Legality of murder sentence challenged

A compendium of Kansas critters

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

A former Kansas State University English professor convicted of killing his ex-wife in 2003 at her home north of Lawrence will be in court again Tuesday. He has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of his prison sentence.

Thomas E. Murray, 56, is serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison for the stabMurray bing death of Carmin Ross, whose body was discovered Nov. 14, 2003, in her home in the 1800 block of East 1150 Road.

A Douglas County jury in 2005 convicted Murray of first-degree murder.

15 native animals star in ‘Bestiary’

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

It was a sound Doug Hitt, and anyone who’s been in Kansas in the spring, had heard before, even if he’d never really thought about it.

But once he learned that the “preep! preep!� was the call of the boreal chorus frog, he could no longer hear it without thinking about where it was coming from. “Once you key into it, a whole world opens up,� Hitt says.

This is the sort of connection to Kansas’ natural world Hitt and his friends Jake Vail and Lisa Grossman hope to spur with their new book, “A Kansas Bestiary.�

That third word (pronounced “best-ee-airy�) refers to a tradition dating to the Middle Ages. In Medieval Europe, a bestiary was a guide to the beasts that populated the land, featuring colorful illustrations and interspersed with Christian theology, fantastical myths and moral lessons.

Alongside entries on the badger or deer might be others on mermaids or unicorns.

Like its European ancestors from 800 or so years ago, this Kansas bestiary is no encyclopedia. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t require painstaking work to produce the essays and watercolor illustrations devoted to 15 different creatures native to the state. “Tons of research went into those very short 600-word essays,� Hitt said.

Hitt, Vail and Grossman are three

The idea for this project came to them more than two years ago after they came across a bestiary for California. “We thought every state should do one of these,� Vail said.

Since then, they’ve been working to put together their own bestiary for their home state.

After taking nominations from scientists, they settled on a mixture of both. It’s a mix of animals that “say ‘Kansas,’� Vail said.

The box turtle and meadowlark are in there. But they chose the regal fritillary butterfly over the more famous monarch, because it depends on Kansas’ tallgrass prairies. And

Murray

prosecution at trial testified contrary to his initial report. According to this argument, the expert found in his initial report an “unknown contributor” in a blood sample mixed with Ross’ blood on a baseboard in Ross’ bathroom, but later testified to something different.

“At trial, however, he altered his conclusion and testified that although not conclusive, he believed the DNA belonged to Tom Murray based upon his review of the results,” defense attorney Jessica Kunen wrote in a court motion. “This conclusion was not reflected in his report and should have been reported to defense counsel prior to trial.”

Since then, Murray’s argument has shifted to faulting the attorneys who represented him at trial.

Adam Hall, another defense attorney now representing Murray, said the DNA expert’s testimony came as a surprise to Murray and his defense.

“His claim is that his defense attorneys should have done something more for him at trial,” Hall said Thursday.

In past filings, Murray and his attorneys have brought other arguments challenging the 2005 trial and claiming failures in his trial defense.

An argument from his appellate defense attorneys that inappropriate statements by prosecutors denied him a fair trial was rejected by the Kansas Supreme Court in 2008. But in more recent court filings, Murray has argued that the current issues had not been brought up in that appeal.

Murray has also argued that his defense attorneys at trial didn’t try to suppress a statement he gave to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigators after his wife’s body was found.

Kunen, a defense attorney in the civil case, argued that the statement was involuntary and that officers did not issue him a Miranda warning at the beginning of the interview.

On Tuesday, Murray’s attorneys will argue the defense attorneys who represented him at the murder trial failed to respond to problems with the state’s DNA evidence. The lawsuit is proceeding as a civil case under a law that allows prisoners to challenge their sentences. It will be heard by Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild, who also presided over the trial in 2005.

Murray has been in the El Dorado Correctional Facility since he was found guilty. His conviction was upheld on appeal in a unanimous 2008 decision by the Kansas Supreme Court, and his earliest release date under the current sentence is Oct. 4, 2029.

The story of Ross’ murder and Murray’s trial has been the subject of a 2009 book and television specials on CBS’ “48 Hours” and Court TV. At the time of the murder, Murray and Ross, a 40-year-old attorney, conflict mediator and peace advocate, were in a postdivorce custody battle over their daughter, who was 4 at the time.

Ross had been beaten, then stabbed 13 times in the neck and back.

Early on, Murray was a prime suspect, but he wasn’t arrested and charged until nearly a year later. No physical evidence tied him conclusively to the scene of the crime, but prosecutors showed Murray had performed Internet searches for terms such as “how to murder someone and not get caught.” He also had cuts and bruises on his hands and arms and was inconsistent in his story to investigators. Murray was convicted after a fiveweek trial, but has denied committing the murder.

When the civil case began in 2011, Murray’s appointed attorney argued that a DNA expert for the

and 2012, he was the police chief for the Park City Police Department near Wichita. Before that, Edwards spent 33 years with the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department, where he served a variety of roles in narcotics, community policing and training.

Impressions of Eudora Edwards said he was originally interested in the position because it brought him closer to his hometown and family.

And so far, he has been impressed by the red carpet Eudora residents have rolled out for him.

Edwards has appreciated “the willingness of the people in the area to reach out and help,” he said of his early interactions in his new home. “It’s one of those things they really mean.”

He has been making his way around the city, visiting restaurants during the work week and attending youth sporting events on weekends.

Vision for the force Edwards doesn’t envision any major changes to the 16-officer force in Eudora.

— Reporter Ian Cummings can be reached at 832-7144.

“I really don’t see anything that’s broken,” said Edwards, who emphasized the leadership of several department sergeants.

But he hopes to maintain the departmentwide attitude of knowing the community. In his short time in town, he has been encouraged when residents come in and ask for officers by name.

“If I see (an officer) sitting on a porch drinking a glass of tea or lemonade (with a resident), it’s great,” he said.

Personal life Edwards and his wife, Cheryl, enjoy catching up with family, based mostly in Springfield, Mo., on the weekend. Edwards has three grown daughters and two grandchildren.

An avid sports fan, Edwards previously coached women’s basketball and men’s golf at Piper High School.

Though a season ticket holder of Kansas State football, Edwards, a graduate of Mid-America Nazarene University in Olathe, remained diplomatic about his sports allegiances, saying he’s a fan of all Kansas teams.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

With oath, Obama opens second term WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama was sworn in for four more years Sunday in a simple ceremony at the White House, embarking on a second-term quest to restore a still-shaky economy and combat terrorists overseas while swearing an age-old oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution.

“I did it,” a smiling president said to his daughter Sasha seconds after following Chief Justice John

Roberts in reciting the oath of office. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s other daughter, Malia, were among relatives who bore witness.

The quiet moments were prelude to today’s public inaugural events, when Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before a crowd expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands and a television audience counted in the millions.

A crowd of perhaps 800,000 was forecast, less than the million-plus that thronged to the nation’s capital four years ago to witness the inauguration of the first black president in American history.

The weather forecast was encouraging, to a point.

High temperatures were predicted for the lower 40s during the day, with scattered snow showers during the evening, when two inaugural balls close out the official proceedings.

Lawrence man part of honor guard

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

During the last U.S. Presidential Inaugural Parade, Philip Sierra was a student at Free State High School and the last person he thought who would join the military.

At today’s parade, he will be part of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Honor Guard, within feet of President Barack Obama.

Sierra will be one of 81 men and women marching in a nine-by-nine formation of active duty Navy members. He will be in the middle row of the group, three rows from the front.

The group has been preparing since Thanksgiving for the parade, which begins at 1:30 p.m.

CST today. The training

has included two to three hours of daily marching for the last two weeks.

According to SiSierra erra, getting that big of a group of people to perfectly turn a corner is far from a walk in the park.

“It’s been taking a lot of work and yelling to get that figured out.”

When Sierra isn’t marching, he’s making sure his uniform looks impeccable, polishing his brass and ironing creases for hours at a time.

Sierra, who briefly attended Kansas State University before working as a custom harvester, is getting used to such prepara-

tions. He has been part of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Honor Guard for about eight months after being recruited out of base camp.

“I must have impressed somebody, I don’t know,” he said. “Before I joined I said, ‘man that would be cool; I’d like to do that.’

Next thing I know I was out of boot camp and headed to Washington, D.C.” His normal mission is to be a part of the honor guard for Navy funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. Today’s parade will be on a much larger stage, but Sierra said he’s ready.

“My uniform’s looking pretty good right now, and I just got a haircut,” he said, laughing.

Sierra’s parents, Michael and Lois, live in Lawrence.

KU trumpeters get last-minute call

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

Bands often spend months raising money and practicing for a trip to Washington, D.C., to perform for the president.

The Kansas University Trumpet Ensemble had 10 days.

For the last week and a half, 16 KU students and two faculty members with the group have rushed to get ready to perform in today’s U.S. presidential inaugural parade.

Stephen Leisring, the trumpet ensemble director, said at least one band represents each state in

the parade. The group chosen to represent Kansas dropped out 11 days ago, and Leisring jumped at the opportunity.

Within a few days, 16 members of the ensemble had committed to travel to the nation’s capital.

Leisring and KU Bands Assistant Director Sharon Toulouse began to arrange a version of the state song, “Home On the Range,” for trumpets. Ensemble members then got to work.

