State reaches out to uninsured to enroll children in Medicaid program

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Pregnant with twins and due to give birth at any time, 24-year-old Jessica Alexander was relieved to gain health insurance last week through the state’s Medicaid program called HealthWave.

Her husband, who works in graphic design, had just lost his job because the company closed. He was four days away from earning a benefits pack-

age that included health insurance.

In the meantime, they had been paying what they could for health care at a birthing center. Alexander, of Overland Park, said times have been tough, especially because doctor-ordered bed rest had prevented her from working for three months.

“We were paying out of pocket until we got the insurance. The birthing center said just to pay what we could until we got insurance. We were at the mercy of the company and when it all fell through, it was literally terrifying,” Alexander said. “We had nowhere to go, and it was very stressful.”

Fortunately, Alexander had a friend who worked at Turner House Children’s Clinic, a Kan-

TOPEKA — So what will happen should conservative Republicans take over the Kansas Senate when the 2013 legislative session starts in January?

Public schools, middle class families and women are in for a rough ride, according to Democrats as they assessed the political landscape after a slew of moderate Senate leaders were defeated in last week’s Republican Party primary, courtesy of a combined effort from Gov. Sam Brownback, the billionaire Koch brothers, Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Kansans for Life.

“The Kansas Republican Party took another hard right turn away from the ‘middle of the road’ politics that have served our state so well for many decades,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence. In 2010, the House fell into the hands of conservative Republicans.

“Today, the face of the Republican party is more anti-public school, more anti-worker, more anti-woman Please see SENATE, page 2A

Volunteer guides others in quest for independence Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories about volunteers in our community.

Walk into the office at Independence Inc. while volunteer Athena Johnson is working the front desk, and the first thing you’ll notice is her enthusiastic smile and nevermet-a-stranger warmth. She manages her job so seamlessly — answering phones, assisting visitors — that it

For the past 20 years, a form of macular degeneration has been slowly robbing Johnson of her eyesight. She can still perceive variations in light and can read with the aid of assistive technology, but, eventually, she will lose her vision altogether.

Even though she can no longer see her grandson’s face or watch a sunset, Johnson’s disease hasn’t stolen her infectious optimism, her deep-felt compassion for oth-

Johnson taps into all those skills as a volunteer receptionist and board member for Independence Inc., which provides advocacy, services and education for people with disabilities. She has a soft spot for this agency because it’s here, as a newcomer to Lawrence, that she found the support she needed to prepare for the time when she will lose her eyesight entirely.

sas City, Kan., nonprofit that serves uninsured and underserved children, and her friend knew that Ruth Becker could help her. #"#"#

There are an estimated 60,000 Kansas children without health insurance, and about 70 percent qualify for HealthWave.

Becker is one of 12 state employees working to reach out to those who qualify and help get them enrolled. Last week, she was able to help Alexander.

“I handed her all of my stuff and within two days, I got an answer, and so it was really, really nice to have that hook-up,” Alexander said.

Becker, a former teacher, has worked the past 12 years for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, now called the Department for Children and Families. For the past two years, she has been an outreach and eligibility specialist for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and has been located at the Turner House.

“This is the first job that I can say I really, truly love because the people are so appreciative. They are so thankful. They say things like, ‘May God bless you,’” she said.

Becker processes about 90 applications a month, and when she’s not processing paperwork, she’s out in the community raising awareness at community centers, safety net clinics, schools and hospitals. She speaks many languages, including Italian, French and Spanish.

“There’s a lot of families who just don’t know,” she said.

On Friday, she helped Teresita Hernandez enroll her 2-year-old daughter Dayana Garcia into Medicaid for the first time. Her husband is a painter, and she’s a stay-at-home mom, and when they seek health

and more anti-middle class than ever before,” Davis said.

Brownback said he was going to focus on improving the economy.

“Most Kansans want to grow the economy and increase the number of private sector jobs in our state. We will continue working every day to help Kansans fulfill their aspirations,” he said in a statement after Tuesday’s primary results.

His spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag added, “Like in the primary, we look forward to a debate on the issues important to Kansans such as smaller government, repealing Obamacare and properly funding essential services like schools, social services and public safety.”

Even though “Obamacare” — the Affordable Care Act — is a federal law, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity hammered moderate Republican state legislators in Kansas. The groups said the moderates were against giving Kansans a state constitutional amendment vote to opt out of “Obamacare.” Critics of the proposed constitutional amendment said it was a waste of time and money and dishonest because federal law is the supreme law of the land.

Conservative issues Republicans already hold a 32-8 edge over Democrats in the Senate. But a combination of moderate Republicans and Democrats has maintained a slight majority on some issues in the Senate over conservatives.

That has likely changed.

bies. We do not want low-birthweight babies because the moms did not access medical care,” Esping said.

Children can qualify from birth up to age 19, and the program covers services like doctor visits, prescription medications, dental care, glasses and hearing aids.

“We are going to have a healthier population down the road if we can get these children into routine, regular care and in a medical home where they can build a relationship with a doctor,” Esping said.

To qualify, participants have to be a U.S. citizen and a Kansas resident, and there needs to be a child in the household. Esping said they are seeing an increase in grandparents who are responsible for their grandchildren and they can qualify for the program.

There are income guidelines, too, which vary by age of the children. For children ages 6 to 19, it’s 100 percent of the federal poverty level, or $1,921 per month for a family of three. For children under age 1, it’s 150 percent, or $2,387 monthly, for a family of three.

If families make too much to qualify for the regular HealthWave program, referred to as Title 19, they could qualify for the Title 21 HealthWave program, commonly referred to as the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP. The main difference is that families have to pay a monthly premium that ranges from $20 to $75. The premium covers all of their children.

If families do not qualify for a Medicaid program, the outreach specialists can refer them to safety net clinics or other programs that may offer discounted services.

Esping said most families don’t sign up because they are unaware of HealthWave or think they may not qualify. For others, it may be a religious choice; a few are too proud to accept assistance.

“I think because we are out and about and somebody they can actually talk with face-to-face, it’s easier for them. Sometimes, it’s a little intimidating just to mail a document to some place, and then they may get a call or something back and they don’t understand what it is they need,” Esping said. “Sometimes, I think it is just nice to be able to put a face to the program and really explain how it works.”

HEALTHWAVE ENROLLMENT

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment provided the following numbers for children ages birth to 19 who are enrolled in the state’s HealthWave insurance program: # 2007 — 237,279 # 2008 — 251,145 # 2009 — 260,812 # 2010 — 273,047 # 2011 — 301,583 # 2012 — 314,724 In Douglas County: # 2007 — 5,970 #"l 2008 — 6,384 # 2009 — 6,522 # 2010 — 6,769 # 2011 — 7,519 # 2012 — 8,072 care, they pay out of pocket. Now, Dayana will be able to get the regular care she needs, and her parents won’t have to worry about how to pay for it.

During the past five years, the state has seen a 33 percent increase in its HealthWave enrollment.

In fiscal year 2007, there were 181,305 children enrolled, and in 2012, which ended June 30, there were 251,749.

In Douglas County, there has been a 35 percent increase in enrollment from 5,970 in 2007 to 8,072 in 2012.

Becker said she has helped numerous Douglas County residents and commonly receives referrals from Kansas University and the Department of Children and Families’ Lawrence office. #"#"#

Wanda Esping, HealthWave outreach and eligibility supervisor, said she oversees the 12 employees located throughout the state. She said the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, or KDHE, began ramping up its outreach two years ago.

“We are charged with being out there in the public eye and trying to increase our applications,” she said.

The HealthWave program serves low-income children and pregnant women.

“We want healthy ba-

#"#"#

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children, said that while progress is being made, she believes more could be done.

A 2012 KIDS Count report ranked the state 32nd in the nation when it comes to children’s health, largely because of the uninsured population.

Cotsoradis said the state received low marks because it hasn’t increased funding for outreach efforts, which is a special concern as the state rolls its Medicaid system into a managed care system called KanCare.

While it’s not expected to change eligibility requirements or services, there will be a new label on an already complex system to navigate.

“The real issue for us is we are going to have this major transition at a time when we have a high rate of uninsurance and they have made the decision not to co-brand, so when families receive materials in the mail Jan. 1, they won’t say HealthWave and KanCare. They will say KanCare,” Cotsoradis said. “There’s a lot of concern on the part of the advocacy community that we will have more uninsured children at the end of the transition.”

However, Esping said families will be informed well in advance of the changes coming Jan. 1.

paying gig and become a volunteer receptionist for the organization so she could provide encouragement to others living with disabilities. It wasn’t long before she joined the board of directors and took on the office of secretary.

“I feel strongly about what Independence Inc. is trying to do,” Johnson said.

“There are so many people out there who are unable to find resources, and there are so many resources at Independence Inc.” The agency provides services such as transportation, training, advocacy, peer support and community education.

Johnson’s hours of dedication to the agency and her unflappable determination to help others netted her the organization’s nomination for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center’s Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer Award.

“Athena goes above and beyond the call of duty for our organization. She puts her years of business experience to good use by sharing her patience, problem-solving skills and kindness with others at Independence Inc.,” said Stacey Hunter Schwartz, executive director of Independence Inc. “She’s not just a volunteer — Athena has become a mandatory factor in our company’s daily duties. She’s a fantastic role model for the people with disabilities who come through our doors and call us.”

But it’s more than connecting people with resources that Johnson finds so gratifying about her volunteer job. It’s the chance to connect with others who are living with disabilities, to hear their stories and to offer encouragement born of personal experience that also fuels Johnson’s tank.

“It’s so gratifying,” she said.

Independence Inc. is always in need of volunteers, Schwartz said. Volunteers staff the front desk, assist with the office’s outdoor environment, teach computer courses and help the agency with marketing and fundraising events.

Heat takes toll on butterflies KINGSVILLE, MO. (AP) — Ecologists in Kansas and Missouri say extreme temperatures are killing a large number of butterflies and could hurt their southern migration next month.

Millions of monarch butterflies are expected to migrate south through the two states in less than a month in their seasonal trip from Canada to Mexico.

KSHB-TV reported that the Powell Botanical Gardens’ annual butterfly festival east of Kansas City is seeing the lowest number of monarchs in a decade.

Kansas University Monarch Watch director Chip Taylor says flowers that should bloom in the fall already are finished blooming, which could be a problem for butterflies that need the plants’ nectar for their journey.

Horticulturists say fewer butterflies also could mean fewer birds, bees and flowers as the drought continues.

Eudora church marks 60 years

By Emily Mulligan Special to the Journal-World

Demonstrating a true synergy among the past, present and future, Eudora Baptist Church pastor Kevin Wood performed a baptism at the beginning of Sunday’s retrospective service commemorating the church’s 60th anniversary.

Several of the church’s former ministers returned to speak at the service, which featured a video of the church’s hisWe’ve only tory, interviews with founding been around a few members and a years.

Public school classes start this week

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Nearly 11,000 kids — plus all the teachers and staff, of course — will head back to school this week for the 2012-13 year for the Lawrence public schools.

This year is the fourth for Superintendant Rick Doll, the first for assistant superintendant for teaching and learn-

ing Adam Holden and the first that full-day kindergarten will be available in all schools.

Sixth-graders will start school for a morning half-day on Tuesday and ninth-graders for a morning half-day on WednesDoll day.

Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders

will all have full days Wednesday. All other grades begin on Thursday, except kindergarten, for which half its students will start Thursday and half on Friday, based on alphabetization of last name.

Everyone will be in school by Monday.

speakers at Sunday’s service. He recounted what turned out to be a pivotal chance encounter with the church’s founding minister, Wilber Noble, in 1951 on Main Street in Eudora. “(Noble) started telling us about himself and his background. He wanted to know if there was a Baptist church in Eudora,” Long said. “We invited him to our house to meet my mother and dad. We got to talking about establishing a Baptist church here in Eudora, and we held the first service in our home.”

Noble’s widow attended the service, and Wood praised her late husband’s efforts in planting 20 churches in northeast Kansas.

“Wilber was a guy who got around, and we are very pleased he got around to Eudora,” Wood said.

Male church members built the church’s first permanent location at 11th and Main in Eudora in the evenings and on weekends. The current build-

ing, which is just southwest of Kansas Highway 10 and Church Street, was built with help from a service organization called Baptist Builders for Christ, which provided free planning and labor. This past year, members of Eudora Baptist helped return the favor, in a sense, when they traveled to Alabama and helped rebuild a Baptist church that had been destroyed by a tornado.

In his sermon Sunday, Wood adopted a Bible verse from Philippians as his theme: “Only let us live up to what we have already attained.”

Although 60 years is a long time, he emphasized that the church is still growing and changing, and that in “church years,” Eudora Baptist “is still a pup.”

“We’ve only been around a few years. We’ve got a lot of work before us,” Wood said, as he laid out plans for the church’s missions, benevolence ministry and children’s ministry.

