Lawrence attorney Karen A. Eager is indefinitely banned from practicing law after violating an earlier license suspension and violating rules of professional conduct, the Kansas Supreme Court announced Wednesday.

The state Supreme Court had originally suspended Eager’s license in 2012 after she did not comply with the state’s continuing legal education requirements, according to court documents.

However, Eager continued to practice law without her license at Disability Rights Center in Topeka until her termination in 2013, failing to tell her clients, opposing counsel and the courts of her suspension, as required by law.

In total, a panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys found Eager violated 10 rules of professional conduct.

The panel found that Eager’s professional misconduct in eight cases from 2006 to 2012 led to the dismissal of several of her clients’ cases.

Bicyclist, 6, in serious condition The condition of a 6-year-old bicyclist who

was flown to a hospital Monday after he was hit by a car has not changed since improving from critical to serious Tuesday, said Jessica Salazar, a spokeswoman for Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. The accident happened just before 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Sixth Street and Rockledge Road, adjacent to Centennial Park.

A preliminary investigation indicated the boy was riding southbound on Rockledge Road when he was hit in the intersection by an eastbound vehicle, Lawrence Police Department Spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday.

Lawrence police spokeswoman Kim Murphree on Wednesday had no additional information, including whether the boy was in a crosswalk.

As of Monday night, no one had been cited or taken into police custody in connection with the incident, McKinley said.

Murphree did not say whether that had changed Wednesday.

Murphree said reports “are being assembled” on the case and that they “must be approved.” She didn’t “believe there will be any details to release” until Monday, when McKinley will return to his duties, Murphree said.

Man, 20, charged in couple’s killing Wichita — A Wichita man has been charged with killing a Wichita couple during a robbery.

Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Dan Dillon says 20-yearold Steven Wade Edwards II was charged COURTS Wednesday with capital murder in the deaths of 70-year-old Martha Moreno and her husband, 72-year-old Godofredo Moreno.

Prosecutors also filed, as an alternative, two counts of first-degree murder, along with charges of burglary, theft and criminal possession of a weapon by a felon. A 17-year-old suspect previously was charged as a juvenile in the killings.

The Morenos’ son found their bodies Oct. 16 on a bedroom floor of their home.

Edwards is being held on $1 million bond. His attorney, Mark Rudy, declined to comment.

Dillon says District Attorney Mark Bennett hasn’t decided whether to seek the death penalty.

Larned lawsuit settlement OK’d Topeka — Kansas legislators and Gov. Sam Brownback have approved a $225,000 settlement of a lawsuit filed on behalf of a former Kansas State University football player who hanged himself at Larned State Hospital.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the estate of Michael Lykins sued in Shawnee County District Court alleging staff at the state hospital didn’t do enough to prevent the 43-year-old’s death in 2011.

The suit was brought

by Lykins’ college-age children in August 2013 against the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services, which has jurisdiction over the hospital.

Department spokeswoman Angela de Rocha says the death of Lykins was a tragedy and that all claims against the state have been settled.

ACLU revises gay marriage suit to raise new claims

By Roxana Hegeman

“

We are very disappointed the state has continued to play this obstruction game. The time is here to recognize the marriages as (ap) — The valid and lawful, just like any other marriage.”

Associated Press

Wichita American Civil Liberties Union revised on Wednesday its lawsuit over gay marriage in Kansas to include claims that the state is refusing to recognize unions performed in Kansas and other states.

The group’s amended complaint seeks to force the state to recognize same-sex marriages for spousal health insurance benefits, state tax filing purposes — including

— Doug Bonney, ACLU attorney for a Lawrence couple — and driver’s license name changes.

The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this month blocked Kansas from enforcing its ban on samesex marriages while the lawsuit proceeds in federal court. Same-sex couples in Kansas have since been marrying in some

but not all of the state’s 105 counties.

“We are very disappointed the state has continued to play this obstruction game,” ACLU attorney Doug Bonney said. “The time is here to recognize the marriages as valid and lawful, just like any other marriage.”

The ACLU initially

sued Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser and court officials in two counties; the latest filing adds officials with the Kansas Department of Revenue and its Division of Vehicles and KDHE’s director of the state employee health plan, Mike Michael.

City takes steps to improve Cedarwood living conditions

A

fter my JournalWorld colleague Caitlin Doornbos reported on a bedbug problem and other rough living conditions at Cedarwood Apartments, city officials have now said they’ve taken another look at the apartment complex. Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services, said inspections recently have found bedbugs in eight apartments at the complex, and corrective action has been ordered for the units.

But City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said at Tuesday night’s City Commission meeting that he wants city officials to take extra steps to ensure they find any more problems at the complex, 2411 Cedar-

Journal-World seeks release of affidavits in sexual assault cases Staff Reports

The Lawrence JournalWorld has filed a motion in Douglas County District Court seeking the release of two arrest warrant affidavits in sexual assault cases that were sealed by Judge Kay Huff last month.

Huff sealed the affidavits of two 21-year-old men charged in connection with the alleged rapes of two women in Kansas University’s Hashinger residence hall Sept. 28.

Jennifer Rapp, the spokeswoman for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office, said the office does not represent the new defendants and had no new comment.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who has vowed to uphold the state’s ban on same-sex nuptials, has said in the past that his vigorous defense of the state’s gay marriage ban is designed to get a final decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Department of Revenue, which also oversees the motor ve-

It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proved by all history that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord.

We know that by his divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world. May we not justify fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people?

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.

Lawsuit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Two men were charged Oct. 9 in Douglas County District Court with rape of a victim incapable of giving consent. Both suspects were released from jail after posting $50,000 bond, according to court records.

Earlier this month District Judge Sally Pokorny ruled that a redacted version of a previously sealed probable cause affidavit in another sexual assault case should be released to the public after the JournalWorld filed a motion to intervene in the case and sought release of the document.

After Pokorny’s ruling, the affidavit was released within days.

Pokorny had sealed the document that justified Carlton M. Grass’ September arrest on suspicion of rape after both the prosecution and defense agreed the affidavit should be withheld from the public.

After hearing arguments from the prosecution, the

defense and the JournalWorld, Pokorny ordered that a redacted version of the document be released.

“We have a court system that encourages openness,” Pokorny said. “For the general public, they rely upon the news media to tell them what is going on at the courthouse.”

cide whether district court clerks issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

The initial ACLU lawsuit was filed on behalf of two couples who were denied a marriage license in two Kansas counties.

The amended lawsuit now adds three more couples to the lawsuit who whose marriages were not recognized by state agencies.

One of the couples, James Peters and Gary Mohrman, of Lawrence, have been in a relationship for more than 30 years. They were married in Iowa in 2010. Peters, an employee of the University of Kansas joined the lawsuit over the refusal of the state to allow his spouse to get health insurance with him through the Kansas State Employee Health Plan. They were also unable to file state income tax returns as a married couple, even though they were able to do so on federal returns.

Bonney said the ACLU plans to file another motion, likely next week, asking U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree to order state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages while the lawsuit itself plays out in federal court.

Schmidt pursued and lost a separate case before the Kansas Supreme Court over a decision by a judge in Johnson County, the state’s most populous, to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

School district schedules meetings on boundary changes

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

The Lawrence school district has scheduled three meetings during the first week of December to hash out school boundary changes.

The seven-member Boundary Advisory Committee, which is charged with making final recommendations to the school board, will discuss alternatives at 5:30 p.m.

Dec. 1 in the Curriculum Conference Room of the district’s main offices, 110 McDonald Drive. Members of the public may attend but will not be able to publicly address the committee.

District officials said they hope the school board can vote on final recommendations by the (Boundary Advisory Committee) at its Dec. 8 meeting, the last of 2014.

Two meetings where the public can provide feedback on boundaries relating to Deerfield and Schwegler elementary schools also have been set. Deerfield community members can meet with school officials at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 4 in the school library, 101 Lawrence Ave. Schwegler families can meet at 6:30 p.m.

Dec. 4 in the school library, 2201 Ousdahl Road.

At the Lawrence

school board’s Nov. 24 meeting, officials agreed to hold additional meetings to explore alternative boundary changes that would impact enrollment at six elementary and middle schools.

Maps of the alternative boundary changes can be found at the district’s website, USD497. org. However, by the end of the Nov. 24 board meeting, officials were drawing over some of those maps and exploring other options.

