City to consider incentive request for condo project

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

In the midst of an overhaul of the city’s public incentives policy, a request to incentivize a downtown condominium project will go before the Lawrence

City Commission at its meeting Tuesday.

The developer of the project is seeking two forms of incentives: Neighborhood Revitalization Act and Industrial Revenue Bonds. Together, the incentives have a value of about $1.3 million,

according to a city analysis.

In June, the commission refused to consider tax breaks for the project at the level requested by the developer. The incentives request has since been decreased, and an affordable housing component has been added.

Former City Commissioner Bob Schumm — who served on the commission from 1979 to 1981, 1987 to 1993 and 2011 to 2015 — owns the property and is behind the development.

Schumm is requesting a 10-year, 75 percent prop-

erty tax rebate through the Neighborhood Revitalization Act. A sales tax exemption for the costs of construction materials, via an Industrial Revenue Bond, is also being sought.

New plaque notes little-known history of KU’s oldest building But it’s not planned to be mounted on exterior

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

The oldest building on the University of Kansas campus now has a bronze plaque noting its history, though the plaque isn’t planned to be mounted in a place passersby can see.

The marker presents a brief story of the small stone stable in the hillside at 1132 W. 11th St., now an annex for KU’s Max Kade

Center for German-American Studies. That history starts with the fiery Civil War-era abolitionist who first built the stable on his land in 1862, and includes how he contributed to the early propagation of the term Jayhawk before it was adopted as the KU mascot.

THE MAX KADE ANNEX AT 1132 W. 11TH ST. is the oldest building on the University of Kansas campus. It was built in 1862 as a stable on property owned by James H. Lane, a prominent abolitionist and one of Kansas’ first senators.

so must you notify the proslavery hell-hounds to clear out, or vengeance will overtake them! Jayhawks remember, ‘Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord,’ but we are His agents!”

Lane, the Jayhawk, the old stable and the Kade Annex plaque came together as a project of KU professor emeritus of German and retired Kade Center director Baron Frank Baron, though the elements have little to do with German.

Baron was studying the autobiography of an Austrian immigrant named August Bondi, who joined the anti-slavery military after settling in the area, when he came across Lane’s rallying cry invoking the fierce Jayhawk.

According to Bondi, Lane issued the midnight appeal in Linn County to a group of volunteer soldiers assigned to protect free-state settlers from pro-slavery Border Ruffians, Baron wrote in his booklet “James H. Lane and the Origins of the Kansas Jayhawk.”

Lane was one of the first elected senators of Kansas, and a charismatic yet controversial figure in the Free State movement.

As a Union general, he led violent raids on Missouri including the sacking of Osceola in 1861. He also recruited the first African-American infantry to fight for the Union in 1862.

The plaque notes Lane’s significance along with the Jayhawk quote.

It also highlights the history of the Max Kade Annex.

Incentive CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The NRA has a more than $1 million value, while the IRB is about $275,000.

In October, the commission reviewed changes to the city’s policies for economic development incentives after more than a year of review by advisory boards. Incentives were a major topic in the most recent election of commissioners, with many concerned that they have been overused. A second draft of the policy is in the works and will eventually return to the commission for final approval.

The proposed downtown project would include a mix of condominiums, commercial space and office space at 800-815 Vermont St., which is currently a vacant lot. The five-story project will consist of commercial space for lease on the first floor, about 30 “entrepreneurial offices” on the second floor and condominiums on the remaining floors.

An underground parking garage will include 22 parking spaces.

Schumm is proposing that one of the 12 condominiums be designated

as an affordable housing unit that would be offered for sale through the Lawrence Tenants to Homeowners Program.

That one-bedroom condominium would be sold for about $95,000 — the market value of the property is estimated at about $246,785 — and designed as an affordable housing unit in perpetuity.

The request is being recommended by the Affordable Housing Advisory Board and the Public Incentives Review Committee.

City staff are also recommending the incentives be approved based on cost-benefit and gap analysis.

Cost-benefit analysis shows a 1.78 ratio for the city, meaning for every $1 in public incentives, $1.78 of benefit value is returned, and gap analysis supports the request. The gap analysis is meant to show that the incentives are required — or fill a gap in funding — in order for the project to be financially feasible.

In addition to being approved by the city, NRA requests must be approved by the county and school district, which will consider their participation at upcoming meetings.

The City Commission will convene at 5:45 p.m.

Medicine dean and a private physician in Lawrence, built a limestone home next to it and used the stable as a garage, according to KU’s buildings directory. Sudler bequeathed his house and garage to KU in 1956.

The stable housed the KU student radio station, KJHK, from 1975 to 2010 — the period during which it came to be called “The Shack.”

“The Shack” was living up to its nickname when the Kade Center began efforts to take it over after KJHK moved out, Baron said.

“It was really a rundown place,” he said.

Under Baron’s leadership, the Kade Center annexed the stable in 2012.

It was agreed that the building would house the archival materials of the New York Turner Society, which helped fund a renovation of the building along with the New York-based Max Kade Foundation, Baron said.

That’s when Baron researched the building’s

BIRTHS

history and decided a tribute would be fitting.

He said an exterior mural was considered but that it did not get approval from KU’s Public Art on Campus Committee.

So Baron decided to pursue a plaque and raised about $3,000 in donations to commission it.

Baron retired as Kade Center director in 2013, and the plaque was completed and cast this summer, without prior approval by the art committee to be mounted outside the building.

The Kade Annex is not regularly open to the public, though scholars may visit to view the New York Turner Society collection by appointment.

Baron said he envisioned the plaque on the building’s exterior but no longer has much say now that he’s retired.

“The plaque, I think, is really beautiful as a work of art. It gives the fundamental information that you need to know about the building and then about the Jayhawk, because that’s not necessarily something everybody knows,” Baron said.

“If it’s inside and you have so little time or occasion to show it, it’s in a way lost. It’s sad for me to have it inside.”

Current co-directors of the Kade Center are academic director Lorie Vanchena, associate professor of Germanic languages and literatures, and managing director Vanchena J i m m y Morrison, lecturer in Germanic languages and literatures.

Vanchena said the plaque did not have approval through the appropriate university body for hanging on the building’s exterior.

“We are planning to mount the plaque on the interior, not the exterior,” she said. “This was

OTHER CONTACTS lll

Lawrence artist Andy Foat, who works at KU as the university records custodian, was commissioned to create the plaque.

Foat estimated that the plaque, at 21 inches wide and 28 inches high, weighs somewhere between 50 and 100 pounds.

It was cast at Eligius Bronze in Kansas City, Mo., from a relief Foat carved in redwood.

The plaque features an image of Lane on top of Mount Oread. He’s astride a resting horse with a panoramic landscape behind him. Lane’s stable can be seen in the distance at the left.

Foat said he drew from a number of archival photos of Lane and an 1890s photo of the landscape to create the image.

Though Lane was known also for radicalism and violent acts, Foat said he depicted him in a watchful state for the plaque.

“It’s arguable that without him, the proslavery forces would have prevailed,” Foat said. “When they were defending Lawrence during the Bleeding Kansas days, they were extra vigilant of threats from the east, so he probably would have been up on Mount Oread looking for signs of trouble.”

Associated Press

Poplar Bluff, Mo. — A Missouri man who spent eight years behind bars for murder has been acquitted in a retrial.

Michael Amick, now 40, was initially convicted of second-degree murder and second-degree arson in the 2008 death of his wife’s grandmother in southeast Missouri. The Missouri Supreme Court ordered a retrial last year.

The jury at his new trial acquitted Amick on Thursday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

The conviction was overturned when the Supreme Court ruled that the trial judge broke state law when he called back

to the home where the crime took place.

“Essentially, he was falsely convicted in 2011 of a murder and arson he didn’t do,” Woody said.

Amick’s wife, Sara, said she lacked the words to describe her feelings.

“It’s about time.

We’ve known all along and it just had to be proven that he was innocent. It was the state’s job to provide evidence and they didn’t have evidence,” the schoolteacher said.