Beem said that the people of the church have comforted her and one another in times of loss, and that is why the church,

STUDY

Junk food laws may help curb kids’ obesity

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

CHICAGO — Laws strictly curbing school sales of junk food and sweetened drinks may play a role in slowing childhood obesity, according to a study that seems to offer the first evidence such efforts could pay off.

The results come from the first large national look at the effectiveness of the state laws over time.

They are not a slam-dunk, and even obesity experts who praised the study acknowledge the measures are a political hot potato, smacking of a “nanny state” and opposed by industry and cash-strapped schools relying on food processors’ money.

But if the laws have even a tiny effect, “what are the downsides of improving the food environment for children today?” asked Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital. “You can’t get much worse than it already is.”

Children in the study gained less weight from fifth through eighth grades if they lived in states with strong, consistent laws

According to the first large study of states’ laws governing the sale of junk food and drinks in U.S. public schools, these regulations may help curb childhood obesity. versus no laws governing snacks available in schools. For example, kids who were 5 feet tall and 100 pounds gained on average 2.2 fewer pounds if they lived in states with strong laws in the three years studied.

Also, children who were overweight or obese in fifth grade were more likely to reach a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the strongest laws.

The effects weren’t huge, and the study isn’t proof that the laws influenced kids’ weight. But the results raised optimism

among obesity researchers and public health experts who generally applaud strong laws to get junk food out of schools.

“This is the first real evidence that the laws are likely to have an impact,” said Dr. Virginia Stallings, director of the nutrition center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Stallings chaired an Institute of Medicine panel that urged standards for making snack foods and drinks sold in schools more healthful but was not involved in the new research.

The authors of the study, released online today in the

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

journal Pediatrics, analyzed data on 6,300 students in 40 states. Their heights and weights were measured in spring 2004, when they were finishing fifth grade and soon to enter middle school, and in 2007, during the spring of eighth grade.

The researchers also examined several databases of state laws on school nutrition during the same time. The states were not identified in the study because of database license restrictions that protect the students’ confidentiality, the authors said.

The laws governed food and drinks sold in public school vending machines and school stores, outside of mealtime. Laws were considered strong if they included specific nutrition requirements, such as limits on sugar and fats.

Laws were rated weak if the requirements were vague and merely urged sales of “healthy” food without specifics.

The results show that for these laws to be effective, they need to be consistently strong in all grades, said lead author Daniel Taber, a health policy researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Q:

I saw that the city is going to purchase eight new police vehicles. How long do police vehicles remain in service? How many police officers are on the force right now? I thought they recently hired a number new officers.

A:

Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager, provided this answer: The Lawrence Police Department is purchasing eight new vehicles, in large part to replace aging vehicles.

This is done on a recurring basis in small batches each year or two. There is no specific number of years a police vehicle remains in service. Front line patrol vehicles incur high numbers of miles and hours of operation, but are often cycled out of the primary rotation after a few years and used in other police or city applications.

Purchasing of vehicles is done in consultation with city maintenance garage staff, who analyze the cost-effectiveness of retaining aging vehicles.

Fourteen officers were hired recently to replace officers who have retired or left the department over the past year or so.

Four new positions were added last year, bringing the number of sworn officers to 147.

State says poker runs, charity tournaments illegal GARDEN CITY (AP) — Increasingly popular fundraising activities such as poker runs and charity poker tournaments are illegal in Kansas, state gambling regulators said, though violations are rarely prosecuted.

Bill Miskell, a spokesman for the state Racing and Gaming Commission, told The Garden City Telegram that most people aren’t aware that they’re breaking law when they organize such events.

He said the state leaves it up to county or district attorneys to decide whether they want to take action.

Finney County prosecutor John Wheeler said he doesn’t see any sense in going after charitable events that help others without dipping into taxpayer money.

“We have a group or organization that sponsors something that’s fun for a lot of people and raises money for a charity, and we call it a crime,” Wheeler told the newspaper.

“And it just seems to me

“

We have a group or organization that sponsors something that’s fun for a lot of people and raises money for a charity, and we call it a crime. And it just seems to me to be contradictory, contrary, and I wish the Legislature would take a look at it after all these years.”

— Finney County prosecutor John Wheeler, who says that in light of all the violent crimes he’s handled, prosecuting people for conducting charity poker runs isn’t among his priorities to be contradictory, contrary, and I wish the Legislature would take a look at it after all these years.”

In a poker run, motorcycle riders pay an entry or registration fee, and then drive to various locations to pick up playing cards. At their final stop, the person with the best poker hand wins a prize.

Several such poker runs have been conducted in Garden City this summer and in previous years.

Miskell said it’s a common misconception that poker runs and similar fundraisers are legal.

“Kansas is one of the

four states in the United States that has no charitable gaming exceptions to their laws,” he said. “Under Kansas law, there is no charitable exception to the Kansas gambling laws, and it would require a change in statute to make those kinds of events legal for certified, not-for-profit (organizations).”

Kendall Adler, president of a parent support organization for the Garden City High School wrestling team called the Takedown Club, had no idea a poker run he put on in June was against the law.

“I tried to get all the

information that I could, as far as having one and doing it and everything.

And I talked to hundreds of people before we even set out to do ours, and I’m certain that not one person knew that,” he said.

Wheeler, who has been county prosecutor for 20 years, said in light of all the violent crimes he’s handled, prosecuting people for conducting charity poker runs isn’t among his priorities.

Under the state’s law, the three elements of consideration — such as a wager or entry fee, chance and a prize — have to be present for an event to be

deemed illegal.

Miskell said there are ways to make fundraisers involving poker runs compliant with state law, such as turning them into a game of skill instead of one based mostly on chance.

“What we’ve been encouraging people to do now, for about six weeks, is to put a deck, a regular 52-card deck, mount all the cards on a piece of cardboard, and when the first rider rides up, hand the rider a throwing dart, say ‘There’s the line, stand there and hit whichever card you can hit with that dart,’” he said.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY, LEFT, and his vice presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., arrive at a campaign rally Sunday in Mooresville, N.C. at the NASCAR Technical Institute.

Romney seeks distance from Ryan’s budget plans

By Kasie Hunt and Ken Thomas Associated Press

HIGH POINT, N.C. — In Paul Ryan’s high-energy debut as Republican vice presidential candidate, Mitt Romney made one thing clear: His ideas rule, not his running mate’s. “I have my budget plan,” he said, “And that’s the budget plan we’re going to run on.”

Romney put gentle but unmistakable distance between his agenda and Ryan’s hot-potato budget proposals on Sunday as the new team soaked up excitement from partisans in North Carolina and Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin.

He walked a careful line as he campaigned with Ryan by his side in North Carolina, singling out his running mate’s work “to make sure we can save Medicare.” But the presidential candidate never said whether he embraced Ryan’s austere plan himself, and he addressed the matter more directly in a “60 Minutes” interview, with Ryan still with him, Sunday night.

Democrats weren’t about to let them off that hook.

President Barack Obama, attending campaign fundraisers Sunday in Chicago, tagged Ryan as the “ideological leader” of the Republican Party.

“He is a decent man, he is a family man, he is an articulate spokesman for Governor Romney’s vision but it is a vision that I fundamentally disagree with,” Obama said in his first public comments about Ryan’s selection.

Earlier, Obama’s senior campaign adviser David Axelrod deemed Ryan’s budget “the Ryan-Romney plan” and cast the new addition to the Republican ticket as a choice “meant to thrill the most strident voices in the Republican Party, but it’s one that should trouble everybody else — the middle class, seniors, students.”

Where Paul Ryan stands WASHINGTON (AP) — A look at where Republican running mate Paul Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, stands on a selection of issues: ! Budget: Ryan is the primary author of conservative tax and spending blueprints that Republicans on the House approved over Democratic opposition in 2011 and again in 2012. His plan would transform Medicare into a program in which future seniors would receive government checks that they could use to purchase health insurance. Other elements of the budget plan would cut projected spending for Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, as well as food stamps, student loans and other social programs that Obama and Democrats have pledged to defend. ! Medicare: He wants a plan more like a 401(K) that steers future retirees into private insurance plans with fixed payments from government that may or may not cover as much of their costs as does the current program. ! Guns: Ryan is an outdoorsman who has a top rating from gunrights groups. He voted During the Republican primary, Romney had called Ryan’s budget a “bold and exciting effort” that’s “very much needed.”

Ryan proposed to reshape the long-standing entitlement by setting up a voucher-like system to let future retirees shop for private health coverage or choose the traditional program — a plan that independent budget analysts say would probably mean smaller increases in benefits than current law would provide.

Romney and Ryan, in their first joint television interview Sunday, were

to protect gun manufacturers and sellers from lawsuits stemming from misuse of the guns. ! Abortion: The Catholic congressman is staunchly against abortion rights and backed by several anti-abortion groups. He co-sponsored the Sanctity of Human Life Act and Right to Life Act, which both say life begins at the moment of fertilization. In 2009, he voted to prohibit federal money from being used to pay for an abortion or for any part of a health plan that covers abortion — except when the abortion results from rape or incest or when the pregnancy threatens the woman’s life. ! Social Security: Ryan has said poorer seniors should receive “more targeted assistance than those who have had ample opportunity to save for retirement” as part of the solution to the program’s long-term insolvency. ! Gay rights: Ryan has voted against allowing same-sex couples to adopt, and opposed repealing the ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces. And he’s voted for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. mindful that some of Ryan’s proposals don’t sit well with key constituencies, among them seniors in critical states like Florida and Ohio. Each man sought to reassure older voters they wouldn’t take away their benefits, with Ryan saying his mother is “a Medicare senior in Florida” and Romney vowing there would be “no changes” for seniors currently counting on the popular federal program.

“In America, the nature of this country has been giving people more freedom, more choices,” Romney said.

“That’s how we make Medicare work down the road.”

Shooting: Mercy killing or murder?

By John Seewer Associated Press

CLEVELAND — John Wise watched a tear roll down his wife’s face as he stood alongside her bed in the intensive care unit. She’d been unable to speak after suffering a stroke and seemed to be blinking to acknowledge him, Wise confided to a friend who had driven him to the hospital.

The couple had been married 45 years and Wise told his friend that they had agreed long ago they didn’t want to live out their years bedridden and disabled.

So a week after Barbara Wise’s stroke, investigators say, her husband fired a single round into her head. She died the next day, leading prosecutors to charge the 66-year-old man with aggravated murder Wednesday in what police suspect was a mercy killing.

The shooting leaves authorities in a dilemma some experts say will happen with greater frequency as

the baby boom generation ages — what is the appropriate punishment when a relative kills a loved one to end their suffering?

More often than not, a husband who kills an ailing wife never goes to trial and lands a plea deal with a sentence that carries no more than a few years in prison, research has shown. In some instances, there are no charges.

“It’s a tragedy all around that the law really isn’t designed to address,” said Mike Benza, who teaches law at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

A New York man in March was sentenced to six months in jail after suffocating his 98-year-old disabled mother and slitting his own wrists. He told authorities he had just been told he had cancer and believed he was going to die soon, and feared no one would care for his mom. A Washington state man accused of shooting his terminally ill wife this year told investigators she had begged him to kill her; he is free on bail while

prosecutors weigh charges.

Almost always, there are deeper issues involved with the accused, including depression, their own health problems and the stress of taking care of a dying spouse, said Donna Cohen, head of the Violence and Injury Prevention Program at the University of South Florida.

Seeing a dying or disabled spouse suffering can be enough to push someone over the edge, said Cohen, who is writing a book called “Caregivers Who Kill.”

“Men will hit a wall when they can’t do anything else,” she said.

“That’s usually a trigger.”

She worries this will happen more often with longer life expectancies and a continuing shortage of mental health services for older people.

Police say Wise took a taxi from his home in Massillon, calmly walked into his 65-year-old wife’s room on Aug. 4 at Akron General Medical Center without drawing any attention, and shot her.

SAN DIEGO — The enormous obstacles and emotional torment that a female solider confronts in reporting a sexual assault in the military are the focus of the three-part Web series “Lauren” debuting today on YouTube’s new channel WIGS, which focuses on drama for women.

Featuring “Flashdance” star Jennifer Beals and Troian Bellisario, “Lauren” gives a close-up look at the challenges women service members face in trying to find justice after being raped. It’s a problem that military leaders have given unprecedented attention to this year.

The Defense Department has estimated that 86 percent of sexual assaults go unreported, an indication that some women are worried about the effect reporting an assault may have on their career and that they mistrust the military prosecution system. Nearly 3,200 sexual assaults were reported in the military last year.

Military leaders say sexual assault is not only dehumanizing to the victims but threatens operational readiness. The Pentagon has set up hotlines and has been trying to

Highranking Navy leaders have likened their campaign to the crusade years ago to stop rampant drug abuse, although activists say sweeping institutional changes are needed for victims to find justice.

Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, “Lauren” sets out to show viewers how unfair and unsympathetic the military can be toward the abuse of female service members. At the same time, it depicts the turmoil of many of the victims — who have a deep love and respect for the military but often feel betrayed after coming for-

ward.

