Education. Scholarship. Understanding.
2012 marked the 28th year for the Kansas
City Branch's Shakespeare Competition.
This Competition is designed to develop
students' speaking and critical thinking
skills while they explore the beauty of the
language and the timeless themes in
Shakespeare's works. By preparing a
monologue and sonnet for public
presentation, students bring Shakespeare to life in their own way and learn to express his works
with understanding, clarity and feeling.
This year's Competition had seventeen students competing for the coveted First Place
Prize...thanks to the hard work and dedication of Dan Bukovac, our Director of the Shakespeare
Competition and the Shakespeare Committee, Ben Martin and Debbie McArdle, who worked
with the schools to encourage them to participate and give guidance on setting up the in-school
competition--particularly for schools participating for the first-time. This year also marked
another first--we had our first homeschool student participating in the Competition. The Heart
of America Shakespeare Festival sponsored a competition for homeschool students.
The Heart of America Shakespeare Festival again generously donated a scholarship to the
Shakespeare Exploration Advanced Camp as part of the prize for the First Place Winner. And,
we are always grateful for the support of the K.C. Public Library for the use of their Plaza
Branch facilities and their promotion of the Competition.
For an unprecedented third year in a row, a student from Olathe South
High School, Olathe, Kansas, captured First Place. Elizabeth Hix, a senior
at Olathe South, impressed the judges and captivated the audience with
her performance of Viola from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and her
recitation of Sonnet No. 147. Carmen Ortiz from Piper High School,
Kansas City, Kansas, won Second Place and Mark Carlson from St.
Thomas Aquinas High School, Overland Park, Kansas, won Third Place.
185 Kansas City-area high school students performed in ESU Shakespeare
competitions at their schools this year.

World Water Day is Thursday,
and a local nonprofit wants to
help provide access to safe water
and sanitation in Africa, South
Asia and Central America.
“Water.org fits well in Kansas
City because it’s a representation
of who Kansas City residents are:
caring and innovative people,”
says Erin Swanson, marketing
programs manager for the nonprofit organization.
Almost 1 billion people lack access to clean water, while 2.5 billion don’t have access to a toilet,
Swanson says. “With this World
Water Day event, we’re getting
the community involved in the
work we’re doing on a global
scale.”
So what can Kansas Citians do
for World Water Day?
❚ Buy jeans. Levi’s Water<Less
jeans require less water to make
and have saved 172 million liters
of water, according to store.

❚ Dine out. During World Water Week, today through Sunday,
some local restaurants will participate in the UNICEF Tap Project. Patrons can donate $1 for the
tap water they would usually
drink for free. Visit tapproject.org
for participating restaurants.
❚ Use less water. Challenge
yourself to take a 5-minute shower instead of a 10-minute shower.
The water in your toilet is cleaner than what almost a billion people have to drink, so we should
conserve what we use, Swanson
says.
❚ Campaign online. Build

“And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse
as madmen’s are …”
lizabeth Hix loves those
lines from Sonnet 147 by
William Shakespeare. She
certainly has spoken them enough.
“Frustration and confusion,”
Elizabeth says of the writer’s state
of mind, “and anger.”
It was just last December that
Elizabeth, a 17-year-old senior at
Olathe South High School, started
performing Shakespeare, solo, first
for a theater class assignment and
then in English class.
That was before she heard of the

ELIZABETH HIX
National Shakespeare Competition sponsored by the EnglishSpeaking Union of the United
States.
Now she’s in the thick of that
contest. Off she’ll go next month
to New York to perform Sonnet
147 and a monologue from
“Twelfth Night” — at the Lincoln
Center.
“Extremely shocked, excited
and happy,” says Elizabeth of what
she considers an unexpected turn
of events.
Elizabeth is an “English and theater person” who, like a lot of students, first encountered Shakespeare reading “Romeo and Juliet,” which for her was in ninth
grade.
She didn’t think deciphering
Shakespeare’s words was such a
struggle. She loved the sound of it,
the eloquence.
“It’s the language itself that I
really enjoy,” she says.
The Hix family moved to Olathe
from Washington state a few years
ago. Elizabeth’s father, John, is the
worship arts pastor at Vineyard
Church of Overland Park. Her
mother, Judith, stays at home. She
has two younger brothers. Elizabeth’s senior year is her first at

