Fight brews over downtown grocery Neighbors suing over plans for former Borders site By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Zadie Smith, author of the acclaimed “White Teeth” and other novels, touched on feminism, multicultural characters and her aversion to social media Friday at the University of Kansas. Among other thoughts, Smith said her own writing process was like Snapchat in a way: fleeting, at least to her. The social media app allows users to post photos that then disappear.

awrence residents can now get a glimpse of what a downtown grocery store may look like, but it is also becoming clearer what the legal fight to stop the project may look like. As we have reported several times, a local development group has strong interest in converting the former Borders bookstore site into a multistory building that would house a grocery store on the ground floor. The development group, led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor, have now released renderings of what the building would look like. It would be three stories tall, with a grocery store on the ground floor and 82 apartments

At right is the Hobbs Taylor Lofts building. on the upper floors, including some that are set aside for low- to moderate-income tenants. A parking garage would be built below ground. The footprint of the building would be about 43,000 square feet, which is twice as large a footprint as the old bookstore building

currently on the site. That larger footprint is a factor in another new development with the project: A lawsuit has been filed by two condo owners in the adjacent Hobbs Taylor Loft building. Condo owners Brian Russell and Brent Flanders have filed a lawsuit alleging

that the development group is trying to do an “end run” around a set of covenants that limit the footprint of any building on the property to approximately 20,000 square feet. The lawsuit also contends the covenants prohibit a traditional grocery store from being built on the property. Look for the lawsuit to spark a spirited fight. Bill Fleming, an attorney for the development group, said the lawsuit has little to no merit and the development group will fight it and prevail. He also added another detail. “They (the plaintiffs) also have taken the position that if we pay them twice what their condo units are worth, they would go away,” Fleming said.

Christmas Parade returns today

“That is how my novels are. I don’t remember what’s in them,” she said. “I’ve actually never re-read any of them, not from front to back.”

Lawrence’s Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade returns to downtown today. The parade will leave the Douglas County Fairgrounds at 9 a.m., arrive at Seventh and Massachusetts streets at 11 a.m. and travel down Massachusetts Street to 13th Street before making its

way back to the fairgrounds. Massachusetts Street between Seventh and 13th streets will be closed to traffic from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., according to the city’s website. — Staff reports

BRIEFLY 1 dead in house fire north of Topeka Topeka (ap) — Authorities say one person has been killed in an early morning house fire north of Topeka. Kansas State Fire Marshall’s Office spokesman Kevin Doel says eight people were in the home when the fire started around 6:20 a.m. Friday. Several were transported for treatment, including the person who died. The name and age of the victim wasn’t immediately released. Doel says he has no information about the conditions of the other people injured in the blaze. Authorities are investigating.

Teen pleads guilty in sex assault case Olathe (ap) — A teenager accused of sexually assaulting two classmates at a suburban Kansas City high school has pleaded guilty to amended charges in a case that touched off a metrowide protest. The Kansas City Star reports that the 15-yearold Leawood boy admitted Thursday in juvenile court to two felony aggravated battery counts. The teen initially was charged in September with three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with two underage students at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village. He also had been charged with exposing himself in April 2015 to a girl at another school. Under the plea agreement, he faces 10 days in juvenile detention and two years of probation when he’s sentenced in April. Hundreds of students wore black earlier this year as part of the protest.

Russell and Flanders are the plaintiffs in the suit. Russell also is the attorney in the suit. He too minced no words. “The arrogance of these guys is just stunning,” Russell said of the development group. He said Fleming’s characterization of what has been proposed is inaccurate. But he said he and Flanders are worried about a decline in property values if the grocery store project goes forward. He said the project would dramatically change the character of the block. He said the project would replace a fairly low-volume retail site with a very high-volume retailer, plus it would add low-income apartments next door to the upscale condo development. “We are just trying to protect our rights, and I hope people understand that even if they want a grocery store in downtown,” Russell said. It doesn’t appear that the issue in the case will be whether the covenants limit the size of the building or prohibit a grocery store. Instead, it appears the disagreement centers on who can change the covenants. Russell argues that changes to the covenants must be approved by every condo

On Friday afternoon, Allen appeared in Douglas County District Court, where he pleaded no contest to two felony counts of aggravated battery. As a part of a plea agreement, prosecutors

PUBLISHER owner in the building. There are a little more than 30 residential condo owners, plus other commercial condo owners, Russell said. The development group is expected to argue that a company by the name of 8th and New Hampshire LLC, which is led by Lawrence businessman Stephen Craig, has the ability to change the covenants. 8th and New Hampshire LLC is the successor company to the group that originally developed the Hobbs Taylor Lofts. That legal argument has not yet been settled. The lawsuit seeks an injunction stopping the project from moving forward. The development group has not yet filed its answer to the lawsuit. Fleming said the development group has been holding meetings with residents of Hobbs Taylor, and has begun to make some changes to the development plans based upon their feedback. For example, he said residents were concerned about grocery carts being strewn about the neighborhood. As a result, the development has committed to using high-tech

dismissed the remaining charges. Douglas County District Court Judge Sally Pokorny accepted Allen’s plea and convicted him of the two felony charges. She then ordered a presentence investigation, which will help determine Allen’s sentence. Aggravated battery is a level-seven felony,

grocery carts that won’t allow the user to take them outside the building. Other modifications have related to parking plans, screening, lighting and methods to reduce noise from the development. “I think we are going to get a green light from the residents to move forward, and then we’ll make an application with the city,” Fleming said. The project would require multiple city approvals, and it is expected that the development will seek economic development incentives from the city. As for the grocery store itself, we have reported that a Price Chopper is a likely candidate to operate the store. That is appearing more likely. Fleming confirmed that Barry Queen of Kansas City’s Queen’s Price Choppers has been speaking to the Hobbs Taylor group about how a grocery store at the site would operate. The plans also show that a drive-thru pharmacy would be part of the project. We’ll keep you updated as the lawsuit moves through the process and also if the project makes any filings with the city.

according to the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines. The maximum sentence a judge may give is 34 months in prison; the minimum sentence is 11 months of probation. Pokorny said Allen could also face a potential fine of $100,000. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

New K-State president to receive $500K annual salary Manhattan (ap) — The former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman hired as Kansas State University’s president will receive a $500,000 annual salary. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the Kansas Board of Regents released the letter of appointment Thursday for Gen. Richard

Myers. He was promoted last month from interim president, a job he’s held since April. The Kansas State University Foundation will finance $156,250 of Myers’ yearly salary, a common practice for paying university presidents.

As part of his annual compensation package, the foundation will provide Myers with two university vehicles and a membership to the Manhattan Country Club. The foundation also will finance Myers’ deferred compensation package. That includes getting $31,250 after

his first year of service, progressing to $187,500 if he remains as president for eight years or more. KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little’s salary is $510,041 for the current fiscal year. Of that, $225,164 comes from KU Endowment reimbursements, according to

KU’s 2017 budget. Previous K-State President Kirk Schulz’s salary was $476,290 when he left to become president of Washington State University earlier this year. Myers’ salary as interim K-State president was $350,000 per year, according to the Regents.

Police investigate armed robbery in southwest Lawrence By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

An armed robbery was reported Thursday afternoon on the southwest side of Lawrence, police records show. At 2:56 p.m., 15 officers responded to the 2500 block of West 31st Street for a report of

an armed robbery, according to police department incident logs. On Thursday, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said she could not offer additional details on the incident because the robbery had just been reported and was still under investigation.

