Water projects aim to better communities

Students from the University's School of Architecture; Design and Planning presented projects that would better a community with Water Charrette.
Water Charrette is a brief, but innovative, designing workshop about water channels and urban farming. Students drew up plans and diagrams and wrote papers about their ideas. The charrette had guidelines to involve water and the community,but the students chose their own concepts and places.
Registration for the Water Charrette event started Thursday. A presentation
and design workshop to assist students with the creation of their projects was hosted Friday, along with an open house showcasing some projects. On Saturday, the projects were presented and students were awarded prizes.
Carrie Rohlman, a freshman from Kingman, and TJ Niemann, a freshman from St. Louis, chose their project to help the community of North Lawrence.
"Ours is called the Giving Garden," Rohlman said. "It starts out at the school, and then it all creates a cycle, which goes back to the food pantry, and then the people that are involved with the food pantry start donating back to the school."
Nolan Fike, a fifth-year senior from Manhattan, Chandler Hanna, a fifth-year senior from Savannah, Mo., and Rosemary Nelson, a second-year graduate student from Tipton, Mo., worked on their Water Charrette project together.
"Our project has a lot to do with renewable energy and it's always a good stemming off point for the semester." Hanna said. "It's a good way to look at what we're going to be doing for the rest of the semester."
Fike said the amount of energy being used to transport food is much more than Lawrence needs to have food on its residents' tables.
"It takes a lot of energy just to get a basic lunch to you, like metra tons of CO $ _2 $
being used just to transport a banana from Mesoamerica up to Lawrence," Fike said. "It's supposed to be as realistic and as close to the real world as possible."
"It's a good way to look at what we're going to be doing for the rest of the semester."
CHANDLER HANNA Senior from Savannah, Mo.
Fike, Nelson and Hanna's project in particular is looking toward bringing more food from the community onto campus.
"A lot of the food on campus is brought in from South America and other places
and we are just wanting to get more local food onto campus," Nelson said.
Niemann said working with the older architecture students on the Water Charrette project was an interesting experience.
"The fourth-year architecture students were very helpful showing us what to do." Niemann said. "They showed us new programs, and really how to break down so many ideas into one specific system."
There was no one winner picked for the Water Charrette contest, but awards were given to different groups for different aspects of their projects.

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. — Two Marine Corps officers killed when their helicopter crashed during a training exercise in the Southern California desert were remembered Sunday as talented pilots.

the only two Marines aboard the UH-1Y Huey helicopter.
"Capt. Kealey and 1st Lt. Satterfield were both outstanding Marine Corps officers and talented helicopter pilots," said Lt. Col. James M. Isaacs, their commanding officer. "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of our fallen Vipers, and we stand poised to support them in this traweed."
Kealey, 32, of Indiana, Pa., was commissioned in
