HOW DOES LAWRENCE COMPARE? Gas prices have fallen an average of 2 percent statewide since this time last year, but Lawrence has seen a much sharper decrease. Here’s how we compare with other Kansas communities, based on Monday’s gas prices.

ne thing I’ve learned over the years is that Thanksgiving can be a time when you go through a lot of gasoline. Pulling the trailer full of mashed potatoes to grandma’s house can really put a dent in the fuel mileage. Maybe you are going to do some traveling as well, so here’s a look at some news on gasoline prices. The biggest news is that gasoline prices in Lawrence aren’t nearly what they used to be. Yes, gasoline prices have fallen nearly everywhere in the past year, but Lawrence has seen the largest one-year decline of any Kansas community, according to one Chad Lawhorn recent report. clawhorn@ljworld.com AAA Kansas tracks the average price per gallon in 10 Kansas communities, plus the statewide average. Based on prices from Monday, Lawrence had seen a 7 percent drop in gasoline prices since the same time a year ago. That compares with a 2 percent drop in the statewide average and a 2 percent increase in the national average. On Monday, the Lawrence average was $1.81 per gallon compared with the statewide average of $1.90 and the national average of $2.14. Yet, I still hear somewhat frequently from readers about how gasoline prices are out of whack in Lawrence. Well, here is a number that will cause those folks to have cranberry sauce come out their ears: Lawrence has the eighth lowest average gasoline price of any city in the country, according to the folks at AAA. But the readers who complain about gasoline prices aren’t without some basis. Frequently, they point to gasoline prices in Topeka, or along the turnpike on the way to Topeka, or in small towns between here and Topeka.

Brownback: No furloughs, layoffs in budget proposal Associated Press

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration said he won’t propose furloughs or layoffs of state workers in his January budget proposal. Brownback spokeswoman Melika Willoughby said the Republican governor intends to propose a budget that will make layoffs and furloughs unnecessary. The state is facing a $350 million budget shortfall, according to the Topeka

BRIEFLY Abduction suspect was in U.S. illegally W ichita ( ap ) — Immigration officials say a Dallas woman accused of killing a mother and abducting her baby was living in the country illegally when she was released from a Kansas jail this summer before federal authorities could request she be detained in connection with a previous kidnapping incident. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Wednesday it did not receive the July 25 arrest list from the sheriff’s office showing Yesenia Sesmas’ name until the following day. By then the Mexican national had been released. The agency says it would have asked she be held if it had been advised in time. The sheriff’s office says Sesmas was released on bond within 24 hours. She is in a Dallas jail accused of killing a Wichita woman last week and abducting her baby.

abortions was given a more lenient sentence Wednesday of at least 25 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole. At a surprise resentencing hearing, prosecutors withdrew their request that Scott Roeder serve at least 50 years before parole eligibility. Roeder also was sentenced to an additional two years for aggravated assault for threatening two church ushers as he fled. Roeder was convicted in January 2010 of premeditated first-degree murder for the shooting death of Dr. George Tiller as he was serving as an usher in the foyer of the doctor’s church in Wichita on May 31, 2009. Tiller’s murder was among the most noto-

Well, the same report does show that Topeka does have an extraordinarily odd gasoline market right now. For some reason, Topeka has the fourth lowest average price of any city in the country, according to AAA. Odds are, though, you will do pretty well anywhere you buy gasoline in Kansas. The study says Kansas has the fourth lowest average gasoline price of any state in the country. But wait, before filling up for the trip to Aunt Bessie’s, you may want

District Court for further proceedings. Friday was convicted in 2008 for the brutal beating death of Jerry Lee Deshazer at his southeast Lawrence mobile home and was sentenced to 14.5 years in prison. Deshazer, who was 62, had been beaten in the head with a bottle during an altercation on Feb. 1, 2008. A coroner’s official testified at trial that he died from a massive loss of blood from blunt force trauma to his head that peeled back his scalp. According to court records, Lawrence police detective Lance Flachsbarth tracked down Friday at her Topeka home and brought her back to Lawrence for questioning, and after a late-night interrogation that lasted more than three hours, she eventually confessed to killing Deshazer. The Kansas Supreme Court upheld her conviction in 2013. But she later filed a second appeal under the state’s “habeas corpus” law claiming the

tion of whether the confession was voluntary, and her attorney did not even challenge the fact that even if it was voluntary, the tape may have included comments from the interrogating detectives that should not have been shown to a jury. The appeals court noted that “the interrogating detective repeatedly swore and shouted at Friday, called her names, and questioned her truthfulness. None of these issues were raised by trial counsel at the suppression hearing.” “In light of this failure, we find Friday has presented a substantial issue warranting an evidentiary hearing and the district court erred in denying this part of Friday’s (habeas corpus) motion,” the panel wrote. The decision was written by Judges Michael Buser, G. Gordon Atcheson and Anthony Powell. Unless the state appeals the decision further, Friday’s case will now go back to Douglas County District Court for further proceedings.

trial court never should have admitted that taped confession into evidence and that her first courtappointed attorney failed to adequately challenge it. She also argued that her third attorney, who tried the case, was ineffective because he did not call an expert medical witness that the court had previously approved to challenge testimony of a coroner who testified for the prosecution. The habeas corpus statute allows a prisoner to claim the right to be released or to challenge a sentence if the sentence was imposed “in violation of the constitution or laws of the United States, or the constitution or laws of the state of Kansas ...” In an unpublished opinion released Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the

Kansas Court of Appeals rejected her argument that the medical witness should have been called, saying that she “has not provided any evidence to suggest the victim died from anything other than blunt force trauma and the additional factors the coroner presented.” But the panel said the trial court did not properly consider her motion to suppress the taped confession, which occurred during the threehour interrogation that took place between 12:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. during a period when Friday was pregnant. In the opinion, the judges said that when the trial court held a hearing on a motion to suppress the tape, the court did not review the tape itself. The appellate panel also said the court did not fully consider the ques-

rious acts of violence since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized the procedure nationwide in 1973. It alarmed the abortion rights community and came as numerous conservative states, including Kansas, passed restrictions making it harder for women to obtain abortions. The hearing Wednesday came just days before Roeder was set to go before a jury on Monday for what had been anticipated to be a two-week sentencing hearing. Roeder’s original life sentence with no chance of parole for 50 years was among many vacated after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that juries, not judges, must decide whether to increase punishment. Roeder was subdued throughout the proceeding and chose not to make a courtroom statement before the judge pronounced his sentence. That was in contrast to

the previous sentencing hearing that Roeder used as a forum to espouse at length on his anti-abortion views in an effort to justify his killing the doctor to save unborn babies. Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said that the decision not to seek the added time was reached by prosecutors after examining Roeder’s health, his expected life span and the likelihood of whether he would ever be released from prison alive. He did not elaborate on Roeder’s health issues. Tiller’s family was also consulted, he said. Bennett told reporters after the hearing that “rather than putting the community and the victim’s family and witnesses through another contested hearing” in order to extend a 58-year-old defendant’s parole eligibility from 25 to 50 years, the state decided to withdraw the request.

He cited the 58-yearold defendant’s declining health and the unlikelihood of him living long enough to ever get out of prison. Bennett said the decision was made “in the best interest” of the community and Tiller’s family. Bennett also read a statement from Tiller’s family saying nothing will change the fact Tiller was assassinated, and the family continues to grieve his loss. The family cited the “very difficult and emotionally draining trial” in which Roeder was found guilty, and thanked people involved with ensuring it was a fair trial. Tiller’s family said they had decided to support the sentence of a minimum 25 years in prison without parole. “With this legal closure, the Dr. George Tiller family will continue to heal and thrive and live fully in our communities,” their statement said.

The abortion rights group Trust Women, which opened a clinic in 2013 in the same facility where Tiller once practiced, said in a statement its staff is grateful the doctor’s family has some measure of closure and healing. Its founder, Julie Burkhart, said Roeder deserves the maximum sentence allowed by law. “Dr. Tiller’s assassination most certainly left a hole in the reproductive rights movement, but we remain committed to this critical work in his honor and memory,” Burkhart said. Defense attorney Mark Rudy said after the hearing that he thinks his client is relieved it is over, and no appeal is planned. The defense has already lost on every other appeal issue and this is the minimum sentence Roeder could hope to receive, he said. “We are glad we can put this to rest,” Rudy said.

to consider whether she lives in Missouri. There are probably several good reasons to know whether Aunt Bessie lives in Missouri, and only one of them involves opossum for Thanksgiving dinner. The other one is that Missouri has the lowest average price of any state in the country — $1.85 per gallon — as of Monday’s AAA report. Oklahoma was at the second lowest at about $1.90 per gallon. Colorado and Nebraska both were significantly higher at about $2.07 per gallon. The report notes that Kansas’ statewide average for the Thanksgiving holiday is at its lowest point since 2008, when

the price per gallon was $1.81. The report also notes that gas prices for the Thanksgiving travel were $3.21 back in 2012. But maybe you are going to stay closer to home. If so, here’s a look at gasoline prices, based on Monday’s price, for the 10 Kansas communities tracked by AAA. l Emporia: $1.86, down 5 percent from a year ago. l Garden City: $1.94, down 3 percent from a year ago. l Hays: $2.01, down 6 percent from a year ago. l Kansas City, Kan.: $1.89, 2 percent from a year ago. l Lawrence: $1.81, down 7 percent from a year ago. l Manhattan: $1.95,

down 2 percent from a year ago. l Pittsburg: $1.87, down 2 percent from a year ago. l Salina: $1.83, down 6 percent from a year ago. l Topeka: $1.77, down 6 percent from a year ago. l Wichita: $1.89, up 1 percent from a year ago. The numbers above really do show that there has been a significant change in Lawrence gasoline prices over the last year. At this time last year, Lawrence was a penny above the statewide average. Now it is 9 cents below the statewide average. Last year it had the fourth highest average price of the 10 cities on the list. This year it

has the second lowest average price. What has happened? I don’t know. Perhaps impacts from Topeka’s extraordinarily low prices are starting to bleed into Lawrence. Maybe it is something else. Something is causing downward pressure on gas prices, and not just in Lawrence. One of the more eye-opening statistics from the AAA report was this: The average price per gallon in Kansas has dropped for 41 consecutive days. You know what that means? I can afford a bigger wagon.