On Friday, Lawrence Police Officer Drew Fennelly confirmed an armed robbery did, in fact, take place. However, he said he could not immediately release additional information. This is the fifth reported armed robbery since late November. So far no arrests

shown in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bear an incident number matching the reported robberies. Fennelly said Thursday afternoon’s armed robbery is not believed to be connected to any other robberies in Lawrence. However, investigators are looking into whether

a Nov. 19 armed robbery at Woody’s Gas Express, 920 N. Second St., and a Nov. 25 attempted robbery at Miller Mart, 2301 Wakarusa Drive, are connected. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Advent, like its cousin Lent, is a season for prayer and reformation of our hearts. Since it comes at winter time, fire is a fitting sign to help us celebrate Advent… If Christ is to come more fully into our lives this Christmas, if God is to become really incarnate for us, then fire will have to be present in our prayer. Our worship and devotion will have to stoke the kind of fire in our souls that can truly change our hearts. Ours is a great responsibility not to waste this Advent time. ~ Edward Hays, A Pilgrim’s Almanac healthyspirituality.org

Lifestyle brand opening studio in Eudora

“N

ational company expanding into Eudora, looking to hire” wouldn’t be an inaccurate summation of the changes happening at 702 Main St. in Eudora. The building, according to a plaque on its front, opened in 1897 with Kaw Valley State Bank, a 124-seat opera house, and a barber shop and grocery store. Most recently, it was the home of Amy Durkin’s law office. The building’s Victorian-era architecture makes it a natural fit for the needs of its newest tenant, Megan Hurtig. The ground-floor windows that top out at its 12-foot ceilings are particularly appropriate for the design studio she is opening, Hurtig said. Actually, it’s to be the design studio of Spartina 449, a Hilton Head, S.C., company owned by her friends and former Kansas City metropolitan area residents Kay Stanley and Curt Seymour, who kept her on as vice president of design when they moved to Daufuskie Island, S.C. “We are a women’s lifestyle brand sold all over the country,” Hurtig said, listing designer handbags, women’s accessories and jewelry as among the company’s offerings. The company owns a couple of its own stores in South Carolina but mostly markets through retail shops, including Prairie Patches at 821 Massachusetts St. in Lawrence, Hurtig said. Hurtig said she served as Spartina 449’s design director from her home

in rural Linwood for several years until the recently vacated building in downtown Eudora caught her eye. The spacious studio will allow her to expand the company’s design team once she’s added shelving, another desk and other elements to complete the ground floor’s makeover. “We make women’s journals and other paper products,” she said. “I’m looking for a print designer, hopefully a KU art student or a former Hallmark artist.” It’s possible she would hire more designers in the future, she said. Meanwhile, Hurtig, whose children attend Eudora schools, is adapting well to her new work environment. “I just love Main Street,” she said. “It just has a quintessential American cuteness.”

Baldwin City celebration Baldwin City will honor longtime former fire chief Allen Craig and his friend Gary Brown at today’s Festival of Lights

with a 6:30 p.m. reception at the Baldwin City Parks and Recreation office, 705 High St. The two men, who are also grand marshals of the parade, teamed up long ago to spread holiday joy for a generation of Baldwin City youngsters at the annual downtown holiday ceremony. Brown, dressed as Santa Claus, rode in an antique firetruck that Craig drove to many Christmas tree lighting ceremonies. Also honored at the reception will be Tammy Michael and Lucretia Carlson, who handed the festivalorganizing duties off this year to Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce executive director Jeannette Blackmar and chamber communications specialist Wendy Conover. The Festival of Lights Parade will start at 6 p.m. and will travel the traditional route from the north end of Baker University on Eighth Street south to High Street and then east to Joe Spurgeon Park. Blackmar said 15 floats had been entered by businesses, nonprofits and individuals — about double the amount of a year ago. “We had a deadline,” she said. “But if anyone shows up and wants to enter, we won’t turn them away.” The day’s schedule is: l 9 a.m., breakfast with Santa at the Baldwin Elementary School Intermediate Center; Festival of Wreaths and Trees

at the Lumberyard Arts Center, 718 High St. l 10 a.m., Santa Claus Express at Midland Railway, 1515 High St. l Noon, holiday homes tour l 12:30 p.m., Gingerbread House Party, Lumberyard Arts Center. l 1 p.m., Santa Claus Express at Midland Railway, 1515 High St. l 3 p.m., Gingerbread House Party, Lumberyard Arts Center. l 5 p.m., holiday dinner, Baldwin First United Methodist Church, Eighth and Grove streets; Victorian carolers, Lumberyard Arts Center l 6 p.m., Festival of Lights Parade l 6:30 p.m., tree lighting; fireworks display; reception for Tammy Michael, Lucretia Carlson, Alan Craig and Gary Brown. l 6:45 p.m., Baldwin City Recreation Commission raffle; pictures with Santa at Joe Spurgeon Park.

It’s been 20 years since Ryder Werts and his classmates visited his family’s candle store on a secondgrade field trip, but Werts, whose parents own Waxman Candles in downtown Lawrence, still remembers the magic of it all. The experience actually turned out to be somewhat “traumatic” for the veteran candlemaker — in his excitement, Werts ended up accidentally spraying hot wax over the face of one unlucky classmate, he now recalls. These days, he’s

following the lead of his father, Bob, in stressing the importance of fire safety to every tour group that passes through Waxman, 609 Massachusetts St. The shop’s second annual Kiddie Candle Dip, slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today, will be no exception, Werts promises. “We don’t send them home with candles and matches,” he says of the family-friendly DIY activity. “Just the candle.” Werts says he’s hoping folks will stop by before and after today’s Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade. Each

participant of today’s free event will be given a peek at the Waxman workshop, as well as their own small candle to dip in their choice of approximately 20 colorful waxes. That’s the “toughest choice,” adds Werts, who says the shop hosted around 150 little dippers (get it?) at last year’s Kiddie Candle Dip. He’s hoping for a similar turnout this year while the Christmas parade trots down Massachusetts Street starting at 11 a.m. today. Families can stop by anytime between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to partake in the

candle dipping, says Werts — just look for a line of green tape leading from the front door to the back of the shop. That’s where the magic happens. For kids, Werts says, the experience is magical. “It’s just a fun thing for families to do, and we know they enjoy it,” he says of the event’s popularity. “It’s just that they get to dip it themselves and they get to keep it. They get a little takehome treasure.” — Reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388. Follow her on Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Kansas’ post-truth fail goes national “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” — Daniel Patrick Moynihan

To prepare for life in posttruth America, just study the example of Kansas politics since 2010, when Gov. Sam Brownback and Secretary of State Kris Kobach were elected. What is post-truth? The Oxford English Dictionary declares it the word of the year, with this definition: Relating or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief. Comedian Stephen Colbert beat the OED to the punch. Several years ago, he named this “truthiness” — if a statement feels true, it is true; no thinking needed. Actual truth requires rigorous analysis and factual verification, while post-truth claims are evaluated based on whether they fit with one’s political ideology. Hence the explosion of “fake news” sites this year, which post entirely fabricated stories on social media, always pushing emotional buttons and frequently forwarded to hundreds or even thousands of people without being verified by reliable sources beforehand. Kansans know all about posttruth. Consider President-elect

Michael Smith

“

Under post-truth, governing is a disaster. Policymakres each have their own, completely different set of biases and ‘facts’ and with no common standard by which to verify claims, make judgments or negotiate.”

