Intersection was site of recent crash

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

——

The Kansas Department of Transportation likely won’t be able to make any short-term fixes to improve the safety of a much-debated South Lawrence Trafficway intersection that was the site of a three-car crash on Tuesday.

An initial report from the Kansas Highway Patrol indicated the accident at the intersection of Kansas Highway 10 and East 1200 Road — also commonly referred to as the Kasold Drive and SLT intersection — was caused when a Lawrence motorist was struck by oncoming traffic while trying to cross the highway, which is prohibited with the current configuration of the intersection. > FIX, 2A

KU expert: Theories of controversial prof connect to their views

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — In Kansas and throughout the nation, Secretary of State Kris Kobach is known as a conservative hard-liner on immigration policy.

At home, he championed some of the toughest voting laws in the nation, requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls and to show documentary proof of citizenship in order to register.

And elsewhere in the country, he has helped craft state and local laws, many of which have been overturned, aimed at barring illegal immigrants from obtaining jobs, public services and even housing.

But close observers of Kobach say his worldview didn’t come out of a vacuum. It was shaped in his college years at Harvard University where he studied under a controversial professor, the late Samuel Huntington, who argued in his later years that immigration, particularly from Mexico and Latin America, represented the single biggest threat to what he called the “American identity.”

Huntington served as Kobach’s student adviser at Harvard, where Kobach studied from 1984 to 1988, and many have described him as Kobach’s philosophical mentor.

Some experts, including University of Kansas political science professor Paul Schumaker, have linked the policy ideas of President-elect Donald Trump (top) and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (center) to the late Samuel Huntington (bottom), a Harvard professor who wrote that immigration, especially from Latin America, was the greatest threat to American identity, and listed Latin America, along with the Islamic world, the former Soviet Union and several other “civilizations” as threats to Western dominance.

University of Kansas alumna Peggy Weeks lives in Overland Park now, but she came back to downtown Lawrence this weekend for Small Business Saturday. And for good reason, she said.

“The reason we are here is the many local and unique shops and restaurants,” Weeks said.

“There’s really nothing like it.”

The owners of those unique local shops were looking to greet a lot of hometown and destination shoppers for Small Business Saturday, said Sally Zogry, of Downtown Lawrence Inc.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Fix CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The intersection was the subject of debate between city, county and state transportation officials in recent months.

City and county officials lobbied the state to install a traffic signal at the intersection, but the state ultimately decided to adopt a less expensive plan that involved limiting the intersection to right-in and right-out turning movements. The plan also involved installing plastic stick-like barriers in the center of the highway to prevent motorists from crossing the highway.

The Lawrence driver who attempted to cross the highway is listed as 68-year old Milton P. Allen Jr. in the report. Allen, a Lawrence attorney and grandson of former University of Kansas basketball coach Phog Allen, remained in Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka in stable condition as of Saturday morning.

During the debate about the future of the intersection, local officials heard concerns that motorists likely would still try to

TRAFFIC FLOWS THROUGH THE RECENTLY MODIFIED INTERSECTION at Kansas Highway 10 and East 1200 Road on Friday. Recently, stick-like barriers were placed on either side of the intersection to prevent motorists from crossing K-10. On Tuesday, a three-car crash occurred when a motorist tried to cross the highway, according to the accident report. cross the highway, which was one of the reasons a majority of city and county commissioners lobbied for a traffic signal.

KDOT spokeswoman Kim Qualls said the department will continue to monitor the safety of the intersection, but said it would be difficult to make quick improvements to stop motorists from trying to cross the highway. For instance, she said installing more substantial concrete barriers to prevent motorists from crossing wouldn’t be feasible.

It was during that time that the Soviet Union was collapsing and the Cold War was coming to an end, and political theorists like Huntington were trying to imagine what the new world order would look like.

In 1993, Huntington wrote an essay for the journal Foreign Affairs titled “Clash of Civilizations?” In it, he argued that future conflicts would no longer be based on clashes between nations or ideologies, but rather between civilizations and their cultures.

Specifically, Huntington divided the world into roughly eight civilizations, most of which he saw as potential threats to Western civilization, and said the U.S. should change its foreign policy and immigration policy to maintain its dominance on the world stage.

“If one looks at the evidence,” Huntington said in a 1996 interview on PBS’ Charlie Rose

solution,” Qualls said.

Instead, a long-term solution likely would involve more expensive fixes, such as a raised median or other types of improvements. Qualls said that could be a possibility if the intersection develops a history of crashes.

Tuesday’s accident was the first one since the new improvements were completed earlier this month.

She said KDOT has been reluctant to make major improvements at the intersection because the state hopes to improve the entire western leg of the SLT to a four-lane

Schumaker, who said he also required students to read Huntington in his classes, said that with 20 years of hindsight, he believes Huntington got many things right.

But he said Huntington drew criticism from the left for suggesting that the differences between cultures could not be reconciled and that conflicts could not be resolved peacefully.

“I think the main thing was that a lot of the hostility toward it was that he kind of made it seem like Islamic culture in particular was much more monolithic, and Western culture was more monolithic than it in fact is,” Schumaker said. “Most Islamic people are quite taken by Western values. It’s only the political Islam, or the fundamental Islamic people that we see in ISIS and those kinds of movements, that have really disliked Western civilization.”

But in 2004, a few years before his death, Huntington took his theory even further with a new book, “Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity.”

In that book, Huntington argued that contrary to popular thought, America is not a nation of immigrants, but rather a nation of settlers who came here to establish a new civilization based

facility in future years.

Any improvements made at the intersection now would have to be torn out as part of the expansion project.

But proponents of the more expensive traffic signal option argued that it is uncertain when — if ever — the SLT would be expanded. KDOT officials countered that another option would be to close the intersection entirely, which drew opposition from several rural residents who said the intersection is an important entrance into west Lawrence.

largely on British and Protestant values.

The waves of immigrants who came after the founding of the nation largely assimilated into the culture. But by the dawn of the 21st century, he argued, new waves of immigrants, primarily from Mexico and Latin America, were flooding into the country, often illegally.

And because many of them were not assimilating into the culture, Huntington argued that America was at risk of losing its national identity to such forces as “multiculturalism” and “bilingualism.”

“Historically, the substance of American identity has involved four key components: race, ethnicity, culture (most notably language and religion), and ideology,” Huntington wrote. “The racial and ethnic Americas are no more. Cultural America is under siege.

And as the Soviet experience illustrates, ideology is a weak glue to hold together people otherwise lacking racial, ethnic, and cultural sources of community.”

The Trump-Kobach era Schumaker said he sees clear similarities between Huntington’s idea of a lost American identity and the major themes of the Trump campaign.

“I guess in this election what we really saw was a lot of people were buying into that kind of thesis, that multiculturalism is the source of why America isn’t great

by KDOT engineers.

Qualls said the department’s main point of emphasis will be stressing to motorists the importance of following the traffic regulations and that it is both unsafe and illegal to try to avoid the barriers.

“What appears to have happened here is that somebody broke the law with what they did,” Qualls said. “That is the basic premise here.”

Qualls said additional traffic enforcement at the intersection is possible.

“The one thing you really don’t want to do is have to put law enforcement out there to monitor it, but sometimes that is what you have to do,” Qualls said. “You would rather have people abide by what is in place.”

Both Mayor Mike Amyx and Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman said they would continue to remain in contact with KDOT about the intersection.

“I’m very concerned about the ultimate safety of that design, and would hope that KDOT will look into the accident, and keep an eye on that particular intersection,” Thellman said.

Democrats, moderates wield new strength in leadership races

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — After picking up big gains in the November elections, Democrats and moderate Republicans in the Kansas House find themselves in new positions of relative power — and in the thick of contested leadership races.

On the Democratic side, Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita is actively campaigning for the job of minority leader, a race he lost two years ago to Rep. Tom Burroughs of Kansas City.

And on the Republican side, moderates such as Rep. Tom Sloan of Lawrence are hoping

to leverage their new strength to get key committee assignments and chairmanships in the midst of a three-way race for House Speaker.

“There are a lot more of us, and the speaker candidates have to take that into account when it comes to several things,” Sloan said Friday.

Although the Democratic leadership race involves the same two candidates as in 2014, the circumstances this year are almost polar opposites.

Two years ago, it was an open race because the previous leader, Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence, had stepped down in an unsuccessful bid for governor.

Ward

Burroughs

Sloan

Following his loss, and the loss of five seats in the House, the question was which of the two could deal more effectively with the solid conservative majority and its leadership team led by Speaker Ray Merrick.

This year, Democrats are coming off of big wins, having

Merrick

picked up 13 seats formerly held by Republicans while losing only one of their own. Both Burroughs and Ward were active in campaigning and raising money for Democratic challengers, and both can claim some credit for some of the party’s wins.

But the question this year may be less about who can deal with conservatives than about who can work most effectively with moderate Republicans to form a governing coalition on issues including tax policy, the budget, education funding and writing a new school finance formula.