Three alternatives gained more traction than others at the Nov. 24 meeting: l Moving fewer students living immediately north of Sixth Street out of the Deerfield zone into Sunset Hills’. Instead, the district would move students between Kasold Drive, Monterey Way and Peterson Road to Sunset Hills, as well as some students living to the north of Peterson Road. l Sending students living between Kasold

Drive, Clinton Parkway and Kansas University’s west campus to South Middle School after finishing at Schwegler. l Sending students living between Folks Road, Sixth Street, Monterey Way and Harvard Road to West Middle School after finishing at Quail Run. Public meetings for Schwegler and Deerfield were scheduled because the Nov. 24 meeting produced alternative boundary changes to those schools that had not been seen by the public before, according to district spokesperson Julie Boyle.

The BAC first made

suggestions to the school board for eight boundary changes in late September to balance enrollment among elementary and middle schools. Through the fall, the district held six public meetings to gather input on each one.

Parents raised concerns — primarily in regard to Deerfield, Schwegler and Quail Run elementaries — that touched on transportation, overcrowding and divided neighborhoods.

District officials said they hope the school board can vote on final recommendations by the BAC at its Dec. 8 meeting, the last of 2014.

BRIEFLY High prices, plentiful feed buoy ranchers Wichita — Record high cattle prices and plentiful feed supplies are making life a lot easier for cattle producers as another winter nears.

It has been a good year out in farm country as the long drought eased somewhat with summer rains. Fall crops have been good, and hay prices have come down some.

Market analyst Kevin Good of CattleFax tracks the industry. He says that for 15 of 17 years, the size of the nation’s cattle herd has shrunk.

Producers are now rebuilding.

He says ranchers aren’t “gouging” consumers and that people need to understand that it has been “a long haul” for the cattle producer.

Calf prices are running 40 percent higher this year. Prices for fed cattle are up 23 percent, while retail beef prices are up 14 percent.

Person of interest in homicide arrested Topeka — Authorities say a person of interest in a northeast Kansas homicide has been arrested in Connecticut.

Shawnee County sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Stallbaumer says the 26-year-old man is in the custody of the New Britain Police Department in Connecticut.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that he was identified as a person of interest shortly after Dustin C. McKinney’s death earlier this month at a home just north of Topeka. Another suspect also is jailed in the killing.

Reward in girl’s death grows to $7K Kansas City, Kan. — The reward has grown to $7,000 for information leading to an arrest in a drive-by shooting that killed a 10-year-old girl in Kansas City, Kan. Machole J. Stewart died Oct. 26 while she was inside a home that was sprayed by bullets from a passing vehicle.

No one else inside the home was hurt.

Her death came a little more than a week after a 6-year-old Angel Marie Hooper was shot to death at a convenience store in Kansas City, Mo. Two men have been charged in Angel’s killing.

The Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers says that the reward grew after an anonymous donor offered $5,000 for information.

7A

TAKE IT OUTSIDE After a full day of family and food, it’s easy to experience a bit of a letdown once the big Thanksgiving festivities have ended. Consider venturing out and about; there’s a lot to do and see in Lawrence this weekend.

Ice Skating Rink Lace up those skates — Lawrence’s long-awaited outdoor ice skating rink will open Friday. Lawrence Parks and Recreation will host the festivities, slated for 3 p.m. just outside the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. After a brief ceremony, the rink will remain open until 8 p.m. The cost to skate is $3, including skate rental. You may not use your own skates. Ages 3 and up can participate, though children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Nostalgia Friday Stop by the Watkins Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St., anytime from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the museum’s stress-free alternative to Black Friday. Visitors can enjoy hot chocolate while making picture boxes for loved ones or sharing favorite holiday memories on Watkins’ community board.

Everyone is welcome at this free event.

Final Friday

Downtown Holiday Lighting Ceremony

Small Business Saturday If the thought of long lines, crowds and general chaos of Black Friday gives you anxiety, stay in that day and try Small Business Saturday instead. The national campaign encourages shoppers to support local stores the weekend after Thanksgiving. With so many Lawrence merchants to choose from, you’re bound to find a winning gift for everyone on your list.

Holiday Extravaganza

For many Lawrencians, the holiday season officially begins with the “rescue” of Santa Claus from the roof of Weaver’s department store, 901 Massachusetts St. Head to the US Bank Plaza at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts at 5:30 p.m. to enjoy entertainment by Ric Averill of the Lawrence Arts Center and dancers from “A Kansas Nutcracker,” as well as seasonal tunes from the Lawrence Children’s Choir. Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx will flip the switch at 6 p.m., illuminating every tree on Massachusetts Street. Santa will then make his big appearance on top of Weaver’s, only to be rescued by a ladder truck from Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical. Once safely on the ground, Santa will be available to take gift requests from kids.

One of Lawrence’s longest-running holiday traditions, the Bizarre Bazaar, is just one of several events for this month’s Final Friday lineup. This year’s “BizBaz” will be held Friday and Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., and will offer wacky and wonderful goods on sale from more than 100 artists.

Also on the roster: Lawrence Creates Makerspace’s Final Friday Art Party, 512 E. Ninth St., featuring live music and work from more than a dozen artists.

The Phoenix Gallery and Phoenix Underground, both at 825 Massachusetts St., will host new exhibitions Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. Upstairs, Phoenix Gallery will open “Illuminated Glass,” a collaboration of local glass artists Ben Kappen, Brad Chun and Courtney Skeeba. Paintings by Elizabeth Rowley will be displayed in the Vermont Street entrance and throughout the gallery. At Phoenix Underground, Topeka printmaker Justin Marable will debut his show, “Skyward Shifts,” a collection of ethereal Kansas landscapes.

Cider Gallery’s Holiday Group Show will feature the work of John Sebelius, Kyla Strid, Jeremy Rockwell and 10 others. The exhibition, at 810 Pennsylvania St., starts at 5 p.m.

Giving thanks Thanksgiving is the perfect time to be grateful for what you have and mindful of what you can do to make life better for others.

A

t Thanksgiving, people rightfully concentrate on what is good in their lives, but it’s also a time to contemplate how we can make things better.

Hopefully, most of you will have a pleasant, peaceful holiday with good food, friends and family. Perhaps it will be a nice day to enjoy a walk or outdoor activity. Maybe the Jayhawk basketball team will entertain us with a win in Florida this afternoon. Some of you may even be giving part of your day to serve or deliver meals to those who need a little help or company this holiday.

Those are all good reasons to be grateful, but we shouldn’t be satisfied.

Americans are so fortunate to live in the world’s most diverse and tolerant nation, and yet, many divisions threaten the core of America’s greatness. Unrest in Ferguson, Mo., reminds us of lingering racial tensions that leave many black Americans feeling disenfranchised and hopeless. Political differences continue to paralyze government progress on many fronts. Issues like same-sex marriage and immigration are testing America’s tradition of tolerance.

Perhaps the most serious division is the growing economic gap between the nation’s richest and poorest residents. While the highest-income Americans are doing well, too many people are struggling to survive on minimum wage or low-paying jobs. The middle class or “working class” that has been the backbone of American society for generations is slipping away.

Rising education costs make it more difficult to realize the American dream of rising out of poverty.

We hope that all of you find many reasons to be thankful today. In the days to come, we hope you also take some time to consider how we can better practice the fairness, tolerance and compassion that should continue to define American society.

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday and the perfect time to rededicate ourselves to the principles that have made this nation great.

Happy Thanksgiving.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 27, 1914: “Thanksgiving Day in Lawrence was one of the very best if not years the nicest Thanksgiving Day ago that has been experienced here.

IN 1914 Those who have motor cars took advantage of the nice weather and made long drives. Many of the Lawrence people attended the Haskell-Oklahoma game at Kansas City and others spent the afternoon walking.”

Nation’s foibles are worth a laugh Washington — Before the tryptophan in the turkey induces somnolence, give thanks for living in such an entertaining country. This year, for example, we learned that California’s Legislature includes 93 persons who seem never to have had sex. They enacted the “affirmative consent” law directing college administrators to tell students that sexual consent cannot be silence but must be “affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement” and “ongoing throughout a sexual activity.” Claremont McKenna College requires “all” — not “both,” which would discriminate against groups — participants in a sexual engagement to understand that withdrawal of consent can be any behavior conveying “that an individual is hesitant, confused, uncertain.”

A severely moral California high school principal prohibited the football booster club from raising money by selling donated Chick-fil-A meals because this company opposed same-sex marriage.

The school superintendent approved the ban because “we value inclusivity and diversity.” Up to a point. At a Washington state community college, invitations to a “happy hour” celebrating diversity and combating racism said white people were not invited.

