“Jamming is like another language,” said Steve Mason, owner of Steve Mason Luthiers and Violin Shop. “You stand in a circle with a bunch of other people who speak that language and just speak it.”

A proposed plan to shore up the ever-changing Oread neighborhood is set to enter a new phase at Lawrence City Hall.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting are expected to officially ask the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to begin weighing in on how the neighborhood near the university should develop in the future.

“We’re looking for guidelines that speak to how development and redevelopment occurs in the future and how to keep the character of the neighborhood people enjoy” said Scott McCullough, planning director for the city.

Since the beginning of the year, the city’s planning staff has been working with an outside consultant to develop a draft set of guidelines for how specific areas of the Oread neighborhood should develop.

City officials don’t yet have the draft guidelines, but the document is expected to be ready for staff review by the end of August. In some cases, the guidelines will cover specific details such as the slope of roofs, the Please see OREAD, page 2A

Dead may bring new life to notorious, perhaps haunted, bordello

By Roger McKinney The Joplin Globe

GALENA — A Main Street building in southeast Kansas with loads of history and notoriety — and maybe even some ghosts — has been spared from demolition.

An online petition, “Save the Steffleback Bordello,” has gathered 230

signatures. It initially was directed at Galena Mayor Dale Oglesby, but it turns out that Oglesby is fully on board with the plan to save it, and in fact is part of a group trying to buy it and stabilize it.

“It’s an important part of the town’s history,” said David Hinkle, who goes by the name “Diego” with the group MoSo Ghost Hunt-

Details about what happened in the Steffleback Bordello are contained in the “Bedside Book of Bad Girls,” written by Michael Rutter and published earlier this year by Farcountry Press, as well as newspaper accounts provided by Laura Phillipi, site supervisor of the Lansing (Kan.) Historical Museum.

“It gives you a glimpse into the past of what this town and this area were like.

“The building is in pretty bad shape, and it’s going to take a lot to save it, but I think the city will benefit from having it restored,” Hinkle added.

According to Rutter, Ma Steffleback was known as “Galena’s Bloody Madam.”

The madam’s name was Nancy Wilson, after marrying her second husband, Charles Wilson. But news stories often referred to her by her previous married name.

cians. Instruments range from common fiddles and violins to more unique instruments like the kazoo or nyckelharp. The eight competition categories, as well as a youth award, are open to anyone and allow contestants to compete in their niche. There is even a miscellaneous acoustic instrument category, so musicians can play whatever instrument they want, even if it isn’t traditionally considered a bluegrass instrument.

Sixty-five musicians were entered in the championships, including third-year contestant Tim Daniels, from Leavenworth. Daniels has played the fiddle for 54 years.

He attends the event to hear other musicians and enters the competition because he enjoys the receptive audience and performing for a crowd.

The Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships originally started as the Douglas County championship in the hope that each county would have its own competition and the winners would then compete to be the state champion. After five years, it was clear the competitions should be combined to be one large state competition in Lawrence.

“There’s just a really strong, traditional music scene in the area,” championship director Gayle Sigurdson said.

The championship attracts locals as well as musicians from other states including Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri.

“We think the guidelines will help preserve the character and enhance the character of the neighborhood,” McCullough said.

On Tuesday, city commissioners won’t be asked to make any decisions about specific guidelines.

Instead, they’ll formally start a process for the Planning Commission and the Historic Resources Commission to hold public hearings on the new regulations. McCullough said that city commissioners likely won’t be asked to make a final decision on the new regulations until next year. Commissioners, though, already have approved a basic groundwork for the new regulations.

husband, Charles Wilson, were all linked to the October 1897 death of Frank Galbraith. He is variously referred to as a miner, peddler and client of the bordello.

Sensational stories The Stefflebacks were accused of taking Galbraith’s belongings after killing him and before dumping his body in a mine shaft. In a subsequent legend, that haul included gold coins, which were never found.

During the trial, the family also was identified as suspects in earlier unexplained miner deaths and the disappearance of two teenage girls who had been recruited to the bordello a year before.

Mine shafts were pumped and searched, but nothing more was found.

From the Sept. 17, 1897, Kansas Semi-Weekly Capital: “There are yet other parties unaccounted for which Mrs. Stevens, the prosecutor, says will be enrolled among the Stiffleback dead. In fact, there is no telling where the list will end.”

The trial got the town so whipped up that there are even reports of vigilante groups forming.

From the Topeka Weekly Capital on Sept. 17, 1897: “The people of Galena are thoroughly aroused.

A number of murders have been committed here lately and many disreputable characters have come here from other places. There is likely to be a determined effort to clear the moral atmosphere by making the town too hot to hold those not wanted.”

The sons, Ed and George Steffleback, were eventually convicted of first-degree murder and

Neighborhood Plan, which calls for splitting the neighborhood into five districts. Planners are now ready to create the specific regulations that will guide each district.

The districts are: ! A low-density residential district generally north of Memorial Stadium. ! A high-density residential district that runs along portions of Mississippi, Indiana, Ohio and Louisiana streets. ! A medium-density residential district that largely runs along the eastern edge of the Oread neighborhood and includes properties on parts of Vermont, Kentucky, 12th and 13th streets. ! The Hancock Historic District, which includes a small area between Louisiana and Mississippi streets just east of the football stadium. ! The Oread Historic District, which includes properties along Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio streets generally north of 11th Street.

“

Those murders are part of Galena’s wild and woolly past.”

— Galena Mayor Dale Oglesby, who is trying to help save the Stefflebach Bordello received life sentences, while their mother was convicted as an accomplice. Charles Wilson, Nancy’s second husband, was sentenced to 25 years for his role in the murder.

Another son, Mike Staffleback, was convicted of larceny and sentenced to seven years.

Nancy Wilson died of pneumonia at age 79 on March 9, 1909, in the Kansas Penitentiary at Leavenworth, according to the Leavenworth Public Library.

The Leavenworth Times of March 10, 1909, reported that her appeal to die outside of prison wasn’t granted. Her son George and husband, Charles Wilson, were allowed to join her. Mike already had been released and Ed had died in prison four years earlier.

“The death of Mrs. Staffleback was intensely pathetic and caused much commotion in the female ward of the penitentiary,” reads the newspaper account. “It is seldom that a woman dies in the female ward, and when it was announced this morning that she could not live, the other 33 female prisoners acted as though they were about to sustain the loss of a near relative.”

Lauren Woodall, with MoSo Ghost Hunters, started the online petition “Save the Steffleback Bordello” on Aug. 6. While it initially targeted Oglesby, now the group is gathering signatures to thank him.

“The mayor has decided not to demolish it!” reads a post on the site. “Thank you all for your support.

Paranormal activity The ghost hunter groups have an interest in the building because they think it may be haunted.

Hinkle, vice president of MoSo Ghost Hunters, said his members believe the building is a hot spot for paranormal activity, and ghost hunters who have gone into the building have reported voices, bumps and other unexplained activity.

Hinkle described the building as “very unwelcoming.”

“It just feels like you are not supposed to be there,” he added.

Although he was initially identified in the petition, Oglesby said he wants to protect the building.

“They’re not trying to convince me, because I’m trying to save it,” he said. “The petition is the preacher preaching to the choir.”

Oglesby said the city’s code enforcement officer had put it on a list for condemnation because the structure is leaning and the roof is not intact.

“I had the city attorney take it back off the condemnation list,” he said.

Oglesby said he is one of a group of people trying to buy the building from local businessman Larry Courtney. He said the plan is to try to stabilize and eventually restore it, but the task won’t be easy, or inexpensive.

“I think it’s got potential to be saved,” the mayor said. “It’s going to fall over if we don’t intervene.”

The mayor also agreed that the building and what happened there make Galena more interesting.

“Those murders are part of Galena’s wild and woolly past,” he said.

Kansas libraries let people check out cake pans GREAT BEND (AP) — A longtime practice of checking out cake pans at libraries in Kansas, particularly in rural areas, has increased as people look for a way to save money while still providing treats for special occasions.

More cake pans are being loaned at the Great Bend Public Library after employees recently moved nearly 100 of the pans from a back room to bookshelves, The Hutchinson News reported.

The pans come packaged in large plastic bags with decorating instructions.

The collection grows as more people donate their pans.

“I just love watching

people’s faces when they ask, ‘You have cake pans?’

Yep, we do,” said Cara Negaard, head of the library’s reference department.

Great Bend is just one of dozens across Kansas with such a collection.

The library in Sabetha has a collection of 168 cake pans, while the Coffey County Library in eastern Kansas has 389 cake pans among its six branches.

The cake pan collections provide a valued service to community members, library officials say.

“It’s a great way for people who want to have a special cake, but they don’t want to go out and make a big purchase,” said

Kathy Rippel, a consultant at the Central Kansas Library System in Great Bend.

“I think with the recession that started a couple of years ago, libraries began promoting these collections more and saying, ‘Hey, here are these things that we also have for you to use,’” said Tom Taylor, member library services coordinator at the South Central Kansas Library System, based in South Hutchinson.

The Great Bend Public Library had a few cake pans and provided free cake-decorating tips more than 25 years ago, said Terri Hurley, who retired last year as public relations director after 34 years at the library.

“We felt like it was a big help to the community at that time, especially in 1986, when there was nowhere else to get these pans,” Hurley said.

“People would use a pan once and give it to the library, or find one at a sale and donate it. Once word got around, more people started using (the collection) and we kept getting more donations.”

The State Library of Kansas did not have information on how many libraries in the state have cake pan collections. In calls to the state’s seven regional library systems, The News found at least 32 libraries across Kansas with collections, although there could be more.

Two years ago, the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department took on its first student intern.

It was such a success that the department decided to grow its internship program, and this semester, it has five full-time students — the most it has ever taken on.

“The more we gained experience and saw the very high capabilities of what they could do for us, we decided there could be ways we could integrate them into the work that we needed to have done,” said Charlotte Marthaler, assistant director.

As an intern, she was given the task of meeting with all of the department’s volunteers and finding out if the information they had on record was up-todate and accurate, especially on their training requirements.

She also created a video and wrote stories about why the health department supported a new Complete Streets policy in Lawrence. That policy would ensure that transportation planners and engineers design and operate roads with all users — including bicyclists, pedestrians and people with disabilities — in mind.

Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s enormously popular Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld.com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

News and notes from around town: ! The numbers are out for July home sales in Lawrence, and they are the best sign yet that a sustained recovery is under way in the Lawrence real estate market.

According to new numbers from the Lawrence Board of Realtors, 121 homes were sold in Lawrence during July. That’s up 40 percent from the 86 homes that were sold in July 2011.

More importantly, this is the fourth month in a row that home sales have been higher than they were for the same month a year earlier.

As a result, total home sales in Lawrence for 2012 are outpacing 2011 totals by nearly 22 percent. The Board of Realtors has recorded 551

sales in Lawrence, up from 465 during the same period a year ago.

There’s even good news for new home builders. The sale of newly constructed homes — a category that has been taking a beating — is now in positive territory for the year. Builders have sold 44 homes, up from 40 during the same period a year ago.

The Lawrence numbers come at the same time national housing numbers also are showing some new life.

The news on Thursday was that national home sales in July matched a two-year high. As a result, a new national survey of home builders has their confidence levels at a five-year high.

Homes sales both nationally and locally are still well below the levels seen during the housing boom of a few years ago, but nobody is expecting to get back to those levels.

Nationally, the uptick in housing has partially been fueled by lower housing prices. The article I read on Thursday estimates that housing prices nationally are about a third lower than they were during the peak of the housing boom. Housing values haven’t dropped anywhere near that much in Lawrence, but there are signs they are dropping.

For the year, the Board of Realtors calculates the median selling price of homes in Lawrence is down 5.6 perPlease see TOWN TALK, page 4A

16-year-old crashes after car chase

Wamego school sees student surge

LEAVENWORTH — A 16-year-old driver who led police on a car chase in northeast Kansas crashed into a family’s car, injuring himself and three other people.

KCTV reports that the police chase started in Leavenworth County on Saturday morning when officers began pursuing the teen’s van.

Police have not said why the teen was being pursued.

Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said officers ended the chase, but the driver of the van continued to drive erratically. The teen’s van then hit a van carrying a Leavenworth family.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the teen was ejected from his vehicle and was hospitalized in Kansas City.

Two adults and a child in the van were also injured, while two other children in the van were not injured.

WAMEGO — A northeast Kansas school district is scrambling to accommodate a surprise enrollment surge that forced its school board to call an emergency session to hire another teacher.

The Manhattan Mercury reported the Wamego School District expected about 50 new students this year, but a preliminary count showed 96 new faces in its schools, including 20 more in kindergarten.

District Superintendent Denise O’Dea said she initially though the rise was due to an expansion of Caterpillar operations in town, but found out the company hasn’t started hiring for those jobs yet.

The district had 1,423 students last year, so the 96 new children represent a 6 percent increase. The senior class alone grew from 90 to 127 students this year.

Town Talk

I covered that old group for a while, and then for about two years I didn’t.

That’s because the old group went a full two years (by my memory) without meeting. And that was during a time when everybody was talking about how important economic development was.

So, clearly having a group doesn’t mean much. Having a group of people who are excited and passionate about economic development does. From all indications I’ve seen, there’s a group of people out there who are raring to go on the subject of economic development.

cent to $159,500.

