City to consider naming rights for parks, other facilities

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

Getting the name of a private citizen or business on City of Lawrence property could soon be done with the signing of a check.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has a lot of assets to maintain — recreation centers, swimming pools and even a golf course — and a proposed sponsorship policy that would usher in some

new ways of paying the bills.

City Manager Tom Markus said sponsorships can help support operating and maintenance costs, such as replacing playground equipment,

exercise machines or gym floors, that cities don’t always keep in mind when they decide to build facilities.

“Actually keeping the facility up to date and keeping it attractive for

the user, there is a cost associated with that,” Markus said. “People tend to put the facilities in and then they forget about them.”

Privately owned hall, once luxurious, now aims for affordability

hen it opened in 1966, Naismith Hall was billed as “luxurious living.”

And it had a price tag to match.

“The unique design of this building will allow a maximum of study, living and recreational space — all with the greatest amount of individual privacy,” a 1965 Lawrence Daily JournalWorld advertisement said. A room plus three meals per day cost $547.50 a semester, almost $200 more than a University of Kansas residence hall at the time, according to a 1966 article.

The adjacent on-campus housing scene has changed a lot since then.

Naismith, a 504-bed, 10-story tower located just off campus at 1800 Naismith Drive, is the only privately owned and operated residence hall in town.

Public, private high schools spar over sports classifications

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — As if the politics of deciding tax and budget issues weren’t tough enough, Kansas lawmakers may be asked this year to act as referee in another policy area, the cutthroat competition of high school athletics.

Specifically, coaches and athletics directors of medium-sized high schools say they’re growing weary of seeing state championship trophies going year after year to wealthy private schools

LAWRENCE • STATE

Naming CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The City Commission will decide the extent of those sponsorships.

Funds from sponsorships could support onetime programs, or go toward specific items. That could mean sponsors could show up on pavers, benches, park shelters, scoreboards, banners, and, potentially, be incorporated into the names of city parks or recreation centers.

However, some local leaders are hesitant. Mayor Leslie Soden said she is opposed to taking sponsorship as far as naming rights or even permanent banners for parks and facilities.

“I don’t think that the bigger exterior type of signs, the more permanent ones, are appropriate,” Soden said. “It just looks like we put our city up for auction.”

A draft of the new sponsorship policy outlines how the city could solicit donations from residents and business to back Parks and Recreation Department programs and facilities, and a public meeting will be held Monday to get community input.

Once input is gathered, city commissioners will review, amend and approve the policy.

Among other things, the policy will lay out which circumstances will require City Commission approval, as well as which facilities or programs, if any, will be barred from sponsorship or naming rights.

Drawing a line The Parks and Recreation Department maintains 54 parks, a citywide trail system, four recreation centers, two aquatic centers, a nature center, a golf course, and offers hundreds of programs, classes and camps annually.

Where a line would be drawn that prohibited certain facilities or services from sponsorships is yet to be determined.

The draft policy written by city staff includes a section for such prohibitions, but contains only the words “to be named,” so as to leave that part of the policy to city commissioners.

Commissioner Mike Amyx said he didn’t have a problem with smaller features such as park shelters or benches, but that he’s against changing the names of prominent parks in the city.

Sports CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In addition, its boys basketball team recently included a 7-foot, 213-pound player named Bol Bol, son of the late NBA star Manute Bol, who moved to Olathe after suffering career-ending injuries in a car crash in 2004.

Hines argues that the area within a 20-mile radius of Bishop Miege, located in Roeland Park, has a population of nearly 2 million people, and that Miege, with its highly regarded academic and athletic traditions, is free to choose from among the brightest and most talented students in that pool.

Public schools, by contrast, must accept any student who comes through the door, and they draw from a talent pool that is limited to their school district boundaries.

Hines said he is working with lawmakers to draft a bill to change a state law that currently says the Kansas State High School Activities Association may look

LAWRENCE RESIDENT AND UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR EMERITUS PO-LUNG YU performs stretching exercises on Friday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence. Lawrence city staff is working on a policy to address naming rights for parks and recreation facilities.

‘‘

I don’t want us to send the message that our facilities are for sale when it comes to large advertising. I don’t think that’s an appropriate message to send out.”

— Mayor Leslie Soden

“I wouldn’t be in favor of looking at any of our signature parks, of ever allowing that to happen,” Amyx said. “I think that would be absolutely wrong. I think those are just near and dear to the greatest majority of citizens in this community.”

Soden also said she is OK with program sponsorships and donations for smaller features, but that she is opposed to naming rights under any circumstances.

She said permanent and prominent naming sends the wrong message.

“I don’t want us to send the message that our facilities are for sale when it comes to large advertising,” Soden said.

“I don’t think that’s an appropriate message to send out.”

Soden said she thought other budgetary measure should be considered first.

“I think that if Parks and Rec is looking for that extreme of sponsorship, I think we really need to look at their budget and see what else we can do to help them fund their facilities and operations rather than selling off naming rights to buildings.”

Potential for conflict The intersection of private dollars and public services presents the potential for conflict, and the draft policy attempts to curtail conflicts of interest.

The draft requires

that donations must be for a specific facility or service, essentially avoiding unattached donations. The draft also states that the city won’t seek or accept sponsors that take positions inconsistent with city policies or positions, and that a sponsorship doesn’t constitute an endorsement by the city.

The importance of public trust is highlighted in the introduction to the policy, and one provision maintains that every offer of sponsorship should be evaluated for possible conflicts of interest. Soden said she thinks that section will be another that requires further consideration by the commission.

“That’s definitely something that I think that the policy is going to address,” Soden said.

Not unprecedented But it’s not to say the city is in completely uncharted territory. Markus pointed out that public universities have a long history of using donations and naming rights to fund facilities.

“You go out on different campuses and major buildings are named after major benefactors who have contributed millions for schools of business, schools of law, medical facilities, things like that,” Markus said.

In addition, some sponsorships in Lawrence are already underway, the most prominent

only at enrollment numbers when determining how a high school is classified.

If that restriction is removed, he said, KSHSAA could consider other options. One would be to apply a multiplier for private schools, adding as much as 30 percent to their enrollment figures, to push them into the next highest competition class.

But Hines said that has been used in other states, including Missouri, without much success. He said his preference would be to apply a “success factor.”

Under that, he said, any private school that finishes in the top eight of a class, meaning it qualified for the state tournament, three out of the last four years would be moved into the next higher class.

Mike Hukba, athletics director at Bishop Miege, said he would be willing

to accept that, but only if it applied to private and public schools alike. But he sharply disputed the implication that Bishop Miege, or any other private school in Kansas, is actively recruiting athletes or offering athletic scholarships, which is prohibited under KSHSAA rules.

“The only thing we recruit is students,” he said. “We do not recruit athletes, we recruit students. A lot of factors go into that. We act within the laws and regulations of the Kansas State High School (Activities) Association.”

Gary Musselman, KSHSAA executive director, said his organization is not taking sides on the issue, but he added that most private schools in Kansas use third-party contractors to review financial aid applications and make scholarship awards, specifically to avoid charges that they

by Lawrence Memorial Hospital at the city’s newest recreation center, Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

Last year, revenue from sponsorships and donations for the Parks and Recreation Department totaled about $115,000, which includes revenue from various ads in the department’s activities guide.

Amyx said he views sponsorships as a way to manage operational costs.

“As we look as the effects on our budget over time, I think that we’re going to be looking at ways to help with operational funds on various things, and maybe that’s the best way to look at sponsorship,” Amyx said.

Who makes the call?

As currently written, the policy dictates that a proposed sponsorship will require different levels of review and approval depending on the amount and length of the sponsorship.

At the top level is City Commission approval, which would be required for sponsorships that would generate $25,000 or more for the city or last for more than five years.

The city manager would have the authority to make sponsorship decisions up to five years and between $15,000 and $25,000 per year. All other sponsorship decisions would require at least the review of the Parks and Recreation Department director, but could be referred to the city manager.

As far as parameters for naming rights, Markus said he

are violating the rules.

KSHSAA is currently in the process of overhauling its classification system, including making new determinations about how many schools will be placed in each class and what the enrollment cutoffs will be.

Much of that has to do with the 4A class itself, where there is a wide disparity between the smallest and largest high school in the class.

