LAWRENCE POLICE HEADQUARTERS

WHAT’S NEXT?

Lawrence resident and artist Dave Loewenstein, left, says the neighborhood is concerned that information about the Ninth Street grant project is not being released. But Susan Tate, executive director of the Arts Center, right, says that worry is unfounded.

East Lawrence residents raise 9th St. concern

YES NO

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

This map shows how Lawrence precincts voted on the sales tax issue on Tuesday’s ballot to fund a $28 million police headquarters. The measure was defeated by 915 votes, 14,136 to 13,221. Most of the no votes came from east of Iowa Street. For an interactive version of the map showing precinct totals, go online to LJWorld.com/hqvote.

A project to remake a portion of Ninth Street into a unique arts corridor is drawing new opposition from some East Lawrence residents after the leader of the Lawrence Arts Center has declined to make public the application the agency submitted to win a $500,000 grant for the project. “The neighborhood is a little bit concerned about what is in there that they don’t want us to see,” said David Loewenstein, a longtime East Lawrence resident and artist. But Susan Tate, executive

uesday’s defeat of a proposed sales tax for a $28 million police headquarters has left Lawrence city commissioners staring at a blank slate on how to address police department needs. But don’t expect it to remain blank for long. “I’ve told the Friends of the Lawrence Farmer Police group that we’re still going to get this done,” said City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer who, if tradition holds, will become the city’s mayor in April.

City commissioners, though, will have to answer a few questions before they can hope to get a headquarters approved. Here are five key questions: 1. What will make East Lawrence happy? It’s clear that East Lawrence voters didn’t like the proposed 0.2 percent sales tax proposal. A look at returns shows the sales tax only carried two precincts east of Iowa Street, both of them tiny in terms of voter numbers — the Kansas University Burge Union precinct had 71 people cast ballots and the Lawrence Jewish Community Center precinct had 345. There were pockets of large-scale opposition in East Lawrence. Ten precincts east of Iowa had opposition levels of 60 percent or more.

Topeka — Political pundits and poll watchers were left scratching their heads Wednesday morning, trying to figure out how so many pre-election polls could have been so wrong. Going into Election Day Tuesday, the average of the independent, scientific polls in Kansas showed Democrat Paul Davis with about a 3-point lead over Gov. Sam Brownback, while Sen. Pat Roberts ap-

director of the Lawrence Arts Center, said such worries are unfounded. She said she has provided a “wordfor-word” copy of the bulk of the center’s application that resulted in a $500,000 grant from ArtPlace America. That document contains a vision statement and related narrative for the project, which is for the portion of Ninth Street east of Massachusetts Street. The document has been provided to members of the public who have requested it. It also was provided to the Lawrence City Commission as it considered city funding for

the project. Tate said other parts of the application — including the project budget, timeline and information about the leadership team — hasn’t been made public because the information could compromise the identity of private donors to the arts center, and also could allow people to figure out the salaries of some arts center employees. Some East Lawrence residents have argued the entire application needs to be made public, in part, because the project involves remaking a cityowned street. The city of Lawrence also likely will have to spend about $3 million to make the project a reality. The project is in the beginning stages. The City Commission later this month is expected to hire a consultant who will further refine the vision of the project, work on a design and host extensive conversations with the neighborhood and other stakeholders. But East Lawrence residents already are expressing concern they weren’t full partners in the creation of the grant application. The refusal to make the entire grant application public is adding to those

concerns, said Aaron Paden, president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association. “Things you can’t see are scary. That’s the real short version of this,” Paden said. Tate, however, said the Ninth Street project will be very open for public review. “I’m confident in our level of transparency,” Tate said. “Nothing will appear on Ninth Street that hasn’t been a part of a public process.” Tate said that means that things like new sidewalks, public art, streetscape improvements or events for the corridor will go through the normal City Hall process for public spending. Tate said she is concerned that releasing all the details requested by the East Lawrence residents could damage future fundraising efforts for the Arts Center. For instance, she said several donor names and donor amounts would be identified, perhaps against the wishes of those donors. She also said it is protocol in the fundraising world that grant applications between two private entities remain private. Releasing the application for other organizations to see could diminish the competitive position of the Arts Center if it seeks a future ArtPlace grant, she said. But Loewenstein said he was particularly concerned that the full application was

Loewenstein is a member of the city-appointed board, and he said the full application would have been helpful to him as he was trying to determine what consulting firm should be hired to oversee the project. Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard confirmed the city never has been given the full grant application. She said the city has not asked for the application, and is deferring to the wishes of the Arts Center on the matter. Stoddard said the city-appointed group expressed confidence that it had the information it needed to evaluate potential consultants for the project. Stoddard, though, said she understands the concerns of East Lawrence residents. She said the city will ensure their voices are heard during the project. “We have been very clear that we want the project to be very open and engaging with the neighborhood,” Stoddard said. “We have told people the key time for those conversations will be when the consultant gets on board. We understand the project will affect the residents of the neighborhood most directly. We want everybody to be pleased and proud of the project when it is completed.”

Harper has suggested a mix of both outside experts and community stakeholders. In an email to the Journal-World following Tuesday’s results, Harper said he intends to continue lobbying for the creation of a blue ribbon panel. During the campaign, the idea did not get much traction with city officials. But Tuesday’s results may suggest voters weren’t convinced that a new facility is going to produce the desired improvement in the department’s numbers. 3. A sales tax or a property tax?

the two major campaigns to get their voters to the polls on Tuesday. “I think that’s what it was, our get-out-the vote effort,” said John Milburn, spokesman for the Brownback campaign. “We made over a million phone calls. We had people working for the entire team — Roberts, the congressional candidates. It was a relentless effort by a lot of volunteers.” Most of the polls done in the final days leading up to the election actually predicted vote totals for Davis and Orman accurately. According to Insight Kansas, the group of political science academics who study and blog about Kansas politics, they had projected Davis getting around 46.6 percent of

said Fort Hays State University’s Chapman Rackaway in a Facebook post Wednesday morning. “They’ve had two cycles to build and refine their (voter) database.” The late surge of voters for Brownback and Roberts also spilled over into legislative races where Republicans, who already had a near veto-proof majority in the House, expanded their margin by six. They now control the lower chamber, 98-27. According to the Kansas State Library, that’s the widest Republican majority since the 1953-1954 session when the GOP had a 105-20 majority. One theory about why Republicans were better at getting out the votes on Election Day is that Orman, as an independent, had no

on Tuesday, some said they were voting for the sales tax in large part because they feared city officials would raise property taxes if the vote failed. But other voters said they would have been more likely to vote for the project if it were paid for through property taxes. Those voters really don’t like how sales taxes impact those with low incomes, especially because sales tax is charged on food and other necessities. It is impossible to know everything voters were thinking on Tuesday, but a look at the election map seems to indicate that East Lawrence and West Lawrence have far different views on sales taxes.

the vote; he ended up getting about 45 percent. But they predicted Brownback would get only 43.6 percent. The governor ended up with 50 percent. The pre-election polls also predicted more than 30 percent of registered Republican voters planned to defect and vote for Davis and Orman. But according to exit polls conducted by the Associated Press and major broadcast networks, only about 15 percent voted against Roberts and 20 percent against Brownback, suggesting those campaigns were successful in getting their core supporters out to vote. “The only working theory that makes sense right now is GOP ground game,”

WHO’S REALLY IN CHARGE HERE?