Water park: Slide’s demolition not motivated by litigation By Jim Suhr Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — A company’s announcement that it will demolish its towering Kansas waterslide as soon as investigations into the death of a boy on the ride this summer have concluded was

motivated by uncertainty among park patrons, not any pending legal settlements involving the accident, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts and the family that runs it said in a statement Tuesday that the “Verrückt” ride at the Schlitterbahn park

in Kansas City, Kansas, will be permanently removed from its tower “once the investigation is concluded and we are given permission by the court.” The Texas-based company called the move “the only proper course of action.” “Coming up on the holidays, this time of year, it’s something

we’d like to set to rest,” company spokeswoman Winter Prosapio told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “When we’re allowed to take it down, we will take it down. We have no interest in having it up another hour.” Billed as the world’s tallest waterslide, Verrückt has been closed since Caleb Thomas

In lawsuit, subcontractor claims it’s owed $169K for work on HERE apartments By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

As Lawrence’s multimillion dollar HERE apartment complex neared completion, one subcontractor says its workers arrived on site to find the work behind schedule and below acceptable standards. On Nov. 14, the

company, Missouri-based RealState Investments LLC, filed a civil lawsuit against HERE’s owners and others, claiming it was owed $169,115 for increased costs due to the site’s mismanagement. The lawsuit, filed in Douglas County District Court, also lists Stevens Construction, of Madison,

Wis., and Fifth Third Bank Inc., of Cincinnati, Ohio, as defendants. Stevens Construction was contracted by HERE Lawrence to build apartments at 1101 Indiana St., while Fifth Third Bank holds the property’s mortgage, the lawsuit says. The defendants have not yet filed a response to

the lawsuit, though John Kitson, vice president of construction management of CA Student Living, the developer for HERE Lawrence, said in a written statement the parties “are working through final cost negotiations and expect to wrap this up soon.”

Second St., for a reported robbery, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. Inside the business, Rhoads said, two black men in their 20s wearing red sweatshirts and

armed with handguns demanded money. The two men fled the store with “an undisclosed amount of money,” Rhoads said. It was unclear which direction they headed after leaving the scene, she said. No injuries were reported, Rhoads said. Anyone with information on the robbery or the suspects is asked to call 785-830-7449.

BRIEFLY Candidate drops recount request Olathe (ap) — The Democratic candidate who fell short of unseating conservative incumbent Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook has dropped her request for a recount. But the Johnson County Election Office went ahead and released the results anyway because the recount already had been completed when Vicki Hiatt withdrew her request. The recount shows the 952-vote margin of victory for Pilcher-Cook remains the same. Pilcher-Cook got 51.3 percent of the vote, to Hiatt’s 48.6 percent. The only change is that each candidate received one additional vote from the paper ballots, which previously had been detected by the optical scanners as “blank votes.” Hiatt had expressed concerns previously that election night technical issues may have affected results.

In October 2015, RealState was contracted by Stevens Construction to work on the apartments’ kitchens and common areas and to install cabinets, countertops and sinks, the lawsuit says. For this work, Stevens Construction offered to pay RealState $654,449. Due to the nature of the work, “RealState was one of the last subcontractors on the project,” the lawsuit says. By the time the company arrived, “the project was behind schedule” and other subcontractors had completed work outside of their scope “due to mismanagement by Stevens Construction.” Before RealState’s employees began

Disaster declared after explosion Neodesha (ap) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has issued a disaster declaration after an explosion at a southeast Kansas chemical plant injured at least one person. The declaration announced Wednesday allows the National Guard to help respond to Tuesday’s explosion at the Airosol Inc. plant in the 2,500-person town of Neodesha. The effort includes providing bottled water to residents. Public water systems have been urged to close water intakes on the Verdigris River downstream from the plant to prevent contamination from substances used in the firefight. The blast sent a male employee to a hospital with burns that weren’t considered life-threatening. The Kansas Adjutant General’s Office also

Often, RealState employees would arrive to find they had no work for the day due to poor coordination from Stevens Construction, the lawsuit says. Other times, supplies and materials stored at the site overnight would be moved or missing the next day. In late July 2016, RealState pulled out of the site, having spent a total of $701,888 working on the complex, the lawsuit says. The extra money was spent due to unexpected additions to their work order and “Stevens Construction’s failure to properly coordinate the work.” So far, Stevens Construction has failed to pay a total of $169,115.41, which constitutes a breach of contract, the lawsuit says.

tenants on Aug. 19. Others, however, were not allowed to move in until later because their apartments were not yet finished. The $75 million HERE complex is made up of 624 bedrooms and 13,500 feet of commercial space; however, only about 90 percent of the rooms may be filled due to a lack of parking space. In an effort to solve the complex’s parking problems, two houses in the Oread Neighborhood are slated to be torn down and replaced by a parking lot. Most of that land is owned by the University of Kansas’s Endowment Association and will be leased to HERE for the parking spaces. As a part of the arrangement, though, tenants will be required to move their vehicles approximately 10 times a year for events like KU’s home football games. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

Mother should focus on health, hope son returns Dear Annie: As a child, I endured horrible physical and verbal abuse by my parents. As an adult, I found myself in an abusive relationship with a man. He lied to me about having a vasectomy and intentionally got me pregnant to keep me in his life “forever.” I was pregnant and destitute with nowhere to turn, so I made the biggest mistake of my life. I contacted my parents. They fed me and made sure I had everything I needed for my son. Over the years, I allowed my son to have a very limited relationship with them, and I monitored it closely. Now my son is 18 and has a very negative opinion of me. He moved in with my parents. It turns out that both my parents and his father have done noth-

For holiday, catch classic ‘Anne’ American prime-time Thanksgiving television traditions are difficult to establish. Why not turn to Canada for inspiration? PBS debuts a new version of “Anne of Green Gables” (7 p.m., check local listings), based on the beloved and best-selling 1908 novel by L.M. Montgomery. Just 15 years old, Ella Ballentine stars in the title role as the young girl sent by mistake to a farm run by brother and sister Marilla (Sara Botsford) and Matthew Cuthbert (Martin Sheen, “The West Wing”). Anne, a red-haired, pigtailed imp filled with curiosity and spunk, proves a bit much for the Cuthberts. Sheen has no problem handling some of the formal dialogue. It’s not as easy for a teenage actress to make it sound like her own. O In addition to “Anne of Green Gables,” PBS also airs a 2002 adaptation of “Pollyanna” (8:30 p.m.), based on the 1913 book by Eleanor H. Porter. “Pollyanna” stars Amanda Burton. O Viewers in search of Thanksgiving history can stream “The Pilgrims,” directed by Ric Burns, online: pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/pilgrims. O Streaming today on Acorn, the fourth season of “A Place to Call Home” continues one of television’s more addictive soap operas. An Australian period piece set in the 1950s, “Place” stars Marta Dusseldorp (“Janet King”) as a strident nurse and Holocaust survivor. The story runs the gamut, including themes of 1950s homophobia, anti-immigrant bigotry, secret lovers, political blacklists and police brutality. There are overlapping subplots involving foundling children and a clear demarcation between heroes and villains. O Among today’s many marathons, “The Way of the Turkey” festival presents 96 hours of martial arts movies, beginning with “House of Traps” (6 a.m., El Rey). Zombie fans can feast on “Z-Nation” (5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Syfy). TV One unspools 17 “Unsung” (5 a.m. to 9 p.m.) musical profiles. Season one of the underappreciated series “Party Down” (6 p.m. to midnight, Starz, TV-14), starring Lizzy Caplan and Adam Scott, airs tonight. The second season airs Friday evening.

Come together Take the time today to count your blessings and give thanks.

hanksgiving provides us the opportunity to pause and remember that for which we truly are blessed. That may seem difficult to do just weeks removed from a rancorous election that heatedly divided the country, often creating deep divisions within families that likely linger as they get together to break bread today. For those facing just such a quandary today, rest assured knowing that the nearly four-century history of American Thanksgiving celebrations is riddled with people of different ideologies and backgrounds coming together to look past their differences and instead give thanks for that which binds them. The first Thanksgiving is most often recognized as a three-day festival near Plymouth, Mass., in 1621. It featured English colonists who had come over on the Mayflower celebrating their first harvest with Native Americans from the Wampanoag tribe who had spent the previous months teaching the settlers how to fish, hunt and plant and harvest corn. The festival was repeated in 1623 and thereafter such harvest celebrations soon became a tradition among English settlements. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress designated days of Thanksgiving and in 1789, George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation, calling on Americans to celebrate the end of the Revolutionary War and the ratification of the Constitution. In the 1800s, many states, mostly in the North, established Thanksgiving holidays. But the states were not unified in their efforts. Most held the celebration on different days. Starting in the 1820s and continuing for more than three decades, Sarah Josepha Hale — an author best known for writing the nursery rhyme, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” — championed the creation of a national Thanksgiving holiday. Hale’s advocacy for the Thanksgiving holiday mostly fell on deaf ears until President Abraham Lincoln finally granted Hale’s wish. In 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Lincoln signed a proclamation establishing Thanksgiving as a national holiday to be held on the last Thursday of November. “The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies,” Lincoln wrote in his proclamation. “To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.” Throughout history, leaders like Lincoln have used Thanksgiving celebrations as a chance to set aside differences, heal wounds and share in that which binds us. As we gather around dinner tables today, may we keep that history close, celebrate our blessings and give thanks for that which brings us together.