In addition, because Democrats had a net gain of 12 seats, boosting their caucus to 40 members in the 125-seat House, they’ll be entitled to more seats on each committee, which means the candidates for minority leader have a few more

Lawmakers call on Brownback to make cuts before session Topeka (ap) — Some lawmakers have expressed concern over Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to wait until January to fix the state’s $349 million budget deficit.

The three governors who preceded Brownback used their executive authority to make cuts before the Legislature convened when the state faced financial difficulties. And until this year, Brownback had done the same multiple times, The Wichita Eagle reported.

But the Republican’s decision to wait this year has rankled lawmakers of both parties, who say that will exacerbate the problem.

A spokeswoman for Brownback, however, said the governor “intends to submit a budget proposal in January that makes significant cuts unnecessary.”

“It is interesting that legislators who campaigned on protecting core functions of government from spending cuts are now criticizing the Governor for refusing to cut K-12, higher education, social services, and public safety,” said Brownback spokeswoman Melika Willoughby.

Willoughby also said

in an email that Brownback’s budget will make furloughs and layoffs unnecessary.

Some lawmakers are concerned, however, that the governor will opt for a one-time solution like selling off the state’s future proceeds from a tobacco settlement or delaying or reducing payments to the state’s pension fund.

“I’m sure the governor’s going to bring that back,” said Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, the vice chairman of the Senate budget committee. “He’s got a one-time money, short-term fix that he wants the legislators to agree to.”

Denning added that the Republican caucus needs a long-term solution to go with any one-time spending measure.

Brownback needs legislative approval to sell off the tobacco proceeds, which is used to fund programs that provide health care, literacy education and other services for low-income children, according to Annie McKay, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children, an advocacy group.

McKay said using the

BRIEFLY Boy, 8, killed in farm accident Mcpherson (ap) — Authorities say an 8-year-old boy has died in a farming accident in Kansas.

The McPherson County sheriff’s office says the accident occurred

Saturday near Galva. The child was riding on a tractor with an adult when a piece of equipment came off and struck the boy, killing him.

No one else was injured in the accident.

Authorities haven’t released the child’s identity.

tobacco settlement would be a “desperate, panicked move” that would permanently decimate “a system that supports Kansas’ youngest and most vulnerable citizens” for a one-time fix.

Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, sent an email, obtained by the Eagle, that asked the Republican Senate caucus to join her “in calling on the Governor to lead and use this opportunity to implement necessary cuts this fiscal year.”

The governor doesn’t have to wait for the Legislature: He has the power to make across-the-board cuts if the state is on pace to end the fiscal year with less than $100 million in its general fund, as well as targeted cuts if the state is on pace to have an ending balance of less than zero, which it currently is.

“It’s unprecedented and highly irresponsible for the governor to just basically punt,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, the Legislature’s longest-serving member. “Or maybe I should describe it as an onside kick because he is deferring to the Legislature.”

Although state assessments provide “one way to look at how students are doing,” he added, they’re pieces of a much larger puzzle.

Lawrence, for the record, followed a much larger pattern that played out across the state this year. The Lawrence district, along with districts statewide, experienced growth in both the bottom and top achievement levels in 2016. Local students scored slightly higher than Kansas students overall.

So far, none of the Democrats in the Lawrence delegation said they had committed to supporting Burroughs or Ward, and most said they’re not trying to bargain for better committee posts.

“No, I am very, very pleased with my committees,” said Rep. Barbara Ballard, the senior member of the Lawrence delegation, who is running unopposed for another term as caucus chairwoman.

Ballard serves on the Appropriations Committee and could be in line to take over as the ranking Democrat on that panel, which would give her a seat in conference committee negotiations.

But Ballard said she is not asking for that position.

“I’ve turned it down twice,” she said. But if it’s offered, she said, “I’ve agreed to consider it.”

Democratic Rep. Boog Highberger also said he’s comfortable with his current assignments, which include being the ranking minority on the Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee and holding a seat on the Judiciary Committee.

“I’m happy to stay where I am, but I will go wherever I’m needed,” he said.

Rep. John Wilson, however, said he is stepping

down from his position as policy chair of the Democratic caucus and would like to spend more time on what he called “the big issues” of taxes, the budget and education.

Wilson’s current assignments include the Health and Human Services Committee and the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.

Meanwhile, Sloan stated during the campaign that he hoped he could return to the House Utilities Committee, where he had served every year since 1995 until Merrick became House speaker in 2011. And he would like to reclaim chairmanship of the House’s long-range planning committee, Vision 2020.

About a half block to the north, a busy store put a smile on Shauna Swanson’s face. The “decision maker” of the familyowned Hobbs Inc. said it pleased her to see a steady stream of customers passing through and enjoying the store’s seasonal decorations, this year inspired

by Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

The store at 700 Massachusetts St. has been open for 18 years and has put up holiday decorations each year, Swanson said.

“It’s really gratifying to see people having a good time and enjoying the Grinch theme,” she said. “That’s what it is all about. We appreciate being a staple of downtown.”

l Hear a recommendation from district officials to accept the resignation of an employee “who was the subject of the pending investigation effective at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.” District administration further recommends that the employee be placed on administrative leave for the duration of the 2016-2017 school year.

The recommendation will be delivered by Anna Stubblefield, assistant superintendent of educational support, and David Cunningham, the district’s executive director of

human resources and legal counsel. l Hear an update on the district’s master facility planning for secondary schools. John Wilkins Jr., a principal with architecture firm Gould Evans, will present a report on the aspirational goals, needs and proposed concepts of tentative renovations and additions to Lawrence’s middle and high schools.

David Arteberry, an associate of the district’s bond financial adviser George K. Baum, will present information outlining the district’s current outstanding

debt obligations as well as information on past bond issues, mill levies and existing bond payment schedules and debt capacity. l Be asked to approve a final draft of input regarding a new school finance framework before submitting that draft to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The presentation, delivered by Stubblefield and Lawrence Public Schools finance director Kathy Johnson, will also ask the school board to review a final draft of the district’s proposed 2017 legislative priorities.

Merrick removed him from that post last year as punishment because Sloan led the committee to advance a bill in the 2015 session to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, something both Merrick and Gov. Sam Brownback vehemently opposed.

“I don’t know if that committee’s going to exist, but I’d like to be a chairman,” Sloan said. “I run a good meeting.”

Sloan said he has met with two of the three speaker candidates so far and planned to meet with the third soon. They include Rep. Ron Ryckman of Olathe, the current chairman of Appropriations; Rep. Jene Vickrey of Louisburg, the current majority leader; and Rep. Russ Jennings of Lakin, who is running as the moderate alternative.

But no matter who wins the speaker’s race, Sloan said, that person will have to bargain with moderates on a long list of issues.

“One is the state’s financial situation,” he said.

“Another is the expected

Supreme Court decision (on school finance). We’ll have to put more money into K-12. And another is how do you continue to support higher education.

If that’s an economic driver, you’ve got to support it.”

Rep.-elect Jim Karleskint, R-Tonganoxie, will be an incoming freshman in the 2017 session. He said recently that he had met with all three speaker

candidates. And although he hasn’t committed to any of them, he said he has asked to be involved in education policy and the writing of a new school finance formula.

Leadership elections in the House and Senate will take place Monday, Dec. 5.

Saturdays would be the norm through Christmas.

“We get people every Saturday, but we got more today,” she said.

“As Christmas gets closer we’ll get even busier, but it’s a pretty good day.”

Treatment plant good investment The sewage facility south of town will help Lawrence grow and will meet modern regulations.

S

ome of the most important responsibilities of municipal government are infrastructure projects that can largely go unnoticed by the public.

Such is the case with the city’s new $74 million sewage treatment plant south of the Wakarusa River. More than halfway complete and scheduled to open by January 2018, the Wakarusa Wastewater Treatment Plant will give the city greater capacity to handle growth and meet new treatment regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency.

In simpler terms, city utilities engineer Melinda Harger said the new plant will increase the capacity of the city by 2.5 million gallons of sewage per day, or by about 20 percent. The plant will be able to meet the needs of nearly half the city.

The plant will treat sewage from west and south Lawrence that now follows the infrastructure system of lines and pumps to be treated at the city’s lone plant on the northeastern edge of town. It’s an inefficient system, Harger said.

The new plant is about 25 acres and will include four basins and six buildings.

Each facility is a step in cleaning wastewater — trash and grit screens, chemical cleansers, ultraviolet disinfection — as well as an administration building that will house a control room and labs. And the “peak flow” storage basin has a 5 million gallon capacity to help with stormwater runoff during heavy rain.

The plant is designed to meet tightened state and federal environmental regulations to clear pollutants from the water.

One of the basins will be used for biological nutrient removal, so that nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen that can harm the ecosystem are removed.

“If you want a healthy stream ecosystem, you want to limit some of those nutrients,” Harger said. “Basically what we’re putting back into the river, it’s a lot cleaner than the river that’s already there.”

