For now, landowners aren't saying much about the case. Phoebe Schneck, who is named as a defendant with her husband, Gaylord Schneck, expressed a typical opinion among the landowners involved in the suit. "My only comment is 'no comment' "Phoebe Schneck said." Rees said that many Lawrence residents had waited for the South Lawrence Trafficway but that the project had run into more problems than usual. If the hearings move quickly, construction on the Trafficway could begin in July. "I've never seen a case where the judge did find that the state asked for too much," Rees said. "We know exactly why we're taking and what we're taking." Rees said this case was unusual because the court usually would set a hearing to determine whether the state needed the land. Trafficway suit may claim land Decision will affect seven landowners By Jamie Munn Kansan staff writer Some Lawrence landowners soon could lose their property if Douglas County officials rule in favor of the Kansas Department of Transportation's condemnation suit. In an effort to expand the South Lawrence Trafficway, the department filed the suit in Douglas County District Court March 10. If the county rules in favor of the department, the landowners in that area would be paid an amount determined by state-appointed appraisers. The land then would become state property. appraisers who would take about 30 days to estimate the properties' worth. Michael Rees, chief counsel for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said he didn't expect much controversy, from the suit, though landowners may argue about future access to the land or the price set by appraisers. A judge would appoint independent "it usually comes down to comparable sales." Rees said. Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kan. After the court decides on fair compensation for the land, the state takes "For the people supporting this, it will be a bright point," Rees said. Six landowners between north 1750 Road and U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence are named in the suit. The state is planning to build a bridge in this area. The landowners are: Swan Management, Michael Stultz, president; Gaylord Schneck Jr.; Dennis McCarthy; Betty Lou Brink; Terrell Graham; Diamond Head Limited Partnership and Ignatius Strecker, Roman Catholic After the land has been appraised, landowners will meet with Lawrence project engineer John Pasley to argue the appraisers' estimates, which will include values before and after the condemnation suit was filed, he said. Freedom Project aims to educate about drugs By Cheryl Cadue Kansan staff writer Lt. Mark Brothers of the Lawrence police department said the community needed to take action against Lawrence drug trafficking, which was a growing problem for the community's children. "There are more sources of drugs being trafficked into Lawrence, Kansas, right now than I would ever begin to try and document," he said. "This town is growing and our problems are growing." Brothers spoke Wednesday to about 30 people who attended a Project Freedom of Lawrence meeting to hear an overview of the substance abuse problem in Douglas County. stance abuse of adolescents in Douglas County. Coalition members sit on any of ten committees including business, schools and youth task force committees, said Lori Johns, project coordinator. The aim of Project Freedom is to prevent sub- "There are lots of little things we can do as a community," she said. "We talk about the problems, but I really think we need to start talking about what might be solutions." Johns said 95 adults and 15 teenagers already were participating on committees. Brothers, a member of the criminal justice committee, said the police department reported an increase of crimes involving gangs, including the Bloods and the Crips from area cities. "This in no one little segment of our community that we've got a problem with," he said. "Our youngsters are facing violence from these groups that are coming in from Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City. Brothers said parents needed to get involved in preventing the substance abuse problem from growing in Lawrence. "This community has got to take a look and ask itself what is more important," he said. "I'm here to tell you that I think it's our children." Jerry Schultz, a Lawrence graduate student who attended the meeting to listen, said the coalition was a good way to combat the problem of substance abuse in adolescents. "This is important because most people don't know what to do," he said. "We have to attack at all levels of the community." natural fiber clothing natural body care products 820-822 Mass St.' 841-0100 Graduation Announcements & Caps and Gowns Jayhawk Bookstore "Your Book Professionals" "At the top of Naismith Hill" Hrs: 8-7 M-Th., 8-5 Fri. 9-5 Sat. 12-4 Sun. 843-3826 THE HARBOUR LIGHTS CLEOPATRA'S CLOSET a unique boutique - Unique Clothing * Hand Blown Art Glass * Sterling Silver Jewelry * Semi-precious Stones * Cool Chokers and Belts 743 Mass.