“We had a three-hour rehearsal Thursday night and two more hours on Friday and a fairly lengthy rehearsal this morning,” said Ethan

Bestiary CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

instead of using the generic “grasshopper,” they identified one out of dozens of Kansas species: the two-striped slant-faced grasshopper, which chews on grass and isn’t a pest to farmers.

That one came per a suggestion by a scientist at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in the Flint Hills, Valerie Wright.

“We thought we might just deal with grasshoppers as a group,” Hitt said, “and that was blasphemous to Valerie.”

Once they’d settled on their 15, they did as much as they could to get to know them. They consulted with scientists at the Konza station, Kansas University and elsewhere.

And they saw them in person, wherever they could.

“We made a concerted effort to get out there and know these guys,” Vail said.

Grossman, who painted the watercolor illustrations, especially tried to get as close a look as possible.

She wasn’t sure how she could do that with one of the animals, the cougar. But she found out the Topeka Zoo had two of them. She visited on a February day as snow fell, with no one else around, and watched as they came within a whisker’s length of the glass separating her from them.

“It was just very powerful to be able to photograph and experience those creatures,” Grossman said, “and I never really thought I would.”

A greater prairie chicken appears on the cover of “A Kansas Bestiary.”

Bartley, a Kansas City, Mo., junior, on Sunday.

The group left Friday for a 22-hour bus ride to Washington. Leisring said private donors and the chancellor’s office helped foot the bill.

The Kansas Athletics department chipped in KU jackets for the occasion.

KU banners will also hang from the trumpets.

At 7:30 a.m. today, the group will go through security and get into position for the afternoon parade. The band members have already been cleared by the Secret Service.

The group will be at the end of the first division of the parade.

Trust. Lawrence’s Allen Press printed it this past week using recycled paper and soy-based ink.

Numerous knowledgeable people chipped in, including the late Kansas Wildlife Author Laureate Joe Collins.

Proceeds from the book, which costs $15.95, will benefit the Kansas Land Trust, which aims to conserve significant lands in the state. Vail and Grossman are both members.

“The work that they do is so intricately connected with what our passion is,” said Ginny Moore, the Land Trust’s executive director.

Copies are available at The Merc, 901 Iowa St., and the Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St., in Lawrence, and people can request copies by mail by emailing kansasbestiary@ gmail.com. It’s available now only in a paperback edition, but a hardcover will be available in the spring.

The authors said they hope readers will sense the connection among Kansas’ animals, its landscapes, its past and its people. Key into that, they say, and a whole world may open up.

BRIEFLY Police to patrol for seat belt violations Lawrence police will patrol for seat belt law violations Tuesday night, according to Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.

Kansas law mandates a minimum of a $60 ticket for drivers and passengers ages 14 to 17 who are cited for not wearing a seat belt. The ticket is $10 for those 18 and older.

Police can stop a car for the sole reason of a seat belt violation in the front seats of the vehicle, according to state law.

If the backseat passengers are the only ones in violation, police can only cite them if they have also been cited for another violation.

Sixty-three percent of fatality accident victims in 2012 were not wearing seat belts, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. On average, 88 percent of Kansas motorists did wear them.

The effort to conduct special nighttime seat belt enforcement is part of the Nighttime Seat belt Enforcement Program, paid for through a grant funded by KDOT.

Program to help children cope with grief

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Dealing with the loss of a close friend or relative can be difficult for anybody. But experts say children can have a particularly hard time because they lack the skills to cope with grief, and the adults around them often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to respond to the different ways children grieve.

To help with that, three local groups are coming together to offer a program called Keepsake Place, a guided peer-support group for children and teens in Douglas County and surrounding areas who are grieving the recent death of a family member or close friend due to illness, accident or suicide. Among other things, Keepsake Place uses arts and crafts to help children work through their grief.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

It just gives them a chance to meet other children who are going through the same thing, identify and normalize feelings of grief, and give them some coping tools to help them find their way through it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sarah Rooney, volunteer coordinator for Visiting Nurses Hospice The program is being sponsored by Visiting Nurses Hospice, Midland Hospice and Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.

The first event, Keepsake Day, will be 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Lawrence Arts Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just gives them a chance to meet other children who are going through the same thing, identify and normalize feelings of grief, and give them some coping tools to help them find their way through it,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Rooney, volunteer coordinator

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just going to sit around in a therapeutic circle and talk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more interactive, hands-on and playful.â&#x20AC;?

Rooney said the program is designed for school-age children, ages 8 to 18, who have been in bereavement approximately three months before the start of the program. They will be divided into age groups based on stage of development and needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are going to make some keepsake

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create a fake budget emergency by slashing taxes for your cronies and then cry poverty when it comes time to fund vital services.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lisa Ochs, president of the American Federation of Teachers-Kansas, during a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the Stateâ&#x20AC;? rally.

Brownback changes tune on EITC Last year, Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s package of proposed income tax cuts included getting rid of the state version of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is aimed at helping the working poor. His administration claimed there was widespread fraud in the EITC. Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Budget Director Steve Anderson had said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no way of making sure, for example, that a single mother is spending that on needs for her children.â&#x20AC;?

But social service advocates fought hard to keep the EITC in place.

This year, Brownback is pushing Please see BRIEFING, page 4A

The Wichita Eagle reports that former state Rep. Brenda Landwehr, a Republican from Wichita who was defeated in the November general election, is now working for the Department of Children and Families, formerly known as the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services.

During her 18 years in the Legislature, Landwehr was a frequent critic of SRS. The Eagle reports Landwehr will make $26.45 an hour, or about $27,000 per year, working as a part-time senior policy analyst in the Wichita regional office of DCF, according to DCF spokeswoman Angela de Rocha.

DCF has also hired another Wichita Republican, Kenya Cox, who ran an unsuccessful campaign against state Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau, a Democrat.

Cox is the new assistant regional director for community relations, earning $50,000 per year. Neither Landwehrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nor Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job was advertised to the public because both are classified positions that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be, de Rocha said.

Award recipients make a difference through leadership

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will honor three community members for their service to Lawrence on Friday during its annual meeting. Sharon Spratt, CEO of community service organization Cottonwood Inc., will receive the Athena Award, and Web and Joan Golden will receive the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizen of the Years award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor,â&#x20AC;? Joan Golden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people in Lawrence whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

When good things happen because of the work you do, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping people to be more independent or helping to make the community a better place ... you realize maybe it does help to make a difference in othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sharon Spratt, CEO of Cottonwood Inc. and Athena Award recipient â&#x20AC;&#x153;When good things happen because of the work you do, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping people to be more independent or helping to make the community a better place ... you realize maybe it does help to make a difference in othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives,â&#x20AC;? Spratt said.

Along with her responsibilities at Cottonwood, Spratt has contributed to countless organizations in Kansas and across the nation.

Spratt said she enjoys being an active member of the community because it provides her with an opportunity to promote Cottonwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. She also serves as an executive committee and board member for InterHab; as a board member for the American Congress for Community Support and Employment Services; as Kansas State Rep. Paul Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designee for the Kansas Commission on Disability Concerns; and as a board member for the Douglas County Bank. She has previously served on numerous other boards and organizations in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to learn, and those (organizations) really help me to be a lifelong learner and expand my leadership abilities,â&#x20AC;? Spratt said.

Athena Award Spratt was nominated by community members and picked by previous award winners to receive the Athena Award, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;honors individuals who strive toward the highest levels of professional accomplishmentâ&#x20AC;? and make important contributions to the community, according to the Chamber of Commerce website.

Spratt grew up in western Kansas, attended Kansas State University and graduated with a degree in education with a minor in special education. After receiving her degree, she accepted a job offer in Florida, but instead of teaching children, she found herself working with adults. Although it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her original career path, Spratt enjoyed it and pursued similar opportunities.

She moved to Hays in 1980 and to Lawrence in 1988. She joined Cottonwood in 1989 and became the CEO in 1994.

Both grew up in Iola, but their ties to Lawrence run deep. The two knew each other distantly in high school but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t became a couple until attending Kansas University, where they both received their undergraduate degrees. They were married in 1967, and after living in Charlottesville, Va., and Washington, D.C., moved back to Lawrence in 1972, when Web Golden received an offer to teach at the KU School of Law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something I never had expected to have the opportunity to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. He taught classes full time until 1977 when he joined Stevens & Brand.

The Goldens have contributed to Lawrence through their involvement and commitment to the community. Joan Golden is on the Lawrence Public Library Board of Trustees and the Lawrence Arts Center

Board of Directors, and Web Golden is a board member of Cottonwood Inc. and the Douglas County Community Foundation. The two have previously served as board members for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Joan has served as a chairwoman and member of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees, United Way Douglas County, Kansas Memorial Unions Board of Directors and the Lied Center of Kansas Board of Directors.

Web Golden said his biggest contribution was moving to town almost 41 years ago, because of the work his wife does for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My greatest accomplishment for Lawrence was bringing Joan Golden here,â&#x20AC;? Web said.

Joan Golden was asked to join the Lawrence Memorial Hospital board in the late 1970s and since then has been involved in numerous Lawrence organizations, including acting as the chairwoman for the $1 million capital campaign for the renovation of the Lawrence Public Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the organizations Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in have a broad-based appeal,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through my leadership, hopefully I can make a difference through these organizations.â&#x20AC;?