The series opens with an Army commanding officer — Maj. Jo Stone, played by Beals — scrutinizing a report made by a sergeant named Lauren about being raped by three fellow soldiers.

Stone asks the young soldier if she ever considered a career as a fiction writer and then asks how many drinks she had the night of the “incident.” She provides an ominous warning if she pursues her accusations.

After today’s debut, the second and third episodes in the series will be available Wednesday and Friday.

Residents describe terror of Iran quake; 250 dead TEHRAN, IRAN (AP) — Residents of the zone in northwestern Iran hit by powerful twin earthquakes described moments of terror and panic with birds crowing loudly in warning seconds before the ground shook. As the death toll rose Sunday to more than 250 with entire villages leveled, rescuers called

off searches for survivors and turned their attention to caring for the 16,000 people left homeless.

At least 20 villages were totally destroyed in the quakes on Saturday that were followed by some 36 aftershocks, state television reported.

Ahmad Reza Shajiei, a senior government official

in charge of rescue operations, said more than 5,000 tents have been set up to shelter the thousands of displaced who spent the night outdoors.

“The moment the earthquake hit, it was like a snake biting from underground. It was the worst experience of my life,” said resident Morteza Javid, 47, from Ahar.

‘Happy and glorious’ London Olympics end

By Paul Haven Associated Press

LONDON — With a little British pomp and a lot of British pop, London brought the curtain down on a glorious Olympic Games on Sunday in a spectacular, technicolor pageant of landmarks, lightshows and lots of fun.

The closing ceremony offered a sensory blast including rock ‘n’ roll rickshaws, dustbin percussionists, an exploding yellow car and a marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats.

The Spice Girls staged a show-stopping reunion, and Monty Python’s Eric Idle sauntered through “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” — accompanied by Roman centurions, Scottish bagpipers and a human cannonball.

It all made for a psychedelic mashup that had 80,000 fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along.

Organizers estimated 300 million or more were watching around the world.

What a way to end a games far more successful than many Londoners expected. Security woes were overcome, and traffic nightmares never materialized. The weather held up, more or less, and British athletes overachieved.

It all came with a price tag of $14 billion — three times the original estimate. But nobody wanted to spoil the fun with such mundane concerns, at least not on this night.

“We lit the flame, and we lit up the world,” said London organizing committee chief Sebastian Coe. “When our time came, Britain, we did it right.”

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared the Olympics over with praise for the athletes.

“Through your commitment to fair play, your respect for opponents, and your grace in defeat as well as in victory, you have earned the right to be called Olympians,” he said, adding: “These were happy

and glorious games.”

But the night was about splash more than speeches.

Festive and fast-moving, the ceremony opened with pop bands Madness, Pet Shop Boys and One Direction, a shout-out to Winston Churchill and a tribute to the Union Jack — the floor of Olympic Stadium floor arranged to resemble the British flag.

Monochrome recreations of London landmarks were covered in newsprint, from Big Ben’s clock tower and Tower Bridge to the London Eye ferris wheel and the chubby highrise known as the Gherkin.

Street percussion group Stomp built the noise into a frenzy, and dancers brandished brooms, in a nod to the spontaneous popular movement to clean up London after ri-

ots shook neighborhoods not far from Olympic Stadium just a year ago.

Liam Gallagher performed “Wonderwall,” a 1990s hit by his former band, Oasis, Muse rocked the house with the hardedged Olympic anthem “Survival,” and Queen guitarist Brian May was joined by singer Jessie J for a crowd-pleasing “We Will Rock You.” The headline performers were each paid a pound, a little more than $1.50.

The night ended with the extinguishing of the multi-petaled Olympic cauldron and a supercharged rendition of “My Generation” and other classics by The Who that had the crowd dancing in the aisles. Confetti rained down, and fireworks lit up the sky.

We are on time and going according to schedule.”

Rio 2016 organizers see the games as a pivotal moment in the city’s history that will turn the page on the decades of slow decline and neglect that followed the loss of the capital to Brasilia in 1960.

Speaking at a recent news conference, Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes promised the event would leave an “enormous legacy.”

City, state and local governments are investing nearly $12 billion in massive infrastructure projects they say will help revitalize derelict urban areas and ease the chronic transportation woes in this metropolis of 6 million. Beyond the sporting venues, Rio is slated to get a new metro line, a revamped airport, improved roads and a renovated port.

But many of the projects have been tainted by controversy, some even

“While the Brazilians will undoubtedly pull together a great party, the hangover will last for a generation,” Gaffney said.

More than 230 projects are slated to be finished by the 2016 games, with the sports venues scheduled for delivery between mid-2015 and early-2016 for test events, according to the International Olympic Committee. Of those, over 65 have already been completed or are in the final stages.

That leaves a high volume of projects to be carried out simultaneously over the next four years — a feat that even Rio 2016 organizers acknowledge is tricky.

“Time is an adversary but time is also on our side,” Leonardo Gryner, CEO of the Rio 2016 organizing committee, told

BRIEFLY

NEW YORK — The London Olympics may well be remembered as the event that drove home the power of social media — partly to the chagrin but mostly to the benefit of NBC, which controlled images of the games in the United States.

Twitter estimates there were more than 50 million tweets about the Olympics, at a pace of 80,000 per minute after Jamaica’s Usain Bolt won the gold medal in the 200-meter sprint.

Facebook saw the number of fans of Olympic athletes soar: American gymnast Gabby Douglas had 14,358 followers on July 27 and 540,174 less than two weeks later.

All of the activity pumped up interest in the games.

RAKE ONTROLS NSTALLED Britons, who had fretted

Now to Rio, full of Olympic 2016 jitters RIO DE JANEIRO — The snuffing out of the Olympic flame in London Sunday marked a conclusion for most, but for 2016 host city Rio de Janeiro it kicked off four years of pre-games jitters and a race against the clock to ready this notoriously laid-back beach city for the global sports showcase.

Playing Olympic host is a high-stakes bet for any country, but Brazil seems to have more riding on the games than most. The nation has enjoyed an economic surge over the past decade, a boom that saw it overtake Britain as the world’s sixth biggest economy. Brazilians regard the Olympics as their grand entrance onto the world stage — and their emergence as a superpower.

Still, observers say efficiency and punctuality have never been the country’s strong suit, and many are bracing for a rocky ride as Rio rushes to build the city’s four main Olympic sites and undertakes a massive, pre-games infrastructure overhaul. Rio is also one of 12 Brazilian cities gearing up to host the World Cup soccer tournament in 2014.

“On the ground, we can expect ... cost overruns and a rush to push through projects. Cariocas (Rio residents) will see their cost of living increase, their streets clogged and the branding of their public spaces,” said Christopher Gaffney, an American academic who’s a visiting professor

before ground was broken.

Amnesty International and the United Nations have called attention to allegations of human rights abuses in connection with the eviction of families living on land slated for Olympic and World Cup projects.

Nationwide, some 170,000 people are facing threats to their housing, or already have been removed, in the 12 cities that will host World Cup matches, according to the Coalition of Popular Committees for the World Cup and the Olympics, an advocacy group for residents of the affected shantytowns.

Rio authorities insist the evictions have been carried out legally, but advocates counter that the city’s compensation is grossly inadequate. In 2010, compensation averaged $16,000 per home — an amount advocates say falls far short of allowing those displaced to buy another home in Rio, one of the hottest property markets in the world.

Texting message These aren’t actors, and their painful stories send a strong message about the dangers of texting while driving.

N

o text is worth losing a loved one.

No text is worth dying over.

No text is worth permanent brain damage.

A series of public service announcements currently being broadcast by AT&T dramatically illustrates the dangers of texting and driving. The spots are a little hard to watch, but they should make everyone who sees them put down their phones and pay attention to the road.

A mother and father recall their vivacious daughter, Mariah. The mother holds up a card saying “Where u at” and explains it was the text message Mariah was reading when she drove her car into oncoming traffic. A young man, who has suffered a traumatic brain injury, is shown struggling through a therapy session, while speaking in a halting voice.

His card says “Where r.” It’s the text message, he says, that caused the accident that “changed my life forever.”

Beside a photo of their son in his military uniform, a mother holds a card reading “Yeah T.” It was the message he was typing when he drove off the road, crashed and died of a massive skull fracture. A young woman talks about her little sister, Ashley, who giggled so hard that “she would even snort sometimes.”

Ashley was reading her sister’s one-word text, “Yeah,” just before she flipped her car and was killed on impact.

It’s hard to imagine the pain of the people on the screen and the courage it took to share these stories in such a public way, but their messages have a powerful impact.

Many states, including Kansas, have passed bans on sending text messages while driving. The laws are well-intentioned but even the best of them are hard to enforce. The threat of fines or other legal ramifications may cause some drivers to change their texting behavior, but, for most, the threat of death or serious injury is a much stronger deterrent.

That danger becomes a stark reality through the stories in AT&T’s “It Can Wait” campaign. The message is aimed specifically at teens, but it’s valid for drivers of all ages who choose to send and read text messages or even dial and talk on the phone when they are driving.

It’s an especially strong message in Lawrence as so many university students head back to town. You may think it’s safe to talk or text, but so did the victims portrayed in these television spots. It should be a sobering thought.

Misstatements can haunt candidates WASHINGTON — Barack Obama claims only that his legislative and foreign policy achievements in his first two years matched those of “any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR and Lincoln” in “modern history.” Some Obama enthusiasts are less restrained.

They suggest that among presidents, he ranks as the most learned since John Quincy Adams, the most profound since James Madison and the most visionary since Thomas Jefferson. And he is, of course, the most rhetorically gifted politician since Pericles.

Yet, remarkably, he is frequently misunderstood. How can this be?

After the June 8 news conference in which he said “the private sector is doing fine,” he, responding to the public’s strange inability to parse plain English, held another news conference in which he said: “It’s absolutely clear the economy is not doing fine; that’s the reason I had a press conference.”

That clarified everything, but then on July 13 the public, which Obama really must regard as a disappointment, again failed to comprehend him. In Roanoke, Va., he gave what any reasonable person must admit was an admirably pithy and entirely clear distillation of his political philosophy: “You didn’t build that.” The public’s obtuseness forced his campaign to run an ad saying “my words about small business” had

“

Ah, context.

In late October 1980, as Ronald Reagan prepared for his one debate with President Jimmy Carter, Reagan’s aides worried that Carter might unearth some of the inconveniently colorful things Reagan had said over the years, such as, when Patty Hearst’s kidnappers demanded the distribution of free food, including canned goods, Reagan reportedly said something like: This would be a good time for a botulism epidemic. When an aide wondered how Reagan could explain that quip, there was a long pause, and then another aide impishly suggested: “Say it was taken out of context.”

As Obama tries to cope with the public’s peculiar inability to discern his meanings, perhaps he can take comfort from very similar difficulties of another candidate for national office. On Aug. 18, 1920, the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee, campaigning in Butte, Mont., said that it would be fine for the United States to join the League of Nations because our nation would have multiple votes. He assured listeners that “the votes of Cuba, Haiti, San Domingo, Panama, Nicaragua and of the other Central American states” would not be cast “differently from the vote of the United States,” which is “the big brother of these little republics.”

Then, referring to his days as assistant secretary of the Navy, the vice presidential candidate said: “You know I have had something to do with running a couple of little republics. The facts are that I wrote Haiti’s constitution myself and, if I do say so, I think it a pretty good constitution.” He added: “Why, I have been running Haiti or San Domingo for the past seven years.”

As David Pietrusza writes in “1920: The Year of Six Presidents,” Haiti and the Dominican Republic had been U.S. protectorates since July 1915 and May 1916, respectively, but the boastful candidate had not written any constitution. Nevertheless, he repeated his indelicate claim — U.S. Marines had recently been involved

The first detachment of soldiers arrived in Lawrence last night and remained encamped overnight at Woodland Park. … From now on for practically two weeks there will be soldiers all about Lawrence, in camp, on the march and in battle. A big war problem is to be developed and Lawrence will have an opportunity of witnessing some real warfare.”

in some Haitian bloodshed — at three more Montana stops and then in San Francisco.

When, inevitably, the candidate’s words caused consternation here and there, he insisted he never said them, adding magnanimously, “I feel certain that the misquotation was entirely unintentional.” But the controversy continued, so on Sept. 2, in Maine, he added: “I should think that it would be obvious that one who has been so largely in touch with foreign relations through the Navy Department during the last seven years could not have made a deliberate false statement of this kind.”

Idaho’s Republican Sen. William Borah dryly said: “I am willing to admit that he didn’t say it, though I was there and heard him say it at the time.” Thirty-one witnesses of the Butte speech signed an affidavit attesting that the candidate had said what he was reported to have said, but public attention had wandered and the issue faded.

