Stairs, like hallways, are pass-throughs, ameans of getting from one space to another— more specifically, from one level to anoth-er. Not that they can't be handsome — evendrop-dead —- architecturally. Think aboutthose magazine beauty shots that show ele-gant circular stairs shot from the top look-ing down or from the ground looking up,often to fanciful skylights or chandeliers.

But most stairs are, well, pretty generic:wood in natural stains or painted, dressedperhaps by fancier rails, newel posts or spin-dles.

"One thing we like to do as designers is totake spaces that are overlooked and makethem marvelous," says Jason Oliver Nixon,partner with John Loecke in the firmMadcap Cottage. "Why should a stairwayjust be a means to an end? Why not make it ajourney?"

Nixon and Loecke have painted, stenciledand installed runners that convert stairsfrom "mundane to wow."

"Some clever design tricks actually makesome houses appear to be much larger," saysNixon. "When a stairway becomes a room,there's a sense of progression and the paceof a home changes."

There are plenty of ways to step up thelook of stairs. One of the easiest is with run-ners, often a dress-up, finishing touch, not tomention a way to acoustically soften andcozy the surface underfoot. The safest routeis with traditional applications — Oriental,small-scale floral or quiet geometric styles,more often than not in subdued hues.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mary Bridget Davies is part singer,part actress and part spirit conjurer.

The bubbly performer is uncanny at capturing the lookand sound of the late Janis Joplin in a new Broadwayshow highlighting the iconic blues singer.

“I feel a responsibility to be as honest and authentic aspossible,” says Davies, who has spent years singing Joplinsongs in concert and onstage. “You can’t fake the funk.You can’t fake Janis.”

Davies and her “A Night With Janis Joplin,” which opensThursday, are part of a new wave of musicals featuringfemale singer-songwriters, a list that includes a CaroleKing musical making its way to Broadway, a Billie Holidayshow now off-Broadway and musicals planned on DianeWarren and Patsy Cline. It all might signal the theatricalequivalent of ladies’ night.

“I kind of feel like people are beginning to feel the needfor nurturing figures and the feminine side of life,” saysDee Dee Bridgewater, the Grammy- and Tony-winningactress who plays Holiday in “Lady Day” at the LittleShubert Theatre.

Bridgewater channels the blues legend during a come-

back attempt in the years before her 1959 death. The showfeatures 25 Holiday standards, including “Good MorningHeartache,” ‘’Strange Fruit,” ‘’My Man” and “God Blessthe Child.”

“This isn’t an imitation,” Bridgewater warns, thoughwhen the show was on in London years ago she would getfan letters addressed to Holiday. “I’d open it up and itwould read, ‘Dear Billie, I sure enjoyed your show lastnight.’”

The new interest in female singers and songwriters maybe a coincidence but it comes as a refreshing change fromall the testosterone in behind-the-music shows such as“Million Dollar Quartet,” ‘’Jersey Boys” and BerryGordy’s “Motown, the Musical.”

On tap is “Always... Patsy Cline,” which tells of thefriendship between Cline and a devoted fan. The showstarring “American Idol” finalist Crystal Bowersox willfeature almost 30 classic songs from the Cline songbook.The music of award-winning Warren, writer of hits suchas “Unbreak My Heart” and “If I Could Turn Back Time,”is being adapted for the Broadway stage under the guid-ance of Dede Harris Productions.

Other recent shows that showcased female singer-song-writers include “Forever Dusty” about Dusty Springfieldthat played off-Broadway last year and “Baby It’s You!” a2011 jukebox musical on Broadway about FlorenceGreenberg, who managed the careers of several key fig-ures in early rock ‘n’ roll.

Next month, Broadway sees the arrival of “Beautiful —the Carole King Musical,” which charts King’s life fromage 16 to being part of a hit songwriting team with herhusband, Gerry Goffin, and ends with the release of hergroundbreaking solo album “Tapestry.”