exy or sick? That’s the big
debate over the indie book
“Fifty Shades of Grey” by
E.L. James that has taken over the
Internet and suburban reading
circles.
The book, the first in a trilogy, has
been described as, err, well,
“mommy porn.” It follows the
story of Anastasia Steele and
Christian Grey. She’s a graduating
college senior, an innocent virgin.
He’s a young billionaire humanitarian who enjoys domination and
bondage.
Sultry and taboo stuff for a bestseller, right? While erotic books
have long been around, it’s rare
the genre sees mainstream success. But the ladies are loving
“Fifty.”
Mom blogs and romantic novel
sites alike are making it a book
club favorite among women.
It’s hard to believe it started out as
free: online fan fiction, largely
inspired by “Twilight,” but definitely written for adults. The dark
romance became such a hit that
the British author reworked it into
three books, which were picked
up by a small Australian-based
publisher last year. It has sold
more than 250,000 copies and has
become largely popular as an
e-book, recently earning the top
spot on the New York Times
e-books best-seller list.
The trilogy was acquired by Vintage Books, which will release
new e-book editions of the trio
today and paperbacks in April.
Talks of a movie are under way.
Think “91⁄2 Weeks.”
Like that movie, this book is not
without its critics. Television host
Drew Pinksy called “Fifty” unhealthy and likened it to Stockholm syndrome on his show last
week. His wife and most of the
women (including a clinical psychologist) on his show disagreed
with him, calling it a romance
fantasy.
But ask Vivien Jennings, owner of
Rainy Day Books, and she agrees
that books like these send bad
messages to women.
“It’s sad because there are so
many wonderful books out there
with healthy messages about
relationships and real intimacy,”

Sudoku Puzzle
HIX: Her sonnet isn’t ‘lovey-dovey’

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle,
but uses numbers instead of words.
The puzzle is a box of 81 squares,
subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9
squares each. Some squares are filled
in with numbers. The rest should be
filled in by the puzzler.
Fill in the blank squares allowing
the numbers 1-9 to appear only once
in every row, once in every column
and once in
every 3x3 box.
One-star
puzzles are
for beginners,
and the difficulty gradually increases
through

TO WIFE FOR
VALIDATION
JEANNE PHILLIPS
DEAR ABBY
D
EAR ABBY: I am an
amateur playwright.
Our local theater sponsors an annual playwriting
contest. The prize isn’t monetary, but something far more
important to an author — a
full-scale production of the
play.
I have won this prize four
times — more than any other
writer in the history of the
contest. But is my family
impressed? Not at all! My wife
told me she thinks I write
everything the same way and
have simply repeated myself
four times. Her put-downs are
deeply hurtful.
I am up in years. It’s unlikely I
will ever again win this prize.
So how do I respond to such
indifference? What do you do
when you feel you have accomplished something important and the response is, “So,
what else is new?” — Looking
for Validation in Florida
DEAR LOOKING FOR VALIDATION: My hat’s off to you.
That you have won this prize
more than any other writer in
the history of the contest is a
notable achievement, and
one that’s not likely to be
matched for a long time — if
ever. Take your well-earned
bow in the spotlight and
accept that the less you look
to your wife for validation,
the happier your life will be.
It’s about trust
DEAR ABBY: About a year
ago, my fiancee, “Jayne,”
reconnected with her childhood friend through Facebook.
“Christine” is gay, unattached
and very attractive. She has a
great personality, and everyone who meets her seems to
be attracted to her. Jayne and
Christine have had overnighters together. I have asked my
fiancee if Christine has ever
made advances toward her
and she said no. I want to
WWW.KANSASCITY.COM
believe her, but part of me is
wary.
They are now planning to go
on a trip for a few days to an
island. Jayne says that she
loves me and that I have nothing to be jealous about. Am I
being naive? What should I
do? — Left Behind in New
Jersey
DEAR LEFT BEHIND: Believe
it or not, gay people are capable of platonic friendships
with members of the same
sex, just as straight people
can have platonic relationships with people of the
opposite sex.
The bottom line question is,
do you trust your fiancee? If
the answer is you’re not sure,
then you should rethink the
engagement.
Moocher brother
DEAR ABBY: My brother has
systematically taken over my
parents’ lives for the past 20
years. He uses his depression
and agoraphobia as an excuse
not to lead his own life. He
lives on government disability
payments, and the majority of
his support comes from my
parents, whom he lives with
and mooches off of. He
doesn’t help them around the
house or contribute in any
way. He refuses to get treatment for his disorders.
How can I help my parents
finally be free of him? They
are fast approaching 70 years
old. Talking to my brother is
useless, as he becomes extremely hostile and threatens
to kill himself. My parents
deserve some rest at their
age. — Anonymous in New
York
DEAR ANONYMOUS: At the
rate they’re going, your parents may not get the rest they
deserve until they’re in the
great beyond.
Unless they are willing to
take a stand and make living
with them conditional upon
your brother getting counseling and medication for his
mental illness, nothing will
change.

