APARTMENT FIRE
Bodies found, cause of fire remains unknown
Members of Lawrence- Douglas County Fire and Medical and the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives work Sunday to remove the body of another victim of the Boardwalk Apartment fire in the 500 block of Fireside Road, off Sixth Street. Investigators found what they believed was a body Sunday morning, and located a second in the afternoon. The cause of the fire remained unknown Sunday.

A fire early Friday morning at Boardwalk Apartments left several buildings destroyed and many residents homeless. Fire departments from Lenexa and Olathe, as well as emergency medical units from Johnson County, came to Lawrence to assist in what was deemed a four-alarm fire.

Investigators found Sunday what seems to be at least two bodies buried in the rubble of the Boardwalk Apartments, which burned in a massive fire Friday morning.
The bodies will be sent to medical examiners in Topeka for verification, said Mark Bradford interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department.
Investigators worked all day Sunday with five dogs from a Missouri search and rescue unit and one dog from the Kansas State Fire Marshal, Bradford said. The dogs located another potential body before a press conference held at the site at 2 p.m. Sunday. Rescue workers were seen carrying away what appeared to be a body about 4 p.m. Sunday.
"The goal of investigators is to find the cause and specific origin."

More than 1000 red balloons covered the streets of Downtown Lawrence Saturday night from spectators attending the Red Balloon To-Do art show.
Red Balloon To-Do gave local artists an opportunity to display their work for an evening at Lawrence businesses and residents' homes.
Attendees were encouraged to donate a dollar for the price of admission, and in exchange, they received a red balloon. The balloon granted admission to every venue and the money will be used for next year's show.
Jill Kleinhans, owner of Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 East Eighth St., has coordinated the Red Balloon ToDo since 2003. She said the idea for it began when a few friends who were a part of the Lawrence Art Collective
a group of local artists who shared space in the Grimshaw Gallery approached her with the idea of a community-wide art event.
"It's all about getting people active," Kleinhans said. "Whether you are an established artist or you just do蛋糕 in coffee shops, it's a way for people to show their work and socialize with like-minded artists."
Thomas Czar, Albuquerque,
N.M., senior, said he enjoyed
seeing the balloons.
As for the balloon aspect, Kleinhans said it was just a creative alternative to buying tickets.
"It adds charm to the event."

apex," Deman said. "Recently it has just gotten a real power behind it."
This was her first time ever showing her works in public. She said the event provided her a great opportunity as an artist.
Angela Kerner, Hutchison sophomore, had her paintings displayed in the Olive Gallery.
"This is definitely a good starting point for me," Kerner said. "People can see my work and contact me and I'll just go from there. Now I'm going to try to look into where else I can show my work."
Red Balloon To-Do had eight venues this year.
Last year it had only six. More than 160 artists showed their work at the event, which doubled the number from two years ago.
