Start-ups central to economic strategy

HOW EARLY SHOULD TEENAGERS’ DAYS BEGIN?

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Helping start-up companies with grants, loans and larger venture capital investments is among the highlights of a strategic plan being proposed by the Lawrence chamber of commerce and the Lawrence-Douglas County Economic Development Corporation.

Chamber leaders are beginning to present the draft plan to community leaders and will ask the city and county’s Joint Economic Development Council to approve it at a Sept.

11 meeting. Ultimately, city and county commissioners also will be

A report released Monday from the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that high school students should begin the school day at 8:30 a.m. or later to allow teens more sleep.

lek Joyce wouldn’t have wanted Free State High School to start later in the day — even if it held the promise of extra sleep.

“If it means staying in class until 4 p.m. or later, no,” said Joyce, a Free State graduate now attending Kansas University. “I really wanted to leave FSHS by 3 p.m. already.”

Area school officials are pondering the pros and cons of later start times

after the American Academy of Pediatrics released a report this week recommending that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later so students are better rested for class.

The report said SCHOOLS that when teens, whose natural sleep cycles often prevent them from falling asleep before 11 p.m., don’t get enough

rest, they are at risk for diminished academic performance, physical and mental health issues and a higher possibility of car accidents.

“I think it is something that we could talk about,” said Shannon Kimball, president of the Lawrence school board. “But I know there are issues we have to balance when making decisions about start times for our schools.”

She said bus routes would have to be a consideration, as would whether later start times (and thus

criticized for spending too much time outside the state as the architect of anti-immigration laws across the nation, and Jean Schodorf released her returns in a bid to force Kobach to prove his claim that he spends only an average of 4.9 hours per week on his private law practice.

“There have been many questions about what he is doing, and how much effort he devotes to his personal agenda,” Schodorf said in a news release. “If he wishes to prove that he has been doing the work of Kansas, in Kansas, for Kansas, then he should be more than willing to step forward and show us what he is up to.”

Kobach said he spends about as much time in his law practice as it takes to play a round of golf.

“If a person chooses to fight illegal immigration with his spare time,

rather than play a round of golf, that’s fine,” Kobach said, adding, “She is claiming that she needs to look through my income tax forms to try to figure out how much time I am spending when I have already given her an answer so clearly. It is just a political stunt.”

Schodorf works as a speech and language pathologist with children and senior citizens in the Wichita area. She and her brother, television journalist Bill Kurtis, own and operate the Little House on the Prairie Museum located on their family farm, where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived from 1869 to 1871.

Her detailed tax returns listed total annual income ranging from $51,128 to $136,098 during the 2011 to 2013 tax years, with a big jump in 2013 mostly due to capital gains. Most of her income came from wages, along with some dividend and rental income.

Her federal income taxes ranged between $2,374 and $18,234 during those three years.

FILMMAKER WILLIAM GREAVES, left, talks with actor Harry Belafonte at the 80th anniversary celebration of Harlem’s Schomburg Center at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York in October 2006. Greaves, the Emmy-award winning producer and co-host of the groundbreaking television show “Black Journal,” died Monday.

Greaves broke ground with ‘Black Journal’ New York (ap) — William Greaves, the Emmyaward winning co-host and executive producer of a groundbreaking television news program and a prolific filmmaker whose subjects ranged from Muhammad Ali to the Harlem Renaissance to the black middle class, has died at age 87.

Greaves died Monday at his Manhattan home after a prolonged illness, according to his granddaughter, Liani Greaves.

A minister’s son born in New York City, Greaves had a diverse background that included drawing, acting, dance and engineering. He leaves behind a vast film archive of black art and culture.

Greaves made hundreds of movies, and in the 1960s, he served as co-host and executive producer of “Black Journal,” among the first TV news programs designed for a black audience. “Black Journal” won

an Emmy in 1970 for excellence in public affairs.

One of Greaves’ most widely seen productions was “Ali, the Fighter,” a documentary about the 1971 championship fight between Ali and Joe Frazier, a 15-round bout won by Frazier. In a 1991 interview with The Associated Press, Greaves recalled that his biggest challenge was getting the boxers to forget he was there.

“When Ali finally caught up with the film, he was amazed,” Greaves said.

In 1968, Greaves was selected to co-host “Black Journal,” a news magazine developed by National Educational Television that premiered two months after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The show was a mix of spot news, investigative reporting and satire with segments including a Harvard University commencement speech by King’s widow, Coretta Scott King.

asked to approve the plan.

Among the action items in the plan are the development of three countywide funds for an entrepreneurship scholarship, a revolving loan fund and a venture capital fund. Brady Pollington, vice president of economic development for The Chamber, Lawrence, Kansas said providing more financial assistance to start-up companies would coincide well with other community initiatives, such as designating downtown and parts of East Lawrence as a cultural arts district.

“That really has a chance to serve as a beacon,” Pollington said. “It is something that sends a message to entrepreneurs that says, ‘This is a place I could live.’”

Pollington said details on how the initiative should be funded and how the programs should be administered still need to be developed, and likely will be part of the discussion that the Joint Economic Development Council has on the plan.

He said the plan envisions the scholarship program providing relatively small grants to promising companies that need help with rent or other start-up expenses. As envisioned, those funds wouldn’t have to be paid back. The revolving loan fund would provide larger amounts of funding to

would happen to students whose parents go to work early in the morning and would need to find childcare for them, he said.

Kevin Kohls, a teacher who lives in Lawrence, said schools, not doctors, should decide how to educate students.

“Starting later means after-school activities start later so kids get home later and have to stay up later to do homework,” he said. “Plus, those kids who leave on activity and athletic trips before the day ends would end up missing more class.”

Eudora middle and high schools start at 8:10

a.m. But, like the Lawrence and Baldwin City districts, it has no immediate plans to alter its start times. Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal said students’ sleep habits should also be analyzed.

“Are they staying up exceedingly late either by their choice or because of work or homework or playing? What are parents doing on their end in encouraging students to have a good sleep schedule?” he said. “I think the report will certainly spawn conversation, but I think there are some factors that are not being taken into account.”

companies in the form of a loan, but perhaps at interest rates that are lower than what’s available from commercial lenders. The venture capital fund, he said, would be the most aggressive of the vehicles, with the fund taking actual ownership positions in promising companies.

Larry McElwain, the president and CEO of The Chamber, said the plan also envisions making the staff of the KU Small Business Development Center more accessible in the community.

He said that might include creating regular office hours for SBDC staff, which currently is based in the chamber offices, in some of the multi-tenant office buildings that are offering small, affordable spaces to start-up companies.

“That center already dealt with 360 clients last year, and we think that number will increase,” McElwain said. “As it does, we think it increases our chances to have new businesses take off and really grow in the community.”

The plan also includes initiatives in other areas besides entrepreneurship. It proposes to: l Initiate a study to determine the best target industries to attract to Lawrence and Douglas County. McElwain said the study might create a specific list of industries to focus on, or he might lobby for the study to more generally identify the community’s economic development

Bond set for man charged in connection with chase

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A $50,000 bond was set Wednesday for a 38-yearold Lawrence man who was arrested after allegedly leading Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies and the Kansas Highway Patrol on a high-speed chase Tuesday that ended in a soybean field.

Brien Keith Hickman is charged with criminal damage to property, driving with a suspended or revoked license, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving and two counts of attempting to flee a po-

lice officer.