Adam Handshy, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce director of events, said the Goldensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; honor is the highest the chamber can bestow upon a community member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Citizen of the Years award is given as a lifetime achievement award,â&#x20AC;? Handshy said. Joan Golden has previously won the Athena Award as well.

EDITORIALS

Tapping the turnpike Drawing the Kansas Turnpike into the Kansas Department of Transportation may be another case of trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

T

he Kansas Turnpike, born out of the old Kansas Highway Department, now is in its 50s but looking great!

That’s why it seems to make little sense to step backwards and combine Kansas Turnpike Authority operations with today’s Kansas Department of Transportation as a money-saving venture, as Gov. Sam Brownback is proposing.

Specifically, the governor’s budget document offers this explanation: “The governor recommends that the Department of Transportation assume authority over the daily operations of the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA). This change will not be a consolidation of the two agencies, as the KTA will remain a separate organization.

The governor does, however, anticipate in his budget a $15 million transfer from the State Highway Fund to the State General Fund in both FY 2014 and FY 2015 as a result of operational savings that will result from greater cooperation between the two agencies.”

Exactly where the $15 million in annual savings envisioned by the governor would come from isn’t clear. The governor’s office has mentioned merging administrative offices and service crews in its explanations.

However, the KTA’s financial report for the year ending Dec. 31, 2011, (the most recent report available) identifies $6.8 million in total administrative expenses. The other operating expenses are listed as being for insurance, toll collection, patrol, maintenance and a catchall category of improvements-repairsreplacements; all told these categories amount to $25 million.

Where would $15 million come from without chopping into funds that deal with the quality of the highway?

That seemed to be the basis for concerns raised by Senate Transportation Committee members, one of whom described the ‘pike as “the crown jewel” of Kansas highways and urged caution about changes.

Perhaps the governor, who’s also proposing to take money from KDOT to support schools, also has his eye on the KTA bank account. The KTA financial report pointed to $86.8 million in “unrestricted net assets” held by the authority.

The authority, incidentally, receives no federal or state tax funds; its operations are supported entirely by the tolls it collects.

And it reports that $9.2 million in motor fuel and sales taxes from its six service areas already go into the state coffers. That money does not get spent on the turnpike.

Also, the fact that it’s an interstate highway helps generate federal aid that goes to the state to help finance other state transportation projects.

The turnpike may be at least a golden duck, if not a goose, and it seems shortsighted, based on the facts that have so far been provided, to consider the sort of ill-defined and ill-explained switcheroo that’s on the table.

World watches as Syrians suffer Syria has become the world’s ugliest reality show.

Anyone with access to YouTube can watch grisly videos of Syrian government aircraft deliberately bombing civilians — in breadlines, mosques, universities, apartment buildings, and outdoor markets.

No crime is too heinous for Bashar al-Assad’s campaign to terrorize rebellious Syrians into obeisance. U.N. reports say 60,000 have already perished. Foreign Policy cites a secret State Department cable that says Assad probably used poison gas against civilians in Homs last month.

The scale of Assad’s war crimes is reminiscent of those in Sarajevo, Kosovo, and Darfur. The extent of urban destruction resembles that in Haiti after the earthquake. So why has the world kept watching without doing more to help those desperately in need?

The scope of the disaster is outlined in a new report by the International Rescue Committee, a U.S. aid group active in the Mideast: 600,000 Syrians have fled to overburdened neighboring countries such as Lebanon and Jordan. They need international help to cope, especially given that the number could rise.

Meantime, two million civilians are displaced inside Syria, trying to survive with little food, medicine, or shelter during a frigid winter.

Rapes of women and girls by armed men are common, and

The scale of Assad’s war crimes is reminiscent of those in Sarajevo, Kosovo, and Darfur. The extent of urban destruction resembles that in Haiti after the earthquake.” the government has systematically targeted hospitals and doctors.

Yet a U.N. appeal for $1.5 billion to aid uprooted Syrians has fallen far short.

One reason, of course, is the difficulty of delivering aid in wartime. A once-peaceful revolt against Assad descended into civil war after Syrian forces attacked nonviolent demonstrators. U.S. policy (which I question) still opposes any military aid to the rebels, who have battled Assad to a stalemate but can’t take Damascus.

So the war continues, with noncombatants trapped in the middle.

Yet there are many ways to help civilians in Syria, even as the fighting drags on.

For months, global aid to Syria was largely channeled through international agencies that dealt only with sovereign governments. That meant they worked with Damascus or the Syrian Red Crescent, which wouldn’t deliver aid to areas freed from government control.

More recently, however, several international aid agencies, along with Syrian American volunteers, have found ways to transport tents, medical supplies, and other humanitarian goods across the border. USAID (the U.S. Agency for International Development), which has allotted $210 million in humanitarian aid to the Syrian crisis, is getting supplies into the country, too.

Getting relief supplies into Syria can be very risky.

This week, one activist told me, Syrian refugees were cheered by wonderful, clear weather in the north of the country, but it also gave government jets an opportunity “to come and bomb.”

Still, courageous Syrian civilians are willing to risk all.

But their success will depend heavily on whether the United States is willing to expand its role.

In November, U.S. officials helped organize a new Syrian Opposition Coalition, known as the SOC, with broader representation from inside Syria than previous such groups. President Obama recognized it as Syrians’ “legitimate representative.”

The immediate hope was that the SOC could serve as the focal point for coordinating aid to liberated areas of Syria and, with its contacts inside the country, identify needs. But to have credibility inside Syria, the SOC must be able to deliver benefits, which requires resources.

The Arab emirate of Qatar had promised to hand over hundreds of millions of dollars in Qatari banks from accounts belonging to Assad, opposition sources say. That hasn’t happened. Nor have the Saudis delivered on their pledges.

Meantime, private Gulf donors continue to channel funds to Islamist groups in Syria, who distribute charity to desperate civilians and become heroes.

Without resources, the SOC will quickly come to be dismissed as ineffective, like its predecessor, the Syrian National Council. It will not be able to establish itself in liberated areas of Syria or bolster nascent networks of civilian councils. A crucial chance to set up an effective channel to relieve Syrian suffering — and to facilitate a transitional government that might negotiate peace — will be lost.

That would be yet another tragedy heaped on Syrians already tormented by Assad’s war crimes — in full view of the world.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 21, 1913: “The quesYEARS tion of water serAGO vice appears to be IN 1913 up to the Citizens of Lawrence to approve or reject the negotiations being undertaken for the purchase of the Water Works Plant and Equipment. The Mayor’s position in putting the matter up to the Citizens is a good one. … Our consulting engineers have suggested and advised some repairs and extensions to the present plant. Some of them seem reasonable, others such as improvements at the Pumping Station, the Distribution System and the life of cast iron pipes lack practical information on the subject.”

Secretary defends programs for needy

By Phyllis Gilmore Secretary, Kansas Department for Children and Families

The Lawrence JournalWorld’s Jan. 10 editorial characterizes state policies for the administration of the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program as a “cause for concern.” As the secretary of the Kansas Department for Children and Families, I want to assure your readers that is just not the case.

The policy changes that DCF has implemented have primarily been to encourage, and, yes, require those who receive taxpayer-funded benefits to seek employment, participate in employment training or become employed.

Cash assistance, the federal program now called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families is a time-limited program meant to be a bridge from poverty to employment.

TANF was created by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, the “welfare to work” legislation that was

YOUR TURN the most significant reform of America’s welfare system in history. At the core of the 1996 reform act was a work requirement for all ablebodied recipients.

For the first time, welfare was to be managed like a Gilmore work program, in which individuals were mandated to work or participate in work activities to be eligible for benefits, and because of this historic change to the way welfare had been administered, “welfare to work” was an unmitigated success.

On a national level, the mandated work requirement led to huge reductions in the welfare rolls, historic levels of employment, and child poverty was reduced to an all-time low. Low-income Americans gained freedom from depen-

dency, which had plagued families for multiple generations. Through work, these individuals were given a path to self-sufficiency and ultimately an opportunity to succeed.

Full-time employment is the key to reducing poverty.

This is exactly why every significant policy change we have implemented at DCF has focused on employment. When Gov. Brownback took office in January 2011, the TANF work programs were failing and individuals were languishing on the welfare rolls instead of receiving the help they needed to gain employment.

Kansas performed so poorly compared to other states in policy reforms following the passage of the 1996 welfare reform act that we received a grade of “F” from the Heartland Institute, a public policy think tank based in Chicago, in its state-by-state analysis.

Most other states, through employment-focused TANF policies, had reduced their welfare rolls on average by 64 percent since 1996. Kansas’ rolls had been reduced by only 40 percent, 47th in the nation.

LAWRENCE

JOURNAL-WORLD

Our state’s welfare system needed to follow through with the policies intended by the 1996 “welfare to work” reform legislation. So, in October 2011, DCF implemented policies that emphasize work. And we are now seeing the success of those policies. The TANF caseloads are dropping, and we are getting individuals off of the welfare rolls and into employment.

Since July 2011, TANF caseloads in Kansas have dropped by an extraordinary 33 percent. We have accomplished this incredible feat through sound policy changes which encourage and emphasize work.