The KSHSAA board of directors will vote on that plan in April, he said, and if it is approved there, it will go to a vote of the 354 high schools that are part of the organization.

There, it must be approved by majorities in at least four of the six competition classes.

Eric Nelson, athletics director at Bishop Seabury Academy in Lawrence, which competes in class 2A, said the proposals being discussed probably would not affect his teams.

“It’s mainly the larger classifications where the problem is,” he said. “At our level, I can’t think of anybody who’s dominating at the level of big schools like Miege.”

But Nelson said he

agreed that if any kind of multiplier or success factor is used to bump powerhouse schools into higher competition classes, it should apply uniformly to both public and private schools.

Kansas State Board of Education member Jim McNiece, of Wichita, said he is aware of the current efforts underway to change the system, and he was aware of the controversy over how private schools are classified since he was a principal in both public and private high schools.

Changes in store for library’s studio

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

The new year will bring a new manager and some other additions to the Lawrence Public Library’s Sound + Vision recording studio.

Ed Rose, who has been the studio’s manager for the last two years, recently left his position, and the library is in the process of hiring a replacement. The new manager will be brought on along with other additions to the studio, which is free and open to the public and located in the basement of the library, 707 Vermont St. Rose had made a name for himself in Lawrence as a recording engineer

prior to joining the library staff, first on a oneyear contract and then as a full-time staff member.

Although library leaders said they are sad to see Rose go, they said his expertise has helped with the success of the studio.

“He really allowed us

to move the studio toward realizing what we wanted it to be,” said library director Brad Allen.

About a year ago, Rose helped the library to design and rebuild its live audio recording room — taking advantage of final change orders from the

library’s recent renovation and a former storage area — to provide better acoustics and soundproofing, Allen said. In addition to improving recording quality, the change expanded the studio’s potential total area.

Allen said they soon hope to repurpose the vacated studio as a place for basic video recording. The library’s studio area already has rooms and software for video editing but no place to shoot footage.

“We have this room that’s not being used right now that we are trying to put a green screen and basic lighting systems,” Allen said.

Allen said another effort in the works is to make the studio more programmatic.

The report can be viewed on the county’s website, douglascountyks.org.

The Douglas County Food Policy Council and the Lawrence-Douglas County Sustainability Department secured a $53,600 federal grant in 2015 to pay for the report.

The report makes recommendations on how to improve farmers markets in the county overall. In addition, it makes recommendations specific to the Saturday downtown market and its associated Tuesday market at the Lawrence Public Library, as well as the Cottin’s Hardware Farmers Market, the Clinton Parkway Farmers Market and those in Eudora and Perry. Organizers of the Baldwin City market decided not to participate in the report.

At a Wednesday gathering at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, Flaccavento told farmers, market managers and vendors that the county had a robust base of about 1,800 customers who spent an estimated $810,000 annually at the sites.

The Saturday downtown location accounted for $677,000 of that spending. But, he said, that customer base amounted to less than 2 percent of the county’s population.

Also concerning, Flaccavento said, was that the growth at county farmers markets had leveled off in the last eight years. The county’s farmers markets recorded a 17 percent growth in vendors and 30 percent increase in sales from 2002 to 2007 but have been static since 2008, he said.

The flip side of those numbers was the opportunity to grow by attracting some of the 98 percent of consumers who don’t visit farmers markets, Flaccavento said.

One hindrance to growth identified in the report concerning the Saturday Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market, at 824 New Hampshire St., was its continued viability. The concern stems

L awrence J ournal -W orld

“

The reality is you can find just about everything at a farmers market that you can at a conventional grocery store; not only fresh produce but staples, eggs and meats. It’s a matter of getting people to recognize that.”

— Anthony Flaccavento, president of consulting firm SCALE Inc. from development on New Hampshire Street, which the report says is making the location “untenable.”

Amanda Cook, chair of the downtown market board, said the new multistory apartment complexes on New Hampshire did bring potential new customers to the Saturday market’s doorstep. Construction contractors and architects went out of their way to work with the market, but there were unavoidable construction-related concerns of dust and noise associated with the building of the apartments next door, as well as the loss of space because of required OSHA setbacks.

Aesthetically, the new development gives the market less of the open-air feel that customers enjoy, Cook said.

The new apartments have added to the ongoing problem of having to tow from one to five vehicles parked in the lot each Saturday morning, she said.

An existing problem unrelated to the new development is the absence of needed infrastructure at the downtown markets, Cook said. There is no electricity available beyond the generators and batteries vendors bring and no shelter from the sun, rain or wind, she said. The lack of electricity hinders the recruitment of vendors offering products that need to be refrigerated or frozen, she said — with no shelter during hot summer mornings, fresh leafy vegetables, flowers and vendors wilt under the sun.

A new long-term site with needed infrastructure would provide the stability needed to encourage more local farmers and producers to invest in ventures that would bring more volume and diversity to farmers markets, Cook said.

It was critical for the Tuesday and Saturday markets

to remain downtown, Cook said. The downtown markets board has looked at numerous potential locations, including South Park, she said.

Cook and Helen Schnoes, food systems coordinator for the Lawrence-Douglas County Sustainability Department, said a multi-use structure at South Park for market use would dovetail with Lawrence Parks and Recreation’s long-term facility plan for an event venue shelter at the park. However, Cook said a weekly farmers market at South Park could disrupt the park’s regular rental for community events. Accessible parking for vendors and shoppers would also be a concern, she said.

What she appreciated about the report was that it put that and other issues on the table and provides a structure for addressing them, Cook said.

The report proposes a working group of market managers, vendors, customers and city and county staff be formed in the next two or three years and be charged with finding a new location for the Saturday and Tuesday downtown markets.

Flaccavento said the report, which looked at 23 peer locations to Douglas County, found downtown farmers markets are popular magnets. Sixty percent of those surveyed indicated the markets were what brought them to downtown but that they did shop at other stores while there.

The report found another challenge to growing the county’s farmers markets’ customer base was the perception that they are not a primary source of groceries but places to acquire seasonal or special items that appeal to “foodies.”

“That’s fairly typical,”

Flaccavento said. “The reality is you can find just about everything at a farmers market that you can at a conventional grocery store; not only fresh produce but staples, eggs and meats. It’s a matter of getting people to recognize that.”

Increasing the markets’ volume and diversity of products would help address that concern, but marketing was key to breaking through that perception, Flaccavento said.

Marketing recommendations in the report include developing and training “market champions” to spread the word about the markets, starting a “first market of choice” campaign, publishing weekly or bimonthly newsletters that highlight items new to the market, upcoming events and special events, as well as personal stories.

Another marketing element stressed in the report is presentation. Flaccavento said farmers market shoppers expect some “earthiness,” but vendors should keep such basics in mind as displaying color, being aware of vertical and horizontal elements at their booths and keeping inventory well-stocked.

The release of the report marked the transition of the farmers market improvement effort from information gathering to implementation, Schnoes said. There remains $6,000 in grant money to make improvements proposed in the report, she said.

“We’re already planning a stakeholders meeting for February where we will start the conversations about developing a strategic plan to implement the recommendations,” she said. “At that (Wednesday) meeting, I think people saw the possibilities of working together on a countywide basis. It was the first time a lot of the vendors and managers had met those from the other markets. There’s a lot of energy in how they can work together to get more people to purchase locally produced, healthy food.”

The building’s new ownership says it plans to stick around, though they’re taking a decidedly different marketing approach than the hall’s earlier decades.

Although KU Student Housing prices continue to increase year after year, Naismith is actually cutting its rates roughly 15 percent and next year will offer rooms cheaper than any KU residence hall.

Reality: While it still has certain luxury perks — including housekeeping service and a pool — Naismith is now a 50-year-old residence hall. The once “luxurious” living quarters are now less spacious and less private by comparison than KU Student Housing’s new dorms and many of its renovated older dorms.

Gesturing uphill to KU’s 1-year-old Oswald and Self halls, Naismith general manager Brian Haney says, “I cannot compete with them … but I’m $3,500 a year less than what they are.”

For 2017-2018, the starting rate to live in Naismith, including two meals a day, will be $7,940 for the year.

KU’s cheapest residence hall rate, including a comparable dining plan, will be $8,766, according to KU Student Housing’s 2017-18 rate chart. That’s for a double room in Oliver Hall, with a community bathroom down the hall.