Hickman was driving a Jeep Cherokee Tuesday morning when a deputy attempted to pull him over for speeding, but he refused to stop, Douglas County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Lt. Steve Lewis said.

The deputy eventually lost sight of the Jeep as it headed south of Lawrence, Lewis said.

In the early afternoon a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper located the Jeep near Lawrence Memorial Hospital, State Trooper Don Hughes said. Hickman also failed to stop for the trooper, who then pursued

the Jeep throughout town, Hughes said. The highway patrol eventually was able to stop the jeep and arrest the driver in a field southwest of town, Lewis said.

Hickman was scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon before Douglas County District Judge James T. Geowrge, but refused to leave his jail cell, said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney.

For that reason, Kunard said, George considered Hickman’s first appearance waived and scheduled his next court appearance for today.

and attorney general, agreed Wednesday that even though Evelyn Howard of Shawnee could not produce a birth certificate or a passport to prove she is a U.S. citizen, her family bible and some old census records were sufficient for the state.

Howard was initially denied the right to register even though, according to her daughter Marilyn Hopkins, she had voted in Missouri all her adult life.

According to a letter Hopkins submitted to the board, her mother was born at a midwife’s house in Schilling, Minn., on Feb. 9, 1922. After she was delivered, Hopkins wrote, the family “rode home in a horse drawn buggy with temperatures at 57 degrees below 0.�

But because she was not born in a hospital, the state of Minnesota did not issue a birth certificate. And because she has never traveled outside the United States, she did not have a passport.

As a result, Hopkins’ mother became one of an estimated 18,000 Kansas residents whose registrations have been held “in suspense� because they could not comply with the state’s new law requiring people registering to vote for the first time in their county to show proof of U.S. citizenship. “She has always voted,�

Hopkins said of her mother, speaking by phone from Johnson County. “She feels like that’s a responsibility and a duty that she has, and she has taught me in the same way to be a voter all of my years. And now that she has moved to Kansas, this is her first opportunity to vote and we find out she cannot vote because she doesn’t have a birth certificate.�

But Howard appealed the denial to the Election Board, making her only the third such person to do so since the law took effect last year.

Both of the other two appeals also were approved.

In support of her appeal, Howard and her daughter submitted a copy of Howard’s Missouri driver’s license, a photocopied page from an old family bible listing her date and place of birth, and a hospital certificate of Marilyn’s birth which lists Evelyn Howard as her mother, and census

The spring election was thrown into disarray after complaints were filed that the Jayhawkers coalition candidates spent more than $300 on food from Chipotle at a campaign event and then failed to report the expenses to the Student Senate Elections Commission.

Emma Halling, a former student body vice president, is now serving as acting president until the new election is held.

Primary saw 20 percent turnout Topeka (ap) — Kansas officials say about 20 percent of the state’s 1.74 million registered voters took part in this month’s primary elections.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach chairs the threemember State Board of Canvassers, which certified the results of the Aug. 5 primaries on Wednesday.

Nearly 351,000 ballots were cast.

Kobach had predicted 22 percent turnout. The 20 percent participation was the lowest for a Kansas primary election since 2006, when it was 18 percent.

Turnout in the last primary in a non-presidential election year in 2010 was 25 percent.

Logan County in western Kansas had the highest turnout, at 40 percent. The lowest turnout, less than 12 percent, was in Labette County in southeast Kansas. records that list Howard living in Missouri.

But even though some of the records were inconsistent — the hospital certificate lists Howard as being born in Lovedale, Minn., instead of Schilling, and the census records list her birthplace as Missouri — the Election Board agreed they were sufficient to show she was born in the U.S. and, thus, qualify her as a citizen. “As I review the record that’s in front of us, I have not observed any documentation submitted to us that is inconsistent with the conclusion that the applicant was born in Minnesota as she claims to have been,�

Attorney General Derek Schmidt said.

Schmidt also noted that even though Howard did not have a passport, the documents submitted would be sufficient for her to get one, and therefore should be considered sufficient to meet the Kansas voting requirement.

But the case highlighted the whole issue of the

state’s proof-of-citizenship requirement, which has become a central issue in this year’s race for Secretary of State.

The law was passed at the urging of incumbent Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, who acknowledged it is the central issue in that race where he is being challenged by Democrat Jean Schodorf, a former Republican state senator from Wichita. “I’m the person who brought the proof-of-citizenship requirement to Kansas law and am implementing it and defending it in court against the Obama administration, and my opponent, she opposes our proof-of-citizenship requirement,� Kobach said.

Schodorf has said she thinks the law is unfair because it requires people to prove they are innocent before they are allowed to vote. She has said that if Kobach believes non-citizens are voting illegally, it should be his burden to prove that in court.

symptoms began in February, when she started experiencing numbness and tingling in the abdomen, face and hands. At one point, she couldn’t move her lips or blink her eyes.

She’s now experiencing side effects from her medications, including cramps, weight gain and psychosis. She plans to see a specialist at the Mayo Clinic next month.

The mother of three children — ages 18, 12 and 7 — has already incurred thousands of dollars in medical expenses. Her co-workers have been raising funds for her by selling eggs, tamales and photography sessions.

A GoFundMe page has also been set up to accept donations for Zamora’s care (www.gofundme. com/d3vyug). More than $3,000 has been raised so far.

Kansas town to begin rebuilding its downtown after 2009 blast Anthony (ap) — A $3.5 million project to rebuild a downtown block of a central-Kansas community officially gets underway this week, five years after an explosion and fire damaged several businesses.

A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Thursday for the redevelopment project in Anthony, where the July 8, 2009, blaze began after a trash truck broke through pavement in an alley and severed a gas line, which exploded. The fire eventually destroyed or heavily damaged six buildings on the block.

The project, called “Anthony 100,” is expected to last a year. Plans are to build a two-story, 41,000 square-foot building with nearly a dozen storefronts, which will be completed by individual property owners, The Hutchinson News reported.

The project is being funded by a special 2 percent sales tax levied on the

“

There was so much turmoil on how things were going to have to happen; just a lot of different beliefs and opinions on how it should be done. I came in with a fresh perspective. I met with the property owners and tried to come to solutions that would meet their needs.”

The design will retain much of the historic look of the downtown but “be new and fresh,” said developer Jeff Jones of Wichita-based TruBuilding Inc., which designed the project with SPT Architecture.

While developers have talked to several potential tenants, only one owner has committed to opening a retail space, Jones said.

It took nearly a year

to get funding to clear the lots, with the process slowed by legal technicalities and disagreements on how to proceed. Jones became involved in the effort about 18 months ago, when he was in Anthony working on other projects.

“There was so much turmoil on how things were going to have to happen; just a lot of different beliefs and opinions on how it should be done,” Jones said. “I came in with a fresh perspective. I met with the property owners and tried to come to solutions that would meet their needs.”

TEN POCKET INET CORPORATION EMPLOYEES take the ice bucket challenge at the Walla Walla Regional Airport in Walla Walla, Wash., on Aug. 26.

Buckets of responsibility Social media sweep puts pressure on charity to spend right Chicago (ap) — In the couple of hours it took an official from the ALS Association to return a reporter’s call for comment, the group’s ubiquitous “ice bucket challenge” had brought in a few million more dollars.

Approaching $100 million, the viral fundraising campaign for the ailment better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease has put the ALS group into the top ranks for medical charity donations. Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week. Last year, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.

It’s caught everyone off-guard, none more so than the ALS Association folks. But they know this is likely a one-off phenomenon, and the group now faces the task of spending all that money wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group’s three main missions — but officials say they don’t know yet exactly how they’ll use the astonishing windfall.

