DOUG COMPTON, PRESIDENT OF FIRST MANAGEMENT INC., STANDS inside “The 901 Building,” as he calls it, at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. The seven-story building that has changed the downtown Lawrence skyline will be home to 55 apartments, office space and a health club when complete. TOP: The 901 Building is a $10 million project that could be the first in a series of new developments for the Ninth and New Hampshire intersection. A group led by Compton last month filed plans for a six-story hotel and apartment building to be built on the vacant lot at the southeast corner of the intersection.

Developer hopes ‘901’ project will spur living, shopping downtown

It was a Sunday morning, back when the roof of this seven-story building in the heart of downtown Lawrence was nothing more than a few steel studs.

Doug Compton grabbed a hard hat and sneaked up to the top. Well, he likely didn’t sneak much. He’s the leader of this $10 million project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, and he’ll go where he

“

When I got up here, all I could say is, ‘Wow.’ ... It is great to have a plan and a dream and then to actually see it.”

— Doug Compton, president of First Management Inc. pleases — sometimes showing up on the job site three or four times a day.

But the point is, Compton didn’t want to wait any longer. After all, there are plenty of opportunities to see downtown from the flat ground of Massachusetts Street. There

are even a few to see it from a third-story loft, if you play your cards right. But when it comes to viewing downtown — and everything that surrounds it — from a seventhstory perch, those opportunities are still rare.

one of them with this building at the southwest corner of Ninth and New Hampshire. He’s filed plans to bring you another skyscraper — by Lawrence standards anyway — at the southeast corner of the intersection, and he’s already dreaming of how he could bring you a third on the northeast corner.

If Compton has his way, he’s going to leave a mark on Lawrence’s skyline. It already has left a mark on him.

New building a sun-blocker for coffee shops

By Alex Garrison

TOM MERSMANN, LAWRENCE, ENJOYS some morning sunshine with coffee and a book, outside Z’s Divine Espresso, 10 E. Ninth, just minutes before the new building at the southwest corner of Ninth and New Hampshire casts a long shadow over Mersmann and the outdoor spot.

No matter what your feelings about the First Management construction project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, the tower there has at least one incontrovertible role: light-blocker.

The project blocks the morning light that used to pour over the patios of the Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., and Z’s Divine Espresso, 10 E. Ninth St., like hot coffee.

Sure, it’s a long shot. A prayer.

But hey, all this talk of a new school financing formula is giving players on educational rosters — especially those on the sidelines in Lawrence — something they haven’t had in a while: a chance.

“We’re all people who, in their core, believe deeply in their schools and don’t want to see them close,” said David Unekis, a Pinckney School parent serving on a group advising the Lawrence school board about consolidation options. “We all have that in the back of our minds: Maybe there’s a way — as we dig into the data, and dig into the numbers — that we can find a Hail Mary pass to get us out of this.

“And that possibility is a lot more likely with the state-finance stuff going on.”

That “stuff” involves an unwritten playbook making the rounds this month, as state officials prepare for the January kickoff of the 2012 session of the Kansas Legislature.

Among the plays being drawn up: !"Reduce the amount of property tax collected by the state for redistribution to school districts, envisioning a tax rate that would decrease anywhere from 25 to 50 percent. !"Allow districts to make up the difference using local property taxes, revenues that could be retained within individual districts — instead of being sent to Topeka and then redistributed to

Occupy Lawrence may not have one

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Ask around for the leaders at an Occupy Lawrence protest, and you’re likely to get an answer that sounds something like this: “What makes (the movement) so attractive to so many people is that it’s leaderless,” said Cody Alley, 25, standing near a group of tents in South Park last week.

A Kansas University political science professor who studies protests and repression, though, says it’s impossible to have a protest without leaders.

“There had to be someone who said, ‘Let’s go to Wall Street, and let’s occupy,’” said Ron Francisco, who organizes data on protests around the world. “There’s a leader somewhere, but we don’t know who it is.”

Locally, the Occupy Lawrence movement has all sorts of “point people” who organize all sorts of matters for the group — everything from collecting donations to acting as a liaison with city government. But those “point people” don’t consider themselves “leaders.”

Jason Phoenix, 32, of Lawrence, said he’s the point person for talking to the media, among other duties. He said he considered himself more of Please see LEADER, page 4A ! Protesters issued citations. Page 3A

School board to mull options for consolidation group

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Members of the Lawrence school board will get a chance Monday to “affirm, change or cancel the charge” of its volunteer advisory group assigned to recommend a plan for closing two or three elementary schools during the next two to three years.

During their regular meeting at 7 p.m. at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive, board members will field questions posed by representatives from the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group.

Group members want clarification on three items: # Whether they must come up with two plans for consolidating schools: one that would assume passage of a bond issue to finance school upgrades, expansions and possible new construc-

Finance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

other districts — and spent as local school boards see fit. #" Permit counties to charge increased sales taxes for education, with half of the money going into a shared pool to be shared with other participating districts and the other half staying within districts in the county.

Such possibilities are giving folks on the Lawrence school district’s Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group hope that there might be a way for the district to avoid following through with its stated intention: Close two or three elementary schools within two to three years, and pursue approval of a bond issue that would upgrade and expand remaining schools to handle a redistributed and more efficient enrollment load.

That’s been the plan since February, when members of another advisory task force could foresee no other way to make ends meet after the district announced plans to cut $3 million from the 201112 budget. That had come after the district already had cut $3.4 million from the previous year’s budget to go along with other cuts mounting since the Great Recession had begun.

But now, after Gov. Sam Brownback’s policy director started briefing educators about potential changes to the state’s financing formula, members of the district’s working group are sensing a glimmer of hope — even if it comes from perhaps the most unlikely of sources.

“Again, it’s Brownback,” said Unekis, a member of the working group’s liaison committee to the school board. “I don’t want to get my hopes too high.”

It’s still early.

No specifics Rick Doll, district superintendent, listened this month as Brownback policy director Landon Fulmer outlined the governor’s preliminary game plan for education. Yes, local districts would get more control of their finances. Atrisk and other needs could be addressed with a block-grant program. Districts could be assured of receiving a base level of funding from the state.

But the discussion came with no specific numbers, ones that would indicate whether the Lawrence district would end up with more money, the same money or, in a worst-case scenario, less money with no hope to recoup continued losses.

“I’m skeptical,” Doll said, “whether hidden in this plan is a desire to decrease overall funding,” The district already has spent recent years increasing class sizes, cutting programs, eliminating staff positions and furloughing employees to make ends meet. The district closed Wakarusa Valley School at the end of the past school year and embarked on a course to close either two

tion, and another that would assume rejection of a bond issue. # Whether the group’s directions should change, given adjustments to data regarding school capacities and an overall increase in district enrollment this year. # Whether the group may consider “creative ideas,” such as magnet or themebased schools in their deliberations.

In a memo to board members, Superintendent Rick Doll said that the district’s administration continues to support work of the group, which is made up of community representatives from the six schools considered candidates for consolidation — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — plus Woodlawn. Doll considers it “a unique opportunity to provide a community vision for the future of elementary

“

I’m skeptical whether hidden in this plan is a desire to decrease overall funding.”

— Rick Doll, Lawrence schools superintendent or three more schools from a list of six candidates: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill.

Representatives from each of those school communities, plus Woodlawn School, have been meeting for more than two months as a working group to devise a plan that could close schools while still preserving the district’s abilities to provide the best education possible.

At issue is the very structure of school finance in Kansas: The state collects property taxes and then returns money to districts to operate their schools, so that all students are assured of receiving an equitable education regardless of whether they live in a “rich” or “poor” district.

Individual districts are able to charge extra taxes for their own use, through a “local option budget” capped at 31 percent of the district’s general fund, the one financed by the state.

The Lawrence district, like many others, has maxed out its local option budget and has few options to raise money to offset state cuts. So the district has pursued closing smaller elementary schools, a plan that would reduce the number of principals, office staff, librarians, custodians and others assigned to particular buildings — generating operational savings that then could be used to cover losses and finance programs considered effective, such as all-day kindergarten.

‘Back to the drawing board’ Closing schools would mean sending displaced students into other schools with available space, or by expanding smaller schools so that they would be large enough to accommodate a full lineup of staffers and programs. The district even could consider building a new school or two.

Such upgrades would be financed by passage of a bond issue — millions of dollars approved by voters for renovations, expansions or newconstruction projects. Or the district could use money already available for major maintenance and related projects.

Either way, that money would not be limited by the state. And as previous bond issues expire during the next several years, district leaders foresee creating a plan that would keep property taxes stable — or even decline — while generating additional money to get projects done.

The upgrades and expansions, then, would free up

schools” in central and eastern Lawrence.

His recommendation: “The board could choose to affirm, change or cancel the charge” of the group.

Among other items on the board agenda for Monday: # Meet at 5:50 p.m. to discuss programs and services for special education. # Recess into executive session, at 6:45 p.m., to “discuss matters affecting a student.” # Reconvene at 7 p.m. to honor National Merit semifinalists and a National Achievement Program semifinalist, receive financial reports, approve contracts, receive an update on elementary math programs and select delegates to the annual convention of the Kansas Association of School Boards.

operational money to pay teachers, restore programs and otherwise bolster staff and other initiatives.

Such thinking is the vision behind the working group, but its members increasingly worry about the alternative: What happens if voters reject a bond issue? Do schools still close?

“I don’t think that consolidation is necessarily the answer to what’s facing our district,” said Leslie Newman, a member representing Hillcrest, where she has a child in school. “We need to go back to the drawing board and get creative.”

Board members are scheduled to embark on such discussions Monday night, during their meeting that starts at 7 p.m. at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

Unekis and other members of the working group’s liaison committee will be addressing the board, seeking guidance on where to go as they approach their end-ofJanuary deadline for making recommendations regarding consolidation.

Keith Diaz Moore, a board member who regularly attends meetings of the working group, is confident they are the right folks for the job.

“These are the right people and represent the right groups to be involved in this process,” Diaz Moore said.

The roster is filled with people looking for solutions, whether it’s thinking about magnet schools or wondering if there might be another budgetary approach to make ends meet. People like Unekis, who supports following through and devising a plan for consolidation but holding out hope — however slight — that Brownback’s plan could help keep all Lawrence schools open and bolster programs and teaching without requiring a bond issue.

“Then it’s a win for everybody,” Unekis said, envisioning the best-case scenario while acknowledging its inherent uncertainty. “It’s certainly better to have the ball and throwing the Hail Mary, rather than not even being on the field.”

BRIEFLY 90-year-old pledge to be on ‘Anderson’

TOPEKA — Bertie McConnell, the 90-year-old new pledge of a sorority at Washburn University, will be interviewed this week by Anderson Cooper.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that McConnell will return to Washburn this week and that Cooper will interview her by satellite for his talk show “Anderson” in front of the same sorority house where she would have attended events during World War II. Last week McConnell, of Lawrence, celebrated her 90th birthday by accepting an invitation to join the women’s fraternity Zeta Tau Alpha at Washburn. McConnell was given an invitation to become a Zeta after postponing her dream to join the sorority in 1941 to help with the war effort.

Protesters ticketed for violating city code

1 | LIBYA

New leaders to declare liberation Libya’s new leaders will declare liberation today, officials said, a move that will start the clock for elections after months of bloodshed that culminated in the death of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

But the victory has been clouded by questions over how Gadhafi was killed after images emerged showing he was found alive and taunted and beaten by his captors.

The long-awaited declaration of liberation will come more than Gadhafi two months after revolutionary forces swept into Tripoli and seized control of most of the oil-rich North African nation. It was stalled by fierce resistance by Gadhafi loyalists in his hometown of Sirte, Bani Walid and pockets in the south.

It’s always been a “wait and see” game.

Doug Denney thinks so. He’s waited to see how the Occupy Lawrence protests have come along and how their message and purpose have fluctuated as they’ve defied the city’s orders.

He protested against the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, and on Saturday, a few paces behind in the march, with a sign lamenting the death of the American dream, he joined in with the enthusiastic 20-somethings leading the Occupy Lawrence march.

“It’s wonderful to see another generation get involved,” he said.

As they vow to keep going, the occupiers, too, are now waiting — waiting to see what further steps the Lawrence Police Department and the city may take to remove them from South Park’s scattering of tents that have become their camp.

They’re not leaving. Or most say they aren’t, at least.

Eight protesters were tick-

eted just before 2 a.m. Saturday for being in violation of city code 15-208, which states that city parks are to be closed from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Falling satellite enters atmosphere A defunct satellite entered the atmosphere early today and pieces of it were expected to crash into the earth, the German Aerospace Center said.

There was no immediate solid evidence to determine above which continent or country the ROSAT scientific research satellite entered the atmosphere, agency spokesman Andreas Schuetz said.

Most parts of the minivan-sized satellite were expected to burn up during re-entry, but up to 30 fragments weighing 1.87 tons could crash into Earth at speeds up to 280 mph.

Scientists were no longer able to communicate with the dead satellite and it must have traveled about 12,500 miles in the last 30 minutes before entering the atmosphere, Schuetz said. Experts were waiting for “observations from around the world,” he added.

Scientists said hours before the re-entry into the atmosphere that the satellite was not expected to hit over Europe, Africa or Australia. According to a precalculated path it could have been above Asia, possibly China, at the time of its re-entry, but Schuetz said he could not confirm whether the satellite actually entered above that area.

Big banks under pressure in crisis Big banks found themselves under pressure in Europe’s debt crisis Saturday, with finance chiefs pushing them to raise billions of euros in capital and accept huge losses on Greek bonds they hold.

The continent’s biggest financial institutions were at the center of talks as leaders entered marathon negotiations in Brussels, at the end of which they have promised to present a comprehensive plan to take Europe out of its crippling debt crisis.

“Between now and Wednesday we have to find a solution, a structural solution, an ambitious solution and a definitive solution,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said as he arrived in Brussels. “There’s no other choice.”

In addition to new financing for Greece, leaders want to make the banking sector fit to sustain worsening market turmoil and turn their bailout fund into a strong safety net that will stop big economies like Italy and Spain from falling into the same debt trap that has already snapped Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Nevada moves caucus to Feb. 4 Nevada Republicans have shifted their presidential caucuses to early February, a move that ends an increasingly bitter standoff among rival states and for the first time clarifies the path to the Republican presidential nomination.