At Broward College near Miami, a conservative who was asking students if they agreed that “big government sucks” was told by a campus security guard that she must

The federal government, which has Tomahawk cruise missiles and Apache and Lakota helicopters, used the code name “Geronimo” in the attack that killed Osama bin Laden but objected to the name of the Washington Redskins. The Department of Homeland Security, unsleepingly vigilant, raided a Kansas City shop to stop sales of panties emblazoned with unauthorized Royals logos. A U.S. Forest Service article on safe marshmallow toasting did not neglect to nag us: It

suggested fruit rather than chocolate in s’mores. The droll Orange County Register wondered, “Why not replace the marshmallow with a Brussels sprout?” The federal government’s food police began cracking down on schools’ fund-raising bake sales: Step away from those brownies and put your hands on a fruit cup.

Niagara County, N.Y., spent $700,000 of its Tobacco Master Settlement Money not on fighting smoking but on golf course equipment. In Seattle, the Freedom Socialist Party, which favors a $20-an-hour minimum wage, advertised a job opening for a Web developer to be paid $13 an hour.

Joe Biden was off by 160,839 when citing the number of people killed in the 2011 Joplin, Mo., tornado. He said 161,000. But the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee expressed optimism about “the nation of Africa.”

Barack Obama explained the Keystone XL pipeline: “It is providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else. That doesn’t have an impact on U.S. gas prices.” Someone very patient should try to explain to him that prices of petroleum are set by a global market.

Hamlet: “Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel?”

Polonius: “By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed.”

Hamlet: “Methinks it is like a weasel.”

Polonius: “It is backed like a weasel.”

Hamlet: “Or like a whale?”

Polonius: “Very like a whale.”

Fortunately, Polonius was not among the Colorado Springs second-graders invited to use their imaginations in seeing shapes in clouds. Kody Smith said one looked like a gun. So, a behavior report was filed against the 8-year-old. A South Carolina high school student was arrested and suspended after having written a story about killing a dinosaur with a gun.

“The Great Immensity,” a climate change musical financed by $700,000 from the National Science Foundation, quickly closed. Outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, perhaps planning for wars with small carbon footprints, fretted that global warming “could threaten many of our training activities.” Alarmed by reports that global warming will cause a 4-foot rise in sea levels, California Gov. Jerry Brown warned that “Los Angeles’ airport’s going to be underwater.” It is more than 120 feet above sea level.

Because everything confirms the theory of impending catastrophic global warming, in 2005 Hurricane Katrina was called a harbinger of increasingly violent weather caused by ... well, you know.

Today, Louisianans are thankful that this was the ninth consecutive hurricane season without a major hurricane landfall.

U.S. must wake up to racial injustice In September, I received an email that should have left me feeling vindicated.

It was in response to the nonfatal shooting of Levar Jones, an unarmed AfricanAmerican man, by Sean Groubert, a white South Carolina state trooper.

Groubert would later claim he shot Jones because Jones came at him in a menacing way. But this lie was unmasked by Groubert’s own dashcam video, which shows Jones complying with the trooper’s orders until Groubert inexplicably panics and starts shooting.

That video moved a reader named David to write the following: “Think I FINAL-

“

Who can be surprised that a prosecutor who didn’t seem to want an indictment did not convince a grand jury to return one in the August shooting of Michael Brown?

LY get what you’ve been saying all along. That cop just shot him down for doing nothing more than compiling (sic) with his commands. No offence to black people, but I SURE AM GLAD I’M NOT BLACK IN THIS COUNTRY! Re-evaluating my opinions of the last fifty years.”

As I say, it should have felt like vindication. But it only made me sad. I kept thinking that, had there been no camera to prove Groubert lied, had there been only testimony from witnesses and whatever fo-

rensic evidence was gathered, Groubert would likely still be making traffic stops and David would support him, his opinions of the last 50 years unchanged.

My point is not that cameras are a panacea for justice — they weren’t for Oscar Grant in 2009, they weren’t for Rodney King in 1991, they weren’t for Abram Smith and Thomas Shipp in 1930. No, my point is that the bar of proof is set higher when white people — police officers in particular — kill black ones. My point is that rules change and assumptions are different when black people seek justice.

Knowing that, who can be surprised at what happened in Ferguson, Mo., Monday night? Who can be surprised that a prosecutor who didn’t seem to want an indictment did not convince a grand jury to return one in the August shooting of Michael Brown? Who can be surprised that Officer Darren Wilson now goes on with his life after firing 12 shots, at least six of which struck home, at an unarmed teenager while

said teenager remains imprisoned by the grave?

Who can be surprised people in Ferguson and around the country convulsed with shock, sorrow and disbelief? Who can be surprised some vulturous knuckleheads saw the calamity as an excuse to break windows and steal beer?

Who can be surprised at pictures showing that the “injuries” Wilson sustained in his scuffle with Brown, injuries that supposedly made him so terrified for his life that he had to shoot, amount to a small abrasion on his lip and a reddened cheek?

I’m glad that video helped David to “FINALLY get” what I’ve been “saying all along,” i.e., that a police officer’s mouth, to use one of my mother’s expressions, ain’t no prayer book; no source of infallible truth the way too many of us think it is. And that benefit of the doubt is something black people are often denied.

And that America devalues black life. But if we have to go David by David to those realizations, each requir-

ing a dashcam video before he gets the point, we are doomed to a long and dreary future of Fergusons.

Last year, when the thug George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, I wrote that black people need to “wake the h—l up” — organize, boycott, vote, demonstrate, demand.

But black people aren’t the only ones sleeping. Too many — not all, but too many — white people still live in air castles of naivete and denial, still think abiding injustice and ongoing oppression are just some fairy tale, lie, or scheme African Americans concocted to defraud them. Or else that these things are far away and have no impact on their lives. The fires in Ferguson Monday night suggest that they continue that delusion at their own peril.

I still think black folks need to wake the h—l up.

But white ones do, too.

shooting of Michael Brown made statements inconsistent with other statements they made and also conflicting with the physical evidence,” McCulloch said.

The decision Monday not to charge Wilson with any crime set off more violent protests in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson and around the country, fueled by claims that the unarmed black 18-year-old was shot while surrendering to the white officer in the mostly African-American city. Protests, mostly peaceful, continued throughout the nation Wednesday night.

What people thought were facts about the Aug. 9 shooting have become intertwined with what many see as abuses of power and racial inequality in America.

And media coverage of the shooting’s aftermath made it into the grand jury proceedings. Before some witnesses testified, prosecutors showed jurors clips of the same people making statements on TV. Their inconsistencies began almost immediately after the shooting, from people in the neighborhood, the friend walking with Brown during the encounter and even one woman who au-

thorities suggested probably wasn’t even at the scene at the time.

Jurors also were presented with dueling versions from Wilson and Dorian Johnson, who was walking with Brown during the confrontation. Johnson painted Wilson as provoking the violence, while Wilson said Brown was the aggressor.

One witness, who said she was smoking a cigarette with a friend nearby, claimed she saw a second police officer in the passenger seat of Wilson’s vehicle.

When quizzed by a prosecutor, she elaborated: The officer was white, “middle age or young” and in uniform. She said she was positive there was a second officer — even though there was not.

Another woman testified that she saw Brown leaning through the officer’s window “from his navel up,” with his hand moving up and down, as if he were punching the officer. But when the same witness returned to testify again on another day, she said she suffers from mental disorder, has racist views and that she has trouble distinguishing the truth from things she had read online.

Ferguson, Mo. (ap) — Some witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was face-down on the ground when Officer Darren Wilson “finished him off.” Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy or admitted that they did not see the shooting at all.

An Associated Press review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents reveals numerous examples of statements made during the shooting investigation that were inconsistent, fabricated or provably wrong.

For one, the autopsies ultimately showed Brown was not struck by any bullets in his back.

Prosecutors exposed these inconsistencies before the jurors, which likely influenced their decision not to indict Wilson in Brown’s death.

Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor, said the grand jury had to weigh testimony that conflicted with physical evidence and conflicting statements by witnesses as it decided whether Wilson should face charges.

KANSAS WOMEN 90, IONA 49

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Greene gearing for big weekend Kissimmee, Fla. — The stage is set for one Kansas University basketball player, more than any other, to have a breakthrough weekend and transform himself into a permanent rotation player.

Hint: Starting today, his favorite smell, that of popcorn popping, will fill the air in HP Fieldhouse, site of the eight-team Orlando Classic.

Brannen Greene loves the smell of popcorn, provided Greene he’s not smelling it for long stretches from the bench.

“Brannen was active and he did some good things,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Greene’s performance in a blowout victory against Rider. “He scored 17 points in 19 minutes, which is really good. “I’d like to see him tighten it, be able to guard his man a little bit better, but I think he did some good things that hopefully will give him some confidence to play some major minutes in Orlando.”

Greene’s more than a great three-point shooter.

He’s a natural scorer. But he reached double figures in scoring just once last season, when he scored 10 points in an overtime loss to Kansas State in 15 minutes, one of two games he logged that much playing time.