From the Kansas Daily Tribune for Nov. 24, 1866: l “We see it stated that years the citizens of Junction City ago raised three thousand dolIN 1866 lars towards starting a daily paper in that city. We don’t know whether this is true, but it ought to be, and it ought not to be told if it is not. To our knowledge, it is an awfully hard business to sustain a daily. We started the Tribune on the very ashes of a ruined town, and while many who had fled from apparent death were unwilling to venture back – started it not only without a cent of aid, except a six months’ credit at the type foundry – and we know how difficult it is to get along…. It is a thankless business, this thing of running newspapers.” — Reprinted with permission from local writer Sarah St. John. To see more, go online to www.facebook.com/DailyLawrenceHistory.

Thanksgiving is not just a day I was sitting in the service department of my Toyota dealer, staring at a book without seeing it as I waited for my car. God was next to me, watching “The Price is Right.” “Eight-hundred fortynine dollars and ninety-nine cents,” he said. “Huh?” I said. “The retail price of a stainless-steel Kenmore 4.2 cubic foot freestanding gas range,” said God, pointing to the television. On the screen, an excited young woman blurted, “Twelve hundred dollars!” Drew Carey looked sad for her as he revealed the price. God shook his head. “I tried to tell her,” he said. “If people would only listen to me …” “Oh,” I said, and returned to the book I wasn’t reading. God regarded me a moment. Then he said, “Transmission?” I looked up. “What?” God said, “I asked if you brought the car in because your transmission went blooey. Obviously, something’s got you down.” I sighed and closed the book. “Trump,” I said. “Trump?” “The guy that’s going to be our new president,” I said.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

You may expect better in America only because here, you have the freedom to demand better — and to work toward better. That’s all ‘America’ means.” “Oh yeah,” said God. “With the hair, right?” “Yeah,” I said. “That guy.” “Well, what about him?” On the screen above us, some man had Drew Carey in a bear hug. I sighed. “He’s the worst excuse for a leader I’ve ever seen,” I said. “What kind of ‘president’ spends his time whining about how he’s treated on ‘Saturday Night Live’? Or has to pay out $25 million to resolve a fraud case en route to inauguration? Not to mention that he’s assembling a cabi-

net only a Klansman could love.” “Frightening,” said God. “Yes,” I said. “Now here it is Thanksgiving and I find that, well, I’m just not feeling very thankful.” God was incredulous. “But look at all I’ve given you. You’ve got that great wife, you have a house, you have health and you’ve got that new granddaughter toddling around.” “Yeah,” I said. “Of course, I’m thankful for all that. But the country…” “You should thank me for the country, too,” he said. “How?” I said. “Like I just told you, there’s nothing to be thankful for.” “I disagree,” said God. “I did some of my better work here.” “Oh?” I said. “Which part? The bigotry, the stupidity or the misogyny?” God gave me a level look. “You’re angry,” he said. “Yeah,” I admitted. “I probably will be for the next few years.” “Why?” asked God. “Why?! Didn’t you hear what I said about the dope we elected? About the Masters of Evil he’s surrounding himself with? I expect better from this country.” “You expect better,” said God. On the screen above,

some lady shrieked and bit her fingernails as the Big Wheel spun. “Yeah,” I said. “I do.” “And what gives you this expectation?” “This is America,” I said. God laughed. “You people always say that word like a magic spell,” he said. “But there is no magic in it. Certainly no guarantee. You may expect better in America only because here, you have the freedom to demand better — and to work toward better. That’s all ‘America’ means. You had that freedom before this Trump person was elected, and you have it still. Not everyone does.” “So you’re saying the fight to form a more perfect union is always ongoing? And that even in our current predicament we can draw strength from knowing that? You’re saying that God abides even now, and that these are things to be grateful for on Thanksgiving Day?” God smiled. “I’m saying thanksgiving is not a day.” “Wow,” I said. “I never thought about it like that.” “You’re welcome,” said God. — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Nov. 24, 971, a hijacker later known as “D.B. Cooper” parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 dollars in ransom; his fate remains unknown. l In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection. l In 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television. l In 1969, Apollo 12 splashed down safely in the Pacific. l In 1974, the bone fragments of a 3.2 million-year-old hominid were discovered by scientists in Ethiopia; the skeletal remains were nicknamed “Lucy.”

Be thankful you have something to grumble at “Oh, don’t the days seem lank and long When all goes right and nothing goes wrong, And isn’t your life extremely flat With nothing whatever to grumble at!” — Gilbert and Sullivan

Washington — At this shank end of a shabby year, Americans still can be thankful: They do not have the problem of nothing to grumble about. As we steel ourselves for Thanksgiving’s obligatory routs and revels — does anyone really like turkey? or Uncle Ralph, who keeps turning up, like a bad penny? — Americans are cudgeling their brains for reasons to feel gratitude. So, herewith a call for everyone to temper gloom with lucidity. Things could be worse. And they often have been while Americans nevertheless were giving thanks. In her new book “Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience,” Melanie Kirkpatrick traces the evolution of this celebration from the Pilgrims’ 1621 feast with members of the Wampanoag tribe. Congress urged George Washington to “recommend” to the people a day of thanksgiving, which he did. Thomas Jefferson, however, did not feel “authorized” to promote this “intermeddling” of government with religious observance. On Oct. 3, 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed that henceforth the last Thursday in November would be an official national holiday. He did

“

Modern presidential campaigns, like the presidency itself, are too much with us, which makes it difficult to relegate politics to the hinterland of our minds.” so to thank God — and His instrument, the Union army — for the nation’s improving fortunes of war. And specifically for the victory at Gettysburg, where 47 days later Lincoln gave a short speech dedicating a cemetery. Thankfulness did not seem, and was not, inappropriate even in a context of American deaths in hitherto unimaginable numbers. Exactly 100 years later — 53 years ago — Thanksgiving fell six days after the murder of a president. In 1939, the New Deal having failed to banish the Depression — unemployment was 17.2 percent — Franklin Roosevelt unlimbered the heavy artillery, the plucky American shopper. Happy days would be here again because FDR was moving

Thanksgiving from the last Thursday in November to the third. In 1933, his first year in office, November had five Thursdays and Thanksgiving was on the 30th, and in 1939 it was again set to land on that day, to the horror of the nation’s biggest retailers, who coveted more post-Thanksgiving shopping days. But a Brooklyn haberdasher wanted the later date: “If the large department stores are overcrowded during the shorter shopping period before Christmas, the overflow will come, naturally, to the neighborhood store.” Generally, the nationwide reaction was, Kirkpatrick writes, “swift and vociferous.” The pastor at the Church of the Pilgrimage in Plymouth, Mass., lamented that “the sacred has given way to the secular forces of life.” Alf Landon, the losing Republican candidate against FDR in 1936, said the president has announced this change “to an unprepared country with the omnipotence of a Hitler.” Twenty-two of the 48 states adopted what Republicans cheekily called Franksgiving on Nov. 23, another 23 stayed with Nov. 30, and three states celebrated both days. Like much of the rest of the New Deal, moving Thanksgiving earlier failed to be an economic blessing. Nineteen days after Pearl Harbor, FDR signed a joint congressional resolution making the fourth Thursday in November Thanksgiving. Today’s president-elect, who is not always a human sunbeam, seems to regard

the nation (“a hellhole”) as akin to tundra in that anything done to it will improve it. Perhaps his deft presidential touch on the tiller of the ship of state will soon have America sailing toward greatness. But his coming ascension to the ship’s bridge might cause a polar frost, followed by scorching heat, at many Thanksgiving dinner tables. Uncle Ralph, squinting at Aunt Emma’s defiantly worn “I’m With Her” button, is going to say, with measured malice, “I wish you were.” At least there will not be anesthetizing boredom caused by the turkey’s tryptophan. Modern presidential campaigns, like the presidency itself, are too much with us, which makes it difficult to relegate politics to the hinterland of our minds. Shortly before Thanksgiving 2013, the student government of Barnard College in New York City sent to all students this email: “Happy Turkey Week. Thanksgiving is complicated. We urge you not to forget that this holiday commemorates genocide and American imperialism. But, enjoy the week off and make it into something meaningful.” The email’s authors deserve the fate of William Veazie, a Massachusetts church warden who in 1696 was spotted plowing a field on the day designated for Thanksgiving. Kirkpatrick says he was fined 10 pounds and sentenced to an hour in the pillory in Boston. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

amous writers, musicians, actors, sports figures — University of Kansas associate professor of film and media studies John Tibbetts has interviewed and painted portraits of more than 700 such personalities. Those portraits, all signed by their subjects, will have a permanent home at KU’s Spencer Research Library. KU Libraries announced this month that Tibbetts is gifting the portraits to the library through a multi-year series of donations. Through his career as a TV and radio broadcast journalist and as a scholar at KU, Tibbetts gained interviews with hundreds of celebrities and public figures, according to KU Libraries. For more than 40 years, he created pen-and-ink and watercolor portraits of such personalities, then asked them to sign the portraits during his interviews. The first installment given to the library will feature writers, musicians, broadcasters and sports figures — bandleader Cab Calloway, opera singers Kathleen Battle and Luciano Pavarotti, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and composer Philip Glass, among others, according to KU Libraries. Additional installments will feature film, Tibbetts television and theater performers. Famous names from show business Tibbetts interviewed and painted through the years include Julie Andrews, Whoopie Goldberg, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine, Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, Sean Connery, Spike Lee, Lauren Bacall and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Only one personage refused to sign his

A WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT OF SEAN CONNERY BY JOHN TIBBETTS, associate professor of film and media studies at the University of Kansas.