Oregon County Sheriff-elect Eric King, who was chief deputy at the time of the crime, testified on behalf of the prosecution. He declined to comment.

Topeka — The only planned public hearing on the biggest utility merger in Kansas history is scheduled for 6 p.m. today in suburban Topeka.

The Kansas Corporation Commission has arranged for the hearing on the proposed $12.2 billion acquisition of Westar by Great Plains Energy, the parent company of Kansas City Power & Light, to take place at the Topeka-area Shawnee Heights High School, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Customers in other parts of the state will be able to watch the hearing live or view a replay at the KCC website. They can also submit comments in writing or online at the site.

If the merger’s approved, Westar and KCPL will become a single electric company straddling the Kansas/ Missouri border, with 1.5 million customers.

The last comparable commission decision was about 25 years ago, when Wichita-based Kansas Gas & Electric Co. fought off a KCPL acquisition attempt and instead merged with Topekabased Kansas Power &

‘‘

The big question is whether or not this acquisition is in the public interest.”

— David Nickel, consumer counsel for the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board

Light to become Western Resources. Western Resources was later renamed Westar Energy.

David Nickel, consumer counsel for the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board, is urging Westar and KCPL customers who don’t live close to Topeka to weigh in on the merger via the written comment route. Nickel said CURB, the state agency that represents home and small-business customers, will read all the comments, as should the commissioners themselves. CURB can and probably will use some of the comments in its own testimony, he said.

“The big question in our mind is whether or not this acquisition is in the public interest,” Nickel said.

The commission isn’t required to hold public hearings, but it’s customary to do so in important

cases. The commission has also previously held more than one hearing at different locations or provided teleconference links so residents far from the hearing site could speak directly to the commission.

Kansas law requires that merging utilities prove the deal will actually benefit the rate-paying public, not just the company’s shareholders.

Simply not harming customers isn’t enough, he said.

“The questions I would have, were I a member of the audience, would be: Is this going to be a reliable system afterwards? Are there savings that we’re going to enjoy by virtue of this? . How is this going to affect the local economy? Are we going to lose jobs in various locations such as Wichita and south-central Kansas?”

Nickel said.

Westar is one of Topeka’s biggest private employers, and thousands of Kansans, including retired company workers, own stock in Westar. Under the acquisition terms, Westar stockholders are proposed to receive $51 in cash, plus $9 worth of stock in Great Plains, for each share of Westar.

Cyclist was mentor to lawyer who settled her fatality claim

By Steve Fry The Topeka Capital-Journal

Topeka — A Colorado lawyer who litigated a civil settlement for the widower of a Washburn University art professor, who was killed in 2015 when her bicycle was struck by a pickup truck as she rode on a Crawford County road, had a series of ties to the professor.

Besides litigating the settlement, Megan Hottman, who has a cycling law practice based in Golden, Colo., also knew Glenda Taylor, the cyclist who was head of the WU art department and a well-known faculty member when she was killed in the wreck on June 7, 2015. Taylor, 60, a competitive bicyclist, was warming up to ride in the Kansas State Time Trials when she was struck.

Todd M. Kidwell, the 38-year-old pickup truck driver from Chanute, recently pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a felony, in Taylor’s death. As part of the plea, Kidwell also pleaded guilty to unlawful passing of a bicyclist within 3 feet, a traffic infraction. A second infraction of reckless driving was dismissed.

Hottman and Taylor had other links.

Hottman said Taylor mentored her during her earlier bike racing days. Hottman met Taylor after she graduated from law school, when she worked as a judicial clerk in the Jackson County, Mo., Circuit Court. Hottman lived in nearby Mission.

Taylor “was one of those women who was always smiling, who was always positive,” Hottman said.

Taylor mentored many women who raced.

“She personally was responsible for bringing so many women into the sport,” Hottman said.

GLENDA TAYLOR, FIFTH FROM LEFT, is pictured in this 2011 file photo of the members of the Women’s Free State Racing Team. The competitive cyclist and former head of the Washburn University art department was killed last year when her bicycle was struck by a pickup truck as she rode on a Crawford County road.

“

(Glenda Taylor) personally was responsible for bringing so many women into the sport.”

— Megan Hottman, cycling law practitioner who litigated a civil settlement for Taylor’s widower

Hottman had another connection to the crash that claimed Taylor’s life.

After Taylor was struck and thrown 169 feet, Hottman’s father, Donavon Hottman, and a second rider came upon the crash site. They administered aid to Taylor, who was fatally injured. Donavon Hottman knew Taylor and her husband.

“I got a pretty distraught call from my parents,” Hottman said. Her father “really wanted to talk through it. I assured him he had done an amazing job at the (wreck) scene.”

Yet another link brought Hottman close to the case.

About a week before the wreck, another cyclist who was a lawyer mentioned Hottman in passing as a lawyer whose cycling law practice was developing. In turn, Taylor said something to her husband, Joe Saia.

After Taylor’s death, he recalled Hottman and contacted her.

Hottman had moved to Golden to work as a judicial clerk in the Jefferson County, Colo., District Court, then worked for a private law firm.

She was trying to find a way

to combine her life as a lawyer with her passion for cycling.

Cyclists who knew Hottman was a lawyer sometimes would ask her questions about the law, telling her someone they knew had been injured in a wreck.

The law firm she worked for gave her the go-ahead to handle a cycling case or two.

She had found her niche.

“I really enjoyed the work,” Hottman said.

In March 2010, she opened Hottman Law Office in Golden. Her practice’s website is TheCyclist-Lawyer.com.

Hottman’s solo law practice specializes 100 percent in cycling law. She reviews bicyclerelated contracts, but the bulk of her practice deals with personal injury cases for bicyclists injured in wrecks. Hottman also co-authored “Bicycle Accidents, Crashes and Collisions: Biomechanical, Engineering

and Legal Aspects,” a 384-page book focusing on legal issues surrounding bicycle accidents, crashes and collisions.

“I do (cases) all over the country. I feel really blessed,” she said.

Bicyclists have been killed in a few of the crashes Hottman has handled in more than six years. Her 15 to 20 cycling cases typically start and finish within a year, though a few require more than a year.

The fatalities are “really, really difficult cases,” Hottman said.

“It’s a sad reality I can even make a living representing bicyclists involved in vehiclebike wrecks,” she said.

Some motorists don’t understand that by law, cyclists have the same rights as motorists to use roads, Hottman said.

More bicyclists are riding now as people pedal bikes both to exercise and to save money rather than buying gas, she said.

Hottman declined to say how much her client received in the civil settlement with Kidwell, the motorist involved in Taylor’s death.

Kidwell will be sentenced Jan. 9. The pleas were made before Crawford County District Judge Lori Bolton Fleming in Girard, 145 miles southeast of Topeka.

The crash occurred on K-146 highway, a two-lane road, near the small town of Walnut.

The plea agreement was made with the consent of Taylor’s family, Crawford County Attorney Mike Gayoso said this past week. Before the pleas, Kidwell was charged with reckless second-degree murder.

Depending on whether Kidwell has a criminal history, the manslaughter conviction may carry a prison sentence ranging from two years and seven months to 11 years and four months.

Botched balloting keeps tiny Kansas town from dissolving Topeka (ap) — The central Kansas town of Frederick has dwindled over the decades to just 10 people, and its only real expense is a $55-amonth electric bill for a half-dozen or so street lights that illuminate the unpaved streets.

Some residents want to dissolve their city, but that hasn’t been easy.

For a community with nine registered voters, the tally at the ballot box last month was 13-7 in favor of keeping Frederick a thirdclass city. The three workers at the polling place 5 miles to the west handed out the wrong ballots to some voters living outside the city. Local and state officials, at a loss for what to do, are letting the results stand.

Either way, it’s unclear whether anything will

“

Frederick was incorporated in Rice County in 1909, and its population peaked at about 150 in the following year’s federal census. A description published a few years later called it “a shipping and trading point for a wealthy agricultural district” with good schools and “a number of churches.”

But the population dropped sharply in the 1930s and kept dwindling.