“I think even if I or any PR person at either a nonprofit or a for-profit company had all of the PR dollars in the world to invest, no one would have come up with this idea,” says Carrie Munk, the association’s spokeswoman. “We

realize there are responsibilities that come with being good stewards of these dollars.”

Part of what’s surprising is that ALS — or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — is one of those “orphan” diseases. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes paralysis and death, and the association estimates that about 5,600 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

This campaign hasn’t exactly put the charity in the same neighborhood as giants like the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association or Susan G. Komen for the Cure — which raised $889 million, $529 million and $310 million last year, respectively.

But it’s moving into the same ZIP code now.

“People who have been in this space for a long period of time feel like it’s a dream come true,” says Munk.

In case you’ve been under the proverbial rock, here are the basic rules: Someone issues a challenge — that you allow yourself to be doused with a bucket of ice and water, like winning coaches along the sidelines.

Then, the challengee has 24 hours to make a $100 donation to the ALS Association or submit to the

water torture.

In the last month, everyone from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to former President George W. Bush has been doused.

The Internet and airwaves are awash in videos of people taking the challenge — even if they fully intend to write the check.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy says the ALS Association has, in this short period of time, raised more than many of the charities included on its Philanthropy 400 list.

“Right now, we’re really focused on reaching out to and acknowledging and thanking the over 2 million donors that have come to the ALS Association,” said Munk, the association spokeswoman.

“And also working to put a process in place to make the best decisions to spend these dollars.”

The American Institute of Philanthropy’s CharityWatch gave the group a B+ rating for spending about 73 percent of their cash budget on programs.

Analyst Stephanie Kalivas has no reason to believe that rating will need to be downgraded.

“We will definitely be keeping an eye out for them,” she says. “Hopefully, they won’t be wasteful with it.”

Some ACA plans structured to dodge patients with costly care Washington (ap) — Insurers can no longer reject customers with expensive medical conditions thanks to the health care overhaul.

But consumer advocates warn that companies are still using wiggle room to discourage the sickest — and costliest — patients from enrolling.

Some insurers are excluding well-known cancer centers from the list of providers they cover under a plan; requiring patients to make large, initial payments for HIV medications; or delaying participation in public insurance exchanges created by the overhaul.

Advocates and industry insiders say these practices may dissuade the neediest from signing up and make it likelier that the customers these insurers do serve will be healthier — and less expensive.

“It’s the same insurance companies that are up to the same strategies: Take in as much premium as possible and pay out as little as possible,” said Jerry Flanagan, an attorney with the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog.

Insurers acknowledge that people may see changes in coverage, driven in part by how the overhaul affects insurance. But they say prudent business practices, not discrimina-

tion against the sick, are key factors behind some of the trends that have raised concerns.

They point out that if customers find a plan they don’t like, they generally have plenty of additional options to choose from both on and off the exchanges.

They also note that the overhaul takes several steps to discourage them from avoiding costly patients. It prevents insurers from marketing or designing a plan that would discourage someone from applying based on their health.

It also calls for insur-

ers to chip into a pool that compensates competitors who wind up with a more expensive patient population. That lowers their incentive for discouraging the sick from enrolling.

An Associated Press survey of the nation’s top cancer centers this spring found that patients covered under the health care law could encounter barriers to access in many cases.

For instance, MD Anderson Cancer Center said it is included in the networks of less than half of the plans sold on the Houston area’s public insurance exchange.

Kawehi promises ‘wild ride’ at upcoming show

By Nadia Imafidon

IF YOU GO

Twitter: @nadia_imafidon

For some Lawrencians, Kawehi came out of the woodwork.

Vimeo selected her cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” as a staff pick and suddenly everyone (Esquire, Elle, Spin, etc.) wanted to know about the DIY one-woman band with a signature looping style, singing and beatboxing skills.

Especially in Lawrence. All publications were giving our town a shout out for her location and most of us had yet to see her play any local venues.

That changes this Saturday night at The Bottleneck. The concert is at her request.

“I really just wanted to get one in at the end of summer, like ‘hey I told you guys I was going to get one in so here it is,’” Kawehi says laughing.

Since her Kickstarter campaign was funded at more than 900 percent, Kawehi put out her third EP “Robot Heart” in July and started touring the world to perform for sold-out crowds. She was off to a private

Kawehi is playing Saturday at 9 p.m. at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Tickets are $9. party (described as a “hush-hush” event) in Brazil hours after the phone interview with the Journal-World.

“It’s all kind of a first for me,” Kawehi says.

“I’m used to being paid in beer to play crowds that are there to drink and not specifically to see me.”

Despite putting out “Robot Heart” independently, sales have been amazing, she says.

Kawehi never expected to sell out of the first shipment of copies, and she is already ordering more.

On the EP, she tunes into her sci-fi buff side as she explores the world from the perspective of a robot. Kawehi recently released a new video for single “Anthem” that reminds human beings that we can choose to be positive and to make positive decisions even when things feel out of control.

“You get tired of

writing stuff about yourself,” she says on the theme. “You want to come from a different place and try something different.”

Her husband has filmed her work for two years now, so Kawehi says she is lucky the Nirvana cover blew up when it did because she had a stockpile of other videos to back up her talent.

“It wasn’t just a oneshot deal,” she says.

“It feels really good to not have to just eat ramen anymore or just try to survive and pay the bills. This is what we were hoping for. To have this life where we can just make music all day.”

Watch her live at 9 p.m. this Saturday as she layers various vocals, keyboard and guitar parts and, of course, beats in front of the entire audience. Her set incorporates all the covers that made us fall hard for her, in addition to her original work on “Robot Heart.”

“I like to create everything in front of you,” she says. “And it will be a wild ride, I promise.”

Her music has been described as ethereal, alternative R&B, her biggest influences being Bjork and Ella Fitzgerald. Rowe’s vocals consist of high falsetto and sultry rasp, unfolding nostalgia from her childhood and poetic lyricism that touches on sexuality. As SZA, Rowe has embraced the “everyday girl” image, using music to shed insecurities.

SAUSAGE PIE

The Rennie Harris Puremovement aims to deconstruct negative general perceptions of hip hop presented by the media and introduce audiences to sophisticated hip hop dance theater. Rennie Harris founded the troupe with the belief that hip-hop can explore themes beyond racial, religious and economic boundaries and present the voice of the new generation. For a two-hour program, Harris choreographed a centerpiece entitled “Rome and Jewels” that places Romeo and Juliet in a hip hop world with mesmerizing back flips, aerials and tight dance moves.

A sausage patty with melted cheese, not sandwiched between slices of English muffin but fried inside a doughnut instead. Kind of like a jelly doughnut’s strange, savory cousin.

Where to get it: Daylight Donuts, 935 S. Iowa St. What you’ll pay: $1.79.

Bioscience win Attracting the North American headquarters of an animal health firm to Lawrence is a promising development.

T

his week’s announcement that a New Zealand animal health firm will locate its U.S. headquarters in Lawrence certainly is good news.

The firm, Simcro Ltd., plans to have only about three employees in Lawrence initially, but said in its announcement that it “foresees a rapid expansion” in the Lawrence area. That’s important not only because of the jobs that will be created here but because it helps solidify Lawrence’s foothold in the animal science corridor that stretches from Columbia, Mo., to Manhattan. Kansas University, its pharmacy school and its pharmaceutical chemistry researchers have been better known for human drug development; bringing Simcro to Lawrence helps extend that research reputation.

