New shelter for strays
Humane Society hopes building attracts visitors
By Liz Musser
Kansan staff writer
They may be homeless, but the stray cats and dogs of Lawrence are living in style. They are enjoying larger kennels and freshly painted walls.
Saturday, the animals at the new Lawrence Humare Society, 1805 Haskell St., were visited by more than 150 Lawrence residents who celebrating the grand opening of the shelter.
The visitors took tours of the new facility and ate refreshments served by volunteers in cat costumes.
Rory Ezell, third-grader at Hickcrest Elementary and one of the volunteers, said that she was impressed with the new building.
"I like it a lot," she said. "It's a lot bigger and a lot cleaner."
The new animal shelter, which opened in the middle of July, is twice as large as the previous building.
"Our goal was not necessarily to make it bigger, but more efficient," said Renee Harris, manager of the Lawrence Humane Society.
The animal kennels are separated by age and species of the animal, which protects the animals from disease.
Harris said that she hoped that the
new shelter would attract more visitors and that the adoption rate would increase.
it's a high goal, but we'd like to see an adoption rate at about 80 percent," she said.
Pam Williams, volunteer tour guide, stressed the importance of having an animal spayed or neutered.
"Spaying and neutering is so important," she said. "We'll never be put out of business by it, but it helps a lot."
The new shelter cost $640,000 to build, and another $80,000 was spent on supplies. The majority of the financing was from private donations. However, the city of Lawrence donated $120,000 and Douglas county donated $35,000 for the project.
Laundry thief leaves student with just the shirt on his back
Kansan staff report
For about an hour Wednesday morning, the only shirt Chris Kesseling had was the one on his back.
Kesseling, Silver Lake sophomore, decided to do laundry a little after midnight at his apartment building's laundryroom, 1130 W. 11th St.
He said it was common for people to use both of the washing machines or dryers in the building, so he left the clothes alone as they dried, thinking they would not be disturbed.
When he returned to check on the
clothes an hour later, they were gone.
"He took my socks and underwear."
Kesselring said. "He took everything."
Kesslering was not going to let anybody get away that easily. He decided to knock on doors until he found the thief.
"The second door I knocked on, the guy answered the door wearing my shirt." Kesseling said.
He said the man at the door didn't live in the building and was there visiting a friend.
Kesselling asked the man to return his clothes, but the man refused. He
then threatened to call the police, but the man remained unmoved.
Kesseling decided he needed someone with a badge to help persuade the man to return the clothes. He went back to his apartment to call the police.
Kesseling said he left his apartment to drive to the police station and passed the laundry room.
"As I was walking by the laundry room to go to the police station, I saw a plastic bag full of clothes," he said. "I think his friend made him give the clothes back."
