New sculptures arrive in downtown Lawrence

Jim Patti celebrated a sculptor's Christmas on Saturday morning. He wasn't wearing a white beard, but his white hair and big smile would have suited Santa Claus.
It was delivery day for 11 new sculptures for downtown Lawrence, and Patti, director of the Lawrence Sculpture Association, checked in the new arrivals to be mounted April 8 on downtown street corner displays.
"We had 21 artists submit 45 sculptures this year," said Patti. "You know, this thing started nine years ago as a one-year deal, and now we've got over 600 artists on our mailing list."
The owners of sculptures in last year's downtown display also came to retrieve their works. Jane Vesper of Lawrence picked up the marble bust, "Woman at the Well," for Oklahoma City artist Hugh Youngblood.
Vesper said Youngblood's daughter was her friend and would get the bust to take to Oklahoma.
Brian Harrison of Lawrence unloaded his rusted iron, "Hag Fish," and talked about sculpture and his art.
"People ask me about how to get into sculpture, and I tell them to first get a full-time job," Harrison said.
Harrison works as a construction
mechanic and gathers scrap metal from construction sites to create his works. Harrison said that recycling materials creatively made his artwork more fun and taught an important environmental lesson to his two small boys.
"The kids wanted me to make a fish," Harrison said. "The hag fish is based on an Indian's childhood tale of the hag fish that used to eat the little baby beavers in the lake."
Harrison admitted that the hag fish was a little scary, but he said he also had made many iron flowers up to eight feet tall and a nine-foot-tall tyrannosaur.
Ken Payne and a friend drove all night from Buffalo, N.Y., to drop
off Payne's "The Judecka," a sculpture of limestone and wood.
The Judecca refers to the final judgment in Dante's Inferno, Payne said. Payne was a bricklayer in Wisconsin before he went back to school, and the long Wisconsin winters gave him time to sculpt.
Jerry Miller, Lawrence resident, said he worked full-time as a carpenter but had been sculpting most of his life.
His untitled piece in iron with clean geometric lines and glossy black and red paint stood in sharp contrast to the rough and rusty hag fish. Miller's sculpture is among the group of works that will be displayed.
State primary would be delayed by three weeks
By John Collar Kansan staff writer
A proposal in Legislature to change the date of the Kansas primary election is part of a Republican plot to reduce Democratic voter turnout, the chairman of the state Democratic party has charged.
Last week, the Senate approved a proposal by state Sen. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, to move the primary for state offices from the first to the fourth Tuesday in August.
Paraeger's motivation behind the change is strictly to increase voter turnout, she said.
The House has not considered the measure yet.
She said that the change is warranted because many people would be on vacation during the first part of August.
Dennis Langley, chairman of the Kansas Democratic Party, said that the proposal was an underhanded political move to advance the Republican agenda in the state.
"This clearly demonstrates Senate Republican arrogance and their lack of concern for the people of Kansas who plan to vote," Langley said.
He said that Praeger's plan is designed to capitalize on key Democrats being absent from the state.
Praeger said that Langley's statements were unfounded.
"Obviously, they would like us to be out of town prior to the primary election. They understand many of our candidates and their campaign staff persons wish to attend our national convention." Langley said
"I had no idea when the national Democratic convention was," Praeger said.
Praeger said that she initially wanted to move the primary date to the first Tuesday in September, but the state election staff balked because Labor Day falls on the previous day.
Staff members said that the holiday would hinder their efforts to prepare for the primary.
Praeger said that she would be willing to move the date to the third Tuesday in August to accommodate the Democrats.
Knowing that her proposal had the bipartisan support of the Senate should indicate that it was not part of a sinister plan, she said.
Earlier this session, the Legislature and Gov. Bill Graves agreed to abolish the presidential preference primary in Kansas for this year. Supporters of eliminating the primary said that having the election this year would be wasteful of taxpayers' dollars. The outcome was a foregone conclusion because of Kansas Sen. Bob Dole's front-runner status and President Clinton's incumbency.
Congratulations to the new initiates and the new members of 1995-1996.