While the town has a grain elevator, a Baptist church is remembered with a stone marker; an abandoned one-cell jail and a closed, decades-old red-brick school building serve as reminders of the past, photos taken by The Hutchinson News show.

Residents get water from wells, have septic tanks and heat their homes with propane.

An 1872 state law sets high hurdles for dissolving a town. Absent a specific act of the Legislature, a majority of a city’s voters must petition its officials to put the issue on the ballot. Two-thirds of those voting must cast their ballots “against a city.”

It’s not impossible, though: Residents of Mildred in eastern Kansas’ Allen County dissolved their town last month.

The vote: 3-1.

The Hutchinson News first reported on the problems with Frederick’s vote. Rice County Clerk Alicia Showalter said voters outside Frederick who mistakenly received ballots including the city’s question didn’t alert poll workers.

The three-member Rice County Commission knew too many ballots

had been cast. But Chairman Bill Oswalt said it couldn’t determine which ones came from inside the town and didn’t want to invalidate votes in unaffected contests.

And because it was a local question, the results became final when the county commissioners certified them, said Bryan Caskey, elections director for the secretary of state’s office.

County officials are considering whether Frederick is allowed to have a special election or must wait until regularly scheduled municipal elections in November 2017.

“They’ve been muddling along for years,” Rice County Counselor Scott Bush said. “I guess it probably wouldn’t hurt for them to muddle along a little longer.”

Man files suit to stop wind farm Pratt (ap) — A Kansas farmer has filed a federal lawsuit to stop a new wind farm from operating out of concern for the endangered whooping crane.

Edwin Petrowsky of Pratt County filed the lawsuit last month seeking injunctions against NextEra Energy Resources, whose Ninnescah Wind Farm is scheduled to start operating next week, The Hutchinson News reported.

Petrowsky contends the wind farm is located in the bird’s flyway. At last count, there were an estimated 329 wild cranes in the flock that migrates between Canada and Texas.

Parts of the wind farm,

Says project threatens endangered cranes which will generate 200 megawatts of electricity that Westar Energy is under a 20-year contract to buy, are within 35 to 40 miles of the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and Cheyenne Bottoms — both designated as critical habitat for the whooping crane.

The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, another designated habitat, is also nearby.

“Whooping cranes have been recently documented to use the farmland in Pratt County for feeding while roosting at Critical Habitat areas,” Petrowsky states in the lawsuit.

The American Bird Conservancy also lists the Ninnescah project as one of the 10 most dangerous wind projects in the nation for birds and one of the worst for potential mortality of endangered species.

NextEra spokesman Steve Stengel says the company has worked with state and federal authorities and that the turbines’ placement took the birds’ migratory patterns into account.

“Whooping cranes generally fly higher than the heights of the turbines,” Stengel said. “But, in working with the agencies, we

have agreed to ongoing bird monitoring at the site.”

Petrowsky said his concern is with birds taking off and landing in the area for feeding.

The tallest flying bird in North America, the whooping crane takes long distances to reach flying altitude.

Petrowsky also contends the company has failed to obtain an “incidental taking permit” that would allow the incidental killing of some birds.

“Technically, until they get all these permits, they cannot put up the wind farm,” he said.

Extra safe K-10 The addition of signage reminding drivers of traffic flow is a better solution than installing a light.

T

he Kansas Department of Transportation is right to add signage and traffic control measures at the intersection of the South Lawrence Trafficway and Kasold Drive.

As configured, the intersection is “right-on, right-off” only. A barrier of vertical poles prevents drivers from using Kasold to cross the trafficway from Kansas Highway 10. Local officials have lobbied KDOT to install a traffic signal at the intersection, arguing that without the light, motorists would try to steer around the barrier and cross the trafficway at Kasold.

There was a three-vehicle accident Nov. 22 at the intersection that sent five people to local hospitals. A report from the Kansas Highway Patrol showed that the crash was caused when a Lawrence motorist was struck by oncoming traffic while trying to cross K-10. The wreck renewed calls for increased safety measures, including a traffic signal.

KDOT has rejected the traffic signal requests based on expense and long-term plans for the trafficway. That’s a justifiable approach. It’s not unreasonable to expect motorists to be able to follow the rules of the intersection as configured.

But it is proactive for KDOT to take measures to promote greater awareness among motorists that all traffic maneuvers crossing the highway’s center line are prohibited.

KDOT spokeswoman Kimberly Qualls said the measures will include 12 new permanent signs on the SLT and Kasold informing motorists that only right turns onto or off the highway are permitted. KDOT also plans to extend the solid-line pavement markings along the intersection’s acceleration and deceleration lanes by 100 feet and place delineator poles along those lane boundaries to channel motorists onto and off the highway. The changes are expected to be in place within the month.

As a temporary measure, electronic message boards were placed on the roadways last week.

KDOT officials met with city and county officials last week to discuss the changes. All were in agreement that the changes will improve safety at the intersection.

A traffic signal isn’t needed at Kasold and the South Lawrence Trafficway, but KDOT is to be commended for adding extra safety measures.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 5, 1916: l “The question of a years shorter school day, thoroughly ago threshed out at several meetIN 1916 ings of the board last year, was sprung again before a Lawrence board of education meeting last night by a large group of interested parents….

The chief point of the argument was that the children need more time in the open air while the sun is shining. Mrs. J. B. Whelan, who represented the opposition to a shorter day, pointed out that some children who attend the schools and who would be affected by a shorter day would return to homes where ventilation is poor and other conditions far from ideal. The decision of the board was deferred to a future meeting.” l “Dr. James Naismith, head of the University department of physical training, was chairman of a meeting of forty basketball officials and coaches at Kansas City last night.

Dr. Naismith originated the game which now is played in practically all parts of the world.” l “Washington. – President Wilson delivered his opening address to Congress today ... some suffrage invaders in the gallery dropped over the rail a banner which they had smuggled into the room in a handbag. It was yellow, the suffrage color, and bore in bold letters the inscription: ‘Mr. President what will you do for Woman’s suffrage?’ A page quickly snatched the banner from its place. The President looked up, but continued his reading without hesitation.”

Cuba’s economic future not bright Now that Fidel Castro is gone and the leaders of Canada, Mexico and other countries have made fools of themselves by praising the alleged accomplishments of a dictator who destroyed his country’s economy and executed thousands of people, it’s time to take a look at Cuba’s future. It doesn’t look good.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Most economists now agree that Raúl Castro faces a perfect storm of bad news that will make it difficult for Cuba’s economy to get back on its feet.”

In theory, things should get better. President Raúl Castro, 86, has proved to be more pragmatic than his older brother. He could have an easier time implementing the much-needed economic reforms that he announced at the VI Congress of the Communist Party in 2011 and that he vowed to speed up at the VII Congress earlier this year.

Raúl Castro’s small steps toward a Vietnam-styled, state-run form of capitalism were slowed down because of resistance from Fidel, who remained a powerful figure behind the throne.

Without Fidel, the hard-line “Fidelistas” would have less power to stop the reforms, the theory went.

But most economists now agree that Raúl Castro faces a perfect storm of bad news that will make it difficult for Cuba’s economy to get back on its feet.

“Cuba suffers today its worst economic crisis since the nineties,” says economist Carmelo Mesa Lago, a professor emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh who is one of the world’s leading analysts of the Cuban economy. “The projections are that the economy will stagnate or decline in 2016, and that the situation will worsen in 2017.”

First, Venezuela’s subsidized oil shipments to Cuba, which kept the island’s economy alive in recent years, fell by about 40 percent during the first six months this year, according to a Reuters news agency report. Venezuela’s economy is in a shambles because of the decline in world oil prices and disastrous economic policies, and its oil subsidies to Cuba are likely to continue falling, experts say.

Second, Cuba’s exports of medical services — a kind of modern-day slave trade through which the Cuban regime sends tens of thousands of physicians to Venezuela, Brazil and Angola and pockets the bulk of their salaries — may be endangered.

Venezuela has a hard time paying for these services, and Brazil’s new center-right govern-

ment may not renew these government-to-government contracts.