Kansas Democratic Party officials said they began immediately Wednesday morning to analyze what happened Wednesday and start making plans for the 2016 elections. But state party executive director Jason Perkey was unwilling to concede the party had done anything wrong this year. “We did everything we could to turn out as many voters as we possibly could,” Perkey said. “We left no stone unturned.” — Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222.

Topeka — Republican Sen. Pat Roberts seemed more at ease Wednesday than he has in months as he faced reporters following his re-election victory the night before, vowing that the new GOP majority in the Senate will quickly get to work on a host of issues that had been blocked by the previous Democratic leadership. After pre-election polls had shown him locked in a tight race with independent Roberts challenger Greg Orman — an average of the polls showed him trailing by a fraction of a percentage point — Roberts emerged the winner by an 11-point Please see ROBERTS, page 4A

Supreme Court delays same-sex marriage hearing By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court has delayed a hearing that was set for Thursday to decide whether same-sex marriages can go forward in Kansas. In a ruling issued late Wednesday, the Supreme Court said that a separate lawsuit working its way through the federal court system could decide whether the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage is valid and thus render the question pending before the state court moot.

Police detain masked men who disrupted classrooms at KU By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Kansas University Public Safety officers detained two men who disrupted at least two classes on campus Wednesday while wearing Guy Fawkes masks, events that led students across campus to fear for their safety. KU public safety spokesman Capt. James Anguiano said officers took the men in for questioning. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, KU public safety had the men detained, but no arrests or citations had been issued, Anguiano said. Anguiano said officers did not know whether the incidents were pranks or serious public safety concerns. In a campus

In several videos circulating on Twitter and other social media, an individual wearing a Guy Fawkes mask is seen warning full classrooms about possible consequences for the Kappa Sigma fraternity. Kappa Sigma was suspended last month after allegations surfaced that multiple instances of sexual misconduct occurred during a party at the house homecoming weekend. No arrests have been made in connection with the allegations. “We are coming for you,” the masked man said in the video. “All members who do not

dissociate themselves from this fraternity will be seen as guilty parties, and they will be dealt with accordingly.” Officers spoke with members of the fraternity following the incident, but Anguiano said Wednesday evening that he “doesn’t know if Kappa Sigma is in any threat.” Nov. 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, the day the British commemorate the Gunpowder Plot, in which conspirators aimed to blow up the English Parliament in 1605.

margin, winning in 102 of the state’s 105 counties. “I would think the first thing we would do for the first time in six years is we will pass a budget,” Roberts said. “Second, we will do our appropriations bills — that’s the spending bills. You can use that to rein in spending of course, but you can also target things from various agencies where you think there’s a regulation that you think is completely unreasonable and just take their money away. That does tend to get their attention.” As the ranking Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee, Roberts is in line to become the next chairman of that panel. During the campaign, he was harshly criticized by Orman for failing to show up at most of the committee’s hearings and for voting against the latest version of the Farm Bill. During his news conference, though, Roberts said there had not been much reason for him to attend because the Democratic majority would not allow Republican amendments to bills. And while he said he does not expect any major changes to the Farm Bill, which funds crop insurance, crop subsidies and other farm programs, he does plan to tackle other issues affecting agriculture, including environmental policy. “When we care more about a prairie chicken than we do farmers and ranchers or their oil and gas production that is there on that land, I think we have to change our priorities,” he said. On health care, Roberts said Republicans would soon pass a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but he conceded the President

I would think the first thing we would do for the first time in six years is we will pass a budget. Second, we will do our appropriations bills — that’s the spending bills. You can use that to rein in spending of course, but you can also target things from various agencies where you think there’s a regulation that you think is completely unreasonable and just take their money away. That does tend to get their attention.” — Sen. Pat Roberts

Barack Obama would not sign it. From there, he said, the GOP plans to tackle specific health care issues, including reimbursements to rural hospitals. “I don’t know how many speeches I would make on the Senate floor about my concern with Obamacare and how 73 critical access hospitals are not getting the proper Medicare reimbursement,” Roberts said. “We stand in danger of losing those.” One of the trade-offs in the Affordable Care Act was meant to help pay for subsidized insurance for individuals was a reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates to hospitals. That was supposed to be offset by reductions in the amount of “uncompensated care” they provide because most individuals would be covered by either Medicaid or private insurance. But the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the mandate that states expand their Medicaid programs, saying the federal government could only make that an option. Kansas, under Gov. Sam Brownback and the Republican-dominated Legislature, has declined to take part in the Medicaid expansion, meaning hospitals are seeing the reduced Medicare rates but not any increase in payments by Medicaid or private insurance. Roberts, however, re-

fused to criticize the Brownback administration for that decision, while insisting that Medicare reimbursement rates still need to be restored. Roberts also serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, or HELP Committee, which oversees education policy, including the federal law currently known as No Child Left Behind. That law, which directs federal funding for special education, Title I schools and a host of other programs, was scheduled for reauthorization in 2007 at the end of the George W. Bush administration, but neither chamber of Congress has been able to reach agreement on a new bill. As a result, the Obama administration began offering states waivers from the requirements of that law if they were willing to adopt other reform initiatives, including requirements that teacher evaluations be tied to student achievement. Roberts said that’s an area that the HELP Committee, under its presumed new chairman, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, will tackle quickly. “I think that Mr. Alexander knows that is absolutely crucial, and as a member of that committee, I know it as well,” he said.

Anguiano said the investigation is ongoing and those with information are asked to contact KU police at 864-5900.

SINGER-SONGWRITER LUCINDA WILLIAMS will be performing at 8 p.m. Friday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.

CLOSE TO THE BONE ——————————

Lucinda Williams digs deep into Southern roots, family history in new album

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

ucinda Williams is a “gypsy at heart.” That’s how the country singer-songwriter describes herself during a chilly, overcast afternoon in Oklahoma City — more than 1,000 miles from her home base of Los Angeles — earlier this week. Williams, who kicked off a month-long tour Sunday in Denver, had just stopped in the Sooner State to let her bus driver get some sleep before continuing on to Austin. At 8 p.m. Friday, Williams will make a stop at Liberty Hall, playing songs from her latest album, the critically acclaimed “Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone.” But at just after 4 p.m. Tuesday, she’s barely emerged from her own nap, and could use a little pickme-up. “Sorry, I’m kind of in the middle of something,” says the 61-year-old Williams, her voice cracking over the phone. “I just got up and I need some tea, and the kettle isn’t working.” Life on the road can wear you out, Williams says, but

she’s used to it. The daughter of acclaimed poet and professor Miller Williams, she spent her childhood hopping from one Southern college town to the next, even relocating to Santiago, Chile, and Mexico City for one-year spans during her adolescence. “Other kids might not have (liked it), but I don’t recall it ever being a problem for me,” Williams says of the frequent moves. “It was sort of an adventure, you know. I think it really broadened my horizons.” Williams revisits her unconventional upbringing on “Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone,” which was released in September. The double album is Williams’ first release on her own Highway 20 Records, itself a reference to the route that connects the Southern communities in Georgia and Mississippi that Williams grew up in. The album is a walk down memory lane for Williams, who conjures up some swampy, spooky imagery in “Something Wicked This

IF YOU GO What: Lucinda Williams concert Where: Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. When: Doors open at 7 p.m. Friday. The show starts at 8 p.m. Cost: Tickets cost $29.50 for the upper balcony only, and $35.50 for the floor and lower balcony. They can be purchased online or at the Liberty Hall box office.

