Angino says industry will dilate tax base
By NED STAFFORD Staff Reporter
Ernest, Angin, candidate for Lawrence City Commission, thinks Lawrence would be fortunate to have a bottomless pit from which to draw money. But that, he said, was wishful thinking.
"If the tax base doesn't expand, the city has only two options - raise taxes or reduce services." Angino said. "If you don't want to raise taxes or reduce services, you must expand the tax base."
He said Lawrence should attract clean, traditional industry to expand the tax base and help provide jobs for the two-out-of-three local high school graduates who did not attend college.
"Traditional industry does not have to mean pollution." he said.
to IHeA.
CITED THE HOLIDAY INN HOLICOME in Lawrence as an example of a clean industry which he said had provided 150 jobs for Lawrence.
In addition to attracting industry, Angino said Lawrence needed to
develop its downtown area to avoid losers shopping and money to Kansas City and Topocha. He said that losing businesses would lead to losing of businesses and the loss of jobs.
He said that a plan for downtown redevelopment, proposed by Sizeler Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La. was a finding point but would have to be modified.
A market exists for more retail shopping in Lawrence, he said, but if the city did nothing to improve the town from a suburban mall would be inevitable.
"Sizerel has not volunteered to put $21.5 million into downtown beetle fund to lose money." Angino said.
Angino, 51, has lived in Lawrence for 22 years. He is chairman of the KU department of urban affairs of civil

at 1215 W. 27th St. with his wife,
Margaret. They have two daughters.
"At least I had the guts to run twice and come back and run again," he said.
Angino said the present commission had lost the respect of many residents of Lawrence because of an adverse relationship with city staff, members of the public who came before the commission among commissioners themselves.
"I'd like to see the City Commission operated in such a manner that it could gain the respect and credibility of the people of Lawrence again," he said; his campaign had imagined such a move has made an awful lot of people in Lawrence mad."
Angino said he thought more communication was needed between the two firms.
"I think that could diffuse some of the problems that could evolve," he said.
ANGINO SAID THAT an example of
prior judgment by the commission was its decision earlier this year to re-zone more than 500 lots in East Lawrence from multiple-family to single-family homes.
"There are probably instances when you would at least consider downzoning." Angino said.
But he said that downzoning should be done on a block-by-block basis, with at least half of the property owners on each block wanting the re-zooning.
Angino said his qualifications for commission included a willingness to
In discussing other issues, Angiine said that the city manager did not need to be evaluated every quarter and that the city should take advantage of the opportunity to draw on the expertise of people at the University of Kansas.
"I have a reputation for being fair," he said. "I'm a very realistic person. I respect people."
He said that running for the commission gave him a challenge and the chance to repay Lawrence for all it had given him.
Amyx says redevelopment plan up to the voters
By NED STAFFORD Staff Reporter
Mike Amyx says the question of whether to redevelop the downtown area should be put before the voters, as has been done in Iowa for winning for the Lawrence City Commission
But Amyx said he had reservations about a design for a downtown shopping center approved "in principle" last week by the City Commission.
The design, called Scheme 4, proposed by Sizeer Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La., calls for the relocation of several downtown businesses and the demolition of several buildings in an area between Massachusetts and Rhode Island streets and Seventh and Ninth streets.
"I honestly don't think we need something of the magnitude of Scheme 4," Amyx said. "We are actually talking of doubling the size of downtown in a very concentrated area."
AMYX SAID THE downtown needed to be protected from the threat of a suburban mail but at a reasonable cost
He said that Sieker's plan for downredevelopment was no different than his previous one.
"They're set up to capture as many dollars as they can and not let, them escape," he said. "If you're on the outside looking in, I would think that

AMYX PLACED SIXTH in the 1981 primary for City Commission but dropped out of the race before the general election.
Amryx said earlier this week that he had dropped out of the 1961 race because of lack of organization and money. He said he gave his support that year to Robert Schumm, owner of a baseball team, because they were both businessmen.
Amyx said he did not regret his decision to withdraw.
"If we're not caretul we'll lose the youth of Lawrence to Kansas City and Topeka," he said. "We have to have an

attitude change, a willingness to work with industry we presently have and industry we want to locate here."
AMYX SAID THAT A new industrial park would help attract industry and that the Douglas County Commission had erred in refusing to allow the city to annex land north of Lawrence for the proposed park.
He said the drainage and traffic safety problems that the County Commission cited as reasons for its decision could have been worked out.
Amx also said he disagreed with the City Commission's decision to rezone more than 500 lots in East Lawrence from multi-family housing to single family. He said he would have liked the lots to have been rezoned block by block.
He said he would support downzoning if a majority of the property owners of each block wanted their block downzoned.
Recipients of marrow to benefit from rooms
By MICHAEL BECK Staff Reporter
KANAS CITY, Kan. — One of the walls of the new rooms at the University of Kansas Medical Center is clear plastic
In the center of the wall are two long gloves in which one could put his arms to play chess, take a knife and cut a piece in an inner bone marrow transfusion.
The air filters through a maze of metal tiles on another wall, across the room, out the door and back through the wall again.
Venetian blinds rest between two panes of glass on the other walls. They are controlled at a panel just behind the plastic wall.
AFTER YEARS OF discussion and months of construction, the Med Center has completed the two $30,000 isolation rooms, and today officials will dedicate them to the treatment of infection in bone marrow recipients.
Mammo Amare, associate professor of medicine and bone marrow transplant specialist, said yesterday that the rooms were badly needed. The staff would also could save lives and reduce the hospital stay of bone marrow recipients.
Recipients of bone marrow transplants now are put in single rooms, where they can be exposed to germs. With their low white blood cell count, this makes them susceptible to infections.
in infections.
In the new rooms, patients will be isolated from germs that cause infections, making their recovery quicker and reducing their chance of death by infection.
The Med Center gives about nine bone marrow transfusions a year, each requiring a two-to three-week stay for the white cell count to rise to normal. Amare said. With the new more transfusions would be possible.
possible.
HE SAID BONE MARROW
transfusions were a relatively new
treatment, begun within the last 10 years, and were quite painful.
Amarie said doctors drew bone marrow with a needle from the hip of the donors in a transfusion and transplantation process, the recipient. Nature does the rest.
"Transfusions do involve some pain," he said. "But considering the alternatives, it's not bad at all."
Two types of patients usually get bone marrow transfusions, he said, those with aplastic anemia and those with leukemia.
If aplastic anemia progresses, he said, the person must then have a bone marrow transfusion to replace damaged cells with healthy cells that eventually will multiply and spread into the blood.
LEUKEMIA PATIENTS ARE also recipients of bone marrow transfusions, because chemic- blood cells their white blood cells, he said.
Aplastic anemia kills the white blood cells in the bone marrow and thereby lowers a person's ability to live in diseases and infections, he said.
Severe aplastic anemia kills 90 percent of its victims, Amare said, while 70 percent of those with mild aplastic anemia can survive.
Despite the seeming simplicity of the process, he said, the biggest problem lies in obtaining a donor with the correct bone tissue type.

Another problem with the transplants is rejection by the recipient's body, he said. Many transplants don't work because the disease in the original bone marrow will not mix with healthy bone marrow
"If you're from a large family of 10 or 12, then the chances are pretty good that you'll be able to find a donor," he said. "But if you're from a small community, the chances are pretty children, the chances are pretty slim you'll be able to find a donor."
To avoid the rejection of the new marrow, doctors paralyze the marrow with a drug before the transfusion, he said. But sometimes this process does not work.