He looked more comfortable than ever against Rider. For the first time, he looked like a player fully understanding that if he and teammates run the offense, shots will present themselves. He knocked down 5 of 7 from the field vs. Rider, including 2 of 4 from three. He also made all five free throws.

“I was just playing within the system, taking good open shots,” Greene said. “That was pretty much it. Simple.”

Greene, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward from Juliette, Georgia, doesn’t need to be reminded of how poorly the team played in the Bahamas last year at this time. The benefits of the Jayhawks’ humiliation at the hands of Kentucky hasn’t worn off. One victory against Rider, even a wellplayed one, doesn’t erase the reality of how much better Kansas has to play for a typical season from the perennial powerhouse.

“It will be important to focus in on what we do in the games and also in practice,” Greene said. “We won’t have as much practice time, but when we get into practice, just continue to get better, keep doing what we have to do. We know what we have to do.

We know where we need to make improvements from (the Rider game). And we do have improvements we need to make from tonight, so we’ll just keep working.”

The harder Greene works, the more he plays.

The more he plays within the system, the more Kansas scores. He’s a big key to the season.

Jayhawks put it all together in convincing victory

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sometimes basketball really is a simple game — shoot, pass, score, rebound, win.

Wednesday night was one of those times for the Kansas University women’s basketball team, which rocked Iona, 90-49, at Allen Fieldhouse.

The scoreboard was not the only place the Jayhawks (5-1) crushed the Gaels on Wednesday.

Kansas out-rebounded Iona 46-28, scored 23 points off IU turnovers, compared to just nine for the Gaels, picked up 20 second-chance points compared to just six for the Gaels and also saw

its bench outscore Iona 4913.

Kansas finished with a 3016 edge in points in the paint and a 23-4 advantage in the assist department.

Even with all of those lopsided stats, the thing KU coach Bonnie Henrickson was most pleased about was her team’s strong showing in

the second half. After holding a 40-12 lead at the break, KU added 50 points.

“We’ve had big leads and lost them in the second half already this year,” Henrickson said. “And it was good to see us continue to play well in the second half tonight.”

Self: Tourney title a priority

KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. takes the ball up court followed by Kelly Oubre Jr., left, and Landen Lucas on Wednesday in Kissimmee, Florida.

Kissimmee, Fla. — Bill Self would like to see Kansas University’s basketball players hoist a trophy after playing three games this week in the Orlando Classic.

“We need to win a tournament,” Self, KU’s 12thyear coach, said Wednesday after practice at HP Field House, site of today’s 1:30 p.m., first-round game against Rhode Island.

“We won the CBE and won Vegas a couple of

times. It would be nice to win a field-of-eight tournament. I don’t know if we’ve won one of those in a while.

I know we never won in Maui. We didn’t win Atlantis (last year) so it’d be nice to win this one,” Self added.

KU won two games and the title at the CBE in 2012 in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Jayhawks also went 2-0 to win the Las Vegas Invitational in both 2006 and 2010. But like Self said, the Jayhawks haven’t won in two tries in Maui

and last year struggled to a 2-1 mark at the Battle 4 Atlantis.

KU beat Wake Forest, 8778, then fell to Villanova, 6359, and looked lethargic in a 67-63 win over UTEP in a consolation game at the Bahamas resort.

The last eight-team tournament KU won was the 1999 Great Alaska Shootout.

“We’ll probably have a talk about that stuff today,” Self said. “We’ve talked about it some. I’m going to

Kansas volleyball sweeps West Virginia

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It wasn’t always as easy as it looked for Kansas University’s volleyball team on Wednesday in a straight-set, 25-19, 25-23, 25-15 victory over West Virginia.

In the second set, the Jayhawks dominated play, jumping to a 20-8 lead before the Mountaineers scored the next 10 points and 13 of the next 14.

Eventually, KU found itself trailing 23-22 without any timeouts left. That’s when sophomore Tayler Soucie rose up for a kill to tie the score, then freshman

Kelsie Payne checked in off the bench and ended any chance of an upset bid with a block and set-winning kill that pumped up the crowd of 1,282.

“I wanted it to be over, so I made it happen,” said Payne with a wide smile, who finished with 10 kills and a .692 attack percentage. She also added three blocks.

After losing in straight sets to third-ranked Texas on Saturday, the Jayhawks have shown they can bounce back quickly from losses, and they are a long way away from the team Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 12B

Last year was quite frustrating in the Bahamas because ...

“We didn’t get better.

We weren’t any good in the Bahamas,” Self said.

“We probably weren’t in the best mindset to get better because I think we were pretty full of ourselves after beating Duke (in Champions Classic).

We went down there and didn’t play with unbelievable energy. We didn’t play very smart.

“I don’t anticipate us playing unbelievably smart right now because we’re not old enough to do that too well. As young as we are, we should play with that youthful exuberance each and every day.

That’s what I want to see.”

The No. 11-ranked (21) Jayhawks today meet a (3-0) Rhode Island team that is coming off a 66-62 overtime win over thenNo. 25 Nebraska on Nov. 22 in URI’s gym. E.C. Matthews, a 6-5 sophomore guard from Detroit, scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds versus the Huskers.

“He’s a natural scorer who can get his own shot,” Self said of Matthews, who averages 16.3 points a game. “They are very good on the glass and very balanced.

They’ve got tough kids, too. Our guys are going to be tough, but they’re not quite tough yet. They’ve got some seasoned guys that are tough.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS WORK THROUGH DEFENSIVE DRILLS during practice Wednesday at HP Fieldhouse in Kissimmee, Florida. and six points. Jared Terrell, a 6-3 freshman guard, scored 12 points.

“That’s going to be a key to the game, whether or not we can eliminate their extra possessions,” Self said of rebounding.

The Rams are coached

by Danny Hurley, who has a 25-33 record in three seasons, making a name for himself by signing some top players in recruiting as his rebuilding program appears to be on schedule.

“Rhode Island has beaten a good team, a very good team,” Self said of Nebraska. URI also defeated Pace and UMass Lowell. “And Nebraska can really guard. Danny knows what he’s doing.

He’s got a good staff and they’re getting guys.”

Hurley is former coach at St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, New Jersey.

“We recruited several players when Danny was coaching there. The one we got was Alex Galindo,” Self said. “Danny played a role in making him feel good about us.

I’ve known the Hurley family (including Danny’s dad, Hall of Famer Bob Hurley) a long time.

Coach Hurley and his wife sat in on home visits when I’ve done visits with some of his guys. It’s a great basketball family.”

l Selden at point: Selden is coming off a game in which he dished nine assists against one turnover but did not score while playing both shooting guard and point guard.

Self was asked if he “likes Selden at the point.”

“Like may be a little bit of a stretch,” Self said. “I think Wayne can be an adequate backup point, but I still think we’re better off if Devonté and Frank are in there.” l Tourney times: KU plays approximately 1:30 p.m., today or 30 minutes after the 11 a.m., contest between Tennessee and Santa Clara. KU has been told it will play at 11 a.m., Friday, whether it wins or loses today. The time for Sunday’s title game is not yet official.

The championship game is listed as either noon or 3 p.m., Central time. l The venue: HP Fieldhouse is a small venue that seats 5,000. It’s located in Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex.

“I like it. It’s good size, too,” Self said. “I bet it’s close to full.”

He added that the Jayhawk players would visit Walt Disney World resort on Friday night win or lose.

l Lineup not finalized: Self said he hadn’t decided on a starting lineup for today’s game. Landen Lucas and Perry Ellis opened in the frontcourt, with Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Frank Mason III and Wayne Selden Jr., on the perimeter in KU’s last game, an 87-60 victory over Rider.

“That was the first lineup we’ve had that’s got us off to a good start, so that was good,” Self said.

“I thought Landen and Cliff (Alexander) both did a good job. I thought Mari (Traylor) and Perry (Ellis) played well too.

That first half, we were all pretty good,” he added of leading Rider, 51-22, at the break. l Graham update: KU freshman guard Devonté Graham, who suffered a shoulder sprain early in the Kentucky game and sat out Monday’s Rider contest, figures to play some today, Self said.

“He practiced again today, but he’s sore,” Self said Wednesday. “We could have played him the other day, but there was no reason to. I don’t know how much he’ll be available to us, but I do anticipate him playing some.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

KU expresses respect for K-State program

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As the Kansas University football program prepares for Saturday’s Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan against a team it has defeated just five times in the past 23 seasons, the focus is on K-State quarterback Jake Waters, Wildcats wide receiver Tyler Lockett and KSU defensive end Ryan Mueller.

Stopping or at least slowing down those guys — and others — will be key for KU’s chances, and the Jayhawks (3-8 overall, 1-7 Big 12) have spent the better part of Thanksgiving week trying to find anything that will work against the Wildcats (8-2, 6-1).

