As the rototiller we purchased was so expensive, Aimee Polson, Coordinator was asked to be sure to mention in each newsletter that it is available for rental, and a bargain at that. Pres. Pike made a dessert request for the Martin Luther King Chili Feed at New York School. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Bicycle paths remain a tricky issue. Truck routes are ill defined. Speed limits are a problem. Connecticut St. has been abandoned as a possibility at this time. Carriage houses on the alleys would have been endangered to make needed parking. More discussions will be held at a meeting at the East Lawrence Recreation Center on February 7, 2000. All are welcome. Brook Creek Neighborhood representative, Michael Almon presented his ideas in regard to bike paths. His plan networks arterial streets fer paths, and encourages traffic slowing devices such as round-abouts, bulb-outs, and curb tables on Connecticut St., as has been suggested by cunsultant Michael Wallworth for the Broken Arrow Neighborhood in regard to Louisiana St. These devices are pedestrian friendly because they reduce the speed of vehicles, make decision-making simple, widen the gaps between cars, and increase visibility. Attending neighbors were interested in his suggestions, and Julian Dahl suggested that the ideas be presented at the Conservation District meeting on Jan. 26. Mr. Val Romero informed us that his house at 904 Pa. is being worked on. The roof is being replaced. The Zoning Variance for the Zen Center at 1423 New York St. met with no objections.

She then introduced census taker from North Lawrence, Javid Butcher. Dave spoke of the difficulties facing the Department of Census. He emphasized that much funding from all government bodies dependet upon a full count. Neighbors in neighborhoods are most likely to have success in counting as they are better received than strangers. Four to Five working neighbors would be most helpful. The job pays $9.00 per hour and 32 1/2 cents/ mile. All answers are confidential! Laura Keiser of Interfaith Caring Neighbors (I-CAN) was introduced. She is completing a survey of residents 60 years of age or older.

One night of 3-4 hours training is all that is required. At this time 148 seniors are being helped. Most need minor home repair. Rita Mika is the director of ICAN. Next, Alan Bowes, Tenants to Homeowners spoke next. This organization is a nonprofit housing developer affiliated with the Kansas Department of Housing. At this time, applications are being taken for a home to be built at 1133 Pennsylvania St. The house will have a $30,000 Mortgage with a $60,000 state financed mortgage that is written off as the resident continues to live at the home. The Pennsylvania house was designed with helpful ideas from Independence, INC. Potential applicants must have an income of 60% of the median income. Rehabilitation of older homes is sometimes a possibility. For cost effictivness, homes can be torn down and new houses built to needed specifications. $80% of the cost is paid by a HOOT grant. Tenants to Homeowners is looking for collaboration with neighborhood organizations.

ELNA Christina Dahl, Board Member ELNA Michelle Crank, Board Member ELNA Charlie Moore, Board Member ELNA Aimee Polson, Coordinator ELNA Beth Rowlands Joe Bickford Joyce Rizzardi Old Business Minutes Pike read minutes from the 3/13/00 general meeting. Wachspress I Bickford moved to approve the minutes as read. Motion passed unanimously. Treasurer's Report • Operating Expenses Accounts • Free State Credit Union- $535.60 • CDBG Operating Funds- $492.50 • Coordinator- $2080.12 Tiller Report • $30.00 has been added to the tiller fund. LAN Report Wachspress presented report stating that the proposed Home Depot would be on the agenda at the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, May 10, 2000. He asked that anyone who had lost housing or knew someone who had lost housing as a result of the proposed development please speak at the meeting. Polson added that ELNA had been asked to attend the meeting in support of the Farmer's Market relocation to 81h and New Hampshire Wachspress continued with his report declaring that the HAND Advisory Committee had voted to send a recommendation of $4881 for ELNA' s operating budget for the next fiscal year. $5130 was originally requested. Newsletter • Wachspress appreciates hand delivery of newsletters. �• • • • • • • Polson stated that she needed stamps for mail delivery of newsletters outside ELNA boundaries There was discussion over the fact that most operating expenses went towards publishing the newsletters and there was little certainty that the newsletters were actually being read because very few people are responding to requests for meeting attendance or membership. Rowlands !>tated that the purpose of the newsletter was to disseminate information and not recruit members. The benefits (or lack thereof) ofbeing an ELNA member were discussed. Wachspres~ suggested that many Neighborhood Associations get CDBG money and have to use it to meet the requirements of getting the money. He pondered the possibility of losing dependence on CDBG funds. Discussion ensued regarding a possible raffle to raise money in which Free State (for example) might donate a free dinner as a prize. The City has hired a new Neighborhood Programs Specialist, Cindy Nau. Smart Growth Conference • Wachspress asked about stop signs vs. round-abouts. He added that stop signs might add to the noise pollution as trucks are forced to start and stop at the intersection. Sidewalk Grant • • • • • • East Lawrence was cited as having submitted a very well documented sidewalk grant. Congratulations to Michelle, Christy, and Beth. Rowlands volunteered to coordinate maintenance. She met a juvenile officer who offered to provide labor to the cause of cleaning sidewalks. Discussion of using Round-Up led to debate of the toxicity of the substance. Crank said that we should ask permission before spraying the toxic week killer on people's sidewalks. It was decided that Round-Up's active ingredient was a naturally occurring substance that has a short half-life. Wachspress suggested using a power washer. Backus said that cleaning and maintaining sidewalks could have a ripple effect. If each Board Member cleaned there own sidewalks, that might encourage neighbors to do the same and so on and so on. There was reiteration of approval before cleaning someone's sidewalk, especially with Round-Up. Hobbs Park Fund Raiser • Rowlands stated that she felt better asking for pledges as opposed to outright contributions, in case the money doesn't get spent. Alley Lighting • • Rowlands strongly suggested that alleys did not need to be made accessible to the public by lighting them. She added (strongly) that alley lighting often worked to kill the effect or moods created in back yard gardens, if not the garden itself. She said (strongly) that lighting was her mission, and that it was why she attended neighborhood meetings. Tony requested that the pro's and con's of alley lighting be addressed in the next newsletter. �Laundry Mat • It's use is grandfathered. Who, if anyone, wants to take responsibility for it? And what is the owner doing with it? New Business Decision Making Procedures within the Board • Prompted by a discussion with Bo March concerning a grant proposal for a community garden that was not submitted, Backus asked: 1. What is the proper decision making procedure within the Board? 2. What is the purpose of the Board? 3. How much energy do we have to invest in the Neighborhood Association? 4. Are we too dependent on City Funds? Regarding: 1. Pike made an Executive Decision concerning the grant proposal. 2. Pike suggested that each Board Member had their own agenda, and that there was no one goal of the Board. 3. Everyone has other jobs, families, etc. and that energy devoted was often determined by availability 4. Bickford mentioned issues that other Neighborhood Associations were dealing with such as the traffic south of campus, neighborhood walking tours, and bars. Backus asked that the there be a formal Coordinator's Report at subsequent meetings. Byers I Dahl moved to adjourn the meeting. The motion was unanimously approved.