Donald J. Trump’s recent tweet stating that the 2016 elections featured “millions of fraudulent votes.” Kobach agrees with the claim, citing a study that he is taking out of context. Scholars and policymakers have combed through evidence of possible voter fraud for years, finding virtually no confirmed cases. We also have major concerns about the way laws meant to combat this fraud have the actual effect of removing tens of thousands of people from the voting rolls in Kansas alone.

Yet to fact-check Trump’s and Kobach’s claims is to live in the past — under post-truth, the claim sounds right to their supporters, so it’s true. Under post-truth, governing is a disaster. Policymakers each have their own, completely different set of biases and “facts” and with no common standard by which to verify claims, make judgments or negotiate. Politics becomes a contest of emotional manipulation: Whoever can yell louder, frighten more people, make us feel better or do more to re-animate old prejudices is automatically declared (by themselves) to be the winner. Partisan news media custom-tailor reports to what their audiences want to hear, and if the real facts cannot be spun enough to fit the story, no problem — we can just make some up. Brownback’s economic policies exemplify post-truth policymaking. At his behest, the state has drained long-held trust funds for highways, children’s health and employee health care, and has had its bond rating downgraded several times. Medicaid benefits have been cut, and the state has gotten hauled into court over school funding. Brownback supporters responded with a truly post-truth approach: Instead of fixing the budget’s gaping wound, they

tried to remove the judges who are ruling against them from office, in this year’s retention elections. They failed, as the judges were retained with over 55 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the promised economic growth from tax cuts has never materialized. Perhaps this is why Brownback’s approval ratings are 50th out of 50 among U.S. governors. Brownback’s reaction? In a post-election interview with The Associated Press’ John Hanna, the governor said the voters gave him “good, high marks” because Republicans still have large majorities in the Legislature. In so doing, he ignored not only the seats lost to Democrats, but also the moderate surge in this summer’s Republican primaries. Many of these successful “mods” explicitly ran against Brownback’s agenda, some even going so far as to put the words “Stop Brownback” on their yard signs, right next to the Republican elephant. Yet to Brownback, the election feels like a mandate, so it must be one. “Stop Brownback” equals “Support Brownback,” and post-truth wins again. Will President-elect Trump elevate post-truth politics to the national stage? — Michael A. Smith is a professor of political science at Emporia State University.

After 25 years, the triumph of the West is giving way Washington — Twenty-five years ago — December 1991 — communism died, the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union disappeared. It was the largest breakup of an empire in modern history and not a shot was fired. It was an event of biblical proportions that my generation thought it would never live to see. As Wordsworth famously rhapsodized (about the French Revolution), “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive/ But to be young was very heaven!” That dawn marked the ultimate triumph of the liberal democratic idea. It promised an era of Western dominance led by a pre-eminent America, the world’s last remaining superpower. And so it was for a decade as the community of democracies expanded, first into Eastern Europe and former Soviet colonies. The U.S. was so dominant that when, on Dec. 31, 1999, it gave up one of the most prized geostrategic assets on the globe — the Panama Canal — no one even noticed. That era is over. The autocracies are back and rising; democracy is on the defensive; the U.S. is in retreat. Look no further than Aleppo. A Western-backed resistance to a local tyrant — he backed by a resurgent Russia, an expanding Iran and an array of proxy Shiite militias — is on the brink of annihilation. Russia drops bombs; America issues statements. What better symbol for the end of that heady liberal-democratic historical moment. The West is turning inward and going home, leaving the field to the rising authoritarians — Russia, China and Iran. In France, the conservative party’s newly nominated presidential contender is fashionably conservative and populist and soft on Vladimir Putin. As are several of the newer Eastern Europe democracies — Hungary, Bulgaria, even Poland — themselves showing authoritarian tendencies. And even as Europe tires of the sanctions imposed on Russia for its rape of Ukraine, President Obama’s much touted “isolation” of Russia has ignominiously dissolved, as our secretary of state repeatedly goes cap in hand to Russia to beg for mercy in Syria. The European Union, the largest democratic club on earth, could itself soon break up as Brexit-like movements spread through the continent. At the same time, its members dash with unseemly haste to reopen economic ties with a tyrannical and aggressive Iran. As for China, the other great challenger to the post-Cold War order, the administration’s “pivot” has turned into an abject failure. The Philippines has openly defected to the Chinese side. Malaysia then followed. And the rest of our Asian allies are begin-

ning to hedge their bets. When the president of China addressed the Pacific Rim countries in Peru last month, he suggested that China was prepared to pick up the pieces of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, now abandoned by both political parties in the United States. The West’s retreat began with Obama, who reacted to (perceived) post-9/11 overreach by abandoning Iraq, offering appeasement (“reset”) to Russia and accommodating Iran. In 2009, he refused even rhetorical support to the popular revolt against the rule of the ayatollahs. Donald Trump wants to continue the pull back, though for entirely different reasons. Obama ordered retreat because he’s always felt the U.S. was not good enough for the world, too flawed to have earned the moral right to be the world hegemon. Trump would follow suit, disdaining allies and avoiding conflict, because the world is not good enough for us — undeserving, ungrateful, parasitic foreigners living safely under our protection and off our sacrifices. Time to look after our own American interests. Trump’s is not a new argument. As the Cold War was ending in 1990, Jeane Kirkpatrick, the quintessential neoconservative, argued that we should now become “a normal country in a normal time.” It was time to give up the 20th century burden of maintaining world order and of making superhuman exertions on behalf of universal values. Two generations of fighting fascism and communism were quite enough. Had we not earned a restful retirement? At the time, I argued that we had earned it indeed, but a cruel history would not allow us to enjoy it. Repose presupposes a fantasy world in which stability is self-sustaining without the United States. It is not. We would incur not respite but chaos. A quarter-century later, we face the same temptation, but this time under more challenging circumstances. Worldwide jihadism has been added to the fight, and we enjoy nothing like the dominance we exercised over conventional adversaries during our 1990s holiday from history. We may choose repose, but we won’t get it. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

said. “I quite like giving readers some freedom to imagine that person.” She added a wry observation about the way many a male author has approached character descriptions of women — also focusing more on bodies than faces. “They’re always wearing blouses, if you’ve ever noticed,” Smith said. “Blouses and pencil skirts.” Smith does not carry a phone, she said, and hasn’t since “a few months in 2008.” She’s not active on social media, and she doesn’t like the idea of being “a product.” She said she doesn’t confuse her public image with her “person.” When she sees so many young people doing it, it makes her sad, Smith said. “Why does everything have to be on sale to people?” she said. “Now, if 15 million people don’t know about it, it doesn’t exist.”

There’s a “realm of the feminine” that’s been systematically devalued, with a lot of the things women traditionally do labeled as silly, she said. Citing activities such as cooking, entertaining, dressing and even quilting, Smith — often photographed and fashionably attired — said she doesn’t feel that way anymore. “I’ve really kind of backed away from it,” she said. “I am more and more interested in the things that women have had some involvement in.” Speaking of characters in her novel “On Beauty,” Smith said that although she’s a fan of portraits, she included descriptive passages about characters’ bodies, but less so their faces, in her writing. “I feel a bit bullied by excessive descriptions of people’s faces,” she

— Zadie Smith, author

The British author appeared before a few dozen Friends of the Hall Center and other fans for “A Conversation with Zadie Smith” Friday morning at the Hall Center for the Humanities. Thursday night she presented “Why Write?” — part of this year’s Humanities Lecture Series — for a larger crowd at the Kansas Union ballroom. Smith, born in 1975, is biracial — her mother Jamaican, her father English, her own children blonde and green-eyed — and features multicultural characters in her novels. She said that’s not an attempt to argue for anything, but rather simply because that’s reality. In particular, it’s her reality, and she enjoys living it and writing about it. “Multiculturalism should not be considered a type of political ideology, just a historical fact,” she said. To one biracial audience member who said she felt like she has to choose between her identities when she writes, Smith said that shouldn’t be seen as tragic. She said she embraces the “possibility and comedy and joy” of her own multicultural family. “You can live in two places at once,” Smith said. “No matter what color we are, we are all ourselves, and we are all people in the world.” She also addressed, in response to another audience member, learning to

Jobless rate falls to nine-year low Unemployment now at 4.6%; solid 178,000 jobs added in November Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The labor market perked up modestly in November as employers added 178,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low, providing more evidence of a solid economy in the final payroll report before an expected Federal Reserve interest rate hike. The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey than the payroll total, fell from 4.9% to 4.6%, lowest since August 2007, the Labor Department said Friday.