KU’s next cheapest rate is $10,060, for the least expensive rooms in GSP, Hashinger and Ellsworth halls. Rooms in Oswald and Self are $11,668 and higher.

For students looking for the community of dorm living, Haney said Naismith’s goal is to give students a good alternative to KU housing at a good price.

“We are a for-profit business, so we have to try to get that bottom line,” he said.

Business model The business Haney works for is New York City-based Bromley Companies, a family owned real estate company with office, residential, retail and industrial properties in multiple states.

Bromley closed on Naismith Hall at the end of 2012, Haney said.

“It is an attractive, well-located building that has housed over

out trash, clean sinks and bathrooms and vacuum each room once a week.

Naismith has most of the same rules as KU dorms, Johnson said.

No alcohol, no smoking, residents must be full-time KU students, residents must swipe an ID card to get up the elevators, and outside doors lock at 10:30 p.m., after which residents and guests must check in with security to enter.

Haney said Naismith can make accommodations like that because it has had extra room and also because, being privately owned, it has less red tape.

“We can do things on the fly,” he said. “We put them up, we feed them, they become part of our community.”

EDITORIALS

Understanding sales tax growth The city would do well to examine what financial impact Menards has had on the community.

I

t was good news to learn recently that of all the major retail markets in Kansas, Lawrence had the best growth in sales tax collections.

It would be better news if Lawrence officials had any idea why such growth happened, and, more importantly, how they could continue such momentum for years to come.

Lawrence sales tax collections grew by 5.5 percent in 2016. That was better than the 3.6 growth rate of Olathe, which was the next fastest-growing community.

There could be a variety of reasons sales in Lawrence increased at such a satisfying pace. Perhaps it is a sign of increased visitor spending fueled by Rock Chalk Park and other attractions. Maybe it is pent-up demand from consumers as the economy continues to rebound.

But there is another possibility that deserves investigation: We allowed Menards to build in our community, and the shoppers came. The monthly figures from the state show that sales tax collections on building materials sold in Lawrence were up 24 percent compared with 2015 totals. This happened in the year Menards opened its new megastore near 31st and Iowa streets.

Coincidence? Perhaps, but more likely the increase is exactly as it looks. The city allowed a new retail development, and residents who previously were leaving Lawrence to do some of their home improvement shopping now stay in town.

It is possible that some out-of-town shoppers — think places like Ottawa and De Soto — now make a trip to Lawrence to shop at the new store.

The city should figure out if that is indeed what happened. If so, they ought to brand the finding into their brains and recall it the next time opponents argue against a new shopping center proposal on the grounds that “Lawrence retail is overbuilt.”

That was one of the supposed reasons that city commissioners rejected a shopping center development south of the South Lawrence Trafficway and Iowa Street. It was proposed to have an Academy Sports, an Old Navy, a Designer Shoe Warehouse, among others. It was maddening to hear the number of times opponents of that project said there was nothing unique about such a shopping district, and thus you couldn’t expect people from Kansas City to drive here for stores that already exist in Kansas City.

Such logic seems to ignore that keeping retail dollars from leaving Lawrence is valuable too. The proposed developers of that project cited a study that found approximately 40 percent of every dollar Lawrence residents spend on fashion and home furnishings is spent outside of Lawrence. Isn’t anyone on the City Commission curious if that number is accurate?

Isn’t anyone curious how much money Lawrence may be leaving on the table?

Maybe boring sales tax figures don’t spark such curiosity. Here’s betting another set of figures will: In a few months, city commissioners will receive revenue projections to build the city’s 2018 budget.

If history is a good guide, commissioners will be plenty curious about why they never have enough money.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Jan. 22, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson, in an address to Congress, pleaded for an end to the war in Europe, calling for “peace without victory.” (By April, however, America also was at war.) l In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent. l In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81 after a reign of 63 years; she was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII. l In 1938, Thornton Wilder’s play “Our Town” was performed publicly for the first time in Princeton, New Jersey. l In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach.

Trump promises magical solutions It was, arguably, the most telling moment of Donald Trump’s inauguration speech.

People want good schools, neighborhoods and jobs, said the incoming president. “But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

“This American carnage,” promised Trump, “stops right here and stops right now.”

Leave aside the dubious veracity of painting our admittedly challenged nation as a hellish doomscape — “American carnage”?!

Really? — and ponder instead what he actually said there. Poverty, unemployment, miseducation, crime and drugs, issues that have bedeviled every nation and all generations, came to a screeching stop “right here

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Lasting change does not come because you yell at a problem. Lasting change comes because you work at it, because you commit to using the best ideas and the best minds to producing the best results.” ... and right now” at noon on Jan. 20.

Why? Because there’s a new sheriff in town, pardner. Because he’s putting his foot down. Because he says so.

If Trump gave any other reason — if he has ever given any other reason — it escaped notice. No, once again, we are promised a magic solution through the sheer force of his will.

It’s silly enough that you want to laugh until

you remember that 63 million Americans didn’t get the joke, that they took this stuff seriously. Indeed, they took it seriously enough to make him leader of the free world.

Never mind that Trump is really just that guy at the end of the bar who, with beer-lubricated certainty and megaphone volume, tells you how to solve humanity’s most intractable problems. And maybe as he’s speaking, as you’re under the spell of it, it sounds like wisdom. But the next morning, you sober up and see it for the hogwash it is.

Unfortunately, America has not sobered up yet.

It will soon. If the country is even halfway serious about resolving its challenges, it has no choice.

The magical thinking embodied in Trump’s speech is not a recipe for fixing problems, nor even for addressing them. It is, rather, a primal scream, viscerally satisfying in the short term but masturbatory and useless in the long term. At some point, in the not-distant future, after poverty, unemployment, miseducation, crime and drugs have not magically disappeared, one hopes the people who fell for this act will realize that.

Lasting change does not come because you yell at a problem. Lasting change comes because you work at it, because you commit to using the best ideas and the best minds to produce the best results. It’s not perfect, but it’s the process we have.

In the meantime, if there is a silver lining here, it is that the GOP now has the White House, the Congress and no excuses. So the rest of us would like to know when we can expect America to be “great again”? Is there a date the party would like to share?

Yes, the question is tongue in cheek, but it is also meant to point out what has always been painfully obvious and became even more so after the new president finished ordering poverty to get out of town by sundown. Namely, that it was all always an act, a fake, a con, even if voters have been slow to figure that out.

Bluster is not governance and the world doesn’t stop being complicated because you tell it to. Maybe even Donald Trump doesn’t know that yet.

But he’s about to find out.

PUBLIC FORUM

Beyond complacency To the editor: Since Nov. 9, I have repeatedly heard that one of the explanations for the shocking result was the “complacency of the middle class.” Maybe I’m missing something, but I just don’t see the connection. While it might be true that the middle class has become complacent, I just don’t see how this explains why so many people chose to see greed as progress, prurience as playful hijinks, tweets as substance, boasting as ability, tyranny as authority, racism as patriotism, denial as nullification and narcissism as power.

The yawning gap between each of the two descriptors, that’s where it all falls apart for me; middle class complacency does not explain this.

Frankly, I don’t know what does.

Oh. And Trump has the nuclear codes now. Are you scared yet?

Randi Hacker, Lawrence

Eastern bypass To the editor: I was reminded by the recent Lawrence JournalWorld article on industrial warehouse development to ask about an update on

the city’s Northeast Development Plan, the Capital Improvement Plan and the 2030 Transportation Plan in building a commercial connector from Kansas Highway 10 to U.S. Highway 24?

Such a connection would bring new life to our rail delivery system, our airport and create a huge opportunity to bring much-needed industrial arterials around these northeast connection points for commercial and industrial development. A majority of the land between these points is agricultural and can be mitigated through environmental impact assessments with minimal damage, if done correctly.

That was, unfortunately, learned the hard way constructing the South Lawrence Trafficway.

I look forward to future articles on how and, more importantly, when we will complete our commercial and industrial road development by these basic utility connections in northeast Douglas County and the outskirts of Lawrence.

Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters in Virginia resembled something of a peace mission.

During the transition between election and inauguration, leaders of the intelligence community said Russia engineered the hacking in an effort to help Trump, while Trump and supporters said other countries could have been involved. He also claimed the intelligence community leaked damaging information on him, including allegations out of Russia. (Trump later acknowledged that Russia was behind the hacking, but that the interference didn’t affect the counting of votes.)