“

painting, Tibbetts told the Journal-World in a 2004 interview. That was Ralph Macchio — aka Daniel LaRusso of “Karate Kid.” The 2004 JournalWorld story also outlines how Tibbetts began painting the portraits in the first place: “Tibbetts first honed his skills rendering posters for the KU Film Society in the 1960s. It was during this stretch that he made his initial celebrity contact. “‘I wanted to write Ray Bradbury for a long time, just to say thanks for all the wonderful stories I’d been reading as a kid,’ he recalls. ‘So I did a drawing of him (in 1966) and sent it to him with no expectation of what

would happen. It came back to me, beautifully inscribed with a letter, which has initiated a correspondence which has lasted almost 40 years.’ “In the mid-1980s, the film critic began to spend weekends traveling to the coasts to gather inperson interviews for his various outlets. He started to explore the idea of painting stars and presenting them with the product. “‘It was a way of connecting with people,’ he says. ‘It shows them that I am interested in them and put out something with my own energies to say “thank you” or “I’m interested to meet you.”’” Tibbetts’ paintings will join about 140 of his television interviews currently available online through KU ScholarWorks (kuscholarworks.ku.edu). Once catalogued, the paintings will be viewable by request in the Spencer Research Library reading room. “They are a part of my life, almost my biography,” Tibbetts said, in the KU Libraries announcement, “and I hope others will enjoy the experience of the interviews, including the paintings and audio.” — This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Electors say they’re under siege Republicans bombarded by thousands of pleas by letter, email, phone to switch their vote Joseph Gerth, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Joseph Baucum USA TODAY Network

To supporters of Hillary Clinton, the number looks intoxicating: 155 electors in states where the popular vote went for Donald Trump — some by slim margins — who apparently aren’t legally bound to vote for the GOP presi-

dential nominee when the Electoral College meets Dec. 19. Solicit them like lobbyists schmooze members of Congress, right? Persuade just a portion, and you’ve got the first woman president, winner of the popular vote, certified by a constitutional authority. She’s got 232 in the bag. She would need 38 “faithless electors” to win this game. That’s the problem with this

particular political fantasy. Though electors in several states report that they’re getting thousands of emails, letters and even telephone calls to ask them to switch their votes, they’re among the Republican Party’s most loyal members. “I fully intend to vote for Donald Trump,” said Jim Skaggs of Bowling Green, Ky., one of that state’s eight electors, who added that he really doesn’t like Trump. “It’s not a law, I don’t think. ... But I think it’s a duty.” He’s right. Kentucky is one of

“It’s bizarre. I don’t dare answer my phone.” Sharon Geise, elector from Mesa, Ariz.

28 states, according to the Congressional Research Service and additional USA TODAY research, that don’t mandate their electors to vote for the winner of their state’s popular vote. The Constitution and federal law are silent on the matter. More than 4.5 million sup-

porters have signed a Change.org petition advocating electors’ change of heart, but the desire is little more than a pipe dream, election experts said. Two Democratic electors in Colorado and Washington state, where Clinton won the electoral votes and electors are obligated under state law to vote for her, have launched their own movement that they’ve dubbed “Moral Electors” to achieve the same result — or more likely throw the decision to v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

During Donald Trump’s successful White House campaign, his massive crowds chanted, “Lock her up. Lock her up.” What he didn’t say was that, as president, he would not have the authority to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton, much less jail her, as Trump threatened during a debate. That’s the jurisdiction of the U.S. Justice Department, which is supposed to work outside the in-

fluence of politics. Now that he’s won the election, the president-elect appears to be sending a signal to Congress and perhaps even his incoming attorney general that it’s no longer politically beneficial to try to prosecute the former Democratic presidential nominee. Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC that the president-elect hopes Congress will forgo further investigations of Clinton. “I think when the president-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t

Traveling for the holidays? Watch out for these guys Study ranks states with worst drivers Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

The millions of people who take to the nation’s highways for Thanksgiving should keep a sharp eye out for Texas and Louisiana license plates: A study from a car insurance group says drivers from those states are among the worst in the country. The study by CarInsuranceComparison.com, a site that al-

lows people to compare insurance companies, looked at data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. It analyzed crashes in five categories: fatalities per 100 million miles traveled, failure to obey traffic signals or wear seat belts, drunken driving, speeding and careless driving. Rounding out the top 10 for worst-driving honors: South Carolina, North Dakota, Delaware, New Mexico, Nevada, Alabama, Arizona and Montana. Texas leaped from fourth place to a tie with its neighbor, Louisiana, for first place this year. It’s the only state where drivers place

among the top 15 in each of the five categories. Texas drivers rank third in drunken driving and ninth for fatalities per miles driven and speeding. Texas transportation officials noted Nov. 4 that at least one person had died on a state road every day for 16 years. To end the streak of 55,578 deaths, officials urged motorists to buckle seat belts, pay attention to the road and never drink and drive. “These deadly crashes are a sobering reminder that we must do everything in our power to stay focused and safe while driving,” James Bass, executive director of the state Transportation Depart-

ment, said in a statement. “Let’s end the streak.” Louisiana drivers rank the worst at obeying signals and fifth worst for fatalities per miles driven and careless driving, according to the study. “Texas and Louisiana have been notorious for bad driving for four or five years of this study,” said Josh Barnes, a spokesman for CarInsuranceComparison.com. “It shows you the humanerror factor is really there.” Traffic-related fatalities are rising after decades of declines — 35,092 people died in 2015 in traffic accidents, a 7.2% increase from a year earlier.

Special for USA TODAY

When The StarSpangled Banner was played at Monday night’s NFL game between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans, the sellout crowd cheered, defying predictions they would boo during the U.S. national anthem to show their unhappiness with the election of Donald Trump. The respectful reaction underscores a dramatic divide between what people think of America as opposed to what they think of the president-elect. His election comes as Mexicans embrace almost everything American — from sipping Starbucks coffee to shopping at Walmart (the country’s largest retailer) to watching Netflix and NFL games. Even Thanksgiving dinners and eating Americanstyle barbecue are catching on. “The level of affluence (in the USA) is what’s attractive to people,” Uber driver Juan Fernando Flanes said. “Trends in the United States become trends here. The only difference is that it arrives a month later.” The affection for Americana isn’t extended to the presidentelect: Many Mexicans greeted his MEXICO CITY

victory with jeers and expletives. Their anger is a reaction to his campaign labeling of some Mexicans who entered the USA illegally as criminals and “rapists” and his vows to deport millions of Mexicans, build a wall along the border at Mexico’s expense and renegotiate the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement that has brought billions of dollars in investment. Pre-election surveys showed huge increases in pro-U.S. sentiment over the past 15 years. The 2016 Latinobarómetro poll of Latin American attitudes found 76% of Mexicans had a favorable view of the USA. That compared with 15% with a negative view, the lowest level since 2000. “The improvement in the image of the neighboring country has a lot to do with President Obama, who Mexicans hold in very high esteem,” pollster Alejandro Moreno wrote in the newspaper El Financiero. “No national politician has an image as positive as Obama,” who has a favorable rating of 60%, compared with just 8% who view him unfavorably, Moreno said. Trump, by contrast, may start out as the least popular U.S. president since the 1840s, when James Polk ordered the invasion of Mexico, which cost the country its northern territory. The question is whether the new president will reverse Mexicans’ positive feelings about the USA for the better and whether

Now cross-border trade amounts to $1 million every minute. School textbooks downplay the Mexican-American War, millions have relatives living in the USA, and American culture is ever more appealing. American football is Mexico’s second-most-popular spectator sport, trailing only soccer. Mexicans fly to Dallas, Houston and Miami to attend NFL games. Tickets for Monday’s game sold out immediately, and some went for as much as eight times their face value on the resale market.

