ELECTION DEBATE

Congressional hopefuls draw contrasts Lawrence and much of eastern Kansas.

EUDORA — Democrat Tobias Schlingensiepen and Republican U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins dueled Sunday over campaign finance, health care and the economy in their first face-to-face debate.

The two candidates, who are both from Topeka, are vying to represent the 2nd Congressional District, which includes

He said Jenkins has taken $618,000 in campaign contributions from insurance, banks and financial

companies while voting against regulation of those interests. In the past, he has noted Jenkins’ vote against the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010.

Jenkins, who is seeking her third two-year term, criticized the Dodd-Frank law as hurting small banks, which, she said, were not responsible for

Ninth

story apartment building on the northeast corner is being designed with a rooftop pool to serve those residents.

Scott McCullough, director of planning and development services for the city, said the changes will not require the project to be reviewed by the city’s Historic Resources Commission again. Instead, the changes can be administratively approved as part of the city’s site plan process.

Before work can start on the northeast apartment building, however, the City Commission must rule on whether a requested roundabout for the Ninth and New Hampshire intersection should be allowed.

The city hasn’t yet set a date to hear that issue.

When construction work begins on the two Ninth and New Hampshire buildings, it will mark one of the busier construction periods in downtown’s history. In addition to the new multistory buildings, work is expected to begin before the end of the year on the $19 million library and parking garage project at Seventh and Vermont streets.

northeast corner of the intersection could begin in March.

“It is going to get busy down there,” Compton said.

The development group also confirmed that it has altered its plans for the hotel building. The plans no longer include a rooftop restaurant, but none of the changes will affect the height or size of the building. The changes include: # The top floor of the hotel now will house three condo units instead of the rooftop restaurant. # The hotel building no longer will include any apartments, and as such, the number of hotel rooms will increase from 81 units to 92 units. # The rooftop pool of the hotel will be moved to an enclosed area on the first floor. # Since the main floor lobby no longer will need to accommodate an entrance to rooftop restaurant, the developers are proposing to expand the ground floor retail space by 400 square feet.

EUDORA — State Sen. Tom Holland and state Rep. Anthony Brown traded sharp verbal blows Sunday over school funding, safety improvements on Kansas Highway 10 and tax cuts in the 3rd Senate District race.

Holland, D-Baldwin City, and Brown, R-Eudora, faced off in a debate at Eudora Middle School.

Holland said the tax cuts pushed through by Gov. Sam Brownback and supported by Brown will lead to big cuts to public schools and higher property taxes.

Once the tax cuts take effect, schools, which have already been hit with state funding cuts during the recession, will see state funding cuts of $350 million to $400 million per year, Holland said.

“That will affect the future earning potential of your kids,” said Holland, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate tax committee.

But Brown defended the tax cuts, saying it will put more money into the pockets of Kansans. Referring to Holland, Brown said, “His solution to everything is what? More money.”

The state is decreasing its individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent.

Also, the state will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes.

The Legislature’s research staff projects the tax cuts will create collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion over the next six years.

But supporters of the tax cuts say the package will

boost the economy and create jobs.

On school funding, Brown said two Eudora school board members told him that recent budget cuts in the Eudora school district were needed to cut “some dead weight.”

During a question-andanswer period, Bob Sailler, an eighth-grade English teacher at Eudora Middle School, said budget cuts have forced the district to lose 10 jobs, and have larger classroom sizes.

He said the “dead weight” comment offended him and he asked Brown who the two school board members who said that were.

Brown declined to reveal their names.

Holland also said the tax package approved during the last legislative session was unfair, benefiting mostly wealthy Kansans, while eliminating for low-income residents the food sales tax rebate and a homestead tax credit for renters. “I think that is very shameful,” he said.

In his opening statement, Holland said when Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson sought help to improve safety on K-10, in the wake of a fatal accident in April 2011, Holland responded with assistance.

Hopson has criticized Brown, saying Brown did nothing to help get a cable median barrier on K-10 approved by the Kansas Department of Transportation after the death of

EUDORA — The two candidates vying for the 42nd House District voiced different opinions Sunday about school funding.

State Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, said the school finance formula needed to be changed because there were discrepancies in per-student spending from district to district.

“We are going to have to look at the formula and change the formula,” O’Brien said.

But Democrat Harold Fevurly Jr., of Leavenworth, said the Legislature needed to provide an adequate level of funding since schools suffered state cuts during the recession.

“One way or another, they need to fund the schools at the proper level,” he said.

The candidates appeared at a forum at Eudora Middle School.

5-year-old Cainan Shutt.

“He basically left us high and dry,” Hopson said of Brown.

The driver of a second car that crossed the median also was killed.

But Brown said he worked “tirelessly” behind the scenes on the issue, and he noted a July letter he received from KDOT Secretary Mike King, in which King thanked Brown “for your ongoing concern to see this project through.”

Brown said, “When you use the death of a 5-yearold to make political points, that is wrong.”

the Western Civilization requirement for students in the Master of Architecture program.

That five-year track is the main one for undergraduates in the department, architecture professor Stephen Grabow said, and it enrolls about 100 new freshmen each year.

The department requires only 45 hours of general-education requirements for those students, Grabow said, compared with 72 for CLAS students. But, he said, faculty feel six of those 45 hours should be Western Civilization because it gives students an introduction to a variety of subject areas including history, economics, politics, art and science.

“It’s one of the few totally interdisciplinary courses,” Grabow said.

He said the faculty spoke out to show support for the program, which they feared might be in danger if it’s no longer required and enrollment decreases.

Officials said earlier this month the courses would not be cut, and they likely still would be among a group of options that students can use to fill requirements in the new curriculum.

Grabow said it benefited architecture students, even though they’re part of a specialized professional program, to get a firm grounding in liberal

The one-hour forum is free and open to the public.

The forum will be broadcast live on KLWN Radio. There will be no live telecast of the event, but it will be recorded by 6News and broadcast before the Nov. 6 election.

A number of questions for the forum will be prepared in advance by coalition partners, and additional arts because their future employers and clients would expect them to be intelligent, well-rounded people. The Western Civilization courses, while difficult, provide that grounding, he said.

“We just felt that we needed to make a statement about how valuable we think it is,” Grabow said.

The School of Journalism has not yet made a decision about whether to keep its Western Civilization requirement, Dean Ann Brill said. The requirement applies to all its undergraduate students, who number 762 in fall 2012 compared with more than 12,000 in CLAS. The school’s curriculum committee this year will be considering which general-education requirements to include along with the new KU core requirements that will affect all undergraduates starting next fall, Brill said.

“It’s one of the classes we could require for our students, or we could require something else,” Brill said, “but we haven’t gotten to that point yet.”

She said the school would consider whether other courses could give students a similar background, or whether requiring fewer hours of general-education courses might allow students the flexibility to, say, spend a semester studying in England.

“That might be a richer experience in some ways than the Western Civ class,” Brill said.

The number of hours of general-education re-

questions will be accepted in writing from the audience. Moderators will be Ann Gardner, Journal-World editorial page editor, and Cory Smith, 6News anchor.

VEC is a nonpartisan organization founded to promote civil dialogue and voter participation.

The general election is Nov. 6, with advance voting starting Oct. 17. quirements for most KU undergraduates, 72, is out of line with most other universities, Brill said.

The journalism school requires undergraduates to add a minor or doublemajor, and fewer general requirements also would provide more flexibility for that, she said.

The School of Social Welfare, which enrolled 159 undergraduates this fall, requires Western Civilization for its Bachelor of Social Work program.

Professor Alice Lieberman, the director of the BSW program, said the faculty would not be able to make a decision until it was clear what the new KU core requirements would be.

But she said that even though she represents a professional school rather than a liberal arts one, she appreciates the Western Civilization courses.

“The apparent loss of the Western Civ sequence as a critical part of a liberal arts education is very unfortunate,” Lieberman said.

BRIEFLY Injured Salina officer released from hospital SALINA — A 38-year-old Salina police officer shot in the face has been released from the hospital.

Salina police say Officer Chuck Huen was released from an Oklahoma City hospital Saturday, but he will require additional surgeries for injuries he sustained in the shooting late Thursday.

Deputy Police Chief Carson Mansfield told The Salina Journal that Huen was shot by a Salina teen shortly after police entered a house while responding to a report of a stolen car. The shooting led to a six-hour standoff, which concluded with 19-year-old Marijon Gadson, found dead in the basement of the house early Friday. It’s unclear how he died.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the shooting.

Recommended KGS rate increases differ WICHITA — The rate increase that Kansas Gas Service is seeking is far higher than the amount staff at the Kansas Corporation Commission has recommended.

The gas company is asking for a net increase of about $32 million a year, and KCC staff recommends the company get only $3.6 million.

The Wichita Eagle reported that the recommendations are cited in documents filed last week.

The gas company’s proposal would raise the average customer’s bill by $5.68 a month. The KCC proposal would boost those bills about $1.

KGS spokeswoman Dawn Ewing said the company is still analyzing the KCC staff recommendations but believes its original proposal would result in fair and reasonable rates.

“It’s a dream come true,” said Darcy Russell, professor of biology.

The building, formerly known as Mulvane Science Hall, was completely gutted and renovated, and acquired a 9,000-square-foot addition.

The new wing of the building is referred to as Hartley Hall, and the renovated area is Mulvane. It houses biology, chemistry, math, physics and information technology classrooms and labs.

Russell has helped coordinate the project since the university decided to update Mulvane Science Hall in 1999.

Reservoir releases worry Kansans MANHATTAN (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released of billions of gallons of water from eastern Kansas reservoirs this summer to support dwindling barge traffic on the drought-stricken Missouri River, which has raised the ire of some who say fuller reservoirs are vital to their businesses.

State officials have also questioned the benefit of releasing water from Perry, Tuttle Creek and Milford reservoirs, where tourism brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

About 200 barges have traveled the Missouri River to Kansas City this year, less than a tenth of what once used the channel. By contrast, about 40,000 barges go by St. Louis most years on the Mississippi River, according to The Kansas City Star.

“They have taken down our (lake levels) 3 foot, maybe 6 foot, for what we deem a limited benefit,” said Tracy Streeter, direc-

tor of the Kansas Water Office. “You would be hard-pressed to even find navigation advocates that could look you straight in the eye and say, ‘Yeah, that’s a good use of water.’”

This year, the Tuttle Creek reservoir is six to seven feet below normal, and boat slips and docks are 15 feet below their normal spots. Milford State Park shut down a number of boat ramps, and a new houseboat dock has been bent from sitting on rocks.

“A lot of guys don’t have anyplace to get their boat on the lake to go fishing,” said Tony Reitz, Milford park manager.

The Army Corps of Engineers said it had no choice but to lower the three lakes in July because the federal agency is required by Congress to keep the Missouri River high enough for the barges to navigate, and the drought had caused levels to drop too far. The corps says the congressional mandate requires the

corps to release enough water for commercial barge traffic from April 1 to Dec. 1 — regardless of how many barges are on the river.

“We don’t have the option to decide not to do it one year or other years because of drought,” said Jody Farhat, the Corps’ chief water manager for the Missouri River.

John and Kathy O’Malley, however, feel like their business has been sacrificed to save another. They shut down the Wildcat Marina on Tuttle Creek Lake near Manhattan last week because so much water had been drained.

“I’ve seen Tuttle Creek go up and down,” Kathy O’Malley said, “but I’ve never seen anything like this. We’re worried. We’re really worried.”

building plans get rejected and the struggle to raise the money for the project during the recession, it was sometimes hard to keep believing the improvements would take place, Russell said.

“The whole process was roller coaster-y,” she said. “The fact that we are now sitting in a building that is perfect for us and will work for us for lots of years, it’s just very satisfying.”

Russell and other faculty members determined what features would be most important to include and what areas in the building could be adjusted. Larger lab spaces were especially important to students and faculty because lectures and classes can be held in any building, but labs can only take place in the science hall. Ultimately, designers maximized labs, maintained office space, downsized class space and added student areas.

education past the second grade. The goal is to help students gain the basic language skills they need to succeed in their new country — to find employment, live independently and interact with the English speakers around them.

“There is one teacher in the classroom trying to accommodate all these different learners,” said Sharen Steele, director of adult education at the Adult Learning Center and Diploma Completion Program.

Having volunteer tutors takes a huge load off the teachers, Steele said. And, it gives students support they might not receive otherwise.

