Memories of the chain gang

ECONOMY

Employment rebounding, but new jobs not the same

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A Kansas Department of Labor economist said Wednesday that job growth in Kansas during the second quarter of this year was stronger than previously estimated, and that total private-sector, nonfarm jobs in Kansas have finally rebounded to pre-recession levels.

But the jobs that have been created since then have been mainly in the business and professional services sector — jobs such as lawyers, accountants and business administrators — not in manufacturing, which saw the largest share of job losses during the Great Recession.

Officials change proposed school boundaries

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

The 11-member team tasked with recommending new attendance boundaries to balance enrollment in Lawrence schools revised some of its recommendations Wednesday evening in advance of an anticipated Dec. 8 school board vote.

The Boundary Advisory Committee met to stack up several alternatives against

the original boundary adjustments they recommended to the school board in September, before the public provided feedback.

The changes proposed Wednesday address some of the concerns raised by parents during the feedback period, but some remain frustrated the committee did not change its position on the boundary for Deerfield and Sunset Hill elementary schools.

The committee reached a

DEATHS

Miller

Joyce Marie McDowell Memorial service for Joyce McDowell, 59, Eudora will be held 1-3 p.m. Saturday, December 6, 2014 at the Eudora Rec. Center.

Miller in 2005 of firstdegree murder in the July 28, 2004, death of his wife, Mary E. Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home. Prosecutors accused Miller, a former Lawrence carpenter and Christian school leader, of strangling his wife in her sleep because he had been having an affair with another woman and he wanted to collect $300,000 in life insurance money.

Miller’s murder conviction was overturned in February, when the Kansas Supreme Court said that the written jury instruction that District Judge Paula Martin gave jurors had been in error.

Since the granting of the retrial, the defense has been aiming to have the case moved to another jurisdiction.

In September, Martin denied Miller’s request to disqualify the district attorney’s office after Kemple and Matthew Miller both testified that he and Kemple’s son are friends, and the two had planned to move into an apartment together when plans fell through at the last minute. Kemple agreed to let Miller stay at her home rent-free, where her son also lives, on a temporary basis.

The case had been put on hold in October so Miller’s attorney, Richard Ney, could ask the state Supreme Court to order Martin to reverse that decision and disqualify the district attorney’s office, but the Kansas Supreme Court denied Ney’s request Nov. 25.

The court’s reasoning on why it denied Ney’s request was not made clear in the order, which simply states that it was “considered by the court and denied.”

Following the Kansas Supreme Court’s decision, the case can move forward again in Douglas County District Court, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said.

No further hearings have been set, but the jury trial is schedule for March 20, 2015.

Martin Miller has been out of jail since posting a $250,000 bond in April.

During a March court appearance, Miller’s attorney said Miller would arrange to live with his wife, Laura Cuthbertson, and her father at a home in Paola.

Miller and Cuthbertson married while Miller was in prison in 2006.

A CLOSE

“So there’s been a restructuring happening in the state,” chief economist Tyler Tenbrink told Gov. Sam Brownback’s Council of Economic Advisors.

“And that’s not unlike the U.S. level. The U.S. didn’t lose quite that many manufacturing jobs, but also on the recovery they gained a lot of professional and business service jobs.”

The council held its quarterly meeting Wednesday and received generally good economic news. Labor Department officials said job growth during the second quarter of this year, April through June, was actually stronger than previously estimated.

And the Kansas Index of Leading Economic Indicators is trending up.

But the jobs report was a mixed bag, showing that while the total number of jobs has recovered, the people who lost jobs during the Great Recession are not necessarily the same as those who have found new ones.

From April 2008 through January 2010, the low point of the Recession in Kansas, the state lost 76,900 private-sector jobs, Tenbrink said. Of those, more than 29,300, or about 38 percent, came from the manufacturing sector.

Since then, Tenbrink said, the state has regained only 600 manufacturing jobs, or 0.2 percent of

those that were lost. But job growth in the service sectors and other parts of the economy have been strong, boosting total private-sector employment slightly above its pre-recession level.

“So we traded a plant worker for an engineer or an accountant?” Brownback asked rhetorically.

Tenbrink explained that the professional and business services sector includes three groups: management services, such as people who work to manage other companies; professional, scientific and technical services, which includes doctors, scientists and other professionals; and administrative and support workers, such as office managers and secretaries.

In addition, Tenbrink said, while the total number of private-sector jobs has recovered since the recession, real personal income, adjusted for inflation, has not.

In October 2009, the average worker across all private-sector businesses in Kansas earned $22.53 per hour. That fell to a low of $21.54 in March 2012, at which point the trend started to rebound. The latest estimate for October 2014 was $22.01 per hour.

“We have been making progress in wages.

We haven’t gotten up to pre-recession levels,” Tenbrink said.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY ITALIAN PROFESSOR EMERITA JAN KOZMAN, continues teaching Italian culture in various community forums.

KU Italian professor emerita continues broadening horizons

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Jan Kozma is a self-described “stickler” when it comes to Italian grammar.

Yet when she reflects on her more than 37 years of teaching Italian, parts of speech and sentence diagrams don’t stand out as the most memorable.

She’s proud of her stellar students who went on to earn doctoral degrees in the language, but realizes that many more enriched their lives by applying Italian to international travel or other careers.

“You teach to broaden their horizons and to open a world to them,” Kozma said. “You could really change lives, and that’s been just wonderful.”

Kozma retired in August from Kan-

sas University, where she taught since 1977 in the department of French and Italian.

In retirement she is continuing to share that horizon-broadening Italian culture with a different slice of the population through KU’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, where she has lectured the 50-plus crowd for the past couple years.

“Each semester she’s been able to offer a new look at Italian culture, language, art, literature,” Osher director Jim Peters said. “The minute we release our course schedule and open registration, our courses fill right up.

She’s become very popular for our participants.”

over the hiring procedure they effectively do,” Kraus said.

According to documents Students for a Sustainable Future shared with the Journal-World: KU first hired Hall in 2004. His employment offer for the 2012-2013 school year lists his annual salary as $108,000 and notes: “A contingent upon funding designation indicates that this position is partially or fully funded by restricted funds, grants, funds contingent upon grants, or endowed funds.”

From 1997 to 2004, Hall was chief economist for the Public Sector Group of Koch Industries Inc., according to his resume. He has a doctoral degree in economics, previously held a number of government and private sector jobs and taught economics at Baker University’s Wichita campus and the University of Georgia.

Honoring national disabilities leader, John D. Kemp 4 PM Sunday, Dec. 14 @ the Dole Institute

Police arrest man who accidentally shot self in leg Lawrence police have arrested a man who told officers that he had been shot Wednesday morning.

Police discovered that the alleged shooting was actually an accidental, self-inflicted injury, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

Demetris Deshaun Reese, 33, of Lawrence, was arrested on suspicion of criminal possession of

a firearm by a convicted felon Wednesday after showing up at Lawrence Memorial Hospital around 3 a.m. with a gunshot wound to his leg, McKinley said.