Way Comes,” a hellfire-andbrimstone number influenced partly by her family’s religious background (both grandfathers were Methodist ministers) and her longtime literary heroine, Flannery O’Connor. When Williams was 4 years old, she and her father — a mentee of O’Connor — visited the famous Southern Gothic writer at her farm in Milledgeville, Ga. “She raised peacocks, and according to my dad, I was running around chasing the peacocks,” Williams recalls with a laugh.

About a few years later, a teenage Williams read O’Connor’s works for the first time and fell in love with the grotesque, flawed characters that Williams says felt familiar to her as a young girl in the Deep South. She also cites fellow Southerners Eudora Welty and Carson McCullers as major influences. But no writer has a bigger presence on the album than Williams’ father, whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis about five years ago inspired her efforts to finally rework one of his poems into a song. The result, “Compassion,” shares its title with the Miller Williams work that inspired it. “It’s a tribute to my dad,” says Williams, who admits she’s been meaning to tackle the project of adapting his work for years. “It’s hard to take a poem and turn it into a song.” Though he didn’t give any input during the making of the song, Williams said Miller was pleased with the results. The first time she played the song for him, Williams was performing at a music

festival in his hometown of Fayetteville, Ark. Her 84-year-old father couldn’t make it, so she and her husband, manager Tom Overby, put on a “little concert” for him at home. Surrounded by a handful of close friends, Miller read his poem before his daughter sang its musical adaptation. “It made him feel good,” Williams says simply. The song lends one of its lines to the name of the album. “You can’t get much deeper than that,” Williams says of “Where the Spirit Meets the Bone.” These days, Miller is doing well, generally speaking — he still recognizes people, William says. His disease, however, has taken away his ability to write poetry. It’s especially poignant, then, that Williams includes a message to her father in the liner notes of the album: “As Flannery O’Connor was to you, you were my greatest teacher,” she writes. “Thank you.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld.com and 832-6388.

Opinion

EDITORIALS

Election message The election is over; it’s time to move forward.

“M

y name is not on the ballot but my policies are … every one of them.” President Obama repeated this message time after time prior to Tuesday’s election, and it’s clear voters in Kansas and throughout the nation got the message loud and clear. Most Americans, most Kansans, are tired and/or scared of Obama policies and they delivered a punishing blow to the president in state after state in Senate, House and gubernatorial elections. In Kansas, Democratic candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, Paul Davis of Lawrence and Jill Docking of Wichita, both strong, active and early supporters of Obama, were defeated by incumbent Sam Brownback. In the Senate race, Greg Orman tried to straddle the fence by running as an independent, but voters understood he had been a Democratic hopeful in the 2008 Senate race and had hoped to play the role of a king maker if elected. Incumbent Roberts surprised many by running away with the race against Orman. It will be interesting to see what the hundred or so former Republican leaders who made much of their disgust of and opposition to Brownback now have to say about the election. Undoubtedly, many of them thought Davis was a sure winner and their support might put them in line for special attention when a victorious Davis was handing out “thank-yous” in the way of appointive positions or favorable legislation. It is not surprising the Davis-Docking ticket and the Senate bid by Greg Orman received overwhelming support from Douglas County voters. As some in Lawrence seem so proud of saying, “You’re not in Kansas when you live in Lawrence.” With electioneering over, now is the time for Brownback to perform in a manner that merits the respect of all Kansans, to set high goals for the state and its residents, work cooperatively and respectfully with those in the Kansas Legislature and put together four years of positive, productive and constructive leadership. If some of his plans are not working out, he shouldn’t hesitate to modify or change his course. Competition from other states is sure to be intense, but there is no reason Kansas cannot be a leader, setting high standards for others to try to match. The same is true at the national level. Republicans now will control both the Senate and the House and they have two years to show the public they can put together a sound, positive legislative blueprint and work to develop respectful and cooperative relationships with Democratic legislators. This is no time to try to pick a fight with Obama, but rather to work for what is best for the country. It’s clear the majority of Americans do not approve of the Obama agenda and the current position of the United States in domestic and foreign affairs. This being the case, there are likely to be severe differences between what those in the White House want and what GOP leaders in Congress want. Nevertheless, Republican leaders have the opportunity to show the public what they can accomplish for the good of the country and set the stage for a strong position in the 2016 legislative and presidential elections. Now is not the time for Republicans or those who support the Republican agenda to gloat over election results. Now is the time for GOP leaders to get to work, both in Topeka and in Washington, as well as in all the other states where Republicans are in leadership positions. It’s a rare opportunity, which should not be — and cannot be — squandered. The name-calling, vicious, mean-spirited campaigning should be over. It’s time to be guided by what’s best for the country.

First steps for the GOP Congress Washington — Unlike the dog that chased the car until, to its consternation, he caught it, Republicans know what do with what they have caught. Having completed their capture of control of the legislative branch, they should start with the following six measures concerning practical governance and constitutional equilibrium: l Abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This creature of the labyrinthine Dodd-Frank law violates John Locke’s dictum: “The legislative cannot transfer the power of making laws to any other hands. ... The power of the legislative ... (is) only to make laws, and not to make legislators.” The CFPB is empowered to “declare,” with no legislative guidance or institutional inhibitions, that certain business practices are “abusive.” It also embodies progressivism’s authoritarianism by being, unlike any entity Congress has created since 1789, untethered from all oversight mechanisms: Its funding, “determined by the director,” comes from the Federal Reserve. l Repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board. This expression of the progressive mind is an artifact of the Affordable Care Act and may be the most anticonstitutional measure ever enacted. It certainly violates the first words of the first section of the first article of the Constitution: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress.” The IPAB’s purported function

“

But if, as is likely, the result of Congress doing these and similar things is a blizzard of presidential vetoes, even this would be constructive.” is to achieve the ACA’s purpose of cost containment by reducing Medicare spending. When the IPAB’s 15 presidential appointees make what the ACA calls a “legislative proposal” limiting reimbursements to doctors, this proposal automatically becomes law unless Congress passes a similar measure cutting Medicare spending. Under this constitutional travesty, an executive branch agency makes laws unless the legislative branch enacts alternative means of achieving the executive agency’s aim. The ACA stipulates that no measure for the abolition of the IPAB can be introduced before 2017 or after Feb. 1, 2017, and must be enacted by Aug. 15 of that year. So, one Congress presumed to bind all subsequent Congresses in order to achieve progressivism’s consistent aim — abolishing

limited government by emancipating presidents from restraint by the separation of powers. This impertinence by the 111th Congress requires a firm rebuke by the 114th. l Repeal the ACA’s tax on medical devices. This $29 billion blow to an industry that provides more than 400,000 jobs is levied not on firms’ profits but on gross revenues, and comes on top of the federal (the developed world’s highest) corporate income tax, plus state and local taxes. Enough Democrats support repeal that a presidential veto might be overridden. l Improve energy, economic and environmental conditions by authorizing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline would reduce the risk of spills by reducing the transportation of oil in railroad tankers. l Mandate completion of the nuclear waste repository in Nevada’s Yucca Mountain. The signature achievement of Harry Reid’s waning career has been blocking this project, on which approximately $15 billion has been spent. So, rather than nuclear waste being safely stored in the mountain’s 40 miles of tunnels 1,000 feet underground atop 1,000 feet of rock, more than 160 million Americans live within 75 miles of one or more of the 121 locations where 70,000 tons of waste are stored. l Pass the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act. It would require that any regulation with at least a $100