The Wakarusa plant is also designed so that it can be expanded easily.

The new plant is paid for through annual 5 to 7 percent rate increases for water and wastewater approved in 2013. The most recent rate increase under that plan went into effect this month.

Having ample capacity for wastewater treatment now and in the future is a critical component of Lawrence’s infrastructure. The new Wakarusa plant is a smart investment that should serve the city well into the future.

Newspapers, the answer to fake news “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free ... it expects what never was and never will be.” — Thomas Jefferson There is good news on fake news.

As you doubtless know, the proliferation thereof has people fretting. President Obama has dubbed it a threat to democracy. And there is a rising demand for social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, often used as platforms for these viral untruths, to take corrective action.

But the good news is that anyone who wishes to avoid fake news can do so easily. There is, in fact, a news platform that specializes in gathering and disseminating nonfake news. So committed are its people to this mission that some have been known to risk, and even to lose, their lives in the process.

Granted, this platform is imperfect — sometimes it is guilty of error or even bias.

But hardly ever will you find it trafficking in intentional falsehoods.

So what, you ask, is this miracle medium? Well, it’s called a “newspaper.” Maybe you’ve heard of it.

Ahem.

Yes, there is a point here, and it is this: The facts are knowable — and easily so.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Real journalists regularly produce real news that is easily accessible. So the rise of fake news speaks not to the unavailability of the real thing, but, rather to a preference for the phony one.”

So the proliferation of fake news should tell you something.

Before we go further, though, a definition of terms. Fake news is not to be confused with satirical news as seen on shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight.” Fake news is not a humorous comment on the news. Rather, fake news seeks to supplant the news, to sway its audience into believing all sorts of untruths and conspiracy theo-

ries, the more bizarre, the better.

There is, for instance, the “story” that opponents of Donald Trump beat a homeless veteran to death. Didn’t happen.

There is also the “story” that Hillary Clinton molested children in the backroom of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria. Also didn’t happen.

The New York Times recently did a case study of a fake news story. It originated with Eric Tucker, a marketing executive in Austin, who posted pictures of buses he claimed had been used to transport paid protesters to an anti-Trump rally. This blew up on Facebook and Twitter. By the next day, Trump himself was tweeting about “professional protesters, incited by media.”

But this, too, didn’t happen. The buses had, in fact, been hired by a software company for a conference.

Asked why he didn’t check this, Tucker told the Times, “I’m also a very busy businessman and I don’t have time to fact-check everything that I put out there.”

Can we get a Bronx cheer right here for “citizen journalism?”

As noted above, real journalists regularly produce real news that is easily accessible. So the rise of fake

news speaks not to the unavailability of the real thing, but, rather to a preference for the phony one. It is no coincidence fake news almost always seems to find greatest purchase among conservatives, or that the stories it tells almost always seem to validate their sense of their own victimhood.

But the president is right — these lies are eating like termites through the foundations of democracy, a process likely to accelerate as Obama is succeeded by one of the chief national distributors of this political manure. The right wing has led us so far down the rabbit hole of its alt-right alt-reality that we now face the very real prospect of military and policy choices hinged on things “people are saying” or tweets from those who are too “busy” to check facts.

One recalls what Jefferson said about the incompatibility of ignorance and freedom — and one wonders how long we have. Fake news drives a fake worldview. But the decisions made from that will be real.

And the consequences, too.

— Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay-rights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White. (White served five years for manslaughter; he committed suicide in October 1985.) l In 1901, the U.S. Army War College was established in Washington, D.C. l In 1924, Macy’s first Thanksgiving Day parade — billed as a “Christmas Parade” — took place in New York. l In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who’d resigned.

The boondoggle of infrastructure spending Washington — History has a sly sense of humor. It caused an epiphany regarding infrastructure projects — roads, harbors, airports, etc. — to occur on a bridge over Boston’s Charles River, hard by Harvard Yard, where rarely is heard a discouraging word about government.

Last spring, Larry Summers, former treasury secretary and Harvard president, was mired in congealed traffic on the bridge, which is being repaired, and he suddenly understood “American sclerosis.” Repairing the bridge, which was built in 11 months in 1912, will take about five years. The problem, he concluded in a blog post, is “a gaggle of regulators and veto players” — Massachusetts’ government, contractors, environmental agencies, the historical commission, etc.

— “each with the power to block or to delay, and each with their own parochial concerns.” Summers’ sunburst of understanding continued: “I’m a progressive, but it seems plausible to wonder if government can build a nation abroad, fight social decay, run schools, mandate the design of cars, run health insurance exchanges or set proper sexual harassment policies on college campuses, if it can’t even fix a 232foot bridge competently.

Waiting in traffic over the Anderson Bridge, I’ve empathized with the two-thirds of Americans who distrust government. ... We seem to

George Will

be caught in a dismal cycle of low expectations, poor results and shared cynicism.”

There is a trope for these times: “I’m a progressive, but ... .” Barack Obama should have understood this in 2009 when he serenely promised “shovel-ready projects,” the scarcity of which was one reason his stimulus barely stimulated.

Groundbreaking for the Empire State Building was on March 17, 1930. Construction soon began and the building officially opened May 1, 1931 — just 410 days, during the Great Depression. The Pentagon was built in just 16 months, during wartime. After seeing reconstruction of Manhattan’s West Side Highway take 35 years (construction of the George Washington Bridge took 39 months), Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan despaired that whereas America once celebrated people who built things, it now honors those who block building.

Today’s long lag between the conception and execution of infrastructure projects is one reason they are dubious as countercyclical economic

stimulants, and as jobs programs for the unemployed.

The economist Milton Friedman said that once, while he was taken to see a canal that was being dug, he expressed astonishment that there was no heavy earth-moving machinery, only men with shovels. A government official said that was because the project was a jobs program.

Well, then, Friedman replied, shouldn’t they use spoons rather than shovels?

New Deal public works gave the nation splendidly useful engineering marvels, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hoover Dam. It did not, however, significantly reduce unemployment, which never came below 14 percent until prewar military spending began.

Both presidential candidates endorsed huge increases in infrastructure spending, so we are about to relearn that bipartisanship, whatever its many merits, usually means a recklessly open spending spigot. Will there be wasteful projects? Indeed, boondoggles are transaction costs of democracy. As is the inclination to direct infrastructure spending to stagnant regions, where it is unlikely to stimulate growth, rather than to regions where economic dynamism is putting pressure on, and being dampened by, inadequate infrastructure.

Besides, the economic bang from every infrastructure buck is biggest in a society that is starting from a low

base, as America did in the first half of the 19th century.

Princeton historian James M. McPherson in “Battle Cry of Freedom” noted that before 1815 — before all-weather macadamized roads — the only efficient means of moving goods long distances was sailing ships and down-river floats. “The cost of transporting a ton of goods 30 miles inland from an American port equaled the cost of carrying the same goods across the Atlantic.” So, “America’s transatlantic trade exceeded internal commerce” and “the economy grew little if any faster than population.”

Then came the Erie Canal and the frenzied funding of emulative projects, many of which failed, but the successes redeemed the rest.

Next came railroads, and soon Americans regarded infrastructure — then called “internal improvements” — as emblems of national greatness. When the Marquis de Lafayette toured America in 1824, a couple of years before the 50th anniversary of the Revolution, his New York banquet table groaned beneath the weight of a 75foot model of the Erie Canal, which opened in 1825.

Americans hoped that commerce, ignited by infrastructure, would weld the nation’s sections, defusing the danger of disunion. Actually, this would require a railroad lawyer from Illinois.

Quilt CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

A new quilt created by Boucher depicting the building’s red-brick exterior now hangs from the walls of the museum’s third floor and on Saturday will be given away in a raffle to benefit the Watkins Museum.

“I’ve wanted to do something for Watkins for years, and since I turned 70 this year, I just thought, ‘It’s now or never,’” said Boucher, a longtime seamstress and member of the Kaw Valley Quilters Guild.

Boucher, who also helped craft a 76-inch quilt in honor of Lawrence’s 150th anniversary in 2004, began work on the Watkins project this past summer. The 48-by-52-inch quilt took three months and 1,470 yards of multicolored thread to complete, said Boucher, who first approached Watkins executive director Steve Nowak with the idea (the two attend church together) earlier this year.

He said yes, and Boucher got to work, first by studying pictures of the building provided

by Nowak as well as her own snapshots. She then created a pattern based on these images, and labored, quite diligently at times, to find the right materials for the job.

“The profile is just so distinctive,” Boucher said of the museum, which she depicts from a street view looking toward the building’s arched entryway and steep gabled roof. “You see so many pictures and it just pops off the background, and I was fortunate enough to find a sky color that I felt really enhanced the roof color to where it stands

out really nicely against that.”

Another challenge?

Finding just the right shade of red to match the Watkins’ brick exterior.