“It’s a way to show off your wealth,” said Esteban Illades, editor of the Mexican magazine Nexos. Mexico’s growing numbers of affluent citizens have become obsessed with conspicuous consumption, he said. “They want to live in a country where they can buy everything they want.” Since Trump’s election, the peso has fallen to record lows against the dollar, which crimps Mexicans’ purchasing power. Anti-Trump protests haven’t materialized as in Europe. After getting over the shock of his victory, many hope a Trump presidency won’t be as bad as feared. “We tell ourselves, ‘Everything will be fine, he’s going to become more moderate, he won’t be as violent as people say, he’s going to understand that the United States needs Mexico as much as Mexico needs the United States,’ “ said Guadalupe Loaeza, an author and columnist. “This idea of deporting 3 million Mexicans, it’s difficult for us to believe.” At least one fan outside the Azteca Stadium before the RaidersTexans game shared that optimistic outlook. “The (Trump) transition is only getting started. ... It’s too early to say what he will do,” said José Manuel Álvarez, a political party operative who wore a jersey with Texans defensive end J.J. Watt’s No. 99 on it. “You can say a lot of things in the campaign, but things are different when you’re in government.”

the House of Representatives as happened in 1824. “This is a long shot. It’s a Hail Mary,” P. Bret Chiafalo of Everett, Wash., told Politico. “However, I do see situations where — when we’ve already had two or three (Republican) electors state publicly they didn’t want to vote for Trump. How many of them have real issues with Donald Trump in private?” Where Chiafalo sees a Hail Mary play, some electors consider the drama more as harassment. “Hillary’s got a great campaign going,” said Sharon Geise, an elector from Mesa, Ariz., who estimates 8,000 emails have flooded her inbox. “It’s the same thing, pretty much. Basically: Vote for Hillary Clinton. It’s bizarre. I don’t dare answer my phone.” A dozen letters urging her to back anybody but Trump arrived at her home Thursday. “She has to stop all of this,” Geise said of Clinton. “This is ridiculous.” It’s not clear whether Clinton supports this movement. She conceded to Trump on the day after the election.

In Florida, a faithless elector would be charged with a misdemeanor, prohibited from casting an Electoral College vote and replaced, presumably with an alternate more faithful to the popular-vote results in the state, said Franita Tolson, a voting rights law professor at Florida State University. That elector’s political future within the GOP would be toast. Historically, fewer than two electors per presidential election have changed their votes because they didn’t want the candidate on whose slate they ran, according to FairVote.org, a District of Columbia-based non-partisan, non-

profit group. The most recent was in 2004 and might have been a mistake. Elector Susan Moore of Pensacola, Fla., has more than 800 emails, many of them part of the same form letter, in her inbox. “I think these people mean well,” she said. “But they’re asking us to do something that’s really not going to work out the way they want.” Joseph Gerth reports for The (Louisville) Courier-Journal, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez reports for The Arizona Republic and Joseph Baucum reports for the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal Contributing: Isadora Rangel, The (Stuart, Fla.) News

nal who would end up in jail was a powerful message in a campaign defined by harsh personal attacks more than policy differences. Republican strategists said Trump was never serious about putting his political opponent behind bars. “To Donald Trump, it was more a chant to get her out of government,” said Brad Blakeman, a former senior staff member to President George W. Bush. Indeed, legal experts had warned that, only under authoritarian regimes, can leaders unilaterally jail political dissidents and opponents, and especially not under the United States’ carefully constructed democratic system of checks and balances and separation of powers. Trump may risk angering some of his most enthusiastic backers, many of whom angrily taunted Clinton’s motorcade with signs reading “Lock her up” in campaign stops across the country. Judicial Watch, a group that’s pursued many investigations and lawsuits against the Clintons, responded with dismay to the news. “If Mr. Trump’s appointees continue the Obama administration’s politicized spiking of a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton, it would be a betrayal of his promise to the American people to ‘drain the swamp’ of out-of-control corruption in Washington,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. The investigation of Clinton’s private email server was an outgrowth of a special House committee to investigate the terror attacks in 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy credited the inquiry with driving down Clinton’s poll ratings. The strategy became increasingly effective as Republicans built up expectations that Clinton would be indicted by the FBI. Director James Comey, a Republican, determined that “no reasonable prosecutor” would press criminal charges based on the evidence. While Clinton enjoyed a sizable lead in head-tohead polls, Republicans cried foul, and Trump ramped up his complaints of a “rigged system.”

“He was brilliant in neutralizing the harsh negative attitudes towards himself by making Hillary Clinton equally distasteful. Now he’s shedding it once in office.” Larry Jacobs, University of Minnesota

“The investigation itself came out of a political atmosphere,” said Julian Zelizer, a presidential expert at Princeton University. “It was just trumped up during the campaign itself. Obviously, some of his supporters might be angry because they believed that chant. If he moves on to other issues, they will as well.” During the campaign, Trump threatened Clinton repeatedly with further investigation of her use of a private e-mail server as well as the fundraising practices of the Clinton Foundation. During one of their debates, Trump told her, “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation further.” After the election, Trump signaled he would not pursue Clinton or her husband, former president Bill Clinton. “I don’t want to hurt them,” Trump said this month on CBS’ 60 Minutes. “They’re good people. I don’t want to hurt them.” During her MSNBC interview Tuesday, Conway said Clinton “still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest or trustworthy,” and “if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that’s a good thing to do.” Jacobs, the historian, said calling off congressional investigators is “the right thing to do” for Trump. “Donald Trump doesn’t want to enter office with the lowest approval rating of any president in history, and he’s got to find a way to get out from underneath the acrimony of the campaign and at least get a little honeymoon,” he said. “The opening few weeks have been rocky.” Contributing: David Jackson

Pipeline protests: 7 history lessons Centuries of unkept promises underlie the Dakota Access tribal fight led by ‘water protectors’

“We were paid, but we weren’t paid as much as the people across the river were paid.” Marcella LeBeau, 97, of Eagle Butte, S.D., whose family was forced off their land to make room for dams

tory. Seven months later, this act passed, removing the Black Hills from tribal control. Overturning the 1868 treaty technically required a vote of three-quarters of the Sioux males, but that didn’t happen. The government got just 48 signatures from the Standing Rock Nation. DAWES ACT AND SHRINKING RESERVATIONS, 1887-89

This move pushed individual land ownership into reservation communities. It offered U.S. citizenship to Native Americans who accepted individual tracts of land and agreed to “adopt the habits of civilized life” for 25 years. In 1889, just after North and South Dakota’s admission to the Union, Congress acted to further shrink Indian land holdings and created five smaller reservations. Homestead Acts further eroded their size into the 20th century.

John Hult

@ArgusJHult (Sioux Falls, S.D.) Argus Leader CANNON BALL , N. D. Many terms tossed around at the Oceti Sakowin camp near the Standing Rock Reservation might be unfamiliar to the outside world. “Water is life” — “Mni Wiconi” in Lakota — is the refrain used by those opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline, who call themselves “water protectors” in reference to their concerns about leaks into the Missouri River. The safety of the water supply is the immediate issue at Standing Rock, but undergirding the fight is talk of treaties, discovery doctrines, environmental racism and centuries of unkept promises undergirding the pipeline fight. Here are key historical points to help understand what has animated Native American tribes and their supporters.

PICK-SLOAN PLAN OF 1944

THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY

This legal concept was used by European Colonial powers to justify the taking of aboriginal land. Essentially, it gave land title to any Christian nation whose explorers set foot upon non-Christian soil. In 1823, the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Johnson v. M’Intosh codified the doctrine into U.S. law, when Chief Justice John Marshall wrote an opinion stating that Native Americans could occupy land, but only the government could own it. Marshall, as it happens, stood to lose much of his own land if he’d ruled for the other side. FORT LARAMIE TREATY, 1851

This treaty with eight Native American nations drew boundaries in the Dakotas, Nebraska,

JOSH MORGAN FOR THE (SIOUX FALLS, S.D.) ARGUS LEADER

Wyoming and Montana and offered safe passage to travelers on the Oregon Trail and the right of the U.S. to build roads and forts. The treaty has been ignored, but it was never rescinded. This is the treaty referenced most often in coverage of the camp. Some land crossed by the Dakota Access Pipeline is within the 1851 boundaries for the Standing Rock, Cheyenne River and Yankton Sioux tribes, including the “treaty camp” from which protesters were ejected Oct. 27. FORT LARAMIE TREATY, 1868

This treaty created the “Great Sioux Reservation,” which includ-

ed the entirety of South Dakota west of the Missouri River. Much of the 1851 treaty land was included as Indian hunting ground. The U.S. promised to keep white settlers out of the reservation, but that promise collapsed quickly after the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, considered sacred by the Sioux. ACT OF FEB. 28, 1877

In August 1876, just after Gen. George Custer’s defeat at the hands of the Great Sioux Nation, Congress attached a “sell or starve” provision to the Indian Appropriations Act that tied food rations to surrender of the terri-

Alphonse LeRoy of the Yankton Sioux Nation, a seventhgeneration pipe carrier who has been hit by rubber bullets and peppersprayed during protests, stands outside one of the tribe’s campsites near Cannon Ball, N.D.

Massive flooding along the Missouri River inspired a plan to build a series of dams and reservoirs, including Lake Oahe. This required the taking and flooding of more than 200,000 acres of the tribes’ most fertile land, on which they hunted and from which they gathered the ingredients for traditional medicines. The tribes were paid pennies on the dollar for the flooding. Standing Rock, which lost 56,000 acres of bottom lands, estimated the value at $23 million, according to lawyer and historian Peter Capossela’s 2016 book The Land Along the River. The Bureau of Indian Affairs appraised it at $1.3 million. The land on which the main protest camp now sits and under which the Dakota Access Pipeline would be built belong to the U.S. by virtue of the Pick-Sloan plan. UNITED STATES V. SIOUX NATION OF INDIANS, 1980

This Supreme Court case sifted through the facts of the 1877 taking of the Black Hills. The justices ruled that the congressional action constituted a taking of property under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. The government was ordered to pay the tribes $17.5 million for the land, plus interest. The tribes have yet to accept payment, however. The money — more than $1 billion — remains in a trust with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

STEEL BEAM FALLS FROM CRANE, KILLING 2 WORKERS

Authorities and witnesses say a steel beam being hoisted at a New York City construction site fell after a cable snapped, killing a crane operator and a co-worker. The beam was being lifted when it came loose Tuesday afternoon in the Briarwood neighborhood of Queens. According to the New York Post, Deputy Fire Chief George Healy says the crane operator and a worker guiding the beam were killed. . POLICE: PACKAGE BOMB TARGETED MAN

A bomb stuffed inside a padded envelope exploded in a downtown Philadelphia apartment early Tuesday when a man opened the package, thinking it contained medicine, police said.