September’s was revised to 208,000 from 191,000, and October’s to 142,000 from 161,000. Average hourly wages pulled back after two solid advances, falling 3 cents to $25.89.

Cuban dissidents stay quiet, but not to respect Castro Alan Gomez USA TODAY

One of Cuba’s leading dissident groups won’t conduct its usual march through this capital city on Sunday, the day of Fidel Castro’s funeral. Berta Soler, the leader of the Ladies in White, doesn’t want anybody to construe that decision as a sign of respect for the longtime communist leader, who died last week at age 90. Instead, she simply doesn’t want to give the Cuban government an excuse to beat down her fellow dissidents. Soler said Tuesday that she’d rather be dancing in the streets like the Cuban-Americans 90 miles away in Florida who have been celebrating Castro’s death. “I don’t celebrate the death of any human being, but the death of a dictator? Of a tyrant? Of course I would,” said Soler, who became an activist after her husband was rounded up with 74 others during a 2003 crackdown dubbed the “Black Spring.” Dissidents say Cuban police have been watching them closely this week, as the government conducts a week-long series of tributes to Castro, including a procession carrying his ashes to the eastern city of Santiago, where they will be interred. One prominent dissident remained in jail Tuesday after he spray-painted “He’s gone” on the Habana Libre Hotel, where Castro briefly stayed after entering Havana with his victorious revolution in 1959. Danilo Maldonado Machado, known as “El Sexto,” once spent 10 months in prison when he was caught with two pigs he had painted with the names of the HAVANA

Trump breaks precedent in talking to Taiwan’s leader First contact by U.S. president since 1979 Eliza Collins USA TODAY

WASHINGTON By speaking with Taiwan’s president Friday, President-elect Donald Trump broke a 37-year precedent that limited direct talks with a U.S. president or president-elect and the leader of the island nation off the coast of China. “President-elect Trump spoke with President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, who offered her congrat-

ulations,” a Trump transition team statement released Friday said. “During the discussion, they noted the close economic, political, and security ties exists between Taiwan and the United States. President-elect Trump also congratulated President Tsai on becoming President of Taiwan earlier this year.” No U.S. president has spoken directly to a Taiwanese leader since 1979, when President Jimmy Carter announced full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China and ended relations with Taiwan. It is the second call this week in which Trump risked a diplo-

matic rift by talking to a foreign leader. Wednesday, he spoke with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom he praised as a great leader. A longtime U.S. ally, Pakistan

has also been the source of frustration for U.S. leaders because of its nuclear weapons program and long rivalry with India, with which it has fought three major wars since 1947. Details of Trump’s call were first reported by the Financial Times of Great Britain, which quoted former White House official Evan Medeiros: “The Chinese leadership will see this as a highly provocative action, of historic proportions.” Some linked the call to Trump’s business interests in Taiwan. “Everything we feared about Donald Trump wreaking havoc is

coming true,” said Jessica Mackler, president of the Democratic super PAC American Bridge. “A report that Trump risks a major rift with China by speaking with the Taiwanese leader proves that Trump is dangerously incapable of keeping the United States safe — and this is still nearly two months before his inauguration,” Mackler said. “Was Donald Trump interested in breaking with more than 40 years of U.S. policy because he wants to make money by building a hotel in Taiwan? Or is Trump simply threatening our precarious relationship with China because he is naive?”

Top Trump, Clinton strategists clash Conference conversation heats up over whether president-elect boosted, benefited from alt-right Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

CAMBRIDGE , MASS .

Top strategists for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed heatedly Thursday at a post-election forum over the qualities of the candidates and the forces behind the Republican’s unexpected victory. The conversation turned particularly contentious over whether Trump had boosted and benefited from the so-called altright, a movement that includes white supremacists and anti-Semitics. “Hashtag, he’s your president, how about that?” Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway demanded after Clinton pollster Joel Benenson accused Trump of using “dog whistles” to appeal to bigots. “Will you accept the election results?” “Kellyanne, hashtag, if he’s going to be my president he’s got to show me that white supremacy is not acceptable steps from the Oval Office,” Clinton adviser Karen Finney shot back, a reference to Trump strategist Steve Bannon, former CEO of a website popular with the alt-right. The campaign managers, pollsters and other top aides from 16 presidential campaigns gathered

Wednesday and Thursday for a quadrennial conference that Harvard’s Institute of Politics has sponsored since 1972. Three weeks after Election Day, the conference was timed to take place while memories — and wounds — were still fresh. For the Trump and Clinton strategists lined up on opposite sides of a long table, the arguments from the campaign were as fierce as ever. The Clinton team argued she lost in large part not because of her own failings but because of unfair media coverage, campaign emails leaked by Russian intelligence and unprecedented public comments by FBI Director James Comey. She also faced an electorate angry at Washington and eager for change. The Trump team argued he won because he connected with voters Democrats had ignored and dismissed. “Do you think you could just have a message for white working-class workers?” Conway said. “How about it’s Hillary Clinton? She doesn’t connect with people.” Strategists for his GOP rivals acknowledged Trump and his message resonated with the party’s base in a way few had foreseen. “Trump was Godzilla walking into the power plant,” David Ko-

CHARLES KRUPA, AP

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, and Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook had plenty of choice words.

“Trump was Godzilla walking into the power plant. He touched the third rail; he touched the fourth rail; he touched the fifth rail, (and) he just kept getting bigger.” David Kochel, top strategist for former Florida governor Jeb Bush

chel, top strategist for former Florida governor Jeb Bush, said ruefully. “He touched the third rail; he touched the fourth rail; he touched the fifth rail, (and) he just kept getting bigger.” “Nobody cared about solutions,” said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who ran the campaign of her father, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. “They wanted to burn it all down ... and figure out what to do with the ashes afterwards.” Trump routinely rejected the advice of his senior strategists in a campaign that relied on his gut instincts and fit the mood of an angry electorate, former campaign manager Corey Lewandow-

ski said. He recalled pulling Trump aside for a private conversation after the candidate had characterized Arizona Sen. John McCain, a POW during the Vietnam war, as not a hero because he had been captured. “I closed the door and I said, ‘I think we have a problem,’ ” Lewandowski said. “My advice was probably we need to go and apologize to John McCain.” Instead, Trump quickly convened a news conference and doubled down on his criticism of McCain and others for what he said was inadequate treatment of veterans. Even the alarm of advisers after he questioned the ability of a judge of Mexican descent to be fair to him wasn’t likely to dissuade him. “Understand, here’s a man who had never run for office before, had just cleaned the clock of 16 prominent Republicans,” Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio said. Every time others argued that his provocative statements would create a political catastrophe, “Well, guess what, that didn’t happen.” “You guys won,” Benenson said but noted that Clinton carried the popular vote. “Don’t act like you have some popular mandate for your message.” Amid a rumble of protests from the Trump side, Conway told their side, “OK, guys, we won; you don’t have to respond.” She said to the Clinton side, “You’ve learned nothing about this election.”