“Most of the students are working minimum wage jobs, so hiring a tutor might be cost-prohibitive,” Walker said.

For Walker, helping people learn to read is a passion. She began tutoring adult learners in 1991.

“I take such pleasure in reading and thought about people who are unable to read anything and how they get through life,” she said. “How do they read signs while driving? Advertising? Medicine bottles? We read all the time and take it for granted.”

The student Walker works with has been in the United States 12 years but, because of a learning

DEDICATION FRIDAY A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Ivan L. Boyd Center for Collaborative Science Education is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday. The dedication will celebrate the $10.3 million raised for the building, which is the largest capital project in the history of Baker University.

The center, which is the renovated Mulvane Science Hall, houses classrooms and labs for biology, chemistry, math, physics and information technology.

Tours of the renovated building will be available following the dedication as well as from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. lounges and study areas to do projects,” said Victoria Paul, a freshman biology major. “It gives science students the opportunity to have resources close to them rather than studying in the library.”

Paul had seen the hall before its renovation and values the updates. She thinks it will help her receive a better education.

“There was a lot of outdated technology,” Paul said. “The new building and equipment will give students a better under-

Walker plans to be with him each step of the way.

“What a service this is to him,” Steele said. “Otherwise, it might take ages for him to be able to learn English skills.”

Steele said there is always a need for volunteer tutors at the Adult Learning Center. For more information, contact Steele at 785-330-4615.

standing of modern sciences.”

Improvements in the science department figured into Paul’s decision to attend Baker, and science faculty hopes other prospective students will take the renovations into consideration when choosing a college.

“What we’re doing is going to have a huge impact on students now and in the future,” Russell said. “This building will attract good faculty and this building will allow the university to hire great faculty, and that’s what makes it a great place for students, too.”

Although the Boyd Center is completed, fundraising for the building isn’t. The university is hoping to raise more money for an endowment to allow the department to stay current with technology and make updates to the building as needed.

For now, students and faculty are continuing to settle into the building that’s been more than 10 years in the making.

“I love it,” Russell said.

“This is how it should always have been.”

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan hit 2,000

Medicare fining hospitals over readmitted patients

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

By Patrick Quinn Associated Press

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The killing of an American serviceman in an exchange of fire with allied Afghan soldiers pushed U.S. military deaths in the war to 2,000, a cold reminder of the perils that remain after an 11-year conflict that now garners little public interest at home.

The toll has climbed steadily in recent months with a spate of attacks

by Afghan army and police — supposed allies — against American and NATO troops. That has raised troubling questions about whether countries in the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan will achieve their aim of helping the government in Kabul and its forces stand on their own after most foreign troops depart in little more than two years.

“The tally is modest by the standards of war historically, but every fatality is a tragedy, and 11 years is too long,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. “All that is internalized, however, in an American public that has been watching this campaign for a long time. More newsworthy right now are the insider attacks and the sense of hopelessness they convey to many. “ Attacks by Afghan soldiers or police — or insurgents disguised in their

uniforms — have killed 52 American and other NATO troops so far this year.

“We have to get on top of this. It is a very serious threat to the campaign,” the U.S. military’s top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said about the insider threat.

The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, was blunter.

“I’m mad as hell about them, to be honest with you,” Allen told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview broadcast Sunday. “It reverberates everywhere across the United States.

You know, we’re willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign, but we’re not willing to be murdered for it.”

The insider attacks are considered one of the most serious threats to the U.S. exit strategy from

the country. In its latest incarnation, that strategy has focused on training Afghan forces to take over security nationwide — allowing most foreign troops to go home by the end of 2014.

As part of that drawdown, the first 33,000 U.S. troops withdrew by the end of September, leaving 68,000 still in Afghanistan.

A decision on how many U.S. troops will remain next year will be taken after the American presidential elections. NATO currently has 108,000 troops in Afghanistan — including U.S. forces — down from nearly 150,000 at its peak last year.

The program to train and equip 350,000 Afghan policemen and soldiers has cost the American taxpayer more than $22 billion in the past three years.

WASHINGTON — If you or an elderly relative have been hospitalized recently and noticed extra attention when the time came to be discharged, there’s more to it than good customer service.

As of today, Medicare will start fining hospitals that have too many patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge because of complications.

The penalties are part of a broader push under President Barack Obama’s health care law to improve quality while also trying to save taxpayers money.

About two-thirds of the hospitals serving Medicare patients, or some 2,200 facilities, will be hit with penalties averaging about $125,000 per facility this coming year, according to government estimates.

Data to assess the penalties have been collected and crunched, and Medicare has shared the results with individual hospitals.

Medicare plans to post details online later in October, and people can look up how their community hospitals performed by using the agency’s “Hospital Compare” website.

It adds up to a new way of doing business for hospitals, and they have scrambled to prepare for well over a year. They are working on ways to improve communication with rehabilitation centers and doctors who fol-

Gas drilling boom rattles Russia

BRIEFLY Dallas suburb rattled by quake

By Kevin Begos

DALLAS — Damage from a small earthquake and a subsequent aftershock in a suburb west of Dallas was mostly limited to cracked walls and knocked-down pictures, authorities said.

The unscathed Dallas-Fort Worth airport, near the epicenter of Saturday’s late-night temblor, kept up with normal flight operations. And emergency officials said there were no indications of any injuries.

The initial earthquake, measured at a preliminary magnitude of 3.4, struck at 11:05 p.m.

Saturday and was centered about 2 miles north of the Dallas suburb of Irving, the US Geological Survey’s national earthquake monitoring center in Golden, Colo., reported.

Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The Kremlin is watching, European nations are rebelling, and some suspect Moscow is secretly bankrolling a campaign to derail the West’s strategic plans.

It’s not some Cold War movie; it’s about the U.S. boom in natural gas drilling, and the political implications are enormous.

Like falling dominoes, the drilling process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is shaking up world energy markets from Washington to Moscow to Beijing.

“

This is where everything is being turned on its head.

Their days of dominating the European gas markets are gone.”

— Fiona Hill, an expert on Russia at the Brookings Institution concluded in a report this summer.

The story began to unfold a few years ago as advances in drilling opened up vast reserves of gas buried in deep shale rock, such as the Marcellus formation in Pennsylvania and the Barnett, in Texas.

Experts had been predicting that the U.S. was running out of natural gas, but then shale gas began to flood the market, and prices plunged.

Russia had been exporting vast quantities to Europe and other countries for about $10 per unit, but the current price in the U.S. is now about $3 for the same quantity. That kind of math got the attention of energy companies, and politicians, around the world.

The financial stakes are huge. Russia’s Gazprom energy corporation, which is state-controlled, had $44 billion in profits last year. Gazprom, based in Moscow, is the world’s largest producer of natural gas and exports much of it to other countries.

But last month Gazprom halted plans to develop a new arctic gas field, saying it couldn’t justify the investment now, and its most recent financial report showed profits had dropped by almost 25 percent.

The U.S. presidential campaigns have already addressed the strategic potential.

A campaign position paper for Republican Mitt Romney said he “will pursue policies that work to decrease the reliance of European nations on Russian sources of energy.”

In early September, President Barack Obama said the U.S. could “develop a hundred-year supply of natural gas that’s right beneath our feet,” which would “cut our oil imports in half by 2020 and support more than 600,000 new jobs in natural gas alone.”

IRAN

Swipe at Web brings angry reply

By Brian Murphy and Nasser Karimi Associated Press

TEHRAN — Iran’s cyber monitors often tout their fight against the West’s “soft war” of influence through the Web, but trying to block Google’s popular Gmail appeared to be a swipe too far.

Complaints piled up — even from email-starved parliament members — and forced authorities Sunday to double down on their promises to create a parallel Web universe with Tehran as its center.

The strong backlash and the unspecific pledges for an Iran-centric Internet alternative to the Silicon Valley powers and others highlight the two sides of the Islamic Republic’s ongoing battles with the Web. It’s spurred another technological mobilization that fits neatly into Iran’s self-crafted image as the Muslim world’s showcase for science, including sending satellites into orbit, claiming advances in cloning and stem cell research and facing down the West over its nuclear program.

But there also are the hard realities of trying to reinvent the Web. Iran’s highly educated and widely tech-savvy population is unlikely to warm quickly to potential clunky homegrown browsers or email services. And then there’s the potential political and economic fallout of trying to close the tap on familiar sites such as Gmail.

“Some problems have emerged through the blocking of Gmail,” Hussein Garrousi, a member of a parliamentary committee on industry, was quoted Sunday by the independent Aftab-e Yazd daily. What he apparently meant was that many lawmakers were angry and missing their emails.

He said that parliament would summon the minister of telecommunications for questioning if the ministry did not lift the Gmail ban, which was imposed last week in respond to clips on Googleowned YouTube of a film mocking the Prophet Muhammad that set off deadly protests across the Islamic world.

OKLAHOMA CITY — An oil refinery employee remained in critical condition Sunday at an Oklahoma City hospital as work resumed at the facility where an explosion earlier in the weekend left him injured and another worker dead.

Friday’s blast at a boiler inside the refinery south of Oklahoma City injured Russell Mann of Davis and killed Billy Smith, 34, of Pauls Valley, said Garvin County Sheriff Larry Rhodes. The sheriff did not know Smith’s age and the hospital wouldn’t confirm it.

The CEO of CVR Energy Inc., which owns the refinery in Wynnewood, said in a statement Sunday that the Sugar Land, Texas, company is working with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state agencies that are trying to determine what caused the explosion.

As race stands, Obama within reach of second term

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

DES MOINES, IOWA — Five weeks to Election Day, President Barack Obama is within reach of the 270 electoral votes needed to win a second term. Republican Mitt Romney’s path to victory is narrowing.

To overtake Obama, Romney would need to quickly gain the upper hand in nearly all of the nine states where he and Obama are competing the hardest.

Polls show the president with a steady lead in many of them as Romney looks to shift the dynamics of the race, starting with their first debate Wednesday in Denver.

“We’d rather be us than them,” says Jennifer Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman.

But Romney’s running mate Paul Ryan says there’s time for the GOP ticket to win. “In these kinds of races, people focus near the end, and

that’s what’s happening now,” he told “Fox News Sunday.”

If the election were held today, an Associated Press analysis shows Obama would win at least 271 electoral votes, with likely victories in crucial Ohio and Iowa along with 19 other states and the District of Columbia. Rom-

ney would win 23 states for a total of 206.

To oust the Democratic incumbent, Romney would need to take up-forgrabs Florida, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Virginia, which would put him at 267 votes, and upend Obama in either Ohio or Iowa.

ELECTION CLERK KARL ALTHAUS sorts through absentee ballots in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday.

Five weeks to Election Day, President Barack Obama is within reach of the requisite 270 electoral votes needed to win a second term, according to an analysis.

The AP analysis isn’t meant to be predictive.

Rather, it is intended to provide a snapshot of a race that until recently has been stubbornly close in the small number of the most contested states.

It is based on a review of public and private polls, television advertising and numerous inter-

views with campaign and party officials as well as Republican and Democratic strategists in the competitive states and in Washington.

In the final weeks before the Nov. 6 vote, Obama is enjoying a burst of momentum and has benefited from growing optimism about the economy as well as a series of Romney stumbles. Most notably, a secret video surfaced recently showing the Republican nominee telling a group of donors that 47 percent of Americans consider themselves victims dependent on the government.

To be sure, much could change in the coming weeks, which will feature three presidential and one vice presidential debate.

A host of unknowns, both foreign and domestic, could rock the campaign, knocking Obama off course and giving Romney a boost in the homestretch.

Russian church: Series of bombings kill 26 in Iraq Musicians deserve mercy if repentant

By Lara Jakes

Associated Press

By Laura Mills Associated Press

MOSCOW — The Russian Orthodox Church on Sunday asked for clemency for three jailed members of a rock band if they repent for their “punk prayer” for deliverance from President Vladimir Putin at Moscow’s main cathedral, a statement that came a day before an appeal hearing and appeared to reflect a desire to put an end to the case that has caused an international outrage.

But it was unclear whether the women, who were sentenced to two years last month, would offer a penitence sought by the church and how much leniency a court may show. Putin has always been reluctant to avoid leaving an impression that he could bow to public pressure and has taken an increasingly tough line on dissent since his inauguration in May. Today’s appeal hearing has caught their family members between hope and despair as they attempt to gauge from the words and actions of government and church officials whether the political tide will turn in their favor.