million annual impact on the economy — there are approximately 200 of them in the pipeline — must be approved without amendments by joint resolution of Congress and signed by the president. “In effect,” writes the Hudson Institute’s Christopher DeMuth, “major agency rules would become legislative proposals with fast-track privileges.” By requiring legislative complicity in especially heavy federal burdens, REINS is an ingredient in the recipe for resuscitating Congress, which has been far too eager to cede legislative responsibilities to the executive branch. Such measures may be too granular to satisfy the grandiose aspirations of those conservatives who, sharing progressives’ impatience with our constitutional architecture, aspire to have their way completely while wielding just one branch of government. But if, as is likely, the result of Congress doing these and similar things is a blizzard of presidential vetoes, even this would be constructive. The 2016 presidential election would follow a twoyear demonstration of how reactionary progressivism is in opposing changes to the nation’s trajectory. Congressional actions provoking executive rejections would frame the argument about progressivism. And as Margaret Thatcher advised, first you win the argument, then you win the vote. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Video about more than cat calls They say they are going to rape Shoshana Roberts. She’s the star of a hidden camera video that has gone viral. Posted by Hollaback!, a group that campaigns against the street harassment of women — “catcalling” — it shows Roberts taking a silent stroll through New York City. Over the course of 10 hours, she records over a hundred instances of unwanted attention from unknown men. It ranges from “What’s up, girl?” to “God bless you, mami” to “D—n!” to a couple of guys who, in separate incidents, follow her for blocks. The video is not without flaws. Although Rob Bliss Creative, the agency that produced it, has said Roberts was approached by men of every racial hue, the clip is edited to make it appear as if only African- and Hispanic-American men harassed her. Hollaback! has apologized for what it calls “unintended bias.” For what it’s worth, another term for “unintended bias” is, bias. Even so, I think the clip manages to make its point: namely, that it’s a gluteal pain, if you are an attractive woman, trying to walk down the street without being messed with. Many men seem to feel it their absolute entitlement and peremptory prerogative to intercept you, to demand

notice, to compel conversation, to offer evaluations of your physical assets. The argument over catcalling has simmered since August when the New York Post ran an op-ed under the headline, “Hey, Ladies — Catcalls Are Flattering! Deal With It,” by a woman who said such attention boosts her ego. A panel on Fox “News” responded predictably. “Let men be men” said co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle. Last week, as the Roberts video made the rounds, the network was again predictable. “She got 100 catcalls,” said Fox “personality” Bob Beckel. “Let me add 101:

‘D—n, baby, you’re a piece of woman.’” A piece. Of woman. D—n, indeed. Certainly, there is room to debate the difference between flirtation and harassment. But it is disingenuous to pretend — as Fox and others on the right do — that there is no there there, that nothing troubling is revealed in that video. Meantime, Roberts has people saying they are going to rape her. The threats, made online, have come from men angered by the video. This is not unique. Women journalists have gotten rape threats. Women crusading against misogynistic video games have gotten rape threats. Model Chrissy Teigen has gotten rape threats. Various other women who have dared espouse opinions have gotten rape threats. It is noteworthy that we are not talking about a threat equally applicable to women and men — i.e., death threats — but, rather, one specific to women and, as such, designed to make a statement: You are smaller, weaker, more vulnerable. Stay in your place — or be put there. It is a threat with which women were all too familiar long before the Internet was born. It lurks behind the easy smile of men you don’t

know — and, too often, of men you do. For one woman in every six, it isn’t even a threat. It’s a reality, a lacerating memory. The realization of which should kill any temptation to laugh off what Roberts’ video depicts. Even in our enlightened era, even with Oprah running her empire and Hillary contemplating the presidency, we still live in a society where it is too often the case that woman equals prey. And that gives the lie to the notion that the behavior of the men in that video is harmless. It might be a good idea, at least for those of us who lack firsthand experience, to imagine enduring that a hundred times a day. Imagine it if you were smaller, weaker, more vulnerable. Imagine it and remember: One’s perception of a threat is in direct proportion to one’s susceptibility to said threat. Better yet, imagine if it were some young woman you loved. I asked my daughter — 24, like Shoshana Roberts, pretty like Shoshana Roberts — to look at the video and tell me what she thought. Her response made me ache a little. “That’s every day,” she said. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

If all goes according to plan and the design proposal receives city approval — a requirement since the fairgrounds are within city limits — Plinsky said the county could begin searching for a construction manager in spring 2015. In other business Wednesday, the commission also recognized Edna Brubaker, a line supervisor for Douglas County Emergency Communications. She recently won the 2013 Supervisor of the Year award from the Kansas Association of Public Safety Communications Officials. Brubaker has worked within the department since 1993. Deputy director Lori Alexander called her a “great asset to the department.”

Instead, the Supreme Court issued an order for all parties in the case to “show cause” why the case in state court should not be delayed until the federal lawsuit is resolved. The order came in response to a ruling Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree, who issued a temporary injunction against certain state officials, barring them from denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples. But Crabtree stayed the effective date of that order for one week to give Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office time to appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Schmidt filed the appeal Wednesday. Those are just the latest in what has been a flurry of judicial action in the last month since the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeals of several other cases, including two from the 10th Circuit, in which appellate courts struck down state bans on gay marriage that are similar to the one in Kansas.

Landplan Engineering will be hired by Douglas County to round out the remaining design services for the proposed improvements to the county fairgrounds. Sarah Plinsky, the assistant county administrator, said once Landplan’s responsibilities are complete, the county can submit its entire design proposal for the $6.5 million worth of improvements to the city of Lawrence for approval. She said she hopes to submit it by the end of December. The county will pay the firm $115,000 to provide civil engineering services, such as a storm water drainage study, traffic impact analy-

The Douglas County Commission voted to waive its formal process of requesting proposals from other firms since Landplan has worked with the county on fairgrounds improvements since 2006. A method of paying for the improvements has yet to be established, Plinsky said. However she expects the commission to discuss options at its Nov. 19 meeting. Plinsky also said county officials are working to hold public meetings to solicit feedback on the renovations before the end of the year.

