was a senior editor of Roopbaan, the first gay rights magazine in the country.

The second victim was identified as Tanay Majumder. Police said five or six assailants stormed Mannan’s first-floor apartment around 5 p.m. local time.

The U.S. State Department condemned the slaying. “We’re outraged,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said. “An act like this is simply beyond words, it’s inexcusable.”

Mannan was a staunch supporter of LGBT rights, Kirby said.

The U.S. government offered to support Bangladeshi authorities,

Parvez Mollah, a security guard at the residence of Xulhaz Mannan, was injured during the assault Monday in Bangladesh that killed Mannan and a friend.

ABIR ABDULLAH, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

he said.

The killing took place after Saturday’s hacking death of Rezaul Karim Siddiquee, an English professor at Rajshahi University in

northern Bangladesh.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for Siddiquee’s killing, accusing him of atheism, according to the SITE Intelli-

gence Group, based in Washington. No one had claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack on the two men.

The government of Bangladesh condemned Monday’s slayings, as well as other killings of secular bloggers in recent months, and blamed the violence on the country’s Islamist political opposition.

Shamim Ahmad, a spokesman at the Bangladeshi Embassy in Washington, said authorities “are determined to catch the culprits soon.”

Ahmad said several arrests had been made in connection with the death of Siddiquee and bloggers killed last year.

Chernobyl carries unlimited heartbreak Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

The Chernobyl Museum in Kiev, Ukraine, has a maxim: There is a limit to sadness. There is no limit to trouble.

USA TODAY recently published a dozen stories about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which took place 30 years ago Tuesday.

The reporting trip that yielded these stories produced its own version of this maxim: There is a limit to the number of questions you can ask about the world’s worst nuclear disaster. There is no limit to the variety of answers you will receive.

The abbreviated version of what I learned on my trip to Ukraine and Belarus is this: Three decades on, there are many sick people, particularly children, living on contaminated lands; Ukrainians care — or don’t; the government in Kiev would probably do more to help if it had any money; in Belarus, the testimony of ordinary people is extremely worrying, people there may be unwell in vast numbers, but risk economic penury or even jail for saying so; most scientists and doctors outside these countries say the radiation may all be in the victims’ imaginations; most scientists and doctors inside these countries say that’s simply not

Valeriya Koretskaya, 10, has been battling cancer for five years. Her mother, Kseniya, says, “It’s all she knows.”

Alexander Bondar is head of security at the Polesie State Radioecological Reserve in Belarus’ Exclusion Zone.

Fedor Alexandrovich says the power plant was deliberately sabotaged at the request of a high-ranking Soviet official.

Ukrainian Mariya Kobylynska painted “Winter Angel.”

“For me, Chernobyl was never a place of fear,” she says.

true, the science is just not sophisticated enough to accurately explain the problem; in Ukraine’s case, 453,391 under-age problems.

There is no limit. Where does that leave us? uWith Alexander Bondar, 65, the nature-loving head of security at the Polesie State Radioecological Reserve — Belarus’ Exclusion Zone — a restricted area a few miles from the Chernobyl power plant. Bondar has spent the last three decades watching over a tainted, sprawling patch of primeval forest that he holds dear.

“You see, no one is living here anymore but the birds are still singing for us,” he says. “This area is not dead.” As Bondar spoke, a half dozen European bison calmly

sauntered past in the undergrowth as if to reinforce his point.

“I once had some guys visit here from St. Petersburg (Russia) who showed up in flip flops. We wrapped their feet in plastic bags.”

Because of radiation?

“No, because of ticks. There are a lot of ticks here.”

Are the ticks radioactive?

“I don’t know.” uWith Fedor Alexandrovich, 34, a Kiev-based artist who stars in Russian Woodpecker, a documentary with a novel explanation for Chernobyl.

“For me, it was a big shock to discover that Chernobyl was a criminal act, not an accident as is commonly thought,” Alexandrovich says. “On the Internet you can

find more than a hundred theories about why and how it happened. They are all incorrect.

There are theories, for example, that the CIA blew it up. Not true.”

He believes the power plant was deliberately sabotaged at the request of a high-ranking Communist Party official in what was then the Soviet Union.

“Most people in Ukraine think of me, personally, as a crazy person, and so therefore think that my theory is crazy without examining it,” Alexandrovich said. uWith Sofia Kluchinskaya, 77.

Kluchinskaya lives in a village in Belarus with her husband, Nikolay, that’s completely cut off from the surrounding area because of elevated radiation levels.

No one else lives in this village.

“I can tell you only one difficulty. ... It is boring to be here alone,” she says. “Everyone is saying to us all the time that we should leave.

Where can we go at such an age?” uWith Mariya Kobylynska, 21, a Ukrainian painter born not far from Chernobyl. “For me, Chernobyl was never a place of fear,” she says. uWith Kseniya Koretskaya, 29, for whom it was. Her daughter Valeriya, 10, has been battling a Chernobyl cancer for five years.

“It’s all she knows,” Koretskaya says.

There is no limit.

30 YEARS LATER

CHERNOBYL DISASTER COULD TRIGGER MORE CANCER, DEATHS Kim Hjelmgaard

Belarus Exclusion Zone

@khjelmgaard USA TODAY

GOMEL , BELARUS Three decades after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded and sent a plume of radiation as far away as the United Kingdom, fears remain that the world’s worst nuclear disaster could still trigger cancer, illness and more deaths.

The initial accident on April 26, 1986, killed at least 28 people when an explosion during a routine test destroyed reactor No. 4 at the plant in Pripyat, Ukraine, then part of the former Soviet Union. The reactor was later entombed in a sarcophagus of steel and concrete to contain the radiation, but it started leaking. A new cover for the reactor is due to be completed in 2017.

The total death toll from cancer from the accident is projected to reach 4,000 for people exposed to high doses of radiation, and another 5,000 deaths among those who had lower radiation exposure, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

Yet, those groups say there is no evidence of higher rates of death or illness for the 5 million people still living on contaminated lands in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

Some doctors, scientists and health workers who live and work in the region insist the death toll

Still, mosquito-control programs have limitations. Almost no one tests mosquito populations to see if they’re infected with Zika because the process is so labor-intensive, said Michael Doyle, executive director of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District. That means communities may not learn they have Zikacarrying mosquitoes until a case is diagnosed in humans.

Zakrevska said there are “thousands upon thousands of Chernobyl children who have severely compromised immune systems.”

Not all experts consider the situation so dire.

“The biggest health danger from Chernobyl is from panic and stress caused by inaccurate reporting by the news media,” said Michael Fox, a radiation biologist at Colorado State University. “We are constant-

ly exposed to both internal and external sources of radiation with no problem unless it is very high.”

Fox said the consensus of “the mainstream scientific community is that Chernobyl was not as bad as we feared.”

Yury Bandazhevsky, a scientist from Belarus who specializes in Chernobyl’s impact on children, was jailed for his criticism of the country’s public health policies after the disaster. He said there are no healthy children in some areas of Ukraine, and illness rates have increased for all age groups.

Poll: Clinton, Trump face divided parties Frontrunners poised to increase delegate gap, but survey shows Sanders cutting into Clinton support

Just one in four of those supporting Cruz or Kasich share that view.

“With major divides in both parties looming, we are in a transition away from intra-party differences on taxes, ISIS, Wall Street, or building a wall,” says David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University. “Now, voters are fixed on the power of delegates, the nominating conventions, and whether the system is unfairly stacked against outsider candidates like Trump and Sanders.”

On one issue, Republicans broadly agree: No white knights.

Susan Page and Jenny Ung USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton may be ready to pivot to the general election against the GOP, but a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll shows that the challenge from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders isn’t over yet: He has cut her lead nationwide to five points, 50%-45%, within the survey’s margin of error.

Among Republicans, Donald Trump has maintained a muscular edge over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Trump is backed by 45%, Cruz by 29% and Kasich by 17%.

As the GOP field has narrowed, support for all three remaining contenders has grown: Trump and Kasich by 10 points, Cruz by 9. The assertion by some that Trump couldn’t win the support from establishment candidates who dropped out, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, hasn’t turned out to be true.

Since February, Trump’s lead has stayed steady, and Clinton’s lead, then 10 points, has been cut in half.

