Homeless shelter obtains financial help from will
A mentally ill man who was frequently homeless left a legacy for a financially strapped shelter in Lawrence that helps people similar to himself.
When Gary Hampton Gauk died of a heart attack last fall at age 57, his will stipulated that portions of his inherited estate be used to help the homeless.
Last week, his cousin Pat Newton presented a $4,200 check to Project Acceptance, which operates a shelter for the mentally ill who are homeless.
Newton said she expected the shelter would receive about $10,000 a year in perpetuity from Gault's trust fund.
Newton, who is the principal of St. John's Catholic School, helped her cousin in the last years of his life, and officers of his trust had asked her to help find recipients for the trust money. When she saw a newspaper article about Project Acceptance, she said it seemed to be the right place.
"I're really touched by the source of the gift," said Dennis Budd, president of Project Acceptance. "By the fact that it came from someone who was basically one of the people we exist for. That's the thing that really touches me."
Earlier this year, Project Acceptance offi.
cials were preparing to close the shelter because of lack of funds.

16 dead, more missing following Texas flood
UVALDE, Texas — The remnants of Tropical Storm Charley caused flooding that washed away blocks of homes and killed 16 people in drought-striken southern Texas and Mexico. As many as 30 others were reported missing yesterday in Del Río.
Entire neighborhoods of the Texas border town of 34,000 were submerged as the flood-watered across the parched land. Del Río received nearly 18 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Del Rio police Officer John Wilson said 20 to 30 people still were missing.
"We're still recovering bodies, and all the low crossings, the creeks, have flooded," Wilson said.
Gov. George W. Bush ordered 150 National Guardsmen, 25 trucks and nine Blackhawk helicopters to join the rescue efforts.
Boeing may lose support from longtime customer
WORLD
LONDON — British Airways will loosen its ties with longtime U.S. supplier Boeing Co.
and order its first batch of jets from France's Airbus Industrie, a source said yesterday.
bruns Airways plans to buy 59 short-haul jets from Airbus but will keep Boeing as its supplier for larger jets, said the source, an industry executive who spoke on condition of anonymity.
British Airways has had 10 Airbus planes in its fleet since it bought a smaller airline several years ago. However, it never has bought Airbus jets directly from the company, and it has long been considered one
of Boeing's most loyal customers.
Neither Airbus nor British Airways would confirm the deal — which would be a huge blow to Boeing in the intense rivalry between the two big aircraft manufacturers.
O'Brien's business Airbus said British Prime Minister Tony Blair was set to speak at a joint news conference with Airbus President Noel Forgeard shortly after noon today at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France.
Spokesmen from British Airways and Boeing refused to comment on the alleged deal.
Although any detection to Airbus would be a loss for Boeing, British Airways is not completely giving up on the plane manufacturer.
The executive said British Airways planned a revamp of its fleet and would order more Boeing 777s in a $5 billion deal.
Pakistan files complaint about misfired U.S. missile
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan is lodging a complaint with the U.N. Security Council after a U.S. missile aimed at neighboring Afghanistan landed by mistake on its territory, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
The discovery of an unexploded missile during the weekend supported Pakistan's claim that the United States violated its airspace, a ministry statement said.
Local officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the missile was found in a remote area Sunday and given to the military the same day. They said it fell in Kharan, 380 miles south of the U.S. target near Khost, Afghanistan.
U. S. missiles struck a suspected militant training camp Aug. 20 in neighboring Afghanistan.
Pakistan had protested the presumed violation of its airspace in the U.S. attack and said that a missile mistakenly had fallen in Pakistan and killed several people. The government fired its intelligence chief, Manzoor Ahmed, for passing on that false report to the prime minister.
The U.S. attack has prompted daily anti-American protests around Pakistan. Yesterday, 200 Afghan refugee schoolgirls led by their veiled teachers chanted "Destroy America!" in a peaceful march in the Pakistani border city of Peshawar.

It's an attitude!
SHARE THE ROAD
motorsists have a greater responsibility. A 3000 pound car will inflict greater damage than a 25 pound bicycle.
We can't stress it enough. Safety is very important. Cyclists are more vulnerable than motorists, and thus
As you're driving, cycling, and walking around town, please be alert, be aware, and share the road. Lawrence.
It's an attitude we can live with!