Third, Cuba’s production of nickel and sugar is depressed because of low commodity prices and the destruction of the country’s industries over the past 60 years. And, thanks to Fidel Castro’s revolution, Cuba today imports more than 70 percent of its food.

Fourth, tourism — the island’s biggest hope since President Barack Obama’s opening to Cuba in 2014 — may decline if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump follows through with his Nov. 28 threat to “terminate” Obama’s deal with the island. The return of U.S. airlines and cruise ships filled with American tourists to Cuba over the past year had helped drive up foreign tourism.

“The most optimistic forecast for Cuba is that after a few decades of struggle and reorientation, it will end up at the income level of the Dominican Republic,” wrote George Mason University economics professor Tyler Cowen in the Miami Herald.

He added that while the World Bank estimates Cuba’s GDP at $6,000 per cap-

Marine code provides lesson Every year, when he was commandant of the Marine Corps between 1995 and 1999, Gen. Charles Krulak and his wife would spend the week before Christmas baking hundreds of cookies, which they wrapped in small packages. At 4 a.m. on Christmas Day, Gen. Krulak would begin driving himself to every Marine guard post in the nearby WashingtonMaryland-Virginia area and deliver a package of cookies to each Marine whose turn it was to be pulling guard on Christmas Day. At Quantico, one of his stops, Krulak went to the command center and gave cookies to the young lance corporal on duty. The general asked the enlisted Marine who the officer of the day was.

The lance corporal answered, “Sir, it’s Brig. Gen. Mattis,’’ to which (as the commandant told Dr. Albert Pierce of the United States Naval Academy), Krulak replied, ‘’No, no, no. I know who Gen. Mattis is. I mean, who’s the officer of the day today, Christmas Day?’’ The young Marine was undoubtedly relieved when Gen. Mattis, in a duty uniform and with his sword, appeared.

When questioned by Krulak, he simply explained that the young officer who was scheduled to have duty on Christmas Day had a wife and family and so he, Gen. Mattis, took his place, convinced that it was better for a young father and husband to spend Christmas with his family.

Quick quiz: Can any of us name a prominent CEO,

“

Is there anyone who does not agree that ours would be a more humane and more just country and national community if the princes of Wall Street and the royalty of Washington accepted that officers eat last?”

university president or U.S. senator about whom a similar story — of decency and thoughtfulness toward those beneath him in rank — can be told? One of the reasons that a lot of people, including many former Marines, are both relieved and pleased with President-elect Donald J. Trump’s selection of this general to be secretary of defense is that James Mattis personifies the Marine Corps rule “Officers eat last.’’

The Marine officer does not eat until everyone subordinate to him — all the lance corporals and privates — has first been fed. Marines honor the principle that loyalty goes both down and up the chain of command. Is there anyone who does not

agree that ours would be a more humane and more just country and national community if the princes of Wall Street and the royalty of Washington accepted that officers eat last?

I have met Gen. Mattis, though I do not pretend to know him. But those whom I know who have served with him overwhelmingly salute his character, his intellect and his independence. He does not fawn on or flatter the powerful. He has never been an apple-polisher or anybody’s sycophant. After candidate Trump, during the campaign, advocated banning all Muslims from even entering the United States, Gen. Mattis was characteristically blunt: ‘’This kind of thing is causing us great damage right now, and it’s sending shock waves through this international system.’’

With the enormously respected Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford continuing as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and with Gen. Mattis as secretary of defense, the Marines, the smallest of our military forces, with just 182,000 on active duty, stand to have — to the resentment of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force — greater influence in the making and enforcing of our American foreign and defense policies than at any other time. And given the high quality of Gens. Mattis and Dunford, that should be welcome news for America and for the world.

ita, that measure is based on an unrealistic exchange rate.

Cuba’s real GDP is more likely not much higher than Nicaragua’s $2,000 per capita, he said.

“Had Cuba not had a communist revolution is 1959, it could have been one of the most successful Latin American economies,” Cowen wrote.

My opinion: Instead of praising a dictator who didn’t have the courage to compete in a free election in nearly six decades, the leaders of Mexico, Canada and other countries should have cited Cuba’s revolution as an example of a failed economic model, which is going from bad to worse.

If Trump plays his cards well — a big if — he will leave Cuba alone and not do anything that will give the Cuban dictatorship an excuse to roll back its timid reforms. Raúl Castro is scheduled to step down in early 2018, and his successors may have to concede what the vast majority of Cubans have already concluded: that communism is the longest — and bloodiest — road between capitalism and capitalism.

OAKLAND The death toll rose to 33 Sunday and could still climb after a massive weekend fire roared through this city’s “Ghost Ship,” a warehouse-turned-artist collective and popular party space.

Mayor Libby Schaaf said Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O’Malley had activated a criminal investigation team and that investigators were on the scene of the fire.

Schaaf said the families of seven victims had been notified and that officials would be releasing the names of the deceased “promptly.”

“It is with so much grief and so much compassion that we as your city family share with you this horrific news,” she said.

County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ray Kelly said about 35% to 40% of the building had been searched since Friday night’s blaze, so a final death toll could be days away.

“The number will go up,” Kelly said Sunday. “Firefighters are tired, exhausted. This is very emotional.”

He said the victims include “minors.” He added that some of the victims hailed from Europe and Asia.

Emotion overtakes onlookers Sunday at the scene of a warehouse fire in the Fruitvale district of Oakland.

“This will be a long and arduous process. We want to make sure we are respecting the victims and their families.”

Melinda Drayton, Oakland Fire Department battalion chief

Kelly also said one of the victims, whom he didn’t identify, was the son of a county sheriff’s deputy.

Asked about criminal charges in the blaze, Schaaf said engaging O’Malley’s criminal investigation team “allows a criminal investigation to be conducted — I believe it is a bit premature and I am not authorized to make that announcement. Only the district atv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Donald Trump and aides braced for a busy week Sunday by threatening tariffs on companies that move jobs overseas, while downplaying China’s protest of an unprecedented phone call between the American presidentelect and the leader of Taiwan.

Just days after praising a deal providing tax breaks to a company for keeping jobs in the U.S., Trump renewed his threat to slap tariffs on the products of companies that outsource in the future.

“There will be a tax ... soon” of 35% for companies that go overseas and try to sell goods “back across the border,” Trump said during a Sunday tweet storm.

Trump aides, meanwhile, described the president-elect’s call on Friday with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as congratulatory in nature and said it does not signal a change in the “one China” policy toward the government in Beijing, at least not right now.

“I think I would just say to our counterparts in China that this was a moment of courtesy,” Vice President-elect Mike Pence told NBC’s Meet the Press, noting that Trump had a similar congratulatory call with China President Xi Jinping, and “that was not a discussion about policy.”

China, which claims Taiwan is a renegade province, protested Trump’s call.

Pence also told NBC that Trump is preparing to take office on Jan. 20, and “we’ll deal with policy at that time.”

In putting together an administration, Trump is planning more appointments and post-election rallies in the days ahead.

Dakota pipeline dealt blow weeks before new administration Army says it will explore other routes Kevin Hardy

Des Moines Register OCETI SAKOWIN CAMP, N. D.

A day that began with prayers ended with victory dances Sunday as Native Americans and environmentalists here celebrated the news that the Obama administration would halt construction of the Dakota Access pipeline.

In the most substantial blow yet to the much-contested pipeline, the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-

neers denied an easement for the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe, a Corps reservoir on the Missouri River in North Dakota. That remained the only contested portion of the 1,172-mile pipeline, which is nearly completed.

Dakota Access did not respond to a request for comment Sunday evening, but a pro-pipeline group called the decision “purely political.”

The pipeline was set to cross the river a half-mile from the Standing Rock Sioux reservation border. Tribal members have for months protested the project, worried that a pipeline breach could threaten their drinking wa-

ter supplies.

“Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Army’s assistant secretary for civil works said in a statement Sunday afternoon. “The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.”

Darcy said the pipeline should undergo an environmental impact statement — a process that could drag on for months. The decision means construction will

likely not be completed during Obama’s remaining weeks in office.

President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, widely viewed as more friendly to energy interests, could reverse the Corps’ decision.