There will be no voting before Christmas. That’s despite warnings from New Hampshire’s top election official that Nevada’s initial insistence to host its contest in mid-January could force the Granite State to schedule the nation’s first Republican primary election in roughly six weeks.

But facing boycott threats from campaigns, incentive offers from the Republican National Committee, and the private blessing of the Mitt Romney campaign, Nevada Republicans voted Saturday to set their caucuses for Feb. 4. It will be the West’s first stop in the race for the Republican presidential nomination and the fifth contest overall, after Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida.

Robinson said he asked friends of his on Facebook to indicate they were attending the rally even if they had no plans to, in the hopes of generating more interest in the rally. He also recruited a few others to help him organize events.

“To me, the movement is leaderless because people have become disillusioned with leadership,” he said.

Interviewed on Wednesday, Robinson said his involvement had since scaled back. He was at home on Wednesday, and hadn’t been to the daily organizational meetings for at least the last few days, he said. And he doesn’t call himself a leader, either. He plays a “gadfly” role these days, he said.

“If I’m a leader, we’re in more trouble than we thought,” Robinson said.

Leaders of major protest movements are usually of a higher social class and economic status than most of the followers, said Francisco, the KU political scientist.

Whether that will hold true for the national Occupy effort has yet to be seen.

“The leader of this movement obviously doesn’t want to be known,” Francisco said.

property for $418,500.

Conspirators in the mortgage scheme admitted engineering the sale and purchase of new homes at inflated prices with fraudulently obtained mortgages. Prosecutors said the deals were structured so the buyers would receive the difference between the actual sales prices and the inflated prices.

Buyers received about $100,000 on each home, prosecutors said, and former Lee’s Summit real estate agent Angela R. Clark pulled in more than $400,000 in commissions and other payments because of the inflated prices.

Clark, who orchestrated the scheme, has been sentenced to 20 months behind bars and must pay more than $5.6 million in restitution.

She sold the homes for Raymore builder Jerry R. Emerick at inflated prices and helped buyers get mortgages far exceeding the value of the homes.

Emerick was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison and ordered to pay restitution of more than $5 million after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud and wire fraud, and to transferring funds obtained by fraud across state lines.

In her guilty plea, Washam-Hawkins admitted obtaining the false Social Security numbers and helping create false credit histories attached to them. Bartlett used his businesses to provide fraudulent account and payment information to a credit bureau, building up the credit scores associated with the numbers.

Republicans vie for edge in Iowa

DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) — Evangelical activists, Iowa’s most potent conservative voting bloc, are sharply divided barely 10 weeks away from the state’s leadoff caucuses.

A half-dozen GOP contenders sought Saturday to sharpen their Christian conservative credentials, and at times allay doubts, in an effort to gain any edge with this influential group before the state’s Jan. 3 caucuses.

Businessman Herman Cain sought to clarify his position on abortion after suggesting this week the issue was a matter of choice. He declared before roughly 1,000 devout Iowa social conservatives at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition that he believed human life began “from conception.

No abortions. No exceptions.”

He later said in answering a question from a panelist, “I believe abortion should be clearly stated as illegal across this country.”

Cain has risen sharply in the polls recently, stirring the interest of tea party activists and Republicans drawn to the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO’s business background and outsider status.

But he has also drawn new scrutiny, and came under attack by some of his fellow Republican candidates after comments in a CNN interview this week.

“What I’m saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make,” Cain told CNN. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who has reached out aggressively to evangelical conservatives in Iowa, seized on the comments and criticized Cain last week. Santorum was expected to speak later Saturday.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry took a veiled jab at Romney, who had supported abortion rights but declared his opposition during his term as Massachusetts governor as he was weighing a presidential bid.

“Pro-life is not a matter of campaign convenience,” said Perry, who has stepped up his attacks on Romney’s conservative profile.

But Perry also noted “It is a liberal canard to say I am personally pro-life but government should stay out of that decision.”

“That is not true,” Cain said when asked about Perry’s comments. “That is just an attempt to try to discredit me. The statement that I made that wasn’t played with the clip that everybody’s going crazy over — I am pro-life from conception. No abortions, no exceptions.”

Evangelical conservatives have yet to rally around any single candidate aggressively courting them, seeking the kind of lift that carried former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to victory in the leadoff caucuses in 2008.

Activists attending the coalition’s forum at the Iowa State Fairgrounds weighed pitches from three candidates, including Santorum, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Perry, Cain, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

Compton CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“When I got up here, all I could say is, ‘Wow,’” said Compton, one of the city’s larger landlords and developers as president of First Management Inc. “This project absolutely has been a lot of fun. It is great to have a plan and a dream and then to actually see it.

“It is every bit as beautiful as I thought it would be.”

Moving in The 901 Building — as Compton calls it — will have several parts to it. The ground floor will be a health club occupied by the leaders of Next Level Fitness, a group that now offers private training out of a small gym in North Lawrence.

The new health club will include a private training business, called Next Level, and a full-service public fitness center, called The Summit. The first floor also has space for a bistro/wine bar concept that opens onto a patio on the west side of the building.

The second floor will be about 10,000 square feet of office space. Compton hopes to move the corporate headquarters of his First Management firm, which has about 50 employees at its headquarters, to the building. But he hasn’t yet committed to make the move because he hasn’t found a tenant or a buyer for the company’s existing headquarters in northern Lawrence.

But it is floors three through seven that have driven this project. Each floor will have 11 apartment units, with each level connected to the adjacent public parking garage.

The apartments will be the first part of the project to open. Plans call for some tenants to start moving in Nov. 1, with all 55 apartments completed by early December.

“We knew downtown living was going to be a hit,” said Compton, who said the few apartments he has above his other downtown buildings always have a waiting list.

The project is 71 percent preleased, and Compton said he expects that number to grow in the next few weeks now that the building is far enough along that tenants can begin to see some of the finishes.

The project isn’t going to turn downtown into a new student-housing district, Compton said. Primarily the tenant mix has skewed to young professionals. Studio apartments begin at about $800. Onebedrooms, which make up the majority of the units, begin at about $940. Two-bedroom units start at about $1,100.

All the units, which range in

pinpoint specific losses steeping from the monthslong construction process, but when asked about the blocked light, regulars have a decidedly heated response.

“Yeah, it causes me to go back inside when normally I would stay and enjoy some beautiful weather,” Pig regular Chris Ortiz said. “It used to be warm enough (to sit outside), but it won’t be this year.”

On this little part of Ninth, between Massachusetts and N.H., frustration with the building has been brewing since the summer.

Ryan Shelton, who’s been a barista at Z’s for three months, said losing the sunlight was a drag, but the real “huge mess” came in the form of the dust that plagued the patio during the heavier exterior construction.

“We like the front of the building to look nice,” she said, “but it’s nearly impossible when dust and trash is always blowing this way.”

Construction is winding down and the building is here to stay — and so are most of the regulars, even if the reduced sunlight, noise, dust and mangled traffic and parking have gotten their tempers a little steamed.

No matter. Nicole Marshall, a regular at the Pig who had crossed over to Z’s on Friday, summed up the effect of the tower, for better or worse.

“It definitely changes the feeling of the street,” she said.

LAWRENCE size from about 600 square feet to 1,000 square feet, feature an urban design, including a decorative metal ceiling, a walk-in shower, a membership to the health club, and all units except the studios have a balcony.

Lots of folks want to give urban living a try, said Matt Gatewood, who is waiting to move into a sixth-floor apartment in the building. Gatewood already has been living in downtown Lawrence for seven years in the nearby building at 10th and New Hampshire streets.

“It is a pretty unique experience living in downtown,” Gatewood said. “You don’t have to get in a car if you want to go to a restaurant or to a movie or to experience some nightlife. Plus, in downtown, you just feel like you are in the middle of everything.”

Gatewood, who is a project manager for a software company, said he thinks downtown Lawrence has more potential for living units than even downtown Kansas City. He said Lawrence’s downtown is more compact and thus puts people closer to the activity centers than is possible in downtown K.C. “I’m not sure there is a real cap for how many people could end up living in downtown Lawrence,” Gatewood said. “There is a lot going on down here.”

A clear view Compton stops in the middle of one of the building’s stairways and calls the fellow he sees walking out of the building down below. He wants to make sure he got a few details right about a counter that is on order for the lobby of the health club. Earlier in the day, Compton was using his hands to draw pictures in the air of the counter’s layout and where shelves could go.

If your vision of Compton is of some well-heeled developer who sits in an office writing checks, that’s not the way it has worked on this project.

Compton can tell you the different colors that each floor’s hallways will be painted, and he can spend five minutes or more talking about the details of the key card security system that will be installed in the building’s elevator.

“I spend more time on this project than I do any of my others,” Compton said.

“I’m down here three or four times a week, and sometimes three or four times a day.”

With a $10 million price tag, the stakes for the project are high. But Compton gives the impression that he thinks the stakes for downtown are high, too.

“This is really our opportunity to create a mass of people living and shopping in downtown Lawrence,” Compton said as he motioned to the entire Ninth and New Hampshire intersection.

A group led by Compton last month filed plans for a six-story hotel and apartment building to be built on the vacant lot at the southeast corner of the intersection. The project would include an 81room TownePlace by Marriott on the top three floors of the building, 36 apartments on the second and third floors of the building, and a restaurant, hotel lobby and retail space on the ground floor. The project would include two levels of underground parking as well.

But Compton last week confirmed what several have speculated: that he someday would like to do a large project on the northeast corner of the intersection. Compton said he can envision a combination of residential and retail development on the site, which now houses the offices for Black Hills Energy

and others. Compton doesn’t known when, or if, he’ll ever be able to put together a deal for that corner, which he does not yet fully own. But the wheels are spinning.

The hotel project, however, is doing more than spinning.

The city’s Historic Resources Commission is expected to begin debating the project at a meeting later this month.

Discussion likely will include concerns from east Lawrence residents who wonder about the impacts the large building will have on the adjacent neighborhood.

Compton said he is confident that his development team will successfully address their concerns, and he indicated he would work hard to see the project through.

“I tell you, that project over there should happen,” Compton said, pointing to the hotel site. “It needs to happen for downtown.”

In the meantime, you get the feeling that Compton feels awfully good about what already has happened at this intersection that may become known one day as Compton’s Corner.

“You know, up there on the top floor, the views aren’t blocked by anything,” he said.

“And they never will be.”

KU housing A communication from Kansas University administrators raises questions concerning a possible strategy to help fill university residence halls.

K

ansas University officials are engaged in a major analysis of how they can save money and enhance efficiency and effectiveness in an effort to build the university into an even finer center of academic and research excellence.

It would be interesting to know what connection there might be between the current million-dollar Huron Consulting study to recommend ways the university could operate more efficiently and the possibility that university officials would consider requiring all freshman men to live in university residence halls.

Enrollment at KU has declined for the last three years. At an August meeting at KU, a Huron representative said that he thought the vacancy rate “in the dorms” at KU was about 10 percent. At that time, Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman, said he was talking only about residence halls and that the overall occupancy for residence and scholarship halls and Jayhawker Towers apartments was 91.1 percent last year. That figure may or may not be related to a recent email sent by Amy Long, KU associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, to senior representatives of KU men’s fraternities saying: “Hello National Fraternity Director: “I am writing you today urgently seeking information, on behalf of our vice president for student affairs. The University of Kansas has a tradition of allowing freshmen/new members to live in privately owned fraternity housing.

Currently, as It is understandable part of the Unithat representatives of versity’s strategic planning a number of KU one fraternities are deeply process, item being conconcerned about any sidered is moveffort by KU officials ing to a First year live on to require freshman requirement men to live in for all students. university housing This would no rather than in a longer allow fraternity house.” new members to live in chapter property their freshman year.”

The letter stated the information was needed “urgently” and should be provided no later than Friday, Oct. 21.

Several specific questions were asked, including how many first-year students are living in fraternities. Also, whoever authorized the questionnaire stated, “This message w/ attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.”

Almost immediately, Tammara Durham, interim vice provost for student affairs at KU, sent a follow-up email to “undisclosed recipients” on the subject of “KU Freshman Fraternity Living.” She stated, “I wanted to correct an email sent by Amy Long requesting information regarding fraternity living. There is no university intention of prohibiting freshman students from living in fraternity houses. I was simply interested in this information as I take on a new role at the university.”

She noted fraternities and sororities have been an important asset to the university and that the university is committed to supporting a “thriving Greek community.” She ended by apologizing for “the miscommunication.”

Clearly, KU officials are trying to cover their tracks by denying any involvement in the freshman men matter and probably are trying to suggest any such information-gathering effort was the idea of the Huron group.

It is understandable that representatives of a number of KU fraternities are deeply concerned about any effort by KU officials to require freshman men to live in university housing rather than in a fraternity house.

This could have serious implications for the fraternities and is looked upon as an effort either to weaken the fraternity system at KU or help fill empty KU dorm rooms.

Unfortunately, there are too-frequent reports of misbehavior by some living in KU fraternities. However, the fraternity system at KU is looked upon as one of the best in the nation. The on-campus accomplishments and involvement of KU fraternity and sorority members are outstanding, and, as alumni, they have been active and highly effective and generous supporters of the university.

It would be wrong and shortsighted for KU officials to weaken or handicap the KU fraternity/sorority system.

It’s obvious KU officials need to get their stories straight and/or acknowledge that Huron officials may be encouraging KU officials to investigate the fraternity system as a means of capturing more residence hall revenue for the school.

Six-term senator faces election challenge INDIANAPOLIS — Richard Mourdock, a Republican and Indiana’s treasurer, wants to wrest his party’s U.S. Senate nomination from a six-term incumbent who has been a national figure since becoming mayor of this city in 1968 at age 35, who has averaged 69 percent of the vote in five re-elections, and who ran unopposed by a Democrat in 2006. When Richard Lugar, an Eagle Scout and Rhodes scholar, was a Naval ensign, he briefed Dwight Eisenhower. That was 10 presidents ago, which may be a problem for Lugar in an era of pandemic disparagement of the political class. So Mourdock will try to defeat Lugar with wounding praise: Lugar is a great chapter of Indiana history, but elections are arguments about the future.