The three-year lease Simcro has signed for space in the Bioscience and Technology Business Center on KU’s West Campus also validates the investment the city, county, chamber of commerce and KU have made in developing that facility. The goal for the center was for it to serve as an incubator for developing technology and life-science firms. The hope is that those early ventures will decide to expand their commercial operations in Lawrence thereby contributing to the community’s employment opportunities and economic vitality. Simcro presents a promising opportunity to achieve those expansion goals. Having Simcro here also could make Lawrence more attractive to other companies that support or complement Simcro’s work.

Nationwide competition for bioscience business and development is intense. Attracting Simcro is a significant “win” not only for Lawrence but for the entire animal health corridor.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 28, 1914: “The Woodward Drug Store has changed hands. This store was years established in 1855 and has ago been in the Woodward family all IN 1914 that time. The new company will be known as the Round Corner Drug Co. and it will be incorporated at once.

The controlling interest will be owned by Robert G. Eyth and Walter H. Varnum.... This drug store is one of the landmarks of Lawrence. It was established in 1855 by B. W. Woodward, who ran it during his lifetime. It then went into the hands of B. D. Woodward who has run it since. The drug store is the oldest west of the Mississippi river and has become one of the landmarks not only of Lawrence, but of the state of Kansas.

Even non-angels have civil rights You’ve probably never heard of Claudette Colvin.

And yet, had history twisted in a slightly different direction, she might loom as large in American memory as Rosa Parks does now while Parks herself would be a little-remembered seamstress.

Colvin, you see, did what Parks did, nine months before Parks did it. In March of 1955, the African-American high school girl refused to surrender her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus.

Local civil rights leaders had been seeking a test case

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Did he shoplift cigars from a convenience store?

Did he strong-arm the proprietor? Was he a bad kid? Here’s a blanket answer: Who cares?” around which to build their fight against segregation on the buses and briefly considered rallying around her.

But it turned out Colvin had used some pungent language in defending her right to her seat. She cried and struggled against the police who arrested her. Worse, the 15-yearold was pregnant. Knowing white Montgomery would seize upon these things to attack her, civil rights leaders passed on Colvin and bided their time.

Their patience paid off in December when bus driver

J.F. Blake demanded the dignified and reserved Parks, 42, give up her seat. She said, “No,” then submitted quietly to arrest. Still, most of us would agree Colvin’s pregnancy and behavior had no bearing upon the only salient question: Was segregation wrong? Although civil-rights leaders had no practical choice but to take those issues into account, they were nevertheless irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Much as many of the questions being asked about Michael Brown are now. In the days since the unarmed 18-year-old black man was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, some of us have acted as if the important questions here are: Did he shoplift cigars from a convenience store? Did he strong-arm the proprietor?

Was he a bad kid?

Here’s a blanket answer: Who cares?

Not to deny those things are newsworthy. But they are also useless in answering or even framing the one question that really matters: Was Brown, as witnesses say he was, standing with

hands raised in surrender when he was killed? If the answer to any of those other questions is yes, they justify him ending that fateful day in jail — not lying face-down on a street.

We’ve seen this before.

The national dialogue on the shooting of Trayvon Martin came to be dominated by arguments over how he was dressed, his suspension from school and his marijuana use instead of the central question of whether George Zimmerman was justified in following and shooting him.

Now here’s one Linda Chavez writing in the New York Post that it is somehow misleading — too sympathetic, perhaps — to describe Brown as an “unarmed … teenager,” although he was, in fact, exactly that.

Meantime, The New York Times observes that Brown “was no angel.” But do you need to be an angel not to deserve getting shot while unarmed?

Some of us, it seems, need Brown to be the personification of hulking, menacing black manhood. Others, it must be said, need him to be

a harmless teddy bear. But he was, by most accounts, just a middling man of both flaws and promise, challenges and hope who was yet in the process of becoming — not unlike many kids his age, black and white. Not unlike Claudette Colvin.

Has nothing changed since 1955? Must we await the coming of the RosaParks-of-getting-shot-whileunarmed before we can address how the nation’s perception of young black men as somehow inherently dangerous too often leads to undeserved suspensions, dismissals, incarceration and death?

Shame on us if that’s what it takes. Human rights are not contingent upon character reference and background check. So it is immaterial whether Michael Brown was a bad kid. Or, for that matter, a good one.

He was a kid who may not have deserved what he got.

And that’s the only thing that matters.

PUBLIC FORUM

‘Intellectual shrub’ To the editor: As a non-resident, I won’t comment on concerns expressed in Dolph Simons’ Aug. 23 column that Lawrence might have lost its civic mojo. But I would like to address his fears that Kansas University no longer aspires to Chancellor Franklin Murphy’s hope that the university will become one of the “giant redwoods” of American higher education.

When I was KU student body president in the late 1960s, Chancellor Laurence Chalmers showed me a survey in a higher education journal listing KU and Wisconsin as the nation’s two best public universities between Michigan in the east and Cal-Berkeley in the West. In contrast, the latest U.S. News ratings put KU in the nether regions of American universities, in the company of such schools as Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri that once couldn’t hold a candle to KU. And it’s not because those colleges have significantly improved; it’s because KU has deteriorated.

The latest evidence of this decline of academic quality was KU’s recent decision to eliminate the Western Civilization requirement and adopt an intellectually incoherent, dumbed-down general education curriculum. The changes ensure that large numbers of KU students will graduate without any contact with Plato, Locke, Madison and other shapers of our culture.

Those changes dovetail with the current KU administration’s goal to raise retention and graduation numbers. Of course, the easiest way to enhance those metrics is to gut academic rigor. Instead of a “giant redwood,” KU today more closely resembles an intellectual shrub.

SYFY 55 244 122 Defiance (N) h

American ISIS fighter thought dead Washington (ap) — The U.S. is trying to determine whether a second American fighting with the Islamic State group has been killed in Syria.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the U.S. has no independent confirmation of reports of a second American killed while fighting with the militant group. “We’re looking into it,” she said.

NBC cited an anonymous member of the opposition Free Syrian Army as saying two Americans were killed in a battle last week with Islamic State fighters.

The U.S. confirmed the death of one American, Douglas McArthur McCain, who grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope and most recently lived in San Diego. by the Islamic State group showing the beheading of fellow American journalist, James Foley.

Meanwhile, new images emerged of the extremists’ bloody takeover of an air base in northeastern Syria.

In one photo posted on the militant group’s website, masked gunmen were seen shooting seven men kneeling on the ground, some dressed in what ap-

peared to be Syrian military uniforms, after the seizure of the Tabqa air base earlier this week.

The photos underscored how the group uses violence, and images of violence to terrorize its opponents, as it sweeps further into Syria and Iraq, where it has imposed an Islamic state, or caliphate, governed by its harsh interpretation of Islamic law.

U.S. economic growth at a crawl

Uzi death at gun ‘Cops’ crew member range sparks debate killed by police

Washington — The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday forecast that the U.S. economy will grow by just 1.5 percent in 2014, undermined by a poor performance during the first three months of the year.

The new assessment was considerably more pessimistic than the Obama administration’s, which predicted last month that the economy would expand by 2.6 percent this year even though it contracted by an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the first quarter.

The economy did grow by 0.9 percent during the first half of 2014.

Looking ahead, the CBO said it expected the economy to grow by 3.4 percent over 2015 and 2016, and predicted that the unemployment rate would remain below 6 percent into the future.