Lawrence police were dispatched to the hospital to investigate, and Reese reportedly told officers that the shooting occurred around 1:45 a.m. in the parking lot of Allstars Gentlemen’s Club,

913 N. Second St., in North Lawrence.

After questioning Reese and “several other people,” McKinley said officers determined Reese had accidentally shot himself.

Lawrence police continue to investigate the incident, McKinley said.

Reese is currently in the Douglas County Jail on a $2,000 bond.

MAKING

MARY Theatre Lawrence’s huge, ‘magical’ production of ‘Poppins’ takes flight

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

W

hen work began earlier this year on Theatre Lawrence’s production of “Mary Poppins,” director Mary Doveton gave her cast and crew a seemingly counterintuitive set of guidelines.

“From minute one, Mary’s been very much like, ‘Forget the movie. Forget everything Disney,’” says James Diemer, the show’s technical director.

“We want to take this from the point of view of the book.”

Those expecting a carbon copy of the 1964 classic film starring Julie Andrews may be in for a surprise come Friday evening, when “Mary Poppins” debuts at Theatre Lawrence.

The stage musical, which premiered in London 10 years ago, is more faithful to P.L. Travers’ book series than the Disney film that mixed cartoons with live action, although some of the songs are the same.

Dancing penguins won’t appear on stage this weekend, but audiences will still be every bit as charmed by Theatre Lawrence’s production, Doveton says.

Records

“You know the movie, and you know the books. It’s all about magic,” she says. “It’s all about making the impossible happen and feeling like it’s ordinary. The whole premise is anything can happen if you let it.”

That’s certainly the case with members of the show’s technical crew, says Doveton, who have been “stretching their imagination” to great lengths in order to pull everything off.

Doveton, Theatre Lawrence’s longtime executive director, steps in about once or twice a year to direct. Out of the “hundreds and hundreds” of productions she’s helmed over her career, “Mary Poppins” is perhaps the biggest, she says.

The musical’s lengthy list of “scenic demands” includes hundreds of costumes for a nearly 30-member cast, sets with 48 walls and 122 casters and “pages and pages and pages” of props, says Diemer, who faced the daunting challenge of recreating the story’s fantastical elements without much help from the script.

“The script is written from the point of view of magic, but

Hall said he typically approaches his own analyses from a market-based perspective, a philosophy shared by Charles Koch and lauded in his book “The Science of Success: How Market Based Management Built the World’s Largest Private Company.”

Hall reiterated the issue of academic freedom.

“When there’s a point of view being expressed that’s part of academic freedom,” he said. “If I’m testifying before the Legislature I’m mandated by KU policy to say that my opinions are my own.”

But would Travers have approved of Theatre Lawrence’s musical?

“I’m not sure she was pleased with anything,” Doveton says with a laugh, though the director thinks the production is “truer in spirit with the book.”

For Doveton, staging “Mary Poppins” has been an especially gratifying experience.

The daughter of a librarian, Doveton first fell in love with Travers’ books as a young girl. Decades later, she remains a fan.

“It’s been a real gift to be able to bring this to the stage, because it is such a warm, magical story.

The committee originally proposed eight specific boundary alterations, impacting enrollment at 12 schools, to balance enrollment. All but one of the proposed new boundaries would take effect before the 2015-2016 school year.

The district agreed to evaluate other options after parents from the Deerfield, Schwegler and Quail Run communities raised concerns about transportation, overcrowding and divided neighborhoods.

According to district data, Deerfield, Langston Hughes and Schwegler elementary schools, along with

Southwest Middle, are near capacity.

Four members of the public attended Wednesday’s meeting. After adjournment, two of them repeated their frustration to board members after hearing they would not endorse a new boundary regarding Deerfield-Sunset Hill.

Rick Ingram, a member of both the boundary committee and school board, said he does not expect the Deerfield-Sunset Hill recommendation to be approved by the school board, despite the committee’s position. In past meetings, school board members and parents have noted their concern about students crossing busy Sixth Street to attend Sunset Hill.

Appeals court denies AG’s request for review of same-sex marriage

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A federal appeals court in Denver has denied a request by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt for a full, 12-judge review of a lower court’s ruling last month that allowed same-sex marriages to go forward in Douglas and Sedgwick counties.

The decision means that same-sex marriages can continue in those counties, at least for the time being, and the attorney general’s appeal will have to go through the normal process of being heard by a three-judge panel instead of the entire

This spring Kozma’s three-lecture course for Osher will be titled “Appreciating Italian Opera.”

She’ll also offer a onetime lecture, sponsored

by KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. “Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Parmigiano: Building Blocks of Italian Cooking” will blend history, anecdotes and recipes for the ingredients. Participants are asked to RSVP with Brandon Woodard at brandon.woodard@ ku.edu.

Kozma is a native Italian speaker and has traveled to the country throughout her life.

She grew up in Michigan in a small town with her mother and maternal grandparents, all Italian, and her father and paternal grandparents, who were Hungarian.

She went on to study Italian at the University of Michigan.

Kozma’s research specialty is 19th and 20th century Italian novels and poetry; she has translated several novels and hopes to do more in retirement. In 1978 she started the Summer Language Institute in Florence, a summer study abroad program that continues today at KU. Her Osher lectures are adapted from semesterlong culture and civilization classes she created for KU students. The courses cover Italy’s geography, history, Roman archaeology, opera, art history, cinema, literature and, finally, cuisine and wine.

Of course a class could be taught on those subjects for any country, Kozma said. Arguably, though, there are reasons people are so interested in hers.

“It’s just that the Italians have been doing it best,” Kozma said.

Schmidt’s office did not immediately comment on the 10th Circuit’s most recent action. But Schmidt has said he intends to continue fighting the case until there is a clear decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the Kansas ban on samesex marriage.

“This is not much news, but it does indicate that none of the active judges bought the AG’s arguments that the decisions in (two recent same-sex marriage cases) were inconsistent with prior 10th Circuit precedent,” said Doug Bonney, legal director of the ACLU of Kansas who filed the lawsuit.

Warning flag A recent audit raises some concerns about the ability of city revenues to keep up with rising city expenses.

M

ost Lawrence taxpayers probably aren’t surprised that an audit presented to Lawrence city commissioners this week showed a sizable increase in city spending.

The audit showed that the city’s general expenses had increased by about $4.5 million last year. At the same time the city balance sheet, which measures city assets against expenses, grew at its slowest rate since 2004. While benchmark cities saw their assets grow by about 4 percent in 2013, Lawrence’s assets grew by less than 2 percent.

City Auditor Michael Eglinski attributed part of that downturn to the loss of federal stimulus money, but it seems that most of the benchmark cities would have faced a similar loss. It seems, therefore, that Lawrence is having more trouble than other cities in producing enough revenue to keep up with its growing expenses.

