Listeners to pledge money for captives in arthritis fundraiser
By JENNIFER WYRICK
Staff writer.
Arthritis is notorious for taking millions of people "hostage" with its cripping effects. The local Arthritis Foundation and radio station KLWN decided to turn the tables again this year and abduct their own hostages to raise money to fight the country's number one crippler.
The hostages will be abducted by the Lawrence Police Department tomorrow and taken to KLWN, 3035 Iowa St. From 10 to 2 p.m., KLWN disc jockey, Kelley Scott, will broadcast the names of her "hostages" in her radio station "tail."
Each hostage will remain on the air for 30 minutes to try and raise his or her "bail." Area residents can help their favorite hostages raise bail by phoning in pledges to KLWN, Bea Seats, event chairperson, said.
Seats said the foundation used the radio station each year because it was more effective than a pretend jail, and because the radio pleas were a unique way of raising money.
The foundation hopes that each hostage raises a bail of $300 to $500. Seats said the average amount raised by hostages last year was $200 and the combined raised amount was $1,500.
Christina Jordan, full-service banker at First National Bank, Ninth
and Massachusetts streets, and Arthritis Foundation treasurer, said she was happy to help arthritis victims and those that might have it in the future.
"I became involved with the foundation because I have a lot of elderly family members and customers of the bank who have arthritis, some so bad that they can barely walk," Jordan said. "I felt very strongly about doing something to help them."
Sandra Praeger, mayor of Lawrence, said she thought the event was a worthy cause and also a lot of fun.
"I have also known young adults who were afflicted with juvenile arthritis, and I know it is a terrible crippler," she said.
Patty Jaimes, county clerk, said, "I am aware of people who are afflicted with arthritis. I wanted to be there," he said. "People affected with the disease."
Gary Toebben, vice president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said he agreed to be taken hostage because he liked to support worthy community causes.
Seats said that some of the hostages would not be able to be on the air for one reason or another, but that they were already raising a portion of their bail.

One of the more controversial and highly acclaimed films of 1986. The mystery is set in a small town and depicts four very different individuals: a naive college student, a cabaret singer, a detective's daughter, and a psychotic killer. (1986)
An all-time campus favorite, the film is a mind-shattering experience of brilliant artistry. Kubrick confirms his impeccable direction and technical mastery in his vision of the future. Based on Anthony Browne's chilling novel, (1971)
