Train crossing to get safety upgrade

‘He taught us so much in those 19 years of life’

Families remember how loved ones lived, not that they died by suicide

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a two-part series to raise awareness about suicide as part of Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 9-15. Tomorrow: Suicide prevention.

Ryan Lee Zwiener was creative and a hard worker — and he liked to make others laugh.

His parents, Lisa and Raymond, said they would be watching television, and Ryan would enter the room and just start dancing around.

“He liked having fun and being spontaneous — we really miss him,” Lisa said, dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

Ryan, a Kansas University student, died by suicide on Dec. 3, 2011, two weeks before his 20th birthday, after a battle with depression.

His parents and sister, Mandy, openly talk about the suicide in hopes of preventing other deaths, but they Please see FAMILIES, page 2A

Never hesitate to act if suicide seems a possibility for someone you know Suicide prevention Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence, says you can make a difference when someone shows signs of feeling suicidal.

Here’s how: ! Listen and show you care. ! Ask the question, “Are you

thinking about suicide?” ! For teens, find a trusted adult to help. ! For adults, find someone to be with the person and someone trained in suicide prevention to help. ! Eliminate access to firearms, large amounts of medications and other poten-

tial dangers. ! Never keep a secret about suicide. ! Know that suicide is never someone else’s fault.

Where to get help: ! Headquarters Counseling Center’s 24-hour service — 785-841-2345.

! National Suicide Prevention Life-Line — 800-2738255. ! Bert Nash’s 24-hour service — 785-843-9192. ! Lawrence Memorial Hospital emergency room — 785505-6100. ! Christian Psychological Services — 843-2429.

On a wintry afternoon, more than 1 1/2 years ago at a rural Douglas County railroad crossing, a train collided with a pickup truck, killing the driver of the truck.

Now the state, county and BNSF Railway Co. are close to reaching an agreement that will put signals and gates at the track crossing at East 950 Road northwest of Lawrence.

“I would hate for anyone else to go through what the last couple of years have been,” said The state, Tom Snycounty and der, the BNSF Railway father of Kyle SnyCo. are close der, a rural to reaching Lecompton man an agreewas ment that will who 22 at the put signals time of his and gates death.

Authorities said that icy and snowpacked conditions contributed to the crash, and the train’s engineer and conductor said the pickup was unable to stop at the crossing and slid in front of the train.

After their son’s death, Tom and Laury Snyder urged officials to make the crossing safer.

But the traffic count, which was estimated at fewer than 40 vehicles and five trains daily, did not trigger the ability to tap federal funds to pay for the lights and crossing gates, according to Mitch Sothers, coordinating engineer with the Kansas Department of Transportation.

So, the county applied for funding under a program where the Kansas Department of Transportation provides 80 percent of the Please see TRAIN, page 2A

funding for the improved crossing and BNSF provides 20 percent. The total cost should run about $250,000, Sothers said.

KDOT and BNSF have agreed to that, and now all the paperwork is getting approved. Once the agreement is executed, BNSF will have one year to install the flashing lights and gates, Sothers said.

“It will improve the safety,” Sothers said. “It will give people on their approaches, advanced warning of a train,” he said.

Joe Faust, a spokesman for BNSF, said he was not familiar with the particular crossing but said state and local officials make the call on the level of protection needed at a railroad crossing. BNSF

also don’t want Ryan to be remembered for how he died.

“He taught us so much in those 19 years of life,” Lisa said.

She recalled many stories about Ryan during a two-hour interview in her Lawrence home. He liked to make dandelion tea, and he enjoyed building things. Lisa said she had mentioned wanting something besides a carrier to put their three small dogs in when nobody was home, so one day Ryan surprised her with a unique two-story, indoor doghouse he had built.

“He truly was an amazing man,” she said, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Although it has been nine months, Ryan’s death is still very painful for the Zwieners, but they said it helps to talk and share memories.

“There are some people who try to avoid it or don’t want to say anything because they don’t want to upset you or whatever, and it’s almost more upsetting when they don’t bring it up because you do want so desperately for them to be remembered,” Lisa said.

Lawrence Police Capt. Bill Cory said the woman was crossing Ninth Street when she was hit by a white Ford Explorer pickup truck with Arizona license plates, driven by a 25-year-old man.

Cory said it was too early in the investigation to know if alcohol played a role in the incident. Additional information is not expected until Tuesday.

This was the second vehicle-pedestrian collision in Lawrence within a week.

“I would tell drivers that they need to slow down and pay attention to what they are doing,” Cory said.

“To pedestrians, I would say make sure you look where you’re going before you step into the street.”

are days when she can’t get out of bed and she’s overwhelmed by sadness. She’s also sad for her daughter, who has nightmares from finding her brother, with whom she lived at the time in a townhouse.

“Mandy said something the other day that kind of threw me off because she got mad at me and said, ‘I am tired of coming home and seeing you lying in bed and crying.’ She said, ‘I’ve lost my brother, and I don’t want to lose my mother too.’”

Susan Reynolds, of Topeka, said her daughter, Becky, died by suicide 10 years ago at age 23. As a teen, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had an eating disorder.

Later, she developed an addiction to drugs and alcohol and stopped taking her medications.

“The first two years were unbearably painful, but it’s better if friends try to reach out and involve you in anything because the tendency is to isolate,” she said.

Reynolds said she has continued to teach a 12week program for caregivers of individuals with severe mental illnesses through the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Topeka. It was something she started a couple of years before her daughter’s death.

“I think it was probably about as therapeutic as anything I could have done,” she said. “It felt good to educate people and hopefully prevent a tragedy for them.”

She also finds it healthy to talk about her daughter.

“Suicide wasn’t the only thing that happened in her life, and there’s a lot to talk about; yet, people are afraid to bring up her name, but, boy, that’s the best thing they can do. It’s sharing the good memories,” Reynolds said.

MANHATTAN (AP) — Experts with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are considering whether the lesser prairie chicken needs federal protection.

The Kansas State Research and Extension service says the agency has until Sept. 30 to decide whether to propose listing the bird as a threatened or endangered species.

The Manhattan Mercury reported that the bird’s range and numbers have been declining for years — everywhere except Kansas.

The western part of the state is now home to at least half of the world’s lesser prairie chicken population. Other birds live in nearby areas of Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas.

The area where the birds dwell is less than 8 percent of their historic range.

Alternative to ethanol studied GREENSBURG (AP) — Greensburg leaders are considering a proposal to build a plant that would convert red cedar trees into fuel.

Oklahoma City-based SR2O Holdings made its pitch to city officials last week. While the company is still looking into the availability of feedstock, city officials told The Hutchinson News that they consider the project more sustainable and less financially risky than an ethanol plant.

City officials said Greensburg could see revenue from the plant, although specific amounts haven’t been discussed.

“I am always very guardedly optimistic,” Mayor Bob Dixson said, noting that whatever de-

velops would be a publicprivate partnership.

Greensburg was flattened by a tornado in 2007, and Dixson said the hope was that job opportunities at the plant could enable some collegeeducated workers to return. He and City Council members are expected to discuss this prospect in coming months.

If the project proceeds, the construction phase would last about 19 months and require several hundred people. Once completed, the plant would employ about 80 workers and operate around the clock. Jobs would range from management staff and engineers to operators and material handlers.

Men taking service-based approach to practice

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

Some lawyers give the profession a bad rap. Then there are Carlos Hernandez and Zach Roberson.

Hernandez and Roberson graduated from Kansas University School of Law. It’s where they met and became friends. But unlike some with dreams of finding a powerful firm and making partner at 35, Hernandez and Roberson have a different plan.

They are opening a bilingual law firm in Olathe.

“It’s scary, but after all the research we have done, we feel comfortable,” Hernandez said.

“There is a need.”

“We decided people here needed legal assistance,” Roberson said.

“Some of these people are an invisible segment of the population because they are illegal, and they are afraid to really go anywhere.”

They both view the decision as service-based.

The two estimate there are fewer than 20 bilingual attorneys in Kansas City, and the number of Spanish speakers only continues to grow. Hernandez said this imbalance creates backups and makes life difficult for those not proficient in English.

“I would go to a restau-

rant and just talk to the waiters and servers, and I would be like, ‘So I am thinking of doing this, do you think there would be a need?’” Hernandez said. “I remember back in January there was this server who was like, ‘yeah, it took me two months to talk to an immigration lawyer.’”

They both want to fix this problem by opening a law firm in Olathe to help with immigration cases as well as simple acts such as getting businesses incorporated. They said Olathe is the best location with the highest likelihood of population growth.

Fantasy abounds in attractions at Renaissance Festival

By Caroline Boyer cboyer@theworldco.info

In a large tank off the Barbarian Forest, a mystical creature is making its first appearance at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.

As Davy Jones — also known as Jeremy Oyer when not on the grounds of Canterbury — explains, the mermaid called Laguna was caught in the North Atlantic about 18 months ago, and he is now traveling the world with her to show her to those who don’t believe mermaids exist.

“Now, she does like the gentlemen,” he warned as visitors passed her large tank Sunday. “She is looking for a suitable mate.”

When one spectator asked Oyer just how he was able to capture the

mermaid, he only replied, “a very large rope.”

The Renaissance Festival opened Saturday and will hold regular hours today, and the “Magical Mermaid” joined a royal pub crawl among the festival’s new offerings. A film about jousting also will be shot during the festival next month.

The festival will run 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends through Oct. 14, including Labor Day and

According to his mother, the lower half of Matt’s body went one way and his top half went another, making him a paraplegic.

“It could have been so much worse,” Valerie said. “The neurosurgeon told us that if he hadn’t

been in such good physical health that it probably would have killed him.”

Valerie, who is originally from Topeka and graduated from Seaman High School and Washburn University, said Matt was quickly transferred to Overland Park Regional Medical Center and surgery was done to fuse his spine back together.

“The doctors have said that if anything was going to go right it went right, other than the simple fact that he got hurt that was wrong,” she said.

During the five- to sixhour surgery, the waiting room filled with family, friends, teammates and coaches.

“

dez and Roberson are two very different people. Roberson, 26, who graduated from Texas Tech, came from a suburban Dallas family and grew up speaking English. Hernandez, 27, graduated from the University of Texas-El Paso.

He grew up in El Paso and lived in Mexico for 10 years before returning to the United States. His first language was Spanish. He has helped translate for his Spanish-speaking parents for most of his life.

“I still need to translate, but it is not as much as back in the day,” he said.

Hernandez said he saw firsthand the difficulties people who don’t speak English face. He also had an experience of how difficult the legal system could be. It happened after he was shot in 2004.

A stray bullet hit Hernandez in the right arm while he was watching horse races in Sunland Park, N.M. Hernandez said a man had been shooting at the racetrack all day and claimed track employees knew this fact.

Hernandez ended up in the hospital. He tried talking to police about what happened but got what he calls “the runaround.”

“It’s really complicated when you don’t have any connections to talk to someone,” he said. “When that happened, I thought, ‘you know what I think? I can make a change if I go into that.’”

So Hernandez determined he would go into law to help people deal with such situations.

Roberson said his decision to enter law and start the firm came from his need to help people.

“I got into law because I do want to help people, and I probably think this is the best way at this point in my life that I can do that.”

But before Roberson can help people, he has a bit of work to do. At the time he and Hernandez and a friend, David Smith, hatched their plan, about seven months ago, Roberson

“Right before surgery, we talked, and he wanted to understand why it happened to him. Of course, I couldn’t answer,” Valerie said. “I just told him that God wouldn’t have given it to him if he didn’t know that he could handle it. God would give him strength.”

Later that night, Matt was joking with his mom, asking if his situation would qualify as a medical redshirt year.

“Yeah, Matt, I think this will do it,” Valerie said.

“He knows now that he won’t play football again and has other things on his agenda now.”

Looking forward Matt was transferred July 24 from the Overland Park medical center to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo., where he has been learning how to do everything without the use of his legs. He is participating in occupational therapy, physical therapy and fitness classes.

“They are teaching him how to live with his disability, all of the things that you don’t even realize that you are doing,” Valerie said. “You don’t realize how hard it is to sit up.

The first thing they taught him was to sit up, and now he’s transferring himself.”

Instead of focusing on the negatives of being paralyzed, Matt continues to look forward.

“My injury has opened my eyes to what is still available to me,” he said.

“It also let me know how much I miss playing foot-

knew little or no Spanish.

“I have hit it really hard,” he said. “I feel like I am learning it.”

Making preparations Roberson has been doing a lot of studying lately.

He and Hernandez have to take the Kansas Bar Exam to get their law licenses.

On top of this studying is the constant preparation to get their business off the ground. The two say they spend much of their time meeting and networking with lawyers and law professors. These people give them tips, contacts and promise to send business their way. One lawyer gave a library of law books to the two. Another sold them a cheap desk. In this manner the duo are piecing together a practice. They have yet to select a site in Olathe but are following the tip they hear over and over from Kansas City professionals: “Keep your overhead low.”

They will also work to gain extra experience before they open their practice. Both are working as interns over the summer for a Catholic diocese for immigrants in El Paso. There, they planned to practice immigration law and put their bilingual skills to use.

“We were like, ‘hey, you don’t have to pay us; just teach us,’” Hernandez said.

Afterward they will return and try to start their firm.

Hernandez and Roberson said they have enough money saved to float business expenses for two years. They will also receive help from their parents and an inheritance that Roberson has received. The two hope that in two years their business will have taken off.

“It’s a service thing first,” Roberson said. “The money will come later.

