As the nation reflected on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, local community and religious leaders honored the victims and urged Lawrence residents to overcome their fears inflicted by the tragedy.

More than a hundred residents filled the Dole Institute of Politics on Kansas University’s West Campus to attend the commemoration, titled “From Fear to Hope.”

Two victims of the attacks shared their memories, including harrowing escapes and acts of courage.

“The disaster truly brought out the best in New Yorkers,” said Jane Tedder, recounting her experience at the World Trade Center.

Tedder was attending a conference in New York and was inside the Marriott Hotel adjacent to the towers when they were struck.

During her speech, she paid tribute to the hotel employees who died as they evacuated the building.

Capt. Thomas Neal was inside the Pentagon during the attack.

He described the strange experience of 20,000 Pentagon employees exiting the building in complete silence. “It was quiet, orderly and surreal,” Neal said.

Many of Neal’s he were killed that day; his naval department suffered a 40 percent casualty rate. He paid tribute to the victims and their families.

The multifaith commemoration was as much a move forward as it was a look to the past.

Thad Holcombe, campus minister for the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, led the processions, which featured a tribute to first

responders and words of reflection from representatives of 11 religions.

Mayor Aron Cromwell also spoke, emphasizing the importance of common sense and unity in the post-9/11 world.

The event was hosted by An Interfaith Dialogue, a grassroots organization that promotes religious unity and diversity in Lawrence.

Dru Sampson, president of IFD, thought the anniversary of the attacks was the perfect opportunity to promote the group’s message.

“We need to move on from hatred and fear,” she said. “The way to bring peace and harmony to the world is through meeting each other.”

Professor recounts personal history

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Editor’s note: This is the fourth in an occasional series of stories by reporter Andy Hyland, asking Kansas University staff to share “16 Things I’ve Done.”

Don Worster, a distinguished professor of history at KU and an accomplished environmental historian, took time last week to share 16 things he’s done.

1) Grew up “on the wrong side of the tracks in the wrong parts

of two different states.” He was born in Needles, Calif., near the Arizona border, and far from Malibu and Los Angeles. His family then moved to Hutchinson, where his father worked held various jobs on the railroad and picking fruit.

“It gave me so much,” he said.

“I loved the great skies and prairies and open spaces.”

2) Read the entire Bible through twice, having grown up in a fundamentalist family.

3) Read the entire works of Charles Darwin, despite having

a church member ask him once what he was doing reading that “wicked” book.

4) Admitted he “wasted time” in the pubs while at KU as an undergraduate in the early 1960s, but managed to pick up enough “by osmosis” to get a great education in English and communication.

doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life — and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack.

“These past 10 years tell a story of resilience,” Obama said at a memorial concert at the Kennedy Center after he visited all three attack sites.

“It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and emerged stronger,” he said.

The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert. Ahead of the anniversary, the federal government warned those cities of a tip about a possible car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go through checkpoints.

The names of the fallen — 2,983 of them, including all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists set off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 — echoed across a place utterly transformed.

In the exact footprints of the two towers was a stately memorial, two great, weeping waterfalls, unveiled for the first time and, at least on the first day, open only to the relatives of the victims.

Around the square perimeter of each were bronze parapets, etched with names.

One Sept. 11 relative pronounced the memorial breathtaking. An underground section and a museum won’t open until next year, but for many of the families, the names were enough.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, right, first lady Michelle Obama, second from right, former President George W. Bush, second from left, and former first lady Laura Bush observe a moment of silence Sunday at the National September 11 Memorial for a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the attacks at the World Trade Center in New York. er met because I was in my mother’s belly. I love you, Father. You gave me the gift of life, and I wish you could be here to enjoy it with me.”

Obama, standing behind bulletproof glass and in front of the white oak trees of the memorial, read a Bible passage after a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., when the first jetliner slammed into the north tower 10 years ago.

The president, quoting Psalm 46, invoked the presence of God as an inspiration to endure: “Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.”

Obama and Bush, joined by their wives, walked up to one of the pools and put their hands to some of the names.

Bush later read from a letter that President Abraham Lincoln wrote to a mother believed to have lost five sons in the Civil War: “I pray that our heavenly father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement.”

In a ceremony at the Pentagon, Biden paid tribute to “the 9/11 generation of warriors.”

“Never before in our history has America asked so much over such a sustained period of an all-volunteer force,” he said. “So I can say without fear of contradiction or being accused of exaggeration, the 9/11 generation ranks among the greatest our nation has ever produced, and it was born — it was born — it was born right here on 9/11.”

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta paid tribute to 6,200 members of the U.S. military who have died in the Iraq and Afghan wars. One hundred eighty-four people died at the Pentagon.

sylvania town after their visit to New York and placed a wreath at the memorial.

During the president’s visit, members of the crowd chanted, “USA! USA!” One man called out: “Thanks for getting bin Laden!” It was the first anniversary observance since al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in May. In Joplin, Mo., where 160 people died in May in the nation’s deadliest tornado in six decades, New York firefighters and ground zero construction workers joined survivors in a tribute to the victims of Sept. 11.

The New York contingent brought a 20-by-30-foot American flag recovered a decade ago from a building near the trade center. Survivors of a Greensburg, Kan., tornado began repairing the flag in 2008, using remnants of flags from their town. The final stitches are being made in Joplin, Mo., and then the flag will go to the National 9/11 Memorial Museum.

Missouri is the last stop on a 50-state tour to promote national unity and volunteerism.

“We’re so far away from the World Trade Center,” said Christy Miller, who brought her mother and two children to the Joplin tribute.

“But it doesn’t matter how far away you are.”

Some observed the day as a time to serve. Thousands cleaned parks, renovated community centers and gave blood as they did in the days after the 2001 attacks. Some said they were trying to reclaim good will that they said has been lost amid political rancor and economic fear.

The world offered gestures large and small. The Colosseum in Rome, rarely lit up, glowed in solidarity. Pope Benedict XVI encouraged people to resist “temptation toward hatred” and focus on justice and peace. Taps sounded in Belgium and in Bagram, Afghanistan. In Madrid, they planted 10 American oak trees in a park, led by a prince.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, then a U.S. representative, visited ground zero.

He visited a makeshift memorial people had made near the World Trade Center rubble and remembered a message written on a piece of notebook paper. The note was from a daughter to her father, saying that she missed him and hoped that she could live her life so that one day she could see her father in heaven. Moran said the message was signed by a 12-yearold named Amanda.

Moran was one of three speakers who addressed a crowd Sunday afternoon at VFW Park in Leavenworth as part of that city’s 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony.

Moran also recalled being in his office near the Pentagon and feeling the building shake from the impact of Flight 77 hitting the building.

Citizens responded together to the attack and the military personnel fought for their country as a result of the attack.

“No one responded because they were Republicans or Democrats,” Moran said.

“No soldiers fought because of partisan politics.”

Col. Wayne A. Green, garrison commander at Fort

Leavenworth, also spoke, as did Leavenworth County Commissioner Clyde Graeber.

Graeber, who at the time of the attacks was secretary of the Kansas Department Health and Environment, said he and other state officials met with then-Gov. Bill Graves to discuss preparations for the state in the wake of the attack, including areas in the state that could be targets for future attacks. Graeber’s response: Fort Leavenworth.

Green, who represented the fort at the ceremony, said about 9/11: “Clear, cool fall skies were interrupted by jet streams of evil. Clear skies were replaced with a clear realization that America was under attack.”

About the country’s response, he said, “Fear is no match for selflessness of American people.”

Master of ceremonies for the ceremony was retired Lt. Col. Tom Meier, husband of state Rep. Melanie Meier, D-Leavenworth. The Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC presented the colors, while Paige Padgett sang the national anthem. Chaplain Gary “Sam” Sanford gave the invocation and bugler Jim Timmons performed taps.

Several local officials participated in the laying of wreaths for the deceased at the park in downtown Leavenworth.

Fire displaces 10 from house

Baker event emphasizes diversity, thanks to troops

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

A house on the 1300 block of Tennessee caught fire early Sunday morning, displacing, but not injuring, all 10 of the residents.

Andrew Adford, who stayed at the house Saturday night, was awake about 6 a.m. when he noticed a couch on the front porch was on fire.

“I woke up everyone up on the bottom floor, checked it again and the entire deck was on fire,” said Adford, a sophomore at Kansas University.

Adford rushed upstairs to alert the second- and thirdfloor residents, who exited the house through a fire escape in the back. By this time, Adford said, the fire started to spread.

By the time firefighters arrived about 6:30 a.m., the front of the house was fully engulfed, with flames emitting from the roof, said Chief Mark Bradford of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical.

An hour later, the fire was contained, and residents stood outside drinking bottled water as they watched smoke pour from the attic of the charred house. Bradford said they would need to be relocated.

The residents didn’t have any relocation plans but said KU would offer them assistance.

Baker University Minister Ira DeSpain was on the Baldwin City campus when the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks took place in 2001. He remembers students gathering in Osborne Chapel that evening to mourn and pray as a community.

“It was a very fearful night.

It was full of lots of tears, lots of uncertainty, lots of stress, lots of nervousness,” DeSpain said.

Members of the Baker University community gathered in the chapel again Sunday night to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks. “(The chapel) is a place for us to come when we deal with these ultimate things or tragedies that affect us individually or together,” DeSpain said.

The commemoration was organized by Baker’s offices of student life and multicultural affairs, the Baker University ministry and Mungano.

Mungano is a club that promotes diversity on Baker’s campus. It partnered with DeSpain and used the

Time to move on At memorial services, people talked of grief and loss and war and justice. But they also talked of moving forward.

“Every year it becomes more significant,” Barbara Gorman said at a service for the Port Authority dead, which included 37 police officers, one of them her husband, Thomas. “My kids are 25, 21, 18. They understand now. It’s not so much a tragedy anymore as history, the history of our country.”

In the decade between then and now, children have grown. The second-graders who were with Bush on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, will graduate high school next spring. And children who were in the cradle or the womb on that day are old enough to read names at the anniversary, old enough to bear the full burden of their grief.

Mungano treasurer Eldina Kunic is Muslim and acted as a speaker at the ceremony.

Kunic read from the Quran and shared her experiences and memories of Sept. 11. “(The ceremony) focused on diversity and how important diversity is,” Kunic said.

“This was a terrorist attack, and it wasn’t a Muslim attack on the Christians or a religious-type thing; it was just an attack. There’s evil in many people, and some people act on it and some people don’t.”

Associate professor of physics Ran Sivron is Jewish and also spoke at the ceremony.

Elsewhere in U.S., world In Shanksville, Pa., a choir sang at the Flight 93 National Memorial, and a crowd of 5,000 listened to a reading of the names of 40 passengers and crew killed aboard the fourth jetliner hijacked that day a decade ago. Obama and his wife traveled to the Penn-

“That is the direction that I decided to go, to make it multifaith,” DeSpain said. “This is our community and we’re not all the same, and it wasn’t a religion that attacked the towers; it was terrorists utilizing religion.”

After the ceremony, guests were invited into the chapel’s basement for a service project as a part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance. Students wrote letters for A Million Thanks, a campaign to thank those in the military for serving our country.

