Louisiana Purchase to expand Lawrence shopping community
By Barbara Shear Staff writer
In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase expanded the United States. In 1986, the Louisiana Purchase will expand the Lawrence shopping community, the developer of the project said yesterday.
The $1.3 million shopping center at 23rd and Louisiana streets is expected to be completed March 15. The center will add 10 new shops and restaurants to Lawrence, said Arvid Zarley, builder and developer of Louisiana Purchase.
Zarley said he thought the center would open by June 1.
Some area merchants,however don't think the new shopping center is needed.
"We don't need another shopping center," said Mary Lou Brown, manager of So-Fro Fabrics, which is in the Malls shopping center, 711 W. 23rd St., across the street from Louisiana Purchase.
"Instead, we could make use of some of the empty buildings around town," she said.
David Billings, leasing agent, said that although no one had signed a lease for the shopping center, many people had expressed an interest in
it. He said that, he and Don Theno, another leasing agent for the center, were now negotiating with a few people and expected to receive leases from them by the end of the week.
Billings said 10 stores could fit into the 25,000 square foot shopping center. Several businesses such as hair salons, sandwich shops, liquor stores and dress shops have expressed an interest in leasing space.
"We will hopefully have one of the nicer shopping centers in the city,"
Zarley agreed, saying that although the other shopping centers in the city have been doing well, a new one would benefit the city.
"Lawrence needs something commercial to back up its residential growth." Zarley said. "A little bit of new life would not hurt Lawrence."
Ed Ash, assistant manager of Godfather's Pizza, also in the Malls shopping center, disagreed.
"We don't need another shopping center, at least at that corner," he said. "It is so congested already."
However, Brown and Ash said they thought the shopping center wouldn't hurt the other businesses in the area.
Brown said she wasn't worried about competition across the street either. Instead, she said she thought it might improve her business.
would put in another pizza place next door."
"It might help in getting people to this end of town." she said.
"There's a Valentino across the street," Ash said. "I don't think they
Gary Toobben, executive vicepresident of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said he didn't think the new shopping area would hurt the other businesses in the area.
"The consumer will determine whether or not another shopping area is needed." he said.
Zarley began working on the new shopping center project in July of 1985. He said he decided to build the shopping center because Lawrence's residential section had expanded and because he thought it would be a profitable venture.
The shopping center is divided in two buildings. The number of stores each building can hold is flexible, Zarley said.
Zarley, said that even though development of the complex was done privately, developers had worked with the city.
"We had to get approval from the city about everything," he said.
Urinalysis reveals more than drug use, also used for detection of health troubles
Attention recently has been given to urinalysis as a means to detect drug use, but the process also can reveal other useful medical information.

Urine tests can detect drugs and indications of diabetes, kidney disease and other health problems, a doctor at the University of Kansas Medical Center said last week.
Aryeh Hurwitz, the doctor and professor of clinical pharmacology, said the Med Center only used two types of tests to detect the presence of drugs in urine, but the number of tests available to check for possible health problems would fill pages in a medical journal.
Lowell Tilzer, a doctor and associate professor of pathology, said the Med Center used thin-layer chromatography and an enzyme assay test, to screen urine for drugs.
The tests, Tilzer said, can detect amphetamines, barbiturates, opiates, antidepressants and tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana, but not the amount ingested or inhaled by the user. Blood is required for quantitative tests, he said.
Jack Brown, associate professor of microbiology at KU, said thin-layer chromatography separated compounds on the basis of their physical and chemical properties, such as chemical structure and solubility.
Thin-layer chromatography, he said, is like putting a spot of ink near the end of a paper towel and placing that end in a jar with a small amount of ethanol.
The ink travels up the paper towel as the towel absorbs the ethanol, he said. The ink, moving up the towel with the ethanol, will separate, leaving a line of different colored spots in its path.
In uranalysis, instead of a paper towel, a glass plate
covered with a porous material is used.
Solutions containing reference compounds are run next to the test solutions, in this case urine, Brown said. If a spot left by the test solution lines up even with one in the reference solution, the substance in the urine can be determined.
The tests are reliable, Tilzer said, but false negative results are possible. The drug may be present, he said, but in undetectable quantities.
Because the amount of time that a drug remains detectable in the urine varies from drug to drug, the amount of time elapsed between drug use and testing can be important, Tilzer said. Although opiates only are detectable within hours after use, he said, marijuana is detectable for days or even weeks.
False positive results also are possible, which is the reason for using both thin-layer chromatography and the enzyme test — each test is a check for the other, Tilzer said.
Doctors do not run drug tests routinely, although other types of urine tests are common.
Hurwitz said that in routine physical examinations, doctors checked sugar levels and protein acidity in the urine. An abnormal sugar level can indicate that the patient has diabetes, he said, while an abnormal protein level can indicate kidney disease.
In any case, he said, the results of urine tests only give information about what diseases to check for with more specific tests. While abnormal sugar or protein acidity levels indicated what disease a patient might have, normal sugar or protein levels indicated what diseases could be ruled out.
If a doctor has reason to believe a patient has a particular problem, he said, more specialized tests can be run. However, urine tests can't detect all diseases.