The Douglas County appraiser’s office looks at a little bit broader set of statistics, but it is fair to say that office also is seeing a decline in home values. I’ve chatted with the appraiser and will bring you more on that in the coming days. ! If this housing rebound has you feeling so good that you are now ready to start a new business, there is a new group you can talk to.

As we reported, the Douglas County Commission approved the creation of a new Joint Economic Development Council. The county’s approval comes after city commissioners unanimously approved of the idea last Tuesday night.

I’ve already had some people ask me how they can become appointed to the new 12-member group. There are four positions on the board that are reserved for general community members. I’ve been telling folks the best way to express an interest in one of those positions is to contact either the Lawrence city manager’s office (832-3400) or the Douglas County administrator’s office (832-5268) to find out what paperwork you might need to fill out to be considered for an appointment. The City Commission and the County Commission each will appoint two members.

The president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce also gets to appoint two members of the business community. If you fit that bill, you might contact Chamber President Greg Williams to express your interest.

I think economic development leaders are excited to have the new group formed. It is structured to be an advisory group only.

It won’t have its own budget or checkbook to implement economic development initiatives. But it will make recommendations to the city, the county, the chamber and anybody else who will listen. I still think the group may evolve into something more as time passes because it seems more and more communities who are successful in economic development have an economic development board that has some real authority.

The city and the county have had an economic development advisory board before. In fact, it included many of the same stakeholders that will be part of this group. By stakeholders I mean positions, such as the president of the chamber, KU leadership and such. Many of the people in those positions are different from when the community last had an active economic development advisory board.

! Back in April we reported the unique not-forprofit retailer Ten Thousand Villages was set to open a store in downtown Lawrence. I’ve been getting a few questions lately if that is still the case.

Indeed it is. I’m expecting an announcement soon from the folks at Ten Thousand Villages to confirm which spot along Massachusetts Street they’ve chosen.

Word around town is that a couple of locations are the leading contenders. There is the space at 815 Mass., which used to be the formal wear shop next to Marks Jewelers.

Allison Vance Moore, a broker with Lawrence’s Colliers International, has confirmed to me she has a lease pending on that spot. Also, I saw workers in there Wednesday tearing out Sheetrock and doing other demo work.

The second spot is 835 Mass. Those of you who are connoisseurs of elderberry wine are probably saying to yourselves, “That’s where Wyldewood Cellars is.”

You are correct, elderberry lovers. And I will say something to you that no one ever says to me: You should have drunk more.

John Brewer, an owner of Wyldewood Cellars, said a closure of the downtown store may well be what happens, but he is holding out hope that it may not come to that. He said the store’s future kind of depends on the future ownership of the building.

Moore confirmed to me she has a contract pending on the entire building, which used to house Winfield House before it moved to its new location in the 600 block of Mass.

In other words, a new owner is on tap for the building, and it looks like a new business to lease the building may follow.

If that happens, Brewer said Wyldewood will have to make a change. Brewer said he isn’t sure whether the store would try to find another location in Lawrence. If the store does stay in Lawrence, it may well look outside of downtown, he said.

“It seems like the way downtown Lawrence does, its parking is a problem,” Brewer said.

He said he’ll also have to factor in whether it

challenging tasks, but they were good about mentoring and providing guidance. When I left, I just felt that I had really grown as a young professional,” Lo said.

Charlie Bryan, community health planner, oversees the internship program along with Marthaler.

They said most of the students come from Bryan Kansas University, but some come from other parts of the state and country. The students typically are earning credit hours to graduate, but a few volunteer. So far, they’ve had 16 interns.

makes more sense to run a Lawrence store or to take advantage of a new state law that allows wineries to now sell product at festivals. He said he participated in a recent festival in De Soto and sold more wine in one day than he typically sells in a week at the Lawrence store.

“There’s a lot of issues for us to think about,” Brewer said.

As for Ten Thousand Villages, if you have forgotten, the store will carry items grown or produced by artisans from small villages around the world. The shop will be heavy on items such as coffee, chocolate, home decor, art and other similar products.

The company has more than 350 stores across the country that all have a mission of promoting fair trade, which is the concept of selling products at a price that ensures the people who make or grow the products are a paid a fair wage and have safe working conditions.

The stores are unique because they are all not-forprofit. (Unfortunately there are lots of retailers who fall into the not-for-profit category these days, but Ten Thousand Villages actually does it by design.) A nonprofit board runs each store. The store in Overland Park has done so well that the board there agreed to use some of its excess earnings to provide seed money to get the new Lawrence store up and running. ! Ten Thousand Villag-

es is exciting, but 10,000 conventions would be great too. (Well, maybe not that many. If convention-goers found our elderberry wine stash, things might get too crazy.)

But the point is, more conventions in Lawrence would be a good thing, and it appears there is going to be a renewed emphasis placed on that at the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Ads are currently being run to recruit a new director of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. The new person will take over for Susan Henderson, who has been a part of the convention and visitors bureau staff for more than a decade.

Fred Conboy — the new leader of Destination Management Inc., which is the management group for both the CVB and the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area — said Henderson decided to cut back on her work schedule to spend more time with family and such.

“At first I wouldn’t accept the resignation,” Conboy said. “We’re sorry to lose someone as experienced as Susan. She’s been on the staff for 11 years.

But this gives us a chance to reset and look at our goals.”

Conboy said he hopes to fill the position with someone who can be very active on the front lines of convention sales. Conboy

an employer-based wellness program or in a clinical setting, for example, we win because these new workers go to those jobs with greater knowledge of how local public health impacts the entire community.”

Last spring, two interns worked on getting Douglas County residents to fill out the health department’s Community Concerns Survey, which was used to set health priorities. The health department had hoped residents would participate in an online survey, but the response was much lower than expected. So, the interns dropped off paper forms at locations throughout the community and then collected about 500 of them and entered the data.

“That was a pretty big project that made a big contribution to the agency and the community,” Bryan said.

department, and they take the training required to become an emergency responder. Then, the students can pick what areas they would like to work in.

Last week, five interns sat around a table and listened to Kim Ens talk about the department’s clinical services, which range from HIV testing to family planning.

Stephanie Dawson said she’s leaning toward a career in epidemiology but is leaving her options open.

“The first lady has a huge child obesity thing going on and everyone’s realizing that we have to make some big changes in health,” Dawson said.

“The Affordable Care Act

is a big deal right now. So, it is an interesting field.”

The other interns said they were interested in working in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, nursing and emergency preparedness.

Marthaler said the health department is committed to growing the next generation of public health workers because two-thirds of the country’s local health department leaders are older than age 50.

said Lawrence has a good reputation as a market for day-trip visitors, but he said his office needs to help create more overnight visitors, who pay the transient guest taxes that are a major funding stream for tourism-related initiatives.

Conboy will take applications for the position through the end of the month, and hopes to have the spot filled within 30 days. He said the new leader will need to be someone who can really evaluate the current meeting room and hotel space that the city has to offer, and match that with the appropriate type of conventions and events.

The position also will need to recognize just how competitive the convention market has become in this part of the state.

“Kansas City continues to build destination properties for meetings and conventions,” Conboy said. “And the Legends area has become increasingly attractive for some visitors to stay overnight, even if they primarily are visiting Lawrence. I heard there were several

families in town for commencement who stayed at the Legends. The tough competition in the area is really the No. 1 issue for us to address.”

Henderson’s last day was Friday. Conboy said she will continue to do some consulting work for the CVB on a part-time basis.

KEY WEST, FLA. — Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred Florida Keys residents from their fabled nonchalance Sunday, while the Gulf Coast braced for the possibility that the sprawling storm will strengthen into a dangerous hurricane by the time it makes landfall there.

It was on course to strike land on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a powerful storm that crippled New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and became a symbol of government ineptitude.

Forecasters expected Isaac to pass the Keys late Sunday before turning northwest and striking as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere between New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday.

The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning for a large swath of the northern Gulf Coast from east of Morgan City, La., which includes the New Orleans area, to Destin, Fla. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of between 96 and 110 mph.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called a state of emergency, and officials in St. Charles Parish near New Orleans told its 53,000 residents to leave ahead of the storm. Jindal also said he may skip a speaking engagement later this week at the Republican National Convention in Tampa unless the threat to his state subsides.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has canceled his trip to the convention because of Isaac, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott also gave up his speaking engagement.

A PERSON BRAVES THE RAIN at Clarence Higgs Beach in Key West, Fla., as Tropical Storm Isaac hits the area on Sunday. Isaac gained fresh muscle Sunday as it bore down on the Florida Keys, with forecasters warning it could grow into a dangerous Category 2 hurricane as it nears the northern Gulf Coast. toward tropical storms has heightened in the seven years since Katrina struck.

Criticism was leveled at officials reaching all the way to the White House over what was seen as the federal government’s slow and bungled response to the storm that killed 1,800.

An emergency declaration was also issued in Mississippi by Gov. Phil Bryant amid concerns of storm surge threatening low-lying areas.

Oil companies began evacuating workers from offshore oil rigs and cutting production in advance of Isaac.

Even before reaching hurricane strength, Isaac caused considerable inconvenience, with more than 550 flights canceled at Miami International Airport and about 150 from Fort Lauderdale’s airport.

The small business owner also remembers when white supremacists bombed a gay church in Springfield, bomb-sniffing dogs and metal detectors were used at the local university for a play about a gay Jewish activist and the school’s president refused to add sexual orientation to Southwest Missouri State University’s nondiscrimination policy.

As the elected leaders in the city of 160,000 debate whether to prohibit discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Doenning and other activists are optimistic. They also know legal protections are anything but assured in a city that’s home to the national headquarters of the Assemblies of God Church and three Bible colleges.

Across the heartland, from regional economic hubs in southwest Missouri such as Springfield to the Kansas plains and Nebraska college towns, the battle for gay rights is playing out in city halls and town squares, often with opponents of expanded nondiscrimination laws trying to reverse decisions by government officials.

“Places like Springfield, Missouri, are the trenches of this battle right now,” said Doenning.

Romney balancing convention, storm

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

TAMPA, FLA. — With Tropical Storm Isaac bearing down on the Gulf Coast, Republicans left open the possibility of bigger changes to Mitt Romney’s a l r e a d y - Romney shortened convention, mindful of political awkwardness in celebrating while severe weather threatens New Orleans on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

“There’s a weather event. We all know there’s a weather event there,” Russ Schriefer, Romney’s chief planner, said Sunday

when asked about a potential image problem. “We’re obviously monitoring what is going on with the weather. Our concern is with those people in the path of the storm.”

The decision about what to do next is fraught with political peril.

Romney is trying to balance celebrating his presidential nomination with being mindful of the ghost of Hurricane Katrina and the stain George W. Bush’s handling of it left on the GOP. The tropical storm, which seemed likely to be upgraded to a hurricane, could strike the Gulf Coast nearly to the day of the seventh anniversary of Katrina.

After scrapping the convention’s first day, planners late Sunday an-

nounced a three-day program and leaner agenda.

But they wouldn’t speculate whether the storm would force a second postponement or any additional changes.

“We’re moving forward, but we are going to be nimble,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said.

The next few days will test Romney’s ability to both present himself to the American people as a plausible alternative to President Barack Obama and to lead a party still smarting from the image hit it took in the aftermath of the 2005 Gulf Coast devastation.

Since then, Republicans have been so sensitive to the political danger

around hurricanes — and the appearance of partying at a time of trouble — that they delayed the start of their national convention by a day in 2008 when Hurricane Gustav bore down on the Gulf, a full 1,200 miles away from where delegates were gathering in St. Paul, Minn.

Four years later, a storm again has delayed the start of the convention — and again is barreling toward New Orleans, the city that Katrina so badly damaged.

“You don’t want to be having hoopla and dancing when you have the nation focused on tragedy and suffering,” said Al Hoffman, a Republican from West Palm Beach and former finance chairman of the RNC.

Pediatricians: Circumcision benefits outweigh risks CHICAGO — The nation’s most influential pediatricians group says the health benefits of circumcision in newborn boys outweigh any risks and insurance companies should pay for it.

In its latest policy statement on circumcision, a procedure that has been declining nationwide, the American Academy of Pediatrics moves closer to an endorsement but says the decision should be up to parents.

“It’s not a verdict from on high,” said policy co-author

KIEF’S

cil member Doug Burlison, who favors the change.

To force a vote, opponents in Springfield would need to collect just 2,101 valid signatures in 30 days. One council member has said he already plans to call for a public vote.

In 1994, city voters handily rejected a hate crimes law that had been passed by the City Council and was brought to voters in a petition drive. Groups opposed to the ordinance subsequently targeted council members who had supported the law.

Nearly two decades later, organizers say Springfield is overdue for basic legal protections for gays and lesbians. They point to the Missouri college town of Columbia, which has had such enhanced protection in its nondiscrimination ordinance for years; as well as other cities of comparable size and characteristics, including Evansville, Ind.; Columbus, Ohio; Columbia, S.C.; and Grand Rapids, Mich.

“If we had the majority voting on minority issues (all the time), we still would not see women with the right to vote, we would not have African-Americans voting,” said Stephanie Perkins, deputy director of PROMO, a statewide gay advocacy group.

Nebraska Family Council quickly collected more than 10,000 signatures challenging a “fairness amendment” approved by the City Council in May, forcing the city to either let the ordinance die or submit it for voter approval.

No decision was reached before the deadline for the November ballot.

Omaha, the state’s largest city, narrowly passed an ordinance in March extending legal protections to gay and transgender residents after a tie vote scuttled a similar attempt in October 2010.