After double-digit victories in the New York primary last week, Trump and Clinton are poised for more good news from the primaries Tuesday in five states along the Amtrak corridor: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

Statewide polls give Trump double-digit leads in all of them, and Clinton has wide leads in Maryland and Pennsylvania and narrower ones in three other states.

Still, Sanders finds himself on solid ground among Democrats on some issues. Even if Clinton clinches the nomination, 54% of likely Democratic voters say he should continue his campaign until the convention, no matter what. That includes not only seven in 10 of his supporters but also four in 10 of her backers.

Democrats also share Sanders’ skepticism about the proper role of superdelegates, the elected and party officials who are unpledged delegates to the convention. Sixty percent of Democrats, including a

majority of Clinton supporters, say the nominee should be the candidate who wins the most pledged delegates. Only one in four say superdelegates should have a vote.

And there’s this: 61% of Sanders supporters say if he doesn’t win the nomination, Clinton should put him on the ticket as the vice presidential nominee. “It would be awesome,” says Keller.

“That way everyone’s voice can be represented. But we all know

that’s not how politics really works.”

Neither Clinton nor Sanders’ campaign officials see a joint ticket as likely.

When it comes to the Republican convention, views of the rules seem to be shaped by which candidate a voter supports. Seven of 10 Trump backers say a candidate who has a clear lead in delegates, even if it’s not a majority, should be nominated — an argument Trump has been making.

Protesters scatter to avoid tear gas Monday in a demonstration seeking the resignation of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah alSisi over his hand-off of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.

The central U.S. was bracing for a severe weather outbreak Tuesday: Destructive tornadoes were possible in and around cities such as Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Dallas and Wichita.

The Storm Prediction Center placed a swath from southern Nebraska to central Kansas and central Oklahoma in a “moderate risk” zone for severe storms.

A moderate risk is the second highest of the five categories the Storm Prediction Center uses for possible severe weather, according to weather.com.

“The storms on Tuesday have the greatest potential to produce numerous tornadoes, including some strong (wedge) tornadoes,” AccuWeather’s Andrew Gagnon said. Wedge tornadoes are tornadoes that are at least as wide as they are tall, according to AccuWeather.

— Doyle Rice INTELLIGENCE CHIEF WARNS OF SLEEPER TERRORIST CELLS

There are clandestine terrorist cells in Germany, Italy and England that pose the same type of threat as the Islamic State sleeper cell that set off bombs in Brussels and killed more than 30 people last month, the director of national intelligence said Monday.

National Intelligence Director James Clapper, asked if clandes-

tine cells exist in those three nations, responded, “Yes, they do” at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Clapper said the sleeper cells underscore the need for European Union nations to do a better job of sharing intelligence information with one another to help thwart attacks. He was recently in Europe promoting that message.

— Erin Kelly TAMIR RICE FAMILY TO GET $6M; CITY ADMITS NOTHING

The city of Cleveland will pay $6 million to the family of Tamir Rice, a black youth fatally shot by a white police officer in a tragedy caught on video.

The city will pay the family $3 million this year and another $3 million in 2017, according to court documents released Monday. The city made no admission of wrongdoing by police.

Tamir, 12, was playing with a toy gun when he was fatally shot by a rookie patrolman outside a recreation center on Nov. 22, 2014. The shooting was one of several across the nation that prompted “Black Lives Matter” protests challenging the treatment of black citizens by police and the criminal justice system.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said that “there is no price that you can put on the life of a lost 12-year-old child.”

— John Bacon

By more than 3-1, 67%-20%, they say the convention should only consider candidates who ran for the nomination this year. There’s little appetite for turning to someone such as House Speaker Paul Ryan over those who have been battling for it for a year.

In general-election matchups, Clinton would defeat Trump by double digits — and Sanders would beat him by more.

At the moment, Clinton leads Trump, 50%-39%; Sanders leads him 52%-37%. Clinton leads Cruz, 49%-42%. The edge for Sanders over Cruz is wider, 50%-38%.

Among the Republicans, only Kasich would defeat Clinton, 46%-41%. A Sanders-Kasich race would be close, 44%-43%.

Regardless of which candidate they support, 50% of those surveyed say Clinton is the most likely victor in November, almost double the 26% who predict Trump will win the White House.

Sanders will back Clinton, eventually, former rival says Heidi M. Przybyla

SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES TARGET CENTRAL USA

“With major divides in both parties ... we are in a transition away from intra-party differences ... voters are fixed on the power of delegates ...”

Bernie Sanders will throw his support behind Hillary Clinton before the Democratic Party’s nominating convention, predicted Madeleine Kunin, the former Vermont Democratic governor challenged by Sanders 30 years ago.

Clinton is poised to shore up her formidable delegate lead over Sanders in Tuesday’s Democratic primary contests in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. The race between Clinton and Sanders has taken a more negative turn in recent weeks and that will take time to “cool off,” Kunin said in an interview with USA TODAY. “His normal demeanor is grumpy,” she said, but despite the increasingly fractious tone, “I think he will do it,” said Kunin, who has been critical of Sanders.

“Now he’s a national figure,” said Kunin. “He claims to be a Democrat. If he wants to hold that stature, he’s got to do it,” she said.

Kunin was governor of Vermont from 1985 to 1991 and speaks from personal experience.

Sanders challenged her when she ran for a second term in 1986.

Madeleine Kunin faced a challenge from Bernie Sanders when she ran for a second term as Vermont’s governor.

on Tuesday.

There are 384 pledged delegates at stake, and the campaign believes it could have 90% of what it needs to clinch the nomination after the votes are counted. Right now, Clinton is 439 delegates short of the nomination when superdelegates — party leaders and elected officials free to support anyone — are included, according to the Associated Press.

While he’s said he’ll fight all the way to the convention, Sanders must decide what price he’ll demand for his full support. He’s already begun to indicate he’ll make demands of Clinton. With the vast majority of members on

the platform committee elected through each state’s delegation selection process, Sanders supporters could exert influence over the Democratic Party’s message that emerges from the Philadelphia convention.

On Saturday, his campaign sent out a fundraising email stressing the impact his bid has had on the front-runner’s policy positions. “Our political revolution has already forced a former U.S. senator and secretary of State to change her mind on matters as critical as international trade, the Keystone Pipeline, and the federal minimum wage,” read the email. “And with every vote and every victory, we grow stronger.”

On Thursday, he hedged on whether he would strongly support her if nominated, telling MSNBC his involvement would depend upon what she includes in her convention platform.

“This will be a challenge” for Clinton, said Kunin. “She can never be as far left as Bernie,” she said, recalling her own experience: “I’m not sure he damaged me, but he certainly took my attention away from where it should have been.” Because of Clinton’s lack of support from young voters, “she does need him,” Kunin said of Sanders. “The great achievement is, he has gotten them out to vote.”

Trump now faces Cruz-Kasich alliance WEST CHESTER , PA .

Donald Trump looks to sweep five northeastern states Tuesday while preparing for a revamped GOP race against an extraordinary alliance between rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich designed to stop him at the July convention.

Denouncing plans by Cruz and Kasich to avoid each other in three upcoming states, Trump told supporters in a gym at West Chester University in Pennsylvania that the deal amounts to “collusion” that illustrates what a “dirty business” politics is.

Echoing comments he made at a rally in Warwick, R.I., Trump

said the Cruz-Kasich alliance is “going to make them look weak and pathetic — which they are.”

With Trump favored to win Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island, Cruz and Kasich sought to reset the race with a unique deal. The Cruz campaign will focus on the May 3 primary in Indiana without opposition from Kasich, while Kasich will take on Trump in primaries in Oregon (May 17) and New Mexico (June 7), aides said.

Kasich, speaking with reporters in Pennsylvania, said “we haven’t spent a lot of resources”

in a lot of states. Cruz, campaigning in Indiana, told reporters that Trump would lead Republicans to a “landslide” loss in November, and his deal with Kasich makes the Hoosier State “a crossroads” in the election.

Cruz and Kasich are underdogs Tuesday, in part because they appeared to be splitting anti-Trump votes in several states.

The two campaigns made clear they would compete against each other, and Trump, in other contests, including California, New Jersey, and Washington.

They wanted the picture to be just right, to look as close as possible to the one they’d taken together 50 years ago, back when their memories hadn’t been clouded by images of war.