“We wanted to incorporate service into this day, and the first thing that came to my mind was showing appreciation for those who fought to defend our freedom and de-

fend our country,” director of Student Life Brett Bruner said.

The ceremony and project took place to specifically honor those lost or affected

by Sept. 11 and the aftermath of the attacks.

“It’s important for us to remember the people who protect us. It is important for us to look ahead as a country and as people of faith to the possibilities of what it means to be united and living in a world where the idea is living in peace,” DeSpain said.

Leaders report on what they learned from ALEC

Aerosol art 1 | NIGER

Gadhafi son reportedly in Niger A convoy carrying ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s son al-Saadi has crossed into neighboring Niger, a spokesman for Niger’s government said Sunday, one of the highest-profile former regime figure to flee to the landlocked African nation.

Al-Saadi, the fugitive ruler’s 37-year-old son, entered Niger in a convoy with nine other people, said Niger Justice Minister Amadou Morou. The vehicles were traveling south toward the outpost of Agadez, where other fleeing Libyan loyalists are believed to be holed up in a hotel.

Morou said al-Saadi “has no status at all” in Niger, indicating that he has not been granted refugee status, which would guarantee him certain rights.

Ruler skips Mubarak trial Egypt’s military ruler and one-time confidant of Hosni Mubarak failed to attend a court session Sunday that was expected to bring highly anticipated testimony about the ousted president’s alleged role in the death of protesters and possibly offer insider revelations about the regime’s final days.

The no-show by Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi was a major disappointment for Egyptians seeking to have the reckoning over the bloodshed reach to the highest levels. It also could reflect hesitation by Mubarak’s former allies to face him in court and possibly shed embarrassing secrets.

The judge immediately requested Tantawi return to court Sept. 24.

Number of destroyed homes rises The number of homes destroyed by a still-raging wildfire in Bastrop rose on Sunday to 1,554 and will increase further as emergency crews enter areas where the blaze has been extinguished. Seventeen people remain unaccounted for, but officials believe they could simply be out of town.

Bastrop County officials joined by Democratic U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett sought to provide new information to hundreds of residents evacuated a week ago, when blustering wind whipped up by Tropical Storm Lee swept across parched, drought-stricken Texas — helping to spark more than 190 wildfires statewide that killed four people.

The worst of the fires is the one in Bastrop that has consumed more than 34,000 acres.

Crews have now contained more than 50 percent of the blaze, paving the way for people to begin returning home and trying to rebuild their lives from the remains of the smoldering rubble.

Study puts SpongeBob in hot water The cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is in hot water from a study suggesting that watching just nine minutes of that program can cause shortterm attention and learning problems in 4-year-olds.

The problems were seen in a study of 60 children randomly assigned to either watch “SpongeBob,” or the slower-paced PBS cartoon “Caillou” or assigned to draw pictures. Immediately after these nineminute assignments, the kids took mental function tests; those who had watched “SpongeBob” did measurably worse than the others.

Previous research has linked TV-watching with long-term attention problems in children, but the new study suggests more immediate problems can occur after very little exposure — results that parents of young kids should be alert to, the study authors said.

The committee would provide progress reports, seek answers to questions and otherwise ensure that the group’s upcoming months of work would lead to a plan acceptable to board members, the people who ultimately would be responsible for implementing it.

“We may have questions that we’d like to have clarified by the board,” said Epp, a representative from Cordley School, where he has a son enrolled. “We may want to see if a course of action that we’re considering is acceptable to this board.”

TOPEKA — Approximately two dozen Kansas legislators will start the 2012 legislative session armed with information on defeating federal health reform, expanding charter schools and lowering business taxes that they received at the American Legislative Exchange Council meeting.

In written reports filed with the state, the legislators — all Republicans LEGISLATURE — said Kansas will benefit by their attendance at ALEC’s annual meeting, which was Aug. 3-6 in New Orleans.

The written comments of Rep. Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, were typical of many of the legislators’ reports.

“The strongest benefit to Kansas of attending national organizations like ALEC is that I learn what is being done in other states and what worked and didn’t work in other states with the issues that are affecting all of us,” Knox wrote.

ALEC describes its mission as advancing free markets, limited government, federalism and individual liberty. The group includes legislators and representatives of corporate interests that produce “model legislation.” If the legislative members of ALEC approve the legislation they will then take those measures back to state capitals across the nation for possible approval. Some of those measures — aimed at thwarting the federal health reform law and the EPA — have been approved in Kansas.

vote-getter in the board’s April election: “What he said.”

Diaz Moore and Ingram support the committee approach, an initiative suggested by a member of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group.

Group members met Wednesday to start work on a plan to consolidate six district elementaries into either three or four within two to three years.

Devising Ingram such a consolidation plan is the group’s assigned task, with a plan due to the seven-member school board by the end of January.

Chuck Epp, a member of the working group, wants the group to take a fresh approach toward studying options: form a committee of working group members to “communicate” with the

Firsthand experience with Lyme disease inspires volunteerism

By Micki Chestnut

When Tammy Farmer gave birth to her son, Logan, her life changed dramatically, but not in the usual way.

Without knowing it, Farmer was a carrier of Lyme disease, and it wasn’t until she went through the physical stress of childbirth that she began to experience symptoms like excruciating pain and cognitive impairment. Because the tickborne bacterium that cause Lyme disease can pass through the placenta, Logan was infected before he was born.

As Farmer left the hospital with her newborn, she began the battle of her life, not only fighting for her and her son’s health, but also for other victims of Lyme disease by volunteering for Kansas Lyme Fighters Inc. Lyme disease can cause a wide array of health challenges that range from gasRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo trointestinal to neurological to musculoskeletal, making it easy to misdiagnose.

ALEC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Health care exchange implementation Shortly after the ALEC meeting in New Orleans, Gov. Sam Brownback rejected a $31.5 million federal grant, which he had earlier accepted, to establish a health insurance exchange system.

Brownback’s administration has stopped implementation of an exchange in Kansas for now although Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger is continuing to work on the issue.

The exchange is a key part of President Barack Obama’s health reform legislation. It is designed to provide citizens with a one-stop shop to purchase health insurance and determine eligibility for subsidies to get coverage. It was a major topic of discussion at the ALEC meeting.

In the written reports, Rep. Lance Kinzer, R-Olathe, and several other legislators mentioned discussions on exchanges. “This year I was able to attend in-depth presentations on health care exchange implementation that included a spirited and helpful discussion on the options available to states including the pros and cons of taking no action.”

In Kansas, legislators who attend conferences that are at least partially funded by taxpayer dollars are required to write a report about ways the Legislature and state will benefit by their attendance.

When it comes to ALEC, the state pays for registration fees to the meeting for those who serve on an ALEC task force, which according to reimbursement forms ranged from $375 to $575. Other expenses are picked up by the legislator unless he or she received a scholarship, which is supplied by donations to ALEC. The state pays all the expenses of legislators who serve on the national board.

ALEC reports As of early September, about half of the legislators who had attended the ALEC conference in August had submitted their reports.

The Journal-World requested access to those reports already filed.

Some of the reports were brief — just a couple of sentences — but others were more in-depth, sharing information on policy issues and committee doings at the ALEC meeting.

Knox said that in an energy committee all sides of “green” energy were presented.

“The facts are that it is very limited in the energy it can supply and very dependent upon governmental subsidy.

Conventional energy will be needed for the foreseeable future, most notably natural gas, if coal is not used,” he wrote.

Sen. Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, who serves on the national board of ALEC, wrote, “Many of the subjects the Legislature will address during future sessions are discussed at ALEC.” Merrick is on ALEC’s International Relations Committee, which he said spent time looking at how the European Union is trying to exert greater influence in the United States through giving money to academic institutions and nongovernmental groups.

“Congressional oversight is needed to identify exactly how and where the EU is intervening inside the United States,” he said.

Conference agenda An agenda of the ALEC conference showed that speakers included former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who is now chairman of FreedomWorks; Tucker Carlson, a political analyst; Arthur Laffer, economist and chairman of Laffer Associates; Marvin Odum, president of Shell Oil and director of Upstreams America; John Castellani, president and chief executive of PhRMA; Steve Moore, journalist and editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal; and David Dieter, head of government and public affairs of Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America Inc. Sen. Chris Steineger, RKansas City, attended the ALEC conference, and in his

-"83&/$& t 45"5&

. written report he commented on several of the speakers.

Steineger said that Carlson said Republicans should “shake off the birthers” and “shariah law criers” because they turn off mainstream voters. Steineger also said Armey “gave a rambling, boring ‘speech’ that had little content or takeaway ideas.” He said that Laffer said “Carter gave us Reagan,” and suggested that Obama will give way to a Republican.

In an interview with the Journal-World, Steineger — who was a Democrat until he switched his party affiliation last December — said he was aware of recent news reports of ALEC’s corporate ties, but said he saw little difference between ALEC and other groups that host conferences for legislators, such as the National Council of State Legislatures and the Council of State Governments.

“All have corporate lobbyists hanging around. The Statehouse has corporate lobbyists,” he said. He said ALEC is more free market driven but that all three organizations discuss similar issues.

There are differences, however. NCSL committees

are made up of legislators, while ALEC’s committees are made up of legislators and lobbyists. ALEC produces numerous legislative proposals, or “model legislation,” and NCSL rarely does that.

In addition, NCSL leadership is bipartisan, while most of ALEC’s members are Republican.

The NCSL describes itself as “a bipartisan organization that serves the legislators and staffs of the nation’s 50 states, its commonwealths and territories. NCSL provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues.”

The CSG describes itself as the “nation’s only organization serving all three branches of state government. CSG is a region-based forum that fosters the exchange of insights and ideas to help state officials shape public policy.”

Merrick, who is on ALEC’s national board, said Kansans are well served by those who represent them and attend ALEC events. He wrote, “The information obtained at the meetings is timely.”

Group CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

educational values” while grappling with the “restraints of current and anticipated district resources.”

That group had 25 volunteer members, including two members of the board itself.

Both Rich Minder, then board president, and Scott Morgan served as co-chairmen of the task force.

The board accepted the task force’s research and then implemented its recommendations: close Wakarusa Valley School at the end of the 2010-11 school year and pursue consolidation of two or three of the six identified schools within two to three years.

To help ease the transition to fewer elementary schools, the task force recommended that the district should propose a bond issue to finance upgrades or expansions to remaining elementary schools and to even build new ones, if necessary. Consolidation, however, was to be accomplished with or without a bond issue’s passage.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD fellow board members about the task force’s progress as the process moved closer to completion. Several board members attended meetings at the end of the eight-month study period, as recommendations were being determined by consensus.

This time around, members of the working group want to be sure they know what they’re getting into as work gets going. Among other suggestions and questions offered during last week’s initial working meeting, to be addressed in the coming weeks: ! How, exactly, will the working group reach consensus on issues? Will there be votes? Mark Kalusha — like Epp, a group member from the Cordley community — suggested using “percentage vote consensus” as a way to document levels of support for future group decisions. ! Should the working group commission a poll to gauge public support for a potential bond issue, and to identify issues that could weaken or strengthen such a bond issue’s chances for approval? That’s a suggestion from Dawn Shew, a group member from the Kennedy community who is married to Douglas County Clerk Ja-

mie Shew, the county’s chief elections officer.