Castro brothers “Fidel” and “Raúl.” On Tuesday, his mother said the family still doesn’t know where he’s being held or what charges he’s facing. While Maria Victoria Machado Gonzalez worried about her son in jail, she said she understands what he’s doing. “Danilo is how he is.

What he’s doing is very important.” Dissidents say they haven’t heard of any other arrests this week, but that may be because of the intense police presence around the homes of the island’s most outspoken critics. “There’s a group of security guards on the corner right now,” said Antonio Rodiles from his home. “We almost got into a fight with them last night because they were threatening us.” Rodiles helped organize a petition in 2012 demanding that the Cuban government adhere to international conventions on civil, political and human rights. He has since been arrested several times. Rodiles said the government

Members of the Ladies in White, a group that protests against the Cuban government’s arrests of dissidents and human rights activists, head for their weekly protest last March. agents surrounding the homes of most dissident leaders make it hard to organize any kind of movement. But he said they are continuing their work through online platforms and will quickly get back to their more public protests once Castro’s funeral is over. Dissident arrests are on the

rise this year, with 9,125 through October, compared to 8,616 for all of 2015, according to the Cuban Commission of Human Rights and National Reconciliation. “We haven’t kept quiet and we won’t keep quiet,” Rodiles said. “We will continue doing our work.”

Gapen thinks the Fed will place more emphasis on the sharply declining unemployment rate and smaller labor force, which “are likely to place further upward pressure on inflation” as employers lift paychecks to attract workers. “There’s absolutely nothing (in the report) that says to the Fed they shouldn’t” raise rates at a mid-December meeting, economist Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors says. Meanwhile, a broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers on the sidelines and part-time employees who prefer full-time jobs, as well as the unemployed, dropped from 9.5% to 9.3%, lowest since April 2008. Hurricane Matthew, which hit the Southeast in early October, seemed to suppress employment that month as some workers in the region stayed home, and many economists expected a positive snapback effect in November. More broadly, however, average monthly job growth has moderated this year to about 180,000 from a pace of 229,000 in 2015. While employer demand remains solid, the low unemployment rate has spelled a reduced supply of workers, slowing hiring. The November employment gains “are about as good as you can get given the lack of available workers,” Naroff says. Yet noting the economy has created jobs for a record 74 consecutive months, Deputy Labor Secretary Chris Liu said in an interview, “It highlights the stark contrast of the economy we inherited and the one we’re passing off to our successor.” The U.S. was in the throes of the Great Recession and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs each month when President Obama took office in January 2009. Fed officials have said monthly additions of only about 100,000 are needed to continue to bring down the jobless rate. But earlier this year, a return of discouraged workers to the labor force kept unemployment elevated and appeared to temper wage pressures, giving policymakers more leeway to leave rates lower a bit longer without stoking inflation. With the labor force shrinking in October and November, some economists think that trend largely has played out, keeping the Fed on track to lift rates.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

The monthly jobs report gets all the headlines, but a more obscure government release may provide a more transparent window into the labor market. The Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) digs beneath the job growth and unemployment figures to reveal employer demand and employee movements. Average monthly payroll gains have slowed this year — to 180,000 from 229,000 in 2015 — a development most economists trace to a low jobless rate that’s providing employers with fewer available workers. But in August and September, job openings totaled about 5.5 million after hitting a record 5.8

Some economists and staffing firms say that may have stemmed, at least partly, from uncertainty tied to the presidential election. In October, employers added just 142,000 jobs, according to revisions the Labor Department released Friday. The latest JOLTS report for that month, out Wednesday, will show whether openings were sluggish third 5-day avg.: for a0.17 month or bounced other 6-monthback. avg.: In 6.51 words, wereLargest the scant job gains holding: AAPLa problem?

Michael Phelps takes the plunge — into tech investing Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

The most decorated Olympian is trying his hands at a new venture: tech investing. Michael Phelps, winner of 28 Olympic medals, is looking to join the long list of successful athletes turned investors. At the Intuit software conference in San Jose, Phelps expressed his interest to The Associated Press. “I would love to get involved,” Phelps told the AP. “Whether it’s

in a couple little start-ups here and there, take a little risk, have some fun and see where it goes.” Like other athletes, Phelps has created quite a brand for himself, having struck sponsorship deals with AT&T, Visa, Under Armour, Subway and Wheaties, among others. He most recently has been featured in ads from computer chip giant Intel, alongside Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons as well as promotions for the latest Call of Duty video game from Activision. For Phelps, investing in tech

opens up a potential new source of revenue beyond endorsements following his retirement from competitive swimming after GETTY IMAGES the Rio games FOR ACTIVISION this summer. Michael Phelps Tech has become one of the new avenues for sports figures to invest. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, also recently retired, announced in August he

was creating a $100 million venture capital fund looking to invest in technology, media and data-focused companies. Fellow NBA stars Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James have have made investments, with Anthony creating his own tech fund in April called Melo 7 Tech Partners and James a notable investor in Beats by Dre headphones. An early investor in Beats, James reportedly pocketed $30 million following the headphone maker’s $3 billion sale to Apple in 2014. Not every start-up has been a success story, however. Former

Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said in 2012 that he lost $50 million in his failed video game venture called 38 Studios. But for a seemingly increasing number of athletes, tech has greater appeal than investing in cars, houses, clothes or friends. With hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars coming to athletes at young ages, that money has to go somewhere. For Phelps and others, it now appears that place is in tech. “I am getting my feet wet,” Phelps told the AP. “2017 will be a big year.”

There’s a warm feeling emanating from Hollywood. It’s called happiness. And it’s racking up wins at the box office. Dwayne Johnson led Disney’s Moana to a resounding $81 million Thanksgiving box office win as the hilarious demigod Maui. Sick of Internet trolls? Hug-giving animated Trolls are holding strong ($136 million total). Keeping pace are fantastical escapes such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them ($163 million). Meanwhile, cynical sequel Bad Santa 2 flopped with a $9 million opening. The angst-filled Edge of Seventeen, for all its great reviews, is floundering, earning just $11 million. Paul Dergarabedian, a media analyst for comScore, suspects audiences are seeking relief from a turbulent presidential election and aftermath. The sometimesstruggling 2016 box office made $900 million between Nov. 4 and Nov. 27, up 8% from the same period in 2015 ($832 million), according to comScore. “It’s difficult to quantify, but there really is something going on here. People are coming to theaters, gravitating to the fantastical and the happy side,” Dergarabedian says. “Movie theaters have always provided sanctuary during our hardest periods. The lights go down, you check out of realworld troubles.” Filmmakers are feeling it. Johnson recalls sneaking into prerelease screenings of Moana and watching the audience leave “floating,” he says. “Everything in the news is so scary, so down. The Internet is judgmental and negative,” says Trolls director Mike Mitchell. “I’m happy that people want a film that feels like a party.” This search for movie bliss will continue, says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “People don’t want real life, they want true escapism — now more than ever,” says Bock, who predicts films such as Office Christmas Party (in theaters on Dec. 9) and the animated singingcompetition comedy Sing (out Dec. 21) will benefit. The feeling looks to carry over to awards season. Pete Hammond, awards columnist for industry site Deadline.com, says his interactions with Academy Award voters show a “strong enthusiasm” for the uplifting side — which could

hurt films such as the “bleak” Manchester by the Sea. But it looks to help inspirational films such as La La Land, featuring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone singing and dancing (Dec. 9). “People are shifting to the light side, and La La Land will benefit, with its look at Hollywood in a lighter time. People are responding the same way they did with The Artist,” Hammond says. “After a brutal election, voters want to be transported away from doom and gloom.” Adam Fogelson, chairman of

STX Entertainment Motion Picture Group, says these are conversations studio executives are having about greenlighting future film projects. “We’re all talking about the fact that in tumultuous times, happy, escapist fare — as long as it’s quality — is at a premium,” says Fogelson, who is developing a Bad Dads sequel to his Bad Moms comedy hit for summer 2017. “That feels like a good idea no matter what time. But the more high-quality, escapist fare we can have, the better.”