Far from being badly injured by this episode, the vice presidential candidate went on to become one of the three presidents in “modern history” — Obama includes Lincoln — whose achievements in their first two years are, Obama says, “possible” to compare to his. The candidate was one of liberalism’s saints, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Candidates should speak to real people PLYMOUTH NOTCH, VT. — Two of my pundit colleagues — David Brooks of The New York Times and Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal — have written about this “boring” and “inconsequential” presidential campaign.

Perhaps the reason is that we’ve heard it all before.

“There is nothing new under the sun,” wrote the author of Ecclesiastes, but that doesn’t mean old ideas that worked in the past can’t be updated and applied to our time.

Here in the birthplace of our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, an education center stands to promote his ideas and values (full disclosure: I serve on its National Advisory Board). Even Democratic politicians, including Gov. Howard Dean, Sen. Patrick Leahy and Independent Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, have made the journey to this frozen-in-time hamlet to honor Coolidge, if not always his principles. Some of Coolidge’s contemporaries may have found his reserved New England manner boring, but some moderns are starting to reconsider the economic rules and political standards by which he lived.

Another reason this presidential campaign has failed to ignite the public’s enthusiasm is that it seems more about politicians and

“

their power and not enough about everyday realities; too many talking points and not enough getting to the point.

Following President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remark, the Romney campaign produced TV commercials featuring small business owners sharing how they built their companies, often from scratch. The stories are interesting and compelling and it’s a tactic the campaign should use more often. Debating policies is academic.

Showing real people who have been harmed by policies that

aren’t working is how to connect with voters.

“All liberty is individual liberty,” noted Coolidge.

That sounds strangely foreign in an age where the collective is becoming supreme.

“It takes a village” has come to mean a government village, not a village of individuals helping each other with government intervening only when individuals are not enough.

Vermonters remain proud that after last summer’s floods they astounded FEMA by helping each other with greater speed and better results than government could produce. They call it the communitarian spirit.

Neighbor is expected to help neighbor.

The Romney campaign should consider speeches and more campaign ads that feature people who have “made it” on their own, or who have overcome personal difficulties by embracing timeless truths. It should stop debating Democrats about tax “fairness” and start focusing on how much of our money government wastes.

Republicans can never win a debate about “fairness,” even though it is unfair to disproportionately penalize the productive. Everyone understands waste, fraud and abuse. Romney needs

an updated version of the “Golden Fleece Award” created by the late Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis, who highlighted wasteful government spending.

Two of my favorite Coolidge quotes should be modernized by the Romney campaign and sold to voters.

One is: “I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people.

The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant.

Economy is idealism in its most practical form.”

The other attributed to Coolidge: “Nothing is easier than spending the public money. It does not appear to belong to anybody. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody.”

If Romney and his fellow Republicans reminded voters of a time when government respected small business, individuals and their earnings, this campaign would get interesting and consequential real fast.

McIlroy surges to record PGA win ——

Eight-shot lead gives Irish star second major title KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Right down to his red shirt, Rory McIlroy looked every bit the part of golf’s next star in another command performance at the PGA Championship.

McIlroy validated his record-setting U.S. Open win last year by blowing away the field Sunday at Kiawah Island. One last birdie from 25 feet on the 18th hole gave him a 6-under 66 for an eightshot victory, breaking the PGA Championship record for margin of McIlroy victory that Jack Nicklaus set in 1980.

The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland returned to No. 1 in the world, and he became the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to win two majors. Tiger Woods was about four months older than McIlroy when he won his second major.

Just like the U.S. Open, this one was never seriously in doubt.

McIlroy seized control with back-to-back birdies Sunday morning to complete the storm-delayed third round with a 67 and build a three-shot lead. No one got closer than two shots the rest of the way, and McIlroy closed out a remarkable week by playing bogey-free over the final 23 holes of a demanding Ocean Course.

David Lynn, a 38-year-old from England who was playing in America for the first time, won the B-flight. He closed with a 68 and was the runner-up.

Woods, who shared the 36-hole lead for the second time this year in a major, was never a serious factor. He tossed away his chances Saturday before the storm blew in and never could get closer than four shots. He closed with a 72, failing to break par on the weekend in any of the

AMW TEAM FRANCE 79, KANSAS 60

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ANRIO ADAMS, LEFT, TRIES TO SCORE against AMW Team France’s Joseph Georgi during the Jayhawks’ second straight exhibition loss, 79-60 on Sunday in Paris. KU coach Bill Self held out seniors Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey and Travis Releford, and freshman Ben McLemore did not play because of a groin injury.

Pros in Paris overpower inexperienced KU lineup

“

Offensively, we’re not very good. And we turn PARIS — Kansas University that sucker over at an coach Bill Self already knew alarming rate right now.” jnewell@ljworld.com

winning without four potential starters was going to be difficult Sunday.

That task became nearly impossible when AMW Team France’s Kevin Seraphin decided to elevate his game late.

The Washington Wizards forward — and 17th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft — dominated during a crucial stretch, helping to lift Team France to a 7960 blowout victory over KU at Stade Pierre de Coubertine.

“In the second half,” Self said, “he showed that he’s a man.”

KU trailed just 51-50 with a minute to go in the third quarter before Seraphin took over.

— Kansas University coach Bill Self, on his team’s 26 turnovers Sunday The 6-foot-9, 275-pound forward scored seven points during a 19-2 run over the next five minutes that turned a close game into a rout.

Seraphin, who didn’t play in the two teams’ game Saturday, finished with 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting.

“I was just chilling at my house, and my friend told me there they’ve got a game against Kansas,” said Seraphin, who averaged six

points and three rebounds for France’s national team in the Olympics earlier this month.

“I said, ‘OK, let’s go. Let’s play.’”

Self went without seniors Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey and Travis Releford, saying he wanted to get his young guys more experience. Another potential starter, Ben McLemore, also didn’t play because of a nagging groin injury.

Though that left the Jayhawks with just one scholarship upperclassman — senior Kevin Young — they still managed to take a 34-31 lead into halftime.

“We were just competing,” KU freshman guard Andrew White said. “That competitive edge and defending, that’ll hold a team in the game that’s missing their three star players.”

It didn’t keep the Jayhawks in it the whole game, though, as Seraphin’s inside presence contributed to the French making all seven of their twopoint attempts in the fourth quarter.

KU didn’t help itself offensively, making just 9 of 39 second-half shots (23 percent) with 12 turnovers.

The Jayhawks ended up with 26 giveaways.

“Offensively, we’re not very good. And we turn that sucker over at an alarming rate right now,” Self said. “Our newcomers are unbelievably poor at taking care of the basketball.”

The loss was the Jayhawks’ second straight defeat after not losing an exhibition game since 1995.

Ex-Jayhawk Kaun, Russia earn bronze J-W Staff and Wire Reports

LONDON — Former Kansas University center Sasha Kaun is an Olympic bronze medalist.

Kaun, 6-11, 250 pounds from Tomsk, Russia, scored six points and grabbed six rebounds while playing 30 minutes in Russia’s 81-77 bronze medal victory over Argentina on Sunday in London.

Kaun, who played for KU’s 2008 national title team, was the first Jayhawk men’s basketball player to participate in the Olympic Games since Danny Manning in 1988, winning the bronze medal.

Kaun currently plays professionally for CSKA Moscow.

LONDON (AP) — This was no Dream Team. This was reality.

The gold medal was in doubt for the U.S. men’s basketball team.

The Americans led Spain by only one point after three quarters, a back-and-forth, impossible-to-turn-awayfrom game that almost anyone would hope for in an Olympic final.

Especially, it turns out, the U.S. players.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We didn’t want it easy,” LeBron James said. “A lot of teams have won gold easy. We didn’t want it that way. We’re a competitive team, and we love when it gets tight. That’s when our will and determination kind of shows. It was the same way in ‘08.”

Same result, too.

The Americans defended their title Sunday by fighting off another huge challenge from Spain, pulling away in the final minutes for a 107-100 victory and a second straight Olympic championship.

And just like 2008, the star-studded Americans had to work for this one.

USA won 107-100. “the new Dream Team” in an article, but the real Dream Team never had a game like this 20 years ago in Barcelona. And if that means this group isn’t worthy of the comparisons to Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Co., the players had their own response.

“Everybody wants to make that comparison, but at the end of the day we’re both

wearing these,” forward Kevin Love said, pulling on his gold medal. “That’s pretty good.”

James capped one of basketball’s most brilliant individual years with a monster dunk and a huge 3-pointer in the final 2:50 that finally ended a Spanish threat few expected after the Americans had been so dominant for so long in London.

Yet four years after beating Spain 118-107 in a classic in Beijing, the U.S. found itself in another tight one, unable to ever really slow the Spanish down until the closing minutes.

COMING TUESDAY s &REE 3TATE AND ,AWRENCE (IGH FOOTBALL TAKE TO THE FIELDS FOR THEIR FIRST DAYS OF FALL PRACTICE

Dave Barry: No joke, Brits a hit

By Dave Barry McClatchy Newspapers

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And so the time has come, after three weeks at the Olympics, to pack our suitcases, pour gasoline on them and set them on fire, because we have been recycling our underwear to the point where it can never be used again except for biological warfare.

But before we leave, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assess these Olympics. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start with the bad: ! SHOUTING MICROPHONE IDIOTS: This trend started at U.S. sporting events, and unfortunately has spread to the Olympics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the practice of giving a microphone to a DJ wannabe who, instead of letting the spectators react naturally, hectors them relentlessly, demanding that they cheer, often when nothing is happening.

The worst offender here was a bellowing twit at the basketball games who kept ordering the crowd, over the absurdly over-amplified p.a. system, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;MAKE SOME NOISSSE!â&#x20AC;?

I came to hate this guy.

While plugging my ears with my fingers, I had this fantasy, which is that scientists had invented, and I had brought to the arena, a portable but very powerful Sound Ray Gun. In my fantasy, the first time the microphone twit ordered us to MAKE SOME NOI... he would be floored, in mid-bellow, by a tightly focused blast of highdecibel energy that would melt his microphone and leave him naked and hairless. The specta-

COMMENTARY tors would then be free to make their own cheering decisions. ! BBC HOMERISM: Many people, including me, have criticized NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to gloss over or ignore non-American athletes. I will not do this again, not after two weeks of watching BBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic coverage, which was so obsessively focused on British athletes that you sometimes couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sure what sport you were watching, only that some athlete from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team GBâ&#x20AC;? was battling it out against a Croatian for 17th place. ! THE FOOD: I know, I know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clichĂŠ that English food is bad. But a lot of people have been claiming itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better. These people are lying: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still horrible. At least it was at the Olympic venues. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tip: If any food vendor ever asks you if you want, for your side dish, something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;mushy peas,â&#x20AC;? tell him no, even if the alternative is squid gonads.

OK, those are the main things I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like about these Olympics. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I liked: Everything else. London was a truly great host city, somehow managing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite its confusing vastness, its crowding, its insane traffic, its frantic overwhelming busy-ness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be gracious and welcoming. The games were well organized; the thousands of volunteers, God bless them, were as earnest and helpful at 2 a.m. on the 11th day of the games as they were at

Woodland ties at 42nd at PGA

noon on the first. The Londoners I encountered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people on the street, people in the Tube, taxi drivers, waiters, store clerks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were uniformly cheerful and patient, no matter how long it took me to figure out which coin was 10 pence and which was 20.

People say London is not as civil as it used to be. That may be, but London has a long way to fall before it becomes (to pick a city at random) Miami.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a charmingly quaint politeness about public discourse here, especially the fussy way that instructions are phrased. The most famous example is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mind the gapâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; telling you not to step between train and platform â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but you see it everywhere. For example, this was printed in the shower wall of my hotel bathroom: â&#x20AC;&#x153;INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING YOUR WATER TEMPERATURE â&#x20AC;&#x153;1. Turning the temperature control anti-clockwise (to the left) increases your water temperature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2. Depressing the red button and continuing to run anti-clockwise (to the left) will increase the water temperature further.â&#x20AC;?

In the United States, these instructions would consist of an arrow pointing left, and the word HOT. More efficient, yes. But less polite, and far less entertaining.

Which brings me to my favorite thing about the Brits.

WARNING: ANOTHER CLICHĂ&#x2030; AHEAD

These people have an excellent sense of humor. I mean, all of them. Whatever the joke is, they get it. My favorite experience here was participating in the International Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship in a pub. Now, this was a funny event, but the humor could easily have been ruined, in two ways: 1. Somebody pointing out that it was funny. Nothing drains the wackiness from a wacky situation as quickly as somebody going, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is so ridiculous! Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock, paper, scissors! Ha ha!â&#x20AC;?

2. Somebody taking it too seriously â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, actually wanting to be world champion of rock, paper, scissors.

In most places, if you hold a rock, paper, scissors tournament, you will quickly see both of these humor-killing behaviors. In the United States, lawsuits would be filed. But not here. Here, the people in the pub â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there were hundreds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; executed a perfect parody of spectators and competitors at an important sporting event. They never broke character; they displayed great passion and intensity throughout, without a single ounce of sincerity. It was brilliantly funny, and nobody ever said so.

