Ice skating rink comes to Lawrence
Construction for an ice rink has begun next to the Lawrence Public Library at 707 Vermont St.

In late November, students searching for something to do can head to the Lawrence Public Library — not to check out a book but to ice skate. The Parks and Recreation Department of Lawrence is installing a 60 by 80 foot, artificially surfaced ice skating rink in the library's plaza before the holiday season.
"It's something that is just very Lawrence," said Jimmy Gibbs, the recreation operations manager of Lawrence's Parks and Recreation Department. "It's fun, and it's something for the community."
The library's new plaza was created as a venue for activities like the ice skating rink in the winter, and a grass area in the summer to accommodate various functions. Gibbs said the Library Plaza will hold events like art shows, farmers markets and even live music.
The anticipated rink will be surfaced with synthetic ice. According to a report by the Parks Department, "synthetic ice is a plastic-like surface that is unaffected by temperature or weather changes." Gibbs said the department chose to use synthetic ice because unpredictable Kansas winters
don't allow refrigerated ice to be kept in an outdoor environment. Skaters will be allowed to use their own skates or rent skates at the facility, according to the report.
"I think it would be something fun to do besides going out to eat or to bars," said Garrett Fugate, a graduate student from St. Louis. "It will be something new to do on Mass Street."
Kendra Weinstein, a junior
from Overland Park, said she has skated several times before, but never on synthetic ice. She said if the ice rink is big enough, she would be interested in going there to skate once it opens.
"We see the University and the students as a very large component of our community," Gibbs said. "While the students are here, this is their home, and we hope that this will be a draw for University
students."
Gibbs said the rink will be open right before Thanksgiving and will stay open for an eight-week window from Thanksgiving to the first or second week of January. The rink will be open evenings and weekends, and may open up during weekdays for lessons and special events. The rink will be open to all ages.

Writer Graham Joyce dies from complications of cancer
| MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LONDON
LONDON Graham Joyce, one of Britain's best known fantasy writers, has died from complications of lymphoma cancer, an illness he had blogged about extensively. He was 59.
Joyce died Tuesday afternoon in a hospital near his home in Leicester, a city north of London, said Simon Spanton, associate publisher of the science fiction and fantasy imprint of Orion Books.
Several of his novels received the British Fantasy Award, including "Indigo," "The Tooth Fairy" and "Some Kind of Fairy Tale," which won last year. He also won an O. Henry Prize for short fiction and the World Fantasy
Award for "The Facts of Life."
Stephen King, who called him "a truly great novelist," was among those mourning him on Twitter.
"Cancer is a ferocious, dark force... She is required to do battle with that enemy, and the outcome is uncertain."
GRAHAM JOYCE Fantasy writer
Raised in the mining village Keresley, Joyce remembered himself as an uninspired student who "muddled" through school. But he loved writing and storytelling and kept a "long-winded" diary.
He even turned his own illness into an adventure. On his blog, he imagined a mythical journey in which a heroine has been struck by lightning from the Gods and is on a quest to regain her health,
"a kind of Holy Grail, or a Vessel of Plenty that was lost and must be found again."
But in that world, and standing in the way of her quest object is a terrifying enemy, he wrote.
"Cancer is a ferocious, dark force, a Darth Vader figure from 'Star Wars', or Sauron from 'Lord Of The Rings'. The enemy pursues her. She is required to do fierce battle with that enemy, and the outcome is uncertain."
He is survived by his wife Sue and his children, Ella and Joe.
Heirs seek settlement with owners of $25 million Klimt painting
VIENNA — The present Austrian owners of a valuable Gustav Klimt painting say they plan to reach a fair settlement with Jewish heirs of the family who left the artwork behind as they fled the Nazis.
The "Bildnis Gertrud Loew"
("Portrait of Gertrud Loew") is valued at up to 19.3 million euros ($25 million.) It was abandoned by Gertrud Felsoevary and her family after Austria was annexed by Hitler's Germany in 1938 and is now in the possession of the Klimt Foundation.
Foundation members said Wednesday that they want to reach a "fair and just" solution after a committee of experts deemed that the picture fell under Austrian restitution laws.
The foundation says it hopes to buy the portrait but also has left open its return to the heirs.

The photo provided by Klimt-Foundation on Wednesday shows Gustav Klimt's work 'Bildnis Getrud Loew' that he painted in 1902.