And the good luck of two of Lugar’s colleagues is Lugar’s misfortune and Mourdock’s opportunity. Some national conservative groups that relish intraparty fights had hoped to fund primary challenges to Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch (another six-termer), Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe and Lugar. But the strongest potential challenger to Hatch opted not to run and no strong challenger to Snowe has emerged, so the conservatives’ restless energies may be focused on Lugar.

It is not clear why. Congressional Quarterly, assessing 760 votes over the eight Reagan years, said Lugar supported the president 88 percent of the time — more than any other senator. Yes, Lugar

So Mourdock will try to defeat Lugar with wounding praise: Lugar is a great chapter of Indiana history, but elections are arguments about the future.”

voted for Barack Obama’s two Supreme Court nominees, but there is a conservative case to be made (conservatives make it when they have the presidency) for deference as the default position regarding presidents’ judicial choices. Yes, Lugar voted for the New START treaty, but all living Republican ex-secretaries of state supported it, including George Shultz, who served Ronald Reagan. Shultz has endorsed Lugar (“Reagan relied on him”).

Lugar has cast almost 13,000 Senate votes, so everyone has something about which to complain, and almost every conservative particularly dislikes one vote, that for TARP. The political center — of the nation and the GOP

— has moved rightward since Lugar became a senator in 1977, and in 2010 the American Conservative Union rated Lugar the fifth most liberal Republican senator and the National Journal ranked him the fourth. This, even though he opposed the stimulus, cap and trade (Indiana is a coal state), Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, he is pro-life and has voted for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution eight times.

Mourdock, however, earned the admiration of national conservatives, and of people who are partial to the rule of law, when he rightly, if unsuccessfully, contested in court the terms of Obama’s Chrysler bailout. Indiana’s pension funds for teachers and state police were among Chrysler’s secured creditors. It had been settled law that such creditors are first in line to be paid in the event of bankruptcy.

But in the Chrysler case, secured creditors received less per dollar than an unsecured creditor, the United Auto Workers.

Lugar’s courtliness and Midwestern aversion to rhetorical flamboyance do not match this moment of fevered politics. So this race will take the temperature of a fundamentally temperate state that Obama carried in 2008 by a wafer-thin margin (28,391 votes).

In what may be Lugar’s principal vulnerability, some Hoosiers think that with his many foreign policy interests — he has been, and could again be, chairman of

“

the Foreign Relations Committee — he has neglected Indiana: The day Mourdock announced his challenge, a large majority of the 92 Republican county chairmen endorsed him.

Lugar’s campaign has more than 12 times as much cash on hand as Mourdock’s, but money is not always very salient: It can buy an unknown candidate recognition, but Lugar is recognized by almost every Indianan. It cannot buy intensity, which often is disproportionately important in intra-party squabbles. Mourdock will tap tea party passion, and in the May 8 primary, Rep. Mike Pence, a favorite of conservatives, will be seeking, and probably winning, the Republican nomination for governor, which will bring out conservative voters susceptible to Mourdock’s arguments. Lugar is godfather to a daughter of Gov. Mitch Daniels, who got his start in politics working for Mayor Lugar and then as Sen. Lugar’s first chief of staff. Daniels has endorsed Lugar, but speaks warmly of Mourdock.

Mourdock, 60, recently ran a marathon, perhaps underscoring one (small) difference with Lugar, who will be 80 by primary day but still runs 5K races. At the event announcing his candidacy, Mourdock asked for a round of applause for Lugar, who will be replaced, or awarded a seventh term, respectfully.

Actor takes stand to ‘make it better’ Zachary Quinto came out recently.

Ordinarily, the news that Star Trek’s new Mr. Spock had told New York magazine he was gay would barely register. It has become, a rather ordinary thing, celebrities disclosing their hidden sexuality.

But Quinto came out for Jamey.

Jamey’s death, he wrote on his blog, showed him “that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality.” Jamey Rodemeyer, 14, hanged himself in September. Just a few days into his freshman year, he apparently felt he could not take the bullying he endured in the hallways of Williamsville North High School in greater Buffalo, NY — or online.

“JAMEY IS STUPID, GAY, FAT AND UGLY. HE MUST DIE!” one individual posted, using the all-caps style favored by the shrill and the unhinged.

“I wouldn’t care if you died,” another wrote. “No one would.”

Incredibly, it continued even

after his suicide. Jamey’s sister Alyssa went to a dance trying, she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, to not “be in pain for just these two hours.” She says some kids at the dance chanted that they were glad her brother is dead.

Jamey’s “sin” is that he was bisexual and most of his friends were girls.

ter,” he had said in a video for the It Gets Better Project, a website (itgetsbetter.org) of 25,000 videos from everyday people and luminaries like Ellen DeGeneres, Anne Hathaway and President Obama to encourage lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered kids who are bullied and ostracized.

There is something inexpressibly poignant in watching this child, who had complained for years of being bullied, try to convince others of something he apparently found hard to believe himself.

The dynamics of bigotry are remarkably consistent whether the bigotry be racial, religious, ethnic or sexual: The target group is invariably defined as a threatening, inferior or offensive “other” to whom no ordinary duties of human decency and respect are owed.

But with sexual orientation, it is easier to hide the offending trait. The abuse becomes something you have to volunteer for.

That’s what Quinto just did. And what other gay people must find the courage to do.

Yes, that is easier said than done. To hide in plain sight is to

protect yourself from rejection by those whose acceptance means everything. But it is also to flinch from the moral responsibility of standing with and for your own.

It is a good and honorable thing to remind troubled kids that high school ends, that it gets better. Yet that can be cold comfort when you’re 14 and facing four more years of abuse.

Four years is nearly a quarter of your life. So what is needed is not simply to encourage kids to be patient until graduation but, rather, to root out that which makes patience necessary.

Meaning the cruel intolerance that calls itself moral righteousness and still finds far too much comfort in our homes, worship houses and schools.

By coming out in honor of Jamey, standing with and for this tortured boy, Zachary Quinto acknowledges the obvious.

It does not get better on its own.

Number of Kansas listeria cases up KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas is reporting more cases of listeria linked to contaminated cantaloupe.

The Kansas City Star reports that Kansas health officials said Friday that federal investigators have confirmed that three more listeriosis cases in the state are part of the national outbreak. That brings the HEALTH total number of cases in Kansas to 10. Three of the people have died.

Kansas usually has reports of fewer than six listeriosis cases per year.

Federal health officials say that since August more than 120 people from 26 states have been infected with listeria bacteria traced to the cantaloupes from a Colorado farm. About 25 people have died.

Two-minute drilled KANSAS STATE 59, KANSAS 21

KANSAS LINEBACKER STEVEN JOHNSON CAN’T PULL DOWN KANSAS STATE RUNNING BACK JOHN HUBERT (33) as he races up the sideline deep in Jayhawk territory during the third quarter. K-State rolled to a 59-21 victory Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

K-State quickly exposes chasm

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Want to know just how wide the gap is between the football programs at Kansas University and Kansas State?

Look no further than the twominute sequence that spanned the end of the first half and the beginning of the second Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

During that tiny portion of the Wildcats’ 59-21 rout of the Jayhawks — the second such beating suffered by KU versus KSU in the Turner Gill era — KState turned a 28-14 lead into a 45-14 laugher in front of a crowd of 47,157.

During that stretch, KSU picked up a gift field goal, scored a touchdown on a kickoff return and tacked on another TD after KU fumbled on its first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.

“We let the game get away from us at the beginning of the second half,” KU junior linebacker Toben Opurum said.

“When a team scores two touchdowns in less than two minutes, it’s going to shoot anybody’s momentum down. We kind of let that bring us down as an offense and a defense.”

It wasn’t just the scores that Please see KANSAS, page 4B

Zenger faces challenge Sheahon Zenger, this is your mission: Find a way to get the Kansas University athletic department out of the financial pressure your predecessor, Lew Perkins, put it in, in part because he believed in giving coaches everything they needed to succeed with little regard for how much it cost.

Perkins brought KU’s fundraising into the 21st century, upgraded facilities and signed many coaches to one-sided contracts that paid them far too much money.

Turner Gill was earning $450,000 per year at University at Buffalo, where he raised a national embarrassment of a football program to respectability. Perkins didn’t raise Gill’s salary to $1 million.

Pujols propels Cards in 16-7 win ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Albert Pujols simply let his bat make all the noise. And boy, it was pretty loud.

Pujols hit three impressive home runs to tie the World Series record, amassing five hits and six RBIs Saturday night as the St. Louis Cardinals romped past the Texas Rangers 16-7 for a 2-1 edge.

The outburst by the threetime NL MVP came a day after he was barbed by the media for not sticking around to talk about a Game 2 error and loss.

This time, everyone was talking about him.

Pujols, who was 0 for 6 in the first two games, became the third player to hit three homers in a Series game. He joined Babe Ruth, who did it in 1926 and again in 1928, and Reggie Jackson’s performance in 1977.

His six RBIs tied the record in

a game, matching Bobby Richardson in 1960 and Hideki Matsui in 2009.

Oh, Pujols also matched the Series mark for hits in a game set by Paul Molitor in 1982. Just think, too — Pujols’ monster night came after he grounded out in the first inning.

“It’s an honor to be named in the same category as those guys,” Pujols said.

The Cardinals mashed their way to the highest-scoring game in their storied postseason history.

After two taut games in St. Louis, this suddenly turned into a messy slugfest. Pujols, the most feared slugger in the majors, was right in the middle John Young/Journal-World Photo — he became the first player in Series history to get hits in four FREE STATE GYMNAST JACKIE ZAITZ PERFORMS on the uneven bars during the straight innings.

year and guaranteed all five years.

Ask yourself this question: Have you ever known anybody in any industry who said no to an offer that more than doubles his or her salary? Didn’t think so. Gill, no doubt, would have taken $1 million a year.

Perkins put too much emphasis on image, believing that if he paid a coach $2 million, the

coach would be perceived as a $2 million coach, which would help in raising money, landing recruits and generating a national buzz.

In the wake of the latest embarrassment for a football program that had been raised to respectability by Gill’s predecessor, Saturday’s 59-21 loss to undefeated Kansas State left many wondering: So how does Zenger get out of this pickle?

Irony of all ironies, hated rival Missouri could help out the Kansas football program in its moment of desperate need.

FSHS gymnasts take state crown

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

SHAWNEE — Some impromptu number crunching might have made the actual announcement a tad anticlimactic, but Free State High’s gymnastics team finished a dominating season by winning a state championship Saturday at Shawnee Mission Northwest.

Firebirds Jackie Zaitz, Grace Bartle, Annie Soderberg, Hannah Moran and Haley Johnson had kept watchful eyes on the scores of their competition at the state meet, so they knew the championship trophy was coming back to FSHS, which shared a title with Newton in 2009.

Said Zaitz: “We did a lot of calculations and sat there and thought about it.”

Obviously, that knowledge didn’t make the victory any less

exciting. After holding the firstplace trophy on stage, a day filled with hugs and high-fives produced even more of those, along with tears of joy.

Plus, first-year Free State and Lawrence gymnastics coach Danielle Hayes said, the Firebirds were stoked to learn they had beaten second-place Olathe East, which had all-around champion Allison Meads, by 3.9 points.

“I think they knew they were gonna win,” Hayes said of Free State’s gymnasts. “I just think they didn’t realize how much they were gonna win by.”

Much earlier in the day, the Free State gymnasts weren’t feeling nearly as confident.

Chiefs face unproven Raiders QBs OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) — Jason Campbell’s broken collarbone easily could have derailed what appeared to be a promising season for the Oakland Raiders.

Instead of putting his team’s hopes on the arm of backup Kyle Boller, coach Hue Jackson responded boldly and sacrificed some of the future to bring in a quarterback with a much more impressive pedigree in Carson Palmer.

The move shocked many around the NFL and sent a clear message to Jackson’s locker room that he truly does believe in his mantra that “the time is now.�

The answer to whether the deal to send a 2012 first-round pick and a second-rounder in 2013 that could become another first if the Raiders make it to the AFC title game in one of the next two years will pay off won’t come for a little bit.

But the first test is today when the Raiders (4-2) host the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs (2-3) in their final game before their bye.

California, Palmer has had to rush his way back into playing form.

Oakland is counting on Palmer to carry on from where Campbell left off before getting hurt last week against Cleveland. After eight straight years without a winning record, the Raiders finally appear to have turned the corner behind Darren McFadden’s running, speedy, big-play receivers on the outside and an improving defense that has done a better job stopping the run the past two weeks.

That’s why Jackson was willing to pay such a high price to get Palmer, the quarterback he believed could lead the Raiders back to the playoffs for the first time since winning the AFC championship in 2002. “It just shows you that Hue definitely wants to win,� receiver Jacoby Ford said. “He’s going to

put us in the right position to win and he’s going to bring the right guys in to win. He’s competitive.

We’re all behind him as far as being competitive.�

While the Raiders are adjusting to life without their starting quarterback, the Chiefs have had plenty of practice so far this season with dealing with serious to significant players.

They lost tight end Tony Moeaki in preseason, Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry in the season opener and All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles in Week 2 to season-ending knee injuries.

The Chiefs are preparing for both Palmer and Boller but know that the key to the Oakland offense remains a running game that has averaged 168.2 yards rushing per game against Kansas City the last three years.

base umpire Ron Kulpa’s blown call helped the Cardinals score four times in the fourth for a 5-0 lead. The crowd at Rangers Ballpark went silent when Pujols started swinging for the fences, and beyond. His three-run shot in the sixth rattled the windows of the club level in left field.

Game 4 is tonight, with Derek Holland starting for the Rangers against Edwin Jackson. It will be the back half of a St. Louis-Texas style doubleheader — earlier in the day, the Rams play the Dallas Cowboys right across the parking lot.

This game had an NFL score, too, for much of the evening. The teams combined for 23 runs and 28 hits — at Busch Stadium, they teamed for eight runs and 23 hits in two games. “You leave a ball up in this park it’s going to carry a little more than it does in St. Louis,� Pujols said.

Good-luck charm Allen Craig homered for St. Louis and Yadier Molina drove in four runs. The Cardinals broke it open by scoring four times in the fourth, three more in the fifth and four in the sixth.

Adrian Beltre kept mashing for the Texas, getting four hits and driving in four runs.

Pujols, however, had the defining game of his career. Good timing, too, as he heads into free agency.