The news spread quickly across the snow-covered protest camp in North Dakota.

Craig Stevens, spokesman for the pro-pipeline Midwest Alliance for Infrastructure Now, said the decision was a rejection of the entire regulatory and judicial system, as well as a repudiation of the Corps’ previous decisions to green-light the project.

In Japan, remorse for war atrocities Company apologizes for slave labor camp’s treatment of POWs Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

HANAWA , JAPAN

When Candie Blankman’s father was released from a forced-labor camp here at the end of World War II, he was near death from starvation, beatings and lack of medical care.

He and 500 other American prisoners of war had spent nearly a year digging copper ore under slave-like conditions in a camp operated by then-Mitsubishi Mining Co. Eight died, and many others never fully recovered from the physical and emotional damage they endured.

Last week, representatives of former POWs and the mining company took a major step toward reconciliation with a formal apology and dedication of a memorial plaque to honor those who suffered and died at the Hanawa mine.

“Our purpose here is to explain the hardships that wartime POWs endured and express our deepest remorse and sincerest apologies. We are determined to do everything we can to create a world in which this can never happen again,” Hikaru Kimura, a senior official at Mitsubishi Materials Corp., the successor company to Mitsubishi Mining, said at Tuesday’s ceremony.

The action days before the 75th anniversary of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor comes amid the nation’s growing willingness to examine its wartime past.

“This was a very bold and courageous step for Mitsubishi,” said Blankman, a Presbyterian pastor from San Clemente, Calif., who attended the dedication. “Yes, it’s late in coming. But what matters is that it has come. It’s not an easy thing to do. Mitsubishi is taking very direct ownership of what happened here, and that’s the

right thing.”

Blankman’s father, Army Sgt. Kenneth Early Davis, was captured in the Philippines in the opening months of the war. He survived the infamous Bataan Death March and more than two years of imprisonment in the Philippines before being transported to Japan in September 1944. He died in 2006.

Visitors enter a former copper mine in northern Japan where American POWs were forced to work in slave-like conditions during World War II; it is now a popular tourist attraction. wooden barracks with little or no heat, scant food, no medical care, little rest and little hope of survival.

Although some camp guards showed extraordinary kindness, beatings and abuse were the norm, said Jim Nelson, whose father became blind while at the camp because of poor nutrition and working as a welder without eye protection.

“It was slave labor. My father survived only with the help of his friends,” said Nelson, a retired history teacher from Burlingame, Kan., who also attended the ceremony. Nelson’s father, James Leonard Nelson, was captured on Corregidor island in the Philippines. He died in 2005.

The Hanawa plaque is believed

to be the first such memorial to American POWs erected by a major Japanese company, according to Kinue Tokudome, executive director of the U.S.-Japan Dialogue on POWs, a California-based support organization.

The Hanawa mine was closed in the 1970s but is now operated as a popular tourist attraction; the memorial is easily visible just outside the mine’s main entrance.

The plaque reads in part: “Working conditions for the POWs were exceedingly harsh and left deep mental and physical wounds that the lapse of time would not heal. … Mitsubishi Materials offers its heartfelt apologies to all former POWs who were forced to work under appalling conditions.”

The Japanese government issued a formal apology in 2009 for the treatment of American POWs. Still, “the level of sincerity and commitment Mitsubishi Materials showed by building this plaque is unprecedented in Japan’s dealing with its World War II history,” Tokudome said.

About 27,000 U.S. troops were captured by the Japanese during the war; of those, about 11,000 died in captivity, according to the U.S.-Japan Dialogue on POWs. “To me, this is a sacred place,” Nelson said. “Despite all the horrible things that happened to him, my father never hated the Japanese. He put all that behind him. I think this act will bring ... closure to some of the families of the veterans who worked here.”

Trump vows consequences v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Marine Corps general, for secretary of Defense. Trump is also weighing a number of candidates for secretary of State.

During his Sunday series of tweets, Trump said no company should leave the United States because he plans to cut taxes and regulations, and those that do move jobs overseas will face consequences.

“Any business that leaves our country for another country, fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country, and then thinks it will sell its product back into the U.S. without retribution or consequence, is WRONG!” he said.

Trump and aides celebrated a deal with the Carrier heat and air conditioning company, which abandoned plans to move some jobs to Mexico after the state of Indiana provided $7 million in tax incentives.

Even some Trump supporters, such as former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, bashed the Carrier deal as “crony capitalism.”

Now, critics are taking aim at Trump’s revival of a threat he made during the presidential campaign, saying his claim to tax products made by U.S. companies overseas will lead to higher prices for American consumers.

“Pres-Elect Trump means well,” tweeted Sen. Ben Sasse, RNeb. “But won’t his 35% tariff idea raise prices on American families? How would it not be a new 35% tax on families?”

Chris Edwards, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, says introducing the 35% tariff “would have all kinds of negative and damaging repercussions.”

For consumers, it could mean paying more for goods, he said. It could also affect U.S. multinational businesses who seek to broaden their reach globally by exporting goods into other countries.

“When, for example, Dupont or GE or other American firms set up facilities in Europe or Latin America or wherever, the main purpose is to penetrate those markets and to expand their global sales” which boosts U.S. exports, Edwards says.

In his Sunday tweets, Trump said his 35% tax “will make leaving (the U.S.) financially difficult.”

Trump appeared to be provoked by news that Rexnord, the Indiana-based bearing manufacturer, is planning to move jobs to Mexico.

“Rexnord of Indiana is moving to Mexico and rather viciously firing all of its 300 workers,” Trump tweeted over the weekend. “This is happening all over our country. No more!”

The Taiwan phone call also triggered a flap.

No U.S. president has spoken officially with a leader of Taiwan since the United States recognized mainland China as the sole government of the Chinese people in 1979. Under the “one China” policy, the U.S. acknowledges the Beijing government’s claim that Taiwan is part of China.

Hitting the Sunday show circuit, Trump officials said the reaction to the Sunday phone call is overblown.

“It was just a phone call at this point,” Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Fox News Sunday, and “people shouldn’t read too much into it.”

In its statement on the call, Taiwan said the two leaders “exchanged pleasantries and shared their views and principles regarding key policy matters, particularly the need to promote domestic economic development and strengthen national defense so that citizens can enjoy better lives and increased security.”

The Friday conversation with the Taiwanese president was the latest in a series of phone calls between Trump and foreign leaders that have raised eyebrows in the diplomatic community.

In a call with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Trump offered “to play any role you want me to play to address and find solutions to the country’s problems,” according to a readout

“Pres-Elect Trump means well. But won’t his 35% tariff idea raise prices on American families?”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., on Twitter

from Pakistan.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said Trump endorsed his aggressive war on drugs, one in which more than 2,000 people have been killed by police in what critics describe as vigilante justice.

In its protest to the U.S. government over Trump’s call with the Taiwanese president, Beijing said, “There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Chinese territory.” The statement called the one China policy “ the political foundation of China-US relations.”

State-run media in China took a lower-key approach, with China Daily saying there is no need to “over-interpret” the Taiwan phone call, attributing it to the New York businessman’s “inexperience in dealing with foreign affairs.”

Safety investigation opened last month v CONTINUED FROM 1B

torney is allowed to make the announcement of criminal charges.”

The fire broke out during an electronic-music party at the warehouse, part of which had been converted to makeshift art studios and living areas. The party apparently took place in a large open space on the second floor accessible by a single wooden staircase.

Melinda Drayton, Oakland Fire Department battalion chief, said firefighters breached a wall overnight and were attempting to systematically and safely remove debris “bucket by bucket” from the battered building. She said firefighters had not yet reached the location where the fire began, and investigators were far from determining the cause of the blaze.

“This will be a long and arduous process,” she said. “We want to make sure we are respecting the victims and their families and ensuring our firefighters’ safety.”

The building sits in Fruitvale, a neighborhood with a large Latino population a few miles southeast of downtown.