It almost makes me wonder whether the Brits were kidding about the Olympics, too. Probably not; they seem genuinely proud of the way things turned out. As they should be.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure the mushy peas are a joke.

four majors for the first time in his career.

If there was a signature shot for McIlroy at Kiawah Island, it might have been Saturday when his tee shot lodged into a tree on the third hole. He only found it with help from the TV crew, took his penalty shot and fired a wedge into 6 feet to save par. He was on his way, and he never let up, finishing at a 13-under 275.

McIlroy also won the U.S. Open by eight shots, the kind of dominance that Woods has displayed over so many years.

By winning the PGA Championship, he is halfway home to the career Grand Slam.

Ian Poulter put up the stiffest challenge, though not for long. Poulter, who started the final round six shots behind, made six birdies through seven holes to get within two shots.

He made three straight bogeys on the back nine and had to settle for a 69. He tied for third at 4-under 284, along with Justin Rose (66) and defending champion Keegan Bradley (68).

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot 71 in the final round of the PGA Championship and tied for 42nd place. He shot three-under par on the front nine, then two-over on the back, including a bogey 5 on No. 18.

Woodland was on the first page of the leaderboard after the first round, Woodland then shot 75 in the second round and 79 in the third round to fall out of contention.

Woodlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season in the majors ended better than it began.

After withdrawing from the Masters following a third-round 85 and missing the cut at the U.S. Open, Woodland tied for 34th in the British Open and made a good showing at the PGA.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS QUARTERBACK ANDREW LUCK (12) CELEBRATES after throwing a touchdown pass against the St. Louis Rams in the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Sunday in Indianapolis.

Luck looks like top pick as Colts rout Rams INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andrew Luck started his NFL career just like Peyton Manning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a long touchdown pass on his first throw.

Then he one-upped his predecessor by winning his first NFL preseason game, 38-3 over St. Louis.

It was a perfect opening day for Luck and the Colts (No. 32 in the AP Pro32).

Indianapolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches wanted this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 overall draft pick to take 20 to 25 snaps. He got 24. They wanted to keep him upright, and though Luck hit the ground twice, he was not sacked. They wanted him to show his command of the offense, and in less than a half of play, Luck seemed to take a page right out of Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playbook.

Luck wound up of 10 of 16 for 188 yards with two TD passes. Three of the incompletions were drops, two were throwaways, and only one pass, a deep out to rookie T.Y. Hilton, came close to being picked off. But Hilton hauled it in, barely getting both feet inbounds, and in typical Manning fashion, Luck rushed the Colts to the line of scrimmage and snapped the ball before the Rams could challenge.

Dolphins cut Chad Johnson DAVIE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six-time Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson has been released by the Miami Dolphins one day after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving his wife.

Johnson was released from jail on $2,500 bond earlier Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor.

The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basketball Wives.â&#x20AC;? The 34-yearold Johnson had been battling for a spot on the team after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011.

Ambrose wins at Watkins Glen WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marcos Ambrose passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap, then held him off in a fender-banging duel to win the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International for the second straight time.

Kyle Busch was in control but was leaking oil on the track and skidded sideways coming out of the first turn of the final lap. Keselowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 Dodge caromed off the side of the No. 18 Toyota and Ambrose followed Keselowski through.

Ambrose and Keselowski battled side by side the rest of the way around the 2.45-mile layout, with neither giving ground before Ambrose moved in front heading to the checkered flag.

Jimmie Johnson was third.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks soak in pro’s play

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

BALTIMORE ORIOLES RIGHT FIELDER NICK MARKAKIS (21) ROUNDS THE BASES after he hit a home run against Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Bruce Chen (52) during the fifth inning on Sunday in Baltimore. The Orioles won 5-3.

Orioles, Machado mash in Royals loss BALTIMORE (AP) — The Kansas City Royals slugged their way through four games at Camden Yards, taking full advantage of the short distance to the outfield fence to hit eight home runs against the Baltimore Orioles.

Unfortunately, the Royals were also victimized by the long ball. Such was the case Sunday, when Kansas City yielded two homers in a 5-3 loss that gave Baltimore a split of the series.

Manny Machado hit his third homer in four major league games and Nick Markakis also connected for the Orioles, who got four hitless innings from their bullpen.

Throughout the series, the Royals had no answer for Machado, who went 6 for 16 with a double, triple, three home runs and seven RBIs. “I like him. I was impressed,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

“The scouting reports that we got said he had a couple of holes in his swing.

We couldn’t find them.

He hurt us. He won two games for them against us with homers. He hit the ball to center field. He hits the ball to left field.”

Mike Moustakas homered for the Royals, who went 4-3 on a road swing against the White Sox and Orioles. Kansas City has 15 home runs over its last eight games.

“We’ve been showing some signs of pop over here and that’s what we need,” Moustakas said.

“We got a lot of guys that can swing the bat with some authority.”

The Royals are 49-65, but they gave Baltimore all it could handle.

“We were playing better baseball,” Yost said.

“I’m anxious to get home and see what we can do there.”

Machado hit a two-run homer in the second off former Orioles pitcher Bruce Chen (8-10). Machado tripled in his debut Thursday night, homered twice in his second game and doubled in a run Saturday night.

With his home run Sunday, the 20-year-old Machado joined Frank Robinson, Ray Knight and Lee May as the only players to get an extra-base hit in each of their first four games with the Orioles.

Baltimore went up 4-3 in the sixth. After Chen issued two straight walks, Reynolds greeted Louis Coleman with an RBI single to left. The Orioles added an unearned run in the eighth.

Luis Ayala (4-3) worked the sixth, and Troy Patton and Pedro Strop each got three outs before Jim Johnson finished for his 34th save in 37 opportunities.

“They’ve got a pretty strong back end of the bullpen,” Yost said. “Once they got into it with the lead, you got to hope they make a mistake.”

Orioles starter Tommy Hunter gave up three runs and eight hits in five innings. The right-hander has yielded at least one home run in 10 straight starts, and the two walks were Hunter’s most in a game since April 24.

After stranding runners at the corners in the first inning, the Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the second.

Reynolds led off with a walk before Machado hit a drive to center that umpires initially ruled bounced off the top of the wall. After a quick replay review, Machado broke into his home-run trot from second base.

Moustakas ended an 0-for-10 drought with a liner off the foul pole in right field leading off the fourth, and Brayan Pena added a sacrifice fly to tie it at 2.

The Royals got a run in the fifth when Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar singled ahead of a double-play grounder by Moustakas. In the bottom half, Markakis knotted the score at 3 and ended Chen’s run of 11 straight outs with a drive to right on a 3-2 pitch.

Chen allowed four runs, four hits and three walks in 5 1-3 innings.

“It came down to the sixth inning, a couple of guys on base and one of them ended up scoring,” he said. “It was a tough loss, but they have a very good team and they have a very good bullpen.”

Notes: Baltimore’s Adam Jones started at DH for the first time in his career. Nate McLouth took over in CF and made an outstanding diving catch to end the seventh inning. ... KC’s Billy Butler went 2 for 3 and was 6 for 16 with 2 HRs in the series. ... Orioles RHP Jason Hammel experienced no pain in his surgically repaired right knee a day after throwing off the front of the mound for the first time since the procedure. He will throw off the mound today. ...

Both teams have today off. ... Markakis is 8 for 15 lifetime against Chen. ...

KC’s run of eight straight games with a home run ties a season high.

PARIS — Kevin Seraphin, who averaged 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds for the Washington Wizards last year, said he was impressed by what he saw from Kansas’ young post players.

“They’re really good.

They play with intensity,” Seraphin said. “They like to compete and fight. That was a good thing.”

KU freshman forward Landen Lucas said going against Seraphin was a fun challenge.

“It’s good, because really, in a couple years, that’s the kind of player I see myself being,” Lucas said.

“He’s big and seals well, uses his body real well. So to be able to get out there and get a chance to bang against him was great.

“You always want to learn, especially from players like that. Just seeing the way he would use his body, I definitely learned.

While I was on the bench, I definitely was watching him the whole time.”

Seraphin’s presence on Washington’s roster most likely was one reason the Wizards decided to pass up on former KU forward Thomas Robinson with the third pick in June’s NBA Draft.

“I told him at halftime, ‘You must be pretty good if they didn’t take Robinson,’” Self said. “He said, ‘I know Robinson. I am good.’”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S PERRY ELLIS, RIGHT, BATTLES against AMW Team France’s Joseph Georgi during the Jayhawks’ second straight exhibition loss, 79-60 on Sunday in Paris. Ellis led KU with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the game.

“I told them before the game, I said, ‘You guys have been sitting on the bench, saying, “If he’d just give me a chance, I’ll show him what I can do.”’ Well, they had a chance to show us tonight. The end result wasn’t pretty,” Self said.

“It’s kind of a humbling deal for them, but they know now they’ve got to get back to work.”

So did any players perform well with their opportunity?

“I think Landen Lucas Chance to play did some good things. I Self was able to receive think Justin Wesley did an extended look at nine some good things,” Self newcomers Sunday. said. “Zach Peters re-

bounded the ball well. …

Perry put up numbers, but Perry could have easily had 25 points and 20 rebounds tonight. He could have easily had that, because he just has a knack for scoring and rebounding.”

‘No excuses’ KU freshman guard Andrew White said playing Seraphin shouldn’t have made a difference.

“He was a really good player, strong inside. He could finish. But we’re going to see players as good as him,” White said.

“No excuses. When we lost this game by so many

title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year.

For Kobe Bryant, it was his last Olympic moment.

“This is it for me,” said Bryant, who scored 17 points and now has a second gold medal to go with his five NBA championships. “The other guys are good to go.”

Pau Gasol scored 24 points and Juan Carlos Navarro had 21 for Spain, which was again just a few minutes from its first basketball gold but couldn’t finish the job against the Americans.

The U.S. came in averaging nearly 117 points and stomping on their competition with such ease that even the Olympics’ own daily preview had a hard time envisioning intrigue, writing that it would “likely take a great game from Spain and an off-day from the USA to cause an upset.”

KU also fell to AMW Team France, 74-73, on Saturday.

“Our veterans need to really step up, because there’s no reason why we should have lost back-toback games,” Self said.

“Tonight’s a little bit expected, based on the personnel, but last night was inexcusable.”

Perry Ellis led KU, scoring 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting to go with 12 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Still, Self believed the freshman forward had the potential to play better.

“He’s a guy that, to me, his talent level is so high that he’s just got to be more aggressive all the time,” Self said. “If he’s not aggressive, then obviously, he doesn’t play to his talent level — to what I think it is.

“Because he’s one of those guys that gets 16 (points) and 12 (rebounds) in 20 minutes, and you think he should have had 25 and 16. So he’ll get better at that. He’s improved a lot since he’s started.”

Andrew White added 15 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the floor and 3-for-7 shooting for three.

The freshman guard White led KU in scoring average on its exhibition trip, posting 11 points per contest.

The Jayhawks ended their European exhibition tour with a 2-2 record.

Well, Spain brought the great game and trailed by only a point heading into the fourth quarter.

But the Spanish somehow lost sight of James, and the game’s best player drove uncontested and threw it down for a 99-91 lead with 2:48 left. After Marc Gasol dunked, James dribbled outside the circle with Marc Gasol giving him just a bit too much room, and James pulled up for the 3 that made it 10293 with 1:59 to play.

Pau Gasol then was called for an offensive foul on a pick, and the Ameri-

points, I didn’t think about him at all.

“We should have won this game regardless of who’s playing on our team, who’s playing on their team. That’s the expectation of this program.

There’s no excuses.”

Coach ‘T’ T’ed Assistant Kurtis Townsend served as KU’s head coach for Sunday’s game, as Self let him take over duties to get some game experience.

While arguing a call in the fourth quarter, Townsend picked up a technical foul.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 10B

Dear Annie: My brother, “Luke,” recently returned to our hometown. Since he’s been back, all he has done is drink beer. He has made no effort to find a job. I love him, but it is quite obvious that he’s an alcoholic.

When Luke lived here 10 years ago, he was constantly intoxicated. When my husband confronted him about his drinking, Luke left town and didn’t speak to me for years.

Now when I tell him he has had too much to drink, he pushes me away saying he’s not a little kid anymore. Maybe not, but he acts like one. Luke needs someone to take care of him, make sure he’s eaten and bail him out of jail.

I don’t know what to do. Luke is not my kid, and he’s too old to be my responsibility. How can I help? — Completely Lost Dear Lost: We know it will be difficult, but you

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

need to step back and allow Luke to hit bottom.

This doesn’t mean he will stop drinking. It means you cannot make him stay sober. By bailing him out of jail, making sure he eats and otherwise protecting him, you also enable him to continue drinking. He knows you are there to pick him up when he falls. And until you stop, you will continue to agonize over his drinking. Please contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for support and information.