New Business Sweetheart Garage Sale • Ardys Ramberg described a barn that has fallen in disrepair in the 800 block of New Jersey. This barn is in need of a new roof, which the owners cannot afford.

He would like to get our opinion on the project before moving forward. • Joe Bickford pointed out that the next business to move in may not be agreeable with the neighborhood. • ELNA questioned if it could it be a home-based business, leaving the zoning as residential. Commercial use on review is another possible means for rezoning. ELNA suggested contacting Dennis Ens linger. There was no opposition to Jeff Fuitier's proposal voiced by ELNA.

Proposed Parking Lot at • • • • • • • • • • • • • 11th Street and Rhode Island Count Commissioner Jerry McElhaney attended the board meeting to discuss county plans and answer questions about the possibly building a parking lot at 11th Street and Rhode Island. County owns three lots on Rhode Island: two empty lots and one with house (currently used for .;torage). It has had these Jots for ten to fourteen years. The county has other storage locations outside of city and is looking at obtaining a new storage facility, perhaps by the 4H fairgrounds. County has voted to have another court in this courthouse and for additional services, both of which will need parking nearby. County is now renting parking, so it is now fiscally asking why should it be renting when they own this land. County is not thinking it would be only parking lot but parking and parklgreen space, but this is just in round-table discussions currently. Jerry McElhaney is not advocating any one plan; they are just looking at various possibilities. While he was campaigning he found that county courthouse parking is a major concern and it will need more room if more police/sheriff are hired. The house and barn on north end of the lots on Rhode Island are privately owned by heirs of previous tenant but it is has remained empty for many years -County Commission must have I OOo/~ vote in favor for parking lot in order for it to pass. Barn on site is an old livery barn (perhaps the last in the area); Mark Kaplan would like to have it put on the historic register. Jerry McElhaney has mentioned this to the other commissioners and he agrees that it has history. The county might be interested in assisting in the restoration barn. [f the parking or parking/green space issue moves forward for this location, Jerry McElhaney would like to sec it include some sort of historic marker for this livery stable. County will not have parking available at the new lot at 9'h Street and New Hampshire, but the city municipal court will. A parking lot at this location could also be used for Art in the Park and summer band nights at South Park. The East Lawrence Neighborhood Association has fought this parking-lot proposal in the past as it would like to keep the neighborhood with a home-owner orientation- the other homes on the block are resident owned. A parking lot would reduce the cohesiveness of that portion of neighborhood by removing the buffer zone between parking/commercial and residential zoned areas. 2 �August 8, 2001 • • The county realizes that the Rand Allen parking lot (Allen Press) at II th Street and Massachusetts may be a future option. Aimee Polson will add this topic to the next newsletter. Train Station • Dennis Enslinger requested letter from Ardys Ramberg stating how excited the neighborhood is about the investigation of using the Santa Fe depot as a city transportation hub. This would include bus (local and Greyhound), trains and bikes (trails could be built along an abandoned train track spur). This letter is needed by April I 0. • City is seeking grant seed funding • Renovation and restoration will keep the building and bring revitalization to the area. • City is applying for seed grants to research and learn how the plan would be most feasible. • East Lawrence residents need to know the if there will be an increase in traffic, the neighbors' input, how large will the bus station be allowed to grow. • Ardys Ramberg tried to reach the neighbors but has not been able to reach many of them. • The ELNA letter will state that we are not yet endorsing the plan to create this traffic hub but are .~ndorsing the grant to gather information for a business plan and start a feasibility study. • Aimee Polson will add this topic to the next newsletter.

Ramero knows the current owner of this house and bam, Ray Bartl and who lives on 2305 Vermont. 1 �August 21, 2001 • • • • • • • • • • • KT Walsh researched the history of the house and barn in a attempt to place it on the historic register. It was owned by an Irish family in the 1870s. One week before the house was due to placed on the registry someone convinced the owner that it would not be in his best interest. Mark Lehman will take the historical information to the LP A Joe Bickford's aunt owns another house on the block and has been approached by the county. It has been suggested that ELNA take a proactive stance on what should be built on the block. Some suggestions for alternative use I . Habitat for humanity infill. ') A homeless shelter, but not an ugly block structure 3. A garden or greenspace. 4. KU student architect student housing project. 5. Lawrence/Douglas County Housing Authority, who works with the county, could create a project on the lots, despite the fact that they prefer scattered housing. The Property is R2 zoned, however it county owned. The neighborhood is concerned that it may be granted zoning changes without the formal process. Karen Hawk stated that there are three houses from the 1800s on the block that could be added to the historic register. Karen Hawk and Anne Patterson will talk to the homeowners. New regulations are being written for new laws giving tax breaks for historically registered rehabilitated homes. (House Bill #21 28) Julian Dahl moved and Dylan McNamara seconded that ELNA sends a letter to the county eommission, the city and LP A, formally stating that all present at this meeting are against a parking lot at 1100 Rhode Island. /\nn Patterson motioned and Marci Francisco seconded an amendment to the above motion stating that we want to maintain the residential character of the present R2 zoning. This motion was unanimously approved. Julian Dahl moved and Jean Ann Pike seconded that ELNA write a letter to LPA and copy Mark Kaplan, requesting that they purchase the house and barn at 1106 Rl for preservation. The vote result was all in favor with one abstention. The owner of the house and barn should be contacted about the possibility of placing it on the historic register. New Business Old Laundry Mat 12 and CN • • • • • • • • • • Odessa Shorter lived in Lawrence for eighteen years and returned this winter. She has purchasing the laundry mat at 12 Street and Connecticut and would like to convert the building into a cafe with some convenience items such as bread and toilet paper etc. The building is in disrepair and will require a fair amount of work. The cafe would serve home cooked items such as casseroles, fried chicken, catfish and the menu would change from day to day. She building is zoned R2 due to the time it has been closed so she is applying for rezoning. On June 27 she will officially request for CJ or C2 zoning for a small business. She is leaning toward Cl which is more restrictive, allowing fast food but not drive through. Odessa Shorter does not want to increase the current parking but would not mind sharing parking with the church across the street if additional parking is required. During the zoning request procedure the city suggested that she address ELNA. Ed Tato moved and Mark Lehmann seconded that ELNA write a letter in support of Odessa Shorter's request of CI zoning at 409E 12'h. The motion passed unanimously.