Don’t let activism end here, crowd told

USA TODAY Network On the second day of Donald Trump’s presidency, demonstrations for women’s rights drew massive crowds in cities big and small. Some 670 marches in all 50 states and 32 countries — the largest taking place in the nation’s capital — were planned to send a message to the new president in protest of his agenda.

The crowds were so large in some cities that marching was nearly impossible. In Chicago, organizers halted the march and rallied at Grant Park instead as crowds swelled to 150,000, although thousands still marched.

Crowds gathered outside the Arizona State Capitol before the Women’s March on Phoenix, expected to draw 20,000 people and be the state’s largest sister march to the Women’s March on Washington.

The atmosphere was upbeat, energetic and peaceful, with people laughing, taking selfies with handmade signs and dancing around a drum circle that boomed right by the front door to the state Senate.

“I don’t see this as anti-Trump but a unifying force for intelligent people who have strong beliefs,” said Lynne Avril, 65, who is the illustrator for the young-adult fiction Amelia Bedelia series. “This is a generator of activism, it gets people excited about showing what they believe in. This is the heart of the American people right here.”

Pack Square was the epicenter of the march here, but the crowd of an estimated 10,000 pressed up against surrounding buildings and spilled into the sidewalk and streets.

Sarah Bender Hope and Nicholas Hope stood with their son, Solomon Hope, resting in a sling.

The Hopes had medical issues on their minds, as Solomon was born less than 26 weeks into Sarah Hope’s pregnancy and would continue to have health needs, they said.

Sarah Hope works for Genova Diagnostics, a global clinical laboratory based in Asheville focused on the prevention of disease.

“I see really sick people and tests that they need to figure out what’s going on in their bodies to get healthy are not covered by insurance,” she said.

CHICAGO

TRENTON, N.J.

In Grant Park, tens of thousands gathered for a rally that grew so large that organizers had to halt the planned short march through the city’s downtown.

Unseasonably warm weather appeared to help bolster attendance.

The Chicago Transit Authority added extra cars to the city’s L train service to help transport the mass of people. Still, the trains were packed to the gills.

Organizers, who projected more than 50,000 demonstrators, said the crowd appeared to have swelled to 150,000. It was held on the same site that former presi-

At the Ridgewood YWCA Saturday morning, 48 people planning to share a bus ride to the Women’s March on New Jersey in Trenton learned the charter bus would not be arriving. After waiting over an hour, organizers apologized and began lining up volunteer drivers.

“They said get in the car, we’re going, and here we are,” said Melanie Hazim of Saddle Brook, who carpooled with Melissa Carisi and others. They joined nearly 3,000 people inside the War Memorial theater listening to speeches and an estimated 3,000 outside, hearing speeches over a P.A. system.

here,” said Madonna. “It is the beginning of muchneeded change,” but, “change that will require sacrifice, people, change that will require many of us to make different choices in our lives. But this is the hallmark of revolution. So my question to you today is, are you ready?” She then entertained the crowd with her 1988 hit Express Yourself.

According to a sister march webpage, an estimated 2.6 million people took part in about 670 marches in all 50 states and 32 countries, from Belarus to New Zealand — with the largest taking place in Washington.

“This is an outpouring of energy and true democracy like I have never seen in my very long life,” said feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

“When you go back home, remember how you felt, that instant, that gut, that said ‘I gotta get on a bus, a train a plane,’ ” said Tamika Mallory, a civil rights activist. “Be bold in the way you were bold to come here in such large numbers.”

“It’s about you going home after today and standing up and fighting in our communities,” said Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill. “Take it home.”

Saturday morning, a D.C. official said, according to organizers, the turnout estimate had grown to 500,000 — more than double the 200,000 initially expected.

“This election was the first time I really felt like something in me was awakened and stirred,” said Robin Weiss, 45, a mother of nine who rode a bus from Louisville with her 16-yearold daughter. “I’m showing my daughter I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrive at the National Cathedral for the National Prayer Service.

In his appearance before CIA employees, Trump blamed the media for what he called false reporting of a “feud” with intelligence, saying that “I have a running one with the media; they are the most dishonest people on Earth.”

He also attacked media coverage of parts of his Inauguration Day, saying media outlets played down the size of the crowd he drew.

Democrats cited claims against Russia and the Trump campaign in reacting to the candidate’s CIA visit.

“After he finished ranting about crowd sizes on the National Mall, I hope President Trump sat down for an interview with the CIA to help with their investigation into his team’s possible collusion with the Kremlin to win the election,” said Zac Petkanas, a senior adviser to the Democratic National Committee.

“Next, he can sit down with the FBI who have sought warrants to monitor his team for the same reason.”

Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted praise for Friday’s inaugural events (and one news network’s coverage of it).

“A fantastic day and evening in Washington D.C.,” Trump posted, using his personal feed. “Thank you to @FoxNews and so many other news outlets for the GREAT reviews of the speech!”

The new president extolled his Twitter use during one of the Inaugural Balls Friday night, asking the crowd, “should I keep the Twitter going or not?” When supporters roared their approval, Trump replied, “I think so. You know, the enemies keep saying, ‘Oh, that’s terrible.’ But it’s a way of bypassing dishonest media.”

Trump supporters said the Inaugural Address, criticized by some pundits as dark, gave them hope he will be able to create the conditions for more jobs and better trade agreements with foreign competitors.

PM’s plan to fight counterfeiting leaves citizens cash-poor

THE DOLLAR

Prashun Mazumdar Special for USA TODAY

NEW DELHI Geeta Dutta, who runs a roadside tea shop in the nearby suburb of Noida, faces a dilemma: pay her rent or work.

“I’m late in paying the tuition fee of my kids, and my landlord has threatened eviction if we don’t pay the rent on time this month,” said Dutta, 45. “How can I leave the shop to stand in lines outside ATMs when there isn’t any guarantee that I’ll be able to take out my money?”

Two months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made an unprecedented decision to ban the most widely circulated bank notes — the 500- and 1,000-rupee bills, worth about $7 and $15 respectively — ordinary Indians are still reeling.

Modi instituted the shocking move in this cash-dependent nation of 1.2 billion people to fight the black market, counterfeit bills and the country’s endemic corruption. The old currency was being replaced with new 500- and 2,000-rupee bills, but they have been slow to gain circulation.

CHANNI ANAND, AP

Indians exchange old currency for new bills at a bank.

The deadline for implementing the demonetization program ended Dec. 30, and Modi promised the situation would return to normal then. But it hasn’t.

Instead, most people say things remain as dire as when the program was implemented in a surprise announcement on Nov. 8. Most towns and villages have serpentine lines at the banks, with scores of people eager to exchange old currency bills for the new ones.

And cash often runs out. As a result, the government has urged people to switch to digital payments from their cellphone, heralding the promise of a “cashless economy.”

Many residents scoff at that.

“How can I send money to my village on this,” said rickshaw driver Shyam Rai, 41, brandishing a basic cellphone without data capacity. In rural India, cash has been the only method of payment for decades, banks are scarce, and Internet access still has a long way to go.

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Donald Trump got Wall Street’s attention last week by saying the U.S. dollar is “too strong,” warning that a soaring greenback has “disadvantages” for U.S. companies that do a lot of business abroad.

The value of the dollar vs. a basket of foreign currencies, including Japan’s yen, the British pound and the euro, has risen more than 25% since the start of 2014 and is up 3.1% since Election Day. Those sharp gains include a nearly 1% drop Tuesday after Trump suggested that he prefers a weaker buck, which put the dollar in the red for 2017 and at its lowest level since early December.

In Friday trading, the dollar rose 0.4%. Like most financial assets, the dollar’s value is determined largely by market forces, such as the difference between the growth and investment outlook in the U.S. compared to other countries.

Longer-term dollar moves are driven by business fundamentals. While Trump, or any president, doesn’t fully control whether the value of the dollar rises or falls, a president can move the dial in the short term by jawboning markets.

The U.S. Treasury can also affect the dollar’s value by being active in the foreign currency markets, as can the nation’s central bank via the level of interest rates.

good for U.S. companies that sell overseas. The stronger the dollar the more expensive U.S. products are when sold abroad in markets with cheaper currencies. Consumers in those markets may choose to buy less expensive, non-American goods.