“We need to know what (voters) need to know … to be comfortable with a bond,” Shew said, during the group’s meeting last week. “If consolidation is happening with or without a bond, we’d obviously like to do it with a bond.”

The idea of forming a committee to communicate with the school board is scheduled to be discussed during the next meeting of the working group, set for 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Sept. 26 at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

And while Ingram and Diaz Moore intend to attend as many meetings of the working group as possible, they certainly wouldn’t mind having a chance to communicate directly with the group’s membership through a smaller committee.

Those reports would come during regular board meetings, leading up to the meeting in February when board members would be scheduled to accept the working group’s final report.

“They shouldn’t work in isolation from the board,” Diaz Moore said.

Jets safely escort 16 Things NYC, Detroit flights CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

NEW YORK (AP) — Fighter jets escorted two flights — one to New York City, another to Detroit — after passengers’ use of the bathrooms aroused suspicions Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

On a Los Angeles-toNew York American Airlines flight, three passengers made repeated trips to the bathroom, officials said. The three were cleared after the plane landed safely at New York’s Kennedy Airport.

Earlier, on a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight, the crew reported that two people were spending “an extraordinarily long time” in a bathroom, Frontier spokesman Peter Kowalchuck said.

Police detained three passengers at Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport after the plane landed without incident.

They were released after questioning.

In both instances, the FBI said the jets shadowed the planes “out of an abundance of caution.”

New York, in particular, has been in a heightened state of security after federal officials received a credible but uncorroborated tip of a car bomb plot on the 9/11 anniversary in either New York or Washington.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said the plane’s captain never declared a security threat and never asked for law enforcement help. A “security concern” was brought to the airline’s attention, the crew used “normal procedures” to assess the circumstances and the plane landed as planned, Smith said.

“In our eyes, it’s a big nothing,” Smith added.

In fact, Farmer was misdiagnosed for seven years with baffled doctors telling her she had everything from multiple sclerosis to lupus.

At times, she was so devastated by the illness that she couldn’t function. “At my lowest moments, I was in bed, incapacitated, because it hurt so badly. It hurt just to have someone walking on the carpet outside my bedroom,” Farmer said.

Farmer and Logan were finally diagnosed three years ago and started aggressive antibiotic treatment. While she still has bad days, she’s beginning to recover. And she’s using her newfound health to help others who

KC airport detains ex-officer KANSAS CITY, MO. — A former New York City police officer was detained Sunday at Kansas City’s main airport after security screeners detected suspicious items inside his carry-on luggage, a local official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.

The official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to share the details with the media, said the man had worked for NYPD for a short period more than a decade ago.

The man was stopped about 9:30 a.m. at the Southwest Airlines checkpoint at Kansas City International Airport. Transportation security agents who detected suspicious items in his bag asked to examine them, and he was detained when he refused, airline and law enforcement officials said.

The suspicious items tested negative for explosive materials, according to a statement from the Transportation Security Administration. A bomb squad and bomb-sniffing dogs remained on the scene Sunday afternoon, and passengers were being rescreened.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled two F-16 jets to shadow American Airlines Flight 34 until it landed safely at 4:10 p.m., the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. suffer from tick-borne illnesses through a nonprofit group she helped to found, Kansas Lyme Fighters. Her volunteer work has been so transformative in the lives of people who battle Lyme disease that the organization nominated Farmer for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center’s 2010 Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer award.

In addition to helping raise awareness of tick-borne illnesses, Farmer runs support groups and works as an advocate. But mostly, she comes alongside those who are sick and offers them support and encouragement.

“Tammy’s strength is building community,” said Peggy Blumhagen, president of Kansas Lyme Fighters.

“She has opened her home to multiple people who were suffering and created an environment of acceptance, comfort and love. Tammy rarely shares how she feels except when it helps to encourage people who are about to give up on their life. When they

6) Made a move that’s almost as far as one can move between universities in the United States — from Brandeis University in Boston to the University of Hawaii in Honolulu and back.

His wife taught at the same school that President Barack Obama attended.

“It taught me to be less ethnocentric,” he said, as he learned much about both the Asian-American culture as well as the Jewish culture in New York and New England.

7) Helped to create a new kind of history that didn’t exist before called environmental history. While history primarily focused on political decisions, Worster and others created a new focus on the role of energy, the environment and ecology have had on our history.

“Hasn’t the natural world been a powerful influence on society?” he asked. “How could you miss the significance of the soil, the significance of weather and climate and the skies?”

Today, the discipline is taught in most major universities across the nation.

8) Lectured on six continents, and frequently he travels the world to share his expertise. He just returned from Munich, home of a center for environmental history, and will soon travel to China to speak at an environmental history gathering there.

9) Wrote nine books and collaborated on a few more.

The topics range from how the Dust KANSAS UNIVERSITY Bowl affected the southern Plains to biographies of environmental figures John Muir and John Wesley Powell.

10) Wrote a book that was burned by a university class in Oklahoma in 1979. Worster said the professor of the class told him the students burned it on the lawn after the final exam because they didn’t agree with its criticism of the agribusiness industry. The book on the Dust Bowl era, in addition to winning what Worster called a sort of “Yahoo Award” (after the yahoos who burned the book), also received the 1980 Bancroft Prize from

“It was cheeky,” he said of the decision to use the quote.

“It was intemperate. It was not necessary. And it cost me a job.”

12) Lost that job opportunity when a dean at the University of Texas flipped open to the quote in his office and offered some choice words about it. The dean later offered the distinguished professorship to a friend of his, Worster said.

13) Served on the board of The Land Institute, an organization in Salina that works to develop sustainable agriculture.

Farmer shrugs off the praise. “After something so devastating has affected my family’s life, I couldn’t help but help others,” she says. “I was sick for years before it was figured out, and that’s not uncommon at all. It happens to people all the time, and their lives are as devastated as mine was. Or worse.

I had family to support me, but I know a lot of people who don’t.

“When you go through something like this, you narrow down what is important in your life. People are important, and that’s what makes life go around. Making them feel better, even for just a moment.”

15) Received a mention (by name) in a song lyric in some Dust Bowl ballads written by a former student.

He still has the CD. 16) Received recognition as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a group that includes prominent researchers (mostly from elite universities on the coasts, Worster said), prominent historical figures and actors.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD !"LJWorld.com !"Monday, September 12, 2011

EDITORIALS

Sports field folly Rising costs for local high school athletic fields raise some questions about the district’s planning for the new facilities.

S

ince Lawrence High School’s baseball field was built two years ago, fans have been wondering, “So, where’s the restroom?”

One sign points fans to the nearby Johnson County Community College annex, which often was locked on weekends. But most people have walked through the holes in the wooden fence behind the field to visit the restaurants just south of the baseball field.

It’s the same dilemma at Free State High School’s upgraded baseball and softball facilities. If you have to go, take the long walk to the new football stadium facilities, if they are open, or the aquatic center, even farther.

Turns out, this restroom issue — which apparently took Lawrence school officials by surprise — is going to cost the district more than a few extra steps. It’s going to take up to $300,000 to construct restrooms at both schools’ baseball parks. Under city code, if you build stadium seating at athletic facilities, restrooms must be no more than 500 feet away.

Added to the other problems encountered by the school district improving its athletic fields in recent years, it raises real questions about the district’s level of planning for the facilities. Sure, Lawrence public schools now have some of the most impressive sports complexes in the state, something the community can be proud of, but at what cost?

The need for new athletic facilities started with the need to get out of Haskell Stadium, where local high school football teams played for years. Sunflower League schools were complaining about the facility, and Lawrence schools were at risk of being kicked out of the Johnson County-based conference. Complicating matters was the need to have equitable facilities for the two Lawrence high schools. What one had, the other should have as well.

There was almost no public discussion about upgrading the high school fields or perhaps considering other options like a combined sports complex. Instead, district leaders decided both schools would have their own facilities and the cost would be entirely covered by funds remaining from an earlier building bond issue for improving classrooms and other learning facilities. Voters were not asked for permission to build football stadiums, tennis courts, soccer fields or ballparks, but that’s where a significant portion of the money went.

An expensive lawsuit filed by LHS neighbors soon resulted, and, even after it was settled, it continues to haunt the district.

Neighbors, wanting to protect their quality of life and home values in the shadow of a football stadium, expect the settlement to be followed to the letter of the law.

Meanwhile, Free State received the gift of a state-of-the-art football locker room complex and offices. LHS couldn’t be left out; the Lions needed something special, too. So the $400,000 budget for locker rooms at LHS was ultimately increased to $675,000. Yes, $275,000 over budget.

Now, because of an oversight by the district, another $300,000 has to be spent for ballpark restrooms that should have been in the original plans approved before the first shovel moved dirt.

When it comes to athletic facility upgrades, Lawrence public school leaders have yet to learn lessons about planning and fiscal responsibility. It’s time they wised up.

Demoralized nation marks anniversary WASHINGTON — On Dec. 8, 1951, the day after the 10th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, The New York Times’ front page made a oneparagraph mention of commemorations the day before, when the paper’s page had not mentioned the anniversary. The Dec. 8 Washington Post’s front page noted no commemorations the previous day. On Dec. 7, the page had featured a familiar 10-yearold photograph of the burning battleships. It seems to have been published because a new process made possible printing it for the first time in color. At the bottom of the page, a six-paragraph story began: “Greater Washington today will mark the tenth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack by testing its air raid defenses.” The story explained that “the sirens are part of a ‘paper bombing’ of Washington” that would include “mock attacks by atom bombs and high explosives.”

The most interesting question is not how America in 2011 is unlike America in 2001, but how it is unlike it was in 1951. The intensity of today’s focus on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 testifies to more than the multiplication of media ravenous for content, and to more than today’s unhistorical and self-dramatizing tendency to think that eruptions of evil are violations of a natural entitlement to happiness. It also represents the search for refuge from a decade defined by unsatisfactory responses to 9/11.

George Will

“

georgewill@washpost.com

Ten years on from 9/11, national unity, usually a compensation for the rigors of war, has been a casualty of wars of dubious choices.”

In 1951, the war that Pearl Harbor had propelled America into had been over for more than two years longer than it had raged.

And it had been won. Besides, the Dec. 8 Post’s front page reported on negotiations to end a subsequent war, in Korea, then in its 18th month.

The 10th anniversary of 9/11 coincides with concerns about whether, after more than eight years of war, just 3,000 American troops can be left in Iraq without jeopardizing U.S. gains.

Which, whatever they are, have nothing to do with the stated primary reason for the war — eliminating weapons of mass destruction. Ten years after 9/11 lit the fuse that led in 18 months

to the invasion of Iraq, what may now count as success there may depend on Iraq finding its John Adams: When, after losing the bitterly contested 1800 election, he peacefully transferred power to Thomas Jefferson, America’s democracy was well-launched.

As the war in Afghanistan — the most important immediate consequence of 9/11 — enters its second decade, success there, too, is fragile. And it is defined with reference to a nation-building objective not articulated at the outset.