The big slugger connected off Alexi Ogando in the sixth, hit a two-run drive off Michael Gonzalez in the seventh and tagged

WASHINGTON — Matt Besler scored in the 54th minute to lift Sporting Kansas City to a 1-0 victory over D.C. United on Saturday night, earning the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Sporting (13-9-12), which closed the season with a fivematch unbeaten run, will play a two-leg conference semifinal against the higher remaining seed from next week’s wild card round.

United, eliminated from playoff contention with a draw against Portland last Wednesday, finished 0-5-1 in its last six matches.

Besler scored on a turnaround shot on a rebound effort following Kei Kamara’s corner kick header off the post for the only goal of the match. Replays appeared to show that Omar Bravo tapped the rebound away from D.C.’s Austin Da Luz and toward Besler, though Bravo was not credited with an assist.

Two tied at Disney LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA. — Justin Leonard chipped in three times for birdies in a span of five holes to help salvage a 2-under 70.

Webb Simpson dodged a bullet in his attempt to win the money title. Luke Donald, who needs to finish at least second to overtake him, got within three shots of the lead until a three-putt double bogey on the 14th hole. Simpson wound up one shot ahead of Donald going to the last day.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fell from a tie for fifth place to a tie for 17th Saturday after posting a 1-over 73. Woodland is now six shots back of the leader.

League considers more UK games

LONDON — The NFL is considering a plan to have a few teams play regularly in Britain to build an overseas following — part of the league’s evaluation of whether a franchise could be permanently based in London.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday the league is looking into whether such a scenario would “advance our cause here by growing the fan base quicker.� He is talking to several teams about becoming regulars in the British capital, a development he thinks would be “very powerful and lead us to what we ultimately would like to do — have a franchise here in London.�

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Papapetrou chooses UT

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Ioannis Papapetrou, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound senior basketball shooting guard from Florida Air Academy in Melbourne, Fla., on Saturday orally committed to play basketball at Texas.

Papapetrou, who averaged 22 points and seven rebounds a game last season, chose UT over Kansas University at a rally celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the school.

“He said Kansas is his dream school, but he fell in love with Texas (on visit last weekend),” Air Academy coach Aubin Goporo said Saturday. “He said Kansas is a great school and they did a great job recruiting him. He said it was a hard choice, but he chose Texas.”

Papapetrou visited KU for the Sept. 24 Legends of the Phog exhibition game. After visiting UT, the unranked Papapetrou, who is originally from Greece, canceled visits to Alabama, Florida and George Mason.

Papapetrou is the son of former European pro basketball player Argiris Papapetrou.

“My dad said, ‘You do what

is best for you,’’’ Papapetrou told Florida Today. “I felt like that was Texas.”

Texas assistant Rob Lanier was at Florida last season.

Florida Today said he played a major role in the decision.

“He was my guy,” Papapetrou said. “But the biggest thing is I felt they had everything I needed academically and basketball-wise.”

Here’s ESPN.com’s scouting report on Papapetrou, written on Sept. 20: Strengths: Native of Greece who is the owner of a physically strong body.

Scouts got to see him in the spring of 2011 as a member of Nike Team Florida. Can play from the high post to the wing. Will drive his man deep and seems to have a strong basketball IQ. Very much a scrappy type of player with some range to 3-point land.

Weaknesses: He struggled with the pace and style of AAU basketball; we don’t have a high school evaluation to go by. Athletically appears to be average at best. Can he guard athletic small forward would be a legitimate question.

Bottom Line: Plays high school basketball for a good

teacher especially of foreign players — and he’s got somewhat of an international reputation. Likely a rock solid mid-major prospect who would be viewed as a rotation player in time for a bigger league team. !

Tarczewski update: Kaleb Tarczewski, a 7-foot senior center from St. Mark’s High in Southborough, Mass., who has a final two of KU and Arizona, was one of several prospects scheduled to attend Arizona’s Red-Blue basketball game on Saturday. Also in Tucson were current U of A commits Brandon Ashley, Grant Jerrett and Gabe York. Prospects in the Class of 2013 in Tucson were slated to be Eric Cooper, Stephen Domingo, Keith Frazier and Jaron Hopkins. Former Arizona players who attended the game between current Wildcat players, according to the Tucson Citizen: Michael Dickerson, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Jerryd Bayless, Derrick Williams, Andre Iguodala, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Jason Terry. Tarczewski has not set a timetable for choosing KU or U of A.

fraction of a point against FSHS once earlier in the year and kept the eventual state champions from going unbeaten in 2011.

When Olathe East led by a slim margin early in the competition Saturday afternoon, Bartle said, the Firebirds started doubting themselves.

“We thought Olathe East was gonna beat us,” she recalled after finishing fifth in all-around points.

Hayes said the team got together and took a look at the big picture after the first two events — which still featured top-five finishes from Bartle in the vault and parallel bars and Zaitz in the vault — didn’t go exactly as they had hoped.

“We kind of had to take a step back after our first two events,” the coach said.

“We were beating ourselves up, down on ourselves, not thinking it was going the way we wanted it to go.”

With that discussion, Zaitz said, the Firebirds got over feeling down.

“We talked about how you

should just put stuff behind you, not dwell on the past, basically,” she said after a hugely successful day that put her second all-around to Meads.

What followed was a pair of performances that led to Free State’s title. On the balance beam, Soderberg took second, Zaitz was third and Bartle finished fifth. Later, in their final event of a long day, Zaitz and Bartle grabbed second and third place in the floor exercise and Soderberg finished eighth.

Juniors Zaitz and Soderberg, as well as freshman Bartle, their coach said, made sure to pick each other up and finish the day strong with the help of Moran and Johnson.

“They had a really good day,” Hayes said. “They feed off of each other.”

Considering the program didn’t have a coach and Free State wasn’t even sure if there was enough interest to have a gymnastics team back in August, Saturday marked the conclusion of quite a remarkable run for the gymnasts.

“We had no idea they were going to step up and take over the program,” Hayes said, before thinking ahead with a wide grin. “They’re all

Like its counterpart, the LHS program survived. Lawrence went to state with the help of its gymnasts, Wendy Hamm, Amanda Mehl, Cambry Lynch, Lindsey Fangman, McKenzie Olson and Allison Williams, and finished 12th in the team standings.

Kansas State fans’ taunt rings true in repeat rout

After punting away its first possession, Kansas State scored on its next eight, including seven touchdowns, in a streak that reached well into the third quarter. … In contrast, Kansas punted away its first four possessions, and though it scored TDs on its final two drives of the first half, had its first six second-half possessions ended with two fumbles and four straight punts.

Members of Kansas State’s marching band — and several thousand purple-clad fans standing in the southeast stands of Memorial Stadium — chanted “Just Like Last Year” on Saturday afternoon as the clock expired in the Wildcats’ 59-21 football victory over rival Kansas University.

The win was, indeed, eerily similar to KSU’s 59-7 pounding of the Jayhawks 373 days ago, also in Lawrence.

“For me, a win feels good, whether it’s by one point or 100 points,” KSU junior quarterback Collin Klein said after rushing for 92 yards off 13 carries, scoring four touchdowns and completing 12 of 19 passes for a career-high 195 yards and one score.

“My hat is off to KU. They are a tough team. Obviously they are struggling right now. They looked

better than people sometimes give them credit for,” Klein added.

The Wildcats (7-0, 4-0) resembled a team in a different dimension than KU (2-5, 0-4), which has been buried, 118-28, by the ’Cats the past two years.

“We never approach it that it’s about the other team,” said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, who improved to 16-4 lifetime versus KU. “For us, it’s all about us, about playing as well as we possibly can.”

Snyder was asked how he kept his team — which outgained KU 466 yards to 288 — so focused with a huge game against Oklahoma looming Saturday in Manhattan.

“We whip up on them (players) if they don’t stay that way. We have a hickory switch that I use,” Snyder joked.

“No ... they are just good young guys, and they want to succeed.

They have had some success and believe in the process. You can make anything happen if you be-

lieve in what you are doing and prepare yourself. That’s the key for them ... to prepare yourself so you can play with that kind of belief and confidence.

“It’s truly one thing at a time.

We’ve not talked about who we are playing next week. We didn’t even after the ballgame. We are not good enough to be looking five weeks ahead, two weeks ahead or even one week ahead.”

Snyder credited several thousand KSU fans and the Wildcat band for their support.

“They helped us like they always do — at home and on the road,” he said.

By the start of the fourth quarter, several hundred KSU students occupied KU’s student section on the east side of the stadium.

KU’s fans had fled from the premises with the Wildcats up, 5214, after three. The KSU players sprinted over and greeted those fans, as well as those seated near the band, following the final gun.

“By and large, we played well,” Snyder said. “The University of Kansas is a very fine offensive football team. They have good balance in their offense. They can throw it. They can run it. They’ve got good offensive linemen. I like those backs, and I think that quarterback is a poised young guy.

They will get better and better.

They have a young football team.

They have some talent on that side.”

None of the ’Cats were gloating after the beatdown.

“They held together pretty well,” senior defensive end Jordan Voelker said. “We were hoping they would throw in the towel if we jumped on them early. They did a good job staying with us the whole game.”

For the Wildcats, it’s now all about Saturday and the Oklahoma game.

“It’s another step,” QB Klein said. “It’s all about coming to practice Monday ready to work.”

KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER D.J. BESHEARS (20) GETS TRIPPED UP on a drive late in the second quarter. another record for a KU opponent. KSU quarterback Collin Klein’s 195 yards passing were a career high. Klein, who added 92 yards and four TDs rushing, topped his previous high of 146 passing yards by throwing for 176 yards in the first half alone.

In addition, Lockett’s five receptions and 110 receiving yards were both career highs, as were the two sacks by K-State defensive end Meshak Williams.

The 59 points were the most scored by KSU since scoring that amount against KU a season ago.

In that one, the Wildcats racked up 470 yards of offense, four more than they tallied Saturday.

Numbers such as those added credibility to the KSU contingent that serenaded exiting KU fans with chants of “Just like last year.”

It wasn’t just the KSU offense that shined Saturday. KU’s powerful rushing game was limited to just 76 yards on 37 carries, and the Jayhawks lost two fumbles.

What’s more, the Jayhawks ran nearly half a dozen plays that went for negative yardage.

“They play hard,” said junior receiver Kale Pick. “They are a really disciplined team. They hustle hard to the ball and try to strip

you every chance they get. They are coached well, and they stay to their assignments and techniques and don’t make any mistakes.”

This summer, many believed KU’s season would produce three or four wins at most. Gill remained more optimistic, so much so that at a pep rally in Prairie Village in August, he responded to a question from a fan about the chances of beating K-State this season, with the following: “This year, we’re gonna get the last laugh. That’s hearing it from me and my football players.”

Oops.

With 27 minutes to play Saturday, the number of purple shirts in the KU student section outnumbered the number of blue shirts.

The only thing that topped the purple? Silver, as in the color of the Memorial Stadium bleachers.

“When the score’s like that, and it just starts rolling for them, it’s gotten to the point where you expect it,” said KU sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon, asked about seeing mostly purple in the KU student section in the third quarter. “Yeah, you want our fans to stay, but when we put on a performance like that, you can’t be wrong by leaving.

That’s understandable.”

Second Quarter 14:55 — Klein 6 run. Cantele kick. On the first play of the second quarter, KSU opened a two-touchdown lead on Klein’s 12th TD run of the season. The number leads the Big 12.

KSU’s drive covered 35 yards in five plays and took 1:46. (KSU 14, KU 0).

9:31 — John Hubert 5 run. Cantele kick.

After the K-State defense held KU to a threeand-out on its first drive of the second quarter, the Wildcats marched 77 yards in seven plays and 3:55. (KSU 21, KU 0).

5:01 — James Sims 2 run. Alex Mueller kick.

KU showed some life with this 11-play, 63-yard drive that took 4:24. Quarterback Jordan Webb hit freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd for a couple of big gains, and the Jayhawks also converted a fourth-and-one inside the KSU 10 to keep the drive alive. (KSU 21, KU 7).

2:10 — Klein 2 run. Cantele kick. Klein added to his Big-12-leading rushing touchdown total at the end of an eight-play, 76-yard drive that took 2:45. The big play of the drive came early, on third-down, when Klein hit Hubert for eight yards. The pass came up short of the first down but a face-mask penalty on Malcolm Walker kept the drive moving. (KSU 28, KU 7).

0:14 — D.J. Beshears 13 pass from Jordan Webb. Mueller kick. All 11 plays on KU’s twominute drive were passes, with Webb completing nine, including five in a row at one point.

Beshears caught three balls for 35 yards on the drive, which spanned 78 yards and 1:50.

(KSU 28, KU 14).

0:00 — Anthony Cantele 26 field goal. KU kicked off with 14 seconds remaining and promptly gave up a 48-yard pass from Klein to Tyler Lockett, which set up the field goal.

KU was booed off the field as the teams went to the locker rooms. (KSU 31, KU 14).

Third Quarter 14:47 — Tyler Lockett 97 kickoff return.

Cantele kick. It took all of 13 seconds for K-State to add to its lead in the second half.

(KSU 38, KU 17).

13:53 — Klein 1 run. Cantele kick. A fumble on the exchange between Webb and running back Tony Pierson was recovered by K-State inside the KU 10-yard line. Two plays later, Klein scored his fourth rushing TD of the day.

The drive covered eight yards, 42 seconds and two plays. (KSU 28, KU 7).

10:33 — Lockett 19 pass from Klein. Cantele kick. A Sims fumble near midfield set up the Wildcats’ inside KU territory yet again. Six plays, 48 yards and 2:29 later, the Wildcats went over the 50-point mark. (KSU 52, KU 14).

Fourth Quarter 9:17 — Lamur Sammuel 11 run. Cantele kick.

For the second time in three weeks, a KU opponent turned to its back-up QB and watched him perform almost as well as the starter.

Sammuel’s TD run capped a 10-play, 74-yard drive that milked 5:31. (KSU 59, KU 14).

0:01 — Jimmay Mundine 2 pass from Quinn Mecham. Mueller kick. KU’s final score came with reserve QB Quinn Mecham running the show. The Jayhawks drove 72 yards in 13 plays and 3:09 to tack on a third touchdown.

(KSU 59, KU 21).

Zenger vows ‘fix’ to come

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Discouraged by yet another lopsided loss by the Kansas University football team, Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger spoke briefly after Saturday’s 59-21 loss to in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium.