The work requirement in our welfare system is a proven method for increasing employment and decreasing childhood poverty. Our agency is committed to helping individuals to bridge the gap between poverty and full-time employment. By providing needed support and assisting our TANF clients to become employed we offer them the opportunity to lift their families out of poverty, and in doing so we give them an opportunity for a brighter future.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Family man

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Small comes up big for KU It’s not who starts a basketball game that matters most, Kansas coach Bill Self is fond of saying, it’s who finishes it.

In Saturday’s come-frombehind, 64-59 victory against Texas in Austin, Texas, the Jayhawks who finished it did so in style.

After Kevin Young was guilty of a passive defensive challenge on a bucket and then tossed away a wild pass, Self had seen enough.

With 6:08 left and trailing by four points, KU’s 10thyear coach signaled Naadir Tharpe off the bench and told him to replace Young.

The move made Kansas nine inches shorter and 10 times better for the stretch run.

Sheldon McClellan drove for a bucket to pump the Longhorns’ lead to six points with 5:36 left. From that point, Jeff Withey and guards Tharpe, Elijah Johnson, Ben McLemore and Travis Releford teamed to play extraordinary defense, and the careless passing ceased. Kansas won the rest of the game, 17-6.

“We usually do it in lategame situations whenever we’re ahead to get our best free-throw shooters and ballhandlers in the game,” Self said of the lineup.

“Nothing else was working.

It was a muddy track all day.

There was no rhythm, so I thought we might as well try it.”

It worked so well look for Self to try it earlier and more often, especially Tuesday night against Kansas State, which starts four guards.

UT’s small lineup at the time of the switch and Releford’s defensive versatility enabled Self to make the move without reservations.

Self has been known to switch Releford onto the opposing point guard if Johnson and Tharpe can’t keep him from penetrating. When Kansas goes small, Releford guards the power forward.

That makes the fifth-year senior from Bishop Miege High one valuable piece to the team likely to be ranked second in the nation when the Associated Press releases its college basketball poll today.

“They had (Ioannis Papapetrou) at the four, so it was a lineup that we actually could try it against and put Travis on him, and Travis was able to hold his own on him, when we did that,” Self said.

The coach didn’t substitute again until seven seconds remained. It made it tougher for Texas to handle the ball, as evidenced by three late turnovers, and to shoot (2-for-6). Meanwhile, Kansas made five of eight shots and didn’t turn it over in the final 5:55.

The strong finish can’t all be attributed to the lineup.

Kansas consistently plays like the veteran team it is down the stretch, even on days such as Saturday when it lacks poise and pizazz earlier in the game. A young Texas team consistently self-destructs late.

But the success of the lineup for such a long stretch

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR TRAVIS RELEFORD, LEFT, POSES for a family portrait with 2-year-old son T.J. and girlfriend Jennifer Covell. Travis grew up without his father — in jail for second-degree murder — and vowed Travis Junior won’t suffer the same fate.

KU’s Releford relishes fatherhood

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Travis Releford hustled out of Allen Fieldhouse on the evening of Jan. 2, 2011, after collecting five assists and three rebounds while failing to score in a 27-point rout of Miami of Ohio.

Then a Kansas University sophomore, his mission was to drive — make that speed — from Lawrence to Overland Park Regional Medical Center in time to join his girlfriend, Jennifer Covell, for the birth of their baby boy.

“He was delivered right after I got to Kansas City,” Travis said of T.J. (Traeford. “II was happy. I was vis, Jr.) Releford. shocked. I really can’t express how w I felt. I was so happy I made it there in time.

It was, ‘Wow, I have a son. It’s a little me.’”

Travis ve might have he missed the arrival of T.J. if not for his irlcaring girlfriend. dn’t “I didn’t want him to me,” miss the game,” Covell said, “(but) I was starting to get nervous he might t. My not make it. mom kept trying to get hold of ’t start him. I didn’t ntil he pushing until

was close, until he was about 10 minutes away. Travis got there at 9:30 (p.m.). T.J. was born at 9:47 (p.m.).”

Travis made a solemn vow as he wiped away tears of joy at the hospital.

“I said I’d make a change in how fathers have been in the history of my family. I made that promise I’d be there for T.J. every day. Since Day One, I have been,” Travis said in an interview with the Journal-World conducted two weeks after T.J.’s second birthday.

Releford holds no ill will against his own dad.

In fact, he speaks with Tracy Releford almost every day — by phone. Tracy has spent the last 20

years in Crossroads Correction Center in Cameron, Mo., where he is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder.

“He’s seen me play. He gets to watch me on TV, but he’s never physically been there,” the 22-year-old Releford said of Tracy, who recently had his annual parole hearing and still has hope he’ll be released in time to see Travis play a game in Allen Fieldhouse and see Travis’ brother, Trevor, play a game at the University of Alabama, where he’s a junior point guard.

“I have a son I would hope one day would grow up and play basketball, too, and I want to coach him and help him out along the way. It means a lot to have a son, especially from how I grew up not having m dad around,” Tramy v added. “My mom vis h the same problem. had S She didn’t have her d dad there.

KU football misses out on recruits

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It was a rough weekend for Kansas University’s football program, which lost an assistant coach to TCU and then watched a couple of its top remaining recruiting targets commit elsewhere.

Please see KEEGAN, page 3B Just days after learning

that linebackers coach DeMontie Cross was leaving to take the same job with the Horned Frogs, a pair of highly sought offensive linemen said no to the Jayhawks and yes to other BCS-conference programs.

Honolulu offensive lineman Reeve Koehler, a fourstar guard from St. Louis

High who was at or near the top of KU’s remaining wish list in the Class of 2013, committed to Arkansas over the weekend.

Koehler, who took an official visit to Arkansas this weekend, said last week that he would weigh his options after returning home from the visit. Arkansas and Kan-

sas were his finalists, but evidently Koehler saw enough from new Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema and the rest of the program on his visit to commit orally while on the trip.

Koehler, 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, told Danny West of Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After twice failing to win her breakthrough major as the No. 1-ranked woman at the Australian Open, Caroline Wozniacki is now expected to drop out of the top 10 after a fourth-round loss to a resurgent Svetlana Kuznetsova today.

Wozniacki had the top ranking for the 2011 and 2012 editions of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first major, but lost in semifinals two years ago and the quarterfinals last year. Her 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 defeat to two-time Grand Slam winner Kuznetsova in the Round of 16 this time follows back-to-back firstround exits at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Kuznetsova is moving in the other direction, after entering the tournament at No. 75. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a comeback from a right knee injury that ruled her out of the last U.S. Open, ending a run of contesting 40 consecutive majors.

The 27-year-old Russian moved into a quarterfinal and will next face No. 1-ranked Victoria Azarenka, who beat Elena Vesnina, 6-1, 6-1.

Play on Day 7 ran into Day 8 overnight in Melbourne, when Novak Djokovic needed just over 5 hours to beat Stanislas Wawrinka 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 12-10 in a fourth-round match Sunday night, on the same court where he needed 5:53 to beat Rafael Nadal in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had flashback of 2012,â&#x20AC;? said Djokovic, who ripped off his shirt to celebrate again, like he did last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was maybe 45 minutes less this match than the one 12 months ago, but still it was still as exciting. I tried to enjoy the moment and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more. What a match point ... unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

The win was Djokovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th in a row at Melbourne Park after winning the last two Australian titles, and earned him a place in the quarterfinals of a 15th consecutive major.

Djokovic will next play No. 5 Tomas Berdych, who beat South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (13).

Roger Federer played Milos Raonic and U.S. Open champion Andy Murray faced Gilles Simon in matches that were decided early this morning in the United States.

Serena Williams, aiming for a third consecutive major title, also played her fourth-round match, against No. 14 Maria Kirilenko of Russia.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC PULLS OFF HIS BEST HULK IMITATION after a five-hour win over Stanislas Wawrinka on Sunday at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia. first on-camera interview given by the All-American since news broke about the dead girlfriend hoax.

Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o and his parents will appear on Couricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndicated talk show Thursday. ABC News announced the interview Sunday, but gave no details as to when it will take place and where.

Oregon promotes OC Helfrich Mark Helfrich is Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next man in.

As usual, the Ducks wasted little time finding a replacement for Chip Kelly, promoting their affable offensive coordinator to head coach Sunday. Kelly left to become coach of the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday.

Helfrich is the third straight offensive coordinator at Oregon to be promoted to the top job, following Kelly and his predecessor, Mike Bellotti.

The 39-year-old Oregon native signed a five-year deal with the Ducks for a reported $9 million.

NBA

Suns pick Hunter as coach PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Phoenix Suns picked player development director Lindsey Hunter as interim coach, two days after the team parted ways with Alvin Gentry.

Hunter, who played for 17 seasons and won two championships in the NBA, joined the Suns in the scouting department last year and this season took over the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new player development department.

Gentry, a former Kansas University assistant coach under Larry Brown, was Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach since Terry Porter was fired at the 2009 AllStar break.

Sources: Kings to Seattle Two people familiar with the decision says the Maloof family has agreed to sell the Sacramento Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press on Sunday night because the deal is still pending approval from the NBA Board of Governors.

SUPER BOWL LOOKAHEAD

Releford CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

wanted to make sure I could change that. I’m there every day for my son. I see him every day, and I’m here to watch him grow and teach him.”