So on a Saturday morning, on the sun-drenched Atlantic shore of Cinnamon Beach on Florida’s northeast coast, four Marine veterans gathered around a longboard, trying to re-create a moment from five decades earlier.

Bob Falk, 71, wearing a blueand-white striped shirt, leaned against the board’s left side.

Dennis Puleo, 69, removed his shoes, revealing feet scarred by shrapnel, and pulled off his shirt, flanking the longboard on the right, mugging a wide smile.

Tom Hanks, 69, stepped in front of the board and took in a long, deep breath, flexing his still-thick upper chest and sucking in his belly.

Bob DeVenezia, 70, crouched in front of Hanks, resting his elbows on his knobby knees. The picture couldn’t be a perfect copy, but it didn’t matter. For the first time in five decades, they were together again.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple historically racks up comparatively modest sales during the first three months of the year, after a blockbuster holiday season. That much is certain when it reports fiscal second-quarter results after the bell Tuesday. What is unclear, and what has investors jittery, is what comes next.

The iconic company is expected to post declines in revenue and earnings for its quarter ended March 31, and it faces tough yearover-year comparisons in the June and September quarters, according to analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Those two events appear to be intertwined: Global smartphone sales are growing at their slowest rate, and personal computer shipments are making a bit of a comeback, market researcher Gartner says. Then again, Apple may be a victim of inflated expectations from Wall Street. Such is the legacy of trying to compete, historically, with the best-selling iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

“Apple is in the seasonally weak half of its earnings year, so positive catalysts are less likely,” UBS Technology analyst Steve Milunovich said in a research report. He predicts 52 million iPhone unit shipments in March, slightly above consensus.

Apple shares have rebounded from a February low of $93.70 and are up 12% since, closing Monday at $105.08.

MEMBER FEES COULD BE GOING UP AT COSTCO Analysts predict the “conditions are in place” for Costco to increase the yearly fee members pay. UBS analysts predicted an increase of $5 to $10 for Costco shoppers looking to renew memberships after early 2017, according to published reports. UBS analyst Michael Lasser on Friday predicted Costco’s yearly fee for its basic Gold Star Membership would increase to $60 from $55, and its Executive Membership price would go up to $120 from $110, according to CNN. BOYCOTT OF TARGET OVER BATHROOM POLICY GROWS A conservative Christian activist group has gained more than a half-million signatures from people pledging to boycott Target over its transgender bathroom policy. The petition started by the American Family Association raises concerns Target’s stance on transgender rights puts women and young girls in danger. Target defended its policy “as a company that firmly stands behind what it means to offer our team an inclusive place to work — and our guests an inclusive place to shop,” spokeswoman Molly Snyder says.

NEW HOME SALES FALL FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE MONTH Americans stepped back from buying new homes in March.

New home sales slipped 1.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 511,000, the Commerce Department said Monday. That rate has steadily dropped from 519,000 in February and 521,000 in January. Sales plummeted 23.6% in the West, which has been prone to volatile swings as one of the nation’s priciest housing markets.

Charter Communications’ $55.1 billion bid for competitor Time Warner Cable has gotten approval from the Justice Department and Federal Communications Committee Chairman Tom Wheeler — with some strings attached.

Wheeler said his approval comes with some conditions that the new Charter must abide by, including no data caps for customer broadband accounts. The other conditions, which last seven years: Charter cannot charge online video providers such as Netflix for improved delivery of its

content and Charter cannot institute any policies that would harm or serve as retaliation against such video providers.

“The order outlines a number of conditions ... that will directly benefit consumers by bringing and protecting competition to the video marketplace and increasing broadband deployment,” Wheeler said in a statement.

“In conjunction with the Department of Justice, specific FCC conditions will focus on removing unfair barriers to video competition.”

Charter shares rose 4.6% after the news hit Monday to close at $207.01. Time Warner Cable shares were up 4.1% to $209.76.

Stamford, Conn.-based Charter announced its bid to acquire

Time Warner Cable 11 months ago. Coupled with its sought-after acquisition of Bright House Networks, the new Charter would have about 24 million customers, making it the second-largest TV and Internet provider in the U.S., behind Comcast (27.2 million).

The Justice Department reviewed the transaction, which it likely approved since the two companies do not directly compete with each other. Both Charter and Time Warner Cable operate in 29 states.

Charter has concentrations in Connecticut, Michigan, Wisconsin, the Southeast and St. Louis.

Time Warner Cable’s main customer base is in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and the Northeast, Mideast and Mid-Atlantic.

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

After surging more than 16% off the mid-February stock market bottom, the technology-dominated Nasdaq has cooled.

And a big reason for investors’ chilly reception to tech stocks was the double whammy after last Thursday’s close when tech titans Microsoft and Google parent Alphabet both disappointed Wall Street with profit reports that fell shy of expectations.

The Nasdaq has fallen two consecutive sessions and is off 1.3% since its April 18 high.

Wall Street is hoping iPhone maker Apple can inject confidence back into the tech sector when it reports quarterly earnings after Tuesday’s closing bell.

Like most companies, Apple

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

isn’t expected to have a blowout quarter.

In fact, it’s seen boosting earnings by $2 per share, which is more than 14% below the $2.33 it earned in the same quarter a year ago, according to earnings tracker Thomson Reuters, based on analysts’ latest profit estimates.

Apple has already warned that iPhone sales and revenue will be lower than originally forecast.

What Wall Street wants to see is Apple top the lowered earnings bar, project confidence about its core iPhone business moving forward and deliver strong results in China, which is becoming a bigger piece of its revenue pie.

The world’s most-valuable company is being eyed closely.

Its results could give the Nasdaq new life or reinforce the negative vibe that kicked in last week with misses from Microsoft and Alphabet.

Return to good old days likely not in the cards Q: Can Xerox copy its previous success?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It’s hard to recall now, but Xerox was at the forefront of technology. But now, Xerox investors know more about restructuring than innovation, and returning to the good old days of growth isn’t likely.

Shares of Xerox fell more than 11% Monday to below $10 a share after the company reported an adjusted quarterly profit of 22 cents a share, which missed expectations by 4%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. The company’s quarterly revenue of $4.3 billion beat expectations but was down 4% from the same period a year ago. The company’s revenue missed expectations in the previous 12 quarters, S&P Global says. The biggest challenge in the business is the traditional document technology unit. Revenue there fell by 10% during the quarter.

Selling printers and copiers just isn’t the growth business it was. The company tried to offset weakness in office equipment by buying business services companies. But Xerox has now announced plans to spin off its business services unit, Affiliated Computer Services, into a separate company.

Investors are watching to see how the company balances restructuring costs.

Revenue is expected to fall 4% in 2016 to $17.5 billion, but cost savings should push earnings up 13%, analysts forecast.

Embattled drugmaker Valeant looks to Papa for rebound Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals fell Monday as the embattled drugmaker tapped a health care industry veteran at healthcare supplier Perrigo as its new chief executive and chairman.

Joseph Papa, who had been Perrigo’s CEO since 2006, will lead Valeant’s efforts to reverse a months-long stock plunge as the Canada-based drugmaker copes with investigations and criticism of its business model, the compa-

Joseph Papa was CEO at Perrigo.

ny said. He is expected to join Valeant by early May. Shares of Valeant closed down 2.3% at $35.18, retreating from gains earlier in Monday’s trading session. Perrigo shares, mean-

while, plunged 18.1% to a $99.33 close as the Dublin-based company cut its guidance for the year.

Valeant Chairman Robert Ingram characterized Papa as “the ideal leader” for the company in its current circumstances.

Papa will succeed J. Michael Pearson, who led Valeant during a period of rapid growth in recent years as the company completed a series of pharmaceutical industry acquisitions. The strategy sent Valeant shares soaring to a high of $262.52 as recently as August.

But the stock has lost more than 86% of its value since as federal prosecutors in Massachusetts

and New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission and two congressional panels conduct investigations of the firm.

The probes focus on Valeant’s drug distribution and pricing policies, including price spikes on several medications the company acquired via its pharma industry takeovers. Pearson is scheduled to testify at a Wednesday hearing of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.

Separately, Valeant has said it is on track to file its delayed 2015 annual report by Friday. The company postponed the filing following criticism of Valeant’s

since-canceled business ties with Philidor Rx Services, a mail-order pharmacy that helped distribute the company’s medications.