Pearl Harbor clearly began something — U.S. participation in a world war that was already raging — whereas 9/11 was the fifth significant attack by radical Islamists on American targets. It followed those on the USS Cole in 2000, the East African embassies in 1998 and the Khobar Towers in 1996, and the 1993 attempt to topple the World Trade Center with a truck bomb. So what 9/11 actually began was the U.S. reaction, as muscular as it was belated, to the challenge of terrorism.

The depleted armed forces that have been fighting these wars for a nation not conscripted into any notable inconvenience will eventually recuperate. For mostly oblivious civilians, the only recurring and most visible reminder of the post-9/11 world is shoeless participation in the security theater at airports. It thus seems wildly incongruous

that some Americans rushed to proclaim that 9/11 “changed everything.”

The dozen years between the fall of the Berlin Wall and of the Twin Towers featured complacent, self-congratulatory speculation about “the end of history.”

The end, that is, of a grand politics of clashes about fundamental questions of social organization.

By the time 9/11 awakened the nation from such reveries, some Americans seemed to be suffering “1930s envy,” a longing for the vast drama of global conflict with a huge ideological enemy.

Ten years on from 9/11, national unity, usually a compensation for the rigors of war, has been a casualty of wars of dubious choices. Ten years after 1941, and in more recent decades, the nation, having lost 400,000 in the unavoidable war that Pearl Harbor announced, preferred to remember more inspiriting dates, such as D-Day. Today, for reasons having little to do with 9/11 and policy responses to it, the nation is more demoralized than at any time since the late 1970s, when, as now, feelings of impotence, vulnerability and decline were pervasive. Of all the sadness surrounding this anniversary, the most aching is the palpable and futile hope that commemoration can somehow help heal self-inflicted wounds.

The President is due to speak there at the inauguration of the new president. The coming to Lawrence of President Taft, if only for a brief stay, will mean much to Lawrence people. Arrangements have not been made definitely yet as to what can be done, but there is no doubt that the President will know that Lawrence is on the map.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Arts confusion To the editor: I am still confused, as many must be, by the seeming existence of sitting boards for both the dissolved Kansas Arts Commission and the new Kansas Arts Foundation. The current status and activities of both in the support of the arts in Kansas remain confused and unpublicized. Does either really exist in anything other than name? What are these two politically appointed boards doing for the arts in Kansas? Must the public wait in a progress report vacuum? No news is bad news?

The foundation does not yet exist as a working organization. I can find little or no published information other than newspaper listings of “appointed” board members. There is a Facebook page with virtually no content, and there is nothing on the State of Kansas website, no published contact information anywhere. If a real statewide nonprofit arts foundation is to be created, it must not be by governmental appointment, but organized and openly publicized by Kansas artists, arts professionals and arts patrons.

What IS the matter with Kansas, and where is the ongoing public outcry over the defunding of the arts by our state government? Perhaps the next step in Gov. Brownback’s openly religious fundamentalism will be to appoint a proper commissioner of arts and culture at $100K per year to explore “faith-based initiatives in the arts!” Ha! Michael G. Braa, Eudora

Mixed message To the editor: Today I received Dillons’ weekly flier in my newspaper and was pleased to see an advertisement for its participation in the MidKansas Race for the Cure, Sept. 24 in Wichita. I was disappointed to discover, in the same flier, an advertisement for cigarettes!

The plethora of health hazards caused by tobacco products is common knowledge, and I will refrain from reiterating all of those hazards here. It is true that many individuals with breast cancer have never smoked cigarettes, but a quick search of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website

points out, “Women who smoked had an increased risk of invasive breast cancer compared with women who didn’t smoke,” and “Women who are at increased risk of breast cancer may further increase their risk if they smoke.”

The profit made from tobacco products must be bittersweet when it comes at the expense of our loved ones, our friends and neighbors, and possibly the individuals whose family and friends will one day wear pink ribbons and “Walk for the Cure” in honor of them.

Perhaps if Dillons officials are truly interested in supporting this cause, they will begin by halting their advertisements for tobacco products, which are known to contribute to many types of cancer. Better yet, perhaps they will consider eliminating the sale of tobacco products in their stores.

Think of the positive message that would send to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, to those who have battled or watched loved ones battle cancer, and to our community!

Doctor faces hearing over abortion referrals

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — A disciplinary hearing beginning today is expected to scrutinize how one physician arrived at second opinions allowing the late Dr. George Tiller’s clinic to go ahead with late-term abortions for young patients.

Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus faces allegations that she did inadequate mental health examinations before referring patients to Tiller’s clinic in Wichita. A complaint before the State Board of Healing Arts deals with her care for 11 patients, aged 10 to 18, all at least 25 weeks pregnant, who received abortions from July to November 2003.

Tiller was among a few U.S. physicians performing late-term procedures when a man professing strong anti-abortion views shot him to death in May 2009.

Two months before, Tiller had been acquitted on misdemeanor criminal charges that, in relying on Neuhaus for referrals, he wasn’t truly getting the independent second medical opinion state

law required for many abortions past the 22nd week of pregnancy.

Neuhaus, from the small town of Nortonville, about 30 miles north of Lawrence, is a former abortion provider herself who came under medical board scrutiny in the past.

She doesn’t have an active medical practice, but her Kansas license allows her to provide charity care, which she does.

Her attorney, Robert Eye, said he’ll present evidence during the hearing in Topeka showing that Neuhaus was more thorough than many physicians are in examining patients’ mental health issues. He said both sides expect to present testimony from witnesses they’ve designated as experts, examining her actions.

Neuhaus performed abortions in Wichita from 1994 to 2001 at Wichita clinic that competed with Tiller’s and operated her own abortion clinic in Lawrence from 1997 to 2002, citing financial problems as a reason for ending both practices.

Plan B?

tkeegan@ljworld.com

Big 12 might survive The ledges recently packed with schools ready to jump seem to have emptied. Did they step inside to hide behind the curtains while final details get worked out, or have they reconsidered and reached the conclusion that staying put with a few adjustments here and there makes more sense?

My guess is the latter. Oklahoma president David Boren didn’t survive so long in politics without knowing how to broker back-room deals that benefit his constituents. The best guess: Texas A&M leaves, Oklahoma and Texas stay, and Brigham Young University becomes the 10th team.

It will take other Big 12 members agreeing to increase OU’s revenue share, but since doing so gives the rest of the schools a better deal than they could find elsewhere, nothing should prevent that. A couple of other symbolic moves, such as changing the name of the conference and moving headquarters from Dallas to a more central location, such as Oklahoma City, might also go a way toward changing the perception that Texas runs the conference.

In most circles, Boren will get credit for saving the Big 12, but those interested in the fates of Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri would make sure to credit Baylor president Kenneth Starr for leading the legal charge to make Texas A&M pay for leaving, unless everybody else stays. It’s a more worthy cause than the one that made Starr a star, the investigation of the affair between President William Jefferson Clinton and “that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

The addition of independent BYU grows the conference to 10 teams. BYU isn’t Texas A&M, but it’s not cauliflower, either, particularly in the TVratings and appealing-roadtrip departments. Provo’s a beautiful city, and the Cougars usually field competitive teams in football and basketball. Plus, they’re different. They lead the nation in receding hairlines, thanks to so many of their athletes interrupting their careers with two-year Mormon missions.

Staying together makes sense for Big 12 schools’ student-athletes, students and alumni, but it’s always wise to pay 100 times more attention to dollars than sense. More than just increased revenue share could be a factor.

To follow the money trail, it pays to read Clay Travis, a recovering attorney and the backbone of the compelling website outkickthecoverage.com.

In a Sep. 8 blog entry, Travis wrote, “ESPN and FOX aren’t going to reduce the amount they are paying the Big 12 for television rights even if the remaining Big 12 is a shell of its current state.”

Why? Travis wrote that the remaining schools would have a strong legal argument that the networks breached the TV contract by providing the inducement for other schools to leave for other conferences. So, if the five schools not on the Pac-12’s radar stayed put, they not only would get to divide the exit penalties but would be able to continue earning big TV dollars after filling out the conference with so-so schools. Not a good deal for the networks.

Still, KU’s officials quietly will continue to work every angle — a flight to the Big East with Missouri and Kansas State; some sort of merger between remaining Big 12 and ACC schools — just in case the Big 12 dies and the ACC gets poached.

KANSAS CITY QUARTERBACK MATT CASSEL WALKS OFF THE FIELD after an incomplete pass in the second half.

The Chiefs fell to the Bills, 41-7, on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Haley’s ‘Plan’ goes haywire

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley preached about “The Plan” all through training camp, referring to the unusual approach he took after a most unusual offseason.

Rather than hit the ground running like most teams did after the lockout, Haley took a more deliberate pace in practice. He played his starters sparingly in early preseason games, slowly trying to build toward the regular season opener against Buffalo.

Well, “The Plan” sure appeared to flop on Sunday.

Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes, two of them to journeyman tight end Scott Chandler, and the Bills romped to a 41-7 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

It was the most lopsided seasonopening loss in franchise history, and the Chiefs’ worst home defeat since a 45-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35 years ago.

“I’m taking 100 percent responsibility for our team not being ready to go,” Haley said. “You can point the finger right at Todd Haley. I’m taking responsibility.”

CHIEFS RUNNING BACK LE’RON MCCLAIN looks at the scoreboard during the second half.

Not that there wasn’t plenty to go around.

Dexter McCluster fumbled the opening kickoff and the Bills turned it into a touchdown. Jamaal Charles fumbled later in the game to set up a field goal.

Matt Cassel was dropped for a sack after a video review by the officiating crew wiped away a wouldbe touchdown pass to Leonard Pope, and the lost yardage forced Ryan Succop to try a 49-yard field goal that he pushed wide right.

“We didn’t execute today,” Charles said, “and that’s on us.”

Cassel threw for 119 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Charles was held to 56 yards rushing by a defense that ranked last in the NFL in stopping the run in 2010.

The Bills didn’t have much problem stopping it Sunday.

They didn’t have much problem with anything.

Fitzpatrick needed only five plays after McCluster’s fumble to hit Chandler from four yards out for a 7-0 lead, and Buffalo scored Please see CHIEFS, page 4B

The country’s No. 15-ranked basketball player in the Class of 2012 shocked the recruiting world Sunday by orally committing to the University of Houston.

Danuel House, a 6-foot-7, 195-pound senior forward from Hightower High in Missouri City, Texas, chose coach James Dickey’s Cougars over finalists Kansas, Texas, Baylor, Ohio State and Georgetown.

His hometown is located just 15 miles from Houston.

“He (Dickey) made me feel like I was wanted and I was loved,” House told the Fort Bend Sun newspaper. “He told me I could start a new tradition by taking my own leap of faith.”

House made the announcement on the same day as Rivals. com’s No. 47-rated Chicken Knowles, a 6-9 forward from HYCA in Houston, who chose UH over Arkansas, Baylor and Missouri.

House had a huge summer on the AAU circuit. ESPN.com says his “defining moment” came on July 26 when he scored 25 points in leading Texas Pro to a victory over the Georgia Stars at the AAU Super Showcase tournament in Florida.