“My husband and I went to every fabric store in Kansas and Missouri both,” she recalled with a laugh.

Actually piecing the quilt together, Boucher said, started from the top down. First, she laid out the sky section, moving then to the roof and the building’s architectural flourishes and finally to the trees planted along the sidewalk and the neighboring Japanese Friendship Garden, using the rawedge applique technique throughout.

She’s pleased with the results, and, as a longtime friend of the Watkins Museum, hopes to generate a lot of money for the historic building when her quilt is raffled off on Saturday. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn that day during the museum’s Tails and Traditions Family Festival, slated for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Those interested can purchase tickets for $5 each (or $20 for five) in person at the museum’s front desk, over the phone at 841-4109 or online at www.watkins museum.org.

In the meantime, happy with her Watkins Museum quilt, Boucher said she’d like to tackle the other items on her Lawrence architectural bucket list. Among her picks: the Union Pacific Depot, the courthouse, maybe the Ninth Street Missionary Baptist Church.

But first, there’s an old barn outside of town that she’s got her eye on.

The Watkins Museum, Boucher said, was a challenge. As someone with a tendency of doing “everything by the seat of my pants,” she said, she wasn’t sure how the quilt might turn out.

Originally, she’d chosen the wood-grained border fabric as a nod to a picture frame. The museum’s interpretation, though, suggested that the fabric in a way mimicked the curly yellow pine woodwork of the building’s third floor.

And that works, too, Boucher said.

“I’m pleasantly surprised,” she said of the quilt. “I hoped I could do it. I wanted to do justice to the building.”

Castro’s death won’t put end to communist rule Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

MIAMI The death of the father of Cuba’s communist revolution won’t mean that the repressive political system Fidel Castro installed nearly 58 years ago will die with him.

Castro, who died at age 90 Friday night, made sure his revolution would live on after he fell ill in 2006 by handing over the reins to his younger brother, Raúl, in 2008. That has given Raúl, now 85, time to consolidate his power as Cuba’s new strongman.

For nearly a half-century, Fidel Castro helped bring the world to the brink of nuclear war, tormented 11 American presidents and exerted almost total control over the last remaining communist government in the Western Hemisphere.

Few other world leaders in history could boast the longevity or influence of the iconic bearded, cigar-chewing Cuban dictator, who died Friday night after years of failing health. He was 90.

Raúl Castro, who succeeded his older brother as president of Cuba in 2008, announced Fidel’s death “with profound pain” on Cuban television early Saturday.

“Ever onward to victory,” he said of “the founder of the Cuban Revolution.”

The Cuban government will observe nine days of mourning.

Cuban President Raúl Castro has had years to establish himself.

After eight years as president, the younger Castro has cemented domestic and foreign relationships necessary to maintain control of Cuba’s military, economy and tightly controlled social order.

Throughout that time, he had Fidel nearby serving as an adviser and ever-present national icon — a seal of approval for anybody who questioned his rule. Their tag-team strategy was evident whenever foreign leaders visited the island: They would hold public appearances with Raúl and then meet privately with Fidel.

The system Fidel created even has endured with little change during the two years since President Obama and Raúl Castro ended five decades of isolation between the U.S. and Cuba, a move analysts expected would bring more freedom to the island.

Whelp, your dog might be even smarter than you think Canine memory is a (bow)wow finding Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Can’t remember where you set down your coffee a moment ago? Maybe you should ask your dog.

Dogs can remember their owners’ actions, even when those actions are trivial, a new study says.

Some canines can summon up what people were doing a full hour earlier, to the surprise of the study’s authors, who say the find-

ing is more than a mere curiosity.

It was already clear that dogs “have emotions similar to ours (and) they have a memory system similar to ours,” says study co-author Claudia Fugazza of Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary. “Our study basically shows dogs can remember events pretty much like we do.”

That dogs could perform remarkable feats of memory didn’t completely shock Fugazza and her colleagues. They had already found that after dogs see their owners perform a simple action, such as touching an umbrella, the pets easily mimic that action, even 24 hours later.

But for that test, which Fugazza calls “Do As I Do,” the dogs knew their job was to remember and repeat their owners’ deeds.

What could dogs remember, Fugazza wondered, if they didn’t know they were supposed to remember?

That’s no academic quibble.

When the dogs were cued to remember their owners’ actions, they were relying on what’s known as semantic memory. Humans use it to learn lessons in school and to accumulate facts about the world, such as the capitals of all 50 states.

On the other hand, if the dogs were remembering without any

expectations that the memory was useful, they would be relying on something close to episodic memory. That’s the memory of past experiences. Previously thought to be the sole province of humans, episodic memory is linked to self-awareness.

Other animals have demonstrated episodic memory. But this is the first time that non-human animals have shown the ability to record complex events, the researchers say.

Fugazza, who has three dogs, said that her work shows “we should treat dogs in a way that implies that we know that they remember what we do to them.”

Castro improved schools, health care, but could not bring prosperity Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

Although the United States has seen wave after wave of immigrants seeking a better life, few have been more determined than Cubans.

In the early 1960s, more than 14,000 children were sent by their Cuban parents to host families in the United States. In 1980, Fidel Castro allowed people to leave in the Mariel boatlift; more than 100,000 left.

The most stunning exodus occurred in the early 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union. Cubans who learned to get by with little during the hardest economic times used their ingenuity to fashion rafts and boats to make the dangerous trek across the Florida Straits.

Lawn-mower engines powered boats. Individuals hopped on inner tubes to paddle more than 100 miles of open ocean. In 2010, a Cuban made the journey on a 7foot boat made almost entirely of plastic foam.

nature of Cuba’s regime.

Carlos Mesa-Lago, a Cubanborn economics professor at the University of Pittsburgh, sums up Cuba’s economy under Castro simply: “He is an excellent politician, but he’s a terrible economist.”

Like most other aspects of Castro’s revolution, the economy was a centralized, state-run endeavor where few jobs were ever in the private sector. The state operated nearly every enterprise and employed nearly every Cuban worker.

While that led to impressive employment numbers that hovered near 100% many years, Mesa-Lago said those figures meant little since most jobs were unnecessary and wages have historically remained low. Businesses that required 100 workers were assigned 200 workers, Mesa-Lago said, in order to give the appearance of a functioning economy.

“The saying was, ‘I pretend that I am working, and you pretend that you are paying me,’” Mesa-Lago said.

In the early years, Cuba’s vast sugar plantations sustained the economy. Cuba was the world’s largest sugar exporter for decades and the economy was further bol-

stered by the extraction of minerals, the tourism industry and the sale of Cuban cigars and rum.

The Soviets also played a central role, providing subsidies to the island through the height of the Cold War. According to the Institute for Cuba and CubanAmerican Studies, Cuba was $20 billion in debt to the Soviet Union when it fell apart.

many of those reforms. His brother Raúl has instituted new ones, removing hundreds of thousands from the state payroll and allowing the private sector to expand.

One of Castro’s first pronouncements upon taking control of Cuba was that all citizens would have free access to education and health care. Those insti-

“He is an excellent politician, but he’s a terrible economist.”

Carlos Mesa-Lago, Cuban-born economics professor at the University of Pittsburgh

Cuba’s economic flaws were exposed following that collapse in 1991. The economy plummeted, food was scarce and even the state’s prized health and education sectors saw major cutbacks.

Mesa-Lago said Castro reluctantly instituted reforms. The government allowed some people to open private businesses, farmers were able to sell some products on the open market, rules barring foreign investment were loosened and Cubans were allowed to use the U.S. dollar to purchase items.

Once the economic situation stabilized, Castro pulled back

tutions have endured. But given the country’s stagnant economy, there is little for successful students to do once they graduate.

Many doctors and nurses are sent abroad to China, Venezuela and other countries to provide care in impoverished areas.

“The educational system keeps cranking out really qualified people, but it also loses them because the economy is not able to offer (acceptable) positions,” said Dick Cluster, a professor at the University of Massachusetts at Boston who lived in Havana in the early 1990s. “There’s definitely frustration.”

From dissident ... to dictator v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Revolution Plaza in Havana, Castro’s ashes will be transported across the country to the eastern city of Santiago. The final Mass and ceremony will take place Dec. 4, and his ashes will be interred in the cemetery of Santa Ifigenia.

For 47 years, Castro maintained his grip over the island nation by forging close bonds with the Soviet Union, Venezuela and China, inspiring a wave of antiAmerican leaders throughout Latin America along the way.

His undoing began with surgery in 2006 that forced him to cede power to his younger brother, Raúl, and forever changed the image of the man. Gone was the romantic vision of the bearded, cigar-smoking guerrilla leading his group of rebels through the mountains of Cuba, replaced by occasional pictures and videos of a frail, old man recovering in bath robes and track suits.

The prolonged physical collapse gave hope to Washington and to more than a million Cuban Americans who have fled his regime that a political change would soon follow. But his illness proved to be a blessing to those closest to him, easing the transition to a new leader and ensuring that they remained in power.