Proud papa Releford, a 6-foot-6 senior out of Roeland Park’s Bishop Miege High, lives in Jayhawker Towers with roommate/teammate Christian Garrett. However, Travis spends most of his free time with his girlfriend and son at their apartment, conveniently located in Lawrence.

Travis understandably is proud of his son.

“He just went to the doctor’s (office). He was 99 or 98 percentile in height and 92 or something in weight.

The chances of him being tall are very good,” Travis said, noting Jennifer, a KU senior, is 5-foot-10, Jennifer’s dad 6-5, Travis’ mom 5-7 and Travis’ dad, 5-9.

“He likes sports. He’s throwing balls, kicking balls, hitting them with whatever he can find. He’s all over the place,” Travis added.

Though Travis can’t remember his son’s first words — “I think it was ‘dada,” he said — T.J.’s vocabulary is definitely growing.

“He sees me in pictures.

He’ll go point to them and say, ‘Da-da,’ or he’ll see the Jayhawk bird and be like, ‘Jayhawk, Jayhawk,’” Releford said. “I think he knows the Rock Chalk Chant. We’ve been teaching him that since he was a few months old. He was just listening. Then all of a sudden he started mumbling and getting clearer. I think his favorite part is the end when they say, ‘Whoo.’

He looks forward to that.”

T.J. attends KU’s home games and sits in a section with family members of the Jayhawk players located on the lower level, southwest bleachers.

Jennifer and T.J. usually sit in the same row as Travis’ mom, Venita, who lives in Lawrence and works at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, plus Travis’ two sisters (Tamara and Katelin) and brother June, who is a sophomore on Free State High’s hoops team.

“He’s waved, pointed, actually tried to get down on the court,” Travis said of T.J. Proud of papa T.J. has become quite a fan of his daddy, who is a fifth-year senior starter who averages 12.9 points and 3.4

“Every time we go to a game and they go to the free-throw line, he says, ‘Whoosh,’” Covell said.

“He does the cheers and chants. Every time we drive by the fieldhouse, he knows it’s the fieldhouse and says, ‘Jayhawk.’”

Jennifer says that T.J. is a “brilliant” child who looks like he’s 4, not 2. ‘“Eat’ is one of his favorite words because that’s all he does. He likes noodles, junk food, juice, candy. He eats almost all the junk I eat. His favorite food is probably waffles or mac and cheese,” Releford said.

Travis actually is a softie in supplying T.J. what he wants/needs, says Releford’s Towers roommate.

“It’s cool to watch ‘Trav’ spend time, hang out with T.J. when he’s not playing,” Garrett said. “T.J. is always around, making a mess, having fun. Travis is a great dad. He really wants to be a great father to T.J. and is doing a good job being there, showing love. I think when the season is over, he’s going to experience a whole new level what it’s like to be a dad. He’s growing up fast in it. He’s doing well.”

Garrett said the funniest thing, “is a lot of times I’m not there, and T.J. sleeps in my bed. So the little guy is in my room. We joke that T.J. is taking my spot as his roommate.

“Sometimes I feel like an uncle. I think everybody on the team feels like an uncle to the cutest kid I’ve ever seen. He’s so cute and cool. Everyone says, ‘That’s our little nephew,’” Garrett added.

‘A special thing to see’ One of Releford’s mentors — his AAU coach L.J. Goolsby of KC Run GMC — says he simply loves watching Travis and T.J. together.

“It’s a special thing to

Keegan

see,” Goolsby said. “Travis loves T.J. and wants to be a role model for him, especially as he (T.J.) gets older. Unfortunately, (Travis) didn’t have that father in his life. He doesn’t want that to be the case with T.J. It’s awesome to see how he treats him, acts around him, the way they act around each other.”

T.J. already has bonded with another child of a KU player — Amara Grace Tharpe, who lives in Worcester Mass., but visits her dad, KU sophomore Naadir Tharpe, from time to time.

“He calls her, ‘Baby.’

He knows she’s just a baby,” Releford said of the 1-year-old.

“He takes care of her.

He gives her her bottle, binkie,” Covell added.

Travis said his own son inspires him and has made him consider his own future.

The plan is to play in the NBA or overseas after this season, and after his playing days are finished to pursue coaching as a career.

“There are so many good things. I can’t point out anything bad about being a dad,” said Releford, who has teamed with his girlfriend — a former KC Winnetonka High basketball, tennis and soccer standout — to make sure their class schedules allow somebody to be with T.J. at all times.

As students not yet in the workforce, they can’t afford the cost of day care.

“Some people think, ‘Ah, he (Travis) is in school and has a kid, and that could be the worst thing.’ I don’t think it’s the worst thing that could ever happen, especially the great situation I’m in with his mom and the way I handled it,” Travis said.

“It hasn’t taken anything away from school or me performing on the court.

I feel this has made me want to work harder so once I leave here I know he and my family will be taken care of.”

SAN FRANCISCO HEAD COACH JIM HARBAUGH, LEFT, WILL FACE his brother, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.

Brother bowl looms The Associated Press

Preparing to coach the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game Sunday night, John Harbaugh watched on the stadium’s big video screen as Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their victory in the NFC championship game.

John looked into a nearby TV camera, smiled broadly and said: “Hey, Jim, congratulations.

You did it. You’re a great coach. Love you.”

Less than four hours later, the Ravens won, too.

As much chatter as there will be about the players involved — from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and his impending retirement to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s sudden emergence — the Harbaugh family angle will make this coaching matchup the most scrutinized in the nearly half-century of Super Sundays.

National signing day for the rest of the class is set for Feb. 6, which gives Weis and company a few more weeks to fill the remaining spots should they choose to do so. Weis has said consistently since taking over at KU that he would not sign guys simply to bring in bodies, so the possibility exists that the class is complete as is.

There are a few uncommitted targets still out there, but Koehler and Finnin certainly were at the top of KU’s wish list.

HawgSports.com that there were multiple things about the visit that he liked. One of the biggest factors was the team’s bond.

“The highlight of the visit probably was seeing how tight the players are,” Koehler told West. “I like that kind of brotherhood. I knew this was the place I wanted to be.”

Not long after learning of Koehler’s decision, the Jayhawks also lost out on another offensive lineman when College of DuPage tackle Matt Finnin, a three-star prospect who had listed KU among his

Team Harbaugh!”

During the 2011 regular season, the Harbaughs became the only brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game (the Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving Day that year).

Now they’ll be squaring off with a championship at stake in a Super Bowl.

On Sunday, San Francisco erased a 17-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 Sunday.

Baltimore then fashioned a comeback of its own by scoring the last 21 points to defeat the New England Patriots 28-13.

The 6-8, 330-pound juco standout told Mike Matya of HuskerOnline.com he was wowed by his visit with the Cornhuskers and did not see any reason to wait.

“I loved everything about it,” Finnin told Matya. “I don’t see myself playing anywhere else next year.”

KU coach Charlie Weis still has two spots remaining in the Class of 2013, which can include up to 27 players because two of the midyear transfers can be counted backward to last year’s class. Eleven of the 25 commitments in the class officially signed with KU in December. Many of them — mostly juniorcollege transfers — are in town already and will be-

Dear Annie: I have an 11-year-old daughter, and I feel she may know more about the “birds and bees” than she should because of what she sees on TV and hears on the radio.

It seems that every time I turn on the radio, we hear a song with the word “sex” in it multiple times. When we watch TV (even so-called family shows on family-oriented channels), we see people passionately kissing or using words like “penis” and “vagina.”

What do you think of sharing information about sex with preteens?

— Mom Dear Mom: By the time a child is 11, she should know plenty about the birds and the bees, presumably because her parents have explained things to her. And she should also know the correct terms for parts of the anatomy, including the private parts.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Parents often wait to discuss these things with their kids, not only because they are uncomfortable doing so, but also because they believe their children don’t need this information until they are older and educating them will somehow encourage them to have sex.

This is not true. It only means your child will get his or her sexual information from unreliable and misleading sources — friends, the Internet, songs on the radio and messages on TV. Teaching your child about sex,

‘Following’ a literary bloodbath

with your own moral values attached, will allow her to respond appropriately to situations when she encounters them — and she undoubtedly will.

When she hears something objectionable on TV or the radio, use it as an opportunity to explain your feelings on the subject. And you always have the option of changing the channel, setting parental controls or turning it off.

Dear Annie: In the three years that I’ve been with my boyfriend, I’ve become very close with his family. My boyfriend’s brother, “Scott,” has two children, ages 9 and 5. My concern is that they have no heat in their house. They say they periodically cannot afford the bill. Instead, they use space heaters in the bedrooms.

I get that the economy is tough, and I’m not saying I’ve never turned off my heat, but I don’t have

It’s clear that with his bad (or is it telltale?) heart and sullen personality, Hardy is a damaged person. It’s not giving too much away to reveal that prison bars cannot contain Carroll’s evil and that he has created an army of deluded disciples to carry out his vile wishes. Having already written one book about Carroll, Hardy is reluctantly drawn into the next chapter of his macabre story. Is he the author, or merely a character? That’s the whole point of following “The Following.”