The funds in the Free State checking account increased from tiller fees and membership dues collected. Barn Rennovation • • • The owners of the bam were told $700 would be required for materials and to remove the debris. I.P A agreed to donate the extra funds needed. As the bam roof may need to be rebuilt from rafters up, the repairs might run more than was e>riginally expected. ELNALogo • • Bill Wachspress would like to make a presentation on what is required for a good logo. He is working on a logo for ELNA, but is not ready to present it yet. March Newsletter • After additional discussion, pursuing the matter of the undelivered March newsletters with the post office has been dropped. 1 �August 21, 2001 Sidewalk Grant • Aimee Polson will follow-up on the status of sidewalk grant repairs that were granted ELNA. Salvation Army and Lots at 11th Street and Rhode Island • • • • • • • • • • • The Salvation Army was not at the last meeting because they didn't know where or when last meeting was to be held. Ardys Ramberg updated the Salvation Army with ELNA's take on the neighborhood consensus: two home-owners that were at the meeting would accept a gym and/or transitional housing in the empty lots at 11 111 Street and Rhode Island, but they knew of one neighbor that would be against it. These two homeowners, and the other neighbors in their opinion, would not want a homeless shelter for transients. Aimee Polson brought letters to Salvation Army and County Commission, which the board rroofread. KT read articles on the house and barn at 11th Street and Rhode Island, their history and previous attempts at gaining recognition for their historical status in 1987. Douglas County would have to approve any homes going on the historical register. LPA would probably not buy the property, but the letter on which they were copied should bring this house back to the forefront. Dennis Ens linger suggested that we emphasize the positives of the covered parking garage that is already being built: cool in summer and safe from snow & hail. Dennis Enslinger also suggested asking residents to leave the street parking for county workers; but the board is unsure this would work as shoppers may take those spots during the day and the residents would be put out in the evening. Bill Wachspress would like to know if the neighboring church and the county could both share their parking lots. If we put forth a petition about the building a new parking lot, we would need a majority of county residents. At the March 28 meeting, County Commissioner Johnson suggested that we make a trade with Douglas County: if they keep this house and barn as historical registers, we will allow parking in the other lots. Bill Wachspress stated his fear this would set precedence that the city and/or county would continue to move into residential neighborhoods. The general meeting was unanimous that we would not give in. It was suggested to Ardys Ramberg that Aimee Polson work with Margene Swarts to learn what more can be done to deter the building of a parking lot in these lots at 11th Street and Rhode Island. New Business Lawrence web site • • Julian Dahl was unable to find ELNA listed as a neighborhood association and volunteered to update the Lawrence web site by creating a page for ELNA Doug Byers stated that he had found outdated information on ELNA at Jawrence.com.

County Commissioner Johnson is suggesting making a compromise with the neighborhood by placing the barn a historic register, but does not necessarily want to keep the house or other outbuildings as well. County Commissioner Jones does not think tl1ere is enough public neighborhood support to build a parking lot at this location. Mark Kaplan would want the house, barn and outbuildings retained on a historic register. ELNA needs to have block meeting with the residents of this block of Rhode Island. KT Walsh will organize a meeting for Sunday, July 15 at 7 PM at South Park Community Center. Julian Dahl will discuss the topic with Ray Barland, who owns the house and barn.

Mark Lehmann is requesting a variance to a 5-foot setback. A 5-foot setback would make the Penn House and Old Home Depot 17 feet apart. If variance is not granted, the warehouse space will be built up, not across. This style would not fit in with the style of the neighborhood, but would still allow the necessary warehouse space. Mark Lehmann will be meeting before zoning board on September 8. As ELNA has not had a chance to get public comments, the board decided that a letter will be written stating that it will support Penn House's opinion and neighborhood opinion, but at this time is not opposed.

The Great Light Debate As we discuss what kind, how many, and what type of lights should or shouldn't go up in the East Lawrence Neighborhood, streets and alleys remain dark. Please do your part to brighten up your neighborhood by keeping porch lights on at night. There are many light bulbs and fixtures available to minimize the cost of extended use. Call a local hardware store, or ELNA at 832-6497, for suggestions on economical ways to keep streets lit and safe. To remove those pesky grass stains, try rubbing the spot between your fingers with a warm soapy solution. If the material is not washable, sponge the spot in irregular strokes with a solution of denatured alcohol and water mixed in equal portions. Another method is to rub the stain with molasses, then wash the spot. Cornell Extension Bulletin, May 1941 �A DIFFERENT KIND OF YARD WORK Grandpa's toolshed.

The Percent for Arts Committee has made applications and background information available online. The September agenda includes: • Discussion of the Journal World's Downtown Project, a J.W. representative will present plans • Cohousing rep., Steve Polson, will share a proposal for a cohousing community in East Lawrence • Consideration of nominees for the ELNA Officers and new Board Members • Update on Hobbs Park Memorial and fund raisini! efforts THE JOURNAL WORLD IS DOING WHAT?!?!?! Things just keep getting bigger and bigger ... at least for the Journal World. They have plans to expand along the east and west sides of the street between 6th and ih and New Hampshire. If you have concerns or curiosities about what is, has, or will be going on, come to the next ELNA General meeting (September 11, 7:00 p.m.) or go to the Journal World main lobby and look at the renderings of the great campus of mass communications. This ball is picking up speed, and the sooner you speak, the louder you'll be. Hello? Submission materials must be received no later than 4 p.m., October 15, 2000.

These rules will not apply to all houses in Lawrence, only those that are located within areas zoned for singlefamily residential use. In the very small shell of a nut, the main points of contention will be presented here for you. FOR: Established neighborhoods are being inundated by rental conversion units for college students who move in, make a mess, and then leave. Young families move west, established schools wither and die. Communities = Business. AGAINST: An unmarried couple cannot have a roommate or houseguest. Rental costs are already backbreaking, this will make it more so. K.U. is central to Lawrence's economy, that includes the students, not just the staff and professors. What makes a family legitimate in the eyes of an ordinance? This ordinance will go before the City Commission in early September. Stop by and watch the excitement. �<P{net~ Kudo's Sometime, when you're with a group ~~ of friends, get a stack of drawing paper ~ and some pens and pencils. Ask each person to draw a picture, but not to show it to anybody. After everyone has finished their drawing, ask them to write a description of what they have drawn. Making sure that no one sees anybody else's drawing, pass the descriptions around and have your friends draw pictures based on the descriptions. When everyone is finished, show the original drawings and see how they compare to those based on the written descriptions. Whose is the best? Whose is the funniest or most different? How could the descriptions be written differently to ensure that all the drawings look more similar?

