Student loses race,but not hope
ELECTION 2008
Tyler Holmes ran for state representative and did better than expected
BY ALEXANDRIA ESPOSTIO

Tyler Holmes, Overland Park freshman, ran as the Democratic candidate for Kansas' 28th district representative. Holmes lost to Pat Colloton, the Republican incumbent, but the unlikely candidate said he was pleasantly surprised he managed to receive a quarter of the votes. His goal was to get 1,000 votes; he received about 4,000 votes.
His age and political party may have affected his chances at victory, but Holmes remained confident and continued to receive support through the entire election process.
Holmes said one of his main goals in running was to increase the visibility of the Johnson County Democratic Party. Holmes said he was proud of what he had accomplished in the face of tough competition.

Tyler Holmes, Overland Park freshman, ran as a Democrat for the Kansas House of Representatives. Holmes said that he brought a unique perspective to education and energy.
"I have to be thrilled," he said. "I outdid the number of registered Democrats in the county and was only 309 votes short of the high mark," for a Democratic candidate in the district.
Most college students would find it impossible to take on a challenge like this during their first semester of freshman year, but Holmes said he was able to balance an 18-hour course load and the duties of running his own campaign.
"I've managed without getting behind too much in any class, but I am constantly thinking about what I could be doing for the campaign while trying to satisfy my scholastic duties," Holmes said.
Representative Collonto and Holmes differ in gender, political party, age and years of experience. But Colleton said, "It's great that a young person is involved with politics". She also said she thinks Holmes would've been too young and too inexperienced to be state representative.
However, Holmes is too ambitious to start small, and said he felt he had enough knowledge and heart to hold a position in office.
"Tyler is a nice kid, but I think it's presumptuous to want to represent the citizens of Leawood without much background and experience," Colloton said.
Holmes also wants to use the state's "wasted funds" to make Kansas' state universities more affordable.
He said he would like to see Kansas specialize in wind energy and would like the state to spend more money on better teaching methods, rather than standardized testing.
Holmes is opposed to Colloton's plan to draw funds from the proposed gambling infrastructure revenue stream.
"The federal government should utilize the prevalent energy in each state. For Kansas, that's wind." Holmes said. "Supporting wind energy could also create more local jobs."
Holmes' biggest supporters are his friends and teachers from high school.
sidering the economic circumstances we're in," Holmes said. "While Kansans are already hurting for cash and thus contributing less to state revenues, we want to encourage them to gamble to create a cash flow to fund state projects?"
"I simply find it appalling con-
"I must thank them because they have been totally supportive, even when I wasn't confident in the whole idea, in me chasing my dreams," Holmes said. "Their encouragement has meant a ton."

"My friends all tell me it's hard to be my friend in October," Willis said, "But I'm usually back to my normal self in November."
Salon Hawk's breast cancer fundraiser benefitting Lawrence Memorial Hospital met its goal of $10,000 in October. Emily Willis, owner and operator of the salon, said reaching the goal provided an unreal feeling. The fundraiser, which consisted of pink hair extensions and "Save 2nd Base" T-shirts, was inspired by Willis' friend, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 27.

The money raised by Salon Hawk goes directly to aid cancer patients at the hospital. Willis said the goal for next year's fundraiser, which will be the salon's third, would be set even higher.
Throughout the month of October, Willis said the four-chair salon was busier than it had ever been.
BOMBSHELL
WEATHER Snowstorm knocks out power for thousands
As much as 40 inches of snow fell in higher elevations of western South Dakota's Black Hills as the early season blizzard caused havoc. Drifts as deep as 6 feet covered roads in Spearfish.
RAPID CITY, S.D. — A wintry blast of punishing wind and more than 3 feet of snow in places pummeled the Northern Plains on Thursday, knocking out power to thousands and forcing highways to close.
The snow came down — sideways might be a better description — at a rate of 3 inches an hour overnight. It slacked off to 1 to 2 inches per hour late Thursday morning, Schild said.
There are hundreds if not thousands of KU alumni in every US state. West Virginia has the fewest alumni, with 200. Congrats to the Alumni Association in celebrating its 125th year.