Playwright Douglas McGrath set King’s music to thestory of her relationship with her husband and fellowwriters and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Italso shines a light on a seismic shift in the music businesswhen songwriters began writing for themselves and notjust others.

Tony-nominated Jessie Mueller stars in the show, whichis in San Francisco through Oct. 20. The wonderful scoreincludes the songs “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,”‘’Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) aNatural Woman.”

Musicals featuring female singer-songwriters swell

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The fatherof a 9-year-old boy who evaded secu-rity to stow away on a flight fromMinneapolis to Las Vegas toldreporters Wednesday he’s been frus-trated in his efforts to get help forhis troubled son.

The father spoke at a news confer-ence on condition of anonymity toprotect his son. Sobbing at times, hesaid his son had a history of misbe-havior but officials had told himthey couldn’t help because his sonhadn’t done anything bad enoughyet.

“I’m tired of people saying he’s aminor, there’s nothing we can do.There’s something somebody cando,” said the dad, wearing a hoodieand baseball cap pulled low to hidehis face.

The boy took a light-rail train tothe airport last Thursday and blend-ed in with a family to get past secu-rity, slipped past a gate agent andtook an empty seat on the Delta AirLines flight. The flight crew turnedhim over to police in Las Vegas,where he was still being heldWednesday.

The father spoke at the office ofMAD DADS, where the communitygroup’s president, V.J. Smith, saidcounty child protection workers toldhim the boy will be returned toMinnesota and reunited with hisfamily Friday, not kept in custody.Smith added that the county would“wrap some services around thefamily.”

The father said this son had beensuspended from school for fightingbefore he slipped away Wednesdayby saying he was taking out thetrash. He said he and the boy’smother presumed he then went to afriend’s house. She called police thenext day, after he didn’t come home,and learned he had been arrested inLas Vegas.

“How would you let a 9-year-oldchild go through a security checkwithout stopping and questioninghim? How can that be?” he asked.

Stowaway’s dadsays requested

help for problem son

NEW YORK (AP) — BettyHalbreich had something toshare over brunch the othermorning.

“I’m wearing a panty gir-dle,” allowed the 85-year-oldpersonal shopping guru at thelegendarily tony BergdorfGoodman on Fifth Avenue —not a shocking revelation for awoman of a certain age who’sspent her life impeccablyattired.

“I’ve NEVER worn a pantygirdle,” replied her brunchcompanion and co-panelist,Lena Dunham, the 27-year-oldcreator and star of HBO’s“Girls.”

“I know!” replied Halbreich.Big laugh from the crowd.Opposites may attract, but

still, at first blush, it’s a littlehard to imagine what wouldunite Halbreich, the no-non-sense Bergdorf ’s doyennewho’s been catering to herwell-heeled clientele for near-ly four decades, and Dunham,whose oft-scrutinized fashionchoices — or, choices to wearlittle of anything at all on hershow — seem as far fromHalbreich’s world as conceiv-ably possible.

But in a potentially deli-cious convergence of two radi-cally different orbits, Dunhamand Halbreich, 58 years hersenior, are coming togetherfor a project based onHalbreich’s life. Dunham andco-writer Jenni Konner (alsoof “Girls”) are slated to writea comedy series, currently indevelopment at HBO.

Whenever that might hap-pen, it’s a proposition thatraises lots of tantalizing stylequestions, as was clearlydemonstrated at Sunday’sbrunch at Bergdorf ’s BGrestaurant, an event put on bythe New Yorker Festival andmoderated by fashion writerJudith Thurman.

SENIORS

Have you ever wondered what your legacy will looklike? Have you ever thought about how making adifference today is powerful andhow even more powerful making

a difference for tomorrow is…when youare no longer around to guide theadventure? Have you ever wonderedhow life will continue forth after wehave come and gone?

Well, I have to admit, I don’t do itvery often. But when I do, I imaginehow the world will be like around me.I think of the things my kids mightbe doing, and what people will be intheir lives and what the communitywill be like and how things will begrowing and changing and adapting.With these thoughts in mind, I thinkabout how I want to love my legacy.