To add to her enormous list of great acts of humanness, she has put in many hours of talking with area businesses and raising financial and moral support on behalf of the Hobbs Park Memorial. Although she could probably sweet talk the stripes off of a zebra, extracting money from someone's pocketbook is an entirely different ball game, but Ardys managed to bring in over $1000 in contributions. Thank you Ardys. Also, thank you to the individuals and businesses who have contributed to the Memorial Fund. COHOUSING CHOOSES EAST LAWRENCE Ending an extensive search for their project site, the growing Lawrence cohousing community selected property in historic East Lawrence. With help from Seattle consultant Chris ScottHanson, the group chose 3 1/4 acres at 121h and Delaware, including the McMillen House at 1208 Delaware. East Lawrence provides comfortable proportions and a sense of community, both highly valued by the group, reported spokesperson Steve Polson at the August Board Meeting. Cohousing communities are founded by families and households seeking to live in greater connection with their neighbors. Although developed as townhouses, cohousing presents neighbors with the advantages of singlefamily housing: the units are resident-owned and clustered together to leave park-like open space. The group plans to restore the landmark 1870 McMillen House. To learn more about this project, come to the open house Sunday, September 17th, 24 p.m., at the Lawrence Cohousing site, at 1208 Delaware. Want to be a member of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association. Send $1 to: ELNA, P.O. Box 442393, Lawrence, KS 66044 and you're in. You can also join if you come to the meeting on September 11th and pay a buck. Don't forget to tell us who you are. �Preparing for its relocation to Hobbs Park, Dan Rockhill and Assoc., encase the house in a wood "box" to minimize damage · the move. By a rare spark of luck, I got to watch some of moving day for the MurphyBromelsick house a couple of weeks ago. It was great to be among the starers, as the house s I o w I y (and I mean that) turned the corner of 11th and Pennsylvania. I learned a thing or two that day about what is involved in moving a house. (If you don't know what to do, apply soap.) I also learned a thing or two about what Lawrence residents think about this town and how it is changing. Sadly, I had to return to work, so I left after 45 minutes of socializing and wincing at every creak and wiggle coming from the monumental union of truck and house. I would like to thank Mark Kaplan and everyone else who has put so much work into founding this memorial. I am sure the effort will come back 100 fold in appreciation and awareness of the roles that Lawrence and its earliest settlers played in the Civil War and the Tons of progress, but boat loads more work. The Hobbs Park Memorial is being established as a tribute to John Speer in particular and to Lawrence's earliest settlers in general. These are people who understood the potential impact that Kansas would have on the abolitionist movement, and who worked to ensure that Kansas would under no circumstances promote the enslavement of any person. The East Lawrence Neighborhood Association would like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who have donated time and money towards completing this project. We would also like to stress that more money is needed to really make this thing work as well as it could - about $50,000 more. Collect all of the loose change hanging around the house and send it in. Give any support that you can, and then you can tell your grandchildren that you too are an important part of Lawrence's history. �J t. East Lawrence Neighborhood Association P.O.

The consequence is that people often don't have enough notice about certain events, especially neighborhood meetings, to make plans to attend. After discussing this issue with an East Lawrence resident, the suggestion was made to try to e-mail the newsletter to those who would like it. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for newsletters, please call Aimee Polson at 832-0232 or e-mail eastlawrence@yahoo.com.

This year, the City of Lawrence expects to receive about $1,100,000 in Conununity Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. CDBG money is provided from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through cities to groups and individuals who work to meet the goals of the program. These goals are to: 1) Principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons as defined by HUD; and 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. In addition to meeting these federal criteria, the City Commission has requested that all approved projects meet the strategy addressed in "Step Up to Better Housing," which is essentially a targeted list of ways to achieve the previous two goals. The list is divided into 4 categories: emergency housing, permanent housing, transitional housing, and revitalized neighborhoods. Neighborhoods who apply for funding are asked to: • Provide continued revitalization in target neighborhoods. • Provide continued environmental code enforcement. • Provide education for homeowners and renters. • Promote neighborhood improvement. • Improve existing housing stock. • Encourage neighborhood associations • Define sidewalk fund procedures. • Continue crime prevention. • Ensure that housing complies with the Uniform Housing Code. • Favor mixed-income development. • Meet Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair Housing Act requirements. • Support public/private partnerships. The grant application has now arrived and it is time to speak now or forever hold your peace. If you have any suggestions for funding, come to the General Meeting on Monday, November It", 7 p.m. at New York Elementary School and share your ideas. Current suggestions include funding for grass seed, a library of how-to guides for home repair, funding for the removal of spotty paving over predominantly brick streets, sidewalk repair, and trash pick-up. Furnace Loans Available through City Homeowner Rehabilitation This program assists homeowners with replacement of existing heating sources with an approved energyefficient furnace. A second mortgage or personal property lien must be signed to secure the loan. There is no interest or payments. Loan is repaid when recipient ceases to he the owner-occupant of the property. This program assists homeowners with rehabilitation of their homes. The intent is to rehabilitate the home to bring it up to code, not to remodel it to make it more presentable. A maximum of$25,000 may be loaned to homeowner to repair such things as furnace, chipped/peelings paints, rotting wood, termite damage, etc. A second mortgage is placed on the home to secure the loan. The City forgives up to 50% of the loan after a seven-year period as long as the homeowner remains in the home. Monthly payments of $50 are made. If one is over 62 years of age, a defened loan is granted and will be repaid when the home is sold. The 50% forgiveness also applies to the deferred loans. Applications are accepted year-round. For more information contact Lany Hamm, Rehabilitation Specialist, at 832-3 114. Join ELNA Become a voting member of your neighborhood association. Send $1 to: ELNA, P.O. Box 442393, Lawrence, KS. You can also join if you come to the meeting on November lt" and pay one-dollar. Applications are accepted year-round.

