Survival Kits help cure finals munchies
LISA BOLTON Staff Reporter
Final week will be busy for Overland Park parker Lisa Kanarek. Besides studying, she will have about 400 Survival Kits to deliver.
A Survival Kit is a small box filled with both health foods and snacks, such as granola bars, potato chips, hot chocolate mix, beef jeer, raisins and, of course, instant coffee. For $10, Kanarek will deliver a kit, containing 10 worth of coupons from LawnEase merchants. Loving parent's child as he or she struggles through finals week. Dec. 9 to 18.
"Our slogan is, 'We provide the nutrition; you provide the love,'" Kanarek said yesterday. She is in the business with her sister, Gina, Gina, and an award at a master's degree in art from Avista College in Kansas City, Mo.
KANAREK SAID they would accept orders through Nov. 1. To hold down costs, they limited the mailing to parents of 5,000 KU students, mostly sophomores and juniors, whose home addresses were gleaned at random from the student telephone directory.
She said they thought those students would be a better risk than freshman, who had never taken final examinations before and who sometimes drop out of school during that week.
Her whole family helped to stuff 5,000 envelopes one weekend in mid-October, she said.
"My mom was more excited than I was when the first orders came in," said Kanarek. "I think that's when she started taking it seriously."
Orders have come in from as far as Rhode Island and California, she said, adding that she didn't realize how many KU students were from out of state.
She said she would be delivering to all the campus living groups and to off-campus residences, too.
Kanarek and her sister consulted a Kansas City, Kan., attorney before entering the Survival Kit business for advice on how to estimate costs and how to trademark the logo, which her sister designed.
She said she began considering the idea while she was running her first college venture, Asta Singing Telegrams, which she began as a sophomore. With a loan from her mother, she left school and arranged with a Lawrence florist to have an Ania singer deliver the flowers.
AFTER MANAGING the business for two years, she sold it to a friend at Kansas State University for a profit.
"I wanted to get into a business that would leave me more time for school," said Kanarek, an advertising major.
She said she hopes to expand the Survival Kit business to other schools after she graduated in May.
"I'm dreading working nine-to-five." she said.
Lisa and Gina Kannack sit in front of their survival kit that they plan to sell and deliver during final weeks. The kit will contain coupon, cereal, candy and other food items.
Commission questions state open meeting laws
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night decided to appeal to the state's attorney general for guidance on how to stay in accord with the state's open
Commissioner Barkley Clark presented a list of seven questions about the law which the commission wants answered.
In August, Brad Smoot, deputy attorney general, issued a "stern warning to the commission about serious criminal before commission meetings.
Smoot's warning came after Commissioner Don Bins filed a complaint charging Mayor Marci Francisco and Commissioners Nancy Zontz and Tom Gleason with violating the open meeting law by occasionally gathering in the mayor's office on Tuesday afternoons before commission meetings.
The commission wants the following questions answered:
- Can a majority of a quorum discuss general city business at a meeting other than a commission meeting?
- Can one city commissioner call another on the phone to discuss an upcoming item on the agenda or general city business?
- Can commissioners communicate by memorandums?
- Does the prearrangement criteria of the law include visiting the mayor in her office?
- Can a quorum of the commission participate in a public forum such as the one by the League of Women's Voters?
- Finally, can a quorum of the commission discuss city business before a public meeting, during a county meeting or after its adjournment?
"I think what we have drawn up are the first questions of this kind that the attorney general has had to answer on the state's open meeting law." Clark
He said that the attorney general should comment on the matter in about a month and should provide compliance with good set of guidelines to abide by."
In other business, the commission agreed to lay the groundwork for forming an advisory board to coordinate and improve the city's transportation.
"We are responding to a particular need of several special population groups and also to the transportation needs of Lawrence," Gleason said.
Members from four social agencies met with the commission earlier this month and requested the formation of a transportation advisory board after federal budget cuts forced the agencies to pool some of their resources.
Calvin Broughton, a member of the board of Independence Inc., a resource center for the severely disabled, said last night an advisory board would not seek a mass transit system, but would seek a transportation system that would take some of the burden off social services agencies.
"Our concern is the elderly and the disabled." Broughton said.