For instance, the city has invested significantly in its water and sewer infrastructure in recent years, and revenues have not kept pace. In 2013, the city had $7.06 million in net sewer and water revenue and had to pay $5.27 million on bonds. The year before, the city had $4.5 million in debt and $8.6 million in net revenue, providing a significantly larger cushion. A relatively wet summer last year reduced water demand and, consequently city revenues, Eglinski said.

It’s hard to argue with spending money on infrastructure improvements to support a core city service, especially when those improvements are financed directly from user fees. This situation warrants monitoring, but as long as the city doesn’t have to dip into other funds to make up shortfalls in water and sewer revenue, maintaining infrastructure is a good investment.

However, in recent years, the city has committed to a number of projects — its new library, a new recreation center, a new director of arts and culture — that will have a long-term impact on city expenses. In addition to that, the city has ongoing expenses, some of which may have been pushed back to make room for spending on special projects. For instance, City Manager David Corliss noted that replacement of aging city vehicles and equipment may be a significant budget item next year.

The bottom line of this audit confirms that Lawrence’s city tax revenue currently isn’t keeping up with its growing desire for new facilities and initiatives. It’s a warning flag that likely will be the topic of considerable discussion in next year’s City Commission election campaign.

Incumbents loath to give up grants Washington — In 2010, Plymouth, Conn., was awarded $430,000 for widening sidewalks and related matters near two schools.

This money was a portion of the $612 million Congress authorized for five years of the federal Safe Routes to School program intended to fight childhood obesity by encouraging children to burn calories by walking or biking to school. Really.

Fortunately, Plymouth is near Sharon, Conn., home of the Buckley family, whose members, when their gimlet eyes notice nonsense, become elegantly polemical. So, Congress’ Safe Routes silliness inadvertently did something excellent. It helped to provoke James Buckley to write a slender book that, if heeded, would substantially improve American governance.

Buckley’s late brother Bill, when asked how he found topics for three columns a week, said the world irritated him at least that often.

James, 91, who has now been constructively annoyed by Congress, was a U.S. senator (1971-77), then an undersecretary of state, then a judge on the nation’s second-most important court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Now, with his “Saving Congress from Itself: Emancipating the States and Empowering Their People,” he continues the family tradition of stand-

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Will legislators addicted to purchasing incumbency with grants-in-aid submit to the states for ratification an amendment that would limit their tenure in office?” ing athwart destructive tendencies shouting “Stop!”

Buckley proposes ending federal grants to state and local governments, a category of spending that has ballooned from $24.1 billion in 1970 to an estimated $640.8 billion in fiscal 2015. Devising such spending, Buckley says, absorbs much of Congress’ time, diverting it from “core national responsibilities” and toward concerns that are properly — he says constitutionally — the concerns of the states.

Courts, however, have construed the “general welfare” language of the Constitution’s Spending Clause (taxes may be raised “to pay the debts and provide for the

common defense and general welfare”) as permitting Congress to spend on anything, including to “induce” (the Supreme Court’s word) states to accept federal preferences about state responsibilities.

In 1987, the Supreme Court said it is “question(able) whether ‘general welfare’ is a judicially enforceable restriction at all.”

So congressional spending is limited only by Congress’ self-restraint, or that of state and local governments that are free to reject the spending and the administrative costs that come with it, and the federal pre-emption of lower governments’ latitude in setting priorities. By 2010, Buckley says, the more than 1,100 grant-in-aid programs available to states and/or localities constituted 17 percent of the federal budget, the third largest spending category after entitlements and defense.

The political class, however, uses grants-in-aid to purchase the votes of citizens who see only the large sums of federal money, not the distortions of state and local decisions. Having lived long and seen much, Buckley knows how unlikely it is that members of Congress will embrace his idea, absent an ancillary reform: term limits.

During the 19th century, Buckley says, when the Senate actually earned the sobriquet “world’s greatest de-

liberative body,” fewer than 10 percent of the senators “who served the equivalent of at least one term went on to serve more than two.” Of the three antebellum giants — Henry Clay, John Calhoun and Daniel Webster — only Webster served the equivalent of three full terms.

“This,” Buckley writes, “suggests that a senator is able to make a significant contribution to his country’s welfare within the 12-year limit that I would place on senatorial service.”

Buckley will soon have a term-limits ally less than half his age. Ben Sasse, 42, Nebraska’s senator-elect, plans to introduce a constitutional amendment limiting House and Senate members to four and two terms, respectively. Will legislators addicted to purchasing incumbency with grants-inaid submit to the states for ratification an amendment that would limit their tenure in office? State legislatures are responsive to public support for term limits, and are composed of politicians eager to open federal offices to their ascent.

Congress can be bludgeoned by a public aroused on behalf of term limits. And when purged of careerism, Congress can cure its addiction to grants-in-aid and other bad habits.

Explaining white privilege What follows is for the benefit of one William James O’Reilly Jr. — “Bill” to his fans.

Last summer, Mr. O’Reilly, a pundit for Fox “News,” spent time talking about white privilege and his contention that no such thing exists. He debated this with colleague Megyn Kelly, and sparred about it with Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show.” Part of Mr. O’Reilly’s reasoning is that because Asian-Americans (according to him) make more money and are better educated than whites, what we really should be talking about is “Asian privilege.”

Except, of course, that privilege is not a direct function of income or education. The inability — or, more aptly, the unwillingness — of Mr. Reilly and others of his ilk to get this, to understand what privilege is and how it works, is an ongoing source of exasperation for your humble correspondent.

The good news is, O’Reilly and his ilk can now educate themselves for the price of a couple mouse clicks.

With the first click, they should play video of Joseph Houseman, a 63-year-old white man who, back in May, stood with a rifle on a street in Kalamazoo, Mich. When police arrived, he refused to identify himself, grabbed his crotch, flipped them the bird and cursed. They talked him down in an encounter that lasted 40 minutes. Houseman was not arrested. The next day, he got his gun back.

With the second click, O’Reilly should play video

of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy who, last month, was playing with a realisticlooking toy gun in a Cleveland park. When police arrived, an officer jumped out of the car and shot him at point-blank range. There was no talking him down. Indeed, the entire encounter, from arrival to mortal wounds, took about two seconds.

It should be noted that anyone who waves a real — or real-looking — firearm in an encounter with police risks getting shot. We should also question who, if anyone, was irresponsible, inattentive or immature enough to allow Tamir to play — outside, yet — with that deadly toy. The resultant tragedy was all too easy to foresee.

That said, anyone looking to define white privilege would be well advised to ponder the 40 minutes police spent sorting things out with the white man and the two seconds it took them to shoot the black boy. Privilege, you see, is not about being born with a silver spoon in one hand and a scholarship in the other. One can be poorer than dirt and a sixth-grade dropout and still enjoy white privilege.