“I don’t expect any player, coach, administrator, fan or alum to accept today’s performance or the performances in recent weeks,” Zenger said. “We will get this thing fixed.”

Asked when that fix might come, Zenger expanded his statement and indicated that second-year coach Turner Gill at least would be allowed to finish out the season.

“We continue to evaluate the program on a week-byweek basis at the University of Kansas,” Zenger continued. “We will never make a complete evaluation until the season is over and the body of work is in.”

Asked after the game if he was concerned about his future at KU, Gill continued to push his slogan.

“I’m here to coach and teach,” he said. “I still believe in my ability to coach. I still believe in my ability to develop. I believe in this staff’s ability to teach and develop.

I feel good about it. It’s just taken a little bit longer time to get things done.”

The Jayhawks (2-5 overall, 0-4 Big 12) play Saturday at Texas.

remaining conference members. A combined fee of $32 million is as good a guess as any. That’s $4 million per member. Gill has $6 million left on his contract after this season.

A pool of donors will be counted on to come up with the rest. If they do, that’s a sign they won’t make Zenger pay for Perkins’ excesses.

But when? Nothing will happen during the season because mid-season moves, especially with classy coaches, lack class.

Zenger made it clear in a postgame statement that this mess will be fixed, and the only logical way to interpret that is that if Gill doesn’t fix it himself in the remaining five weeks of the season, the AD will by replacing the football coach.

The scripts in four of the past five weeks (Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas State) varied little: decent first half; the door viciously slammed on KU’s fingers in the third quarter. Oklahoma State varied, dominating the Jayhawks immediately and mercifully slamming on the brakes before halftime.

The third-quarter score the past five weeks: opponents 80, Kansas 7. That sort of a statistic happens in big-time sports about as often as a school helps its most hated rival to dig itself out of a crater.

With each third-quarter disappearing act, more and more embarrassed boosters have vowed to stop donating to the athletic department if either a drastic change in performance or in the coach himself doesn’t take place.

Behind the scenes, a prominent, highly respected alum has tried to calculate the cost of not replacing the coach (withheld donations, projected decline in ticket sales, etc.) to compare it to the cost of replacing him.

Clearly, the wheels are in motion for a change.

If Gill’s team doesn’t right itself and a change is made,

“They have good balance in their offense, and they can throw it and run it. They have good offensive linemen.

I like those backs, and I think that quarterback (Jordan Webb) is a poised young guy. They are going to get better and better because they have some talent on that side, but right now they are a young football team.”

Inexperience isn’t an excuse for a quick barrage of defensive and special-teams blunders: allowing a 48-yard pass play on the final play from scrimmage of the first half, a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown on the first play of the second half, and committing three penalties before the first snap of the second half.

It’s difficult to fathom a football team that can cram that much undisciplined slop into 32 seconds of game clock can right itself in five weeks.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

Olathe East knocks out Free State, Lawrence

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

OLATHE — Olathe East volleyball is going to state, and it had to go through both Lawrence teams to get there.

In the first round, it was eighth-seed Lawrence High which gave No. 1 O-East a bit of a scare, but lost, 25-23, 2624. In the sub-state A championship, O-East also ended fourth-seed Free State High’s season, 25-16, 25-17.

LHS (12-22) entered the tournament as the bottom seed, but didn’t look like it against the top-seeded Hawks. LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said her team knows how to peak at the right time.

“They played their best volleyball tonight,” Magnuson said. “It just didn’t go our way.”

Senior Kelsey Kilburn said her last game as a Lion was a tough one to bear because the team was so close and playing as well as it could play. But in postseason play, there are no moral victories.

“It if wasn’t sub-state, I’d be happy with our performance,” Kilburn said.

In the second set, with their season on the line, the Lions were tied 24-24 with the Hawks, but Olathe East scored two consecutive points to end the match. Kilburn said the team never felt the pressure of taking down the top team when it got to that point.

“I believed we would win both of those games all the way up until the ref said it was over,” Kilburn said.

The worst part for Magnuson is that she is going to miss coaching her players.

“They’re such a good group of kids, and they’re so much fun to work with,” she said. “I don’t want this season to end.”

The Lions have had several games this year that have been decided by two points, the difference in each of these games. Even though the season is over, Magnuson wants next year’s seniors — Zoe Reed, Alexis Mountain, Brea May, Krista Costa and Monica Howard — to learn

FREE STATE’S SAMANTHA LANDGREBE REACTS following the Firebirds’ loss to top-seeded Olathe East in the championship match of the Class 6A sub-state volleyball tournament Saturday at Olathe East High School. from this postseason experience.

“I hope over the summer they figure out what to do with those two points,” Magnuson said. “And I think they will.”

FSHS (21-15) played No. 5 Olathe North in the first round and came out firing, winning 25-16, 25-21.

Senior Samantha Landgrebe said the loss in the second match against O-East wasn’t from a lack of energy.

“We brought that intensity to the second match, and we put up a great fight,” she said, holding back tears. “I just wish it wasn’t over.”

Senior Brie Mingus said the Firebirds were better than they showed, but the Hawks were just too much at times.

“They knew where to hit the ball,” Mingus said. “We

were there, we just didn’t get there quick enough.”

The Firebirds had trouble keeping pace in the first set, but adjusted in the second.

It was 14-all when an 11-3 run

by O-East decided the match.

Landgrebe said the Hawks had more focus down the stretch.

“We both had the physical aspect,” she said, “but they came with the mental game.”

Both Landgrebe and Mingus said the program is in good hands, with several juniors — Katy Davis, Shelby Holmes, Molly Ryan and Logan Hassig, to name a few — looking to step into leading roles next year.

But for right now, especially for the seniors, the ending is bitter, coming one match short of state.

“We’re just going to miss volleyball,” Mingus said.

TEXAS TECH WIDE RECEIVER ALEX TORRES, RIGHT, carries a Seth Doege pass into the end zone for a touchdown in front of Oklahoma defensive back Gabe Lynn in the second quarter Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Tech snaps OU’s 39-game home streak NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — Seth Doege threw for 441 yards and connected with Alex Torres on three of his four touchdown passes, and Texas Tech snapped No. 3 Oklahoma’s 39-game home winning streak with 41-38 victory Saturday night.

About 2 hours after No. 4 Wisconsin lost, a second topfive team went down on the first day of the college foot-

ball season that really shook the rankings.

Doege carved up an Oklahoma defense missing three starters, guiding the Red Raiders (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) to their biggest win yet under second-year coach Tommy Tuberville. He pulled off a feat that Mike Leach couldn’t accomplish in his 10 years in charge in Lubbock, Texas, and Tech became just the

third team to beat OU coach Bob Stoops at home.

The Sooners are now 75-3 on Owen Field in Stoops’ 13 years.

Oklahoma State and TCU are responsible for the other losses.

Landry Jones ended up with 412 yards passing and five touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to rally Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) back from a sluggish start and save its unbeaten season.

ROUNDUP

OSU roughs up Mizzou The Associated Press

No. 6 Oklahoma State 45, Missouri 24 COLUMBIA, MO. — Even without its starting wide receivers, Oklahoma State had plenty left on offense. The Cowboys’ big-play defense stepped up, too.

Joseph Randle scored a career-best four touchdowns, two on runs that capitalized on an interception and fumble recovery by Shaun Lewis, as No. 6 Oklahoma State remained unbeaten and ended Missouri’s 10-game home winning streak with a 45-24 victory on Saturday.

“This place will get kind of rowdy if you let it,” quarterback Brandon Weeden said.

“Anytime you get them out of their seats and headed to the exits, that’s huge.”

Missouri quarterback James Franklin committed four turnovers in the second half: three interceptions and a lost fumble at the Oklahoma State 4.

“I know that I didn’t play the best,” Franklin said. “And it’s frustrating. But being sad about it isn’t going to do anything about it.”

Randle had 138 yards on 14 carries and scored on runs of 16, 59 and 12 yards. He also caught a 13-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.

“He’s a big play waiting to happen,” Weeden said. “The guy is explosive. Without looking at the tape, he’s got to be our MVP.” Weeden had three touchdown passes after the opening snap of the second quarter.

Lewis’ interception and fumble recovery helped the Cowboys (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) pull away and win their ninth in a row on the road despite injuries to both starting wide receivers.

They’re 7-0 for just the third time in school history, also doing it in 2008 and 1945.

A major reason: They’ve forced 22 turnovers the last five games.

No. 1 LSU 45, No. 19 Auburn 10 BATON ROUGE, LA. — It didn’t matter who was launching long passes to Rueben Randle, and it certainly didn’t matter that LSU was missing three key players.

Randle caught scoring passes of 42 yards from Jordan Jefferson and 46 yards from Jarrett Lee, and LSU once again overcame off-thefield distractions in style with a over Auburn on Saturday.

LSU was without star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon — all suspended one game for violating the team’s drug policy. They watched the game on TV, teammates said, after being told to stay away from Tiger Stadium.

No. 9 Oregon 45, Colorado 2 BOULDER, COLO. — Playing without Darron Thomas and LaMichael James, Oregon bulldozed injury-riddled Colorado.

The Ducks lost none of their quick-strike scoring ability without their injured quarterback and running back. Thomas was out due to a knee injury, and James missed his second straight game while recovering from a dislocated elbow.

No. 10 Arkansas 29, Mississippi 24 OXFORD, MISS. — Tyler Wilson threw for 232 yards and rushed for two touchdowns, and Arkansas rallied from an early 17-point deficit to beat Mississippi.

Arkansas (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) continues its best start under fourth-year coach Bobby Petrino, staying in the mix in the loaded Western Division that includes LSU and Alabama. Dennis Johnson rushed for 160 yards on 15 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown.

Joe Adams caught four passes for 124 yards.

Forgiving bad mom, aunt a struggle Dear Annie: I’m very intelligent. Unfortunately, I was raised by a neglectful mother and her hateful, abusive unmarried sister. Trouble at home led to trouble at school, resulting in multiple expulsions that hindered my education. My father was out of the picture, as my mother is only interested in men who use her and leave her.

I am in my 30s now and live an unhappy, discontented life. I have zero selfesteem due to the constant abuse and belittlement at the hands of my aunt. I know if my intellect had been properly nurtured, I could have a job doing something I love in the field of astronomy or engineering. Instead, I do menial labor and don’t really get along with my colleagues, as our backgrounds are so different.

While I am now on speaking terms with both my mother and aunt, I find that I am unable to forgive them. It would feel like letting the bad guys win. I blame them for my unhappiness, and this occasionally causes me to blow up at them.

My mother refuses to speak of the past, and my aunt told me that people overcome abuse, and if I couldn’t, it meant there was one more thing wrong with me. The fact that they are

And not every therapist is a good fit. But if you stick with some type of counseling, it can truly help you move forward. Please try again.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are both 80. For our entire married life, I have handled our finances. I am now, at this late date, quite concerned as to how my wife would manage if I were to die before her. Who do I talk to about assisting a survivor with the anniesmailbox@comcast.net many details resulting from a spouse’s passing? —Georgia unwilling to budge an inch Dear Georgia: Too many makes any attempt to work married couples wait until this out pointless. a spouse dies before being I tried therapy, but haven’t found a therapist who seems honest and genuine. I feel mentally trapped and unable to progress. Please help. — Walking Dead in NYC Dear NYC: You got a rotten deal, but letting it control your future won’t help you.

Your aunt is never going to be kind, because she considers you competition for her sister’s affection and loyalty, and your mother is too weak to be your ally.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean they “win.” It is not about them. It is a way for you to get beyond the misery and blame and forge a happier life. For some people, therapy can seem awkward and insincere when you first begin, especially if you are not ready to let go of the past.

‘Time’ might not be for everyone The beauty of fairy tales is their simplicity. No matter how fantastic, there is an urgency to their contrived reality.

Alter that too much, and they become ponderous and, at times, ridiculous. This is the problem and the promise of “Once Upon a Time” (8 p.m., ABC), an elaborate new fantasy series.

Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison, “House”) is one tough cookie. She’s a bail bondsman, first seen trapping and pummeling a thief and deadbeat dad — the polar opposite of a Prince Charming.

Her world unravels when Henry (Jared Gilmore), the boy she gave up for adoption, tracks her down and relates an incredible story.

His town of Storybrooke is actually the mystical dwelling place of dozens of fairy-tale characters, trapped there by Snow White’s Evil Queen. They’re stuck in the suburbs, stuck in time and, to make matters worse, don’t even know who they are.

Only Henry knows. And we know, too, because half of “Time” takes place in flashbacks to fairy land, where a battle between Good and Evil has just begun.

Henry is convinced that Emma, his mother, is really the deliverer, or savior, if you will. She finds this hard to believe, but we who are in on the backstory know it to be true.

Much like the “Lord of the Rings” movies, “Time” depends heavily on special effects and leans toward the allegorical. ‘‘Time” seems especially designed to counteract the powerful spell of sports programming. Football and World Series baseball games don’t exist in its magical forest. In short, “Once Upon a Time” will probably hold little appeal for adult males. Whether enough other viewers turn out for this elaborate fable remains to be seen.

In many ways, it reminds me of an older ABC experiment, “Pushing Daisies,” a high-concept romance that did not exactly flourish. For what it’s worth, “Once Upon a Time” is much better than “Grimm,” a fairy tale-themed police procedural that makes its debut Friday on NBC. Stay tuned.

Tonight’s other highlights

Game Four of the World Series (8 p.m., Fox).

The Saints host the Colts on “Sunday Night Football” (8:15 p.m., NBC).

Stylists attempt magical makeovers on the new series “Glam Fairy” (8 p.m., Style).

A suicide eliminates a witness on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS).

“Case Histories” continues on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (9 p.m., PBS).

A dangerous search for medical supplies on “The Walking Dead” (9 p.m., AMC).

Nucky surprises his rivals with an invitation on “Boardwalk Empire” (9 p.m., HBO), just renewed for a third season.

A horse of a different color on “Dexter” (9 p.m., Showtime).

A tough-as-nails former beauty queen opens a women-only gym in the new series “Wicked Fit” (9 p.m., Style).

Brody’s peculiar tics are exposed on “Homeland” (10 p.m., Showtime).

One client too many on “Hung” (10 p.m., HBO).