Following Papa’s resignation, Perrigo elevated John Hendrickson, the company’s president since October 2015, to CEO. Perrigo simultaneously cut its 2016 financial guidance, saying it expects full-year earnings per diluted share of $8.20 to $8.60. The company had forecast per-share earnings of $9.50 to $9.80. Perrigo blamed the cut on reduction in pricing expectations in its prescription segment due to industry and competitive pressures.

aying goodbye is never easy. And a departure by a lead on a popular prime-time television series affects some fans dramatically.For many viewers, a favorite program just won’t be the same without a major player. This month, ABC revealed it won’t renew the contract of Castle co-star series lead and regular Stana Katic, who plays Kate Beckett on the mystery series and will exit in May. Fox’s Sleepy Hollow killed off Nicole Beharie’s Abbie Mills, whose role had been reduced.

Still, TV actors make their exits, and shows survive — and sometimes thrive — without some top-billed stars. USA TODAY’s Lorena Blas examines some recent examples.

Grieving fans are buying up Prince’s catalog.

In the three days after the music icon was found dead at his home at age 57, he sold more than 579,000 albums (digital and physical), according to Nielsen Music. By comparison, Prince sold 1,400 copies in the three days before — an increase of 42,000%.

Sales were highest Thursday, the day the news of his death broke, but Friday came close. Hits collection The Very Best of Prince was the top seller (more than 250,000 copies), followed by the singer’s smash Purple Rain soundtrack (133,000), which has sold 13 million copies since its release in 1984. The albums claimed the top two spots on the Billboard 200 album chart this week, while his box set The Hits/ The B-Sides landed at No. 6 (41,000).

The Purple One sold 2.3 million songs in that same three-day period, including nearly 1 million Thursday and 900,000 Friday, a 33,500% increase in sales. His best-selling songs were led by

Hits collection The Very Best of Prince was the top seller (more than 250,000 copies), followed by Purple Rain (133,000),

“The activity has been pretty intense. ... It wouldn’t surprise me to see (Prince) stay up at the top for a very long time.”

David Bakula, Nielsen Entertainment

Purple Rain (287,000), followed

by When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette and Let’s Go Crazy.

“The activity has been pretty intense,” says David Bakula, Nielsen Entertainment’s senior vice president of analytics. With sales holding steady since Thursday, “the number is definitely going to be higher this week than it was last. It wouldn’t surprise me to see (Prince) stay up at the top for a very long time.”

The jump is akin to that of Michael Jackson, who also died on a Thursday and posthumously sold 422,000 albums the week of his death in 2009. It may be more difficult to match the longer-term sales of the King of Pop, who went on to sell 800,000 and 1.1 million albums, respectively, in the two weeks after.

A more recent example is David Bowie, who died Jan. 10. “As far as depth of catalog and how many albums spiked up, we’re seeing a little more activity for Prince than we were for Bowie,” Bakula says. In the week after his death, Bowie sold 308,000 albums and 375,000 songs, including 174,000 copies of his final album, Blackstar, released just two days before he died of cancer.

Prince released his 39th and final album, HITnRUN Phase Two, as a Tidal exclusive last December before putting it on iTunes in January. He withdrew his music from all streaming services other than Tidal last summer, which helped contribute to the stronger-than-anticipated posthumous sales.

“It’s really quite a tribute to what fans thought of Prince and how much they wanted to enjoy his music,” Bakula says. “The lack of a wide streaming availability has made these sales numbers greater than what anybody would have expected.”

Mom: Plan ahead for organ donation If you go What: Panel of organ donor families and recipients When: 9 to 11 a.m.

Thursday, to be followed with informational booths and representatives to answer questions Where: Lawrence Public Library auditorium, 707 Vermont St.

As a mother whose son died following a motorcycle accident, Sharon Hull has lived through the indescribable emotions of a parent who can’t do anything more to save her child.

In that moment, she said, the stress could render you incapable of making a decision that could save many other people’s lives if you haven’t discussed it beforehand.

Shawn Hull was a 17-yearold junior at Lawrence High

School when he was riding on the back of a motorcycle when it rear-ended a car, throwing him 85 feet down the highway, his mother said.

That was Oct. 6, 1989, and by the next day it was evident that he couldn’t be saved.

Thanks to a previous conversation at the dinner table, however, Hull knew immediately that she wanted her son’s organs to be donated.

“When we got to the hospital, I said, ‘I don’t know what’s going on, I have no idea what’s happening, but don’t do anything that will keep us from

donating organs if that’s what we come to,’” she said.

Because of that decision, the then-56-year-old man who received Shawn’s heart is alive and well after 26 years, and Hull described him as “just a wonderful person.”

“He’s had a really great life with (the heart),” Hull said.

It’s a decision no one wants to make, Hull said, but donating has given her family the only positive to come from the situation.

“If I had a choice, my son would have his organs, but that Please see ORGAN, page 2C

896 people donate 73,949 hours in 2015

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

As National Volunteer Month — a time to celebrate the work that volunteers do year-round — winds down, Lawrence Memorial Hospital recognizes the vital role volunteers have in supporting quality health care in our community.

Last year, 896 volunteers contributed 73,949 hours in service to LMH. Those numbers more than support the theme of this year’s celebration: “LMH Volunteers: We

have you covered.”

Some amazing facts about LMH volunteers: l Volunteers are assigned in 77 different places in the hospital. l Escort is the hospital’s largest service area with 180 volunteers covering 3,165 shifts last year. l The average age of LMH volunteers is 36; the youngest is 14 and the oldest is 93.

l 24 percent of LMH volunteers are over 60 years of age. l 71 percent of LMH volunteers are women; 29 percent are men.

At the 59th annual meeting of the LMH Auxiliary on April 11, awards were presented to volunteers for their years and hours of service. Volunteers with top hours in 2015 were Dianna Nelson with more than 900 volunteer hours, Michael Bottom with more than 600 hours, and Beverly Bartscher and Kristine Furlought, each with

more than 500 volunteer hours. Julie Hack was recognized as a 25-year pin recipient.

In addition, Marian Wilbur and Alan Fisher were honored as the Marguerite Lockwood Volunteers of the Year, and Eric Wang was named the Ryan Kanost Student Volunteer of the Year.

The Auxiliary also honored LMH CEO Gene Meyer as he nears retirement, including making him an honorary volunteer, and surprised Allyson Leland, Please see LMH, page 2C

Mild flu season mostly over

Family, mental health system couldn’t help Kansas woman

By Joe Robertson Kansas City Star

Kansas City, Mo. — Mom was sick again. The 11-year-old boy riding with her in a cab bound for the Kansas City airport hoped somehow it wasn’t true.

How could this be? How was she getting plane tickets to California? How could they really be going to Disneyland, completely out of the blue?

She had pulled him and his little brother out of summer Cub Scout camp for

this. He wanted it to be real.

It’s real, she assured him, her face lit in irrational joy. Martin Riggs was taking them.

Martin Riggs?

He knew that was Mel Gibson’s character in “Lethal Weapon.”

But he’s a cop in a movie, Mom! In that moment, the wedge young Paul Kavanaugh had braced between himself and his mother’s ailing mental health was crumbling.

He was awakening to the powerlessness already

felt by his dad and his mom’s two older sisters.

Over the next 20 years, they saw, like so many other families, how a community and its mental health services cannot save someone who fights those who would help her.

They watched her care suffer for shortages of case managers and doctors.

They tangled with health care systems and their strict interpretations of HIPAA, the medical privacy law.

New York (ap) — Flu season is winding down, and it’s been a relatively mild one.

It’s not over — flu is still widespread in 14 states, mostly in the Northeast.

But health officials on Friday said the season peaked in early March and reports of flu are steadily declining.

This season is in stark contrast to the last three, when illnesses peaked by late December.

In each of those seasons — considered moderate to severe — more than 100 children died of the flu. So far this season, there have been 56 child flu deaths.

This season was dominated by a milder flu strain that’s been around for years. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials say the flu vaccine was a good match.

Woman CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

They couldn’t force her into treatment when she needed it until she was, by law, a verifiable and imminent threat to herself or others — which was too late to keep people from getting hurt.

The end, most painful of all, came early this year.

Melinda Kavanaugh, her physical health failing through years of medications, had shut her family out, barricading herself alone in a small rented house set amid the suburban clamor of apartment buildings and businesses just off Nieman Road in Shawnee.