Rob Lowe portrays a prosecutor who botches a case against a woman already convicted in the tabloid media in the 2013 truecrime drama “Prosecuting Casey Anthony” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

young children. Their mother somehow manages to get her hair done at the salon every month, but the kids can’t play in the family room because it’s freezing. Is this considered neglect? I don’t want to jump to conclusions. — Oregon Dear Oregon: You are kind to be concerned about these kids. Assuming those space heaters are working properly and there are no fire hazards, however, they do not seem to be in any danger of hypothermia. Are they dressed warmly? Can they bundle up in lots of blankets? Do they have other places to go that are heated — the grandparents’ house, school, libraries, etc.? Your boyfriend also can inform his brother that Oregon, like other states, offers assistance with heating bills for low-income families.

He can check online or call 2-1-1 for local resources. jacquelinebigar.com

You might decide to seek out some variety for excitement. Tonight: Where people are.

You are sure that you are right, yet this person feels he or she is right.

Tonight: To the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be stuck on a merry-go-round of Monday madness. Be smart and detach, if you want to make a successful break for it. Tonight: Don’t react.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A key associate demands your time and attention. Make it your pleasure, as the alternative would be far from pleasant. Tonight: Tame your ego.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are not a sign that hangs back. Today, you can try that role. Maintain a sense of humor.

Tonight: Sort through suggestions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Look at the big picture.

Don’t panic. Simply prioritize you itinerary and pace yourself. Tonight: Use your high energy well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are brimming with levity and mischievous insights, no matter how serious the moment gets. You can’t help yourself.

Tonight: Kick up your heels.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Emphasize your personal and domestic life. You know what you want, and you have an idea of what to expect. Tonight: At home, naturally.

If pressure washing alone will not remove the graffiti, a chemical remover may be the answer.

LINDA COTTIN

HOW TO TACKLE GRAFFITI REMOVAL

G

raffiti can be unsightly, offensive and annoying. Choosing the proper removal method will make the cleanup process a little less trying.

Step 1: If the graffiti is on a painted surface, start by cleaning the surface with a nonresidual cleaner, such as TSP. Once the area is clean and dry, paint over the graffiti with a stain-blocking primer and apply one or two coats of fresh paint to cover the problem area.

Step 2: If the graffiti is on glass, use a single-edge razor blade to scrape away the unwanted artwork.

Step 3: If the graffiti is on unpainted wood, try removing the offending paint by sanding the surface with 100 grit sandpaper. Reapply the original finish coat, as needed. If sanding does not work, using a chemical paint stripper is the next best option. Follow the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

instructions. Be sure to test the chemical on a small area before treating the entire surface.

Step 4: If the graffiti is on brick or concrete, use a pressure washer to remove all traces of the problem. Start with the wide tip spray nozzle and work up to a smaller orifice nozzle if necessary. Spray the surface at an angle to avoid embedding the offending matter further into the substrate. Begin spraying at the top of the art work, holding the spray nozzle about two feet from the surface. Use a side to side motion over a small portion and gradually work down to the bottom of the area.

Move the nozzle tip closer to the surface if additional pressure is needed. Be careful; too much pressure can damage the underlying surface.

Step 5: If pressure washing alone will

not remove the graffiti, a chemical remover may be the answer. There are several biodegradable options available. Choose one that best suits the specific application. Following the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions, applying a small amount of cleaner to a soft rag and trying to wipe the graffiti up and off the surface.

Step 6: If the graffiti does not wipe away, apply the cleaner directly to the surface to be treated. Allow the remover to work 10 to 15 minutes. Use a stiff bristle brush or cloth and a warm water mixture of TSP to scrub the paint up and away. Avoid pressing the graffiti further into the surface by using a lifting motion while scrubbing. Apply additional cleaner as needed. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

OKLAHOMA CITY IS MORE THAN OK

T

he holidays are over â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the twinkling Christmas lights and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve champagne bubbles are just memories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the January blahs have set in.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a weekend getaway to a destination loaded with enough culture and charm to get you out of the winter doldrums.

Less than five hours away from Lawrence by car, Oklahoma City fits the bill. When Bobby Troupe wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oklahoma City looks mighty prettyâ&#x20AC;? in the Route 66 song back in 1946, he had no idea just how beautiful OKC was going to get by 2013.

DAYTRIPPER Oklahoma City is magical. Its magic creeps up on you when you least expect it. You might first feel a sense of enchantment when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gazing at the iconic 55-foot glass tower by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly in the three-story atrium of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. (The Museum holds the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, most comprehensive Chihuly collection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fact that Chihulyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife hails from OKC just might have something to do with that.) After marveling at all the breathtaking glass confections, have a cocktail at the black granite bar in the Museum CafĂŠ.

The Paseo Arts District is a vibrant area thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home to 17 galleries and more than 60 artists. You can walk from studio to studio, drinking in the creative vibes. Interspersed with the galleries are fabulous restaurants, a coffee house, a clothing boutique, a gift shop, a yoga studio and a graphic arts studio.

Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten your â&#x20AC;&#x153;art fix,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to let your inner child run wild at the Science Museum Oklahoma, an affiliate of the Smithsonian. From traveling beyond the Milky Way in the Planetarium Theater to witnessing live explosions in Science Live, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never run out of things to see and do.

The Oklahoma City Zoo is the third-ranked familyfriendly zoo in the country, and admission is free on Mondays in January and February. Kids and adults alike enjoy taking a spin on the Endangered Species Carousel, which displays 42 exotic animals.

Discover the beauty of the Myriad Botanical Gardens, a lush retreat in the heart of the city. Unique to this oasis is a verdant paradise, the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory, a perfect place to visit on a cold day, with its 35-foot waterfall and 62-78 degrees temperature range in the winter.

clubs, lounges, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a ballpark and a multitude of restaurants covering just about every cuisine you could fancy. And, when you factor in its picturesque setting embracing a mile-long canal lined with beautifully landscaped gardens and public art, the effect is nothing short of magical. Water taxis only operate during the regular season (AprilOctober), but the local watering holes and eateries are bustling with warmth year-round.

Hoist a cold one in style at a great Oklahoma City venue like Bricktown Brewery (which offers awardwinning handcrafted beer, along with hickory-smoked barbecue) or Mickey Mantleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steakhouse, with its extensive wine list and live entertainment.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bibliophile, trust me when I say that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave OKC without paying a visit to Full Circle Books. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a retail establishment when you experience the ambience of 13foot oak bookcases with rolling ladders, real woodburning fireplaces and old theater seats. Truly, this is a book loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaven, and your heartbeat will quicken just walking through the front door.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do justice to all that OKC has to offer in just one day, so spend a night or two at the historic Skirvin Hilton. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be awed by the grandeur of this elegant hotel, built in 1911 by land developer and oil magnate Bill Skirvin, whose daughter Pearl Mesta became famous as Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostess with the mostess.â&#x20AC;? End your day on the right note at the Red Piano Lounge, located just off the opulent lobby, to view the red baby grand piano, listen to live jazz, and sip Red Piano Cosmos.

Curly HAIR CARE

Stylists encourage women to ‘embrace it,’ not straighten it

BY ARLEY HOSKIN

W

omen often view their stylists as pseudo-therapists, and stylist Ryan Crowell said curly haired clients are among his most guilt-ridden.

“I’ve always loved curly hair and I’ve always had a lot of curly hair clients,” said Crowell, owner and stylist at Salon Lucca, 3727 W. Sixth St. For several years, straight and sleek served as the coveted hair style for women throughout the country, leaving women with curly hair frustrated and apologetic over their natural texture, Crowell said.

But that isn’t the case now.

“I see more jealousy of the curly hair girls from straighthair girls,” Crowell said.

Crowell and his fellow stylists at Salon Lucca specialize in curly haircuts. Three stylists at the salon, including Crowell, are certified in the DevaCurl technique.

Crowell said he approaches curly hair differently than straight hair. When a curly-haired client comes in for a cut, he has the client come to the salon with her curls in their naturally styled state. He said he next evaluates the curl patterns and cuts the hair dry before he washes, conditions and styles the strands.

“Our cutting technique allows us to see the curl in its natural resting place,” Crowell said. “It’s more of a sculpting of the hair.”

Crowell said this technique enhances the natural beauty of his clients’ curls.

Coleen Nelson became Crowell’s client about two and half years ago.

Before coming to Crowell, Nelson had worn her hair straight, but years of fighting her curls had caused damage to her hair.

“The hairdresser I used to go to chemically relaxed and straightened my hair every time,” Nelson said.

Before Crowell could help Nelson embrace her curls, he had to cut off the damage that had been done by the chemical straightening treatments.

“I was really nervous,” Nelson said. “He cut off not that much the first time because he didn’t want to scare me.”

Nelson came back a few months later and Crowell cut off about six inches, which left her with a head full of healthy, curly locks, she said.

Crowell also taught Nelson how to care for her curls.

“We spend as much time on educating and conditioning as we do cutting,” Crowell said. “Mentally, with a cli-

RYAN CROWELL, RIGHT, STYLES THE HAIR of Coleen Nelson at Salon Lucca, 3727 W. Sixth St. Nelson says she used to chemically relax and straighten her her, but she now wears it curly to avoid damaging it. “It makes me feel a lot more of who I am because it was what I was born with and what I have every day,” Nelson says. ent, we want them to embrace their curls.”