Dear Annie: Is there

Interns not worth dime The new love-to-hate series “Gallery Girls” (9 p.m., Bravo) features a gaggle of delusional and entitled 20-somethings.

These seven young women seek jobs, or rather unpaid internships, in New York’s most prestigious art galleries. Some have to struggle; others use their daddies’ connections. Guess which “Girls” make better interns?

Despite the gallery milieu, the girls don’t talk about art — or culture, books, ideas or anything but themselves. To watch people so young behave in such a selfish, vapid manner is ultimately more depressing than distracting. One girl does admit that she “grew up watching ‘Sex and the City.’”

Now that explains just about everything.

To my surprise, chef Gordon Ramsay’s first rescue mission on “Hotel Hell” (7 p.m., Fox) is much grimmer than I expected and provocatively addicting.

Ramsay travels to Windsor, Vt., and the picturesque Juniper Hill Inn, a place with history and charm. Sadly, its current owners, Robert Dean II and his partner, have run the place so badly that it teeters on insolvency. Ramsay quickly discovers that Dean treats the place like his private clubhouse, festooning the interior with his growing art collection.

Local residents feel alienated by his snobbery and his staff hates him, for reasons that accumulate over the two-part premiere.

While some employees quibble that Dean comps his snobby friends, leaving the workers without tips, their chief beef is that he collects art and antiques like a deranged hoarder but often fails to issue paychecks on time, forcing the employees to beg for their salary.

When they complain, he condescendingly snaps, “You don’t have to work here.”

This forces Ramsay into the interesting position of being the champion of the working stiff, or in this case, the stiffed worker.

“Stars Earn Stripes” (7 p.m., NBC) enlists Hollywood C-, D- and even E-listers to undertake training “inspired by real military exercises.” According to the network, it’s supposed to “honor” America’s armed forces. As if people who risk their lives for their country need the “honor” of a reality game show. Is this the militarization of Hollywood or the Hollywoodization of the military? Or just a really dumb idea?

Closing time arrives on the series finale of “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT).

Tonight’s other highlights

Gordon Ramsay hosts “Hell’s Kitchen” (8 p.m., Fox).

Burned by a barista on “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Nick adjusts to his mother’s return on the season premiere of “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Former Cuban President Fidel Castro is 86. Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders is 79.

any accepted etiquette about who plants flowers at a gravesite?

My husband died eight years ago. I commissioned a beautiful gravestone to be hand-carved from native stone. I planted perennials at the grave, and I touch up and replant each year. On numerous occasions, his exwife (who has remarried twice) has planted flowers at the grave without consulting me. Most recently, she planted flowers where I had planted early perennials. She built the area up with a mound of soil and mulch so that when her plants grow, they will hide some of the beautiful hand carving on the stone in addition to burying some of my plantings.

I feel this is inappropriate. It is my privilege, not hers, to care for my husband’s grave. This is especially grating because she did everything she could to exclude

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Aug. 13: This year you become more resilient than ever before. You learn to go along with the unexpected, as you see it as exciting rather than a problem. If you are single, you attract many people. If you are attached, the two of you relate on an even more positive level.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have been maintaining a high level of activity and are full of spunk. Some people might be taken aback by your frenetic energy and wish you would slow down.

Tonight: Happily head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be a little overwhelmed by everything you need to do. You express gentleness when speaking through your expressions and body language. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Realize what is happening, and take responsibility for your role. A friend or associate acts in a most unexpected manner. Tonight: Pick up tickets to a game or concert.

Make it a treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You wake up feeling great. Throw in an impromptu activity, and you won’t need your morning coffee. Tonight: All smiles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Please note what is happening behind the scenes. You could be surprised by forthcoming news.

Tonight: Vanish. Do your thing.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what is important. Do not sell yourself short.

Tonight: Only where the action is.

me from my stepchildren’s lives after their father’s death. We have been able to interact in a friendlier manner in recent years, and she did eventually apologize for her past behavior.

I don’t want to create a new problem, but this just aggravates the heck out of me. Am I off base?

— Cranky in Kansas Dear Cranky: While there are no restrictions on who can place flowers at a gravesite, the ex-wife sounds a little passive-aggressive in her approach.

Try co-opting her. Call and say you noticed the lovely flowers she left, but trust she didn’t intentionally plan to cover the carving so her children couldn’t see it. Ask her to come along the next time so the two of you can make it beautiful together and so she will know exactly how you want it to look. If she still digs up your plants, it’s OK to remove hers.

jacquelinebigar.com

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of your limitations, and understand that you will need to take the lead anyway.

You are juggling two very different interests right now. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Read between the lines.

Understand how someone might be too vulnerable to share his or her feelings. Tonight: Make sure music is playing wherever you are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with an associate or loved one directly. You might not be aware of what is happening with this person, but you’ll have an idea by the end of the day. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others with an understanding of what you want out of the situation, and be sure to explain those terms. Expect only a positive response. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dive into your day and clear out high-priority items early on. You might be surprised by a friend who pops in on you unexpectedly. Tonight: Choose a relaxing activity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be sensitive to the possibilities that surround a creative endeavor. You might decide to go for a different style or new way of handling this situation. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Back-to-school time affords opportunity to start over

I

t’s hard to believe that it’s August already. Although the temperatures clearly indicate that summer is very much still with us, in actuality it is backto-school time.

This means many different things to different people. For some, it signals the end of summer’s long and languid days and a return to a life dictated by activities and schedules. For others, it signifies the onset of fall, even though our weather won’t support that belief for another two months.

For me, back-to-school time is bliss. I love the structure, routine and order that it brings. I love the sense of newness and excitement that is in the air. I love the fact that my children are excited to see their new classrooms and are ready and eager to get back to learning.

Perhaps that is a stretch, but all of these things do share one commonality. For many of us, this time of year signifies a fresh start. It’s a time of renewal and a time to get back into the swing of things.

Perhaps you struggled to work out, or even walk out, in the blazing July heat. Perhaps you had every good intention of making it to the gym, but the pool called instead.

Or perhaps you felt like The Biggest Loser because you never managed to get in swimsuit shape in the first place, so you never actually even made it to the pool.

As I See

FIT JENNIFER OSBORN

It’s time to let it go. Let go of all of your good intentions, and let go of all of your guilt. Forgive yourself for falling off of the wagon. Let. It. Go. You need to forgive and forget and get ready for a new season, one that promises to be full of new beginnings.

Make a new plan. Set a small goal, and make sure that it is an attainable and achievable one. Don’t start out by saying that you are going to work out seven days a week, drink only water and eat only fruits and vegetables. Not that there

is anything wrong with that! If you can do that, kudos to you and that is fantastic. I’m simply trying to say that we don’t want to set ourselves up for failure. We want to make small, simple and sustainable changes that will benefit our overall health and wellness.

It’s not all about physically working out. It’s about checking in with ourselves to determine what we need to be happy and healthy. It’s about that whole mind/ body connection that we hear touted so often. We hear it because it rings with truth.

If we are not well within, it’s hard to be well on the outside. We have to identify harmful and negative behaviors and try to find the root of the problem. Once we can do this, our fitness journey will take on a new life.

Work to identify and overcome the obstacles that are getting in your way of a more fit and healthy you. It’s time to revamp your fitness strategy.

Let’s take full advantage of this new season, and let’s hit the ground running with new energy, strong resolve and a fresh perspective regarding our health and wellness.

Highlighter hues fuel back-to-school neon trend

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL, ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

YORK — Neon is a fashion trend that might be best suited to the cool kids — or real kids.

Unlike so many looks that trickled down from designer runways to mass retailers and into teenagers’ closets, the almost electrifying shades of pink, green, yellow and orange have been hanging out in high school hallways for a while. And they’re back again for the new school year.

“Teens stayed with neon because for them, it’s so easy to wear. It taps into youth, emotion and standing out, EW

which they like doing,” says Seventeen senior fashion editor Marissa Rosenblum.

The highlighter colors have evolved this season into accessories, beauty products and outerwear. There are still the T-shirts, colored jeans, hoodies and athletic apparel, but Rosenblum says the way to wear neon is as a single bright pop, not head to toe. (It’s probably a safe bet that lots of pint-sized athletes will buy into the bright footwear that has made Nike’s track and field sneakers one of the most buzzed-about looks of the Olympics.)

“This is the season of color: color on color, color back to neutrals. Neons are just one of the amazing color trends that are important right now,” says Anu Narayanan, vice

president of women’s merchandising for Old Navy.

She’d like to see mint green jeans with a yellow neon tank with a gray cardigan. “Neon looks best as a surprise within a look.”

For its largely grade-school customers, The Children’s Place will pair neon with navy as the cooler weather moves in. The brand started introducing neon through bright accents for its summer products but “you’ll see even more for the holidays,” says TCP senior vice president of design Michael Giannelli. “And it will continue into the spring and probably into next fall. ... We grabbed onto it because we have more freedom in kidswear to play with bright color.”

icah Clement and his wife, Tawny, wanted to do something special before their baby was born. So in February, they booked a reservation at Café Beautiful, 730 Mass., expecting a good night.

Their expectations were a little low.

“Overall it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” said Clement. “You have a window view of Mass. Street, and you can see the sunset as you dine. (The chef) serves only you, (making) it super intimate.”

Melinda Roeder is owner and sole chef at Café Beautiful, an Asian fusion, reservation-only restaurant that has shuffled through a few owners during its time in Lawrence, which spans about a decade.

The most notable and longest owner was Chef Ken Suken, a classically trained professional who set the bar high.

Roeder bought the business and opened in January knowing she would have to prove herself. She has plunged herself wholly into the endeavor, holding fast to some of the more established customs, such as serving only a few people at a time, providing multiple courses and allowing dinner to stretch on for several hours.

“This is my show now, but I want to respect the traditions that were built here because there were a lot of great ones,” said Roeder.

Café Beautiful is a restaurant you learn about through word of mouth. Forgoing advertisements, Roeder operates under the assumption that if the experience is good enough, customers will convince others to come.

This assumption is not naive, as the sort of folks who flock to Café Beautiful are often foodies. That includes Clement, who has been to the restaurant three times since February and will take his sister soon, despite the somewhat hefty price tag.

Depending on the menu, the ninecourse meal can run $50 to $70 or more per person.

“For what she’s doing, I think she could actually charge more, but she doesn’t,” said Clement. “You’re getting lots of courses, and every dish she brings out is just phenomenal.”

CAFÉ BEAUTIFUL CHEF MELINDA ROEDER took over ownership of the by-appointment-only Asian fusion restaurant about six months ago. Roeder, who greets the guests in addition to preparing and serving the meals, likes the one-on-one communication she gets with her patrons. ship. She then served as sous and executive chef at Mariscos, 4821 W. Sixth St., for three years. For a while, she operated her own catering business. But when Suken offered to sell Café Beautiful, she snatched it up, eager to fulfill a dream.

The glory of being a chef, says Roeder, is the creative control the profession lends you.

Before switching to culinary study, Roeder was an art student, taking metal smithing, jewelry making and other random studio classes. She always had a knack for cooking but had never thought of pursuing it professionally.

But after researching the chef apprenticeship for a friend, she convinced them both — herself and the friend — to attend. Once Roeder started studying the craft of cooking, things started to come together.

Roeder discovered the art of food. As a chef, she could funnel her creative energy and passion into cooking. While taste is key, some of that passion is exhibited visually.

“The presentation to me is just as important as how it tastes,” Roeder said.

“Each dish … is still a piece of art. We eat with our eyes. If something looks awful, you have this feeling going into it that you’re not going to enjoy it, but if it’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever had set in front of you, you kind of want to try it.”

Carol Hurst, who lived in Japan for four years, said that when it comes to presentation, Roeder nails it.

“Everything is so beautifully presented, and the presentation sets you up for the appreciation,” said Hurst. “Each course is just fabulous. … And the wonderful thing is, you not only enjoy the food, but you enjoy and learn a lot about the people you’re with.”

The menu is a collection of Roeder’s favorite things, things people wouldn’t order or normally even see on a menu every day.

There’s the traditional Korean custard with shrimp and vegetables, the duck tataki marinated in miso and five differ-

ent peppers, the spicy tuna sriracha with ginger sauce.

Roeder enjoys crafting dishes based on seasonal foods she buys locally. Everything but the fish is purchased in or around Lawrence.

Roeder serves only one table at a time, staggering reservations and blocking out 2-hour intervals for each one. She prefers small groups and maxes out at groups of 20, believing that after that, the quality of the experience is diminished.

“When you come up here, you feel like the most special person in the world because it’s you and whoever you’re with and the chef,” she said. “Everybody deserves to feel that good at dinner. We don’t get enough of it.

“We eat at such a rapid rate, in and out, and sometimes you feel pushed out by restaurants waiting to get another table.

That’s not the experience you have here.”

PICK A PEPPER Spicy or mild, summer vegetables add pep to dishes

Delicious/

NUTRITIOUS

SARAH HENNING & MEGAN STUKE

S

ome like it hot, while others are more mild. These pepper recipes span the continuum for heat tolerance, making something for everyone.