And true to his character, it did little to change his view of his own place in history.

“His personality was such that

the suppression of political liberties continues and state control of the economy has eased only slightly.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who was born in Havana and has long fought to topple the Castro regime, said Fidel’s death only “closes one chapter of this nightmare.”

“Don’t expect changes coming from Fidel’s death,” she said. “The only thing Fidel Castro has been successful at was staying in power.”

Cuba’s political future might be very different had Fidel insisted on remaining as president and then died in office. Many books in past years had predicted an uncertain transition from Castro to the next generation of leaders.

The thinking was that Raúl — a quiet, efficient man who mostly focused on military issues — would be unable to replace the outsize personality of his older brother.

Fidel ruled for nearly a half-century partly because of his charisma and energy, delivering hours-long speeches throughout the island and relishing in the international attention whenever he traveled abroad.

Raúl is a man of few words who shies from public appearances.

he always saw himself as the man on the horse, the only guy who could possibly do what he has done,” said Dennis Hays, a former chief Cuba analyst at the State Department. “In his mind, he was the only one who could hold back the tides of time and human nature as he has.”

Castro’s ascent to international prominence was meteoric. In the span of seven years, he went from solitary confinement in a Cuban prison to dictator of a country that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Once the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba’s status as a security threat to the United States diminished greatly and Castro was left to hold together a system no longer benefiting from Soviet aid.

While universal health care and education remained the pillars of his revolution, crumbling infrastructure, a stagnant economy and widespread poverty became prevalent in Cuba, forcing the country to rely on outside help — including the U.S. — to simply feed its people.

Yet his influence on America continued, as waves of Cubans took to the seas in makeshift boats and rafts to flee his grip, a flight that continues today. That group — concentrated mostly in South Florida — has steered U.S. policy toward Cuba and has become a deciding factor in local, state and national politics.

His influence over his own country is visible everywhere, from the billboards bearing his image to the crumbling buildings to the pre-embargo Americanmade cars that are still chugging along.

Ever since Castro officially stepped down on Feb. 19, 2008, and his brother was named president, he watched as Raúl Castro made sweeping changes to Cuba and its relationship with the United States. Raúl Castro made economic changes, taking small steps toward a more capitalist economy. For the first time, Cubans were allowed to buy and sell their homes and cars. They were allowed to own cellphones and computers.

While many U.S. officials dismissed the changes as cosmetic, Phil Peters of the Lexington Institute said Raúl Castro’s rush to implement them speaks volumes about the Cuba that Fidel Castro left behind.

“It shows that when he left office, the socialist system was on an unsustainable course,” Peters said. “And it shows that politics and ideological purity always came first for Fidel, even at the expense of an economy that could function and provide for people’s basic needs.”

On Dec. 17, 2014, Raúl Castro forged a historic deal with President Obama to end five decades of isolation and begin the long process of normalizing relations.

YAMIL LAGE, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

A poster of Fidel Castro reads “Socialism or death” in Spanish in Havana on Saturday.

During Obama’s visit to Cuba in March, Raúl was visibly shaken when Obama opened the floor to questions, causing him to fumble through his answers and needing help from aides.

Now, the international focus will lie squarely on Raúl, who may have his own health problems and a short-term future. Raúl holds several positions in Cuba — president, first secretary of the Communist Party and head of Cuba’s military. Castro has said he will step down from the presidency in 2018, but there is no indication he will give up the other positions.

Jaime Suchlicki, director of the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami, said that will allow Raúl to continue to influence Cuba’s next president and maintain control over the more powerful mechanisms of the party and the military.

Suchlicki estimates Cuba’s military runs 65% of Cuba’s economy — including its flourishing tourism industry.

The end result, Suchlicki said, will be similar to what China experienced under Mao Zedong, who controlled the country from his position as head of the communist party into the late 1970s.

“He’s not leaving power,” Suchlicki said. “He’s only leaving the office of the presidency.”

When Raúl’s time comes to an end, the question then is whether the Castro brothers have left an entrenched government system in place.

Bedtime blues: Couple fights over when to sleep Dear Annie: My husband and I have been having an ongoing conflict about when to go to bed at night, as he insists we go to bed at the same time. I am more of a night owl and sometimes will want to stay up until around 11, either because I’m not tired yet or because I want to watch a movie or program that’s not over until then.

My husband wants us to go to bed at 10, stating that it’s the only way to get enough sleep because our dog consistently wakes us up around 6. He says that when I go to bed after him, I wake him up while crawling into bed, causing him not to be able to fall asleep again for hours.

Also, he routinely falls asleep while watching TV in the living room and says that if he’s not

This bedtime issue has caused huge fights.

He accuses me of being selfish and not caring about the impact the lack of sleep will have on his health, while I feel that he’s being

controlling and treating me like a child by forcing me to go to bed at a certain time. I believe that he’s sincere about his sleep issues and that his point is not to control me, but I never imagined that as an adult I’d have an imposed bedtime.

I think there are larger issues at play. If I consistently acquiesce to his desired bedtime, will I be allowing him to treat me like a child, or will I, as he argues, be making a wise adult decision to do what’s best for our marriage and health? Each of us thinks the other is being unreasonable, and at this point, I am confused and don’t know who’s right. But I do know I missed the end of the most exciting World Series in years.

Speaking of children: Don’t let your husband treat you like one. It sounds as if he has a bit of a controlling streak, and it will only grow bigger if you take his demands lying down.

So be firm — but also compromise. Perhaps that means agreeing to go to bed at the same time once or twice a week.

To address the issue of your waking him up when you get in bed, consider getting two twin beds and pushing them together. I’ve heard from many readers that this works well.

Manhattan — When David Beaty looks back on the final Saturday of his second season as Kansas football coach, he will find it difficult to ignore a bumpy first-half stretch that sent his underdog Jayhawks into constant comeback mode for the remainder of the Sunflower Showdown.

Coming off the program’s most significant victory in two years a week earlier, KU couldn’t afford any slipups on the road against rival Kansas State. Turnovers on back-to-back possessions early in the second quarter provided the Wildcats all the buffer they needed at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, where Kansas fell, 34-19, marking the program’s 44th consecutive defeat outside of Lawrence.

Snyder celebrates in his own way

Following a competitive first quarter in front of 52,637, which even featured a brief 3-0 KU lead, heavily favored K-State began to open things up.

Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz took off for a long run — a recurring theme in the first half — to flip the field on the second play of the second quarter. One snap later, redshirt freshman running back Alex Barnes (10 carries, 103 yards, one touchdown) hit a hole on the right side at top speed and went on to leap into the end zone for a 31-yard score.

The contest really escaped KU’s reach two plays later, though, when redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley stared down a sideline pass intended for junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez.

KANSAS SAFETY FISH SMITHSON breaks up a pass to Kansas > JAYHAWKS, 4C State wide receiver Byron Pringle.

Manhattan — The man who built something truly amazing out of nothing reached a milestone Saturday afternoon with his 200th football victory at Kansas State.

His players celebrated the moment by pouring water on him and then carrying him off the field.

Surely, even the stoic Bill Snyder couldn’t contain his emotions, right?

“I got my pants wet,” was Snyder’s opening remark after his Wildcats defeated Kansas, 34-19, in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. “Cold.”

By that, Snyder didn’t mean he was so excited he wet his pants. He merely commented on the result of having water dumped on him.

The pain of watching his team’s lead, which had reached 27-3, fade had not completely healed.

Yet, Kansas State senior receiver Deante

Burton said he did witness emotion from Snyder, 77, a native of Saint Joseph, Mo., a quarterback for William Jewell College, and the shiniest of many gradeA apples to fall from the coaching tree of Iowa’s Hayden Fry. “I think he started to crack a smile,” Burton said. “I don’t know if he held it, but I saw the right side of his face edge up a little bit, so I was like, ‘Maybe we got one.

I don’t know.’ I’m sure maybe he’ll smile a little bit and then he’ll watch

Self: Azubuike move might not be permanent

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Bill Self’s decision to start freshman center Udoka Azubuike and sophomore wing Lagerald Vick in place of struggling starters Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr., brought some buzz to Friday’s 95-57 Kansas victory over UNC Asheville at Allen Fieldhouse.

But after the win Self cautioned against reading too much into the move.

“I think we’ll be a team that’s unlike most of the teams we’ve had,” Self revealed. “I think we’ll start based on scouting report a lot of times. And we haven’t ever done that. If a team plays small, we may go small. If a team plays two bigs, we may go two bigs.”

If it’s big Self’s looking for, they don’t make ’em much bigger than Azubuike, a 7-foot, 280-pound mountain of a man from Delta, Nigeria, who tallied 17 points and three blocks during his first career start on Friday night.