“One of the aspects that makes House so special is he can play in an up-and-down tempo or execute in the half court,” wrote Paul Biancardi of ESPN.com. “He is a machine in the transition game with his athletic ability, length and body control. He reads his defender and the defense and then attacks, which displays his basketball IQ. He is a big-time scorer who knocks down deep threes, cuts off of screens to score midrange jumpers and has excellent body control to finish at the rim.

He is as skilled of a player as you will find at his size.”

Self visits Arkansas prep KU coach Bill Self had an inhome visit Sunday with Archie Goodwin, a 6-4 senior forward from Sylvan Hills High in Little Rock, Ark. Goodwin, who is ranked No. 12 nationally by Rivals.com, has a final list of KU, Arkansas, UConn, Kentucky and Memphis.

Goodwin — he will visit KU for the Sept. 24 Legends of the Phog alumni game — recently was in the news after listing some reasons schools did not make his final five.

He did so in a blog at Sync Magazine.

KU football loses D-lineman Williams

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JOHN WILLIAMS warms up prior to Saturday’s game against NIU at Memorial Stadium.

Williams suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

Kansas University football coach Turner Gill announced Sunday night that defensive tackle John Williams would miss the remainder of the season because of a torn ACL. Williams, a 6-foot-3, 305-pound junior from Tulsa, Okla., injured his knee during Saturday’s 45-42 victory against Northern Illinois.

The loss deals a serious blow to an already-thin defensive line, which will be without senior and projected starter Pat Dorsey for at least two more weeks.

“That’s not what you want to hear,” Gill said. “He was playing well. But we’ll just have to get the next guy (ready). He’s got an opportunity to come in and make plays for us.”

Who that might be remains to be seen, but one possibility is red-shirt freshman Pat Lewandowski, a defensive end who played D-tackle all spring.

“We’ll consider (what to do) today and tomorrow and probably, by Tuesday, we’ll know what we’re gonna do,” Gill said.

In other injury news, Gill said wide receivers JaCorey Shepherd and Daymond Patterson, as well as linebacker Tunde Bakare, all were questionable

for Saturday’s game at Georgia Tech.

Blocking spectacular It was just a one-yard touchdown run in a game full of fireworks, but it demonstrated everything you needed to know about the KU offense. These guys like to block. Scratch that: They love to block.

Late in the third quarter Saturday night, KU sophomore James Sims scored from a yard out to give the Jayhawks their first lead — 35-28 — since the 7-0 mark. And it never would’ve been possible without a monster Please see FOOTBALL, page 4B

U.S. OPEN

Feisty Serena fizzles as Stosur wins title

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Tennis Writer

NEW YORK — Even before she began berating the chair umpire, things were not going well for Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final.

Her strokes were off-target. Her opponent, Sam Stosur, was playing better than ever. And Williams’ deficit was growing more and more daunting.

So facing a break point at the start of the second set Sunday night, Williams ripped a forehand that she celebrated with her familiar yell of “Come on!” The problem, it turned out, was she screamed as Stosur was

Stosur

Williams

reaching for a backhand, so the point wasn’t finished.

The chair umpire awarded the point to Stosur, setting Williams off on a series of insults directed at the official, a scene far less ugly than — yet reminiscent of — the American’s tirade at the same tournament two years ago.

In the end, Stosur’s power-

ful shots and steadiness allowed her to beat Williams 6-2, 6-3 in a surprisingly lopsided upset for her first Grand Slam title. Stosur left the court as the U.S. Open champion; Williams’ night ended with her facing possible disciplinary action.

A sampling of what Williams said to chair umpire Eva Asderaki: — “You’re out of control.”

— “You’re a hater, and you’re just unattractive inside.”

— “Really, don’t even look at me.”

Asked at her news conference whether she regretted any of her words, the 13-time Grand Slam champion rolled

her eyes and replied: “I don’t even remember what I said.

It was just so intense out there. ... I guess I’ll see it on YouTube.”

She won’t be the only one, for sure.

Stosur probably will prefer to watch footage of some of the points she dominated.

“I’m still kind of speechless. I can’t actually believe I won this tournament,” Stosur said later, the silver U.S. Open trophy sitting a few feet away. “I guess to go out there and play the way I did is obviously just an unbelievable feeling, and you always hope and you want to be able to do that, but to actually do it, is unbelievable.”

The ninth-seeded Stosur became the first Australian woman to win a major championship since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980.

Only 2-9 in tournament finals before beating Williams, Stosur made the U.S. Open the third consecutive Grand Slam tournament with a first-time women’s major champion, after Li Na at the French Open, and Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon.

This was only the 27-yearold Stosur’s third title at any tour-level event, and what a way to do it. She took advantage of Williams’ so-so serving and finished with 12 unforced errors to Williams’ 25.

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. — Freshman Ingrid Vidal’s golden goal in the 98th minute lifted Kansas University to a 1-0 overtime soccer victory against Purdue on Sunday at the Boilermaker Challenge.

It was KU’s first shutout of the season and the Jayhawks’ first overtime win since recording a 1-0 victory versus Missouri State on Sept. 18, 2007.

KU improved to 6-2. Purdue fell to 2-5-1.

Both teams, which were

effort from red-shirt freshman Trent Smiley, a reserve tight end who absolutely dominated his man while paving way for Sims to walk in untouched.

Not only did Smiley seal the edge and knock his man backward, he didn’t stop until both players were three yards into the end zone and the NIU defender was on his back.

“I saw him push the dude, and he just annihilated him,” Sims said with a smile. “My job was to stretch it to the pile-on, and that’s what I did.

He sealed the edge.”

Of Baylor, Goodwin wrote: “Coach Scott Drew is a great guy. I love coach Drew. They were one of the first schools that were recruiting me. But I didn’t like that they were an adidas team, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team. I can look over the adidas thing – I own some adidas stuff. I didn’t like their colors, either. I don’t like green and gold. That’s ugly …. When you got ugly colors like that, you gotta be Nike. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too.

sporting black armbands in tribute to 9/11, went scoreless through 90 minutes of regulation time to force a suddendeath overtime period.

With time expiring, KU sophomore Shannon Renner earned a free kick following a Purdue foul. Renner served the ball up toward the goal, where sophomore Caroline Kastor headed the ball deeper into the box. Vidal beat her defender to the ball and flicked it over the goalkeeper’s head, and it eventually bounced past the goal line.

Vidal’s score was her fifth in the last five games, while

Kastor picked up her fifth assist on the season.

“I thought it was a big-time gut check for us,” Kansas head coach Mark Francis said. “The game Friday (against Dayton) was tough. On the scoreboard, it was our worse loss this season. I challenged the team before the game to see how we would come back after a little bit of adversity on Friday. I thought the first 20 minutes we were a little bit sluggish but after that, in the second half and overtime, I thought we definitely had the better of it.”

Supporting the Jayhawks’ offensive efforts was Kat Li-

ebetrau in goal. The junior made a season-high 11 saves, including eight in the second half. She also made two key stops at point-blank range during overtime as she improved to 3-1 between the posts.

“I thought defensively today, all the girls who played in the back did a great job,” Francis said of the KU defenders. “Kat (Liebetrau) made a couple of key plays for us so that was huge.”

KU will host Florida on Sunday. Match time is 1 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

“I think everyone did a great job,” said freshman tailback Darrian Miller, who finished with 57 yards and a TD on 10 carries. “Chris Omigie is a great downfield blocker.

D.J. (Beshears) is one of the better guys, Kale (Pick) has really good technique down the field, Tim Biere is great down the field. Whenever we get through the line, they’re helping us get to the second level, and we really need that.”

Sims, who topped the 100yard mark (110 yards on 26 carries) for the fifth time in 13 career games, said the O-line set the tone early Saturday.

“The offensive line told me at the beginning of the game that they were gonna get the knockdowns and just to follow them,” he said. “That’s what I did.”

Of course, KU’s super sophomore made sure to point out that the real tone was set in training camp.

“We started this at the beginning of the week,” Sims said of the emphasis on physical blocking. “We try to go 80-for-80 on knockdowns, and we were over that tonight.”

Evin Demirel of Sync Magazine has stood up for Goodwin, basically telling the world to lighten up after reading the outgoing high school senior’s comments.

It obviously was not Kansas City’s day.

online for public consumption. ... People who take the time to read these diaries, or listen to other Goodwin interviews online, will quickly realize he’s a personable, intelligent teenager. But he’s a teenager. In the spring, he was watching “SpongeBob“ and “Fairly Odd Parents.”

He likes to goof around. And yeah, he likes some colors and shoe styles over others.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, even those spewing ill-informed garbage all over major outlets’ comment sections. It’s a lot easier, after all, to form opinions without first going through the trouble of getting correct context and proper background information.

Daughter’s friend has drug, alcohol problem Before I married my wife, we had a rich, active sex life.

As soon as we said “I do,” it fell into a drought. I considered all the possibilities you mentioned, but after more than two decades and three children, my wife admitted what I had suspected all along: She didn’t love me and never had. Three or four times a year, she permitted intimacy and thought that was a great sacrifice on her part, as well as a generous anniesmailbox@comcast.net fulfillment of her conjugal Once she sees that Daddy’s “obligation.” rules are not much different I stayed in the marriage from Mom’s, she may return for the sake of our children, home. If not, at least you know she is in a safe environment. Her friend’s parents also should be aware of what their child is doing, whether they believe you or not. You can’t do much about your missing payments unless the agreement was in writing.

But shame on them for taking advantage of your generosity.

Dear Annie: “Sexually Frustrated” said his 30-yearold wife wasn’t interested in sex. You listed any number of reasons and said he should get some counseling for himself. But suppose the problem is neither temporary exhaustion nor medical difficulty.

For those who would never look for satisfaction outside the marriage, the best answer might be divorce.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

CW previews fall season The new television season approaches on its little cat feet. “The CW 2011 Fall Preview Special” (8:15 p.m.) anticipates that network’s handful of new series, including “Ringer,” starring “Buffy” herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, beginning Tuesday night.

But first, the CW presents the musicfashion hybrid “Gaga by Gaultier” (7 p.m.), documenting an encounter between the over-the-top performer and designer Jean Paul Gaultier.

Like many performers, Lady Gaga is known more for her look than for her music or her voice. Her fans appear to like her elaborate stage shows and her habit of wearing the unexpected and outrageous, most notably, a dress made of meat. It should be interesting (to somebody) what Gaultier makes of her cold-cuts couture.

NBC bridges the gap between Sunday NFL kickoff and the final stages of “America’s Got Talent” with the old standby, “Miss Universe” (8 p.m.). “Today” regular Natalie Morales and Bravo’s Andy Cohen host the proceedings from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Interviews have been popular of late. National Geographic’s 9/11 interview with President George W. Bush and “Dateline’s” conversation with Vice President Dick Cheney attracted large audiences for the respective networks.

Tonight, National Geographic presents “Kissinger” (7 p.m.), a conversation with Henry Kissinger, 88, the former national security adviser and secretary of state.