Delicious I’ll admit my garden has been lackluster this summer.

I got it in late, and it’s been stupid hot, and we just haven’t gotten a solid return on our investment of water and time. I’ve harvested a handful of tomatoes, a few decent squashes, some good herbs and some sad peppers.

My bell pepper plants have not produced a single thing. Not. One. Thing. My serranos do offer up some small pickins now and then, as do my jalapeno plants, but overall, it’s just a big disappointment.

The peppers are by far the saddest part of the whole thing because my husband is a pepper nutcase. He likes to harvest jalapenos, slice them up and eat them plain for a snack. He likes them on his eggs, in his salads, atop his hamburgers and as garnish on just about any dish I put in front of him. EVERYTHING is better with peppers.

I see him coming in from the garden with his handful of small, sad peppers, and I am sorry. Mostly sorry because they are not fit for stuffing with cream cheese and bacon and throwing on the grill, but also sorry because he has spent so much time in the heat, watering and tending and trying to make a go of the whole thing, only to be rewarded with these paltry offerings.

One thing, though, that the small peppers are good for, is sauce. They’re fine to throw in a food processor with some tomatoes for salsa, and they’re good for cream cheese dips and the like.

Recently, I decided to try my hand at chimichurri sauce, as it also seemed like a good application for the tiny peppers our garden is giving us. It’s good in a wrap, on eggs, tossed on a taco or drizzled over a steak.

DELICIOUS: Megan’s steak roulade with jalapeno chimichurri sauce can be spicy or toned down by adding sour cream to the sauce.

For this particular dinner, I wanted to do something a little more special than just steak, so I added cheese to the mix. That makes everything better, right?

STEAK ROULADE WITH JALAPENO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE For the sauce: 3 large jalapenos (or, if you are in my boat, about 6 really small ones) heaping handful of cilantro leaves (like half of the bundle you would get at the supermarket) 1/3 cup walnuts 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons lime juice 2 cloves garlic 1/3 cup sour cream (optional) 1/2 cup water salt and pepper Throw everything in a blender and process until it’s a thick sauce. It will have a little texture but should not have large pieces of nuts or jalapenos in it. I add the sour cream to mine but leave it out of my husband’s sauce. It’s too spicy for me without it, but if you are into the heat, skip the cooling sour cream.

For the steak: 1 large top round steak, cut into four strips

2 mozzarella cheese sticks, room temperature salt and pepper Salt and pepper the meat on both sides. Cut the cheese sticks in half and wrap the steak around them, securing with a toothpick.

Heat a skillet over high heat on the stove top (or you can do this on the grill). Once the skillet is piping hot, put the steak rounds on and brown all over, turning regularly to get it all brown. It’s important that the cheese be room temperature when you start or you will have to overcook the meat to get the cheese adequately melted.

Drizzle a tablespoon of chimichurri sauce over the top just before serving. It’s a quick and simple entree, but it looks fancy and adds something a little zesty and fresh to the steak.

NUTRITIOUS Most of the time, I try to eat as seasonally as possible.

For example, I try not to buy tomatoes in the winter or sweet potatoes in the summer, because I know I’ll probably be disappointed on both fronts (and that disappointment will cost more, too).

But there’s one item I buy in the winter even though I know they’re always best in the summer: bell peppers.

I’m kind of a freak for them. Red, yellow and orange are my absolute faves. And, honestly, it took me awhile to figure them out, mainly because I’ve always hated

green peppers, and they’re the ones I was exposed to the most growing up.

I didn’t understand their ubiquitous nature until I got a bit more into home vegetable gardening and realized that they were just unripe red, yellow or orange peppers.

Basically, a farm (large or small) can ensure it’ll make some money off the pepper crop by selling unripe green peppers first, rather than waiting for all of its peppers to reach maturity (and thus upping the risk that something will happen to them).

Anyhow, once I figured out how sweet and satisfying RIPE bell peppers could be, they made the staple list for my weekly shopping trips, no matter the season.

Though I really do think they’re best this time of year (as they should be).

Bonus: Uncooked bell peppers have tons of Vitamin C (349 percent of your daily value from one red pepper) and Vitamin A (103 percent).

Miranda’s moving on to the next phase

Double TAKE

Dr. Wes: Today I will perform a ceremony.

In a digital age, it is a ritual of clickdrop-and-drag. I will click on the computer folder entitled “Miranda Davis” and drag it into the folder titled “Double Take Archives,” where it will reside next to the other seven teen co-authors, safe, sound and easily accessed. Her work will be gone from our weekly lives but always available.

It occurs to me that this is a metaphor of parenting today. We send our teens into an archive called “Young Adult,” but we do not delete them from our lives. We drag and drop them where they belong, no longer children but not yet adults. That’s a different folder. One they have to dragand-drop for themselves in a few years.

It’s a sort of an amusing title, “teen coauthors,” since Jenny Kane is pushing 26.

Marissa Ballard Hemenway is married with a lovely child. John Murray is in Australia, exploring life and presumably making new “mates.” Julia Davidson is about to graduate from Macalester College in Minnesota. The rest are at various stages of their college matriculation, as Miranda will be in another week.

But for readers of Double Take, they are captured in perpetuity as teenagers, archived as young people who shared their thoughts, opinions and at times even their personal lives with us.

I was reminded of this in compiling our books, “Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Teens” and “Real Life Advice for Parents of Teens” — learning what’s happened to each co-author; seeing how far they’ve come; feeling like we’ve contributed a little bit to their lives; knowing how much they’ve contributed to ours. I liked that feeling a lot.

And when I wasn’t feeling so great with editorial decisions and deadlines and meticulous copy editing, Miranda was a constant source of calm and support. It helped that she worked at Dillon’s, and I am fond of its bistro. We saw a lot of each

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS other in those months.

We’re not losing her from our community — Miranda’s a freshman at the Kansas University this fall — but we’ll miss her contribution here, even as we welcome fellow Free State High School student Katie Guyot next week.

Many families are saying goodbye to their own freshly minted young adults, leaving for college, trade school or the workforce. Regardless of how easy or tumultuous their brush with adolescence has been, parents always feel an undercurrent of grief accompanying the loss of a child to adulthood.

In those moments, it’s worth remembering that as parents, this is our ultimate purpose — to serve our children for a fraction of their lives, to prepare them as best we can for the rest and to step back gracefully and give them the freedom to return to us later, as healthy adults.

Miranda: It was a Friday night near the end of my junior year. I’d spent the past couple of days planning my best friend’s birthday party.

After all our friends showed up, I remembered something: the deadline of my Double

Take contest essay. Fear flooded my entire body as I checked the time. I had my pieces done — I just needed to polish the essay and send it off. So I ran like crazy to my car and headed home to send in the materials a few minutes past the 9 p.m. deadline. Dr. Wes still gave me that interview.

It was a close call to start my adventure with Double Take. And now my time is up.

Katie will take over next week, and I know she’ll be one of the best this column has ever seen. Not only is she a personal friend, but she also takes over my spot as co-editor of the Free State High newspaper. She has incredible talent, and she will surely shine.

If there is one lesson I’ve learned from Double Take, it is this: Pursue your dreams. Give them everything you have.

Jump in your car at the last minute to get that submission in, even if you don’t think you’ll make the deadline and obstacles are in your way. Life truly begins when you give yourself a chance and believe in your ability. If you don’t, no one else will.

As I close out my year, I want to thank Sam Schwartz, the column’s sixth coauthor, who served when I was a sophomore. I thought she was the smartest teenager in the world. Her articles were so inspiring that I wanted to be her; and if I could be half as good as the examples she set, I would feel accomplished.

Thanks also to the Journal-World for giving teen voices this kind of platform year after year, and to our readers for caring about this project and keeping it alive.

I must thank Dr. Wes. He has a family, a life, a practice and yet still manages to create and maintain a unique and wonderful column that I am blessed to be a part of.

And as always, I thank my family.

You’ve loved me so much and been there through it all, especially my mom who listened to all those columns I read to you, week after week.

I can only hope this is not the end of my byline, but just the beginning.

hen the weather is nice, many people get the urge to entertain just a little more frequently.

Interior design expert and TV personality Genevieve Gorder says the best approach to warm-weather entertaining is to make your space shine with a comfortable, approachable style.

Gorder has partnered with Mirassou Winery to help brighten up entertaining spaces for sharing good times and making good memories. Try one of her easy entertaining ideas to make your home feel warm and welcoming — putting your guests at ease as they raise a glass to your hosting skills:

A fun activity is hosting an at-home wine tasting. Ask guests to bring a bottle of wine from the same region — such as California — and then spend the evening trying different wines and learning which you like best.

Create a home bar on any surface of your home. Arrange beautiful wine bottles on a vintage silver or brass tray, add wine glasses and two taper candle holders. With a bit of mood lighting, glassware and beverages, a bar is just that simple, and guests know they can pour their own wine.

Put every surface to use when entertaining large groups, such as stacking coasters on the mantle to expand your typical entertaining space. Add a pop of color so guests know they can use the mantle as a gathering place.

The next time you have guests over for wine and cheese, create a buffet table that works your guests along the line vi-

sually. Start at the highest point with flatware and rolled linen napkins in tall vessels, then use cake tiers for flatbreads and crackers, followed by cutting boards for cheeses and accompaniments at the lowest point in the middle. Move the eye-line back up again at the finish with vases of nuts and bottles of wine.

Don’t be afraid to mix elements on your dining table to make your presentation really shine. Think about mixing metals like brass and silver with white glass to create a powerful triad. Then use mismatched plates and chairs to bring a homey and casual feeling to a gathering.

PACK IT UP

BY SARA SHEPHERD

P

eanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

They’re easy, cheap, fairly healthy and OK to leave at room temperature all morning — perfect for packing in kids’ lunch boxes.

But every day?

Booo-rrring.

More creative but equally healthy main-dish lunch box options abound.

This week, Go! teamed up with a grocery store chef and extension agent to bring you a few globally-inspired recipes plus tips on keeping those lunch boxes healthy and safe.

Tad Ingles, executive chef at Dillons Bistro, 4701 W. Sixth St., said his recipes for curry chicken salad, cold soba noodles and spring rolls should be easy to prepare and fun to eat, but also a way to subtly introduce children to new flavors.

Unlike the intensely spicy adult curries you might find at Indian restaurants, Ingles’ curry chicken salad is mild and sweet. It’s fine on plain bread, but even better — and more fun — on cinnamonswirl bread.

A large batch of chicken salad could be made ahead and refrigerated for days, Ingles said, making slapping together a child’s lunch (or a sandwich or snack for anyone else in the family) a breeze.

Soba noodles — spaghetti-shaped Japanese pasta made with buckwheat — have more fiber, protein and slow-releasing carbohydrates than plain white noodles, and adding a few veggies and light sauce easily makes them a meal.

“You’re getting a lot more bang for your buck,” Ingles said.

This dish also can be made ahead, re-

Put something different in kids’ lunch boxes this year

A CURRY CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH is good on plain bread but even better on cinnamon bread.

It can be made ahead and served throughout the week.

SWITCH IT UP The American Academy of Pediatrics, online at healthychildren.org, has these tips for making traditional brown-bag lunches more fun.

frigerated, and needs no heating up at lunchtime.

Spring rolls have a few more exotic flavors (at least for some children), such as fresh mint and cilantro. But they’re bundled into palm-size burrito-like rolls with familiar ingredients like carrots and shrimp.

The shrimp or tofu from the recipe could easily be replaced with pork, steak, chicken or most any other protein you have on hand or left over from dinner, Ingles said. Same for the vegetables — they’re the same ingredients you’d use in a basic dinner salad.

To round out the lunch box, add a drink such as milk or 100 percent juice and even some dessert, though that doesn’t necessarily mean a fat- and sugarfilled candy bar or snack cake.

“Most of us crave something sweet at the end of the meal — at least I do,” Ingles said.

He suggested a square of sticky rice

prepared with coconut milk, a fruit cup or even cereal bars, which can be sweet but usually have lots of fiber and nutrients.

Perishable food should not be at room temperature more than two hours, said Susan Johnson, family and consumer sciences extension agent with Douglas County K-State Research and Extension.

If it’s 90 degrees or hotter outside, that window shrinks to one hour.

For lunches that need refrigeration, adding a cold pack in the morning should be enough to keep them safe until it’s time to eat, Johnson said.

She also shared a trick for lunchmeat sandwiches: They can be frozen and placed in a lunch box without a cold pack. They’ll stay cold as they thaw, and by lunchtime they’ll be ready to eat.

Johnson said many people mistakenly think that prepackaged items such as cold Lunchables or even string cheese can be sent to school at room temperature.

variety of veggies as sandwich toppers: cucumber slices, grated carrots or zucchini.

Check out our Go! Extra board on Pinterest for more lunch box ideas: Pinterest.com/ljworld/ go-extra A simple rule of thumb, she said, is that if you bought it from a cold case at the store, it needs to stay cold.

