Father’s concern wasn’t enough to save son

MICHAEL RUTZ, OF ENTERPRISE, an Army veteran and high school special education teacher, prepares to place a rose on his son’s grave during funeral services Wednesday at Sunrise Cemetery in Manhattan. His son, Daniel, died Sept. 24 at age 28 after battling mental illness for years. Rutz believes the state’s health care system failed to help his son get the treatment he needed to get better. Daniel was in and out of state hospitals 12 times during the past two years.

Cracks in mental health care system devastating to many who fall through

By Karrey Britt

ENTERPRISE — Michael Rutz was filled with anger, frustration and sadness. The day before, he had attended the funeral and graveside services of his only son, Daniel, who died at age 28 after battling mental illness.

Daniel suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression and anxiety. Rutz said he relied on prescription drugs

to get through each day.

“He was always trying to find a way where he could just be at peace with himself and deal with Daniel Rutz life around him,” Rutz said. “He always said, ‘I want to be normal.’”

During the past two years, Daniel was in and out of two of the state’s three hospitals for

the mentally ill — Osawatomie State Hospital and Larned State Hospital — 12 times. Some stays were three days and others were three weeks, and then he was referred to various outpatient programs. Before his death on Sept. 24, he was seeing a counselor about twice a month after being released from the Osawatomie hospital in August.

“We have no long-term care in Kansas where we can work with people,” Rutz said. “We give them some medication, and we kick them out. There’s nobody to work with them.”

State mental health advocates say that, unfortunately, this father’s story is common.

They receive at least 100 calls a year from people with similar frustrations.

Voter registration in Douglas County closes at the end of the day Tuesday.

Deputy of Elections Benjamin Lampe said that the Douglas County Clerk’s office will be open until 7 p.m.

Tuesday for in-person registration. Anyone wanting to register just needs a valid address. The registration form can be found through douglas-county.com and can be faxed to 832-5192 or emailed to elections@douglas-county.com.

Online registration through the Kansas Department of Revenue’s website, ksrevenue.org, will be open until just before midnight Tuesday.

Residents can also check whether they’re registered through the county clerk’s website on douglas-county. com. Lampe said that people who have changed their names or address since last voting will need to re-register.

According to information from County Clerk Jamie Shew, 77,656 people were registered in Douglas County as of Friday. Of those, 35.4 percent are registered as unaffiliated, 34.6 percent as Democrats and 29 percent as Republicans. Shew said that 2,597 people had signed up since August.

In November 2008, 83,444 Douglas County residents were registered and 53,798 turned out to vote, the highest-ever turnout for an election here.

Shew said that the numbers confirm the anecdotal experience in his office that registration is much lower this presidential election cycle, though many showed up in the last few days before the cutoff to register in October 2008.

It’s the time of year to watch out for deer

By Alex Garrison

Love is in the autumnal air for Kansas deer.

It’s mating season: perhaps a good time for our woodland friends, but a serious danger for drivers who may come across them on the road.

Last year, 200 car vs. deer accidents occurred in Douglas County, according to statistics from the Kansas Department of Transportation. Statewide, two people were killed and 297 injured in accidents involving deer. Douglas County sheriff’s deputies have

responded to 76 accidents so far this year.

Compiled from information provided by Kimberly Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation, and Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s office spokesman, here are some tips to help you avoid accidents and to respond appropriately if one happens. ! Be on the lookout, especially where you see deer-crossing signs, but know that deer can be pretty much anywhere. They particularly like wooded areas with water supplies.

! Deer are particularly active around dawn and dusk and usually travel in groups. So if you see one, expect to see others. ! Don’t swerve to avoid a deer.

Qualls said that the most serious deer-related accidents happen when drivers try to avoid a deer coming onto the road; drivers can easily lose control of the car. ! If you can’t avoid a collision, brake firmly, hold the steering wheel straight and stay in your lane. ! Report any accidents to 911 and, if possible, stay in your car until help arrives.

people is an evasive concept. For many it’s the community jail or the streets or the prison or the revolving door,” said Rick Cagan, executive director of the Kansas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI. He said one in 17 adults experiences a serious mental health disorder, like major depression, in any given year, and the services available to help treat them are limited.

Amy Campbell, lobbyist and coordinator for the Kansas Mental Health Coalition, said the current system is so underfunded that it is just trying to stabilize residents in crisis instead of providing all of the community supports that are needed for individuals to get better.

“This is one of the reasons why diagnosis of a serious mental illness is often kind of a death sentence in the sense that they won’t live a normal lifespan. These folks often die much younger than they ought to, and it’s terrible,” she said. “When we are spending all of our time trying to plug the holes of the immediate crisis, how are we able to work to improve our overall system of care?” !"!"!

Rutz, 57, an Army veteran and special education teacher at Abilene High School, talked about his son’s mental illness and the multitude of obstacles he faced in trying to get him help during a two-hour interview at his home in the small central Kansas town of Enterprise, where he serves on the city commission.

“Daniel loved to go bicycling; he loved the outdoors and liked to go fishing and hunting,” Rutz said. He left the living room and came back with a collage of photos that he had framed in memory of his son. They showed Daniel as a baby, playing as a boy and smiling as a teenager and adult. These were his good days.

Daniel was born in Manhattan and grew up there with an older and a younger sister. Rutz described him as an active boy who liked to get into mischief. He recalled touring a castle while on a family vacation in Austria; Daniel, about age 7 at the time, wanted to get in a 200-year-old cannon and then he got stuck.

“We thought we might have to cut him out of that cannon, but we finally got him unwedged and out of the cannon,” he said, with a smile.

As a teen, his dad said, Daniel started hanging out with the wrong crowd and drinking too much alcohol and using illegal drugs like marijuana. He was in and out of treatment for substance abuse. He attended Manhattan High School through his sophomore year and received a General Educational Development diploma. Then he worked at a number of places, including Fort Riley, Solomon Corp. and Great Plains in Abilene.

“He was a very good worker and could do just about anything, but he had a hard time keeping jobs because he had a hard time getting up out of bed to go to work,” Rutz said.

At age 21, Daniel had a son, Ryan, with girlfriend Cassie Pemberton, whom he met in grade school.

Pemberton, 26, of Shawnee, said they had an offand-on-again relationship because of his mental illness — something she admits she just couldn’t understand.

“When Ryan was born, I had a C-section, and he did everything for the first week. Daniel was always loving and caring and a good guy when he could be there,” she said.

Through his 20s, Daniel’s depression and anxi-

He no longer wanted to be around people and would sleep a lot. That was the main symptom, his family said, but sometimes he couldn’t sleep or eat. He depended on prescription medications to get him through each day, and his dad became an advocate for him — he had to.

Rutz called legislators and various treatment centers in seek of help for his son. With the help of U.S. Sen. Pat Robert’s office, he was able to get his son on disability and the Medicaid program. Daniel received $900 a month — not enough to cover his treatment, housing and food. He had to spend $2,800 every six months before he was eligible for free care for medicine or a doctor’s appointment.

When it came to finding an inpatient treatment facility, Rutz said they either cost more than $15,000 for a 30-day stay or they didn’t accept Medicaid.

“I’ve talked to many people, from CEOs all the way down to factory workers, who have gone through this type of situation — frustrated, had to mortgage their house in order to send their kids to an inpatient care facility and they only last 30 days,” he said.

During the interview, Rutz would refer to two huge folders that contained documents about Daniel’s treatments, all of which were running together like one big nightmare. Every once in a while, he would thumb through them for information.

He said Daniel often went into state hospitals because he was under- or over-medicated and as a result would be out of control. So, Rutz would either meet him in or take him to a hospital emergency room where he would be screened. If the screeners thought he was a threat to himself, they would send him to a state hospital. If not, they would give him medication and send him home. If he was sent to a state hospital, he would be stabilized with medications and then referred to a center for outpatient treatment. But Rutz said his son was never stable enough to be on his own.

He couldn’t be trusted to get that outpatient care, and he desperately needed psychological counseling and someone who could help control his medications.

“I am not saying that Daniel wasn’t at fault for this because it was part of his responsibility to cooperate, but we did not do a very good job of helping him,” Rutz said.

Rutz said half of the time his son would seek help on his own and other times he had to go involuntarily. Because Daniel was an adult, there was only so much Rutz could do, which was frustrating.

He did have control over Daniel’s finances and tried to monitor his medications so he didn’t take too much. Rutz said although his son signed a release of information, some doctors were better about sharing information than others.

“The problem is Dan-

iel, like others, thought he could control the medication on his own but he couldn’t,” Rutz said. “We butted heads a lot. We disagreed a lot, and he thought I was controlling him too much.”

Rutz found an apartment for his son in Manhattan, and that’s where he was living before his last hospitalization. Rutz said they called each other every day. If his son didn’t call, he would ask Daniel’s mother, Ulrike Rutz, or his sister to check on him.

“If Daniel didn’t live in my house, I never knew when that phone call was going to happen,” Rutz said. “He would call me and always tell me he loved me. He needed that reassurance. He was a very sensitive individual.” !"!"!

Cagan, of NAMI, said his nonprofit agency has long talked with state leaders about the lack of continuum care for people with mental illnesses. He believes most people with serious mental illness can live independently as long as they get the treatment and support that they need at the community level.

The problem is that Kansas has cut $38 million in funding for mental health services during the past four years, according to the report “State Mental Health Cuts: The Continuing Crisis” that was released last November

by NAMI. That funding was for Mental Health Reform grants, Medicaid patients, a Community Support Medication Program and psychiatric inpatient screenings, among other services. Kansas ranked ninth in the nation in cuts to funding for mental health services.

Cagan said he would like to see more community hospitals providing “crisis or stabilization” beds, where patients can have a chance to be safe and “chill out” before everyone determines whether the person is going home or to a state hospital. He said it’s a lowercost option than shipping them to a state hospital or sending them home too quickly where the situation may worsen to the point that law enforcement has to get involved.

Additionally, he said there needs to be more intensive treatment options. Such options could include programs where case managers check in with patients daily, offer counseling more than once a week and/or provide peer support similar to a sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous.

“The formula for recov-

ery is complex and has to be individualized,” he said. “Too often, the public and health centers and doctors and families think treatment equals a prescription, and that’s very shortsighted in our view.”

Another problem is state hospitals are underfunded at a time when they are needed most. Cagan said more people are seeking treatment because the stigma isn’t quite what it once was and because symptoms tend to flare up during tough economic times.

“The state hospitals have had huge issues with being over census, so patients are being released without being able to be supported at the community level. The pressure is there to push them out the back door because there are so many waiting at the front door. Now, the state will deny these claims, but I think the evidence is there,” Cagan said.