In Sunday’s statement, the church reaffirmed its condemnation of the women’s raucous stunt, saying such actions “can’t be left unpunished.” But it added

that if the women show “penitence and reconsideration of their action,” their words “shouldn’t be left unnoticed.”

Earlier this month, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that keeping them in prison any longer would be “unproductive” — a Putin statement that encouraged hopes the appeals court could set them free. But skeptics said that ahead of the band members’ conviction on charges of “hooliganism driven by religious hatred,” Putin himself said the women should not be judged too harshly, raising similar hopes for their release that proved vain.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, were arrested in March after dancing and high-kicking at Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral as they pleaded with the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was elected to a third presidential term two weeks later. They said during their trial in August that they were protesting the Russian Orthodox Church’s support for Putin and didn’t intend to offend religious believers.

Suicide bomb kills 4 in Syria BEIRUT — A suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near a Syrian security compound in a remote, predominantly Kurdish town Sunday, killing at least four people, state media said, in a new sign that the country’s largest ethnic minority might be drawn into a widening civil war.

Opposition activists said at least eight Syrian intelligence agents were killed and several dozen people wounded in the attack in the northeastern town of Qamishli, more than 435 miles from the capital Damascus.

Syria’s more than 2 million Kurds, long marginalized, have largely stayed out of the fighting, though some have participated in protests against the regime of President Bashar Assad.

The uprising against Assad that erupted 18 months ago has gradually morphed into a bloody civil war. The conflict has killed

more than 30,000 people, activists say, and has devastated entire neighborhoods in Syria’s main cities, including Aleppo, the scene of intense fighting Sunday.

Art Garfunkel fails to show at concerts STOCKHOLM — Swedish concert organizers say Art Garfunkel failed to show up at two scheduled events and instead flew home to the United States.

Organizer Niels Estrup told the Sydsvenskan paper on Sunday that the iconic 1960s pop singer failed to appear at Night of the Proms, a fusion of classical and pop music, in Goteborg on Friday and Malmo on Saturday.

Organizers say they didn’t find Garfunkel at the hotel but later learned he had left the country along with his staff.

It is unclear why 70-yearold Garfunkel skipped the concert, though organizer Julius Malmstrom told the Sydsvenskan that he had seen the singer in Goteborg on Thursday and said Garfunkel looked healthy but did not seem confident about his voice.

BAGHDAD — A series of coordinated bombings shattered Shiite neighborhoods and struck at Iraqi security forces Sunday, killing at least 26 in attacks that one official described as a rallying call by al-Qaida just days after dozens of militants escaped from prison.

The blasts brought September’s death toll from sectarian violence to nearly 200 people — a grim, above-average monthly total for the period since U.S. troops left last year.

The steady pace of attacks has worked to undermine confidence in the government.

“The people are fed up

with the killings in Iraqi cities,” said Ammar Abbas, 45, a Shiite and government employee who lives in a Baghdad neighborhood near one of the bombings.

“The government officials should feel shame for letting their people die at the hands of terrorists.”

Police said the wave of explosions stretched from the restive but oil-rich city of Kirkuk in the north to the southern Shiite town of Kut, wounding at least 94 people. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but bombings are a hallmark of al-Qaida in Iraq, the Sunni insurgency that has been struggling for years to goad Shiite militias back toward civil war.

A key Shiite lawmaker

said the bombings likely sought to galvanize al-Qaida in the wake of a prison break last Friday in Saddam Hussein’s northern hometown of Tikrit. Scores of inmates escaped — including as many as 47 convicted alQaida militants — in a massive security lapse that the government acknowledged had help from inside.

“Al-Qaida leaders have no intention of leaving this country or letting Iraqis live in peace,” said Hakim al-Zamili, a Shiite member of parliament’s security committee.

“The situation in Iraq is still unstable,” al-Zamili added. “And repetition of such attacks shows that our security forces are still unqualified to deal with the terrorists.”

It was announced this week that the Overland Park City Council approved an ordinance to let legal gun owners openly carry their weapons — if they are in holsters with the safety engaged.

Wichita, earlier this year, passed a similar ordinance permitting “open carry,” but, according to Wichita newspaper reports, the city council there apparently favors “a re-examination of our options” — a reexamination provoked by public concern.

The two communities indicate their actions were a response to a nonbinding opinion issued by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who said the cities “may not completely prohibit the open carry of a loaded firearm” on any property that’s open to the public, unless the property is posted with signs prohibiting weapons. His opinion was based on the contention that cities can’t enforce gun laws that are more restrictive than the provisions of state law.

However, cities are allowed to restrict the way firearms are carried, which led Wichita and Overland Park to require guns be in holsters with the safety on. Authorities in each city said they had no interest in challenging the matter in court, so they in effect removed prohibitions on carrying weapons that were tougher than the state’s law.

Lawrence does not appear to face a similar challenge because its “carriage” laws seem minimal and relate to carrying handguns near bars. So state law prevails. What will other communities do? Apparently, it’s up to the Legislature to address the situation before Kansas begins to resemble the Old West, with residents strolling down the street wearing sidearms. (However, this is the same Legislature that had been unwilling to address provisions of the concealed-carry law that make it possible for the blind to maintain their permits.)

Should residents of Lawrence or any Kansas city be forced to accept openly armed residents at the gasoline pump or in the grocery store or just out walking on the sidewalk? Especially knowing that, unlike those who obtain concealed-carry permits, no permit, no training, no background check is required for someone who decides to strap on a holster and pistol?

Surely, most Kansans would say no.

Debates should plow fresh ground WASHINGTON — The spectacles we persist in dignifying as presidential “debates” — two-minute regurgitations of rehearsed responses — often subtract from the nation’s understanding. But beginning this Wednesday, these lessthan-Lincoln-Douglas episodes might be edifying if the candidates can be inveigled into plowing fresh ground.

Concerning the judiciary Although the average age of the Supreme Court justices (66) is less than that of the Rolling Stones (68), three justices will be in their 80s before the next presidential term ends, so the next president probably can solidify today’s conservative majority or create a liberal majority.

For Mitt Romney: Many conservatives advocate “judicial restraint.” They denounce “judicial activism” and define it as not properly deferring to decisions by government’s majoritarian branches. Other conservatives praise “judicial engagement” and define it as actively defending liberty against overbearing majorities. Do you favor “restraint” or “engagement”? Do you reject the Kelo decision, in which the Supreme Court deferred to governments’ desire to seize private property and give it to wealthier private interests who would pay higher taxes?

For Barack Obama: You deplore the court’s Citizens United decision. What is your constitutional basis for rejecting the decision’s principle that Americans do not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they come together in corporate entities (mostly nonprofit advocacy

You say you would “seriously consider” amending the First Amendment to empower Congress to regulate political speech. Explain why you choose to make the Bill of Rights less protective.

For Romney: The Republican platform endorses using “whatever legislative method is most feasible” to ban flag desecration. Can you distinguish this from the anti-blasphemy laws in some Islamic countries? Should we criminalize expressive acts that offend?

gin the 12th year of the war in Afghanistan, and 51 recent NATO fatalities have been at the hands of our supposed Afghan allies, causing U.S. commanders to indefinitely suspend many joint operations. Why are we staying there 27 more months?

For Romney: You envision “countervailing duties” to punish China for manipulating the value of its currency.

Do the “quantitative easings”

by Ben Bernanke’s Federal Reserve, which vastly expanded the money supply, constitute currency manipulation? Would duties increasing the prices Americans pay for Chinese imports violate your vow to not raise taxes?

For Obama: Your campaign boasts about increasing the number of unfairtrade charges against China.

How would Americans’ welfare be enhanced by raising the prices they pay for consumer goods and production materials from China?

For both: You are correct that China subsidizes politically connected businesses.

Does not our Export-Import Bank do this?

For Obama: Are GM and Chrysler subsidized? Are they politically connected businesses?

Concerning domestic policy For Obama: Your opponent proposes cutting income tax rates 20 percent and implies paying for this partly by means testing some deductions (e.g., mortgage interest payments and charitable giving). Do you oppose his plan for making the income tax more progressive?

Concerning foreign policy For Romney: You say “reFor both: On Oct. 7, we be- distribution” has “never been

a characteristic of America.”

You’re kidding, right? Is not redistribution one purpose of progressive taxation? Is not most of what government does — from agriculture subsidies to subsidized student loans to entitlements — the redistribution of wealth from one cohort or region to another?

For Obama: You recently said changing Washington “from the outside” is “how some of our biggest accomplishments like health care got done — mobilizing the American people.”

You’re kidding, right? A majority of the American people never supported passage of Obamacare. Did you not secure passage by deals with Big Pharma and other inside Washington players?

For both: Do you agree that a financial institution that is too big to fail is too big to exist? If not, why not? The biggest banks emerged from the Great Recession bigger.

At the end of 2011, the five biggest (JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs) held more than $8.5 trillion in assets, which is 56 percent of the 2011 GDP. Why should they not be broken up?

For Obama: Your deep blue Illinois — like another essentially one-party Democratic state, California — is buckling under the weight of its portion of the estimated $2.5 trillion in unfunded state pension obligations. Will you promise to oppose attempts to force the taxpayers to bail out badly governed states?

For both: Do you assume the Almighty is not paying attention whenever you say “I approve this message”?

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 1, 1912: “The article in YEARS yesterday’s JourAGO nal-World in referIN 1912 ence to razing the old Donnelly house at Rhode Island and Quincy, called to the mind of Gordon Grovenor the rejoicing there was when Mr. Donnelly dug his well at that place and found an abundance of water.

The water was found at a depth of sixteen feet and so strong was the flow that nothing could be done toward walling up the well until several loads of rock had been thrown into it.”

Voting lesson To the editor: We saw in the paper where Kids Voting will take place again in Lawrence. We hope, in true fashion, a voter ID will be required. This will make a great teaching moment for the children. After research, the children will quickly learn how one segment of the society is trying to bully another segment.

They will learn that the voter ID law is just a way to cheat people out of their most sacred right: the right to vote.

Fred Sack and Jenna Coker, Lawrence

More hazards To the editor: Well, thank you, Miss Banks. You pretty well hit the nail on the head in more ways than one in your recent letter (Public Forum, Sept. 22) in regard to your fun-filled trip across town to campus. I can sense you like to live life on the edge.

Since you’re acquainted with campus, why not try the next step sometime for a real adventure? Go up there Monday through Friday and get on one of the blue Kansas University buses. Sit as close as possible to the front so you can see everything out ahead and ride it for a couple of hours, pref-

programs in Matt Erickson’s article, “$24.5 million grant to establish national special education center” (Sept. 27) are vital to creating an equitable and inclusive system of public education. Segregating students with disabilities has proven harmful to both the academic and social wellbeing of the student. It also further alienates students with disabilities from their peers, which inhibits the development of tolerance needed in our diverse society.

Unfortunately, simply creating inclusive classrooms is not the answer. As explained in the article, one version of this model could be a form of co-teaching where one certified instructor is at the front of the room while the other certified teacher is circulating the class. On paper, this approach is the perfect solution that meets the needs of all students.

In practice, however, this approach fails on many levels. First, both certified teachers need extensive training, practice and coaching to become expert co-teachers.

From where will this time, money and expertise come?

Second, many special education teachers have not been prepared to teach in a mainstream classroom, which To the editor: creates an atmosphere of The transformative ideas stress, disorganization, and for changing special education frustration. Who will force

erably in midmorning or early afternoon, just to make sure you can cross main campus at least two or three times during breaks between classes. Since you won’t be driving, you will be better able to look around more and savor the lunacy.

Another exciting adventure if you’re up to it is to drive east on 23rd Street from Iowa to the far east side of town, then turn around and come back at around 4:30 in the afternoon Monday through Friday, especially Friday!

By now, I hope you’ve guessed that someone out here agrees with you. And as you also indicated, the town that is trying to attract retirees also claims to be a bicycle-friendly town. So why am I so nervous about riding my bicycle anymore? Ask me sometime about getting deliberately rear-ended and bumped off the street just on my moped.

I would add one thing to your letter. Along with good brakes and quick reaction times, I would add “the good sense to not buy into everything the seniors are being sold to attract them here.”

Dave Affalter, Lawrence

Vital training

teacher-education programs to adapt? For an inclusive classroom to function, these issues must be addressed and solved. Perhaps during the observation stage of this program, researchers will focus on the pitfalls evident in order to make this ideal form of public education a reality.

