Henry's closes door for final time
BY MICHELLE T. JOHNSON
Staff Reporter
Just as they have for the past 18 years, customers streamed into Henry's Restaurant yesterday, but this time they came for more than a burger and a cup of coffee.
They came to say goodbye.
Regular customers stopped by to offer hugs and well wishes to Corbet and Jean Collins, owners of Henry's Restaurant, Sixth and Missouri streets, which closed its doors.
The Collinsnes, owners of Henry's for the past 18 years, have sold the restaurant to Art and Ken Ollila who plan to remodel the building and open a Burger King.
"I HATE TO SEE it close. It's so handy, and they're such nice people, so friendly," said Bert Offt, a Lawrence residence, who has volunteered twice a week for the past four or five years.
"We've been at it for 30 years. I'm getting a little tired." Cornell Collins said about his
restaurant, the last Henry's franchise in the Midwest to be sold. "My kids have been raised in here. There are five of them, and the one thing that makes it rough to leave."
Jean Collins said, "I feel I want to change careers. I want to have a little less pressure
David Longhurst, city commissioner and a regular of Henry's since he moved to Lawrence 18 years ago, was one customer who stopped to say goodbye.
"I've always remembered Henry's." Longhurst said "I feel very bad about it. It's the end of an era. There's no place like Henry's."
AS PEOPLE CAME INTO the restaurant in the last half-hour before it was scheduled to close, Jean Collins walked around hugging and talking to the steady stream of customers.
"The backbone of our business has been the working people." Jean Collins said, "Our clientele is not the student per se, it's more family type people.
About 500 to 600 people used to come into Henry's Restaurant each day, Jean Collins said, even if only for a cup of coffee.
Longhurst said, "They're so real, so good and genuine. They knock outs out for older people, have a real place in their hearts for the elderly."
Despite the following that Henry's Restaurant has had, the Collinsies said they were putting the future of the restaurant in good bands by selling it to Art and Ken Ollida.
One of the employees, Jeff Clement, a Kansas City, Kan., senior, said, "This is the last restaurant in Lawrence like this so its not overrated. Everyone here knows it, like in a large family."
Don Fambrough, former KU head football coach, said Henry's had been a good place to get a cup of coffee before work or to have breakfast with friends on weekends before playing golf.
"We will miss it. You get used to going to a place like this," Fambrough said. "When you know the people, you feel at home and you hate to see it leave."
Candidates have ties to district's past

Both candidates for the 48th District seat in the Kansas House of Representatives can lay claim to roots in their district's past that other candidates might envy.
State Rep John Solbach, the Democratic incumbent, had a great great-grandfather in
Martha Parker, the Republican candidate,
votes on a Clinton farm owned by her father's
family.
"Some of the people in the rural areas in the district, like Wakurasa Valley, have been there from the time it was first settled in 1855," said Parker, the curator of the Clinton Ike Museum. "I know these people. There's people who could make me happier than to represent them."
southern precincts in Lawrence and rural townships west and south of the city.
Solbach, a 37 year-old attorney, has been a state representative since 1978. He is a member of the House Ways and Means, the Judiciary, and the Agriculture and Livestock committees. The positions he attained in the
SOLBACH SAID IHS affiliation with Kansas voters also was strong.
"My great-great-grandfather introduced legislation to give women the right to vote in Kansas in 1893," Solbach said. "I guess I'm about as Kansas as you can get."
The candidates are fighting to represent an area that includes some northern and
House, Solbach said, would be hard to replace quickly if he was, defeated.
One way he would work to ensure sufficient state revenue, Solbach said, would be an effort with other legislators to re-enact a state booster tax. An attempt to continue the tax, which is scheduled to expire Jan. 1, failed in the last legislative session.
SOLBACH SAID THE most important issue facing the next legislative session was

Parker said she did not favor reimposing the tax. Such taxes discourage businesses from investing in the state, she said.
cant help. Solbach said that if the tax was reimposed, it would raise $45 million to $50 million next year.
Solbach also said funding for the University of Kansas would continue to be one of his priorities.
"THE UNIVERSITY OF Kansas is a great economic boon to Lawrence," he said. "I believe it's essential for the future of this state to maintain the quality of education there."
Michael A. Flory, Parker's campaign manager, said the incumbent probably had the edge in the race because he was the only woman in her constituency's acquaintance with many of her constituents would pay off.
A LAWRENCE TRADITION SINCE 1969
"She's very well-known in the community," he said. "I think Solbach is very knowledgeable about legislation, but I don't feel like he is representing the people."
Parker said the rich history of Douglas County made her eager to represent it.
"The whole Free State movement was here in Douglas County," she said. "The Republican Party was born from that.
"That's my district. I want it back."
Local race candidates are distinct

The average voter who has listened to the 46th District candidates during the campaign might conclude that both have similar political views on most issues.
But State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Dawrence, says that she and her Republican
opponent, Julie Hack, differ widely in their political sympathies.
"I don't think it's come out in this campaign," Charlton said. "But her emphasis is with the local units of government, and mine is with the individual voters."
CHARLTON SAID HACK'S background on the local school board and her emphasis on promoting business in the area aligned her community leaders than with the average voter.
Hack disagreed with Charlton's assessment of the candidates' leanings.
"We're different on some issues, but we're not that different in the way we care about people." Hack said "her emphasis is on education," and mine is on education and business.
The candidates are yiring for a seat that Charlton has held since January 1980, when she filled the place vacated by Mike Glover. The candidates are law practice. Glover is now city prosecutor.
The 40th District includes the main campus of the University of Kansas, much of the area around KU.
CHARLTON, WHO EARNED her bachelor's and master's degrees from KU, was elected to the Legislature in 1980 and re-elected in 1982. She now serves on the House Transportation and Energy, and Natural Resources committees, and the House and Senate Administrative Rules and Regulations Committee.
Although both Charlton and Hack generally agree on issues such as an amendment allowing classification before reappraisal of property taxes and increased funding for education, Charlton said Hack's stands didn't always favor the average voter.
Hack served on the Lawrence Board of Education for 12 years and was the board's president for four years. She has worked on many local organizations and is now the treasurer and financial secretary for the Congregational Church, 95 Vermont St.
Under the amendment, which died in the House of Representatives, cities could tax residents only 50 percent of development costs of a benefit area, and any project costing more than $500,000 would require voter approval before taxing residents.
CHARLTON SAID HER attempt in the 1964 legislative session to reduce the taxes a city may impose upon all its residents to develop only one area where it was sympathetic to her. [DAKWAN]
HACK SAID SHE wouldn't support Charlton's proposed legislation.
As part of Hack's plan to decrease the unemployment rate in Lawrence by encouraging businesses to invest in the area, she said she would propose that the House establish a standing committee on economic growth and development.
"I think that very definitely shows she does not have an interest in encouraging and promoting growth," she said.