The economy went into reverse at the beginning of this year, reeling from an unusually harsh winter that disrupted consumer spending, factory production and other business activity.

Growth in the gross domestic product recovered in the second quarter, advancing at an annual rate of 4 percent, according to the government’s first estimate.

Phoenix — The accidental shooting death of a firing-range instructor by a 9-year-old girl with an Uzi has set off a powerful debate over youngsters and guns, with many people wondering what sort of parents would let a child handle a submachine gun.

Instructor Charles Vacca, 39, was standing next to the girl Monday at the Last Stop range in White Hills, Ariz., when she squeezed the trigger.

The recoil wrenched the Uzi upward, and Vacca was shot in the head.

Prosecutors say they will not file charges in the case.

Gerry Hills, founder of Arizonans for Gun Safety, a group seeking to reduce gun violence, said that it was reckless to let the girl handle such a powerful weapon and that tighter regulations regarding children and guns are needed.

“We have better safety standards for who gets to ride a roller coaster at an amusement park,” Hills said. Referring to the girl’s parents, Hills said: “I just don’t see any reason in the world why you would allow a 9-year-old to put her hands on an Uzi.” The identities of the girl and her family have not been released.

Beirut (ap) — The mother of a hostage American journalist pleaded for his release Wednesday in a video directed at the Islamic State group, while new images emerged of mass killings, including masked militants shooting kneeling men after the capture of a strategic air base in Syria.

Shirley Sotloff’s plea came as a U.N. commission accused the group, which dominates a broad swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, of committing crimes against humanity and President Barack Obama weighs options for targeting the extremists’ stronghold in Syria.

The Islamic State militants have threatened to kill 31-year-old Steven Sotloff unless the U.S. halts its airstrikes against it.

Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen in Syria in August 2013 until he appeared in a video released online last week

A crew member for the TV show “Cops” died after he was shot by friendly fire while filming an episode for the long-running reality series when Omaha, Neb., police responded to an armed robbery Tuesday night, officials said Wednesday.

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said 38-year-old Bryce Dion was shot once during a shootout between three officers and one suspect in a Wendy’s.

“It is as if we lost one of our own,” Schmaderer said.

“He was an incredible man.”

Dion, who handled the sound equipment for the cameraman, had been working with Omaha police on the show since June, police said.

Police said the suspect, 32-year-old Cortez Washington, shot at officers with an airsoft pistol, which looks and sounds like a real handgun, but does not fire lethal rounds.

Washington was shot and killed.

Multiple rounds were fire by the three officers during the incident, Schmaderer said.

Although the two-man crew did have on bulletproof vests, the bullet was able to hit an unprotected area on Dion, Schmaderer said.

Jayhawks will get early look at SEMO

By Matt Tait

LAWRENCE HIGH JAMBOREE

Let’s get started

mtait@ljworld.com

In a sense, the 2014 Kansas University football season starts tonight.

No, the Jayhawks won’t be in uniform, under the lights with the roar of the crowd and smell of tailgating in the air. But their first opponent of the season will be.

Southeast Missouri State, an FCS program from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, kicks off its 2014 campaign at 6 tonight against Missouri Baptist at Houck Stadium.

Because the Redhawks, who will be under the direction of first-year coach Tom Matukewicz, open their season a couple of days earlier than most teams, the KU coaching staff and players will get extra time to prep for their Sept. 6 season opener at Memorial Stadium, and KU coach Charlie Weis plans to take full advantage.

“By the time they’ve already played their opener,” Weis explained, “we’ll have that information to use on Friday, which will allow us, on Saturday, to make sure our information is up to date so we can have a big jump-start getting ready for that first opponent.”

This season marks the second in a row that the Jayhawks have had one of their two bye weeks during the opening week of the year.

Weis said that would frustrate him and his team most years. Not this year, though.

“I’d always like to play early,” Weis said. “But, in light of a couple of guys we’ve lost in the last couple of weeks (running backs Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox), I think it’s turned into a benefit for us.”

Another luxury of KU’s early off-week was the opportunity to spend more time on future opponents, as well. Weis said practice time last week was spent looking at teams on the schedule after Southeast Missouri, such as Week 2 and 3 opponents Duke and Central Michigan. This week, however, turned into a dress rehearsal of sorts, with the Jayhawks simulating their regular game-week schedule.

“All it’s done is given us more time,” Weis said.

LAWRENCE HIGH QUARTERBACK ALAN CLOTHIER, RIGHT, heads to the huddle during a football team scrimmage at the Lions’ fall sports jamboree Wednesday night at LHS.

LHS squads on display at fall sports showcase

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s fall sports jamboree gave the school a chance to showcase all of its teams to fans for the upcoming season on Wednesday.

Yet it was probably the athletes who benefited the most, as they had a chance to scrimmage in front of a crowd and learn a lot about their teams.

For varsity volleyball players, who have only had two practices since tryouts ended, they were thrilled to get a chance to play in a competitive atmosphere against the junior-varsity team.

“I love it because it helps us get a great feel for how the season is going to be,” senior outside hitter Keeli Billings said. “It helps us get a first game sort of feel going before we actually have a real game, so it’s really nice.”

There were plenty of nerves and butterflies from the varsity players, as they even dropped a set to the JV squad, but they also learned

“Yes that was so fun even though we did lose that game,” senior middle blocker Cienna Sorell said. “It’s definitely good because it lets us know what we need to work on.”

At the same time as the volleyball scrimmages, varsity boys soccer players faced off against the JV team in their final test before their season-opener against Manhattan on Friday.

“It helps a lot because we loosen up,” senior attacker Alex Mwithiga said. “We get to know how we play together. It’s like kind of a scrimmage but it helps a lot because we get to see how each and every player plays in front of a crowd.”

Green Bay, Wis. (ap) — Don’t expect to see starting quarterbacks Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers take snaps. Do expect to see running backs Jamaal Charles and Eddie Lacy wearing baseball caps on the sideline.

Green Bay It’s time for When: 6 the longshots tonight and hopefuls to make a good im- TV: CBS pression if they (WOW! want to stick channels 5, 13, 205, 213) around.

That means the game is a test for the Chiefs’ No. 3 running back job between Cyrus Gray and Joe McKnight, or perhaps it will settle the Packers backup quarterback battle between Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien.

“It’s like any position. Matt and Scott aren’t just competing against each other,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

“You have to keep your best players. They’re really competing against the other positions.”

Rosters must be trimmed to the 53-man limit by Saturday afternoon.

“This last game is important.

The young men know that,” Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said. “This will be interesting stuff.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid at one point apparently considered the Packers game an opportunity to give his reshuffled offensive line a little work.

That doesn’t appear to be the case anymore, especially with left tackle Eric Fisher coming down with the flu this week.

So tonight will be the perfect chance for Reid to check out the backups from which he needs to draw to build needed depth.

“Yeah, well, there have been some good, there have been some bad,” Reid said about the offensive line’s ability to get push up front this preseason.

He also is looking for solid backups in the secondary, and a healthy body to become the top target at receiver.

Dwayne Bowe, who has a groin injury, is suspended for the opener after getting arrested last November. Junior Hemingway has an injured hip, so former practice squad player Frankie Hammond may use tonight’s game as a chance to prove he can be a go-to guy.

Same goes in the backfield, where Gray and McKnight are looking to secure the third running back spot behind Charles and Knile Davis.

“I think they need the reps,” Charles said about the backups.