In the Kansas towns of Salina and Hutchinson, opponents of expanded nondiscrimination laws have collected enough signatures to force public votes after similar recent decisions by their city leaders.

Something similar could happen in Springfield, where the City Council is meeting today.

A public hearing earlier this month drew hundreds of residents, with most speakers approving of the change. But the eight council members and Mayor Bob Stephens — five of whom, including the mayor, face re-election in April 2013 — are hearing rumblings that their support could have political consequences, said coun-

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Convention has estimated circumcision costs range from about $200 to $600 nationwide.

The new policy was published online today in Pediatrics. It comes amid ongoing debate over whether circumcision is medically necessary or a cosmetic procedure that critics say amounts to genital mutilation.

Poll: Raise taxes to save Social Security

By Jennifer Agiesta and Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Most Americans say go ahead and raise taxes if it will save Social Security benefits for future generations.

And raise the retirement age, if you have to.

Both options are preferable to cutting monthly benefits, even for people who are years away from applying for them.

Those are the findings of a new Associated PressGfK poll on public attitudes toward the nation’s largest federal program.

Social Security is facing serious long-term financial problems. When given a choice on how to fix them, 53 percent of adults said they would rather raise taxes than cut benefits for future generations, according to the poll. Just 36 percent said they would cut benefits instead.

The results were similar when people were asked whether they would rather raise the retirement age or cut monthly payments for future generations — 53 percent said they would raise the retirement age, while 35 percent said they would cut monthly payments.

“Right now, it seems like we’re taxed so much, but if that would be the only way to go, I guess I’d have to be for it to preserve it,” said Marge Youngs, a

77-year-old widow from Toledo. “It’s extremely important to me. It’s most of my income.”

Social Security is being hit by a wave of millions of retiring baby boomers, leaving relatively fewer workers to pay into the system. The trustees who oversee the massive retirement and disability program say Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money in 2033. At that point, Social Security will only collect enough tax revenue to pay 75 percent of benefits, unless Congress acts.

Lawmakers from both political parties say there is a good chance Congress will address Social Security in the next year or two — if the White House takes the lead. Yet so far, Social Security has not played a big role in the presidential election.

In previous polls, Democrats have typically scored better than Republicans on handling Social Security.

But the AP-GfK poll shows Americans are closely divided on which presidential candidate they trust to handle the issue.

Forty-seven percent said they trust President Barack Obama to do a better job on Social Security, and 44 percent said they trust his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney. The difference is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.

Afghanistan officials say leader of Haqqani network is dead

By Heidi Vogt and Rahim Faiez Associated Press

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The son of the founder of the powerful Haqqani network was been killed in an airstrike in Pakistan, Afghanistan’s intelligence agency said Sunday, providing the first public confirmation of rumors that have been swirling for days about the key member of a militant group the U.S. considers one of the most dangerous in the region.

The Taliban rejected reports of Badruddin Haqqani’s death, however, saying that he was alive and well in Afghanistan.

Haqqani’s death would be a serious blow to the organization founded by his father, Jalaluddin Haqqani.

The group, which has ties to both the Taliban and al-Qaida, has been blamed for a series of high-profile attacks and kidnappings in Afghanistan, particularly in and around the capital city of Kabul, and poses perhaps the biggest threat to stability in the country.

Shafiqullah Tahiri, the spokesman for Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security intelligence agency, said Haqqani was killed last week in an airstrike in Pakistan. He did not provide any further

details and would not say what information the agency’s operatives were basing their conclusion on.

U.S. officials have declined comment on the reports.

But Tahiri’s account is similar to one provided Saturday by a senior Taliban leader who said Haqqani was killed in a drone strike. It also hews closely to a version provided by Pakistani officials who said Saturday that they were 90 percent sure the militant commander was killed in a missile attack Tuesday in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford confirmed Sunday he is engaged to the Argentine woman he secretly left the state to visit under the cover story he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Sanford said a statement announcing his engagement provided to CNN is accurate.

“The only comment I’ll stand by is that there was a statement sent to CNN, and I stand by its accuracy. I don’t know anything beyond that,” Sanford told The Associated Press on Sunday. “I’d love, to talk but we’re going to end up in no-man’s land.”

By Jamal Halaby

AMMAN — Dozens of bloodied bodies were buried Sunday in mass graves in a Damascus suburb where activists claim more than 300 people have been killed over the past week in a major government offensive to take back control of rebel-held areas in and around the capital.

The British-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 32 more dead bodies were found in the streets of Daraya on Sunday and that they had been killed by “gunfire and summary executions.”

Among them were three women and two children, the group said. It put the toll for the past week as at least 320.

Another activist group, the Local Coordination Committees, claimed 300 bodies were discovered Saturday in Daraya, and 633 people have been killed there since the government launched its assault last Assad week.

President Bashar Assad, in comments carried by state media, reiterated his long-standing claim that a foreign plot was behind the uprising against his rule and said he would not allow it to succeed “whatever the price might be.”

Britain’s minister for Middle East affairs, Alistair Burt, meanwhile, said if confirmed, the massacre “would be an atrocity on a new scale requiring unequivocal condemnation from the entire international community.” He added that it “highlights the urgent need for international action to bring an end to the violence, end this culture of impunity and hold to account those responsible for these terrible acts.”

Burt said he had discussed the killings with U.N. and Arab League Joint Special Representative for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.

Reporters were told he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Conventions serve little purpose

EDITORIALS

End is near?

Kansas taxpayers have reason to hope that the opening of the Capitol rotunda next month marks the beginning of the end for the costly Statehouse renovation project.

I

f you’re going to be in Topeka next month, you might stop in the Kansas Capitol building to get a look at how some of your hard-earned tax dollars were spent by state lawmakers.

The first week in September, construction workers are scheduled to start removing the temporary walls that have closed the rotunda of the Kansas Statehouse off from the public since 2008.

State Architect Barry Greis said the crews will start on the fifth floor and work their way down; the last of the temporary walls should be down by Sept. 21.

Work on the rotunda was part of the overall renovation of the Capitol, the total cost of which is expected to reach at least $391 million. For that amount of money, we certainly hope the newly unveiled rotunda will be beautiful sight to behold. Be sure to notice the new chandelier, which reportedly cost $296,000, hanging from the Capitol dome.

The longer this project has gone, the more it has cost state taxpayers.

The best news about the rotunda unveiling is that it indicates the interior renovation of the Capitol is nearing completion. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the roof of the Capitol dome, which is undergoing about $20 million in repairs to its copper shell and underlying wood structure.

Of course, it makes no sense, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the Statehouse renovation, to allow it to be damaged by a leaking roof, but that’s the kind of thinking that has turned what initially was envisioned as a $90 million renovation into one that cost closer to $400 million.

Legislative leaders who have approved the ever-growing list of expenditures even amid tough economic times across Kansas and the nation have continued to insist that state taxpayers will think their money was well-spent once they see the end results. Based on the tremendously successful renovation work done in the Senate and House chambers, there is reason to believe the restoration of the rotunda will be equally stunning.

The Kansas Statehouse is likely to become a popular tourist attraction, receiving national attention for its beauty and historic preservation, along with the excellence of the craftsmen who designed, engineered and completed the renovation — as costly as it was.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 27, 1912: “Lawrence autoists are planning to attend the first annual YEARS convention of the Kansas State AGO Automobile Association in TopeIN 1912 ka, September 12. ... It is expected that about thirty Lawrence cars will make the trip, spend the day in Topeka and take part in the monster auto parade.”

“The fire department was called last night to put out an automobile that had misbehaved itself in North Lawrence. The Fein truck was standing in the street near 334 Elm street and leaked considerable oil and gasoline onto the ground beneath the car. In some manner this took fire and the flames spread to the car and threatened to destroy it. The fire was out after but very little damage had been done.”

In only a few hours the circus becomes a carnival. Two presidential nominees whose identities have been known for months, along with running mates whose names will be no mystery, already are streaming into Southern cities for sweet tea and the sweet serenades of the faithful.

We call it a national political convention. I call it a waste of time and money.

This of course is treason to my tribe, political writers who love these quadrennial assemblies. And in truth, I enjoyed them in my years as a political correspondent, a time when the phrase “social media” meant the openingnight press party, which, by the way, usually was full of twits, not tweets.

But not one decision of consequence was made in the 11 conventions I covered, though plenty of good meals were consumed, especially in Chicago, host to 26 of them, including Theodore Roosevelt’s Bull Moose convention 100 years ago this month. My guess is that the same will occur in Tampa this week, where massive quantities of the regional classic Sopa de Garbanzo will be gulped down.

Important speeches But before I launch into my quadrennial ritual, arguing that the conventional convention needs to be overhauled if not junked, let me concede that modern conventions did have some important moments, though they were mostly speeches by people who were not, not yet, or no longer candidates for president.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s 1980 vow that “the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die” remains one of the great rallying cries of liberalism. Gov. Mario M. Cuomo’s 1984 exhortation that America was more a “Tale of Two Cities” than a “Shining City on a Hill” is an expression of conscience that haunts us still. Barack Obama’s 2004

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

But increasingly these events have become television shows, and not particularly riveting ones.”

statement that “there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America” helped catapult him to the presidency. And Gov. Sarah Palin’s 2008 trumpet summons to conservatism still echoes across the country.

But these are just a few moments — in truth, just a few sentences — in a cascade of words and showmanship that these events produce every political cycle. That’s not counting Barry Goldwater’s “extremism in the defense of liberty” remark in 1964, which pretty much ended his campaign right there in San Francisco’s old Cow Palace.

The original purpose of conventions was to nominate a president, construct a platform, provide a forum for the faithful to meet, exchange views, and send the party nominee off to the general election on an emotional and rhetorical high.

Just TV shows But increasingly these events have become television shows, and not particularly riveting ones. Because this year’s nominees are especially accomplished control freaks, don’t expect any spontaneity — and (caveat emptor) be suspicious that any outburst of spontaneity you see on the platform is itself scripted. Yes, they are that cynical.

I’m trying to think of an ac-

tual moment of suspense at a modern political convention, and I’ve come up with only two, both momentous in 1980 but barely historical asterisks today: Would Ronald Reagan invite former President Gerald R. Ford to join him on the GOP ticket as kind of a co-president? Would, a few weeks later, Ted Kennedy, defeated in his challenge of a sitting president, hold his hand aloft with President Jimmy Carter after the latter’s acceptance speech?

The truth is that there has been more mystery in the last 32 days of the National League Central Division race than there has been in the last 32 years of national political conventions. The only attraction for this week: Rep. Paul Ryan’s national television debut.

There used to be drama There was a time, of course, when a political convention was the very opposite of what we will see the Republicans do this week and the Democrats next week. It was only 60 years ago that a party gathered with no real idea of its nominee and eventually needed more than one ballot to decide.

But hold it: I actually just typed, without apparent shame, the phrase “only 60 years ago,” in reference to the three ballots it required the Democrats to deliver their 1952 presidential nomination to Adlai Stevenson.

What other institution besides American politics has made a meaningless process the centerpiece of its activity for six decades?

To be sure, presidential candidates have used national political conventions to introduce big concepts. Franklin D. Roosevelt did that in 1932 with the New Deal, and John F. Kennedy did it in 1960 with the New Frontier. That was 80 years ago and 52 years ago, respectively. Is Ford still selling the Model B? Is General Motors still pushing the Chevrolet Bel Air four-door sedan?

The bureaucrats need to release their stranglehold on the conventions and to recognize that the portraits in faux unity that these events project alienate rather than allure viewers.

(They need, too, to answer one of the fundamental, enduring questions in American politics: Why do people wear stupid hats at conventions?)

Ritual has value That said, there may be some redeeming features of these events, and one of them is a fast-disappearing feature of American life: the ritual.

“Individuals have always used ceremonies to mark significant passages in their lives: christenings, bar mitzvahs, graduations, weddings, funerals,” the Columbia University historian Alan Brinkley wrote in an essay about the meaning of political conventions. “Nations need ceremonies to mark the course of their lives too.

And conventions are among the few ceremonies Americans have ever had (perhaps the only one they have now) to celebrate the process of politics and to make it seem an activity worthy of attention and concern.”

Fair enough. The convention remains part of our politics because there always is the chance that no candidate will be the clear winner of the primary and caucus process and a means of adjudicating an impasse may be necessary. And an acceptance speech is one of the established set pieces of American democracy, a chance (almost always foregone, but a chance nonetheless) to shape the American conversation.

Those may be enough to make the political convention deserve to survive. But if these conventions are worth salvaging, then surely they are worth changing. The year 2016 would be a good time to start. Happy days will then be here again.

Akin’s gaffe is part of broader pattern Rep. Todd Akin’s fame — more accurately, his infamy — now reaches all the way to the Congo.

There, Eve Ensler, the award-winning American author of “The Vagina Monologues” and herself a survivor of rape, wrote an open letter castigating last week’s suggestion by the Republican congressman that when a woman is a victim of “legitimate rape,” her body has

In his antipathy to abortion and his childish grasp of reproductive science, Akin personifies much of the GOP, increasingly an extremist sect from which moderation has been banished.”

means of preventing pregnancy. As it happens, Ensler is in the Congo working to help some of the thousands of women raped in the fighting there. She called Akin’s words “ignorant.”

Nor is hers the only voice of international opprobrium. Criticism of the Missouri lawmaker has rung from such far points as London (“shamefully inaccurate”), Belfast (“profoundly offensive”) and Paris (“medieval”). A writer in Australia dubbed Akin a “boofhead” — apparently, not a compliment.

