Kaspars to help alumna fight battle with cancer

Bonnie Luther felt great when she went in to her doctor's office for a routine check-up.
She left with the knowledge that she had cervical cancer and her life was in jeopardy.
"When the doctor told me, I didn't believe him," Luther said. "I wasn't sick at all or showing any signs that something was wrong."
Luther discovered she had cancer in September, after she had just received her master's degree in social welfare.
After graduation, she had left her job as a waitress at Kaspars Bar and Grill, 3115 W. Sixth St., to start her career as a social worker at Kennedy and Sunflower elementary schools.
But, after that not-so-routine physical, she was left battling
Now, her former co-workers are doing what they can to help.
canceralone—or so she thought.
"I was just shocked when I found out," Tom Conroy, Kaspars co-owner, said. "It's a real tragedy because she's so young and so nice."
Kaspars will host a benefit on Friday, Feb. 28, and all the profits will go to pay for Luther's medical and living expenses, bills that have been piling up for four months.
Luther said she stopped counting when the total surpassed $60,000.
The benefit will have a raffle that will include a basketball signed by the 1998 KU men's basketball team. There will also be a performance by Punk Freud.
"We've never done anything like this before," Conroy said. "But I've been really surprised by the reaction so far."

Frankie Conroy, co-owner of Kaspars, spends time with Luther and takes her to the hospital for treatment whenever she can.
"The help they've given me has been great," Luther said. "Everything they've done has been overwhelming."

Student loses work in crash
OMAHA, Neb. — A University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher watched in disbelief as the space shuttle Columbia appeared to break up as it was approaching its landing scheduled Saturday.
Biochemist Hideaki Moriyama had several experiments on board. He sent small vials of proteins on the mission in hopes of finding important clues about diseases like HIV-AIDS. Huntington's and Alzheimer's.
"I can't believe it," he told The Associated Press by telephone after he watched with fellow researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "I am very much upset. I hope they can salvage something but I don't have any ideas right now."
Creighton University graduate Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Anderson was payload commander on the flight that lost contact with NASA about 8 a.m. CST, nearly an hour prior to its scheduled touchdown in
Florida.
Anderson was one of seven crew members on board the shuttle that was returning from a 16-day journey in space. The crew also included Israel's first astronaut, Ilan Ramon, a colonel in Israel's air force.
Anderson, who has logged more than 211 hours in space, earned a master's of science degree in physics from Creighton in 1990.
"With the rest of the nation and world, we at Creighton University are profoundly saddened by today's tragic loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia," said the Rev. John P. Schlegel, president of Creighton. He said prayers go out for the families of the shuttle crew, especially Anderson's wife, Sandra Hawkins, and his daughters, Sidney and Casey.
Schlegel said Anderson was on campus to receive the Graduate School Alumni Merit Award after his 1998 shuttle mission and was planning a return visit this spring.
"Michael was an exceptional alumnus and a wonderful representative of Creighton," Schlegel said. "He told us after his first Shuttle flight that he was living out his boyhood dream by going into space. Michael Anderson was not only one of Creighton's best, he was one of our nation's best."
It was the first flight of NASA's SPACEHAB Double Research Module, which doubled the volume of research possible on the last mission.
Among the projects were Moriyama's. "We had more than three experiments on board," he said. "It took more than four years to prepare those experiments."
He said the work, however, was in the early stages of his project.
As for the crew and their families, an upset Moriyama said, "I have no words."
He said the disaster meant he would be returning to UNL earlier than expected to resume his work.
