Food running low at local charities
By Liz Musser
Kansan staff writer
Charity organizations that give food to Lawrence's needy are much like Mother Hubbard these daws - their cubboards are bare.
The five locations that provide free food for low income families and hungry people in Lawrence say their food pantries are exceedingly low this month. As a result, applicants for assistance are having to settle for less.
"For the last month, we have not given out any food because we haven't had any," said Stephanie Keller, executive director of the Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm St.

Betsy Anderson, caseworker for the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., said donations were typically low during the summer because people were saving for vacations. However, because children eat all their meals at home during the summer, the demand for food increases. The result is a big shortage.
"The donations have usually picked up by this time of year," Anderson said. "But for some reason that hasn't happened this year. We're down to the bare bone."
Although the shortage is severe, nobody is going hungry.
Anderson said that instead of giving applicants the normal 4-day rations, she has had to give 2-day rations.
Elida Elston, food-room manager for Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania St., said she always tried to give everybody something, and if she could not, she referred them to another agency.
"It is not good to have to send people someplace else, because it makes them feel like they're getting the run-around," Elston said.
Donations are encouraged by all the organizations. Pasta, canned fruits and vegetables, and canned meat are particularly scarce. Elston
Tracy Welsh, director of emergency assistance programs at the Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm St., gathers food at the center for a person in need of a free meal.

Snowbarger offers views
By Neal Shulenburger Kansan staff writer
Although he is the Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, Vince Snowbarger said there were some issues with which he did not completely trust the U.S. Congress.
Snowbarger expressed his doubts to 60 guests and members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning at the Holiday Inn Holideme, 200 McDonald Drive.
Snowbarger said he did not feel the U.S. government could be trusted to address congressional term limits.
"I may appear to be inconsistent on the term limits issue," he said. "I do not favor them in the State Legislature, but I do in Congress. Last year in the State Legislature, 29 seats changed hands; that just does not happen in Congress."
Another problem Snowbarger thought Congress couldn't manage was balancing the budget. Unlike Kansas, the United States does not have a law that forces it to balance the budget. A constitutional amendment designed for that purpose failed earlier this year.
Snowbarger said he had two approaches to balancing the budget.
"Number one, we need a balanced-budget amendment," he said. "There's just not the political will to balance that budget year after year unless they are forced to. And number two, we need to cut spending in order to balance it. The federal government is involved in several areas that the states could do a better job managing."
"Hey, bring it on down," she said.
State Sen. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, was impressed with Snowbarger's speech.
"I thought he answered the questions he was asked very well," Praeger said. "Vince has a low-key, kind of a quiet personality, and I think his sincerity came through."