Her sister Susan Blankenship couldn’t abide the hamstrung mental health services anymore and sent urgent pleas for help to multiple levels of agencies, all the way up to the governor’s office.

“Melinda is absolutely at the mercy of the State of Kansas,” she wrote in one letter.

But when police finally forced their way into the home on a cold January day, they found a body that had lain on the kitchen floor probably three weeks — Melinda, dead at 56.

Paul’s favorite picture of his mother is undated, maybe from the early 1980s. She looks to be in her early 20s, maybe even still a teenager. Swoops of rich brown hair frame her face.

“I hear these stories about her before that night,” he said.

He means before she had her first psychotic break while she was a sophomore at Kansas University, before anyone knew anything at all of what was coming.

She had been a brilliant student, Susan said of her youngest sister. “A golden child.”

“I’ve heard how she was a cheerleader,” Paul said. “And how she was so bright. And then all of a sudden this pops up in the night.”

He is an artist, seeing life in images. He wants to remember her, but for so long the closest he’d gotten to it all is his own turbulent self-portrait, showing starkly shadowed arms framing a downcast face.

“My whole life, it’s been crazy,” he said.

Susan is an artist, too.

The collage and painting she has shaped since Melinda’s death wrestles with grief, anger and torment.

Two blue fists grip steel bars out of the faceless dark of a prison cell.

The image splits the two halves of a human brain — one side gilded and alive, the other half ashen

and splintered.

A turbulent galaxy of torn paper surrounds it all, some shreds with blood red edges, but others gathering at the yellow glow in the far corner — the light where Susan hopes her sister now rests.

“I thought it would be cathartic,” Susan said.

“But it’s made it harder. It tells me I’m still thinking about her. I haven’t come to terms with it.”

The idea still presses on Paul: “It seems something could have been done.”

His own search began as that 11-year-old, after the fanciful dream of Disneyland.

His mother had schizophrenia, he was told. He read about symptoms and medications.

His dad had told the boys before, when Mom would burst out with anger or odd behavior, that he and Mom could handle it — that she sometimes just needed medicine.

But it wasn’t true. Like so many other families tending to a member with severe illness, they could not help her, nor could the mental health services they increasingly called on as she began to shun her medications.

After the first few years with the illness, she never went to a hospital or clinic voluntarily, said Stephen Kavanaugh, Paul’s father, who was married to Melinda for 20 years.

“You can’t just show up at a mental health facility and say, ‘She’s going off,’” Stephen said. “When you need a doctor, you can’t get a doctor. You’re stuck.

You can’t do a thing.”

When she did go, law enforcement helped. She also for several stretches received help from case managers through the Johnson County Mental Health Center.

The help would work for a while, Susan said.

The caseworkers were good for her. But they are overloaded with cases — an experience many families on both sides of the state line have shared with The Star. And there is high turnover.

“As soon as you move off their grid, when you’re not answering the phone or answering the door, then nothing can be done,” Susan said.

Stephen said he kept hoping Melinda would be aware of what she needed to do to stay healthy.

“But (her) mental illness didn’t allow that to happen,” he said. “My wishing for it didn’t matter.

“She got to the point that she did not want any doctor. She was done with the system.”

The worst break came during Paul’s early high school years. She disappeared to California, then returned unexpectedly at her parents’ house on

Father’s Day, 2002, convinced for no rational reason that her parents were evil.

She came with duct tape and bound her mother, who either was pushed or fell down the stairs. Melinda then met the criteria of a verifiable and imminent danger, and she would be courtordered to the state hospital at Osawatomie.

There were many times over the years, when things were good, when Melinda was taking care of herself, that “she was very sweet when she wanted to be,” Paul said.

But she seemed so far from that when he was 16, crying in a Johnson County courtroom, listening to his mother rant at the judge.

He retreated into his art at home and at school.

Friends, he said, would ask him, “Aren’t there things you can do?”

No, he told them.

“They can try some new concoction of pills,” he said, but no, “they don’t have any answers.”

Tim DeWeese’s spreadsheet at Johnson County Mental Health Center produces a tumbling budget line.

State revenue from grants and contracts has fallen 30 percent over the past 10 years, the center director’s numbers show.

The drop in annual revenue from $4.95 million to $3.51 million comes as the population of the county it serves has been growing by some 8,000 residents a year.

The center has cut its staff by nearly a quarter in the past three years, he said. Caseloads that were 15 to 18 each are now 25 to 28 per manager.

The cuts hurt families, DeWeese said. Families on both sides of the state line seeking help for someone who is slipping back into crisis say they often learn that a familiar case manager is gone or the patient has been dropped from the caseload.

“We are put in that dilemma on a regular basis,” he said. “We’ve got so many coming in the front door that some have to go out the back door.

We have to focus on the individuals who have the most disabling kinds of conditions.”

And even under rosier circumstances, the work of helping people with severe mental illness is hard, said Robbie Phillips, director of assertive community outreach for Truman Medical Centers Behavioral Health, which serves much of Jackson County.

It’s a skilled, demanding job requiring professional relationships, he said, but it typically pays in the $30,000s. So turnover often is high.

And mental health care

professionals face the same barrier as family members — often trying to encourage treatment they can’t force on the person.

Sometimes clients do not want their information shared with anyone, including family.

“What we wholeheartedly believe is that people with mental illness have the ability to determine their care,” Phillips said.

“I don’t know that there is an easy solution out there. (Family members) can call us and we will respond. We can try to mediate, but often that’s all we can do.”

Mental Illness Policy Org, in New York, wants changes in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act to give doctors and mental health care providers more discretion in sharing information.

Too many providers default to providing no information, the group says. DeWeese calls it throwing up a shield.

An adult might land in a psychiatric ward and the hospital can’t tell anyone the person is there. Or a person may be released and family members not know about it, or have no information to help with follow-up care.

Families can try, preemptively, to arrange a HIPAA release or prepare a durable power of attorney for health care purposes with their family member.

But that can be hard too, estate planning lawyer Kirsten Schroeder Larsen said.

“It is very hard for people to give up control, even if intellectually they know the time may come that they need it,” she said.

Ideally, such releases can be arranged between parents and as the child is turning 18 — to prepare for any unexpected health crisis that could come, she said.

When it is too far along, as with Melinda, where no cooperation is possible, the alternative is seeking guardianship.

It is an expensive, potentially combative route, the lawyer said.

Sometimes, said Kiersten Adkins at Pathway to Hope in Olathe, families need to accept a new state of grace.

There are fights to wage for rights and stronger institutional and community support for mental health, she said. But parents, like herself, and other family members of an adult with mental illness need to be able to shed some of the responsibility for their child’s happiness.

“You have to have the grace to allow your child to be where they’re at,” she said. “It’s not mine to learn how to fix. It’s mine to learn to live with.”

director of volunteer services, with recognition of her 25 years of volunteer leadership. In 2015 the LMH Auxiliary again received the Hospital Auxiliaries of Kansas Gold Award of Excellence.

LMH Auxiliary President Bob Bechtel said: “The heart and soul of the volunteer program lies in the individual volunteer in each of the departments where they serve.”

Bechtel noted that in addition to being Auxiliary President, he volunteers in the Oncology Center, the fourth biggest volunteer-utilizing department in the hospital.

Last year, 42 volunteers worked 1,408 shifts for a total of 5,200 hours in Oncology.

Jyl Haynes, one of the nurses in oncology, said: “Our volunteers keep coming back every week to keep us cleaned, serviced, greeted, comforted, and generally running smoothly down here in oncology.

They truly do keep our wheels on in so many ways, and we are daily indebted to their kindness and energetic help.”

In addition to volunteering their time, LMH auxiliary members raise funds through jewelry, uniform and book sales to help support $1,000 scholarships to area high school students pursuing health care careers, renewable for four years.

wasn’t my choice to make,” she said. “The next best one I could make was to let somebody else use them, because they weren’t going to do him any good.”

This is why Hull believes it’s important to have these discussions early.

“I just think you have to have pre-knowledge and pre-thinking about it or you just can’t make that decision after all that stress,” she said.

There are countless similar stories of donors and

ship funding.