Fewer foreign sales of American products translates to less profit for U.S. companies and fewer new jobs. The broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, which is filled with large American companies such as retailer Walmart and heavy equipment maker Caterpillar, gets more than 43% of its total revenue from foreign sales, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. A strong dollar, Trump told The Wall Street Journal last week, is “killing” the competitiveness of U.S. businesses in places like China.

“Trump is very pro-business and would like to boost the U.S. manufacturing and export sectors,” says Randy Frederick, vice president of trading & deriva-

Ironically, the dollar’s rise has been partly a result of Trump’s proposed policies — corporate tax cuts, less regulation and more government spending. In

short, Trump’s policies that push up the U.S. dollar could offset the benefits — and impede the success — of “Trumponomics.” If foreigners can’t afford to buy products and services exported from America, it could derail Trump’s plans to revive U.S. manufacturing. Recent dollar strength has also been driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stated plans to raise short-term U.S. interest rates at least three times this year, which would boost the current yield of 0.75% to 1.5%.

“The real conundrum is that Trump’s proposed policies, which he believes will create jobs in the U.S. while accelerating economic growth to the 3%-4% range, will, if enacted, come with some undesirable side effects,” says Michael Farr, president of money management firm Farr Miller & Washington. uTalking down the dollar breaks from precedent.

Trump’s public preference for a weaker dollar contrasts with normal U.S. policy to promote a “strong dollar.” U.S. presidents normally refrain from talking specifically about the dollar, preferring to leave such commentary to the Treasury secretary, who normally sticks to the common refrain, “the U.S. supports a strong dollar.” A strong dollar, of course, signals strength and projects confidence in the U.S. The shifting message from Trump creates some confusion on Wall Street and a fresh uncertainty as to what the new White House administration will say and do next.

“It’s pretty unprecedented to hear comments by a president or president-elect to support a weaker dollar,” says Frederick.

PERSONAL FINANCE

Are your finances Trump-proof?

They could be fine, but fears are high enough to warrant some financial considerations Michael Molinski

Special for USA TODAY

Now that Donald Trump has become the nation’s 45th president, the world — and your finances — could change drastically.

Perhaps not right away. But over the next four years, there could be significant changes to the country, U.S. foreign policy, the economy, financial markets, taxes, housing, etc. Are you prepared for those changes? And more important, is your money and family Trump-proof? Although no one is certain what a Trump presidency will bring, here are a few possible scenarios to account for over the next four years: uTrump could lead the country into a new global war on terrorism, sending financial markets into heightened volatility. uHe could change some of the protective blankets that were used extensively by Americans after the financial crisis, such as unemployment insurance, Medicaid and food stamps. uHe could remove some homeowner protections, such as HARP, short sales, individual bankruptcy protection, etc. uHe could adjust taxes up or down, based on past Republican presidents, which could lower the tax rate for the wealthy and drop the capital gains tax rate. uThere could be a legislative impasse; or the president could be impeached for any number of reasons, such as the ongoing investigation into Russia meddling with the 2016 election.

It could prove that none of the above scenarios comes to pass, but people’s fears are high enough to warrant some financial considerations, such as: GET A FINANCIAL CHECKUP

Now is a good time to have a checkup by a financial planner to review your age-appropriate asset allocation and make sure you’re on track. A financial planner will also go over your income sources, emergency savings, insurance, real estate investments, retirement planning, etc. And it should include your own goals and concerns. If you’re worried about how the Trump presidency will affect you, you can bring that up as well.

PAY OFF DEBT

“Probably the best advice to Trump-proof your finances is to

become an asset superman,” says Carla Dearing, CEO of SUM180, a financial wellness service. If the economy turns down, make sure you have enough assets and are not financially susceptible to any risks.

“Probably the best advice to Trumpproof your finances is to become an asset REVIEW YOUR superman.” CASH SITUATION Carla Dearing, CEO of SUM180, a financial wellness service

Make sure you have enough money to cover at least three months of expenses within checking, savings, CDs, money markets or short-term bonds.

CONSIDER INCREASING YOUR REAL-ESTATE ASSETS

“Double up on your mortgage if you can,” says Dearing. Consider renting out a room or refinance your house at a lower rate. One of the advantages of real estate is that your mortgage payments usually qualify for a tax deduction.

CONSIDER BONDS

Bond yields are still very low, but yields could go up soon, especially if Trump increases infrastructure spending or cuts taxes. Bonds are an important part of most portfo-

lios, so investors should stick to an age-appropriate asset allocation for bonds. Municipal bonds could be attractive to Trumpproof a portfolio because you generally don’t pay federal taxes on income. Tom DeMarco, CFA, a fixed-income strategist at Fidelity, says one of the types of bonds that he finds appealing now are bonds issued by high-quality private universities, which don’t face the same types of pension and budget pressures faced by local governments.

CONSIDER BUYING TIPS, OR TREASURY INFLATION-PROTECTED SECURITIES

If inflation goes up under Trump, these instruments could guard you against that.

DIVERSIFY INTO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASSETS, DIFFERENT SECTORS, DIFFERENT EQUITYAND FIXED-INCOME STYLES

Making sure you are sufficiently diversified is probably the best way to Trump-proof your portfolio. If you are comfortable in your stock-picking ability and if you

have sufficient funds to lose, you may want to tweak your portfolio to some of the sectors that experts think could do better under a Trump presidency, such as defense stocks, energy, pharmaceuticals and exporters.

DO NOTHING

If you’re comfortable enough with your financial situation and you already have enough cash set aside in an emergency fund, your asset allocation is appropriately diversified and you have a stable stream of guaranteed income sources, then wait and see.

To sum up, do not steer too far from what you would normally do if Trump was not president. Make sure your asset allocation is appropriate to your age and financial situation. Do not steer your diversified portfolio into unknown territories. But make sure your portfolio is strong and stable enough to weather any changes in the next four years.

RETIREMENT

How will you spend your time in retirement?

A retirement coach could help you find the right balance between vacation and vocation Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

Retired and non-retired Americans say the freedom of being able to do “what they want when they want” is the most valued aspect of retirement, according to a recent Limra Secure Retirement Institute blog post.

Trouble is, many retirees and pre-retirees don’t necessarily know how they’ll spend all that free time. Sure, many want to and do travel. But there’s just as many who haven’t taken the time to figure out exactly what to do with their newfound freedom.

FIND A RETIREMENT COACH

Robert Laura, president of RetirementProject.org.

HIRE A RETIREMENT COACH

Increasingly, experts suggest hiring a professional — specifically a life or retirement coach — who can help you figure out how to avoid boredom and depression in retirement and, equally important, make retirement happier and more fulfilling.

“One of the goals of a retirement coach is to help people see retirement from a fresh perspective to open up new thoughts,” says Robert Laura, president of RetirementProject.org, which recently launched a retirement

coaching certification program.

“People often enter retirement with vague ideas and assumptions and suddenly don’t find retirement as fulfilling as they hope.”

Often, says Laura, pre-retirees and retirees think volunteering will bring fulfillment. “They enter retirement with this broad notion that they will fill time and have an impact on others by volunteering, but suddenly find that not all volunteer gigs feel good,” he says.

“And they don’t know why or who to talk to about it — that’s what coaches are for.”

HOWARD LOWER

Mitch Anthony is president of Advisor Insights Inc.

To be sure, it won’t be easy finding a retirement coach in the U.S. For one, given that it’s a relatively new profession, there aren’t that many of them. But that’s changing. Laura, for instance, is spearheading efforts to create a Retirement Coaches Association in hopes of establishing “more credibility and consistency in certifications and applications.” And organizations such Retirement Options offer consumers a Webbased directory of coaches.

In the meanwhile, experts such as Mitch Anthony, author of The New Retirementality: Planning Your Life and Living Your Dreams ... at Any Age You Want, is also training financial advisers to serve as retirement coaches.

When vetting a retirement coach, Anthony recommends evaluating whether the adviser can help you retire “to” something and not just “from” some-

thing; uncover aspects of your work that you may miss and need to replace in retirement; help you find balance between vacation and vocation; and navigate the differences in retirement expectations for couples. “If an adviser cannot provide these dialogues I recommend that (retirees and pre-retirees) partner with someone who can,” says Anthony.