Amazon’s ‘Grand Tour’ takes road back to England Jayme Deerwester @jaymedeerwester USA TODAY

When Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May landed at Amazon after their messy exits from BBC’s car-show juggernaut Top Gear in 2015, the trio had to strike a balance between reinventing the wheel and giving their fans what they paid to see: three goofy middle-aged men playing with cars. “We had to start from scratch and build a new show,” Hammond tells USA TODAY. “But it can’t be completely from scratch, because it’s us three doing what we do. And that’s who we are and what we’ll always be. It’s familiar. It’s us three, cars, attitude and antics.” The biggest change was taking the entire show on the road with a mobile, tented studio. “When we say The Grand Tour,” Clarkson says, “it really is. There’s probably no show on Earth apart from the news that’s more global.” Now, after jaunts to California, Jordan, South Africa and Portugal, they’ve come home to England for their new show’s third weekly episode (streaming now,

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have traded their old Surrey hangar for a traveling studio tent. free to Amazon Prime subscribers), specifically to Whitby, an old whaling town on Yorkshire’s eastern coast. And while it was good to be back on British soil, they had another reason for returning to the United Kingdom: Settling a bet made in the first episode. During a challenge involving hybrid supercars in the Nov. 18

premiere, Clarkson promised Hammond and May, “If the McLaren isn’t the fastest, you two can knock my house down.” An incredulous Hammond warned him, “You know we will do that.” Well, it turns out his car wasn’t the fastest, and by the looks of the bulldozer coming through his fence in a promo, it’s clear they

intend to hold him to it. Something else to look forward to in the episode: “You’re in for a surprise,” Clarkson says of the asyet-mysterious celebrity segment. “By the end of Week 3, you’ll know what’s going on.” After working together for more than a decade on one of the planet’s most popular shows (Top Gear aired in more than 200 territories), the trio copped to being fidgety as they waited for the Grand Tour reviews to come in. “You’ve got to be nervous,” Hammond says. “You’ve tried as best you can to make something, and then you put it out there for the world to see. You want people to like it. So we were all watching (social media reaction) from behind our sofas.” May, the most scientifically inclined of the three, was asked about a fan theory: the longer his hair, the better the season, a corollary established during the golden age of Top Gear (circa 2008-09), when he could have passed for the guitarist from Led Zeppelin. “You’re quite right,” May agrees. “I did look like Jimmy Page!” Clarkson moans, because May’s hair is shorter these days. “Oh no. We’re doomed!”

you a bone. Dear Annie: I am divorced, am single, live alone and am retired. On several occasions, married women I know have exclaimed loudly to me, “What do you do all day long?!” These women have known me practically all of my life. Some are even related to me. I don’t appreciate it when they shriek at me about it. And usually, they ask the question within earshot of their beloved prizes, joinedat-the-hip husbands. Do they really want to know what I do all day long? Or do they not-so-subtly want to point out that they still have a man to take care of and I don’t? They usually follow up by bragging about how many years they have been married. Not so surprising is the fact

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Dec. 3: This year you have more on your plate than you might choose to deal with.

that none of my fellow single retired friends ever asks me that question. Many, including me, have traveled the world. And some of us may even have romantic interests. Is that what these nosy people want to hear? How is one supposed to respond to their interrogations? — Doing Whatever I Want All Day Long and Loving It Dear Doing: Don’t let it get to you.

Behold Lawrence’s ginkgo trees

inkgo trees dot the landscape of downtown Lawrence, barely noticeable until this time of year when their late-clinging leaves turn yellow and their silvery bark stands out in contrast to the mix of tree species with which they are interspersed. Ginkgo, also known as maidenhair tree or the Latin Ginkgo biloba, is remarkable because it is believed to be the oldest tree species still in existence today.

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith Shutterstock inages

Chinese scientists have finally mapped the genome of this complicated species and have recently published a draft of the findings. They hope a better understanding of ginkgo’s gene sequences will provide a resource for how the species has survived for 270 million years, how it so effectively wards off insects and disease, and how it survived the atomic bombing (among other species) in Japan in World War II. Besides its status as a living fossil, gingko is unique in the way it produces fruit and seed. Gingko is dioecious, meaning there

are male and female trees. Male trees produce flowers and pollen; female trees produce flowers that collect the pollen and mature into seeds. This is where the uniqueness comes in: Unlike other broad-leaved trees, gingko seeds develop into a sort of half fruit, half seed that can best be described as resembling that of a pine tree. It is the unique seed that puts gingko in a scientific division all by itself. The unique fruit also has a distinct, unpleasant smell. Horticulturists generally equate the odor of gingko seeds to that of dirty socks

or terribly foul cheese — the kind you can smell from a block away. Fortunately, the trees planted in downtown Lawrence and most commonly in the landscape are male clones that will not produce the stinky seeds. The fall color of the male trees is less brilliant than that of female trees but still typically turns to a bright yellow or golden shade. Ginkgo is native to China, with trees living there today that are believed to be more than 1,500 years old. (For contrast, the redwoods are believed to have specimens more than 2,000

years old but the species has only existed for about 240 million years.) Male ginkgos are gaining popularity as an urban species because of their pest resistance, adaptability and tolerance of confined root space. Although open-grown ginkgos can grow to 60 feet or more, trees will stay smaller with limited root growth to the point that they can even be trained as bonsai. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for KState Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation. She is the host of “The Garden Show.”

Ginkgo trees have distinctively shaped leaves that turn bright gold in autumn.

KANSAS VOLLEYBALL

END OF THE LINE Creighton edges KU in five-set thriller By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

The closer a team comes to winning only to lose, the tougher it is to digest. It’s difficult to imagine a team in any sport coming much closer to victory only to fall just short than Kansas did in the second round of the NCAA volleyball tournament Friday in Horejsi Center. Creighton survived and advanced with a 3-2 victory taken in an extremely suspenseful fifth set that required extra points to decide. The 20-18 score only hints at the competitiveness of it. The schools were tied 15 times in the fifth set alone and Creighton didn’t put Kansas away until its seventh match point. Afterward, Kansas coach Ray Bechard sat at the table for the press conference, flanked by the team’s three seniors. Cassie Wait, Big 12 libero of the year, had no voice left because she had spent it communicating on the floor. She answered the questions with a scratchy whisper.

Self finds ways to keep Jayhawks fresh By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After averaging more than 35 minutes per game apiece during the first five Kansas basketball contests of the season, lead guards Frank Mason

III and Devonté Grahahm have been able to kick back down the stretch of the Jayhawks’ two most recent victories, gaining important rest after an early-season onslaught of big minutes and tough opponents.

But while their recent sub-30-minute outings have been nice — both on their legs and on the scoreboard — Kansas basketball coach Bill Self believes that true rest comes not on game days but in the hours in between.