Red flags appeared at Weis’ introduction Sheahon Zenger has an adviser and a nationwide committee helping him this time, but the choice of the next Kansas University football coach officially still will be made by the athletic director who for his first hire swung for the fences and missed so badly he drilled himself into a bunker. A look back at history generally helps in not dooming oneself to repeat it. Weis A close look back at the Charlie Weis introductory news conference revealed some red flags. “Ten days ago, I stood in this room and told the football team I was going to hit the road and find the best football coach for the University of Kansas,” Zenger said before Weis spoke. “I set out to find the best. I found Charlie Weis.” I wanted to play on the PGA Tour. I have a 22 handicap. Forgive the digression. I have no idea what made me think of that. “We’ve had several coaching changes in recent years,” Zenger said. “The chancellor and I didn’t feel like we needed a jump start. We believed that we needed a power surge. That power surge is coach Weis.” Athletic directors should not make football hires in unison with chancellors or university presidents whose expertise is at the academic end of a university. Mike Leach was hired by the Washington State athletic director and was told he would be working for the AD. He did not have to undergo a joint interview. Looking back at the news conference, Weis said something that opened a window as to why he went 6-22. “I’m not the greatest coach in the world,” Weis said. “I’m just an old ball coach. That’s what I am. I was groomed under Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick, OK, and the way I figure it, they’re both going to the Hall of Fame so why should I try to reinvent the wheel? Why not copycat what they do?” Because college football is all about identifying the right athletes to recruit, projecting what they’ll look like, learn like and play like once taught on the practice field and in the weight room. Developing players by putting the best against the best in practice is how it’s done. In the NFL, it’s all about scheming and changing those schemes every week in order to gain tactical advantages. Not as much individual teaching of technique takes place because the players arrive closer to finished products. Looking into a crystal ball with the hope of how his Kansas career would turn out, Weis spoke honestly: “You want Utopia? I’ve said this to both chancellor (Bernadette Gray-Little) and to Dr. Zenger, Utopia is me walking away from here

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S TIANA DOCKERY celebrates a point against Baylor.

Kansas University outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who was inspired by a familiar voice on the bench, responded with a matchhigh 12 kills in the Jayhawks’ 3-0 volleyball rout of Baylor on Wednesday in sold-out Horejsi Center. “When you have Todd back here going, ‘Hit the ball. Speak to the ball,’ then you just have to go do it,” the 5-foot-10 junior from Richmond, Texas, said after committing just three errors in KU’s 25-10, 25-14, 25-23 sweep. Todd is vocal fifth-year

assistant coach Todd Chamberlain, who works with the outside hitters and encourages them during matches during the ultra-competitive Big 12 Conference slate. “Every (opposing) team this year has been awesome,” Dockery said after the Jayhawks, who are ranked 27th in the country in the RPI index, improved to 5-5 in the league and 17-7 overall. Baylor, No. 51 in the RPI, dropped to 3-7 in the league, 13-12 overall. “Coming back after the big break (after two sets), if we are down two or split, you have to focus and not think about how tired you are. You know what they (opponents)

are going to do is either be the same or they are going to crank it up a notch, so that means we have to keep going on our game. It’s very difficult to win 3-0 in any of these games,” Dockery added. Fellow outside hitters Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers had nine and eight kills respectively. Albers had 11 digs, second to Cassie Wait’s 17. Ainise Havili had 38 assists for the Jayhawks, who will try to get over the .500 mark Saturday at Texas Tech. “Yes we can. Yes we can,” Dockery said, asked if fourthplace KU can creep above the break-even point for the Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3B

KU football coaching search takes steps forward “

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

With four games remaining in the 2014 Kansas University football season and still a world of uncertainty surrounding who will lead the program in the future, KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger has taken significant steps forward in the search to find a full-time football coach. Zenger confirmed to the Journal-World Wednesday

morning that former Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas had been hired by the uniZenger versity as an adviser in the search for a replacement for Charlie Weis, who was fired on Sept. 28. Zenger credited Neinas’ handling of the tumultuous

conference realignment era and said his knowledge and understanding of both Kansas and the Big 12 landscape would be crucial in helping the Jayhawks find the right coach. “Chuck is a guy I’ve known in this business since I was young,” Zenger told the Journal-World. “We all respect and admire him as a current and former leader in our business, and what he did recently with the Big 12 was historic. Having him

walk beside us in this is a He’ll be great comfort.” This is not the first time actively that Neinas has assisted KU involved. in a high-profile hire.

Oklahoma ousts Kansas in Big 12 soccer tournament By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — For the second time in six days, the No. 14 Kansas University soccer team suffered a one-goal loss to Oklahoma. After falling to the Sooners, 1-0, on Friday in their regular-season finale, the Jayhawks lost to Oklahoma, 2-1, Wednesday in the Big 12 Championship quarterfinals at Swope Soccer Village. “We played way better today than when we played them Friday,” Kansas coach Please see KEEGAN, page 4B Mark Francis said. “We cre-

ated a lot more chances, and we had a shot.” The No. 6-seeded Sooners struck first against No. 3 seeded Kansas in the 35th minute, when Tori Bowman fired a shot past KU backup goalie Maddie Dobyns. The goal was the lone lowlight for Dobyns in the opening half, as she made all four of her saves in the first 30 minutes to keep the Jayhawks in it early. “I thought Maddie played really, really well,” Francis said. “She made a really good save in the first half, big-time save off of a cor-

ner. I think a kid flicked it to the far post low, and she got down really quickly and tipped it around the post.” Dobyns filled in for starter Kaitlyn Stroud, who received a red card in the closing seconds of Friday’s matchup against the Sooners. The Jayhawks did not trail for long, however. Junior Liana Salazar scored the equalizer in the the 42nd Mike Gunnoe/Special to the Journal-World minute on a free kick from KANSAS UNIVERSITY MIDFIELDER Liana Salazar, less than 25 yards out. “I think yesterday I took right, fires a shot against Oklahoma during the Big 12 women’s soccer tournament Wednesday Please see SOCCER, page 3B night in Kansas City, Missouri.

Chiefs extend Sherman Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs locked up running back Jamaal Charles with a contract extension in training camp. Now, they’ve ensured his lead blocker will be around for a while. The Chiefs signed fullback Anthony Sherman to a three-year contract extension Wednesday that could keep him in Kansas City through the 2017 season. The deal will pay the bruising lead blocker up to $7 million, according to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed. “It was definitely good to get out of the way,” said Sherman, who was due to be a free agent after this season. “You just know you’re wanted somewhere, and it’s a good feeling that someone wants you to stay here and play for them.” Sherman has started 21 of the 51 games he’s played over the past four seasons. The past two have been spent in Kansas City, where he has paved the way for Charles and fellow running back Knile Davis to give the Chiefs one of the NFL’s top rushing offenses. Charles, whose two-year extension also keeps him in Kansas City through 2017, ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He’s run for 435 yards and five scores this season. Sherman isn’t just a blocker, though. Over the past few years, Sherman has developed into a reliable short-yardage receiver. The former UConn standout caught 36 passes for 315 yards and two TDs during two seasons with Arizona and his last season-plus in Kansas City. “I really don’t think there’s a guy in this locker room that’s not happy for him,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “So selfless, team guy, team first. We move him around, it doesn’t matter. You can ask him to go out there and play any position and he’d do it.” The fact that the Chiefs were eager to lock him up speaks volumes of his value. In the modern, pass-happy NFL, some franchises no longer carry a fullback. But his ability to pick up the blitz, block in pass protection and still clear the way for Charles and Davis in the running game make Sherman nearly indispensable. “In this offense, which isn’t the case in a lot of offenses in today’s football, the fullback ends up being an important part of that,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “And with that, they’ve got to be a good blocker and they’ve also got to be able to catch the football. He can do all of that and on top of that be a good special teams player. “He’s also one of the leaders on the football team,” Reid said. “He kind of covers a bunch of bases there, but most of all he’s a good football player.” Indeed, perhaps the most valuable thing Sherman brings to the team isn’t even evident on game day. His light-hearted personality and acerbic wit keeps things light in the locker room. “I mean, that’s part of it. He has an infectious personality,” Smith said. “He’s fun to have around.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Oubre takes devastating dunk in stride By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman Kelly Oubre Jr., who flushed a fierce one-handed dunk in the second half of Monday’s exhibition rout of Washburn, hustled back on defense without any fistpumping at all. That surprised some, considering he recently told the Journal-World’s Tom Keegan he planned on “screaming to the crowd” after some big plays his rookie season. “I think I better wait,” Oubre said of reacting after such plays. “It was Washburn (Div. II exhibition foe). We had a good game. We were picking it up at that time.