Laura also says retirees should look for someone with some level of certification or training.

HOW MUCH MIGHT YOU PAY?

Retirees and pre-retirees who plan to hire a retirement coach will discover that compensation is all over the place. “You can pay $75 to $100 an hour in the Midwest and up to $300 per hour in the New York,” says Laura, who also notes that most coaches offer packages for multiple sessions that can save on the cost.

DO IT YOURSELF?

To be fair, some retirees and pre-retirees don’t need to hire a professional to help them figure out how to make retirement happier and more fulfilling. But they do need to spend time figuring out what will make their retirement fulfilling and put it in writing.

According to Limra Secure Retirement Institute research, twice as many retirees and pre-retirees with formal written retirement plans feel confident that they will be able to live their desired lifestyle in retirement as those without such plans (51% vs. 25%).

One such person who had a written plan was Dirk Cotton, a financial planner and author of the Retirement Café blog. “I entered retirement with an extensive lifestyle plan,” says Cotton, who retired in his early 50s some 11 years ago. “I have an extensive plan for everything and I enjoy retirement immensely.”

But, Cotton says pre-retirees and retirees should be flexible about their plan. “I’m doing very little of what I planned to do,” he says. “My biggest plans were to fly-fish the world and to attend minor league baseball games, and I still participate in these a bit.”

But his greatest joy now comes researching retirement finance; publishing academic papers and writing a blog on the subject; volunteering with teens at risk; traveling; taking a “large number of online classes in a broad range of subjects;” traveling; and applying to a doctoral program. Cotton is also spending time with his adult children. “I thought my kids wouldn’t need me after they were grown, but I spend a lot of time helping them,” he says. “These are not activities that even occurred to me before retirement.”

Could a retirement coach have helped Cotton find that bliss? “I doubt it, but I suspect that retirement coaches are like chiropractors and antidepressants,” Cotton says. “They help some people.”

Powell is editor of Retirement Weekly and contributes regularly to USA TODAY, “The Wall Street Journal” and MarketWatch.

The truth may hurt, but it will set you free Dear Annie: I’ve been on-again, offagain with this guy for five years. We’re both musicians. We live on opposite coasts, but between touring and picking up studio gigs, we cross paths or end up in each other’s city every couple of months.

We were only ‘’official’’ for about a year, three years ago. We decided to end things because of the distance. But we couldn’t just cut things off completely, so we continued to stay in touch via texts and phone calls — as ‘’friends.’’

The next time he was in town, we met up for a drink, and long story short, we ended up spending the whole weekend together.

We’ve done that routine a few times a year ever since.

Dear Annie

It’s been confusing.

We’re both technically single, but I’ve always felt as if I’m in a relationship. I don’t have any interest in dating anyone else, and I thought he felt the same way — until last month.

I was going to be in his city for work. I texted him a couple of weeks prior to let him know I’d be in town, and he said he couldn’t wait. Then, as the date got closer, he went ra-

‘Hunted’ to launch after AFC game CBS launches “Hunted” (9 p.m., TV-PG) right after the AFC Championship Game, so expect a large audience for this reality TV manhunt featuring nine teams of two ordinary Americans trying to stay off the grid and off the radar of a highly professional team of investigators and hunters.

The contestants have an area of more than 100,000 square miles in the American southeast to evade authorities. If they do that for 28 days, the teams will win a grand prize of $250,000.

Not unlike ‘’The Amazing Race,’’ this series introduces tandems from all strata of American society, including a model and her handsome boyfriend, two Muslim Americans, a couple who have fallen on hard times, a pair of women who describe themselves as ‘’Thelma and Louise’’ and/or ‘’Bonnie and Clyde,’’ and an ex con-turneddefense attorney who married one of his clients. Curiously, some of these players seem to care more about leaving their mobile devices and phones behind than separating from their families and children.

The investigators hail from the highest levels of security and law enforcement, including the FBI and the White House.

They describe their mission with utmost seriousness. ‘’This is what we do for a living,’’ says one gung-ho ‘‘hunter.’’

Only he seemed to forget the last part of his job description.

That is what he does for a living — on television.

The presence of TV crews and cameras also adds a silly element to the plight of the ‘‘Hunted’’ quarry. More than 40 years ago, heiress and fugitive Patty Hearst evaded capture for nearly two years. How? She laid low in rather humble abodes located in some of the least glamorous corners of Pennsylvania’s Poconos and New York’s Catskills. Then again, she didn’t have technology to tempt her and wasn’t pursued by a reality TV crew.

dio-silent. He stopped responding to any of my texts and didn’t answer my calls. Finally, I sent him a long text telling him how angry and hurt I was. He responded with a text telling me he started seeing someone else recently and doesn’t want to mess it up.

I feel betrayed and hurt, but maybe worst of all, I can’t help but hold out hope that this is just a fling and he’ll want me back when it’s over. We’ve had such a good thing for so long.

I want to tell him I’d even be willing to relocate if he wanted to try to make it work.

But I just don’t know where he really stands.

It feels as if everything he’s said and done for the past five years has sent mixed signals. I wish he would just be straight with me. Help.

Thousands protest Trump in Kansas, Missouri Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Thousands of protesters, mostly women, gathered in Missouri’s two biggest cities and Kansas’ capital city in disapproval of Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president.

Packing a park across from Kansas City’s landmark Union Station, the throng Saturday was urged by organizers to be vigilant about the new Trump administration’s policies and not let their activism wane.

As a 31-year-old working in HIV prevention, Jonathon Antle said he turned out for that rally in support of women’s rights, equality and gay rights. He says Trump “scares me,” citing what he calls the president’s “unpredictability, and his childishness with Twitter.”

Even in Republican-leaning Kansas, which Trump handily carried in the presidential race, at least 2,000 people turned out for a rally at the Statehouse in Topeka.

Thousands also turned out for a Saturday march in St. Louis and in Wichita.

Man charged in connection with KC shooting death Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Prosecutors have charged a man in connection with a shooting death last summer in Kansas City, Kan. The Kansas City Star reports that 34-year-old Maurice Wayne Hall was charged Friday in Wyandotte County with one count of first-degree murder.

He was arrested Wednesday.

Authorities allege Hall shot and killed Tyrone Wilson on July 25. Court records suggest that Wilson was shot while talking to people outside a building.

Online court records don’t show whether Hall has an attorney.

Hall’s bond is set at $250,000.

KANSAS GUARDS JOSH JACKSON (11) AND DEVONTÉ GRAHAM battle for a rebound with Texas forward Jarrett Allen during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 79-67 victory over the Longhorns on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. For more photos, please visit: www.kusports.com

Kansas sets tone early

Graham does what it takes Playing so fast, yet so under control, junior guard Devonté Graham gave his team such a big early cushion with which to work, an 18th consecutive victory never felt in jeopardy for Kansas, which dropped Texas, 79-67, Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks have won 50 in a row.

Seven early points from Graham gave KU a 14-2 lead. Texas fought back and Graham responded with six points in the final 4:57 of the first half.

He led Kansas with 15 first-half points and then did what he usually does when he reaches

double-digit points in the opening 20 minutes.

Graham became a facilitator, so much so that he took just one secondhalf shot and nailed it from deep in the left corner, a dagger that gave KU an insurmountable 12-point lead with 1:07 left.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) gets under Texas > KEEGAN, 4C guard Kerwin Roach Jr. to throw a pass.

It’s not often that what happens in the first 4:19 of a college basketball game teases how things will read when the final horn sounds at the end of the second half.

But that was exactly the case Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, where the second-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team used a wild, 14-2 rush to open the game to pick up a 79-67 victory over visiting Texas.

“I think that’s the best we’ve started a game,” said KU senior Frank

Mason III after finishing with 17 points and seven assists in 34 minutes.

The win marked KU’s 18th in a row this season, seventh in a row to open Big 12 play and 50th consecutive victory at Allen Fieldhouse.

And it came despite the Longhorns showing they came to create havoc before the game even began.

Twice during Saturday’s pre-game shootaround, a feisty and firedup Texas squad made moves to establish their presence. The first came when KU junior Devonté

Buzzer-beater drops FSHS boys basketball

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Overland Park — For the second night in a row, Free State’s boys basketball team put itself in position to beat one of the top-ranked teams in the state.

