Time extended for reappraisal hearing
by Alan Morgan Kansan staff writer
Gov. Mike Hayden yesterday signed into law a law requiring all building stuffing room to property taxpayers and appraisers.
The new law, which went into effect immediately, extends the time taxpayers have to request an informal regard regarding reappraisal values. The same law also requires the taxation of 21 days after the date their valuation was mailed.
The deadline for hearings will be extended from April 1 to May 1, and the deadline for a county appraiser's final decision for any hearing from April 15 to May 15.
However, State Rep. Betty J. Charlton, D-N.Y., has vowed to seek any financial relief for Douglas County resident.
"This is just a small step toward helping the taxpayers." Charlton said. The extended time limit will give counties and property owners more time to seek relief from reappraisal woes.
There was no opposition to the law when it was introduced into the House, Charlton said, but representatives of the Revenue Department did express concern.
Charlton said the new law was in response to what she called an unacceptable shifting of the tax
"The bill was not strongly opposed by the Revenue Department, but they did say that it would throw the tax schedule off." Charlton said. "The department thought it would make it more difficult for completing the November tax notices."
that they would support that plan."
The reappraisal issue will be addressed when the Legislature meets next week to close the session, Charlton said. After talking with Douglas County officials, Mr. Sauer's issue of reappraisal might take a different twist.
"The whole operation of reappraisal is delayed for another year," Charlton said. "The work on the new scheme is not finished."
Charlton said delaying reappraisal for another year would require a constitutional amendment and a special election in June for Kansans to vote on the issue.
"These problems are going to have to be taken up next week." Charlton said.
"People are clearly trying to get the reappraisal process delayed." Winter said. "I think we should delay it until we have supported legislation that would do so, but when we brought up earlier in the session it was defeated 27-18.
"I just don't think it has gained the support it would need to pass the Senate."
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R. Lawrence, said the possibility of delaying the reappraisal process was
Winter said that the new law would help property owners by giving them more time to appeal their appraisals, but he did not think it would help in gaining any more relief.
Ball undergoes surgery after mild heart attack
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Comedienne Lucille Bailer suffered a heart attack and underwent open-heart surgery evenning, a hospital spokesman said.
The 77-year-old comedienne, who had been in ill health in recent years and suffered a mild heart attack May 11, arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center about noon with husband Gary Morton.
Doctors said she suffered a heart attack at the couple's Beverly Hills home.
"Her condition is clearly serious," said Ron Wise, Cedars-Sinai spoken-man. Open-heart surgery on the comediene began at 2 p.m. and was still in progress six hours later, Wise said.
Ball was conscious when she arrived at the hospital. She complained of moderate chest pains and a breath, ambulance attendants said.
Ball's physician summoned a private ambulance to her home at 11:05 a.m.
Her last public appearance was March 29, introducing the "Young Hollywood" production number with Bob Hope at the 61st Academy Awards. She received a standing ovation and a fanful slim silt ovaries. The young health and giggled freely throughout a brief routine with Hope.
"I'm shocked," Hope said yester
day. He said Ball was one of the "most wonderful women I have ever known."
"There's only one Lucy," he said.
"Like the rest of the world, (my wife)
Dolores and I are praying everything
will be all right."
The redheaded entertainer and her late former husband, Desi Arnaz, starred in "I Love Lucy," one of the most popular TV shows of all time, from 1831 to 1867. The show is still seen around the world in syndicated round.
Ball went solo in 1962 with "The Lucy Show." The name was changed to "Here's Lucy" in 1968, and it went off the air in 1974.
In 1950, Ball and Arnaz started their own production company, Desilu, on a showstring budget of $5,000. The Arnazes were divorced in 1960, and two years later Arnaz sold his share of the studios to Ball for $3 million. In 1967, she sold the company to Western Industrial Inc. for $18 million.
The Arnazes had two children, Lucie and Desi Jr.
Ball married nightclub comedian Morton in 1961. He became her executive producer.
In 1985, tiring of retirement, she took on one of the most challenging roles of her career: a bag lady in the television movie "Stone Filler." She was given the role when it was finished, but the show was a critical and ratings success.
Enjoying fruits of victory
Stouffer Place plots reward students with
prizes and produce by Marian Weeks Kansan staff writer
In the minds of many Stouffer Place vegetable and flower gardeners winning isn't everything.
"I love food," said Rashid Malik, whose garden, his second ever, won the $50 first prize in the annual Stouffer Neighborhood Association garden contest last August. Malik and other Stouffer students were shaming seeds this month in preparation for this year's contest.
Prizes of $50, $30 and $20 reward vegetable garden winners, and prizes of $30, $20 and $10 reward flower gardeners.
"But one of the best things about this garden is you get an abundance, so you end up giving to friends and neighbors." Malik said. "It's as if you're living in a dreamland."
Malik, Dhaka, Bangladesh,
graduate student, said that he
gave zucchini squash to
children and jalapenos to
Indian friends; and other
vegetables to Chinese, Egyptian
and Iranian friends. And he traded
corn and bell peppers with a neigh-
borhood boy. He is in one of the
56 20-29-foot plants.
Malik said. "Everyone is so nice and courteous."
Malik and his wife still are eating the vegetables they froze last summer and have made fewer garden beds. He has started gardening two years ago, he said.
People help each other and trade secrets, like how to use a clothes-pin to fasten the largest leaves of the plant around broccoli and cauliflower buds to help them grow larger.
"We had broccoli coming out our ears last year," said Laura Newsham, Lawrence graduate student and Stouffer Place resident.
"You make friends gardening."
She said that others had garden agendas beyond food. In addition to vegetables, one gardener grew fruits used to make and dye japhra.
Chi Shih Chang, Taipei, Taiwan,
graduate student, won second place in both the vegetable and the flower garden contest last August.
Chang also learned to garden at Stouffer Place. He gardens two hours every day, beginning at either 6 a.m. or sundown.
Around Chang's flower garden, he built an ornamental fence of sticks and vines. At one end, he held a stick bed with a stick bridge over it.
Mei Liang Chaiung, Taipei, Taiwan, graduate student, said that she and her husband learned to garden at Stouffer Place so that they could getables they could not get in Lawrence supermarket.