Jenkins blasts Obama as House passes tax bill Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., voted with the Republican majority Wednesday in passing a compromise tax bill that extend for one year certain tax breaks that expired at the end of 2013.

But she also blasted President Barack Obama for threatening to veto a larger tax bill that will likely re-emerge next year when Republicans take control of the U.S. Senate.

“In this environment, in divided government, we nearly had a plan to give some stability to our tax code,” Jenkins said in a statement on the eve of Wednesday’s vote. “Then the president spoke, saying it’s my way or the

Republicans and some Democrats had wanted a more extensive bill that would have made some of those tax breaks permanent but would have phased out the wind energy tax credit after 2017.

The larger bill also did not include two Democratic priorities: a permanent expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and a child tax credit for lowincome families.

HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas’ next coach must target walk-ons The next Kansas head football coach will need to entice more than just scholarship players to sign on the dotted line in order to assemble a roster with any significant depth. He also will need to convince walk-ons to come on board with a chance to earn scholarships after two years.

Here’s why: The scholarship limit for Football Bowl Subdivision rosters is 85.

No more than 25 scholarships can be awarded for any one recruiting class.

Let’s look at the numbers for KU’s thinner-than-aFord-model roster. Just 50 players who came to Kansas on scholarship will be on the spring roster, plus four who were given scholarships at some point in their careers. That would mean a recruiting class of 25 would bring the roster to 79 scholarship players on the roster, 19 of whom have one more year of eligibility.

So that means 60 would be on the roster the following spring, plus a recruiting class of 25 brings the total to 85 for 2016.

That’s if no players have career-ending injuries, or quit football, or become academic casualties or transfer. It’s inevitable that they will lose some players, probably leaving the roster well under 80. The gaps must be filled by walk-ons.

It’s always easier to land in-state walk-ons who have enough talent to build their bodies and their games in a way that they can earn scholarships, simply because it’s less painful for a family and/or the athlete himself to pay in-state tuition.

Walk-ons who committed today would have good reason to believe that they could earn scholarships for their final two seasons, for a couple of reasons. One, Kansas likely still will be under the scholarship limit of 85 because of attrition.

Two, athletes who spend two years as walk-ons at a school and then are given scholarships do not count against the limit of 25 scholarships per year, just against the total of 85.

Many Kansas high school football coaches felt that KU’s previous two head coaches did not have a healthy respect for Kansas recruits, so the next coach will have some damage to repair, unless he already is known in the area.

That’s why it’s good to hear that the loudest whispers about candidates interviewing this week center on coaches who have Kansas ties. Interim head Please see KEEGAN, page 3B

Ziegler sets record; Firebirds win opener

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior swimmer Jack Ziegler entered the season with his eyes set on the 50-yard freestyle school record. He wasn’t far behind it at the end of last year when he took 10th at state in the event.

When he started swimming on Wednesday, in the first meet of the season, he knew he was feeling well enough to have a shot at it. But when he looked at the times on the scoreboard, that’s when the

celebration began. He shattered the mark with a time of 21.64, breaking the old record (21.92) that was set by Chris Wolff in 2004.

Ziegler’s record performance was one of the many highlights for the Free State boys swimming and diving team in its season-opening victory in the FSHS quadrangular at the Indoor Aquatic Center. The Firebirds won seven of the 12 events.

“It was pretty awesome,” said Ziegler, who also took first place in the 100 free-

style. “I’ve had my eye on that record for a long time, so it’s nice to finally get it.”

Ziegler, who qualified for state in both events he won, celebrated with teammates on the pool deck after he touched the wall and he looked up to see his time.

The Firebirds won all three relays, and also picked up victories from Ethan Kallenberger in the 100 backstroke and Sydney Lin in the 100 breaststroke.

“Jack and I both train yearround,” said Kallenberger, who noted he’s improved his

form since last season. “It’s just helped both of us because not only are we able to stay in shape but we’re able to chisel away at our times.”

Free State was also boosted by strong performances from Brett Carey in the 200 individual medley (second place), diver Chad Bourdon (second place) and Cooper Schmiedeler in the 200 freestyle (third place).

“I was thrilled with the team today,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “The Please see SWIMMING, page 3B

Jayhawks hope to avoid Florida repeat

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Things were looking great for Kansas University’s basketball team early in last season’s Big 12/SEC Challenge contest against Florida in Gainesville.

A 10-3 lead, however, quickly morphed into a 2410 deficit, courtesy of a 21-0 Gators’ run. The outcome was never really in doubt after that, the No. 13-ranked

Jayhawks ultimately falling to the No. 19 Gators, 67-61.

“I mean we all watched it and played in that game.

It wasn’t pretty at all,” KU sophomore forward Landen Lucas said Wednesday. “To be able to play them again is going to be fun for us and definitely something we’re looking forward to.”

The Jayhawks, who return six players, and Gators, who bring back four who played in last year’s game,

will tangle again in a Big 12/ SEC Challenge rematch at 8 p.m., Friday, in Allen Fieldhouse.

“We started the game out all right. They went to a 1-31 and gave us problems. We turned the ball over a lot and they broke out the lead crazy,” recalled KU junior Jamari Traylor. “We made plays down the stretch with Andrew (Wiggins, 26 points). It was not as close a game as the score was.”

Watching tape of last year’s KU-Florida game has helped ground the No. 11-ranked Jayhawks, who were elated upon winning Sunday’s Orlando Classic championship battle against Michigan State. Unranked Florida (3-3), meanwhile, went 1-2 last week, beating UAB and losing to North Carolina and Georgetown at the Battle4Atlantis.

VERITAS CHRISTIAN WINTER PREVIEW

Eagles set hoops sights high

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

The winter sports season already started at Veritas Christian, after its boys basketball team played a game last week. The Eagles have their eyes set on not just starting the season on a strong note, but playing well at the state tournament in March.

Here is a look at the Veritas basketball teams:

Boys basketball After taking fourth place at the KCAA state tournament last year, Veritas

Christian’s boys basketball team has higher sights on its mind.

The Eagles have five players who started at least one game last year, led by junior guard Chad Stieben, junior guard Miles Dressler and senior forward Drake Napier. Junior Mark Weinhold and sophomore Michael Rask rounded out the starting lineup in Veritas’ first game of the year, a 64-55 victory over Calvary.

“We had great summer workouts and played extremely well in the summerending Eudora Tournament,” said first-year coach Carl

Huslig, who had coached Veritas’ junior high team for the last three years. “The confidence from that tournament has carried over to our early practices. We have all of the parts for an extremely successful season.”

Veritas is also hoping to get key minutes on the floor from sophomore guard Weston Flory, junior forward Isaiah Garrett and sophomore forward River Welch.

