HEARSAL 

“Great Caesar’s Ghost!” is one of the funniest, 

most unusual farces ever written for the amateur 

stage. Mrs. Penelope Maxwell and her scatter- 

brained friend, Phoebe DeRoyster, have been 

visiting a mystic who promises them spiritual 

experiences beyond compare. This is much to 

the despair of Penelope’s daughter, Helen, who is 

having trouble convincing her mother that practi- 

cal Tommy Tucker is the one guy for her. Along 

comes Helen’s go-getter Aunt Polly, followed by 

Uncle Phineas Farthingale and the temperamental 

protective ghost of an Inca Chief whom Phin- 

eas once befriended on a trip to South America. 

When these three agree to lend Helen their as- 

sistance, it’s not hard to imagine the hilarity that 

ensues. Added to this lively mix are an ornery 

neighbor boy, Phoebe’s nerdy sheltered daughter, 

a fl irtatious maid, the stern butler, and a ter- 

ritorial cook. With a fast-paced series of ghostly 

pranks and riotously funny scenes, audiences will 

have the time of their lives!

Valentine’s Day Dinner for Kids 

With all the special events taking place on Valentine’s 

Day it is only right to end the day with a dinner befit- 

ting the occasion. Kids can give you some ideas for 

what they want to have for dinner. If you trust their 

tastes, let them choose the meal. Here are some kid 

friendly Valentine’s Day dinner ideas. 

Make your own pizza. The kids can choose the top- 

pings and fix them up into little bowls so that they are 

easier to put on the pizza. Parents can shape the dough 

into a heart when it is ready for toppings. To get the 

entire family involved, each person can create a per- 

sonal pizza for themselves with their favorite toppings. 

Anything that you can shape can become a Valentine’s 

Day meal centerpiece. Instead of a loaf pan, put that 

meatloaf into a heart shaped pan. 

For Valentine’s Day, the drinks are on the kids. Red 

Kool-Aid is a great choice. Let the kids mix it up. 

To avoid all of the sweetness, use Splenda instead of 

pure cane sugar. You can also make a Valentine’s Day 

punch. If your kids are really creative, they can use 

heart-shaped ice molds to fashion festive ice cubes to 

keep their drinks cool and refreshing.

Dr. Joe’s Pet Column 

By: Joe Beuerlein, DVM 

One aspect of the routine care that our pets need is 

good dental care. Whether you have a pet that is kept 

indoors or outdoors, whether it is being fed a dry 

food diet or a canned food diet, a periodic check of 

your pet’s teeth and gums is essential to the long-term 

health of your pet. An animal’s oral health is impor- 

tant to its overall health, even more so than with us. 

Preventing dental disease is relatively easy, and defi- 

nitely pays dividends in your pet’s later years. 

Routine care may consist of regular brushing of your 

pet’s teeth, using oral rinses or water additives, or feeding 

a food or “treat” designed to minimize tartar build- 

up. All of these options will help to slow down tartar 

build-up on the teeth. This will then keep periodontal 

disease, with its gum infection and recession, from 

leading to tooth loss. 

As part of a comprehensive physical examination by 

your veterinarian, a pet’s mouth should be examined 

for abnormalities. This might be a bad tooth, infected 

gums, a tumor in the oral cavity, or even a foreign 

object stuck in the mouth. As needed, teeth should be 

professionally cleaned and polished, the gums checked 

for gingivitis and gum recession, and any concerns by 

the owner, such as bad breath, should be investigated 

and addressed. Depending on several factors, this may 

need to be performed on an annual basis. 

Good dental health in a pet’s later years allows them to 

maintain a proper level of nourishment, 

which promotes a strong and healthy animal. 

Missing teeth and advanced periodo- 

ntal disease, on the other hand, adversely 

affects a pet’s eating habits and can serve as 

a source of more serious bacterial infectio- 

ns in the body. This causes a decline in the 

quality of life of your pet as well as shorten- 

ing a pet’s lifespan. 

Remember to take your pet’s oral health 

into account when caring for them. Consult 

with your veterinarian if you notice a chan- 

ge in their eating habits. Recognizing a 

problem in the oral cavity early on can 

make a significant difference in the overall 

treatment and success for your pet.

Designline…Window Treatments 

Nothing instantly transforms a room more than a new 

window treatment. This is a design decision where 

form always follows function. With countless options 

and styles, I first determine how the window covering 

should perform. Whether it needs to provide privacy, 

allow light to filter in, block light, hide a view, provide 

acoustical properties or insulate. With the basic needs 

defined, the style of treatment can be selected to fit 

the design of the room and add color, texture, pattern, 

warmth, interest and balance. 

The categories of hard treatments typically are those 

mounted on a head rail and precisely fit on the trim 

of the window frame. The mechanics of the treatment 

are concealed in the head rail and function by remote 

control or by various types of cord and pulley systems. 