Campbell, of the Kansas Mental Health Coalition, said access to mental health services isn’t just a problem for the uninsured but for everybody because insurance dictates how much treatment someone can receive. Too often, it’s not enough.

Campbell said evidence shows that people with mental health issues are more likely to succeed and more likely to be weaned off medications that may have very serious side effects if they are engaged in cognitive behavioral therapy and peer support groups. She’s lobbied for such changes under the state’s new program for Medicaid, called KanCare, that’s set to begin Jan. 1.

“It would be advantageous for the Medicaid program because that individual would be more likely to achieve a better level of functioning and their need for expensive medications and state hospitals would be less,” she said.

So far, Campbell said she hasn’t received an answer about whether the program will include all three types of care.

Her fear is that the three companies hired by the state to run the Medicaid program will put more restrictions on accessing care, but she’s hopeful that won’t be the case.

Like Cagan, Campbell also believes more services need to be added at the community level. She said the state lacks the support that a patient needs once he or she gets out of state or private hospital.

“There are really no good options for supervised care or residential care within communities, and so we find ourselves trying to fit the people to what’s available instead of getting the treatment to the person,” she said.

his medications for 30 days. Rutz said Daniel was supposed to have seen a counselor at least twice a month, but he didn’t, and no one followed up to ensure it was done.

“He was having a hard time with depression and staying in his room more,” Rutz said. “I encouraged him to get out and do something — bike, see people, go to the gym with me.”

On Sept. 23, Daniel traveled to Shawnee with his girlfriend and his son.

They had a great time, Pemberton, his girlfriend, said. They went to a store to rent movies, and Daniel ended up playing around on a skateboard that was among some toys. That night, he read to his son and gave him a necklace.

The next day, Pemberton went to work and when she came home Daniel was still in bed. She didn’t think much of it because it was typical for Daniel.

A while later, she checked on him again and realized something was terribly wrong. She called 911 and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but it was too late. While the official cause of death has not been determined, the family believes it was an unintentional overdose of prescription medications.

Pemberton said Daniel talked about his illness with her the night before and thought he might need another hospital stay because it provided more structure.

“He knew that he needed help, but I don’t think he knew how to get it,” she said.

Pemberton’s sister made the agonizing call to Daniel’s parents, and she reached his stepmother, Renauda.

Rutz said: “It seemed like it took her an eternity to tell me that Daniel had died.” The tears began to fill his eyes. “We knew it could have been possible.

We dreaded that call.”

At first, he said he was filled with rage and he bruised his hand by punching a wall.

“I was upset because,” he said and paused, struggling to get the words out.

“You go back and you flash in your mind, ‘Did I spend enough time with him? Was I there enough times? Could I have done more?’”

Rutz said he and his wife jumped in the car and rushed to Shawnee because he wanted to hold his son one last time, but he was too late.

Through tears, he grabs a cross that’s on a necklace he’s wearing. “This is a cross I got him in June that says ‘Love dad,’” he said. “It was for his birthday.”

Pemberton said Daniel and his dad were close. “(Rutz) did everything for his son. There is nothing more that he could have done,” she said.

One year ago, Rutz started a new group in Abilene called the Family Support Team. The group meets quarterly and involves agencies like the American Red Cross, Kids in Crisis, the police department, the sheriff’s department and a food bank. The group had its first “Family Resource Day” on Sept. 29, and about 100 families attended.

“I started this because I knew how difficult it was for me to get answers.

It wasn’t easy for me to track down disability,” Rutz said. “I think information is very powerful.

The more you know, the more you can help yourself and your family.”

Foster, adoptive parents receive award Couple have opened home to 30 children in past 25 years

By Gordon D. Fielder Jr. The Salina Journal

SALINA — Newly married and childless, Gary and Janice Meyer were dining at Wendy’s when a family of five walked in.

“I can remember thinking, ‘why would anybody want three kids?’” Janice said. In her mind, two should be the limit. “Mom gets one; Dad gets one.

What’s the third one do?”

Fast forward to 2012. The 57-yearolds have seen three times that many children pass through their home in the past 25 years.

Unable to conceive — or so they thought — and having repeated setbacks in their attempt to adopt, the Meyers took a different tack.

“We decided to try foster care,” Janice said.

“It was a very severe case,” — Gary Meyer, of Salina Gary said. “He was enough of a challenge and had enough special needs that, if we would have had children, he couldn’t come into our home.”

He cited one example of what the child’s home life must have been like.

“When somebody would come to our house, you know what he showed them? It wasn’t that he had a bedroom; it wasn’t that he had toys,” Gary said.

The biggest marvel for the youngster was in the kitchen.

“We had a refrigerator, and there was food in it,” he said. “That’s not uncommon.”

TOPEKA — Kansas Democrats hope to avoid another election-year wipeout by making funding for public schools a major issue in legislative races, and their move highlights key differences between them and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Democrats are criticizing Brownback and his conservative allies over massive income tax cuts enacted this year, suggesting they’ll create big budget problems. They contend the tax cuts will force the state to dramatically reduce aid to public schools and that Brownback has shown he’s willing to slash education funding.

Brownback and House Appropriations Committee Marc Rhoades sought to undercut Brownback the criticism in separate news conferences by pointing to cuts in education funding under Brownback’s Democratic predecessor, Mark Parkinson.

The back-and-forth showed that Democrats see increased spending on public schools as a much higher priority than tax cuts, while Brownback and his allies place the biggest premium on reducing income taxes to stimulate the economy. Also, the debate showed that Democrats view money as the biggest concern in education, while Brownback and his allies see other policy issues as important.

“For a lot of years, we’ve been high-centered on finances,” said Rhoades, a conservative Newton Republican. “I’d like to add to the conversation.”

Democrats hope a debate over education funding inoculates them against almost-certain mailings and advertising by conservative Please see EDUCATION, page 4A

But in some cases, the parents are neither mentally or physically able to care for the children. Their rights are either severed by court order or they relinquish their rights themselves, he said.

Adoption honor When their first two foster children were ages 6 and 7 and adoptable, the Meyers applied.

And then the surprise.

“We found out Jan was pregnant when we were in the middle of adopting,” Gary said.

Friends asked if they would drop the adoption process now that they were expecting a child of their own.

“We never even considered it,” Gary said.

In all, the Meyers house has been home to 30 children, some with heart problems and autism. They’ve cared for blind children and

children diagnosed with failure to thrive. They’ve had two shaken babies at one time and children suffering from reactive attachment disorder.

For their involvement as foster and adoptive parents, the Meyers recently received the Angels in Adoption Award, bestowed by 1st District Congressman Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. One family in each congressional district can be honored with the award, which is sponsored by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. The Meyers were among recipients who last month attended an official ceremony in Washington, D.C.

‘It worked out right’ Janice said she often recalls that night at Wendy’s and seeing the parents with three children.

groups tying them to President Barack Obama and the federal health care law he championed. The same tactic resulted in big GOP gains in 2010 and fueled a purge of moderate Senate incumbents in this year’s Republican primaries.

Brownback’s news conference last week was an attempt to counter Democrats’ suggestions that he’s anti-education.

In 2011, he pushed legislators to reduce the state’s base aid to schools by 5.9 percent to help close a budget shortfall. But his staff handed out a data sheet and set up a big poster-board chart showing the overall decline was bigger under Parkinson in the wake of the Great Recession and that the state has committed more total dollars to schools since he took office.

The state will spend $3.2 billion under its current budget on aid to public schools — not quite as much as it did during the 2008-2009 school year but more than it has since then.

Base aid per student is still nearly 13 percent lower than in 2008-09 because the state had to compensate for a loss of federal stimulus funds and shifted resources into teacher pensions and capital improvements.

The Kansas Democratic Party declared in recent mailings in legislative races that, “nothing is more important than good public schools,” and Democratic leaders see restoring education funding to pre-2009 levels as a compelling need.

With the economy recovering, Hensley tax cuts should be considered when schools are properly funded, they argue.

“We would have restored the cuts to public schools first before you pass this massive income tax cut,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said during a news conference following up on Brownback’s event.

Brownback and his allies took another path this year.

The state will cut individual income tax rates for 2013 and exempt the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes. The final measure was more aggressive than Brownback proposed, but he signed it, even in the face of projections from legislative researchers that it would lead to collective budget shortfalls ap-

or good, but it worked out right.”

The Meyers admit they reversed the normal order of parenting.

“Most people have children right away,” Gary said.

“By their 40s, they’re free,” Janice said.

“We were just starting,” said Gary, who added that when the children did start coming, the couple were at a more mature and patient age.

“We’ll be free when we’re 80,” Janice said.

“Well, we got Leon. We’ll never be free,” Gary said.

Leon is their newest, youngest and, they say, last child they will adopt.

He’s 4 1/2 and severely handicapped, a victim of shaken baby syndrome.

He’s blind, deaf, confined to a wheel chair and requires a feeding tube.

According to CAT scans and MRIs, he has nothing on his left side of his brain and less than half on the right, Gary said.

“He’ll be our baby forever,” he said.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD proaching $2.5 billion over the next six years.

The governor has acknowledged the likelihood of budget problems over the next two years, but he and other conservatives believe the legislative researchers’ projections are too pessimistic.

Conservatives also dispute the idea that pushing aggressively for tax cuts means they’re ignoring schools’ needs. They argue that the growth resulting from tax cuts will boost state and local revenues.

“I can’t emphasize this enough: Growth is the key to education funding,” Brownback said during his news conference.

Brownback also has attempted to shift the debate from a focus on raw dollars to how effectively those dollars are spent by appointing a school efficiency task force dominated by certified public accountants. He contends the state needs to do a better job of making sure its aid finances classroom instruction.

Report: Sprint deal to go public today WASHINGTON (AP) — Japanese mobile phone company Softbank has agreed to buy 70 percent of Sprint Nextel Corp. for $20 billion, according to a news report.

The deal is expected to be announced today, according to CNBC’s website, which cited anonymous sources “close to the situation.”

The transaction could make Sprint, the thirdlargest U.S. mobile phone company, a tougher competitor against its bigger rivals, Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Sprint has 56 million subscribers, about half the amount of Verizon Wireless, the leading U.S. mobile phone company.

Softbank will buy $8 billion in shares from Sprint and another $12 billion from current Sprint shareholders, the CNBC report said. Softbank will offer $7.30 a share, CNBC said, about 27 percent above Friday’s closing price of $5.73.