“They need that experience. I think once they get that experience of being in the game and being part of a preseason playing against a first-team defense then they’ll get comfortable.”

Though they likely won’t be facing the Packers defensive starters much, if at all.

One exception might be at defensive tackle, where B.J. Raji went down with a season-ending biceps injury in last week’s win over the Raiders. Perhaps second-year player Josh Boyd gets a chance to boost his confidence in the middle. Undrafted free agent Mike Pennel has impressed in the preseason and could use tonight to boost his case to become part of the tackle rotation.

Another undrafted rookie, outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott figures to get his most playing time yet this preseason.

The varsity football players scrimmaged against themselves, and provided a couple of highlight plays.

“To me, I get the butterflies just like I do before a game,” senior wide receiver and defensive back Zak McAlister said. “I get the rush going and all that, so it’s just like a normal game for me.

“We have more people, more of a student section, and with the band, it’s more like a game.

We play under the lights. So it’s more like a game atmosphere for us.”

In between the first and second half of the football game was a run for a few laps around the track for the boys and girls cross country teams.

Do cross country runners enjoy the run?

“I do,” senior cross country runner Leah Gabler said, who ran in a banana costume. “It

only happens once a year and it’s usually the only time that the school supports the cross country team because they don’t come to the meets, so it’s fun.”

Besides avoiding some of the midday heat they’ve been fighting against, cross country runners were just happy to get started.

“It’s a nice way to start the season off,” senior Keegan Matheis said, “and work on pushing yourself and getting speed in.”

“Just woke up and found I can put it out that I have signed with the Houston Rockets.

All glory be to God. An awesome organization #LetsWork,” Black wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night. l New Rivals rankings: KU recruiting targets Jaylen Brown and Malik Newman had their No. 2 and 3 Class of 2015 rankings flip-flopped in Rivals.com’s new list of the top 150 high school senior players.

Brown, a 6-7, 200-pound senior 6-7 small forward from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia, who will be attending the Oct. 10 Late Night in the Phog, jumped a spot from No. 3 to No. 2. Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA, Georgia, Georgia Tech and others are on his current list of schools.

Newman, a 6-3 shooting guard from Callaway High in Jackson, Mississippi, fell one spot to No. 3. He actually had a great summer, earning MVP honors for USA Basketball’s goldmedal winning Under 17 world championship team. He’s considering KU, Kentucky, UConn, Texas A&M, Mississippi State and many others.

As far as some other players who are considering KU ... n Diamond Stone, a 6-10 center from Dominican High in Milwaukee, jumped from No. 6 to 5. n Cheick Diallo, a 6-9 forward from Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, fell from No. 5 to 6. He’ll be visiting KU on Sept. 1921. n Ivan Rabb, a 6-9 forward from Bishop O’Dowd in Oakland, fell from No. 4 to 7. n Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-footer from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, who will be attending Late Night, fell from No. 7 to 10.

without recording any statistics, Bell has earned the respect of coaches and teammates for his fearless approach to the game and tenacious style.

RBs ready to go Despite the blow of losing two veteran running backs to injuries just a couple of weeks before the start of the season, Weis is not crying for Kansas.

n Late Night visitor Carlton Bragg, a 6-9 forward from Villa Angela St. Joseph in Cleveland, fell from No. 9 to No. 14. n Jalen Brunson, a 6-1 point guard from Stevenson High in Lincolnshire, Illinois, stayed at No. 15. n Brandon Ingram, a 6-8 forward from Kinston (North Carolina) High, who will attend Late Night, improved seven spots — to No. 18 from No. 25. n Late Night visitor Tyler Dorsey, a 6-4 combo guard from Maranatha High in Pasadena, California fell to No. 19 from No. 18. n Caleb Swanigan, a 6-8 forward from Homestead High in Fort Wayne, Indiana, improved to No. 16 from No. 20.

Meanwhile, Ben Simmons, a 6-8 forward from Montverde (Florida) Academy, and originally from Australia, remains the No. 1 player in the class. He’s committed to LSU. “Simmons is very versatile. He has the strength to post up and score on the low block and the skill to step out and make jump shots out to the 3-point line,” writes Eric Bossi of Rivals.com. “He is a fine passer, good ball handler and remarkably consistent. At the highest level of basketball, Simmons is currently a bit of a tweener because he lacks prototypical size and length for a power forward and isn’t a ridiculous wing athlete. But he is highly skilled, works hard and has earned his status as the top player in his class.” l Twins tattoos: Marcus and Markieff Morris of the Phoenix Suns are letting fans pick their next tattoo.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals rally past Twins The Associated Press

American League Royals 6, Twins 1 Kansas City, Mo. — Nori Aoki drove in the go-ahead run during a six-run eighth inning Wednesday night, sending Kansas City to a victory over Minnesota.

Billy Butler and Salvador Perez each drove in a pair of runs during the surge, which came after the Twins’ Phil Hughes (14-9) had stymied the Royals for the first seven innings.

Wade Davis (8-2) pitched a perfect eighth to earn his second straight win, and AllStar closer Greg Holland worked around a single in the ninth to cap a second straight late-game win.

The Royals extended their lead over Detroit to 2 1/2 games in the AL Central with their 11th win in their past 13 games at Kauffman Stadium.

They’ve won four straight over the Twins.

She really gets out of whack if we decide to use our “unpaid” time to do what we want. She says we aren’t team players if we don’t eat together. And for the most part, lunch is all about her.

Yes, it’s a show about commercials Nothing says “nothing’s on TV” quite like “World’s Wildest Commercials” (9 p.m., ABC) appearing on the broadcast schedule. It is the Thursday before Labor Day, after all.

There are three times a year when the networks salute the advertising that pays the bills.

The end of August, the week between Christmas and New Year’s and the week before the Super Bowl. But the latter only salutes Super Bowl commercials.

Chris Parnell (“30 Rock,” ‘‘Saturday Night Live”) hosts this top-20 countdown of outrageous ads, many from overseas that exhibit a more extreme take on sexuality and scatology than we’re used to here. But some things need no translation: cute animals and handsome male figures who are attractive to television’s female viewers.

Kevin Nealon hosted a similar roundup until about 2009.

The next year, I think he was replaced by Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the “Old Spice commercial guy.”

Where have you gone, Joe Isuzu?

Greg Kinnear and Miley Cyrus play an estranged father and daughter united by a shared love of music in the 2010 melodrama “The Last Song” (7 p.m., ABC Family). Adapted from a novel by Nicholas Sparks, the film was critically lambasted as an obvious tearjerker saddled with the miscasting of the “Hannah Montana” star. Cyrus was nominated for both a 2010 Teen Choice Award as Choice Movie Actress and a Golden Raspberry as Worst Actress.

“Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings) presents “Rejoice With Itzhak Perlman and Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot,” a collaboration between the violinist and cantor in celebration of Eastern European Jewish music.

Tonight’s other highlights O The search of an old house yields clues to Ichabod’s past on “Sleepy Hollow” (7 p.m., Fox).

O A traitor emerges on the live action game “The Quest” (7 p.m., ABC).

O Irisa’s destructive plan nears completion on “Defiance” (7 p.m., Syfy).

O On two helpings of “Welcome to Sweden” (NBC): a trip to New York (8 p.m.), Aubrey Plaza guest-stars as herself (8:30 p.m.).