Chris Nechodom, 30, a photographer and filmmaker from Richmond, Calif., was visiting a friend on the first floor of the warehouse when the fire started. He told USA TODAY he thought at first it might be coming from a fog machine at the party above. But soon he was shouting so people fleeing the fire could follow his voice to-

ward the exit.

Finally, he had inhaled so much smoke he had to go outside.

“I’m just praying and thanking the higher power that I made it out,” he said.

The electronic-music party featured Golden Donna, the stage name for Wisconsin musician Joel Shanahan. Shanahan told the Madison, Wis., alternative weekly Isthmus that he was alive but “far from OK” after the tragedy.

Shanahan said he watched helplessly from across the street as the building burned. He said he decided to cut short his West Coast tour.

Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed said it took about five hours to douse the blaze. The building, which did not appear to have sprinklers, also did not have clear exit path, she said.

City officials have confirmed that building authorities had opened an investigation just last month into complaints about the safety of the structure. That inquiry was ongoing when the fire struck.

Planning and Building Director Darin Ranelletti said the building’s owners had no permits to hold parties or create living spaces in the building. He said a department inspector had attempted to enter the building last month while responding to a complaint but was unable to gain access.

Aetna, Humana face federal antitrust lawsuit Fight comes as concern rises over consolidation deals Roger Yu

@ByRogerYu USA TODAY

Lawyers for insurance giants Aetna and Humana will begin battling government antitrust lawyers Monday in a Washington, D.C., court, seeking to get legal clearance to complete their planned $37 billion merger.

Worried that the deal would raise prices and lower benefits for customers, the Department of Justice, eight states and the District of Columbia sued to block the deal. The outcome of the trial, to be presided by U.S. District Judge John Bates, could have significant ramifications on how seniors buy Medicare and the insurance options available to individuals who are not reliant on employer coverage. If the deal falls through, Humana could get a $1 billion breakup fee from Aetna.

The legal fight is unfolding at a time when federal regulators are showing greater concern for the consolidation in the health insur-

ance market. The Justice Department also is in the midst of a trial to block Anthem’s deal to buy Cigna for $54 billion. Those two insurers cover about 17% of the U.S. population and regulators argue that consolidation of the market for private health insurance for employers and individuals would lessen competition, harming consumers, doctors and hospitals.

Eyeing the lucrative market for aging Baby Boomers, Aetna, based in Hartford, Conn., struck a deal in early July to buy Louisville-based Humana, the largest provider of the private-market option for Medicare, called Medicare Advantage. Aetna is the fourth-largest Medicare Advantage seller.

The post-merger company would create the largest seller of Medicare Advantage plans, covering 980,000 of the 1.6 million seniors covered under Medicare Advantage.

The combined company would be the Medicare Advantage monopoly in 70 counties, the Justice Department says. “The proposed merger likely would cause seniors to pay significantly higher premiums and receive significantly reduced benefits,” the Justice

2014 PHOTO JESSICA HILL, AP

Aetna argues that the merger wouldn’t hurt health insurance competition and says traditional Medicare is still an option.

“Molina’s previous attempts to market individual plans have been utter failures.”

Department of Justice in a pre-trial brief

Department wrote in its pre-trial brief Nov. 23.

Aetna argues that the merger wouldn’t hurt competition because seniors who don’t want Medicare Advantage plans can continue to opt for traditional

Medicare, which is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Justice Department erred in excluding traditional Medicare in its competition analysis, Aetna says.

“Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage are functional substitutes, and CMS treats — and regulates — both kinds of Medicare that way,” the company says.

To assuage regulators, AetnaHumana agreed to sell their Medicare Advantage business in some markets to Long Beachbased Molina Healthcare. “Any divestitures to Molina would ensure that the merger will give rise to no anti-competitive effects,”

the companies say.

But regulators doubt Molina has the wherewithal to be a viable competitor. Molina entered 63 counties to market Medicare Advantage plans since 2008, but it now has only 424 individuals enrolled in six counties in the U.S. Molina is “a Medicaid specialist with junk-bond-rated debt,” the Justice Department says. “Molina’s previous attempts to market individual (Medicare Advantage) plans have been utter failures.”

Also at issue is Aetna-Humana’s commitment to the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — which created the private-market health insurance exchanges in 2010. The merger, the Justice Department says, would lead to a loss of competition on the public exchanges in 17 counties in Florida, Georgia and Missouri. “The public exchanges also rely on vigorous competition among insurers,” it said.

Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini, anticipating the antitrust scrutiny, told the Justice Department on July 5 in a letter that blocking the deal “would have a negative financial impact on Aetna and would impair Aetna’s ability to continue its support” of Obamacare.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen) lead IMDb’s top 10 stars of 2016.

Robbie (No. 1) and Clarke (No. 2) are part of a class of actresses with powerful characters who dominated the list, determined by page views of the movie site’s 250 million monthly unique visitors.

Stranger Things’ 12-year-old star Millie Bobby Brown landed third, along with Deadpool’s Morena Baccarin (No. 5), Wonder Woman Gal Gadot (No. 6), The Danish Girl Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (No. 7), Star Wars: The Force Awakens heroine Daisy Ridley (No. 8) and The Girl on a Train’s Haley Bennett (No. 9).

“These actresses are portraying remarkable female characters at the center of movie action this year, often protagonists in genres where women just didn’t excel before: action, comic books and sci-fi,” says Keith Simanton, IMDb’s senior film editor.

Robbie has been a force on the annual list since breaking out as Leonardo DiCaprio’s screen wife in 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street (she was third in 2014 and 2015).

In 2016, she starred as Jane Clayton in The Legend of Tarzan and bat-wielding antihero Quinn, who broke out of Suicide Squad’s pack.

* Determined by total page views in 2016

ALEX BAILEY, WARNER

Emilia Clarke was one to watch with TV’s Game of Thrones, and she clicked with Sam Claflin in the film Me Before You. “She just popped. People just got it,” Simanton says.

Clarke maintained her second position from 2015’s list as GoT’s dragon queen, further boosted by her role in the sleeper hit Me Before You with Sam Claflin.

“Emilia’s obviously on the list because of Game of Thrones. But you cannot dismiss how popular Me Before You was,” Simanton says.

Tom Hardy, who topped 2015’s top 10 list, hit No. 4 for 2016, alongside his The Revenant co-star Leonardo DiCaprio (No. 10), who won his first Oscar in February.

“The Revenant was the talk of winter’s awards season, and these guys are huge stars,” Simanton says.

Brown also leads IMDb’s top 10 breakout stars of 2016, featuring stars who landed among the site’s annual 100 for the first time in

their careers. As the buzz-cut supernatural Eleven in the Netflix series, Brown prompted curiosity and Internet searches. “Millie Bobby Brown is a classic example of people wanting to know, ‘Who is that?’ ” Simanton says.

Brie Larson was fifth among breakouts after 2015’s Room, for which she won a best-actress Oscar. She followed that with two event movies, Kong: Skull Island and Captain Marvel.

The breakout list also featured Evan Rachel Wood (No. 6), Dolores Abernathy in HBO’s Westworld, and 50-year-old Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who made an impact as bat-smashing Negan in AMC’s The Walking Dead.

“The Walking Dead is finally getting Jeffrey Dean Morgan truly recognized,” Simanton says.

“That’s pretty cool.”

THE HEROES HAVE SQUAD GOALS.

Spoilers! Some plot points are discussed, so if you want to go into Rogue One as fresh as possible, read no further.

There’s no signature opening crawl. But from the very start, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story makes a strong statement about embracing its place in the sci-fi universe while also pushing the status quo of the massively popular franchise.

Journalists got a sneak peek this week at 25 minutes from the first stand-alone Star Wars movie (in theaters Dec. 16), which introduces the backstory of new heroine Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), a key member of the Rebel Alliance group tasked with stealing the plans for the Empire’s Death Star (famously blown up in 1977’s Star Wars). From the looks of things, the new film is taking audiences to new worlds and adding some spy-game spin rather than stick-

At the same time, a shuttle carrying Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and his Imperial Death Trooper

My mother-in-law has made a wonderful grandmother, but she has constantly criticized my weight, my hairstyle, what I feed my children and how I dress and discipline them.

