The Juice Stop to open another location
By Dana Brooks
Lawrence health nuts soon will have a downtown store that serves their favorite frozen fruit drinks.
Kansan staff writer
Juice Stop, 3514 Clinton Parkway, will be opening a new location at 812 Massachusetts St. before August.
Liz Weston, manager of both Juice Stop stores, said she decided to open the second store after seeing the demand for the health foods and drinks she sells. The new location will give health-conscious residents and students on the east side of town a better chance to enjoy the drinks.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Health Center, said that more students, especially women, wanted to look and feel better about themselves.
"Many students have an interest in eating healthier." Chapman said.
Erika Dowdy, Topeka junior and frequent Juice Stop visitor, agreed.
"I like the drinks because the proteins and vitamins they put in them make me feel like I just ate a healthy, satisfying meal and not a Big Mac and large fries," she said. The Juice Stop serves healthy snacks.
including smoothies, a frozen fruit drink made from all-natural ingredients. A popular drink is the "slop shot", which consists of cranberry juice, raspberry shebet, nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries. All of the drinks have two grams of fat or less.
Customers may choose from a list of nutrients that can be added to the smoothies. One nutrient, ginseng, helps concentration and boosts energy. Weston said. Another popular nutrient, lecithin, helps fight viral infections and keeps fats from depositing on artery walls.
But Chapman said the drinks should not be viewed as healthy meals. They should be considered a treat or a snack.
"The goal when you eat a meal is to eat from all of the five food groups," Chapman said. "A frozen yogurt or fruit drink with supplements is not a complete meal," she said. "You don't need supplements if you're already eating a healthy diet."
The new Massachusetts Street location will open as soon as construction is completed. Weston said.
Jeff Showalter, a project manager at Gene Fritzel Construction, said the work should be finished within two weeks.

As construction at the second Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St., nears completion, Tracy Samuels, owner of Samuels Cleaning Professionals, removes scratches made during store renovations. The new location is scheduled to open within two weeks.

Some students find extra money with little effort
Donating plasma earns cash
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
With book in hand and two hours to wait, Scott Krichau, Grand Island, Neb., graduate student, patiently waits to earn some extra cash and help save a life.
Krichau is selling his plasma.
Selling plasma has become a popular way for KU students to make extra cash with little effort.
Roman Haehn, assistant manager for NABI Biomedical, a Lawrence plasma center at 816 W. 24th St., said that about 50 percent of the center's clientele is KU students.
"I would like to think that most of the clientele are donating for the principle, but truthfully, I think
that most come in for some easy, fast cash," Haehn said.
Krichau said that the $140 he earned each month was better than nothing, especially considering that he did not have to do much to earn it. He spends most of the money he makes on groceries and miscellaneous items, he said.
"I have only been in Lawrence for a month-and-a half. I work for a temporary agency, but I am not getting enough hours," Krichau said.
"Over the past month-and-a-half, I have probably brought in a couple hundred dollars. It really helps."
Ryan Krase, Wichita junior, said he had been donating twice a week since last month. He said he thought of selling plasma as a financial base he could fall back on.
"Last month, I quit my job. The job I have now doesn't pay as well, so by donating plasma I get extra money for play cash," Krase said.
Although most students do not
rely on the plasma market as their sole income, Krichau said he would continue donating when school starts.
"Right now I do it whenever I can fit it into my schedule. I know that I will keep on donating when school starts because I won't be able to work as much," Krichau said.
Before each donation, a potential donor must undergo minor blood tests to make sure the blood is suitable for donation.
"Today I had a low tetanus level in my blood, so I got paid an extra $5 to get a tetanus shot. So not only am I getting paid to squeeze a ball, but I am also getting paid to get the shots that I need," Krichau said.
Haehn said that NABI paid for donations to keep people coming.
"The plasma donations help a lot of people, assists with research and is sold to pharmaceutical companies to help make products. It is very important that people keep donating," Haehn said.
Heat sickness not cool
By Randall Rock, chief of staff Watkins Health Center Special to the Kansan
When the weather forecast includes 100-degree temperatures and the relative humidity percentage isn't far behind, it's easy to predict that heat-related ailments may occur. Hyperthermia occurs when the body can't rid itself of excess heat by its usual methods. In warm weather, heat doesn't radiate from the body; if the humidity is also high, then sweat can't evaporate and cool the body.
Other factors can contribute to heat-related problems, too. Dehydration, age, clothing, direct sun exposure, alcohol use and medications may hinder the body's ability to prevent hyperthermia.
There are three types of heat injury: cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
First-ad measures include providing shade from the direct sun, removing the patient's clothes and fanning the patient. Bathing the patient with cool water and applying ice packs is appropriate while emergency transport is arranged. Oral fluids should not be offered to a confused or lethargic patient. Emergency personnel will give fluids intravenously.
Kansas summers can be enjoyed without risk of heat injury if common sense and caution are exercised. Heavy work or athletic workouts should be scheduled during the cooler morning or evening hours. Good hydration should be maintained and replacement fluids should be consumed during exercise.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the effects of summer heat on your health contact Watkins Health Center at 864-9500 for further information.