Box 442393 Lawrence, KS 66044 Pay Homage to the Man Who Gave Us Peanut Butter "It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success." -George Washington Carver It is rare to find a man of the caliber of George Washington Carver. A man who would decline an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year (almost a million today) to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen. Agricultural chemist, George Washington Carver invented peanut butter along with over three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Countless products we enjoy today come to us by the way of Carver. Only thre~ patents were every issued to him, but among his listed discoveries are: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Excerpted from www.inventors.miningco.com East lawrence Needs You This is it folks. The ELNA Board elections are this Monday, November 12 at 7:00p.m. in the New York Elementary School library. Many people call or write wanting things done, or asking why something hasn't been done yet, and it's great because it means they want something better and are not interested in the status quo. But now it's time to act. According to its by-laws, the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association needs to have 10 Board Members. At least 5 of them are leaving ... maybe 7. If you don't want the organization to fold, now would be a great time to come forward and serve your community, your neighbors, and yourself. It only takes a couple of hours a month and you get to meet all sorts of interesting people that you probably didn't even know lived near you. You will be amazed at what you will learn about your city and your neighborhood. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Specifically we were able to fulfill our pledge to the Hobbs Park Memorial Project, as well as raise funds for New York Elementary School. The sale would not have been successful without the help of Don Kantorv, Janel Hinrichsen, Nancy Oderkirk, Christy Brandt, John Gary Brown, all the wonderful musicians, and many other people. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to the sale by donating food, art, time, and other items, and to those of you who came and bought the wide variety of sundries being offered at the sale. Everlasting gratitude to the hyper-creative Anne Patterson for drawing the above image for the new East Lawrence tshirts. Anne is an East Lawrence transplant who graces us with her stunning humor, talent, and flags. Thank you!! Equally stunning was the offer by Sun Creations to print the t-shirts at no cost. Their offer was unsolicited, and their spontaneous generosity allows East Lawrence to provide shirts to those who dare to brave the lovely spring weather for its annual neighborhood clean-up (hint hint).

My Career by Jarelle Taylor College - football and studying Loud crowds - cheering and whistling Spiral catches floating to my hands Congratulations from my teammates Shoulder, thigh, and shin pads protect my bones Win or lose both teams do great East Lawrence Loses Local Legend Billy Hunsinger, a lifelong musician who played what he called "hobo" music, died Saturday in the house where he was born at 1132 N.Y. He was 70. Hunsinger began to play guitar at age 9 or 10, and after high school he formed Billy Hunsinger and the Drifting Hobos. During the week, the group played live on radio stations in Lawrence, Atchison and Leavenworth. Weekends, it lit up nightclubs and dance halls. From 1956 to 1964, he ran The Billy Hunsinger Music Co. at 729 1/2 Mass., where he sold instruments and taught lessons using a color-coded chart and method he developed and patented. In the mid-1960s, he began to lose interest in music and operated Hal's Steak House. By the late 1960s, failing health forced him to retire. In the 1980s, Hunsinger came back on the Lawrence music scene with the formation of The Lonesome Hobos. "What I loved about the Hobos is we were willing to play for free," said bandmate Dalton Howard. "Money was never an issue. It was a free feeling being around Billy because you could be yourself, and we all felt that way, He was a big man. He's gonna leave a big hole in our own lives, but he left us a lot to fill it with," Howard said.

A space was found in East Lawrence that was large enough to house this business with a staff of 6 people. In less than one year, Sun Creations had outgrown that space and moved to its current location at 826 Pennsylvania. The staff size has grown to 22, and they are expecting to add more in the near future. Sun Creations prints between six and ten thousand shirts a day with ten major accounts that make up 70% of its business. A new automatic press is planned that will be the biggest in Kansas, enabling them to do things other screen printers in the region cannot currently do. Gene Wayenburg, owner of Sun Creations, says he chose East Lawrence as the location for his business because of the affordable rent, pre-existing business space, and proximity to employee residences, many of whom ride their bikes and skateboards to work. We look forward to a long and prosperous future for them in the East Lawrence Neighborhood. June 22- 20TH ANNUAL ST.

I'm one of your local artists. One work of mine is at the East Lawrence Recreation Center just east of 15th and Haskell. The sculpture is hanging in the commons and game rooms. I like to sing, too. I join Rick Frydman and fellow East Lawrence neighbor Roger Holden for electric campfire music in the trio Jolly Ranchers. I get to sing jazz standards with Acme Jazz Co. I believe our neighborhood is very, very special. I hope to take time to record stories from its past, but it's difficult to make that time. Anyone want to help? I think I need a bit of prodding. More here in the "bio" mode: I grew up in Kansas City, Kansas in the Turner area. It's an area with residual farmsteads tucked in among the wooded hills. When I was a child there was a horse in the pasture next door. Houses continue to be built throughout the area, but I'm pleased that it hasn't changed incredibly. Dad worked for TWA keeping planes in the air. He took 'em up when they didn't fly properly to diagnose what their problems were. I'm glad we had him as long as we did. He and mom took the family camping in Colorado a lot, and we flew around the country quite a bit, too, as we had free passes. Went to college at Kansas State U. and ended up here working at Off the Wall Hall and The Cornucopia and soon after, Goldmaker's, as a wax carver. I still work at G.'s one day a week. Otherwise, I do commission works mostly ... from 812 New York Street. I live there with my husband Karl and our swell kiddo, Zoey. I'm a lucky gal. Bill Wachspress The East Lawrence News was in our screen door when Lori and I moved into the neighborhood in 1993. It was election week. I've been on the board ever since, and now represent East Lawrence to the Neighborhood Resources Advisory Committee and the Lawrence Assoc. of Neighborhoods. I have a BA in Architectural Studies from KU with a concentration in Design. I never seem to be around when "Balloonman" appears to twist balloons into all sorts of toys. 1 do less magic, juggling, fire-eating, tightrope-walking, and trapeze than I used to, since I discovered boomerangs. I make them, throw and catch them, and am the only Kansan competing in tournaments.

The goal is to require any firm that gets a tax break, to keep its workers out of poverty by paying them a living wage. We define a living wage as enough to keep a family of three 30% above the poverty level. In 2002, that translates into a wage of $9.39 per hour, plus health benefits. Living Wage Facts The buying power of the U.S. minimum wage is now 30% below its peak in 1968, and the share of wealth of the poorest 20% has declined since the early 1970s. In the same period, the average hourly wages for non-supervisory workers fell 9 percent, despite a productivity increase of over 50 percent. The figure of $9. 14/hour plus health benefits is a reasonable and appropriate requirement for businesses that receive tax abatements. The total yearly pay for full-time workers at that rate is $19,011. The living wage will enable future employees of large firms in Lawrence to live above poverty. It will benefit other Lawrence businesses by putting real dollars in the pockets of traditionally low-wage workers. It is well known that such workers will spend those dollars in the local economy, largely for their immediate material needs. The living wage will protect our small businesses in Lawrence that have not had the benefit of attractive tax abatements. We do not believe the city should subsidize big businesses that pay poverty-level wages to compete with our downtown and smaller businesses. Finally, the living wage may increase public resources in the future by reducing workers' dependence on social services and other benefits for the economically disadvantaged.