We really just want to be problem-solvers within the community.”

new “Secret Garden” will include fairy houses submitted through a contest on the festival’s Facebook page. Peterson said more than 30 houses were submitted. The Fairy Forest, adjoining the Secret Garden, also will be a new feature this year.

ball and sports.”

Earlier this summer, Ottawa University Coach Kent Kessinger said the Braves were going to play for their injured teammate, even though he has never suited up against one of the team’s opponents. Matt played his high school football in Chanute and as a freshman and sophomore at Fort Scott Community College.

“The only game that he’s actually suited up for Ottawa was the spring game,” Valerie said. “Now, they are going to win the national championship.

I have no doubt about it, and that’s what he believes and that’s what he’s told them. They are playing this year for Matty. He was No. 6, and their team shirts say, ‘We got you, 6.’”

The plan right now is for Matt to be back on campus Sept. 15 for the conference opener against the University of St. Mary.

He has taking online classes for a sports management and exercise science degree until he gets back to school.

He has been talking to his teammates and coaches every day.

“I keep in touch with my teammates and make sure that they know that I am doing OK and that they know that I am working hard,” Matt said. “I also make sure that they are working hard as well.”

Community support Valerie said she has been surprised by the outpouring of support, from people posting messages on the Facebook page “Pray for Matty” to those sending cards and letters.

People also have organized fundraisers to pay for his treatment and

things insurance won’t cover. One of the fundraising items is a T-shirt with a stick figure holding another stick figure’s back and the caption “Don’t worry, Matt, I got your back.”

“It’s just been crazy — crazy good,” she said.

“All he ever wanted to do was to make a difference. He just wanted people to know how he was and how he touched people and hoped that he changed lives.

“I told him that this is probably not the way that you wanted to do it, but do you know how many people you’ve touched just by being you? Not because you passed for the winning touchdown or made the winning tackle, just because you are you.

Not that many people can touch that many lives just by being them. He’s just like, ‘I know mom, it’s crazy isn’t it?’ It’s been great in a weird way.”

Matt tweeted earlier this summer that his new goal was to be an Olympian, adding he has found a hand bike he enjoys using and is learning as much as he can about sports in which he can compete.

“My eyes are still open to everything,” Matt said.

“I’m trying to get exposed to all that I can.”

Valerie has no doubt that her son will continue to be an athlete. With his drive, she believes he will.

— State Sen. Jean Schodorf O’Donnell. “My parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents were all Republicans. But it’s changed. There’s no room for people who actually think in moderation.”

Schodorf has held the seat since 2001 and served 12 years on the Wichita school board. But O’Donnell had the backing of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and benefited from independent advertising by the anti-tax, small-government group

Americans for Prosperity.

Schodorf was called a “taxing queen” in one campaign mailer, while her 27-year-old challenger was portrayed in a mailing as “Mikey” the baby.

“I kept thinking, ‘We’re in the same party. Why are we crucifying ourselves?’ “ said Schodorf, who is looking into starting a blog aimed at moderate Kansans.

Human Combat Chess — the festival has featured this event previously, but it is making a return with a new show.

The White Knight will battle the King’s Pawn for the enjoyment of the King and Queen.

The festival also will have themed weekends, starting off with “Silk Road,” with belly dancing and martial arts activities.

The other weekend themes will be: Highland Games, Sept. 8-9; Pet Festival, Sept. 15-16; Shamrocks and Shenanigans,

Sept. 22-23; Wine, Chocolate and Romance, Sept 29-30; Pirate’s Ale Fest, Oct. 6-8; and Mystical Masquerade, Oct. 13-14.

In October, the festival also will be the site of filming for a Los Angelesbased filmmaker originally from Kansas City.

Stew Redwine plans to shoot his next short film, “The Joust,” Oct. 6-8 at the festival. Auditions for the film will be held through today, and Redwine also will work with Iowabased jousting company Joust Evolution.

said she hopes Schodorf becomes a Democrat.

“We would welcome Jean with open arms,” she said. “I think Jean would be an asset to any party. It will be a great loss to the GOP.” Although she said she knows of no other elected Republicans who have left their party, Johnson said, “from what I understand, there are many moderatethinking Republicans who think they are no longer welcome in their party.”

Bob Dool, chairman of the county Republican Party, said the party welcomes moderates.

“We have Libertarians, we have tea party people, and we have moderates,” he said. “We don’t exclude anybody.”

HOW TO HELP

Could you decode the crosswalks at the Lawrence Arts Center and at 12th and Kentucky? I’m not sure Staff Reports what all of the options mean for drivers.

Megan Gilliland, a spokeswoman for the city, gave this overview of the process at those two locations.

The crosswalk lighting remains “dark” until activated by a pedestrian pushing the button. Then, this sequence occurs: ! The vehicle indications “flash” yellow, which means you may proceed through the intersection with caution. ! The vehicle indications display a “steady” yellow, which means a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter. ! The vehicle indications display a double “steady” red, which means stop. ! The vehicle indications alternately “flash” red which means stop, then proceed after yielding to any pedestrians within the crosswalk. ! The vehicle indications return to “dark.”

Late court decisions may play role in 2012 election

By Mike Baker Associated Press

Before voters get a say in this year’s presidential race, lawyers and judges are having theirs.

A series of court battles in several states may determine, over the next several weeks, everything from how people cast their votes, when polling locations will be open and what ballots will look like.

Many cases have a partisan bent, with rulings potentially tipping the scales slightly in favor of Democrats or Republicans.

The legal fights have entered an urgent phase, two months before the Nov. 6 election and just a few weeks before military and overseas absentee ballots must go out.

Pennsylvania lawyers recently filed briefs arguing whether an appeal on the state’s strict voter ID law should be held in September or October.

Opponents won a midSeptember court date, which is late even by their standards.

“This is by no means impossible, but certainly the closer you get a decision to Election Day the harder it is to make changes,” said Vic Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin’s attorney general is making a late push in the courts to re-

“

This is by no means impossible, but certainly the closer you get a decision to Election Day the harder it is to make changes.”

— Vic Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania instate voter ID requirements.

Republicans say they have pursued voter ID laws to prevent fraud. Democrats call it a political ploy to suppress voters who may not have the proper identification, particularly affecting groups that typically vote Democrat.

Along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, there are unresolved cases in Florida, Ohio, Iowa and Nevada. Those are among the most competitive states and any factor could tip the balance. ! Florida and Ohio are locked in litigation tied to changes in early voting rules. !" Florida and Iowa are dealing with suits related to the efforts by election administrators to purge voting rolls of ineligible people. !" Nevada is dealing with a unique case over the state’s decades-old voting option of “none of the above.” The state attorney general is appeal-

ing a federal court’s decision that the ballot option is unconstitutional.

Nevada officials filed an emergency motion in that case Thursday, noting that the state must finalize ballots for overseas and military voters by Sept 7.

The lengthy legal docket continues a trend seen since the disputed 2000 election in Florida. Between that election and the 2010 vote, the amount of election law litigation has more than doubled, according to Rick Hasen, a professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine. New technologies, more partisan fighting and a series of new laws that affect voting are helping drive the trend.

The legal battles before Election Day may be just a first round. Thousands of lawyers and activists are preparing to help deal with issues for the campaigns that may arise Nov. 6, and they are poised to handle longer disputes if a crucial state turns out to be nearly tied, as Florida was in 2000.

Hasen said the Florida vote taught both sides that there isn’t much benefit in waiting until after the election to resolve disagreements over election administration.

“If you’re going to sue, it’s better to sue earlier rather than later,” Hasen said.

Obama slaps ‘Romney doesn’t care’ on rival’s health care views

By Ben Feller and David Espo Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Campaigning his way toward the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama slapped a “Romney doesn’t care” label on his rival’s health care views Sunday and said Obama Republicans want to repeal new protections for millions without offering a plan of their Biden own.

Vice President Joe Biden swiftly broadened the attack, accusing Republicans of seeking to undermine the decadesold federal program millions of seniors rely on for health care. “We are for Medicare. They are for voucher care,” he said.

The president and vice president campaigned separately across three battleground states as delegates descended on the Democrats’ convention city for two days of

partying before their first official meeting Tuesday in the Time Warner Cable Arena.

An enormous sand sculpture made in Obama’s likeness served as a reminder, as if any were needed, that the Democrats were in town.

Some 800 demonstrators marched through the streets around the convention hall, protesting what they call corporate greed as well as U.S. drone strikes overseas, said to kill children as well as terrorists. Dozens of police officers walked along with the protesters’ parade, carrying gas masks, wooden batons and plastic hand ties.

One arrest was reported, for public intoxication.

The economy is the dominant issue of the campaign, and Biden’s itinerary, in particular, underscored the threat that a sluggish recovery and high, 8.3 percent unemployment pose to Democrats seeking another term in power.

He was in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that have received little attention previously as the candidates, their parties and outside allies concentrate on the areas of the country deemed most competitive.

His presence suggested the race in both states was tightening.

There was additional evidence of the same concern,

as the president’s senior surrogates refused to give a direct answer when asked on Sunday morning television programs if Americans are better off than they were four years ago.

“We’ve clearly improved ... from the depths of the recession,” said David Plouffe, one of Obama’s top White House aides.

He sought to swiftly turn the question into criticism of the Republicans.

“The Romney path would be the wrong path for the middle class, the wrong path for this country,” he insisted.

Asked the same better-or-not question that has become a staple of presidential campaigns, another top adviser, David Axelrod, answered, “I think the average American recognizes that it took years to create the crisis that erupted in 2008 and peaked in January of 2009.

And it’s going to take some time to work through it.”

Obama spoke on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, and made his now familiar plea for students to register and vote. He benefited enormously from the support of younger voters four years ago and can ill-afford a fall-off in their support — or enthusiasm— in 2012.

Neb., S.D. wildfires grow with help of strong wind

By Josh Funk Associated Press

OMAHA, NEB. — Wildfires in northwestern Nebraska tripled in size in less than 24 hours, as strong winds pushed flames through the rugged, rural terrain.

More than 285 square miles — an area more than twice the size of the state’s largest city, Omaha — had burned by Sunday afternoon, fire officials said. One of the fires had crossed into South Dakota this weekend and burned more than 50 square miles, including land on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

A day earlier, the fires had only burned roughly 93 square miles in the ranching territory that’s favored by deer and turkey hunters.

“We’ve got a very challenging situation out here because of the winds and the very dry conditions,” Gov. Dave Heineman said Sunday after touring the damage and meeting with officials.

Cooler weather moved through the area Saturday night, helping firefighters mostly contain two major fires — the West Ash and Douthit fires — near Chadron. But winds gusted up to 40 mph Sunday, helping spread the fires through drought-stricken trees and grasses.

The Wellnitz fire, north of Rushville, broke through containment lines Sunday, Heineman said. The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency said it had burned roughly 150 square miles by Sunday evening.

Heineman said it will likely take several more days to fully contain the fires, but he says firefighters appear to have all the resources they need to do that.

Overall, the fires have damaged at least 10 homes

Cooler weather Saturday night helped firefighters mostly contain the West Ash fire and Douthit fire, but winds Sunday caused the fires to spread throughout drought-stricken trees and grasses. and more than 50 structures in Nebraska and South Dakota. The fires also forced the evacuation of several small communities, although residents of the small town of Whitney, southwest of Chadron, were allowed to return home Sunday.

Rushville Assistant Fire

Chief Jerry Kearns said Sunday that firefighters are working hard to contain the fires and protect property, but they sometimes have to make difficult choices. Kearns said it’s hard to watch a rancher’s hay burn because of this summer’s ongoing drought.

U.S. stops training Imam arrested in Quran burning case some Afghan forces after attacks PAKISTAN

By Rebecca Santana

Associated Press

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN (AP) — The U.S. military has halted the training of some Afghan forces while it digs deeper into their background following a surge of attacks by soldiers and police on their international partners, officials said Sunday.

The move only puts about 1,000 Afghan trainees into limbo, a small fraction of the country’s security forces. But it shows how these attacks have the potential to derail the U.S.-Afghan handover of security so essential to the international drawdown strategy.

Officials say that the international coalition ultimately hopes to recheck the backgrounds of the entire 350,000-strong Afghan army and police.

The United States and its allies are pushing to have Afghan forces take over security for the country by the end of 2014. This effort has been imperiled by the spike in insider attacks that have killed 45 international service members this year, most of them Americans.

There were at least 12 such attacks in August alone, resulting in 15 deaths.

The attacks are straining an alliance already stretched by a tense relationship with a notoriously corrupt Afghan government and disagreements over NATO tactics that Kabul claims endanger civilians.

Coalition authorities have said about 25 percent of this year’s insider attacks had confirmed or suspected links to the Taliban. The militants

The militants have sometimes infiltrated the ranks of the Afghan army and police and in other cases are believed to have coerced or otherwise persuaded legitimate members to turn on their coalition partners. have sometimes infiltrated the ranks of the Afghan army and police and in other cases are believed to have coerced or otherwise persuaded legitimate members to turn on their coalition partners.

NATO is currently training thousands of Afghans.

The 1,000 put into limbo by the training freeze are part of a 16,000-strong unit dubbed the Afghan Local Police. They are actually much more of a government-backed militia, technically under the authority of the national police but operating independently.

They are the only force that the U.S. alone is in charge of training.

“With this increased interest in the insider threat, everybody started looking at it and saying: ‘What can we do to make sure that all of our vetting processes are in place?’ We’re going through and looking at everything,” said Lt. Col. Todd Harrell, a spokesman in Afghanistan for the U.S. special operations forces.

“It may take a month, it may take two months, we don’t know,” Harrell said.

