Short notice causes eligible recipients to miss free cheese distribution at Salvation Army
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
More than 100 Lawrence residents, some of whom earn less than $670 a month, missed Thursday's free cheese distribution at the Salvation Army because it had only two days to notify people of the distribution.
Unice Beers, a caseworker for the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., said she received notice late Tuesday afternoon from the Council on Community Services of Douglas County that a food distribution would be held.
Announcements were then made Wednesday on a local radio station, Beers said. But the notice that was supposed to appear Wednesday in the Lawrence Daily Journal-World did not appear until Thursday, the day of the distribution. Beers did not know why the notice was late.
"I expected about 150 people to show up, she said. "But only 40 at most."
BEERS SAID THAT there would be another distribution from 1-4 p.m. Thursday for the people who were supposed to attend a football game at the Army last week.
Beers also said that she was concerned about the way in which people were notified about food distribution.
"Many people don't take a newspaper because they can't afford it," she said. "Other people don't listen to the news, but know how else to get the news to them."
"I am concerned with people getting better knowledge about the food distribution."
Louise Silber, the interim director of the Council on Community Services of Douglas County, notified the Salvation Army area agencies of the food distribution.
"This week's distribution did get fouled up because of the short notice," Silber said yesterday. But Silber sailed she did not know that there would be any food available until the beginning of Social and Rehabilitation Services notified her.
services here. "We got a less than 24-hour notice that the cheese would be available," she said.
THE CHEESE WAS distributed Thursday evening at the Salvation Army and at the East Lawrence Center, 15th and Brook streets. The cheese also was distributed morning at the Perkins Park, 1035 pennsylvania St., and Friday afternoon on the Maryland Community Center, 708 Elm St.
Besides the cheese that will be distributed Thursday at the Salvation Army, cheese will also be served at the Lawrentens Center, 745 Vermont St.

BILBAO, Spain - King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia flea by helicopter over the Basque provinces yesterday for a close up inspection of floods that left at least 32 people dead in northern Spain and southern France.
National police rushed to restore order to food lines set up in the builr ring in hard-hit Bilboa. Hundreds of men, including soldiers, pushed mushing to the front, authorities said.
A Spanish naval destroyer loaded with blankets and provisions steamed toward Bilbao, where the flooding Nervion River left hundreds of families without food or shelter.

Another 16 to 20 were reported missing on both sides of the Pyrenees in what authorities said was the worst accident in the region in three decades.
RESCUE TEAMS IN Spain's northern region worked their way into dozens of villages isolated for two days by raging waters from rivers fed by the torrential rains.
Spanish National Radio counted 27 dead in the Basque region and three neighboring provinces.
Rescue workers in Vizcaya, Santander, Alava, Navarra, Oviedo, Burgos and Guipuzco — hampered by downed powerlines, uprooted roads, collapsed bridges and flooded roads — fought their way into the heavily wooded, mountainous interior to reach isolated towns.
Relief supplies from throughout Spain continued to arrive. The king and Queen Sofia flew to Vitoria in Alava province where the couple boarded an air force helicopter to view the damaged areas.
In southern France's Basque country, officials said five people were killed and four were missing. French Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy and Interior Minister Gaston Derefere were to visit the area.
DAMAGES TO THE seven affected Spanish provinces from the floods "will be a very serious, if not mortal, blow to the region," civil defense director Antonio Figueruela said in Madrid.
In the worst hit Basque province of Vizcaína, Figuieruelo said, regional and state authorities are in control. He estimated the region would be 80 percent back to normal by the end of the day.
As the rain tapered off, Bilbao, Spain's sixth-largest city, slowly returned to normal, with crews restoring telephone service to the city and clearing streets of mud and debris.