John Taylor, a spokesman for Sprint, declined to comment beyond the company’s statement last week confirming that it was in talks with Softbank. Word of the talks pushed up Sprint’s stock more than 14 percent on Thursday.

Sprint has struggled in recent years to compete with Verizon and AT&T. The company has $21 billion in long-term debt and has launched a costly network restructuring and signed a long-term contract to buy $15.5 billion worth of iPhones from Apple over four years.

Tokyo-based Softbank, once the underdog in Japan’s telecom industry, has seen its fortunes improve since it started selling the iPhone in 2008. It was initially the only Japanese phone company to offer it. Rival KDDI Corp. started selling the iPhone late last year.

Former Sen. Arlen Specter dies at age 82

By Peter Jackson Associated Press

HARRISBURG, PA. — For most of his 30 years as Pennsylvania’s longest-serving U.S. senator and prominent moderate in Congress, Arlen Specter was a Republican, though often at odds with the GOP leadership.

He helped end the Supreme Court hopes of former federal appeals Judge Robert H. Bork, who was nominated

by President Ronald Reagan.

Decades later, he was one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus.

His breaks with his party were hardly a surprise: He had begun his political career as a Democrat and ended it as one, too.

In between, he was at the heart of several major American political events.

He rose to prominence in the 1960s as an assistant counsel to the Warren Commission, developing the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. He came to the Senate in the Reagan landslide of 1980 and was a key voice in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of both Bork and Clarence Thomas.

Specter died Sunday died at his home in Philadelphia from complications of nonHodgkin lymphoma, Specter in 2010 said his son Shanin.

He was 82. Over the years, Specter had fought two previous bouts with Hodgkin lymphoma, overcome a brain tumor and survived cardiac arrest following bypass surgery.

Intellectual and stubborn, Specter took the lead on a wide spectrum of issues and was no stranger to controversy.

In one of his last major political acts, Specter startled fellow senators in April 2009 when he announced he was joining the Democrats.

He said he was “increasingly at odds with the Republican philosophy,” though he said the Democrats could not count on him to be “an automatic 60th vote” that would give them a filibuster-proof majority.

He had also concluded that he was unlikely to win a sixth term as a Republican, and his frankness about why he returned to the Democratic Party was packaged in a powerful TV ad by his primary opponent, then-U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, who hammered away at the incumbent as a political opportunist.

“My change in party will enable me to be re-elected,” Specter says in TV news footage used in the ad.

Democrats picked Sestak, a retired Navy vice admiral, over Specter in the 2010 primary, ending his decades of service.

Sestak lost Specter’s seat to conservative Republican Rep. Pat Toomey in the general election by 2 percentage points.

Specter was diagnosed in 2005 with stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Announcing the diagnosis with his trademark doggedness, Specter said: “I have beaten a brain tumor, bypass heart surgery and many tough political opponents and I’m going to beat this, too.”

Elwood P. Smith/Philadelphia Daily News/AP Photo

U.S. SEN. HUGH SCOTT, R-PA., RIGHT, RAISES THE HAND OF ARLEN SPECTER, the winner of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s race, in a traditional victory salute in this Nov. 3, 1965, photo. Specter, a pugnacious and prominent former moderate in the U.S. Senate who developed the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and played starring roles in Supreme Court confirmation hearings, died Sunday from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was 82.

“Arlen Specter was always a fighter,” Obama said in a statement Sunday. “From his days stamping out corruption as a prosecutor in Philadelphia to his three de-

cades of service in the Senate, Arlen was fiercely independent — never putting party or ideology ahead of the people he was chosen to serve. He brought that same tough-

ness and determination to his personal struggles.”

Specter wrote of his illness in a 2008 book, “Never Give In: Battling Cancer in the Senate,” saying he wanted to let others facing similar crises “ought to know they are not alone.”

Cancer handed him “a stark look at mortality” and an “added sense of humility,” Specter told The Associated Press.

Born in Wichita on Feb. 12, 1930, Specter spent summers toiling in his father’s junkyard in Russell where he knew another future senator — Bob Dole. The junkyard thrived during World War II, allowing Specter’s father to send his four children to college.

Specter left Kansas for college in 1947 because Kansas University, where his best friends were headed, did not have Jewish fraternities. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1951 and Yale law school in 1956. He served in the Air Force from 1951 to 1953.

50 years ago, U.S. faced ‘real deal’

EDITORIALS

Finally fair Beginning today the K-State Official Online Store is expected to start charging state sales tax, a measure that’s long overdue.

I

t has taken awhile — more than a year since the issue rose to the surface and that’s considerably longer than it should have — but as of today an issue of unfairness to Kansas retailers apparently will have been resolved.

That’s when the “K-State Official Online Store” will begin to charge state sales tax on purchases by Kansas residents. About time!

It was back in August of 2011 that the Journal-World called attention to the fact that the K-State operation, unlike Kansas-based its counterpart at merchants who Kansas Universisell the same or ty, was not chargsimilar items thus ing state sales tax have a level play- on those purchasof purple gear. ing field now and es At last, Teamare not facing a FanShop, the Florida outfit that competitive adthe Kansas vantage from an runs State store, conInternet retailer firms that it and that in effect can the Kansas Decharge consider- partment of Revehave reached ably less because nue an agreement that of the sales tax the store will start collecting sales disparity. tax on purchases starting today.

When the issue initially was raised, KState tried to argue that because TeamFanShop didn’t have a physical presence in the state it wasn’t required to collect the tax.

That generally is the case, but the revenue department ruled otherwise. In fact, the department pointed out that the online store of a state university by its very nature had a presence in the state. K-State now says it has no objection to the sales tax being levied, but the school should be embarrassed that it took so long to address the situation and that it didn’t just step up instead of being forced by the revenue department and public pressure to do the right thing.

Kansas-based merchants who sell the same or similar items thus have a level playing field now and are not facing a competitive advantage from an Internet retailer that in effect can charge considerably less because of the sales tax disparity.

That problem is solved for one noteworthy situation. Congress should get busy and make sure that appropriate sales taxes are collected on all Internet transactions so that community businesses across the country are not put at the same disadvantages by online retailers — retailers who don’t contribute anything to the thousands of communities in which they operate virtually.

There was a time when nuclear war was a threat and not a theory, when Americans faced the very real prospect of a massive missile attack on their soil, when the two postwar superpowers were poised for war — a brisk, brutal war that would have endangered if not ended the lives of tens of millions of people. It was 50 years ago this week, and it is one of the very few half-century anniversaries that doesn’t grow faint or quaint with the telling. It was the real deal, and it was utterly terrifying.

No one who was not alive then can quite comprehend the danger and the fear that infused those 13 days in October, when life and civilization themselves seemed in the balance, and were. They are among the most studied 13 days in history — picked apart by scholars, subjected to revision and revisionism — for the missiles of October 1962, never fired, posed as much of a threat as the guns of August 1914.

More than a million people died in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, with 60,000 British soldiers perishing on the first day alone. Many times that many were in peril in the battle of the strategists 46 years later.

Today, 50 years on, the episode remains shrouded in unknowns, full of questions never answered.

To what extent were the missiles in Cuba a mere sideshow to the struggle in Berlin? Did Nikita Khrushchev dispatch the missiles as a counterpoint to American missiles in Turkey? What internal Kremlin politics were at work? Did Khrushchev move on Cuba because he sensed President John F. Kennedy’s apparent weakness at the Vienna Summit? Why didn’t Kennedy gain a longterm political benefit from his handling of the crisis, and why was he embarrassed in the so-called Skybolt Crisis,

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

Today, 50 years on, the episode remains shrouded in unknowns, full of questions never answered.” today remembered by almost no one, after having outmaneuvered Khrushchev in the crisis that mattered?

No definitive answers to these questions have emerged, even though the Cuban Missile Crisis is the subject of an untold number of academic conclaves and has become a veritable cottage industry at Harvard.

The appearance of missiles in Cuba was a startling development, disrupting the midterm congressional campaigns of 1962, paralyzing the entire Kennedy administration and positing the direct Soviet-American confrontation that Cold War diplomats had sought to avoid in Europe and Asia. The two nations truly were, as Secretary of State Dean Rusk put it in an unforgettable phrase, “eyeball to eyeball,” and it wasn’t clear until the end that the other guy would blink.

The discovery of those missiles prompted an extraordinary nationally televised presidential address, in which Kennedy threatened “a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union” for any missile launched from Cuba, announced a “strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba” and demanded the removal of the missiles.

Khrushchev’s answer: “Imagine, Mr. President, what if we were to present to you such an ultimatum as you have presented to us by your actions. How would you react to it? I think you would be outraged at such a move on our part. And this we would understand.”

Two days later Khrushchev wrote Kennedy: “You are worried over Cuba. You say that it worries you because it lies at a distance of 90 miles across the sea from the shores of the United States.

However, Turkey lies next to us. Our sentinels are pacing up and down and watching each other. Do you believe that you have the right to demand security for your country and the removal of such weapons that you qualify as offensive, while not recognizing this right for us?”

But on the U.S. side of the world, claims of moral or strategic equivalence held no water.

The introduction of missiles in Cuba was seen as a violation of the Monroe Doctrine and was by any measure an expression of aggressive intent or perhaps a potential platform for nuclear blackmail. No administration could tolerate it, and the Kennedy administration didn’t.

The crisis produced a kaleidoscope of unforgettable images: The primitive U-2 surveillance pictures. The huddling of advisers in the ExComm, the inner circle that managed the crisis. U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson describing missile photos to a hushed United Nations audience. The Soviet ships turning back in the Caribbean.

In the end, the missiles in Turkey also were removed, but that was part of a secret agreement, and it wasn’t for six months that the last Jupiter left Turkey. A month and a half later, Kennedy delivered his American University address outlining his vision for world peace:

“Among the many traits the peoples of our two countries have in common, none is stronger than our mutual abhorrence of war,” the president said of the United States and the Soviet Union. “Almost unique among the major world powers, we have never been at war with each other.”

The speech won praise from Khrushchev himself, and 10 days later the hotline was established between Moscow and Washington.

“During the crisis, with the nation directly threatened, Americans had rallied around the flag,” David G. Coleman, a University of Virginia historian who heads the Presidential Recordings Program in Charlottesville, writes in “The Fourteenth Day,” a new book on the crisis and its aftermath. “Kennedy himself carefully avoided any talk of ‘winning’ the crisis — and forbade his staff from talking in such terms — but in the eyes of much of the American public, and indeed the world, that was precisely what he had done.”

The world, having changed utterly, was about to change some more.