The Eagles are still Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo working on developing a reliable point guard and a REPRESENTATIVES FROM VERITAS CHRISTIAN’S basketball teams: Drake Napier, left, and Maci Please see VERITAS, page 3B Dressler.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

76ers 85, Timberwolves 77 Minneapolis — Philadelphia avoided tying the record for the worst start to a season in NBA history, ending its 0-17 skid with a victory over Minnesota.

Michael Carter-Williams had 20 points, nine rebounds and nine assists and Robert Covington added 17 points to keep Philadelphia from tying the 0-18 start by the New Jersey Nets in 2009-10.

The game got off to an awkward start when 16 seconds into the first quarter, referees realized that the two teams were going in the wrong direction. A foul on the Timberwolves had to be wiped away and the game restarted with a new jump ball, prompting heads to be scratched all over the arena.

By the end, the Sixers wound up going the right away, although it wasn’t easy.

The Sixers shot just 39 percent against the worst defense in the league and turned the ball over 19 times. They scored only nine points in the second quarter, but in the end there were smiles and hugs for the first time this season.

Gorgui Dieng had 15 points and 16 rebounds for the Timberwolves. But Minnesota shot just 35.7 percent and turned the ball over 19 times to lose for the 11th time in 13 games.

The Sixers have been competitive in recent losses to Western Conference heavyweights San Antonio, Dallas and Portland and entered this game with real hope that the streak would come to an end.

sive linemen, from Blue Springs, Missouri, all were recruited by Kansas.

Reaching the conclusion that Kansas would have a better shot at them if it hired a coach before Nebraska did might be an oversimplification, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Make the choice by Monday. Negotiate the deal by Tuesday. Announce it Wednesday and start relentlessly raiding those Nebraska recruits and intensifying relationships in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

It will take time for the new coach to dig out of this mess. The sooner he has the shovel in his hands, the better.

vocal leader, but are excited about their potential to finish higher than last year at state.

“Chad Stieben was our leading scorer last year and will be counted on heavily again,” Huslig said. “However, we have shooters at all five positions. Defensively, we have athletes at every position that should allow us to be a very good defensive team.”

After the seasonopening win, the Eagles will play again today in the Shea Tournament.

Indiana, Fordham and Texas-San Antonio. n Streaking: Forward Chelsea Gardner’s senior season with the Jayhawks has brought seven straight double-figure scoring outputs. Gardner is shooting 57.6 percent from the floor, and during KU’s last three games, she is averaging 15 points and 8.7 rebounds.

also added a victory in the 200 individual medley and Alex Heckman took second place in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke.

The Lions kept the score close with Free State throughout the meet, which helped give them a boost at the end of the meet.

“I was pretty proud of us,” said junior Chase Odgers, who took third in the 100 butterfly.

“Last year, we didn’t do this well all year pretty much. In the first meet, we come out and get

two relays qualified (for state).”

With the boost of some talented newcomers, the Lions have the star power to compete for victories at meets.

“We’re probably about where we were at the end of the season last year,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “It’s everybody.

Even the new guys are stepping up and doing really well, so I’m pretty happy with it.”

Both schools will compete in the Manhattan Invitational on Wednesday.

Girls basketball Not many girls basketball teams can match the speed and defensive pressure of Veritas.

The Eagles have quick guards who cause havoc for opposing ball handlers.

That speed and defense comes primarily from guard Tori Huslig, guard Alyssa Krestan and forward Maci Dressler. Huslig averaged more than six steals and 18.4 points per game last year.

“We are excited to mix in the newcomers with their defensive pressure and quickness to our returners from last year,” 14th-year coach Kevin Shelton said. “We hope

to be able to begin where we left off and add even more defensive pressure to our opponents.”

Veritas, which went 1312 last season, also brings in freshman Emma Wilson, who has shown a strong knack for scoring in practice, along with Nefertiti Shepherd and Nefertari Shepherd.

“Our biggest challenge early is to fit together all of our new young players defensively and come together as one strong unit,” Shelton said. “If we are consistent defensively then will will be difficult for all of our opponents.”

The Eagles will start their season today in the Shea Tournament.

The finals were scheduled for today.

Reaney is scheduled to swim the 100-meter breaststroke on Friday and the 200-meter breaststroke on Sunday.

Maryland got 16 points from freshman Melo Trimble and 14 from Jake Layman.

“Even though the game ended up being respectable from a score standpoint, they totally dominated us,” KU coach Bill Self said of last year’s contest. “We played awful. They were the best defensive team in the country and they’re very good defensively again.

They’re definitely a team that will be a high seed in the tournament.”

Florida has three starters who are double-figure scorers — junior guard Michael Frazier II (15.2 ppg), junior forward Dorian Finney-Smith (10.3 ppg) and senior center Jon Horford (10.3 ppg). l Starters faring well: Self has been pleased with the starting lineup of Frank Mason III, Svi Mykhailiuk, Perry Ellis, Lucas and Wayne Selden Jr., which has opened the last four games.

“We’ve gotten off to better starts. That is it. It doesn’t matter who starts.

It’s a lot more important who finishes,” Self said. “I think Cliff’s (Alexander) going to foul quick. We probably need a big guy to defend other teams’ bigs. Svi, without question, has played the best

Asked about bringing in Alexander off the bench, Self stated: “I don’t know if you noticed this, but Cliff has a tendency sometimes to put his hands on others wearing a different jersey that would lead to a whistle. At least this way, if he gets two quick fouls, he’s going to get it at the 14- or 13-minute mark as opposed to getting it at the 18-minute mark. I also think there’s an advantage of having a chance to watch from his perspective.

“When I was at Illinois, or Tulsa or Oral Roberts, nobody ever gave a crap who started. No media ever did. And here it’s a big deal. I mean, why the big deal? I don’t know,” Self added.

“I think sometimes we get caught up as this or that, and it doesn’t make any difference who starts. It’s far more important who finishes, and whether Cliff starts or not — and he probably will end up starting eventually without question — but if he starts or not, it wouldn’t affect the number of minutes he plays. Foul problems will dictate the number of minutes he plays regardless, just like it has basically every game so far.”

No. 24 West Virginia 80, Fairleigh Dickinson 52 Teaneck, N.J. — Bria Holmes scored 25 points and made four steals and West Virginia had little trouble dispatching Fairleigh Dickinson.

l Graham’s status: Devonté Graham (sprained shoulder) should be able to play Friday.

“Devonté is fine. He wears a yellow shirt in practice (with players not allowed to hit him).

I don’t know what that means. But football does it, so I guess we should try to copy football,” Self joked. “He’s practicing full speed. I think it was good that we only had to use him limited minutes, though (in Orlando Classic), to try to reduce the exposure that he had out there.” l Naismith list: KU’s Perry Ellis, Cliff Alexander and Wayne Selden Jr., have made the 50-player Naismith Trophy watch list, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced. Arizona, Duke and Kentucky also had three players on the list. l Self on Mykhailiuk, who averages 6.0 points a game as a 17-year-old: “Well, if he leaves after two years, because that’s what we’ll have him for more than likely is two years ... he could be terrific. He could be as good a basketball player as we’ve had here. Not the best athlete, but as good of a basketball player as we’ve had here. Think of him four years from now,

that’s going to be a bad boy and he’s still going to be ridiculously young.