More School Board Meetings to Discuss Possible School Closures There will be at least three more study sessions of the USD 497 Board of Education (BOE) with DLR Group, the consulting agency doing a district wide facilities assessment study. These study sessions are open to the public, but are not meetings designed for public input These dates are: July 23'd, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., BOE Conference Room, USD 497 District Headquarters, 110 MacDonald Drive; August 51h, 3:00-6:00 p.m., BOE Conference Room; and September 181h, 11:00 a.m. -2:00p.m., BOE Conference Room. At. 9:00 a.m , September 18th, the county and city commissioners will be meeting with BOE members to hear a joint presentation by DLR on their recommendations to the School Board at the BOE Conference Room. The significance here is that these study sessions give attendees the opportunity to observe all of our elected officials with regard to how they deal with these recommendations. They should also help neighborhood associations understand the potential consequences of DLR advice on the continued maintenance or closure of elementary schools in Lawrence. Knowing DLR's initial recommendations is critical, because there will be at least three more meetings with various neighborhood organizations in between these study sessions, and association leaders will be better able to direct their comments in a constructive and informed arena. rather than left guessing until the public media gets around to chewing up this information.

The Saga of the Rhode Island As many of you have heard, the County Commission recently held a meeting to revisit the topic of the lots near the corner of 11th and Rhode Island. The county currently owns the empty lots as well as the house in the foreground which they currently use for storage. There has been a long-standing proposal from the county to raze the house and turn the lots into a parking lot. As can barely be seen in the picture, a county employee has already decided to use it as such. The neighborhood has held that it would prefer to have housing on these lots, drawing a "line in the sand" at Rhode Island Street as the easternmost edge to which downtown should grow. Many residents and neighbors attended the meeting speaking in favor of housing, but nothing was resolved and alas the debate is destined for another continuation ... again. We will let you know of any possible movement toward a conclusion, and any lack of movement too. �PRSRT STD U.S. Postage East Lawrence Neighborhood Association P.O.

Welcome Back to School Brainteasers 0 Jemal, Lara, and Oren were making a giant sand castle on the beach. They had 4 buckets: 2 red buckets that carry 3 lbs of sand each, 1 blue bucket that carries 5 lbs of sand, and 1 orange bucket that carries 7 lbs of sand. They took turns carrying full buckets of damp sand back to their sand castle spot. Altogether, they made 12 trips to the water's edge to get the damp sand. Jemal made 4 trips, carrying two buckets each time. He used every possible combination of colored buckets. Oren made 1 less trip than Jemal, using the blue and orange buckets each trip. Lara used the two red buckets for each of her trips. How many pounds of sand did they haul from the water's edge to their sand castle spot? @ The 4 dozen campers in the junior division live in 6 differently colored cabins along Miller's Pond. The smallest cabin has 6 campers, and the orange cabin is the largest with 10 campers. The yellow and green cabins are the only cabins with the same number of campers. The 13 youngest campers are in the red and blue cabins with the least number of campers. The purple cabin has 2 more campers than the blue cabin. How many campers are in each cabin? @ Bryce, Duane, Julianna, and Sonya share a 40 feet by 48 feet rectangular portion of the community garden in their neighborhood. Within this space, each has their own rectangular garden plot. Bryce is the only one with a square plot. Its area is 1/2 the area of Duane's.

Historic Districts Every once in a while the subject of historic preservation comes up in this newsletter. Well, we're doing it again. This time, it will be accompanied by a discussion with Dennis Enslinger, Lawrence/Douglas County Historic Preservation Planner. At this month's general meeting, November 11th, Dennis will be sharing information about historic preservation districts and the progress that has been made towards the establishment of these districts throughout Lawrence. What is an historic district? An historic district is a special area established by City Ordinance or National Register Nomination, with defined boundaries, which contain a high concentration of historically and/or architecturally significant buildings. An historic district is a group of historic resources that are deemed significant as a collection of structures. The principal purpose of the district is to protect significant buildings within its boundaries from unnecessary or insensitive destruction, alteration or removal. The Old West Lawrence Historic District and the Oread Neighborhood Historic District are examples of historic districts. Why is it important to designate historic districts? Safeguarding the city's historic, aesthetic, and cultural heritage helps to stabilize and improve property values in historic districts, encourages civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past, protects and enhances the city's attractions for tourists, thereby benefiting business and industry and strengthening the city's economy and promotes the use of landmarks for the education, pleasure and welfare of the people of the city.

CDBG money is provided from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through cities to groups and individuals who work to meet the goals of the program. These goals are to: If you have something that you would like to donate or trade, contact 8320232 or eastlawrence@yahoo.com. 1) Principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons as defined by HUD; and 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. In addition to meeting these federal criteria, the City Commission has requested that all approved projects meet the strategy addressed in "Step Up to Better Housing," which is essentially a targeted list of ways to achieve the previous two goals. The list is divided into 4 categories: emergency housing, permanent housing, transitional housing, and revitalized neighborhoods.