Just more than a year after the crisis, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. On Oct 14, 1964, precisely two years after the U-2 flight took the first pictures of the missiles in Cuba, Khrushchev was ousted from power.

The new world order was far from orderly, led by two men — Lyndon B. Johnson and Leonid Brezhnev — who could not have been more different from each other or from their predecessors.

Troubles in Vietnam and a crisis in Czechoslovakia would soon follow, leaving tragedy in their wake — but it is left to us, 50 years after the fact, to remember the missiles of October, and the tragedy that was averted.

Mocking religion To the editor: Apparently this week is Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau’s week to deride and mock Mitt Romney’s religion.

Will he have the courage to mock Islam sometime soon? Surely he could find some good reasons, e.g., murdering innocents, oppressing women, banning all religions except radical Islam, etc.

Oh, that’s right. Mormons have not threatened to decapitate people who insult their religion like radical Islamists have. So, I imagine Trudeau will confine his insults to Mormons and others who don’t endanger him.

And I thought mocking a candidate’s religion was uncivil. It certainly was during Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign whenever the Rev. Mr. Wright of “God damn America” fame was mentioned.

Oh well. Trudeau likes to change the rules, I guess.

David Upchurch, Lawrence

Pension fairness To the editor: The states in the USA are complaining bitterly about the pension amounts that retirees are and will be drawing upon retirement and are making plans to lower the amount the state must contribute. The recession has hurt the

state, but also in good times the Kansas Legislature did not pay their share.

I imagine that this will be an ongoing complaint and more states will consider reducing the state employees and teachers retirements. I think we are starting on the wrong end of the chain.

I think the first order of this should be our presidents. Under the present formula, as young as George W. Bush is and also Barack Obama will be at retirement from the presidency in the next 20 to 30 years could draw as much or more than a million dollars annually in retirement. This formula was set up to give Harry Truman on his retirement a living income.

Our Congress who sets their own salary and retirement formula needs to have major adjustments to both their salary and retirement, also their time away from D.C. After all, this is taxpayer money.

Howard Lynch, Lawrence

Jenkins was speaking, this low level of discourse has no place in a civil society.

However, what I find more disconcerting is the writer’s decision to vote for Jenkins because of the antics of a few Schlingensiepen supporters. At what point, I ask the writer, did you listen to the positions of the candidates?

Shouldn’t we be considering the candidates’ beliefs and how they align with our own to be the guiding principle of our vote?

I can only conclude that it is the loudest entities that have driven a wedge between thoughtful voters and the issues by obscuring messages of facts, truth and reality with noise. I am especially disheartened to see it happening in our own fair town.

Lisa Stockton, Lawrence

KANSAS FOOTBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Lubbock Smith welcome upgrade Every regime change in college football is accompanied by a promise from the new head coach that he and his staff will seek to upgrade the speed of the defense.

It’s a noble, almost always necessary goal. Slow defenses get exposed in a hurry and find themselves on the wrong end of blowouts.

But sometimes a football player who doesn’t approach gold-medal speed brings too much in the way of toughness and savvy to keep on the sidelines.

Mark Mangino quickly figured that out about safety Lubbock Smith.

Smith started six games as a red-shirt freshman in 2009, Mangino’s Smith final season, and was named to the Sporting News Freshman All-Big 12 team.

Then Mangino got forced out two years after going 12-1 and winning the Orange Bowl.

Turner Gill, who lasted for two years of a five-year, $10 million contract and compiled a 5-19 record, upon taking the job and promising to build a winning “dynasty” talked about the need to upgrade the defense’s speed.

In Gill’s first season, Smith started the first nine games and missed the final three with injury. Gill demoted him to third safety during his junior season and preferred Keeston Terry, upgrading the speed of the defense and downgrading its toughness.

Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo put Smith right back in the starting lineup. Terry?

He’s playing safety for Division II powerhouse Pittsburg State because he wanted no part of Camp Charlie.

“I went to his first meeting with the team and he was dog-cussing the players and was very arrogant,” Terry told the Independence Examiner of Weis in February. “I don’t want to be a part of that.”

Terry could be part of a national-championship team. The Gorillas are ranked No. 1 in Division II. Smith, who comes from Dallas football powerhouse Carter High, the same school NFL receiver Michael Crabtree attended, prefers to play Big 12 football.

In Saturday’s 20-14 loss to Oklahoma State, Smith showed why he belongs in the Big 12. He intercepted a pass and returned it 18 yards.

Smith rocked quarterback J.W. Walsh as he was throwing a pass on third-and-five at the KU 44, and the hit killed any chance for accuracy. The play enabled Kansas to have the ball with 6:49 left trailing by six points.

“It was a boost, definitely a big play, but I just wish we could have made more things happen on defense,” Smith said.

It was a good week for a defense that held Oklahoma State, the team leading the nation in offense going into the game, to 20 points.

“It definitely gives us encouragement as far as stepping in the direction of where we need to go, but we need to strive to keep getting better day in and day out,” Smith said.

WHO WILL START AT QUARTERBACK FOR KANSAS UNIVERSITY on Saturday at Oklahoma, Michael Cummings, left, or Dayne Crist? Only coach Charlie Weis knows, and he’s not saying.

Questions, no answers, at QB

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The question will be asked at least a thousand times this week, and Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis has no plans to share the answer.

In fact, the first time anyone will learn whether senior Dayne Crist or red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings will be the starting quarterback for this weekend’s game at Oklahoma likely will come when the KU offense trots onto the field for its first drive at 6 p.m.

Saturday in Norman, Okla.

There is, however, enough evidence to suggest that Weis will give Cummings a serious look as the starter during practice this week. Don’t be surprised for a second if Crist and Cummings are listed atop the team’s depth chart together when the updated version is released Tuesday.

“I’m not ignorant now,” Weis said Sunday night. “I

Ex-Jayhawk McDonald recommits to KU JayhawkSlant.com reported Sunday night that former Kansas University defensive back Dexter McDonald, who signed with KU in 2010 and played the first five games of the 2011 season as a red-shirt freshman, had recommitted to Kansas after visiting campus this weekend with his parents.

McDonald left the team saw the juice the team had in the fourth quarter. I can’t be oblivious to that, and I have to factor that in as we’re getting ready to go forward.”

Although Cummings’ final numbers were merely average, the energy and excitement he injected into the struggling KU offense brought a different dimension to the field and nearly propelled the Jayhawks to an improbable come-from-behind victory.

following the 2011 season and enrolled at Butler County Community College, where he has played in five of the Grizzlies’ seven games. A 6-foot-2, 203-pound cornerback from Rockhurst High, McDonald originally committed to Illinois but wound up at Kansas. The report indicated McDonald planned to re-enroll at KU in January.

In a little more than a quarter, Cummings completed five of 10 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. While he wasn’t flawless, he took a team that had gained just 236 yards through three quarters and led it to a grand total of 398 by game’s end, 28 more than Oklahoma State. Beyond that, he impressed his head coach in a couple of key areas.

“There was one timeout when I called him over and

said, ‘Now remember on the last play that we ran, this is always a possibility,’” Weis recalled. “And he goes, ‘Yeah, I saw that, but this is what happened.’ That was a very upperlevel thought. It showed me he wasn’t just playing the game, he was thinking about the game.”

Although Cummings is a laid-back, down-to-earth dude, Weis said he saw a little extra fire in his young QB during Sunday’s practice.

“Any time you see yourself go from the role of a definite backup to the maybe starter, you perk up in a hurry,” Weis said.

Of course, Weis said he saw that from a lot of players Sunday.

“They obviously are disappointed in the loss,” he said.

“But it’s probably as upbeat as they’ve been since the opening game. They know, with us, the jury’s always still out because people want to see whether or not this is a onetime deal.”

Hoops target Embiid elevates KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Joel Embiid, one of three uncommitted high school senior basketball prospects who attended Friday’s Late Night in the Phog, on Sunday listed Kansas University as his current leader in recruiting.

Embiid, an unranked 7-foot, 220-pound senior center from Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., told Rivals. com: “I had a great visit. I’m going to visit Virginia, Florida and one other school to compare those schools to my visit to Kansas.”

The Cameroon native in

the past has also mentioned Louisville, UCLA, Marquette, Texas, DePaul and Wake Forest.

“Had a great time this weekend,” Embiid wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Also on hand for Late Night: No. 5-ranked Aaron Gordon, 6-8 from Archbish-

op Mitty High in San Jose, Calif., and No. 23 Wayne Selden, 6-5 from Tilton (N.H.) School.

“KU was tight! Rock chalk is kinda on point haha,” Gordon wrote on Twitter on Sunday. Gordon is considering Please see HOOPS, page 3B

Bounces favor Bucs; Chiefs thumped TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — The football took a lot of funny bounces Sunday, and most of them went against Kansas City in a 38-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that dropped the Chiefs to 1-5.

The toughest bounce of all went off Kansas City’s Dexter McCluster and into the hands of the Bucs’ Ronde Barber, who ran the interception back 78 yards for a game-breaking touchdown.

“It happens all the time in the NFL,” said Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel. “Guys tip it rather than knock it down.

They jump over us and catch it. We tip it and they catch it. That happens sometimes and it’s just unfortunate that it happened to us.”

Josh Freeman threw for a

season-high 328 yards and three TDs for the Bucs (23), who intercepted Brady Quinn twice in the Kansas City quarterback’s first start in nearly three years.

Barber, making the transition to safety after 15 seasons as one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks, scored his 14th regular-season touchdown to make it 21-3 early in the third quarter.

It was Barber’s eighth career interception return for a TD. The Chiefs challenged the play, contending that the pass should have been ruled incomplete.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cats, Irish continue climb in poll

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Football Writer

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get comfortable, Florida. Same goes for you, Kansas State. Notre Dame, too.

For the second straight week, multiple top-five teams in the Associated Press football poll lost, and the rankings got a shake-up behind No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon.

South Carolina and West Virginia were the big losers this week, and the Gators, Wildcats and Fighting Irish were the beneficiaries.

Florida moved up a spot to No. 3 on Sunday after beating Vanderbilt 31-17. No. 4 Kansas State (which defeated Iowa State 27-21) and No. 5 Notre Dame (which beat Stanford 20-13 in overtime) each moved up two spots. All three of them have big challenges directly ahead.

Alabama continued to roll along, routing Missouri 42-10, and Oregon had an even easier week. The Ducks were off. The Crimson Tide is a unanimous No. 1 for the third straight week.

Both are on the road this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alabama at Tennessee and Oregon at Arizona State on Thursday night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there have been more than enough reminders recently that there are no sure things away from home.