For Sunday, Oct. 23: This year your friends play a big role in at least one facet of your life. If you are single, a friend could be instrumental in the beginning of a relationship, or a friendship could turn into something more.

If you are attached, work on the friendship between you. Use care with your words, as they come off more sarcastic than you intended. Virgo is a pal.

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 want to complete a project, yet your very social friends keep interfering. There are several solutions; consider reprioritizing. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Handle an errand early, as you will want to free yourself up. Meet friends for a late lunch or any type of gathering that interests you. Tonight: First decide who you would like to be with.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Tension builds, and there is little you can do to minimize it. Don’t overthink an emotional problem; rather, open up to new possibilities.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Stay centered.

A child could be out of whack. Ask yourself why.

A new friend might feel insecure. Tonight: Lose some self-discipline; act like a teenager again.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you need to say something, do it in the morning. Later, you might not be as conscious, as you toss yourself into the activity of the moment.

Tonight: Fun doesn’t have to break the bank.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Please note a major energy change. You might be happy to be a hermit in the a.m., but by the afternoon you decide “no way!” Tonight: Where the fun is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner dominates your plans. You cannot really say that you mind. In fact, dote on this person. You don’t always get time like this together.

Conflicted Iraqis face future without U.S. troops Stats in new books show less violence around the world

By Lara Jakes and Rebecca Santana Associated Press

BAGHDAD — For the first time in decades, Iraqis face a future on their own, with neither Saddam Hussein’s iron fist nor the United States’ military might to hold them together. This has been both their dream and nightmare: They wanted American troops (the occupiers) to go, but they wanted American troops (the protectors) to stay.

Now many fear an increase in violence, growing Iranian influence and political turmoil after President Barack Obama’s definitive announcement that all U.S. forces will leave by the end of the year.

In conversations with The Associated Press, Iraqis across the political, religious and geographic spectrum on Saturday questioned what more than eight years of war and tens of thousands of Iraqi and U.S. lives lost had wrought on their country. They wondered how their still struggling democracy could face the challenges ahead.

“Neither the Iraqis nor the Americans have won here,” said Adnan Omar, a Sunni from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.

Rifaat Khazim, a Shiite from the southern city of Basra, said, “I do not think that this withdrawal will bring anything better to Iraq or that Iraqi leaders will be able to achieve stability and security in this country. Most of the Iraqis yearn now for Saddam’s time. Now, Iraq is defenseless in the face of the threats by the neighboring countries.”

Celebration, apprehension Across the country there was a strong sense of disbelief. The Americans, having spent hundreds of billions of dollars, lost nearly 4,500 troops’ lives and built up sprawling bases as big as many Iraqi cities, would never really leave, many Iraqis thought. Some celebrated the exit of foreign occupiers and the emergence of real sovereignty. But there was also an apprehension, almost a sense of resignation, that things will get worse.

U.S. ARMY SOLDIERS STROLL PAST TWO BRONZE BUSTS of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in the Green Zone in Baghdad on the sixth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in this Friday, March 20, 2009, photo. Iraq’s prime minister said Saturday that U.S. troops are leaving Iraq after nearly nine years of war because Baghdad rejected American demands that any U.S. military forces to stay would have to be shielded from prosecution or lawsuits. A day earlier, President Barack Obama had hailed the troops’ withdrawal as the result of his commitment — promised shortly after taking office in 2009 — to end the war that he once described as “dumb.”

Though greatly reduced from the depths of near civil war from 2006 to 2008, shooting and bombings rattle Iraqis daily. Significantly all the elements from those darkest days remain: al-Qaida militants, Shiite militias, Sunni insurgents.

Resentment still simmers among the Sunni Muslim minority over domination by the Shiite majority, Kurds in the north still hold aspirations of breaking away. Despite years of promises of better government services, most of the country gets by on a few hours of electricity a day.

In the eyes of Iraqis, the Americans were both the cause of those woes and the bulwark against them exploding. Many blame the 2003 U.S.led invasion for unleashing all the demons kept bottled up

by Saddam’s dictatorship, and allowing new ones — like alQaida — to slip in.

Yet at the same time, U.S. troop reinforcements helped

It was politically delicate for both Obama and al-Maliki, who each faced widespread opposition from their respective publics to continue a war that was never popular in either nation.

But talks ran aground over Iraqi opposition to giving American troops legal immunity that would shield them from Iraqi prosecution. Legal protection for U.S. troops has always angered everyday Iraqis who saw it as simply a way for the Americans to run roughshod over the country. Many Iraqi lawmakers were hesitant to grant immunity for fear of a backlash from constituents.

“When the Americans asked for immunity, the Iraqi side answered that it was not possible,” al-Maliki said. “The discussions over the number of trainers and the place of training stopped. Now that the issue of immunity was decided and that no immunity to be given, the withdrawal has started.”

rein them in by 2008. Many feel the powerful American presence prevents Iraqi politicians from dragging the country into the worst of sectarian reprisals and hatreds. Few believe Iraqi forces are up to keeping security or can avoid falling into the same sectarian splits.

Politically delicate talks Nearly 40,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq, all of whom will withdraw by Dec. 31, a deadline set in a 2008 security agreement between Baghdad and the administration of thenPresident George W. Bush.

The Obama administration, concerned over continued violence and growing Iranian influence, for much of this year pushed to keep thousands of U.S. troops here in a significant-sized training mission. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other Iraqi officials expressed support of the idea, and they negotiated for months.

WASHINGTON — It seems as if violence is everywhere, but it’s really on the run.

Yes, thousands of people have died in bloody unrest from Africa to Pakistan, while terrorists plot bombings and kidnappings. Wars drag on in Iraq and Afghanistan. In peaceful Norway, a man massacred 69 youths in July. In Mexico, headless bodies turn up, victims of drug cartels.

This month eight people died in a shooting in a California hair salon.

Yet, historically, we’ve never had it this peaceful.

That’s the thesis of three new books, including one by prominent Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker. Statistics reveal dramatic reductions in war deaths, family violence, racism, rape, murder and all sorts of mayhem.

In his book, Pinker writes: “The decline of violence may be the most significant and least appreciated development in the history of our species.”

And it runs counter to what the mass media is reporting and essentially what we feel in our guts.

Pinker and other experts say the reality is not painted in bloody anecdotes, but demonstrated in the black and white of spreadsheets and historical documents.

They tell a story of a world moving away from violence.

In his new book, “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined,” Pinker makes the case that a smarter, more educated world is becoming more peaceful in several statistically significant ways. His findings are based on peer-reviewed studies published by other academics using examinations of graveyards, surveys and historical records: ! The number of people killed in battle — calculated per 100,000 population — has dropped by 1,000-fold over the centuries as civilizations

“

As we get smarter, we try to think up better ways of getting everyone to turn their swords into plowshares at the same time. Human life has become more precious than it used to be.”

— Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist who wrote “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined” evolved. Before there were organized countries, battles killed on average more than 500 out of every 100,000 people. In 19th century France, it was 70. In the 20th century with two world wars and a few genocides, it was 60. Now battlefield deaths are down to three-tenths of a person per 100,000. ! The rate of genocide deaths per world population was 1,400 times higher in 1942 than in 2008. ! There were fewer than 20 democracies in 1946. Now there are close to 100. Meanwhile, the number of authoritarian countries has dropped from a high of almost 90 in 1976 to about 25 now.

Pinker says one of the main reasons for the drop in violence is that we are smarter.

IQ tests show that the average teenager is smarter with each generation. The tests are constantly adjusted to keep average at 100, and a teenager who now would score a 100 would have scored a 118 in 1950 and a 130 in 1910. So this year’s average kid would have been a near-genius a century ago.

And that increase in intelligence translates into a kinder, gentler world, Pinker says.

“As we get smarter, we try to think up better ways of getting everyone to turn their swords into plowshares at the same time,” Pinker said in an interview. “Human life has become more precious than it used to be.”

With death of Gadhafi, an era passes in modern Arab history

By Robert H. Reid Associated Press

CAIRO — He often looked like a comical buffoon, standing before audiences, bedecked in colorful robes, spouting words that most of the world considered nonsense.

Yet the death of Moammar Gadhafi was a milestone in modern Arab history, in some ways more significant than the overthrow of lesser autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt.

Gadhafi was the last of the old-style Arab strongmen — the charismatic, nationalist revolutionaries who rose to power in the 1950s and 1960s, promising to liberate the masses from the shackles of European colonialism and the stultifying rule of the Arab elite that the foreigners left behind after World War II. He was swept aside by a new brand of revolutionary

Lawrence

— the leaderless crowds organized by social media, fed up with the oppressive past, keenly aware that the rest of the world has left them behind and convinced that they can build a better society even if at the moment, they aren’t sure how.

Gadhafi was the last of a generation of Arab leaders such as Gamal Abdel-Nasser of Egypt, Hafez Assad of Syria and Saddam Hussein of Iraq who emerged from poverty, rising to the pinnacle of power either through the ranks of the military or the disciplined, conspiratorial world of underground political organizations.

None of the latter crop of Arab autocrats, including Assad’s son Bashar, Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh and even Egypt’s colorless, ousted president Hosni Mubarak, could rival them in their heyday in terms of charisma,

flair, stature and power.

Their model was Nasser, the towering champion of Arab unity who ousted Western-backed King Farouk in 1952 and inspired Arab peoples with fiery speeches broadcast by Egyptian radio from Iraq to Mauritania.

But Nasser’s dreams of Arab unity and social revival crumbled in defeat in the 1967 ArabIsraeli War, when Israel seized East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Golan Heights of Syria.

Nasser died three years later, and the fellow strongmen left behind led their countries instead into a political swamp of corruption, cronyism and dictatorship now challenged by the Arab Spring.

The hallmark of the Arab strongman was unquestioned power, the use of state media to promote a larger than life image and a ruthless security network that stifled even a

whiff of dissent. That worked in an age before the Internet and global satellite television which opened the eyes of the strongman’s followers to a world without secret police and economic systems run by the leader’s family and cronies.

The Arab political transformation is far from complete. Autocratic rulers are facing challenges from their own people in Yemen and Syria. Bahrain’s Shiite majority is pressing the Sunni monarchy for reform. Rulers in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are maneuvering to contain the Arab Spring.

Iraq is struggling to build a democracy eight years after American-led arms brought down Saddam’s rule.

With Gadhafi’s passing, however, a milestone has been passed. The future belongs to a different style of ruler, whoever it may be.

The death Thursday of Gadhafi, two months after he was driven from power and into hiding, decisively buries the nearly 42-year regime that had turned the oil-rich country into an international pariah and his own personal fiefdom.

Still, there is much work to be done to complete the Arab political transformation.

HORSERADISH, THE SPICY HERB used in a variety of condiments, is easy to grow in Kansas. The roots are the only part of the horseradish plant that is consumed, so soil preparation is important for good yield.

Spice up the garden with horseradish

I

f you like horseradish, you might try producing your own. The herb is easy to grow and survives through the winter in Kansas, so now is the best time to plant it. Horseradish also stores well after harvest.

For those unfamiliar with horseradish, it is an herb with a distinct aroma and flavor. Horseradish is often described as being hot, but the flavor is much different than that of hot peppers or chilies. Horseradish is often found in dips and sauces, as a topping on steak, and is the key ingredient in imitation wasabi. My personal favorite horseradish recipes are horseradish mustard and plain horseradish mixed into mashed potatoes.

The roots are the only part of the horseradish plant that is consumed, so soil preparation is important for good yield. Add compost or organic matter to the garden and work it into the soil before planting. A general rule of thumb

when adding organic matter is to spread one to two inches of material over the soil surface, and mix it in to the soil to a depth of eight to 10 inches.

Test your soil Fertilizer is also best added prior to planting, but a soil test should be done to determine what nutrients are needed in the area. Soil samples can be submitted to your local county Extension office for testing and recommendations. Thanks to a grant from the Douglas County Conservation District, Douglas County residents can test up to 10 samples per year for free, basic analysis only.

Plant horseradish root cuttings three to four inches deep and 12 to 18 inches apart. One or two horseradish plants will probably provide more than enough horseradish for a family. If you miss planting this fall, root cuttings can also be planted in early spring as soon as the ground thaws.

ages the main root to gain size. Also, remove all but the best sprout or crown of leaves. The plant and soil are then returned to its original position.

Generally, the first lifting and stripping should be done when the plant’s leaves reach eight to 10 inches long. The second lifting and stripping should occur about six weeks after the first.

Apply mulch over the soil surface to control weeds. Prairie hay, straw or chopped leaves are examples of mulching materials that work well with horseradish.

Horseradish plants do require a little bit of maintenance. The plants should be lifted and stripped a couple of times during the growing season. Lifting and stripping means to remove the soil around the crown of the plant, raise it up, and remove the small roots on the crown and sides of the main root. This encour-

Fall harvest Horseradish is harvested in late October or early November, preferably after a hard frost or freeze. To dig roots without damaging plants, dig a trench alongside the row, then loosen plants with a spading fork.

Grasp plant leaves and gently pull the plants towards the trench and out of the ground.

Cut the largest roots from the plant for use.

Smaller side and bottom roots can be replanted.

Roots for planting can also be wrapped and refriger-

ated for planting at a later date.

After harvesting, wrap horseradish roots in darkcolored plastic (roots wrapped in clear plastic may discolor from light exposure) and store in the refrigerator or freezer. Fresh horseradish will usually maintain its flavor in the refrigerator for four to six weeks. If frozen, horseradish keeps about six months.

To use harvested horseradish, peel or scrape the roots first. Then use a grater or blender to shred the roots. The University of Illinois recommends filling a blender halfway with diced horseradish roots and adding a small amount of water and ice before grinding.

Add one to two tablespoons of white vinegar, a halfteaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of sugar.

White vinegar is added to ground horseradish root to stop the enzymatic activity that builds heat. For hotter horseradish, wait a few

minutes after grinding to add vinegar. Cider vinegar discolors the horseradish and is not recommended for use. If not using immediately, place the prepared horseradish in tightly sealed containers for storage.

If you prefer, grated horseradish can be added directly to food or placed in lemon juice and served immediately.

The origins of horseradish as a name are partially unknown. Some researchers believe it may have come from an adaptation of the German name for the plant, meerretich. Meerretich means sea radish, and the plant grew wild in European coastal areas.

The name horseradish first appeared in print in 1597.