Filled with a rich trove of period footage, this British production reminds us of how recent events can often seem like ancient history. Appreciating Kissinger’s dramatic policy moves, including the Nixon administration’s handling of the Vietnam War, negotiations with China and the U.S.S.R., requires a thorough understanding of Cold War geopolitics, now more than two decades behind us.

Kissinger makes no apologies for actions that some have labeled war crimes, including the bombing of civilians in Indochina and the violent overthrow of the Chilean government on Sept. 11, 1973.

This is a very long interview culled from more than 25 hours of conversation.

It would have been interesting to ask Kissinger about his years since leaving the State Department. While he makes much of his antiwar critics on the left, he never mentions that the Reagan wing of the Republican Party essentially ended his career as a statesman.

The emerging conservative movement that propelled Reagan campaigns in 1976 and 1980 considered Kissinger’s foreign policy both cynical and defeatist. It says something about Kissinger’s place in history that he came to be reviled and distrusted by both the left and the right.

Tonight’s other highlights

Gosh, I’ve gone another season without watching “Bachelor Pad” (7 p.m., ABC)!

A winner emerges on “Design Star” (8 p.m., HGTV).

Alessandra Torresani guest-stars on “Warehouse 13” (8 p.m., Syfy).

A judge mulls the charges against Brenda on “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT).

Senior seethes on “American Chopper” (8 p.m., Discovery).

“Alphas” (9 p.m., Syfy) has been renewed for a second season.

Actor Ian Holm is 80.

Actor Joe Pantoliano is 60. Actor Peter Scolari is 56. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is 55. Actress Rachel Ward is 54. Actress Amy Yasbeck is 49.

DON’T SPOIL YOUR DINNER By Ellsworth Parks

9/12

but looking back, I believe we all would have been better served by divorce. Sexual satisfaction is not the most important thing in marriage, but the kind of relationship that sex can express is. Now I am old and rue the wasted years and the fundamental happiness I never experienced. — Wise Too Late

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Sept. 12: New beginnings become possible this year. You often go back and forth in your mind about what you should do as opposed to what you want to do. If you are single, many people express interest in you. If you are attached, misunderstandings happen out of the blue. Learn to confirm what you hear. Pisces can be challenging, but you have similar core issues.

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) Different aspects of your life vie for control.

Meetings remain instrumental, though you might need time to get some work done. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Allow yourself to listen to associates. Meetings provide information and could demonstrate the difference in how others view situations. Tonight: Until the wee hours.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Demands seem to appear left and right. You will need to talk to a higher-up in order to confirm his or her priorities, which you probably need to make your own. Tonight: Burning

Dear Annie: I have been a single mother for 20 years.

Four months ago, I was talked into letting one of my daughter’s friends stay with us while her parents searched for a new home in another state. They agreed to pay me a monthly stipend for their daughter’s expenses. This has not happened. I received one check, and that was it.

This girl’s father makes plenty of money, and I am barely getting by.

I also discovered that the girl has a significant drug and alcohol problem, and it is influencing my daughter. Sad to say, I believe my child is following this girl down the same path. When my daughter decided my house rules were too strict, she packed her things, and she and her friend went to live with my ex-husband.

I don’t believe my house rules are out of line. I told her no drugs, no alcohol, no profanity, and she has to keep her room clean. Of course, she has not told her father the real picture. She painted me as some kind of ogre. Should I have handled this differently? — Indiana Dear Indiana: Your exhusband needs to know that your daughter’s friend is drinking and doing drugs, and that your daughter may be experimenting, as well.

Jersey scraps crafted into homemade coasters

I

’ll admit it: I’m one of those people who slips coasters under people’s drinks when they set them down at my house.

I’ve been known to do it at other people’s homes, too. Given my affinity for protecting wood surfaces, it was not hard to come up with a coaster pattern that used items from my fabric stash. This project is extremely easy and quick. It would make a great housewarming or hostess gift.

I used jersey, which won’t fray, so the edges don’t need to be finished. I used a scrap of patterned fabric and an old Tshirt. Felted wool would also work well and would need fewer layers.

SUPPLIES: ! Jersey scraps !"Compass or something circular !"Marking tool !"Scissors !"Sewing machine !"Thread !"Darning plate (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Using a compass or something circular, trace out circles of about 4 inches in diameter on jersey. I used five circles per coaster, with a patterned piece on top and plain pieces as the other layers. Cut out as many circles as you’ll need.

2. Stack the circles five layers high. Take each one to the sewing machine and stitch it together. You can stitch around the edge, in a spiral, straight lines across — whatever will keep the layers together. It may help at this point to drop the feed dogs or use a darning plate, if you have either of

785.856.0820

7th & Locust, N. Lawrence • Wed.-Sat. 11- 6pm

those options. The feed dogs keep fabric going through the machine in a straight line; if you want to go in a circle, you’ll need to go slowly or override them. Overriding the feed dogs by dropping them or using the darning plate allows you to more easily control the direction of the fabric. I didn’t have either option, so it was hard to do a spiral, but there are plenty of other designs I can do. If your machine has fancy stitches, this would be a good project to showcase them.

Once you’ve finished your coasters, why not pour yourself a drink? You have something to set it on.

THE CUTTING EDGE

{ Longtime barber bonds with customers L arry A. Franklin Sr. is a close shave expert.

He’s been giving them for more than 40 years.

He owns one of Mass Street’s five barbershops and still provides the old-fashioned service of a shave with the straight razor, lather and hot towels.

Born in Iola, Franklin grew up in Independence and Junction City with his three siblings, and enjoyed fishing, fooling around with friends and swimming.

He served in the Navy from 1965 to 1969 before attending barber school in Hutchinson.

“As a kid I loved going to barber shops with my dad and liked the way barbers interacted with customers,” he says. “They seemed to be respected by almost everyone in the community. When one of them suggested barber school, I decided to give it a go. We studied the body’s nine systems, learned to shave with a straight razor, cut, trim, shampoo, color, perm and straighten hair. We had over 1,500 hours of classroom study and practiced on customers brave enough to give us a try.”

Franklin pats his thinning hair and admits he once sported a perm himself.

“In the late ’60s and early ’70s big hair was fashionable for men, and permanents were popular,” he says with a laugh.

Franklin worked at different barber shops around Kansas, married his wife, Kathryn, in 1982, and opened his first shop in Plaza 21, Topeka, in 1987.

“It was a challenging time and place to open a barber shop,” he says.

Franklin eventually closed the shop and moved to Lawrence.

“Kathryn is from Tonganoxie and her family still lives there, and I’m an avid KU sports fan, so when we got an opportunity to move here we jumped at it,” he says. “We love Lawrence.”

He worked with Tom and Mike Amyx for six years, bought Southbank Barber shop, 924 Mass., in 1994, and renamed it ‘Larry’s.’

“I enjoy working for myself and being my own boss,” Franklin says. “Of course I have many bosses because the customers are in charge and tell me exactly what they want.”

His son Larry Jr. (LJ) became a barber in 1991 and has worked alongside him for the past 15 years.

After 41 years, Franklin remains animated about his job.

LARRY FRANKLIN SR., owner of Larry’s Barber Shop, 924 Mass., has been providing barber services for more than 40 years in town and is the only one who still provides the old-fashioned service of a shave with the straight razor, lather and hot towels.

“Barbering is a great but vanishing profession. It’s allowed me, a happy people-loving person, to contribute to people’s well-being.”

— LARRY A. FRANKLIN SR. “Barbering is a great but vanishing profession. It’s allowed me, a happy people-loving person, to contribute to people’s well-being,” he says.

“A fresh haircut and a real close shave can help people feel so much better and puts a smile on their face. I love interacting with and working on customers, and I get to meet people from all over the world.”

He derives particular satisfaction when customers, who first visited his shop as youngsters with their fathers, now bring in their own sons for haircuts.

“In barbering you get the privilege of sharing moments in people’s lives that shape them — births, deaths, marriages, divorces, moves and going off to serve our country,” he says.

“I’ve cried and laughed with customers and feel honored they chose to share these things with me.”

Holding off on the honeymoon Couples cite economy, time crunch on delaying wedding trip

BY SARAH HENNING

Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo

BILL PARROTT and Becca McGowan plan to get married next November, but they will hold off on going on a honeymoon for the near future. They want to finish college first, and they hope to take their honeymoon in Australia in 2012.

heir relationship reads like a romantic comedy script.

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl become instant friends. Boy and girl can’t be more because girl is hitched. Girl moves away.

Boy stays in touch.

Fast-forward 14 years: Boy and girl, both single, meet up for dinner. Boy and girl fall in love.

Fast-forward six months: Boy and girl elope.

They rush down the aisle and off to some sandy beach somewhere for the ultimate honeymoon and happy ever after, right?

Not in this case.

Boy and girl, now Kevin and Rachel Wohler, waited four more months to take their dream honeymoon at Disneyland.

And they’re certainly not alone in delaying their happily ever after.

Whether it’s the economy, scheduling issues or simply personal preference, couples are making a trend out of holding off on their honeymoons. Pastor Paul Gray of New Life in Christ Church, 619 Vt., says a good deal of the couples he marries are doing exactly as he did in 1969 — going on a delayed honeymoon.

“Maybe half the people that I marry don’t get to go on their vacation right away,” says Gray, who was married on a Saturday, traveled the length of Missouri on Sunday and started a new job Monday. “I would guess the economy probably does have something to do with it.”

Bill Parrott and Becca McGowan are getting married in November 2012 but won’t honeymoon until ... well, they don’t know when. They just know why.

“The biggest reason is that we will both be finishing our last year of school and don’t want to deal with taking more time off than we already will for the wedding,”

Kansas University student Parrott says.

“On top of that, we want to be able to save for and plan the honeymoon like a vacation rather than being ‘yet another thing’ that we have to plan leading up to the wedding.”

Instead, what they do know is they plan to take a few days the following week — KU’s Thanksgiving break — to relax at home and enjoy the fact that they’re finally married after what will be a three-year engagement.

“We still plan on having a mini-honeymoon over a couple days that’s just for us so we can enjoy and celebrate having just gotten married,” McGowan says. “And with our engagement having been so long, it will have been a long-awaited happy day to call each other husband and wife.”

Parrott says he imagines they’ll get the time and place for their honeymoon nailed down eventually, though with their lives as students factored in, there’s a good chance the timing will be as limited as their wedding was for long school breaks.

“We’re hoping to take our honeymoon in Australia, so we really want to go sometime in December or January following the wedding,” Parrott says. “That way we get good weather while we’re there. Otherwise, we will probably have it the summer

of 2013.”

The Wohlers didn’t have school or the economy to make them wait, just life in general. They met while working for the Disney Catalog in 1991. A couple of “true believers,” they instantly bonded over their love of the mouse. So, it’s only fitting that the previous reservations they’d made to attend the 50th anniversary of Disneyland — July 17, 2005 — would become their eventual honeymoon after marrying in April of that year in Lake Tahoe, Nev. Rachel Wohler says the wait was tough, but it was worth it because she and her prince had a happy ending perfect for them.

“I grew up going to Disneyland all the time. In a lot of ways, it’s home to me,” Rachel Wohler says. “One of the first things I always did growing up was stop at Snow White’s Wishing Well in front of the castle to drop coins into it and make wishes. Going there on my honeymoon with Kevin was very emotional. I had the person I always wished for as a little girl.