In 2015, merchandise sales at the gift shop and Mario’s Closet totaled $403,175, with proceeds after expenses being reinvested in contributions to the hospital. For each of the past three years, the Auxiliary made $65,000 in gifts to the hospital, including supporting the acquisition of new hospital beds and equipment for surgery, oncology and the laboratory; purchasing wigs and prosthetics for women who can’t afford them; and the renovation of the hospital’s fourth floor.

This year the auxiliary is making the first installment of a fiveyear pledge of $250,000 toward the Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Cardiovascular Services initiative.

Accomplishments of 2015 included volunteer services implementing new scheduling software that allows more than 300 student volunteers a semester to self-schedule in 14 different areas. Volunteer services also adopted and transitioned to a new online volunteer background check process, which not only offered additional security precautions for patients but also reduced staff time for data entry.

Is ‘Night Manager’ the new Bond?

Is Jonathan Pine the new James Bond? Tom Hiddleston stars as the impossibly goodlooking and seductively charming former soldier in the miniseries “The Night Manager” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14), returning for its second of six episodes.

James Bond is a pop culture addiction we just can’t quit. Impossibly retro, mid-century, Cold War and sexist, the 007 character just won’t go away. At the same time, every new reincarnation of the spy with a license to kill seems somehow unsatisfactory, a reminder of how far the franchise has strayed from the archetype. It’s a paradox. Every new “Bond” is a disappointment. That’s why we can’t wait for the next one.

Even as Bond has survived, he has spawned countless imitations. In our own century, we’ve seen Jack Bauer on “24,” any number of “Bourne” identities and even Quinn (Rupert Friend), Carrie Mathison’s frequent savior and protector on “Homeland.”

“Manager” may remind Bond fans of that franchise before it became too besotted with constant motion and endless explosions.

There’s a calm at the center of Pine’s mysterious character that makes him intriguing to both viewers and to his love interests.

The fact that he attracts women who “belong” to other men says a lot. Pine doesn’t have to break the rules. His lovers put themselves in jeopardy just to be with him. How “Bond” is that?

Just as Bond had his M, Pine has Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), a renegade spymaster out to get the villainous Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) no matter the cost to her reputation in British spydom, the fate of her marriage or even the health of her unborn child.

“Manager” deviates from “Bond” in casting Hugh Laurie as the arms-dealing heavy. He’s an amoral monster, described by one victim as “the worst person in the world.” But just as he did on “House,” Laurie has a way of infusing a thoroughly unlikable man with surprising charm.

“Manager” is not without action, violence, explosions and shocks. And we’ll even see a game of baccarat at a posh casino before its six episodes conclude.

But much as with its central character, there’s a stillness at the center of the story that gives viewers a chance to think. Or at least gawk at the gorgeous scenery and people.

Tonight’s other highlights O Viewers send two singers home on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O A strike against the Hive on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (8 p.m., ABC).

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Transfer target

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Three years ago, the idea of the Kansas University men’s golf team heading to the Big 12 Championship hoping to topple the No. 1 team in the nation seemed ludicrous.

Today, with the conference tourney set to begin Friday and No. 1 Texas looming, that is absolutely the Jayhawks’ goal.

“We’re not going down there for second, I Welle know that,” said fourthyear KU coach Jamie Bermel.

“And who knows?

I like the way we’re playing. I like the guys on the Peck team. We’re experienced.

I think this course fits us pretty well, and we just need to keep our head down and worry Hanna about what we’re doing and not anybody else.”

Seeded sixth headed into this weekend’s event at Whispering Pines Golf Course in Trinity, Texas, the Jayhawks carry themselves more like a top-tier contender.

Winners of four events this season — including a two-time individual winner in senior Ben Welle — the Jayhawks always believed getting to this point was possible, even when Bermel first arrived in Lawrence and simply was looking to repair the divots left by the previous couple of seasons.

“When they came in, we were not in very good shape, and that was kind of the sales pitch: ‘You have a chance to play right away,’” said Bermel of his recruiting message to seniors Welle and Connor Peck and junior Chase Hanna.

Hanna has played in every event since becoming a Jayhawk. Welle has missed just one tournament during his four years. And Peck, who has been as hot as anyone in the Big 12 this spring, has missed just a couple.

“We’ve had three guys play for three years, and they bring a lot of experience,” Bermel said. “That’s almost 40 collegiate events they’ve played. This day and age, you don’t always get that.”

Backed by promising sophomore Dan Hudson and strong freshman Charlie Hillier, the Jayhawks have had one of the best springs in recent memory.

That kind of reliable depth and quality experience has put the Jayhawks in position to compete in the alwayselite Big 12 Conference and on the brink of qualifying for an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2007.

“Win four times. A couple individual wins. Five guys are academic All-Big 12.

That’s a good foundation to build on,” Bermel said recapping this season’s long

DUKE’S DERRYCK THORNTON (12) IS GUARDED by North Carolina’s Nate Britt during the Tar Heels’ 76-72 victory on March 5 in Durham, N.C.

Ex-Duke guard Thornton to visit KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The recruitment of former Duke University basketball point guard Derryck Thornton is about to get serious.

Thornton, a 6-2 freshman who recently announced plans to leave the Durham, N.C., school after one season, announced Monday he will visit USC this weekend, then Kansas University a week from today. He also plans to make trips to Washington and Miami before settling on his transfer destination.

Thornton must sit out one season in accordance with NCAA rules. The timing of that would be ideal at KU, considering the Jayhawks need perimeter help in 201718 following the departure of Frank Mason III, who will have graduated, and possibly Devonté Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk, who could turn pro after their junior years.

Also, Josh Jackson is expected to be a one-and-done player.

Even if Graham stayed a final season, minutes would not appear to be a problem

for Thornton, who would join Graham and Lagerald Vick in the backcourt. KU wants to sign perimeter players Michael Porter (6-8 small forward) and Trae Young (6-1 Norman, Okla., combo guard), who this fall will begin their senior seasons of high school.

Originally from Chatsworth, Calif., Thornton — who played two years of high school ball at Findlay Prep in Nevada — averaged 7.1 points and 2.6 assists while logging 26 minutes a game in Duke’s 36 games. He hit 39 percent of his shots, including 32.5 percent of his threes and 69 percent of his free throws.

He had 93 assists versus 59 turnovers with 27 steals.

USC has been listed as a strong possibility for Thornton, who in announcing plans to transfer said he wanted to play closer to home. Thornton was ranked No. 14 nationally by Rivals.com his junior year at Las Vegas Findlay Prep, where he averaged 17.0 points and 6.2 assists.

He elected to reclassify last summer and play for Duke, which needed immediate

point-guard help. Because he had repeated the third grade, Thornton entered Duke at the age of 18.

Of USC, Thornton told Scout.com: “I love their style of play. Andy Enfield (coach) worked in the NBA, Jason Hart (assistant) played in the NBA at my position and Tony Bland (assistant) has been a friend of my family for a long time.”

Of Miami, he told Scout: “Coach (Jim) Larranaga and his staff are top notch.

They’ve done great with transfer point guards, from Shane Larkin to Angel Rodriguez, so I’m comfortable with what they do. Also their style of play is amazing.”

Of Washington, he said: “Lorenzo Romar has been recruiting me since the 9th grade. He’s always given tremendous freedom to his guards and that’s why he has so many guards in the NBA. Also I love coach Romar and (assistant) Raphael Chillious as people.”

And of KU, he told Scout: “Kansas has a terrific tradition and Bill Self runs

a great program. I have a great relationship with Kurtis Townsend. They win the Big 12 every year and I know they’re going to be in the national championship hunt.” l

Topeka freshman nets KU offer: Zach Harvey, a 6-4 freshman combo guard out of Topeka Hayden, has received a scholarship offer from KU, Harvey reported Monday on Twitter.

“Blessed to receive an offer from Kansas University #RCJH #KUCMB,” Tweeted Harvey. Kansas State and Creighton have also offered, and he has received early interest from Wichita State, North Carolina, Maryland, Oklahoma and others.

Harvey averaged 12.0 points a game his freshman season at Hayden.

“You can’t really put it into words because growing up people used to make jokes and ask, ‘Zach, where are you going to college?’ and I would say, ‘I’m going to KU,’” Harvey told Topekahoops.com.

Pierce in unfamiliar role

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Ross D. Franklin/AP Photo

THE CLIPPERS’ PAUL PIERCE WARMS UP prior to Please see GOLF, page 3D a game against the Suns on April 13 in Phoenix.