Kovel’s Antiques: ‘Haunted’ items more playful than malicious

By Terry Kovel

We have heard many stories about “haunted antiques” through the years, and we often ask readers to send us their stories. Clocks seem to be the most likely to be haunted. One reader’s mother bought a modern sunburst wall clock in 1952.

It stayed on the kitchen wall.

In 1982 her father died, and in 1992 her mother began dating.

Whenever the boyfriend came over, the clock would make a “grunting” noise. According to the reader “Mother married and her new husband asked that the clock be thrown out, but I put it in the attic. In 2006 they divorced and I brought the clock into the kitchen. It is quiet now. Mother said she should have listened to the clock.” Several families reported having wind-up clocks that started ticking or chiming when family members got to-

gether weeks after a funeral.

But the strangest story we heard was about an antique glass necklace our reader inherited from her husband’s family. She told us that whenever she wore the necklace, she had an accident involving water — a glass tipped over, a vase broke, a drink was spilled on her, she even fell in a pool.

Then one day her mother-inlaw commented that it was nice to see her wearing her great-aunt’s necklace. Did she know that her aunt was a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic? Haunted antiques seem to be more playful than malicious. No one has told us of a dangerous example. Many have suggested that returning the antique to a better condition or a more comfortable place in the house seems to solve the problem.

Q: I bought an old wooden rocking horse for $50 at a garage sale. It’s 27 inches tall and the rockers are 32 1/2 inches long. The horse stands on a platform that has four metal wheels and two wooden rockers. It has a leather saddle and a real hair tail. I was wondering how I should clean it. Should I use furniture polish?

A: Rocking horses with wheels were popular toys at the turn of the century.

When a child was young, the toy could be used as a rocking horse. When the child was a little older, the rockers were taken off the horse and the child could “ride” the horse on its wheels. You can clean your rocking horse with a damp sponge or cloth with a solution of a mild soap and water. Don’t let the wood

Staying up late meant watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night Flight,â&#x20AC;? an offbeat counterculture show on USA Network â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new cable outlet that usually ran old cartoons and talk shows, in the days before â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burn Noticeâ&#x20AC;? and the 27 iterations of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law and Order.â&#x20AC;? When he was 15, he saw a flier for an underground band heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night Flightâ&#x20AC;? and it brought him to a cinder-block building in the middle of a cornfield just outside of Lawrence.

The band was Washington, D.C., hardcore pioneers Bad Brains and the venue was The Outhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outhouse saved me when I was in high school,â&#x20AC;?

Norman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would get harassed all week, then go to the Outhouse on the weekends and go off. I owe those people who gave me a place to go where I fit in.â&#x20AC;?

Now Norman has a chance to repay the legendary punk rock venue that changed his life. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a documentary about it called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outhouse: The Film 1985-1998.â&#x20AC;?

After announcing the project online, Norman found

that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one with fond memories about the DIY all-ages venue. People are posting fliers and photos from old shows on the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and live video from shows by Helmet, Sin City Disciples and Outhouse mainstays Ultraman are popping up on YouTube.

Jeff Fortier, who promoted shows at the club in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, says one of the attractions to the building was the diversity of its acts, with everything from punk to ska to metal to garage to hardcore and noise bands. In their early days, multi-platinum bands like Nirvana, Green Day, Rancid, White Zombie, Tool and Pantera all played at The Outhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The financial decisions were never easy to make because it was always a leap of faith, but after someone outgrew the venue it would get pretty tough,â&#x20AC;? Fortier says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God for all the metal and indie acts we booked like the Melvins, Helmet and The Jesus Lizard that supported the venue.â&#x20AC;?

If you have a story to tell about how The Outhouse affected your life, Norman wants to know about it. On Nov. 6, the film crew will be at The Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass., from noon to 6 p.m. conducting interviews for the movie. They will also be filming at The Record Bar in Kansas City the day before.

The Nov. 5 filming will be capped with a performance

by Ultraman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want any pictures or fliers people have.

My hope is that we find some great moments during these interviews that we can use in the film. Just because people are famous doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean what they have to say is entertaining,â&#x20AC;? Norman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, people want to hear from members of Fugazi and D.O.A., but the best Outhouse story might be some guy who has two kids and a wife.â&#x20AC;?

Unique venue In 1985, finding out about new bands wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as easy as clicking around on a social network or doing a Google search. During this time, a whole new breed of independent rock band said goodbye to normalcy and hopped in their vans to take their music on the road. Networks were formed through word of mouth and touring circuits were forged one show at a time. When bands reached the middle of the country, places to play were scant.

Three miles east of Mass. on a dirt road, The Outhouse was a place that bands remembered playing.

Several factors made it unique, not the least of which was that it was just outside Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisdiction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so the police pretty much left it alone.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like nothing I had ever experienced,â&#x20AC;? Norman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like all the strange freaky people in one place, and scary as hell when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 15.â&#x20AC;?

No matter which direction you came from, the last couple miles of the drive to the Outhouse were dark and filled with dust. It was hard to see anything, and easy to drive past if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t careful. Once you got there, you paid a couple bucks just to get in the parking lot.

Even though there was no alcohol served in the building, outside it was anything goes. Mohawked and jeanjacketed punk rockers, longhairs with leather coats, and skinheads sporting suspenders either hung out in packs near their cars or congregated around the entrance.

On a good night, a swirling mosh pit would form near the front of the stage, while other kids would hang from the rafters above. The stage was just a foot or two off the ground at the most, and it was easy to get close to the bands. There was no heat either, so sometimes a good turnout crowd had other advantages. Either way, on a cold night, the concrete floor was freezing. And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talk about the bathrooms.

All of these factors just added to the legend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bands talked about The Outhouse long after they played here,â&#x20AC;? says Norman.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen bands play Sandstone, Memorial Hall, Liberty Hall ... if they played The Outhouse, they bring it up and talk about it. The vibe out there was incredible.â&#x20AC;?

In preparation for the movie, Norman has been collecting vintage video footage and traveling all over the country to interview bands that played The Outhouse. This week, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll interview Kevin Seconds from 7 Seconds, and gory shock-rockers Gwar soon after that. Next month, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to D.C. to catch up with Ian MacKaye from Fugazi, and then a week-long trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco will cover more ground and more bands in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any footage of live bands has to have a band member release the footage. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that as being a problem,â&#x20AC;? Norman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went to Detroit to interview Tesco Vee, I was able to hand him a copy of his entire show at The Outhouse. He was thrilled and of course allowed us to use it in the film.â&#x20AC;?

End of an era Much like the disparate music scenes it supported, The Outhouse as it had been eventually had to cease. The building now houses a BYOB strip club and the graffitisprayed walls that were home to some of the rawest music around are now home

EMU show has a scare for the dramatic Lens

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

If you know your horror, you know H.P. Lovecraft.

Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never read a story by the horror master, elements of his work can be found in everything from old drive-in popcorn shows to the newest version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Thing.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, the American author is considered by many to be as instrumental in the canon of horror as Edgar Allan Poe. Even if not everyone read â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Call of Cthulhuâ&#x20AC;? in high school right along with Poeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Raven.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrencians can get their own introduction to Lovecraft in the fifth installment of the EMU Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yearly Horrorshow, entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrorshow V: Last Call of Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;thulhu at the Old Arkham Saloon.â&#x20AC;? The show, which opened Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H., will feature seven short plays adapted from Lovecraft tales, woven together through a common framework.

The result is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canterbury Talesâ&#x20AC;? meets your worst nightmare, says Todd Schwartz, who first suggested a Lovecraft-themed show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be familiar because Lovecraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work sort of purveys the modern horror genre. While people may not be directly familiar with all of Lovecraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, they will recognize the kinds of stories that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telling, be aware of the kinds of stories weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tell-

former executive director the Folly Theater in Kansas City, Mo. During that era, Hancock recorded for Blue Note Records, releasing greats such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maiden Voyageâ&#x20AC;? in 1965 and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speak Like A Childâ&#x20AC;? in 1968. Hancock was asked to leave the quintet after he returned late from his honeymoon. Not long after, he formed his own group and began recording for Warner Bros. Records.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long after that he began incorporating electronic sounds and synthesizers into his work, hiring Dr. Patrick Gleeson to play and program the then-complicated instrument. This was one of the more experimental times in Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alreadyexperimental career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herbie almost more than anyone else you can think of, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covered almost every possible genre of jazz, and before people used the terminology â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fusionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cross-

FOUR NARRATORS IN EMU THEATREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PRODUCTION of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horrorshow V: Last Call of Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;thulhu at the Old Arkham Saloon,â&#x20AC;? meet in a bar scene. Pictured are Quinton Cheney, playing the part of Xander, Liza Pehrson, playing the part of Lydia, Andy Stowers, playing the part of Doc and Chris Haberger, playing the part of detective Eddie Wilson. ing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staples.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, not even all the writers were familiar with Lovecraft from the get-go.

Writer Dan Born, whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superflyâ&#x20AC;? tells of a genius scientist at the mercy of his own monster, had never read Lovecraft before doing his research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was entirely new to him.

I had heard of him before, but I never had read him before we did this,â&#x20AC;? says Born, who had written for two previous shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a book of Lovecraft stories and I just sort of picked through them and it was quite a challenge to pick a story because Lovecraft is a very wordy writer. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in some cases, translate very well to theater and stage.â&#x20AC;?

EMU ran a several-week overâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; he was doing it, so in that sense heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true pioneer and trailblazer,â&#x20AC;? Tatum said.

And while it was Davis who persuaded Hancock to play the Fender Rhodes electric piano when he was still in the quintet, that was the last time in Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prolific career that he needed persuading to embrace a new technology.

His crossover hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rockitâ&#x20AC;? in 1983 was one of the first singles from a mainstream artist to feature scratching. He later won a Grammy for Best R&B Instrumental Performance for that song. And now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopting the same techniques electronic musicians have used to create their beats live for his own music.

Curious nature â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone like Herbie has an insatiable curiosity about the world at large and about the various domains of music as well,â&#x20AC;? said Kansas University professor and longtime jazz writer and enthusiast Chuck Berg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It leads him to listen, listen, listen literally all over the world and then experiment and bring the fruits of

writers workshop to help the playwrights shape their concepts. One of the main difficulties many of the writers faced was how to take Lovecraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works â&#x20AC;&#x201D; written mostly in the first person and with a very wordy structure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and rework them so that they would have all the action and dialogue necessary for the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of the things that we talked about in the workshop was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do you turn a first-person, very wordy, adjective-heavy story into a dramatic piece?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Andy Stowers, who is tagged as a writer, director, producer and actor in Horrorshow V. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And most of the pieces do have some sort of narration or narrator involved in the play.

But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely tried to those experimentations to concert form and to recording form,â&#x20AC;? Berg adds.

Hancock says his curiosity has served him well during his whole life. He has memories of taking apart clocks and disassembling a train set to see how it worked. When he went to college, his original major was electrical engineering, but he eventually changed to music composition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has always led me to being interested in the latest technological developments.

I got my first computer in 1979. It was an Apple II Plus, when they were brand new on the market. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always an early adopter,â&#x20AC;? he says.

His current tour benefits greatly from this trait. His decision to embrace digital recording and computer-assisted playback allows him to control things that were normally out of his hands. Basic tenets of song such as tempo, melody and bass line, can be easily manipulated, on the fly, to his own liking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much that can be done,â&#x20AC;? Hancock says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can really be in the moment with this, which is great.â&#x20AC;?

emphasize action â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showing over telling, those sort of theatrical conventions.â&#x20AC;?

Schwartzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and firsttime playwright Roberta Freund Schwartz found the workshop incredibly useful even though she was already a huge Lovecraft fan and knew exactly what she wanted to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the great things about EMU is that its focus has always been on locally written plays. So, I may be the first one premiering in this show, but we have a writers workshop as well and those people were very helpful at helping me concentrate on the action, the pacing, making sure that everything went off.â&#x20AC;?

The kinks taken care of, the 40-plus people involved with the production say the result is scary fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the shows are really quite scary and imaginative plays and others are really humorous,â&#x20AC;? Born says of the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the advantages of going to a work thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s composed of short plays like this is if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like one, just stick around and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like one, another will come around.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 832-7187.

They are harder to hold steady and may require more light for correct exposures. A good rule to follow in order to avoid camera shake is to maintain shutter speeds equal to, or faster, than the length of your telephoto lens. A minimum shutter speed for a 300 mm would be 1/250th, ideally 1/400th. This helps ensure that you can still hand-hold your camera and not end up with motion blur or camera shake. Cameras with builtin image stabilization can help. The other issue is that consumer-grade cameras like the Lumix, have smaller

to regular helpings of Kid Rock and dancing of another kind.

There were many reasons The Outhouse closed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flooding just made it impossible to continue and the downtown Lawrence scene blew up,â&#x20AC;? says Fortier, the former Outhouse promoter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bottleneck, Granada and Liberty Hall all have heat and well ... it was just time.â&#x20AC;?

When asked about the pervasiveness of alternative music in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, Fortier says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think mainstream is the right word but â&#x20AC;Ś Nirvana becoming popular changed everything.â&#x20AC;?

As for the movie, Norman is getting lots of support from all the people who attended shows, helped out, and spread the word about the venue back in the day.

Only this time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a random flier in a coffee shop or on a light post â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Webbased punk-rock flier archives and a Facebook page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This movie has had many people get behind it to make it happen. We are not trying to leave anyone or anything out. If you feel strongly about one part of the Outhouse story you need to let us know about it,â&#x20AC;? Norman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Ultraman singer] Tim Jamison said in his interview about the Outhouse, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Outhouse is not the building, it is all the people.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

apertures on the telephoto end of their lenses. As you zoom in on a distant subject, reaching super telephoto Nirvana, your aperture is shrinking, requiring more exposure compensation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a photographic Catch-22.

One way to help manage these two issues and increase your chances of success with telephoto lenses is to put your exposure setting on Shutter Priority or TV (time value), and set an appropriate shutter speed to match your telephoto lens. This will maintain a shutter speed that should eliminate camera shake and allow your camera to automatically adjust the aperture to maintain a correct exposure. So go ahead.

Zoom in, watch your light and hold her steady. Next week, we will go wide.

LOS ANGELES — Art Spiegelman has been here before.