But there’s something much bigger at play here, a force that has kept Kansas football in the shadows of Kansas State for several years and one that the current Jayhawks can’t help but marvel at.

“Just their consistency,” senior offensive lineman Pat Lewandowski said.

“It’s always been impressive. New players, new teams, but same output.”

Quarterbacks have come and gone. Running backs have rumbled in and out of Manhattan.

Hard-hitting linebackers and safeties have stayed for a while and then moved on themselves.

But regardless of the personnel, the talent level or the makeup of his roster, coach Bill Snyder, now in his 23rd season at KSU, always has managed to field teams that play the same style of football.

“I think their identity is just a blue-collar,

hard-working team,” said KU quarterback Michael Cummings, whose firstever college snap came in Manhattan in 2012. “They don’t make mistakes on defense. If you were to draw up their scheme, everybody’s where they should be.”

While that foundation makes K-State a tough team to contend with, a couple of Jayhawks said their familiarity with what the Wildcats run makes it easier to know what’s coming. That said, those same guys say the key is to take nothing for granted and to try to match the Wildcats’ effort, intensity, and, most important, execution from start to finish.

“It’s one of those things where you can be like, ‘OK, this may happen,’” said KU cornerback JaCorey Shepherd of drawing on past experiences against the Wildcats. “So you can just keep it in the back of your head, but you definitely can’t try to assume what’s coming. That’s when you get okie-doked and they go by you and you’re explaining yourself.”

Better weather After suffering through wet and windy conditions during last week’s lopsided loss at Oklahoma, the outlook for the season finale is much better. Temperatures are expected to be around 60 degrees at kickoff, under sunny skies with light winds.

Cummings and the KU offense struggled to get anything going against OU, finishing with just 103 yards of total offense, 84 of them coming through the air. Those totals came just one week

after the Jayhawks had averaged 30-plus points and 400-plus yards in a victory over Iowa State and near-upset of No. 5 TCU. Without saying a word, Cummings made it clear that he was looking forward to Saturday’s conditions a lot more.

“It helps that that’s the forecast,” he said after simply smiling. “It doesn’t mean that that’s what it’s gonna be, but it’s nice that it’s supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny and won’t be pouring rain the whole game.”

Beardless Ben Heeney KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR BEN HEENEY, without his signature beard, meets the media With one game left Wednesday at KU. in his KU career, senior linebacker Ben Heeney did something drastic to try to bring a little luck the Jayhawks’ way…. He shaved his beard.

The bearded Heeney 28 has been a fixture around KU football for the past couple of seasons and the Hutchinson native has been known as much for the look as his dominating play on the field.

Wednesday, at the final media session of the season, though, Heeney walked in with a fresh shave and an evil-genius Oil Changes for One Year*!! smile. Heeney said this *With any new Mazda purchase 11/27 to 11/30/14.

Thursday, November 27, 2014

Dear Readers: Today is Thanksgiving.

If you know someone who is alone today, please invite him or her to share your Thanksgiving dinner and help make the occasion truly special.

Today we’d like to run a piece that has appeared in this space several times. It was written by Judy Vekasy, a registered nurse and director of activities in a nursing home in Savannah, Tenn.

Here it is: In this season of thanksgiving and just plain giving, I have some suggestions for those who need something to be thankful for or those who need someone to allow them to give. Nursing homes are full of opportunities.

You say you can’t do

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

anything. Can you read?

Good. Read to me. My eyes aren’t what they used to be.

Can you write? Good.

Write a letter or a card for me. My hands are shaky.

Can you sing? Good.

Help me with the words, and I’ll sing along.

Can you tell me about your job? I was a nurse once myself.

Can you listen? Wonderful. I’m starved for conversation.

Take your pick from 2 parades Not every day begins with a parade! Or two. Now in its 88th year, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (8 a.m., NBC) features more than 8,000 participants, from celebrities to the lucky few who get to handle the giant balloons that distinguish the annual event. Between three and four million people line the streets of Manhattan to watch.

And, as I recall, more than half of them are in search of public facilities. Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie of NBC’s “Today” will anchor the broadcast.

Not to be outdone, Chicago hosts its own McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade (8 a.m., WGN). Look for Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider to serve as grand marshal.

Future historians will probably study how dogs began to loom so large on Thanksgiving, a holiday most associated with food, family and, to some extent, football. Now in its 13th year, The National Dog Show (Noon, NBC) shows off the finest of the American Kennel Club breeds, including two — the wirehaired vizsla and the coton de Tulear — added just this year, bringing the total number of recognized breeds to 192.

David Frei, a regular commentator on the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which airs every year on USA, offers expert analysis of the dogs, their owners and the judging process. John O’Hurley (“Seinfeld,” “Dancing With the Stars”) is the host for the 13th year. May the best pug win!

Fox begins its own canine tradition with “Cause for Paws” (7 p.m.). Co-hosted by Hilary Swank and Jane Lynch, “Paws” celebrates rescue dogs and the people who have dedicated their time to rescuing and adopting animals in need. An all-star cast joins this familyfriendly special. Too numerous to list here, they range, alphabetically, from Paula Abdul to Betty White.

Tonight’s other highlights

The Detroit Lions host

the Chicago Bears in NFL action (11:30 a.m., CBS).

A diamond deliverer dies on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

Copyright 2014 United Feature Syndicate, distributed by Universal Uclick.

BIRTHDAYS Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow is 63. TV host Bill Nye is 59.

Actor William Fichtner is 58.

Caroline Kennedy is 57. Actor Michael Vartan is 46.

Can you bake a sponge cake or zucchini bread or angel biscuits or make fudge?

They aren’t on the nursing home menu, but I remember how good they were and I would like to taste them again.

Do you play checkers or dominoes or rummy? Fine, so do I, but there is never anyone who has the time. They are understaffed around here, you know.

Do you play the violin or the flute or the piano? My hearing is poor, but I can hear any kind of music.

Even if I fall asleep, you’ll know I enjoyed it.

Once we were somebodies, just like you. We were farmers and farmers’ wives and teachers, nurses, beauticians, stock-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Nov. 27: This year you opt to walk a more bohemian, or offbeat, path.

You also tend to push past mental boundaries that perhaps you never knew existed. If you are single, you might enjoy your “unattached” status. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy a lot of quiet time together at home in front of the fireplace or out on your front porch.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You can’t seem to get enough of the social nature of the day. Tonight: Catch up with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your role could be quite important, as you might be enlisted to pitch in and make dinner at the last minute. Tonight: Finally, some time for yourself!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your mind seems to drift to family or friends at a distance. Tonight: Get into the warm, friendly nature of the day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Make an important call to a relative who might be alone today. Tonight: Enjoy some free time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could have more invitations coming your way than you know what to do with. Tonight: Touch base with someone

brokers and electricians, bankers and sheriffs and maybe a few outlaws, too.

We’re not all senile — just old and needing more help than our families can give us.

This home, whatever its name, is “home” to us, and you’re an invited guest. Please come. The welcome mat is always out and not just on Thanksgiving. I hope you will keep this and read it again in January, February and every other month of the year. We’ll still be here, and our needs will be the same.

at a distance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be quite busy, whether you have to do some work or handle a domestic responsibility. Tonight: Take care of loose ends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your natural self-expression sometimes can be flirtatious. Tonight: Make amends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Maintain a sense of humor as everything falls into place.

Tonight: Know that you can finally veg a little.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The doorbell might be ringing all day long, as family members seek you out. Tonight: Visit with those around you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could get stuck running some last-minute errands and end up arriving late to Thanksgiving dinner. Tonight: Try not to overindulge.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others could seek you out, but you’ll have your hands full doing everything you need to do.

Tonight: Let the party begin!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension seems to build around a matter that you might not be able to discuss right now.

Tonight: Not to be found.

Bradley and Keyla Morgan all shot better than 50 percent in the first half, and the Jayhawks as a whole shot 54 percent.

“That’s important for us because we have a really good big, one of the best bigs in the country,” Henrickson said of Gardner. “And then (teams)

have to pick and choose what they defend.”

Added Bradley: “When we have that inside presence, it just makes it that much easier.”

While KU’s offense was rolling, the Jayhawks’ defense may have been even more impressive, as the Gaels struggled to get anything going offensively and finished the half shooting just 15 percent, including a 1-of-13 mark from three-point range.

“They shot 15 percent and they only had four offensive rebounds,” Henrickson said.

The Gaels did not crack double digits on the scoreboard until the final seconds of the first half, when Damika Martinez, who scored a gamehigh 25 points on 9-of-21 shooting, threw in an offbalanced three-pointer with two seconds remaining to cut KU’s halftime lead to 40-12.