Through the years, NBA veteran Paul Pierce made a name for himself by coming through in the playoffs.

In the 2008 postseason alone, the former Kansas University star scored 20plus points 11 times. Pierce went for 41 points in a seriesclinching victory over LeBron James and Cleveland, scored 27 points in the decisive game of the Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit and went on to be named NBA Finals MVP, as Boston defeated the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now in his 18th season, with 159 playoff games behind him, the cagey small for-

ward known as “The Truth” went through a whole new postseason experience in the L.A. Clippers’ Game 2 victory over Portland. For the first time in his illustrious career, Pierce watched an NBA playoff game from the bench and never checked in.

It almost seems impossible for a player of Pierce’s stature. He has averaged 19.8 points in the playoffs for his career — Pierce even scored 14.6 a game for Washington a year ago. Still, next to his name in the box score it read: DNP-Coach’s Decision.

This came three days after Pierce played just 11 minutes, made one of two shots and had an assist in a Game 1 win.

The 38-year-old future hall-of-famer spoke about

the unprecedented move with Chris Mannix, (for Yahoo’s NBA site).

“It is what it is. It’s difficult,” Pierce said. “As a competitor, you want to compete and help your team win. A close game — I’ve been in those situations lots of times.

When you have competed at a high level, it’s difficult.”

Clippers coach Doc Rivers, who coached Pierce with the Celtics and is well aware of the aging small forward’s ability to come through in the clutch, said he almost subbed Pierce in against the in Game 2.

With more than 47,000 minutes on his NBA odometer, no one would expect him to start and come out and score 30 points.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

Byron Scott is a good man, a loyal soldier, and in two years he did exactly what his bosses hired him to do.

But the minute Kobe Bryant walked out of Staples Center for the last time, Scott’s services were no longer needed, his job essentially ceased to exist, he became an instant antique.

The Lakers really had no choice but to fire him, which they did on Sunday in a move that should come with a thankyou note.

They needed someone to guide the team through the turbulent end of the Bryant era, and Scott did exactly that.

Charged with helping Bryant bask in the glory that the Buss family felt he deserved, Scott help facilitate one of the most memorable farewell tours in sports history, ending with arguably the most memorable final game of any NBA legend ever.

They also needed someone to indoctrinate members of the next generation of Laker stars — Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and D’Angelo Russell — into the daily grind of NBA life. Bryant wasn’t emotionally available for that, there were no other strong veteran presences in the locker room, so Scott needed to play the bad guy, and he did it often and well. He was ripped repeatedly by fans and media for benching and publicly scolding the kids, right up until Russell was busted for videotaping private conversations with Nick Young in a record-setting act of immaturity.

Scott was hired to say goodbye to Bryant, and to rudely greet the future, and … to win?

Seriously? Winning realistically was never part of the deal, and Lakers management even admitted as much earlier this season. It was decided that the team was going to cling to Bryant’s fading glow for as long as it lasted, celebrate that glow, bask in that glow, and everything else was shadows.

Scott could never win out of those shadows. He never had a chance. He repeatedly bit the bullet for the organization because he knew he never had a chance. He never admitted it, but he knew. It became easier to fire him because he not only lost, he lost at an astonishing pace, with an amazingly bad 38126 record during two seasons, including supervising the two worst Lakers seasons in the franchise’s 68-year history. But make so mistake, he was losing because he was doing exactly what he was supposed to do.

What did the Lakers expect?

If they wanted only to win, two years ago they would have hired someone from outside the Lakers family who would not have flinched at benching Bryant for long stretches while he was statistically the worst player in the NBA. They would have hired someone who would have devised the entire offense around the three kids and played them big minutes and let them run the show without any concern for monitoring growing pains.

That’s not what they wanted. The old-school Scott was what they wanted. A buddy to Bryant and an unwavering tough guy with everyone else was what they wanted, and that’s what they got.

Now they’ve fired him for it, and, strangely, it all makes sense.

This new world needs a new leader, and it couldn’t be Byron Scott.

He did his job, he lost his job. No apologies, no blame, era ended.

BRIEFLY NFL

Court rules Brady must serve penalty New York — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game “Deflategate” suspension imposed by the NFL, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, overturning a lower judge and siding with the league in a battle with the players union.

A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that Commissioner Roger Goodell did not deprive Brady of “fundamental fairness” with his procedural rulings. The split decision may end the legal debate over the scandal that led to months of football fans arguing over air pressure and the reputation of one of the league’s top teams.

It also fuels a fresh round of debate over what role, if any, the quarterback and top NFL star played in using underinflated footballs at the AFC championship game in January 2015. The

Patriots won the contest over the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7, and then won the Super Bowl.

The ruling can be appealed to the full 2nd Circuit or to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it would likely be a steep and time-consuming climb even if the courts took the unusual step to consider it.

“For it to become a reality as an option it is just kind of breathtaking. It’s a dream really.”

“I was surprised honestly,” Harvey told topekahoops.com. “I didn’t see it coming for sure. …

Curry has sprained knee Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Stephen Curry could miss two weeks of the playoffs due to the right knee sprain he suffered in Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Sunday, according to the Warriors.

An MRI exam conducted Monday revealed a Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament that is considered to be mild. No mechanical or stability issues with the knee were discovered, and no surgery would be needed, according to Warriors general manager Bob Myers.

It was “relatively good news” to Myers, who even left open the possibility the reigning MVP could return sooner than the next scheduled reevaluation in two weeks.

Myers said historically with a Grade 1 MCL sprain it would take a player in the range of two to three weeks to return to basketball activities.

“We took to be honest an educated guess because it’s unclear as to whether a player’s ready in two weeks or three or later or sooner,” Myers said.

“That’s no guarantee that will be in two weeks. It might be after two weeks, it might be before. But I think it’ll be somewhere in that range hopefully.”

Track and field athlete Rhavean Anderson presented the senior address.

“The same way that construction on campus has not changed the fact that this is the University of Kansas, the changes we will face as we disperse to pursue careers, have families, and chase our dreams will not change the fact that we will always, and forever be Jayhawks,” Anderson said.

Angels dump Kennedy, KC Anaheim, Calif. (ap) — Albert Pujols hit two homers, and Mike Trout added another, powering the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.

Garrett Richards (1-3) pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning of his first win of the season, while the Angels’ struggling offense awoke with a three-run first inning followed by homers from its two biggest stars.

Pujols connected on solo shots in the third and fifth innings against Ian Kennedy (2-2). The homers were the 564th and 565th of Pujols’ career, moving him out of a tie with Reggie Jackson and into sole possession of 13th place on baseball’s career list.

Trout added a solo shot in the seventh, his fourth homer of the season.

Salvador Perez drove in the Royals’ only run.

Eric Hosmer extended his hitting streak to 15 games for the Royals, who opened a six-game West Coast trip with just their second loss in their last 12 meetings with the Angels, including the 2014 AL division series.

Pujols has shaken his dismal start to the season with three homers in two games. The $240 mil-

list of accomplishments thus far.

Beyond that, fielding a solid roster from top to bottom has put Bermel in position to make a different pitch to the recruits he visits these days.

“Guys coming in now, (they know) it’s gonna be pretty tough to break the lineup,” Bermel said.

“But on the other side of the coin, they see the success we’ve had, and I think they want to be a part of that, too. ... Honestly, I think the guys we’re bringing in next year are more talented than the guys we brought in this year or the year before, so I think we’re pointed in the right direction.”

After a full week off, which Bermel said gave his golfers a chance to rest their bodies and minds as well as focus on finishing strong in the classroom, the Jayhawks spent the early part of the week fine-tuning their games in preparation for a Wednesday departure

Dating back to last fall, Kansas finished in the top five at nine events this season and never finished lower than eighth: • Sept 12-13 — Rod Myers Invitational — 5th • Sept. 21-22 — Ram Masters Invitational — 2nd • Sept. 27-29 — Badger Invitational — 1st • Oct. 12-13 — Bayou City Collegiate Championship — 3rd • Oct. 23-25 — Price’s Give ’Em Five Invitational — 1st • Nov. 6-8 — Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic — 6th • Feb. 19-21 — Desert Intercollegiate — 1st • Feb. 29-March 1 — Louisiana Classics Invitational — 2nd • March 18-19 — Desert Shootout — 2nd • April 3-5 — Hootie At Bulls Bay Intercollegiate — 8th • April 16-17 — Great River Entertainment Invitational — 1st

Top individual finishes

The Jayhawks also had 10 individual top-five finishes this season: • Ben Welle, 1st — Ram Masters • Chase Hanna and Dan Hudson, T-3rd — Badger Invitational • Ben Welle, 3rd — Bayou City Collegiate Championship • Ben Welle, 2nd — Price’s Give ’Em Five Invitational • Charlie Hillier, T-3rd — Desert Intercollegiate • Ben Welle, 1st — Louisiana Classics Invitational • Connor Peck, 5th — Desert Shootout • Charlie Hillier, T-3rd — Hootie At Bulls Bay Intercollegiate • Dan Hudson, 4th — Great River Entertainment Invitational before teeing it up at the main event Friday.