Once again, the Firebirds did everything but

win the game.

Free State played St. Thomas Aquinas to a draw for almost the entire game, but there was one thing it couldn’t do: stop senior Angelo Allegri.

In the end, that came back to bite the Firebirds in the third-place game of the Saints Classic on

Saturday at St. Thomas Aquinas.

With the score tied, Allegri received a pass from fellow senior Ben Hagenkord well beyond the 3-point line and drilled a shot as time expired to knock off FSHS, 63-60.

Allegri finished with 31 points.

“I think we can live

with the shot, a running 3-pointer from 20-something feet,” Free State coach Sam Stroh said.

“We’ll learn from it and we’ll get better.”

However, it took a miraculous shot for the Firebirds to even be in that position.

Junior Garrett Luinstra missed a potential

game-winning shot on Friday night, but Stroh still went back to the Firebirds’ most reliable scorer.

This time, Luinstra, who led the Firebirds with 20 points, came through for his team and drilled a deep 3-pointer to tie the score at 60-all with six seconds remaining.

“We run this play everyday in practice,” Luinstra said. “I’m supposed to come off a ball screen, but I just improvised and went the other way and got the open shot and it went in.”

But the Firebirds went from jubilant to dejected in a matter of moments, as

Lions finish sixth in Topeka tourney

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Topeka — Lawrence High boys basketball coach Mike Lewis gave his team a simple message in the visiting locker room Saturday.

Lewis encouraged his team to use its 76-70 loss to Topeka High in the fifth-place game of the Topeka Invitational Tournament as a lesson.

In particular, Lewis wanted the Lions to learn how to overcome adversity, something they struggled with during the three-day tournament at Topeka High.

“You have to learn from a game like this and move on,” Lewis said.

“It’s a situation where you have to look at character and decide when things aren’t going well, how are you going to handle it? I thought in the third quarter, we just didn’t handle it very well.”

It had been smooth sailing for the Lions prior to going 1-2 during this three-day stretch. They had started the year 7-1 and jumped out to a No. 4 ranking in Class 6A, including a 53-49 victory over the Trojans in the season opener.

But Saturday’s rematch didn’t go quite as planned.

At least not in the second half.

Lawrence began the game clicking as a team.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR JACKSON MALLORY PRESSURES Topeka senior Nysir Scott during the Lions’ 76-70 loss in the fifthplace game of the Topeka Invitational on Saturday in Topeka.

Eight different players made a shot from the floor in the first half, where sophomore Brett Chapple notched seven of his 11 points. LHS led by double digits for much of the first half and appeared to be cruising.

“We now know that we are human,” senior Jackson Mallory said.

“We know we are going to make mistakes and we need all nine to 12 guys

any given day to give us a shot to win.”

The Lions stopped hitting shots in the third period, while Topeka High senior Nysir Scott netted nearly every attempt he threw up.

It didn’t seem to matter who defended Scott, whether it was Mallory, Clarence King, Anthony Selden or Braden Solko. Scott scored 13 of his team’s 21 points in

the third period to reclaim the advantage for the Trojans, which they hadn’t held since the 6:45 mark in the first quarter.

Scott finished with a career-high 31 points on 17 shot attempts. At one point, he made four consecutive baskets for Topeka, including a pair of triples.

“We couldn’t hit shots and then we started bickering with each other,

pointing fingers at each other,” Mallory said.

LHS gave its best effort to steal back the lead in the final period.

After trailing by eight points with a little over two minutes remaining, Lewis and his assistant coaches began ordering the players to foul the opposition. They kept switching players such as sophomore Trey Quartlebaum and junior Steven

Strickland on the defensive end to keep some of his veterans from fouling out.

The strategy nearly worked to perfection, as the Lions trimmed it to two, 69-67, with 36.4 seconds left on a pair of free throws by Mallory.

However, the Trojans iced the game, going 8-of8 at the free throw line to close it out. Three LHS players scored in double figures in a losing effort.

Kobe Buffalomeat led the team with 18 points on 11 attempts, while Selden added 11.

“I liked how we finished the game,” Lewis said. “I really thought we have played over the last two games, six really good quarters. We just need to play a full eight quarters to get two wins.”

Lawrence (8-3) will travel to Olathe East at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Ballock sparks Eudora to Tonganoxie title J-W Staff Reports

Senior Mitchell Ballock scored 17 of his gamehigh 36 points in the first quarter to lead the Eudora boys basketball team to a 58-51 win over Wamego in the Tonganoxie Invitational championship game on Saturday.

The Creighton signee drilled five 3-pointers in the first five minutes, and earned tournament MVP honors after shooting 12for-23 from the field in the title game.

“Once I hit the first one, it just gave me confidence and I just shot with

no hesitation,” Ballock said. “My teammates just kept giving me the ball, and I had open looks so I shot it with confidence and knocked it down.”

The Cardinals have won four straight Tonganoxie Invitational tournaments, which is meaningful to Ballock, but he’s hungry for more hardware.

“It means a lot. Obviously it’s just one little milestone in the season,” said Ballock, who also had eight rebounds, four blocks and three assists.

Graham missed a halfcourt practice shot before heading back to the locker room and saw a UT player step to nearly the same spot and drain one just seconds later.

The second came on the very last shot of warm-ups, when a 3-point attempt by KU junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (12 points, 2-of-4 from long range) was swatted out of mid-air by UT guard Kerwin Roach as it approached the rim.

The two gestures may not have inspired much more than a chuckle and a roll of the eyes from the players on the home bench, but it went down as the proverbial poking of the bear that the Longhorns paid for dearly during that 14-2 run by Kansas less than five minutes into the game.

“That’s all right. I knew I was going to make that shot so it doesn’t matter that he did that,” Mykhailiuk joked. “We just came in focused, ready to play and played really good defense. That’s what got us to (14-2). That just shows when we turn up we can play really good defense and don’t let them score.”

Texas’ intimidation tactics did not subside once the game began.

Midway through the first half, after Eric Davis Jr. drained a 3 to pull the Longhorns (7-12 overall, 1-6 Big 12) within seven with 9:30 to play, Davis started barking at KU freshman Josh Jackson, who briefly said something back and then turned to the official and pointed Davis’ way.

Later, after Jackson was fouled while posting up a smaller Texas player — something he did with great success throughout the day — an easy layup that did not count was poked back up through the net by a UT defender. Instead of letting the shenanigans fly, Jackson grabbed the ball and put it back in the basket.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) GET IN FOR A BUCKET past Texas guards Kerwin Roach Jr., left, and Andrew Jones on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. the fire in the Jayhawks, the KU freshman who finished with 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting lit up.

“Oh, definitely,” Jackson said. “It makes it more fun. It definitely does ... We’re all competitive. We all just want

to go out there and compete.”

Behind the energy and juice of four steals in the first four minutes — KU finished with 10 in the first half and 14 for the game — the Jayhawks raced out to the early

12-point lead and left Texas coach Shaka Smart looking helpless on the UT bench.

After calling timeout to calm his team down, Smart watched the Longhorns trim the Kansas lead to single

digits twice in the next four minutes. Each time, Kansas responded with a 3-pointer, the first coming from Lagerald Vick and the second from Jackson.

Even after starting in a deep hole, Texas got a crack to climb all the way back and tie the game with just under six minutes to play in the first half, but an open 3-point look from the wing by Davis missed short and 10 seconds later, KU freshman Mitch Lightfoot tipped in a Kansas miss to maintain the Jayhawks’ breathing room.

Two minutes later, after a pair of 3-pointers from Graham and another from Mykhailiuk in the corner after a sweet feed from Jackson in the high post, the Jayhawks’ lead was back up to 10, 35-25, with 3:31 to play in the half.

From there, the two teams basically traded buckets and Kansas took a 41-33 lead into the half.

The Jayhawks shot 50 percent from 3-point range in the first half, draining 7 of 14 shots

from long range, but it was the timely nature of those makes that had Smart shaking his head and Self smiling.

“We had some times when we thought we could get even or even ahead, but Kansas had an answer every time and that’s what great teams do,” Smart said.

Backed by a monster game from freshman and former Kansas target Jarrett Allen, who finished with game-highs of 22 points and 19 rebounds (seven offensive), Texas never went away in the second half, continually trimming the Kansas lead to five or six points only to see the Jayhawks (18-1, 7-0) bump it back up to eight or nine a couple of possessions later.