So, I dropped a whole bagful of coins into the wishing well in the hope that the next people to come along would get their wishes, too.”

Ashlyn Norwood, 9, a fourth-grader at Deerfield School, braved her first sleepaway camp this summer. Ashlyn, the daughter of Mike and Cheryl Webb and the late Seth Norwood, traveled on a bus to Warsaw, Mo., to attend Camp Oakledge Girl Scout camp on the Lake of the Ozarks.

Adrienne Paranjothi: “What interested you in attending Girl Scout camp away from Lawrence?”

Ashlyn Norwood: “Wanted to get away from my sister!”

AP: “Did any of your Girl Scout troop friends attend with you?”

AN: “My friend Ella. Ella was in the same cabin.”

AP: “What were a few of your favorite activities and adventures at camp?”

AN: “Canoeing, going to the lookout point to look out over the water and see the boats, singing songs, making taco salad over a campfire, collecting flowers and pine cones to decorate the dinner table, and making crafts on Echo Rock.”

AP: “What was one of your most difficult moments being away at a camp?”

AN: “Killing spiders in our cabin!”

AP: “How did the camp counselors or your cabin mates help you if you experienced sadness being away from home?”

AN: “We would say in the cabin ‘We will be home sooner than we think.’ “ AP: “What was your proudest moment while you were at Camp Oakledge?”

AN: “Making my first lanyard friendship bracelet.” (See instructions at LJWorld. com.)

Olivia Wallen, a 10-year-old fifth-grader at St. John’s Catholic School, entered cupcakes for the first time at the Douglas County Fair. Olivia received a second place red ribbon for her Teddy Bear Cupcakes. Olivia is the daughter of Lawrence residents Paul and Jana Wallen.

Adrienne Paranjothi: “Olivia, do you remember the first food item you made on your own?”

OW: “Cheese pizza! The crust was bought. I put the toppings on and baked

myself.”

AP: “Which do you prefer, cooking or baking?”

OW: “Hmmm that’s hard. I like cooking because you know it’s going to be good but with baking you know it’s going to be really sweet and never sour.”

AP: “What made you decide to enter cupcakes into the Douglas County Fair?”

OW: “I went to the Vineland Fair the year before, saw cakes and thought it might be fun to try out.”

AP:: “How did you decide what to enter?”

OW: “Looked through some cookbooks and liked the picture of Teddy Bear’s Picnic Cupcakes.”

AP: “How many ‘practice’ cupcakes did you make before choosing the final product to enter and when did know which cupcakes would be the best for you to show the judges?”

OW: “I practiced the “Bears” a few times.

My mom gave me her opinion as well. I turned in the cupcakes that I really liked for the final product.”

AP: “Explain the process and outcome of having your first food entry judged.”

OW: “The rule for the fair is everything must be done on your own. I turned in three cupcakes. The judge eats one and the other two are sold at the fair bake sale.

I like decorating with fondant icing but it would have been hard to roll without my mom’s help and it doesn’t taste very good.

The judges said they liked the theme of the cupcakes but the frosting was a little overpowering. There was probably too much vanilla.” (See the recipe at LJWorld. com.)

AP: “What tips would you give other kids interested in entering projects at the Douglas County Fair, for the first time?”

OW: “Before you start always look through all the possibilities and practice

Matt Leibold, a 16 year Free State High student dove into his first summer job as a lifeguard at a community pool in Lake Viking, Mo. is the son of Lawrence residents Terry and Mandy Leibold.

Adrienne Paranjothi: “Matt, what interested you applying for a lifeguard job for the summer?”

Matt Leibold: “I had the job even before having the lifeguard training and CPR class finished. Friends of the family run the pool so getting the job was pretty easy. I still had to fill out an application and tax forms. My parents helped me with getting a copy of my birth certificate.”

AP: “Describe your first day on the job.”

ML: “Started on a Saturday about 1PM. Went through the whole process of cleaning pool, filling up child area and checking people in and from then on it was a long and cold day. It (my first day) was sometime in mid-May with the temperature between 60 and 70 degrees. We still had to open for the 4 to 5 people who wanted to swim.”

AP: “Did you ever need to put your lifeguard training or CPR skills to use?”

ML: “Yes, I did use my first aid skills. A gentlemen working outside the pool cut his hand so I cleaned and bandaged him

AP: “Describe one of your favorite work experiences from this summer?”

ML: “Interesting you should ask…in July I started cleaning the pool early. Went to take trash out to the cans and thought it was odd the lid was off. Went ahead and looked in the can and two huge eyes of a baby raccoon were starring back at me.

It was adorable! Calmly walked back to my supervisor and said “Excuse me but I don’t know the proper protocol for finding a raccoon in the trash can.”

AP: “What advice would you give to other teens seeking a job?”

ML: “Be happy with your job or find one. Be a positive person. Spend some of your money on your friends. Money is constantly circulating and friends are only around for so long.”

Best workout buddies New motivators can recharge your routine

BY MARGIE CARR

H

oping to start an exercise routine?

Or maybe yo√u need a little motivation or a way to spice up an existing regimen. One area trainer has discovered a most unusual way to motivate the clients at his gym: Maximus, a 6-yearold pit pull terrier, and Nala, a black Labrador mix. Those who venture into the North Lawrence club will find them at their places: Maximus, at his perch in the front window, welcoming all who enter, and Nala, typically in the back of the gym lying quietly under a weight machine, “motivating anyone to smile and squeeze out a few more reps,” says her profile on the club’s website.

“They’re like the yin and the yang,” says First Level Fitness owner Chad Richardson, who has watched his clients interact with the dogs since Maximus was a puppy. “Personality-wise, they are complete opposites: Maximus, always looking out, wanting to protect, and Nala, the people pleaser.”

Over the years, Richardson has seen the value of having his unorthodox trainers.

“They help a lot of people get over the fact that working out can really suck sometimes!” he says. “I want to associate positive things with the act of working out, to link up good things with their practice.

There is a natural, chemical reaction in the brain that makes people feel better when they are petting an animal. Endorphins are released.”

Next Level Client Cris Bryan appreciates the dogs’ presence. “They are good comic relief sometimes, helping me not to take everything so seriously,” she says.

MAXIMUS, an American pit bull, gives a little humor off for client Jen Nickels and trainer Matt Scanlon during an early-morning workout session. Chad Richardson, owner of Next Level Rising, 644 Locust St., uses dogs to encourage clients.

“They’re also a good excuse for a break, especially if I need to stop for a while to think about the next hard thing I have to do — I just stop and pet them, and it helps to keep me going.”

While Maximus and Nala draw people to Richardson’s gym, others in Lawrence use their workout time to escape from dogs ... and hamsters ... and kids ... and all of the tasks associated with running a household and holding down a job. Near-

ly two dozen women from west Lawrence meet to run and do calisthenics four times a week.

“We run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,” says one of the participants, Dana King. “And then on Fridays we meet at Free State for our ‘Boot-ie’ Camp.”

The workouts start early — 5:30 or 5:45 a.m., and the women run anywhere from four to 10 miles a day.

“I am back home before anyone else is

up,” says King, the mother of three sons: Parker, 12; Spencer, 10; and Joshua, 7.

“They don’t even know I’m gone.”

King has been working out with the group for about five years. “I used to walk with a friend when I started having babies, then another friend invited me to her workouts,” she says.

The women really came together as a group when one of the participants suggested that they train for a 10k in Kansas

What do you do to keep workouts fun?

WOMEN in the “Boot-ie Camp,” an early-morning workout group, run stadium bleachers at Free State High School. Running down the stadium bleachers, visible from background left to right, are Michelle Pester, Dana King, Colleen Degrassi, Jean Anderson, Regan Dodd, Amanda Storm and Kristine Burrichter.

City. Since then, King has done four half-marathons.

“I don’t run very fast in them,” she says. “But I do make it over the finish line!”

While the group started out as a way for the participants to stay fit, it has accomplished much more. “The social part of the group is huge,” King says. “We encourage each other. Oftentimes I don’t want to do it, but they keep me going.”

“It’s mental therapy as much as it is a physical workout,” says Michelle Pester, who has also been with the group for years. “It’s nice to talk about the struggles as a mom and all of the other challenges of life.”

Group members also encourage one another to achieve their individual fitness goals.

“We hold each other accountable,” Pester says. “I know that tomorrow morning at 5:30 Sherry [another

runner] is going to be there. It sure helps when that alarm goes off! I expect her to be there at 5:30, and she expects me.”

Pester started her workout routine with specific goals.

“When I turned 35, my goal was to run 30 minutes on a treadmill.

When I turned 40, my goal was to run a marathon, and I ran two! Plus a handful of halves!” says Pester, now 42.

Pester helps keep the group coordinated, sending emails on workout times and locations.

“I used to think, ‘Who are those crazy women getting up so early?’”

Pester says. “And now I’m one of those crazy nuts. I’ve gotten to the point with my workouts that I feel guilty if I don’t exercise.”

But if you’re not ready to join a gym and face the bark of a trainer like Maximus, and if you have more

modest fitness goals than preparing for marathons, maybe Walktober is for you.

Walktober is a national walking program in which participants are given the goal to walk at least 2 1/2 hours a week during the month of October. People sign up on their own or with a team.

“We are hoping that by participating in Walktober, people will have a reason to get outside and get moving,” says Janelle Martin, director of Douglas County Health Improvement Partnership, co-sponsor of Walktober with Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“If you’re like most people, sometimes it’s really difficult to get started,” she says. “But once you have made yourself get out there you tend to feel better, you’re breathing fresh air, and you’re happy you committed to the workout.”

Today’s teens expected to drink or stay home Double TAKE Miranda: If one teen makes the choice to illegally drink, it’s one too many. Alcohol is a depressant and can make you do things you normally wouldn’t, especially if you’re not used to its effects.

Underage drinking causes stress with parents, health problems down the road and trouble with the law. For many teens who don’t drink, their friends still do. While you shouldn’t alienate every friend who has ever been to a party, I offer a word of caution in choosing to hang out with anyone who negatively affects your life.

Look for friends who are similar in nature and align with your character, values and morals. It’s no secret that teenagers want to be accepted by their peers, but don’t let that get you in to a situation that you will regret.

While your friends’ parents may not care that they drink, your parents could (and should) feel very different about it.

At the end of the day, you don’t live your friends’ lives, and you’re the only person who has to live with the consequences of your actions. Those Facebook pictures of you holding a beer may come back to haunt you some day.

If you choose not to drink, don’t feel like you have to stand up and make an ordeal out of the situation. A simple excuse like a sports practice the next day, “nosey parents” or having to get up early for work are all ways you can counter the pressure without coming off as preachy. Your friends will continue to make the choices they do, and all you can do is live your life the way you think you should.

WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS Wes: In my early days as a family psychologist I used to preach against peer pressure. It just sounded like a convenient excuse to blame someone else for your choices. The research even backed me up, as most studies found that kids tended to make their own decisions on drug and alcohol use, even if their parents preferred to think someone else was calling the shots. And by the way, that same research said parent use-patterns predicted teen use-patterns far better than peer pressure.