ISLAMABAD — A Muslim cleric is accused of stashing pages of a Quran in a Christian girl’s bag to make it seem like she burned the Islamic holy book, a surprising twist in a case that caused an international outcry over the country’s strict blasphemy laws.

Pakistani police arrested Khalid Chishti late Saturday after a member of the cleric’s mosque accused the imam of planting evidence as a way to push the Christians out of the neighborhood. Chishti denied the charges Sunday while being led to court in shackles, wearing a white blindfold.

“I have not done anything wrong. This is all fabrication,” he defiantly told reporters.

The imam’s arrest could release the girl, who supporters say is mentally handicapped, out of prison, where she faces a life sentence if convicted of charges she desecrated the Quran. A bail hearing is scheduled for today.

But Christians who fled the neighborhood when the girl was arrested worry about the use of laws that critics say are often abused to settle scores or target minorities.

“We all are suffering,” said Somera Ashraf, a Christian woman from the girl’s neighborhood.

Ashraf and her family fled the neighborhood with many other Christians when the blasphemy allegations came to light, fearing retribution. She only recently returned but still doesn’t feel safe.

Police said Chishti

planted pages of a Quran in a shopping bag containing burned papers and ash that had been carried by the Christian girl. The bag was then submitted as evidence to the police.

A member of his mosque came forward Saturday — more than two weeks after the girl’s arrest — and accused the imam of planting the evidence, said the investigating officer, Munir Jaffery.

The case has shone an uncomfortable spotlight on the punishments for violating Pakistan’s blasphemy laws and caused an uproar in the country, largely because of the girl’s age and questions about her mental capacity.

The girl’s supporters say she is 11 years old and has Down syndrome; a medical board said she was about 14 and that her mental age didn’t match her physical age.

The Associated Press does not generally identify juveniles under 18 who are accused of crimes and is withholding her name.

BRIEFLY

The girl’s lawyer, Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, said the imam’s arrest proves his client is innocent and said he will likely move to throw the case out today.

Rarely if ever are people who bring blasphemy charges investigated or arrested for misuse of the law.

Ali Dayan Hasan, head of Human Rights Watch in Pakistan, said the decision

to act against the cleric was “unprecedented.”

“What it indicates is a genuine attempt at investigation rather than blaming the victim, which is what normally happens in blasphemy cases,” said Hasan. “They are actually taking a look at incitement to violence and false allegations. It is a welcome and positive development.”

N.Y. probing equity firms, including Bain ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s attorney general is investigating tax strategies of some of the nation’s largest private equity firms, including Bain Capital, founded

by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, an official familiar with the probe said Sunday.

Attorney General Eric Romney Schneiderman is examining whether the firms have abused a tax strategy to avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe. The practice involves converting some fees collected for managing accounts into fund investments, resulting in a lower tax rate.

Some tax experts who spoke to The New York Times, which first reported the investigation Sunday, believed the strategy was potentially illegal, though other experts said it was commonplace and proper.

Moon founded his Bible-based religion in Seoul in 1954, a year after the Korean War ended, saying Jesus Christ personally called on him to complete his work.

The church gained fame — and notoriety — by marrying thousands of followers in mass ceremonies presided over

by Moon himself. The couples often came from different countries and had never met, but were matched up by Moon in a bid to build a multicultural religious world.

Today, the Unification Church claims 3 million followers, including 100,000 members in the U.S., and has sent missionaries to 194 countries, Ahn said. But ex-members and critics say the figure is actually no more than 100,000 members worldwide.

The church’s holdings included the Washington Times newspaper; Connecticut’s Bridgeport University; the New Yorker Hotel, a midtown Manhattan art deco landmark, and a seafood distribution firm that supplies sushi to Japanese restaurants across the U.S.

Job satisfaction Especially in difficult economic times, Americans should recognize and appreciate the importance of working and earning a wage.

T

hese days Labor Day is mostly celebrated as a federal holiday that comes with a three-day weekend and marks the unofficial end of summer, but it’s still an appropriate time to ponder the significance of work and American workers.

The value of work has taken on new significance in recent years as unemployment lingers a little above 8 percent in the United States. Americans who don’t have jobs know better than anyone else the importance of working and earning a wage.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the holiday “is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.” Those achievements certainly are worthy of celebration. Throughout our history, Americans have labored in many industries that support both their families and the nation’s economy.

Much of Americans’ sense of pride and identity is tied up in the jobs they hold.

Sometimes those jobs are physically demanding, even dangerous. Sometimes, they are necessary but not particularly fulfilling. Yet, most workers have a sense of pride in the jobs they do and the ability those jobs give them to earn a living, support a home and perhaps have a little something left over for recreation.

The fact that unemployment rates remain stubbornly high is a matter of concern to all Americans. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after hitting a decade low of 4.4 percent in 2007, the nation’s unemployment rate rose to 10 percent in October 2009. There has been an overall downward trend since that time, with July unemployment at 8.3 percent, but the jobless rate and the desire to create more jobs still is a top focus of current election campaigns at all levels. Whether they are running for mayor or president of the United States, candidates are quick to promise they will create more jobs and put more people to work if they are elected.

Those promises resonate with voters because they know the value of work. It not only supports the economy, it builds self-esteem and national pride. It upholds the promise of the American dream that those who work hard will be successful.

On Labor Day and every day, it’s important to honor the value of honest labor and the workers who do it.

Selection of Ryan changes campaign Thursday night’s convention speech, the symbolic opening of Barack Obama’s general-election effort, represents an important moment in this year’s campaign. But no matter what the president says, and no matter how well he says it, history likely will record that the 2012 presidential race was transformed not in September but in August — and not by anything that happened at the Republican National Convention in Tampa last week.

That’s because this is no longer a campaign of Obama against Mitt Romney. It’s a campaign of Obama against Rep. Paul Ryan.

Not in a generation — perhaps not ever — has a vicepresidential nominee had such a transformative effect on a national political ticket. nee in 2000. Both tickets lost By selecting Ryan, Romney close races and both running mates faltered early in their own, separate presidential campaigns four years later.

But Ryan did something that neither Muskie nor Lieberman did. He added a new ideological cast to his ticket.

are not genuine, aren’t really the point anymore.

None of this is to say that if the Republicans win, Romney won’t be the top dog, make the Cabinet choices, sketch the outlines of American foreign policies and be the public face of the nation at international summits. He will. But Ryan is the Reggie Jackson of the Republicans. He’s the straw that stirs the drink.

He also stirs something deep in the modern Republican Party, which for the last six elections has had a rebellious, muscular conservative undertone but each time has nominated for president a conventional Republican, steeped in establishment values and possessing conventional qualifications — a vice president, two incumbent presidents, two high-profile senators who had both lost earlier nomination fights. Mush that together and you have Richard Nixon, who, remarkably, qualifies on all counts.

Unconventional choice Romney is conventional as well. Like George W. Bush, he served as governor of an important state and, like both Presidents Bush, he was reared by a prominent political father. But Romney’s running mate is a House member, which is unusual but not unprecedented, and Ryan also is the author of the principal Republican budget proposal, one that takes dead aim at the spending and entitlement programs that are like the weather: Everyone talks about them, but nobody does anything about them.

Much of last week’s GOP convention was designed to burnish the image of Romney, to add human dimensions to his profile, to portray him as an experienced job creator

who can do what Obama has failed to do: trim unemployment substantially and get the economy moving. Seeking to make the public comfortable with an alternative to the incumbent is standard fare for a challenger’s convention.

But what is different in 2012 is that the table-setting for the fall campaign has been altered. Nobody is talking much about Romney’s ideas. People are talking about Ryan’s. Nobody is saying there is Republican excitement over Romney. People are talking about Ryan.

This week the Democrats will spend plenty of time demonizing Romney. They’ll say he is an outsourcer, a heartless private-equity wizard whose eyes turn to the bottom line and away from the human costs of efficiency, a bloodless executive lacking in the common touch.

Attack will focus on Ryan But the ideas the Democrats will demonize won’t be Romney’s but Ryan’s. He’s the guy who makes Republican hearts flutter — and who gives Democrats heartburn.

Since the spring the political class has wondered what might happen when Obama and Romney meet for a debate. Onetime Jimmy Carter speechwriter James Fallows even filled eight Atlantic Monthly pages this month speculating on this looming meeting of titans.

But that may not be the main event. The real fun will occur Oct. 11. That’s when Biden and Ryan face off in front of a national audience.

Skip it and you’ll likely miss the biggest moment of the 2012 campaign.

— David M. Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh PostGazette.

The black and white code of politics Lord help us, they’re talking race again.

“They” meaning Republicans and Democrats. Race is a critical, sensitive and sometimes painful issue with relevance to everything from environmental policy to education reform to criminal justice to media to health care.

For a politician to address it requires political courage.

That’s why politicians do not address it. Usually.

That changes during political season when a given pol calculates that breaking his customary silence might net some tactical advantage.

Which is how we come to find Newt Gingrich last week on MSNBC piously lamenting how “racist” is the network’s Chris Matthews. The former House speaker displayed this previously unknown concern about racial misbehavior while defending himself against charges of same.

It seems Matthews had the temerity to suggest that Gingrich, in calling Barack Obama a “food stamp president” during the GOP primary, had engaged in dog whistle politics designed to rouse the racial resentments of white working-class voters. Gingrich was shocked — shocked! — at the notion.

“Why do you assume food stamp refers to black?” he

Leonard Pitts Jr.

The point being that in the public mind, certain terms — ‘urban,’ ‘poverty,’ ‘crime’ — carry racial weight, often at odds with reality. They are ways of saying ‘black’ without saying ‘black.’”

asked. “What kind of racist thinking do you have?”

It is apparently news to Gingrich that politicians sometimes speak in code, that when, for instance, Ronald Reagan referenced his made-up “welfare queens” he was really promising white voters he’d make those lazy blacks get up off their behinds and work.

There was a study in the ‘90s in which people had to envision a drug user, then describe the person they had envisioned. Ninety-five percent envisioned someone black. This, even though only

about 15 percent of drug users actually are black. The point being that in the public mind, certain terms — “urban,” “poverty,” “crime” — carry racial weight, often at odds with reality. They are ways of saying “black” without saying “black.”

The idea that Gingrich — a 69-year-old career politician — does not know this, or realize that “food stamp president,” is such a term, strains credulity.

If he’s really that much of a naif, let us hope no one has told him the truth about the Tooth Fairy. It would break the poor man’s heart.

Where race is concerned, Newt Gingrich is a disingenuous hypocrite. And Joe Biden is just a fool.

Did the vice president really tell a largely black audience two weeks back that if Mitt Romney is elected, the GOP will “put y’all back in chains.” Y’all? Really? A slavery joke? Really?

Lord, have mercy.

Why didn’t Biden just show up with his pants sagging while gnawing a chicken bone? It couldn’t have been any less subtle.

There are — what? — 14, 15 black Republicans in this country? So Gingrich is offending voters his party does not have. But Biden is pandering — clumsily — to vot-

ers his party does have and routinely ignores until just before Election Day. Black voters do not need to hear Biden say “y’all” any more than they needed, in 2006, to hear Hillary Clinton accuse the GOP of running a “plantation.”

What they — we — need is for the left and right to stop using us like hardware. What we need is for would-be leaders to approach us with agendas tailored to our concerns.

Talk about how you’re going to bring investment to the inner city. Talk about ending the mass incarceration of young black men under the failed War on Drugs. Talk about job training. Talk about restoring the voting rights of ex-felons.

Talk about fixing schools.

Do those things and you won’t have to say y’all. But of course, that’s too much to ask. So instead, we get Gingrich’s dewy-eyed innocent act and Biden’s linguistic blackface, the same old buck and wing of cynicism, opportunism and nonsense.

It turns out there’s actually one thing more aggravating than politicians who don’t talk about race. That’s politicians who do.

KU FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@lwojrld.com

Recruits will fill the gaps Spotting the Kansas University defensive lineman who came out of high school advertised as an outstanding prospect was an easy task in Saturday night’s 31-17, season-opening victory against South Dakota State.

Too easy.

Josh Williams, the fifthyear transfer who graduated from Nebraska, has that long and lean look of a quarterback hunter. He has quicker, more agile movements than the rest of KU’s D-linemen.

Charlie Weis won’t feel as if he’s upgraded recruiting enough until he has athletes who look and move that way and don’t stand out so much from teammates.

Kansas called so many of its running plays to go left because from center moving left on the line, three fifth-year returning starters line up, two of whom have all-conference ability. Weis is trying to build a program that gives him five experienced, reliable linemen so that one side won’t be significantly better than the other.

Upgrading recruiting won’t be easy, but Weis’ big name gives him a shot at doing so. The depth of talent still isn’t where it needs to be, but newcomers brought in by Weis already made an impact in the season opener.

Williams knocked a ball loose and recovered a fumble on the same play. Junior-college transfer Taylor Cox, his night tainted by a red-zone fumble, rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown.

Freshman receiver Josh Ford blocked a punt. For a guy who wasn’t in town for spring conditioning and arrived late to camp in order to finish his junior-college academic responsibilities and isn’t close to being in good game shape, defensive tackle Jordan Tavai did some good things.

In the half-time-adjustment department, the offensive line that looked so disjointed at times in the first half appeared more cohesive in the second.

The first half showed how far the program must progress to compete in the Big 12, and the second half indicated how much the Jayhawks have moved forward from a year ago.

So often the past two seasons, poor third-quarter play was attributed to a failure to make half-time adjustments, and fourth-quarter bumblings were traced to an inadequate strengthand-conditioning program.