The Jayhawks were not quite as sharp to open the second half, but it did not take them long to get rolling. Bradley (16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Morgan (7, 5, 4) continued to push the tempo and got easy buckets in transition to build their lead. KU played 11 different players in this one, with 10 of them putting points on the board.

Up next, Kansas will play Notre Dame at noon Sunday in Uncasville, Connecticut, before returning home Dec. 4 to face Incarnate Word at 7 p.m.

Senior Sara McClinton led the team with 11 kills, including a career-high three aces. She only had served five times in her first three seasons.

Freshman setter Ainise Havili recorded 37 assists, the seventh match in a row she’s posted more than 30, which gives her 1,225 assists on the season, breaking the KU freshman assists record.

“I think we’re all coming together at the right time,” said Soucie, who had nine kills and six blocks without any attacking errors. “I mean,

the beginning of the season was a little rough. We were a little up and down.

Right now, our chemistry is hitting and we’re where we want to be.”

The Jayhawks have won nine of their last 12 matches, and are confident about their chances of earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

KU will play host to Oklahoma (20-9, 10-5) in its regular-season finale and Senior Day at noon on Saturday. A win would tie the Jayhawks for second place in the conference standings.

By Chad Lawhorn

hen it comes to putting on an old-fashioned Christmas in downtown Lawrence, local leaders are introducing some new tricks this holiday season, like horse-drawn wagon rides around beautiful South Park, ice skating on a plaza area near the new Lawrence Public Library, and vaudeville performers teaching your kids how to do magic.

The events will be part of a new Winter Wonder Weekend promotion that runs Dec. 6-7.

“We wanted to come up with an event where people would have no reason to go anywhere else that weekend,” said Sally Zogry, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. and one of the organizers of the event.

But magic? Well, parents everywhere may get a little more excited about it once they learn that the magic workshops are part of two “drop and shop” events downtown Lawrence leaders have planned for the weekend.

The events are meant to give parents a safe place to leave their children for some fun learning while parents do a little downtown shopping or simply enjoy a quiet meal.

“I’m a parent, and I thought a real draw would be if we could come up with a way for parents to shop a little bit without their kids,” Zogry said.

The first event will be from 1-4 p.m.

Dec. 6 at the Lawrence Arts Center. The event will be hosted by the people who put on the Lawrence Busker Fest, and will feature workshops in balloon art, magic, arts and crafts, and a performance featuring the Vodvill Klown. The event does include a $10 per workshop charge, and space is limited.

The second event is set for 1-4 p.m.

Dec. 7 at the Lawrence Public Library.

Bazaar

so much more than just an art show

By Emily Mulligan, Special to the Journal-World

he Bizarre Bazaar – or Biz Baz – is known as one of the premier art shows in Lawrence each year. It is more than an art show, though; it is also a local-music showcase and a bake sale.

This is the 26th year for the Biz Baz, and this year the show features about 100 artists in every nook and cranny, and on all three floors, of the Lawrence Arts Center. The majority of the artists are local to Douglas County, and for most of them, this is the only art show they participate in each year.

“You’re going to see a lot of artists that aren’t putting their stuff out the rest of the year. They are making things that you wouldn’t think of as art and turning it into art. We thrive on the wacky – we love the bizarre,” said Biz Baz co-chair and artist Debi Taylor.

The artists sell their wares on the evening of Black Friday and all day Saturday. Musical acts will perform simultaneously on two different floors of the Arts Center throughout the evening Friday and all through the day Saturday. So, shoppers may browse and buy, while the non-shoppers and those who need a rest take in the music and munch on goodies from the bake sale, which helps the artists

defray the costs of putting on the show.

“It takes most of the day to see everything you want to see. And even then, there is so much, that you may see what your friend got and say, ‘Where was that? I didn’t see it,’” Taylor said.

Many of the artists create different things each year for the Biz Baz, so it is never the same show twice.

“It’s whatever I’m into at the time, and I enjoy sharing it and hope other people enjoy it as well,” Taylor said.

She has made some upcycled dolls that she rescued from the trash for this year’s show, as well as some recycled stone tiles that she has turned into trivets.

“It is unique art that will inspire you and help you cross some names off your Christmas lists,” Taylor said.

Five of the Biz Baz’s “founding mothers,” who began the show in a living room 26 years ago, are participating this year: Nan Renbarger, Dixie Lubin, Paula Ware, Nancy Hubble and Jennifer Veerkamp. Taylor’s co-chair for the event, which takes all year to organize, is Marsene Feldt.

Admission is free, and parking is available in the parking garage across from the Arts Center.

Nutcracker ’ takes stage with its unique state twist

T

By Emily Mulligan, Special to the Journal-World

he most traditional music and dance combination of the season, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, will once again light up the Lawrence Arts Center stage in “A Kansas Nutcracker.”

The production is going back to its roots this year: the roots of “Bleeding Kansas,” the roots of the original “Kansas Nutcracker” and of course the roots of Tchaikovsky’s 1892 work.

Ric Averill, Lawrence Arts Center artistic director of Performing Arts wrote and created “A Kansas Nutcracker” in 2002. It has been performed nine times since then, each year with variations.

“The original version was set in 1856-

57 and featured the character of John Brown. Over the course of years, I keep adding things I learn about this area and history. Last year we focused on the sesquicentennial of Quantrill’s Raid, but this year we are keenly focused on December of 1856,” Averill said.

“Bleeding Kansas was becoming very important, and there were extreme acts of reprisal, sometimes to free slaves or discourage settlement.”

Lawrence historical figure Hugh Cameron’s role will take the place of Dr. Drosselmeyer and will bring the Nutcracker to Clara in the Act I party.

Hanan Misko, Lawrence Arts Center Dance School director is involved with

the Kansas Nutcracker production from the beginning this year and has influenced both musical and dance choices in this year’s show.

“One of the things I admire about ‘A Kansas Nutcracker’ is the relevance it has to where we come from,” Misko said. “What I admire about the Nutcracker are its traditional roles of music and dance.”

Misko is making changes to connect the intended dances with the composed music, such as the grand pas de deux music at the end of Act II, which this year will feature older Clara and older Kurt. The “March of the Toy Soldiers” music will be a dance of children, and

the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” will return to being a prima ballerina dance.

This year’s show will feature two new dances: one with crops and farmers that is all boys, because of an increase in the Arts Center enrollment in its boys’ dance classes; and a pointe ballet dance of society leaders that showcases the Arts Center’s experienced ballet students.

The 2014 “Kansas Nutcracker” will again have a live 12-piece orchestra performing Musical Director Jeff Dearinger’s arrangments. Cynthia Crews and Misko are the choreographers, and the cast will be the production’s largest yet, at close to 150 people.

Farmers' Market

By arley Hoskin, Special to the Journal-World

ans of the Downtown Lawrence Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market will have one last hurrah at the Holiday Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market on Dec. 13.

The Holiday Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 13 at Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive.

Karen Pendleton, owner of Pendletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Market, said the event gave local farmers one last opportunity to share their goods with their Lawrence customers.

Pendleton helps organize the market, where there are usually about 60 vendors, all of whom sold from stalls at the summer Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market.

Pendleton said patrons can expect a wide variety of goods at the holiday market, from meat to fruit and vegetables and homemade

crafts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just see everything there,â&#x20AC;? Pendleton said.

Jack and Kathy Wilson, owners of Washington Creek Lavender, sell lavender gifts at the market, including dryer sheets, eye pillows and neck comforters.

Jack said you could find something for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not male. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not female. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neutral and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Roger and Teresa Flory, owners of Flory Family Farms, joined the team of holiday market vendors last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is sort of like the World Series of the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market,â&#x20AC;? Roger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get to see a lot of our customers for the last time this season.â&#x20AC;?

The Florys sell meat at the market.

Roger said many

customers buy holiday hams, bacon, sausage and specialty cuts of meat to serve their holiday guests.

Pep Selvan, owner of BlueJacket Crossing Winery, who also joined the holiday market for the first time last year, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eager for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really impressed with the number of people who turned out and the enthusiasm of the crowd. It was a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? Selvan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sales were excellent.â&#x20AC;?

Pendleton said one of the advantages of the market was that patrons could go from booth to booth to create unique gift baskets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can make your own gift basket at a very reasonable price,â&#x20AC;? Pendleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I do all my Christmas shopping. The prices are all so reasonable.â&#x20AC;?

onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect your grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gingerbread houses at the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Gingerbread Festival.

The annual fundraiser includes gingerbread houses that accomplished architects could take pride in, said Stacie Schroeder, the area director for Big Brothers Big Sisters Big Brothers Big Sisters will auction off the top 15 gingerbread houses at 7 p.m. Dec. 4 at Abe and Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 8 E. Sixth St. The event will also include a silent auction that will feature about 75 other gingerbread houses.