All this, plus domestic denunciation, including sharp criticisms from his own party.

Akin, make no mistake, richly earned every ounce of contempt that now rains upon his head. What he told KTVI-TV, the Fox affiliate in. St. Louis, manages to combine repulsiveness (“Legitimate rape?’’ As opposed, one supposes, to the rapes where “she brought it on herself?”) and remarkable ignorance (Does he really think the uterus is equipped with a force field?) into one appallingly malodorous ball of stupid.

Naturally, given his grasp of biology, Akin sits on the House Science Committee.

Yes, you read right. You can’t make this stuff up.

Still, this is not about one congressman’s need for sensitivity training and remedial science. Akin is hardly unique, after all. To the contrary, he is just the latest vivid example of conservatism’s unrelenting hostility toward women’s reproductive rights — as in a Texas judge who just upheld the state’s ban on Planned Parenthood. Indeed, even as this controversy was simmering, the GOP unveiled a proposed platform plank calling for a constitutional

amendment that would ban abortion with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest.

It’s a plank Akin himself could have written.

But he is emblematic of more than hard-core opposition to abortion. In him, one also senses the juvenile discomfort with which some male conservatives are afflicted at the merest suggestion of female sexuality.

Think then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, piously covering the breasts of the “Spirit of Justice” statue at the Department of Justice. Think thenRep. Tom Coburn decrying the “full frontal nudity” of a movie broadcast on television — the movie being “Schindler’s List,” the nudes being doomed European Jews. Think Republicans banning Rep. Lisa Brown from the Michigan statehouse for using the word “vagina” — as opposed, perhaps, to “lady parts,” “third base” or “tunnel of love.”

Think Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a slut because she has, presumably, on occasion had sex.

It’s the kind of behavior one associates with a locker room full of adolescent boys,

waiting for their faces to clear up and their voices to change. But these are men.

Worse, they are men who are judged competent to make, interpret or influence laws impacting the most intimate decisions a woman can make.

Including, for example, whether she must have a probe stuck up her “lady parts” before being allowed to terminate a pregnancy.

The temptation is to view Akin’s gaffe in isolation. But there is a pattern here. In his antipathy to abortion and his childish grasp of reproductive science, Akin personifies much of the GOP, increasingly an extremist sect from which moderation has been banished.

He has said he just “misspoke,” but that is disingenuous, as is, frankly, much of the criticism from within his party. Their problem and his is not that he misspoke.

It’s that he spoke all too clearly.

Senior Whitney Berry had a goal and two assists, and senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau recorded her secondstraight shutout as Kansas University blanked UNLV, 3-0, in nonconference soccer on Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

After a relatively quiet opening three matches, Berry had a hand in each of the Jayhawks’ goals. The Wichita native opened the KU scoring in the 33rd minute of the first period, launching a bending shot from 18 yards out that snuck past the UNLV goalkeeper in the topleft corner of the goal.

The score was the first of the season for Berry and 18th of her collegiate career.

Sophomore Jamie Fletcher collected her first assist of the season.

Just 11 minutes into the second half, Berry returned the favor to Fletcher. The senior struck a corner kick into the box that Fletcher redirected into the net with her head, beating two defenders to the ball. Fletcher’s goal was her first of the season and marked the eighth time she has found the net as a Jayhawk.

Berry again found herself on the front end of a Kansas goal late. She started a break down-field with a through ball to a streaking Courtney Dickerson in the 84th minute to help KU put the match away. Dickerson flicked in her first career goal, becoming the fifth Jayhawk to score a goal this season.

Safety’s career comes full circle

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There are a dozen different ways to describe Kansas University safety Lubbock Smith.

Tough, rough and tenacious characterize his play.

Focused, friendly and funloving convey his demeanor.

And then there are more specific terms such as “member of The Sporting News’ freshman All-Big 12 team,” or “honorable mention freshman All-American.” The last two tags came following the 2009 season, when Smith started as a red-shirt freshman and was among the team’s leading tacklers before an injury cost him the season finale.

Since then, it has been quite a ride for Smith, who has gone from the top of the world at 5-0 and ranked in the Top 25 in 2009 to two new coaches and too much time on the bench.

Through it all, though, KU by Turner Gill wanted to start assistant coach Clint Bowen someone else in what had — who recruited Smith out been his spot, he did not unof high school — has come up derstand why.

“To be honest, I really didn’t know what to expect,” he said.

“I just knew that I had to accept my role on the team and just do the very best that I could. I did the most I could. I came in and watched more plays, watched more film, everything.”

If he hadn’t, he might not be where he is today.

Smith is not the only player on the KU roster who had fallen out of favor with the previous coaching staff only to be elevated to starter again by first-year coach Charlie Weis and his crew this season.

Junior linebacker Huldon Tharp has traveled the same road, and a couple of others have stared at the same kind of scenery.

Smith still remembers how he felt when he saw the first spring depth chart with his name listed No. 1 at strong safety.

It’s a marriage made in … Hilton Head KU assistant, Firekeeper instructor met at golf academy

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Heritage Academy in Hilton Head, S.C., is listed as a previous school for three Kansas University golfers, including two on the women’s team.

It’s not difficult to trace the connection to the school where world-renowned Hank Haney heads the golf instruction and students partake in an academic year that stretches from mid-August through the end of May. Katy Nahm is the KU women’s golf assistant coach, and her husband, Josh Nahm, gives instruction at

Firekeeper in Mayetta. The Nahms met while working for Haney at the academy in Hilton Head.

Naturally, they now spend all of their free time golfing with each other, right?

Wrong.

“We don’t play together,” said Katy, 27. “We’re too competitive.”

Josh, 32, estimated they have played together “five times maybe.”

Josh has instructed all three players from Haney’s academy now golfing for KU: sophomore Stan Gautier of Paris and a transfer from Arizona State; freshman Ann-Kathrin Wuensch from

Herrenberg, Germany; and red-shirt freshman Carly Humes from The Woodlands, Texas.

Katy was in charge of college placement for students at the academy, and Josh was an instructor when they met three years ago. The connections they made there already have upgraded both KU golf teams.

“We still know some of the instructors, keep in touch,” said Katy, who is recruiting a couple of current students.

Watney earns timely win at Barclays FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nick Watney salvaged a dismal season Sunday at The Barclays with a victory that could not have come at a better time.

Watney turned a two-shot deficit against Sergio Garcia into a three-shot lead in a decisive four-hole stretch around the turn at Bethpage Black, and no one got closer than two shots the rest of the way. Watney made a 10foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 2-under 69 Watney to capture the opening playoff event for the FedEx Cup. He wound up winning by three shots over Brandt Snedeker, who birdied the last hole for a 70. Garcia made bogey on the 18th for a 75.

The win means Watney goes

to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings and is assured a shot at the $10 million prize at the Tour Championship next month. Perhaps more importantly, it could be a big step toward an event that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay anything at all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Ryder Cup. Winning against one of the strongest fields of the year at least puts him in the conversation to be one of four captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picks for the Sept. 28-30 matches at Medinah. Davis Love III will announce his choices after next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff event outside Boston.

Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk are likely to be two of those picks, and the other two are suddenly wide-open.

Snedeker, already under consideration, battled to the end on a warm day on Long Island. He made a 15-foot par putt on the 17th hole and closed with a birdie to be alone in second place.

Complicating matters for Love is

that Dustin Johnson shot 68 and tied for third, along with Garcia.

Watney, who won for the fifth time in his career, finished on 10-under 278.

In what amounted to a duel with Garcia for so much of the day, Watney fell two shots behind after he three-putted for bogey on the fifth hole and Garcia made a 40-footer for birdie on the next hole. Garcia, going for his second straight PGA Tour win, never had much of a chance after that.

Watney two-putted for birdie on the seventh. On the par-3 eighth, Garcia scrambled for bogey from the bunker, while Watney holed a bending, 30foot birdie putt to take his first lead of the day. Another twoshot swing followed on the 10th, when Garcia three-putted and Watney hit a beautiful approach to 4 feet for birdie.

Both were sloppy on the back nine, but Watney hit all the right

Tennis still debating best-of-3 for Slams

Ko, 15, LPGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest champ with Canadian win

Newsday

Not so much rumpus as rumination, the idea of a more compact best-of-three-sets format in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Slam tennis was volleyed around a bit this summer (to no clear conclusion).

This potential heresy resulted from the good show provided by the Olympic tournament, where only the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final used the best-of-five arrangement employed throughout the four annual major events.

In the midst of that keen Olympic competition, the influential Patrick McEnroe, who serves as the U.S. Tennis Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player development chief, sent out this tweet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to admit watching best 2 of 3 in Olympics makes me wonder about going that route ALWAYS. Tension is palpable & best players winning.â&#x20AC;?

Boom. Another made-toorder sports debate. Discuss: This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic venue, Wimbledon, added a gravitas to the Gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tournament, similar to Slams status. But the single-week Olympic run really mirrors all those non-Slams on the calendar. In half the time frame of a major, best-of-five matches might have amounted to a lethal dose of tennis.

But, really? Best-of-three at the U.S. Open? Wimbledon?

French and Australian Opens? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No problem,â&#x20AC;? seven-time major champion Roger Federer said of the proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then, we should shorten the Slams (to one week). We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them a two-week event, because then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a holidayâ&#x20AC;? to play every other day.

The sport, its athletes and officials agree, has become fiendishly laborious. Chronic injuries to 11-time major champ Rafael Nadal represent the handiest example of how the sport can beat up its best practitioners.

Still, the bonus of less physical taxation in best-of-three matches, reigning Open champion Novak Djokovic said, is offset by â&#x20AC;&#x153;the traditionâ&#x20AC;? to play best-offive at the majors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we all try to respect the tradition.â&#x20AC;?

At the Olympics, the best-ofthree early rounds may have been a boost toward Andy Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold-medal victory, and he may be 0-for-4 in major finals so far, yet he prefers the industrialstrength test of the majors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In best-of-three,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you need to be very quick and agile, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to have great endurance. That is one of the added benefits of the best-of-five set matches. You get to see that extra mental effort and physical effort from off the court.â&#x20AC;?

Settled, then?

Blake bests Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara at Boeing SNOQUALMIE, WASH. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jay Don Blake won the Boeing Classic on Sunday for his third Champions Tour title, beating Mark Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff.

Playing the par-5 18th hole for the third time in less than an hour, Blake tapped in for birdie after Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mearaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-foot birdie attempt missed on the low side of the hole. Blake and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara also birdied the hole in regulation for matching 4-under 68s that left them tied at 10-under 206.

Former Jayhawk falls in playoff EDMOND, OKLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Kansas University golfer Chris Thompson took second place at the Oklahoma Open on Sunday after losing a playoff to Matt VanCleave at the Oak Tree Country Club East Course.

Indy trades for Miami CB Davis INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Indianapolis Colts may have plugged their biggest hole on defense by trading two undisclosed draft picks to Miami on Sunday for cornerback Vontae Davis.

Indy has been desperately looking for a second starting cornerback, and Davis fits the bill.

The Dolphins took Davis with the No. 25 overall pick in 2009. In 44 career games, he has 148 tackles and nine interceptions.

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD LYDIA KO, OF NEW ZEALAND, HOLDS UP THE TROPHY after winning the CN Canadian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open on Sunday at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The 38-year-old posted a message on his Twitter account Sunday morning that he had been released, and the Seahawks made the move official later in the afternoon.

Owens signed a one-year deal with Seattle on Aug. 7, following a sterling workout that had coaches and Seahawks staff raving about how good he looked for having not played an NFL game in more than 18 months.

Report: Bills to trade for QB BUFFALO, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with discussions has told the Associated Press that the Buffalo Bills have tentatively agreed to acquire quarterback Tarvaris Jackson in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks.

Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future was in question with the Seahawks, after the team acquired Matt Flynn in free agency this offseason, and after using a third-round pick to draft Russell Wilson in April.

KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Future Jayhawks solid in showcase

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Future Kansas University basketball players Brannen Greene and Conner Frankamp scored 13 and five points respectively in helping the Raymond Lewis squad defeat the Marques Johnson squad, 164-138, in Saturday’s Under Armour Elite 24 all-star game in Venice Beach, Calif.

Greene, a 6-foot-7 senior small forward from Tift County High in Forsyth, Ga., hit six of 10 shots and one of two free throws. He added four rebounds, two assists and a turnover in 13 minutes. He

is ranked No. 31 in the recruiting Class of 2013 by Rivals.com.

Frankamp, a 6-foot senior guard from Wichita North, hit one of seven shots and three of three free throws. Rivals.com’s No. 28-ranked player missed three three-pointers and had two assists, no turnovers and one rebound in 15 minutes.

Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon, who have KU on their list of schools, had 27 and 25 points respectively for the winners. Randle, a 6-9 senior from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, who is ranked No. 2 overall, hit 13 of 14 shots. He had three

rebounds. Gordon, a 6-8 senior from Archbishop Mitty in San Jose, Calif., who is ranked No. 5 nationally, hit 12 of 18 shots.

He had seven rebounds.

Gordon told ESPN.com that he will visit KU, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Kentucky and make an unofficial visit to Cal. Randle won the slamdunk competition and Frankamp the three-point shooting contest Friday.

“It was fun out here and with this great setting it was a good time,” Frankamp told SLAM Magazine, referring to winning the three-point contest on an outdoor

court. He credited his daily shooting routine that consists of 300-400 makes.

