Planning begins on halfway house
Plans will soon be presented to the community for a halfway house in Lawrence by the Douglas County Chapter of the Delaware Crime on Crime and Delinquency (KCCD).
The need for a halfway house was presented to the KCCD in a committee report at the KCCD meeting Wednesday night at the Lawrence Public Library.
A search will be initiated to establish a board of directors to begin the halfway bag.
The feasibility committee reported its findings on the need for and feasibility and the extent to which the project will succeed.
Elaine Vick, feasibility committee chairman, said. "We consider a halfway house in Lawrence feasible, and we consider it necessary."
The halfway house would be for parole and probationers. It would serve as an alternative to jail or prison and as a bridge between the two for someone released from jail or prison.
A halfway house for alcoholics, Asher House, is already established in the community.
Healthy Birthday America is theme of hospital week
Halfway house residents would help pay for their keep by working in the community.
Diane Lee, clinical social worker, is the Med Center's entrant in the Employee of the Year competition. She will compete in a field of 25 employees of Kansas City area hospitals. The winner will be announced at the luncheon.
KANSAS CITY, Kan —Hospitals throughout the country will be stressing Healthy Birthday America” during Health Day Hospital Week, Sunday through Saturday.
A news release from the American Hospital Association (AHA) in Chicago said the emphasis was on asking people to actively join with hospitals in an all-out effort to reach a mutual goal of keeping people healthy.
According to a spokesman in the office of the vice chancellor for hospital administration at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the Med Center will be joining area hospitals in an educational program on health.
Other activities include Hospital Night May 12 at Royals Stadium, and the Employee of the Year Hospital Week Lunchcon. The Hotel has a Alameda Plaza Hotel, Kansas City, Mo.
John Stagl, chairman elect of AHA, will speak at the luncheon.
Traditionally, National Hospital Week is
October 18th. The week in Florence,
Nightingale's birthday fall.
All-hall party tonight
A disco-street party for residents of all residence halls will start at 8 onthe night of June 24.
The party, sponsored by the Association
inversed presidential HAURl), will have
alternate chairmen.
Chuck Wilson, AURH communication coordinator, said there would be a disc jockey providing music, and beer and soft drinks for hall residents.
Nightingale, considered the founder of modern nursing, was born May 12, 1820.
To illustrate hospital advancements, a Hospital Week publication gleaned items from authoritative sources about hospital conditions 200 years ago.
Committee member Donnis Graham,
Lawrence joins subcommittee as a philosophy
specialist.
In it she said that community involvement would be a vital part of the program.
"Prison walls not only keep offenders in, but keep citizens out both mentally and physically."
She said the halfway house hoped to break down those mental walls and foster mutual understanding between halfway house residents and the larger community.
The philosophy report also stated that it cost between $5,000 and $15,000 a year to keep one person in prison or jail. The company cost for a half-way house resident is $6,000.
Because some of the residents might be students at the University of Kansas, and because of its central location, the area between the campus and Massachusetts Street was suggested as a prime location for the house.
It also was suggested by committee members that because of the large number of apartments in the area, a project such as the halfway house could be more easily接入 into the community.