South Carolina was handed its first loss at LSU, a 23-21 setback that dropped the Gamecocks to No. 9.

The Gamecocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next stop is Gainesville, Fla. The Gators are unbeaten and have their best ranking since the end of the 2009 season, Tim Tebowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last playing at the Swamp.

South Carolina-Florida could very well determine who wins the SEC East.

Kansas State takes its best ranking since 2000 to Morgantown, W.Va., where the Mountaineers will be looking to bounce back from a startling 4914 loss at Texas Tech. Kansas State is the only unbeaten team left in the Big 12, and Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein seems to have taken the Heisman Trophy front-runner status from West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geno Smith.

As for Notre Dame, the Irish are at home to face BYU (43), before a road trip to No. 10 Oklahoma on Oct. 27.

A third straight week of shuffling at the top of the media poll would be no surprise.

Moving up For all of LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive issues during the first half of the season, the Tigers are back where they need to be, primed to pounce in the national title race.

The Tigers moved up three spots to No. 6 in the AP rankings Sunday after beating South Carolina.

LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing game still lacks pop. Zach Mettenberger was 12 for 25 for 148 yards against the

Gamecocks, and at some point heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to do more. Maybe when LSU visits surprising No. 20 Texas A&M, with fast-rising Heisman contender Johnny Manziel guiding the top-ranked offense in the SEC.

Alabama and Florida are at the top of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first BCS standings, making it yet another all-SEC top two, with Oregon and Kansas State close behind the Gators.

The Crimson Tide in first was no surprise. Alabama is an overwhelming No. 1 in both polls used in the BCS formula. Florida in second was less anticipated. The Gators are No. 3 in the polls, but rated best by the computer rankings That gave them a slight edge over Oregon and Kansas State when the numbers were crunched. Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS average is .9092.

Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is .8993 and Kansas Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is .8963.

Notre Dame is fifth and not too far back at .8774.

Teams with one loss, such as sixth-place LSU, seventh-place South Carolina, ninth-place Oklahoma and 10th-place USC are still very much in the race as long as they keep winning.

Oregon State is in eighth, the lowest rated of the unbeaten teams.

Moving down Lubbock, Texas, is 1,465 miles from Morgantown, W.Va., the longest trip West Virginia signed up for when it joined the Big 12.

It must have felt twice that long heading back home after Texas Tech ripped the Mountaineers.

The loss sent West Virginia tumbling from No. 5 to No. 17 as the Mountaineers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t again overcome a porous defense that gave up 676 to the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech moved back into the rankings at No. 18.

In and out The last time Ohio University was ranked, a man had not yet walked on the moon.

The unbeaten Bobcats are back this week, coming in at No. 25. Ohio finished the 1968 season ranked No. 20, back in the days when the ranking only went to 20.

Ohio moved in as another high-scoring potential BCS buster fell out. Louisiana Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 59-57 loss at Shreveport dropped the Bulldogs out of the rankings.

Texas also fell out after a 6321 loss to Oklahoma.

ROSWELL, N.M. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a giant leap from more than 24 miles up, a daredevil skydiver shattered the sound barrier Sunday while making the highest jump ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a tumbling, death-defying plunge from a balloon to a safe landing in the New Mexico desert.

Felix Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first person to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft after hopping out of a capsule that had reached an altitude of 128,100 feet above the Earth.

Landing on his feet in the desert, the man known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fearless Felixâ&#x20AC;? lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant friends and spectators who closely followed his descent in a live television feed at the command center â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data,â&#x20AC;? he said after the jump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing you want is to come back alive.â&#x20AC;?

A worldwide audience watched live on the Internet via cameras mounted on his capsule as Baumgartner, wearing a pressurized suit, stood in the doorway of his pod, gave a thumbs-up and leapt into the stratosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,â&#x20AC;? an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control after the jump.

Baumgartnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s descent lasted just over nine minutes, about half of it in a free fall of 119,846 feet, according to Brian Utley, a jump observer from the FAI, an international group that works to determine and maintain the integrity of aviation records.

He said the speed calculations were preliminary figures.

Baumgartner has said he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.

Before that, though, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go back to LA to chill out for a few days ... will take it easy as hell, trust me.â&#x20AC;?

City golfers fired up for state tournament

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Even before the season started, back in the summer when they played worry-free rounds, Lawrence High’s girls golfers talked about returning to the Class 6A state tournament this fall with the help and guidance of new coach Kristen Samp.

Much to the Lions’ surprise and disappointment, it didn’t work out that way for them this past Monday at a regional in Overland Park. The Lions finished fourth at the tournament,

and only senior Anna Wright and junior Abigail Schmidtberger qualified as individuals.

“Everybody was planning on making it,” Wright said. “Missing it by two strokes (behind the thirdplace team, Olathe South), that was just kind of heartbreaking.”

Schmidtberger began self-critiquing upon seeing that Olathe Northwest, Blue Valley West and O-South — and not LHS — would be sending all of their golfers to state, where the Lions finished ninth in 2011.

“I was just going back through my game, thinking about where I could’ve dropped a stroke,” Schmidtberger said. “I was just really upset that we didn’t get to go as a team.”

Meanwhile, Free State’s Emily Bermel, Karen Campbell and Michaela Miller qualified for state at their regional in Topeka. Campbell said it was a day of excitement and relief for the three sophomores.

“I don’t think any of us played the round we really wanted to play — I mean

Emily did, she always does — and Michaela and I got a little bit lucky, I feel like,” she said.

That advantageous feeling came from the fact FSHS wasn’t at the same regional as LHS. Some schools shifting classifications this fall led to the reshuffling of some of the regional fields. Upon hearing about Lawrence’s qualifying two golfers, Campbell said the Firebirds couldn’t believe it.

“LHS’s competition was a little bit more intense,” she said.

The top five individ-

ual qualifiers at the Free State’s regional had scores ranging from 86 to 116, while at Lawrence’s regional qualifying scores were from 72 to 92. Campbell felt particularly bad for Lawrence senior Quillen Eichhorn, a close friend who introduced her to golf three years ago.

Now that the shock and disappointment has worn off some for the city’s five state-qualifiers, they are ready today to take on the Rolling Hills Country Club course, in Wichita. Wright and Schmidtberger played a practice round Thurs-

day, and the Firebirds did the same Sunday.

Wright hopes the Lions’ state experience will help them.

“I don’t think I’ll be as nervous this year,” she said, “since I’ve been there and done that before.”

Campbell said sometimes she prefers playing at an unfamiliar venue.

“Then I don’t have the history with the course,” she said. “If I hit a bad shot, I won’t be like, ‘Yesterday I hit a great shot that would’ve played better.’”

The 6A state tournament begins at 8:30 a.m.

KU women entertain committed twins J-W Staff Reports

Of Dylan, ESPN.com wrote: “Fantastic young athlete with a ton of upside. Her length and quickness make her a potentially elite defender. She is good in transition but at this point her defense leads the way. Dylan has emerged as a scoring guard who can facilitate some point as well.

She looks to score and attack on every possession and is converting more shots from the mid-range.”

Of Dakota, ESPN.com wrote: “This kid has a fiery flare in her eyes and a hunger for the game that is unmistakable. She competes, and she competes hard.”

Dear Annie: I have been married for 36 years. Eight months ago, I learned that my husband had been calling other women, one in particular, for the past two years. The calls included text messages and pictures.

The woman he was mostly in touch with is someone I know. She is married. My husband would call her multiple times, and each call would last nearly an hour. In addition, they would text each other 40 times during the day.

My husband refuses to explain why he started calling her and will not tell me what they talked about. This has led to some terrible fights. I don’t know what to do.

I love my husband very much and was devastated to learn about these calls.

He says they did not have a sexual affair, and I want to believe him. I

Annie’s Mailbox

have gone to counseling.

He went once, but when the counselor asked him to talk about the phone calls, he became angry and stomped out. I suggested going to a different counselor, but he says he doesn’t need to.

I have forgiven him, but I am haunted by images of them together. I would like him to respect our marriage enough to tell me the truth, but I have no idea how to get him to open up. Am I being too demanding? — Lost in the Country

Shopping sickness explored Does television shape behavior, or reflect it? And if it reflects it, is it an accurate representation or something from the circus funhouse? If television were a realistic depiction of society, I’d be pretty worried — if only about the threat of zombies.

Television has a long, weird history when it comes to materialism and consumer habits.

It’s an advertising medium, after all. With the exception of Ralph and Alice Kramden’s spartan apartment on “The Honeymooners,” or the Conners’ ramshackle home on “Roseanne,” few fictional characters have ever lived within their apparent means.

Beyond scripted series, docudramas extolling the picking and pawning of items create a completely phony sense that fortunes can be made from mere scavenging. Cable also explores and exploits the dark side of materialism, most disturbingly on “Hoarders” (8 p.m., A&E).

Now comes “My Shopping Addiction” (10 p.m., Oxygen), a series that follows young people and their unrealistic relationship with money and unhealthy obsession with possessions. In the opening segment we meet Heather. She should be comfortable, having received a large inheritance from her grandparents.

But she’s already blown through hundreds of thousands of dollars on shopping binges.

Not all compulsive shoppers are as “lucky” as Heather. Roshanda subsidizes her bad habit by borrowing from friends and family. And we’re not talking about luxury. Roshanda’s places of indulgence are 99 Cent Only Stores. ‘‘Shopping” also features advice from two psychologists who help both women admit to their compulsions and explore the reasons behind their self-destructive behavior.

Tonight’s other highlights

Game 2 of the National League Championship Series (6:30 p.m., Fox).

Paula Abdul appears as a guest judge on “Dancing With the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC).

Canton, Texas, is the setting for “Market Warriors” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

“Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel) travels to Rio.

The new series “The Brokaw Files” (9 p.m., Military) offers hour-long reflections by former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw on a single subject. Tonight, it’s the DDay invasion of Normandy.

BIRTHDAYS

Former auto executive Lee Iacocca is 88. Actress Linda Lavin is 75. Actress-director Penny Marshall is 69. Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Palmer is 67. Singer-musician Richard Carpenter is 66. Singer Tito Jackson is 59. Actor Jere Burns is 58. Actress Tanya Roberts is 57. Britain’s Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, is 53.

Chef Emeril Lagasse is 53. Tennis player Elena Dementieva is 31.

Dear Lost: You are not wrong. Your husband doesn’t want to take responsibility for his affair (physical or emotional) and has made you believe that you are not entitled to the truth. But he has an obligation to be completely transparent about his motives and behavior.

Since he refuses counseling, please continue on your own and work through this in whatever way is best for you.