Crowell recommends that clients focus on conditioning. He said most women do not need to shampoo every day but should rinse and condition their hair on days they don’t shampoo.

Several companies offer sulfate-free shampoos and conditioning cleansers geared toward women with curly hair.

Crowell said he recommends the DevaCurl line, which he sells at Salon Lucca.

Crowell also recommends that women with curly hair dry their hair with a microfiber towel or T-shirt rather than a regular towel to retain moisture.

Crowell said he also shows clients how to style their curls with gel, mousse or whichever products work best in their hair.

“Different hair has different needs,” Crowell said.

Stylist Traci Westhoff, who works at Headrush, 1401 Massachusetts St., agrees.

“For people who have really thin, fine hair, I prefer a cream or mousse,” Westhoff said. “If people have thick hair, I prefer a gel.”

Not only does Westoff style curly hair, she has curly hair herself.

Westoff said she has seen an increase in the popularity of the naturally curly look.

“People are seeing the damage that the flat iron has done,” she said.

Even women who don’t have curly hair are able to work with the waves they have to create a beachy wave look.

“The beachy waves are really popular,” Westoff said.

Crowell said he finds clients are often pleasantly surprised when they realize how much wave, or even curl, their hair has when properly moisturized.

“It’s really cool to see a client who doesn’t really realize that she has wavy hair,” Crowell said.

The rise in popularity has been liberating for some curly-haired girls, Westoff said.

Nelson counts herself among those liberated from the bonds of straightening.

“It makes me feel a lot more of who I am because it was what I was born with and what I have every day,” Nelson said.

Websites such as Naturallycurly.com provide a forum for women with naturally curly hair to connect and embrace the curls they were born with.

Nelson offers advice to those who want to connect with their inner curl.

“Find someone to cut your hair who wants to keep it curly and wants you to wear it curly,” she said. “Be proud of it. Embrace it.”

As families stock up, pantry storage spaces expand

BY KAREN SULLIVAN, THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

A

pantry is a cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prop closet.

With planning, the meal maker can always have something special tucked away to dazzle the audience, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a large gathering or just a few sleepy-eyed youngsters. Cereals, spices, fine oils, sauces and sweet surprises can become part of the repertoire.

There are no rules today for the size or shape of that stash of food staples, snacks, linens and party platters. A pantry can be a row of baskets, a freestanding cabinet, built-in custom shelves or even a separate room.

The idea is to have a plan for keeping up with everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The evolution of pantry space in the home is part of the organization trend that continues to be popular,â&#x20AC;? said Jaclyn Pardini, a spokesperson for Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really want to control the chaos.â&#x20AC;?

If the goal is to control the chaos, then it makes sense that families are being more generous with kitchen storage space.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying in bulk at Costco and Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. When they come home, they need room for the goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very similar to closets in general, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen pantries are getting bigger,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny Snook Scott, chief design officer for California Closets, which devotes a tab on its website to pantries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing multiple cabinets or spaces that are almost like a walk-in closet.â&#x20AC;?

In some homes, owners want pantries with space for craft supplies and wrapping papers, said Keri Henley, a certified kitchen and bath designer and an owner of

Artisan Cabinetry in Charlotte. As a result, retailers are offering more options for storage or improving on existing products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working in all kinds of things to make it a multipurpose room,â&#x20AC;? Henley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of where life happens.â&#x20AC;?

Henley designed a custom, walk-in pantry in Davidson, N.C., recently. Knotty alder cabinet doors conceal the pantry and the 48-inch-wide refrigerator beside it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can imagine if you had a plain door there,â&#x20AC;? Henley said with a hint of distaste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it to look like a wall of cabinetry.â&#x20AC;?

While a pantry should improve the look of the kitchen, whether concealed behind doors or visible, it also should make it easy to locate and grab items out of storage. Baskets, carts, drawers and caddies are some options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Products that provide simplicity, function and improved organization are

the most in demand,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Bush, a spokesperson for Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Built-in storage and organization, easy access through rollout trays to prevent bending and reaching, anything that improves accessibility and ease of use â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all very important factors to consider.â&#x20AC;?

SieMatic USA is one of the companies pushing to make custom storage available to a bigger share of the market. The price for cabinets from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-end BeauxArts 02 collection starts at about $100,000 for a small kitchen.

The floor-to-ceiling cabinets in SieMaticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Floating Spaces collection are wellsuited to open floor plans because of the clean, contemporary design and ability to adapt to lots of floor plans. Just as much effort went into planning the space behind the cabinet doors. Prices in that collection start around $35,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a play between form and function,â&#x20AC;? said Hans Henkes, SieMatic USA president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The consumer is realizing that it is not just the exterior that can be beautiful.â&#x20AC;?

Freestanding hutches and shelves are a better choice for an apartment or a tiny kitchen. The furniture store Nadeau on South Boulevard has affordable pieces that can be used as pantries in styles such as French country, shabby-chic, farmhouse and traditional. The company sells a bright red mahogany cabinet for $284. That color is unexpected, which can make for compelling decor.

A well-stocked pantry can make the work of the most humble cook more sparkly. Suddenly the cook can have dried fruits, chilies, extracts and imported chocolates within easy reach. Holidays, potlucks and treats for movie night in your jammies might never be the same.

CREATE A PLACE

!Keep your work area small.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to improvise.

Vertical space and shelves are less expensive than drawers and baskets.

!If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a large space,

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve likely got space for wine storage, chafing dishes, platters, glasses and small appliances.

Stick to the basics in a small space. Dry goods and canned foods are among those.

!Keep your work area concise,

so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have far to walk from prep area to pantry. The stove, sink and food storage areas should be within a tight triangle.

!Store heavy items on lower

shelves. Use top shelves for paper products, linens and things less likely to harm you.

!Most shelves should be no

deeper than 10 inches. Smaller items get lost or forgotten when stored on deep shelves.

!Include a basket or drawer for

healthy snacks if you have children in the home. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know the foods stored there have your OK.

!Store cookie sheets and platters

vertically. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll waste time getting to them if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stacked.

Small changes add up to new look Treat yourself to a makeover, one small step at a time

BY SARA SHEPHERD

C

hristine Zimmer didn’t realize it until after her makeover, but her outside look wasn’t keeping up with her inner positive attitude and zest for life.

A team of Lawrence professionals took Zimmer, 50, a Eudora resident who runs His Hands Clothing Closet, from jeans, hoodie and, as she describes it, “shaggy dog” hair to color, a touch of sparkle and a chic-but-sensible coif.

“I felt like they captured the person I really am, and brought that forward,” she says. “It was really kind of life changing.”

Zimmer’s makeover came compliments of Ditto Resale Boutique, which donates extra clothes — such as the ones they don’t buy but sellers leave anyway — to Zimmer’s nonprofit thrift store. Staff recognized her as an overly busy woman who seemed to help everyone but herself.

In the months since her makeover, Zimmer admits, she doesn’t dress herself up every day. But she says, she has more confidence and know-how to pull it off when she needs to.

Maybe you don’t have a head-to-toe makeover scheduled anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try out a new, better look.

We talked to local fashion and beauty experts to get ideas for easy small changes that make a big impact.

EUDORA RESIDENT CHRISTINE ZIMMER, ABOVE, who runs His Hands Clothing Closet, got a makeover last year from Lawrence’s Ditto Resale Boutique. She said a haircut and color, makeup, new outfit and accessories helped match her outer look with the way she felt inside: full of life. ADDING A COLORFUL SWEATER or scarf is an easy way to brighten up a wintry neutral piece, like this gray dress, at right, at Ditto Resale Boutique. Color not only changes the look of your outfit, it can flatter your face as well.

TOP TIP Two letters: BB. One of the biggest and best new evolutions in the cosmetic world is “BB cream,” Biemick says. BB — short for beauty balm — is a moisturizer, primer and broadspectrum sunscreen in one. The one-stop balm isn’t just for special occasions, she says — it’s good for every day and every age.

Applied before makeup, beauty balm is designed to even out skin tone, plump and fill fine lines to improve skin texture and shield against sun damage. So the product not only improves the look of your complexion for the day, it helps moisturize and protect skin to help keep it healthy long-term.

A number of companies make similar products, including Biemick’s makeup line, which she sells at Amazing Skin and Makeup.

RUNNERS-UP

When it comes to makeup, consider cutting back a bit. As women mature, less is usually more, Biemick says. This doesn’t mean you don’t get to have fun with, say, a heavy eyeliner trend, but consider varying the thickness to keep your look age-appropriate.

Lastly, she says, “lipstick is always an easy move.”

Try a new color to quickly change your look, transition between seasons, or just to have a little fun.

TOP TIP If your hairstyle is stuck in a rut, try resolving to set aside a couple extra minutes to fix it a different way each day for, say, a week, Miller suggests. Try accessorizing with scarves or headbands, switching your ponytail from simple to sleek, or adding a little braid on the side â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all ways to change your look with no appointments, scissors or dye.

RUNNERS-UP

If you want a bigger change, â&#x20AC;&#x153;bangs will change your blah hairstyle into something cute and trendy,â&#x20AC;? Miller says. But, she cautions, bangs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everyone.

Work with your stylist to figure out a better solution if your hair type â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or cowlicks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compatible with that look you pulled out of the magazine.