It would do all students and teachers well if part of this grant money is used to solve these problems of training and preparation before rapidly desegregating students.

Krista Barbour, Lawrence

Well-used trail To the editor: Hat’s off to the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department for the pursuit of funding and construction of the “rail-to-trail” parkway in East Lawrence.

Initially, I wondered who would use a trail to nowhere.

However, looking out our office windows, I see that everyone is using the walkway.

The department has done an excellent job of providing the community a venue for safe physical activity in an attractive setting.

Kudos also to everyone using the trail for keeping it clean of trash and picking up dog waste.

KU FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Tolefree prototype studentathlete So long and springy, so agile and precise in her movements. To watch Kansas University senior Tayler Tolefree play volleyball is to come away with the impression that she has ideal physical attributes for the sport. To interview her is to realize that her mind trumps all as her greatest asset.

The NCAA, which airs commercials about winners it sends into the world, could not find a better face to put to the message than that of Tolefree, a Lawrence High graduate. All-Academic Big 12 as a sophomore and junior, Tolefree intends to follow her sister Sydnei’s winning footsteps to medical school.

Meeting the requirements placed on Division I athletes presents a stiff challenge even without a rigorous aca- Tolefree demic path.

Tolefree majors in human biology. Her toughest class so far?

“Mammalian physiology,” she said.

Oh. As in mammals?

“Yes, but it was more of a human focus,” Tolefree said.

“We went through every single body system. What does what? How does it work? What happens if this goes wrong? It was really complicated, but it was really interesting. I enjoyed it.”

Her impressive timing on jumps at the net for blocks and kills is matched by her ability to manage time.

“It’s helpful we have a one-semester sport, so we pack in the hours in spring, and we all take summer school,” she said. “You have to really know what you want to do, and volleyball and school are what I want to do, so that’s what I spend my time doing. It’s all we do.

It’s tough, but it’s what we want to do.”

She knows the required steps to meet her post-volleyball goal and already has taken the MCAT. “You have to do some shadowing, make sure you know what you’re getting into,” she said. “They look at your overall GPA and your science-classes GPA. They look at community service.

They make sure you know what’s going on in the medical world, the whole nationalized health care, all that kind of stuff. You submit your résumé. You get letters of recommendation, and you’re either invited to an interview or you’re not. Hopefully, I’ll get an interview and make an impression.”

At that point, mental dexterity means everything, which isn’t so different from sports, Tolefree indicated, using the word “mentality” to describe the biggest difference in this year’s volleyball team, on the brink of cracking the Top 25.

“Can you come back against a team? Can you handle the little things? This is the strongest mentality we’ve had,” she said. “We’re more self-driven than any team I’ve been on.”

Hers is a good lead to follow.

KANSAS TIGHT END MIKE RAGONE HEADS UP THE SIDELINE after pulling in a second-quarter catch against Rice on Sept. 8 at Memorial Stadium.

Is TE Ragone happy? C’mon, bro

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The early results have been disappointing and his own statistics — two receptions, 10 yards, a touchdown — hard to come by, but Kansas University tight end Mike Ragone is thrilled to be here.

Ragone, the senior who transferred from Notre Dame, came to Kansas to be reunited with KU coach Charlie Weis.

He also came to go to battle with his former quarterback, win games and knock heads.

He got much more than he anticipated.

“I almost don’t want to say this,” Ragone said during a

recent interview, “but I’m almost glad I hurt my knee so I could be here.”

Ragone suffered three major knee injuries during a seven-year span. The setbacks, though difficult, allowed him to apply for a medical red shirt and a sixth year of eligibility. He never believed that would lead him to Lawrence, but, with a disappointing 1-3 record and his first taste of the KU-K-State rivalry just around the corner, the 6-foot4, 255-pound bruiser can’t keep himself from expressing how thankful he is for all of it.

“I love it here,” he said with his loud-and-proud New Jersey accent. “It’s awesome. I’m

very, very happy and blessed.

I really truly love everyone on this team. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s a brotherhood.”

While Ragone’s personality has made him a hit with his teammates, it also has made him an automatic request by the local media. Sure, there are things reporters can learn from Ragone about the KU offense or the Jayhawks’ next opponent, but, more often, Ragone’s media sessions become spirited conversations about video games, pro wrestling, food and, of course, Jersey.

“C’mon, bro,” is one of Ragone’s favorite phrases, but Please see RAGONE, page 10B

MEDINAH, ILL. (AP) — Europe buried the memory of that American comeback at Brookline in 1999 with one that was even better.

Medinah was filled with sheer madness Sunday, the matches so close for so much of the day that even when Martin Kaymer stood over a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole to clinch it, the Ryder Cup was up in air.

The putt was pure and the celebration was on.

“It will go down in the history books of the Ryder Cup,” European captain Jose Maria Olazabal said.

The size of the comeback was equal to what the Americans pulled off at The Country Club, but at least they had help from endless cheers of the home crowd. Not many gave Europe much of a chance until Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia turned what looked to be certain losses into improbable wins, filling the scoreboard with European blue.

“What you did out there today was outstanding,” Olazabal told his team at the closing ceremony. “You believed and you delivered. And I’m very proud that you have kept Europe’s hands on this Ryder Cup. All men die, but not all men live. And you made me feel alive again this week.”

Then, Olazabal bowed his head and closed his eyes as they filled with tears, and the European fans sensed what was coming next.

He didn’t have to say a word. They said it for him.

“Seve, Seve, Seve,” they began to chant.

Seve Ballesteros.

Sloppy Chiefs fall, 37-20

CHIEFS RUNNING BACK SHAUN DRAUGHN (20) FUMBLES as he is hit by Chargers defensive back Shareece Wright (29) during the Chiefs’ 37-20 loss on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — There has been a sign outside the locker room in the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice facility the past couple of weeks offering a three-word dictum: “Eliminate Bad Football.”

Romeo Crennel couldn’t find better words to describe the Chiefs’ performance Sunday.

“It was bad football,” he conceded, minutes after watching Kansas City commit six turnovers and get blown out again at home, this time 37-20 by the San Diego Chargers.

“You could see it was bad football,” Crennel continued, “but we have a game to be played next week, and we

have to stay together and not point fingers.”

There aren’t enough fingers to go around.

Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns, but he was intercepted three times in the first half, when San Diego built a 27-6 lead.

Jamaal Charles lost two fumbles to overshadow his touchdowns rushing and receiving. Shaun Draughn had a fumble, Eric Winston struggled all day at right tackle and Eric Berry couldn’t keep up with Chargers tight end Antonio Gates.

Just about the only bright spot for Kansas City (1-3) was wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who had seven catches for 108 yards and a touch-

down that came far too late to matter.

“We’ve got to solve it and we’ve got to solve it quick,” said Cassel, who was booed lustily all afternoon. “We talk about it, but we obviously have to go out there and do a better job.”

The regular officials were back on the field Sunday, and both teams kept referee Bill Leavy’s crew busy. They combined for 15 penalties for 150 yards.

Philip Rivers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns for the AFC West-leading Chargers (3-1), who bounced back nicely from a 27-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last Please see CHIEFS, page 10B

‘Bama still atop poll; FSU jumps LSU

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Football Writer

Alabama is a unanimous No. 1 in the Top 25 for the first time this season, and LSU slipped a spot again after another sketchy performance. Now the Tigers are No. 4 behind No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Florida State.

With Stanford the lone team in the top 19 to lose, the top of the rankings had only some relatively minor shuffling Sunday.

That will change next week, when five games feature matchups of ranked teams, including three with both teams ranked between Nos. 5-11.

Call it the first shakedown Saturday of the season.

No. 5 Georgia is at No. 6 South Carolina in a SEC East showdown that gives the winner the inside track — though far from a clear path — to the division title.

Freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and

the Bulldogs are on pace to have one of the most prolific offenses in Southeastern Conference history, but the defense and special teams have been shaky. That nearly cost them in a 51-44 victory Saturday against Tennessee.

No. 4 LSU goes to No. 10 Florida, a crossover SEC matchup that should answer a key question in the national championship race: How worried should the Tigers be about their lethargic offense?

In the Big 12, offense shouldn’t be a problem when No. 8 West Virginia visits No. 11 Texas.

The Mountaineers were ridiculous in Saturday’s 70-63 victory against Baylor. Geno Smith threw for eight touchdowns.

For the season, he’s completed 83 percent of his passes while grabbing the early lead in the Heisman Trophy race.

No. 2 Oregon is home against No. 23 Washington, which is coming off a 17-13 victory against Stanford.

In the Big Ten, No. 12 Ohio State hosts No. 21 Nebraska.

Add to that No. 9 Notre Dame facing Miami (4-1) in Chicago, and No. 3 Florida State playing at North Carolina State, and there is no doubt the top 10 will look very different next Sunday — with one exception.

Alabama is off, so No. 1 is most likely safe.

Moving Up It was only one spot, but Florida State’s move to No. 3 gives the Seminoles their best ranking since they were No. 3 in the first week of November 2003.

The Seminoles were a bit flat but effective in a 30-17 victory at South Florida. The biggest challenge for Florida State in the coming weeks will be staying focused enough to dodge the upset.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has only one other ranked team right now, and the Seminoles have already dispatched Clemson.

Olazabal walked down the row and hugged every player until he saved the longest embrace for Lee Westwood, the only player who was on that 1997 team when Ballesteros was the captain, the last visible role he played at the Ryder Cup. He died in May 2011 at age 54 of a brain tumor.

Westwood, Garcia and Paul Lawrie were the only players on the ‘99 team that blew a 10-6 lead, and all of them won matches. “We wanted to see how they would react, and see if they could hold it,� Garcia said of the Americans. “And it was a combination of playing great, and maybe then that little bit of pressure getting to them.�

The Americans were simply stunned.

Three times they came to the 17th hole with a chance to win a match, only for Europe to deliver the key shots that win the Ryder Cup. Ian Poulter won the last two holes, and so did Rose, a birdie-birdie finish to beat Phil Mickelson. Garcia won the last two holes with pars to beat Jim Furyk.

Furyk had beaten Garcia at Brookline in a pivotal match. “That was fun,� Furyk said. “This was pretty miserable.�

If Kaymer had missed the putt and halved his match with Steve Stricker, the Americans would have been one point away from winning — with Tiger Woods in the fairway and 1 up over Francesco Molinari.

Woods wound up missing a 31â „2-foot par putt and conceded a par to the Italian from the same distance to halve their match.

That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, 141⠄2131⠄2. Woods and Stricker, the anchors in the lineup, didn’t win a single match at Medinah.

Poulter was up to his fistpumping, eye-bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match against U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.

And he had plenty of help.

Europe’s top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory McIlroy, who was lucky to be playing.

McIlroy thought his match was at 12:25 p.m. — it was listed in Eastern time, not Central — and needed a police escort to get to the course with 10 minutes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week.

The biggest match might have belonged to Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole.

Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them.

The only U.S. points came from Dustin Johnson, who went 3-0 in this Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson and unheralded Jason Dufner.

BRAD KESELOWSKI CELEBRATES HIS WIN IN VICTORY LANE at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del.

Keselowski races into Chase points lead at Dover DOVER, DEL. — Brad Keselowski had just enough fuel left to take the checkered flag Sunday at Dover International Speedway for his second victory in three weeks.

Keselowski won the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener at Chicagloland and followed that by conserving enough fuel down the stretch at Dover.

Keselowski raced to his fifth victory of the season and zipped into the points lead.

Chase driver Jeff Gordon finished second.

Jimmie Johnson lost his grip on the points lead with a fourth-place finish.

Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who faded to eighth, had two of the top cars all race. They just did not have enough fuel to make a hard, clean push in the closing laps of the 400-mile race.

There are seven races left in the Chase.

PRO HOCKEY

NHL, players meet again NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ association met for a third straight day Sunday and again avoided the troublesome money issues that are fueling the ongoing lockout. “We did not discuss core economic issues, as was the plan,� NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said after meeting for five hours with the NHL. “We discussed health and safety, drug testing, including more discussion of drug testing, medical care etc. Also a number of things in the CBA legal area of player movements.�

The drug policy was a key component of talks Friday when the sides got together for the first time since the NHL imposed the lockout on Sept. 16.

On Saturday, the sides focused on clarifications of definitions of what makes up hockey-related revenue — a pot that exceeded $3 billion.