“It’s all different types of shots, not just threes,” he told SLAM. “I can usually get done pretty quick, about 30 minutes.”

Of choosing KU, Frankamp said: “It was always my dream to go to Kansas, I guess you can say. I can’t wait to get there. Kirk Hinrich is probably my favorite player to come through KU; he was sweet.”

Kamara scores both Smith in Sporting’s 1-1 draw

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — Sporting Kansas City’s Kei Kamara delivered on a brilliant header in the opening minutes Sunday night and then gave it back with an own-goal moments later for the only scoring in a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls.

Kamara’s goal was his fifth in the past 10 MLS games for Sporting KC (14-7-5), which remains just ahead of New York

in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Red Bulls (13-7-6) played without forward Thierry Henry, whose wife gave birth to a son Friday, and they sorely lacked his offense. New York managed only three shots and none on goal.

It was the first of three games that the conference contenders will play over the next two months, and the only one in Kansas City.

occasions, he had hoped to work with him at Alvamar, but since Drew Cote does all the instruction there, Nahm wasn’t able to give lessons to Gautier there. Somebody recommended he call former Alvamar pro Randy Towner at Firekeeper.

“I asked him if he had any experience, and he said, ‘I worked with Hank Haney for six years.’ I guess that’s pretty good,” Towner said Sunday, after firing a 72 at Swope Park in Kansas City in the first day of two-day qualifying for the senior club pro championship. “Good guy, good fit, awesome teacher. I’ve learned tons from him.”

Josh works with several players on mini-tours, but also knows how to reach high-handicappers.

KU outshot the Rebels 23-9, with a 15-4 advantage in the second period. The Jayhawks also put nine shots on net compared to just four from the visitors from Las Vegas.

Five Jayhawks were announced to the Kansas Invitational All-Tournament team, including Berry and Liebetrau, who were named the offensive and defensive MVPs, respectively.

Jayhawks joining them on the all-tournament team were Fletcher, junior forward Caroline Kastor and junior defender Madi Hillis.

er is what he is,” Towner said.

During a recent session at the Firekeeper range that’s decorated with wooden rocking chairs, Nahm watched a skill-challenged golfer use a 7-iron to hit a ball that didn’t get very far off the ground and took a sharp right turn about 120 yards right.

“We’ll get you hitting high draws in five minutes,” Nahm said.

He delivered on his promise. Many a golfer, though, will say he or she can only hit good shots when an instructor is standing nearby.

“They don’t understand their swing enough to fix it yet,” Nahm said. “People say that all the time to me.”

He has a standard response.

“Come back for more lessons,” he said with a smile.

“Keep paying me. We’ll get you there. The more they understand their swing and what happens in it, the better they can self-correct.

Start at Point A, keep go-

“It was very encouraging and uplifting,” he said, his eyes brightening and posture straightening. “I just felt like my hard work paid off. I didn’t feel like it was given to me at all, because I did have to work for where I was at. It gave me the confidence that I need.”

Since then … well, Smith tells that story, too.

“Since then, I haven’t taken a day off whatsoever,” he said. “With the coaches we have, you can never take a day off.”

Smith likes that, though.

Remember, he’s a worker.

And putting in effort the past eight months has paid off big-time.

“The coaching has definitely strengthened my play,” said Smith, praising both Bowen and defensive coordinator Dave Campo.

“To know exactly what it is I’m doing.... I would definitely say coach Bowen has toughened me up a lot and made me a lot more sound, knowing my schemes and everything I’m supposed to be doing.”

With nearly everything about his current situation in better shape than what Smith endured during the past two seasons, the 5-foot-10, 200-pound Carter High graduate from Dallas said he’s having more fun with football than ever before.

But with season opener fast approaching, Smith knows that all of the good vibes will be gone if the results on the field don’t change.

That’s why he gave the answer he did when asked what part of his game he still was working to improve.

“Right now, I’m working on South Dakota State,” he said, “trying to know the ins and outs and everything we can about those guys so we can be successful the first game.”

KANSAS CITY’S JOHNNY GIAVOTELLA, LEFT, SCORES on an RBI single by Tony Abreu as Boston’s Ryan Lavarnway, right, tries to make the play in the fourth inning.

Regardless, the Royals fell, 8-6, on Sunday in Boston.

Escobar’s two errors doom Royals to 8-6 loss

BOSTON (AP) — Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar is proud of what he has done at the plate so far this season. It was his glove that had him feeling lousy Sunday.

Escobar booted two ground balls, leading to three unearned runs, and the Royals lost, 8-6, to the Boston Red Sox. “It’s hard for me right now,” Escobar said, quietly sitting at his locker with his head down. “I try to play hard with my defense. I know I can hit right now. I feel really bad right now, two errors in one game is bad for me.”

Escobar has hit well in his second season with Kansas City. Entering Sunday, he was the second-best-hitting shortstop in the majors, batting .304 to trail only New York’s Derek Jeter.

“You don’t see that very often,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of Escobar’s rough day. “We struggled to catch the ball today, and we had to pay for it. They were both tough plays, the ing, and by the time they first one skipped up on reach Point Z, they have a him, and the second was full understanding of what hit hard.” they’re doing.”

Escobar’s first error led As assistant coach to Erin O’Neil for KU, Katy recruits, instructs and serves as go-between with players’ personal swing coaches.

“I’m always keeping in contact with their instructors to make sure we’re on KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) the same page,” she said.

Katy’s greatest strength — The Kansas City Chiefs as a coach, according to have released 14 players her husband: “Definite- ahead of the NFL’s deadly her personality. She line to reach the 75-man doesn’t ever get mad or roster limit, including get frustrated or change. former Kansas University It’s always an even keel, tight end Tim Biere.

Other players released always positive.”

Josh’s greatest strength, by the Chiefs were fullback according to Katy: “Knowl- Shane Bannon; defensive edge. He picks up things backs Dominique Ellis and so quickly. For me, I watch Jean Fanor; linebackers Caa few swings and walk leb Campbell and Dexter around. It takes me awhile Heyman; offensive linemen to take it all in. With him, Justin Cheadle and Cam it happens so fast. It’s so Holland; defensive end Ethan Johnson; kicker Matt natural for him.”

Josh: “I thought you Szymanski; and wide receivwere going to say it’s my ers Jeremy Horne, Brandon Kinnie, Zeke Markshausen good looks.” and Aaron Weaver.

Katy: “No.”

to the go-ahead run in the sixth. The second paved the way for two unearned runs in the seventh that put Kansas City in a 7-4 hole.

James Loney hit a tying single in his Boston debut and Jacoby Ellsbury drove in the go-ahead run as the revamped Red Sox bounced back from a nineplayer trade and a 12-inning loss on Saturday night.

Will Smith (4-6) allowed five runs — four earned — and nine hits in five-plus innings for Kansas City.

“Just not a good day. It just wasn’t there today,” he said. “Couldn’t get anybody out, just gave up a lot of base hits. Nothing was working.”

A day after he was the only major leaguer coming to Boston in a deal that sent Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Nick Punto and more than $250 million in salary to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Loney went 1 for 5. Pedro Ciriaco had three hits, scored twice and drove in two runs for the Red Sox, who won for just the fourth time in 12 games.

Pedro Beato (1-0) allowed two runs in twoplus innings but got the win on the same day he was called up from TripleA Pawtucket. Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his first save.

Lorenzo Cain hit a three-run homer as the Royals scored four times in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead.

White Sox 4, Mariners 3, 7 innings CHICAGO — Tyler Flowers hit a go-ahead homer just before the final downpour, and Chicago beat Seattle in a rain-shortened game Sunday for its sixth straight victory.

Immediately following a six-minute rain delay in the seventh inning, Flowers launched a two-run shot off Kevin Millwood to lead first-place Chicago to its second consecutive series sweep.

Rain continued to pour until the tarp was put on to stay two batters later, and the game was called after a wait of nearly two hours.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 10B

Dear Annie: I am a single mother in my mid-30s and recently graduated from college.

Because of the current job market, I am having difficulty finding a permanent full-time position in my field. I will most likely need to relocate to another state.

The problem is my great-aunt. She is a nosy gossip and occasionally puts me on the spot, asking me all kinds of questions. I am not, nor have I ever been, close to this woman. I usually see her only in church, so this is where these grillings take place. She backs me into a corner, and I end up answering her. She had the nerve to ask whether I will be “allowed” to move to another state. When I asked her what she meant, she alluded to the fact that my ex-husband may not want me to take my son elsewhere.

Annie, this woman knows perfectly well

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

that my ex wants nothing to do with our son, and it is extremely hurtful when people bring up the subject. Why would she insinuate that he’d block me from moving?

I do not care to air my personal business to my drama queen of an aunt so she can have fodder for her gossipy life. But she is also family, and I do not want to cause controversy by telling her to mind her own business. How can I get her to stop her inquisitions in a tactful way? — Niece in the Hot Seat

Convention coverage not conventional Viewers in search of network newscasts of the opening night of the Republican National Convention will find repeats of “Castle” and “Hawaii Five-0” and an original “Grimm” instead. Network news has relegated all convention coverage to one hour a night at 9 p.m., beginning Tuesday. In their collective wisdom, they have decided to forgo the opening night entirely.

Are the networks abdicating their journalistic responsibility?

Or merely acknowledging that viewers follow politics on cable and emerging media — when they watch it at all?

Cable coverage tonight of the Republican National Convention starts at 6 p.m. on CNN and will be folded into the regular lineup of prime-time shows on MSNBC and Fox News.

PBS (7 p.m.) offers three hours of coverage. Current TV begins at 6 p.m. and includes observations from the network’s co-founder, former vice president and presidential candidate Al Gore, who has been to a few conventions.

Bloomberg television will offer convention insight on “Street Smart” (2 p.m.) and in prime time with “The Economy Election” (8 p.m.).

Viewers who choose to transcend television entirely can follow live feeds of the convention.

ABC News Digital and YouTube have joined forces to offer live streams and archived footage of the convention. This service is available all day and night and brings convention coverage back to the old days of gavel-to-gavel broadcasts that allowed audiences to follow the nitty-gritty minutiae of party politics. Follow the action at www.youtube.com/ politics?featureinp-bp-ype-01.

As it has for decades, C-SPAN will offer hours of convention footage. It also provides an Internet hub (www.c-span.org/RNC) for the Republican convention and will provide the same for the Democratic convention in September.

While networks offer fewer hours of convention newscasts than ever before, there has never been so much convention coverage, or so many ways to watch.

Tonight’s other highlights

Ricky talks about wedding plans on “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

A fatal auto wreck leaves few clear clues on “Major Crimes” (8 p.m., TNT).

Hank needs help finding his daughter on “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC).

A case concerning a schizophrenic forces Pierce to take stock on “Perception” (9 p.m., TNT).

BIRTHDAYS Musician Daryl Dragon is 70.

Actress Tuesday Weld is 69.

Actor Paul Reubens is 60. Rock musician Glen Matlock (The Sex Pistols) is 56. Rock musician Tony Kanal (No Doubt) is 42. Actress Sarah Chalke is 36. Actor Aaron Paul is 33. Actress Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”) is 24.

Dear Niece: There are ways to avoid answering nunofyerbizness-type questions by obfuscation and changing the subject while remaining sweet and pleasant. But it sounds like you need to practice in front of a mirror because you get too flustered when cornered.

Where did you get that lovely dress? You look 10 years younger.” Then give her a big kiss on the cheek and walk away before she recovers. Repeat as needed.

Dear Annie: I have a scholarship that makes my private college experience cost nearly the same as my sister’s public education. Recently, my father told me that I’m on my own in terms of paying for grad school, should I decide to go.

This surprised me because he and my mother

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Aug. 27: This year your creativity seeps into nearly everything you do. This gift, combined with your innate logic, allows your ideas to work well. If you are single, your uniqueness attracts many suitors. If you are attached, the two of you gain from your constantly evolving communication style.

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) Today, you really want to dote on a family member or loved one, yet where you are and what you are doing will not permit that spontaneity. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The smartest thing you can do right now is not take any action. A situation might encourage you to actively reach out for a child or loved one. Tonight: How about some exotic cuisine?

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A partnership naturally brings a lot of benefits with it, if you are willing to receive them. Follow your intuition and zero in on a longterm goal. Tonight: Chat about this issue over dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have your opinions, yet it seems as though a partner, boss or associate has opinions that appear to be more relevant.

Remember, this person’s attitude is natural, as he or she is responsible for this particular venture. Tonight: Do not be alone.

are currently paying for my sister to receive her master’s degree. Even though I could handle taking out loans, I’m a little hurt that they’d pay for my sister’s entire education and not mine.

How should I deal with this? — Feeling Unloved in Kansas Dear Kansas: It’s possible that your parents’ financial situation has changed recently, and although they feel obligated to continue with your sister’s tuition, they cannot afford to take on any more expenses. The only way to find out why they appear to show favoritism is to ask them. But frankly, neither you nor your sister should depend on your parents to cover the cost of post-graduate degrees. Please look into scholarships, grants and ACROSS 1 French other financial aid.

BABY BLANKET: BINGO! E

veryone is having babies right now — or so it seems every time I log in to Facebook.

With a baby shower coming up, I checked out the future parents’ registry to see what they were looking for. When I saw the blankets with the little hood in the corner, I figured I could make one.

It was pretty simple. I happened to have a yard of cute flannel and two coordinating fabric options in my stash.