“I didn’t feel I needed to express my feelings,” Oubre added with a smile after scoring nine points and grabbing four rebounds with two assists and two turnovers in his 21-minute debut. Oubre Asked w h a t he thought of his first KU slam, the 6-foot-7, 200-pounder said: “It’s part of the game. I definitely love getting out jumping and dunking. It was definitely one of the highlights of the game for me. It was kind of a momentum shift for us.”

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has named Marques Townsend the school’s new director of basketball

trative volunteer at Kansas University. While at Kansas, Townsend worked with coaches and managers in producing scouting reports — helping the Jayhawks to 56 wins over the past two seasons. He also handled the bulk of the staff’s video responsibilities, filming each game and producing digital and DVD copies for coaches, opponents and officials. Townsend was a member of the Lassen College men’s basketball team from 2003-2005. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Kansas in July.

more than, like, 20 balls (free kicks), so that is the result of practice,” Salazar said. Salazar had a chance in the opening minutes of the second half to put KU in front, but Oklahoma keeper Kaitlyn Fahrner was there to save the point-blank chance. The Sooners went on to retake the lead in the 62nd minute when Madeline Brems blasted the ball past Dobyns to give OU a 2-1 advantage. Oklahoma capitalized on a corner by Abby Hodgen, and Jemma Cota set up Brems for the one-timer. “I thought we defended the corners pretty well,” Francis said. “The first goal and the second goal came off of a set piece where we didn’t get to the second ball.” Kansas had a golden opportunity to come level again in the 80th minute. Fahrner gambled by coming out of the box and was out of position when the ball bounced to the feet of Salazar again from 25 yards out. Salazar’s shot sailed wide, though, and the Sooners held off the Jayhawks. Despite losing four of the last five games, Francis is confident about the Jayhawks’ chances at an NCAA Tournament berth with a 15-5 record. “We’ve got some kids with some knocks,” Francis said. “We’ll regroup and get those guys healthy and figure out Monday who we’re playing and make a run in the tournament.” The NCAA Tournament field will be announced at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, and the Jayhawks will host a watch party in the Chancellor’s Lounge of the Anderson Family Football Complex. First-round action will begin Nov. 14.

first time this conference season. “We’re going to work on that.” Noted senior Albers: “We are sitting at 5-5. I think we can right now make a big step. We need to keep building off of this. That’s the most important thing.” Coach Ray Bechard, whose team at this date is still in good shape regarding landing a bid to the NCAA Tournament, acknowledged that the .500 mark has been tough to pass. “Can we get over .500 in the Big 12? That’s the big picture,” Bechard said, when asked about the “big picture.” “It’s a good time of year to play well and get a 3-0 win against a good team (BU had won two in a row). “Depending on what happens tonight (in other league action), maybe we can get some separation between the top half and others.”

Three Wellsville High volleyball players were honored by the Pioneer League on Wednesday. Senior outside hitter Ashley Sparks, senior setter Emily Newhouse and sophomore outside hitter Karly Patton were selected to the first team. Santa Fe Trail High freshman Kelsey Simmons was chosen for the second team.

Townsend takes UALR position

His dunk gave KU a 6532 lead with 11:40 to play. His first bucket as a Jayhawk was a three that lifted KU to a 23-7 lead with 9:23 left in the first half. “I felt pretty comfortable. I don’t like to settle for threes, but I felt the opportunity was there, so I took it,” Oubre said. “We practice a lot in here. We have great feel for the rims. This building is part of us so we feel comfortable in here,” he added of Allen Fieldhouse. Oubre, who averaged 22.2 points and 6.7 rebounds a game last year at Findlay Prep in Nevada, said he needs to work on “defense, rebounding, doing what I need to do to help my team win. I need

“He’ll be actively involved,” Zenger said. “He’ll be on the phone as much as I am. He will help us vet every candidate through references and also will be another voice on the advisory committee as well.” In addition to involving Neinas, Zenger confirmed that a search committee of roughly a dozen people had been formed to aid in the search. The committee includes colleagues, former KU football players and stakeholders, all of whom, Zenger said, have a vested interest in KU football and leading the program back to better days. “Everyone will have a different role,” Zenger said. “And the members of the committee are nationwide. Based upon their location, they’ll be able to do different things within that advisory role.” As Zenger has said from the beginning, interim head coach Clint Bowen remains a strong candidate for the job, but he hired Neinas and formed the committee to make sure the search was as thorough and wellrounded as possible, both of which would increase the odds of KU finding the right guy. Because many teams and potential candidates are still in the heart of their football seasons, most of the work done on the search thus far has been of the preparatory variety, with Zenger and others doing research, lining up parameters and making preparations for the search to heat up once the college football season winds down. “As I said five weeks ago, we will simultaneously be supporting our team and current staff and conducting a search,” Zenger said. “And I think people can see we’ve been doing that.”

to improve on everything.” He was definitely enthused for Monday’s exhibition opener after practicing against his own teammates for months. He attended both sessions of summer school. “From the moment we stepped in there, I sensed a thrill like a vibe coming from everybody,” Oubre said of the atmosphere in Allen. “It was definitely one of the best feelings stepping on the court with my teammates for the first time in a real game environment, not just practice. I feel we have a lot of improvement to do. We showed well tonight.” KU coach Bill Self likes Oubre’s potential, that’s for sure. “He is so long. He can

get out (on defense). He needs to be our best wing defender,” Self said. “We’ve got to be able to plug him in to take advantage of what he does. He can score, but he’s so good around the rim, he’s so good getting out in the passing lanes, he’s such a good offensive rebounder. There’s a lot of things he can do well that’s not your typical two-or-three-guardtype things. So we have to find a way to post him and do some stuff like that that’s a little bit different from what we’ve been doing. But he’s a talented player. He is as good a prospect (as there is) in the gym. He’s got a lot to learn.” Noted Perry Ellis: “Kelly is relentless defen-

Rabb has decided to see a game in person this season.

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks adjust quickly to playcalling transition By Matt Tait mtaitljworld.com

Energized by the chance to call plays again, Kansas University’s co-offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau said this week that one of the most important aspects of the transition was not to throw too much at the Jayhawks too quickly. “I told (interim head coach) Clint (Bowen), it’s gonna be a gradual progression,” Kiesau said. “Last week there were a few things, then we’ll take those things and we’ll add a few this week and add a few next week. Really, what we’re trying to do is just build and get stronger as the season ends, in fairness to the kids. Sure, I’d love to flip the script and say, ‘Hey, guys, here’s what we’re doing,’ and have these 15 or 20 new ideas. But if they don’t execute ’em, then it doesn’t look good, and it’s all for nothing.” Kiesau, who called plays both at Colorado and Washington, said the mental impact of such a transition was important to monitor, particularly for a team that just changed head coaches and quarterbacks. “You really have to monitor your team and see where your players are at, not just footballwise but in the whole big picture.” Just because there’s a new play-caller on the field on Saturdays does not mean things have changed completely. Sure, the feel and philoso-

phies might be a little different, but several other elements remained in place. “The hardest thing is, because of where we are in the season, you can’t wholes a l e change everything,” Kiesau said. “So the core of what we’re doKiesau ing is still our system. What I’m trying to do is put some of the wrinkles in that we can implement that won’t rock the boat completely.” Kiesau compared the opposite approach to switching from speaking Chinese to English and emphasized that putting such strain on a struggling team would be too taxing. “The transition was smooth,” he said. “I think we all handled it like professionals, and then the kids transitioned really well.”