Tickets to the auction are $40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We generally raise around $40,000,â&#x20AC;?

Schroeder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had houses sell for over $2,000.â&#x20AC;?

The gingerbread houses will be open for public display at Abe and Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 6 and from noon to 4 p.m.

Dec. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These creations are amazing,â&#x20AC;? Schroeder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people work on them for four to five months in advance.â&#x20AC;?

Clark Fulton has participated in the Gingerbread Festival for the past six years.

Last year he created a gingerbread carousel for the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife and I both like carousels so we decided to give it a shot,â&#x20AC;? Fulton said.

Fulton has won the gingerbread competition three times. He said he loves to plan and build a new gingerbread creation each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably my favorite part is figuring out what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do and designing it in my head,â&#x20AC;? Fulton said.

Fulton said he spends more than two months and about 200 hours on each gingerbread house he creates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of in your head year round,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really start much construction until fall when the humidity lets up a bit.â&#x20AC;?

Schroeder encourages everyone to come out and see this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gingerbread creations.

All of the money from the event will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It benefits the kids directly in our community,â&#x20AC;? Schroeder said.

brings joy of holiday to children in need

By Emily Mulligan, Special to the Journal-World

f bringing joy to children is the true meaning of Christmas, then Toys for Tots is what the holiday is all about.

Each year, Toys for Tots secures a donated storefront and sets up a toy shop. Although the shop is full of toys of all kinds, the Toys for Tots shop is missing two things: prices and kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents come in and choose things for their children. Each child gets several things, and parents by far know best what their child would want,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Jones, coordinator of Douglas County Toys for Tots.

Last year about 2,200 children in Douglas County received gifts because of Toys for Tots. Jones said there is no way to predict how many children will need toys this year.

Parents can come to the store, which is in the same location as it was last year, 4931 W. Sixth St., Suite 118 next to Eileenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colossal Cookies, and as long as they show they are Douglas County residents and bring proof of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthdates, they may shop for toys.

The toys in the store are provided by donations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either from Toys for Tots boxes

in stores and businesses around the county, or from monetary donations. Because the organization is staffed and run entirely by volunteers, 100 percent of the proceeds are used to purchase toys. All donations made in Douglas County stay in Douglas County, Jones said.

Toys for Tots has toys for children ranging from babies to age 17. Each child receives one more expensive toy and two smaller toys, and each family receives a gift to share, such as a board game or a basketball. Younger children also receive a stuffed animal, and parents may choose

stocking stuffers as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we spent $30,000 on toys, plus the toys we took in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive to do this, and toys keep going up in price,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said.

Donations of new, unwrapped toys or money can be brought to the store, or toy contributions can be placed in the donation boxes. Although all toy donations are welcome, Jones said that they preferred not to receive expensive electronics, as those are difficult to equate in value with other toys.

Anyone who would like to volunteer for the store may contact Bev Hill at 766-0104.

Adornment Art Show & Sale

By Emily Mulligan Special to the Journal-World

This year Van Go will provide multitasksers with the ultimate holiday shopping experience at its Adornment Art Show and Sale.

The sale, which runs from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 29 and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 30-Dec. 24, enables people to shop for holiday gifts, support the local economy and help mentor teens all at once.

Van Go is a nonprofit, art-based career training program for atrisk youth ages 14 to 21. Program participants receive hourly pay, and their work is sold in Van Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio, which helps cover the cost of the

program.

The Adornment Art Show and Sale gives the community a chance to purchase Van Go artwork during the holiday season.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection will include textiles, fused glass, mosaics and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wooden furniture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we have a wide variety,â&#x20AC;? said Eliza Nichols, development director at Van Go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fused glass is always really popular.â&#x20AC;?

Nichols said Van Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program not only taught art skills, but also life skills that help the students transition into adulthood.

Faith Darnell, age 26, can attest to

the benefits of Van Go. Darnell participated in the program for two years, beginning at age 15 after her mother had died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sophomore year I was pretty much kind of dead to the world,â&#x20AC;?

Darnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Van Go) gave me a reason to look at my life from a different perspective.â&#x20AC;?

Darnell currently volunteers at Van Go though the AmeriCorps VISTA program.

Darnell said she jumped at the opportunity to volunteer at Van Go as an adult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never wanted to leave,â&#x20AC;? Darnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a job.â&#x20AC;?

he Lawrence Art Guild will host its 43rd Annual Holiday Art Fair from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. The event will include 30 local artists, live music and dance and theater performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hold the holiday art fair the first Saturday of December,â&#x20AC;? said Amanda Monaghan, president of the Lawrence Art Guild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started off as a way for artists to celebrate their artwork during the holidays.â&#x20AC;?

The art fair takes place during Downtown Lawrence Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Wonder Weekend festivities. Monaghan said the art fair provides a great opportunity to shop local for holiday gifts.

Maria Martin and Loreta Schmidt will join the venders at the Holiday Art Fair. The pair make jewelry and knit wear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a high-holiday-spirit event,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

Martin and Schmidt sold their work at the Holiday Art Fair for the first time last year.

HolidayHomes Tour H

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it was absolutely fantastic,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sales were good. The audience was really receptive.â&#x20AC;?

Martin said she plans to sell some of her paintings along with the knit wear and jewelry.

Martin described the Holiday Art Fair as the ultimate Christmas shopping destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something handmade is always an exciting gift to get,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to look for something a little more unique that the recipients may not be out purchasing for themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Martin said she anticipates another great turnout for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holiday Art Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawrence is a wonderful community that is out there supporting arts,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Monaghan said she is proud of how the event has grown over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have this really awesome thriving art scene,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artists do really well.â&#x20AC;?

ealth Care Access will kick off its 10th Annual Holiday Homes Tour from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7.

This year there will be seven houses on the tour along with a holiday shop and bake sale at Smith Center at Brandon Woods, 1501 Inverness Drive. Tickets to the tour are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the event. All of the proceeds go to Health Care Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Care Access provides access to health care for the uninsured, low-income in Douglas County,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Polson, interim director at Health Care Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are their primary care provider. We also provide counseling services and wellness services as their medical home.â&#x20AC;?

Polson said Health Care Access has a team of volunteer physicians, nurses and nurse

practitioners whose volunteer service keeps the cost of health care to about $400 per patient per year.

Ten years ago, Lawrence residents Donna Osmess and Kay Henry came up with the idea for the Holiday Homes Tour.

Osmess and Henry served on the board of Health Care Access at that time. Osmess said she had seen a holiday homes tour in another town and thought the event would make a good fundraiser for Health Care Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has just grown and grown and been so, so successful,â&#x20AC;? Osmess said.

The event raises about $8,000 for Health Care Access each year.

Spectators receive a map with all the homes on the tour and can choose their own route and time frame to view the houses.

Osmess and Henry had their houses on the

tour the first year they held the event. Both of their houses will be on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already putting up Christmas trees,â&#x20AC;?

Henry said.

Osmess and Henry encourage Lawrence residents who have never attended the Holiday Homes Tour to make a point to join the festivities this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the opportunity to visit then they are missing something really special at the holiday time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have just had wonderful reviews of the event.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets for the Holiday Homes Tour can be purchased in advance at area Hy-Vee locations, Sigler Pharmacy locations and at Weaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or online at healthcareaccess.org. The day of the event, tickets can be purchased at the Smith Center at Brandon Woods.

The hoLiDay homes Tour Start at Smith Center at Brandon Woods, 1501 Inverness Drive Noon to 5 p.m.

ore than 300 Nativity scenes will fill Centenary United Methodist Church, 245 N. Fourth St., throughout December for the Festival of the Nativities.

The church has hosted the event, which is free and open to the public, for the past 20 years.

“It’s a time to come and go into a relaxed and quiet atmosphere and look at the different artists’ Nativity sets,” said Connie Hadl, chairwoman of the festival.

The festival includes a variety of Nativity scenes, a bake and crafts sale and a petting zoo.

The Nativity scenes come from 38 countries and five continents.

Hadl said the church receives donations each year.

“We really have gotten to the point where we have to be selective when we take the donated sets,” she said. “We’ve learned to build the display upwards.”

To add to the fun, Hadl said, the

church has a scavenger hunt that children can participate in as they view the Nativities. Prizes are available for those who finish the scavenger hunt.

“Kids and adults alike really enjoy that,” Centenary Pastor Daniel Norwood said.

This year the festival will include a newly donated Fontanini Nativity set from Italy.

“It’s really quite breathtaking to see all of these nativities from different parts of the world all together,” Norwood said. “Primarily, it’s just an expression of giving some meaning to Christmas.”