The basketball definition of a work in progress, Azubuike uses his size both on offense and defense,

dunking anything and everything he can get his hands on and making opponents think twice about entering the paint. Self’s teams always have been at their best defensively when they’ve had a player like that lurking in the lane, and the 14-year KU coach said Azubuike could be that player for this team, whether he continues to start or not.

“Yeah, yeah, he can,” Self said. “He’s got a better chance than anybody else on our team, for sure.

He and Josh (Jackson), I think, are our two best shot blockers.... ’Dok can actually block or alter (shots) and he does that better than anybody else. So it is nice to have somebody back

Big 12 Maryland 69, K-State 68 New York — Melo Trimble converted a layup with 6.6 seconds remaining as Maryland survived a stiff challenge from Kansas State in a 69-68 victory Saturday night in the Barclays Center Classic Championship game.

Trimble scored 18 points and his biggest hoop came on Maryland’s (7-0) final possession. He drove through the lane and got

by Kansas State forward D.J. Johnson for the basket.

After Trimble missed the subsequent free throw, Kansas State (5-1) had one more chance but Barry Brown’s jumper from the left side was short. Trimble celebrated with his teammates near center court, and then raced over to the first row and slapped hands with Maryland fans.

Baker football advances to NAIA semifinals

By Shane Jackson sjackson @ljworld.com

Baldwin City — Baker University junior quarterback Logan Brettell waited for the referee to raise his arms.

As soon as the official’s arms pointed into the dark sky to signal a touchdown, Brettell roared his approval and proceeded to sprint down the Baker sideline. Not a single teammate or coach stepped in his way as he dashed down the field another 60 yards shouting toward the raucous crowd at Liston Stadium.

Brettell’s opponents didn’t fare much better in an attempt to stop him on the field. Brettell scored four times, lifting No. 2 Baker past No. 8 Lindsey Wilson, 42-27, in the NAIA quarterfinal contest Saturday.

“To start the season we knew we wanted to win a national championship and if we didn’t do that we knew it would be a disappointment,” Brettell said. “This group just has a little more burning desire than the teams I have been a part of in the past.

We just want to win for each other.”

Brettell scored thrice through the air but it was his lone rushing touchdown that served as the game’s dagger.

The Blue Raiders (112) scored 11 unanswered points in the third quarter, trimming the Wildcats’ lead to just eight.

It marked the closest margin since Baker (130) took a 7-0 lead on the game’s opening drive.

“I thought our kids responded really well when we were up eight,” coach Mike Grossner said. “I could feel it on the sidelines. They were like ‘Let’s go get this.’”

Following a timeout, Baker came out in a fivewide set on 3rd-and-8 from the opponent’s nineyard line. For Brettell, the play was simple. If his first read wasn’t there, he was to throw the ball out of bounds or try to make a play with his feet.

And he chose the latter.

Brettell pump faked and rolled left. He kept running toward the corner of the end zone and dove across the pylon just before the Blue Raiders defenders could shove him out of bounds.

The only real question, was whether he ran faster on his touchdown run or on his celebratory dash down the sideline.

“I don’t know, that touchdown he was moving. He’s a playmaker,” said junior running back Cornell Brown, a Baldwin High grad. “The passion that he plays with, it rubs off on us. When I look at him and see him fired up, that just makes me so excited to see our leader with that much passion.”

The play gave the Wildcats a 42-27 advantage with nine seconds left in the third quarter.

But the damage had been done. The momentum had fully shifted towards the home team, and they would not relinquish it.

With the win, the team moved to its first semifinal since 1993. In fact, Baker is now the top remaining seed in the playoffs after No. 1 Marian was upset, 17-0, by No. 9 Eastern Oregon.

It’s a monumental feat for a program that had lost two quarterfinal contests over the last three years.

Baker will play host to Eastern Oregon next Saturday. A time for kickoff has yet to be announced.

KU volleyball takes outright title J-W Staff Report

Waco, Texas — It took another five-set match, but the No. 4-ranked Kansas volleyball team clinched sole possession of the Big 12 Conference title with a thrilling road victory against Baylor on Saturday, 25-20, 25-15, 1625, 22-25, 15-9.

After winning the first two sets, the Jayhawks saw the Bears fight back to force a fifth and decisive set at Ferrell Center. But KU pulled away with four straight points, including three consecutive kills by

there that can do that.”

While so much of what Azubuike is doing today is based off of raw size and skills, Self again emphasized that what Azubuike can offer in the future differs vastly from what he’s capable of doing today. And Self made no secret of the fact that he’s willing to let the young man’s game develop slowly while taking whatever he can get this season.

Azubuike is averaging just 12.2 minutes per outing and has played singledigit minutes just as often as he has been given double-digit minutes during the Jayhawks’ 5-1 start to the season.

“He’s gonna continue to get better and better,” Self said. “But I think if he can become a better lowpost defender, a better rim protector and a better defensive rebounder, that would be what I’d be happy with. Those are the things that the team needs more than anything else.”

One of the ways Azubuike plans to progress is by watching the man he replaced in the lineup on Friday night. Regardless of how the minutes

“

We are one true champion as a member of the only powerfive conference which plays a double round-robin schedule.”

— Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard junior outside hitter Kelsie Payne, who returned from an ankle injury after missing the team’s home match last week.

It’s the first time in program history that the Jayhawks (26-2, 15-1 in Big 12) have won a Big 12 title, and they extended their winning streak to 14 matches.

“It feels great,” Kansas

coach Ray Bechard said.

“I need to get beyond the fact that we let Baylor back in the match and enjoy what this team has accomplished over a 16-match conference schedule.

“We are one true champion as a member of the only power-five conference which plays a double round-robin schedule. We had to take

everybody’s best shot twice. I’m very proud of our team. Over the last seven matches we have played five five-setters, but remained resilient enough to win.”

Payne led the Jayhawks with 19 kills and 10 digs, which improved to 8-0 in five-set matches. Freshman Jada Burse added 16 kills, Tayler Soucie had

12 kills and eight blocks, and Madison Rigdon recorded 11 kills and 13 digs.

Junior setter Ainise Havili posted a double-double with 53 assists and 13 digs.

The Jayhawks, who earned an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament by winning the Big 12, will learn of their postseason schedule at 8 p.m. today on ESPNU. “I’m proud of this group,” Bechard said.

“Now we can close the chapter on a great regular season and get ready for what we hope is a great postseason.”

are divvied up from this point on — and Self actually was encouraged by the way Lucas and Bragg handled and responded to Friday’s decision — both Azubuike and Lucas figure to play key roles for the Jayhawks whether on or off the floor.

“We didn’t really talk about it that much,” Azubuike said. “But Landen, he’s been a great teammate to me. He doesn’t talk a lot but, he’s like a role model. Just looking at him, the way he does things, the way he carries himself in practice, I’m just following in his footsteps because he’s been here for so long and he knows everything so I’m just looking up to him.”

Self said Friday that Azubuike and Vick again would join Jackson, Devonte’ Graham and Frank Mason III in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Long Beach State, but he made sure to stress that it’s not a move that he feels forced to stick with for the remainder of the season.

“Like I told them, this doesn’t have to be permanent,” Self began. “But if ’Dok and Lagerald play like that, I mean, that’s the best production we’ve got all year long from those Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo two spots. So it could be KANSAS FRESHMAN UDOKA AZUBUIKE FINISHES A DUNK during the Jayhawks’ 95-57 victory permanent, but I don’t over UNC Asheville on Friday night in Allen Fieldhouse. suspect it will be.”

Chiefs, Broncos are mirror images Denver (ap) — The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are a lot alike.

Stout secondaries.

Speedy sack-masters.

Scuffling ground games.

Problems protecting the passer.

Quarterbacks seeking to regain their pre-injury form.

Both teams are 7-3.

One averages 22.2 points, the other 23.9.

One surrenders 18.7 points a game, the other 18.9.

The difference when they play tonight in Denver could come down to this: the Broncos are fresher.

Benefiting from their late bye week, several players are healthy again, most notably cornerback Aqib Talib (back), defensive

end Derek Wolfe (elbow), linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring), fullback Andy Janovich (hand) and quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder).

The Chiefs are coming off a 19-17 loss at home to Tampa Bay that ended the five-game winning streak they put together coming off their bye in Week 5.

With starters Talib and Wolfe back and DeMarcus Ware ready to increase his workload now that he’s been back for a month from a broken arm, Denver’s defense is at full strength for the first time since the opener. The mood around team headquarters reflects a growing confidence they can repeat last year’s spectacular stretch run that resulted in a championship.

“I’m back, baby!” Talib

declared as he prepared to end his three-game hiatus. “My legs feel extra fresh and I just feel like super-fresh right now.”

Wolfe missed Denver’s last game with a hyperextended right elbow.

“I hated it,” Wolfe said.

“I don’t like watching the game in the first place. I like playing it. Standing on the sideline is miserable anyway. Just standing there for three hours isn’t fun.”

The banged-up Chiefs aren’t in nearly as good of shape as the Broncos.

