when she sees me, and consequently I get excited too," Baldwin said. "It's not like a task, it's like something I enjoy."
Seven mentor matches have been made at Centennial so far,
said site supervisor Jennifer Ybarra. She said it had been a positive experience for the children.
"The kids really look forward to it," she said.
She said the children were always eager to introduce their Bigs to her and to their friends.
sixty matches have been made
Approximately 40 children are waiting for Bigs, Zimmerman said.
She said they were looking for any volunteers, especially males. Anyone 16 years and older may participate.
in Lawrence so far, and program directors want to make more.
Zimmerman said volunteering was beneficial not only to the children, but also to the adults.
"They remember what it was like to be a kid," she said. "It's fun, it doesn't take much time, and it makes a difference in kids' lives."

fundraiser would create about four meals for Lawrence residents in need of food assistance.
He said that although the demand for food had increased, Jubilee Cafe's income levels, including money collected from fundraisers held two or three times a year, had stayed about the same.
"We spend money as we have it," Fraser said. "We've learned how to stretch dollars. We buy everything in bulk now."
Fraser said the program spent about $250 to $300 a week serving about 300 Lawrence residents.
Jubilee Cafe serves breakfast from 7 to 9 every Tuesday and Friday morning. The program is like a restaurant in that people are waited on by volunteers.
"It emphasizes serving people with dignity and respect," said Margaret Perkins-MeGuinness, Lawrence junior. "We don't ask people to wait in line for food. We serve it to them."
Perkins-McGuinness said the program fostered a deeper relationship between student volunteers and area residents who relied on food donations from liliele Café.
Jubilee Café was founded in October 1994 by Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St.
The program is sponsored by the Episcopal Campus Ministry and staffed by volunteer students and members of organizations, including the campus-based Center for Community Outreach.

Tenn. auto accident injures two children
The Associated Press
"A car jumped the curb and hit some kids lined up outside the school waiting for their parents to pick them up," said Teresa Taylor, watch commander for the Memphis Fire Department.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An 81-year-old woman driving to an elementary school to pick up her granddaughter plowed into nine children and a teacher's aide outside the school yesterday, critically injuring two of the students, sheriff's officials said.
The collision took place about 3:30 p.m. outside Chimneyrock Elementary School.
A 5-year-old boy was in critical condition and a 5-year-old girl was in serious condition after being upgraded from critical,
spokeswoman Sarah Burnett said. Two 9-year-old girls also were in serious condition and a third was released.
Other children were listed in good condition or had been released from other hospitals. The 41-year-old teacher's aide was expected to be released yesterday, a spokeswoman for Methodist Healthcare-German-town said.
No charges were filed against the driver, but authorities were interviewing her, said Steve Shular, a spokesman with the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.
Survey says farms not focus of legislators
"We're trying, with a lot of compassion, to talk with her on what might have occurred," Shular said.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Despite acknowledging the decline of family farms, state lawmakers across the nation have not spent much time working to help them, according to a survey released yesterday.
The woman was on some medications and blood tests will be conducted.
Rural issues ranked far behind urban and suburban concerns among lawmakers from all states, as budget shortfalls and other pressing priorities threaten to halt new rural initiatives.
State lawmakers also said they
did not see agriculture as the larger solution to rural America's economic problems, according to the "Perceptions of Rural America" survey of 1,030 of the nation's 7,000 state legislators by the WK. Kellogg Foundation.
Although half of those surveyed perceive that they personally deal frequently with rural problems, only 8 percent said such issues were given higher priority than those facing cities and suburbs.
Half reported that they never deal with rural issues, or deal with them infrequently.
"In the competition for increasingly scarce state dollars, rural-policy advocates may find it harder than ever to get legislative attention," said Rick Foster, vice president for rural development at the foundation, based in Battle Creek, Mich.
Respondents said the biggest problem facing rural Americans was a lack of opportunity for young people, followed in order by the decline of the family farm, lack of access to health care, low wages and poor quality of education.
But the list of rural problems
does not match lawmakers' estimation of legislative work devoted to rural issues.
The survey was mailed to 5,000 of 7,000 legislators, with additional surveys mailed to legislators in states with significant rural populations.
Study questions for-profit dialysis centers
When asked about rural problems that have attracted the most attention, 84 percent said quality of education, followed by the environment, access to technology, access to health care and access to transportation. Economic issues scored much lower.

CHICAGO — Kidney failure patients treated at for-profit dialysis centers have higher death rates than those who undergo treatment at nonprofit ones, according to an analysis that blames financial pressures.
Pooling results from eight studies of U.S. dialysis centers from 1973 through 1997, the researchers found an 8 percent increased risk of death among
patients who received dialysis at for-profit centers.
That works out to about 2,500 extra deaths nationwide each year among patients treated at for-profit centers, which are the most common type in the United States, the researchers said.
Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the consumeradvocacygroup PublicCitizen said the study echoed his own research linking for-profit health maintenance organiza
tions with lower-quality medical care.
The study appears in Wednesday's journal of the American Medical Association.
The analysis was conducted by researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, McMaster researcher Dr. P.J. Devereaux said "economic realities" facing for-profit centers may explain the results.
"They have to generate money to satisfy shareholders," and to do
so may end up cutting costs, he said.
That may result in fewer skilled staffers and shorter dialysis times, Devereaux said.
Dr. Paul Scheel, a Johns Hopkins University kidney specialist who was not involved in the research, called it poppycock.
"It tells you how dialysis was practiced in the early 1980s and '90s and has absolutely zero relevance today," he said.