The festival will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday the first three weekends of December and on Saturday, Dec. 27. The petting zoo will only be open on the first three Saturdays.

The festival will also be open from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17.

A soup and chili dinner will be provided to the community that evening.

or those who really want to see Christmas sparkle, more than 50 custom-themed trees will light up Liberty Hall for a week at the beginning of December. The 28th annual Festival of Trees display, benefitting The Shelter, Inc., takes place beginning Dec. 1.

“To me, when you step into Liberty Hall with the trees, lights and music, it’s kind of like stepping into Christmas mode – especially because it’s the beginning of the season,” said Judy Culley, executive director of The Shelter, Inc., and the event organizer. “All those people have worked so hard to create those trees to help kids. It’s the holiday spirit represented.”

The trees – some of which are traditional Christmas trees decked out to the hilt with ornaments in a whimsical theme while others are reimagined tree shapes custom built for the occasion – are deco-

ing event and benefits services such as its residential care facility that houses children 10 and older who are in state custody or at risk of being so; its crisis intervention program for families; the foster parent licensing and training program; and specialized case management for at-risk children.

Proceeds from the event go toward capital improvements, emergencies and other enhancements at The Shelter facilities and programs that are not covered by other funding the agency receives.

Besides the auction party at the Festival of Trees, for the second year in a row Santa will stop by to have milk and cookies with children on the first evening.

“We serve kids, so we like to have an event that is just for kids in the community. We have the Santa party for the little kids Monday, and the auction party for the ‘big kids’ on Tuesday,” Culley said.

rated and designed by businesses and community groups, as well as a selection of themed wreaths.

There is no shortage of holiday “wow” factor.

“What’s great about the festival is it attracts new donors and those who have done it before, but regardless, there are always new ideas. To do it 28 years and still have new ideas all the time, it’s a testament to how creative the Lawrence community is,” Culley said.

The trees and wreaths are displayed in Liberty Hall for the community to enjoy during viewing hours, and during a special party on the second night, each tree and wreath is auctioned off to the highest bidder, with all proceeds going to The Shelter, Inc. Culley said that it is as important to make it a fun community event as it is for The Shelter, Inc. to raise funds. The Festival of Trees is The Shelter’s singular fundrais-

The Lawrence area offers a variety of live performances to help you celebrate the season.

Concerts from the Lawrence Civic Choir, Kansas University and Baker University are just a few of this year’s highlights.

The annual Christmas Candlelight Vespers, now in its 84th year, will give two free performances that day at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

In honor of its 40th anniversary, the Lawrence Civic Choir will sing a program of old favorites from previous performances at their annual winter concert Dec. 13 at Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave. This year’s performance, dubbed “How Can We Keep

From Singing?”, will feature classics like “The First Noel,” Rachmaninoff’s “Ave Maria” and more contemporary hits such as Vince Guaraldi Trio’s “Christmas Time is Here” from “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Another longstanding tradition, the KU School of Music’s Holiday Vespers, is marking its 90th anniversary this year on Dec. 7 at the Lied Center of Kansas, 1600 Stewart Drive.

usic, much like the holiday season, can conjure up a lot of emotions for many people. It has the power to make us happy, make us reflect and make us dance.

Tandy Reussner hopes to tap all these emotions at the 18th annual Organ Vespers Christmas concert Dec. 14 at First United Methodist Church.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stirring the Heart at Christmas,â&#x20AC;? and the program features a program of modern and traditional Christmas tunes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have pieces that may make you want to stand up and shout, and others that may bring a tear to your eye,â&#x20AC;? says Reussner, the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary organizer.

Reussner, a concert organist with more than 30 years of performance experience, will take

the stage at 5 p.m. Dec. 14 at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St. As in years past, the concert will benefit two charities. Family Promise, one of Reussnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite charitable organizations, was selected for the second year in a row.

In keeping with the theme, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds (the event is free to attend, but attendees are encouraged to donate) will also benefit the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heart Health Initiative at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important cause, says Reussner, who has witnessed several of her extended family members battle heart disease. Her mother also worked as a registered nurse in cardiac care for many years.

Reussner, who earned her musical arts Ph.D. in organ

performance from Kansas University, will be joined on stage by several guest musicians, including the brand-new Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthcare Choir, a group of female health care providers in the Lawrence area that was specifically formed for this concert.

Her husband, Dr. Lee Reussner, and LMH registered nurse Rita Lindsey helped recruit the choir, whose members range from physicians to administrative workers to lab technicians.

The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthcare Choir will sing one carol solo, then join forces with other musicians and vocalists on two other largescale pieces, followed by leading the audience in the concertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional finale, the Hallelujah Chorus from Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messiah.â&#x20AC;?

The rest of the guest roster includes a brass ensemble led

by Derk Landes on lead trumpet and Dave Swanson on tuba, with backup from KU students. Dr. Rich Galbraith, a percussionist, and flautist Carol Spring will also perform, as well as Max Mayse, Reussnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-organist at Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Christian Church, on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;four-hand, four-legâ&#x20AC;? organ duet with Reussner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to make sure the program is varied enough for a general audience to enjoy, and I try to keep in mind the different generations and backgrounds of folks coming to this concert,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Despite being officially billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tandy Reussner and Friends,â&#x20AC;? the concert is something of a family affair.

She frequently asks her daughters, Liesel and Hannah, for opinions on song selections.

The sisters, whom Reussner says

have â&#x20AC;&#x153;been a part of this concert for most of their lives,â&#x20AC;? will sing a duet together at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance.

Her parents, the people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;taught me to love music,â&#x20AC;? are sure to give their input, too, Reussner says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom will suggest pieces sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard or played recently on the piano, and my dad will listen to recordings of pieces with me,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we both get tearyeyed listening to it, we know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good addition to the concert.â&#x20AC;?

The house for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert will open at 4:15 p.m. Seating fills up quickly, as does downtown parking, so Reussner suggests arriving early. Overflow seating will be available with a live video streaming in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brady Hall.

Baldwin City’s

of

aldwin City will start the Christmas season Dec. 6 with at least three visits from Santa Claus.

The community’s traditional Festival of Lights Parade will be the big event of that Saturday, but a full day of activities are scheduled.

The Baldwin City Recreation Commission, Baldwin City Chamber, Lumberyard Arts Center, Baldwin First United Methodist Church, Midland Railway, The Pink Lady and Baldwin Academy of Dance and Voice all have scheduled events that day.

The busy day is not a happenstance, said Lucretia Carlson, who has organized the Festival of Lights since 2007 with fellow member of the Baldwin City Tourism Committee Tammy Michael, of the Baldwin City Recreation Commission.

“We figure no one is going to come to Baldwin City for just the parade,” Carlson said. “But if we collect all the events like the gingerbread house party at the Lumberyard, the soup supper at the (Baldwin First) United Methodist Church, the Santa Train at Midland Railway and all the other things, we might entice someone to come enjoy a full day.”

It’s also a way for those putting on different events to get a better bang for their buck as they can all contribute to the day’s advertising and promotion, Carlson said.

The day’s activities will include three Santa Claus appearances. The jolly red elf will be there to start the day and conclude it. In between, he’ll hop at Midland Railway train for rides that will include story telling, Christmas carols and holiday treats.

There will be plenty to entertain children from the Baldwin City Recreation

Lights Commission’s morning Breakfast with Santa at the Baldwin Elementary School Intermediate Center, to a gingerbread house building afternoon activity at the Lumberyard Arts Center, 715 High St., to the parade and its final opportunity for youngsters to meet and pose for pictures with Santa Claus.

Adults can tour selected homes decorated for the holidays, shop that evening at one of the 20 booths at a vendor fair in the Baldwin Academy of Dance and Song, enjoy Victorian carols at the Lumberyard or bid on holiday decor for their home at the art centers’ annual Festival of Trees and Wreaths.

As always, the big event of the day will be the Festival of Lights Parade. It will start at 6 p.m. after performances from students of the Baldwin Academy of Dance and Voice. The annual parade features floats, vehicles and sometimes people and pets strung with holiday lights.

“It’s all about getting lit up,” Michael said.

Michael and Carlson said they expected a longer parade this year with more local businesses participating. To that end, they have solicited participants at recent chamber luncheons, intend to establish a Internet site and are asking chamber members to vote on the year’s parade grand marshal, Carlson said.

As he has for three decades, Santa Claus will ride in the parade in the back of the Baldwin City Fire Department’s antique fire truck driven by Fire Chief Allen Craig. After helping the with community Christmas tree lighting, Santa will be available for photo opportunities with children while adults can enjoy hot chocolate and cider the BCRC and Lumberyard will provide.