There was a thought that talks might continue today, but that doesn’t seem likely as the NHL first wants to meet internally with its clubs.

COPS & COURTS REPORTER Did you grow up watching “Law & Order”? Are you fascinated with crime and court cases? Are you energized as journalist reporting breaking news? If so, you may be the person we’re looking for.

The Lawrence Journal-World is hiring a reporter to cover the crime and court beat, which is essential to our publications. This role requires a talented, curious and motivated reporter who produces a mix of strong dailies, lively enterprise stories and compelling narratives, and someone who can mine court filings and other public records for unexpected stories and use high-profile cases for 1A stories.

This reporter will keep a close eye on police and prosecutors, finding front-page stories in breaking news coverage while looking for emerging trends, systemic problems and human interest stories.

We are seeking a well-rounded reporter with a history of success in digital and print media and the ability to cover the spectrum of public safety topics. Ideal candidates know how to keep an ear to the scanner and jump on breaking news while also juggling daily stories and long-term enterprise projects; must have a bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related degree; demonstrated writing and reporting experience; ability to use a broad set of tools to tell stories and engage the audience; an understanding of police protocol and court procedures; the ability to build strong connections throughout the law enforcement and court system; one year of shooting and editing video preferred; proficient in MS Office; and the ability to drive, with valid driver’s license and safe driving record.

We offer a competitive salary with an excellent benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401k, paid time off, tuition reimbursement and more!

Background check, pre-employment drug screen and physical lift assessment required. To apply, submit a cover letter, resume and link to your portfolio to hrapplications@ljworld.com

Dear Annie: My mother-in-law blatantly favors her oldest granddaughter, “Miranda,” to the exclusion of the other four. She says Miranda is the “good granddaughter” and her 17-year-old sister, “Amy,” is the “troublemaker.”

I believe that Amy acts out partly because of the negative label she has been saddled with for years. Meanwhile, Miranda can do no wrong.

My husband and I live out of state. When we visit the relatives, my mother-in-law spends the entire time talking about Miranda’s glowing character and wonderful achievements. Our three kids only see their grandmother twice a year, and this favoritism does not do anything to promote family relationships. Our kids joke about their pecking order in the family and actually rank all the grandchildren through Grandma’s eyes. They realize that Miranda is No.

Celebrities endorse ‘Half the Sky’ George Clooney and other notables lend their voices and observations to “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Filmed in 10 countries and based on a book of the same name by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, “Half” is an expose of human trafficking and unspeakable cruelty, as well as an argument that many of the solutions to world crises can arrive only when women are given real political and economic power.

Over two nights, “Half” will look at a culture of gender violence in Sierra Leone, where most rapes go unreported; a prostitution industry in Cambodia, where children are approximately 30 percent of brothel workers; the epidemic of maternal mortality in Somaliland, where one in 12 mothers die in childbirth; and India’s burgeoning prostitution industry. Celebrities, including Diane Lane, Gabrielle Union, America Ferrera, Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes and Olivia Wilde, travel with the authors and various experts to examine oppression and opportunities firsthand.

Union visits Vietnam, where a program to foster literacy in young girls is making a difference. Wilde shows how women entrepreneurs are changing the Kenyan economy and visits a village near Nairobi established as a haven from violence and rape.

The notion of Hollywood celebrities extolling the virtues of women’s liberation takes on a whole new dimension when seen from this vantage point.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three children, and my parents are in their 80s. They both have myriad medical conditions.

Since moving home, I got a new job and assumed the role of caregiver for my parents. I cook, shop, run errands, do laundry and take them to the doctor. My older sister, who lives out of state, visits often and jumps right in to help. She will even trim the bushes.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Oct. 1: This year you often will consider your relationships and continually evaluate how much to give. If you are single, dating will be your favorite game. If you are attached, you will find that you can bring both of you closer together or create more distance between you — the call is yours.

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 alternate between optimism and a trancelike state. This ambivalence will even out, given time. Tonight: Consider a budget revision.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could have many ideas, yet isolating the correct path might be more important than you realize. Tonight: Your beaming smile draws in many people.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Where you are is where you want to be, for now. Surround yourself with friends and/or associates who offer different perspectives. Tonight: Take some muchneeded personal time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Accept your role as nurturer and leader. You might feel undermined in a creative venture or by a loved one. Tonight: Find your friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your broad perspective is needed. Make sure you are not reacting to a personal attack. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You tend to interact rather intensely with others. Discussions revolve around a partnership

The role of caregiver is one that should be shared equally and enthusiastically between all siblings.

It’s one of the most honorable things one can do.

My brother just doesn’t want to do it. What’s the best way to get him to start pulling his own weight? — Holding It Together in Indiana Dear Indiana: You and your sister are kind and compassionate. But you cannot force your brother to be the same.

Instead, ask him to contribute financially to your parents’ care. Use the money to hire additional help around the house or to have a caregiver come so you can get a break. Hopefully, he’ll be relieved to help in a way that doesn’t require his physical presence, and you will be less resentful.

as well as a separate issue involving travel and possibly education.

Tonight: Go for some lightness and good music.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might decide to start counting how many complicated people are in your life. Dealing with these individuals is a handful, and you will encounter some of them today. Tonight: A close conversation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Recognize your own bias when dealing with someone you generally look up to. You might have mixed feelings, presently. Tonight: Try dinner and a talk.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tap into your creativity rather than absorb someone’s negativity and/or fear. You know what the possibilities are, and you’ll start to see even more. Tonight: Add in a little friendly warmth.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to understand what a family member expects from you. Real estate and domestic matters could weave together. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You express yourself with clarity when addressing a misunderstanding or a difference in viewpoints with an important person in your daily life. Tonight: Hunker down at your pad.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be concerned about whether you are pitching in enough or perhaps too much. Look within yourself. Tonight: A leisurely chat over a meal.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Kansas University junior Caroline Kastor scored the golden goal in the 103rd minute as No. 23-ranked KU edged TCU, 3-2 in double overtime, on Sunday at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.

The overtime victory was the second of the season for KU (8-3-1 overall, 2-1 Big 12). TCU fell to 5-61 and 0-2.

TCU scored two goals in the final eight minutes of regulation to erase a 2-0 deficit and force overtime.

Following a TCU throwin deep in Kansas territory in the second overtime, freshman Courtney Dickerson intercepted the ball and found Kastor on the far side of the field. From there, Kastor played giveand-go with senior Whitney Berry, giving Kastor a breakaway along the far sideline. She cut in toward the goal and fired a shot over TCU goalkeeper Vittoria Arnold from 25 yards out for the game-winner.

It was Kastor’s teamleading eighth goal of the season.

Goals by sophomore

Jamie Fletcher and freshman Ashley Williams gave KU a 2-0 lead early in the second half.

TCU tied the score with 13 seconds remaining in regulation as Serena Smith-Banas finished a cross off the foot of Carly Bowen that eluded traffic on the near side of the net.

It marked the first time KU has allowed multiple goals in a match since a Sept. 9 victory over North Carolina State.

Fletcher had given KU a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute with her third goal of the season. Berry, who had

weekend and improved to 8-2 in their past 10 games against Kansas City.

Jackie Battle had a pair of scores against his former team, and Eddie Royal also caught a touchdown pass, helping the Chargers forget all about their debacle last season in Kansas City.

The teams were tied in the closing seconds when Rivers fumbled a snap, preventing San Diego from attempting the winning field goal. The game went to overtime and Kansas City prevailed.

“We made a big step today in terms of understanding when we have adversity, we have to handle it individually and collectively,” Chargers coach Norv Turner said.

It’s a lesson the Chiefs are still trying to learn.

“When you look at that, it’s almost surprising that we’ve gotten one (win),” Winston said.

he says it in a way that’s completely non-threatening and almost endearing.

“Come on, bro,” he said.

“I wear suits to class.”

Then there was the time when, because of his hometown’s proximity to Philadelphia, he was asked if he liked cheese steaks.

MISSED FIELD GOALS-None.

True foodie Ragone does not discriminate when it comes to food, and has found Lawrence to have plenty of suitable options.

“23rd Street Brewery’s pretty good,” he said. “I want to go to Basil Leaf.

My dad went there. He said it was very good.”

By first paying homage to West Coast Saloon’s Woo burger, Ragone continued: “I love Jefferson’s.

I’m a big Johnny’s Tavern guy — the food place, not the bar. The pizza’s good there. Their burgers? Slim Wilson. Huge, man.”

On Sept. 18, Ragone turned 24, “old” by his calculations. He didn’t do much to celebrate.

“Get some food, some treatment, watch film,” he said. “It’s another day.”

But his roommate and former Notre Dame teammate Anthony McDonald made sure it was more.

Knowing Ragone was a huge fan of video games, McDonald scored one of Ragone’s favorite games, “Sunset Riders,” for one of the seven gaming systems they have in their apartment.

“When I gave it to him, he was just like, ‘Oh, man, best present ever,’” McDonald said.

Asked what it was like to live with Ragone after rooming with a traditional student at Notre Dame, McDonald gathered himself and said, “It’s a lot different going from a regular student to Mike Ra-

‘… such a great town’ Like Ragone, McDonald has come to love Lawrence, a city he called the perfect place to end a college career.

“The thing that makes us keep believing this is such a great town is the people here have so much pride, regardless of how we’re doing,” McDonald said. “They just love the Jayhawks.”

So do a handful of Ragone’s friends and family from back home in Blackwood, New Jersey, several of whom made the trip to Lawrence for the season opener. Included among them was a man named Bob Yackle, Ragone’s youth football coach who was blown away when, during his layover in Chicago, a KU fan informed him that Ragone was one of the best interviews on the team.

“The funny thing about Mike is he was very, very quiet,” Yackle said with nearly the same accent as Ragone. “Never said nothing to nobody. He was ‘Yes. No. Maybe.’”

Yackle and Ragone have stayed in close touch throughout the years. Trips to the local steakhouse are a regular thing. Yackle even made the trip to Notre Dame for Ragone’s 21st birthday. Three years later, he sees a much different Ragone than he knew in the past.

“When he was at Notre Dame, I think he was more stressed,” Yackle said. “He’s more comfortable, more relaxed now. I remember saying to him, ‘You just gotta go back to having fun with football.’ I think he’s done that.”

The Ragone zone Ragone’s popularity has not been limited to the people who know him or the media. There’s a group of tailgaters who have a regular hangout halfway up the hill who have adopted Ragone as their favorite player. Yackle bumped into the group

Green mental health practice treats whole body

W

hen she saw her child’s autism dramatically improve with the removal of gluten and dairy from her diet, Sue Westwind thought she should try the same thing on herself.

A long history of battling fatigue, depression and migraines made her open to almost anything.

“In less than two weeks I started to feel so much better,” she said. “I dropped 30 pounds without trying. I thought, really, you can have energy and optimism?

Whole thought patterns of anxiety and depression — things I had worked on for decades — simply disappeared.

“I say my daughter Matty saved my life.

I can now work full time. It’s been a miracle, really.”

This early success prompted Westwind to wonder about other mind–body connections. She began exploring the burgeoning field of green mental health, or alternative treatment without the use of drugs.

Green mental health proponents say that getting the body back into balance will heal the mind. Traditional alternative treatments such as exercise and meditation make up only part of the regimen.

A green mental health approach looks at nutritional deficiencies and toxins in the system as well.

In addition to getting a full complement of nutrients often missing from the American processed food diet, such as vitamin C, people also need to detoxify

Go GREEN KELLY BARTH their bodies of aluminum, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals that accumulate in their bodies as a result of environmental contamination. Many of these toxins can cause depression.

Westwind said a primary goal of green mental health is to treat the whole body rather than automatically turn to antidepressants and other anti-psychotic medications, which can cause a whole host of side effects such as obesity, cardiovascular problems and sexual dysfunction.

“Many on these drugs, including huge numbers of teenagers, are having difficulty with emotional and physical intimacy,” she said. “So many of us are on antide-

pressants. We feel nothing. We’re joyless.

There’s so much pressure to be an achiever, to be happy. What will we become as a species if the range of emotions, the ability to experience intimacy, goes out the window?

“The most exciting thing about this field is that it could change the stigma of mental illness. By putting the body into the equation, it could help us treat the whole person and dismantle the stigma.

It’s a very compassionate approach.”

As a green mental health coach, Westwind offers a course called “Natural Mind” based on a text by integrative health practitioner Dr. Mark Hyman. She also practices eco-therapy, or outdoor therapy, based on a person’s connection to the natural world.