As with everything else, I find that times have changed. In the last five to seven years I’ve detected a real shift in how much the nonsubstance-using crowd feels ostracized by the smokers and drinkers. I’ve heard a hundred versions of “my best friend says

this is the year she’s gonna smoke me up” or “nobody’s inviting me to parties anymore because I don’t drink.” We used to call that kind sober person the designated driver, and he or she had driven everyone’s car in town by graduation. But there seems to be less respect for that job these days, and everyone is expected to join in or stay home.

I find this frustrating well beyond the issue of whether teens abuse substances or not. They have forever, still do and probably will continue to do so. But this kind of intolerance goes directly to the issue of free will. Drinking and smoking are decisions everyone gets to make for him or herself. Nobody else should have any vested interest in that choice at all. To render judgment upon friends just because they choose to abstain, or worse, to condemn them for it, is about as far opposite of genuine friendship as anything I can imagine.

Nobody would put up with an abstainer going around a party with a long sermon on the evils of alcohol. The same should hold true for those who would prefer to enjoy their friends and social time without feeling obliged to join in.

The Zen thing to do

A

friend called the other night. A mutual friend had collapsed, the people with him didn’t quite know what to do, could we go over?

So we did. And as we were trying to figure out whether to call 911, somebody turned to us and asked: What is the Zen thing to do?

Someone asked the Dalai Lama once what the point of Buddhism was, and he said, “Be kind.” Someone asked Jesus what his teaching was and he said, “Do unto others what you would want them to do unto you.” Someone asked Hillel to give the central teaching of the Torah while standing on one foot, and he said, “Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you.”

That’s really it, people. As Hillel added, “All the rest is commentary.”

But then there’s the question: How do you know what to do? Good question. Our minds are seldom clear, and we are very good at making them even blurrier. That’s why we want someone or some ideology or some belief system to tell us what to do.

But this is only another way to make our minds blurry, like putting on somebody else’s glasses. We go for the doctrine, and not for the practice, because it’s a lot easier

to repeat what somebody else says than to see what’s actually in front of us. It’s a lot easier to see the thing we think we’re supposed to see instead of the thing that’s actually there.

We go for the doctrine, when the thing that really can help us is sincere and deep spiritual practice. This means a practice that takes us inward and outward at the same time, that goes far deeper than any ideas or understandings or any notion of us and them, a practice that helps us recognize our delusions and not be controlled by them. A practice that we actually do, instead of thinking about doing it. And a practice that we do matter-of-factly, without thinking it’s special Because another aspect of “the Zen (or [insert name of any religion here]) thing to do” is the idea that this is somehow extraordinary and precious, as opposed to the ordinary stuff that we do every day. If we think that way we are so busy looking for the special stuff that we can’t see the stuff around us. Which is, in fact, what is most precious.

So we went into our friend’s bedroom and talked to him for a while. There were reasons for concern, and yes we did call 911. While we were waiting for the para-

But along with adjusting your wardrobe for fall, also adjust your fall beauty routine. Try out some new products and trends for fresh, fall beauty.

are very enticing. Lash-enhancing products, like L’Oreal Lash Boosting Serum, promise to lengthen and strengthen your lashes, and updated eyeliner products, like StimulashFusion Lash Enhancing Liquid Eyeliner, is meant to improve your eyelash appearance while adding that sultry, smoky look of your regular eyeliner.

EYE SHADOW: Since we are no longer bogged down by the heat and humidity of summer, we can once again explore new beauty products without instantly sweating them off. Try smokier hues and gemtone eyeshadows.

And this fall, especially, say bye-bye to wimpy little eyebrows. Sculpt a strong eyebrow shape and add definition with a few light strokes from your eyebrow pencil. Check out one of my favorite shadow palettes, YSL 5 Colour Harmony in Riviera.

PERFUME: During the summer, people are drawn toward lighter scents — citrusy, clean perfumes. Pick out a new scent for fall that is heavier — but not overpowering. I like scents that include spicy notes, like black pepper, woody-musk, bergamot and jasmine. Take a whiff of scents like Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari or L’Essence

by Balenciaga.

NAIL POLISH: Just as clothing colors switch from punchy and bright to a bit more neuEYELASHES: tral or bold, nail polish color trends Although I haven’t jumped on the also change with the season. Paint lash-extension/lash-enhancement your nails with polishes that are deep train just yet, a few new fall products blue, rich and plum, or unusual tan/

MAKEUP TRENDS: Many of my favorite fall makeJASMINE NOIR BY BVLGARI STIMULASH up palettes are inspired right from the pages of September issues. Flip through the pages of Glamour, Marie Claire, Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar, and study the designer ad campaigns.

And one model in Louis Vuitton’s fall ad campaign has subtle, pink lips, interesting black liner on the outer corner of her top and bottom lids, and thin black liner, tracing the shape of her eye from the inner corner upward toward her brow.

Rookies not quite ready for ‘Rudy’

We

had just left Wakeeney en route to Lawrence on day 10 of our Yellowstone journey. With 260 miles to go, our iPods exhausted, and the M&M’s mysteriously missing from the trail mix, morale was low.

It was time for “Rudy.”

“Not a sports movie!” our oldest teen protested, unaware of how little impact her opinion has on our decisions.

“I want a cartoon,” Luke whined. I told Luke that, as a rookie football player this fall, a movie about one of the most inspirational players at one of the most legendary programs might give him the mental edge he needs to compete with the other, more experienced (and, I would find out later, much larger) fifth-graders on the field.

We popped in “Rudy” and headed east.

Tired of fighting over the XM radio, my husband and I opted to listen to the movie through the Flint Hills.

But after 30 minutes of watching Rudy get beaten both physically and emotionally by teammates and teachers, lose his best friend and face a life sentence in a steel mill, my kids were bored.

I explained the structure of movies not involving a sponge in a pineapple under the sea. “Rudy is a little guy with a big heart,” I said with reverence, “who has been bullied by everyone, and now he’s going to try to live his dream and play football for Notre Dame.”

Blank stares.

“It moves faster from here,” I sighed.

We rolled along listening to Rudy apply over and over to Notre Dame, befriend a groundskeeper, deliver Knute Rockne’s famous speech to an empty locker room and get his rump kicked daily on the practice squad.

Unfortunately our players were a little too heavy on the “fight, fight, fight” as we

buzzed past Abilene, prompting Coach Dunlap to deliver a pep talk of his own.

“We are NOT stopping until this movie is over and you have all liked it!” he was serious. “Pay attention or we’ll watch it again all the way home!”

We passed Fort Riley just as Rudy’s teammates selflessly persuaded Coach Devine to dress Rudy for the final game.

My husband and I had chills as glimmers of “The Irish Washer Woman,” weaved brilliantly into Jerry Goldsmith’s lump-inducing score, flooded our ears, our minivan speakers chanting, “Ru-dy! Ru-dy!”

We pulled into Junction City with tears streaming down our cheeks, exiting the highway as Rudy was carried off the field.

Red-eyed, my husband turned to the back of the car. “What did you learn from the movie?” he asked.

No one spoke. Fearful that the wrong answer would land them back on 70 without a pit stop, they sat uncharacteristically silent until Luke finally cleared his throat.

“That football is fun?” he squeaked.

And the stage is set for Luke’s rookie season. He might not have Rudy’s heart or determination or even a clue about perseverance, but if the cornerback is willing to pummel him every week, then he is in for a load of fun.

Late fall best time to install bat house

B

ats can eat more than 1,000 insects per hour and will consume 50 to 100 percent of their weight each night eating various bugs such as gnats, crickets, moths, mosquitoes, locusts and flies. Bats often live for more than 30 years, so installing a bat house can be a great long-term method of insect control.

Several Internet sites offer free instructions for building a bat house, or you can pick up a ready-made house from your local hardware store or garden center. Before choosing a house, decide how and where to mount it, as some locations may determine the size and style of the house.

Step 1: Install the bat house in late fall or early winter to assure the home is ready when bats return in the spring.

Step 2: If the bat house is being installed to provide housing for bats destined to be evicted from a home or chimney, install the bat house 2-6 weeks prior to removing the bats from their current residence.

Step 3: Mount the bat house 12 to 25 feet above the ground. Mounting the house under the eaves of a two-story home or atop a singular pole works well.

Step 4: Choose a sunny location to mount the house. Typically, a southern exposure is recommended. Bat houses need 6-8 hours of sunlight to stay warm. Consider painting the outside of the house a dark color to encourage heat absorption.

Step 5: Keep bat houses at least 20 inches from branches, structures and other areas where predators, such as hawks and owls, can perch. If the house is mounted in a tree, bats often have difficulty locating and entering the structure.

Step 6: If possible, locate the house within 1,500 feet of a lake, stream, pond or other water feature. Bats need water to survive.

Step 7: Do not install the house above doors or windows where bat droppings could be a problem.

Step 8: Do not install a bat house on metal siding or near bright lights, though having a light to attract insects is beneficial for attracting bats.

Step 9: Plant a wide variety of plants, trees and bushes in the yard. Bats are attracted to diverse habitats. Trees and flowers attract bugs, which are vital to the bat’s survival.

Bats will move into a bat house 50 to 60 percent of the time. If after two years bats have not moved into the house, move the house to a new location.

Free Health Fair Coming to LMH Visit Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St. in Lawrence, on Saturday, September 24, for the annual LMH Health Fair. Community members are invited to take advantage of the many free screenings and exhibits. In addition, flu shots and blood draws are available for a nominal fee.

The following is a preview of some of the items you can expect to see at this year’s health fair.

identify potential weight-related health problems.

Blood Pressure Screenings According to the Centers for Disease Control, having high blood pressure puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke. People of all ages and backgrounds can develop high blood pressure, and it’s preventable. Do you have this silent disease? Find out if you have high blood pressure at this screening.

Blood Sugar Screening (Glucose) According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), 23.6 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes. That totals 7.8 percent of the population, and according to projections, this number is expected to nearly double by the year 2034. Find out if you have or are at risk for diabetes with this screening.

Skin Cancer Screening The National Cancer Institute recommends skin cancer screenings because they can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.

Hearing Screening More than 30 percent of people over age 65 have some type of hearing loss and 14 percent of those between 45 and 64 have hearing loss. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommends that adults be screened at least every decade through age 50 and at three-year intervals thereafter.

Body Mass Index The Body Mass Index (BMI) screening calculates a number from your weight and height. This number can be a useful reference tool and can be use to

Bone Density Screening Osteoporosis, which means “porous bones,” is a disease that causes bones to weaken to the point where they can break easily. Are you at risk for osteoporosis? This quick, easy screening can indicate if further testing for this potentially debilitating disease is needed.

Fall Risk Assessments Falling often results in serious injury. This assessment helps identify those who are at greatest risk of falling.

Just Food Bring nonperishable food items to the Health Fair and help fight hunger in Douglas County. To view the Just Food wish list, visit www.eckan.org/ justfood/.

This is not a complete listing of screenings. Drop in to the fair and take advantage of these and many more free offerings from LMH departments and community organizations.