These include wood blinds and shutters, vertical blinds 

and gliding window panels, shading systems such as 

cellular, pleated, textured screen shades and roman 

shades. There are constantly new products on the mar- 

ket in this category with great colors, woods, fabrics 

and woven textures, and natural materials including 

bamboo, reeds and grasses. 

Compare our low prices 

273-8686 

or Cell 213-0888 

(Offer good with coupon 

through Feb. 28, 2010) 

The second category which I call soft treatments 

includes fabric side panels, traversing draperies and 

sheers, roman shades, valances and cornice boards. 

This is where I like to be creative and chose fabrics and 

designs that not only provide a function, but add style, 

pattern, and color to the room. This treatment adds 

a lot of impact and dimension to a space. Selection of 

fabric content is also important to determine stability, 

wear ability and compatibility with the design of the 

treatment. Detail can be added with accent fabrics and 

with the use of designer trims and interesting hard- 

ware. 

Of course soft and hard treatments can be used to- 

gether to complete a total look of function and fashion. 

Window treatments should work for your needs and 

create a finished and unique look for your environ- 

ment.

the volunteers respond to scenes in their POV’s, most 

likely due to location. This volunteer is one of the most 

knowledgeable firefighters concerning radios, pag-

County, most likely because he owns a business with 

that expertise.) 

He arrived on scene, with his medical jump bag from 

his van and headed up to the door where a man had 

the door open. The firefighter asked if he is the one 

that called 911, if the call was for him or someone else

In the fire service we have what is called chain 

of command and span of control. Both are so 

very important to make sure what is said and 

done is what is heard and understood. Chain 

of command uses the same concept as the 

military’s rank system. Span of control refers 

to how many people a “supervisor” can effectively 

manage. Four to six persons is an accept- 

able number. That is why it works effectively 

and efficiently.

“Hard Work” 

By Roy Williams, with Tim Grothers 

To those who are basketball fans, Roy Williams is 

probably one of those people who you either like or 

don’t like. To non-basketball fans who just don’t care, 

I offer my apologies for reviewing his book. When 

Williams was hired at Kansas University as the head 

basketball coach, many people thought he would fail 

because he was untested in the Division I college ranks. 

It wasn’t long, however, that he was following a long list 

of winning coaches at KU and even the more vocal of 

those same people started talking about how they were 

among his early admirers. So goes the coaching profes- 

sion. If a coach wins, little else matters. If he loses, he 

can always sell cars or something.. 

So, how could anyone who is a KU fan be upset with 

Roy Williams? The detractors were convinced and 

related such feelings as, “After the school had allowed 

him to coach for 15 years at KU, he had the audac- 

ity to leave our beloved crimson and blue to accept a 

similar position at the University of North Carolina. 

How could he?” Or, “Why, he is nothing more than a 

low down traitor who let down the school, his play- 

ers, the alumni and every other citizen of the state of 

Kansas.” The nasty comments just kept coming. No one 

seemed to believe Williams had a right to live his life 

the way he wanted. This book details his many thought 

processes as he made critical decisions throughout his 

lifetime. 

Born to a poor family in a rural area of North Caro- 

lina, Williams has had to work for everything he got. 

His father left his Mom, a sister and Roy to fend for 

themselves. While the living was certainly not easy, the 

Williams family were well respected and were never 

afraid to work odd jobs to make ends meet. Through 

those formative years, Roy never lost his desire to 

compete at anything he did. If he wasn’t good enough 

to make the team, he practiced more than everyone 

else on the team. It wasn’t long before the neighbors 

and school officials noticed his inborn desire to excel. 

When he was caught sneaking into the gymnasium at 

night to shoot basketballs, the coach knew Roy would 

Roy’s coaches replaced his father in certain ways and 

were very influential in his life decisions. From high 

school Coach Baldwin to North Carolina University 

coach Dean Smith, Roy received the training he need- 

ed to succeed in basketball. He knew early in life he 

wanted to coach and worked his way through college 

at different jobs, including being a intramural referee. 

He knew if he worked hard enough, he would be ready 

when his first head coaching job was offered. KU was 

the lucky school. 

“Hard Work” is an outstanding story about the old 

adage that “good luck comes to hard workers.” I had 

always admired Williams as a coach, but now find I 

admire him for being the man he is. It’s no wonder his 

basketball players have revered him at KU and NC.

Perennial Optimist 

A flower garden is like a box of chocolates. Take off the lid and look 

at all the different shapes of the chocolates – round, long, square – and 

see how they all fit together inside the box like a puzzle. 

Now, imagine you’re planning a new flower bed. Draw the outer shape 

of that bed on a piece of paper. Then draw in several different shapes 

all fitting together inside the outline. Inside each of those shapes will 

be specific flowers. 

The square chocolate-covered caramel can be 5 daisies, one in each 

corner of the square and one in the middle. The long skinny chocolate 

cream can be a staggered row of daylilies, and the round peppermint 

patty can be a clump of 3 monarda. And so on… 

Each one of those shapes or clumps of the same plant is called a “drift.” 