He’s got a bright future.” l Mason rebounding: The 5-foot-11 Mason is averaging 4.0 rebounds a game.

“He was our best defensive rebounder. I mean he went and got them better than anybody else did,” Self said of Mason’s 10-rebound outing against MSU. “They were two-foot jumps and they were two-handed. He was, without question, the most aggressive going after the ball.”

Asked if Mason reminded him of Sherron Collins, Self said: “Sherron is the baddest boy we’ve had here. It’s hard to say that anybody is Sherron. I mean, you know, Wiggs (Andrew Wiggins) was great last year. There are a lot of guys we had that great.

There’s nobody that came in here that was a better basketball player than Sherron Collins, period. The thing about it is, Frank’s more athletic than Sherron, because as Sherron got older, I don’t think he was quite as explosive as he was when he was young. But I love Frank, but that would be a great goal, for him to get to the point where he can play like Sherron, because that guy was a spe- Top 25 Schedule Friday cial college player.”

Dear Annie: I have been married for 28 years to a hardworking man. We have one teenage daughter.

“Kara” is very smart, and my husband spoils her rotten. Kara has her own car, and my husband gives her money whenever she asks for it. We have some money saved in a college account for her, but she wants to attend an elite school that is more than we can afford.

I think Kara needs to take the money we have saved and figure the rest out, but my opinion doesn’t matter. My husband will now delay retirement in order to pay for her to go to the school of her dreams. I think this is wrong and it’s causing much tension in our household.

What is your opinion?

— Annoyed Mom Dear Annoyed: Your

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

husband is willing to do whatever he can to give Kara what she wants. You don’t think an expensive school is worth it, and you were looking forward to his retirement.

This isn’t so much about “winning” the argument as it is about accepting whatever decision is reached. We suggest you and your husband sit down with an unbiased third party and speak openly of your concerns. If Kara

Will NBC’s ‘Peter Pan’ pan out?

Can Allison Williams sing?

And can she perform with enough gusto to carry “Peter Pan Live!” (7 p.m., NBC) — the second annual TV event for NBC? Last year’s revival of “The Sound of Music,” starring Carrie Underwood as Maria Von Trapp, scored solid ratings and lit up social media with commentary good, bad and ugly.

Underwood’s fans adored her, but some felt that her voice was too weak and too twangy to hold a holiday candle to past memorable performances of Von Trapp by Julie Andrews and Mary Martin.

Martin, who starred in “The Sound of Music” on Broadway in 1959, was also well known to early television viewers for her role in NBC’s 1955 version of “Peter Pan,” the inspiration for tonight’s effort.

Allison Williams is not a professional singer, but clips of her performances can be found all over YouTube and other sites.

Best known for her role on HBO’s “Girls,” she is the daughter of NBC News anchor Brian Williams.

But Williams is not the only famous offspring involved in the special. New songs have been composed by Amanda Green, the daughter of Adolph Green, who collaborated on the original “Peter Pan” with Jule Styne and Betty Comden.

Perhaps there’s something to this fantasy about children never growing up that inspires famous progeny. Mary Martin’s son, Larry Hagman, became a TV celebrity of his own, starring in “I Dream of Jeannie” and “Dallas.”

Tonight’s “Peter Pan Live!” also stars Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. Better known for playing strange and/or menacing figures, Walken appeared in the film adaptation of “Hairspray” in 2007. And, of course, he appeared in the “more cowbell” sketch on “Saturday Night Live” in 2000. Also, Minnie Driver will appear in tonight’s musical as the narrator.

Tonight’s other highlights

A murdered psychology professor may have played one head game too many on “Bones” (7 p.m. Fox).

Carver’s heart condition becomes critical on “Gracepoint” (8 p.m., Fox).

Cartography can be murder on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Jeff Bridges is 65. Actor-comedian Fred Armisen is 48. Rapper Jay-Z is 45. Actressmodel Tyra Banks is 41.

doesn’t go to her expensive college, will she use it as an excuse to blame her parents if she isn’t successful? Will your resentment boil over and create a permanent rift?

Would your husband be willing to have Kara take out student loans for a portion of the cost?

Hopefully, your discussion will allow for some kind of agreement so that each of you can let go of whatever resentment currently exists.

Dear Annie: I love my family and friends dearly, but some of them think it is perfectly OK to stop by unannounced.

I ask only for a simple phone call to see whether it is a convenient time for them to pop in. They all have cellphones, so it’s not a matter of them being unable to call. I understand the occasional unannounced visit, but not every time. How can

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Dec. 4: This year you often find that you are challenged by others; they don’t hesitate to be bold and blunt.

If you are single, you might meet someone who intrigues you. Know that this relationship will be quite good. If you are attached, learn to respect your differences.

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) Read between the lines if someone seems overly concerned about something. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Make it OK to be spontaneous. Take some time to have an important chat with a loved one. Tonight: Share some munchies.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Others might be trying to make your life easier, even though you could have a difficult time realizing it. Tonight: Make a great escape.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might be somewhat careless with some facet of your life, as you could be too absorbed in what you are doing.

Tonight: Spend time with a friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will want to rethink a decision that involves someone you don’t want to upset. Tonight: Count on being out late.

I get them to stop? — G. Dear G.: If you answered the door in your birthday suit, you might get them to call first, but don’t bet on it. Some people believe it is flattering that they feel so welcome, they pop in without notice.

And while you might appreciate the thought, it is also inconsiderate to show up and interrupt your day when you may have other things going on. You can say, “I wish I’d known you were stopping by. I have to run out. Sorry.”

And then leave. Or you can close the blinds and not answer the door, but we suspect if you were willing to do that, they would already know to phone first.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to help energize loved ones, as they could be dragging. Tonight: Keep to a strict exercise plan.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to be triggered easily. Be careful, because what you dish out is likely to be returned. Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend already.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be careful with how you handle any domestic or personal issue right now. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s plans.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll convey your good intentions. Step back and take an overview of a private matter that’s close to your heart. Tonight: Hang out at a local haunt.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have some insight into a situation that you won’t want to share with others just yet. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you feel frustrated, your temper could explode.

Release any tension before you become angry. Tonight: Head home first.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Others might want to lure you into their way of thinking.

Listen to their opinions. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

style scout

fashion from the streets of lawrence

By Ed Demasio

Sharyn Harley

Cyrus Hodgson

Age: 34 Hometown: I guess my hometown is Lawrence by now.

Relationship status: I’m with my soul mate.

Occupation: I own a yoga studio called OmTree Shala.