Missing his third straight game is wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who hurt his groin on Nov. 6 against Jacksonville and hasn’t played since. His absence has coincided with a pronounced drop in production by the offense.

KANSAS COACH DAVID BEATY CONGRATULATES KANSAS STATE COACH BILL SNYDER on his 200th coaching win following the Wildcats’ 34-19 victory over the Jayhawks on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan.

the film and go back to stoic.”

The coach didn’t have to wait that long to send that right side of his face back to its proper place.

He knows what awaits him when he watches it again. After he called attention to general groups invested in the 200 victories, from players to assistant coaches to administrators to his family, he looked at the particulars of No. 200.

“I probably do not sound in a very good mood, but I am responsive to how we played, and today we played rather ugly,” Snyder said.

“I do not feel good about that, I assure you.”

Does the milestone squash those feelings of disappointment?

“Not really,” Snyder answered and moved

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Starks saw where Stanley was looking as well as anyone, and promptly picked the throw out of the air for a 39-yard touchdown return that allowed K-State’s lead to grow to 20-3 less than a minute after the Wildcats’ previous score.

Beaty said KSU (7-4 overall, 5-3 Big 12) clouded the boundary to defend that particular hitch route.

“I don’t think Carter saw (Starks’) feet, and we kind of know when they’re moving between coverages. His feet were tellin’ us that,” Beaty said of what the young quarterback should’ve noticed. “As he popped his hips, he never even saw him.”

Senior running back Ke’aun Kinner, who praised Stanley (24-for44 passing, 302 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions) for his toughness in a loss that featured plenty of Wildcat hits on the QB, said it was the kind of play the Jayhawks (2-10, 1-8) became all too familiar with in 2016. KU lost 36 turnovers on the season.

“Those mistakes can’t happen,” Kinner said.

“Sometimes it’s gonna happen, but it’s been definitely killin’ us.”

Further stymieing KU’s chances at any

onto the next question.

It’s not the result itself that seems to please Snyder, rather the process of players executing the things that lead to victory and Snyder knows that against a more experienced, more talented, deeper opponent, his team must perform in tidier fashion to win than it did Saturday.

The hope among KU fans pining for a fresh start in the rivalry that Snyder has dominated with a 21-4 record is that reaching the 200 milestone might lead the coach to retire for the second time and this time for good.

Not so sure about that. He’ll retire when he reaches a point where he thinks life in retirement will be more enjoyable than life as a coach who obsesses on every little detail that leads to winning plays. Maybe that’s after K-State’s bowl game. Maybe it’s a

momentum, its next possession ended four plays later, when senior KSU defensive tackle Craig Settles batted a Stanley throw skyward, and linebacker Elijah Lee positioned himself under the ball, as if returning a punt, for another interception. K-State didn’t score off its second of three takeaways, but it kept the visitors’ offense in a stagnant state. In the second quarter, Kansas only gained 1.9 yards per play while turning the ball over twice and punting it away on two other occasions. The half ended with Stanley heaving a Hail Mary, which fell incomplete, into the end zone.

Said Beaty: “That second quarter was obviously frustrating. I thought we did a lot of things to ourself — both sides of the ball, which was not good. But along those same lines I saw our guys continue to stand up and continue to fight and move forward and get back into that game in the second half, which is exactly what we want to do.”

The KU offense finally experienced a flash of life in the third quarter after going eight consecutive possessions without a score. Backed up against its own goal line following Nick Walsh’s third punt of the afternoon, Beaty dialed up a Stanley deep ball for Gonzalez (five catches, 127 yards),

few years from now. But this job means more to him than a number and so does his life outside the job. He’ll walk when he wants to change his work/life balance and not when a nice round number is reached.

“He treated his 200th win like his second win,” Burton said. “He’s a stoic guy. He told us numbers mean nothing and he couldn’t have done it without us.”

Burton did a nice job of capturing his coach’s style.

“Coach Snyder is a creature of habit,” Burton said. “Practice is exactly two hours and 47 minutes. You can time it if you want. We’ve tried and it’s exactly the same time every day. Things start at 3:52, (it lasts) 2:47, everything’s on the exact same schedule.

He’s a creature of habit and I think that’s how he created such a great team and such a great

atmosphere here by doing it the right way and doing it every time.”

The closer the Wildcats come to consistent behavior, practice habits, etc., the closer they come to reflecting their coach.

“He believes in the same thing, no matter the situation,” Burton said.

“We could be up by 50.

We could be down by 50, and he’s going to tell you to keep rowing the boat.

We could be playing a middle-school team.

We could be playing the Patriots. He’s going to tell you the exact same things you need to do to win the game. I think that’s what builds a program.”

Tears don’t. And Snyder didn’t shed any over his milestone.

“I’m glad they hung on,” Snyder said. “I know that.”

As for the celebration the milestone triggered, Snyder called it, “Part of KANSAS STATE HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER walks the sidelines during the fourth quarter. the deal.”

KANSAS QUARTERBACK CARTER STANLEY (9) loses the ball as he is hit by a Kansas State defender. and the junior receiver raced the other way for a 95-yard score — the third-longest reception in program history.

“He was a tough dude, man,” Beaty said of Stanley, who suffered four sacks and numerous other blows on runs and incomplete passes, but went 13-for-22 in the second half for 213 yards and a pair of scores. Stanley’s

finish helped KU gain 276 of its 403 yards after the break. “He kept gettin’ up off the floor and he got hit in a bunch of different ways today. I think our team really drew to him today. They really did.

He made some mistakes early — one was not a good one. But he kept playin’ man, and he was never rattled, which is something that you want

in your quarterback.”

K-State out-gained its rival 441-403 in total yardage on the day thanks to 342 yards on the ground, with the help of nine different rushers.

Sophomore KU defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. (six total tackles, three for loss) said the Wildcats proved more tricky to scheme for and defend than other opponents.

Ertz (12 carries, 99 yards) sitting in the second half for precautionary reasons only complicated matters.

“On film you don’t see those quarterbacks that came in late in the game,” Armstrong said of Joe Hubener and Alex Delton. “You don’t know how they play and what they do, so I just feel like you’ve got to go with the flow.”

Despite K-State’s Hubener opening the fourth quarter with a oneyard rushing touchdown, a development that had the potential to ensure the Jayhawks didn’t gain any false confidence for the final quarter, they had one of their best offensive stretches with the end of the season bolting toward them.

Still, over the final 15 minutes, KU won 17660 in yardage and senior kicker Matt Wyman recovered an onside kick.

Senior Kansas safety Fish Smithson, who recorded a game-high 11 total tackles, liked the way his team finished a

challenging season.

“At the beginning of the game, they were kind of just running it down us. Too many mistakes, I know I had too many.

After we kinda settled down,” Smithson said, “… we started playing well.”

Added Sims, who finished his standout sophomore season with five catches and 41 yards: “Coach Beaty makes us fight hard ’til the end of the game, no matter what, no matter what the scoreboard says. That just display the type of players we have on the team.

We’re gonna fight ’til the end.”

Kansas outscored the Wildcats 10-7 in the fourth, but saw the final series of the season end when Trey Dishon sacked Stanley to force a fumble recovered by Charmeachealle Moore with just more than two minutes to play.

That’s not the turnover Beaty will replay in his mind from the fourth quarter, though. He’ll instead recall senior linebacker Courtney Arnick forcing a fumble in his final game and junior lineman Kellen Ash falling on the ball for KU in the final minutes of a contest the players could’ve quit on much earlier.

“For me it’s a good sign for where our program’s heading that those guys continue to play hard and continue to believe,” Beaty said with his team headed into the offseason.

KANSAS STATE DEFENSIVE BACK DONNIE STARKS (10) RUNS IN AN INTERCEPTION FOR A TOUCHDOWN during the second quarter of Kansas’ 34-19 loss Saturday in Manhattan.

NOTEBOOK

Kansas special teams find success GAME STATS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Manhattan — With only fair catches and no returns in the punt game in its season-ending loss Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, the Kansas football team finished the year with negative-10 punt return yards in 2016.

However, the Jayhawks kept themselves in what became a 34-19 defeat at Kansas State with some special teams success.

Senior kicker Matthew Wyman finished his college career by going twofor-two on his field-goal tries. Wyman hit from 34 yards to give KU a 3-0 advantage in the opening minutes and drilled a fourth-quarter attempt from 44 yards, cutting the K-State lead to 15 with 6:30 left.

The 6-foot-1 kicker from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., though, experienced a different kind of rush late in the game shortly after his extra point on a Michael Zunica touchdown reception. Kansas head coach David Beaty elected for an onside kick with the Jayhawks (2-10 overall, 1-8 Big 12) trailing, 34-16, in the fourth. Wyman’s short kick bounced off of a Wildcat and ricocheted back in his direction.

“That was awesome to go out with that. I just saw the ball spit out and I hopped on it. Not a whole lot that I did. It was a lucky bounce, I guess, and I got on it,” Wyman said of the strategy. “There’s not really a plan on the onside. It’s just ‘hopefully someone messes up’ and I can get on the ball.”