ELNA Adopts Families for Holidays Prompted by an article written in the Journal World in late November about the number of families in need of support during the holiday season, ELNA decided to chip in and do what we could to help. To gauge neighborhood support, an email went out to those enrolled in the ELNA email list. After receiving a large pool of positive responses, we went to the Penn House to request a family for adoption. We selected two very small families to ensure that we would not overextend our resources. Quickly we were able to adopt another small family. Once we got everything for these families organized, we realized that we had enough money left to adopt a rather large family of 6. In the end, we were able to adopt two single mothers with one child each, one couple and their child, and one single mother with 5 children. It was remarkable that after barely more than 2 weeks, more than 40 people came forward offering to help. Thanks to residents, business owners, friends, and Ed Tato, ELNA managed to raise about $2000.00 for families in need. Contributors include Architect Dan Sabatini, Capitol Federal Savings & Loan, Thomas Van Holt I Starving Artist Movers, Jane and Bo Harris, Sarah Ruhlen, marci francisco, Linda Lips, Liz Brosius, Janet Good, Nancy Oderkirk, Beth Rowlands, Denise Modin, Anne Tangeman, Kate Klaus, Julie Osborn, Liberty Hall employees, Tim Griffith, Karen Butler, Jeff Barnett, Brett Scott, Tom Eversole, Mike Myers, Jason Fizell, Doug Byers, Mike Riehm, Bret Dillingham, Dawn Tato, Molly Krause, Mickey Ceasar, Adrienne Banks, Christine Boller, Kent Smalter, Bobbi Rahder, the Medusa Poetry Group, Sunflower Cablevision employees, Jean Browne, Jason Ryberg, Jason Fizell, Madeline O'Brien, Ardys Ramberg, Doug Byers, and Liatris Studer. Due to it's success, ELNA hopes to make this an annual event. Thank you so much to everyone who helped to put this together on such short notice. It was an extremely positive experience with an incredibly broad base of support. �Development at 8~ and Pennsylvania Following a September meeting at Hobbs Park addressing concerns about a development proposal in the 800 block of Pennsylvania, a series of questions were presented to developer Bo Harris. An abridged list of the questions and answers are below. If you have not already received, but would like to have complete list of the questions, call Aimee at 832-0232. a What will be bulldozed? At the current time, we would envision bulldozing the existing properties on the west side of Pennsylvania and 1 the current properties on the north side of 9 h Street (east of 846 Pennsylvania). It would include the detailing and tire center (the old salvage yard and building). With added retail, will there be added truck traffic? We don't believe retail will create additional truck traffic. Simply putting the existing buildings to use will probably create traffic. We believe much of this and existing truck traffic would be mitigated with the extension of Haskell along the existing rail spur right-of-way. Where are the $ coming from? Does Bo have silent partners (like Compton's Chicago friends?) This is one of the hardest parts -- to convince lenders that they should invest in East Lawrence. We have no silent partners at this time and will depend on local resources to spur this project forward. Undetermined at this time. We are hoping these changes would be facilitated in cooperation with the East Lawrence Neighborhood through our meeting agendas. We are willing and anxious to continue meeting as we are able to move this project along. Tightening up the streets? Why? (someone suggested looking at fh St., where it's been done) The thoughts regarding "tightening up the streets' was suggested as a facilitation to provide easy pedestrian crossing at currently busy intersections. Water drainage issues? We already have problems (i.e., fh & N.Y.) We are in the yellow zone now, will this move us into the floodplain? One of the most pressing issues in East Lawrence is the drainage issue. As part of getting the city to participate in East Lawrence improvements, we would hope that we would improve the situation rather than make it worse. Lighting? What do we want? We are wanting attractive, non-obtrusive, and safe lighting levels along all pedestrian routes within the neighborhood and particularly those routes connecting East Lawrence with downtown Lawrence. Polk's Oil tanks underground and the oil soaked dirt Isn't that a really expensive clean-up site? So far, the sites that we have had under contract and completed Phase I Will it be innovative? Environmental Studies show that we have There has been a lot of existing conditions that need clean-up ho-hum architecture in work. We are currently seeking sources of funds to help with this expensive endeavor. Lawrence lately. Gentrification - When the property values and taxes go up, will we be able to afford to stay in East Lawrence? How about the elderly? Could he have mixed residential, /ow-income, mid and upscale? They just cut the ribbon on a big development in Kansas City that guarantees mixed income tenants. We would like to have mixed residential as the project moves forward. We are in hopes that our project will create an air of prosperity in East Lawrence. Hopefully, this prosperity would be shared at all levels in the East Lawrence community. We would hope the neighborhood's gain in property values would outweigh the tax burden that may be created by the prosperity. We are doing our best to plan for improvements that will create residential accommodations at various levels. Will it be innovative? There has been a lot of ho-hum architecture in Lawrence lately. For sure. The first thing we hope to do is redevelop and enhance the architecture of the existing facilities. We will be doing our best to enhance the architectural style in the new building that are innovative while keeping in mind the period architecture of the neighborhood Zoning Changes? What is he hoping for? What are the allowed uses and what if 8o's tenants move out and we are left with the worst allowed? Is Bo willing to keep meeting with us? Trucks moving alongside the tracks to fh St. Is this just another way to revive the East Lawrence Trafficway? (Haskell Loop) Would this just be running trucks near somebody else's home? The idea of moving trucks along the existing tracks to 71h is an issue that will take a great deal more neighborhood involvement and City and community participation. We have discussed this in our meetings but it is not part of our project at this time. As the Journal World pushes east, the Downtown too, and now development on our eastside ... are the residents slowly being squeezed out? This Is an Issue that has been discussed in our East Lawrence meetings and this may be a good time for the neighborhood to consider a rezoning of all existing ground currently being used for residential. We think that our plan to utilize the West side of Pennsylvania Street for a mixed use residential will enhance the probability that the current residential will remain residential in East Lawrence. Bo Harris, he will be at the January ELNA general meeting to answer any other questions you may have. �Calendar of Events Jan. 13 • ELNA General Meeting.

The group is currently discussing the project with two local developers. It is also working with the architect to finish the site plan. As part of this effort, with group will meet with the architect sometime in May to revisit the design requirements for the Common House. (A 'common house' is the community center for cohousing projects, normally including such features as a large kitchen and dining room, laundry facilities, a play room (for children), and a mail-room, along with possible additional rooms such as guest rooms, library, exercise room, or office.) The project still has units available for people who are interested in living a development that is designed to enhance social interaction and community. Individuals interested in the project can contact DSC by phone (785-550-0163) or via e-mail at info@delaware-street.com. Information about the project can be found at http://www.delaware-street.com. Conservation Districts and the City of Lawrence In 2001 the City of Lawrence established a zoning category known as the Urban Conservation Overlay District (UCO). One aim of the UCO is to foster development and redevelopment that is compatible with the scale and use of developmenUdesign standards and guidelines. UCO's do not regulate the use of land or the use of buildings or structures. The uses are controlled by the regulations of the underlying base zoning district. An application to establish a UCO district may be initiated by the Historic Resources, Planning, or City Commission. Applications may also be initiated by petition when signed either by the owners of 51% of the area within the proposed district or 51% of the property owners. To find out more call Aimee at 832-0232. Lawrence Waste Reduction & Recycling If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now, these people have a pretty cool website, especially for a government site. Visit http://www.lawrencerecycles.org/, it's good for both kids and adults. If you are unable to go there yourself, this is what it says: - Computers can be recycled at Kansas Computer Recycling (785) 234-4675 in Topeka, The Surplus Exchange (816) 472-0444 in Kansas City, MO, and The Computer Learning Center 841-0333 in Lawrence. - There are three ways to handle your "yard waste": 1) grasscycle, mow it and leave it; 2) compost it; 3) leave it in paper bags for the city to pick up and compost. - The Hazardous Waste Program has expanded its hours. Call them at 832-3030 to schedule a drop-off appointment, label your waste, and drive to the hazardous waste facility. They do not take smoke alarms, explosives, asbestos, infectious waste, unknown materials, or compressed gas cylinders. - Scratch Remover - Dry Mustard and Vinegar. Mix 1 part dry mustard and 1 part white vinegar into a paste. Apply paste to the scratch. Polish with a soft cloth. Avoid eye contact; Dry mustard can be irritating to the eyes. - Remove Water Stains - Make a paste of mayonnaise and wood ashes or cigarette ashes. Apply to water stain. Polish with a soft cloth. - One of the significant sources of pollution in our waterways is stormwater runoff. There are 7,500 storm sewers in Lawrence that collect runoff from driveways, yards, roofs, roads, construction sites, and parking lots. As the water gains in speed and volume, it collects debris, soil, garbage, pet waste, and hazardous waste that eventually channeled into the stormdrain. - Never mix bleach with other cleaners because it creates gasses that can make you sick. �---------·- · - Eastside Community Garden Photo-Progression The University of Kansas Strategic Learning Center The Strategic Learning Center is a non-profit tutoring center dedicated to assisting learners in their academic needs.