“They talk about that,” Self said of players like Mason and Graham logging fewer minutes, which may or may not continue at 2:30 p.m. today, when the Jayhawks (6-1) play host to Stanford (6-2) at Allen Field-

LHS boys claim opening victory By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

The fourth quarter didn’t follow the script that Lawrence High’s boys basketball players planned, but Friday’s 5349 victory over Topeka in the 2016-17 season-opener will go in the record books. The win marked the 100th career victory for coach Mike Lewis, and the Lions gathered around their coach at mid-court following the win, holding up a congratulatory sign before retreating to the locker room to celebrate with cookies. “I’m just proud of the way our guys found a way

to win that game,” said Lewis, who improved his record to 100-58 in his eighth year at the head of the program. “I didn’t go into this concerned with my 100th win. Most people who know me know it’s definitely not about me and it’s not about my record. Lawrence High is much bigger than Mike Lewis.” The Lions (1-0) led by as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter before watching the Trojans respond with a 13-2 run for a one-point lead with two minutes left. Topeka junior guard Reece White, who played at Free State last year, scored six

house. “I don’t know, with a 22-year-old, what the value is in playing 28 (minutes) instead of 32. I think there’s other values that may not (be) thought about.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ANTHONY SELDEN breaks for a layup > LHS BOYS, 4D against Topeka High on Friday night at LHS.

Lawrence High’s girls basketball team returned all five starters from last season, but that didn’t mean the Lions were immune to any first-game rust or jitters Friday. The Lions started playing their best in the second half and eventually rolled to a season-opening 56-44 victory over Topeka in the Jungle. After taking a fourpoint lead into halftime, the Lions opted for a fullcourt press defense to open the second half and it worked just the way they’d planned. The Trojans turned the ball over 13 times in the eight-min-

ute third quarter, along with missing seven shots. “They looked a little tired after that first half, after that first run that we hit them,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said. “We really haven’t worked on a press at all, but if we could just get up when they started going to some of their JV guards that we could do that and it worked and it kind of spread it out a little bit.” With the defense forcing turnovers, the LHS offense responded with a 12-3 run over the first four minutes of the third quarter. Sophomore point guard Hannah Stewart opened the scoring with

Nassau, Bahamas (ap) — Tiger Woods saved par from the dunes with a shot so good that two spectators ran over and scooped up sand for a souvenir. It also served as motivation Friday at the Hero World Challenge. The tee shot on the par3 eighth that landed next to a bush was so bad that Woods said he told caddie Joe LaCava after his par putt, “I’m not dropping a shot.” And he didn’t.

KANSAS TEAMMATES , FROM LEFT, MADISON RIGDON, CASSIE WAIT, Kelsie Payne (8) and Jada Burse react to losing the final set against Creighton in an NCAA volleyball match Friday night at Horejsi Center.

Volleyball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

played such a huge role in willing Kansas to an 8-0 record in fifth sets heading into the night with so many blocks, tried to talk without crying, but failed, so she did both at the same time. Maggie Anderson, who finished the tournament with four service aces without an error, kept her composure, although Bechard almost lost his taking about how much Kansas volleyball meant to Anderson and how much he’ll miss all three seniors. The loss ended KU’s dream of returning to the sport’s biggest stage for a second consecutive year three victories and one regional short of the 2015 postseason accomplishment. One year after reaching the Final Four for the first time in school history with an upset vs. No. 1 seed USC, the Jayhawks (27-3) grabbed another first by winning the Big 12 title, finishing a game ahead of Texas. Creighton (28-6 and ranked 21st in the nation) won Friday’s match by

scores of 21-25, 25-20, 2517,16-25, 20-18 to avenge a similarly tight five-set match it lost in Omaha in September. “I think we were pretty pumped when we saw we were coming to Kansas,” Creighton junior setter Lydia Dimke said. “I know a lot of people could be saying, ‘Oh, Kansas is a hard draw,’ but we were saying, ‘Yeah, we want to come back and beat them and we want to do it in fashion on their home court.’ We were excited and we remembered that. That game (in September) was a tough loss that we’ve remembered all season. We weren’t going to let it happen again.” Creighton coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth called Bechard “a mentor to me.” “Hats off to them on a phenomenal season,” Bernthal Booth said. “To some degree we’re playing with house money and I think the pressure is tough. They obviously gave us everything we could handle. It was surreal.” Kansas junior Kelsie Payne, Big 12 player of the year, repeatedly rifled lasers in big situations and finished with a game-high 26 kills and .375 hitting

percentage. Classmate Ainise Havili, Big 12 setter of the year, contributed 53 assists and 18 digs on a night she struggled serving (four service errors). Wait had 27 digs, including a couple of fifth-set beauties that thrilled the crowd. Bernthal Booth and Bechard both felt as if the match featured teams too good to face each other in the second round. “I think it’s unfortunate we hit so early,” Bernthal Booth said. “Kansas should be moving on and I feel like we’re a team that deserves to move on. We’ve always known Kansas is a team of winners. To go 8-0 in fifth games all season tells you they know how to win. . . .

For Anderson, Soucie and Wait, it’s over. “We gave them a few minutes, but obviously, it was pretty quiet when we got in there,” Bechard said of the post-match locker room scene. The coach then shared with shaky voice an anecdote about a conversation between Anderson and associate head coach Laura “Bird” Kuhn. Anderson, Bechard said, had just received her K ring and instead of engraving it with MA19 — her initials and number, as many players do — she High School Boys chose “MDCT.” Abilene 47, Smoky Valley 35 “MDCT?” Kuhn said to Arkansas City 55, Winfield 35 Attica 47, Argonia 46 Anderson.

she made some brilliant moves. I thought she played really well with two fouls. I thought I’m either going to get us back in this game or I’m going to look like the biggest idiot in the world playing her that early.” The only downside to Lawrence’s second half was a long scoring drought in the fourth quarter. The Lions led by 17 points with five minutes left before missing their next 10 shots and failing to slow the offense down to drain the remaining clock. “To be honest, I feel like we could’ve played a little better,” Ajekwu said. “We know what we’re capable of — like 10 times better. But we pulled through. We did what we were supposed to do.”

a 3-pointer, then 6-foot-3 sophomore forward Chisom Ajewku followed with a layup-and-the-foul bucket. Ajekwu picked up two quick fouls in the first quarter, but erupted for a fast four points and three rebounds when she returned to the floor in the second quarter. It was all a part of a 9-0 run after the Lions (1-0) trailed by seven points at the end of the first quarter. “She played with a good intensity,” Dickson said of Ajekwu, who finished with nine points and a team-high eight rebounds. “She didn’t finish great tonight but

Dickson added: “We didn’t have our ‘A’ game but we did enough to win, which is the coach’s dream. You win the game and you get so many things you get to work on.” The Lions didn’t have their best offensive day — 29 percent shooting on 66 shots — but were just thrilled with the result. Plus, they had an opportunity to show off their depth when Dickson employed some substitutions like a hockey line change. Off of the bench, Tamo Thomas, a transfer from Royal Valley, scored 10 points, tying senior guard Olivia Lemus for the most on the team. LHS sophomore Sammy Williams, who filled in for Ajewku during foul trouble, grabbed six rebounds and a steal.