Recently, Dad started dating a woman and has talked about various vacations they have taken and trips they are planning. My siblings don’t live around here and are not as close to Dad, so they have no idea where the money is going. Although I don’t want to get in the middle, I think they have a right to know that Dad could be paying them back in some small measure rather than using the money for vacations with his girlfriend.

I sure would want to know. — F. Dear F.: Are you sure Dad is paying for these excursions? It’s quite possible the new girlfriend is paying for these trips. You can ask him why, if he has money to spare, he’s not giving it to your

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014: This year you will gain financially if you avoid taking risks. A special friend or relationship might encourage you otherwise.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Saying,” the diabetic woman who wants to bring her own food into a restaurant. She should understand that the owners are not being rude by not allowing it. It is a health violation.

There is nearly always an item on the menu that someone with diabetes could eat or ask to have prepared in a way that wouldn’t violate their diet. — Common Sense — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

style scout

fashion from the streets of lawrence

By Ed Demasio

Cameron Gentry Iturri-Carpenter Age: 25 Hometown: Sonoma, Calif.

Time in Lawrence: About a year Relationship status: I have a close friend.

Occupation: At the moment, I’m just freelancing.

Dream job: It would have to be in the arts, such as painting or music.

What were you doing when scouted? Strolling down Mass. Street Describe your style: Usually items of clothing that my friends either get for me, I find for free or are very cheap.

Fashion trends you love: I like when it’s very obvious that a person is comfortable in his or her skin. So I like when I meet people that are clad in “comfortability.”

Fashion trends you hate: When somebody is dressed, metaphorically speaking, in skin that isn’t comfortable for them. You know, when someone follows a trend to feel included, etc. But it actually isn’t you.

Fashion influences: I get my ideas from just having fun. If it feels good to tear up a shirt, then do it. I had a friend last week who is not a barber cut my hair. The experience itself was fun, and that is the expression of what I want to look like.

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? More murals and beautiful art on the side of buildings. Less of? That’s not my place to say. The only changes I want to see in Lawrence is myself.

Tattoos or piercings: Not really. Just a single (straight) line.

What type of music do you like? Jazz, rock and roll, funk, country and even some pop music.

Tell us a secret: I have an irrational fear of being shot in a drive-by.

Dream job: I’m in school for engineering so I’d like to work for an architectural firm.

What were you doing when scouted? Grocery shopping Describe your style: I wear a lot of different styles.

This is kind of a “boho” type outfit. It changes every day. I have a wide range of clothing styles in my closet.

Fashion trends you love: I love the wide-leg flowy pants with ’70s-esque upholstery type patterns. Love ‘em! I also love maxi skirts and gray and black stuff. I stay safe with colors.

Fashion trends you hate: I don’t understand the pants that are tight at the bottom and then tight at the top. Harem pants? Yes, I don’t like them.

Fashion influences: I follow some fashion magazines on Instagram and I subscribe to magazines.

Preserving tomatoes

Options abound for enjoying summer favorite all year

A

jar of preserved tomatoes is a wondrous thing. It carries the overabundance of summer into winter, and with a few tucked away in your pantry you can have a homemade dinner on the table in the time it takes to cook spaghetti.

But, for a novice, preserving tomatoes can feel like a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Should you can your tomatoes whole? Make them into sauce or salsa first? Leave the peel on or off? Freeze them?

Everyone has a little different method, so let’s start by looking at some of the options.

First, the easiest — just freeze them. This works best with small tomatoes that you’re planning to use in soups or for sauce.

To do it, wash and dry the tomatoes, then spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Pop the whole cookie sheet into the freezer for about 24 hours, then move the tomatoes to plastic freezer bags where they’ll keep for 4-6 months.

An intermediate option — but one that I think is worth the extra trouble — is to peel the tomatoes first. While not strictly necessary, removing the

Knowing when to dwell; it’s a tricky business “There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.”

— Miguel Ruiz

I

posted this quote recently to my Facebook page as a reminder to myself to be realistic about my expectations of others. We can’t make everyone happy, right? Not everyone is going to like us, right?

It’s a simple message and one we’re told often, but it’s advice that is quite difficult to follow.

I live my life rather publicly, and with that comes a lot of awesomeness, mostly in the opportunities it affords me to meet loads of people from many walks of life. But it also comes with the knowledge that I’ve opened myself to criticism at every turn. Most people are kind enough to keep it to themselves, but sometimes it finds its way in.

The trick is to know how much I should listen to.

Is it “about” me if a friend

opportunity to apologize, to consider my actions and motives, to improve or repair.

But at some level, we have to stop taking things personally. We can’t internalize every critique or misunderstanding.

That friend is busy I know that while I am able to with her own things and had not take many things too personto re-prioritize her life. I’m ally, my day can sometimes be utterly ruined by the knowledge usually good with that sort of thing, as I hope people will be that there is bad blood out there and it has to do with me. And patient with my limitations as well. It doesn’t mean they don’t while I know that others might like or care about me; it means say, “Meh, let it go, that’s their issue, not yours,” I am guilty of they are distracted by someletting it get too much real estate thing in their world. in my head sometimes.

But sometimes it is “about” I start with, “What did I do? me. When I become aware that someone is unhappy with me, How could that have gone betwell then there’s the challenge ter?” and move to, “Forget her, of knowing how much to let she’s mean-spirited,” and back in. Being open to criticism to, “Oh, what if she’s right?” and being self-reflective are in a matter of seconds. And important. If I’ve hurt someafter this internal debate goes one, I want to know. I want an on for a day or so, it becomes

time to evaluate the friendship or consider the source. Is this relationship enriching me? Is it enriching the other person? Are there far more good times than contentious ones?

Sometimes we have to evaluate the worthiness of the complaint and ask ourselves if it is valid, at least in part, and then respond sanely and appropriately, either with apology, changed actions or simply with a shrug and move on.

I have been glad that as I age, I have less drama. I have fewer and fewer situations wherein my friends and I are anything but kind, supportive and hilarious. I strive daily for peace and harmony and I certainly don’t want to borrow trouble. I try to be responsible and effective at work, and to practice good leadership that includes listening, service and patience. I’m not always successful, but I can rest assured I’m trying.

Women have to be particularly careful to not be perceived

as “crazy” or “overly emotional” at work and in our personal lives, because any show of feelings can and will be used against our entire gender. I don’t want to dismiss the part of me that cares, at some level, what people think, because sometimes there is value in criticism. I want to care when it’s appropriate and dismiss when it’s not. Tricky business, to be sure.

At the end of the day, the solutions are fairly simple, though not easy to arrive upon.

Choose peace. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Eliminate toxicity. Sleep on it. And finally, develop the skin of a lizard. No matter what you do, you’re going to need it.

NATURAL DECoRATION

By Liz Weslander Special to the Journal-World

H

ere’s a simple homedecorating plan: Spend a lot of time outdoors, connect with your surrounding by noticing and collecting natural pieces along the way, arrange those items around your home in a way that feels good.

This is an approach that Rae Anna Mayfield-Toman has taken for accessorizing her Lawrence home, where items found in nature are on display in every room. Mayfield-Toman has always loved collecting objects from nature, and is happiest when she is outside walking, so using collections of natural objects to decorate her home is a way to extend that positive energy, she said.

Collecting items found in nature is also a bit of a tradition in her family.

“I come from a long line of women who collect shells and rocks and stones,” MayfieldToman said. “My grandma had a huge collection of rocks from all over the world in her garden. I also have things my daughter picked up and gave to me. Having those reminders in my home brings me joy.”