Kansas will be paired with No. 5 seed Texas Tech in the 72-hole event, with Texas seeded first, Oklahoma State second, Oklahoma third and Baylor fourth.

“Three years ago, we got kicked around pretty good,” Bermel said. “But I think those days are past us. We’re certainly making the progress that we need to make, and I think more good things are ahead.”

BRIEFLY Flynn paces FSHS Two KU women at T-West golf qualify for NCAA Topeka — Free State High’s Jack Flynn shot a 3-over-par 75 to place sixth overall to lead all city entrants in the Topeka West Golf Invitational on Monday at Topeka Country Club.

Free State and Lawrence High each shot a team score of 321, but FSHS earned sixth and LHS seventh based on the tiebreaker.

Free State’s other scores: Jack Jung, 12th, 78; Will Cook, 41st, 83; Tate Steele, 50th, 85; and Landon Berquist, 60th, 86.

For LHS, Garrett Wildeman was 21st with 79; Braxton Olson was 22nd with a 79; Dawson Dykes, 25th, 80; Cole Brungardt, 40th, 83; and Ross Brungardt, 75th, 89.

Washburn Rural won the team title with a 308, and Manhattan’s Cole Gritton was individual medalist with a 68.

Kansas women’s golfers Yupaporn “Mook” Kawinpakorn and Pornvipa “Faii” Sakdee have been selected to compete as individuals in the 2016 NCAA Regional at Shoal Creek Club in Shoal Creek, Ala., May 5-7.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Tigers flip out, end skid Freeman. Robbie Ross Jr. stranded runners on first and third by striking out pinch-hitter Erick Aybar to end the inning.

The Associated Press

American League Tigers 7, Athletics 3 Detroit — Tyler Collins directed an obscene gesture at the home fans just before Jordan Zimmermann ended his scoreless innings streak, but Miguel Cabrera homered twice, and Detroit snapped a skid with a victory over Oakland on Monday night.

Zimmermann (4-0) gave up a run for the first time with the Tigers following 241⁄3 scoreless innings, and Collins seemed to take the brunt of the blame from fans.

Collins extended the middle finger on his left hand and waved it from right to left and also appeared to yell an obscenity to the booing crowd.

He lost a flyball from Oakland’s Marcus Semien in the lights, and an error charged to left fielder Justin Upton allowed Semien to reach third. Semien scored after Billy Burns, the next batter, hit a single to end Zimmermann’s unblemished start.

Yankees 3, Rangers 1 Arlington, Texas — Nathan Eovaldi lost his no-hit bid in the seventh inning but pitched into the eighth for New York without allowing a run in a series-opening win at Texas.

The Rangers were without a hit until rookie Nomar Mazara, a day before his 21st birthday, led off the seventh with a clean single through the left side of the infield.

After Mazara was wiped out by a double play, Prince Fielder swung at a high pitch for a double to right-center before Ian Desmond grounded out to end the inning.

DALLAS FORWARD DIRK NOWITZKI, CENTER, TRIES TO GO UP FOR A BASKET as Oklahoma City centers Enes Kanter, left, and Steven Adams defend during the Thunder’s 118-104 victory on Monday in Oklahoma City. The Thunder won the series, 4-1.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Thunder eliminate Mavs; Hornets, Heat tied at 2-2 The Associated Press

Thunder 118, Mavericks 104 Oklahoma City — Playing the game Thunder style — poison for the Mavericks anytime they tried it — turned out to be lethal one last time Monday night.

Getting caught in a fast and furious pace, the Mavericks pushed Oklahoma City hard, but once again got run down by superior manpower as the Thunder ran away with a victory and a 4-1 victory in the best-of-seven firstround series.

And so, the Mavericks failed to get past the first round for the fifth season in a row since winning the championship in 2011.

Russell Westbrook, who was called an AllStar, but not a superstar,

by Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban before the game, certainly looked like a superstar with 36 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

The Thunder were 18-0 when Westbrook had a triple-double during the regular season. He just missed it on Monday.

The Thunder also got 33 points from Kevin Durant.

The Mavericks poured out their heart, soul and sweat for 48 minutes.

But in the end, too many injuries and too much Westbrook and Durant doomed them.

“The one thing I will say: Any Mavericks player who walks on the court has just laid it all out,” Cuban said before the game.

“There’s nobody that we look at and say: He could have played harder.

“Blood, sweat and tears, this is a gutty group that I’m proud of. Everybody leaves it all on the court. Nobody quits before the final buzzer.

There’s so much heart from these guys that I’m proud of them and as an organization, we’re proud of our guys.”

Cuban, of course, was confident about his team going into the series, even with a slew of injuries. Asked how much that derailed his team, he said: “That’s life in the big city.”

Indeed, nobody’s going to feel sorry for anybody in the NBA. As short-handed as the Mavericks were — down to 10 healthy bodies by game time and playing only eight — they

had the Thunder sweating throughout. They got 24 points from Dirk Nowitzki and had five other players in double figures. They simply weren’t strong enough long enough to keep up with the Thunder, who won the final three games of the series after losing Game 2 at home 85-84.

As it turns out, that was the only game played to the Mavericks’ preferred tempo — slow, slower, slowest.

While the Mavericks were fighting from behind from the get-go, they never were down by more than 14 points, which came late in the third quarter after threepointers by Westbrook and Dion Waiters.

Still, the Mavericks refused to wilt. With Justin Anderson and Dwight Powell playing big, the Mavericks chewed into the lead and when Nowitzki got loose for a layup with 7:52 to go, they were only down 101-98.

Then, Westbrook happened.

Even after Cuban’s comments pregame, Westbrook certainly came up superstar-like when he scored six consecutive points to stretch the OKC lead to 107-98.

The desperation kicked in for the Mavericks as they got a Nowitzki threepointer to make it 107-103, but Andre Roberson came up with a monster play when he collected the rebound from Westbrook’s long three-pointer and nudged the ball back in.

After Nowitzki missed a fadeaway, the Thunder picked off two offensive rebounds and finally got Durant’s three-point play for a 112-103 lead with 2:49 showing.

Hornets 89, Heat 85 Charlotte, N.C. — Kemba Walker scored a playoff career-high 34 points, Jeremy Lin added 21, and Charlotte beat Miami to even their firstround series at 2-2.

Walker scored 11 straight Charlotte points in the fourth quarter after Miami had cut the lead to two with 6:07 left. Courtney Lee sank two free throws with 4.6 seconds left after being fouled on an offensive rebound to seal the win.

Lee finished with 11 points and helped hold Dwyane Wade to 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting.

“We fought so hard tonight,” Lin said. “Up 18, and then all of a sudden up one. We put everything out there, and I’m glad we got the win.”

Game 5 is Wednesday night in Miami.

Joe Johnson led Miami with 16 points, while Luol Deng had 15.

Charlotte dominated in the paint for the second straight game, outscoring Miami 44-30.

Miami pulled to 7675 when Gerald Green knocked down a threepointer from the left wing midway through the final quarter.

Walker took over from there.

The runner-up for the league’s Most Improved Player buried a pull-up jumper from 18 feet and sank both foul shots after drawing a fourth foul on Wade on a drive. Walker made a three-pointer from the left wing, added a floater in the lane and another pull-up jumper to push the lead to 87-80.

The Heat kept battling back, though, with Wade’s jumper and a free throw by Hassan Whiteside cutting it to two.

squandered their last possession, but Walker threw up a deep three-pointer to beat the shot clock that hit the front rim. Lee was fouled on the rebound and swished both shots with 4.6 seconds left to make it a two-possession game.