Special-teams disasters didn’t favor any particular period.

The players sprinted to the finish line better Saturday than in the recent past, and special teams performed more reliably.

Clint Bowen doesn’t qualify as a newcomer, rather a home-comer, but the impact of his return shouldn’t be overlooked. A defensive coordinator at KU, Western Kentucky and North Texas, Bowen was special-teams coordinator at KU from 2001-2005. Weis’ convincing Bowen to coach the special teams and defensive backs counts as a solid recruiting job in itself. Now if Weis, Bowen and the rest can score big in recruiting, nervous openers will become rare.

What, Weis worry?

KANSAS COACH CHARLIE WEIS HAS A TALK WITH QUARTERBACK DAYNE CRIST and tight end Mike Ragone in the second quarter of Saturday’s 31-17 victory over South Dakota State.

Coach sees good, bad, ‘crummy’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Fans of Kansas University football — particularly those who had hoped to see a blowout in Saturday’s season opener — might have gotten a jump-start on critiquing KU’s 31-17 victory against South Dakota State on Saturday night.

KU coach Charlie Weis did his best to catch up Sunday.

It was clear Saturday that Weis was pleased but not completely satisfied with his team’s opening act, and Sunday, after a productive practice, he detailed what he took away from the game film.

“There were a lot of good plays on offense, a lot of good plays on defense and a lot of big plays on special teams,” Weis said. “But, at the same time, there were a lot of crummy plays, too.”

Those “crummy plays” came at various points.

From poor chemistry between quarterback Dayne Crist and his receivers to struggles with the kickoff team, all of KU’s woes showed up crystalclear on film, Weis said.

LINEMAN DUANE ZLATNIK LIFTS KANSAS RUNNING BACK TONY PIERSON (3) to celebrate a first-quarter touchdown with teammates Jimmay Mundine, left, and Toben Opurum (35).

“It was about what I expected,” he said. “This was a really good day for us because we got a chance to watch all the stuff as a coaching staff and go over it thoroughly. We had plenty of time to show it to the players, explain the good, the bad and the ugly and still turn this into a work day, physically.”

As for what jumped out the

most, the list was long but not all that alarming.

“There’s a handful of things,” Weis said. “You want better production in the passing game, you want to have better efficiency on thirddown offensively, I’m not satisfied with three out of five touchdowns in the red zone, and then we gave up six explosive plays.”

KU’s first-year coach did not seem overly troubled by any of the aforementioned aspects of Saturday’s game.

“The only area of concern I had was our kickoff team because we didn’t kick the ball great on kickoffs, and we had a couple decent-sized returns that put us in a little bit of a problem,” Weis said.

On six opportunities, the Jackrabbits averaged 27.3 yards per kickoff return. The Jayhawks, however, never got the chance to return a kickoff, as all four SDSU kickoffs resulted in touchbacks compared with zero touchbacks for Kansas.

KU also struggled on field goals, as junior Ron Doherty connected on just one of two attempts and missed a 35-yarder on the first drive of the game. Weis said KU’s place-kicking woes were far less worrisome than what he saw on kickoffs.

“The wind in the north end was a lot more significant in the kicking game than it was in the passing game,” Weis Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Henry relishes KU return ————

Ex-Jayhawk/current Hornet beats Isaac out of New Orleans

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

New Orleans Hornets guard Xavier Henry — who had been working out in the Big Easy after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery on July 27 — hopped in his car and headed north last Monday, just a few hours ahead of Hurricane Isaac.

“I was down there with some of my teammates getting ready for the season early because we’re so young,” said Henry, a 21-year-old, third-year pro out of Kansas University.

“We’re trying to get acclimated with each other. They told us Hurricane Isaac was coming and didn’t know how bad it would be, so they let us evacuate. I went home (to Oklahoma City) and got some treatment then came

“

It’s great to be out here because the atmosphere at Kansas is something I’ve never been around ever in my life. It was the best time I’ve ever had in my life.”

— Xavier Henry here,” Henry added before the KU-South Dakota State football game Saturday outside Memorial Stadium.

Henry played at KU as a freshman in 2009-10 before entering the NBA Draft, where he was selected 12th overall by Memphis. He spent the weekend in his former college town, headed back to OKC on Sunday and was to drive back to rain-

soaked New Orleans sometime this week.

“It’s great to be out here because the atmosphere at Kansas is something I’ve never been around ever in my life. It was the best time I’ve ever had in my life,” Henry said of his year as a Jayhawk, in which he averaged 13.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

The sweet-shooting lefty, who helped KU to a 33-3 record, has battled a series of injuries his first two years in the pros.

“Injuries happen to everybody. It’s how you deal with them,” said Henry, who played in just 38 games for the Grizzlies his rookie season. Memphis cut ties with the 6-foot-6, 220-pounder, trading him to New Orleans

Perhaps the most anticipated week in TCU football history has arrived as the Horned Frogs prepare to open their season against Grambling State.

But the momentous week is about so much more than just the season opener.

Fans can finally get to tour the renovated Amon G. Carter Stadium during an open house Thursday. The Frogs’ inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference is finally just days away. “You pinch yourself,� said TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte, who will be on hand, along with Chancellor Victor Boschini and others for a dedication ceremony prior to the open house Thursday. “It’s a huge week for us. It’s here.�

The new stadium, 21 months in the making, and the new conference, 16 years in waiting since the demise of the Southwest Conference, come together in one week that signifies a new era around the campus. For longtime fans, who sat through three decades of mostly losing football in the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, it’s a moment to reflect on how far the school — not just the football program — has come. “It’s a different TCU from the school I attended and graduated from,� said former TCU player Chuck Mooney, who lives in Aledo. “I need a tour guide just to find my way around campus.

The bricks and mortar are different, the attitude is different.

When I was there our wildest dreams were to win the Southwest Conference and go to the Cotton Bowl. That would have been the perfect season. These kids playing there today, their dreams are much wilder than ours ever were. If these kids have a perfect season they have a legitimate chance to play for a national championship.�

As optimistic as players were while playing for coach Jim Wacker, said Mooney, who played from 1987-90, “Something like that would have never entered our mindset.�

The mindset was changing by the time Michael DePriest was part of one of coach Gary Patterson’s first recruiting classes in 2002. DePriest played receiver from 2003-06 and brought his 6-year-old nephew to DanielMeyer Coliseum on Saturday for the Meet the Frogs autograph session. He was taking in the new stadium, new weight room and other facilities during the visit. “The guys before us said ‘you guys have it good,’� DePriest said. “Now we come here and we see all of this. It’s just amazing. They talked about doing all that stuff (back then). I always believed it and knew it was a matter of time.�

While this week may be a culmination of dreams for many TCU alumni and administrators, Del Conte cautioned that it’s really just the beginning. “It’s really about the journey we’ve been on since the Southwest Conference broke up,� he said. “All the trials and tribulations we went through and all the investment they made.

This week symbolizes that journey. It’s not ending, but it symbolizes that now is a new frontier.�

DENNY HAMLIN DOES A BURNOUT after winning the Sprint Cup race Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga.

Hamlin holds off Gordon for Atlanta victory HAMPTON, GA. — Denny Hamlin won his second straight Sprint Cup race, holding off Jeff Gordon in a green-white-checkered finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.

Martin Truex Jr. appeared to be positioned for his first win since 2007 until Jamie McMurray smashed the wall on the front straightaway, bringing out a caution with three laps to go. The leaders went to pit road, and Hamlin’s crew got him back on the track first, just ahead of Truex.

While Truex struggled to get up to speed on the restart, Hamlin pulled away with Gordon right on his bumper. The four-time Cup champion desperately needed a win to improve his chances of getting into the Chase, but couldn’t get by Hamlin on the final lap.

Hamlin took his series-leading fourth victory, putting him in position to top the standings when the 12-driver Chase starts after next weekend’s race at Richmond. “I wanted this one real bad,� said Hamlin, the winner last week at Bristol. “The car faded a little bit, but the pit crew won me that race. That’s what a championship team is all about. This year, I think we have it all.�

Brad Keselowski finished third, and Truex faded to fourth.

Along with Hamlin, eight other drivers have locked up their spot in the Chase based on points: Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Truex, Keselowski, Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick. Defending Cup champion Tony Stewart, who has three wins this season, is assured of at least a wild card.

Gordon was kicking himself for failing to pull off the pass on Hamlin, saying he was too tentative going into turn three. Now, he’ll likely have to win at Richmond to claim a wild card. “I guess I’m getting soft in my old age,� Gordon quipped.

It was another tough night for last year’s Cup runner-up, Carl Edwards, who came in desperately needing a win to lock up a spot in the Chase. The No. 99 car started smoking on lap 264, apparently from a blown piston. He was done for the night, a devastating blow to his chances.

AUTO RACING

Hunter-Reay wins Baltimore BALTIMORE — Ryan Hunter-Reay won the Grand Prix of Baltimore on Sunday, a victory that keeps alive his hopes of winning the IZOD IndyCar Series championship.

Will Power could have clinched the overall title with a win, but the pole sitter finished sixth in a race that drew nine caution flags and was marred by rain.

Power will take a 17-point lead over HunterReay into the final race of the year, on the oval in Fontana, Calif., on Sept. 15.

Ryan Briscoe took second, rookie Simon Pagenaud finished third and Scott Dixon was fourth.

The race was marked by controversy, with Power and Briscoe questioning Hunter-Reay’s timing on a restart near the end of the race. Officials said a replay showed Hunter-Reay acted appropriately.

“I’m in a good place,� he said. “I did something I felt was right, and I’m always going to feel right. I’m not going to feel wrong for what I did it at all. And that’s why I can come back and not have a negative attitude. I think if you regret things, you’re going to come back salty, be a distraction, things like that. “I don’t feel that way ‘cause what I did was right. No one can tell me it was wrong. Not one person here can tell me what I did was wrong.�

Jones-Drew arrived at the team facility Sunday morning, chatted with teammates and then had a 40-minute conversation with coach Mike Mularkey.

Later, he spent nearly half an hour answering questions about his holdout, even getting to a point where he told reporters to “make sure we all get this out of the way because I’m done after this.� “This is the last talk about the whole contract situation,� he said. “We’re going to more forward to football after this.�

Jones-Drew considered skipping games, missing paychecks and causing an even bigger distraction for the team. Ultimately, though, he opted to report a week before the season opener. Jacksonville plays at Minnesota next Sunday.

Mularkey can fine MJD up to $30,000 a day — plus $60,000 for a three-day, mandatory minicamp in June — meaning the total tab could end up being $1.2 million. Jones-Drew declined to reveal what he and Mularkey discussed regarding the potential fine.

Jones-Drew is scheduled to make $4.45 million in 2012 and $4.95 million next year.

SOCCER

Dempsey on U.S. roster CHICAGO — Two days after a surprise move to Tottenham, Clint Dempsey has been named to the U.S. men’s roster for its upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica.

Dempsey, who hasn’t played a competitive match since a World Cup qualifier in June while he sorted out his club status, was one of 25 players on the roster announced Sunday by coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The Americans travel to Kingston for a game Friday, then host the Reggae Boyz four days later in Columbus, Ohio.

The teams are tied atop Group A with four points each, though the Americans have the edge in goal differential.

Oosthuizen bolts to big lead

NORTON, MASS. — Louis Oosthuizen combined one of the sweetest swings in golf with a putting stroke that was just as pure. That’s all it took for him to race by Rory McIlroy, leave Tiger Woods behind and seize control Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Oosthuizen ran off seven straight birdies. He shot a 29 on the front nine of the TPC Boston.

And at one point, he went 19 consecutive holes without missing a green. One last birdie on the par-5 18th gave him an 8-under 63 and a threeshot lead over McIlroy going into the Labor Day finish.

McIlroy, trying to match Woods with his third NFL PGA Tour win this year, did well just to stay in range.

Royals avoid sweep, 6-4 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Tony Abreu is making the most of his limited chances and that could earn more playing time.

Abreu drove in three runs and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-4, Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

Abreu’s three RBIs matched his career high, set on Sept. 18, 2007 while with Arizona at Colorado.

“He’s got some clutch hits,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He had some great at-bats, really was huge offensively for us. I would gather to say he’s been more of a clutch hitter than a good hitter. I mean he’s hitting .300, but the majority of his hits have either tied ball games or given us the lead. He’s done a great job for us.”

“He made some great defensive plays (Saturday).

He’s done a tremendous job for us defensively.”

Abreu, appearing in his eighth game since his Aug. 8 promotion from Triple-A Omaha, deliv-

Abreu’s two-out sixth inning single scored Hos-

mer, who had doubled, and broke a 4-4 tie.

Yost said he would probably give shortstop Alcides Escobar off today and play Abreu, who is hitting .344 with seven RBIs while starting four games at second base, three at third and one at shortstop.

“I just see him as a good hitter,” Royals closer Greg Holland said. “He doesn’t try to do too much. He puts good swings on the ball and works the count.

I guess that counts as clutch.”

Holland struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth to log his 10th save in 12 chances. He is 9-for-9 in save situations since the Royals traded closer Jonathan Broxton on July 31 to Cincinnati.

The Twins jumped out to a 2-0 lead on Justin Morneau’s groundout in the first and Chris Parmelee’s homer in the next inning.

In the fifth inning, Billy Butler singled home David Lough, who had four

hits in his first two bigleague games.

The Twins tied it in the sixth on a two-run single by Alexi Casilla on a full-count pitch with two out and the bases loaded against Tim Collins.

While Collins (5-2) got a blown save, he also got the win.