Turkey Day in space: Bird, beans and football

NASA VIA AP

Marcia Dunn

The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL , FLA . Turkey and football will be the main Thanksgiving headliners up on the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, the station’s commander, is serving as Thanksgiving chef for the six-person crew. He showed off the specialties he’ll be preparing in a video this week. “It’s going to be a little bit different for us up here in space,” he said, “but I’m going to try to make it as much like home as we can.” On Thursday, which is a regular workday for the crew, Kimbrough will warm up pouches of sliced turkey, candied yams, and cherry and blueberry cobbler for dessert. He also will add water to the bags of dehydrated cornbread dressing, green beans and mush-

rooms, and mashed potatoes. “You can’t have a Thanksgiving meal without green beans,” he noted. Mission Control promises to beam up some live football games — “to complete the experience,” Kimbrough said. It will be the second Thanksgiving in space for Kimbrough, who is one month into a fourmonth mission, and the third for American Peggy Whitson, who arrived at the orbiting lab Saturday for a six-month stay. One Frenchman and three Russians round out the crew. Kimbrough said he and the others will share what they’re thankful for this Thanksgiving. No. 1 on the list, he said, is being safe in space. NASA, meanwhile, is sharing its recipe that promise “out of this world” cornbread dressing. Don’t worry, it’s straight from Johnson Space Center’s food lab, “no freeze drying required.”

NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough shows a pouch of turkey he will be preparing for his crew in celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, his second in space, this year aboard the International Space Station.

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

The stock market has been Trumped-up since Election Day. The Dow Jones industrial average has jumped more than 700 points as Wall Street prices in what it believes will be a better business climate under president-elect Donald Trump, who is promising a pro-growth agenda that will power on the U.S. economy. The big question is whether the Dow and rest of the U.S. stock market can continue to move higher on the hope that Trump — and his policies of lower taxes, less regulation and fiscal spending — will deliver. History is on the Dow’s side. If you go back 100 years, December is the No. 1-performing month for

Amazon looks to expand online ticket business Mike Snider @mikesnider USA TODAY

It’s increasingly becoming Amazon and company CEO Jeff Bezos’ world, and we are just spending in it. The No. 2 richest man in the USA, Bezos owns The Washington Post and is building spaceships. The online retailer he founded in 1994 has grown beyond book sales to groceries, electronics, clothing and more, and Amazon streams video, makes movies and

provides cloud computing services ... and may be looking to build its own live sports network. Someday the company may even sell tickets to those events it broadcasts if its reach continues to expand. Several recent job postings — first noted by tech news site Recode — suggest Amazon is looking to grow its Amazon Tickets business beyond the U.K., where it started last year, to the USA and elsewhere in Europe. For now, the enterprise focuses on music and entertainment. “Amazon Tickets is a start-up business with a vision of becom-

ing Earth’s most customer-centric ticketing company, a place where event-goers can come to find and discover any ticket they might want to buy online,” ac-

cording to a description of the initiative in a job listing posted this month for an Amazon Tickets, Music principal business development manager. Amazon’s U.K. tickets business offers tickets for music, theater, and comedy. “As we grow our team to support our rapid expansion, we are looking for talented individuals to join us in delighting customers and having some fun along the way,” the job listing reads. Other Amazon Tickets jobs posted include software engineers and entertainment busi-

ness developers. “The purpose of the role is to help the Tickets team grow its business relationships in the entertainment industry to expand tickets selection across existing and new categories and territories by working with ticket rights-holders to reach agreements on distribution for sale to end customers,” reads the listing for a music business development manager. How challenging will an Amazon liftoff be in a marketplace that has an entrenched giant such as Live Nation Ticketmaster? Maybe Alexa knows.

Latest picks would bring diversity to Trump’s cabinet Associated Press

Washington — Presidentelect Donald Trump named Cabinet picks Wednesday who would bring some gender and racial diversity to his administration, as well as a degree of political independence, but raised questions about his pledge to seek Haley experience in choosing stewards of vast government bureaucracies. Trump’s picks for United Nations ambassador, Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South DeVos Carolina, and for Education secretary, Betsy DeVos, a billionaire advocate of school vouchers, were the first

“

We’re trying very hard to get the best people — not necessarily people that will be the most politically correct people, because that hasn’t been working.” — President-elect Donald Trump

two women named in a transition that had been dominated by white, male Trump loyalists. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants. Dr. Ben Carson, who is black, also said Wednesday that he was under serious consideration to serve as secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The latest selections also offer some political diversity and could buffer Trump from criticism that he was filling out the top echelon of his administration exclusively with people who had backed his campaign. Haley was openly critical of Trump during the Republican primary, endorsing two of his opponents before finally stand-

ing alongside the eventual nominee. DeVos was less outspoken in her reservations but contributed to at least two of Trump’s rivals and went into the summer nominating convention telling the Detroit News she wasn’t sure whether to back him. Both are stalwarts of the Republican Party establishment that Trump so vigorously challenged. But Haley and Carson, if he is chosen, would seem to contradict Trump’s statement a day earlier, in an interview with The New York Times, that he valued expertise in stocking his administration. “We’re trying very hard to get the best people — not necessarily people that will be the most

politically correct people, because that hasn’t been working,” Trump had said. “So we have really experts in the field. Some are known and some are not known, but they’re known within their field as being the best. That’s very important to me.” A popular and engaging governor and a rising star in the GOP, Haley, 44, has little background in foreign affairs. Carson, 65, is a retired neurosurgeon whose primary credential in housing policy may be that he once lived in tenement housing. Days ago, a senior adviser to Carson said the former GOP presidential candidate thought he lacked the background needed to manage a federal agency. Carson didn’t want to take a position that could “cripple the presidency,” Armstrong Williams, an adviser to both Trump and Carson, told the Hill newspaper. HUD is responsible for administering low-income housing assistance, fair-housing laws, housing development and aid to neighborhoods in distress.

On Wednesday, however, Carson indicated a change of heart. “After serious discussions with the Trump transition team, I feel that I can make a significant contribution, particularly to making our inner cities great for everyone,” he said on Facebook. DeVos, 58, does have long experience in education policy, advocating for conservative goals and tangling with teacher unions. She and her family — her father-in-law co-founded Amway and has a fortune Forbes estimated at $5 billion — are among the biggest donors to the Republican Party and to conservative Christian causes, including opposition to same-sex marriage. She is also former chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party. “Betsy DeVos is a brilliant and passionate education advocate,” Trump said in a statement. “Under her leadership, we will reform the U.S. education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families.”

Thanksgiving travel expected to be heaviest since 2007 Associated Press

Chicago — Elizabeth Thompson can’t wait to leave the big city behind and decompress over the Thanksgiving holiday at her grandmother’s house in rural south-central Indiana. But first she has to get there. On Wednesday, Thompson, 23, missed her Amtrak train from Chicago to Galesburg, Illinois, where she’d planned to catch a ride with a family member the rest of the way to Edinburgh, Indiana.

BRIEFLY Officer fatally shot near Detroit campus Detroit (ap) — A police officer has died a day after he was shot in the head while on patrol near a university campus in Detroit. Wayne State University Officer Collin Rose, 29, died about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday at a hospital, Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody said. Rose’s death had been reported earlier in a news release from school President M. Roy Wilson. “This is a tragedy felt by all of us,” Wilson said. Rose is the “only Wayne State officer ever to fall in the line of duty,” Wilson said. The five-year veteran of the university police force went through surgery earlier Wednesday, but his condition was described by the department’s chief as “very grave.” A suspect was arrested late Tuesday, but no charges have been filed.

“It’s just where we go to unplug and escape,” said Thompson, who had to decide whether to wait several hours for the next train or hop on a bus and get going. Americans took to the roads, air and railways Wednesday for what is expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in almost a decade. Almost 49 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more between Wednesday and Sunday, the most since 2007, because of lower gas prices and an improving economy, according to AAA.

And while they look forward to eating turkey and watching football, many are ready to abandon another, more recent, American pastime: rehashing the rancorous election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. “My mother specifically said, ‘We’re not going to talk about it,’” for her grandmother’s sake, Thompson said. Although nobody in her family supported President-elect Trump, “my grandmother is sick of hearing about it.” Sitting on their suitcases at a departure lounge at

A Million Questions. One Answer What could be more overwhelming than arranging a funeral? An endless list of decisions, the “whens and wheres”, and all at an emotionally difficult time. If only it could all be taken care of at one place, at one time.

O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, a major travel hub, Sharyn Ioffe and her brother Saul Ioffe said there’s a good chance politics will intervene this Thanksgiving when they arrive home in New York. “I’m pretty anxious about it,” said Sharyn Ioffe, 27, who supported Clinton, though others in her family sided with Trump. “I’m still very emotional about the election. I know you have to try and understand the other side. But I’m not there yet.” Saul Ioffe, 20, said he is expecting some heated exchanges.