“As we talk through issues, I encourage people to be mindful of where they are. We look at features in nature and see how we are what we see. I help them draw metaphors from the natural world and break down the barrier of separateness. It’s an illusion that we’re somehow separate from all that surrounds us, that we’re stewards rather than equal participants. We are nature.”

Readers can learn more about green mental health at Westwind’s web site, naturalmindwellmind.com.

Theaters start program for military families, veterans

P

ROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Nearly two dozen theaters around the country will offer free and discounted tickets for plays, classes and other services to veterans and military families under a program being launched this week that builds off a similar one for museums.

The Blue Star Theatre program was to be launched at the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence on Friday by National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco

Landesman, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, Maj. Gen. Kevin McBride of the Rhode Island National Guard and others, Reed’s office announced Thursday.

The program is a partnership of Blue Star Families, a national nonprofit network of military families, the NEA, the national theater organization the Theatre Communications Group and the participating theaters.

The program will offer workshops and playwriting classes to veterans, job post-

ings and casting notices on military bases.

It was inspired by the Blue Star Museums program, in which more than 1,800 museums nationwide offer free or reduced summer admission to military families.

That program launched in 2010.

Reed, a former Army Ranger, called the theater program a natural extension of the Obama administration’s Joining Forces initiative to support military families.

“These types of programs remind our

troops and their families how much we value and appreciate their service to our nation,” he said.

The participating theaters include William Inge Center for the Arts in Independence, Kan., in addition to theaters in California, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Oregon, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.

REFURBISHER MAKES OLD NEW AGAIN

BY ADAM STRUNK

A

rusted mattress spring, a vegetable strainer and black walnut end table last fashionable during the Nixon era: they’re not things you want to decorate your house — that is, until Susan Theroff gets her hands on them.

Theroff is the artist and designer at Dragonfly Farm, part workshop, part urban escape on the west side of Clinton Lake, 259 N. 1250th Road in Berryton. She turns the old and unwanted offspring of garage sales and estate auctions into home decor she describes as “farmhouse chic.”

“We try to do things that are a little bit different, unique, my own vision, try to bring that to life and share it with folks, try to make design affordable and something that’s fun for people to use in their homes,” Theroff said She sells the items, online and from her shop, to those wanting to spruce up their homes with a modern take on old-fashioned.

“I think people appreciate re-using items. A lot of vintage items were made here in the States,” she said. “That, and saving something from going to the Dumpster. There is something that is more of a return to the appreciation to the handmade.”

Wardrobes, cabinets, end tables and chairs are her big sellers, but decorative items also bring in income. The vegetable strainer turns into a lamp shade. The rusted mattress spring — bejeweled with lights — becomes an artsy chandelier.

“I always say I’m inspired by nature, magic and dreams.

My mind is constantly going. Things just hit you — sometimes you just see them exactly, and it’s like, ‘I know exactly what I’m going to do with that.’ Nobody else understands. They say, ‘You want this?’” she said, laughing.

For Theroff, it provides a paycheck as well as an artistic outlet. But it also provides something else: a family experience.

Theroff once ran an antique shop and lived Liberty, Mo., before she grew tired of “the suburban lifestyle.”

“It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, but after eight years we were ready for a change. I really wanted to do something that allowed me to stay home with her (daughter Birgette, 5), and she’s our only child, but yet still be able to create and design.”

So now she works from home, often until the early hours of the morning, sanding, painting, sewing, upholstering and rebuilding furniture from the ground up.

“It’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of time on each piece that people don’t necessarily see. It’s a lot of dirty work — you get dusty from sanding and dirt gets in the house.

It has a way of taking over your life. It just kind of spreads.”

When she isn’t working on furniture, she is spending time with her daughter, chauffeuring her back and forth from school as well as tending the garden and taking care of the farm’s free-range chickens.

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photos

SUSAN THEROFF, ARTIST AND DESIGNER at Dragonfly Farm, above, moves some antiques around in her small barn in Berryton. “I always say I’m inspired by nature, magic and dreams. My mind is constantly going,” Theroff says. AT LEFT, her 40-footby-24-foot barn is full of furniture and other items she has refurbished.

It might be a lot of work, but she doesn’t do it alone.

“I couldn’t do this without the help of my folks and my husband. It takes all of this to make this sort of happen.”

Her parents, Torben and Jytte Klarlund, originally from Denmark, now live close by in Lawrence after falling in love with the city’s “provincial” feel. Torben repairs all of her broken furniture and does any electrical work Theroff needs. And Jytte (pronounced like Utah) is Theroff’s “eyes,” traveling about looking for furniture with “good bones” and any other useful items. Jytte has a particular method for finding furniture.

“The uglier it is the better, so you can kind of get more satisfaction from it looking at before and after,” Jytte said as she repainted a table.

All of the family help comes in handy for Theroff, as s he gears up for the Halloween and Christmas seasons.

“It’s a lot of coffee and a lot of Advil right now. It’s a lot of sweating,” she said.

For Theroff, it’s hard work and a different sort of life than living in the suburbs, but among her free-range chickens, her family and her hilltop view of Clinton Lake, Theroff said she’s happy she went rural and started her new business.

“Living 20-something years in suburban life, we were ready to come back to the country. The cows across the street are our best neighbors,” she said “That’s what we wanted for our daughter. That kind of upbringing is great.”

The Summerhouse

BY VERA PETROVIC

A

narrow brick path let up to a collection of dozens of roses, all tucked securely into the wet ground.

These flowers marked the entrance of a tall, tancolored house with light blue window shades. I planted myself into the soft dirt and watched all the fluttering birds circling the structure. A squeaky window slid open, and a petite, delicate woman yelled out a greeting in Serbian.

It was my aunt, who rushed to the window, and down several fleets of stairs before she burst out of the door and embraced us all. A jumble of words I couldn’t sort out filled my ears, and I stood awkwardly nodding my head. I watched my parents chattering away and my brother responding in crisp, almostfluent sentences. I tried to remember the few Serbian words I knew, but I could only recall the simple words that meant “yes” and “no.”

Aunt Sanja led my brother Stefan and me up two flights of stairs before she stopped and opened a door at the end of the hallway. It revealed a little blue bed with a nightstand for a companion. My brother, not caring if the room was meant for him or not, collapsed into the bed and closed his eyes. My aunt smiled and quietly shut the door. We walked across the hall to a small room that looked equally as comfortable. Brief exchanges of sentences were spoken before my aunt grinned and asked, “Be downstairs in — er — 20 minuta (minutes).”

I hugged her eagerly, full of love at her efforts and so happy to see her.

After Aunt Sanja closed the door, I flopped down onto the bed and shut my eyes. A feeling of anxiety and worry washed over me. How was I supposed to communicate with my family? A knot formed in my stomach when I thought about their stressed faces when they tried to speak English for me. I wished I could be like my brother whose mind soaked in any language he studied — he was a polyglot, and I could speak only English.

I jumped up from the bed and unzipped the blue suitcase my mother had bought me. A little compartment revealed my journal, which I opened and began scribbling down Serbian phrases. My list held 15 words by the time my aunt appeared at the door again. Stefan joined us in the hallway, and we walked down the wooden steps to the family room.

We had not taken even three steps before my brother and I were bombarded with hugs and kisses. Bundles of happy voices fluttered around, and the feeling of belonging to this extended family lessened the uneasiness of my not being able to communicate with them. When I had a chance to look up, I saw my family packed onto leather couches and sinking armchairs. A welcoming followed, in which boiled potatoes and thick, brown steaks were laid out onto plates and served to everyone in the room. Dozens of happy phrases were told to Stefan and me again and again.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR This fictional short story was written by Vera Petrovic, 11, a sixth-grader at South Middle School.

She got the inspiration for this story while visiting her family several years ago in a number of European countries, mostly in the former Yugoslavia region. Vera

After every plate had been eaten clean, a layered cake covered in icing was set in the middle of the coffee table.

The chattering reduced to softy, sleepy whispers as the dessert was scooped onto plates, and I settled back into my chair to enjoy it.

When I awoke the next morning, sunlight was leaking through the little window onto my face. Back at home, I would have usually stayed in my bed and stared up at the ceiling for a while, but excitement overtook common habit, and I leaped from the soft gray sheets onto the wooden floor. The fresh feeling of being the only one awake — or so it seemed — in a silent house swept over me. I rummaged around in my suitcase until my hands felt my rubbery shoes, and I quickly put them on. I slow-

ly opened the door, trying to avoid any squealing noises, and slipped out into the hallway. A window framing a scene of a cherry tree grove cast light over the carpeted hall.

I carefully made my way down the steps, not wanting to wake anyone. Downstairs, someone had decorated the kitchen with ruffled blue flowers and had drawn the curtains up with lace. A bowl of pretzel sticks was on the table, surrounded by a few crumbs. I was unsure whether they were leftovers from the previous night, or if someone was already up and was perhaps outside in the backyard.

A burst of soft wind and warmth met me at the door, and taking a step out, I welcomed it gladly. The trees full of almost ripe cherries rocked back and forth, and the rising sun reflected onto the wet roses. A few blades of grass stuck out of the crowd but otherwise, the lawn had been neatly cut. An old man hobbled by on the dusty dirt path that was separated from the summer house by a tall gate. A few chickens were scattered behind him, clucking at the distant hills that awaited them.

A stone path led me around the house and onto a dusty plot of earth. It was occupied by only a splintery yellow doghouse. I stood silently, wondering if whatever was in there would accept my presence easily. After taking a strangled step toward the small living space, I retreated and jogged down the grassy hill to a small shelter.

I decided to wait until my parents were up to become acquainted with the creature.

Watching a grill smeared with coal did not seem as

appealing as resuming my expedition, so I bounced off of the picnic bench I was sitting on and bounded down the steps that emerged from the bright field. Large, brown bricks substituted for a sidewalk, and I leaped from each one, daring myself not to step on the patches of grass. Gleaming brightly in the midst of the morning scene was a fenced basketball court. The flooring was painted a dark green, reminding me of a shady forest floor.

I skipped down an adjacent path toward two twisted trees that cradled a plastic red swing. Light brown ropes emerging from the swing were attached to the branches above. I hopped onto the swing, where I pushed my feet forward and swung them back, rocking underneath the tree’s maternal shadow in innocent pleasure. I jumped off fairly quickly, though, distracted by the echo of a soothing voice.

Another fence was stuck into the ground a few feet away, and cautiously looking over the edge, I saw overlapping green hills that guarded three distant mountains.

A bit farther down, I could see an old woman with a patterned headscarf tossing something to a jumble of gray and brown goats. She was speaking to her beloved animals in Serbian, but I could tell that she didn’t treat them as goats. She cooed to her pets as if they were human, smiling with delight when they made noises of appreciation.

The old woman slowly began moving down a path, and I followed her from my distance. I neared a tall brick structure inside a garden that rippled with popping yellow and red marigolds. Roses almost identical to the ones in the front yard neatly lined the wall, and small blue flowers were planted with petals untouched by the dirt. I would have gone on admiring the plants, but the woman was leading her goats farther down the valley below. I wanted to watch them gracefully walk the hills, but climbing up onto the brick wall was the only way to see them. My stomach churned, thinking of one misplaced step ... I retreated back up the hill and sat down to enjoy the soft, dew-covered grass.

The morning feeling and smells had seeped into the kitchen by the time I returned. My aunt and mother were frying palachinkas in a pan, turning over each thin pancake after a few moments. Stefan was setting the breakfast table a few feet away.

“Hey, Vera,” he said as he unscrewed the lid of a peanut butter jar.

“Have you been outside?” I asked quiet-

{5

ly, as if the backyard was my own secret.

He shook his head and I determinedly said that we were going there after breakfast. Plates clattered onto the table as my aunt repeatedly urged us to eat. I stabbed my butter-knife into a chocolaty spread and gently layered the Nutella onto a pancake. My stomach was pleading for a bite as I raised the palachinka to my mouth, but I quickly set it down. Footsteps creaked from above, and I could hear someone bounding down the stairs.

Damir, my cousin, appeared into the hallway and sat down by me.

“How’s it going, Princess?” he asked with a big grin.

I shoved him in the arm and reminded him that he couldn’t call me that anymore. It filled me with a bubbling feeling, though, that churned around my arms and legs and stomach.