Starter Luis Mendoza left with a 4-2 lead after five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, throwing 84 pitches.

“Mendoza was starting to labor,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “They had (Joe) Mauer, (Justin) Morneau and (Ryan) Doumit coming up. I just said I’m going to match up from here. I wish he could have got the win.”

The Royals padded their lead in the eighth with Lorenzo Cain’s runproducing double.

Esmerling Vasquez (01), who was making his first big-league start after 141 relief appearances, allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks in 52⁄3 innings.

A HEADS-UP PLAY

KANSAS FORWARD JAMIE FLETCHER (11) HEADS THE BALL as she helps defend the goal against an Arizona State corner kick. KU and ASU played to a 2-all draw on Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Kansas soccer ties ASU, 2-2 J-W Staff Reports

Senior Whitney Berry netted the game-tying goal from 40 yards out in the 85th minute as Kansas University and the Arizona State played to a 2-2 soccer draw Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

KU, which had won three straight coming in, moved to 4-1-1. The Sun Devils are 1-3-1.

Berry knocked in her second goal of the season with just five minutes remaining in regulation. The 40-yard bomb came off a free-kick assist from junior Amy Grow and found

said. “Unfortunately, most of the field-goal opportunities were going in that direction.”

More, please One day after toting the ball 20 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns, sophomore tailback Tony Pierson, who stands 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, hit the practice field feeling good.

“He was begging for more,” Weis said. “He would’ve taken as many (carries) as I would’ve given him, but I explained to him that it’s a long season, and we gotta be smart.”

KU’s running backs finished with 42 carries — 20 for Pierson, 16 for junior Taylor Cox, five for Brandon Bourbon and one for Marquis Jackson.

“When you run the ball (42) times, there’s enough carries for everybody,” Weis said.

Although a handful of the 42 carries — which accounted for 255 yards — were highlight-worthy, Weis particularly liked

the net just one minute after ASU claimed the lead on a free-kick goal from freshman Christina Schedel.

The Berry goal sent Kansas into its third overtime match of the year.

The Jayhawks move to 1-11 in overtime contests this season.

For the second-consecutive match, the Jayhawks took an early lead thanks to Ashley Williams goal.

The freshman knocked in her fifth goal of the season with a cross from fellow freshman Courtney Dickerson, her first assist of the year.

one from Cox where the 5-11, 210-pound tailback took an inside hand-off, cut to the left, made a couple of guys miss and could not shake the safety at the end.

“He just lowered his shoulder and basically put the guy right on his back,” Weis said. “When a guy has enough wiggle and shake-and-bake to make people miss, but is physical enough to run people over, that’s a good sign.”

Jayhawks injury-free Weis said KU suffered no notable injuries Saturday.

“Knock on wood, this was as clean a day as I can remember for a Sunday,” he said.

The Jayhawk didn’t allow a goal over the next 70 minutes. Senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau collected a season-high five saves in that span and had the Jayhawks on the verge of their fourth-consecutive shutout victory.

In the 81st minute however, the Jayhawks were unable to clear the ball out of their own box, giving freshman Cali Farquharson an opportunity to head the ball into the KU net.

It wasn’t long after the ASU equalizer that the Sun Devils scored the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute. Schedel took a

Staying healthy was part of the motivation behind the intense strengthand-conditioning program the Jayhawks underwent in the offseason.

“I would like to think there’s a direct correlation with that,” Weis said. “But some of the injuries that occur are just bad luck.”

Communication breakdown Following the first start of his KU career, Crist shouldered a lot of the blame for KU’s passing woes. Making his first start in nearly a year, Crist was rusty, completing 17 of 36 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown.

While some of the incompletions were on Crist, others were the fault of his receivers. Weis said both groups were able to address the issue during film Sunday.

“You can definitely see it,” he said. “When you watch a guy run an in cut and the quarterback’s waiting for (him) to come out of the break instead of just letting it go ... there’s gotta be a point where you just trust that the guy’s gonna be at the right depth and in the right spot.”

free kick from 30 yards out and found the top corner of the KU net, forcing the Jayhawks to play from behind for the first time in two weeks.

The Sun Devils were forced to play a person short after Schedel was given a red card following a hard foul on KU senior forward Nicole Chrisopulos. A 10-yard shot in the final minutes from Williams was snagged by Sun Devil goalkeeper Chandler Morris, keeping the game deadlocked.

Kansas will host Missouri State at 5 p.m. Friday.

Rangers 8, Indians 3 CLEVELAND — Jurickson Profar made quite a debut at age 19, homering in his first major-league at-bat and doubling his next time up as Texas beat Cleveland on Sunday.

Profar opened the third inning with a drive over the right-field wall, connecting on a 2-1 pitch from Zach McAllister (5-6). The teen finished 2 for 4 as a late substitute after second baseman Ian Kinsler was scratched due to a stiff back.

Tigers 4, White Sox 2 DETROIT — Justin Verlander shut down Chicago after the first inning, and Delmon Young hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the sixth to lift the Tigers to a share of first place in the AL Central.

Alejandro De Aza hit Verlander’s second pitch of the night over the wall in right field, but the Detroit ace was outstanding after that. Verlander (13-7) allowed four hits in eight innings, striking out 11 with two walks.

The Tigers swept the threegame series.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (AP) — Louisville coach Charlie Strong had concerns about how his team would start the season, despite a No. 25 ranking and the top spot in the preseason Big East picks.

If the opener Sunday against Kentucky was any indication, Strong had nothing to worry about.

Starting the game on the 1 turned out to be no trouble for the Cardinals, who SUMMARY simply drove the length of SMU 0 3 7 14—24 the field for a touchdown Baylor 14 10 21 14—59 that set the tone for a 32-14 First Quarter Bay-Sampson 6 pass from Florence victory.

BAYLOR QUARTERBACK NICK FLORENCE LOOKS FOR A RECEIVER in the Bears’ 59-24 victory over SMU on Sunday in Waco, Texas.

Florence leads Bears past SMU WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Robert Griffin III sent an encouraging text message to his college successor.

Nick Florence then went out and did his best impression of Baylor’s departed Heisman Trophy winner.

Florence threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns, Mike Hicks returned a fumble for a score and Baylor beat SMU, 5924, on Sunday night in the opener for both teams.

“He just told me to be myself,” Florence said. “I learned a lot from (Griffin).

He’s done a lot for our program. Just because he leaves, doesn’t mean anything different happens here.”

For at least one game, Baylor’s offense didn’t miss a beat with Florence in charge.

Florence last started as a freshman in 2009 when he replaced an injured Griffin for several games.

The senior was 21 of 30 and guided Baylor to 613 yards of offense Sunday. The Bears scored at least 45 points for the fifth straight game.

“I couldn’t ask for a better situation to step into,” said Florence, who didn’t play in the fourth quarter.

“The guys have a lot of confidence and there a lot of playmakers out here.”

Florence threw firsthalf touchdown passes to Lanear Sampson, Jordan Najvar and Tevin Reese, and hooked up with Sampson on a 36-yard scoring pass that put the Bears on top 45-3 in the third before

No. 4 Oklahoma has plenty to shore up EL PASO, TEXAS (AP) — While the rest of the Big 12’s title contenders rolled to impressive victories, No. 4 Oklahoma clearly has a few things to tighten up after scraping past a supposedly overmatched opponent.

The offensive line still needs some work after all that shuffling before the season. Quarterback Landry Jones hasn’t quite meshed with his new receivers. The defense could be better against the run and the special teams might want to work on blocking a little better.

The Sooners managed to pull out a 24-7 win over scrappy Texas-El Paso at the Sun Bowl late Saturday night, but needed a strong effort from their defense and a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to do it.

It wasn’t exactly what they had in mind, particularly after Oklahoma State scored 84 points, West Virginia dropped 69 and Kansas State had 51 in their easily-won openers.

“It wasn’t pretty, we know that, but it’s a ‘W,’” Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “A lot of things we can go back and work on. It’s not big-picture things. There are a lot of fine detail things we have to continue to iron out.”

Oklahoma entered the season with big expectations and Saturday’s game as a 30-point favorite.

The Sooners didn’t seem to be a fit for either against the Miners.

Jones, considered a top candidate for the Heisman Trophy, didn’t seem to be in sync for good chunks of the night, misfiring or miscommunicating with receivers several times or not seeing them at all.

He did hit Kenny Stills for a 68-yard touchdown in the first quarter and found backup tight end Brannon Green for an 18-yard pass for the go-ahead score in the fourth.

Dear Annie: My daughter, “Grace,” is 48 years old and recently divorced from her husband after 23 years of marriage. They have no children. My wife and I liked her husband, but he never wanted to work for anyone. He always thought he could run his own business and could never manage it. After they’d been married 10 years, we told Grace that she should get some counseling or get a divorce.

A few years ago, Grace met some jerk online who thinks he’s God’s gift to the world.

“Barry” is divorced and has three daughters.

We didn’t know about him until we helped Grace get settled into a nice apartment. That’s when Barry moved in.

He’s been there for two years and doesn’t have a job, nor is he looking for one. He is on disability benefits and says it’s not

costing Grace anything to house him. Barry has insulted my wife and me and says we don’t love our daughter. None of our family members wants to be around him, which makes holidays tough.

When she was married, Grace used to spend most weekends outdoors with her husband. Now all she does is sit around in pool halls so Barry can shoot pool. He is so heavy, he can barely walk. Grace doesn’t like to be alone, and this is the only rea-

Miniseries slips into ‘Coma’

A&E takes a page from television’s past with “Coma” (8 p.m., concludes Tuesday), an all-star, two-night miniseries.

Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”) stars as Susan Wheeler, a spunky medical student descended from the founders of the posh hospital where she trains.

Her connections grant her some immunity as she moonlights as Nancy Drew almost from the second she dons her scrubs. Something — or is it someone — is sending an inordinate number of patients into comas. And those coma victims are being shuttled to the mysterious Jefferson Institute, where their families can visit them in a tranquil setting that’s more akin to a funeral home than a care facility.

Susan battles with, and subsequently falls for, brooding surgical resident Dr. Mark Bellows (Steven Pasquale), who has trouble adjusting to her conspiracy theories. He’s also sleeping with the icy Dr. Agnetta Lindquist (Geena Davis), who uses her skills as a psychiatrist to crush all who cross her. Susan receives mentoring of sorts from professor Hillside (Richard Dreyfuss) and the hospital’s chief of staff (James Woods). But nobody is aware of what could be happening at the creepy Jefferson Institute — run by the scary, yet confusing, Mrs. Emerson (Ellen Burstyn), a woman who can’t seem to decide whether she’s the CEO or a receptionist.

A medical soap opera stuffed with mystery and a little sex, “Coma” is utterly preposterous.

Although it’s entertaining, or at least diverting, to see all these famous actors playing doctors on TV, “Coma” essentially reminds us how dated and obvious miniseries can be, even in the best hands.

Tonight’s other highlights

U.S. Open tennis (6 p.m., ESPN2).

The widely despised series “Stars Earn Stripes” (7 p.m., NBC) limps to its contrived conclusion.

Bay returns, boyfriend in tow, on “Switched at Birth” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

The unit has to tag-team with the FBI on “Major Crimes” (8 p.m., TNT).

Nick uncovers a fast-spreading plague on “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC).

A murder forces Pierce to face up to his inability to connect with students on “Perception” (9 p.m., TNT).

Rare among television series, “Get to Work” (9 p.m., Sundance) acknowledges the large number of unemployed people in our midst. On Labor Day, no less.

BIRTHDAYS

“Beetle Bailey” cartoonist Mort Walker is 89. Actress Eileen Brennan is 80. Country singer Tompall Glaser is 79. Rock singermusician Al Jardine is 70. Actress Valerie Perrine is 69. Actor Steve Schirripa is 55. Actor Charlie Sheen is 47. Olympic gold medal snowboarder Shaun White is 26.

son we can see that she keeps Barry around. We sought information on him online, but couldn’t find anything. He said he would know if anyone tried to look him up on the Internet. This seems vaguely threatening. How can we talk to her about this without upsetting her too much?

— Loving Dad Dear Dad: We understand your concern, but you seem overly involved in your grown daughter’s love life, which may be contributing to the drama. She knows you are there to clean up after her, so she has not learned to exercise good judgment or deal with the consequences of her choices.

Tell her you love her and only want the best.

Suggest she get counseling to understand why she is attracted to this type of man. Then let her live her life without your cushion. These are

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Sept. 3: This year you will develop a key relationship, if you do not have one already. This bond could be professional or personal. If you are single, you will long for more. If you are attached, the two of you become much closer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have a lot of enthusiasm. You speak your mind clearly and adroitly, and others listen.

Tonight: Flip the burger.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Cut back if you can. Count on being less dominant than usual.

Tonight: Just be you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Join friends for a Labor Day get-together. You still have time to catch up on news from someone you rarely see. Tonight: Go for the last hurrah!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Take charge and help someone who is carrying quite a burden. Your instincts serve you well with an older friend or relative.

Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Take off if you can, just for the day. You could enjoy going to a Labor Day celebration out of town and visiting some friends you don’t see often. Tonight: Follow the music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Though there are many celebrations and parties going on, you most enjoy being with one special partner. You might start out having a very lively discussion, but everything will end well. Tonight: Chat with a dear friend.

her decisions, and the results are her responsibility.

Dear Annie: My two daughters think nothing of letting their oppositesex children run around naked, alone or with a group of family members. These two cousins also bathe and use the bathroom together. The boy is 8, and the girl is 7.