INSTRUCTIONS

The most amazing part was that the fabric was fitting for a baby boy — I’ve made several trips to the fabric store recently and had a hard time picking out baby boy-appropriate motifs. At first I thought it was just my affinity for girly colors and patterns, but after the third trip, I realized it is legitimately hard to find a cute fabric for baby boys. Plaid is too mature, and the majority of fun kid prints have pink in them.

Personally, I’m not opposed to pink for all, but I wasn’t sure how the gift recipients would feel about it.

1. Measure and cut pieces 27 inches by 34 inches from the flannel and cotton fabrics. If you’re using 44-inch-wide fabric (which is standard), you should have a 10-inch-wide strip of each left over. Measure up the long edge 10 inches from the bottom and mark. Make a triangle from here to the opposite bottom corner with the ruler. You should have a triangle with two 10-inch sides. Cut one triangle from each fabric or two from the flannel for the hood.

2. It seems all baby blankets have rounded corners — you don’t want babies to hurt themselves on sharp corners.

Here’s how to round them: Fold the large flannel piece in quarters. Line up the plate, upside-down, with the edges of the fabric at the open corner and mark along the rim of the plate. Cut along the marking. Repeat for the cotton fabric. On the triangles for the hood, do the same on the corner across from the longest side.

3. Lay the triangles right sides together and pin. Sew along the long side of the

triangle, using a 1/2-inch seam. Press the seam apart, then fold the triangles wrong sides together and press.

4. Lay the flannel and cotton large pieces right sides together. Stick the triangle piece between the two layers, aligned with a corner. It doesn’t matter which corner unless you have a directional fabric with an obvious top and bottom. Have the flannel side of the hood face the flannel side of the blanket. Pin the pieces together.

5. You’ll leave a turning hole, about 4 inches wide, on the short edge of the blanket opposite the hood. Start sewing from the edge of the turning hole all the way around the blanket with a 1/2-inch seam allowance, backstitching at each end.

6. Clip the rounded corners, without cutting through the stitching, so they lay flat. Turn the blanket right-side out through the turning hole and press.

7. Topstitch all around the edges of the blanket with a 1/4-inch seam, which will close the turning hole. Press.

Your blanket is ready for keeping a baby warm, cuddly and cute — as if babies needed any help with that.

TAILOR WORKS ‘MAGIC’ ON CLOTHES

BY ADAM STRUNK

H

ala Safadi was perfectly satisfied taking care of her two children and working a few hours a week at Hancock Fabrics, 2108 W 27th St. “It was lovely,” she said.

Then her mother showed up for a visit from Jordan. A long visit.

Seventeen years later, Safadi, of Lawrence, owns her own business, Kim’s Alterations, 2201 W. 25th St., with a customer base she calls family and a job she calls “a dream.”

She didn’t expect that to be the case when she started.

“There was no way I was going to be doing this for 17 years. That was just her (Safadi’s mother’s) dream, and I wanted to keep her happy for some time.”

Safadi spends her days in her small shop surrounded by clothes, colorful thread and her television. Her hand moves up and down with a needle, patching ripped jeans, fixing hems and letting out or taking in dresses. In an average week, she alters more than 75 items of clothing.

Her job: “To make the customer look good.”

“Alteration is like an art, I swear,” she said.

“You work it somehow, it’s like magic, I swear.”

Such works of magic include figuring out how to fit a panicked bride into a dress, now 7 inches too tight, or how to sew Velcro into a pair of pants so a male entertainer can easily take them off.

“That was fun,” she said laughing.

Safadi didn’t learn how to do this magic on her own — her mother taught her. In 1993, her mother, a former seamstress, came for a visit, wishing to see the United States. Around that time, the original Kim of Kim’s Alterations approached Safadi, whom she had met while buying fabric, to tell her she was selling the business. Safadi’s mother wanted to capitalize on the business opportunity.

So the two bought the business, keeping its old name and making Hala the new “Kim.” “Everybody calls me Kim and I’m OK with it,” she said.

“They see me on the street and they’re like ‘Hi, Kim.’” Safadi’s mother ran the business as Hala learned, taking care of her two children, both under 3 years old, in the shop.

John Young/Journal-World Photo

HALA SAFADI, LAWRENCE, has owned Kim’s Alterations, 2201 W. 25th St., for 17 years. “Everybody calls me Kim and I’m OK with it,” she said. “They see me on the street and they’re like ‘Hi, Kim.’” “I had the playpen,” she said. “I had the little bed. I had everything. Customers were sitting and playing with the kids. It was a lot of fun.”

Somewhere along the way, her mother’s dream became Safadi’s dream.

“The money is good. I own this place. I have no rent, I have nothing. My hours are not that hard. So I’m playing the game now. I’m taking it easy.”

Her mother has now returned to Jordan. Safadi’s kids are now almost grown, her son 17 and her daughter a freshman in college.

With her family gone, she now looks to her customers.

“I have no family here. My customers are my family, my friends. So I work around them to make them happy.”

She must be doing something right because Safadi said she has had some of her customers for more than 15 years.

“My friends, my customers, they come in here and pull up a chair,” she said. “Even if they have no work they come in here and talk.”

Safadi said that she could not have picked a better way to spend her life.

However, Safadi does not think that she will have a third generation running the operation: “My daughter has no interest. That makes me sad big time.”

Her daughter wants to start out in journalism.

W

ith season 10 of “Project Runway” under way, and using season 9 winner Anya Ayoung Chee as inspiration — she had been sewing less than six months before joining the competition — it’s time to learn how to sew.

There are two websites we especially

liked where you can start with basic techniques and construction, and then advance to more sophisticated projects.

The flashier site is Threads (threads magazine.com), which is not only colorful but has numerous instructional videos, including its “Teach Yourself to Sew Series.”

Although there’s much you can glean for free, as you advance, you will have to join to access other materials. Annual

membership is $32.95, but there is a 14day free trial.

Although it no has no bells and whistles, very little color and no videos, sewing.org offers much excellent instruction for free. Beginners should proceed to the Guidelines for Sewing link, where there are easy-to-follow PDF directions and tips on everything from buying a sewing machine to how to make a covered button. Any of these PDF files can

be saved to your computer. You’ll also find projects, a blog and a link to upload photos of your sewing room.

Sites: threadsmagazine.com and sewing.org

Description: Written and video instructions to assist in sewing

Target audience: Beginner to advanced seamsters

Crescendo is a choir for seniors offered through Lawrence Children’s Choir.

T

hough they range from age 3 to 97, the members of the Lawrence Children’s Choir and its senior counterpart, Crescendo, have more in common with each other than they might realize.

“Each group gets excited about coming together to learn a new piece,” says Janeal Krehbiel, who retired as the organization’s artistic director in June. “They all enjoy the chance to feel like they have done something to grow and be fruitful.”

Crescendo — which, in music terminology, means to grow or become fuller — rehearses once a week at Presbyterian Manor for about eight weeks before performing with the LCC preschool and elementary school-aged children, says new Artistic Director Carolyn Welch.

“The younger kids are so curious about the lives and perspectives of the older people, and the seniors just light up because they love spending time with them,” she says.

“The common bond that forms in sharing the same songs across generations is a very powerful thing.”

Mary Burchill, 77, says the kids are amazed that the seniors know the same songs they do.

“They’re learning some of the old folk songs that we learned when we were kids, like ‘Skip to My Lou,’” she says. “Of course, they think these songs are brand new.”

Krehbiel, who co-founded the LCC with her sister in 1991, says she was inspired to start a senior citizen choir when her parents moved to Presbyterian Manor in 2009.

Krehbiel says that her father, Harry Crabb, kept saying how much he was going to miss singing once he’d moved to Lawrence from Moundridge, where he sang in the Eden Mennonite Church choir for 50 years.

Eighty-eight-year-old Crabb says he plays trumpet for one hour every morning after breakfast and sometimes finds a crowd of listeners in wheelchairs gathered outside his apartment door of the retirement home’s assisted living floor.

“It’s a great retirement activity, though you have to keep in shape,” he says. “I feel pretty cheap inside when I don’t hit those high notes.”

Crabb says he took to playing again as a distraction as his ailing wife lived out her final days.

“Life would be empty without music,” he says.

Although seniors from other retirement homes such as Brandon Woods and Drury Place have participated in the past, most of the Crescendo singers are Presbyterian Manor residents with varied musical backgrounds.

At first, many people felt inadequate or worried about their ability to sing or be productive in a choir, Krehbiel says.

“It had been a long time since I’d performed, probably at least 50 years,” Burchill says. “I never thought about singing with a group, but it certainly brings back some of the feelings of exuberance you had when you were younger.”

of the choir and mouth the words of songs during music class because they were told they couldn’t sing, Krehbiel says.

“Some of my greatest, most fulfilling artistic experiences happen when I’m not with the most select group of people,” she says. “Everyone should have a chance to learn to sing.”

With a little convincing from Krehbiel and some largeprint sheet music, Crescendo slowly took off and now has about 25 members, Welch says.

“Our rehearsals are much like any other choir rehearsals. We don’t dumb down the music at all,” Welch says.

“We sing four parts with complex harmonies and pay attention to diction and musicality and all things that make a choral performance a good one.”

O O O

Ken and Pat Blair say they enjoy participating in Cre-

scendo because it gives them an opportunity to develop camaraderie and get to know other Manor residents better.

The couple met in junior high school and started dating during their senior year at Topeka High when they were reunited in an honors music class in 1952.

“Music brought us together,” Ken says. “We were devastated when the governor made cuts for arts. He has no idea what effect that has.”

Chorus America recognized the Lawrence Children’s Choir’s unique pairing of children with senior citizens by awarding it the 2012 Education Outreach Award at the 35th Annual Conference in June.

“Awards like this really help validate that what we’re doing is important and makes a difference,” says LCC Executive Director Jane Roesner Graves. “It’s hard to get that recognition, especially during a time when state and national budgets for the arts are really under attack.

“When you’re in the arts, you’re not in it for money.

You’re in it because you believe in how it can be a transformative experience.”

Other award recipients at this year’s conference included big-name choirs from major U.S. cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

“I think that speaks volumes for the quality of program we have,” Roesner Graves says. “We’re known throughout the nation and we do a lot of good for Lawrence.

Those kids really feel proud of themselves, and you can tell by the joy on their faces.”

It is the duty of all artistic directors to educate people at both ends of the age spectrum, Krehbiel says.

“Music is a gift until the end, and it gives hope to both young and old people,” she says. “There’s something very beautiful about seeing a 6-year-old holding the hand of an elderly woman in a wheelchair.”

Parishioner leads charge to break ground for women in church

{

B Y M A N Y A A . B R A C H E A R , ings and have women with real preaching CHICAGO TRIBUNE authority within the system,” said Phyl-

C

— Lynne Mapes-Riordan of Evanston, Ill., hopes women will one day serve as Roman Catholic deacons. After 800 years, she could be one of the first.

Growing up, she never gave ordination a second thought. But then she learned that, unlike the church’s verdict barring women priests, the question of women deacons has never been resolved.

That open question has led Mapes-Riordan, 49, and her fellow parishioners at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Evanston to seek an answer. If the church finds in favor of female deacons, she could become one of the first women ordained since the 12th century. After meeting last winter with members of the parish, including MapesRiordan, Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George reportedly promised to raise the question in Rome during his visit earlier this year.

Scholars say women deacons wouldn’t be a novel or new idea, but the restoration of a tradition abandoned centuries ago.

The idea of female deacons “is being talked about very slowly,” George said earlier this year during a forum at the Union League Club in response to a question about the future likelihood of women priests. “The diaconate is a more open question. At this place, at this time, it is not a possibility.”

Mapes-Riordan, a lawyer, wife, mother of two and longtime parishioner at St. Nicholas, does not take a position on whether women should become priests.

The church has made it clear that’s not permitted. Ordaining women as deacons is not the same, she said.

“In a strange way, I don’t see this being about women,” Mapes-Riordan said during a recent interview inside St. Nicholas.

“I see it as being about church and mission.

We have this part of a puzzle, this piece, that I’m not going to say is missing, but we could have a fuller picture if this (letting women become deacons) was added. I don’t see it as a women’s issue. I see it as a matter for our church.”

At a time when critics have accused Catholic church leaders of declaring a war on women by restricting insurance coverage for contraceptives, rebuking American nuns and maintaining an all-male priesthood, a renewed discussion about ordaining women as deacons indicates high-profile church leaders such as George want to give women more opportunities for church leadership.

“It’s a message of hope. It’s a way to stay within the boundaries of Catholic teachHICAGO

lis Zagano, one of the American church’s leading researchers on the subject of women deacons. “I think the bishops need to address this issue directly.”

In the Catholic Church, there are three levels of ordained clergy: bishops, priests and deacons. Deacons can’t say Mass, hear confessions or anoint the sick, but they can baptize, officiate at weddings or funerals and preach.

A handful of scholars, including Zagano, argue that the diaconate of the early church included both men and women. In fact, they say the Apostle Paul tapped a woman deacon, Phoebe, to deliver his most important epistle to the Romans, explaining the concept of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Historians say in an attempt to accommodate societal norms, the church ceased giving women public leadership roles. The permanent diaconate vanished until the Second Vatican Council asked Pope Paul VI to reinstate it in the 1960s. Even then, the pope asked what role women should play, but the question reportedly never got a public answer.

In 2002, the International Theological Commission of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a report that didn’t rule out the possibility of women deacons. Seven years later, Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic letter that distinguished between the role of bishops and priests and the purpose of deacons. While bishops and priests act as icons of Christ, deacons act as Christ’s servants, he wrote.