“I’m battening down the hatches,” he said. Lines of cars, taxi cabs and buses dropping travelers off and picking others up at O’Hare terminals grew longer by early evening. Crowds grew steadily inside, too, as travelers pulled suitcases into departure terminals decked out with giants wreathes. A light, cold rain fell outside, but most flights as of evening were listed on big boards as “on time.” The Chicago Department of Aviation said on its website that delays were averaging 15 minutes.

The weather appeared to be cooperating for the most part, with no significant issues in the majority of the country, the National Weather Service said. The National Weather Service issued winter weather advisories for parts of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan as well as western and central Montana and central Idaho, New York and Pennsylvania for Wednesday night. A winter storm warning was in effect for parts of northwest Washington state, with heavy snow expected through Thanksgiving Day.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Giving thanks for Kansas’ Delightful Dozen

n the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m taking the opportunity to thank inseason KU athletes I enjoy interviewing the most. Meet the Delightful Dozen: 1 - Josh Jackson (basketball): Smart, honest, personable and candid in interviews, Jackson never slips into cliches and specializes in colorful responses. Loved his answer when he was asked about his reachway-back, rim-rocking slam in Monday night’s game victory over UAB. “Well, I’ve heard Jackson Russell Westbrook say, ‘I dunk the ball so hard so nobody challenges me when I go to the basket,’ so that’s what I’m trying to do,” Jackson said. I just figured it was fun throwing one down with such fury, but Jackson actually had a strategic plan behind it. Fascinating. 2 - Montell Cozart (football): Few recent Kansas athletes have taken as much criticism as Cozart over the past few years from fans and, to a lesser degree, from the media, and Telly, as teammates are fond of calling him, never changes his pleasant Cozart demeanor. He has extremely thick skin and doesn’t mail in answers during interviews. If I had to guess which KU athlete would maintain the most friendships with others from within the department for the rest of his or her life, I’d guess Cozart. Wait, I’m having a premonition. I’m in Athens, Ohio. It’s Sept. 10, 2017. I’m interviewing Cozart about returning a kickoff for a touchdown to help Kansas end its road losing streak. He works praise for quarterback Peyton Bender’s big day into his quote because he’s really good at calling attention to the accomplishments of teammates, especially quarterbacks. 3 - Daniel Wise (football): More than once, Wise has found himself explaining dustups with players from opposing teams. He always handles those queries with good humor and honesty. He’s never afraid to blast himself for letting his emotions get the best Wise of him and completely understands why he’s asked about it when that happens. His explanation of getting

MCKENZIE CALVERT (2) GOES UP FOR THE JUMP SHOT in the paint during Wednesday’s double-OT victory over Oral Roberts at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU tops Oral Roberts, 64-56, in double-OT game By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Kylee Kopatich couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched the ball drop through the bottom of the net. Sophomore McKenzie Calvert instantly greeted Kopatich with an emphatic chest bump following Kopatich’s first triple, which also served as the final dagger in Kansas’ 64-56 double overtime victo-

ry over Oral Roberts at Allen Fieldhouse. “It’s about time I made a three,” Kopatich said. “Since I was off the enKopatich tire game until overtime, it felt so good to finally make one. Definitely when it counted.”

Leading by three with less than 40 seconds to go in the final overtime period, the Jayhawks (2-2) began to swing the ball around the perimeter, looking for the most opportune time to exploit the Golden Eagles (1-3). From the left wing, Kopatich chose to enter a pass to junior Chayla Cheadle on the baseline. Cheadle attempted to drive to the hole, but fumbled the ball backwards off the chest of Oral

Roberts’ sophomore Maria Martianez. But the ball skipped toward Kopatich, who stood firmly on the wing, feet set and stroked the shot with three seconds left on the shot clock. Her teammates swarmed her, the entire bench went crazy and Kopatich merely flashed a smile from ear-to-ear. “I’m not really impressed,”

Keith Loneker Jr. turning heads with productivity By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It almost didn’t make sense to David Beaty. Sure, Texas kept handing the ball off to its massive junior running back D’Onta Foreman — the Kansas football head coach expected that much. What amazed Beaty this past weekend was how often Foreman’s carries ended with Keith Loneker Jr., KU’s would-be backup linebacker, bringing the nation’s leading rusher to the ground. Loneker, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, made a career-high 16 tackles in the Jayhawks’ 24-21 upset victory in his third career start. Ten of his 11 solo stops came against Foreman — including on fourth-and-five, with just more than a minute left in

the fourth quarter. “Loneker shouldn’t be doin’ what he’s doin’,” Beaty marveled of the linebacker who replaced injured Marcquis Roberts in the starting lineup two weeks ago. “That dude, I don’t know how he’s doin’ that, and I mean that as a compliment.” A Lawrence native and Free State High graduate, Loneker’s college football career began down the road at Baker University, where he earned NAIA freshman All-America honors in 2014. After transferring to KU and redshirting the following year, he made his first start against TCU in early October and came away with seven total tackles. Since then, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has seen Loneker steadily progress with increased repeti-

tions and opportunities. “He’s seeing things faster, he’s reacting faster, playing with better leverage — all those little things that go into the linebacker play, which is a tough position to play because things are right in your face in a hurry and offenses are making things difficult on them. So he’s learning how to play,” Bowen said of Loneker, who doubled his career-mark for tackles against Texas, a week after making eight against Iowa State. Beaty stood in awe of Loneker’s performance, in part because the unheralded sophomore, listed at 221 pounds, might not look like a typical Big 12 linebacker.

KU’s Coleby surprises father with nice gift — playing time By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS FORWARD DWIGHT COLEBY (22) tips away a possession from Georgia guard J.J. Frazier (30) during the second half, Tuesday during the championship game of the CBE Classic at Sprint Center.

After playing just three minutes, missing his only shot and grabbing just one rebound during Monday night’s 20-point Kansas win over UAB, junior forward Dwight Coleby was not quite sure what to tell his father. No, it’s not that Dwight Sr. is hard on his son after bad games. Instead, the younger Coleby was disappointed that his father came all the way from Nassau, Bahamas to watch his son turn in that kind of night. “I didn’t really know

what to expect (with) him coming here to watch me play and I wasn’t playing that much,” Coleby said. Good thing the CBE Classic was a two-game tournament. After being a non-factor in KU’s first win at Sprint Center, Coleby was what KU coach Bill Self called “by far” the team’s best big man during Tuesday’s 65-54 victory over Georgia in the championship game, earning Coleby praise from his teammates, coaches and the KU fans and his giving his father a big smile. “I know he was happy,”

Traditional host Detroit marks its 77th holiday game, but it is Minnesota’s first since 2000, and the first time these NFC North rivals have met on Bird Day since Barry Sanders’ 1995. I get why Motown is a narrow favorite in this duel for the division lead. It isn’t just the venue. Lions have won three straight Thanksgiving games by a combined 119-41. The day seems to bring out the best in Matthew Stafford, who’s having a career year. The Cardiac Lions are a fortunate 6-4, though. They are first team ever to have first 10 games all decided by seven points or fewer, and they’ve trailed in the fourth quarter of all six wins including a lucky escape vs. Vikings three weeks ago. The luck expires here. Vikes’ superior defense will carry the day. Upset! Redskins (6-3-1) at Cowboys (9-1) Line: DAL by 7 Cote’s pick: DAL 30-24 TV: 3:30 p.m., Fox.

Cowboys have tied a record with eight straight games topping 400 yards, while Redskins have twice exceeded 500. ‘Boys are more consistently relentless, though, led by super rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.

Devonte’ Graham not worried about KU’s frontcourt issues By Matt Tait

Bragg and Lucas by the numbers

mtait@ljworld.com

It was just one game, an exhibition at that, but the performance of Kansas big men Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr., in the Jayhawks’ first actual game of the 2016-17 season signaled trouble. Sixteen points and three rebounds in 31 combined minutes against an undersized Washburn team was hardly the expected outing from KU’s starting frontcourt, two players who were deemed to be key parts of the Jayhawks’ success this season. There is still plenty of time, of course, and the Jayhawks are just five games into the season. But instead of getting better from that opening act, Lucas and Bragg have seemed to go backwards since the start of the regular season, with foul trouble, new roles and an identity crisis on offense causing a different set of challenges each night out. Despite their early struggles, Bragg and Lucas’ KU teammates remain confident in the two forwards and believe it’s only a matter of time before they climb out of their slumps. “There’s gonna be some times you’re struggling and it’s a rough game,” said junior guard Devonte’ Graham. “But we just keep telling ’em

to be aggressive. If we throw you the ball, just make a move, especially on offense. You’ve gotta get an easy bucket to get your confidence going and get a couple stops and that’ll just get ’em going.” Asked, more bluntly, if he was worried about the play of KU’s big men, Graham shrugged it off. “No. Not at all,” he said. “Landen’s a veteran. He’s been here, done that. And Carlton, last year he didn’t play that much and coach has been on him a little bit this year. We need ’em and we’re gonna stay on ’em and get that confidence right.” Reaching that point could require more than

a one-day fix, given the depths of the issues plaguing KU’s big men at the moment. The duo of Bragg and Lucas delivered 23 points and 11 rebounds in the season opener but both fouled out in a KU loss to Indiana. Against Duke, the numbers dipped to 11 points and 6 rebounds in 30 combined minutes, with foul trouble again causing problems for both players. Bragg appeared to turn a corner in the home opener, with a doubledouble of 15 points and 11 rebounds against Siena, but the sophomore followed up that effort by barely tallying half of those totals in the Jay-

hawks’ two games in Kansas City, where he scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds while averaging just 16 minutes a game. Lucas, who has seen foul trouble and a sore right foot function as his kryptonite thus far, also struggled in Kansas City, recording just two points and eight rebounds in 25 combined minutes, including Tuesday’s scoreless, two-rebound, five-foul effort in just 10 minutes. Making matters worse was the fact that Georgia big man Yante Maten exploded for 30 points and 11 boards against KU’s bigs. “Maten’s really good,” Self admitted. “But we’re

pired on the game’s most crucial play. Kopatich had spent countless hours in the gym working on her perimeter game this past offseason after shooting a measly 31 percent on 97 shots from beyond the arc in her freshman campaign. All in attempt to do what she did Wednesday night. “I don’t know how many shots I shot this summer to prepare for this moment,” Kopatich said. “But it paid off.” And that it did.