Dear Annie: I am really concerned about my husband. He became unemployed at the beginning of this year when we were expecting our second child.

Right now, he is selling cars to get by, but the hours are brutal, and the pay is inconsistent.

He went back to school to study computers and network security and applied for a job with a computer company.

This is an exciting opportunity for him.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Oct. 15, 2012 This year your creativity and magnetism intertwine. This could open you up to more possibilities.

If you are single, a relationship is yours to have, if you want it. If you are attached, the two of you need more personal time as a couple.

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) Sometimes others see your actions and decisions as bold.

Someone who is not accustomed to your style could become angry.

Tonight: With a favorite person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A friend or loved one knows your Achilles’ heel and will use that weakness periodically. You might be stunned by this person’s words. Tonight: Join a friend or two.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your creativity emerges in the presence of others’ energized, and sometimes bold, actions. You understand the forces at work here.

Tonight: Time for a brisk walk.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have a tendency to be moody. You acknowledge that fact, but when you look around, you might decide that you currently are on more solid ground than many of your comrades. Tonight: A child or loved one pulls you into a fun scene.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the morning to the max in order to deal with others accordingly. In the afternoon, an investment or domestic issue emerges. Tonight: Home is your palace.

The company asked to schedule an interview.

My husband told them he is busy this time of year, but would be available as soon as he has next month’s schedule and can check the dates.

He left his cellphone number for them to contact him, and now we are just waiting. It has only been a few days, but I am so stressed about this. By saying he was busy, did he take himself out of the running for an interview? — Mrs. Concerned Dear Concerned: No. Your husband should call the company as soon as he knows his schedule.

The fact that he is busy with another job could actually work in his favor.

There is, of course, a possibility that the company will hire someone else in the meantime, but that could have happened regardless. Concentrate your thoughts on a positive outcome. Good luck. jacquelinebigar.com

ers note your compassion and also your ability to act on that quality.

Tonight: Accept an invitation, hang out and visit with friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could become rather frustrated by a situation that keeps emerging. Detach by doing something totally unrelated to your present thoughts, and a solution will emerge. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be slow to start, like the turtle, with the hare leading in front. Don’t worry — your endurance and steadiness will pay off.

Tonight: Out on the town.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Check out what’s happening behind the scenes. You have so much energy, and it is close to impossible to hold you back. Tonight: Let the good times happen.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In an attempt to be nonreactive, you might have swallowed a lot of anger. If you find that you are doing or saying something unusual or subtly hostile, look within yourself. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are in the limelight, and you’ll make an impression on a boss or supervisor. The trail you blaze easily could lead to a new beginning, if you so choose. Tonight: Could go into the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Use timing to facilitate your desires. Individual conversations will flourish in the morning and midday. Tonight: Let your mind wander. Daydream away.

Jeter-less Yanks fall NEW YORK (AP) — The Detroit Tigers got a big boost from Anibal Sanchez’s arm. They got a helping hand from an umpire, too.

The reward: a commanding 2-0 lead in the AL championship series, and a trip home with their ace ready to start.

Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus injured Derek Jeter, Detroit scored twice after an admitted missed call by an ump and won without any extra-inning drama, beating New York 3-0 Sunday.

“He was terrific,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “This is a tough place to pitch with a tough lineup and a short porch.

And a whole bunch of left-handed hitters, it is not easy. That was quite a feat.”

New York starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning to

Chris Carpenter pitches for the Cardinals against Ryan Vogelsong.

This is the first time the previous two World Series winners are facing off in the postseason since the 1958 World Series between the Braves and Yankees.

Cards take opener, 6-4 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — This time, Carlos Beltran, David Freese and the St. Louis Cardinals took a sixrun lead — and held onto it, barely.

Beltran and Freese hit two-run homers and these wild, wild-card Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants, 6-4, on Sunday night in Game 1 of the NL championship series.

The defending World Series champions took an early 6-0 cushion and made it stand up. Only two nights earlier, the Cardinals came back from a 6-0 deficit, using a four-run rally in the ninth inning at Washington in the deciding Game 5 of the division series.

The St. Louis bullpen delivered with 51⁄3 scoreless innings after starter Lance Lynn was chased. Edward Mujica, the fifth St. Louis

“It was a tremendous play on his part,” said Quinn, who completed 22 of 38 passes for 180 yards filling in for the injured Matt Cassell (concussion). “I couldn’t tell on the replay. From my point of view it looked like it hit the ground, but (Barber) made a great play.”

Children’s book ‘The Pillow Fairy’ helps parents solve problem Story gives kids incentive to sleep in their own beds

BY MARGIE CARR

M

ove over Tooth Fairy, there’s a new kid in town!

Local resident, educator and now published author Marcia Riley is sharing one of her parenting secrets in her new book, “The Pillow Fairy” (self published at CreateSpace, 2012), the story of how she got her two sons to go to sleep in their very own beds.

“Justin (then 2) was having a meltdown, and I just pulled him into my lap and I thought that instead of getting upset, we’d do something fun,” says Riley.

Little did she know that moment would give birth to a family tradition and become the inspiration for her book.

“The Pillow Fairy was an epiphany,” she says. “It was just something that came to me in a creative moment.”

Riley told her son that if he slept in his own bed, the Pillow Fairy would come and leave a surprise under his pillow — stickers, cars, plastic dinosaurs, “anything he might want,” she says.

The Pillow Fairy worked like a charm — so well, in fact, that Riley thought other families could benefit from her creation.

She wrote up the story and sent it to a publisher in New York.

“That was about 20 years ago, and the children’s publishers were more interested in animal stories back then,” she says.

Years went by, and a lot changed in the Riley household as well as in the publishing industry. Riley continued teaching at her rural elementary school in the Perry-Lecompton School District, Justin and Matt grew to adulthood

and self-publishing became much more commonplace, which was the route to publication that Riley ultimately decided to pursue.

But in order to have a successful children’s book, Riley knew she would need more than a sweet story, she would need captivating artwork.

“You’ve done all this hard work,” she says, “it’s like a child and you want it to be right.”

She sent her manuscript to one illustrator, who returned with images that were not at all what she envisioned — “They were really scary!” she says. More importantly, they did not resemble her two children: Justin, now 28, and Matt, who is 25.

Riley then discovered that one of her former students had a daughter who was a gifted illustrator. And even though she had never had a high school or college course in art, 21-year-old Joni Patterson

was just who Riley needed to help turn her turn her decades-long dream into reality.

“I was a little intimidated because I wanted to make sure I got what she wanted,” says Patterson, “but she (Riley) convinced me that I was up to it.”

Turns out, Riley was right, and she was delighted with the images Patterson returned to her.

“The pictures are just magical!” Riley says.

Both Riley and Patterson could not be more pleased with the positive feedback “The Pillow Fairy” is receiving.

“I think it’s a story everyone can relate to,” says Riley, who says that most of her best memories involve her family.

Riley adds that she didn’t write the book to be an author, “I wrote it to share a memory and maybe help some others who were struggling through this trying issue.”

Blueberry energy cake

BLUEBERRY ENERGY CAKE is a scratch cake with a touch of honey.

This brings us to our lesson for the day. If you don’t know a massage therapist (hi, Ginny!), you can still manage to work out your emotional kinks with baking. Kneading dough is better than working out with weights; you get a nice bit of exercise and there’s a pan of homemade yumminess waiting for you when all is said and done.

We’re going to make a cake from scratch this time, stuffed with goodfor-you ingredients and still just as simple as can be. With blueberries for antioxidants, honey for energy and the comfort factor of homemade cake, this recipe is definitely a winner.

Crank up your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch square pan.

Whenever I make this cake, I use my two-cup glass measuring cup and a medium bowl. It’s not quite an allin-one process, but it definitely cuts down on the dishes. However you go about it, measure 2 cups of whole wheat flour into your bowl. Add 3/4 cup sugar and a generous tablespoon of baking powder.

A confession: I rarely mess with measuring spoons in a lot of recipes.

With a little practice, you can get pretty good at “eyeballing,” and a simple coffee cake won’t suffer from a tiny

variance in ingredients. Use a fork to measure out your tablespoon, if you’re so inclined.

Stir the dry ingredients together, and then cut in 4 tablespoons of butter. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it’s close to the consistency of cornmeal. Yes, with your hands. It’s a lot easier than using two knives or a pastry blender, and it helps you work out a few of those frustrations. Just squeeze and stir the butter around in the flour until the lumps are gone.

Zap 1/2 cup milk along with 1/4 cup honey in the microwave; one minute is plenty. This is where the glass measuring cup comes in handy.

Whisk in one large egg, and then stir this mixture into your flour mix until just combined. Add 3 ounces of frozen blueberries and stir to distribute.

Spread the batter in your prepared pan and sprinkle the top with a little sugar. Bake it for 30 minutes and enjoy the smells that fill your kitchen.

Unlike most baked desserts, you can eat this one almost straight out of the oven. Serve it as is or with fresh whipped cream. Don’t forget to include a good book and your favorite hot beverage; this is therapy, after all.

Enjoy!

NEW DAY CARE FILLS NICHE

BY LIZ WESLANDER

A

local mother has created a new child care option in Lawrence that caters to parents who favor a holistic environment and need the option of a flexible day care schedule.

OmSprout Creative Play and Drop-in Care, 1341 Mass., opened Sept. 3 and provides child care for children ages 6 months to 5 years. Schedules are based on individual families’ needs, and the methods and environment of the center are inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf education.

OmSprout owner Meghan Arthur says the concept for OmSprout came from observing the needs of families during her many years working with families and children. Arthur is the oldest of four children. She started working as a nanny at age 15 and spent time nannying in both Australia and France.

“I was really able to see the way that people’s lives work and what the need was,” says Arthur. “I always found that people either had a lot of time but not a lot of money, or a lot of money but not a lot of — Georgia Palos, time.” who sends her OmSprout welcomes famithat need full-time day 2-year-old son lies care — Arthur’s 10-monthLeo to OmSprout old son Otis is at the center full-time — but OmSprout also strives to meet the needs of families with stay-athome parents and parents with part-time jobs by not requiring families to commit to a strict schedule or minimum number of hours.

“I sometimes feel like parents who stay home get discounted as not needing time to themselves,” Arthur says.

“Even if people don’t need full-time or regular child care, child care is still something that is very important to their lives.”

Emily Hester works as a certified nurse midwife in the Lawrence area and utilizes OmSprout for her sons Patrick and Benjamin, ages 14 months and 4 years. Hester says OmSprout is a good fit for her family because she does not need full-time child care, but she often needs child care on short notice because of her profession.