Zagano, whose archives are housed at Loyola University Chicago, believes if the church had resolved the question and invited women into the permanent diaconate, there would be less upheaval about women priests.

“It’s clear that women were ordained sacramentally as deacons and could be so ordained again,” Zagano said. “Because the church is not moving, a lot of people are moving beyond it.”

But Sister Sara Butler, a professor of systematic theology at University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein Seminary, does not believe there is sufficient historical or theological evidence to support adding women to the permanent diaconate. One of the first two women named to the International Theological Commission in 2004, Butler said the church is still trying to sort out just what it means to be ordained a deacon.

“I don’t think it’s because they don’t want women,” she said. “The theology of the diaconate needs to be thoroughly refined.”

WHEN TEACHERS BULLY Double TAKE Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: What do you do when a teacher is the bully?

Last semester, one of my daughter’s teachers repeatedly yelled at her in front of the class for asking questions, requesting help using classroom equipment, asking to go to the bathroom, etc.

I downplayed the severity until I met with the teacher to discuss a grade that seemed unfair. In response she began yelling at ME, accusing my daughter of lying about her treatment in class and verbally attacking me.

My daughter was a senior honor student, and I’ve always gotten praise for her demeanor, work ethic and class participation. This teacher said she has the backing of the administration and it’s her word against ours.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT teachers on their own, but even adults are sometimes cowed by bad bosses or intimidating authority figures.

Unfortunately, your story proves that peaceful resolution doesn’t always come easily. Thus, parents should always keep a paper trail of communication with teachers to bring to administration if need be.

The teacher may have mentioned her administration backing as a defense mechanism, but with evidence of your long-term worries in hand, administrators will not turn a blind eye to a student’s suffering.

If not, a bullied student should look into transferring out of the class. High school is tough enough as it is. No teenager should worry about harassment from an adult she’s supposed to be able to trust.

Katie: As students, we depend upon teachers for feedback, both supportive and critical. We need them to make us feel comfortable and safe. It sounds like this one had the opposite effect on your daughter.

When any bully, regardless of age, damages a child’s experience of school, the parent’s first job is to build a protective shell around her self-esteem. At home, you can remind your daughter that she is a smart, capable young woman, and nothing a teacher tells her can change that.

Nevertheless, parents should presume a teacher innocent until proven guilty. Most would be horrified to learn that they had caused a student such anxiety and would immediately work to improve the situation.

Parents need to comfort teens without losing their own heads around teachers, and it sounds like you handled this perfectly, by meeting in person to assess the situation for yourself. Too often, parents assume that once kids enter junior or senior year, they can solve independently any problems they encounter at school. High school really is a great time for students to start communicating with

Dr. Wes: Katie is right. It’s hard to be judge, jury and prosecutor on a situation like this, figuring out who is to bless and blame.

But you’ve done your homework, and if your story is accurate — and I read a much more detailed version in an earlier draft — this teacher broke an implicit contract with your daughter. While it would be in-

appropriate for a superior to call her out in front of you, I would have taken it on to the principal for review and let him or her handle it in private. The calmer and more businesslike you were, the more likely a favorable outcome.

Unfortunately, that might sour the teacher on your daughter once and for all, just as reprimanding bullies often leads to an uptick in their bad behavior when nobody is looking.

Thankfully these situations are comparatively rare, making this one stand out from the background like a big neon sign of dysfunction. Most teachers do not act this way, and many are unsung heroes, which is why we know a bad apple when we see one.

The current reality in education, both locally and nationally, is that classroom sizes are growing, job security is diminishing, the political climate is toxic toward public school teachers, and salaries are flat or declining. This creates an incredibly stressful work environment, and it’s possible your daughter got caught in that crossfire.

That is, however, no excuse. Moreover, this teacher showed a pattern of such behavior over time, suggesting more than a stressful day or two. As adults, one of the best things we can do for kids is know when to apologize. There is no humiliation in sorrow, but instead a strength of character that we pass on to our children by simply saying, “I’m sorry.” This teacher would be wise to practice that kind of diplomacy and make some amends before she loses the backing of her community.

Hot dogs, from left: Greek spanakopita, Indian curry, taco and pizza

Fresh inspiration for well-dressed dogs

BY J.M. HIRSCH, ASSOCIATED PRESS ONLINE: Get the recipes for the pizza dog and taco dog at Lawrence.com

P

lenty of people surely will disagree, but I firmly believe that underdressed hot dogs simply aren’t worth the calories.

If all you’re going to do to a hot dog is drizzle some ketchup, splurt some mustard and spoon some relish on it, it’s not worth the effort to eat. I favor a well-dressed dog, a hot dog accompanied by robust and inspired toppings that transform this classic summer food into so much more.

As such, my preferred hot dogs tend to be on the overflowing and messy side. But that’s why they are summer food, so you can eat them outside.

But just because they are overflowing and messy doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a plan. I like to draw inspiration from other dishes when planning the toppings for a hot dog. An Indian curry, for example, is a fine starting point when selecting toppings. Same for Greek spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese pie), pizza and tacos.

THE CURRY DOG One part Indian curry, one part allAmerican dog, this frankfurter isn’t afraid of big, bold flavors. There’s not a whole lot of work involved in this hot dog, but the potato roll is key. It not only has a crazy good taste and texture, it’s also a subtle nod to the potatoes added to so many

more authentic curry dishes. Paneer, a heat-resistant Indian cheese that can be grilled, usually is found in the grocer’s international or specialty cheese aisles.

Drizzle a bit of canola oil over 4 hot dogs, rolling them to coat evenly. Sprinkle the hot dogs evenly with curry powder (mild or spicy, to taste). Grill the hot dogs, as well as 4 small slabs of paneer, over medium heat. Grill the cheese for 3 minutes, flipping once, or until nicely browned on both sides. Toast 4 potato hot dog buns on both sides. Finely chop the grilled paneer and fill each toasted bun with some. Place a hot dog over the cheese, then spoon mango chutney over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serves 4.

THE GREEK DOG Inspired by the gobs of feta cheese and spinach that are layered into classic spanakopita, this hot dog has the big, robust flavors of Greek food.

Thaw 1 cup of loose-packed frozen shredded spinach, then squeeze it over the sink to remove as much water as possible.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat a splash of olive oil. Saute the spinach, a diced medium yellow onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. When the onion is tender, season with salt, pepper and dill seed.

Grill 4 hot dogs and toast 4 hot dog buns or pitas over medium heat. Spoon some of the spinach mixture into each bun or pita, then place a hot dog over it. Top with crumbled feta cheese and, if desired, a bit of purchased tzatziki (Greek yogurt dip — sold alongside the hummus). Serves 4.

arkened room, deafening music, sweaty bodies, booty-skirts, spilling cocktails — even in a college town, that dance scene isn’t for everybody.

Fortunately for people who love to dance, or those who haven’t tried but think they might, Lawrence has other options for social dancing that even include instruction.

From sultry, controlled Argentine tango to old-fashioned, foot-stomping barn dance, a handful of Lawrence groups meet for regular dances, preceded by lessons so beginners can get on the floor right away.

None require you to bring your own partner, either.

Regulars and newcomers cite good music, physical activity and, most of all, the social experience as their favorite reasons for showing up.

“It’s very social, very community-oriented, easy and, you know, less expensive than a movie these days,” said Brad Levy, Lawrence, who is on the board of the Lawrence Barn Dance Association.

The association’s monthly contra dances — where men and women face each other in a line and change partners throughout, as opposed to square or couples dancing — attract between 50 and 100 people, from middle-schoolers to senior citizens, Levy said. There’s live music, the dancing

“It’s simple enough that everything you need to know, you can learn at the beginner’s session,” he said. “Some people who find some other types of dance difficult find this one easy because there’s someone who tells you what to do. There’s no real fancy footwork or anything like that.”

The Lawrence Folk Dancers group has no caller, but the moves are basic and repetitive, said member Craig Paul, Lawrence.

“After a little bit, some of the dances are so simple you can start to talk to your neighbor while you’re dancing,” Paul said.

“This really is a social dance group.”

Paul said his group does mostly Balkan folk dance, with some Israeli, Scandinavian and even East Asian thrown in. He said many members speak multiple lan-

guages, and foreign conversations and songs often accompany their dances.

Evoking visions of Elizabeth Bennet and the charming Mr. Darcy, complete with curtseys and genteel bows, English Country Dance may be one of the oldest social dance forms in town.

But it’s also lively, it’s evolving, and even college students are getting into it, said Jill Allen, Lawrence, a board member of the Lawrence English Dance group.

“It’s fun, and it’s gracious,” Allen said.

“People do this all over the continent.

Once you learn it, you can go to other communities and fall right into it.”

When it comes to dances like tango and swing, the most basic steps are simple.

The most practiced dancers, however, can combine and finesse them in ways that rival “Dancing with the Stars.”

At a recent Tuesday Night Swing session, hosted by the Kansas University Swing Society, rookies and experienced dancers alike reviewed basic steps and techniques and learned new patterns before the group of 10 burgeoned to about 25 and the dance floor filled up for the open session that followed.

Roger Keys, Eudora, had attended about three times and said the dancing was a welcome change of pace from his job as a chemical engineer with Black and Veatch in Overland Park.

“It’s really nice to come here after all day crunching numbers,” Keys said. “I get to use the other side of my brain.”

Keys took a semester of ballroom dance as a senior-year filler elective at Kansas State University. He said he learned a little swing but that he had a long way to go.

“I want to get that good,” Keys said, nodding toward an animated 30-something hopping, twisting and twirling his partner around the dance floor like he could do it in his sleep. “That’s why I keep coming.”

Push-ups an enduring standard in workouts

I

t seems as though every week we have a new fitness craze sweeping the nation.

Eventually, that fitness craze finds its way to the middle of the country and arrives here in Lawrence. Although this sometimes takes years to occur, it’s better late than never.

Or is it?

It’s been my experience that when people are trying to embark on a fitness journey, whether it be to lose weight or to challenge themselves to take their workout to the next level, there are two different camps.

One side loves to try new things and to think outside of the box. This group welcomes change and loves new things, like Insanity, TRX and CrossFit. These are fantastic workouts when led by certified and educated fitness professionals but can lead to injuries if not.

Meanwhile, the other camp prefers to stay the course and rely on those things that are tried and true, like step classes and power walking.

And then there are those of us who fall in the middle and enjoy trying new things but tend to rely on the basics to get us through our workouts. And unless you are on a serious weight loss or fitness plateau, that is perfectly OK. As I’ve written many times, basic exercises have remained popular due to one major factor: They work, plain and simple. So if flipping tires and suicide sprints are not your style, then spend some time evaluating basic standbys that will not only still challenge you, but also allow you to modify them as your fitness abilities increase and improve.

That’s your goal, right? To stop just thinking about it and actually start doing, isn’t it? Of course it is!

Let’s talk about one exercise that can improve your strength, your shoulders,

your back and your chest. That’s all without mentioning the fact that you will obviously be focusing on contracting your abdominal muscles and engaging your core.

Tired of flabby upper arms? A combination of push-ups and cardio to burn off extra fat is key to develop a firm upper body. Push-ups effectively target the muscles in the front and back of the arms as well as the chest and upper back.

To exercise this many muscles at the gym, you’d have to use a series of machines. With push-ups, you’re working the same muscles using your own body resistance. Who needs a health club membership to look good in a tank top?

One of the biggest benefits of doing push-ups is their simplicity. All you need is a firm surface and your body to complete this exercise. There’s no need for weights or special equipment, and they can be done almost anywhere. They’re a great upper body strength-building exercise to do when traveling because they can be done on the floor of any hotel room.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE with a regular push-up, try a wide-leg stance. There are many push-up modifications for beginners or for working different muscle groups.

Want to tone the upper body and burn calories fast? Do five minutes of an aerobic exercise such as jogging in place and then do a full minute of push-ups. Repeat this five times.

Welcome to circuit training and tabata sets, which are one of the fastest and most effective ways to get into shape.

If you’re new to push-ups, start out doing them with your knees on the ground until you build up more upper body strength. Start with five or 10 and do them on a regular basis. After a week, try one on your toes, and then add on. Challenge yourself! Some people find a wide-legged push-up to be a little easier, so give that a shot, too.

anted: A perfect exercise partner. One who improves physical capabilities and mental outlook, lowers blood pressure and raises morale, has no qualms going out at any hour of any day, is always happy to be with you, and who will never call to cancel your workout. Plus (added bonus) licks your face when you’re finished.

“They always want to go,” says Leslie Blake, 57, of her dogs, Jake and Charley (Cha Cha). “It doesn’t matter what time it is or what the weather is like, and that gets me out when normally I might skip my run.”

Studies abound touting the benefits of dog walking.

People who walk their dogs are more likely to engage in additional forms of exercise, according to Michigan State University research.

A University of Western Australia study found that seven of 10 adult dog owners get 150 minutes of exercise weekly, compared with four out of 10 nonowners.

A study published in Preventive Medicine reported that dog-walking dog owners are 25 percent less likely to be obese than people who don’t own dogs.

“I have many clients who come in and say, ‘My dog

challenging for her because she has had some issues with her wrists. No problem there — we simply modified it so that she sometimes does the exercise on her forearms, or on a softer surface, like a Bosu.

We’ve even used an ottoman!

Don’t let small things get in your way.