Maybe I couldn’t speak in the same way as my family or understand them all the time. But perhaps we had a different way of communicating. A way where something else protruded from the stressed words we spoke. A kind of love found at the central core of our hearts, one that broke the barriers of language and proved that compassion was something physical; the deepest sort of love is one that is felt, not spoken. Yesterday, I was worried about embarrassing myself. I thought that even the simplest phrases would be clouded with differences in tongue, but now — The front door opened, awoke me, and I stared out at the morning as I started eating again. Now, I wasn’t bothered by that. There was something almost magical about the summerhouse gardens.

Something that washed away anxiety and replenished one’s mind with simple beauties. I realized that I was in Europe, in a backyard as captivating and treasured as a museum exhibit, with a family that I loved, and I knew that any fears about coming were miniscule and no longer mattered. My head was surrounded by newly found questions and an exploring urge that I had felt this morning was covering all over me again. I felt a new blossoming of courage spring within me.

With my sword held high, I was ready to conquer the summerhouse’s gardens.

I would walk on the brick structure and see the entire mountain range for myself, and I would meet the inhabitant of the doghouse.

“Princess,” Stefan said with a sneer. I glared at him, and stuck out my tongue. I knew I was going to need a bit more than a sword to confront that name.

Encourage son’s girlfriend to discuss birth control options with her parents Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: My son and I have a great relationship. I’ve followed your advice and been open with him about sex and birth control. Recently that paid off when he asked that I help his girlfriend get on birth control. He admitted they’d already had sex.

Her mom doesn’t know she’s sexually active, and I’m in a quandary about what to do. I don’t want to be a grandparent, and I’m aware that condoms aren’t nearly effective enough. But I feel bad going behind this other parent’s back to advise her daughter on contraception. Advice?

Katie: Though learning about a son or daughter’s sexual activity is rarely a parents’ idea of a celebratory tile in the Game of Life, your candid relationship with your son should be cherished. His trust gives you the opportunity to prevent the situation from taking a turn for the worse, but it’s doubtful that your influence extends to convincing the couple to put off sex altogether. They are, however, demonstrating responsibility, and you’ll do no harm by helping the girlfriend obtain birth control as soon as possible, assuming she’s over the age of consent for sex.

Ideally, it should be the girlfriend who tells her parents that she is sexually active and taking the pill. If you take this responsibility out of her hands and do it yourself, she will lose the opportunity to make this adult decision on her own and learn from it. Additionally, betraying your son’s trust, no matter how good your intentions, could make him think twice before including you in his future choices.

Sit down with each teen separately to reiterate that you’re helping them because you want them to be safe, not because you approve of teen sex. Remind them that her

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT parents have as much right to know as you do and encourage her to tell them. After all, until she’s an adult, her health — both physical and mental — is their responsibility. If she still won’t tell her parents, reserve the right to call them up.

This isn’t the time to be a warm and fuzzy mother, but neither is it your time to use scare tactics. Instead, appeal to their sense of adulthood: If they’re mature enough to have sex, they should be held to adult standards of honesty and personal responsibility.

Dr. Wes: I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes, though I often am. I maintain confidentiality when discussing these matters with teens as long as imminent safety is not an issue. Kids appreciate that, and parents understand that this is part of the therapy process. Exceptions include risk of self-harm, unprotected sex, or serious drug and alcohol use. For the most part, I err on the side of caution.

You are in a tougher spot because you

have no clear obligation. There’s no ethical code for parents of teens, nor informed consent forms to sign. You really have to wing it and figure out what the ethical stance is on your own.

For some reason I can’t quite fathom, we’re still debating birth control in America in 2012. That defies all reason. As we’ll discuss in two weeks in this column, the statistics on how many kids are sexually active greatly underestimate the actual pool of those wanting to be. It’s a much smaller minority that remains abstinent by choice. So you were wise to prepare your son for this day and fortunate that he took you seriously.

I agree with Katie that you have a duty to try and convince this girl to talk to her parents. However, if she refuses, you are not in a position to force the issue or out her. Teens have a right to access birth control in this and most states at any age and to maintain confidentiality about that from their parents. While I wouldn’t suggest you take charge of the situation, I think your son has shown sufficient responsibility to work with his girlfriend to get the job done, and you not only have a right but an obligation to advise him on this topic. You could even have him sit down with his physician for a private meeting to discuss options, which he could then share with his partner.

This is far from a perfect solution, but it is well within your scope of practice as a parent and will help you avoid an early pregnancy in your son’s life. You are to be congratulated for having an excellent working relationship with this young man. Pat yourself on the back!

BOYS GET TO STEP UP Mixed-discipline class helps kids reap athletic benefits of dance

BY SARA SHEPHERD

T

his is no classical ballet class, and that’s by design.

Acceptable attire includes sports jerseys and basketball shorts. It’s OK to squirrel around between exercises. And if you feel like screaming hi-ya! in the middle of a routine, no one’s going to stop you.

Ask the 8-year-old in the “It’s my brother’s fault” T-shirt, who’ll tell you this is fun.

“I really — a lot — like dancing,” Christopher Howard said, grinning on his way out of a recent class at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. Ballet and other dance can be great cross-training for athletes, but tights, rigidity and the fear of looking silly — especially in front of girls — can be big turnoffs for typical boys. The arts center’s Athletic Movement Training for Boys and Young Men class, open to third-graders through seniors in high school, proves dance instruction doesn’t have to fit the traditional mold for participants to reap the physical and social benefits.

Boys are generally naturally athletic, said Ashley Boyack, who teaches traditional dance at the arts center and has two sons in the Athletic Movement class: “But some boys may need a little

Boyack is helping write the curriculum for the class, funded by Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s Assists Foundation. It connects dance styles such as popping and locking to sports movements such as the type of ducking and weaving you might do with a ball, bat or racket in your hand. Mentally, Boyack added,

learning choreography sequences is a lot like learning athletic drills. !"!"!

As a physical education major years ago, even Lawrence High School head football coach Dirk Wedd took dance, a general class featuring ballroom and square dance. He believes it serves a pur-

pose in athletics.

“We have some young kids that need to work on being quicker and having better balance, and just coordination,” Wedd said. “Those are all skills that dance stresses.”

Several years ago, Wedd recalled convincing a couple of big linemen with lessthan-stellar agility to try ballet, in hopes

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER HOWARD, Lawrence, leaps across the floor during an Athletic Movement class Sept. 14 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. that “doing something with their feet would only help.” They may not have become superstars, he said, but they did improve.

Putting athletes in positions where they have to adapt is good for them, Wedd said, and sticking with something they may not be comfortable doing takes discipline. Dance can improve social skills, too.

“As a high school coach, you’re worried about all aspects,” he said.

Recently at the arts center, Christopher and about 15 classmates powered — not necessarily with ease — through an hour of stretches, push ups, frog jumps, ballet jumps and MTV backup-dancer style choreography with plenty of energy left for free-styling at the end.

Christopher has played some soccer and done some wrestling but has always loved dancing around, according to his father, Michael How-

ard. The moves in some more traditional classes seemed too advanced, Howard said, but “we found this, and he loved it.” !"!"!

Class instructor Matt Rodriguez, who has a degree in dance from KU, said incorporating all dance styles makes his class unique.

With his students presumably out there kicking, throwing, batting and running, he doesn’t want them to miss out on the benefits of pointed toes from ballet, body isolation from jazz or quick direction changes from hip-hop. Besides athleticism, being forced to move your body in new ways can help confidence.

“They’re getting stuff thrown at them that they wouldn’t get anywhere else,” Rodriguez said.

school and T-ball and baseball as a child. He also did karate. He’s pretty sure if he’d been taking dance back then, he would have been a better athlete.

In middle school, he loved watching Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake videos and was usually the guy in the center of the circle at dances. In high school, a girl cajoled him into trying out for the dance team. Rodriguez said his mother “cursed up a storm,” sure they would make him wear a skirt (they didn’t, but he did have to pull on an Under Armour shirt to cover his midriff on one particularly “embarrassing” outfit).

“She was so afraid of what everyone was going to say to me,” he said.

“I did it anyway and loved it.”

Maintaining a class environment where students feel comfortable is huge, Rodriguez said.

As a result, various iterations of the running man, the worm, cartwheels and all kinds of unclassified gyrations come out in force.

“It’s full of testosterone, but then again it doesn’t force them to be society’s version of testosterone,” Rodriguez said. “They can be manly while shaking their head and shaking their legs and shaking their booties and having a good time.”

The take-home point of the class mantra, which Rodriguez has the group repeat at each session, is: “I came to dance class to have a great time. I will never, ever point or make fun of anybody because I know they’re having fun, too. I will always dance.”

Do you think dancing ability relates to athletic ability?

“Yes, the amount of strength, effort and dedication it takes is equal to or greater than athletic ability.”

Demi Gerow, server at Free State Brewing Company, Lawrence “No, I don’t think they relate. I understand how footwork relates into that, but as far as the rest of your athleticism, I don’t think it matters.”

“Yes, there’s a bunch of coordination that goes into that. The flexibility you have to have is ridiculous.”

Cycling brings new adventures after hip surgery Editor’s note: Karrey wrote a firsthand account on joint replacement in a threepart series that was published in the Journal-World in July 2011. This is a follow-up story to that series.

LAWRENCE JOURNALWORLD HEALTH REPORTER KARREY BRITT TAKES OFF on Day 2 of the Kansas City Bike MS ride on Sept.

23. Following right behind her are fellow team members Craig Weinaug, center, and Katie Bean, far left. The three participated in the two-day event as part of Team Droopy, which represents Kansas University police officer Jimmie Druen, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

icycling has replaced running in my life.

About five years ago, I learned that I would need hip replacement. While most people need joint replacement because of osteoarthritis, trauma or illness, I needed one because it was congenital. My hips didn’t form correctly, and this happens in about one of every 1,000 births.

Dr. Kelly Hendricks, a Kansas University orthopedic surgeon, estimated I would need surgery in one to five years on both my right and left hip. He said I could bicycle, swim or walk, but no more running because it would be hard on the joints and would accelerate the time I would need surgery.

No more running for a lifelong runner was difficult advice to digest. Yes, there were tears, and I thought, “Why me? Why not somebody who doesn’t like to run?”

But, I followed his advice and went on walks instead of runs to stay in shape.

I also dusted off a mountain bicycle, bought a helmet and started venturing out. I had forgotten how much fun bicycling could be.

As a kid, I used to pedal around our farm and up and down nearby dirt roads.

In high school, my younger brother and I would go on long adventures, which we still talk about.

I mainly rode the mountain bicycle up and down the South Lawrence Trafficway bicycle path because it’s a safe and scenic 23-mile route from my house, and I found myself going on rides more often as the pain worsened. Bicycling actually helped my joint pain, so I rode up until a few days before my surgery both times. !"!"!

At age 40, I had my right hip replacement on May 19, 2011, and my left hip replacement six months later on Nov. 15.

Thanks to an early spring, I was able to get back on the bike just a couple of months after surgery, and I decided it was time for a road bicycle because I wanted to go longer distances.

Special to the Journal-World

In late June, I purchased my first road bike at Sunflower Bike Shop in downtown Lawrence, and I quickly learned you need much more than a bicycle to go farther.

Among the other items I have purchased: padded shorts (a must), insulated water bottles, sunglasses, gloves and a CamelBak, which is a bag that holds water and other items.

Fortunately for me, I can tolerate the heat so that didn’t stop me from riding this summer. I started by going across the Clinton Lake dam and riding on county roads close to the city limits. Then my friend Christine Metz, a longtime bicyclist, showed me how to get to Lone Star Lake, and I was amazed by the beautiful scenery. A week or two later, she and her husband lead me on a 50-mile ride with a stop at Lone Star Lake and Clinton Lake’s Bloomington Beach.

Since then, I have gone on at least one bicycle ride, ranging from 40 miles to 60 miles, every weekend. Part of my motivation was training for the Bike MS: Kansas City ride on Sept. 22-23. I had options of riding 38 miles, 71 miles or 101 miles on the first day and then 38 miles or 71 miles on the second day. I was determined to do 71 miles both days, and I did.

!"!"!

On the first day, I rode from Olathe to Lawrence, and there was a cold northerly wind and lots of hills that kind of took the fun out of the ride for the first 40 miles or so, but all of the other riders — at least 2,100 cyclists participated in the event — helped pull me through to De Soto. From there, the hills were minimal, the temperatures were warmer, and it was fun crossing the finish line and hanging out with my team members who opted for the 38mile route. I was the first back from the longer routes.