Wyman, who finished the year 13-for-19 on field goals and made at least one for the sixth consecutive week, drew Beaty’s praise for that unexpected recovery.

“There was a lot of hustle, a lot of work put into that by (special teams coordinator) Joe DeForest,” the head coach added.

KU also earned a special teams victory early in the first quarter, when sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise blocked Ian Patterson’s extra point attempt, giving Wise his second block of the year.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Ohio State tops Michigan in double OT The Associated Press

Top 25 No. 2 Ohio State 30, No. 3 Michigan 27, 2 OT Columbus, Ohio — Curtis Samuel swept in for a 15-yard touchdown after Ohio State barely converted a fourth-and-1 and the second-ranked Buckeyes beat Michigan in double overtime.

With Ohio State (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) facing fourth-and-1 from the 16, coach Urban Meyer decided not to kick a potential tying field goal with a kicker who had already missed two short ones in regulation.

The first matchup to go to overtime in the 113game history of the rivalry likely eliminated Michigan (10-2, 7-2, No. 3 CFP) from the playoff race and could have locked up a spot for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes missed out on a spot in the Big Ten title game, with Penn State heading to Indianapolis instead to face Wisconsin.

Michigan could end up in the Rose Bowl, but the biggest prizes are still eluding the Wolverines in their second year under coach Jim Harbaugh.

He’s 0-2 against Meyer and the Buckeyes.

No. 9 Colorado 27, No. 21 Utah 22 Boulder, Colo. — Ninthranked Colorado won the Pac-12 South title with a win over Utah thanks to a senior-laden defense that forced two huge fumbles

The Utes (8-4, 5-4) pulled to 27-22 on Demari Simpkins’ 7-yard TD catch with 1:34 remaining that capped an 80-yard drive that included two fourth-down conversions and was done largely without Williams, who hobbled off for the second time with an apparent shoulder injury.

The 2-point conversion toss by Troy Williams was incomplete, and the Utes’ onside kick failed when Kabion Ento recovered for Colorado, which ran out the clock to complete its worst-to-first revival in one of college football’s biggest comeback stories in recent years.

No. 15 Florida State 31, No. 13 Florida 13 Tallahassee, Fla. — Dalvin Cook rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown as Florida State defeated Florida for the fourth straight year.

Cook’s 17-yard score in the first quarter was his 45th career rushing touchdown, which broke Greg Allen’s 32-year old mark. The junior is also the first FSU running back since Sammie Smith (1986-88) with three straight 100-yard games against Florida.

The Seminoles rushed for 249 yards and averaged 6.2 yards per carry against the nation’s fifth-ranked run defense.

Freddie Stevenson had a 27-yard touchdown on his lone carry during the fourth quarter to make it 24-6 and put the game out of reach.

The victory ties the Seminoles’ longest winning streak in the Sunshine State Showdown series. They also won four straight from 1977-80 and 1987-90.

Deondre Francois was 15 of 26 for 138 yards, including a 46-yard touchdown to Travis Rudolph during the third quarter to give the Seminoles a 17-6 lead.

Francois also had a 9-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter for the final score.

Vanderbilt 45, No. 24 Tennessee 34 Nashville, Tenn. — Kyle Shurmur threw for a career-high 416 yards, and Vanderbilt scored the final 21 points in an upset of Tennessee that erased any doubts they belong in a bowl.

The Commodores (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) earned a bowl berth for the first time since 2013 thanks to their Academic Progress Rate (APR) score before kickoff. Then they went out and turned in the best offensive performance yet in picking up their sixth win this year and improving coach Derek Mason’s best record in his third season.

Vanderbilt scored its most points against an SEC opponent since scoring 49 against Mississippi State on Sept. 25, 1971.

CAST MEMBERS IN THEATRE LAWRENCE’S PRODUCTION OF “PETER PAN” rehearse at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. The show opens Friday.

Playing a young boy, however, didn’t come automatically to Nystrom, she said.

She said she usually plays a “sweet woman sort of role” and at first she spent a lot of time observing the interactions of the actual boys who play the Lost Boys. Gradually, she found herself getting deeper into the role.

“I mean, I find myself on a daily basis with my hands on my hips, walking a bit like Peter Pan, sitting like Peter Pan,” she said. “Because it just kind of seeps into your daily life when you always think about it

during the show.”

Nystrom is just one of a cast of 32 characters, including Wendy and her younger brothers, Nana the dog, the Lost Boys, the ticking crocodile, as well as Captain Hook and a host of other pirates.

Doveston said she thinks the pirates, as well as their wooden pirate ship, are a highlight of the show.

“We have great pirates swaggering around and terrorizing people, and they have a good comic element to them,” Doveton said.

Of course, there is also the flying. Doveton said five

characters fly during the performance — gliding above the stage and the audience on a special rigging system — and up to four characters will take to the air at one time. That’s a record for Theatre Lawrence, Doveton said.

“Any time you add special effects of any kind, you’re entering a whole new realm, so this is exciting for us,” Doveton said. “The kids who are flying are just having a fabulous time.”

Even with the flying, Nystrom wasn’t immediately sure what her favorite element of the show was.

“I love all of it,” she said at first. “But all the people, that’s the best, is just being with all these people and singing. And the flying.”

“Peter Pan” opens at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive, and runs until Dec. 18. Tickets can be purchased at theatrelawrence.com, the theatre’s box office or by calling 8437469.

‘White Teeth’ a lot to chew on

W

ith Zadie Smith set to visit Lawrence on Thursday — thanks to our lovely friends at KU’s Hall Center for the Humanities — I was asked to write a piece about Smith.

Why me, you may ask?

Fantastic question.

Anyone who has mentioned Zadie Smith within earshot of me will most likely have been told (by me!) a wellworn, old story of writing a grad school paper on “White Teeth” and then accosting Smith with said paper at an author event in Kansas City.

They will also see me beam with pride as I say that she wrote me back and commented that some of my points were pretty good. (I still have that old, old email.) So, that’s why: because I freak out about “White Teeth” anytime anyone brings up Zadie Smith.

With that out of the way, here’s why I think “White Teeth” is so important, perhaps now more than ever.

First, for those who have not read the book, here is some attempted enticement. Then-24-yearold Smith’s debut novel was released to great acclaim in January 2000, that cultural moment when we were all taking solace that Y2K didn’t collapse the grid. Yet it

was still a giddy, hopeful, perhaps blindly optimistic time, right before our late-’90s economic boom collapsed along with the World Trade Center.

Entertainment Weekly hailed her as the “It Lit Debutante.” Salman Rushdie declared the novel “an astonishingly assured debut.” It was in the window of every bookstore.

“White Teeth” is the sweeping, epic, multicultural story of three families—the Joneses, the Iqbals, and the Chalfens (one “mixed” family, one Indian, one very white, respectively). The central storylines concentrate on the parents and children of these families, but also extend backwards in time to grandparents and even a great-great-grandparent, stretching from the 1990s back to the 1850s and here and there through the 1970s and 1980s. The central metaphors of the book — teeth and horticulture — concentrate on “roots,” and Smith plumbs the depths of these roots exhaustively throughout the book.

So that’s the context, the basic gist of the book.

Are you still with me?

Here is a bold declaration. “White Teeth” demonstrates that fiction writing is perhaps the best situated medium there is to help us understand the complexities of all our intersectionalities as human beings.

Why? A novel allows

an author and its reader (and perhaps a community of readers discussing the author’s book during and after reading it) to engage in an extended meditation on how human beings behave, how they interact with one another, and how they respond to the things that happen in the world that surrounds them.

So what? Characters interacting and reacting to their fictive world (generally based on our own real world) allow us to see examples of behavior and ways of being that help us understand a world beyond our own, and this helps expand our consciousness and even our capacity for compassion. Seeing characters in fiction move through multiple examples of ways of acting in the world help illustrate in our minds how the world operates and more importantly, ways in which it could operate.

I am being too abstract. Time for an example. Let me quote myself, from my 2001 grad school paper: “Smith, who comes from the neighborhood she writes about in ‘White Teeth,’ makes a strong argument for the importance of integrated neighborhoods in the development of cross-racial relationships and friendships. While Archie retains some of his inherent racism, he forges a true friendship with Bangladeshi Samad and he marries a Jamaican.”

Don’t worry if you don’t know who Archie and Samad are. I quote my former grad student self because it seems that many of the things that

divide us as a nation, as racial and ethnic groups, across class and gender, come from physical and psychological distance, from not having to deal with each other in any meaningful way.

Somehow, two completely, wildly different men forge a dear friendship. How? Why? Because they were in the Army together, and then, after several years of never seeing or communicating with each other, they randomly move to the same neighborhood. I’m simplifying here a bit, I know, but again, that drives home my point. In a great novel, the creation