student her sophomore and junior years.
When her English teacher,
Vicki Kohl, offered extra-credit
points to students who competed in a Shakespeare competition at school, Elizabeth
thought it sounded like fun.
She performed a “Twelfth
Night” monologue that she also had studied in theater class.
Result: first place out of 25
contestants. The win meant a
spot in the regional Shakespeare Competition sponsored
by the Kansas City chapter of
the English-Speaking Union.
Out of 185 high school students
who initially competed, 17 got
the nod to compete in February
at the Plaza branch of the Kansas City Public Library.
“I had been quite sick right
before the competition, which
was pretty frustrating,” Elizabeth says. “But I felt calm going
into it. My primary motivation
wasn’t to win. I was just going
to do my best. Of course I felt
nervous when I was called onstage.”
Result: another first place.
And an all-expenses-paid trip
to New York for the national
competition.
“Fortune forbid my outside
might have charmed her!”
That’s Viola in “Twelfth
Night,” a comedy that turns on
mixed-up identity. Viola, pretending to be a young man, has
inadvertently drawn the romantic interest of Olivia, a
countess.
In Act 2, Viola begins to realize this — and the pickle she’s
in.
“Basically it’s Viola freaking
out,” Elizabeth says.
Viola’s epiphanies make for a
dynamic monologue, she says.
Coaching and advice from
Kohl and a few others helped
her to better understand Viola
and how to portray her, including a point she hadn’t realized.
Viola probably wasn’t much
older than Elizabeth.
Elizabeth figured she knew a
thing or two about how emotional teenagers can be: “That
was my basis for Viola’s reaction, the freak-out part.”
The sonnet, she says, was very different in tone and emo-

she says. “But the buzz surrounds a book like this that
sends the wrong message to
young women.”
Jennings doesn’t believe in
censorship, so she will order a
few copies to keep in the store.
But she’s considering suggesting people read a few pages in
store for free before they
spend their money on it.
With so much hype in the
webosphere, I finally decided
to read this book. On my iPad.
I think the power to download
and read it anonymously
helped propel this book’s online sales. No one can see the
cover when you’re on an ereader.
But just what is it that has
fueled the word-of-mouth
popularity?
It’s not the writing. E.L. James
is no Erin Morgenstern, whose
fantasy-powered novel, “The
Night Circus,” drew flocks of
readers last year. Still, the
allure of “Fifty Shades of Grey”
cannot so simply be reduced to
the steamy sex scenes.
I’ve never read much of the
genre, so as I tried to figure out
what is driving this “Fifty”
phenomenon, I decided it’s
equal parts fantasy and sheer
curiosity.
With so many people talking
about a dominant-submissive
“love story,” which started out
as Twi-hard fan fiction, women
want to know what’s it all about.
And I have to be honest —
despite the clunky prose, James
does cause one to turn the page.
Just this week, I’ve sped through
two of the three books.
I can’t say it’s because I’m
suddenly a fan of S&M love
stories. Frankly, it’s not exclu-
sively about that, which is
likely why so many different
women are reading it. And for
the record, I don’t agree with
Dr. Drew. I don’t find this book
harmful to women. It’s a gross
overstatement to compare it to
Stockholm syndrome.
Yes, there are unhealthy parts
of this fictional relationship —
creepy control issues and
problems with trust and communication. Keyword: fictional.
I doubt women read this book
and want to mimic the bad
stuff anymore than they wanted to marry a vampire or run
off with a wolf post-“Twilight.”
It’s a fun escape from reality,
like so many popular books.
For me, reading the series is
like catching an episode of
“Keeping up With the Kardashians” during one of the E!
marathons. You’re both mortified and intrigued by the glamour and dysfunction. Sometimes, you can’t stop looking.
I keep reading because I now
want to know what is going to
happen to Anastasia as she
becomes captivated by Christian’s world and he learns to
love. And I am curious about
Christian’s life story. He was
born to a crack whore, abused
by her pimp, adopted by
wealthy do-gooders and lost
his virginity at 15 to a woman
who made him her submissive.
I don’t know if I hate or like
the story. I’m not done yet. But
what I can say with certainty is
so far I find it 50 kinds of crazy.