It wasn’t until Graham, who scored 15 in the first half and finished with a team-high 18 points, buried a 3-pointer from in front of the Kansas bench to put KU up 12 with just over a minute remaining that the outcome was determined.

“That was the nail,” Self said of Graham’s fourth and final 3-pointer of the day. “We were so good early, you’re not going to keep playing that way. We kind of staggered ’em early and then the law of averages prevailed and they fought back ... We were really good early and then we got really average but made enough plays in the second half.

“It was a good win and what it does is sets up what is a huge week, probably about as big of a next two weeks as we’ve had in several years.”

Kansas will travel east to take on West Virginia on Tuesday before playing at Kentucky on Saturday and returning home for a showdown with Baylor on Feb. 1.

All three teams currently are ranked in the Top 10. The last time Kansas faced three Top 10 games in a row came in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, when the Jayhawks beat No. 4 North Carolina in the Elite Eight, No. 7 Ohio State in the Final Four and fell to No. 1 Kentucky in the national title game.

Graham’s always hunting victories, which of course is all that really matters, but when he’s as hot as he was in the first half, why not keep hunting shots?

“I don’t know why I’m doing that,” Graham said.

“Sometimes I have a nice little first half and don’t score in the second half.

I don’t have a problem with that. I’m just trying to make plays and still be aggressive.”

Graham played 36 minutes and it wouldn’t be realistic to expect to him play at the adrenaline level that fueled him in the opening and fourth quarters of the first half, but his pattern of following a loud first half with a blend-in second half is an interesting one.

He finished with as clean a box score line as any coach could ever ask for with 18 points, five rebounds, five assists, no turnovers and three steals. He made 6 of 10 field goals and 4 of 8 3-pointers. Still, the imagination was painting wild numbers based on his start.

It marked the fifth time this season Graham followed a double-digit scoring first half with a pass-first half.

He scored 12 points in the first half vs. UAB, four in the second, 10 in the first vs. Long Beach State, two in the second, a combined 28 first-half points against Stanford

In the five first-half flurry games, Graham has attempted just six second-half shots and scored nine points, compared to 65 first-half points. It’s nothing that has hurt the team and it’s a compliment to his not focusing on points, but it is unusual.

“It’s happened too often,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “He’s had several games where one half has been polar opposite of the other half. Now, he didn’t play bad the second half, but he didn’t put himself in position to score near as much, whereas the first

half he was looking for his shot.”

All that time without attempting a shot didn’t cool off Graham.

“He made a big one there when it counted, and certainly you get a guy who has 18 points, five assists and no turnovers, you’re not going to say that that’s a poor game,” Self said. “Obviously, that’s a great floor game, but he had the chance to really have a big night tonight and just didn’t seem near as aggressive the second half.”

Usually Graham’s loud half is the first one, although that wasn’t the case against Oklahoma State, when he scored 17 of his 21 points after

intermission.

Graham and Frank Mason III, playing together for three seasons, play as one backcourt instead of two individuals and genuinely don’t seem to care who does what when as long as it gets done.

Here’s how well they did their jobs Saturday: Graham and Mason combined for 35 points, 12 assists and just one turnover and made 6 of 12 3-pointers. The rest of the team combined for four assists and 15 turnovers.

One of these days Kansas will need to carry a heavy scoring load for Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo both halves and chances KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM is fouled by Texas are he’ll be right there delivering what’s needed. forward Shaquille Cleare.

NOTEBOOK

Jackson finds 3-point stroke

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

His shooting form made headlines well before Josh Jackson ever suited up for the Kansas men’s basketball team.

But on Saturday, during a 79-67 victory over Texas that featured a fast start followed by an allout street fight, Jackson’s jumper was good enough to help lead the Jayhawks to victory.

“Probably his two biggest shots today were the threes he hit,” UT coach Shaka Smart said of KU’s freshman force who finished with 15 points but shot just 6-of-14 from the floor. “You’ve got to try to take away something, and we didn’t want him to be able to score in the paint. But he really made us pay with those two threes, one in the first half and one in the second half, and they were at kind of critical junctures in the game.”

Despite the rough shooting day, Jackson said he owed his confidence to take those shots to his teammates.

“The more I’m open, the more I’m gonna let the ball go. I’m gonna shoot it,” he said. “The biggest thing coach and my teammates tell me is when I’m open, just shoot it.”

In addition to firing his way to 15 points, Jackson tallied five rebounds and four steals but also added six turnovers. That mixed bag of production left KU coach Bill Self looking for better days ahead from the KU freshman.

“I didn’t think Josh had a good game today, by his standards,” Self said.

“It was a game where he could’ve had 25 real easy.

He tried to make great plays when great plays aren’t there... He didn’t play poorly, but I didn’t think he played quite as well, and I thought he was pretty careless with the ball.”

Lightfoot contribution With Texas’ big front line wearing down the Jayhawks midway through the first half, Self turned to freshman Mitch Lightfoot for a four-minute spurt and wound up getting more than he expected.

Lightfoot, who had not played in KU’s last two games and stepped on the floor for just four minutes in the Jayhawks’ last six games, finished 1-for-1 from the floor with two points, two rebounds and a vote of confidence from his head coach.

“This is my second time being here and both times have been on a weekend,” Smart began.

“And it’s kind of like the Twilight Zone because it feels like there is nothing else going on here besides the game.

Everyone is locked in on the game. That’s a testament to the program and Coach Self and what they’ve built over the years.”

“I thought it was great,” Self said of Lightfoot’s lone basket off of a missed layup by Frank Mason III. “That’s as good of an offensive tipin as we’ve had all year — left-handed, across his body. That was great.

I thought Mitch did well.

I haven’t got him in and he deserves to play more than he has. But it was nice to see him have some success when he got out there.”

Lucas ailing Senior forward Landen Lucas battled two foes on Saturday afternoon — the Texas Longhorns and an illness.

Despite playing sick, Lucas still managed to pull down a team-high 14 rebounds while playing eight minutes more than his season average of 23.1.

“He didn’t feel good, guys,” Self said. “He’s medicated, he’s got all the stuff and I thought he showed us quite a bit by being out there and playing 31 minutes. He was good in that regard.

He does a lot of things to help us win even if

BRIEFLY Baker senior breaks trey record Baker senior forward Kelsey Larson broke the BU women’s basketball school record for 3-point goals made in a game with eight on Saturday as the Wildcats defeated Clarke, 103-63, inside the Collins Center

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Allegri’s buzzer-beater ultimately sealed their fate.

“I thought it was going into overtime,” Luinstra said. “Tough game.”

And yet, Free State (64, No. 9 in 6A) had the opportunity to ensure the game with Aquinas (8-1, No. 1 in 5A) didn’t come down to the buzzer.

The Firebirds led by two entering the fourth quarter and extended their lead to six, 48-42, with six minutes remaining. But they started to settle for jump shots, and four consecutive missed jumpers turned into a 9-0 run for the Saints.

“We were short on all of them and they leak out and get a dunk and a 3,” Stroh said. “Instead of us being up four or six, we’re down three.”

Free State was able to do all of that despite senior Cameron Clark battling foul trouble all night.

He scored 13 points, but was only able to play 14 minutes.

He scored six points in the first four minutes, but that’s all he would play in the first half after picking up his two fouls.

After playing most of the third quarter, Clark picked up his fourth foul with seven minutes remaining. As a result, he

in Baldwin City.

The Iola native finished the day with 30 points and shot 8-of-12 from behind the arc and 10-of-16 from the field overall. Baker also tied the school record for 3-pointers in a game with 18.

was only able to play four minutes in the fourth quarter.

“When he was out there he gave us great minutes,” Stroh said.

“A couple of fouls here and there it’s a different game. But we’re not going to blame the refs, we’re going to just keep playing.”

Despite a 1-2 record in a midseason tournament, the Firebirds insist there were plenty of positives they could take from the tournament. For starters, Stroh was really pleased to see every player he inserted into the game contribute in a positive way.

Most importantly, the Firebirds are continuing to grow as the season progresses.

“We played two really tough teams and I think we showed some grit and some competitiveness,” Luinstra said. “I think we learned a lot about ourselves and how to guard other teams.”