Is this acceptable behavior, or should they be told to keep their clothes on? — Perplexed Grandma Dear Grandma: These kids are a little too old to be running around naked in public and sharing baths. Suggest to your daughters that they teach the children about respecting their bodies before one of them hits puberty.

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

jacquelinebigar.com

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others come forward before you have a chance to say or do anything. This popularity could be overwhelming yet delightful.

Tonight: Allow someone else to run the show.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Whether you’re the one in charge of flipping burgers or you’re just filling in for someone, you will be busy. That kind of activity does not necessarily mean you won’t have fun. Tonight: Enjoy yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You plunge right into the happenings around you. Going from one to another, you could be pushed to maintain an even balance.

Tonight: You could go into the wee hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A very assertive friend could push your buttons. You might want to stay close to home. Invite a few friends over, and request that each person bring a favorite dessert.

Tonight: Let everything unwind at its own pace.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be drawn to a very different type of holiday celebration. Someone you admire might be pushing you. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You could be overtired, but when you think of this person, you’ll become revitalized. Tonight: Treat yourself as well.

For mobility-impaired, Lawrence boasts options to get out in nature

G

oing for a walk in the woods or a bicycle ride in the countryside — reconnecting with the natural world — is a pleasure many of us take for granted.

Not Dot Nary, a research associate at Kansas University’s Research and Training Center on Independent Living, who has spent much of her life using a wheelchair.

Like many people who have mobilityrelated disabilities, Nary relishes any time she can spend outside, which she says is essential to everyone’s well-being.

“Individuals with mobility limitations want to stroll through the heart of the forest, not on a sidewalk along the edge of the wood; they want to experience the beach, not view it from far off, or see wildflowers on a prairie, rather than in a book,” Nary said. “With the passage of the ADA, advancements in technology, and organizations such as the National Center on Accessibility and the National Center on Physical Activity and Disability, outdoor recreation as a fitness alternative is becoming more accessible.”

In many areas, though, natural settings still aren’t accessible to people with disabilities because creating a trail while maintaining an area’s natural integrity can be a challenge.

That’s why she has so enjoyed local places like the Baker Wetlands boardwalk, where there are widened areas right in the heart of the natural area to watch wildlife

Go GREEN KELLY BARTH that easily accommodate wheelchairs.

“The wetlands are just an amazing place of meditation, contemplation and peace.

You can escape the hectic pace and noise of the city and revitalize yourself.”

Not only does the outdoors provide solace and reconnection, but also an essential place to exercise. Nary says a lot more people than we realize have difficulty accessing outdoor exercise. The variety of people include older people, returning vets with disabilities or people with chronic illnesses like diabetes.

“It isn’t just one segment of society,” says Nary, “but a large group of people who live with some sort of mobility dis-

ability. As a society, we’re getting better at treating people’s conditions, but we’re not as good at helping them deal with some sort of disability.”

In addition to the wetlands, Nary says she’s found great local outdoor opportunities to get moving.

The Rotary Arboretum has nice flat trails with excellent visibility. Also, at Lone Star Lake, near one of the boat ramps, there is an accessible parking place and dock, where she and her husband can easily unload their kayaks. The new Burroughs Creek Trail and South Lawrence Trafficway hike and bike trail near Clinton Lake and the paved trail at Prairie Park Nature Center are other good places.

Though some opportunities already exist, Nary thinks a little creativity can open up many more options.

For example, in some cities, she says, people can rent or borrow equipment like hand cycles. People with disabilities often don’t get to experiment with new activities like bicycling because they need specialized equipment that is really expensive.

“As a community, we really need to look at this population because it’s also one that typically uses lots of health care services. Keeping everyone moving is in a community’s best interest. We don’t need to be asking whether people can be active but how we can help them be active.”

Shedding light on choosing the right light bulb FAMILY FEATURES

T

he way you light your home is changing, starting with how you shop for light bulbs. Use these tips to pick the perfect bulb for your home:

Determine what lighting attributes are important to you, whether it’s long life, instant-on, dimming capabilities, bulb shape or luminosity.

The back of every new light bulb package now includes a “Lighting Facts” label that provides information

about lumens (brightness), energy cost, life expectancy, light appearance (warm versus cool light), wattage and mercury content. Mandated by the Federal Trade Commission, the label is meant to standardize how companies in the lighting industry convey light bulb features, helping you to quickly make comparisons between bulbs and bulb technologies.

Some light bulb packaging is placing more emphasis from classifications by watts instead classifications by lumens. Watts are the measure of electrical energy used to

light a bulb. A lumen is a measure of the bulb’s brightness.

The higher the lumen number, the brighter the bulb.

Some manufacturers are going one step further in helping consumers decipher differences in bulbs by changing their packaging. For example, GE Lighting has implemented a color-coding system to help you better understand the light that will be emitted from each bulb. Yellow boxes represent bulbs with strong, vibrant light ideal for home cooking, cleaning and grooming, while purple boxes represent subtle and reassuring light for use at night.

A CAREER BREWING AT FREE STATE

BY ADAM STRUNK

THE PROCESS: BREWING BEER

S

ociable. Beautiful. Wonderful.

Bright.

Tommy Kelley’s face lights up as he says these words. He’s clearly a man in love — with beer.

Some people may spend all day drinking beer. Kelley spends all day brewing it for Free State Brewing Company, 636 Mass.

“How many people get to wake up and say they enjoy going to work every day and look forward to it?” he said.

Kelley’s hands have likely been on each beer that foams from the brewery’s bronze taps.

That will be about 4,800 kegs this year.

“I’m responsible for making beer, filtering beer, basically anything to do with beer we’re — Tommy all about,” he said. also gets Kelley to Kelley do plenty of product sampling. He actually gets paid to drink beer at work. This gig might sound like a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Beer Factory, but it also involves barrels of elbow grease.

“Our job is 85 percent cleaning,” he said. “Beer janitors is what we are.”

Kelley constantly cleans tanks, lines and machinery, often with steaming hot water and caustic chemicals. Throw in thousands of gallons of beer at high pressure, and the process becomes a bit dangerous.

“You can get hurt if you’re not careful and don’t know what you’re doing,” Kelley said.

Making commercial beer’s not just dangerous but fairly complicated, and it takes years of training and often a microbiology degree. Kelley majored in finance.

“It’s not your normal brewer’s story, to be sure,” he said.

Kelley had always loved beer — from drinking Miller products with his “redneck uncles” on hunting trips, to falling in love with craft beer after his first Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. So working at Free State Brewery in col-

Beer janitors is what we are.”

Tommy Kelley agreed to distill how he produces beer into an easy-to-understand process.

TOMMY KELLEY, A BREWER at Free State Brewery, 636 Mass., takes pride and care as he checks the sugar level on a new batch of beer called Owd Mac’s.

Q AND A WITH TOMMY KELLEY Q: Any common denominator to Free State Beers?

A: We happen to be hop heads down here. We really, really like our hops, but we make something for everybody.

Q: What is your favorite beer?

A: Hands down the Copperhead (Pale Ale). Like I said, I am a very hoppy beer drinker. Ultimately, if you can get me a great IPA (India Pale Ale), that’s where I am going to be happy and content.

Q: What is a good beginner beer?

lege seemed like a natural choice. Kelley began as a bus boy, became a waiter and then a bartender. After graduating college, “the economy stunk,” so he took a year off, became friends with some other brewers at the company and began going to beer festivals.

And then he got the phone call to be a brewer two years ago.

with hot water. The combination soaks, making mash. The water releases sugars and starches in the grains that later will create alcohol.

O The liquid from the mash,

known as wort, is drained and boiled for an hour and a half.

During this time, hops are added.

A: Ad Astra. It’s a little more approachable for a beer novice.

mentation tanks. The time it takes for the beer to ferment depends on what kind it is. For an ale, it takes 10 to 14 days to finish fermentation. For a lager, it takes about 21 days.

A: I kind of get annoyed when people come in and ask for a Budweiser or Miller product, but I say, “If you like that, well why don’t you try this?” I try to be their guide in directing them to better beer.

“It took me two hours to think about it and I took him up on it. I would have never gotten as cool an opportunity as this one,” he said.

What Kelley lacked in experience and training he made up for in passion and motivation. Beer-making isn’t just a job to Kelley, it’s an art to be perfected.

“I always say anyone can brew beer,” he said. “Not very many can brew great beer.”

To brew great beer, Kelley and the oth-

er brewers start with the obvious.

“We drink a lot of beer,” he said.

After he or the two other brewers find a style they like, they hone in on its attributes. And if all is successful, a month or so later Free State has a new beer to serve.

“It’s really rewarding, especially when a newer beer comes out and you get to pour a guy a fresh pint and see his eyes light up,” he said.

Musical murder mystery Local author draws on real-life chorus for inspiration

BY MARGIE CARR

T

he Dead Sing No More.

It’s the perfect beginning to the recently published “Murder a Cappella” (Wayside Press, 2012), co-written by local author Diane Bailey.

The book opens with a bang — or rather, two bangs: The deaths of two singers from an all-women’s chorus during an international competition in San Antonio, Texas.

The protagonist is police officer Tina Overton. She is in the audience at the time of the shootings and volunteers her services to a friend on the police department.

As with any good mystery, the reader is treated to colorful characters, an intricate story line and a slew of possible suspects, each with his own motive for murder.

The book is a departure for Bailey, who has written more than two dozen children’s books, most of which are nonfiction.

“Nonfiction is my bread and butter — or more like crusts and ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!’” she jokes.

The book is also different because she wrote it with her stepfather, James Callan of east Texas, who had wanted to write a mystery with her for years.

“We actually wrote a book in the early ’90s,” says Bailey, “but it didn’t go anywhere.”

The idea for writing another mystery together didn’t go anywhere, either, as the two went about their lives. In addition to working on their individual writing, Callan kept busy with various writing groups, and Bailey kept busy by joining the real Sweet Adelines, an organization of allwomen’s a capella choruses and barbershop quartets.

“The initial idea (for ‘Murder a Cappella’) came about right after an international competition in which Diane’s chorus took fifth,” says Callan, who was in the audience in San Antonio.

“I’m always very careful to say that the Sweet Adelines are really nice people. That murder part? It’s made up!”

— author Diane Bailey Sound familiar?

“On the drive back to our home in Texas, Diane and I discussed the idea of the excitement and glitz of an international competition,” he says.

“I’m always very careful to say that the Sweet Adelines are really nice people,” says Bailey. “That murder part?

It’s made up!”

But the competition did “provide enough experiences to spark the original idea for ‘Murder a Cappella,’” she says.

Although it took a few years before any writing started, once it did, it was truly a collaborative effort with Bailey providing “the color” and Callan writing a lot of the action sequences.

“Sometimes he would take one scene or chapter and I would take the next,” says Bailey. “And sometimes we were both together, and I’d be sitting at the computer and he would be right next to me as we discussed what I was going to type.”

“It’s a complicated plot, and there was a lot of outlining and planning,” she adds. “There were times when we had to work it out down to the hour so we could figure out when she learned what she did.”

Both authors learned a great deal during their collaboration, about writing and otherwise. Bailey discovered that she enjoys both fiction and nonfiction writing.

“I still dig the whole finding out about a topic and researching it,” she says, adding that fiction can be frustrating sometimes. “When I write nonfiction, I have a goal and I know what to do. I’m not sitting at the computer tearing my hair out because I don’t know what comes next.

“On the other hand, with fiction there is no fact-checking, and I don’t worry that I’m missing something. It’s my world that I create.”

Callan learned that writing collaboratively can be a dicey proposition. “I would caution anyone contemplating collaborating with a family member to think about it carefully. When two writers get together, there can be massive differences of opinion, and it could cause trouble,” he says. “I would think about it carefully and decide if the relationship could stand a good shaking.”

That said, Callan says that he and his daughter got along better than one could hope for. While they had a few artistic differences during the writing, they “worked them out without any difficulty,” he says. “I think our relationship actually strengthened during the writing of ‘Murder a Cappella.’”

Campbell channels Andy Warhol for new cans CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — Campbell Soup is tapping Andy Warhol for another 15 minutes of fame.

The world’s biggest soup maker plans to introduce special-edition cans of its condensed tomato soup bearing labels reminiscent of the pop artist’s paintings

at Target stores starting this week. The 1.2 million cans will cost 75 cents each.

The Campbell Soup Co.’s embrace of Warhol’s iconic imagery is a switch from its initial reaction, when the company considered taking legal action before deciding to see how the paintings were

received by the public.

“There’s some evidence to show there was a little bit of concern,” said Jonathon Thorn, an archivist for Campbell Soup.

“But they decided to take a wait-and-see approach.”

Fundraiser puts medical professionals on the catwalk

BY ALI EDWARDS

O

n Thursday, Lawrence doctors will be doing their rounds in a bit of a different way.

Medical professionals from around Douglas County will be strutting down the runway at Van Go Inc. to benefit nonprofit organizations Health Care Access and Van Go in the seventh annual Douglas County Medical Alliance Fashion Benefit.

While the terms “fashion” and “health care” don’t usually coincide, for one night, those who wear scrubs and tennis shoes as a daily uniform will reinvent themselves through the stylings of 13 downtown stores including Spectators, Weavers, FoxTrot and Nomads, among others. The event will also feature cocktails, shopping available from seven on-site vendors and a drawing for a chance to win prizes.

“It’s a three-way win for Lawrence.

The medical community gets together to support the uninsured through Health Care Access, mental health and the arts through Van Go and the local economy through downtown Lawrence,” said Barb Heeb, one of the organizers of this year’s benefit.