Injury update Senior defensive tackle Keon Stowers, who did not practice on Wednesday, was listed in his normal spot on the Jayhawks’ depth chart on Tuesday, and Bowen said the Jayhawks hoped Stowers could return for Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. kickoff with Iowa State at Memorial Stadium. The senior defensive tackle left last week’s loss at Baylor on a cart but may

be able to play Saturday vs. ISU. Bowen also said the team hoped running back De’Andre Mann would return for Saturday’s game and listed him as day-to-day. Freshman defensive back Derrick Neal, who also left the Baylor game on a cart, was ruled out for Saturday.

Extra prep for ISU Although the Jayhawks spent the bulk of their bye week (Oct. 25) preparing for their match-up with Baylor, Bowen said Tuesday that parts of the off week were spent looking ahead to Iowa State. “Yeah, any time we had a little extra time on Friday (Oct. 24), we always glanced ahead,” Bowen said. The idea was not as much to worry about the ins and outs of the Cyclones as it was to get a jump on ISU week. Bowen said the practice was something he learned while working for former KU defensive coordinator Bill Young and its intention was to position the team to be ready to take bigger steps forward the Sunday after the game that followed their bye. In this case, that was last Sunday, which Bowen said went well. “By the time we got on the field on Sunday, our guys realized that there’s nothing you can do about the Baylor game, but there’s plenty we can do about the rest of the season,” he said.

A younger, more impulsive Weis from his Notre Dame days might have said something regrettable, such as, “Everyone wants to play. There’s no one that wants to not play.

Alcoholism, other addictions are diseases Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

’70s, when those treating addicts realized that stigmatizing them as simply lacking selfcontrol and having character deficiencies was prejudicial and counterproductive to effective treatment. We now know that some people are genetically predisposed to becoming addicted and that repeatedly abusing drugs or alcohol can alter the brain. But there is some argument that addiction is not as simi-

Con drama on USA winds down Six seasons is a long time to be on a short leash. So it makes sense that this season of “White Collar” (8 p.m., USA) will be its last. Part con-man drama, part bromance, all eye candy for fans of USA’s brand of good-looking people in shiny, pretty settings, “White Collar” will follow Neal (Matt Bomer) as he tries to break the legal shackles that tether him to his FBI handler, Peter (Tim DeKay). Look for lots of impressive New York real estate and scenery in this valedictory lap. T h i s y e a r , Bomer received a well-deserved Emmy nomination for his supporting role in the HBO adaptation of Larry Kramer’s “The Normal Heart.” He appears this season in “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” and has been reportedly cast as actor Montgomery Clift in an upcoming screen biopic. NBC has canceled “Bad Judge” and “A to Z.” The network will air complete episodes this fall and replace them with “The Blacklist” following the Super Bowl in February. It’s hardly surprising that NBC pulled the plug on these little-watched sitcoms. “Judge” was atrocious and “A to Z” too precious for its own good. Their failure may not be newsworthy, but it could be historic. NBC’s Thursday nights have been a place for comedy for decades now, dating back to “Cheers” and beyond. To think of the “Must See TV” network reduced to airing “The Biggest Loser” on Thursdays is pathetic. Tonight’s other highlights Evidence of human trafficking on “Bones” (7 p.m. Fox). Phyllis Logan (”Downton Abbey”) guest-stars. April’s mother visits on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC). Jack’s secrets are revealed on “Gracepoint” (8 p.m., Fox). Olivia throws her weight around on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC) Kitty fears that Holmes and Watson are too in sync on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS). To test-drive motherhood, Amber baby-sits Max on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). A judge’s gag order forces Annalise to change strategy on “How to Get Away With Murder” (9 p.m., ABC). “The Eric Andre Show” (11:15 p.m., Cartoon Network) returns for season 3.

Dear Annie: A dear aunt passed away about six weeks ago. Unfortunately, I could not attend her out-of-town funeral due to the expense and my own health issues. But I knew she loved a particular flower, and I had the florist send some to the funeral home. I have heard nothing from the family, although even a short note would have been appreciated.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Nov. 6: This year you will have so much energy that sometimes others can’t imagine joining you, even if it’s just to go shopping. Try to center yourself more often. You will make good decisions as a result. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. The issue could be how close you are willing to let someone get. Hopefully you will meet someone with similar needs. If you are attached, it could be quite an effort for your sweetie to keep up with your pace. Make it a point to slow down for this person. 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 might want to be more creative in how you approach a money venture.

Have we lost all our manners in this day and age? — Dumfounded Niece Dear Niece: It can be difficult for family members to put aside their grief long enough to send thankyou notes and other acknowledgments, and it helps to have friends assist them. Yes, you can check with the florist. But there is nothing wrong with picking up the phone to call your relatives and express your condolences, share memories of your aunt and, in the course of the conversation, find out whether the flowers were received.

Dear Annie: Please tell me, when did alcoholism become a disease? A disease is when the body is ill and not functioning properly. According to Webster’s Dictionary, addiction is the quality or state of being addicted, and continues that it is a “compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine or alcohol) characterized by welldefined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.” So why do alcoholics have a disease and those who abuse drugs are addicts? Why do we tolerate the double standard? — Ventura, Calif. Dear Ventura: It’s not a double standard. Alcoholics are also addicts. The idea that addiction is a disease became popular in the

Recycling your outfits

all is one of my favorite times of year because you can really play around with different looks and trends. One of the best parts is how you can take pieces from spring and summer and layer them into fall looks. I’m a huge fan of recycling clothes and wearing them yearround if you can. This look has a lot of layers that will keep you warm, but it also adds some depth and texture. As I’ve said before, a good pair of skinny jeans is a great investment because they can be worn throughout every season. I like a pair that stops just above the ankles. If you have a pair that is longer, you can always roll them to get the length you want. I like to pair my skinny jeans with low-rising ankle boots, and then make sure you can see some skin between the top of the boot and the bottom of your jeans. Any ankle boot would work. I chose a boot with a small heel, and I ab-

I wrapped it around twice so it appears very full and warm around my neck. You could wear it solutely love the color.

the nest family adventures

Dinosaurs rule november

understand that he’s a controversial figure and I respect the fact that each family must make the choice for themselves, but, for our house, I just can’t get into “The Elf on the Shelf.” For one, we don’t do snitches. For two, something in the Elf’s eyes reminds me of that possessed doll Chucky from the “Child’s Play” movies. But I have to admit, when I see Pinterest boards full of delighted kiddies finding the Elf in different mischievous poses each morning, I can’t help but wonder if we’re missing out on some fun. I appreciate the creativity, just not the packaging. Which is why I was happy to discover an imaginative alternative this year: Dinovember. Dreamed-up by Kansas City couple Refe and Susan Tuma, Dinovember began purely out of whimsy. “In the age of iPads and Netflix,” Refe writes about the project, “we don’t want our kids to lose their sense of wonder and imagination.” So, every night for the entire month of November each year, the pair devotes themselves to convincing their children that their toy dinosaurs come to life while the kids are sleeping. In scenes that range from tearing into a cereal box to making graffiti with crayons to even occasionally cleaning up after themselves, the Tumas’ dinosaurs have nocturnal reign of the house for one short month. The idea has spread like the ash from a species-ending asteroid. According to the

Meryl Carver-Allmond/Special to the Journal-World

Dinosaurs team up to make cookies in the kitchen during Dinovember.