She always does this out of earshot of her husband and son.

I have kept my mouth shut to keep the peace, and I respect my dear father-in-law and husband too much to tell her off and cause a family rift.

Hedonists rich and not on Bravo People don’t watch Bravo reality shows for the sociology.

Perhaps they should. ‘‘Timber Creek Lodge’’ (9 p.m., TV-14) becomes the latest to explore the upstairs-downstairs relationships between clients and staff. ‘‘Lodge’’ is set at an ultraexpensive ski resort in British Columbia.

Part of the fun, if not education, of watching a series like ‘‘Downton Abbey’’ or ‘‘Upstairs Downstairs’’ was exploring the clear distinctions between social strata. While it would be untrue to say that there are no class distinctions at ‘‘Timber Creek Lodge,’’ one could easily say that everybody is lacking in class.

Reality television asserts itself as the great leveler here.

Everybody is on camera, ready to perform. One rooted for the scullery maids on ‘‘Downton’’ because of their striving attitude and determination to make something of themselves, even as the lords and ladies of the house weren’t terribly sure of their future. Here, even the cleaning staff seems deluded into the notion that they have ‘‘arrived’’ merely by living, toiling and scrubbing in proximity to other people’s money — and under the guise of hundreds of cameras.

Jenna, an untrained housekeeper, describes herself as ‘‘basically homeless,’’ a fact that may evoke momentary sympathy. Then she reveals that she was a former professional cheerleader for the Dallas Mavericks who lost her job for ‘‘fraternizing’’ with the players. Now there’s a character born for reality TV. To put a lie to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the rich here are not so different than you and me, or at least the staff. Their hedonistic imaginations seem as circumscribed as the toilet scrubbers who wait upon them and submit to their tantrums. Life, at both sides of this caste system, appears to be defined by the desire for one unending bachelor party. ‘‘Timber Creek Lodge’’ is a posh and expensive resort with every amenity known to the pampered. There isn’t a book in sight.

Jayhawks drop the ball at Alabama in OT

CHIEFS 29, FALCONS 28

THE BERRY BEST

J-W Staff Reports

Tuscaloosa, Ala. — Alabama tied the game with a three-pointer at the end of regulation and defeated Kansas, 71-65 in overtime, in women’s basketball Sunday in Coleman Coliseum.

15 points.

Junior forward Chay— Alabama la Cheadle coach Kristy added 12 Curry points and 11 rebounds, and senior forward Jada Brown added 11 points. Junior guard Jessica Washington totaled eight points and 10 rebounds.

Alabama’s Hannah Cook sank a three-pointer at the end of regulation to tie the game, and Alabama went on to outscore Kansas by six in overtime. Alabama is now 7-0 for the first time since the 2000-01 season, while the loss drops Kansas to 3-4.

“This was a good experience for us, one that was much needed,” Alabama coach Kristy Curry said.

“We really had some things that we didn’t do well there in the first half and got in some foul trouble. We came back out the second half and just kind of stayed the course. We didn’t shoot the ball well and, on a day when you don’t shoot the ball well, you just keep shooting it. We kept telling them we had a lot of confidence in them, and the free throws and threes we missed earlier in the game, I guess you can say we made them when they counted the most, so that’s what’s important.”

Junior Quanetria Bolton led Alabama with 18 points and nine rebounds, and juniors Meoshonti Knight and Cook added 17 points and 10 points, respectively.

KU led by as many as five points in the fourth quarter. With 10 seconds to go, and the Tide down by one, Meoshonti Knight fouled Calvert to stop the clock, so time would remain should Alabama get the ball back.

Calvert hit both of her free throws, giving the Jayhawks a three-point lead. With three seconds to go, Cook took a straight-on shot from beyond the arc that tied the game at 56.

In overtime, Alabama scored 13 of the final 18 points.

Alabama shot 30.7 percent (23-75), and Kansas hit 31.1 percent (23-74) from the floor.

KU will return to Allen Fieldhouse to face Harvard at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The Kansas men’s basketball team is on a tear from three-point range so far this season, and few players have been as dialed in from deep as junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

In the last three games alone — including Saturday’s 89-74 victory over Stanford — the Ukrainian Jayhawk has knocked in more than half of threepoint attempts and is now shooting .450 from long distance through the first eight games of the 2016-17 season.

A career .361 shooter from deep, this was supposed to be the season that Mykhailiuk showed he was capable of doing more. Partly because of opportunity and partly because of his suddenly solid experience level, Mykhailiuk’s summer playing back home with the Ukrainian national team both put the ball back in his hands and made him comfortable making plays again.

However, being back in the States and sharing backcourt minutes with three of the best playmakers in

Conference championships matter. Head-to-head matters.

Strength of schedule matters.

Every game counts, though some seem to count more than others and good luck figuring out which ones count most.

This and more is what the College Football Playoff selection committee sorts through to pick the four best teams in the country.

If consistency, certainty and clear-cut criteria are what you crave, this may not be the sport for you. Yes, the goal posts move from season to season.

That may be the way it is for awhile — at least until the playoff grows up.

“Every year is going to be different,” CFP executive director Bill Hancock said. “Football seasons are like snowflakes, they’re all different. Next year we’ll be standing here talking about some other way it fell out. And that’s great.”

It worked out great Sunday for Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Washington. Not so great if you root for Penn State.

No. 1 Alabama (13-0) will face No. 4 Washington (12-1) in one semifinal and second-seeded Clemson (12-1) meets thirdseeded Ohio State (11-1) in the other on Dec. 31.

The committee stayed with the same top four it picked going into championship weekend, leaving out No. 5 Penn State (11-2) even though the Nittany Lions won the Big Ten title game and beat Ohio State earlier in the season.

The Buckeyes are the first team to reach the playoff in its three-year history without winning their conference.

Many questioned why Ohio State deserved a spot, especially over Penn State. Selection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt made it clear that the 12-person committee did not.

AP Golf Writer

Nassau, Bahamas (ap) — The return of Tiger Woods was more about the big picture than any of his big numbers.

And that started with the sight of that red shirt on Sunday.

Woods grumbled about three more double bogeys in the final round of the Hero World Challenge. Considering how badly he has felt in the 15 months since he last played, he still was able to keep it in perspective.

“It feels good Woods to be back out here playing again, competing and trying to beat the best players in the world,” Woods said. “I missed it. I love it.”

He even loved some of his golf at Albany.

Woods made 24 birdies, the most of anyone this week.

SEATTLE MARINERS

Top 25 No. 3 North Carolina 95, Radford 50 Chapel Hill, N.C. — Kenny Williams III had 14 of his career-high 19 points in the opening 5 minutes and No. 3 North Carolina routed Radford 95-50 on Sunday.

The Tar Heels (8-1) were coming off a loss at No. 13 Indiana in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. They had no trouble in this one, though they lost guard Joel Berry II to a sprained left ankle in the second half.

Justin Cousin scored 14 points for the Highlanders (35).

FC Barc. v. Borussia Monch. 1:30 p.m. FS2

He also had six double bogeys, three of them in the final round. The last one on the final hole, his third of the week on the 18th, gave him a 4-over 76.

It was the highest score of the tournament, and he finished 15th in the 17-man field.

The other players were not about to measure him by his score — not yet, anyway.

“The whole world is watching a couple of rounds of golf,” said British Open champion Henrik Stenson, who finished second to Hideki Matsuyama.

“It’s great to see him back and healthy and playing. I want to see him up in contention and try to beat him when it matters the most.

“Give him three or four tournaments, maybe six tournaments, maybe around the Masters,” he said. “It’s easy to overanalyze a very limited amount of golf.”

Rarely has a December event attracted this much curiosity.

Woods, the dominant player of his generation, had gone 466 days since his previous tournament because of two back sur-

geries. The recovery at times made it difficult for him to walk and led him to wonder if he would ever play.

“Getting back to this point is beyond anything that I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime,” said Woods, who turns 41 at the end of the month.

“The pain issues that I had, it was rough. Quite frankly, there some pretty dire times where I just couldn’t move.”