Adding even a little volume is another surefire way to make a drab hairstyle look, well, like an actual style. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking a sky-high â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snooki pouf,â&#x20AC;? Miller says; more like using a round brush to volumize while smoothing frizz or gently teasing hair at its roots.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Color is always a great way to change up your look, and then the different shapes,â&#x20AC;? Brown says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now the cat-eye look is coming back â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that and the big, chunky frames.â&#x20AC;?

Rules like â&#x20AC;&#x153;round faces need square framesâ&#x20AC;? and so on have gone by the wayside. Anymore, Brown says, she encourages customers to try on lots of different pairs and pick glasses they feel confident in. A pair of chic designer glasses is usually more affordable than, say, a handbag by the same designer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to call them eye candy,â&#x20AC;?

Brown says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great accessory.â&#x20AC;?

dated or out-of-fashion glasses is another easy way to make a big difference in your look. In addition to contact lenses, many designers now make rimless glasses that are small and lightweight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not wearing any.

While theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not exactly au naturel, colored contact lenses are a dramatic one-step look-changer.

Brown recalls one dark-haired, dark-eyed patient who went bold with blue contacts and also a pair of Elizabeth Taylor-esque violet ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just completely changed her look,â&#x20AC;? Brown says.

TOP TIP

Maria Martin, employee, Ditto Resale Boutique, 4000 W. Sixth St.

Instead of taking the glasses off, try making a statement by putting on different â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking cuter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ones.

over and the weather is cold and dreary, color can be a great pick-meup for your mood and your look, Martin says.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to introduce, if not through a staple article of clothing, then through layers like a sweater or a scarf.

As an example, Martin points to a long-sleeved gray knit dress topped with a chunky pink cardigan. Neutral gray is a great background for almost any color, she says, and adding a pop of color can give it a whole new look or help transition a dark piece into spring.

For many people, color is more face-flattering than dark neutrals, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brightens you up,â&#x20AC;? Martin says.

RUNNERS-UP

Accessorizing with jewelry makes

it easy to sparkle. Dig into what you have and try out multiple necklaces at once or wrap a long necklace around your wrist as a bracelet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play with your jewelry,â&#x20AC;? Martin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every woman has jewelry at home she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worn in five years.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, think â&#x20AC;&#x153;transition.â&#x20AC;? Wear pieces you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tried together before. Toning down a sparkly holiday skirt with boots and a denim jacket, for example, helps you get more mileage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a fun look â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out of a piece that might just sit in the closet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do that,â&#x20AC;? Martin says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just created yourself a whole other outfit.â&#x20AC;?

TOP TIP Color â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of it. Especially now, when the holidays are

Have you ever had a fashion makeover? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never had a fashion makeover, though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to give fashion makeovers. I see a lot of bad fashion in Lawrence that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to correct.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence LAUNDRY ALI EDWARDS

}

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, this is my job,â&#x20AC;? I say with a smile, trying to remain fully present with this person while also maintaining a subtle survey of the street, trying to spot the next stylish person Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just so happen to â&#x20AC;&#x153;run into.â&#x20AC;?

CHUCK â&#x20AC;&#x153;COLONELâ&#x20AC;?

BENEDICT, a greeter at Hy-Vee, was so thrilled to be in Style Scout that he sent Ali flowers.

Secrets of a style scout â&#x20AC;&#x153;T

his is your job?â&#x20AC;? is the question Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most frequently asked when I interview someone for Style Scout, a Q&A column in the Journal-World that features Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most fashionably (or interestingly) dressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, this is my job,â&#x20AC;? I say with a smile, trying to remain fully present with this person while also maintaining a subtle survey of the street, trying to spot the next stylish person Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just so happen to â&#x20AC;&#x153;run into.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you do it?â&#x20AC;? is the next most frequently asked question.

I probably do it a lot like you would: 1. Buy a latte 2. Sit on a bench and people-watch 3. Get asked quite regularly if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been stood up while sitting on said bench, drinking said latte 4. Run (literally) after potential scoutees when I spot them Most of the time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see me zigzagging through crosswalks, creating the quickest route possible, guessing which

way the person is going to turn before he or she does. And then, after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sufficiently out of breath and sweaty, do I casually intersect the person Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scouting and ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am/sir â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have you ever been in Style Scout?â&#x20AC;?

And it never fails that their eyes search my entire face questioningly for about three seconds before saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nooooo?â&#x20AC;?

There are, in my estimation, three subsets of people I scout. There are Lawrencians Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen around town for years, Lawrencians Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m encountering for the very first time and out-of-towners that, for some reason, seem to catch my eye.

The first subset of people includes, most notably, Chuck â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colonelâ&#x20AC;? Benedict.

After too many trips to Hy-Vee without more than a â&#x20AC;&#x153;helloâ&#x20AC;? to Chuck, the greeter, I shamelessly used my Style Scouting façade as an excuse for a conversation. After his feature ran, he called me to tell me that he had received many compliments, and he sent flowers to my work. Gentlemen everywhere, please take note.

And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those Lawrencians whom I have the honor of encountering for the first time. People like David Brown, an attorney in town, who ambivalently answered my questions with charisma while at the same time, asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why me? Why me?â&#x20AC;?

The last subset of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the out-oftowners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; includes people like Rhonda Swade and Matthew Paige, two of my most favorite scoutees. Rhonda is the mother of Josh Swade, the director of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Place Like Homeâ&#x20AC;? documentary about James Naismithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original basketball rules.

Matthew Paige is a touring musician whose feathered cap I spotted from a block away.

Style Scout is a simple and fun piece, but for me, for a mere five minutes, I get to be entrenched in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyday life.

I get to ask personal questions that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem weird because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re behind the Style Scout veil. I get to see people when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mulling over an answer, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completely dumbfounded. I get to see them interact with their friends,

and when I say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell us a secret,â&#x20AC;? I get to see them shoot a nervous glance over to their significant other.

We exchange tidbits about each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives, and, for five minutes, I get a peek into the different parts of what makes this community tick. It almost makes being stood up worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ali Edwards can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Take depression in teens seriously Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: We used to hear a lot about depressed teenagers. Then there was the concern about too many kids being on antidepressants and that medication might even make things worse. What’s your current view of this? I can’t tell if my daughter is just moody like a normal kid or if there’s something more wrong. I don’t want to label her for no good reason.

Katie: Though treatments may change over time, depression in teenagers has always been and continues to be very real.

If you could spend a day as an invisible observer exploring my high school, you would encounter many teens passing the day in untreated misery, perhaps isolating themselves from peers or silently despairing behind a mask of contentment.

Scratched out in restroom stalls you’d find sad notes of self-hatred and suicide so common that the handwriting often becomes recognizable from one stall to the next.

The problem, as you noted, is recognizing the symptoms of depression beyond the normal emotional twists and turns of adolescence. It’s only human to have the occasional “off” day, and for teenagers, those days of sulkiness and irritability usually occur more than occasionally.

Some teens experience more intense emotional growing pains than their peers.

The moodiness you mentioned becomes concerning when it appears to permanently affix itself over a teen’s head, engulfing his or her true personality and happiness.

While situational depression may be a temporary stage in a teen’s life, it warrants the same close attention paid to chronic depression. If your daughter’s melancholy seems more like a steady Seattle downpour than a passing drizzle, it’s worth a trip to your primary care doctor to check up on

Double TAKE

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT her physical health and ask about local mental health professionals.

Talking regularly to a mental health professional is helpful with or without medication. Before making a decision about antidepressants, try a few therapy sessions.

Medication doesn’t need to be the first resort.

However, keep in mind that although the possible side effects sound frightening, antidepressants do often help teens work through depression. I know a few teenagers personally who are open about their prescriptions. If you were to pass these kids in the hallway or sit with them at lunch, you would never guess the inner challenges they had overcome.

Dr. Wes: We’re halfway through Katie’s tenure on Double Take, and every week she makes it harder for me to match her work.

Whether you like “labels” or not, a good diagnosis is crucial. The first thing to consider is whether the symptoms result from normal problems of daily life or are instead present no matter what’s going on.

If there’s a recent divorce, romantic

breakup, change in schools, problems in social relationships or academic failure, we presume a change in circumstances may bring relief. While these are common problems for teens, they aren’t easy and may in fact be quite traumatizing.

For many teens, depression is secondary to another mental health issue, typically ADHD or anxiety. For kids who have either, and especially for those with both, despair may follow closely behind.

The third flavor of depression can often be found by looking at family history. If parents or grandparents had chronic depression, diagnosed or not, their descendants may inherit those same genes.

It’s also important to note that while traditional adult symptoms are often present in teens, many express depression with irritability and even anger or aggression.

So, here’s the bottom line: Diagnosis from age zero to 20 isn’t easy, and depression is often misdiagnosed. While antidepressants quite literally save lives, they don’t help young people who don’t need them.

Assessing teens takes time and commitment, and, yes, a good therapist who can connect with your kid and figure out his or her nuances. If after a few sessions and some good dialogue, the therapist recommends a medication referral, don’t freak out. Well-used, I’ve seen meds help many kids in the short and long term.

Katie’s right. Depression remains a big issue, and a tough one. Thankfully, we’re moving past the point where depressed kids feel stigmatized and many candidly refer their friends when they see things getting out of hand. Don’t hesitate to send your daughter down that road to see what you find.