“There’s nothing magical about those Lunchables to keep them safe,” Johnson said.

But for field trips or other situations where it’s a hassle to deal with cold packs or insulated containers, Johnson said, there’s always good old peanut butter and jelly.

Alterations breathe new life into vintage dress

K

nowing I have two sewing machines, tubs full of fabric, a plethora of supplies and the know-how to direct them, I’ve had a lot of friends ask to have craft nights with me.

Most recently, my friend Rachel found a red polka-dot dress at the Salvation Army that had potential but was just too matronly for a 20-something to wear as it was. She’s skilled in sewing, but she asked my input on what alterations to make.

This ended up being a really fun project because there were so many possibilities. I consulted and she did the legwork, but I wanted to share the options we came up with so you, too, can look at a dress from the 1980s in a whole new way.

SUPPLIES The original dress

vintage dress scissors sewing machine thread hand sewing needle

WHAT WE DID 1. First, we cut the dress in half a little bit above its elastic waistband, making a dress into separates — a skirt and a top. This was a polyester knit, so we didn’t have to worry about raveling and left most edges unhemmed.

2. Rachel wanted a skirt that was longer in the back than the front, so she folded the skirt in half, with the back seam as one of the folded edges, and cut a curved wedge from the front fold to about the middle of the bottom hem.

3. The top had cute, ruched sleeves that I liked, so I lobbied for keeping that detail and shortening the 3/4-length sleeves to short sleeves. We tried it, but Rachel decided it wasn’t her style.

4. Next we cut the sleeves off at an angle from armpit to near the neckline. Rachel hemmed the new sleeve openings and then used a piece of fabric from the sleeves to wrap around the back, making it a racerback. She hand-sewed the small wrap along the inside of the top.

After those alterations, she could wear the pieces separately, as a summer top and flirty skirt, or together as a dress, with a white belt to top it off. We even had some leftover pieces to make headbands and kerchiefs.

Keep an eye out for pieces with potential — a dress, pants or shirt that has a great pattern or nice details might just need a few alterations to make it your style.

The world we make A

Facebook friend of mine saw some UFOs recently. In fact, he photographed a bunch of them and posted them on his Facebook page.

My husband, a serious amateur astronomer, took one look and said, nah, those are weather balloons.

My friend’s posts got a lot of comments.

A few people had conventional explanations. Most agreed that this was proof of Something Out There. But nobody suggested that these lights were ghosts. Or divinities (major or minor, take your pick).

Imagine these lights in, say, 14th century England instead of 21st century America. Ghosts! faeries! angels! would have been the talk of the taverns. Not extraterrestrials or weather balloons.

We only see what we are prepared to see. Extraterrestrials or weather balloons in one culture, supernatural creatures in another. We fit things into the slots already prepared for them, and can’t take in the world any other way.

Yes, over time the categories shift; some things are added, some are subtracted; some combine and some separate. But the basic process, while it has fluidity, remains the same: we can only take in what is, in some sense, already there. We can’t help it. If we didn’t do this, our minds wouldn’t function at all.

The 13th century Chinese monk Wumen wrote “In the rice, there is sand.”

Indeed. Most of the time most of our thoughts are reasonably accurate — that’s the rice. If you see a red light, stop. If you see a green light and nobody is barreling through the intersection, go. It’s so highly improbable that a red or green light in that shape and that position is anything other than a traffic signal that we can ignore the possibility. The model fits well enough.

But there is sand in the rice. Inescapably so. You are so pleased that Jerry Sandusky has taken a personal interest in your son.

You are so lucky that Bernie Madoff invit-

We see what we are prepared to see. We don’t see what we’re not prepared to see.

And it’s really hard to let our preconceptions go.

Not only is there sand in the rice, but it’s not clear that they are distinct. Nothing in this tremendously complicated system of categories we use to navigate our way is ever exactly right. Any image we have of thieves, murderers and child molesters will be both incomplete (missing some thief, murderer or child molester) and too expansive (including someone who is not a thief, a murderer, a child molester). Even traffic laws are ambiguous: Define “full stop.”

So my friend clung to his vision of extraterrestrials. And I clung to my certainty of: Nope, no extraterrestrials here. The world we live in is the world we make.

Until, suddenly, it isn’t.

He is quick to point out that without ACME, he may have never gotten his job with Fishman & Tobin.

NYC T-shirt designer got start in Kansas

W

hen former Lawrence resident Donald Lee traveled to New York City to visit family just over a year ago, he never imagined his weeklong trip would turn into a permanent stay.

In fall 2009, Lee moved from Manhattan, Kan., to Lawrence to help open ACME, 847 Mass., Lawrence’s very own custom T-shirt store. This design guru had graduated from Kansas State University in 2007 with a graphic design degree and worked for a firm that designed municipal websites.

The store owners hired Lee and one other employee to venture into our beloved college town to design and sell “hot and fresh” custom T-shirts. Two years after a successful store launch, Lee got restless. During his visit to New York, he made a decision that changed the course of his life.

“I liked my job at ACME. It was a fun atmosphere, and I got to be creative. But it was time for me to get out of Kansas because I had lived there my entire life,” he said.

While on his trip, Lee submitted his resume and portfolio to New York apparel design firm Fishman & Tobin.

The next day, he received a call from the company, which boasts brands like Tommy Hilfiger, IZOD, Disney and Nautica asking for an interview.

“I honestly had no idea what they did. I just knew they were looking for a T-shirt designer. They asked me to come up with a few designs and gave me all the branding information for Tommy Hilfiger. That’s when I knew what this was all about.”

DONALD LEE is a former employee of ACME, 847 Mass., who now designs T-shirts for Tommy Hilfiger.

Lee designed four mock-ups over the weekend and submitted them to Fishman & Tobin on a Monday morning.

“They said, ‘OK, we’ll call you.’ From what I thought, I had given it a good try and I was going to go back to Kansas. Then they called me that afternoon and offered me the job.”

The match between Lee’s skill set and experience and what Fishman & Tobin was looking for in a designer for could not have been scripted more perfectly.

“They needed someone who was familiar with design-

&

ing T-shirts, who knew fits and fabric and who had an understanding of retail. They were looking for exactly who I am. I went back to Kansas, packed up and started at Fishman & Tobin a week and half later.”

I visited Lee at his office just across from the Empire State Building a couple weeks ago, and he gave me a tour of the Fishman & Tobin offices.

Each brand they design for has its own glass-windowed showroom complete with sample garments hanging on organized racks, a plethora of fabrics scattered over a table and posted designs that are up for review.

The showrooms each take on the aura of the brand they represent, but Lee hasn’t let these strict branding guidelines take away his creativity or dedication to working in a “fun” environment.

When we walked into the IZOD showroom, a brand for which Lee designs boys’ shirts, he made sure to point out one shirt design in particular. It included a picture of a surfer catching a wave. He pointed to the surfer.

“That’s me,” he said with a smile.

He is quick to point out that without ACME, he may have never gotten his job with Fishman & Tobin. Needless to say, Lawrence’s ACME left its mark on him, but he’s left quite the mark on Lawrence as well. As a matter of fact, you can still see his mark, in the form of T-shirt designs, on the wall at ACME. — Ali Edwards can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

e were newlyweds, completely broke and trying to attend a friend’s wedding in Denver as cheaply as possible.

We checked into a dive hotel about an hour before the wedding, smelly from a day of travel, when my husband realized he had forgotten his dress shirt.

He called the front desk for directions to the nearest mall, which was supposedly one mile south, and dashed out to buy a new shirt.

I headed to the shower where I found the tub covered in mildew, the drain surrounded by hair, and, I swear, a dead cockroach.

Obviously that wasn’t going to work for me. Rather than doing the logical thing and calling the front desk for a new room, I did the nonconfrontational thing and donned my husband’s beat-up camo-green jacket and a hat, grabbed our luggage and the wedding gift and checked out.

I loitered in the hotel parking lot a few minutes before deciding I looked pathetic, reasoning that I could surely hit the mall, or at least flag down my husband on the road before he got back to the hotel.

Mind you this was in the mid-90s, a few years before cell phones hit the free world.

After what seemed like two miles carrying a duffel bag, a backpack, a garment bag and a wedding gift, I waved down a police officer for help. As I explained my situation, he silently put my belongings in his trunk and told me to get in the car, specifically the back seat.

I begged him to help me find my husband so we could get to the wedding on time. He muttered something in his CB about a lost woman (poor thing was wandering the streets of suburban Denver) and headed south toward the mall.

Within seconds I spotted my unin-

formed husband heading north toward the hotel. The officer flipped on his lights and siren and made a U-turn in hot pursuit.

My husband looked back with panic as the officer motioned for him to pull over, shaking his head after spying me waving in his rearview mirror.

We all pulled over. I yanked the door handle ready to leap into my husband’s arms, but the door was locked. The officer got out instead and removed our things from his trunk while I sat in the back seat of the police car and listened.

“Sir, I found your wife walking southbound on this street. She claims she was looking for you?” The officer was puzzled.

My husband was not.

“That sounds like something she would do,” he said.

The officer unlocked my door and let me out. My husband opened his door and let me in, and we drove away to a hairless, roachless Marriott where we quickly transformed from oppressively odiferous to people you would want to sit near, just in time for the wedding.

Best of all, after 18 years of marriage (assuming we make it to Sunday), that saint of a man still picks me up when I am in need.

rombiculidae, commonly known as chiggers, are tiny, microscopic red mites whose larvae feed on skin cells before dropping to the ground and molting into nonparasitic adult nymphs.

Chiggers are best known for the relentlessly itchy welts they leave behind on arms, legs and torsos where clothing binds or soft, tender skin can be found.

These annoying pests can be somewhat controlled with traditional insecticides, but there are several nonchemical treatments that work very well.

Step 1: Mow lawns and weed garden beds regularly to help reduce chigger populations.

Chiggers prefer humid, shady areas and tend to be found in or beneath shrubs, trees, tall grasses and weedy areas.

Step 2: Avoid exposing any skin to chiggers and other pest by wearing tightfitting, long-sleeve shirts and pants tucked into socks when working outdoors.

Step 3: Treat yards and landscaped areas with powdered sulfur for a safe alternative to traditional insecticides. Poke several holes into the bottom and sides of a sulfur-filled bag, and shake the sulfur out onto grasses and beneath vegetation where chiggers might be present.

Step 4: When spreading sulfur is not a good option, spray shrubs, trees and other garden areas with insecticidal soap. For effective homemade insecticidal soap, dissolve 1/4 of a bar of Fels-Naptha laundry soap into one quart of hot water and store in a properly labeled container. It is best to grate or shave the soap before dissolving.

Mix 1 teaspoon of this concentrated soap mixture with 1 quart of water, and spray vegetation with a garden sprayer to eliminate mites, aphids and other garden pests.

Step 5: Hit ankles and calves several times with a sulfur-filled sock before heading out into chigger territory.

Step 6: After spending time outdoors, shower or bathe immediately with warm soapy water to rinse chiggers away before they have a chance to attach. If bathing is not an option, rubbing skin briskly with a dry towel will often prevent chigger bites.

Step 7: Sooth the itching of annoying chigger bites with calamine lotion; essential oils such as lavender, thyme, sage or tea tree oil; or better yet, cover bites with a dollop of Homestead Ranch Rosemary Goat Milk Hand & Body Cream. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Bomb-sniffing dog used in Iraq reunited with former Army handler

BY ERIC ADLER, MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

K

CITY, MO. — A U.S. Army dog and the handler whose life he saved have been reunited.

“He’s sitting on my couch,” Logan Black, 34, of Kansas City, Mo., said Wednesday of Diego, an 8-yearold bomb-sniffing yellow Labrador retriever that Black considered his best friend.

Black, who left the Army in 2007, was reunited with his canine comrade Tuesday at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas and drove back to Kansas City, returning to their Hyde Park neighborhood about midnight.

Black trained Diego when the dog was about 1 year old and took him into Iraq on as many as 40 missions.

Together they discovered caches of weapons buried in the desert, automatic weapons in the homes of insurgents, bombs hidden in the roadways of Fallujah. More than once, he said, Diego saved his life.

Several years after leaving the Army, Black began searching for Diego, hoping to adopt him when he was ANSAS

retired from duty. A Facebook page garnered national attention from the animal rights group PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Black learned that Diego, although older, was still on active duty and was being used to train military dog handlers at Lackland. The Army told Black he would get first dibs on adopting Diego when he retired.

This week he did.

“Both Logan and Diego have served our country with distinction,” U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri said in a statement. Her office had worked to help find the dog.

Black said Diego didn’t quite recognize his former handler at first. The lab had gotten older and grayer around his muzzle.

“At first, he completely ignored me. He was looking for a place to do his business,” Black said.

Once Black took Diego’s leash, it didn’t take long before the two were rolling on the ground.

“I feel great,” Black said. “Yeah, it’s awesome. It’s fantastic having him here.”
