Group for wetlands opposes trafficway
Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence group, Save the Baker Wetlands, claims that if a proposed traffickway were built, it would damage Lawrence's unique wildlife areas.
Rv Mike Brassfield
Some state and county officials disagree.
Hank Guarisco, spokesperson for Save the Baker Wetlands, said the group was formed in September to protect and promote the Baker University which is south of 31st street between Streight Street and Haskell Avenue.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has designated the wetlands a critical habitat for the Northern Crawfish Frog, a Kansas threatened mammal in the environment also designated the wetlands a natural national landmark in 1969.
A proposed south Lawrence trafficway, which would loop around the city to connect Kansas Highway 10 and Interstate 70, would pass through the wetlands, claiming 11.89 acres of the 573-acre area.
The trafficway will be the subject of a referendum on the Nov. 6 ballot. Chris McKenzie, Douglas County administrator, said that to minimize the effect of the trafficway on the wetlands, the road would be narrowed in that area and an enclosed drainage system would be built to prevent run-off of pollution from the road.
Quarisco said he was not satisfied with those adjustments.
"That's not a compromise," he said. "It's as if someone said 'We're going to build a road through your house, but don't worry. We're only going to build it through your living room and part of the porch."
Guarisco said he was not worried as much about the total acreage the road would claim as he was about the secondary effects of the road.
Amphibians in general and wetland species in particular are sensitive to pollution, he said.
Ouarrisco, who earned a master's degree in systems and ecology from the University of Kansas in 1974 has been studying the wetlands on 12 islands in the Pacific. He designed a system for the trafficway also would harm the wetlands because the area
received much of its water from the north, where the road would be built.
Guarisco said he doubted the wetlands could be re-created.
"The people things should keep in mind is that we did a great deal of consultation with government agencies in opposing this project," McKenzie said.
According to an environmental impact statement for the project filed in January with the Environmental Protection Agency, state officials would dig four acres of shallow breeding pools. Water levels in and around these pools would be controlled, creating either 15 or 72 acres of wetland, depending on the pools' locations.
"They want to flood a field and call it a wetland," he said. "It's not the same thing. That's a bureaucratic definition. It looks good on paper."
"The point is that not enough is known about this situation," he said. "I don't think anyone can say what will happen for sure, but I have major concerns about what is going to happen here."
He said the flood plain that surrounds the wetlands had been converted for agricultural use and could diversify diverse species found in the wetlands.
Farmers have drained the land for agricultural use, but the entire area still is a potential wetland, he said.
McKenzie said that to further minimize the effect of the trafficway, new wetlands would be created or existing ones would be expanded.
"The seeds are there," he said.
"All you have to do is plug the drains,
and when it rains, you have a wet
pond. That provides a perfect wetland,
but it's a wetland."
Guarisco said the group's purpose was to heighten public awareness and promote the educational value of the wetlands. A Baker Wetlands Day sponsored by the group is scheduled for Oct. 21 from 2 to 6 p.m. in South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St. A field trip to the wetlands also is planned.
Advisers informed

Faculty takes course in enrollment proces
"We are trying to educate new faculty members," Vanzandt said.
While students are thinking about which classes to take next semester, faculty members are preparing for the following advising period, which occurs Oct. 2-8.
This is the first semester an advising workshop has been offered to faculty, he said. Before this semester, most of the faculty had no mention about advising to its faculty.
The workshops began Monday and end today.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is offering two-hour workshops this week for faculty members attending a lecture advising at the University of Kansas.
Joe Vanzand, coordinator of the college advising support center, said he expected about 25 faculty members to college would attend the workshops.
in the workshop, faculty members learn general requirements for graduation in the college and about resources on campus that are available to students and faculty members, Vanzandt said.
deers, Vanessa said.
Thomas Heilke, assistant professor of political science, attended a workshop yesterday and said he learned the nature of KU students and problems to expect from them.
"It gives you the sense of the University," he said.
He urged students and faculty were confused by the complexity of the college's requirements.
Vanzandt said that the workshop was not mandatory for new faculty members in the college but that they were urged to attend.
Pam Houston, director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences undergraduate center, said she thought the differing expectations of students and faculty caused the confusion.
"One of the biggest problems at KU is some students expect faculty members to make decisions for them," she said.
Some students bring blank enrollment cards to their adviser, and some faculty members expect that students will bring complete cards that need only an adviser's signature. Houston said.
Many other universities have professional advisers to help freshmen and sophomores, Houston said. However, KU only has one professional adviser and several graduate assistants in the advising support center.