Dream job: I’d be on tour with my daughter, Rhubarb, doing music.

What were you doing when scouted? Enjoying the Festival of Trees with my kids.

Describe your style: My daughter says I dress like a yogi (instructor).

Fashion trends you love: I love comfortable boots. The bigger, the sloppier, the furrier, the better!

Fashion trends you hate: I personally have no capacity to pull off neon.

Other people do it well but it looks awful on me! I just can’t keep up with it.

Fashion influences: It’s really bad but I love Free People. It’s my major weakness!

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? I would like to see way more people doing Yoga. Less of? Maybe a little less gossip at times. Overall, I love Lawrence.

Tattoos or piercings: My favorite is my nose ring.

It was controversial at first but now no one cares.

It’s amazing what a difference 12 years makes.

Whom do people say you look like?

Mary-Louise Parker What type of music do you like? Jenny Lewis, Kurt Vile, Your Friend, Taryn Miller and a bunch of others.

Tell us a secret: I pretty much listen to Katy Perry exclusively when I run.

Age: 20 Hometown: Milwaukee Time in Lawrence: 17 years Relationship status: Single Occupation: Sales associate and student Dream job: A buyer for high-end clothing brands What were you doing when scouted? Working Describe your style: I think it’s a mix of street wear/ casual, business (look).

Fashion trends you love: I really like monochrome (colors) like black, white and gray that all go together. It’s super-cool stuff.

Fashion trends you hate: I don’t like how the majority of frat guys dress. Polo is a cool brand but the only Polo I really like is the Purple Label.

The stuff that they buy is overpriced and the quality is not always up to par like Brooks Brothers and such.

Fashion influences: I browse like eight different fashion blogs along with Tumblr as well as developing my own ideas and fashion styles.

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? More men dressing better… You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look good. Buy stuff on sale and you can look good. Everything is about fit. Less of? Boat shoes and get rid of anything sparkly.

Tattoos or piercings: No, but I hope to get two sleeves done on both arms in the future.

Whom do people say you look like?

Leonardo DiCaprio Tell us a secret: The most expensive thing I ever bought was a pair of $400 Visvim Virgil boots. They originally retailed for $1,200.

R

eady or not, the holiday season is upon us, and with it comes lots of shopping.

I am always strive to look for the best deals each holiday season. Big-box stores often slash prices this time of year, but when it comes to Christmas shopping, I’ve found some the best bang for my buck shopping downtown.

When you buy a gift at a downtown retailer, you are likely to find something more unique so your gift will stand out among the others, a factor that in itself is priceless.

Below are some tips I use to save money on unique holiday gifts.

person I have no idea what to get.

I learned long ago that sales clerks can be my greatest asset. The key is to pick a price point and be honest with the sales associate.

Last year I didn’t know what to get my 8-year-old stepbrother who likes dinosaurs. I asked one of the employees at The Toy Store, 936 Massachusetts St., who recommended a fossil-digging kit that was within my $25 budget. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes.

Arley Hoskin densation and prevent coaster cling.

A set of coasters may seem like a small and impersonal gift, but when you pair it with a six-pack of Free State Beer, it becomes creative and more personalized. And four coasters and a six-pack of beer won’t even put you out $20.

BE CREATIVE AND BUNDLE

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE BASICS

When shopping for any gift, don’t limit yourself to the items you see in front of you. Rather, imagine what those items could be if paired with other reasonably priced purchases.

For instance, I recently saw some plastic sunflower-shaped coasters at Weaver’s, 901 Massachusetts St., for $2.99 each. They have a curved design with grooves that collect con-

Gloves, scarfs, ties and KU apparel may seem like tired, old gift ideas, but these gifts never go out of style. And there is an abundance of each of these items sold downtown.

I get at least one pair of gloves each year for Christmas, but I feel like I can never have too many, especially if they are good-quality.

A silk scarf from Adorned Boutique, 5 E. Seventh St.

chusetts St., has genuine leather gloves for $28.95 and could be the perfect gift for that person who has everything.

PICK A PRICE POINT AND ASK FOR ADVICE

I have a large family, so inevitably there is always at least one

And last but not least, don’t forget to scan the clearance items.

You make think that all clearance items are out of season and not appropriate holiday gifts, but that’s not true.

During a recent trip to Adorned Boutique, 5 E. Seventh St., I found a silk scarf for $16 and a chunky bracelet to match for $7.50, all in the clearance section. You can pair the two together for a fashionable gift under $25.

Chill Fashion tips to help you stay warm and stylish this winter

By Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy

W

inter is all about trying to stay warm and maintain our style.

We love warming up with beanies, sweaters, boots, hats, leggings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the list goes on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve styled some looks that are easy to throw together and will keep you warm and stylish all season. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy are twin sisters and fashion bloggers who share a blog called Fashion Column Twins at fashioncolumntwins.com. Emily wrote this column. They can be reached at fashioncolumnblog@gmail.com.

Keeping it Casual Casual looks are easy in the wintertime.

Sweaters are our go-to piece.

A pair of skinny jeans styled with a sweater, ankle boots and a wool, wide-brim hat is the perfect winter look. Elizabeth is wearing a wrap-style sweater that can be worn as a cardigan or wrapped around the front. We love the draping on the sides to add some dimension to her look.

A wool hat is a huge trend this winter and is the perfect accessory to finish off your outfit this season.

Cozy Leggings Leggings are a staple in our winter wardrobe.

You can wear them with tunics, oversized sweaters and dresses. Sweater leggings are great to wear if you want to add some festive style to your look. They come in so many different prints, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally comfortable thanks to their knit construction.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing a printed sweater legging, go for a solid tunic sweater or sweater dress to balance out your look.

Boots and a beanie easily complete your winter-ready outfit. Same rule goes for solid-colored leggings; go for a printed top to keep the look streamlined.

Dressing Up Putting together dressy winter looks can be quite the challenge. Tights or no tights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is the question! We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally acceptable to do either.

We tend to go with no tights, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your personal preference. Elizabeth went with a chic lace number while I opted for a midi-length skirt and a turtleneck shirt tucked into the skirt. You could easily add a pair of black, solid tights to either of these outfits. You could also throw on a turtleneck shirt under Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lace dress to warm it up a bit.

Generally, we like to look for darker jewel tones, lace, sequins and bold prints when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dressing it up for winter.

10 Gifts for the gardener

I

f you have a gardener to shop for this holiday season, there are many more creative options than the amaryllis bulb gift sets and windowsill herb planters available at many mass retailers. Here are the top 10 ideas to score big with a gardener:

Linda Cottin

How to wield a power drill

HARVEST/GATHERING BASKETS

Many gardeners rely on recycled plastic containers and buckets to collect cut flowers, fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Select a harvest basket that is attractive as well as useful and it may become a centerpiece in the offseason. Wooden harvest baskets are called trugs.