“We were a little out of control and playing a little too fast,” Dickson said. “Topeka High hit some shots.” The Lions will travel to Topeka Hayden, ranked No. 2 in Class 4A-II, at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

3-pointer from the corner and a layup-and-the-foul bucket. Down by a point, LHS senior Jackson Mallory grabbed a steal on the perimeter and dribbled coast to coast. Mallory missed his layup attempt, but 6-foot-7 senior forward Kobe Buffalomeat grabbed the miss and put it back up for a one-point advantage. After Topeka (0-1) missed a shot and fouled LHS senior guard Austin Miller, Buffalomeat noticed a smaller defender than usual next to him in the free throw lane. Miller missed the free throw, but Buffalomeat scored on a putback — after missing once — for a 50-47 lead. “I know I’m a big part of this team,” Buffalomeat said. “I have to step up. I have to show these younger guys what to do.” The Trojans cut their deficit to two points with 15 seconds left, but the Lions avoided a turnover on their inbounds play and sophomore guard Clarence King knocked down two free throws with seven seconds remaining to seal the victory. “It was a little nervewracking but I had belief in myself that I could knock them down,” said King, a transfer from AC Prep. The 6-foot-1 King, a star receiver on the football team, finished with 10 points in his varsity debut, showcasing no-look passes and shiftiness on drives to the rim. The Lions featured plenty of young talent that showed flashes of potential along with growing pains. Sophomore point guard Trey Quartlebaum scored seven of his nine points in the first half. Sophomore Brett Chapple, the classic glue guy, had four points, five rebounds and three steals. Junior Anthony Selden had four rebounds and volleyball-like swat on defense. “We just want to get guys out on the floor and see where we’re at,” Lewis said. “We’re not really sure exactly who we are yet and it might be a while. We might be into January before we really figure it out.” The Lions will play Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North in the first round of the Blue Valley Shootout at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at Blue Valley High.

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Control Stanford’s supporting cast

Patience on offense

Avoid silly fouls

Because of the style Stanford chooses to play, with long possessions, a slower tempo The name that jumps out of the Stanford and a desire to dig in on both offense and box scores and stat sheet is that of junior defense, it can be tempting for opponents to Reid Travis, who enters this one averaging want to jack up shots in an attempt to get a double-double and playing as consistently the tempo going. It’s important that Kansas well as anybody Kansas has faced. not fall into that trap and, instead, shows the More about Travis in the Mega Matchup, patience required to run good half-court sets but Kansas can win this game even if Travis and get to the free throw line. If there’s one goes off. In order to do that, the Jayhawks area where the Jayhawks can increase the will have to limit the production from an pace, it’s in transition, where the Jayhawks underachieving group around him. have a serious speed and quickness advan“We have some guys that I don’t think tage. Even with that in place, it won’t be are playing at full capacity,” Stanford coach easy, as the Cardinal are averaging 14 turnJerod Haase said earlier this week. “And if overs per game and do not often put themthey can have breakthrough games, that’ll selves in positions to try to play out of their be extremely important. While Reid has been comfort zone. If the Jayhawks can speed extremely consistent and I hope that can things up and force Stanford to play their continue, the supporting cast has to be great, style, they could win this game in fastbreak as well.” Names to watch in that group are points alone. But Stanford coach Jerod Haase junior guard Dorian Pickens (6-foot-5, 215 is well versed in making sure guys get back pounds), junior forward Michael Humphrey and giving up a little on offense to make sure (6-9, 245) and senior center Grant Verhothey don’t give up anything easy on defense. even (6-9, 250), the only other players on Stanford’s roster averaging more than 5 points per game.

This could be a key for every game, but it’s particularly important for Kansas in this one because of Stanford’s size and disciplined style. Carlton Bragg, Udoka Azubuike and Josh Jackson are going to have to play big and in order to do that they’re going to have to be on the floor. All three have been known to commit foolish fouls from time to time, but Kansas cannot afford them to do so in this one. Beyond that, the KU guards are going to have to stay out of foul trouble as well. Even though the Cardinal lineup is full of size, Kansas can negate that size by dictating the tempo and forcing Haase and company to go small to try to contain the KU guards. That won’t be nearly as effective if Frank Mason, Devonté Graham, Lagerald Vick or Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk find foul trouble and make it more difficult for Self to unleash his four-guard looks. — Matt Tait

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Stanford’s Reid Travis vs. KU’s big men

Tuesday night, in their sixth victory of the season, the Jayhawks were as good as they needed to be against Long Beach State, a team KU coach Bill Self called probably the third best team his squad had faced this season. That was particularly true in the areas of 3-point shooting (14-of-26), transition and rebounding, but the challenge goes up a level this weekend against Stanford. Self warned after the Long Beach State game that this weekend was going to be a whole different kind of challenge for his team, which has grown a lot since splitting season-opening match-ups with Indiana and Duke. The Jayhawks will be pushed physically and mentally against Stanford and the game figures to carry at least a little extra emotion given the fact that it’s a clash between Power 5 programs and a rematch of KU’s loss to Stanford in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament. Frank Mason and Landen Lucas are the only Jayhawks still on the roster who played in that game. And even though Stanford is a different team coached by a different leader, you can bet that loss is not something either player, nor their head coach, has forgotten.

At 6-foot-8, 245 pounds, Stanford junior Reid Travis is a load for most teams to handle. Through the Cardinal’s first eight games of the 2016-17 season, Travis leads the team in both scoring (16.3 ppg) and rebounding (9.5 rpg) and is shooting .542 from the floor in an average of 30.8 minutes per outing. He’s not a 3-point threat, has not shown great feel for setting up teammates and also is shooting just .645 from the free throw line in eight trips a game. The Jayhawks possess the necessary length to bother Travis and keep him from scoring at the rim, but no matter which player guards him, the Stanford junior should be able to create some sort of advantage, especially if KU senior Landen Lucas (6-10, 250) does not play or continues to be bothered by foul trouble if he’s out there. Udoka Azubuike has plenty of size but not necessarily the speed or savvy. Josh Jackson may get a turn on him but will be giving up nearly 40 pounds if he does. Sophomore Carlton Bragg could be the Jayhawks’ best option on Reid defensively, with the necessary size and length to slow him down. But Bragg will have to play much smarter and be much more physical if he wants to keep Travis from recording another double-double.

Hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

The biggest of those, at least in Self’s eyes, comes during his team’s preparation for each game. Instead of running through the scouting report for each opponent while on the practice floor, Self takes it out of the gym and puts it in front of the television screen. “You stop and think

about it, that’s two scouting reports every team over 35 games, that’s 70 scouting reports so maybe some people have their guys on their legs an extra 35-50 hours, where I don’t allow my guys to stand during scouting report,” Self said. “Things like that, maybe reducing practice time or reducing reps in practice, I actually think that is as important as a number of minutes.” The belief there is that these players are finely

conditioned athletes in the physical prime of their lives. While it sounds good to have a key player log just 28 minutes instead of playing closer to the full 40, resting for that 5-10 minutes of game time is not nearly as crucial as finding down time the rest of the week. This practice is something Self has done going back to his days at Illinois. He learned it from former Utah coach, the late Rick Majerus, and liked

it because it fell in line perfectly with the way he wanted to coach and teach. “I’ve always thought scouting report should be a classroom setting, where you sit down and you show ’em and then you ask questions and guys have to have answers,” Self said. “I’ve never thought scouting report was a time where you actually defend (the opponent’s) actions. I always thought you did that in drills during practice. You’re gonna defend

their actions, but you may do it in a three-minute segment during practice or a five-minute segment in practice.” Although Self acknowledged that keeping players as fresh as possible for as long as possible was ideal — he admitted that Mason may have been worn down by the end of last season because of how much he was used — he also proved he was willing to operate in the reality that basic math dictates.