Mayfield-Toman’s collection of natural objects, which includes everything from shells and rocks to butterfly wings and cicada shells, is not limited to items that she and her loved ones have discovered. She also regularly scours estate sales and auctions for interesting pieces.

“I’m the weird person at the sales who will be collecting the conch shells,” Mayfield-Toman said.

Mayfield-Toman’s approach to incorporating her collection of natural elements into her home decor is both relaxed and fluid. She has an antique letterpress box that displays some of her smaller items, and she typically creates vignettes throughout the house with larger pieces by grouping them in ways that take shape gradually.

“My process is pretty organic,” she said. “Once I have enough of something, I’ll play around by mixing and matching, then I might create a setup over time as the items call themselves into place.”

Lowen Millspaugh, of Lawrence, also has vignettes of eclectic, natural items in every room of her home. Her collections include everything from rocks, crystals and sea glass, to feathers, bones and bird nests.

Many of the pieces she collected during trips, others she found in her backyard, and some were given to her as gifts.

OUTSIDE INDOORS. Rae Anna Mayfield-Toman’s home includes a wide variety of natural objects such as shells and stones, many of which she found or people gave her.

Millspaugh said that arranging her natural items throughout her home is an intuitive and meditative process, but that she likes the look of natural objects tucked in among antiques pieces, which she and her husband also collect.

Millspaugh also tends to create her nature displays using an odd number of objects, for instance, placing three or five crystals in a grouping instead of six — a piece of advice she picked up from her mother.

One of Millspaugh’s favorite nature-inspired pieces is a “chandelier” she created by hanging various found objects from an attractive branch.

“It started out as a Christmas decoration with ornaments hanging off of it,” Millspaugh said. “When I took the ornaments down, I decided I liked the branch, so I hung some feathers and crystals from it. I love it. I’ll probably never take it down.”

Collecting and decorating with found nature specimens in the manner that Mayfield-

Toman and Millspaugh have chosen is not for everybody.

Mayfield-Toman admits that some of her collections border on “creepy,” and Millspaugh mentioned that her mother is not wild about some of hers.

But there are numerous ways of incorporating natural elements into any style of home, many of which don’t even require picking up stuff of the ground.

Millspaugh’s final piece of advice: “Collect what you love.

Whatever you are drawn to.”

Here are some starting points for those looking to add natural elements to their decor: RIVER STONES

River stones, sold at most

landscaping businesses, have a smooth, neutral simplicity that can fit into nearly any motif.

Creating an attractive display of river stones is as easy as thoughtfully arranging a collection into a bowl and using it as a centerpiece.

Cairns — stacks of rocks that have been used since ancient times as markers and memorials — can also serve as a way of displaying river stones on a mantle or shelf.

WOOD

Driftwood, rustic and reclaimed wood pieces are popular at the moment and are simple to make or find premade. A mirror with a

driftwood frame would fit in to many bathrooms, and a votive holder made from a log or rustic wood is a good accessory for autumn and winter.

GLASS

Glass jars and bottles provide versatility and lend a clean feel to nature-inspired decorating. Try a collection of glass bottles with springs of greenery in them, fill jars with shells, pebble or even acorns, or simply place a glass cloche over a unique natural piece.

Replace a Delta Monitor shower cartridge

R

eplacing the cartridge on your Delta Monitor single handle shower faucet is a simple and affordable way to eliminate annoying leaks, drips and a host of other problems.

Step 1: Turn off the water supply to the shower. This is usually done at the home’s main shutoff valve. Test the shower to ensure the water is completely shut off before proceeding.

Step 2: Use a hex key to loosen the set screw on the side of the shower handle. Pull the handle off the cartridge stem.

Step 3: Remove the trim

fix-it chick

Linda Cottin sleeve from the faucet assembly by pulling the sleeve straight out and off.

Step 4: Remove the bonnet nut holding the cartridge in place by turning the nut counter clockwise. If nec-

essary, use a strap wrench or an adjustable wrench to facilitate this process. Wrap the bonnet nut with a soft cloth to protect the nut’s finish before using an adjustable wrench to loosen it.

Step 5: Remove the Delta Monitor cartridge by pulling it straight out from the wall. If the cartridge is stuck, wiggle it up and down while pulling it out. For stubborn cartridges, reattach the handle and use it to pull the cartridge outward while moving the cartridge up and down. A flat-head screwdriver can also be used to pry the cartridge away from the cartridge housing.

Step 6: Once the cartridge has been removed, use a cloth to dab away the excess water inside the cartridge housing.

Use a flat-head screwdriver or a hex key to remove the seats and springs found inside the housing base. Seats appear as black rubber circles and the springs are located directly beneath them.

Step 7: Slide a new seat followed by a new spring onto the screwdriver shaft and use the shaft to help guide them back into the cartridge housing. Press the seats down until they are level with the housing.

Step 8: Install the new

cartridge, making sure the side marked “hot” on the cartridge is aligned with the hot side of the faucet. The triangular tabs on either side of the cartridge should easily slide into the matching notches of the cartridge housing.

Step 9: With the cartridge seated properly, replace the bonnet nut, trim sleeve and handle.

Step 10: Turn the water supply back on and test the shower to ensure everything is working properly.

The ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

W

hen tree roots push above the soil surface, they can make it difficult to maintain a lawn or other groundcover. But chopping them out, piling mounds of soil over them, or shaving off the tops of the roots can impair the livelihood of the tree. To get trees and lawns (or other plants) to coexist, the best solution is to understand what is causing the problem in the first place.

Many people know that trees have about as many roots as they do branches.

When I first learned this, I had a picture in my head of a

Jennifer Smith tree’s root system as a mirror image of the top, upsidedown and underground.

Standing beneath a giant old maple in my parents’ yard made me question my own theory, though, because I could see large, old roots running horizontally at a great distance out from the trunk.

Turns out, tree roots and tree tops are close in ratio of mass but very different in growth habit.

Throw that picture of the upsidedown tree and a giant taproot out of your memory. Instead, picture a wine glass sitting on a

DEEPLY CHALLENGING. Tree roots pose a variety of issues for homeowners, and the solutions aren’t always easy.

turkey platter, something I heard from a tree scientist many years ago. The wine glass represents the tree, and the turkey platter is representative of the tree’s root system.

Tree roots are located in the surface layers of the soil because that is where the water, air, nutrients and beneficial microorganisms all live. Also, the soil is more likely to be penetrable here. If you have ever dug a deep hole into subsoil, you know that even a shovel has a hard time pushing through in some places.

Actual depth depends a lot on

individual location, but most research indicates that the majority of tree roots are in the top 36 inches of soil.

Why do roots push above the soil surface? Most often, they are in search for air and water. The roots of turfgrass and other groundcovers can provide heavy competition.

Soil also becomes compacted over time as it shrinks and swells from moisture fluctuations, gets walked on, has mower wheels run over it, and reacts to the various activities that take place in yards. When soil is compacted, water and

air movement are restricted in the soil.

Also, people often want to add soil in order to grow better grass, but grass has a hard time competing with tree roots as well as surviving in shade.

The solution: Determine whether the issue is competition or compaction. If it is competition, consider getting rid of the grass or other groundcover in this area altogether. Use mulch to reduce soil moisture fluctuations, weeds and erosion. Or, use a drought-tolerant groundcover.

If the issue is compaction, core aerate the area and/or add

compost to the soil in the area with as little disruption to tree roots as possible.

Cutting, shaving or burying roots will most likely lead to root decay and a shorter life for the tree.