The event began in 2006 as a unique way to bring the community together, to support local shops and to support Van Go. Ginger and MaryAnn’s, a now-closed clothing store, hosted the show for two years before it hopped to Eccentricity, then Signs of Life. Finally, it landed, for the past three years, at Van Go, 715 N.J. The show has expanded to benefit Health Care Access as well as Van Go and has increased its participating vendors from one to 24.

Julie Dunlap, a founding organizer of

the fashion benefit, says DCMA hopes to raise $4,000 at this year’s event, and she’s excited to see even more participation from the medical community.

“We’ve got pediatricians, urologists, radiologists, dentists, internal medicine doctors and plenty of others joining in this year,” she said.

Heeb, whose husband is a physician and will be modeling in the show for the second year in a row, says her husband may provide some laughs for the audience.

“He decided to watch some YouTube videos and come up with a signature move,” she said.

Last year, his walk down the runway included ripping off his button-up shirt (to reveal another shirt underneath) and pulling his cellphone out of his pocket to mime getting a call from the hospital.

Eliza Nichols, marketing director of Van Go, says the show brings a unique set of — Barb Heeb partners together that not only makes it a great event to benefit the organization but also to host in the Van Go space.

“We love to see community members having fun for a good cause. The organization and creative collaboration among the local vendors, models, guests and committee members brings success to the event.”

Van Go plans to use its portion of the proceeds for their job-training programs for high-needs Lawrence teens. Health Care Access will use its portion to support the general operation of their organization, which serves low-income, uninsured members of Douglas County.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at the door or online at dcmaks.org. Ticket holders also receive a 20 percent discount at 24 participating stores and restaurants Thursday through Sunday.

“Now it’s your turn, mom!”

Pornography warps perspective of sex Dr. Wes: In July, I posted an article on Facebook (Facebook.com/FamilyPsychologicalServices) in which Keir Starmer, the top British prosecutor, suggests that teenage relationships are now more violent due to the prevalence of Internet pornography.

He cites research showing “that exploitation and violence in teenage relationships are more common than previously thought” and that “physical, sexual and emotional abuse was common among 13- to 18-yearolds who were not in mainstream education.” He then recommends an automatic block on pornography requiring an active override by an adult user as the default setting for Internet service providers.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Unfortunately, despite their claim, Starmer and the Daily Mail failed to cite any research connection dating violence and pornography use, and I’ve never run into one clinically.

Instead, they cite “teenage girls … complaining that their partners were becoming increasingly rough or violent,” without any correlation or causation to anything.

Their ultimate conclusion is, however, one we’ve noted in Double Take for many years — pornography skews a teen’s “perceptions of what a normal, healthy sexual relationship is.”

I share Mr. Starmer’s concerns about children’s unlimited access to explicit material that offers an unrealistic and, at times, bizarre interpretation of sex and relationships at a very vulnerable age.

In fact, free online porn is a principal method by which modern teen boys learn about sex. I know this because teen girls tell me, and let’s just say they have it on good authority.

Asked where they get their info from, most girls cite Cosmopolitan, websites and friends. Better, but not by much. Regrettably, parents are rarely cited, despite our many attempts in this column over the

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT years to improve that conversation.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for governmental limits on Internet access.

So parents must heed our long-standing advice to set online filters to reduce the explicit material their teens see.

I say reduce because I am, as always, a pragmatist. Kids will find a way around any barrier we create to protect them. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep putting them there. Apart from effectiveness, those boundaries carry an important message about what parents do and don’t approve of.

Katie: The first time I saw someone holding a porn magazine, I was riding a school bus in sixth grade. Some boys in the back had managed to get their childsized hands on a copy of Playboy, which they tossed from seat to seat whenever the driver wasn’t looking.

I was a little shocked, a little confused and more than a little embarrassed, but it took a few years for the ire to kick in.

Like other teenage girls today, I’m looking to build my life on equal status with men. There’s a shameful disconnect

between the respect we expect from our male counterparts and the obscene videos we know many of them — and, no doubt, some of us — are ogling on the Internet.

That said, it’s impossible to pile the blame for teen dating violence on easy access to pornography. Pornography degrades and demoralizes both genders, but the Daily Mail’s proposed “automatic block on porn,” while perhaps a step forward for youths’ moral development, won’t make violent relationships disappear.

There’s no mathematical equation — or in this case, solid evidence — to explain the rise in dating violence. Any number of factors could contribute, and no single one will function completely alone. Probably more influential than the fantasy of pornography are the real-life examples kids see at home, at school, and anywhere in between.

Unless parents convert their homes into padded prisons with Orwellian-style surveillance, they can’t shield teens from every instance of obscene content that comes their way, with or without automatic Internet blocks. However, signs of potentially unhealthy relationships can sometimes be decoded, and that’s where parents can come to the rescue.

Talk openly with your kids about sex, love and respect for romantic partners long before less-reliable sources start the conversation for you.

No one can promise a foolproof (or puberty-proof) way to prevent dating violence, but filtering point-and-click porn from educating sixth-graders about the birds and the bees may be a good place to start.

R

emember wine coolers? Turns out they’re not actually all that cool these days.

But don’t put that cork back in the bottle just yet. Why not mix up a few wine cocktails, which — unlike their commercial predecessors — are quite sophisticated and of-the-moment.

“Wine-based cocktails are something that I think have really taken off,” says Amy Currens, wine director at Prospect, a restaurant serving contemporary American cuisine in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood.

Wine cocktails are a year-round drink, but they’re especially good for summer, adding a fun touch to backyard barbecues and pairing well with grilled meats thanks to their grape underpinnings.

One of the cocktails served at Prospect, named appropriately enough the Prospector, consists of blended scotch, Benedictine, bitters and Madeira, the fortified wine from Portugal. “Those red fruits that come out through the Madeira would complement roasted meat,” says Currens. “I can see a good brat and a Prospector.”

A classic wine cocktail is the Americano, which is part vermouth and part Campari, a liqueur. Another standby is the Bellini, a mix of sparkling wine, usually Italian prosecco, and peach puree. And in general, sparkling wine is an easy way to incorporate wine into a cocktail, providing fizz and a boost of flavor.

At the Bluestem Brasserie in San Francisco, the Violet Femme cocktail uses red seedless grapes, absinthe, cabernet sauvignon, sparkling wine, simple syrup and bitters. And the Briar Patch celebrates the season with macerated summer fruit, gin, lime and sparkling wine.

Port and sherry make good additions to a cocktail, as does moscato, which is often fruity and little fizzy. Sonoma Countybased Redtree Wine has come up with some cocktail recipes for its Redtree moscato wine including Bumble & Bubbles, made of 3 ounces of prosecco, 1 ounce moscato, and two dashes of orange bitters.

It’s probably not surprising that wine has popped up as a cocktail ingredient given the trend of inventive drinks recipes

The advantage of wine as an ingredient “really boils down to two main things,” says Bluestem Brasserie owner Adam Jed. “First of all, wine adds a really unique flavor profile to cocktails. The other is that wine, especially sparkling wine or Champagne, adds an inherent lightness that soda water, syrups and other ingredients do not.

It’s that unique texture that really makes wine cocktails stand out from the crowd.”

FITNESS TREND: BOXING

BY SARA SHEPHERD

N

ot long after successfully dropping close to 50 pounds, Shelly Sheets heard a friend was taking boxing classes in Lawrence.

The 33-year-old Pomona resident decided to try it herself and was addicted after the first class. She comes to Lawrence to box four or five times a week, and none of those 50 pounds has been back since.

“This has been amazing to help me stay in shape,” Sheets said.

Sheets isn’t the only person addicted to the high-energy, full-body workout. With two gyms opening within the past 10 months, the boxing-for-fitness trend has arrived in Lawrence in force.

“There’s always that interest for people to try something new and different,” said Brad Goetsch, who owns Punch Boxing and Fitness, 4931 W. Sixth St. “It’s easy to get hooked on doing these types of classes.”

To be clear, this is boxing for fitness, and the only sparring is between you and the heavy bag.

If there’s a ripped-up, cauliflower-eared, cage-fighter type wandering around the class, he’s not going to punch your lights out. Most likely he’s an instructor, and he’ll probably bark out exercises and correct your form but won’t scream insults if you falter or make you run until you throw up.

“That’s not what it’s about at all. It’s a very uplifting and encouraging workout,” said Jim Thomas, who owns Lawrence’s Title Boxing Club, 1520 Wakarusa Drive.

“We have people puke, and that’s fine. If they want to go that hard in their workout, that’s up to them.”

Participants get out of the class what they put into it, Thomas said, adding that everyone can go at his or her own intensity level.

Jogging, crunches and stretches came before and after class, or between sets.

On top of working limbs, lungs and heart, boxing also works the body’s core strength. With the correct form, that’s where a lot of the power behind a punch or kick originates.

Core work makes boxing a particularly good crosstraining option, Thomas said, even for endurance athletes, such as runners.

“If you don’t have a strong core … you’re losing efficiency,” he said. “You’ve got to have a strong frame.”

The exhilaration factor is one of boxing’s most addicting characteristics, said Goetsch, who likened the rush after his first boxing class to what he felt after intense workouts as a college wrestler.

“You’ve done everything you can, you’ve pushed yourself as hard as you can,” Goetsch said, “and then you get that sense of accomplishment.”

in their mid-20s to mid-40s.

Title Boxing Clubs describes itself as the fastest-growing fitness concept franchise in the country. Since the first club opened in 2008 in Overland Park, clubs have spread to at least 12 other states with hundreds more franchises sold, Thomas said.

Thomas opened the Lawrence location in November and offers strictly boxing and kickboxing classes from morning to night, seven days a week.

Goetsch opened the first Punch Boxing and Fitness in Shawnee in 2009 and moved it to a larger Shawnee location, 5421 Martindale Road, in April. He opened Punch in Lawrence in January.

Punch aims for a holistic, family-oriented approach. In addition to boxing and kickboxing, the club offers yoga, interval and other fitness classes. There

are also youth and family boxing classes.

Both clubs have loaner gloves, but they also sell new gloves on site for people who want their own (which is most people).

A lot of people are drawn to boxing because they enjoy the club atmosphere — having a trainer and being in a group, said Phillip Vardiman, an athletic trainer and assistant professor of Health, Sport and Exercise Science at Kansas University.

Vardiman said finding a workout you enjoy is important for meeting fitness goals.

“If exercise is fun,” he said, “then you’re probably more likely to do it.”

BEFORE YOU GO As in any new workout, exercising a couple of simple precautions can help you avoid injury.

Phillip Vardiman, an athletic trainer and assistant professor of Health, Sport and Exercise Science at Kansas University, offered these tips for folks who want to give boxing a whirl.

First, there’s nothing wrong with easing into the workout to build up strength.

That goes for participants who aren’t in good shape and participants who are in shape but new to boxing.

“You may be an avid runner or an avid cyclist, and you could have a good cardiovascular fitness base, but when you’re exercising in a different way, you’re not going to have the muscle coordination,” Vardiman said.

“You’re going to use muscles you haven’t used in a long time.”

Second, take advantage of an expert’s knowledge.

Let instructors help you with your form and, if needed, ask them to suggest exercise modifications that accommodate your physical limitations.

CRAIG EDDIS PARTICIPATES in a boxing fitness class at Punch Boxing, 4931 W. Sixth St., on Aug. 23. Eddis credits the class with helping him lose more than 20 pounds.

“They’re going to try to push you, but they’re going to know when they should back off a little bit and let you go at your own pace,” Vardiman said. “That’s going to prevent a lot of the major injuries.”

Behaviors for managing anxiety M

ichael Brown points out in his book “The Presence Process” that you can rearrange the letters in the word “anxiety” and create the words “any exit.”

That is a good representation of how someone with severe anxiety often feels — trapped in his/her body or situation.

Anxiety is typically viewed as a fearbased experience. Someone struggling with anxiety would probably support that view.

Anxiety is a normal response to perceived threats in the environment and can be useful in helping an individual monitor the environment and his/her response to it.

The initial feeling of anxiety is a helpful warning mechanism to assist in managing a situation in a healthy manner before it gets out of hand. An example of this is when a parent feels anxiety related to a potentially harmful situation for a child.

Helping the child avoid a dangerous situation is a healthy response to anxiety.

Our life experiences in concert with our genetics accumulate as stuck emotional energy that can be triggered by stress in our environment. When anxiety is accompanied by excessive underlying emotion, it can quickly become unmanageable, and the individual moves from being responsive to being reactive.

These reactive states can often make a situation worse. An anxiety disorder oc-

Mind

MATTERS

JENA AND ED BLOCH curs when these reactive states become chronic and/or severe.

There are several means to help assist with anxiety problems. It is widely recognized that exercise, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and getting plenty of sleep can help reduce anxiety.

There are medications that are useful in treating moderate to severe anxiety.

Supplements such as valerian root and GABA may be helpful. Before taking supplements for anxiety, please consult with a physician.

Interventions utilizing technological advances, such as brainwave optimization, are helping many individuals.

There are several behavioral techniques that can be very helpful.

Mindfulness meditation: Spotify.com and YouTube.com offer free downloads of guided meditations.

You can try to set aside times each day to focus on those things that worry you. An example of this is to journal for 30 minutes a day on worries (you can break these sessions up into morning and night if you like). Then instruct yourself to ignore these worries until your next journaling time. It may be helpful to incorporate breathing techniques that calm you during these sessions.

Because anxiety is triggered in part by fear of being out of control, try focusing on those things you can control.

Anxiety incorporates feelings of the past and fear of the future. Therefore staying in the present moment is helpful. You can wear a rubber band and snap it whenever you find yourself in a constant state of worrying.