‘Closer’ time
The seventh and final season of “The Closer” will complete
its run with six episodes beginning July 9, TNT announced
last week.
The series has had a long farewell —
star Kyra Sedgwick’s decision to end the
series with season 7 was announced back
in December of 2010. The timing of these
six episodes is no accident, though; it’s
timed to coincide with the premiere of
the “Closer” spin-off, “Major Crimes,”
starring Mary McDonnell and several
other “Closer” alums, which will begin
Sedgwick
immediately after the final “Closer” episode Aug. 13.
Meanwhile, an update of “Dallas” will premiere on TNT
June 13, with Larry Hagman reprising his role as J.R. Ewing.
Rihanna for the defense
People have been scratching their heads over Rihanna’s
musical collaboration with Chris Brown, but says it “made
sense” and it’s “innocent.”
Brown appears on a remix of her song “Birthday Cake,”
and she appears on a remix of his “Turn
up the Music.” Their musical union is
noteworthy because Brown beat up
Rihanna three years ago and is still on
probation for the assault.
Rihanna says it was her idea for
Brown to appear on her song because
he’s “the hottest R&B artist” right now.
He then asked her to be on his song.
She says the partnership allowed fans
Rihanna
to come together, adding: “There
shouldn’t be a divide. … It’s music, and
it’s innocent.”
She made the comments to Ryan Seacrest on his radio
show on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

After studying the viewing behavior of its young audience, the CW television network has switched strategies
and is no longer delaying the online release of such popular
shows as “Gossip Girl” and “The Vampire Diaries.”
CW said last week that it would begin making episodes of
its prime-time series available several hours after their initial
television broadcast. The move illustrates how television
companies are moving to adapt to rapid changes in technology.
“Consumers have been telling us that they want the ability
to watch their shows whenever and where ever they are,”
said Rick Haskins, CW executive vice president of marketing
and digital programs. “If we don’t listen to them, we will be
missing an opportunity.”

round in that contest will have
to perform a cold reading of a

“If I get there, that would be
scary,” she says.
The winner gets a full-tuition
scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art’s Young
Actors Summer School in London. Second place gets the
same at the American Shakespeare Center Theatre Camp
in Staunton, Va.
Elizabeth says she didn’t
watch any of the film versions
of “Twelfth Night,” including
the 2006 loose movie adaptation with Amanda Bynes,
“She’s the Man.” She didn’t
want to subconsciously mimic
another performance.
She wanted to make it her
own. So far, so good.

Not “lovey-dovey” at all, she
says, Sonnet 147’s narrator is
torn. His “reason” is helpless
against a love he knows he
shouldn’t pursue.
“The sonnets are standalones,” Elizabeth says, “so you

create a character. He says he
thought his love was bright and
awesome, but she turns out to
be ‘dark as night.’ So I thought
of his love as someone who

but inhabiting a character is