First, you’ll need some toy dinosaurs. If your kids already have a box full, you’re all set. If not, may I recommend picking up a few at the KU Natural History Museum’s gift shop? Not only is a quick stroll Meryl Carver-Allmond through the fossils a great way Dinovember website (dinovem- to kick off your Dinovember ber.tumblr.com), families in but I was also able to pick up over 45 countries now para handful of dinos there for ticipate, and I suspect that the about $15.

The

Dinovember Facebook page (facebook.com/dinovember) is full of cute ideas, and searching the hashtag “Dinovember” on Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest will get you everything from brontosauruses driving toy trucks to T-rexes flying across the living room on zip lines. Another few easy ideas? Pull out the kids’ favorite board game and set the dinosaurs up to play. Let the dinosaurs loose in the bathroom with a roll of toilet paper or set them up for a hot tub party in the bathtub. Or pop some popcorn and have the dinosaurs watch a favorite movie — “The Land Before

Time” or “Ice Age” might be hits with the extinct reptile crowd. Whatever form Dinovember takes for your family, remember that the point is to use your imagination and hopefully incite your small ones to do the same. As the Tumas proclaim, “Childhood is fleeting — let’s make it fun while it lasts.” Happy Dinovember! — Meryl Carver-Allmond lives in Lawrence and writes about chickens, babies, knitting, gardening, food, photography, and whatever else tickles her fancy on any given day at mybitofearth.net.

Tips for finding great deals on denim

When it comes to bargains, timing is everything. October and November are actually the best months to buy jeans when it comes to savings. With back-to-school shopping done, many retailers slash their prices on jeans. Gap, 643 Massachusetts St., currently has tons of jeans on clearance from to $24.99 to $29.99, from boyfriend cut, to straight leg, to jeggings. And the store recently gave an additional 50 percent off all of its clearance prices, which brought the jeans down to as low as $12.49.

Prepare your house for winter in 11 steps with help from the Fix-It Chick.

home Winter checklist fix-it S chick

ome things are worth repeating. Here is a checklist of things to do each year to prepare your home for the winter. Step 1: Remove screens and put up storm windows. Seal windows without storms with clear plastic sheeting. Pre-packaged window kits with double-sided tape are easy to install and surprisingly energy efficient. Step 2: Change the furnace filter, cover the air conditioner and reverse the direction of each ceiling fan. Ceiling fans should rotate clockwise in the winter and counterclockwise in the summer. Step 3: Seal up new cracks and crevices inside and outside your home. Homes move and shift over time, creating new gaps and voids. Look for gaps where different materials meet, such as brick and siding, wood and plaster, flooring and

Linda Cottin drywall. Remove worn or loose caulk and replace it with a premium-quality flexible caulk. Use caulk cord, weather strip or spray foam insulation to fill larger voids and gaps. Step 4: Examine exterior door seals. Replace worn or compromised weather stripping on the sides and top of the door jamb to ensure an airtight seal. Replace worn or missing door sweeps and thresholds. Step 5: Check existing heat tapes installed on waterlines to

Exposed waterlines need to be protected using heat tape and insulation.

make sure they are functioning properly. Waterlines running through crawl spaces or unheated areas of the home need to be protected from freezing with heat tape and insulation. Step 6: Disconnect garden hoses and cover outdoor spigots with a Styrofoam cap to prevent

waterlines from freezing. Step 7: Store away lawn furniture, empty flower pots and drain rain barrels to avoid damage from frozen water. Step 8: Empty the gas from all power equipment. Use up remaining gas in extra cans stored in the garage or shed.

Gas stored through the winter is the most common cause of equipment failure in the spring. Step 9: Prune back shrubs and perennial plants. Spread a thick layer of mulch around plants and trees to protect their roots from the bitter cold. Keep mulch a few inches from the tree trunks to prevent moisture damage. Step 10: Clean the gutters and trim back tree branches near the home to minimize damage from snow and ice. Step 11: Check the roof for any loose or missing shingles. Seal flashings around chimneys and vent pipes. Brush on a clear, ultra-elastic roof sealant to coat problem areas for extra protection against water damage. — Have a home improvement question you want answered by the Fix-It Chick?

Be wary of oak leaf itch mites

ak trees in and around Lawrence are reportedly dropping more than acorns and leaves this fall, and individuals who plan to spend time outdoors should be on the lookout. Oak leaf itch mites — tiny, eight-legged creatures that feed on insects in the tree canopy — drop from oak leaves in late summer and fall. The mites have been known to bite humans when they come into contact with bare skin. Oak leaf itch mite bites typically result in a rash or raised welts similar to chigger bites. The bites are characterized by their location on the body, most often occurring on shoulders, neck and upper body because of the nature of their fall. They can be carried by wind, and may also bite hands and exposed arms of gardeners who are handling leaves or infested plant material. Protection is the best bet for gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts who plan to spend time raking leaves or enjoying the

Jennifer Smith fall weather under oak trees. Wear tightly woven longsleeved shirts and pants for outdoor activities. Limit the amount of time spent around possibly infected oak trees. Wash clothes and bathe immediately after outdoor activities are complete. Gloves may protect hands for those who will be handling leaves and plant material. DEET-based repellents were originally recommended for protection as well, but have shown mixed results. Insecticides are ineffective because mites remain protected inside leaf tissues until they drop and because of the mites’ short life cycle. Individuals who get bit by itch mites can treat bites similarly to other insect bites.

If you find yourself under an oak tree, watch out for falling oak leaf itch mites — tiny creatures that feed on insects in the tree canopy.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists calamine lotion, oral histamines and over-the-counter hydrocortisone products for relief. Sensitive individuals may wish to seek medical treatment. Itching may last a week or more depending on the person, and scratching bites may lead to secondary infection. Oak leaf itch mites primar-

ily feed on oak gall midges. Oak gall midges are named for the growth, or gall, that forms around the area where the midge is feeding on the leaf. One of the most common oak galls is known as the marginal leaf fold gall. As the name describes, these galls are characterized by a raised area along the leaf margin that looks like the edge of the leaf is folded over. Oak leaf itch mites enter

the galls to prey on midges inside. Fortunately, oak leaf itch mites only live for about a week. Unfortunately, they can have multiple generations in a year. Oak leaf itch mites are likely to be more prevalent in years when there are heavy gall populations. The first reports of oak leaf itch mites in the United States were in Kansas and Nebraska in 2004. The mites have since been reported in much of the Midwest and as far east as Pennsylvania, and are believed to have originated in Europe. Like many exotic pests, they came into the United States on infested plant material. They have also been recorded in Australia, India, Egypt and Chile. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for K-State Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