At 63, dressed in black jeans, a denim shirt and that ubiquitous vest, he is talking, again, about his graphic memoir “Maus,” the saga of his father Vladek’s experiences during the Holocaust and of Spiegelman’s efforts to get to know that father — to inhabit his story, if you will.

“Maus” was originally published in two parts, the first in 1986 and the second in 1991; it won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992, the first comic to be so honored. Still, for the last two decades, Spiegelman has kept doubling back, reconsidering the project, drawing its mouse-like protagonist into nearly everything.

“I’m blessed and cursed by this thing I made that obviously looms large for me and for others,” he observes on a sunny October morning in Photo by Nadja Spiegelman Beverly Hills, eyes blinking ART SPIEGELMAN, PICTURED IN MAY 2008, says he is “blessed and behind wire-frame glasses as he smokes on the balcony of cursed” by his “Maus” creation, which won a special Pulitzer his room in the Four Seasons Prize in 1992. His latest book is “MetaMaus,” a deconstruction Hotel. “But the result is that I of his classic graphic novel about the Holocaust. can’t do this thing that seems quite easy but that I just can’t do, which is: ‘That’s that, and firing up another cigarette. “I dreds of images, by Spiegelnow I’m working on a new thought ‘Maus’ was going to man and others; there are thing, and it’s a whole other take two years and I’d move charts, page breakdowns, thing.’ I just can’t get out of on with my life.

narrative. “I felt guilty,” he says, “about the success of ‘Maus’ because it was built on so much murder.”

That, of course, is the genius of “Maus,” the way Spiegelman works in all these layers, evoking the Holocaust and its aftermath in his life. Key to this, “MetaMaus” makes clear, was his relationship with Paul Pavel, the therapist who was also a camp survivor and with whom Spiegelman rethought not just guilt or creative issues but, indeed his entire worldview. In “MetaMaus,” he recalls Pavel — who counseled dying AIDS patients — declaring himself a nihilist, a claim Spiegelman found hard to accept. Pavel’s response?

“Well, I decided that behaving ethically was the most nihilistic thing I could do.”

All these years later, Spiegelman still seems transformed by the sentiment, which offered if not meaning then a sense of purpose in a universe that is indifferent when it’s not malevolent. “It was an important perspective,” he says, “for me to deal with the horrors of the history that I was singed by and not have the take-away be: Well, you might as well become an ax murderer, because why not? There are very few ways out of that conundrum.

God has a plan even if I don’t understand it? That one didn’t work for me. Or: We must be ethical creatures. Why? It’s not an ethical place.”

Such questions remain central to “Maus” and “MetaMaus,” which function in a sense as bookends or the opposing lenses of a telescope.

The relationship defines the new book, which comes with a DVD featuring a digital version of the original, enhanced by audio recordings of Spiegelman’s father, research footage from a 1987 trip to Auschwitz, notebooks, studies, documents. There is also a 25th-anniversary edition of “The Complete Maus,” which, Spiegelman notes, is “conformed to ‘MetaMaus,’ with the same spine, same binding, so there’s ‘The Complete Maus’ and then a book the same size, almost exactly the same number of pages, and the two can leak into each other if one wants to go that way.”

Yet most important, perhaps, is another form of leakage — that between Spiegelman, who was in his late 50s when he began the interviews that became “MetaMaus,” and his father, who was only a few years older when his son began to ask him about the Holocaust. “I don’t want to get lost,” Spiegelman says, “in the labyrinth of: First, he did this book that was an interview with his father, and then he did this book that was about the interview with his father. But there is this thing of coming to terms with him.

I became a father myself after he died, and the problems, the differences and similarities, my ability to understand his mindset in a different way, definitely informs this revisiting.”

Rock memoirs here, there, everywhere NEW YORK — What do rock stars do if they don’t burn out or fade away? They write memoirs.

Last week, Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins, announced a book deal with Richard Hell, 62, co-founder of the seminal punk-rock bands Television and The Voidoids. “I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp,” to be published in 2013, promises to recount Hell’s early days in New York and his wild nights at the punk club CBGB, where he hung out with The Ramones, Blondie and The New York Dolls.

The announcement came just days after Rod Stewart inked a contract with Crown Archetype, a division of Random House, and Courtney Love, Hole front woman and Kurt Cobain’s widow, struck a deal with William Morrow. Their tell-alls will appear next year.

Rock ‘n’ roll memoirs did big business in 2010, when Patti Smith pocketed a National Book Award for “Just Kids” and Rolling Stone Keith Richards achieved best-seller status with “Life.”

Books from Steven Tyler and Sammy Hagar also hit the charts.

Since then, publishers have rushed to embrace the trend, signing up Neil Young, Gregg Allman, Pete Townshend and Carole King.

Atwood’s essays smartly reflect on science fiction

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Desiree Kuhns, student, Lawrence “Ghost Hero” by S. J. Rozan.

“I saw it on Goodreads. Other authors I like and follow recommended it. It was good.”

Stimulated by a public exchange of views with Ursula K. LeGuin, Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood has collected her writings and talks on science fiction and its speculative cousins into a smart and often playful book, “In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination.”

Atwood (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) and LeGuin (“The Left Hand of Darkness”) situate themselves as writers on opposite sides of the increasingly permeable membrane between SF and literary fiction, so a piece of this book, which will appeal to contentious people who love genredefining arguments, is about what’s sci-fi and what’s not.

Atwood, who says she’s not a sci-fi writer, is nonetheless a spirited and sometimes playful reader of it, and this collection peaks when she grapples with the works of George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley.

Atwood, who says she’s not a sci-fi writer, is nonetheless a spirited and sometimes playful reader of it, and this collection peaks when she grapples with the works of George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley.

“The twentieth century could be seen as a race between two versions of man-

made Hell — the jackbooted state totalitarianism of Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ and the hedonistic ersatz paradise of ‘Brave New World,’” she writes. Her “Handmaid’s Tale” is deeply indebted to Orwell, down to its concluding historical epilogue. In one of her many smart reflections on Orwell, she writes, “The position of odd man out is always an uneasy one, but the moment we look around and find that there are no longer any odd men among our public voices is the moment of most danger ...”

Reflecting on “Handmaid’s Tale,” she writes that her

rules for creating that novel were simple: “I would not put into this book anything that humankind had not already done, somewhere, sometime, or for which it did not already have the tools.”

In this collection, Atwood also champions several works she believes deserve to be more widely read. In the case of Wells, she turns not to “The War of the Worlds” or “The Time Machine” but to “The Island of Doctor Moreau” (1896), with its vivisectionist trying to create sentient humanoids from animals. She connects this gruesome fable to “The

Tempest,” Darwin, Frankenstein, Nathaniel Hawthorne, “The Ancient Mariner” and the emerging feminism of Wells’ time.

She also visits H. Rider Haggard’s popular adventure novel “She” (1987), whose title character is the original She-who-must-be-obeyed, and whom Atwood calls “a supremely transgressive female who challenges male power.” ‘‘She” has not only led to a dozen or more films and a swatch of pulp fiction, but also fed such literary works as Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” and the fantasy novels of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Atwood also has insightful things to say about works by Marge Piercy, Bryher, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jonathan Swift.

HERBIE HANCOCK: EARLY ADOPTER Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

A MEDIUM TELEPHOTO LENS will make a subject larger in your frame even while photographing from a distance. Good for portraits, this focal length of lens also helps eliminate unwanted background elements and places more emphasis on your subject.

BEHIND THE LENS

Getting close-ups from a distance

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

Most point-and-shoot cameras have zoom lenses that incorporate wide-angle to telephoto lenses. One Panasonic Lumix model has a 24 mm to 384 mm reach. To put this in perspective, our staff’s widest lens is a 24mm and our longest is 300 mm. The 300 mm is a special sports lens. It has a large, fast f2.8 aperture and weighs more than five pounds. The Lumix pocket camera weighs a little more than 7 ounces. You won’t get the same quality or be able to photograph in low light like with our newspaper gear, but the fact that you can put this camera and lens combo in your purse or jacket pocket and hardly notice it is impressive.

If you have cameras or lenses with great zooming capability, it’s good to know how to manage their use. For the next couple of columns I will look at how subject matter, light, location and other elements can influence lens choice.

I’ll divide lenses into lenses categories: Wide-angle (24mm to 35mm), mid-range (50 mm to 85 mm), telephoto (105 mm to 300 mm), super-telephoto (larger than 300 mm) and macro.

In this column I’ll consider the telephoto and super-telephoto lenses together. At work, my telephoto use consists of a 70 mm to 200 mm and occasionally a 300 mm. I reach for these lenses for two reasons.

1. If I’m unable to physically get near a subject, the telephoto lens enables me to bring the subject closer. A grizzly bear across a stream or athletes in the middle of a field are two examples of subjects that would give me reason to grab these lenses.

2. When I want to isolate a subject from its surroundings or background, a telephoto is an effective tool. Because of their optical design, telephoto lenses create a more shallow field of focus, which helps eliminate distracting backgrounds. It also places more emphasis on a subject. In close quarters, a telephoto lens is an excellent way to tightly compose on a person’s face.

But there are some cautionary notes about telephoto lenses.

Jazz legend experiments with technology on first solo U.S. tour

HERBIE HANCOCK What: Renowned jazz pioneer plays his first-ever solo North American tour.

When: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30.

Where: Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive.

Price: $40-$45 for adults, $20-$22.50 for students and children.

By Trevan McGee tmcgee@ljworld.com

t’s a little after 6:30 p.m. on the West Coast on Oct. 14 and in between interviews, Herbie Hancock, one of the most renowned and revered living jazz musicians in the world, is eagerly awaiting his iPhone 4S to update, so that he can start playing with it.

This says a lot about Hancock. At 71, an age when the average American has already retired and most professional performers have long defined their own style and have made entire careers from exploring it, Hancock has no interest in doing either. In September, he launched a new tour that takes him across the U.S., including a stop Oct. 30 at the Lied Center on Kansas University’s West Campus.

And for the first time in North America, the venerable pianist will do it on his own, but with some high-end technology at his disposal.

“This tour is me with the acoustic piano and a synthesizer and my iMac computer,” Hancock says.

The software, called Ableton Live, allows Hancock to manipulate sound as it comes out of the synthesizer, as well as create loops and entire rhythm sections on the fly. This allows him to reimagine classics from throughout his five decades of recording, on the spot.

“It’s the opposite of being restrictive,” he says of playing within the confines of two instruments and a computer interface. “The challenge is deciding which of so many choices I’m going to do from moment to moment and employ moment to moment. You have to really be on your toes with this because I’ve only got two hands.”

Early adopter Hancock, who began playing piano at age 7, was quickly labeled a child prodigy. At 11, he played Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 5 with the Chicago Symphony.

He later became interested in jazz. His big break came when he was hand-picked by Miles Davis to be a part of Davis’ second quintet in 1963.

“Those are considered some of the greatest recordings in jazz history,” said Doug Tatum, Please see HANCOCK, page 10C

Special to the Journal-World

HERBIE HANCOCK CREDITS HIS PROLIFIC CAREER to his natural curiosity, which has informed his music as a jazz pioneer and innovator. At age 71, Hancock is bringing his first-ever solo North American tour to the Lied Center on Oct. 30.

HERBIE HANCOCK TIMELINE April 12, 1940 — Born 1947 — Begins studying classical music 1951 — Plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 5 with Chicago Symphony 1962 — Records “Takin’ Off” for Blue Note Records 1963 — Is personally sought out by Miles Davis to join his second quintet, records “My Point of View” and “Inventions and Dimensions” 1964-1968 — Records and releases “Empyrean Isles,” “Maiden Voyage,” “Blow-Up”

1968 — Hancock is dismissed from the quintet for returning late from a honeymoon.

The quintet is soon disbanded.

1969 — Hancock composes the “Fat Albert Rotunda” album for Bill Cosby’s animated show. It is his first time experimenting with R&B. 1971 — Hancock forms a new sextet that ventures into electronic sounds. The albums created during this time — “Mwandishi” in 1971, “Cross-

ings” in 1972 and “Sextant” in 1973 — are highly experimental.

This period later becomes known as the “Mwandishi” albums, which later are hailed as early entrants in the jazz fusion genre.

1973 — Hancock forms The Headhunters and releases an album of the same name. It is a crossover hit.

1983 — After a 10-year span that included jazz-influenced disco and touring with VSOP, the Miles Davis Quintet that gave Hancock his start —

minus Miles Davis — Hancock enjoys crossover success with “Rockit” off the album “Future Shock.” The music video was also a big hit on a then-fledgling network: MTV. 1984 — Wins a Grammy for Best R&B Instrumental Performance for “Rockit.”

1986 — Wins an Academy Award for scoring the film “’Round Midnight.”

1994 — Returns to Acid Jazz with “Dis Is Da Drum.”

2008 — “River: The Joni Letters” is nominated for and wins 2008 Album of the Year Grammy, beating out Kanye West, Amy Winehouse and The Foo Fighters. It is the secondever jazz album to do so.

2010 — Hancock releases “The Imagine Project.”

Local author hopes to inspire good deeds with ‘Mitzvah Dog’

If kindness begets more kindness, Lawrence’s Judi Gitel is right on the money in hoping one mitzvah 15 years ago will pay it forward to thousands of future mitzvahs.

Gitel is the author of “Mercury the Mitzvah Dog,” a children’s book that was released in August. Now available at both Amazon. com and locally at The Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St., the story is the tale of a dog who does good deeds, or mitzvahs in Hebrew.

Please see LENS, page 10C The idea came to Gitel in 1996 shortly after doing a mitzvah of her own and adopting an older greyhound, named, not surprisTrevan McGee ingly, Mercury.

He was very well-behaved,” she says. “I got in the car (afterward) and said, ‘Oh, Mercury, you did a mitzvah, and it was just like ‘boooong.’”

It wasn’t until last year, though, that Gitel finally started sniffing around and found an independent press to publish her book, which she says is aimed at kids from pre-kindergarten to second grade.

With Mercury out there making friends, Gitel says she has plans for more Mercury books, including the Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo tentatively titled “Mercury and the Mitzvah,” “Mercury Mercury’s adoption may the lives of nursing home Welcomes a Mitzvah” and “Mercury the Mitzvah Dog have been a mitzvah, but it residents with Gitel. wasn’t the whole inspiration “I used to be a singer at to the Rescue.” for Gitel’s book.