“There are a lot of moms like me that need a little bit of child care, so this a really good fit for the community,” said Hester.

To accommodate families with a variety of income levels, OmSprout’s fees follow a sliding scale. OmSprout also offers a cooperative option where parents can assist at the center in exchange for child care. Parents earn one hour of child care for every two that they work.

Everyone who helps at OmSprout must undergo an application process that includes a background check. The center has a capacity for 12 children at any one time.

Arthur says the natural environment and Waldorf-in-

“If you’re looking for child care that is natural and Waldorf-based, with a lot of thought going into everything that is done — that is not also super-expensive — your options are slim,” Arthur says.

Arthur first learned about Waldorf methods while working as nanny in Australia, and she completed a Steiner-based “kinder” training for ages 4, 5 and 6 while living there.

Arthur said that the daily rhythm of OmSprout, as well as the toys, which are simple in design and toxin-free, reflect the Waldorf approach. Activities include puppet shows, painting and a lot of time outdoors. All of the food served at OmSprout is vegetarian, organic, and glutenand dairy-free. The center does not have a television, but Arthur says she does play CDs for the kids.

“There is so much good kids’ music out there, and sometimes a little dance party can do wonders,” Arthur says.

Hester says the Waldorf approach meshes well with her parenting style, and although her family does not follow a restricted diet, she appreciates the healthy

menu at OmSprout.

“It’s so nice to have someone with that ethic who is committed to providing some of these principles for little ones,” Hester says. “I know that my kids are not sitting in front of the TV snacking on candy bars when they are with Meghan.”

Prairie Moon Waldorf School, 1853 E. 1600 Road, provides Waldorf education on a fixed schedule for children in preschool through sixth grade. Imagine, 536 Fireside Court, offers another drop-in child care option in Lawrence.

Georgia Palos, who works part-time as a massage therapist and sends her 2-yearold son, Leo, to OmSprout, says she appreciates the availability of a child care provider that will work with her irregular schedule and finds OmSprout’s environment comforting.

“I like to keep things organic and clean, so it brings me a lot of comfort knowing that Meghan is thinking about all of these things,” Palos says. “The place is cute and it is super calm. It’s all pluses.”

FRIDAY No school

Parents, assume your teen will have sex Dr. Wes: One of the hottest topics in my media interviews on parenting this year has been, “Is my teen having sex?”

Apparently teen sex creates an a lot of mystery for parents, which always baffles me.

Here’s what we know: 47 percent of high school students have had sexual intercourse, and 35 percent report being sexually active at any given moment. The average age for first intercourse in the U.S. is 17.

So here’s what the statistics don’t tell you: The 53 percent of teens who report having not had intercourse by age 18 are distributed over grades nine to 12. So, as your teen gets older, his or her chances of having sex increase substantially, and by age 19, 70 percent have done so.

There’s also a misperception that the sexually inactive teens have made an affirmative decision to remain abstinent.

While I’ve worked with kids that actually chose this path, the majority of sexually inactive teens tell me they’re not having sex because they’ve not yet had the opportunity to do so. So if you added a question to the survey asking whether sexually inactive teens would like to have sex, I suspect the majority would say “yes.”

This means that teens in the dating pool are far more likely to be sexually active than those who are not. I realize this may seem obvious, but until you really understand that formula, it’s easy to imagine that your teenager is one of the 53 percent and put off dealing with his or her emerging sexuality until it’s too late.

So what’s the bottom line for parents?

Don’t spend time trying to figure out if your teen is having sex or not. Assume with absolute certainty that at some point they will make that choice, and do your best through healthy dialogue to assure that they do so in as ethical, safe and wise a manner as possible.

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT Katie: Last week, one of my friends made a joke that I thought summed up the whole of teenage sexuality quite nicely. It began, as most of our conversations do, with a stress fest about college.

“I have this ideal college in my head,” Friend One said, “but I don’t know if the real thing will live up to that picture.”

Smirking, Friend Two replied, “That’s how I feel about love.”

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, but it brings up a good point about the anxieties that confront today’s youth. Adolescence is a time of experimentation: from academics to socialization to love and relationships, we want to explore the bounds of our curiosity to define ourselves as adults.

Our parents are usually ecstatic to see us enjoying new classes and making new friends, but they tend to pull out the stop signs when their kids start leaning toward the most secretive and forbidden of all adult rituals — and with good reason.

Rushing into sex as an adolescent can have permanent physical and mental consequences.

ON THE AIR Want to talk more about teen sexuality and dating? Join Dr. Wes and a panel of young adults at 11 a.m. Wednesday on Up to Date with Steve Kraske, on KCUR 89.3 FM. Luckily, not every hormonally charged teenager gets a chance to satisfy that curiosity in high school. Many of us have our hands full just getting dates to Winter Formal. However, it’s a minority of sexually inactive teens that don’t feel drawn to the daydream of sex from time to time.

Abstaining from sex is not synonymous with simply not having sex. Abstinence requires a conscious choice — saying “no” to Prince (or Princess) Charming. Instead, most of the teenagers I know are simply waiting until they’re out of the house, or as Wes points out, until the opportunity presents itself.

It’s ineffective to lecture teens to remain abstinent until marriage. We don’t know when or whom we’ll marry, or if we’ll even marry at all. Instead, the best advice I can give my peers is exactly what I’ve been told about college: Don’t settle.

Don’t settle for a partner who’s simply willing. You deserve to treat yourself with more respect than that. Have sex because you’ve found your ideal romance, and until then, trust that it’s not far away.

A winter survival guide for your house

BY KATY READ AND CHRISTY DESMITH, STAR TRIBUNE

H

ere’s how to get through this winter without burst pipes, broken furnaces, heat loss, ice dams, house fires, flooded basements, unwanted critters, huge energy bills, cold feet and other problems that can plague the frigidweather homeowner.

CHIMNEY

lating walls, crawl spaces and floors can cut energy bills by up to 10 percent. Seal leaky ducts with metal-backed tape or aerosol sealant. Consider having your insulation updated to save money, improve comfort and lower the risk of ice dams.

Set your thermostat between 65 and 70 degrees when you’re home; lower it when you’re sleeping or away from home for more than a few hours. Use a programmable thermostat to make the switches automatic.

On sunny days, open curtains and blinds to let the sun’s heat in. Close them at night to trap the warmth inside.

Close or install storm windows, which reduce drafts and frost formation and can cut heat loss through the window by 25 to 50 percent. For a cheaper alternative, cover windows with plastic.

Have it inspected by a professional chimney inspector every year.

Have it cleaned every year or two, or more if you have a lot of fires or tend to burn softer woods.

FIREPLACE

Close the damper when the fireplace is not in use. When you’re using it, turn down the thermostat and open a window near the fireplace to prevent warm air from being pulled from other parts of the house.

Install glass doors on the fireplace to keep warm air from being drawn up the chimney.

If you use the fireplace frequently, a fireplace insert improves efficiency by blowing heat into the room and limiting heat loss up the chimney.

KEEP COLD OUT, HEAT IN

HEATING

Change your furnace filters per the manufacturer recommendations. Most homes are built with a 1-inch filter which should be refreshed every month.

Clean your furnace before the first cold spell. If your furnace isn’t too dirty, you can save money by vacuuming the blades yourself.

COSTUME IDEAS FROM THEATER PROS

BY SARA SHEPHERD

E

nvisioning a costume is one thing. Translating it from a mental picture to something you or your child can wear is another.

The resourceful, creative professionals who create costumes for Lawrence’s community theaters do both. And with Halloween just weeks away, a couple of the professionals kindly agreed to share some pointers with us here at Go! Jane Pennington designs costumes for Theatre Lawrence, including “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure,” “Blithe Spirit” and “The Secret Garden” in recent years. Pennington, who has a master’s degree in costume design, favors historical characters and the research that goes along with costuming them.

Jennifer Glenn designs costumes for Lawrence Arts Center productions and, usually, a few lucky friends’ or relatives’ children at Halloween. Instead of period costumes, she prefers the type of characters that wear bright colors and have silly names.

We asked each pro to share a favorite costume or two she has created. And for those of us who aren’t sewing experts, we also asked for tips to help us make homemade versions — or to keep in mind when concocting a different outfit altogether.

“There’s no rules for Halloween,” Glenn said. “It should be a chance to be really creative, as long as you can move in it — at least enough to get your candy.”

IRENE ADLER Among her favorite characters to dress, Pennington cites Irene Adler, the beautiful and witty female character from Theatre Lawrence’s 2008 production of “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure.”

As with any historical character, Pennington startMike Yoder/Journal-World Photo ed with research. Period artwork (try library books or museums) and Internet surfing are good resources, JENNIFER GLENN, LEFT, an acting instructor at the Lawrence she said. Building the costume comes next.

Arts Center, is also a freelance costume designer and has created unique costumes like this larger-than-life piccolo worn by Whitney “With a theater production, usually the first Boomer, a dancer and visiting artist at Lawrence Arts Center. thing I do is go to our warehouse and look at what

RENT A COSTUME Theatre Lawrence this year is renting out costumes for adults from its warehouse. Prices range from roughly $35 to $50, plus a security deposit.

The warehouse, 1705 Haskell Ave., Unit B, will be open the following times and days for costume rental: O 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Wednesday O 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Oct. 26 O 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 27 O 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 28

we might have that would work with the time period, and then the characters,” Pennington said.

At home, that’s the equivalent of shopping your closet. If you don’t have the long skirt or ruffled blouse you want, try Goodwill. Second-hand stores can be great sources for pieces such as floorlength skirts and old formal or wedding gowns, Pennington said, and specialty stores like Fun and Games, 830 Mass., have cheap accessories.

For the Theatre Lawrence show, Pennington designed Adler’s dresses and sewed them herself in rich fabrics. But for a Halloween costume, she said, that level of investment isn’t necessary.

“For me, for Halloween costumes, the fun part is trying to be creative without spending a whole lot of money,” she said. “This is a one-shot deal for a lot of people — you don’t have a week’s worth of Halloween parties where you can show this off. Trying to pull from your own closet and just add accessories for it is part of the challenge and part of the fun.”

Sidekick: Sherlock Holmes Some of the most iconic pictures of Sherlock Holmes show him in a deerstalker hat with the flaps tied above his head, Pennington said. A vest, a pipe and maybe a walking stick would be great additions.

LAST-MINUTE COSTUMES FROM YOUR CLOSET Do not — we repeat, do not — be the person who shows up to a Halloween party with no costume.

Here are some ideas for using items you probably have at home, or can buy for $10 or less, to turn a business suit or little black dress into a bona fide Halloween costume.