Planting flower beds in drifts of same plants creates more of a color 

impact than a single row of one plant all in a straight line. 

You will also need to consider the heights of flowers you want in each 

drift, the colors, textures and bloom times. And you should visualize 

one of those drifts as a focal point, like an ornamental tree or a 

birdbath, for example. By imagining your new flower bed as a box of 

chocolates is a good way to start your garden plan. 

Happy Planting!

Two Current Exhibits 

Showing February 5th - 28th 

“Native American Folk Arts: Living Traditions”...The history of Native 

Americans in Kansas is, in part, the story of how cultural traditions 

continue to unfold through time while maintaining ties to the past. 

Historically, Indian nations traded with other Indian nations, and their 

artists also came in contact with Europeans, new technologies, and 

changes in the environment. Although Native American cultures were 

challenged by outside forces for many years, the traditional elements remain strong in folk arts practiced today. 

Produced by the Kansas Historical Society with partial funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. 

“A Photographic Narrative: The Indians of Kansas”...Native Americans in Kansas reflect on their lives, their 

heritage, and what it means to be Indian in today’s society. Nineteen award-winning portraits capture the di- 

versity of the state’s Native American communities. From traditional elder to young Persian Gulf veteran, from 

the reservation to the city, these voices both express individuality and strong ties to family, tribe, and tradition. 

Produced by the Mid-America All-Indian Center with partial funding from the Kansas Humanities Council.

New Teacher Earns Distinction 

Ashley Beason, Yearbook/Media teacher at Washburn 

Rural Middle School has been named a Kansas Hori- 

zon Award Winner. Ashley received notification of the 

award through a surprise call from the Kansas Com- 

missioner of Education last Friday. 

The mission of the program is to recognize exem- 

plary first-year teachers who perform in a way that 

distinguishes them as outstanding. Only 31 teachers 

from across the state will be recognized this year. The 

teachers will become part of the Kansas Exemplary 

Educators Network (KEEN) and be recognized at their 

conference in February. 

Ashley is a Washburn Rural High School graduate. Her 

father Steve was a teacher and coach at WRHS from 

1996 to 1999. Steve Beason died from Lou Gehrig’s 

Disease in 2002. 

Student’s Dog Detects Seizures 

A Farley Elementary kindergarten student has a serv- 

ice dog that is trained to detect seizures up to an hour 

and half before the student has them. The 22 month 

old golden retriever was trained in Ohio to detect and 

alert to the student’s tonic clonic seizures. The teacher 

says the dog is very sweet natured dog and has defi- 

nitely become a part of her classroom and a part of the 

Farley family.

Thursday, February 4th the Kansas Scholastic Press As- 

sociation is sponsoring a special learning opportunity

“Evidence” 

By Jonathan Kellerman 

The intention of the building is obvious. Someone wants to own the biggest mansion on one of the most luxuri- 

ous lots in the city of Los Angeles. For some reason, however, the construction was started, but has now stopped 

and the place remains a pile of ugly raw lumber. The owners, for some unknown reason want the place guarded 

and hire an elderly man to check it once a day, every day. What he normally finds is nothing. One day, however, 

what he finds starts an intensive investigation spanning the globe. Two people have been murdered, found naked 

and placed in a gruesome position for someone to discover. 

Alex Delaware, a psycologist, had been asked numerous times to assist law enforcement agencies in some of the 

more bizarre cases on record. Initially, no obvious leads are apparent in the double homicide. Attempts to learn 

something about the woman prove unsuccessful. As the case developed, however, the man is identified as Des- 

mond Backer, an architect who was known for his attempts to promote sane ecology practices in the building 

trade. Why he was even at the unfinished mansion, however, seems counter to his normal attitudes and activities. 

The head police investigator, Milo Sturgis, who thought he had seen every possible homicide case becomes so 

baffled he calls Alex for help. 

Development of the connection between Backer and the mansion become the starting point of the investigation. 

The architect’s employer, Helga Gemein, is less than helpful concerning both the murders or Backer. Even though 

Backer was known for his successful tendency of romancing many women, Gemein appears to be completely 

turned off at the thought of any involvement with him. Her aloof attitude earns her a spot on the possible sus- 

pects list along with the guard who had found the bodies. A minor lead then turns Milo and Alex toward one of 

Backer’s ex-lovers and her husband. 

The list of suspects expands again to include a foreign prince who prefers the American life as long as it doesn’t 

interfere in his somewhat sickening definition of romance. The plot becomes even more entangled with the intr- 

oduction of conspiracy and blackmail and the fact that Alex and Milo become the hunted instead of the hunters. 

Author Jonathan Kellerman has really turned up the heat in this book. It is a detailed account about how a crime 

is truly solved -- not by glitzy, feel good, clues that fall in the lap of the police, but how each little clue becomes 

part of the total that will eventually lead to the demise of the criminal. It is a truly enjoyable story.