Proposed CDBG Budget for Fiscal Year 2003 The public hearing regarding the proposed expenditures was held on April 24th. The Neighborhood Resources Department will be taking public comment until May 26th, 2003. The public comment is not only for CDBG spending, but for HOME Grant allocation and the City's Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan provides a unified vision for community development, examining housing needs of special populations, the availability of affordable housing, the condition of housing in the City, and the housing market. Additionally, the Plan examines the needs for infrastructure, capital improvements, and neighborhood development. It is a five-year strategy. I haven't looked at the consolidated plan in a while, but I have looked at the CDBG spending proposal. It is quite interesting. There is a total of $1,600,000 available this year. The money is divided between public services and capital (structural) improvements. 9% ($148,500) of the money has been directed towards public services, with the rest reserved for capital improvements and $198,000 allotted for administration of the grant for one year. If you would like a copy of the CDBG and HOME spending proposals you can email Aimee at eastlawrence@yahoo.com or stop by the City Neighborhood Resources Department. You can also get a copy of the Consoidated Plan there as well as online at www.lawrenceneighres.org. Join ELNA For Only $1!!!

If you know of a project that could be completed within a day by a few people, please call Aimee at 832-0232, email eastlawrence@yahoo.com, or write to ELNA, PO Box 442393, Lawrence, KS 66044. Include your name and contact information as well as the address and a brief description of the project you have in mind.

The Kansas Sites Board of Review met on February 21 to review nomination of 4 Lawrence neighborhoods plus downtown to the National Register of Historic Places. East Lawrence has two districts that are up for nomination: North Rhode Island includes properties between 7th and 12 Street with a few in the 1200 block, South Rhode Island includes most of the 1200 and 1300 block as well as the 1300 block of New Hampshire. Both East Lawrence Districts were approved for submission to the National Registry, and once the applications are reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Officer they will be forwarded to the National Park Service. Once there, a final decision is expected within 3 to 6 months. What does this mean for you? It could mean several things. One goal of historic registry within the East Lawrence neighborhood is to minimize the impact of the downtown's development. Another is to enhance and maintain the architectural significance of East Lawrence. This is accomplished by eligibility of tax credits for those properties that are deemed contributing to the flavor of East Lawrence. For information on whether your property is eligible and what types of credits are available, call Aimee at 832-0232. The proposed National Register Districts are the result of a process that began in 2001 from interested individuals and neighborhoods. A grant was secured from the Kansas State Historical Society in 2002 to research and prepare nominations for five districts in Lawrence. Sign-up for Community Garden Plot Spring is only a few weeks away, and now is the time to begin thinking about your gardening plans for the year.

The garden is organic and plot sizes are roughly 8 x 12 feet. One plot costs $10/20 depending on your income. All money goes toward water costs. If you are interested in particpating, call Aimee at 832-0232.

Workshops Being Offered on Basics of Growing Food The Kansas/Missouri Growing Growers Program is offering its first two indepth, single-subject workshops this spring, as part of a goal to expand marketgarden production in the Kansas City "food shed" - the land within 100 miles of the greater metropolitan area. "Soil Building for Vegetable and Fruit Crops" will be March 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Lansing, Kan., 4-H Building. "Plant Production for the Vegetable Grower" will be April12 from 4 pm. to 7 p.m. at the St. Clair County Library in Osceola, Mo. "The training part of our program is designed to help people learn what they need to know to get into producing organic, sustainably grown fresh foods. We're targeting both existing and aspiring growers," said Ted Carey, program coordinator and an Olathe-based Kansas State University Research and Extension horticulturist. The workshops also are open to the public. "Advanced home gardeners and horticultural retailers might also be interested in learning more about this approach to growing food crops," Carey said. The series that the two workshops introduce will be led by experienced growers, plus faculty from K-State and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Most of the sessions will include a related farm visit. Workshop registration information is on the Web (btlp;/lwww,gmwlnggmw?Jl?,_Q_rgi). Additional information is available by calling 913-488-1270 ore-mailing <grqw~.r~@k~l.J ,e9_l.J>. Good soils are the basis for growing any organic, sustainable crop. So, they were a natural as the workshop series' lead topic, Carey said. The first workshop will cover: * The basics of soils and soil tests, * The microscopic creatures that help create healthy soil, *The management practices that affect the availability of soil nutrients, and *Making and using compost and "compost tea." The day-long session will end with a tour of a soil-building program in operation at Paul Conway's Leavenworth, Kan., market-garden farm. The cost for attending, including lunch, is $30 in advance and $33 on March 6. April's late-afternoon workshop on growing vegetable crops will cover the basics of getting horticultural plants started, as well as provide insights on how to select top-selling varieties and how to develop a season-long production calendar. It will conclude with a tour of Bear Creek Farm, an Osceola, Mo., certified-organic market garden that produces vegetables, fruits and herbs in a greenhouse, six "high tunnels" and five acres of land. Registration for the vegetable workshop is $15 in advance and $18 on April12. **************************************************************** Growing Growers is planning other workshops for each month through 2004, according to program manager Katherine Kelly. Details will be posted on the Growing Growers Web site as they become available for each workshop. �The still-developing schedule now includes: May- Integrating Meat and Dairy Into Your Vegetable Operation June - Small Farm Health and Safety Practices. July- Slow Down and Taste Your Food August - Pests and Diseases and Weeds September- Post-Harvest Handling Practices November- Mechanization for Vegetable Production December- Selling Your Locally Produced Food Products in Kansas City. Funding for the Growing Growers Program comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture- Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (USDA-SARE). Cooperating in developing the program are K- State Research and Extension, University of Missouri Extension and Outreach, the Kansas Rural Center, and the growers' group that calls itself the Kansas City Food Circle. K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus in Manhattan. Story by: Kathleen W.