+ Superman T-shirt + darkrimmed glasses = Clark Kent

+ high bun + pearls + cigarette = Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

OOMPA-LOOMPAS This spring, Glenn was tasked with transforming actors from kindergarten-age through adults into OompaLoompas for the arts center production of “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka.”

She put them in overalls, T-shirts with screen-printed shapes on the sleeves and striped socks she’d been collecting — many from Target — since the previous summer. Oompa-Loompas were allowed to decorate their own pill-box hats with pipe-cleaners, flowers and sequins, something Glenn said she likes to allow for children at Halloween, too.

“I always think it’s fun to do what a kid wants as opposed to what a parent does,” she said, explaining that most any creation makes a fine Halloween costume if the child is excited about it.

To avoid sewing and screen-printing at home, overalls can be fashioned with felt pieces cut and pinned into the shape of a bib with suspenders, and shapes can be stuck on with double-sided tape or iron-on adhesive. On the feet, any silly sneakers would do, Glenn said.

“I prepare for Halloween about three days prior because I think last-minute ideas are the most clever.”

CLARINET Glenn said the clarinet from “The Runaway Orchestra,” previously performed by the Seem-To-Be Players, was a personal favorite design.

The Tuba and Violin costumes that went with it would be tough to tackle at home, she said, but the clarinet’s long slender shape is more easily replicated. She sewed a series of hoops inside a padded costume with appliquéd keys, but you could get a similar effect with a black vest, long straight skirt, folded-down witch hat and silver paint, taped-on felt or even duct tape for keys.

“Go online and look at a clarinet, and start taping away,” Glenn said.

SPOOKY SIGHTSEEING N

o need to travel all the way to Hotel Transylvania this Halloween season to encounter vampires, zombies, ghouls, ghosts, illusions, apparitions and various other members of the living dead.

Ghostbusters don’t stand a chance in “the most haunted town in Kansas” — Atchison, just a stone’s throw away (52 miles) from Lawrence. A unique collection of tours and events sure to spook even the most ardent skeptic await visitors to this favorite destination for paranormal enthusiasts.

THE ATCHISON TROLLEY makes a scheduled stop at the McInteer home, said to be particularly haunted.

DAYTRIPPER Even closer to home, in Kansas City, Mo., Worlds of Fun’s Halloween Haunt offers, through Oct. 28, family fun — complete with shows, costume contests and trick-or-treating — during daytime hours on Saturdays and Scare-Free Sundays, plus 13 Extreme Haunt attractions during the witching hours at night on Fridays and Saturdays.

There’s nothing like either of these “daytripper” destinations for getting in the spirit of the season.

TOMBSTONE RUBBINGS AND TALES OF TERROR Historic Mount Vernon Cemetery houses the graves and monuments of those who built Atchison into a thriving commercial river town — and maybe a ghost or two.

When you take the Tombstone Rubbing Tour in Haunted Atchison, a psychic, Keli Adams, guides you in the basics of doing respectful memorials. Although being a US Airways flight attendant is her day job, Adams is also a paranormal investigator who hunts ghosts for sport.

Expect your own imagination to take flight as you hear the stories of some of the deceased who are buried in this picturesque cemetery. And if you happen to feel a sudden chill in the air on a bright, sunny day in the graveyard — well, some of the permanent occupants just can’t seem to rest.

SALLIE, THE CELEBRITY GHOST Did a botched appendectomy, causing a little girl to die in horrible agony, chain her spirit forever to the place where she suffered? Mediums who visit Atchison appear convinced that 6-year-old Sallie is a definite presence in town.

Because I’m too stubborn to admit when my mother is right, I opted to set out on a quest to buy new boots.

Downtown boot quest M

y feet prefer the company of boots over any other encasement in which I could place them. When I find a pair I like, I wear them until the sole is flapping off and super glue no longer adheres to the halfdozen layers of glue previously applied.

Toward the end of a boot’s life, I hear my mother’s voice in my head every time I pull them on: “Those look awful. Some polish would do wonders.” But because I’m too stubborn to admit when my mother is right, I opted to set out on a quest to buy new boots. It went something like this: 3 p.m. Head downtown and, on the way, decide what I’m looking for: brown leather boots that hit at mid-calf and have no heel. Simple enough.

3:15 p.m. Walk into Arizona Trading Company, 736 Mass. I don’t find any boots for me, but I realize that this place is a man’s boot heaven. I found some awesome men’s Wrangler boots for $16.50.

3:25 p.m. Make it to the Antique Mall, 830 Mass., where I usually buy my boots.

Before walking in, I add a stipulation to my “perfect boot” list: no cowboy boots.

Men’s boot at the Antique Mall

3:27 p.m. Find booth No. 501 and once again find a slew of amazing men’s boots. No cool women’s boots.

3:35 p.m. Find some cool navy blue boots in booth No. 3. They’re way too small and don’t have a price tag.

3:40 p.m. Leave the Antique Mall empty-handed.

3:44 p.m. Walk into Weavers, 901 Mass., and get momentarily sidetracked by their collection of ‘60s-inspired, longsleeved sweater dresses.

3:47 p.m. Again, leave with nothing.

3:49 p.m. Get to Wild Man Vintage, 939 Mass. Their selection of boots is beautifully organized into one room. I try not to look at the guys’ side.

3:50 p.m. Find two potential options.

One ash gray pair, one camel brown pair.

3:51 p.m. Realize the ash gray option is a size 7 ½. I try them on even though I’m a size 9. I don’t even get my foot halfway into the shoe.

3:52 p.m. Try on the camel-colored pair. They’re a size 8 ½ and have a small heel. They fit, but I’m not com-

pletely in love so I move on.

4:05 p.m. Walk into Kieu’s, 738 Mass.

There are way too many people crowded in front of the shoe wall, so I do a once over from the other side of the store to see if anything catches my eye. The only boots that don’t have heels are suede. Suede is too delicate for my rain/snow/dirt trudging lifestyle. I walk out.

4:08 p.m. Start walking back to my car, disappointed with my failed quest.

4:09 p.m. Decide to stop at Made, 737 Mass. I justify buying a pair of mittens because of the money I saved by not buying boots.

4:10 p.m. Decide to try Brown’s Shoe Fit Company, 829 Mass., as one last stop for boots. I spot some shoe polish and immediately decide to buy it.

4:10 p.m. Realize my mom was right (again).

4:25 p.m. Get back to my house and polish my old boots. Decide the quick fix will suffice and put off the “new boot” quest for another day.

GUITAR HERO

I

t was a crisp autumn night. My husband had just treated his loving wife to dinner in Westport before strolling over to The Beaumont Club to see one of his favorite guitarists, Mark Tremonti, pair up with one of his favorite bassists, Wolfgang Van Halen, at this intimate concert venue.

The tickets were free, the air was cool, his date was hot.

For 45 head-banging minutes, my husband stood mere feet away from Wolfgang, who is not only a gifted musician in his own right, but the son of my husband’s alltime guitar hero, Eddie Van Halen.

So devoted to Eddie Van Halen is my dear husband, he petitioned hard and long for us to name our own son Wolfgang, just like Eddie did. (We compromised, and Luke Edward Dunlap fits him just fine.)

So inspired by Eddie Van Halen is my soul mate, he sold off two prized guitars to buy the first left-handed version of Eddie’s Wolfgang guitar.

So in awe of Eddie Van Halen is my usually cool-headed life partner that when Wolfgang tossed his guitar pick into the crowd that night, my husband spent most of the encore on his knees retrieving the rock relic. The look of joy on his face when he pulled the signature-striped guitar pick off the gooey bar floor outshined that of any child on any Christmas morning ever.

He didn’t think the night could get any better, but then Tremonti announced they would be greeting fans after the show.

Undertattooed and overdressed but riding high off the rare piece of swag, we waited to meet Tremonti, the younger Van Halen and bandmates while my husband formed a winning conversation-starter in

his head, a line he nailed chatting it up with the stars of the show as we moved through the meet-and-greet.

The rockers were gracious, kind and personable, completing a night that would have remained forever etched in my husband’s memory as perfection, if only he had stayed off Twitter the next day and not read Wolfie’s announcement: “So glad my pop got to see the #Tremonti gig tonight in KC!” Apparently his “pop,” one Edward Van Halen, had been there too.

Suddenly the joy of the evening was replaced with gut-wrenching regret. My husband’s own Dutch-American idol had stood in the same room, and all he had to show for it was a guitar pick.

This was even worse than returning from North Carolina this summer to find his imaginary girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, had been staying just a couple of miles away from us in the same sleepy beach town the whole time.

So close, yet so far.

But he still has his guitar pick. And his hot date. And the hope that he might someday meet the elder Van Halen. And really, that’s not too bad.

MOVE A PIANO M

oving a piano is seldom fun, but with the right tools and a few strong backs, it can be done.

Step 1: Plan your move. Measure the piano and then measure the doorways, hallways and stairways it will pass through.

Choose the shortest, clearest route with the least amount of steps. Most pianos weigh between 400 and 1,000 pounds. A group of four able-bodied people should be able to move an average piano without too much difficulty.

Step 2: The casters on the bottom of the piano legs are decorative, not functional. Refrain from pushing or pulling a piano using its own casters. For short distances, position able-bodied people at each piano leg and have them lift the piano up so the casters still touch the ground but do not have the weight of the piano resting on them. Move the piano across the ground in this manner.

Step 3: For slightly longer distances across level surfaces, balanced the piano onto a simple four wheeled carpeted dolly.

Position the dolly at one end of the piano.

Tip the piano up and slide the dolly beneath it. Center the dolly under the piano and gently push the piano to its new home.

When moving through doorways or tight

}

spaces, wrap pianos with heavy moving blankets to reduce the risk of damage.

Step 4: For longer distances, it is best to use a four-wheel hand-truck-type piano dolly. Typically made with wooden handles and rubber casters, these strapand-lever contraptions make light work of heavy loads. Position the dollies on either end of the piano, with the piano legs resting atop the steel lip of the dolly. For grand pianos, tip the piano onto its side and position the dollies face to face on either side of the piano.

Step 5: Use lashing straps to secure the dollies tightly to the piano. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to properly cinch the straps.

Step 6: Once the piano is secured, position one able-bodied person at each dolly.

Grasp the dolly handles and place one foot gingerly atop the dolly’s foot lever.

Step 7: Simultaneously press down on each of the dollies’ foot levers to raise the piano off the ground.

Step 8: Retighten the lashing straps to secure the piano to the dollies, and slowly push and pull the piano to its new home.
