Forum focus is on violence
Page 10
By SHAWN ADAY Staff Reporter
Members of a Douglas County task force identified prevention of domestic violence cases as their ultimate goal during a forum discussion yesterday afternoon.
Five of the task force's members, who represent agencies that work with domestic violence in the county, participated in the forum at Lawrence Public Library. They said that preventing violence was better than intervening after the damage had been done.
The forum was one of several local activities during National Domestic Violence Week. The events will conclude with a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. Sunday in South Park.
The five panelists called for more education, discussion and awareness in the community about violence in the home.
"IF A WOMAN goes to her neighbor and says her husband is beating her, we don't want the neighbor to back away like she's a leaper," said Barb Smith, director of Women's Transitional Care Services, a shelter house for abused women in the county.
"We want everybody to know what to do, who to call," Smith said. "And we want the abusers to know that in the community of Lawrence, this violent behavior is unacceptable."
Part of the problem, the panel agreed, is how people define violence.
"Some of the most mixed up and misled kids I've ever worked with
were victims of emotional violence in the home," said Margaret Wedge, a worker for 'Social and Rehabilitation Services.
SMITH SAID OTHER goals of the task force should be to develop a streamlined system that helps people, but does not duplicate services.
A new service that panelists Karen Wushman, Michele Edwards and Smith agreed might be better used to support groups among victims of abuse.
Education about domestic abuse was the panel's top priority, however.
Edwards suggested programs in local schools, citing statistics that one of every four children who experience violence in in the home will grow up to use violence.
Employees of the year honored with plaque
A plaque listing the names of the classified and unclassified employees of the year was unveiled yesterday in the Kansas Union.
The infiltrate for the plaque began
the years ago, when thewas
pierced.
Joe Collins, Classified Senate president, assisted by former presidents Suzanne Cupp and Tom Swearingen, unveiled the plaque after three years of delay. Chancellor Robert also attended the brief ceremony.
"Finding the money took a long time," Cupp said. "And then when we got the money together, the clap makes the plaques worn on strike."
"There was interest from some Classified Senate members who
thought that we used the Union all the time and saw the plaques for the HOPE award winners and distinguished professors," she said. "We've been involved in our University family and that our members should be recognized too."
The plaque is on a wall on the stair landing on the Oread Bookstore, between the third and fourth floors.
"We think it is a nice contribution," Collins said, "and it recognizes the classified employees' service to the University community.
"The idea to put it up in the Union came up because a lot of employees come here on their lunch hours. It's too easy for names to be forgotten over time. This makes it permanent."