Legacies are something to be shared by others.Legacies can be anything you want, with your hopesand dreams for the future. In my mind, they are tomor-row’s reality of today’s thoughts, creativity, desires andhard work all rolled into one.

But one of those hopes and dreams for the future thatwe have here at the center is our endowment fundcalled “A Loving Legacy.” We want to continue to growit for the betterment of our community.

Although I can definitely say that I am a part of help-ing the center’s endowment grow, by educating the pub-lic on what the fund can do, you can imagine this samegrowth and opportunity for whatever you are a part of,whether it is for your family or your closest to heartcharity. What kind of legacy do you want to leavebehind when it is time? Is it one you will be proud of ?One you love?

Well, to my way of thinking there is no right orwrong definition of what is a good or bad legacy. Somemay be ones that touch many, some may be legaciesthat touch few. Some legacies may be filled with sur-prises and some may be filled with joy.

I just know that here at the Senior Center we havedetermined that the endowment is a way for us to con-tinue providing services well into the future. It is amechanism that relies less and less on governmentalfunding streams and more open to the wishes of pri-vate contributions.

It is truly the personal touch that changes lives andmakes a difference and now more than ever it is evi-dent that with the backdrop on the federal level, we arepoised to become more financially independent as ahuman service provider. We want to see a good thinggoing for many years to come. We want to help some ofthe good things in place stay and for change andgrowth to keep the center relevant. We wish to contin-ue providing support to individuals 60 or better andtheir families that need it or want it.

We are proud at the center, just like the other non-profits bettering Sheridan County. It is a powerfulthing to be a part of something good. We encourageyou to find your passion and go for it. We are workinghard to love our legacy and hope that you can too.

GUEST COLUMNIST RINDY WEST is the Development Director at the Sheridan Senior Center.She is a part of the Center’s Loving Legacy Endowment to provide services for the future. “CenterStage is written by friends of the Senior Center for the Sheridan Community. It is a collection ofinsights and stories related to living well at every age.”

FROM THE SHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER

SHERIDAN — Many areas ofSheridan County were without powerfor hours to days due to the wetheavy snow on Oct. 4. Were you pre-pared or were you taken off-guard?

en, raviolis, chili, beef stew, Spam,corned beef, etc.) per person in yourhousehold

• Hand-operated can opener• Instant coffee, tea, powdered soft

drinks• Permanent marking pen• 1 gallon of drinking (not distilled)

water per petDon’t forget pet food and diapers

and baby food if needed. Stockpilingfor a potential disaster is a good planfor all families.

Action: Make a family plan. Dateeach perishable food item using thepermanent marking pen.

Some other items you may includein your disaster plan are a 5-galloncontainer for additional water, a bat-tery-operated wind-up radio and anadequate supply of prescription med-ications. Remember to check expira-tion dates and rotate food stuffs.

As the new health insuranceMarketplaces get underway, scammershave begun to surface, ready to takeadvantage of those who may not realizethey are giving personal and financialinformation to fraudulent people. Here arefive tips to help you protect your identityand finances this enrollment season:

• Trust your instincts. If something doesnot feel right, then it probably is a scam.When someone calls you on the phoneclaiming to be a government employee andneeding to know your personal informa-tion, such as asking for you to verify yourSocial Security number or requestingcredit card information—stop! No govern-ment worker will call you asking for thisinformation. Do not give this informationto an unknown person, especially over thephone.

• Keep Medicare cards private and in asafe place. Treat your Medicare card theway you would your Social Security card—in a safe place.

• Discern legitimate mail from scammail. Mailings and letters from govern-ment agencies, such as Medicare andSocial Security, will have an official gov-ernment seal and/or logo on it. Keep this

mail, don’t overlook it. Other flyers, let-ters, or postcards claiming to be from“Medicare” that don’t have theseseals/logos should be set aside. Do notrespond to them unless you can verify thatthey are legitimate.

