Mardi Gras, Cajun a la Missouri winery fest
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
There's no need to head to Louisiana to get a taste of Cajun food, Mardi Gras and a fair share of the Heartland's wine.
Just a few hours from Lawrence, Stone Hill Winery & Restaurant will import a sample of the New Orleans traditions this weekend for the Cajun Concert on the Hill and a Mardi Gras celebration.
The festivities at the winery — in Hermann, Mo. — will include live music, dancing and homemade Calau cooking.
On Friday, the winery will showcase Blackie Forestier and the Cajun Aces, who will perform in the Pavilion from 6 to 10 p.m. They'll perform again on Saturday and on Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.
A Mardi Gras celebration will be from 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday in the winery's Pavilion. Homemade jambalaya, red beans and rice

Stone Hill Winery grew to become America's third largest pre-Prohibition wine producer with an annual production of more than 1 million gallons. It was established in 1869.
Admission to the Pavilion is $10 for adults and $2 for children. A two-day pass is $18, three days for $25. Entry to the grounds, which includes a cellar tour and wine tasting is $4 for adults, $1 for children — but they don't get to taste the wine.

Hurricane Roy ravages new media
The news hit Lawrence like a sudden summer thunderstorm.
By Juan H. Heath Special to the Kansan
Roy Williams was leaving Kansas.
Early Friday morning, the Associated Press released the story on its Internet site, www.ap.org, and other electronic media.
Then the torrent of information swelled.
Sites such as ESPN.com, cbssportsline.com and cnnsi.com reacted quickly, adding to the storm's fury.

Soon the Kansan's online editor, Laura Vosez paged me.
ROY WILLIAMS IS LEAVING! , PLS CALL ME!
Then a call from a former reporter, and another from an editor
I had been caught unaware and was being pelted with information; I felt as if I'd been struck by lightning.
Roy Williams was leaving Kansas.
The Kansan newsroom became a storm shelter as current and past staff were
Journalists were not the only ones to jump into the deluge, as online message boards lit up with individual responses.

Like the crosswinds caused by two colliding air masses, Jayhawk and Tar Heel fans clashed electronically.
A post on rockchalk.com read: "When I heard that Roy might be leaving, my stomach started churning. I really hope that he doesn't leave," wrote Wulhawk.
A post on goheels.com by uncbelbe read: "It's Roy, no doubt about it. He will choose UNC if for no other reason to shut others out."
But then the sun peeked through the clouds. Roy Williams denied the AP story, and added his own info to the electronic maelstrom. In a statement posted on the
In a statement posted on the athletic department's Web
site, www.jayhawks.org, Roy said "The Associated Press and ESPN story that I have accepted the job is completely false. I have agreed to talk to Dick Baddour (UNC athletics director) and that is the only thing that has been agreed upon."
Was Roy Williams leaving Kansas?
The storm subsided briefly, but then resumed with renewed force as the media watched and replayed the Friday
evening press conference and

Before the Internet, news like this might not have developed at such a rapidly accelerated pace.
The story would have caused the same stir without the Web, but a newspaper would have had time to contact both
sides before publishing it.

Roy chastised the media for the story. "It was far-fetched, it was fabricated, and it was irresponsible journalism," he said
Does Hurricane Roy prove that the speed at which information spreads on electronic media has gotten out of our control?
Maybe...
Anyway, Roy's decision may be as unpredictable as the Kansas weather.
And why would he want to leave that behind?