But Kopatich’s lategame heroics overshadowed an otherwise stellar showing from Calvert. She scored a game-high 21 points to fill the offensive void left by Jessica Washington, who was suspended for one game following her ejection against Memphis. Early on it appeared the Jayhawks were lost without their double-digit scorer. Kansas clinged to a 2119 lead at the intermission despite shooting just 25.9 percent from the

floor. Both teams turned the ball over a combined 26 times. “We are really struggling getting points in the paint right now,” Schneider said. “We need to find some ways whether that’s adding something offensively or emphasizing some things, to get more points in the paint.” However, the second half wasn’t much more favorable on the offensive end for either squad. Junior Faith Ihim led the way for the Golden Eagles with 18 points including six points in the first overtime period. Meanwhile, no other Jayhawks notched double-digits for the evening. Still, on a night without one of its best players and a lengthy stretch of poor offensive play, Kansas was able to squeak out a win. A feat that it most certainly wouldn’t have been able to accomplish last season. And that is what gives them plenty to be thankful for. “Turkey will taste a lot better after a win,” Schneider said. Kansas will play host to North Dakota at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Calvert said jokingly afterward. “She makes those shots over me in practice. Kylee is a great player and she can hit open shots. I feel like sometimes that can get overshadowed because we don’t give her the ball in certain situations.” They certainly gave her the ball in this situation as the triple gave Kansas a 62-56 advantage with 24 seconds to go. The result was all but over. After going through an offensive lull for much of the game, the Jayhawks scored on four straight possessions including two buckets by Kopatich. In fact, she scored six of her 12 points on the night in the final free period. “She was having a tough night,” coach Brandon Schneider said. “But (she was able) to still have the guts and courage to step up and make two big shots.” But for her biggest shot, it was a bucket that took more than just the 30 seconds that trans-

which provides him with a lot of “answers” when he is on the field making plays. Entering KU’s season finale at rival Kansas State on Saturday (11 a.m. kickoff, FOX Sports 1), Loneker, mostly as a reserve, has produced 37 total tackles, a tackle for loss, four pass breakups and a quarterback hurry. Oh, yeah, and a safety on special teams, when he tackled Texas Tech punter Erik Baughman after a fumble. Bowen has seen enough out of Loneker to know he’s more than an NAIA transfer playing above his head. “The kid does have athletic ability and can run and has talent,” Bowen said. “He’s stepped in there and done a nice job every time we’ve put him in a situation to do it.” Kansas (2-9 overall, 1-7 Big 12) will need Loneker and fellow starting linebacker Courtney Arnick — a senior who replaced Joe Dineen, another injured Jayhawk, in the starting lineup — peaking in the season finale at K-State (6-4, 4-3). The Wildcats utilize both running back Charles Jones and quarterback Jesse Ertz in their rushing attack. Loneker and Arnick will have to recognize formations and backfield sets and identify where fullback Winston Dimel is headed on every snap in order to make all the correct reads. Loneker grew up rooting for KU — thanks to his father, Keith Loneker Sr., a former offensive lineman in the program — and he’s excited to play in the Sunflower Showdown. Still, the ever-improving sophomore seems business-like in his approach (though he admits to trading some good-natured jabs recently with K-State’s starting left tackle, Scott Frantz, a former Free State teammate). “Every week we come into is a big week, especially last week with Foreman,” Loneker said. “But now this team throws in their quarterback more (as a rusher), so it puts a little bit more strain on you. We’ve just got to come out with the same mindset we do every week and get ready to play.” Perhaps Saturday in Manhattan Beaty won’t be so surprised by Loneker’s production. “He is a tough, hardnosed, terrific Lawrencian. He is a great kid,” Beaty said of Loneker. “I can’t say enough good things about his heart, and those kids, they love him and they trust him.”

that they can’t articulate just how it is they do what they do. Havili not only is good at every aspect of her sport, she’s excellent at explaining the nuances of each of her many skills and those of teammates. 11 - Keith Loneker, Jr. (football): He loves playing football for the hometown school, enjoys talking about it, and does Loneker Jr. so in an intelligent manner.

12 Madison Rigdon (volleyball): Always a delight to interview, even Rigdon though she talks at roughly the same velocity of one of her nasty serves. If … she … could … just … slow … down … a … little. But that’s OK. I’ll take fast with flavor over slow and dull any day. All 12 of these athletes strike that balance of taking their responsibilities within a team far more seriously than they take themselves.

door at his father’s hotel near Sprint Center. Two points, four rebounds, four blocks and five fouls in 20 minutes. By most standards, that’s an average night at best. But for a guy who transferred from Ole Miss and sat out an entire year while nursing a knee injury that put him even further behind than the transfer season already would have, those numbers were like hitting the lottery. And the KU fans knew

it. Each time Coleby exited the floor Tuesday night, the fans stood and cheered, with the roar growing louder each time. “You think about it; he got four blocks, but he gets two points and four rebounds and every time he checked out of the game, the fans all cheered for him,” Self said. “What other bigs did they cheer for when they checked out of the game? And it’s all because he tried. He played with energy and that kind

of stuff. I don’t think it’s that hard to please our fans if you give great effort and play intelligently and he did what he could tonight.” Still a bit of an unknown player on this team, Coleby said hearing the fans’ appreciation for his efforts made all of the hard work and frustration from the past year-plus worth it. “It’s a great feeling,” he said. “I haven’t been playing since last year, and it was exciting to see the fans want to see me do good.”

Steelers (5-5) at Colts (5-5) Line: PIT by 8 Cote’s pick: PIT 28-16 TV: 7:30 p.m., NBC. Indy’s first Bird Day since 2007 and Pitt’s first since ‘91 might have been more entertaining than you’d expect of two .500 teams, but erasing Andrew Luck (concussion) gut-punches Colts’ chances. He was ruled

out late Wednesday and the dropoff to backup Scott Tolzien is enormous. Tolzien, whose surname sounds like a pill you take for depression, last started a game in 2013 and has thrown one pass (!) since. Simply cannot fathom Tolzien outscoring Ben Roethlisberger, who has averaged 129.1 passer rating in past three vs. Colts. Steelers also bring better all-round defense into matchup. Indy will honor Hall of Famers Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison at halftime. If only Colts could swap that emotion for points.

minutes, about a secret they’d both known about but never shared. Later, they spoke about their discussion. “It’s been a cleansing for both of us,” Branca said then. “He knew that I knew. It’s better this way.” “To me, it was a forbidden subject,” the righthander said. “And I didn’t want to demean Bobby or seem like I was a crybaby.” Said Thomson: “It was like getting something off my chest after all those years. I’m not a criminal, although I may have felt like one at first.” And then, hours later,

Thomson and Branca appeared together in Manhattan at the New York baseball writers’ dinner. In front of a ballroom full of fans, they took turns singing about the fateful pitch and swing, to lyrics written to the old standard “Because of You” — a reprise of the act they performed when the same dinner was held in January 1952. His matchup with Thomson was recounted by Don Delillo in a 1992 Harper’s Magazine story “Pafko at the Wall,” included five years later in the novel “Underworld.” “Yes. It is Branca com-

ing through the dampish glow. Branca who is tall and stalwart but seems to carry his own hill and dale, he has the aura of a man encumbered. The drooping lids, clodhopper feet, the thick ridge across the brow. His face is set behind a somber nose, broad-bridged and looming.” One of the last remaining Boys of Summer, Branca was 88-68 with a 3.79 ERA in his big league career. He spent the first 11 years with the Dodgers, then played for Detroit and the Yankees before returning to Brooklyn for a final game in 1956.

Branca made his debut as a teen in 1944 and went 21-12 with 15 complete games during Jackie Robinson’s first season in 1947. Branca added another win that year at Yankee Stadium in the World Series. “Branca to me was a hero,” former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda said in a statement. “Ralph and I became very close, my family and his family. I always enjoyed being around him. He was a tough one in every way and I really admired him.” Branca co-founded the Baseball Assistance Team, which aids members of the

baseball family in need of financial, medical or psychological assistance, and served as its president for 17 years. He was a pallbearer at Robinson’s funeral in 1972. “Ralph’s participation in the ‘Shot Heard ‘Round the World’ was eclipsed by the grace and sportsmanship he demonstrated following one of the game’s signature moments,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “He is better remembered for his dedication to the members of the baseball community. He was an inspiration to so many of us.”