On Day 2, temperatures quickly rose to about 70 degrees and there was a slight tailwind, so I enjoyed the return ride from Lawrence to Olathe, but I wished there were more cyclists who joined me. Many riders didn’t participate in Day 2 of the ride or opted for the shorter route.

Fortunately, I kind of coerced my colleague Katie Bean in joining me on the long ride. On Day 1, she opted for the shorter route, so at the decision point on Day 2 — mile 30 — I stopped and waited for her, hoping my mere presence would entice her to follow, and it worked.

By the fourth Support and Gear station, commonly called a SAG stop, Katie seemed

like she was spent. As she stretched, she gave me the OK to go on without her. I had told her the last 20 miles were pretty flat, so as I climbed the hills that I had so recently forgotten, I kept thinking, “Katie is going to kill me.”

At mile 56, the pain in my behind became almost unbearable. I shifted back and forth on my seat until I could stand and rest at the last SAG stop. That brief stop made a huge difference, and then I headed to the finish line.

Though Katie finished the 71-mile route, she said she doesn’t plan to participate in such a long ride again. I, however, am hooked and plan to participate in Octoginta — an 80-mile ride that goes through northeast Kansas — on Oct. 14.

The ride is organized by the Lawrence Bicycle Club and draws hundreds of bicyclists each year.

I’m still learning the ropes of cycling, but it has provided a new lease on life along with my hip replacements. Every ride brings a new adventure.

Conscious awareness leads to greater self-control

C

onscious intention may be loosely defined as the capacity to create an aim or purpose with awareness.

Underlying our conscious intention is brain activity. In fact, scientific studies reveal that the brain has already put an action into motion before a conscious intention is created!

Think about it — are you hungry before you say “I’m hungry,” or when you say it? The timing of this process of brain activity followed by the mind’s recognition of impending action at times seems infinitesimal.

Yet it is also true that the ability to shorten the time between brain-driven action and conscious awareness may influence one’s ability to govern behavior, thus avoiding unintended behaviors (such as overeating).

We see this phenomenon all the time in our work with Brainwave Optimization technology.

An example: Throughout the day, a young girl picks at her lip until it bleeds.

She is unconscious of this activity until it is pointed out to her or she notices the blood on her fingers. We see in her brainwave assessment that she has a significant imbalance in her temporal lobes causing delays in timing. As the postassessment brain training progresses and temporal lobe activity (along with all other lobe activity) balances and the intensity of activity decreases, she is finding it easier to recognize the urges to pick — at first, stopping herself when she becomes aware she is picking; and then stopping the behavior before it starts. Eventually, the energy in the brain driving the behavior no longer exists.

Essentially, the process involved the gradual reduction of the time between brain activity and conscious awareness

Mind

JENA AND ED BLOCH

It is not outside of our own human capacity to influence the timing between brain activity and conscious awareness.

We can directly influence the behaviors we wish to reduce or extinguish. leading to a greater capacity for self control. In addition, she was able to influence the brain activity by changing her response to it.

It is not outside of our own human capacity to influence the timing between brain activity and conscious awareness.

We can directly influence the behaviors we wish to reduce or extinguish. We can as well influence and increase the behav-

iors that we want to develop and thereby increase the positive feelings that result from them.

We know the amazing capacity of Tibetan Buddhist monks to control brain activity and behavior. The mastery is the result of years of meditation that continuously closes the gap between the brain and mind activity.

Most of us do not have the time or patience to practice meditation to the extent Tibetan Buddhist monks do (though this would be a pretty peaceful world if we all did). But there are measures we can take that take up less time and can produce quality results.

The first step is to stop expecting that you “should” be able to do this or that without conscious effort.

It is amazing how much we forget the incredible stress we are all under in today’s world. We greet the day running from task to task, responsibility to responsibility and expectation to expectation with little consciousness; all the while living with financial crises all around us, wars, political divisiveness, cultural and religious intolerance, and a variety of other environmental stresses.

And when we are exhausted at night, can’t focus on our job or studies during the day, struggle with emotional instability, feel anxious and overwhelmed, what do we do? We ask the question, “What is wrong with me?” As if that isn’t enough, there is usually someone close by who is there to point out that there is “something wrong with you.”

Well-being starts with the awareness of what it is like to be a human being in this world.

Here are just two things you can do to start down the path of creating greater conscious intention and attention.

! Put off until tomorrow those things you will do tomorrow. How many of us go to bed with tomorrow’s activities as part of our thoughts? Nothing like a good review of tomorrow’s stresses to make sleeping a fitful event.

Before bed, write down tomorrow’s planned tasks and place it in a drawer.

Then create an intention around sleep.

Like, “I intend to seek peace and relaxation at this time.” Then place your attention on those things that give you peace.

Read a favorite Bible verse, pet your dog or cat, give your family members hugs, meditate, etc. Be sure your attention is on what you are doing. Take in the positive feeling and imagine your heart soaking in it. Smile in appreciation of the feeling and take yourself to bed.

Upon awakening, don’t immediately grab your task list from the drawer. Don’t lay there and lament the day’s events before they even unfold. Instead, take some time to connect to the positive feeling you created the night before. Connect to the same things that created that feeling. Let your heart soak in appreciation and gratitude.

Create an intention for the day. How do you want to be today? As you move into task mode, do so with grace and a smile on your face. ! Practice, practice, practice! You will add things along the way that work for you. If you think those Buddhist monks were masters after a day, a week or a year, don’t fool yourself. However, continuous focus on intention and using your intention as a guide to know where to place your attention will lead to greater mastery of your experience.

Style FOR THE AGES

}

The layered outfit you can never go wrong with is a white collared shirt underneath a dark wool V-neck sweater, topped off with a blazer or nice coat.

VAUGHN SCRIBNER

The layers of fall I

t’s finally fall: Football games. Changing leaves. Pumpkins. You get the picture.

Fall also brings chilly weather, though, which brings me to the fashion part of this column — layering. You don’t have to be overly fashion-conscious to layer your clothes well. Guys have been doing it since the beginning of time.

In fact, layering is another one of these great style decisions that is just as practical as it is fashionable.

You need to bundle up against the oncoming fall weather, but before you opt for the same old ski coat you bought 10 years ago, take a look at this simple guide to layering with practical, classic style.

I really want to stress that there is no right or wrong way to layer. Go with what you like and what makes you feel good.

That’s what personal style is all about — adding your own flair and making what you wear represent who you are.

However, there are some classic guide-

lines that will never go out of style and will always make you one of the best-dressed — and most practically bundled — guys in any room. Take the following advice as a starting point, and go from there.

The layered outfit you can never go wrong with is a white collared shirt underneath a dark wool V-neck sweater, topped off with a blazer or nice coat.

First, you need a white, button-down, collared shirt. Oxford or broadcloth is fine — just make sure the shirt fits you well because with layering it’s not just a collar peeking out from beneath a sweater. If the weather changes, it might end up being your main layer of clothing.

Next, invest in a slim-fitting 100 AP File Photo

How to stay both stylish and warm

percent wool V-neck sweater in a dark, neutral shade like black, grey, blue or brown.

While a 100 percent wool sweater might cost you a little bit more, there’s a reason people have been wearing wool clothing for thousands of years. Wool is warm, water-resistant, breathes well, holds up to the elements and is generally more durable than cottons or blends.

A dark sweater also goes with about everything and will look great over your white collared shirt.

What you want to wear over your shirt-sweater combo is more dependent on personal style, wardrobe options and weather. If the weather isn’t especially cold, I recommend slipping into a blazer.

As usual, the options are endless on

what style of blazer you wear, but I think this is a great opportunity to pull that gray suit jacket out of the closet that you bought for job interviews and weddings, and haven’t worn for a year. If the weather turns colder, you can always opt for a classic pea coat, university coat or car coat.

Finish this look off with some dark pants and nice shoes (avoid sneakers), and you’ll be ready to go. However, it doesn’t have to end there. You can always spice up your outfit with a scarf, hat, tie, etc.

This is all personal preference and gives you a chance to add a dash of personal style to this basic outfit.

But this is the beauty of layering — there is no right or wrong way. I’ve just given you a start, and you can always alter any of these options to fit your individual style. No matter what, you’ll be warm and classically stylish.

Step up to the plates this month

River City Jules

N

ow that I am nearly 41, I have noticed the conversations my friends and I carry taking a different turn.

Talk about cute sunglasses, high heels and push-up bras has turned to reading glasses, sensible shoes and mammograms.

I’m still in denial about reading glasses and sensible shoes, but I am all too familiar with the mammogram and, as we kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, want to make sure my sisters pushing 40 will step up to the plate(s) and get squished, too.

We Lawrencians are blessed that we can get screened at top-notch facilities right here in town. None of the three Lawrence Memorial Hospital imaging centers are farther than a seven-minute drive from a celebratory post-squeeze latte, and all of them (and I have been to all of them) are staffed by tremendously skilled and caring techs and radiologists.

I arrived for my appointment last year on a crisp October day. The technician handed me a gown (open in the front) and accessories (you will not find pasties like these just anywhere!) and led me to the imaging room.

A large glass plate waited, on which the technician placed my girls, one at a time, each getting the full press as an x-ray was taken. I have never breast-fed a whale, but for the brief moment I was in the grip of the machine, I imagined this was what it might feel like.

Afterward, I changed into my own clothes, skipped back to the car and headed out for a celebratory pumpkin latte.

The next day, the phone rang.

They wanted to see me again, this time for a close-up technically called a “compression” mammogram.

JULIE DUNLAP

I did not think any machine or technician could further compress what little mammary gland I still sport after nursing four children, but it turns out they can. Using a super-magnified ta-ta tester (or something like that), the radiologist was able to examine particles within the tissue smaller than grains of sand.

Clearly his near vision is much sharper — and his education much more advanced — than mine, as all I saw on the film was a veiny blob.

Suspicious these particles might be up to no good, the radiologist then ordered a biopsy. Now, “biopsy” is a frightening word.

People generally like to hear words like “looking good” or “clearance sale.” Luckily, I knew the odds of any words more frightening coming my way were slim. But, as a precaution I went in for that biopsy, leaving with an ace bandage wrapped around my torso and instructions to not operate a vacuum or lift anything heavy.

Two days later my doctor called with the “looking good” I hoped for. I hit a clearance sale to celebrate, caramel latte in hand.

Most important of all, though, I am heading back for another check this year, and every year after, and I hope you gals (and the gals in your lives) will do the same.

Install a rural mailbox

I

nstalling a rural-type mailbox and post requires a little forethought and just about enough elbow grease to dig a 3-foot hole.

Step 1: Call Dig Safe by dialing 811 before digging any hole to avoid damage to underground cables or pipes.

Step 2: Choose a spot to mount the mailbox that meets all local and national codes and regulations. According to the U.S. Postal Service, the bottom of the mailbox should be between 41 inches and 45 inches above the ground. The front of the mailbox should be 6 inches to 8 inches from the edge of the road.

Step 3: Dig a hole that is three times the diameter of the mailbox post and has a depth a little over one-third the height of the overall post.

Step 4: Pour 6 inches of gravel into the hole for drainage, and then set the post into the hole.

Step 5: Adjust the position of the post to assure the mailbox will meet all the necessary height and distance requirements.

Step 6: Fill the hole around the post with dry concrete mix. Leave room at the top of the hole for about 3 inches of soil.

Regular concrete mix with gravel aggregate will work fine for setting the post. A

fast-setting concrete mix will make the job a little quicker and eliminate the need to brace the post while the concrete sets up.

Step 7: Following the concrete manufacturer’s instructions, pour the required amount of water into the hole and allow the concrete to set, making sure the post stays level throughout the process.

Step 8: Once the concrete has set, top off the last 3 inches of the hole with soil.

Step 9: Use a set of metal mounting braces or a scrap of 1-inch thick lumber cut to fit the length and width of the mailbox bottom. Attach the mounting braces or board to the mailbox post, following the manufacturer’s instructions if applicable.

Step 10: Use 1-inch-long weather-resistant screws to attach the mailbox to the mounting board or use stainless steel machine screws and nuts to attach the mailbox to the mounting brace.

Step 11: Once the mailbox is securely in place, mark the sides and front with the street address and install some reflectors on the post sides to discourage nighttime accidents.