• When in doubt, call them out. Whensomeone calls you and asks for personalhealth or financial information, do not feelobligated to respond. Ask them for theirname, number, address, and the name oftheir agency/company. Tell them that youfirst need to verify who they are represent-ing. Someone who is legitimately trying toassist you will provide you with the infor-mation and understand your need to be asafe consumer.

• Report it. For every one person whoreports a fraudulent scam, there are likely10 other people who experienced the samething but either were afraid to speak up ordidn’t know who to call. Beyond telling afriend or a family member about yourexperience, it is important to report whenyou believe that you have been the victimof identity theft or a scam to an official,including the police and the Federal TradeCommission, so appropriate action can betaken and to help prevent others frombecoming victims. You can file a complaintonline, using FTC’s Complaint Assister.

• Application assis-tance for the Low-Income EnergyAssistance Programthrough the SheridanSenior Center is avail-able by appointment.Call 672-2240 to make anappointment.

• Appointments forassistance withMedicare Part D areavailable at theSheridan Senior Center.Call 672-2240.

FAITH

David writes in Psalm 133:1,“Behold, how good and howpleasant it is for brothers to dwelltogether in unity!”

David was herald-ing unity amongthose who were inagreement aboutwho their God was,and is. God’s heartfor His children,through the newbirth in Jesus Christis still unity.

The Apostle Paulcontinued to makethat clear among thechurches that heplanted and wroteletters of encouragement to. Paulexhorted the church in Ephesus that“There is one Body and one Spirit…there is one Lord, one faith, one bap-tism, and one God and Father of usall…” (Eph. 4:4-6). Making it clear asChrist followers that in essentialbeliefs – we have unity.

To the Christians in Rome, Paulwrote, “Accept him whose faith isweak, without passing judgment ondisputable matters…” (Romans 14:1-12). Paul was encouraging the believ-ers in Rome to exercise grace andpatience among the community offaith as they interpreted and walkedout certain aspects of Biblical truth.So that…in the interpretations – wehave liberty.

And to the Church in Corinth hewrites “…If I hold in my mind notonly all human knowledge but also

the very secrets of God, and if I havethe faith that can move mountains –but have no love, I amount to nothingat all.” (I Cor. 13:2). EncouragingChristians to walk in love towardthose who are of the household offaith.

Unity among God’s people on theearth today starts with unity in theessential beliefs about the God of cre-ation that is so well stated in theNicene Creed.

“I believe in one God the FatherAlmighty,

Maker of heaven and earth,And of all things visible and invisi-

ble.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,The only-begotten Son of God,Begotten of His Father before all

worlds,God of God, Light of Light,Very God of very God,Begotten, not made,Being of one substance with the

Father,By whom all things were made;Who for us and for our salvationCame down from heaven,And was incarnate by the Holy

Spirit of the Virgin Mary,And was made man,And crucified also for us under

Pontius Pilate;He suffered and was buried,And the third day He rose againAccording to the Scriptures,And ascended into heaven,And sitteth on the right hand of the

Father;And He shall come again with gloryTo judge both the living and the

dead;Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,The Lord and Giver of life,Who proceedeth from the Father

and the Son,Who with the Father and the Son

togetherIs worshipped and glorified;Who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one universal andapostolic church;

I acknowledge one baptism for theremission of sins;

And I look for the resurrection ofthe dead,

And the life of the world to come.Amen.

I believe that the unity that blessesGod’s heart and exalts Him as King isfound in Psalm 133, and is manifestedthrough the Church as we practicethree things;

In essential beliefs – We have UnityIn non-essential beliefs (interpreta-

tions) – We have LibertyIn all our beliefs – We show

Charity.”

Jesus has revealed Himself asPrince of Peace, will we surrender toHim as King over our hearts?

TONY FORMAN is pastor at Cornerstone Church.