There is always a modification!

For those of you who are looking to step up your basic workout, move on to incline push-ups. Elevate your feet by placing them on a bench or chair to emphasize the upper chest muscles.

Placing your hands higher than your feet targets the muscles in the lower chest.

Try placing your hands on a small ball while doing a set of push-ups to tone the triceps.

The push-up has endless variations and is anything but basic. Have some fun with it!

THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS and I are going on an exercise program together. We’re going to walk every day,’” says veterinarian Lynda Van Antwerp, owner of Carrollton West Pet Hospital.

When Van Antwerp talks about the benefits of exercise — healthy joints, active digestive systems, weight control — the line’s blurred as to whether she’s talking about the pets or the owners. Both, usually.

“Diet and exercise is a huge portion of all our (pets’) health problems like it is with people,” she says. When people call the pet hospital and are put on hold, they hear information about health benefits of owning a pet.

Kids, no kids? One or four?

When couples disagree

BY LEANNE ITALIE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

YORK — Ken Budd fell for his high school sweetheart all over again when they reconnected after college.

Both were 25 when they married. He just assumed they’d have kids one day, something he had always wanted, but it wasn’t until his father died 14 years later that he even broached the subject with his wife. The result?

“I wanted to have a child and she ultimately didn’t,” Budd said. “She said she just felt like she didn’t have maternal feelings.”

Far less has landed couples in divorce court, but the Burke, Va., couple — he an editor and she a nurse — made it through.

Budd, now 46, said he gave up the parenting dream and channeled his fatherly feelings into volunteer work on behalf of poor kids all over the world, trips his wife came along on a couple of times.

“You both wind up feeling guilty,” said Budd, who wrote a book about his travels and the reasons for them. “She feels guilty because she knows I wanted this thing but she didn’t feel like she could do it and I feel guilty because I’ve put her in this position where she feels guilty, so we both had to work through some things.”

Whether it’s having children at all or how many to have, divorce attorneys and therapists said the issue rears regularly, but it’s often unrealistic to think couples can close the negotiation on kids before heading to the altar.

Talking about it, at the very least, is a good idea before the rings are on.

“You may resent your partner for denying you something that is so important to you. On the flip side, if you pressure a spouse into having a child they don’t want, it can be detrimental not only to the marriage but to the child as well,” said Lori Freson, a therapist in Encino, Calif.

It’s easy, she said, to pretend a kid divide before the nuptials doesn’t exist.

“Denial and avoidance can be very powerful, especially in a love relationship,” Freson said. “Love makes us do crazy things.

Most people in love don’t want to acknowledge the reasons why it might NOT work.”

Sometimes minds change.

David Knoller is 65. He retired a few months ago as a medical research administrator at a hospital near his Fair Lawn, N.J., home. His wife, Rochelle, worked as a librarian for more than 20 years.

They have a 28-year-old son who, RoEW

chelle noted wryly, “doesn’t know how lucky he is to be alive.”

The Knollers met in the summer of 1976, in line to renew their driver’s licenses in Manhattan. They married the following January. Like the Budds, Rochelle was 25. Just about all of her friends were single at the time and of one thing she was certain: She didn’t want kids.

“I had had a pretty unhappy childhood. I certainly didn’t enjoy the child part of it, but my parents didn’t seem to be having a good time, either,” she said. “I had made up my mind not to have a child and that was it.”

David, who is five years older, was aware of her feelings. He knew he wanted to be a dad, but love won. They were best friends who enjoyed hanging out together. And they were young. They were having fun.

“I figured time was on my side,” he said.

“I figured that it was a discussion that could be deferred until we really got to know each other.”

It worked, about six years later, when Rochelle decided without urging to get pregnant at a time she was having trouble getting her career in recreation therapy off the ground. She trained later in library science.

“I occasionally used to wonder if I had found librarianship earlier would I have made this same decision, and will never know obviously,” she said.

Jacqueline Newman, managing partner of a Manhattan family law firm specializing in wealthy clients, said Rochelle’s turnaround isn’t unique.

A variety of factors are usually at play once somebody comes knocking on Newman’s door. When having kids is one, a change of heart by one or the other often surfaces, she said.

“Your priorities shift, lifestyles shift,” Newman said, noting the case of a husband she once represented. “Both didn’t want kids, then he decided he did once they were married. She felt completely tricked by it.

Both earned lots of money, so things like hiring a nanny or quitting her job weren’t a problem. She just felt like, ‘We made a deal.

You’re changing the terms of that deal.’”

Being clear on parenting desires is crucial heading into marriage, said Ramani Durvasula, a psychologist in Los Angeles.

“This can actually be a backbreaking challenge for a relationship” because of the high potential for “unfixable regret,” she said.

“That trip to Paris you didn’t take 10 years ago can be addressed even when you’re in your 70s, but decisions about kids have numerous ramifications in terms of lifestyle, finances, stress, identity.”

WEDGES, like this example from Steve Madden, can carry you from summer into fall.

Navigate season’s transition with fall uniform

I

know plenty of women who would forego a month or two of rent payments in order to purchase a pair of Louboutin shoes. In fact, not too long ago, I heard a lady on the radio tell the DJ that she would wrestle anyone of his choosing for a pair.

Wearing these thousand-dollar, skyscraper-high heels with their signature shiny, red-lacquered soles are, and I quote the designer himself, a “quasi-masochistic experience.” Why anyone would choose to subject herself to pain like this is beyond me.

In fact, we don’t even have to go so far as a Louboutin heel — high heels in general make me feel a little queasy.

Now that the weather is cooling down and we’re rearranging our closets to bring the fall garments to the front, I would suggest shoving most of your high heels toward the back with your tanks tops and shorts.

Instead, bring out the wedges, cropped pants and blazers to complete your fall uniform.

WEDGES When wedge heels came back into fashion last summer, I breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to pumps or stilettos, I can run a marathon in wedges. They strike a balance between casual and professional, between laidback and dressed up.

It seems as though every woman has a pair of wedges this summer, and I would encourage you to keep them out for the fall. If you’re on the hunt for a pair, now is the time to get them. They’ll surely be on sale from stores looking to clear out their summer stock.

BLAZER I have to admit, I’m not one for tailored clothing. I’m still in my 20s and therefore still have an embarrassing affinity to just making things fit “good enough.”

Blazers, however, are an article of clothing that can take an outfit of so-so pieces and pull them together to

create a sharp ensemble. Even if paired with a simple T-shirt tucked into some cropped pants, a blazer works wonders in transforming a Saturday afternoon outfit into a business-casual look.

COLORFUL CROPPED PANTS If I’m going to wear a conservative, neutral, tailored blazer, I’m going to have to have some colorful pants to liven up the outfit.

I realize not everyone loves color as much as I do, and if this is you, I suggest charcoal or black fitted trousers to pair with a blazer and some wedges. For a more colorful outfit, try out some cropped pants in warm tones for the fall: red, burnt orange or a dark yellow.

If, however, you choose a colorful blazer, keep the pants a neutral color for a balanced, pulled-together appearance.

O

ne full week and some odd change into the school year, and I am already stumped by homework.

While our high school sophomore knows better than to ask me for help with anything more complicated than getting a ride to a debate tournament, I somehow have our eighth-grader convinced I can do things like define “coefficient” and solve for both “x” AND “y.”

This particular assignment involved identifying proper fractions and then finding the correlation between n-squaredplus-one-over-n and a chart full of multicolored dots.

It was while staring at the dots that I remembered a couple of years ago at a backto-school night when our daughter’s sixthgrade teacher emphasized the importance of mastering sixth-grade math, as most adults use skills acquired up through and including the sixth-grade math level on a daily basis, though rarely much more beyond that.

Truer words were never spoken.

My dad, as both an engineer and a semiretired remodeler, has certainly tapped into eighth-, 10th-, probably even collegelevel math long after solving problems for a grade. And I imagine there are still bankers in the world who determine annual interest accruals on certificates of deposit by using long-form integration equations (I used to know what that means).

But for most of us, daily math involves in-head calculations for word problems such as: “Popcorn at the movie theater costs $5; Raisinets cost $4.50. How much will snacks cost for a family of six?” (Answer: $6 plus tax if you shop the dollar candy shelf at Target and sneak it in. Save the popcorn for when your kids aren’t with you.)

Or: “Your minivan gets 19 miles per gal-

lon. Your gas light comes on. How far can you go before you have to fill up?” (Answer: 39 miles, which comes as both a relief and a surprise to you when you discover your tank actually holds at least 18.239 gallons, not 17.788 as you had previously believed.)

Or: “Julie is interested in a new pair of boots for the winter. It has been several years since she last purchased a new pair. The tread has worn down to a dangerous level on the heel, the black finish has rubbed off in a way she can no longer cover it with a Sharpie and the toe shape has been out of style for two seasons now.

If she forgoes dinner out with the family in exchange for cooking something with pasta and nonorganic chicken for three extra meals this month, can she justify a new pair of boots, priced at 20 percent off for a limited time?” (Answer: You had me at “new pair of boots.”)

Our son is now in sixth grade, possibly completing a majority of his long-term math education this year. We will persevere in teaching them all how to do impressive stunts with their mechanical pencils and graphing calculators, but it is nice to know that, by May, three-fourths (a proper fraction) of our kids will be equipped to deal with any variable that might come along.

Rotten wood is often the result of improper water drainage.

S

oft, rotten or severely damaged wood can be repaired with a combination of a penetrating liquid epoxy and a good wood filler.

Step 1: Before making any repairs to rotten wood, identify the cause of the wood rot and repair it. Repairing damaged wood without first addressing the aggravating factor will only result in the need for additional repairs in the future.

Rotten wood is often the result of improper water drainage. Check gutters, drip edge and other water diverting devices to assure they are working properly. Exterior window ledges should slope away from the house to allow for proper drainage.

Downspouts should direct water away from the home. Trees, shrubs and other vegetation should be a minimum of 12 inches away from the home to allow for proper air circulation and to discourage insect infestation.

Step 2: Once the aggravating factors have been addressed, allow wood to dry completely before proceeding with any repairs.

Step 3: Clean away any loose wood and debris from damaged area. Trim back small irregular sections. When using liquid epoxy for repairs, drill several angled 1/8-inch shallow holes into the wood, but not through the wood for added penetration. The holes will function as small res-

ervoirs for the liquid epoxy to gather in.

Step 4: For the best long-term results, choose a high-quality, two-part liquid epoxy such as Abatron’s Liquid Wood. Minwax Wood Hardener is a good alternative for less damaged areas. When using twopart products, follow the manufacturer’s instructions thoroughly, mixing up only as much epoxy as needed for the immediate project.

Step 5: Brush or pour the liquid epoxy onto the rotted wood. Allow the epoxy to puddle in the shallow holes. Saturate the wood completely and then allow it to dry.

Step 6: Once the liquid epoxy has cured and the rotted wood is hardened, fill the remaining gaps with a high-quality, two-part epoxy filler, such as Abatron’s Wood Epox.

Step 7: Wearing latex or vinyl gloves, mix equal parts of the epoxy components together until the product is a uniform color. Epoxy putties dry quickly, so mix small amounts at a time to avoid waste.

Use your hands to work putty into small sections at a time, shaping the putty to resemble the missing wood sections as closely as possible. Once dried, epoxy putty can be sanded, drilled and finished just like real wood.

Veterinary house calls increasing

L

OS ANGELES (AP) — Two kids, two pets, two jobs, too much.

That’s how it felt to Erin McCarthy when it came time to drag her cat and puppy to the veterinarian. So she jumped on a growing trend among veterinarians and called the vet to her.

House calls are a growing trend among the country’s 85,000 veterinarians, said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

It’s been a life-saver for McCarthy, whose cat Duke was so afraid of the vet he had to be tranquilized to get there. When he was joined by a Shih Tzu puppy, Pooch, they found a vet who makes house calls, Elisabetta Coletti. McCarthy has made liberal use of text-messaging when a house call isn’t necessary.

“When Pooch ate a peppermint patty last week, she was there with

instant advice that got us through the night,” said McCarthy, a teacher in Brooklyn, N.Y. The trend is a return to tradition, Beaver said: “We used to call them farm calls.” While the vet was taking care of cows and horses and other livestock, he would take care of the family dogs and cats too, she said.

“House calls used to be the bread and butter part of our business,” agreed Dr. Margarita Abalos, a relief and concierge vet in Los Angeles.

Then clinics and hospitals, where X-rays could be taken and surgeries performed, became the norm.

Now house calls are making a bit of a comeback, at least in bigger cities and higher income areas, said Abalos, who handles several ranch pigs, goats and sheep in addition to smaller animals.

Seeing an animal at its home enhances the bond between vet, pet and owner, the veterinarians say.

It starts with less stress, said Lisa Beagan in Severna Park, Md., the Mobile Pet Vet. There is no waiting, driving, loading or getting hot and cranky for kids or pets, she said.

“For a lot of animals, it’s stressful to go into a strange hospital with all kinds of smells. Cats and dogs are so smell-sensitive, it’s like getting bombarded with a kaleidoscope of colors.

At home, they don’t realize they are having an exam or shots,” she said.

House calls help vets solve behavior problems, too.

Beagan had a client who couldn’t figure out why her cat was peeing outside its box. Seems the litter box was next to the cat’s pet door, and when it came through the door and went to the box, the flap on the door would hit it on the behind. Removing the flap solved the problem, she said.

House calls can cost twice as much as an office visit, but every vet is different.