Woods showed no stress in his swing or in walking five straight rounds, starting with the pro-am. He had plenty of length, at times going after his driver with a little more pop to clear a bunker. He holed a few long putts. He missed a few short ones. At times, he looked like he had never been away for that long. And at times it did.

“It’s kind of new to me again, the feel of playing, the feel of adrenaline in my system, hitting shots,” Woods said.

One day after he briefly pulled within two shots of the lead, it was clear early on this day would be a struggle.

Woods was scrambling for

pars instead of being in a position to attack pins. He twice made double bogey on a par 5, starting at No. 6 when he blasted out of the sandy area to the back side of a double green, forcing him to chip off the putting surface. Still, he rallied with three straight birdies to play the front nine in even par.

He was never going to win the tournament — Matsuyama was too far ahead — but it was a chance to post a decent number and take more positives into what figures to be a two-month offseason. Instead, Woods added two more double bogeys and shot 40 on the back nine.

He made his third double bogey of the week on the 18th hole without even going into the water. His tee shot landed in a thick palmetto bush, and he had to take a penalty drop to take it out. Just his luck, his drop in the sandy waste area settled right in front of the nub of another bush. He got that back to the fairway, went just over the green and took two putts from there for his 6.

Mykhailiuk CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

college basketball — Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Josh Jackson — has kept Mykhailiuk floating on the perimeter, firing open three after open three toward the rim.

So, even with his hot hand through eight games, do Mykhailiuk’s teammates want to see more from the athletic wing?

“Nah. I think he’s playing exactly how he needs to be playing,” said Graham, the only player on KU’s roster with more three-point makes (19-18) than Mykhailiuk thus far.

“Shoot when he’s open, staying in attack mode, running the floor and running the court and defending.”

So adamant was Graham about Mykhailiuk playing his role to perfection that he went on to emphasize how important it is for his running mate to shoot when the ball comes his way.

“I always stay on him about shooting the ball,” Graham said.

Luckily for Graham and the rest of the Jayhawks, pulling the trigger has not been much of a problem for Mykhailiuk so far this season. Yes, his confidence has something to do with it. But there’s a much bigger, much more obvious, factor in play, as well.

“Frank, Devonté and Josh drive the ball and I’m just getting more looks,” Mykhailiuk said.

“It’s easier to make if no one is guarding you.”

And while the ability of his teammates to create shots for him off the bounce has helped Mykhailiuk find his groove early on this season, the exchange has been mutually beneficial for both parties.

See, if Mykhailiuk were gun shy out there and did not let it fly when he had open looks, opposing defenses would have more time to recover and, therefore, would stand a better chance of keeping Graham, Jackson and Mason from scoring in the paint. But Mykhailiuk’s willingness to fire away

— make or miss — keeps the floor spread and allows KU’s three-headed monster more room to maneuver.

“It’s being in attack mode all the time,” Graham explained. “Coach is always on us about making plays and staying in the lane.”

Speaking of coach Bill Self, what has KU’s top dog thought of the recent play of his 6-foot-8 wing with the name that’s tough to pronounce?

“I think Svi’s played very well on the offensive end,” Self said. “He was good (vs. Stanford) and he moves the ball. It is an advantage to be able to have five guards out there that are all very capable of making plays and making shots.”

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS STRONG SAFETY ERIC BERRY (29) breaks the tackle of Atlanta running back Devonta Freeman on a first-half interception for a touchdown Sunday in Atlanta.

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

their first lead. After scoring, Berry found his mom — wearing his No. 29 jersey— and delivered her the ball. She blew him back a kiss.

“I just handed it to her and told her I’d be back,” he said.

Promise kept.

“I shed a few tears before the game, I shed a few tears during the game and I shed a few after,” Berry added. “It was just a lot of emotions. I tried to contain them and let it show through my play.”

The Falcons, rallying from a 27-16 deficit, went ahead 28-27 on Ryan’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson with 4:32 remaining.

Atlanta decided to go for 2, looking to stretch the margin to a field goal. But Berry read it all the way, stepped in front of the tight end and took off the other way with no one even close to him, providing the Chiefs with their winning margin.

It came after Denver stole a game in similar fashion last month, returning a blocked PAT for the winning points at New Orleans.

Ryan was clearly down after the game, knowing this was one that got

away from the Falcons (7-5).

“A poor play on my part,” the quarterback said. “I was expecting combination coverage to the outside. Eric Berry did a good job coming down off and going onto the tight end.”

Those weren’t the only backbreaking plays given up by the Falcons.

On fourth-and-2 from their own 45, Kansas City faked a punt and snapped the ball directly to Albert Wilson, who played his college ball in the same stadium for Georgia State. Wilson burst up the middle for a 55-yard touchdown that extended Kansas City’s lead in the third quarter.

“I had a sense it would come down to the end, and it did,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “But I reminded the team that it never comes down to one play.”

Alex Smith completed 21 of 25 passes for 270 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown to Spencer Ware. Travis Kelce was Kansas City’s top receiver, hauling in eight passes for 140 yards.

Ryan was 22 of 34 for 297 yards, but his two huge mistakes doomed the NFC South-leading Falcons.

Julio Jones hauled in seven passes for 113 yards, while Devonta Freeman had a couple of 1-yard touchdown runs.

Trainers put a sleeve over the knee, and Matthews tested it out on the sideline with some runs and cuts. But he headed to the locker room just before halftime and didn’t return. Tom Compton finished out the game protecting Ryan’s blind side.

Kansas City’s leading receiver, Jeremy Maclin, missed his fourth straight game with a groin injury.

MISSED FIELD GOALS-None.

Sidelined for a game by a strained muscle in the rib-cage area, Kansas senior center Landen Lucas was back Saturday, but still not all the way back to 2015-16 form.

“I still don’t think I played very well today but it was, I guess, a step in the right direction in a way,” Lucas said. “There’s still a lot of improvement I have to make, but I’m aware of it, so I’m not settling for anything and I’ll keep trying to figure out a way to insert myself.”

Lucas blocked three shots in the first half and totaled eight points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes of KU’s 89-74 victory over Stanford. He also committed four fouls on an afternoon KU’s four primary big men combined for 16 fouls in 52 minutes, most of them committed against Stanford center Reid Travis (29 points, 19 of 22 free throws).

Lucas talked about what he did defensively a year ago that he’s not doing this season.

“I was taking away the post, not letting him catch it where he wants to, and that’s not happening this year,” Lucas said.

“I think part of it is my aggressiveness isn’t there in my all-around game and that’s mainly due to trying to stay out of foul trouble.”

Lucas’ strength is his chief tool, rebounding his best skill. He never has been as quick or as explosive as most of his teammates, but did seem quicker and more explosive a year ago. The fact he walks with a boot when not playing raises suspicion that a sore foot has been a factor in his sub-par play. If so, he’s keeping that to himself.

“No,” he said. “None of my injuries are really affecting me. Anything on the court is all me.”

Is it a case of keep-

ing the foot from getting worse, or can it get better?

“It’s been getting better, just (by) taking pressure off of it when I’m not playing and just managing how much I am using it, and it’s been getting better,” Lucas said. “We have a great training staff, so they’ve definitely been helping me out.”

Of his rebounding, Lucas said, “It’s been terrible, I know that, and that’s something that I need to change. But I also know that’s it’s something I’ve done for years, ever since I was a little kid, so it hasn’t gone anywhere and it will come back eventually. I think I’ll make it happen.”

It was pointed out to Lucas that he has let his frustration show more this year than in the past, and he did not disagree.

He traced that to, “High expectations for myself going into this season.

I’ve got to make sure I manage that because as a senior on this team, I can’t do that. I need to get better at that.”

Lucas is in his fifth season at Kansas.

“It’s a long season. I’ve been through these seasons many times now,” Lucas said. “What happens early on in the grand scheme of things isn’t that big, so (I’m) just staying calm and trying to find a way to progress in each game and each practice so that when it does matter, I have it figured out.”

Lucas started the first five games and has come off the bench since. He is averaging 17.9 minutes, 5.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 personal fouls.