Challenge yourself by asking, “What is the worst that can happen?” Typically those things that trigger anxiety are not anywhere near as serious as our reaction may suggest.

Distracting yourself is helpful to stay out of ruminating and over-focusing on anxiety-producing thoughts or situation.

However, distraction should not be confused with avoidance, which is not helpful in the long term. You must face your fear.

It is important to remind yourself that anxiety will not kill you. In fact, some people are able to use paradoxical intention to slow down or stop an anxiety attack: “If I’m going to have an anxiety attack, then I am going to have a really good one.” Trying to have an anxiety attack may actually, paradoxically, help you avoid one.

It is important to manage anxiety because it can have a dramatic effect on our ability to live our lives as we would want to. We may even act out in opposition to our values.

Fear-based anxiety can produce reactions in us that are virtually unconscious and potentially hurtful to ourselves or others. We may avoid situations that are important to us, such as social situations or an opportunity to talk to a key supervisor about a promotion.

Today’s world is more stressful than human kind has ever had to deal with, yet we have developed expectations of ourselves and others that we “should” be able to handle it.

The fact is we have yet to evolve to a place where modern stressors are “normal” to our body and mind. This evolutionary adjustment will take hundreds or thousands of years. Until then, we must stay conscious and do what we can to find a calm space inside.

Newer street looks making their way to ski slopes

BY CATHERINE TSAI, ASSOCIATED PRESS

D

ENVER — More street styles are making their way on to snow slopes, from longer lengths in women’s jackets to high-performance hoodies that could be worn while riding or skiing — or in the city later.

Makers of ski pants and jackets also are offering some styles this winter with flaunted opulence but also recycled materials in response to separate trends for outre designs and eco-elegance.

The over-the-top luxury is showing up in gold and fur accents, and exotic animal skin prints in offbeat colors, said Jeanine Pesce, trend analyst of the fashion forecasting firm

Stylesight. This coming winter, Obermeyer, for example, is offering slim puffy down coats in a python pattern, in either shiny blue or silver.

On the other end of the spectrum, designers are giving a nod to what Pesce calls an “anti-outerwear” movement. At early and late-season on-mountain events, skiers and snowboarders have been taking to the snow wearing sweatshirts, vests and flannel shirts, without coats.

Burton’s newest tech apparel collection includes pieces that would look at home on a city street but also work for the slopes.

The men’s collection has a waterproof softshell hoodie with fleece lining, performance denim jackets and pants designed with insulation and water-repellant materials, and

a technical, high-performance corduroy. For women, there’s a quick-drying tank top with an antimicrobial finish, aimed at keeping odor at bay, to wear as a layer under ski gear or later for an apres-ski happy hour.

“Anything goes ... if you can make it functional and lightweight,” said Burton spokeswoman Anne-Marie Dacyshyn.

On the sustainability front, Mountain Dew has partnered with Burton to produce apparel that incorporates recycled plastic bottles into not just T-shirts but also outerwear.

Mountain Dew’s involvement allows Burton to sell the garments for less than what it might otherwise cost, according to Burton.

Designers are still playing with volume and including patches of mismatched patterns on outerwear.

With fewer wedding bells ringing, marriage in America has evolved

BY ANITA CREAMER, MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

S

ACRAMENTO, CALIF. — She wore a brown floral dress for the ceremony.

He wore his U.S. Army uniform, and after all this time, he still worries that it looked too rumpled to pass muster.

When Flo Swanson married Herm Dorion at Fort Lewis, Wash., in July 1942, the future of the world was uncertain — but they were convinced their future meant building a life together. Seven decades later, it turns out they were right.

“We’ve had a wonderful life,” said Herm Dorion, 94, who like his wife is a musician and retired educator. The couple live at the Atria El Camino Gardens senior community in Carmichael, Calif.

“I wouldn’t have had another person,” said Flo Dorion, 92. “We’ve had ups and downs, but we’ve been in love the whole time.”

While the Dorions have had an extraordinarily long marriage, it’s not unusual these days for older couples to celebrate 40, 50 or 60 years together. But in the future, marriages of similar duration will likely be rare.

These days, wedding bells are not ringing — at least, not as often as they used to. As a result, marriage in America has evolved. But into what?

For the Dorions’ generation, marriage was a bedrock of stability, the foundation of family life.

“That was the most unusual generation of the 20th century,” said Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University. “They grew up in the Depression and the war. Afterward, the American economy was very strong. People were ready to turn toward home and family.

“The effect of growing up in hard times made them more likely to want a stable family life. That’s one reason we see so many long anniversaries now.”

In contrast, the demographic portrait

of marriage today shows the upending of tradition.

Only half of American adults are now married, a record low, compared with 78 percent in 1950. While the divorce rate has leveled off, the marriage rate continues to drop: In 2010, 6.8 people per 1,000 entered new marriages, U.S. Census data show, compared with 16.4 per 1,000 in 1946, at war’s end.

And couples today are waiting longer to marry. The national average age of people marrying for the first time is 26.5 for brides and 28.7 for grooms. Researchers suggest the average ages are even higher in urban areas.

Statistically speaking, marriage has become the province of the high-achieving: Two-thirds of adults with college degrees get married, compared with less than half of people with only high school diplomas, the Pew Research Center reported. And people without college degrees are more likely to divorce.

“The people who can get good jobs are marrying and staying together,” Cherlin said. “Those are the college-educated people. Marriage is reflecting the socioeconomic polarization in society.”

Take Julia Spiess and Toby Lewis. She’s 34, a vice president at Perry Communications, and he’s the 39-year-old editor of Valley Community Newspapers. Neither has been married before. Their wedding date is Sept. 22.

“I wanted to wait for the right person,” said Lewis, who lives with Spiess in Land Park. “I know that sounds like a cliche answer, but I only want to get married once.

I’m a traditional guy. I believe a marriage should be a lifetime commitment.”

Economic forces have always driven marriage trends. During the early Depression years, the marriage rate languished at 7.9 per 1000 — but after World War II, when jobs were plentiful, marriage boomed.

Style FOR THE AGES VAUGHN SCRIBNER

Observing the history of the Levi’s 501 is really like looking at the history of American fashion. This singular article of clothing has both defined and adjusted to our changing taste.

A LEVI’S 501 JEAN DISPLAY is seen at the flagship store in San Francisco in this Oct. 11, 2005, file photo.

Historical threads: Levi’s 501 A

s a graduate student in history and a fashion fiend, I’m a total sucker for classic clothing with a rich historical pedigree.

For me, it’s a great feeling to wear something that I know has changed little in its long history, simply because it doesn’t need to. I suppose the old adage “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” fits certain fashion classics perfectly.

Take jeans, for example. You can go out and buy denim in literally every color now. You can get them with enough thread and “bling” on the back pockets to set off a metal detector, and there are so many styles available that it’s hard to know where to even start.

With such a daunting array, I always recommend going back to the basics — in this case, Levi’s 501 blue jeans. A classic straight fit with no bells and whistles, you can never go wrong with these hard-earned champions of denim lore.

Denim’s use as a tough, working-grade fabric stretches back into 17th century France and England, but our story doesn’t start until Loeb “Levi” Strauss opened his dry goods store in San Francisco in 1853.

Strauss’ business was going well enough, but in 1872 everything changed when he received a letter from a Reno-based tailor named Jacob Davis.

Davis had made denim jeans more durable by using metal rivets at stress points and needed a business partner. Strauss quickly signed on and began manufacturing sturdy denim, metal-riveted “waist overalls” (the old

name for jeans) in 1873 — a big step above the generally shoddy offerings at the time. The classic 501 jean was born in 1890 when, upon losing his exclusive riveting patent, Strauss began marking his jeans with the distinguishing numbers “501.”

Although 501s captured the American imagination in the 1930s when Western movie stars like John Wayne wore them on the big screen, they were only available west of the Mississippi and were generally considered the outfits of the working classes.

Only after World War II did Levi’s go national (and eventually international) as the post-war production boom, combined with a vision of jeans as leisure wear, opened avenues on the East Coast.

Because subcultures like the “Greasers” adopted 501s as part of their official uniform in the 1950s, however, many viewed jeans as worn only by “juvenile delinquents.”

While those who rebelled continued to adopt 501s as standard style after the 1950s, so did the rest of society — the Levi’s 501 emerged as an American style icon in the 1950s.

While the Levi’s 501 didn’t assume its modern form until 1947, it continually changed thereafter to fit the times, losing thread during WWII, slimming down in the 1970s and 1980s, and loosening back up in the 1990s.

Observing the history of the Levi’s 501 is really like looking at the history of American fashion. This singular article of clothing has both defined and adjusted to our changing taste.

By now, Levi’s 501s reflect American fashion’s internationalization more than ever, with colors and fabrics to fit every lifestyle and the availability of iterations of classic 501s spanning back to 1890.

Yet 501s have never strayed from their heritage — the iconic red tab (patented in 1936), the “arcuate” stitching on the back pockets (patented in 1943), the straight fit and their standard, tough quality all remain intact. I guess some things are better left unchanged and will simply never go out of style.

Cutting-edge fashion trends

Introducing the NEW

HYDRATING BARE MINERALS

River City Jules

Ready SPF 20 Foundation Now available at Eccentricity!

I

n spite of the fact that I still own two dresses from the turn of the millennium and my firm belief that yoga pants complete any outfit, I once again will emcee the Douglas County Medical Alliance Fashion Benefit this Thursday at Van Go, 715 N.J. (Be sure to check out Ali Edwards’ story on page 5; this is a rockin’ fun event!)

While my teenage daughters are mortified by this, I am taking my role extremely seriously, studying terminology, praying to St. Versace and faithfully following “Project Runway: Season Dix” (that is 10 en français, the language of fashion). There is nothing more inspiring than taking a photo with Tim Gunn, even if the benevolent Mr. Gunn is unaware that he is in the photo snapped on the sly during his book tour on the Plaza last summer. A shot that, technically, we were both “in.”

After spending many hours researching fall fashion trends for 2012, delving deep into the (web) pages of Harper’s Bazaar, here is what I learned about high-end, cutting-edge fashion:

Prints are in. What kinds of prints, you ask? Think Grandma’s tapestry curtains and floral blouses. This combination might not appeal to most of us; however, when cut, rearranged and accessorized with a giant fur hat, you have what Harper’s has labeled “granny chic” (from the “Iron Lady” collection, a nod to fashionista Margaret Thatcher) and retails for the price of a family ski trip.

Next to hit the runway: a collection Harper’s dubbed “The White Stuff.” I still don’t know the difference between “winter white” and “don’t-wear-this-after-Labor-Day white,” but a number of designers do, and, according to those designers, that is all that matters. Outfits ranged from Snow Queen to

JULIE DUNLAP

Hannibal Lector’s straight jacket with prices starting at 12 in-state college credit hours.

The “Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing” collection surprised me. I had always assumed hunters only wore camouflage (so deer would not see them) and bright orange vests (so their fellow gun-slingers would not shoot them). But this collection featured neither, just a bunch of obviously meat-deprived women in what I assume are day-intoevening-into-duck-blind ensembles, though I do not know how these ladies plan to run through the woods in high-heeled boots.

At this point, a running theme among each of these collections began to emerge.

While, again, according to the designers, these models were dressed in clothes for which we should all go broke, every single woman on the runway looked miserable.

They looked bored, tired and, above all, famished. Not one of them looked like she had eaten solid food in years. And zero of them looked happy about it.

Fortunately, the DCMA Fashion Benefit features clothes people actually wear, modeled by people who, like you and me, have that certain je ne se quois … i.e., they know what a Twinkie tastes like.

I hope you can join us for a night of fabulous; yoga pants optional.

Maintaining a consistent level of moisture in the soil that abuts the foundation is the best defense against damage.

xcessive heat and dry weather can wreak havoc on a home’s foundation.

Lack of moisture causes soils to crack and shrink, leaving the foundation unevenly supported. As soil moisture levels change, foundations can shift and crack.

Foundation cracks themselves may not be a serious problem, but if the cracks are allowed to grow, forming gaps, and the home shifts inconsistently, the integrity of the structure can come into question.

Maintaining a consistent level of moisture in the soil that abuts the foundation is the best defense against damage. During extended periods of dryness, watering soils around the perimeter of the home will help reduce foundation movement.

Step 1: Inspect the soil around the home’s foundation. Cracked soil and gaps between the soil and the house are indicators that the soil is too dry and the foundation needs to be watered. Absence of these signs is a good indicator that watering can be kept to a minimum.

Step 2: Choose a method of watering that assures the soil receives an average of one inch of water each week. Manual watering is effective but time consuming. Watering with any type of above-ground sprinkling system works well but allows water to be lost to

evaporation. Using a standard soaker hose to water the foundation is the best option for most applications.

Step 3: To manually water a foundation, begin outside at one corner of the home.

Turn the hose on and stand about two feet from the foundation. Allow the water to run on the ground toward the home for about 15 seconds. Move 5 feet over and water for another 15 seconds. Continue the process until the entire perimeter has been watered. Repeat the process every few days, depending on the severity of the drought and the conditions of the soil.

Step 4: When using regular or inground sprinkling systems, adjust sprinklers to moisten the soil within 6 inches of the foundation. Do not allow water to hit the exterior walls. Water running down the walls can exacerbate the problem rather than alleviate it.

Step 5: For a carefree method of watering, run a standard soaker hose approximately 12 inches to 18 inches away from the foundation wall, along the perimeter of the home. Allow the soaker hose to seep for 15 minutes twice a day until adequate hydration is achieved.