Other baskets combine wood with metal mesh to allow soil and debris to fall through the basket.

Woven or cloth-lined baskets are best for delicate crops.

PLANTERS/PLANTING CONTAINERS

Local garden centers still have a supply of decorative ceramic planters and sets, but you can take the idea up a notch by selecting a container filled with succulents, a terrarium or clear glass orb with an air plant.

For the trend-setting gardener, check out Sky Planters (upside-down containers for indoor plants), Circle Pots, pod planters or vertical garden planting systems.

WATERING CAN

Yes, if he/she is really a gardener, they probably already have a watering can or two. Chances are, they long for a heavierduty version, or a second one to cut the number of trips they have to make to the faucet in half. Look for high-quality stainless steel or galvanized metal with a powder-coated, painted finish.

Jennifer Smith TOOL CARRIER

Some gardeners prefer a standard toolbox to contain their gardening tools, while others prefer a tote more specific to gardening tools.

A bucket caddy offers pockets for tools while leaving the bucket available to the gardener for collecting trimmings or harvesting.

Some stools also offer tool pockets, or for the gardener-on-the-go, a belt or apron may be more appropriate.

STEPPING STONES

A gardener always needs access to spaces in the garden that are just off the

beaten path, and stepping stones allow them to get there with less damage to existing plants.

Try natural slate as opposed to plain concrete, or look for patterns, designs and sayings with special meaning to your gardening friend.

BIRD FEEDERS

If the gardener is interested in birds, try a window-mounted feeder, one made from recycled materials, or a decorativeyet-functional feeder for the landscape.

Throw in the appropriate bird food for species that live in your area.

BOOKS

There are hundreds of titles from which to choose.

Look for a topic of interest to the gardener and regional specific information when possible.

A few popular titles of

recent years include “All New Square Foot Gardening, Second Edition: The Revolutionary Way to Grow More In Less Space,” “Vertical Gardening: Grow Up, Not Out, for More Vegetables and Flowers in Much Less Space,” “Worm Composting: The Ultimate Guide to Worm Composting for Life,” and the timeless “Encyclopedia of Gardening.”

hesitant to buy these for themselves or admit they need one, but anyone who spends long hours kneeling or bending in the garden can make use of one.

Look for stools and kneelers that are gardeningspecific or that take up little ground space.

TOOLS

Hats and gloves are a Try an ergonomic vernecessity for gardeners who sion or branch out with spend long hours in the sun specialty weeders and and soil, and they must be multi-use tools like a Horireplaced over time.

Count down the holidays with fun activities

I

have a thing for Advent calendars. I love the idea of counting down to anything, really, but — as I’m Clark Griswold-y about Christmas — it tends to be worse around the holidays.

If there’s a party or winter activity going on in town, it’s on our calendar, probably with “hot chocolate” or “read Christmas stories” or some other impromptu ritual penciled in afterward. To make an understatement, I go a tiny bit overboard.

This year our holiday season will involve a newborn baby, so I’ve been trying to scale back in my head for months now. We have to have a tree, but we’ll skip decorating the house. Or maybe we can put lights on the house, but absolutely no greenery. Oh, but hey look!

Christmas wreaths!

It’s a sickness, people.

In seriousness, our only advent calendar this year will probably consist of one of those cardboard jobs

3. And while you’re thinking of toys, drop Meryl Carver-Allmond off one or two in a donation box for other kids with the mediocre chocolate who need them. While it might be easier to make behind each door. But just this a solo errand, I always because I’m (wonderfully) make a point to do it with benched this year, doesn’t mean I can’t live vicariously my 3-year-old in tow. He doesn’t entirely understand through all of you.

If you’re into having fun why we do it yet, but by while you count down to repeating it each year I feel the holidays, here are some like we’re getting there. of our favorite family activi ties for December.

2. Take an evening to 5. Decorate! The house, make hot chocolate and the tree, the chicken coop write letters the big guy, — you can never have Mr. Claus. If your kiddos enough twinkle lights!

6. Watch one Christmas movie you’ve never seen before. I grew up on “Rudolph” and “Frosty,” but until last year, I’d never seen “White Christmas.” A few of our favorites that are lesser-known include “Love Actually” and “The Family Stone.”

7. Make Christmas candy. We’ve inherited recipes for sugar cookies and peanut butter balls, but I always make my own favorite — candied orange peels — too. It’s a little messier with kids, but let them help anyway. Then enjoy looking at the houses decorated with lights as you deliver your goodies to friends.

8. Try your hand at paper snowflakes. With a pair of safety scissors, even little ones can get in on making your house a winter wonderland. I like to use holiday catalogs for the paper — not only does it make the snowflakes

colorful, it’s a good way to recycle.

9. Go see Santa in person.

We always seem to forget this one until the very last possible day, but the pictures are priceless. Weaver’s dependably has a Santa in the store during the weekends leading up to Christmas, but you should call to check for the specific hours.

10. Sled down a big hill on Christmas Eve. Lawrence is just far enough north that a white Christmas is always possible.

Have your sled ready, just in case! Our favorite hill is at Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road (close to the corner of Ninth and Iowa).

Happy holidays!

lectric or cordless power drills are arguably the most widely used power tool around. Drills are seemingly a simple tool to use, but are a few tricks that can make your power drill experience a little more pleasant and efficient.

Step 1: Choose a drill that is balanced and fits well in your hand. If the drill is too heavy or awkward, chances are pretty good that the driving experience will lean toward the unpleasant side of the fence.

Step 2: Understand the speed options on the drill.

Single-speed drills have one speed and no options.

When the power button is pressed, the bit spins at full speed. With a variable speed drill, the farther the trigger button is pressed in, the faster the bit will spin. Multiple speed drills typically have a high and a low speed, sometimes marked “1” for low and “2” for high. Use low speed to drive screws or mix paint and full speed to drill holes.

Step 3: Most drills have a built-in clutch for safety and convenience. The clutch will stop the flow of power to the drill when resistance is encountered to protect the operator from injury. If it is an option, use the torque-adjustment collar to control clutch engagement.

Step 4: The torque-adjustment collar, located on the head of the drill just below the drill bit chuck, will have a range of numbers and possibly a picture of a drill bit and of a hammer.

The higher the number, the higher the resistance must be before the clutch will engage and stop the drill. Use a torque setting between 1 and 5 to drive short screws into materials less than 1/4” thick. Use a setting between 6 and 15 for large screws and thicker materials. Phillips-head screws are designed so bits will “cam out” or jump away from the screw head if torque is set too high. Choose the lowest torque setting possible to maintain optimal control when driving screws. Use the drill bit icon for drilling holes and the hammer icon when using percussion-rated bits to drill into concrete and other hard surfaces.

Step 5: Hold the drill in line with the screw at all times. Apply steady pressure to ensure smooth and straight drilling. When it comes to power drills, slow and steady wins the race… except for the occasional need for a burst of speed.
